Chapter 62: The City Lord's Mansion
Feeling the hostility on Xiao Longchen's body, the military officer hurriedly shouted loudly: "Master Astral Sorcerer, don't do it, there is no malice in the next place!"
As soon as the commander's voice fell, he quickly ran towards Xiao Longchen, and in order to avoid misunderstanding, he even raised his hand to stop the soldiers behind him.
After running in front of Xiao Longchen, the military officer said with a smile: "That bastard dares to offend Lord Astral, that is because he is innocent of death, Lord Astrology has eliminated harm for the people, I believe that Lord City Lord will know about it, and he will thank you!"
Although Xiao Longchen was a little surprised by this result, he didn't have much suspicion.
He had learned from Xiaoxing that on this Star Continent, the chance of giving birth to an astral sorcerer among humans was less than 1 in 10,000.
Moreover, the astral is the mainstay of the defense against the invasion of alien beasts, and if there are not some privileges, it is really unreasonable.
It was precisely because of this guess that he dared to kill people under the city gate, and when he saw this military officer bringing people over, he did not choose to flee at the first time.
"It's good that it didn't cause a misunderstanding, I don't know what the general should be called?" Xiao Longchen put away the gathered star power, looked at the military officer indifferently and asked.
"Your Excellency has tormented the lower officials, and you are just a small hundred households guarding the south gate, but you don't dare to call yourself a general! The villain's name is Li Qing, dare to ask the star magician's honorable name?" The military officer saw that Xiao Longchen put away the star power that was ready to go, and he also breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, and when he saw Xiao Longchen speak politely, his posture was also very low.
"Master Li doesn't need to be polite, just call me Long Wu, although I am an astral magician, I have not joined any of the forces. With the previous lesson, Xiao Longchen was also much more cautious in doing things, and he didn't even tell the other party his real name.
In this way, even if there is any trouble afterwards, the official wanted person is just a teenager named Long Wu, in this era of relatively closed information, he believes that he can control the star weapon flying boat and quickly escape from the scope of the government's wanted.
Li Qing saw that Xiao Longchen didn't let himself call him an adult, and combined with the simple animal skin clothes he was wearing, he also thought of something, so he hurriedly explained respectfully: "The five dragons don't know, the status of the star magician is respected, and among the five empires, they will all be given the status of nobility, so you deserve to be called the next adult." ”
This was quite surprising to Xiao Longchen, but since the star magician had such privileges, there was no need for him to refuse, he just nodded in response, and didn't say anything more.
Li Qing saw that he really didn't know this law, and he was basically able to confirm that the young man in front of him, who was obviously from the mountains, was indeed not deliberately making fun of him.
Thinking of the news that Xiao Longchen had just revealed that he had not joined any of the forces, Li Qing's mind suddenly became active: "Five Dragons, if you don't have anything important to do, can you go into the city with your subordinates to meet the City Lord? ”
Xiao Longchen pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement. He doesn't know anything about the human world in the Star Continent now, and if he can form a good relationship with the lord of a city, it must be more convenient in the north city of this town.
Seeing that this young star magician was so good at talking, Li Qing was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly turned his body sideways and made a gesture of invitation to Xiao Longchen. After taking Xiao Longchen past him, he followed half a position behind.
As for the ordinary soldiers who were standing in the distance, they also bowed and saluted after Xiao Longchen approached, not daring to slack off because the other party was young.
After entering the tall city gate, the soldiers who had already prepared the carriage in advance, and then Li Qing personally stepped forward to open the curtain for Xiao Longchen, and after he entered, Li Qing also bent down and got in.
"You can go!" Li Qingchao's coachman outside ordered, and then put on a smiling face, and took the initiative to talk to Xiao Longchen: "The five dragons must be the first time to come to the north of this town, I don't know if this trip is to hunt strange beasts in the wilderness, or if there are other things to deal with?"
Xiao Longchen still knew the truth that if you talk too much, he didn't want to talk much to this military officer, but seeing the other party with a smiling face, he didn't want to refute people's face because of such a trivial matter, so he replied lightly: "It's just to come and buy some daily necessities, and there is nothing important to do!"
In Li Qing's opinion, Xiao Longchen's slightly cold and hard attitude is in line with his identity as an astrologist, so he didn't have any displeasure in his heart, but said enthusiastically: "Next time, if the five dragons come here again, just let the soldiers guarding the city report directly, and it is also an honor for the villain to be able to share the worries of an astromagician like you." ”
Xiao Longchen just smiled and nodded, then closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
Seeing this, Li Qing also closed his mouth very knowingly, and after about half an hour, after the carriage stopped, Li Qing reminded in a whisper: "Five dragons, the city lord's mansion has arrived......"
Xiao Longchen opened his eyes when he heard this, and then took the lead in getting out of the carriage.
Lifting the curtain, what appeared in front of him was the gate of a mansion that looked quite luxurious, on both sides of the vermilion gate, there were two heavily armed guards, and on the plaque above the door, there were three gilded characters of "City Lord's Mansion", which looked equally imposing.
At this time, Li Qing also got out of the carriage, and then bowed to Xiao Longchen, then quickly ran to the guard at the door, and after whispering a few words to the other party, the guard glanced at Xiao Longchen in disbelief, and then turned around and ran quickly towards the mansion.
Li Qing walked quickly to Xiao Longchen again, and said with a smile: "Please wait for a while, I believe that after the city lord receives the message, he will soon summon you in!"
Xiao Longchen responded casually, and then stood there like a benchmark and waited. After Li Qing saw his standard military posture, although he didn't know why this young star magician was standing so imposingly, he didn't open his mouth again to annoy people, but he felt a little less contempt for Xiao Longchen in his heart.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the guard ran back out of breath, first bowed to Xiao Longchen and saluted, then looked at Li Qing and said, "Lord City Lord asked you to bring this Master Astrology in, he is already waiting in the meeting room." ”
Li Qing nodded, and then flatteringly motioned for Xiao Longchen to go first, and the two entered the city lord's mansion one after the other.
After entering this mansion, Xiao Longchen understood why it took so long for the guard to go in just now to report.
The interior of this City Lord's Mansion was far more extensive than he had imagined.
After walking through the front yard of about thousands of square meters under the guidance of Li Qing, he stepped through an inner door, and then passed through a small garden before he came to a building with a plaque of "meeting room".
The architectural style here is somewhat similar to the ancient buildings of China that Xiao Longchen saw from the movie, all of which are ancient buildings with spires and cornices, but the materials are not blue bricks and glass, but a kind of blue-gray stone with a relatively hard texture.
When he entered the meeting room, he saw a man about forty years old sitting in the upper middle of the body, although the man was wearing a Confucian robe, he could not hide the killing momentum on his body.
What's more, Xiao Longchen felt a spiritual fluctuation unique to an astral magician from this person.
Judging from the momentum alone, this city lord is comparable to the fifth-order saint he killed with the help of Xiaoxing's power before, and he should also be a high-level star magician who is not weak.
After being slightly surprised, Xiao Longchen was quickly relieved. A high-ranking general who can guard such a Xiongguan fortress, if his own strength is not strong, it is a joke.
Li Qing stepped forward quickly, knelt down on one knee and said, "Lord City Lord, this is the Lord Astrology Master that his subordinates met at the city gate. ”
When Xiao Longchen looked at the city lord, the first city lord who was sitting on it was also looking at Xiao Longchen. After feeling that there was indeed a fluctuation of star power on him, the face of this bigwig-level general sitting on one side also showed a little interest.
