Chapter 294: A Visitor from the General's Mansion
This was the first time Lynsey had come to Abomato, known as the most powerful empire on the Yanin continent.
Many years ago, in that collective melee of the whole continent, Abomato stood out and had the last laugh, becoming the same as a few countries such as the Noqi Empire, which could survive the war, and in the years that followed, it developed rapidly, and its strength has been overwhelming the Noqi Empire.
Therefore, now that Linxi is standing on the land of Abomato, he can naturally see the strength and prosperity of Abomato from even the most basic scenes of daily life.
Apomato, whose population is half as large as Noki, is undoubtedly more prosperous commercially, and its economic prosperity is not far behind that of Noki, which is more stable all year round.
This, along the way, makes the streets, houses, and clothing of the inhabitants of Abomato exude a sense of prosperity, and of course, this must also take into account the city where Lynsey is now located.
The city is called the city of Apomato.
Of course, there is another more general name.
Imperial.
Everywhere you see, there are towering and tall, luxurious and atmospheric Zhou Zheng buildings, scattered, graceful and generous, the same as Nuoqi City, the only difference is that there are more buildings with the same characteristics in the imperial city.
Church.
Abomato was one of the five countries on the continent of Yanin, with the exception of Veron, the empire that allowed clergy to preach.
Therefore, the idea of eternal life by believing in God and religion and being able to enter heaven in peace after death was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and people consciously built a unified building with white and upturned eaves for the sermon - the church, for the convenience of the clergy and for their own convenience.
It is said that there is a fixed day every week, and faithful believers will go to church together as a family to listen to hymns, sing hymns, listen to the teachings of the priests, the representatives of God's will for the world, feel the gifts brought to them by the week's life, reflect on the sins they have committed during the week, and convey their most sincere repentance to God through the priests, in order to obtain forgiveness and solace in both the spirit and the body.
Naturally, Lynsey doesn't go to church.
Looking at the few white-clothed priests who came out of the largest church in the imperial city, he was very curious: What kind of strength did the red-clothed priests who managed these white-clothed priests have? Above them, how many unborn masters were there in the hidden institutions within the Holy See?
Solemn, solemn, seemingly sacrosanct, awe-inspiring and upright, this is the church.
People passing by or coming out of the church are all calm and respectful, and they take the church very seriously.
It can be said that in terms of loyalty, these believers are already loyal to the Holy See, just like the emperor's personal guard.
"It seems that the strength of the Holy See is indeed huge. After a few glances at the white cathedral, Lynsey muttered to herself, and then walked through the bustling street to find a small shop in a less prominent location to lodge with.
The shop is a mix of small shops, but it is easy to hear all kinds of information about Abomato from all kinds of travelers.
If you want to quickly and generally understand the social composition and customs of Apomato, choosing this method is undoubtedly labor-saving and cost-effective.
Although there is still a pile of gold coins left in the storage ring by his father Bird, Linsey takes the attitude of spending as little as he can.
In order to see Uncle Nicholas, it is very necessary to prepare in advance.
After listening to such an unobtrusive listening for a week, coupled with on-the-spot observations, Lin Xi finally decided to go to the Dragon General's Mansion, which was located under the moat of the Imperial City.
The Dragon General's Mansion is where his uncle Nicholas currently lives.
After "taking refuge" in Apomato, Nicholas first helped to domesticate the dragon that had not yet shed its barbaric spirit as a lieutenant general, and then found an important position in the Dragon Knights, and also achieved the position of a general.
Even the ordinary people of Abomato have more or less learned about the deeds of this dragon general, and heard that he has a very personal relationship with the current first general of the empire, General Kaiser, and usually does not like to socialize, and does not form gangs in the imperial officialdom, so he seems to be a little withdrawn and cold.
When she heard these comments, Lynsey couldn't help but smile.
Is it withdrawn?
The uncle of the year was known for his fiery temper in the Northern Army.
I don't like to talk and don't like to socialize, maybe it's the performance of a defector, but maybe it's because my uncle is lonely?
After spending nearly a week carefully observing the general's mansion, Lin Xi finally jumped into the general's mansion lightly on a dark and windy night, wearing a night suit.
After days of observation, time was not in vain, and Linsey soon found the room where his uncle slept from the rooms where the doors were closed and the lights were blind.
The moonlight was dim, the shadows of the trees were heavy, and when the guards on duty turned around, Lin Xi gently pushed the door open.
The furnishings inside are too simple.
A bed, a chair, a round table, a few wine cups and teacups, a pot of tea and a pot of spirits, seemed to make up the whole content of the resting place of the dignified dragon general.
"What people!"
In the barely visible room, a clear drink suddenly sounded, and at the same time, a strong wind accompanied by a large calloused hand waved forward, and went straight to the door of Lin Xi.
"It's me, uncle!"
Lynsey whispered in response, and at the same time lowered her body, slid her knees bent over the round table, and appeared in front of the bed.
It was still a tiger's back, and his face had not changed, and as soon as they met, Lin Xi couldn't help but have a sour nose and almost burst into tears.
Nicholas was stunned for a moment, but it only lasted for a very short time, and then he slapped his raised big hand vigorously on the round table in front of him, and said loudly: "Xiaoxiao dares to assassinate me, take your life!"
"Bang!"
The mahogany round table was immediately torn apart by Nicholas' strong slap. The cups and bottles on the table suddenly fell to the ground and shattered.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Nicholas tried his best to control his excitement and lowered his voice: "Hurry up, good Xi'er, there is someone watching here." ”
Lin Xi lost his mind for a while, but when he heard his uncle's words and saw the face full of love, he quickly recovered, and immediately drew out his giant sword, but he did not use his fighting spirit, and only used pure strength to smash the chair in front of him, and shouted loudly: "Traitor, I will kill you today, so that I can carry your head back to comfort the soul of the army!"
"Uncle!" In the interval, Lin Xi was full of emotion and said two words, but he couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, and tears had already flowed out.
Nicholas only felt that his heart was hot, and took the opportunity to toss the room again, and the commotion became louder again, and he hurriedly whispered: "Xi'er, go quickly, trust uncle, if you can, return to the army." ”
"Trying to kill me, it's wishful thinking! Someone!" Nicholas shouted at the door.
The red eyes took one last look at his uncle, Lin Xi understood, and forcibly controlled his voice, making his voice still sound so angry: "I can't kill you today, there will be a next time!"
"Bang!"
A large hole was smashed into the window, and Lin Xi jumped into the courtyard, and under the cover of the night and black clothes, he jumped over the fence and quickly disappeared.
At the same time, in the room, Nicholas shattered his right sleeve with his fighting spirit, and his wrist deliberately cut a scar on the broken porcelain on the ground, which was used as a sword wound, so he pretended to be angry, pulled the door hard, and shouted: "Hurry up and catch the assassin!"
The Dragon General's mansion suddenly fell into a state of chaos.
A middle-aged man dressed as a house guard took the opportunity to go out of the courtyard, and Nicholas looked at it, covering his arms without saying anything.
"My lord, my subordinates just saw that it was indeed a sneak attack on General Nicholas, but it was late at night, and I had already fallen asleep, so I didn't have time to capture the assassin, please forgive me. ”
Under a big locust tree on the street, a straight and sturdy man waved his hand, indicating that this matter had nothing to do with the middle-aged man, and after the middle-aged man left, he said to himself: "It seems that Nicholas is indeed intolerant of Nicholas, but this also shows General Nicholas's loyalty to my Abomato, hehe, I think my Kessel's vision has always been not weak, and this time it was not wrong." ”
Not far away, behind another locust tree, Lin Xi, who was dressed in black, heard these words clearly, frowned and left quietly.
In the Dragon General's Mansion, after half an hour of carpet searching, no news of the Assassins was found, and after receiving the condolences from Kaiser, the "wounded" Nicholas temporarily moved to another room to rest.
"Lin Xi has really grown taller and stronger, and his strength should be not bad, hehe, that's good, the eldest brother and sister-in-law will be very pleased if they know it. ”
In the darkness, Nicholas, who was lying on his side on the bed, whispered to himself, his big eyes full of light, like the light of hope.
