Chapter 100: The Governor's Ball
Chapter 100: The Governor's Ball
Fortunately, the river is not very deep, with the support of Huigang, several people were not choked by the water, the weather at this time is warm, but the river wets the clothes, obviously not comfortable, before Alina and Fei'er blame, Huigang has already opened his mouth to solve their questions:
"Alina, a strange spice has been put on your clothes, I think those flying bats are searching for this, and I and Fei'er have both got some of them, and I wonder if it will be useful under the washing of the river. β
The monk did the opposite, Yasin who was following behind and the elites who followed him lost their target, and after the giant bats led the team to the river, they began to circle around the river in a daze, and the priest of the god of war who followed behind said in an appreciative tone:
"A very experienced warrior can actually perceive the spices we use, and come up with a way to deal with it, seeing this person's fighting ability last night, it is all a blessing from the god of war. β
Yasen in front of him smiled bitterly without attracting attention, these God of War priests will always have such a sigh when they see a strong warrior, but they have to catch that Thirty-Six, if he has to judge that Thirty-Six is not wrong, it is the female cultist that the Wind and Snow Sword Saint of the Odan Empire is chasing and killing, Yasin is not greedy for the reward, but he really wants to get the sword of holy blood, but he can't say this to these people around him.
Hui Gang and his party seemed to have disappeared into Havel City, and Yasen couldn't find any trace after all the methods, so he had no choice but to use all the power he could use to set up checkpoints everywhere. Then, the Governor's Mansion issued an order to mobilize the Battle Priests of the Temple of War to participate in the search, and the Governor's Palace's magical advisors also joined the operation.
But nothing was found, and the only judgment that could be made was that the three monks had not left the city yet.
After the chaos of the previous night, despite the vigilant soldiers everywhere in Havel City, the ball salon of the Doge's Palace was held in a grand manner, and this ball, unlike other times, no one cared about Duke Grayson's presence in the city since he came to take up the post of governor, and everyone knew who the real ruler of the city-state was.
But last night's turmoil, everyone woke up one night and everyone was surprised to find. The situation was reversed at once, and the Doge's Office swept away all of General Barty's forces, taking full control of the power that was supposed to be his own.
In normal times, although invitations were sent to those in the city who had status and qualifications to attend, those people shirked for some reason, and only those who had no interests or wanted to be close to Vivien, the third daughter of the Duke's family, attended.
Tonight was different, the street in front of the Governor's Palace was lined up with carriages of people who had come to attend, and the coachmen were arguing with each other over a place to park. After the dignitaries got out of the car, they greeted each other with familiar or unfamiliar people and walked into the gate of the Governor's Palace, and today the servants of the Governor's Palace also became elated, and they felt a little proud of their eyebrows.
The ball at the Governor's Palace, in such a rich city-state, is naturally extremely luxurious, but the attention of the guests who came to attend was obviously not here, everyone wanted to take this opportunity to show goodwill to the Governor, so as not to leave a bad impression on the coldness of their previous paragraph, yes, who would have thought that Duke Grayson, who was called the prodigal, would have such a cold and ruthless method.
Duke Grayson made a brief speech at the beginning of the ball, presumably asking everyone not to worry about the chaos of the previous night, etc., that they were just some mistakes in the movement of the garrison, and that everything would remain the same in the future, and then that everyone had a good time, and so on.
The guests were surprised to find that General Barty had also appeared at the ball, but with two attendants dressed as people beside him, Barty's original majestic momentum had completely disappeared, and he stood there quite dejectedly watching the laughter in the arena.
Clear-eyed people naturally understand that Barty has been placed under house arrest in the governor's palace, as for why he was not put into prison immediately, it was because of the laws of the Drew Empire, and the power to deal with the commanders of the garrisons in various places was in the hands of the emperor.
Thinking of these, these guests admired the tactfulness of the Governor in their hearts, and even more despised the recklessness of General Barty's actions.
When the atmosphere in the field became more and more enthusiastic, it suddenly quieted down, and with the announcement of the waiter, the third lady of Duke Grayson in full costume, the flower of the Drew Imperial Capital appeared, wearing a pink floor-length dress, hanging a diamond necklace on her slender and white neck, and the girl appeared in the field like a proud swan, and under the reflection of the crystal chandelier on the dome of the hall, her whole body seemed to shine, and the elegance was peerless.
Vivien's beauty suddenly took away all the grace of the field, and she walked into the middle of the field under the gaze of all kinds of envy, amazement, and jealousy, and according to the etiquette, Duke Grayson first danced with his daughter, and then sat down beside him, and the young nobles swarmed him.
The atmosphere of the ball was at its highest, and the Flying Wolf Knight's Triter was in the hall, and after the battle that night, he stepped forward in time to expose General Barty's crimes, and quickly drew a line with his former colleagues. Because he was a samurai with high martial arts skills, and he showed his loyalty in time, he was quickly transferred to serve as a guard by the governor of the governor's palace, who lacked manpower.
Looking at Vivian, who was dancing in the audience, Trite couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, deeply admiring her quick reaction, otherwise, where could you see such a beautiful beauty.
At this time, the former flying wolf knight didn't care about any guard duties, and his eyes were all floating around with the flowers of the imperial capital in the field, but suddenly Trite was excited, and he suddenly saw the invincible blonde young man the night before in the crowd on the periphery, with a very beautiful female companion by his side.
Treette gasped, the female companion didn't know who it was, but that blonde young man was now the most wanted criminal in the city, how could he have the courage to come here.
"Is it a whistleblowing?" turned this thought in his mind, thinking of Hui Gang's invincible performance that night, at that time he still didn't use his hands, but only used two legs to defeat the elite troops under General Barty, what kind of person is this, is it the Holy Domain!?
Thinking of this, Trite paid attention to it, raised his eyes to the sky and made a vigilant appearance, and no longer dared to bet his eyes on the field, lest he be discovered by the monk.
Hui Gang and Alina were dressed in the clothes of the guests, and they didn't notice the frightened Trite over there, they just stood on the periphery and watched the team dancing there in the dance hall inside, Phil was also standing on the side in a dress, Alina had her own residence in Javier City, and when the three of them returned there, they found that they had been surrounded by soldiers, so they had no choice but to hide in a temporarily closed hotel, fortunately, the city was almost under martial law, and the hotel had no guests at all, and the boss simply went home on vacation, and no one found out that they were hiding in the roomγ
The monk once quietly lurked at the city gate to inspect, and after coming back, he made a judgment that under this level of vigilance, he would definitely not be able to go out of the city without alarming the guards, and those God of War priests with phantom monsters, as well as the magic advisors of the Governor's Palace, were very difficult opponents, and he still had Alina and Fei'er to worry about.
Hearing that there was a dance party in the Governor's Mansion in the evening, the monk made up his mind to pay attention, and quietly intercepted a carriage that was going to attend the dance on the way, lit the people on the car, changed their clothes and mixed in.
There was also an interesting incident when the report was made, after the maid at the door made sure that the invitation was correct, he shouted: John and his wife and daughter were present, but 'Mrs. John' Alina felt that she was called older, and 'John's daughter' was angry that she was wrongly called younger, and she was not happy, and walked into the dance hall.
Naturally, the monk didn't notice these things, he just vigilantly followed the figure of the governor Duke Grayson, which was his purpose tonight.
Duke Grayson looked at the red men and green women in the field with a smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes, it was as cold as ice, Yasin was wearing a military uniform, standing straight behind him like a guard, and the governor Grayson was there with his chin in his hand, and suddenly asked:
"Mingyue was established by you, and the thirty-sixth who escaped do you know his details. β
Yasin hurriedly bowed down and replied:
"Lord, do you remember that some time ago in the Odan Empire, that Holy Blood Sword Saint of the Golden Saker was suddenly seriously injured and turned into a vegetative person?"
Grayson nodded faintly:
"Is that swinger who relies on artifacts to deceive people? Could it be that Thirty-Six did it?"
Yasin hurriedly defended:
"No, no, but she should have something to do with the Sword of the Holy Blood, our news in the Mercenary Guild says that some people have seen this girl holding that sword when they were in Audan, and before that, this woman had been in Gravel Town for a long time, knowing that a very strong energy reaction appeared there this year.
"With the help of the Patriarch, it took me two years to completely control this city-state, don't make more trouble, learn about this matter as soon as possible, don't leave it alive, as soon as possible!"
