Chapter 576: Dragon Country (5)
As the governor, Margosus's mansion sat beside a lake, with seven towers rising from the ground, and the towering brick walls were covered with verdant ivy, and the soldiers stopped at the door, but were stopped by the guards, who yelled at the dragonmen guards in an unfamiliar dragon language, and the other responded in the same tone, and then waved their paws to signal that they could enter.
"In order to welcome you, many powerful people will be present at tomorrow's dinner, these people are the pillars of Garanord, and the governor will naturally protect the guests, especially you." The captain of the guard walked beside Caesar and led the way: "So the guards here have become a lot stricter. ”
Inside the mansion, where the scent of peppers, lemons, and cinnamon filled the air, Caesar was escorted into the drawing room, surrounded by stained glass depicting the rise of the Empire, and the black candelabra burning in the four walls, and the lady-in-waiting, in a gentle, sweet voice, announcing his visit under the arcade of carved stone lions: "Your guest has arrived, Lord Doge." ”
Caesar walked past the maid into the courtyard of stone pillars and verdant vines, the shadows of the leaves dyed bone-white by the moonlight, and Margasus sat at the stone table in the courtyard, with fragrant roast duck and pepper oranges in front of him, and Caesar was looking at him as he did the other.
The creature in front of him was a head taller than the tallest dragonman Margosus had ever seen, and he was very strong, but his movements were extremely agile and light, he barely made a sound when he moved, and his body was as graceful as a hunting night leopard, his black skin was covered with an armor-like cuticle, and there were sharp horns on the back of his skull.
This guy's strength is not weak, Margosos didn't see that the other party had any cramped and hesitant emotions and behaviors after seeing him, since he dared to be invited to come generously, the possibility of identity fraud should be very small.
"Welcome."
Margosos beckoned, and at the same time tore off a roast duck wing and put it in his mouth and bit it, his beard was stained with honey and oil, although he completely turned into a human form, this guy was still a dragon in essence, and he still maintained the habit of belonging to the dragon class: "It's too late today, let's just eat some first, and we'll have dinner for you tomorrow." What do you like to eat? Rotten fish, I called the kitchen in advance to prepare it, and it will be delivered soon. ”
"Don't."
Caesar sat down, and Margosus's casual and familiar attitude gave him a lot of good feelings, compared to the masked waiter before, this strong man who was richly dressed but ate meat in disregard of etiquette was much cuter, but he really didn't want to eat rotten fish, the rotten and sour surface was occasionally crawling with maggots, and the stinky fish was hard to swallow just by looking at it.
However, if the thing was actually eaten, it tasted surprisingly good, and Caesar still remembers it.
"Just eat human food." Caesar said.
"Okay." Margosus snapped his fingers and turned his head to the outside and shouted, "Get some food first, and then make twenty servings of roast duck, kill five cows, and carry a few barrels of wine." ”
Plates of grilled meats, plump black sausages, piping hot and crispy blood pies, fruit, beet soup, and intricately crafted Garlanor cakes are served in front of you.
"I have heard humans say that if you have a misunderstanding with someone that is not easy to resolve, invite him to drink, drink the wine, and the misunderstanding will be cleared up." Margasus shoved the wine and meat before Caesar.
"What misunderstanding?" Caesar took a sip of wine.
Margosus glanced at him, and then said, "I'm not done yet, the focus is on the second half of the sentence." Humans also say that if you want to make friends with a stranger, invite him to drink, and after drinking it, the relationship will become acquainted. ”
Caesar began to nibble on the barbecue in front of him, although he could have lived well without eating with his physique, but food was one of the few hobbies in his dragon life, and he had not stuffed anything into his mouth for fifty years, and that feeling could not be expressed in words.
After listening to Magosus's words, Caesar, who focused on food, casually answered: "Aren't you the governor of Garanord, listen to humans like this." ”163TXT
The blue dragon on the opposite side was shocked in his heart, realizing that the test was coming, and sure enough, he couldn't escape this pass no matter what, as a messenger sent by the royal court, he would definitely review his situation after seeing him.
"It's because I'm a governor that I have to listen to humans."
Marcosus pretended not to care and laughed: "When I was a lord in the past, I could do whatever I wanted, and any dependents who dared to disobey would be thrown into the pot and boiled, and whoever was not pleasing to the eye would be electrocuted, but now that the times have changed, as a governor, I must give priority to the interests of the empire and do a good job in the city of Garanord, I am not good at this kind of thing, so I can only think more and listen to those smart human beings." ”
Caesar's heart said this, why did it sound so twisted, like ...... It's like handing over an assessment answer, this feeling is exactly the same as sitting on the throne and listening to the reports of his subordinates before, is it possible that this guy has discovered his true identity?
No, Caesar stared at Margosus, this blue dragon had just stepped into the legend, and it was impossible for him to have the ability to see through his disguise.
This scrutinizing look, that's right, this guy is the messenger sent by the royal court, and Margosos is more and more sure in his heart.
"It's hard to manage Garanord, isn't it?" Caesar continued to stuff meat into his mouth, asking politely.
"Serving the empire, it's not hard, our Blue Dragon is doing this." Margosus began to show his loyalty: "Thanks to the trust of Emperor Caesar the Great, he entrusted me with the important task, and now that the Great Emperor is asleep, we must help him maintain the Dragon Empire, and nothing can go wrong." ”
He smacked his lips, and then said: "If you have time, you can mention it to His Highness Odin, saying that Garanord welcomes His Highness and the Queen to come and play, after all, this is the city that His Majesty built for them, and the people respect them very much." ”
Caesar understood why this guy was saying these strange things, in order to scare the guard, he deliberately said that he was in the service of His Royal Highness Odin, and afterwards this sentence reached the ears of Margosus, and this guy believed it.
"So easy to deceive?"
Caesar was a little annoyed, just because of a casual sentence, without verifying his identity to the royal court, Margosus believed his words, doesn't that mean that as long as a random person comes, this guy can be easily deceived around?
During his tenure, the blue dragon didn't know how many stupid things he had done.
But in fact, Margosus is really not to blame for this, it is Caesar himself who fell into a misunderstanding, you must know that the governor of Garlanod is a real legendary blue dragon, if he really wants to reveal his full body, he can scare ordinary people to death by just scare.
Except for Caesar, how could anyone dare to lie in front of this blue dragon, pretending to be an envoy of the royal court, and calmly invited to the banquet to sit down and eat meat.
The most important thing is that the information revealed by Caesar is not perfect, Margosus has never been able to spy on his true power, and can only get a general information of "legends", coupled with the appearance and characteristics of his black king's blood, every detail makes Margosus more convinced, convinced that he is a powerful person sent by the royal court, and there is no need to seek verification from above.
"Okay."
Caesar muttered, and although he was dissatisfied, he did not attack immediately, but took the name of Magosus to heart, and prepared to clean him up after he returned: "According to the local law in force in Garlanord, what punishment will those two thieves face in the end?" ”
