Chapter 197: The Situation in the City
The guild interferes with the city's security management, and it is not enough to communicate with the city lord's mansion, and the magic council has to nod and agree.
As the fourth member of the council, the old man did not think that things were difficult.
After talking to Yves last night, he was arranging for manpower.
As soon as everything is ready, he plans to teach Jarrow with his heart...
This morning, the old man received a phone call.
The other party was an old man, with a white beard and white hair, wearing a plain white robe and holding a long staff.
Because it was a remote video, it was impossible to see the face clearly in the video.
"My old friend, I heard. You recently took in a disciple, is there such a thing? β
Facing this, the old man was very respectful: "Yes, that stupid disciple of the old man, he still has a long way to go, don't mention it!" Speaker, I don't know if you're looking for an old man.. What's the matter? β
After a moment of silence, the white-haired old man said slowly: "My old friend, why are you still so outside? Just call me Saruman just like you did when you were younger! β
"No, no, the speaker is the speaker, how can the old man call you by your name! Let's get down to business! β
"Well, whatever you want. Coming to you, mainly two things. The city you're staying in... It seems to be very uncalm, and whatever you want to do, it's up to you. β
"It's just. . . Something has to be taken care of as soon as possible! My old friend, that thing.."
"Speaker, this... You don't need to be reminded, the old man knows what to do! It's just that.. Things are a bit troublesome, please give the old man more time. As for the old man's apprentice, I hope you can be accommodating! β
Saruman was very eloquent: "Don't worry, as long as that young man doesn't do any bad deeds, he can be under your guardianship for a long time.."
The video was interrupted, not because of anything else, but because the old man received a message: Jarrow has lost his whereabouts!
In a hurry, the video was interrupted, and the old man began a large-scale search: "Good people... How could it be gone? That bastard (Deng) lost his hand last night, could it be him.. No, this feeling..! β
As a great magician who has been famous for many years, the old man of the class is very capable.
Following the faint aura outside the City Lord's Mansion, he quickly saw that something was wrong.
On the day Jarrow was promoted to D-rank, he wanted to summon Dover in front of him.
Dover wasn't summoned, but he remembered the breath.
How dangerous Dover was, the old man knew very well, and the reason why he didn't suppress it immediately at that time was because Jarrow needed it.
Now that he thinks about it, he realizes that he is very wrong: just a summon, he dares to treat his master like this, he is really bold!
While taking control of Jarrow's body, Dover noticed the old man.
In order to avoid being found, he didn't rush to Sha's Department Store, but walked around the city for a while, but the old man was really confused!
That's why he came so late.
Seeing that Jia Luo was covered in injuries, he blamed himself a little: it was all the old man's fault, if he had given him more things to defend himself, maybe it wouldn't have been like this!
"Hmph, he's the old man's disciple, who dares to touch him again?"
The old man of the class will come, and the great priest is not surprised: "Old man, you do this... I'm so embarrassed! Your disciple... Do you need me to emphasize what you have done? β
Regarding the arrival of the old man of the class, Jarrow was a little surprised.
Fearing that he would be affected, Jarrow had no choice but to forcibly suppress his anger: With the old man here, I shouldn't be fine!
Gollum, please! Alas, how can I fix you?
Before he calmed down, Jarrow became angry again.
His eyes widened, and the great priest was engulfed in the raging black flames: "Stinky bastard, I want you to die!" β
After swallowing the chewed half packet of bouncing candy, his magic power suddenly recovered a lot.
While the Grand Priest was confronting the old man, Jarrow broke out.
The [Great Black Flame Technique] was instantaneous, and the power was not only not weakened, but it was much stronger than before: "Hmm.. This fire is about to catch up with the Great Fireball Technique, and he really deserves to be a disciple taught by the old man! β
How can it be?
Failed to burn the high priest, Jarrow was not surprised, what surprised him was that the other party was unharmed!
"Boy, with the old man here, what are you doing desperately? Well, next... It's none of your business, just stay honest. β
Jia Luo wanted to move, but his body was overloaded, and he could stay awake, which was the limit: "Grandpa, who is this bastard?" β
"You don't know? Also, this guy spends his days in church, and if you know, that's weird! β
"Hmph, the old man doesn't care who you are, if you dare to hurt the old man's disciple, then you have to pay a price."
With the ability of the Great Priest, it is not difficult to evade Jarrow's magic.
As soon as the old man arrived, the two fought, but Jia Luo didn't notice it.
As soon as the old man moved seriously, the great priest was forced to retreat to the corner: "Old man, you better stop!" If we continue to fight, I'm afraid this street will be ruined! β
"You have to keep his mind, I know it all! Person.. You can take away, just.. Half a month later, he must be atonement from the church, or else."
"Atonement? The old man's disciple . What crime was committed? Hmph, put away your set! Boy, just now.. With which hand did he hurt you? β
"Uh, it's supposed to be the left hand!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the great priest's sturdy left hand was cut off in the air.
"Remember, this is just a small lesson for you! If you dare to have a next time, then don't blame the old man for not giving face to the church, get out! β
The left hand was broken, and the high priest did not show any pain.
Pick up your left hand and heal your wound calmly. After casting a spell to awaken the five deacons, he turned and led them away.
"Sir, this matter. I will report it to the Bishop and hopefully then... Can you give us a satisfactory explanation! β
Bishop? He is a great priest, he is so strong, so how strong does the bishop have to be?
"Don't pose in front of the old man! You've just got a good skin! β
Putting away his thoughts, the old man turned his head and asked, "Boy, what's the matter with her?" β
The guards surrounded Dodora, as if trying to take her away.
Seeing this, Jia Luo hurriedly shouted: "My lord, she is my person, you can't just take her away!" β
The captain of the guard is named Simon, 35 years old, a native of Tageira, nicknamed "Black Blade".
Because he is good at tracking and dark arts, he was promoted to second lieutenant by Yves and is currently in charge of security management in the North District.
Simon doesn't have any ambitions, he just wants to live in peace.
I thought that if there were fewer people in the city, things would be much easier, but I didn't expect this to happen!
Before hurrying over, he had received assurances from Yves. As long as he can keep Jarrow, he will be given a bonus afterwards.
For cigarette money, he worked quite hard.
But after seeing the old man Ban, he realized how tricky things were: "Withdraw!" Evacuate! Be sure to evacuate everyone in the vicinity within three minutes! β
Most of the guards don't know, but Simon does, the City Lord's Mansion seems to be the center of power, but it's not!
Decades ago, the entire city was under the rule of the Magical Guild.
After the construction of the Santa Maria del Church, the two sides had a very unpleasant quarrel, and armed clashes occurred from time to time.
After weighing the pros and cons, the two sides finally reached an agreement.
In order to ensure that the mission was not hindered, the Church had to legislate locally.
The executive power is in the hands of the lord's office, and Yves is currently the third lord.
When the church was first built, the branch church had limited strength. It is the limit of what can be legislated.
It is impossible to wrestle jurisdiction from the Council of Magic.
After the tie-down, there was no conflict on the surface, but there were many battles behind the scenes, but it was just in a different form.
Jarrow's affair was just a fuse. Demand.
The old man of the class has long been unaccustomed to the church's style, and the leaders of both sides will definitely fight when they see the above!
Simon prioritized the safety of his own people, and only after the high priest left, did he dare to approach and arrest people: "This guy has killed a lot of people from the Inquisition, we can't protect her, hurry up and kidnap her!" β
"My lord, that kid seems to want to save her, and we're doing this."
"He wants to protect people. . . It's his business, just do your thing! β
Stopped by Jarrow, Simon didn't want to deal with it.
Due to the presence of the old man of the class, he replied coldly: "Boy, this matter... I can't be the master! She killed someone, and I had to take her! If you really want to protect her, go to the city lord to intercede by yourself! β
Nodding his head to apologize, Simon took the man away.
Thinking that Yves shouldn't embarrass himself, Jarrow didn't worry too much.
"Grandpa, thank you for coming to save me! That one.. There's something wrong with my staff, can you..."
Jarrow was about to pick up Gollum when his head suddenly dizzy: What's the matter? Is it because of the overuse of magic?
When I woke up, a day had passed.
His whole body was sore, and it was difficult to even move his neck, so Jarrow had to stare blankly at the ceiling.
"Gollum is still there, did the old man bring me back?"
Holding the grunt with difficulty, seeing that the cracks were less, Jarrow couldn't help but wonder: was the old man helping to repair it? Or does Gollum have the ability to heal itself?
Knock knock!
The closed door was knocked by Henry: "Master, it's me, are you awake?" β
"Just woke up! Henry, who brought me back? β
"I don't understand what the master meant! Master, you came back alone last night, did the master go out in the middle of the night? β
"What? I came back alone? β
Speaking of the two ends, because there was nowhere to go for the time being, the little wolf left with the smoker uncle.
The manager of the magic pharmacy is very famous, and he thought that Uncle Smoker was, but when he was brought to his residence, he no longer had this guess: it should just be a duplicate name!
"Uncle, you're not too young anymore, being a coachman... It's supposed to be hard, so why not find something lighter? β
Located in the East End, Shanks' residence is a newly built two-bedroom apartment with full amenities. There is a subsidy from the city lord's mansion, and the rent is not expensive.
The air outside is good, but there is a strong smell of smoke inside!
The room was a bit cluttered, with little wolves there, except for the locked one, which had been cleaned up.
At this moment, the little wolf is standing in front of the window enjoying the sun, while Shanks is lying leisurely on the sofa.
"Who doesn't want to take it easy? But I don't know anything, I don't work as a coachman. What else can be done? β
"Stinky boy, don't stand stupid! In half an hour, we're going to work, so go wash your face!" β
