Chapter Twenty-Nine: Conversation
At the gate of Mount Kadi, in the province of Ksley, a bald-headed and thin man sat on a horse, and on several carriages behind him were some wooden cages, each of which contained seven or eight people, and the stench was pervasive.
Suddenly, there was a sound of wings flapping in the air, and a horse with wings fell from the sky, and behind the horse was a magician dressed in gorgeous clothes.
"The 'Salom Family' captures slaves, violates the laws of the Empire, and is immediately arrested and imprisoned!" At his voice, a group of soldiers came out of the city and surrounded them.
The bald-headed thin man rolled his eyes and jumped off his horse sideways, trying in vain to break through the encirclement of the soldiers, but he was surrounded by a ball of flames and did not dare to move.
At the foot of the Lungen hills, a fat white magician wiped the sweat from his forehead and rode a military horse, while behind him was a string of numb slaves with their hands trapped in hemp rope and their faces numb and sluggish, numbering hundreds.
A heavy sword stopped the team, and before the fat white magician could scold, the man with the heavy sword opened his mouth and roared.
"The 'Salom Family' captures slaves, violates the laws of the Empire, and is immediately arrested and imprisoned!" The fat white magician's face changed drastically. But he knew that he was far from being an opponent, so he obediently tied his hands and caught it.
Pei Zi City! Khalida City! Such a scene appeared inside and outside dozens of large and small cities in the province of Xley.
Soon, many people knew that the Salom family had offended the new Legion Commander, Lord Earl Wright O'Connor, or that the Legion Commander was going to take someone to the knife, and in short, the Salom family might be doomed.
And some people who know a little bit of the inside sighed, maybe this legion leader has found the wrong target, after all, behind the Shalom family is the Holy See of Light.
Wright, on the other hand, entertained a middle-aged man in a white robe, neatly groomed black hair, and a serious face in his mansion.
"Archbishop Vincennes, I've heard of the great name for a long time, and I heard that you are the head of the Holy See in the province of Ksley, I don't know what to say." Wright endured the killing intent in his heart, but on the surface he smiled very plainly, holding a teapot in his hand, and poured a cup of tea for the archbishop.
"Lord Wright, you're being too polite." Archbishop Vincennes took the teacup with both hands and took a sip of his tea.
"I've got a good tea, isn't it?" Wright's tone was flat.
Seeing Wright's plain appearance, the very serious-looking bishop smiled wryly.
"Lord Wright, I'm not going to beat around the bush with you! I want to talk to you about the Salom family! ”
"House Shalom?" Wright seemed to be at a loss, "Oh, it's the family that illegally captured slaves, right?" ”
"Your Excellency is the Archbishop of the Holy See of Light, and although I don't know much about the teachings of the Holy See of Light, I also know what a great crime it is to capture and enslave the people of the Lord of Light!"
"Don't worry, I will have a careful investigation and will not convict an innocent member of the Salom family, but I will not spare a single sinner!"
Archbishop Vincennes' face flashed with a moment of confusion, and then his heart was furious.
He was confident that Wright would never be ignorant of the Shalom family's relationship with their Holy See of Light.
However, he could only suppress his anger, not to mention that the teacher of Wright was enough to overwhelm their entire Bright Sect. It is this Wright in front of him, whether it is personal strength or the power in his hands, far more than the Holy See of Light in the province of Xley, unless he...
Archbishop Vincennes forced a smile and said to Wright, "Legionnaire, I mean, the Salom family is very devout to our faith in light, and the reason why they are involved in the slave trade must be blinded. ”
。。。。。。。
The two talked for a long time, and finally Archbishop Vincennes left with a satisfied smile. And behind what he couldn't see, Wright had a faint look in his eyes.
During the conversation, the two did reach some agreements.
In the eyes of Archbishop Vincennes, although he paid a small benefit, he was assured that the Salom family would not be wiped out, or even severely damaged. Of course, the price is that a few important people, including the head of the family, will be executed by Wright, so that the legion commander will not lose face. But for him, what really matters to the Salom family is not those few people, but the perfect channel for capturing slaves. As for the small benefits, it is very worth it compared to befriending a strong person like Wright who is expected to be in the Holy Domain in the future.
In Wright's opinion, although it is not completely certain that Archbishop Vincennes is the 'big man' behind it, the relationship between the Salom family and the Holy See of Light has become closer. At the same time, with the endorsement of Archbishop Vincennes, Wright can deal with some people with great fanfare.
But before he could do that, he had to meet someone first.
John Salom, his theoretical grandfather.
As the leader of one of the more remote branches of the Salom family, he was older than Wright had imagined. The numb face has a beard, the limbs are thick and powerful, and the head should have been jet black, as his adoptive father Andy said, Wright's black hair and black eyes are passed down from his mother. However, the person in front of him could only occasionally find a few strands of pale hair, and a pair of eyes full of vicissitudes.
It stands to reason that a fifth-level warrior shouldn't be so old and numb before he is fifty years old.
"Are you John Salom?" Seeing his grandfather in the actual sense of his life, Wright couldn't help but be a little soft-hearted, although he was indignant that he didn't protect his mother well, but he also knew that his grandfather was completely powerless back then, and even then he created an opportunity for his mother to escape.
"I am, Lord Wright, I will recruit anything, and I will order the capture of those slaves." He was actually thrown out as an outcast of the Salom family. Although Archbishop Vincennes directly abandoned the head of the Salom family, for the head of the family, he will also try his best to get things out of himself. And the best thing to do is to find a scapegoat.
"Really?" Wright stared at his grandfather's eyes with a pair of eyes: "Then what I want to ask is about Erin Salom!" ”
"My daughter Ellie? She had nothing to do with these things, she was married to the Baron Audi... John Salom panicked.
"I'm not talking about Ellie Salomli, I'm talking about Erin Salom!"
"Erin?!" For the first time, John Salom's eyes flashed into Lightlight's eyes.
It was a pair of black pupils, and suddenly a possibility flashed through the old man's mind. Then he self-deprecatingly rejected that possibility.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Wright Pritter, and if I'm not mistaken, my real mother would be Erin Salom."
"Ahh Belch?... Whew" Wright's self-destructive identity almost made his grandfather exclaim, but he covered his mouth with his hand.
The first exchange between his grandfather and grandson was not very touching, and in John Salom's opinion, this big man who claimed to be his grandson felt very far away from him, and there was not much sense of reality.
In Wright's opinion, he doesn't have much affection for his biological parents, after all, he has never lived together. Of course, the absence of direct and pure feelings does not mean that he does not have the responsibility to avenge his biological parents.
The greatest common denominator of this old and young is nothing else, but hatred for the death of their daughter (mother).
John Salom and Wright talked for a long time, and Wright was mostly listening, and occasionally asking a few questions. That's it, a conversation is a night.
Wright looked at the almost bright sky outside the house, and suddenly spoke: "Elek, come in!" ”
A giant bird, six or seven meters tall, cautiously pushed open the gate and looked at John Salom with some strange eyes.
"Master, I'm here, what's wrong?" Electric's soul spoke.
"I have written a letter here, and you bring him and my letters to my mansion in the imperial capital, and set off tonight! Don't let people see it. ”
After arranging Elek, Wright turned to John Salom, opened his mouth, and still spat out the title: "Grandpa!" ”
Startled by this title, John Salom's eyes seemed to remember something, and two lines of tears were full of wrinkles.
"Your eyes are so similar to Irene!"
"It's all useless!"
"I..."
"Alright, grandpa!" Wright had to comfort this elder who was really closest to his blood relationship with a pleasant face. "Mother's revenge, I will take revenge! Today I will have someone bring me food and drink, you will follow my monster tonight and set off to the imperial capital, if that Archbishop Vincennes knows about our relationship, not to mention anything else, I will not do anything if he runs to the Temple of Light. ”
"As for the Salom family, rest assured that the group of miscellaneous pieces that killed my parents will be bouncing in a few days!"
It seems that the knot in his heart for more than 20 years has been opened, Wright's grandfather fell asleep in a drowsy sleep, and Wright couldn't help but wipe a handful of sweat.
However, today's conversation has greatly advanced the progress of his revenge, at least, he has a very clear idea of who are the enemies.
