Chapter 747: Stormwind City

"Okay, go and sit with your senior brothers, and don't disturb Your Majesty anymore. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info" Elan reprimanded his son, then turned to Murong Feng and smiled apologetically, and said, "The young son is not sensible, let Your Majesty see you laugh." ”

Murong Feng chuckled and said, "Hehehe, it's okay, you can be so diligent and inquisitive at a young age, and your future achievements will definitely be limitless!" ”

"It's also a blessing for this bastard boy to have this kind word from you." Elan thanked him, and then hurriedly took his son and left here, so as not to disturb Murong Feng's banquet again.

The welcome banquet lasted until late at night, and the people in the hall were almost half drunk. Afterwards, Murong Feng learned that Karazan was forbidden to drink alcohol on weekdays, mainly to prevent some people from going crazy after getting drunk. It's nothing if it's just ordinary people getting drunk and playing drunk, but the magicians who live here are basically magicians with extraordinary powers, and if they get drunk and play drunk, the consequences will be too serious. Moreover, as a magician, the first self-discipline criterion is to maintain a sober and calm brain at all times, and alcohol is undoubtedly a deadly 'poison' for magicians.

So it's rare to be able to have a drink today, these magicians naturally lost all of their previous reserves, and they were all drunk, and nearly half of them drank and drank on the spot, and there were several who were handcuffed and forcibly taken away by the shackles of the forbidden demons......

"It really makes you laugh." Etiyesh led the way, and at the same time turned sideways to apologize to Murong Feng. Because just now one of the guys who was drunk and crazy actually proposed to Murong Feng in public at the instigation of others, and then not to mention how lively that scene was......

Murong Feng finally understood why Karazan banned alcohol on weekdays. Because she felt that having a group of mages drink was worse than a group of dwarven berserkers! On the contrary, Zuerjin, who was inconspicuous, single-handedly killed more than a dozen magicians who were very confident in his drinking, and then followed Murong Feng like a nobody, touching here and there, and taking some worthless gadgets by the way.

This little action naturally couldn't hide from Murong Feng and Etiyesh, who were walking in front, but fortunately, both of them were very embarrassed to turn a blind eye, and they were chatting with each other.

"That one is just a drunken gaffe, you don't have to take it to heart." Murong Fengwan smiled and said, not taking this matter to heart.

In his heart, Etiyesh had a few points higher in his evaluation of Murong Feng, who always maintained a calm and calm demeanor. sighed that he really deserved to be the spokesperson of the holy light in the world, and I am afraid that there are not many people on the mainland with this bearing alone.

Under the guidance of Etiyèsz, Murong Feng first went to visit Karn, and His Royal Highness the Prince, who had just recovered from a serious illness, fell asleep again after waking up for a while. Murong Feng saw that it was inconvenient to disturb, so he went to the teleportation hall with Etiyesh.

Karazhan's teleportation hall is oval in shape, ten feet square. Several mid-level mages had already set up the teleportation array in advance, and had notified Stormwind on the other side of the teleportation array that a big man was coming.

"A little caution is not a respect, and I hope that your majesty will not shirk." Etiyesh handed Murong Feng a handwritten letter and a leather bag, and when she teleported to Stormwind City and gave the letter to the Stormwind King, she would thank her again.

Murong Feng took the letter and the leather bag, didn't open it, just weighed it, and knew that it must contain valuable treasures.

"Then I'll be disrespectful. Leave. ”

"You should definitely come back next time you have time. There are still some trivial matters to be taken care of below, so I will not send them far. Etiyesh smiled and saluted goodbye.

Murong Feng nodded, and with Zuerjin with a bulging waist, he turned around and walked into the huge teleportation array, and after a burst of light and shadow, the two of them were teleported to Stormwind City, which was thousands of miles away.

***

Stormwind City, the former capital of the Stormwind Blade Kingdom. After destroying the arch-rival Griffon's Shield Kingdom half a month ago and achieving national unity, the current Stormwind King Langton Ureon officially renamed this new country in a scorched earth to the Stormwind Kingdom. It is a pity that the bad news from the north has forced this ordinary people, who have just achieved national reunification, to take up arms again and go north to defend this hard-won peace before they have time to enjoy the precious peace.

At this moment, in the magician area surrounded by greenery, after a burst of light and shadow bloomed, the figures of Murong Feng with an indifferent expression and a dizzy Zuerjin appeared in a magnificent hall.

At this moment, the main hall was already crowded with figures, and after Murong Feng regained his vision, he saw a group of people in gorgeous costumes standing in front of him. Among them, there were many magicians in magic robes, and more nobles in gold and silver. Especially the current one, wearing a diamond-encrusted crown, a brocade robe, and a golden sword hanging from his waist, is undoubtedly Langton Ureon, the king of the storm.

"Welcome, under the crown of light." Langton Ureon took the lead in bowing and leading everyone to bow to Murong Feng in unison, "Your arrival is the greatest gift of the Holy Light to our war-torn nation. ”

"Under the crown of the light?" Murong Feng smacked the title, and sighed that these people were really ingenious in order to please her, this was simply to deify her rhythm.

"Your Majesty, you are so grand." Murong Feng smiled politely.

"I can't overstate your presence." Langton Ureon said respectfully, "And as a father, this is also a debt of gratitude to his son's lifesaver. ”

Murong Feng smiled and no longer argued for these false courtesies. After a polite exchange with the Storm King, he was invited into a royal carriage inlaid with gold and jewels, and even Zurkin changed into a man-like fancy dress, and then rode a tall horse behind the carriage, and marched through the shadowy mage quarter to the king's castle under the solemn escort of a large group of heavily armored knights.

Since it was late at night, a soldier with a torch lit up the avenue every ten paces.

Murong Feng blinked his eyes and turned into night vision, and through the crystal car window, he saw that the houses along the way were very dilapidated, and some of them even showed no signs of being inhabited at all. And in some deep alleys, you can catch a glimpse of wandering paups huddled in dark corners.

Although the country was unified, the years of war had exhausted the vitality of the whole country. If it weren't for the prowess of the king of Urion in front of him, he ended the war of unification in a very short time, and the threat from the north would have left the other southern countries with no time to intervene here. Perhaps this newly reunited country may completely collapse due to various internal and external troubles.

Murong Feng retracted her thoughts and looked at the Storm King who had personally guarded the chariot for her. At first glance, this seems to be such a glory, but in Murong Feng's eyes, there are more potential political means.

Nowadays, among the various forces in the south of the Borderland Continent, the Holy Light Holy See may not be the most powerful, but it is undoubtedly the most prestigious existence in the hearts of ordinary people.

And Langton Urion undoubtedly took a fancy to this, so he wanted to curry favor with Murong Feng regardless of his identity, so as to gain the Holy Light's support for the Stormwind Kingdom. And something like that, in order to be grateful for the life-saving grace of his son, is also a means of propaganda to the outside world. Therefore, a politician, especially such a big-minded politician, no matter how high-sounding the excuses he makes on the surface, there must be a deeper political plan behind his scenes.

Just like the behavior of driving for Murong Feng in person now, it seems to be a bit self-deprecating, but isn't it also a binding strategy. At least in the eyes of the general public, His Majesty the Great Pope has been in his car.

At this moment, the cavalry team in front of them, which was responsible for guiding the carriage forward, suddenly turned a corner and headed north, entering another main road.

Murong Feng glanced at the royal castle area located on the hillside of the eastern district of the city, and suppressed the doubts in his heart. I saw the procession pass through an inner city gate and come to a wide inner city canal and walk along the riverbank.

Suddenly, a lively construction site appeared across the river, forming a sharp contrast with the dead and dark Nancheng District.

I saw that the canal was crowded with boats carrying various building materials, and the north bank of the river was also crowded with people, mixed with many stocky dwarves. Something big seems to be going on here.

"Your Majesty." Langton slowed down, looked back and smiled, "Guess what's being built on the other side of the river." ”

Murong Feng shook his head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are really embarrassed for me, I am not some omniscient and all-powerful god. ”

Langton laughed and said, "Your Majesty is so modest. Then he motioned to a knight who was following him, and he saw that the knight immediately rode across a stone bridge that connected the north and south cities.

Moments later, a fireworks meteor rose into the night sky and exploded to form a brilliant firework that lit up the entire night sky.

Then the fireworks exploded frequently in the night sky, and under the illumination of these colorful fireworks, I saw a giant statue more than ten meters high standing on the other side of the river.

I saw that this statue was wearing a holy crown, a robe, a staff in his right hand, and a sword in his left hand, which was the image of Murong Feng when he was crowned pope.

Behind this huge statue can be seen a huge construction site digging the foundation.

"Your Majesty." Langton said with a solemn face: "I intend to make the Holy Light the Holy See the state religion of my country and teach all people to believe in the Holy Light. And build the largest Holy Light Cathedral on the continent here! What do you think? ”

Murong Feng took a deep breath, and was also deeply shocked by the courage and methods of this storm king. Because the other party had already said this, she was embarrassed to open her mouth if she wanted to get off halfway.

After pondering for a long time, Murong Feng asked the first question: "Your Majesty, how much can you afford to build such a large project with your country's current national strength?" ”

According to what he saw and heard along the way, Murong Feng was very worried that this big project would become the last straw that crushed the country. In this way, it will inevitably drag the Holy Light Holy See down this troubled water.

And the most important point is that there is still a war going on in the north! Thousands of your soldiers and horses in the Stormwind Kingdom are still on the front line to resist the invasion of the Demon King Legion.

"Please take it easy." Langton smiled confidently: "After the people learned that it was for the construction of the Holy Light Cathedral, they all had money to contribute, and those who didn't have money to contribute. Many people even brought their own dry food to help build it free of charge. ”

Murong Feng was speechless for a while, and said in his heart that everyone is a smart person, who will believe this kind of nonsense that fools children?

Seeing that Murong Feng was still frowning, Langton hurriedly said: "As for the quality of the project, please rest assured, I have hired thousands of the best construction workers from the Masons Guild to participate in the construction of the Holy Light Cathedral, and there are also many top construction engineers from the Dwarf Kingdom. ”

The more Murong Feng listened, the more frightened he became, and he felt that this pit was really too big. If you jump in, it's a self-defeating rhythm!

"Your Majesty!" Murong Feng felt that even if he tore his face, he couldn't trap the entire Holy Light Sect for a little face, so he asked very seriously: "Everyone is a smart person, what is your purpose or tell the truth!" ”

Langton's expression froze, but he immediately returned to normal, and said with a smile: "It seems that His Majesty is still not worried about his country's financial resources!" Well, I'll give you a thorough explanation here. In fact, the construction of this Holy Light Cathedral is only a little manpower for the Storm Kingdom, and the real big money lord is someone else. ”

"Who'???" Murong Feng asked.

"When you see him, you'll understand everything." Langton smiled mysteriously, then spurred his horse to speed up the carriage and gallop away in the direction of the Imperial City.

Soon the escort team came to the inner gate of the Imperial City, only to see the heavily guarded royal guards on both sides of the avenue.

Murong Feng got out of the carriage and, under the guidance of Langton, followed by a large group of nobles and slowly entered the majestic gate of the royal castle. Then follow a straight avenue to a banquet hall full of laughter.

Elegant music reverberates through the glittering halls, and long brocade-paved tables are filled with delicacies.

Elegant waiters walk among the nobles with wine trays in hand.

When Langton led Murong Feng into this luxurious banquet hall, all the noise immediately disappeared.

Langton took one of the glasses handed by the waiter and held it high, "Ladies and gentlemen, let us welcome His Majesty the Light to our country!" ”

For a while, in the hall, these aristocratic lords who only cared about themselves enjoying the luxury of brocade clothes and food, but ignored the starvation of the poor people on the street outside, rushed to the front and offered Murong Feng the most sincere welcome speech.

Although Murong Feng maintained a warm smile on his face, he felt a greasy taste in his heart.

The slightly chaotic scene was quickly pacified by Langton, and then the storm king introduced Murong Feng to these big nobles one by one, but unfortunately Murong Feng didn't take these fat guys in his eyes at all, basically going in and out of the left ear.

At the end of the introduction, Langton suddenly changed into a straight face and said very solemnly: "Your Majesty, didn't you just doubt whether your country could afford to build the Holy Light Cathedral?" I would now like to introduce you to a member of the royal family from the northern kingdom of Lordaeron, Countess Catlana Presto. ”

As he spoke, the nobles got out of the way. Then I saw a black-haired beauty with an evil smile walking through everyone and walking in front of the stunned Murong Feng, pursing her gorgeous red lips and chuckling.

"Oh, may the Light be with you, my Pope." (To be continued.) )
