Chapter 340: Let's talk first, and then we'll "hand" you later.
Holy capital.
As the Chinese New Year approaches, even if they live in this solemn religious city, ordinary civilians have an excited look on their faces unconsciously.
Since this is true even for ordinary civilians, let alone the nobles of the Holy Empire.
Despite the turmoil of the year, the Holy Empire was hardly affected by any war. The only time the highest alert was because I didn't know which thief with great powers stole all the food stocks of the Holy Empire coalition army in one night, and finally the military headquarters had to be on national alert and set up layers of checkpoints to check.
Looking at the disappointed looks of the last soldiers, and the fact that some officers were dismissed and clicked in large numbers. Not surprisingly, the grain was never recovered until the end.
Not long ago, the arrival of the Bright God Clan made the residents of the entire Holy Capital extremely excited, and also made the nobles of the Holy Capital very stressed.
Fortunately, the temple is responsible for all security issues, otherwise if the alien spies who were exposed in the end blew themselves up in their own hands, it is estimated that many nobles will be implicated because of this.
Of course, watching the army of the Holy Empire and the Protoss angels surrounded by the temple leave, the happiest person is the former general of the Holy Empire, the current magistrate of the Holy Capital.
Strictly speaking, after the last power purge, the power of this Holy Empire general who was Ming Zhe protected himself can be regarded as shrinking a lot, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a plummet.
But the general of the Holy Empire is very open-minded.
After all, for him, after enjoying enough rights and glory and wealth, as long as his wife and his baby daughter are intact, it is more important than anything else to spend the rest of his life peacefully.
Didn't you see what happened to those who were going to jump up and down in the all-out purge before the Holy Empire?
A full click can be regarded as light!
Although the attitude of this general to protect himself made the chief priest of light, well, the guy who is now the emperor of light very unhappy, but in order to appease the centrists, as well as to show his magnanimity. The general was only transferred to a less important position, and the family wealth remained untouched.
As a result, the sheriff of the Holy Capital is not very powerful. However, the connections and wealth accumulated before made him impossible for the nobles of the entire Holy Capital to underestimate him.
Even sometimes, in order for some things that are not well known to pass through, from time to time some people who are not familiar will send all kinds of "gifts".
"Father, you're back." The sheriff's daughter, Karina, unfastened her father's cloak. "The hot soup is ready."
"My baby girl. Do you have a good class today? The sheriff looked at his daughter fondly.
"Don't mention it, those newly promoted noble children are uneducated, and they are all soft-footed shrimp with excessive indulgence, and they are all beaten down by me in the end." Karina shook her fist to show that she was strong.
"My daughter, when will you bring a male aristocratic talent to me and let me see it?" The sheriff, who pinched his daughter's nose, said helplessly.
"Hmph, there is no one in the Holy Capital who can look at it now." Rolling her eyes, Karina made sure that there was no one around, and carefully snuggled into her father's arms. "Father, do you know where Prince West has gone?"
"Don't even think about it!" The father looked at his daughter with a serious expression. "He's a heretic now. It's the guy who made the Bright Protoss' must-kill list, forget about him, it's impossible for you. ”
"I'm just asking, what kind of murder is it to me!" Not to be outdone, Karina took the hot soup she had made for her father. He walked away without looking back.
"Where's my dinner, baby girl?" Seeing Karina slam the door of the restaurant shut, the sheriff's father shouted helplessly.
"There are beautiful women delivered to the door, what kind of food are you eating!" Inside the gate, Karina's faint voice could be heard. "Our Chancellor of the Exchequer has sent another beautiful woman who is said to be very capable of giving birth to children, so that my poor father can leave his bloodline, which is very 'sincere'!"
"Ma'am. Open the door! The sheriff screamed helplessly at the thick wooden door.
"Alas, I have lived with my husband for sixteen years, and I have left no other blood except Karina, and my husband has long wanted to divorce me to find other women." In the restaurant, the voice of his wife's resentment came from the restaurant.
Forthwith. The sound of his wife's laughter and scolding came from the restaurant.
"Karina, how dare you imitate my voice and say such things to your father!"
"Mother, I don't dare!"
Although the sound of his wife and daughter fighting kept coming from the Tibetan hall, the door of the restaurant was still closed, as if he had forgotten that the head of the family was standing outside.
The poor head of the family shook his head and walked to his room.
According to his butler, there was a beautiful woman waiting for him from the Minister of Finance.
His wife is definitely not a jealous woman. Just like his wife, who believes in himself, his wife absolutely believes in him and will never think that he will mess around. Since the lady and daughter kept the evening time to themselves, it proved that she had a deep meaning of her own.
At most, there is only one more woman in the mansion of the magistrate of the Holy Capital, is he afraid of anything?
It's not that you can't afford it, is it?
Slippery!
The door to the sheriff's room opened, and a woman of good looks was sitting on her bed with her eyes closed.
"This young lady, I wonder if we can talk?" The sheriff, who was nearly forty years old, sat beside the woman's voice in a gentlemanly manner.
"This young lady?" Curious that the woman didn't react, the woman suddenly fell to the side and lay unconscious on the sheriff's bed.
A young girl appeared in the sheriff's room.
"Who are you!" The sheriff's sword, who pulled out the short sword on the wall with his backhand, pointed directly at the girl who suddenly appeared in the house, and shouted loudly
"Excuse me." Removing my hood, I looked at the former Holy Empire general in front of me. "Let's talk about the 'exchange' between you later, I'm here to talk to you."
"Rebellion, heresy!" After seeing the color of my hair, the sheriff in front of me gasped. "You're here to attack the Holy Capital?!"
"Relax, I've put a magical barrier around us, and no one will know about the conversation between us." I pulled a random chair and sat down, and I said slowly. "You don't have to look righteous and awe-inspiring."
"I don't know what the leader of the alien race has to talk to me about as a poor sheriff." After glancing at the woman on the bed, the sheriff stared at me deadly.
"Don't worry, she won't hear anything now." Glancing at the girl prepared by the Chancellor of Finance on the bed, I said casually. "I'm here just to tell you that West is doing things for us right now."
"So what, the former royal family is long gone, and West has become a heretic." The dagger raised by the sheriff in front of him did not waver in the slightest. "Although I swear allegiance to the royal family, my life is more important!"
"Oh, but it won't be long before the Holy Spirit Empire will be defeated like the Shadow Empire, and you, Sheriff West, won't necessarily let you go. Your daughter's name is Karina, right? ”
"Is this how you heretics threaten others to die for you?" The uncle in front of me looked at me with disdain.
"Usually I point a knife at someone's back and ask him to do something for me." I shook my head. "If it weren't for West, I think rebuilding would be far more convenient than shuffling."
"What do you want me to do?" The uncle in front of him seemed to have a little more in his eyes.
"Just do your job, and at some point, we don't want to see the Holy Empire in chaos, that's it." I shrugged.
"It's as simple as that?" The sheriff looked incredulous.
"It's that simple!" I nodded.
"You know, to do things for you is to lose your head!" The sheriff looked me with a hard look.
"If we fail, you can just treat it as if I didn't come, and there's nothing to lose to you." I glared back disdainfully.
"I have one condition!" The sheriff's uncle wrote in the air.
"No problem, that's it." I pulled out a stack of papers and began to write the improvised agreement.
"That's it, bye-bye."
After putting away the agreement that was not at the critical time that had been signed and was not usually useful, I opened the dimensional door and prepared for the next location ahead
Looking at the figure that had disappeared, and then at the unconscious woman sent by the Chancellor of Finance, the sheriff nodded knowingly.
