Chapter 118: The Juggernaut arrives
The coachman followed the soldier's instructions and slowly pulled the carriage to the side, ready to be inspected.
Taking the parchment from the coachman's hand, the squad leader glanced at it and asked:
"What's inside?"
"One of my guests, and some goods for the firm." The coachman smiled and replied.
After listening to the coachman's answer, the squad leader gestured, and one of the soldiers walked to the back of the carriage, and then he saw the hooded guest that the coachman had said.
"Hey! Take off the hood! ”
The soldier stepped into the carriage and shouted. Entering Kalingbun requires a check, mainly to prevent wanted criminals from sneaking into the city or from entering the city with dangerous goods that are not applied for.
It seems that this is not the first time that the passenger has come to Galimbon, and he knows the rules here, so he doesn't say much and takes off his hood.
Seeing the face peeking out from under the hood, the inspecting soldier froze.
"Hey! Brand! What are you doing again, kid? Does it take that long to check something? The squad leader saw that his subordinates had not yet come down, so he yelled dissatisfied.
"Oh, Captain, it's okay." Roared at by his own captain, the soldier named Bran shuddered and came back to his senses. Without even checking the goods, he jumped out of the car and hurriedly answered. Before getting out of the car, he glanced at the passenger again, but unfortunately, the other person had already put the hood back on.
Returning the parchment to the coachman, the team leader saw that Bran was still by the carriage, and shouted, "What are you still doing in a daze?" It's been a long time to do things, haven't you been too comfortable lately? ”
Knowing that his boss was angry, Bran did not dare to speak, and hurried back to his post.
The team leader glared at Bran, and the meaning in his eyes was obvious: After the changing of the guard, see how Lao Tzu cleans you up!
Bran didn't see the captain's eyes, his mind was now full of the immaculate face, the glamorous lilac eyes, and the beautiful red lips. He had no idea what kind of purgatory awaited him tonight...
…
"Grand Duke, there is news from Gocha's side, and it is suspected that the traces of the Sword Saint have been found."
Kense, who was dealing with government affairs, raised his head and said in surprise:
"Natelya? Isn't she in the foothills of the Northeast? How did you get to Galimbon? ”
However, he was only surprised for a moment, and continued to deal with government affairs. There are still piles of papers on his desk, and if he doesn't get rid of them quickly, he will probably have to work overtime again tonight.
The Minister of Affairs, Visakt, pondered for a moment, and then replied, "I have a conjecture. ”
"Oh? Tell me about it? Putting his stamp on the paper, Kenseh rubbed his brow.
"Naterya likes to fight with the strong, and this is known from her deeds over the years. I think she's here for the Demon Hunter. A few months ago, during the Battle of the Contesino Guard, the performance of the Demon Hunter must have caught her attention. ”
"Your Excellency Lu Kaifeng? Also, killing the Beastmaster with one sword can definitely arouse the interest of this best sword saint in history. Picking up the teacup and taking a sip of black tea, Kenseer continued: "Later, you can go and talk to His Excellency Lu Kaifeng, so that he can have a bottom." By the way, if you want to duel with the Sword Master, try not to be in the inner city, the last time the barrier has not been repaired yet. ”
"By the way, when is the news from Gocha coming in?" Something seemed to come to mind, Keseer asked.
"News came early this morning, witnesses said that the woman suspected of being a Juggernaut stayed in his tavern for one night."
"This morning?" Keseer glanced out the window, the midday sun was already hanging, and it was estimated that in a few moments, his attendants would bring in lunch. Thinking of this, he frowned:
"If there are no accidents, she should have arrived, you can find her later, and then contact her and tell her about our concerns."
"Yes, Grand Duke."
"Well, so be it. By the way, what do you think about this? ”
"Hmm... What do you think, Grand Duke..."
...
den
Lu Kaifeng flipped through the pages of old ancient books, several books had been turned to a certain page, and lay on the table. If you look closely, you can see that the pages that are opened are full of references to magic. On the side, a maid stood respectfully, answering Lu Kaifeng's questions from time to time.
She is Lil, who is usually in charge of Lu Kaifeng's daily life, and explains some words and phrases that he doesn't know or things he doesn't understand when he is in the study.
Tuk Tuk Tuk –
Just as Lu Kaifeng was about to take another book from the shelf, there was a knock on the door.
"Your Excellency Lu Kaifeng, here is the Minister of Affairs, Visakt, come to talk to Your Excellency, I don't know if it is convenient for Your Excellency?"
Outside the door, the voice of Visakt was heard.
"Oh, of course it's convenient. Lil, open the door for me, thanks. ”
"Yes."
Lil walked to the door and opened it, revealing Visakt's slightly chubby figure, his rather thick hair was well groomed, and his whole person exuded the noble temperament of a nobleman.
Seeing Visakt, Lil respectfully performed the standard etiquette, then walked over to the cupboard with the teacups and took out a set of tea sets.
"You may be seated, Lord Visakt."
When Liel went to open the door, Lu Kaifeng put the bookmarks on the table, closed them one by one, put them aside, and cleaned up the desk. He made a "please" gesture to Visakt as he entered, and when he was seated, he sat down himself. Lil, who happened to be holding a cup of black tea, carefully placed it in front of Visakt.
"I wonder what Your Excellency is looking for me as an idler?"
I had just stood and flipped through the books for so long, and now I just sat down and rested. Picking up his teacup and taking a sip, Lu Kaifeng asked.
"Oh, it's nothing, just come and see if you're happy with your life here." Visakt smiled, "Your Excellency is a friend of the princess and a guest of our Galea, if you need anything, please feel free to mention it." ”
"Haha, thank you for your concern, I'm quite satisfied with the life here. By the way, the meals made in the kitchen were nice. ”
"Your Excellency is satisfied, and you will pass on your compliments to the kitchen in the future, and the chefs will surely be honored by this."
"You laughed, I'm just an ordinary person, how can I not be honored."
"Your Excellency, don't be so modest, if you are an ordinary person, then our gang of people who have not cultivated will be nothing."
"Haha, Your Excellency is also very humorous." Taking a sip of tea, Lu Kaifeng stopped joking: "Presumably, Your Excellency didn't come to me for small talk, right?" Don't know what's going on? ”
"Your Excellency, since this is the case, then I will say it directly."
"Have you heard that the Juggernaut is already in Galea?"
