Chapter 37: The Book of the Sages
The people of St. Yorktown, just like St. Yorktown itself, exude an old, comfortable, and somewhat dilapidated feeling, the people on the streets are lazy, and there doesn't seem to be much to make them interested, in the face of Gu Feicang's pedestrians, no one on the road looks at them more, everything seems to be commonplace.
Moreover, after entering St. Yorktown, Gu Feicang found that the townspeople here were said to be kind, but it was better to say that they were accustomed to being kind, and in the face of the new entrants, they almost mechanically pointed out that they could live and get food for free, and that outside the town clubhouse where the mayor was located, he didn't pay more attention to them.
For a while, Gu Feicang was a little skeptical that he had entered a world of robots, but after seeing that this group of people was lazy, it was more just because they saw too many people of all kinds, a little less curiosity and novelty, and their eyes were still very peaceful, so he didn't think much about it, and went to the town club with a group of people, and after arranging the homeless people and halberd archers, Gu Feicang followed Leslie and went to the mayor's office together.
Standing in front of the door of the mayor's office, Leslie stepped forward and knocked on the door, and then heard a loud voice from inside the door, "Come in." ”
This voice was as loud as a trumpet, Gu Feicang raised his eyebrows, glanced at Leslie, and the two pushed open the door and walked in.
I saw a dilapidated desk in the old office, the dim magic lamp emitted a faint light, an old man with an unkind face sat on a chair, the light cast a shadow on his face, making his whole person look even more gloomy, this is the current mayor of St. York's town, Simon.
I saw his gaze sweep over the two of them, and then snorted softly, "A respected magician, a powerful fighter, don't you know what happened when you came to our shabby town?
Hearing this piercing voice, Gu Feicang's brows suddenly furrowed, and a trace of anger surged up on Leslie's face, and he shouted, "What did you say?"
"Why? Do you want to do it to me? Don't forget, I'm the mayor of St. York, and if you hurt me, you'll be wanted by the entire Empire, that's the rule set by the High Sage. In the face of Leslie's ferocity, the gloomy mayor showed disdain and did not look afraid at all.
However, he does have the right to be fearless, indeed, St. Yorktown made a covenant because of the saint-level powerhouse back then, in the case that the mayor did not violate the law, whoever harmed or killed the mayor would face the wanted of the entire human world, although the mayor in front of him had a bad attitude, but as long as he did not break the law and did not substantially offend the two people, Gu Feicang and the two really couldn't do anything to him.
Seeing this, Gu Feicang's face became even more difficult to look at, he glared at the mayor fiercely, and said in the same blunt words: "Mayor Simon, I want to settle in St. York Town, please go through the formalities for me, this is your duty as the mayor of the town, isn't it?" As he spoke, Gu Feicang raised the staff in his hand, only to see that the magic crystal on the staff began to bloom with brilliant brilliance, and the threat was overflowing.
Just as St. Yorktown has the power to protect the mayor, there are also constraints, that is, he can't give dereliction of duty, Gu Feicang's request meets the regulations, he can't refuse, otherwise, Gu Feicang can teach him a lesson in the name of dereliction of duty, and there will be no problems.
Hearing this, Simon's old face suddenly darkened, he snorted coldly, picked up a book from the table, put it in front of Gu Feicang's eyes, and said coldly: "Come, prove to the Book of Sages that you have the value to stay in St. Yorktown, if not, in a month, get me out of St. Yorktown." ”
Ignoring Simon's unkind face, Gu Feicang took a step forward, walked to the Book of the Sage, the props left by the legendary saint-level powerhouse, stretched out his hand and put it on the Book of the Sage, and said in a deep voice: "I have the power to protect St. Yorktown, and I ask to stay in St. Yorktown." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a red glow bloom on the Book of Sages, and a smile suddenly appeared on Simon's gloomy face, making his shriveled face even more hateful.
"Hey, hey, I'm sorry, your worth isn't what St. Yorktown needs, boy, in a month's time, you'll be able to get out. ”
"How so? Is it because my strength is not enough? Uncle Leslie, you can try. Looking at this scene, Gu Feicang really couldn't believe that the Book of Sages actually denied his own value.
Seeing this, Leslie also frowned, and took a step forward to put his hand on the Book of the Sage, but Simon reached out and put the Book of the Sage back.
"What are you doing, trying to derelict yourself?" Seeing this, Leslie's face sank, and his hand was already on the hilt of his sword.
"Hmph, don't be in a hurry to threaten me first, I just want to say that you don't waste your efforts, you see, St. Yorktown needs protection power? Here, you can only give some homeless people a foothold and shallow food, even robbers will not come to rob it, there is no force to hurt, what to do to protect the force, you are not as useful as a milkman and a farmer for St. Yorktown, otherwise, St. Yorktown doesn't know how many magicians and warriors it has, don't believe it, you can try." With that, Simon handed the Book of the Sage to Leslie again, as if you were trying the same way.
Hearing this, Gu Feicang and Leslie glanced at each other, they didn't expect it to be like this, looking at the Book of Sages in front of them, the two also knew that although Simon had a bad attitude, he was subject to the law and would not come within the scope of the mayor's duties, so he didn't need to try to know that Leslie would also be judged to be worthless.
A magic apprentice, a high-level fighter, but was judged to be worthless, such a wonderful situation, I am afraid it will only appear in places like St. Yorktown, at this time, Gu Feicang finally knew, why St. Yorktown has not been able to develop for so many years, it is not that no one came, but because the judgment of the value of his team is not as ordinary people think, as if, if there is no outside attack on St. Yorktown, it will refuse to protect the force, it is not as valuable as a milk worker and a farmer.
Originally, he was full of confidence in staying in St. York Zhenhai, but now, Gu Feicang didn't know what to do.
