Pat, since your guests have arrived, there is nothing for you to do here, so please step down. Just as Pat was in a dilemma, Norton's voice came from behind Killian and the others.

When everyone looked back, they realized that Norton and the big fat man Rospear had come in the same carriage.

"I didn't expect the Imperial Military Department to really treat them differently, the same guests, one asked the commander of the Sea Dragon Legion to pick it up in person, and the other not only had to come by himself, but also had to be stopped outside the door for an inspection. Killian said in a strange way. He immediately recognized Rouspier as the big fat man who was making things difficult for him on the black market. After all, looking at the entire imperial capital, it is difficult to find a second fat man with such a size.

"Master Killian is really joking, I was just invited by Mr. Rospear to visit the Royal Society of Pharmacists, and I just happened to come back with me. Norton smiled gracefully, for in his opinion Killian was still a child who had not grown up, and was not guilty of being as knowledgeable as him.

"When did the Royal Apothecary Society change its name to the Royal Circus?

"The Royal Apothecary Guild is ready to cooperate more deeply with the Imperial Military Department, otherwise the Family Teacher would not have hosted a banquet for Mr. Alfie at the Military Department. Rospear glanced at Sean, he always felt that this extremely active guy had a sense of déjà vu, but unfortunately he didn't have as powerful an intelligence system as Robert V, he couldn't see through the cover of the black market cloak, and he didn't know that he had clashed with Killian and the others in the black market before.

"Don't stand at the door and talk, Master Madison can't wait, why don't we go to the banquet hall and have a drink?" Norton saw that the two sides were full of gunpowder as soon as they met, and hurriedly said round. In the final analysis, today's key figure is still Master Madison, and there is no need to engage in a senseless battle of words with these juniors.

"General Norton......" Pat saw that Norton was going to introduce everyone into the military headquarters, and hurriedly tried to stop it. He was ordered to allow only Alfie and Rouspier to attend the "banquet".

"It doesn't matter, I'll explain this to the Chief of Staff. Norton snapped his hand and interrupted Pat's words. He had been watching a good show for a long time in the back just now, and he knew that the four guys in front of him had made up their minds to advance and retreat together, and it would not be beautiful to insist on separating them now. Besides, they're just four magic apprentices, and they can't make any waves in the military department.

Pat glanced at Norton, didn't say anything, gave a military salute, let everyone through the gate, and hurried into the military headquarters.

"Guys, this way, please. Norton took advantage of the situation to greet the guests, motioned for everyone to board the carriage, and led everyone to the depths of the military headquarters.

The Imperial Military Department occupies a full quarter of the Imperial Capital, and in terms of area it even exceeds the Imperial Palace, St. Jessica's Cathedral, and the Academy of Magic combined. It was nearly half an hour's journey from the gate to the place where Master Madison had set up the banquet, even if there was a carriage to travel on his behalf.

"The Imperial Military Department really lives up to its reputation, on the surface it seems to be calm, but the interior is full of murderous opportunities. Sean lifted the corner of the carriage curtain and looked at the neatly arranged barracks outside, and let out a burst of amazement.

"The empire is established by force, and the holy family of the military department has been prosperous for so many years, especially after His Majesty Rey III succeeded to the throne, so the imperial military department will gradually grow into a behemoth, even if there is no strong person in the holy realm, it is still the most powerful force in the entire empire except for the imperial family, and even the branch of the Holy See cannot be compared. Killian sighed, presumably this is also a piece of the old prime minister's heart.

Any time Wuxun is too strong, it is not a good thing for a country, it is good to have an iron-fisted emperor in charge, once the emperor is weak and incompetent, the possibility of a military mutiny will expand indefinitely. In order to avoid the emperor's suspicion, Imperial Marshal Sebastian still chose to stay away from the growing military headquarters for a long time.

The old prime minister has long seen this hidden danger and has been committed to weakening the power of the imperial military department, but unfortunately, with the secret support of Rey III, the old prime minister has worked out all kinds of countermeasures with little effect, and the imperial military department has become stronger and stronger.

Fortunately, Imperial Marshal Sebastian does have something extraordinary, even if he is not in the imperial capital, the Imperial Military Department is still strictly disciplined, maintains efficient operation, and does not slack off in the slightest. Of course, this is also inseparable from the great efforts made behind the back of the Chief of the Imperial General Staff, Marquis Douglas.

"Judging by the way the Imperial Army acted after the Cataclysm, it seems that it could not do such a stupid thing as coercing Master Madison. The more Sean learned about the military department, the more he felt that there must be something else behind this matter.

"Perhaps, as we guessed, the military department was in some trouble and urgently needed a large number of medicines, so it was forced to make this decision. If even Master Madison can't solve this problem, I'm afraid that no one in the entire continent will be able to solve it. Killian analyzed.

"So they set their sights on Alfie's inventory. Sean glanced at Alfie, who didn't know anything about the people, with a look of pity on his face, and it was not easy to be targeted by a behemoth like the Imperial Military Department.

"I hope the military department won't embarrass Alfie too much, this guy is really unlucky. It's like this now, and I can't help but continue tossing. Killian looked at Alfie sympathetically, "Maybe it's a blessing for him to stay in such a coma. ”

"His luck is our misfortune, let's think about how to deal with Marquis Douglas for a while. I've heard he's a well-known smiling tiger in the Empire. Sean tucked Alfie's quilt and reminded him.

"I don't think he's going to be too hard for me as a junior, right?" said Killian. The previous open and secret fight between him and Charles was just a joke between children in the eyes of the older generation, and no one really took it seriously. But now when facing Marquis Douglas, who is the same rank as Lao Zai, Killian is nervous for no reason.

"Don't worry too much, Master Madison should be on our side anyway. Since the Marquis of Douglas has something to ask of us, he will not go too far. By the way, are you sure that the news you gave to the Prime Minister has been handed over to him?" Sean said with relief.

"My father has already given me an affirmative answer, and he is ready. After mentioning the old prime minister, Killian gradually calmed down, and the old prime minister who had been in the officialdom of the empire for a hundred years gave him infinite confidence and courage like a needle in the sea.

Thinking about it, I used to be really ridiculous, always thinking that I had grown strong enough to look down on my father's actions, but when it came to the end, I found that if I lost this big tree that sheltered me from the wind and rain, I didn't have enough strength to fight the storm on my own......
