Chapter 239: The mighty cannot be breached
·
Yuan Huang instantly understood, and Nocton was the only one in the five-person group who did not intend to get anything by his side, but to leave after getting something.
Used as a springboard?
Hearing such a wish, I really don't know whether to be angry or not, but because Yuan Huang has never really trusted the five, he doesn't seem to be disappointed. After all, the original employment relationship promised that you could leave after working for a certain period of time, but it didn't seem to be a betrayal to disclose some information to the newspaper in exchange for a future.
If you only need a loyal archmage with boundless power to show off your power in a small newspaper, it is easy to solve the problem of loyalty by stuffing a staff member into it. Thinking like this, Yuan Huang agreed.
But Nocton looked slightly uneasy.
Why?
Whatever.
It's a pity not to hear Gran's wishes. Yuan Huang flicked his cloak and set off for the teleportation array, beckoning to Nocton and asking him to follow, "Let's go visit the Star Dynasty Newspaper Office now." Others went to collect fuel as soon as possible, and the holiday was over. ”
Four people dispersed, and one followed.
"After you join the newspaper, you can only work part-time, and you can't stop my part-time job here for the time being." Yuan Huang said to Nocton behind him without looking back, and suddenly changed his words, "It's not that I think you are indispensable, and there are too many people to replace you." I remembered that I originally planned to go to the newspaper office because I was going to brush up my favor, and it was too stupid to hurt people at the exit, "Although you are a very good talent, I can't leave you mainly because you know too many secrets about me." Thinking about it deeply, he made a newspaper company awkward to follow him, and said, "It's okay if you really leave." ”
Nocton scratched his head: "My lord, I didn't understand......"
I don't even understand.
Yuan Huang is ready to take one step at a time.
Make your way through the teleportation station to a village to the southeast. This is Nocton's hometown, because there is a Star Dynasty newspaper that is not Wang Li, but it is important in the whole continent, and it is adjacent to the base camp of the Forerunner merchant group, and its prosperity is also in the front row of all villages.
Blue bricks, red tiles.
Walking on the street, there are three points that make Yuanhuang feel different from other places. First, the probability of passers-by recognizing him at a glance is almost 100 percent, and even four or five-year-old children point to him and call the name of the rain culvert; Second, the probability of passers-by saluting him is very low, if they recognize him, about seventy or eighty percent of the people in the royal city or town will salute, but only two percent here; Third, in addition to respect and fear, the rest of the place in Pingsuri is fearful, but the passers-by here all seem to be staring at rare birds and beasts.
Yuan Huang looked at Nocton beside him and gestured to what the hell was this? The latter just shrugged.
It is worthy of being the place where the largest newspaper office is located, and many people are holding newspapers as far as the eye can see, and the closer this situation is to the Star Dynasty newspaper office, the more obvious it is. Especially when he came to the front of the newspaper office, those passers-by held up the newspaper and looked him up and down.
This...... How is it a bit like comparing the look of a wanted warrant?
"What is written? Show me! ”
Yuan Huang snatched the newspaper from the passerby's hand, and was so angry by the headline on the front page that he couldn't say anything for half a second - "The mystery of the flat chest of the Heavenly Mage! The beauty of the celestial realm is witnessed by many people, but in fact, she is relying on this face that even women admire, and she eats it all in both directions! After seducing the second prince, another insider revealed that he had long been in love with the crown prince of the Fire Clan and the daughter of the Huidi business group!"
Smack, slamming the newspaper to the ground.
He picked it up again and tore it to pieces.
Seeing this, Nocton hurriedly shifted his attention, and pointed not far ahead to introduce that this building with a stone spire was the main shop of the Star Dynasty Newspaper Office, the tall wooden warehouse next to it was the storehouse of the newspaper office, and the long bungalow with iron plates on the other side was the newspaper printing room.
Yuan Huang suddenly wanted to test whether the air pressure rifle could blow the five-story newspaper office in front of him into the sky.
Just as he was about to draw his gun, but Nocton tried to dissuade him, a voice suddenly came from the door of the newspaper office, which was quite provocative: "Killing? All right? Come on! Front! Headlines! ”
The person who came was a middle-aged man with a very capable aura, and he must be the management of the newspaper. Behind him was Mr. Yuki. Not only that, but there were nearly ten staff members with dicks in their hands—notebooks, modified imaging magic crystals, and rarely used communication staffs—staring at Yuan Huang.
Seriously, Yuan Huang was suddenly shocked for a moment. Although it seems that these people are powerless, and they don't look like mages, they are extraordinarily imposing.
According to the usual routine, the other party dared to drag it like this, and Yuan Huang would kill one person first, but this time he hesitated inexplicably.
"My lord, this is the president of the Star Dynasty Newspaper."
"What are they going to do with that?"
Nocton explained.
All the people in the Star Dynasty Newspaper from top to bottom have a tendency to resist the top, and they are proud to be brave against those in power, and they are regarded as heroes. In addition to nervousness syndrome, Noxton's repeated interview failures are also due to this. There are historical reasons for the excesses that are said to be taken in defense of freedom of expression.
Yuan Huang could not understand this kind of thinking. From the bottom of his heart, he respects people of great status and never dares to underestimate them. Power is an ethereal and powerful thing, as awe-inspiring as magic. If he hadn't feared those in power, he wouldn't have lied to cover up his identity from the beginning.
Yuan Huang stared sideways at the president with a bullish face, and asked Nocton in a low voice: "I really don't understand." What will happen if I kill this president here? ”
"Uh."
Nocton was asked, completely unaware that Yuan Huang had such a simple and crude idea just after coming here.
"I guess...... You'll be immediately reported as a mad madman, dangerously dangerous, and you'll be in the newspapers of tomorrow, all over the continent. Nocton's heart was beating wildly, knowing that a single wrong word would lead to a bloodbath in the newspaper, so he chose his words carefully, "Your home and that of your three husbands will be besieged by the radical people influenced by the newspaper, and they will even carry torches, especially Mr. Jozhe, who is probably the most dangerous." The royal family cares most about this kind of scandal, and is unwilling to confront the people, and the second prince or even the king may avoid you. Lord Hongyang Minbo will also receive your notoriety and will struggle on the road to becoming king. Tonight, your realm is likely to start a revolt in an attempt to overthrow the rule of the tyrannical nobility. ”
…… Ha?
Just because of a newspaper?
Yuan Huang couldn't help but raise his forehead and ponder, maybe Nocton was not alarmist, because he was initially feared, and because of the problem of the newspaper, he became a "terrible hero" overnight, half of the people feared him and half respected him.
Seeing that Yuanhuang was silent for a long time, the president said aggressively: "Please go back if you have nothing to do, we don't welcome you here." ”
Tut.
For the first time, Yuan Huang encountered a situation that violence could not solve, and planned to go back first to think about it in the long run.
Unexpectedly, the president added: "I knew you would come today." ”
