Chapter 40: Sycophants
"Lord of the Castle!"
When Rocky returned to the airport in Thunderhawk City on the floating ship, Erin and the guards, including Voss, were already waiting for him, and when they saw him walk out of the cabin safe and sound, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, especially Erin.
Erin is not optimistic about Rocky's operation, although she also admits that Rocky's thinking is right, but she doesn't think he can really succeed, Erin always thinks that his safe return is the best outcome.
But it was precisely because the expectations were not high in the first place that Erin was stunned when she saw four bags full of gray rock being moved off the ship!
"My lord, is thisβIs this ......?"
Holding a fist-sized gray rock in her hand, Erin almost didn't believe her eyes, she repeatedly confirmed, and even glanced back at Voss before she said dryly, "Is this gray rock?"
"That's right. β
Her reaction did not surprise Rocky, not to mention that Erin was not hopeful about the operation, in fact, even he was not very sure.
However, Rocky still succeeded in the end, so when he saw Erin's unbelievable expression, he may not show much on the surface, but he is still very happy in his heart!
"Congratulations to the city lord for your success! Hunting the Gray Rock Demon, Lord Wu Yun Changhong!"
Just when Erin was stunned and Rocky was still secretly cool, Vos, who was standing on the side, suddenly stepped forward, respectfully bowed to Rocky, and said loudly.
His words made everyone present stunned.
Rocky was also stunned, he didn't expect Voss to say such things at this time, this is obviously a slap on his ass!
It's not like Voss's style.
At the same time, the other people present were also stunned when they heard this, especially the guards present.
Voss's words made all the guards look surprised, because these people didn't know what Rocky was going to do when he returned to land, so when they learned that he had killed the demon, the guards suddenly looked at Rocky differently!
In the eyes of these ordinary guards, the demons that have occupied the land for nearly a hundred years are completely invincible monsters, and anyone who can kill the demons is enough for them to worship, so as soon as they heard Voss's words, the guards' eyes immediately became awe-inspiring, their city lord was so powerful?!
Before they knew it, the soldiers were standing even straighter, and they were afraid to be presumptuous in front of Rocky.
The guards changed unconsciously, naturally they did not escape Rocky's eyes, he immediately understood Voss's intentions, Vos's words just now seemed to be a slap on his ass, but in fact they were for these guards!
Ginger is still old and spicy!
Nodding at Voss with a smile, Rocky admired the old man even more.
"What are you doing in a daze!"
At this time, Lilia stepped forward and said to the guards: "Move these things to the City Lord's Mansion, and then send someone to take strict care of them, and don't allow the slightest mistake!"
"Yes!"
Although Lilia has not been the captain of the guards for a long time, she has already managed the guards of Thunder Eagle City in an orderly manner, and the guards respect her even more, so after Lilia finished speaking, the guards immediately moved the four bags of gray rocks away.
The four bags of gray rocks that Rocky and Lilia got back, but it took three or four people to reluctantly move a bag in the hands of the guards, after all, it was not filled with cotton, but gray rocks, and Rocky and Lilia were also reluctantly obtained by relying on their own strength.
And after the guards moved all the gray rocks one after another, Erin gave Rocky a strange look: "City Lord, aren't you going to go back?"
The greystone has been moved, but Rocky has no intention of leaving, much to Lilia's surprise.
"You accompany me and wait, there are still people coming. β
As he spoke, Rocky looked at Voss: "Your Excellency Voss, please stay as well." β
"Okay. β
Smiling and nodding, Voss stayed at the airport without asking anything.
Soon after, another floating ship emerged from the clouds and slowly flew over the airport.
"My lord, ...... this?"
Looking at this strange floating ship approaching, Erin looked surprised, because a small city like Thunderhawk City is not often visited, except for the Chamber of Commerce to trade regularly, no one may come back once a year.
"This is a friend I met on land. β
Smiling slightly, Rocky explained casually, and at the same time, Filly, who was in charge of the airport, also ran in front of him: "My lord, this floating ship...... How is it arranged?"
Standing in front of Rocky, Filly, though respectful, seemed a little unsure of what to do.
According to the normal situation, there are rules and regulations for floating ships to dock in Sky City, unless it is a floating ship in the city, otherwise foreign floating ships must first indicate their intentions, and when they land, they also need to pay a certain entry tax, which can be really released.
But the floating ship that was about to land at this time was obviously waiting for Rocky, so that Filly didn't know whether he had to deal with it according to the normal procedure, so he simply ran over to ask him.
"Just follow the rules. β
"Yes!"
Hearing this, Filly saluted Rocky and walked away quickly.
Under his command, Monte's floating ship began to dock and slowly landed in the harbor.
Once the float was firmly on the ground, Monte stepped out of her float with her daughter, a young orc, and after paying the taxes to the guards, she headed straight for Rocky.
Soon after, Monte brought her daughter to Rocky and the others.
At this time, Monte's face was much better than before, and the severed arm was also simply bandaged, which should have been handled by his daughter.
"Lord Rocky, thank you for helping me. β
"Lord Rocky, thank you for saving my father. β
Coming to Rocky, Monte bowed to him as he spoke, apparently thanking him, while his daughter bowed her head in the same way.
This kind of performance of the two is not too much at all, although Rocky only brought Monte to Thunderhawk City, but this act alone is enough to be called a lifesaver.
Because Monte's injuries are obviously not something that their father and daughter can deal with alone, they must go to Sky City to find a professional doctor to treat them, but the sky is so big, even if there are more in Sky City, they can't be found casually.
If it weren't for Rocky, the only way for the father and daughter would be to go to those large sky cities that have been hovering in a certain coordinate all year round for treatment, but at that time, it would be difficult to say whether Monte would be saved or not.
So Rocky's seemingly simple move actually saved Monte's life.
"It's okay, it's just a gesture. β
Facing the father and daughter duo of their own strength, Rocky smiled slightly, not looking very concerned, but then he said to Monte: "We should get to know each other again, Thunderhawk City Lord, Rocky." β
