Chapter 25: The Affair of Dila (3)
Tianju City is not a small city. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoOn the contrary, the city is not too far from the imperial city of Yurasno. From the geographical point of view, the city has convenient transportation and intersects. Whether it is by water or by land, you can reach Tianju City.
It is precisely because of this that it is also an important hub for communication and cargo distribution throughout the country. All of these have given Tianju City a unique advantage in trade and economy, and the tax revenue contributed to the empire is also in the forefront all year round.
Merwiz didn't plan to rush from Tianju City to the Imperial Capital at first, and if you put aside the Diluo River, Diluo City would be relatively closer to the Imperial Capital. Moreover, Tianju City is a metropolis, and it is difficult to ensure that there will be no emergencies.
As Melwitz decided not to cross the Dila River by land and to take the waterway instead, the entourage sailed south on Gronn Kilde's boat, arriving at the port of Tenju City at midnight on 9 February.
Even though it's midnight, the port is still brightly lit, with ships coming and going, and the docks are full of people.
Melwidz and his party disembarked with their horses, led by Gron, and left the bustling Tenju Pier and headed for the inner city.
In Tenju Castle, the streets are paved with white stones, and there are faint lights on both sides. It's a quiet street, and it's hard to see any other pedestrians or anything except for Meliwitz and the others.
After a while, under the leadership of Ge Long, they stopped at the door of a restaurant called "Tianju Tower".
At the entrance of the Tianju Tower, a carved stone pillar is placed two people high, and the door is wide enough for five people to enter at the same time.
When the night was silent, Groon commanded one of his servants: "Go, knock." ā
"Yes. Hu Cong walked to the gate of the Tianju Tower, and knocked three times.
After a while, a small door opened from the door. Revealing a woman's face, glancing at the nameplate that Hu Cong showed her, her sleepy eyes immediately became energetic, and without saying a word, she quickly asked someone to open the door and invite Meliwitz and her party to enter the Tianju Tower.
In fact, the behind-the-scenes bosses of Tianju Tower are the Kielder family. In addition, Leven Kild is the current patriarch of the Kild family, mainly responsible for the empire's trade. Since the death of his brother, Gronn Kild has been in charge of the livelihood trade.
The total height of the building is three floors, and a large patio stage is built in the center of the first floor. The floor is paved with lilac marble tiles made of special technology, and not far from the left and right of the stage is the wooden ladder for climbing the stairs, which is also unusual in technology, and the surface has a finely crafted texture pattern.
Go up to the second floor, paved with red handmade pattern carpet, the floor has a banquet room, a piano room, a gambling house, and a bath.
On the third floor, the floor is made of agate stone, and each brick is inlaid with a ruby. There are not many rooms on the third floor, and all of them are luxury suites, providing royal standard services.
In the center of the Tianju Tower, a large hollow chandelier is hung. The chandelier is also featured in the fact that the wick is a magic prop that changes color with the time of day.
Melwitz and Kuzhi were not moved by these luxurious and extravagant decorations, but Is, who had just stepped through the door, patted his clean and shiny head. He muttered: "What a wicked capitalist ......"
Liwen was right behind Iss, and his pointed ears naturally heard what Iss said, and with a smile on his face, he whispered to Iss: "What? Are you interested in investing? I can introduce you to some good projects." ā
The black-faced Isis was stunned for a moment, looked at Levin, who looked like a profiteer, and shook his head: "No, no, I don't need it, I don't need it." Alas, you wait for me. Isis went after Meliwiz.
Levine smiled evilly, "Stinky boy." At the same time, he stepped in to chase Meliwitz.
Grolong, who seemed to have come to inspect the Pony Tower often, whispered to the old steward about the room arrangement. Ge Long arranged Merwitz and Kuzhi respectively in the luxurious suite on the third floor.
Because there are not enough suites on the third floor, it is really unkind to let the sleeping guests vacate the room at this moment.
Anyway, it's just one night, and the Meliwitz entourage won't be picky about the conditions of accommodation. So, Ge Long apologized again and again for arranging the rest of the people to move in on the second floor.
After everything was settled, the night was already deep, and the entourage was already sleepy and tired, and there was nothing to say all night.
Melwiitz was not tired at this time, and he read the ancient books at night.
At this moment, three birdsongs were heard from outside the window, the sound of Melwitz was very familiar, it was the code transmitted by the twilight pupil.
After a while, Twilight appeared like a phantom in Melwitz's room. Seeing Melwiitz bow down first: "I have seen the master." ā
"What's the news from the imperial capital?"
"My lord, Arino Kordar has contacted many royal princes during this period, and three of them have expressed their attachment and are leading the army to the imperial capital. ā
When Melwitz heard this, he asked, "Which three are they?"
"Count Brown Kodar, Count Ramgar Kodar, Marquis de Remut Kodar, the number of soldiers assisting is 350,000. ā
"Inform Heramon to speed up the march and join us in the city of Cuao. ā
......
As soon as the sky was cleared, Livin went out early to buy the applications needed on the ship while the others were still asleep, so he left the Tianju Tower temporarily.
Around lunchtime, Liwen still did not return to Tianju Tower. The attendants of the Heavenly Ju Tower had already served the delicacies in Melwiz's room, and it was always boring to drink alone, so Ku Zhi asked Melwiz to drink and talk together.
Ku Zhi put down the wine glass in his hand and chatted, "I don't know how the Duke got this Emperor Flame Saw?"
"Do you know O'Hariel?" Melwiitz asked rhetorically.
Ku Zhi thought for a moment before he said, "That's the brave man of the Sisrio Empire a hundred years ago?"
Melwitz said with a complacent expression: "Yes, historical sources have recorded that Oharil has a divine weapon in his hand, called the Emperor Flame Saw. Back then, the entire continent suddenly lost news of him, as if the world had evaporated, and even the whereabouts of this Emperor Flame Saw were unknown. ā
Melwitz continued: "I think back then, I didn't have the title I have now, and I was sent by my family to check the seal of the Demon Realm, and I heard that there was an evil dragon in the Somnia Mountains in the area. So he searched for more than a month, and finally beheaded it. There was a sky-high sword horn in the middle of the dragon's head, so I pulled it out, but unexpectedly, this horn was engraved with an inscription - Emperor Flame Saw. ā
After hearing this, Ku Zhi choked his palms: "I don't want the duke to have such an adventure, this dragon not only gave the divine soldier, but also gave the title of the first warrior." The Duke's magic index should not be low, otherwise this Emperor Flame Saw would not have such power. ā
Melwitz laughed self-deprecatingly: "However, I was born without any magical elements, so I can only cultivate my fighting spirit to control this Emperor Flame Saw." ā
Ku Zhi couldn't believe what he heard: "What?
Melwidz said with a high attitude: "Seriously, my father sent me to the Magic Sacrifice when I was a child, and I was sent out as soon as I got started. At that time, everyone passed the test, and I was the only one who was invited out of the magic sacrifice. It doesn't matter, the past can't be repeated after all, so why be persistent. ā
Ku Zhi was also unprovoked, and his hand gently brushed the wine glass in front of him: "Yes, I think I am the next patriarch of the Haoxue clan, and now I have ended up in such a situation." Although there are traitors in the DPRK and China, they are still no match for Haoxue's infighting. ā
Melwitz was a little puzzled: "Infighting?"
"My Haoxue clan has not chosen to rely on the powerful like other clans, so no one who is not my clan can shake my position no matter what. The Snow Tooth is an artifact of my clan, and whoever obtains it can succeed to the position of patriarch. ā
Melwitz was silent, and Ku Zhi's expression was a little melancholy: "Alas, I am not the only candidate to inherit the next patriarch, but also the third son of the current patriarch. In terms of status, I was hopeless. But the Snow Wolf Fang chose me, so the Patriarch sent me to Rokosno for a military position. I don't know what it means. ā
"Don't worry, the Haoxue clan can't take the snow wolf from your hands. Melwiitz was just a short sentence, and Ku Zhi was shocked.
Syllable!
The door to the suite where Melwitz and Kuzhi were suddenly opened, and Melwitz saw that it was Ferro, the cavalry captain under his command.
Fei Luo's whole person looked panicked, and there was sweat on his forehead: "Marshal, Is, Iss has killed someone!"
