Chapter 397: Dilemma
PS: Today's second shift, tomorrow's fourth shift. Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a recommendation, ask for a collection.
Over the Lion Plains.
As an unfamiliar armed airship approached, Lionheart's guards had reacted, and a team of six Force Warriors transformed into giant eagles and flew towards the airship.
At the same time that the eagle took off, Rollin had already learned from the guard Juta that something might be going on in Lionheart, and he quickly walked over to Eru who was looking out of the window and pulled him out of the window.
"Young master, the situation is unclear, you'd better not show up yet." Rollin Road. The Giant Eagle's eyesight has reached the point of perversion, which is the top one in the Starlet continent, and it can be ranked in the top ten in the entire world Force battle body.
"But the guards in the city have already come, what should I do?" Eru also sensed the danger, he was very familiar with this kind of family struggle, and knew that at such times, if one did not do well, he, the heir of the family who had returned from afar, could die in an unknown way.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it. Don't show your face, Juta. Luo Lin instructed, and at the same time said to Wei Qi beside the two: "Let's go, you and I go to the deck." β
Instead of rushing to agree, Vizzie looked at Eru first, who looked at Rollin and waited for him to explain.
"No one has ever seen me, and I'm a stranger to Lionheart. I'm going to have the airship fit into a merchant ship hired by the Chatan Chamber of Commerce. Weizi was originally from the Chamber of Commerce, and she was the best person to play the role of the airship master. I'll be her bodyguard, and she'll deal with the Eagle warriors who come to check. How's it going, do you have questions, Miss Weizi? Rollin asked.
Vizzie shook her head, "I'm fine." The lords of the main cities were very welcoming to the merchants. Master. I'll go. No one will suspect that you are on board anymore. β
"Good. Then be careful. Eru instructed, and he was about to go into the cabin with Juta to hide, but was stopped by Luo Lin: "Young master, the other party will definitely check the cabin, the cabin is not safe, I will build yΓ¬ You and Juta change into the clothes of the chamber of commerce, and clean up in the cabin, no one will pay attention to you." β
"Okay." This time I'm out on the field. Eru has also experienced life and death several times, and he has long lost the hypocrisy of a noble son, and immediately did what Rollin said.
Here, Wei Qi was in front, and Rollin followed him to the airship deck, and Rollin arranged all the way, facing everyone on the airship. When they got to the deck, the Chamber of Commerce warriors also arrived, all pretending to be on the airship.
After a while, the giant eagle warriors of Lionheart City had arrived near the airship. The largest of these giant eagles has a wingspan of about thirteen meters, the same as that of Juta. It's also in its infancy, and it's not much stronger than the Guardian Tower.
It's not because the Guardian's talent is low, it's because of the Force Seed.
Along the way, Rollin also learned about these things, according to the nobles' letter to the guards, they would give Force seeds of different strengths, but there was also an upper limit, and the best Force seeds given to the guards would only allow one guard's Force body to grow into youth at most. If you want to really grow to the prime of life, unless the talent is strong enough to go against the sky, it is basically an impossible task.
This is done to prevent the gram from going up.
"Lionheart has decreed that foreign armed airships cannot approach the city walls for five thousand meters. I order you to leave or land on the spot. The largest eagle spoke.
The armed airship has powerful long-range magic cannons, enough to break through the city walls, and the airship also has all kinds of melee attack and defense magic, which is quite a war fortress, and no city lord will let this thing get close to his walls.
Wei Qi stepped forward unhurriedly, first identifying herself, and she shouted, "I am Wei Qi, the head of the North Valley Trading House, and this airship is a frigate that I have hired. We want to go into town and do some jewelry. β
Hearing that it was a merchant from the Chamber of Commerce, the tone of the Giant Eagle Warrior suddenly improved a lot: "Then please lower the airship and see the supply station on the plain?" That's your docking point, and there's a special little airship to take you into town for free. Of course, before the dock, we ask for a routine security check. β
"Absolutely." With a soft smile on Wei Qi's face, combined with her beautiful appearance and charming figure, the attitude of the giant eagle warriors was invisibly much better.
After the escort boarded the airship, they didn't take it seriously, wandering around the deck cabins, and found only five Force warriors, and some ordinary samurai. In the Starlet continent, it is not uncommon for the City Lord's Force Warriors to be hired, because there are always some city lords who are not good at running and rely on the commission of their own guards to adjust their days, so the guards don't ask much.
As for Eru, who was dressed as a handyman, these guards didn't even look at it. As for the Guardian Tower, it may be the cause of Force Induction. These giant eagle warriors looked at it a few more times, but they were urged a few times by Wei Qi in a coquettish tone, where had several giant eagle warriors seen this kind of battle, their bones were a few taels lighter, and they withdrew their attention.
After a turn, the captain of the Giant Eagle Squad smiled and said, "Miss Weizi, welcome to Lionheart. β
Wei Qi smiled and handed over a handful of jewels without any fireworks, and the captain quietly accepted it, and the smile on his face became even kinder.
Wei Qi was surprised and asked: "I saw the black heraldic banner on the city wall, why, did any big man pass away?" β
The captain's face was gloomy: "It's our city lord, his body has an old injury, and he didn't survive it, hey." But rest assured, the city lord left an indisputable will, and the young young master Elok took his place and became the new city lord. Now that the name has been decided, it will be the official enthronement ceremony in three days, and no one will compete with him for the inheritance, so Lionheart will be as stable as ever. β
"Oh, what a blessing in disguise." Vizzie sighed quietly, and then a strange look appeared on her face: "But as far as I know, the heir of Lionheart City is not that little man, isn't it Young Master Eru?" How is Ellock? β
The captain was not surprised that Vizzie knew about Eru, who made the little dwarf of Lionheart City famous, he shrugged his shoulders: "Young Master Eru is missing, no one knows where he is." It is said that he encountered robbers in the Misty Moon Continent. Killed. A city must have an heir. And I think Master Elok is the better candidate. Young Master Eru's body is too weak. All right. Don't ask, it's none of your business, you can go into town. β
With that, the group of Giant Eagle warriors left one person behind to supervise the airship's landing, while the others returned to Lionheart City.
By the time the armed airship landed successfully and the chain buckle hanging from the side of the ship was fastened with the huge steel buckle on the dock, the last of the Giant Eagle warriors also left. It was up to the people at the supply depot to receive the people on board.
The Chamber of Commerce warriors helped unload several large boxes of jewelry, calligraphy and painting collectibles on the airship, and then settled the rent with the Elienburg airship and the Force Warriors, and instead boarded the ordinary airship in Lionheart City and flew towards Lionheart City.
They are now merchants, and as long as they pay a certain fee, they don't have to worry about being troubled in Lionheart.
Throughout the process, Eru and GΓΌta were dressed in ordinary clothes, and they worked as handymen at the back of the team, following the makeshift caravan all the way to Lionheart. No one doubted their identity.
The process of entering the city was very smooth, and ordinary civilian airships carried everyone into Lionheart City. Just after stopping at the parking platform in the city, after everyone got off the airship, Eru whispered, "Go find my grandfather!" β
He already knew what was happening in the city, and his heart was angry and anxious, he knew that now in Lionheart City, he could only rely on his grandfather and two uncles.
Luo Lin shook his head: "Don't worry, the goal is too obvious now, let's find a hotel to stay in first." And then we quietly passed. β
Eru was in a state of extreme anxiety, he was a bit of a godless, and at this time he regarded Rollin as his last straw, and when he said this, he could only nod.
"Young master, what inn is closest to your grandfather's mansion?" Rollin asked softly.
"Iron Eagle Lodge. Two streets away is my grandfather's Black Rose Estate. β
"Then go to the Iron Eagle Hotel."
The group turned to the Iron Eagle Hotel, and along the way, they could see many black flags hung up because of the death of the old city lord, and the guards patrolling the street also wore a black smock, and many sentimental women occasionally wiped their tears, and seemed to feel sad about the death of the old city lord in their words.
Along the way, Eru bowed his head and looked silent. Occasionally, Rollin could hear one or two stifled sobs. He didn't say anything, and gently patted Eru on the shoulder as a sign of comfort. Along the way, he knew that Eru had great respect for his father and had a strong sense of admiration. It is estimated that in the entire city, he is one of the few people who is really sad about the death of the old city lord.
After a while, the three of Rollin, Eru and Juta, who had changed into ordinary merchant attire, rushed towards the Black Rose Manor.
The distance between the two streets was really not far, and after ten minutes, the three of them arrived at the ground.
Standing across the street, you can see that the gate of the manor is closed, and looking through the gap in the iron fence on the side of the manor, you can see the occasional figure walking inside, but you can clearly feel the oppressive atmosphere in it.
Something is very wrong.
Luo Lin took Eru back to the corner of the street, and then said, "Young master, for the sake of safety, don't come forward first, I'll go explore the way first." Now, if I go to visit, what's the best name? β
"When I went out, my grandfather was recuperating from his illness, and you went in the name of visiting the sick, as an attendant to my little aunt Miss Wendy Lou, who had gone out with my grandfather three years ago. My little aunt's full name is Sha'er. Wendy Lu. Grace. Gregory. Sha'er is my mother's name, and Grace is my aunt's mother's last name. No one but her family knew her full name, which could be used to verify her identity. At the critical moment, Eru's head appeared unusually clear.
"When I finally meet your grandfather, how am I going to identify myself?" Rollin asked.
Eru thought for a moment, took out a beautiful dagger and handed it to Lorraine: "This is a gift from my grandfather, you can show it to him or my grandmother, and they will know that I am coming." β
Luo Lin took the dagger and put it away carefully, and then said: "I'll go find out the situation, if the situation is not right, I will send a signal, you will leave here immediately, leave Lionheart City, and find another way." If the situation is normal, I will definitely go out of the iron gate with the servants to meet you, remember, if you don't see me come out, you must not show up, and do not follow them into the manor, understand? β
Eru nodded solemnly.
"Juta, do your best to protect the safety of the young master, can you give me this promise?" Rollin looked at the guard, the old city lord had appointed a new heir, this guard didn't actually have a reason to protect Eru, but now it could only rely on him, and Rollin believed that this guard could be relied on.
The guard Juta nodded solemnly: "I will use my life to protect the safety of the young master!" β
Luo Lin nodded, looked left and right, and then walked out of the corner of the street, walked to the door of the manor, and pressed the knocker on the iron door hard, and after waiting for a while, an old man came to open the door, and he saw Luo Lin wearing ordinary clothes outside the door, and suddenly felt a little unhappy: "Is the general's door knocking indiscriminately?" Do you want to be whipped! β
Rollin straightened up, not showing any humility, and he said in a solemn and low voice: "I am Miss Wendylu's attendant, and Miss Wendelou heard that the general is sick and asked me to come and visit him." The young lady said that there was a delay for a few days, but she would arrive in three days at the latest. β
"Miss Wendy Lu? Why should I believe you? The old man's face was a little better, but he was still full of suspicion.
"Madame's full name is Sha'er. Wendy Lu. Grace. Gregory. Grace is the surname of Miss's mother, and Sha'er is Miss's nickname. Rollin repeated the message Eru had given him.
This really worked, as soon as these words came out, the old porter was stunned, and after a while, his face showed a look of nostalgia, and he sighed long: "The master's wayward daughter is finally willing to go home, you come in." β
He opened the door. (To be continued......)
