Chapter 100: There is a man outside the city gate
The wind is howling, the snow is falling, and now that it is the coldest part of winter, even those animals that do not need to hibernate will no longer come out of their nests to feed in such a climate, because it is too cold.
In the vast wasteland, a man in a robe and hood was walking forward with a magic staff.
He was obviously not fast, but every step he took was already fifty meters away. Fortunately, it was snowing heavily, and there were no pedestrians on the wasteland, and anyone who saw such a situation would have to be scared to death.
He set out from the Guran Empire, and now it only took half a day, but he has already reached the middle of the Ghaneman Empire, and the speed is really terrifying.
You must know that this kind of travel speed has even surpassed the wind magister's wind spell.
Among the wind magic, there is a top-level flying magic called "Wind Follows". It is said that with this magic, you can fly thousands of miles in a day.
But the speed is completely incomparable to that of this man.
In the blink of an eye, this mysterious man from the Guran Empire had disappeared into the vast wasteland.
......
The imperial capital in the winter afternoon is still very cold. The snow came so suddenly and so violently that it was already thick on the ground in a matter of moments.
The extremely fat finance minister of the imperial capital was lying by the fire at this time, holding a greasy cheese chicken leg in his hand, and was munching on it.
In the past two years, King Ghanima's health has become more and more deteriorating, and many affairs have been entrusted to him and the Archbishop of the Holy Light.
It's just that Archbishop Holy Light has always disliked these complicated affairs, so the Chancellor of the Exchequer took over all the affairs without hesitation.
In the name of beauty, it is said that His Majesty the King and the Archbishop share their worries, but in fact, they monopolize power and exclude dissidents in the court. In order to gain a foothold in the court church, countless officials flattered the chancellor of the exchequer, and even bribed him in private.
The fat man finished his drumsticks, sucked his fingers, and threw the bone behind him, and a servant hurriedly stepped forward, picked it up, and walked out of the room.
This fat man's name is Jobrie Joseph, and he is now a big celebrity in the imperial capital.
Chobrie picked up a gold sculpture beside him and giggled happily as he looked at the carving.
This is a gift from a minister just now, saying that he is coming to visit him, but in fact it is for the sake of giving gifts. Naturally, things cannot be taken in vain, and it is only ten days before the annual official promotion and promotion. Those who want to go further above the official career of the Empire will naturally do everything they can to please the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who has finally decided to promote the list.
Zuo Cheng? That's just a chess piece in his hand, he has been in the officialdom of the imperial capital for many years, who is completely clean behind him? Many people's handles are firmly grasped by this fat man, and those who are unwilling to bow down to him have been kicked into the corner by him all these years, and there is no sound at all.
His Majesty the King has left it alone, and the Archbishop has been staying in the Cathedral of the Holy Light all year round to study the mysteries of magic, and who will he go to complain about?
Just when the powerful finance minister was secretly proud, a delicate voice sounded outside the door: "Master, Lord City Guard is here." ”
"Castle Guard, what is that old thing looking for me?" Jobry was visibly impatient.
"I don't know, but looking at his appearance, he seems to be in a hurry. The glamorous maid continued.
Jobley walked up to the young maid, squeezed her buttocks hard, and then smiled evilly: "Beauty, when I'm done with my business, I'll come back and clean you up!"
The maid sneered, "Master, you are too bad. With that, she covered her face with her hands and ran away pretending to be shy.
Looking at the trembling and writhing hips, Jobly swallowed his saliva, and then reluctantly withdrew his gaze and walked towards the hall.
This beautiful servant he had recently received from a minister. In the past, every time he went to the minister's house as a guest, the fat man would stare at the beautiful lady from time to time.
The minister had such a good eye that he naturally saw the clue, and it didn't take long for him to send the beauty to Joebri's mansion.
There is a tigress at home, and this high-powered finance minister is not afraid of anyone now, but the tigress who will go crazy.
Once, the fat man Chobrie carried his tigress on his back and secretly went to the best gold house in the imperial capital, where he had a good time, and finally although he bathed and changed his clothes, he tried his best to hide the smell of his body, but in the end he was noticed by the tigress, and then there was a crackling beating, and several blood marks were scratched on his face, so that he did not dare to go out for several days.
Therefore, even if a beautiful woman is sent to the door, he can only call her as a servant, and he does not dare to serve closely, and only dares to let her do some simple work of communication. Of course, it is not known whether there are some unknown things in private.
Originally, the city guard was not under the control of Jobley, but now the imperial army, except for the border defense of the national border, most of the power is concentrated in the area of the Warcraft Mountains, so at this time, there are no too high-level generals in the city, and the city guard can only be temporarily taken care of by the first member of the imperial capital.
When he came to the hall, he saw that the castle guard had been standing at the door, and had not sat down.
Jobley was relieved to know that the chairs in his hall had just been covered with an expensive set of animal skins, and he didn't want to be soiled by the strange smell of the city guard.
Jobry frowned, pinched his nose and said, "What the hell is the matter, you have to brave the heavy snow to come?"
The city keeper said in an anxious tone: "There is a magician from outside the imperial capital, saying that he is from the Gulan Empire, and he asks to meet the archbishop. ”
"Archbishop, that's what he said he could see, just get rid of him!" Jobry sneered, and was about to turn and leave.
You must know that there are many magicians who come to the imperial capital every day to ask to see the archbishop, and they all hope to learn the magic of holy light from the archbishop, but they are all politely rejected by the archbishop. In Jobley's view, today there is just one more self-righteous guy, and it is adjacent to a small country.
The city guard hurriedly shouted to Jobrey, "My lord, we want to drive him away, but we can't do it." He also destroyed a dozen of our large dragon crossbows. ”
"What!" cried out Chopper angrily, "destroyed the dragon crossbow on the wall, how?"
Seeing that Job was angry, the city guard also felt a little uneasy in his heart: "With a wave of his hand, more than a dozen dragon crossbows were shattered into countless pieces. ”
"Huh?" exclaimed Jobley, "go, take me there!"
The fat man was completely anxious this time. The dragon crossbow is one of the symbols of the military power of the Garneman Empire, and each one is extremely expensive.
More than a dozen planes were destroyed at one time? What kind of strength was that man? When Jobley thought of the high cost of construction, his heart couldn't help but bleed.
