Chapter 110: Wooing
When seven or eight bloodied professionals dragged the corpses of the snake men and a cart of soul jars back to their original appearance after the death of the dead, all the Kagestanites were stunned to see these things.
Although most of the corpses projected by these snake people have been almost decomposed, their true identity can still be clearly seen from their unique size and the clothes on their bodies.
Especially those soul jars. The sergeant major of the Kaltim City Guard opened one in public, and the blasphemous and tortured souls that flew out of it immediately alarmed the mage federation and the guardians of Kaltim.
Four legendary-level powerhouses jointly rushed to the scene and conducted a series of investigations and tests on the remaining soul tanks.
In the end, they came to the conclusion that the snake cultists of the True God Cult were collecting human souls for some extremely evil purpose.
It is very likely that this evil purpose has something to do with the masters behind them and their true plans.
The purpose of the earlier attack on Alcanas, and the subsequent series of attacks posing as biters and bandits, were likely in preparation for this plan.
They had to find a way to find out about this plan and take precautions, otherwise judging by the number of souls these guys collected, once their plan was successfully implemented, it would be a catastrophe for the whole of Kaijistan.
But a thorough investigation of the matter requires a large number of competent people, and it is precisely the competent personnel that Kegistan lacks most now.
The professions and mercenaries in the kingdom who have the ability to fight monsters have long been requisitioned, and all legions, including the Iron Wolf Guard, have entered various large and medium-sized towns in the country to garrison them, in order to prevent the True God Cult from attacking these important towns.
Even the mages in the Mage Federation have been stationed in various important strongholds, and the entire Kingdom of Kegistan is now in an awkward situation of extreme tension and no one is available.
Those small villages and towns are defended only by the security teams composed of ordinary people, and these security teams can barely be used against ordinary thugs and bandits, but it is completely difficult for them to defend against the infiltration and invasion of the True God Cult.
Faced with this situation, the three Guardians stationed in Kartim decided to report the matter to the Council, hoping that the Council would come forward to talk to Xue Hua again.
They are indeed in dire need of the help of the swarm now, and only a large number of powerful swarms can help them relieve their urgent needs.
......
Just when the country of Kaijistan was in a hurry because of the problem of the True God Cult, Xue Hua, the savior they were looking forward to, had already arrived at the northern border of King's Harbor on the king worm at this time.
After nearly half a month of travel, Xue Hua took his two sisters to visit various large towns in the Western Continent.
After relaxing along the way, the trio finally arrived at the last stopover on their way to the Howorth Islands.
At this moment, the final preparations for the Fertility Festival have begun in the entire King's Port, and both the noble and port areas have been renovated.
Rings of abundance made of rhizomes of various crops and scales of fish were hung outside all the shops near the streets, and the streets were cleaned up, and even the dirty and messy avenues and fish markets in the port area were cleaned.
Many abandoned trestles on the pier that were about to collapse have been demolished or rebuilt, and the rusted iron chains, oilcloths stained with unknown blood, and empty crates that had been piled up everywhere in the past have also been completely removed.
The haphazard shacks were forcibly demolished, and the homeless people living in them were temporarily relocated to a newly built improvised wooden hut on the north side of the pier.
The whole of King's Harbour seemed to have a new look, and even the people walking on the streets had a rare smile on their faces.
The Fertility Festival is King's Harbour... No, it should be said that it is one of the most important festivals of the year in the various towns and kingdoms of southern Canduras, it is a bit like the Spring Festival that Xue Hua spent more than 20 years in his previous life, and it is a day when people pray for good weather and a full harvest in the new year.
The exact origin of this festival is unknown, but it is known that on this day, all towns and cities in the southern part of the Canduras region are held with great festivities, and the kings of various countries open the royal storehouses and bring out all kinds of delicacies and delicacies to present a feast for the whole country to entertain all who come to the festival in recognition of their service to the kingdom in the past few days.
On the day of the festival, the king would also make a public address to his subjects in the large square in front of the palace, declaring his vision for the future and his gratitude to the gods.
The festival lasts for three days, during which people can sing and drink to their heart's content, and there will always be endless food and wine at the feast.
By the time Xue Hua arrived, there were only two days left before the Fertility Festival in King's Port.
And under the joyful laughter on the surface of this harbor kingdom, a hidden undercurrent has also surged to the brink of exploding......
The moment he walked into the temporary residence of Kane and the parliamentary legations, several forces secretly opposing in King's Harbor received information, and they immediately reacted to Xue Hua's arrival according to their own response plans.
The first to respond was Wood VI, Xue Hua had just stepped into the gate of the embassy residence with his front foot, and Wood VI's envoy followed suit.
And it was none other than the envoy who came to contact Xue Hua, it was none other than the important minister of the kingdom who served as the Minister of War for King's Port, and the next head of the Frank family: Marcy Frank.
"Yo! Lord Marcy, I am flattered to have served as my messenger in your capacity! ”
Xue Hua stood beside Kane, looking at the Minister of War, who was dressed in a delicate aristocratic costume studded with gems, and began to look around as soon as he entered the door, and said with a mocking smile.
"Ahh Hello, Mr. Xue Hua, what you said is not right, for a hero like you who recovered the Second World and saved King's Harbor, it is my honor to be able to welcome you on behalf of King's Harbor.
What's more, according to the rules of a professional, you are now my senior, and I came to greet you, what is there to be wronged? ”
The sedan chair carries people, and everyone can say beautiful words.
Don't look at Marcy's usual appearance as a serious and unsmiling soldier, but he has also been rolling in the political dye vat of King's Port for so many years, and he naturally has a grasp of this kind of politician instinct in front of anyone.
However, hearing Marcy's compliment, Xue Hua couldn't help but pouted lightly.
As the saying goes, "courtesy must be asked for by others", this Minister of War put his figure so low, I am afraid that he has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and the picture is not small!
Sure enough, seeing that Xue Hua did not answer, Marcy immediately told Xue Hua his intention as if he was rushing for time.
