Chapter 1416: The Roman King
Jia Zhengjin immediately swore an oath to ensure that the entire team would not do anything unfavorable to the king or even to the Duchy of Tairuos.
After he had sworn an oath, the bearded uncle relented: "Well, since you have sworn to the gods and proved yourself, then come with me, and I will take you to the king!"
"Thank you!" Jia Zhengjin hurriedly beckoned Tina, Perrin, Christina, Aypar, and Vanessa, and walked forward with the tiger bee mount and followed the bearded uncle.
In order to show kindness, he also hung the mud jars that Uncle Bearded Bearded had stored water on the tiger bees, so that they could save their strength.
"Where are the guests from?" said Uncle Bearded as he led the way, looking back at the tiger bees from time to time, "What's the matter with these tiger bees? I've never heard of anyone who can train them as mounts, and they seem to be quite obedient." ”
"We are mercenaries from Holy Dragon City!" Jia Zhengjin replied indifferently, "Have you heard of the Holy Soul Mercenary Group?"
"Oh~ I've heard a little!" "Uncle Bearded Beard nodded immediately, "No wonder, I guessed just now that you have something to do with Holy Dragon City." ”
"Why?"
"I heard that the Holy Dragon City can tame Ruluto as a mount, and even all kinds of demonic beasts can be tamed. That being the case, taming the tiger bee should be no problem. Uncle Bearded Beard laughed as he walked, "Moreover, you seem to be very concerned about topics related to Holy Dragon City, so you can almost certainly be someone from over there." ”
"Awesome!" Jia Zhengjin nodded, "I'm Martin Payton of the Holy Soul Mercenary Regiment, a third-order priest. These are my wife, the third-order magician Conte, the third-order priest Chris, who is also a third-order priest, and the third-order warrior Lin. The other two are our companions Apar and Vanessa, who is also a third-order magician, and Vanessa is the most powerful fourth-order warrior among us!"
"Oh?" the bearded uncle glanced at Vanessa suspiciously, then smiled noncommittally, "That's it!"
"I haven't asked for advice yet," Jia Zhengjin finished introducing himself, and directly asked the name ......of the bearded uncle.
"Me?" said the bearded uncle, who led them to the door of a large wooden hut, pushed it open and made a gesture to invite them in, "Come in." ”
"Didn't you go to the king?" Jia Zhengjin asked curiously, but he still led the team into the wooden house with him.
When he arrived at the wooden house, he found that the entrance of the house was guarded by several soldiers, and when he saw the bearded uncle enter, he immediately saluted respectfully: "See Lord Platon!"
"No courtesy!" the bearded uncle waved his hand, "Is Roman here?"
"Your Majesty is reading!" replied the soldier respectfully.
"Well, I'm taking guests to visit Your Majesty, so don't let anyone disturb you during this time. ”
"Yes!"
"Come with me!" said the bearded uncle with a smile back to Jia Zhengjin.
Jia Zhengjin was a little surprised, and led the team to follow him and directly entered the wooden house: "They call you Master Platon?"
"I'm sorry!" said the bearded uncle with a smile, "Platon is my name, and I am currently the Left Prime Minister of the Duchy of Tyros, and I am also the uncle of His Majesty Roman. ”
"Damn!" Jia Zhengjin was frightened, "Prime Minister Zuo, the king's own uncle? You, you are actually selling water on the side of the road? No, if you are such a big official, why don't the others react?"
"Because I'm used to it!" Pladon laughed, "our country is not like other places, and there is not much difference between officials and civilians. In fact, on that street just now, there were at least thirty or forty high-ranking officials selling water. Whether it is a civilian or an official, they are all supporting themselves, and there is no way. ”
"Destroy the three views!" Jia Zhengjin was dumbfounded, because this kind of thing was unheard of.
"His Majesty Roman should be upstairs, you wait here, I'll let you know first. When he reached the staircase, Platon turned around and told them to wait, and then went straight up the wooden stairs to the upper floor.
A young-sounding voice soon came from above, speaking directly to Platon.
There is no sound insulation, so you can hear it clearly underneath. It was Pradon who informed him that a guest had come to visit, and asked His Majesty to stop the book in his hand and meet the guest.
It is not so much a conversation between the king and the prime minister as it is more like an exchange between uncles and nephews of ordinary families.
After a while, Platon said above, "Pastor Martin, Your Majesty invites you to come up. ”
"Okay!" Jia Zhengjin immediately led the girls to the upstairs room.
As the king's room, it was really rudimentary. In fact, it's just an ordinary house, just a little bigger than an ordinary commoner's home, and it's nothing special other than that.
In front of the window of the room, a young man in his twenties sits, with a thick stack of books and a teacup on the table.
This young man is supposed to be the Roman King, but he does not wear a crown or a king's robes, and he is probably considered an ordinary villager when he walks outside.
Jia Zhengjin was sure that there was no one else at the scene, so he took the girls to salute politely and say hello: "See His Majesty the King!"
"What are you looking for me?" Roman looked at Jia Zhengjin and the others curiously, and then frowned and looked at his uncle, "They cover their heads and cover their faces, and they don't show their true faces, will there be a problem?"
"Your Majesty, rest assured," Platon said immediately, "the guests have sworn to the gods just now that they will never do you any disadvantage to you, and to the Duchy of Tyros!"
"That's good!" Roman breathed a sigh of relief and turned his head to look at Jia Zhengjin, "A few guests, the prime minister has already told me your identity just now. The mercenaries of Holy Dragon City, you don't know what to say to me?"
"Probably about the concrete road!" Pladon reminded softly from the side.
"That's right!" Jia Zhengjin nodded, "Regarding the cement road, the city lord must not miss a part of his planning, so ......"
"Concrete road?" Roman sighed, "I heard that it was good, but we can't afford it." The treasury of the Duchy of Tyroth is empty...... It should be said that there is no treasury at all, and we are poor! It will certainly cost a huge amount of money to build a concrete road, and I can barely support even my own people, so how can I get so much money? Moreover, there is a scarcity of resources in our country, or even no resources at all, and there is really nothing we can do!"
"We'll report this matter to the Lord of Holy Dragon City ourselves, it doesn't seem like there's any need to discuss it in detail with a few mercenaries!" Platon interjected on the side.
"Actually, we can really discuss this matter!" Jia Zhengjin replied, "Actually, our mercenary group has accepted the commission of the city lord of the Holy Dragon City, and this time we will go to the island country of Yilan Sea to deal with the problem of the reluctance to build a concrete road over there. This applies not only to the island nations of Eland Island, but also to other regions. Therefore, the cement road construction project on your side is actually under my control!"
"Oh, there is such a thing?" Platon was a little surprised, "but even so, you can see the current situation of our country, and there is really nothing you can do!"
"That's why I approached His Majesty the King, hoping to solve this problem!" Jia Zhengjin said, "I have an idea, you can discuss the feasibility carefully!"
