Chapter 232: United City-States (Part II)
The port is also a city. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Just got off the ship, and the first impression of this port city on Said was neatness and order.
The port avenue is full of people and vehicles, but there is no congestion at all.
Vehicles take the road for vehicles, pedestrians take the pedestrian road, and those who leave the pier go on the same side, and those who go to the pier take the other side, and in the middle of each road, there are some flower beds in isolation, which looks beautiful and effective.
Then Syd noticed that the road under his feet was very smooth, as if there were no waves on the water, but it was neither an ordinary dirt road, nor a large road made of stone slabs, it seemed to be still stone, but I don't know what it was glued together, the whole road was completely integrated, very strong and at the same time, there was not the slightest gap in connection.
His eyes looked around with interest, and the shops were neat and clean.
A tailor shop is not like a tailor shop, and all styles of clothes are finished products, displayed directly in the store, and they look quite beautiful, well, and, trendy. The more trendy the store, the more customers it seems.
The same is true for bakeries, where black bread is rare, and white bread of all styles, some with cheese on top and some with slices of meat and vegetables, will whet your appetite when you look at it.
"Look there, my lord!"
The carriage was at a corner, and suddenly the speed slowed down a little, and the guard who drove the carriage turned his head, and the sound came into the carriage.
Following the sentry's gaze, Said's heart suddenly moved.
"Mountbatten Charismatic Academy!"
The tall walls obscured the interior, and only a few of the church-like buildings with steeples were exposed, but the glittering golden Victory insignia at the entrance of the academy revealed the origin of the academy.
"What a quick move!"
Said's heart fluttered slightly. The Church is not static, it enters the United City-State in the form of an academy, and if it is taught some secret arts, even divine arts, and then raises some examples, it will definitely not be slow to gain a foothold.
But now is not the time to tear down the bridge.
Nodding slightly, he motioned for the carriage to move on.
McCarthy City is the central city of the island, and according to previous understanding, it should be more than half an hour away from this side, and without being prepared to stop here, the carriage went straight along the avenue.
"In eight or nine days, it will be the time of the New Year, and at this time, the mother and the others must be all there. ”
Gradually, horse-drawn carriages began to leave the port city, and in the distance, some landmarks in the center of the island began to come into view.
In Said's heart, some ripples gradually rose again.
In the blink of an eye, he and his mother, and Edith, had been separated for two whole years, and looking at the overall appearance of the United City-State, their lives must have been stable, but Garni was left alone with Nantes......
......
Mountbatten, a tavern.
A man in fur hurriedly walked in, walked directly to the bar, and said in a low voice: "Is there a superior room?"
"Sir, we are here in a tavern, if you want to stay, please go next door. The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man of three or four years old, and he smiled with a moving eye.
"Old Chuck introduced me to the service. As he spoke, the fur-fur man tapped his fingers three times on the bar.
"It turned out to be a friend of Brother Chuck, please inside. The shopkeeper stared slightly, smiled heartily, and personally ushered the fur-fur man into the backyard of the tavern.
The two of them entered a secret passage and entered a cellar-like underground chamber.
As soon as the door of the secret room was closed, the fur-fur man's face immediately turned grim: "The port of Durban urgently sent a letter to the city of Frense immediately with the Sea Eagle level." ”
A secret letter.
The tavernkeeper's eyes froze, he understood the meaning of the port of Durban, which was the entrance and exit for all the information of the organization in Menes, and Menes was one of the two most important concerns of the organization right now.
"Yes!" the tavern keeper took the letter.
"The secret letter was sent, and then someone was arranged to summon the city lord of Alyssa, secretly find out the whereabouts of a monitor lizard carriage, and must warn her that she should only be indirectly explored, and there should be no direct temptation. One copy of the information on this will be sent to the city of Flens, and one will be left for the night, and I will come and collect it every day. The fur-fur man commanded again.
Alyssa, the lord of Mountbatten, is also the lord of McCarthy, and the entire island is her domain.
However, the organization has a close relationship with her, and it is okay to ask her for assistance, and if necessary, to give her direct orders.
The tavern owner respectfully complied, and the two of them left the chamber and dispersed.
......
McCarthy City, the wealthy district, in front of a mansion with a large garden.
Old Martin was directing the servants and was doing a big cleaning.
It's the end of the year, and unlike in previous years, there are two mansions that need to be sorted out, and everything must be arranged as soon as possible.
However, he was busy, but as the old housekeeper of the Bessie family for many years, seeing the main family recover from the accident of two years ago and develop rapidly, old Martin was busy and happy.
"Thanks to Miss and Miss Sun, business in the Duchy of Raymond is so stable...... Even the city lord invited the two young ladies to the banquet from time to time...... I just don't know when Young Master Sun will come back. ”
Old Martin's expression was serious, but his heart was in reverie.
At this moment, coming from a distance, the ground trembled slightly, and old Martin turned his head to look at it, and then his eyes jumped, and he hurriedly walked into the courtyard again, and closed the iron fence-like gate.
In the distance, there was a carriage pulled by a huge monster, and even if it was only from a distance, he felt terrified.
Don't think about it, it must be those "knights" again, and I'm afraid it's still extremely powerful, at least Miss's Lord Duterr, there is no such monster as a mount.
When you meet these people, if you can look at them less, you can look at them less. Even with the lord of the city, the knights were privileged, and if they killed someone, they were not necessarily severely punished.
The carriage was fast, and the heavy footsteps of the monster approached quickly, and when they reached the outside of the courtyard, suddenly, the footsteps disappeared.
Immediately, a voice with a somewhat strange accent, which should not be from the United City-State, came in: "May I ask if this is the Bessi Mansion?"
Bercy House, looking for a master?
However, the lord and they either went to the Chamber of Commerce, or went to attend some banquets, although they didn't want to come out, Old Martin could only stand up again: "This is Bercy Mansion, may I ask, who are you looking for?"
The voice trembled slightly, and the deep eyes of the person outside the door should be a Menes, this person has a terrifying pressure, more terrifying than the monster outside.
Also, being able to subdue a monster and as a mount should be more terrifying than a monster.
Just when Old Martin's thinking was a little divergent, the man suddenly turned around again and bowed to the side of the carriage: "My lord, this is here." ”
It's just someone else's subordinate!
In response to the voice, a black-robed man walked down the carriage, an indescribable feeling, old Martin wanted to sneak a peek at what kind of person it was, but his eyes were about to look over, but his eyelids were like pressing a small mountain, and he couldn't lift it at all.
"Old Mr. Bessie and Mrs. Dinah are there?" said in a calm voice, which should be very young.
"The lord and the young lady have gone to the chamber of commerce to deal with things, may you ask for them, is there anything urgent?" Old Martin replied respectfully without daring to raise his head.
"What about Edith and Eleanor?" the calm voice did not reply to him.
"The two young ladies should have been invited by the city lord to attend the banquet at Hayden Castle. Old Martin didn't know why he couldn't control his mouth, and he answered whatever he asked.
City Lord?
Seid's heart moved slightly, and as he walked to the courtyard, he said, "Send someone to inform Mr. Bessie and Mrs. Dinah, my surname is Garth." ”
In response to his footsteps, Martin Sr.'s hand unconsciously opened the door, and Syd immediately walked to the mansion, and the guard also drove the monitor lizard into the courtyard.
Gus?
Old Martin's eyes jumped suddenly: "You are Young Master Sun?"
Seeing that he seemed to nod his head and suppressed the fear in his heart, Old Martin hurriedly arranged for the servants to go to the Chamber of Commerce and the castle to inform the lord and the young lady of them.
He also personally arranged the reception of Young Master Sun.
I was just thinking about when Young Master Sun would come back, but I didn't expect it to arrive soon, but I just ...... It's not like the two Miss Sun, in the face of this, the pressure is too great!
However, this may be the reason why Grand Duke Raymond also has to take care of the family, and the city lord also has to befriend the two Miss Sun, right?
Happy and helpless, until this time, Old Martin found that he still couldn't raise his eyes and see with his own eyes what Young Master Sun looked like.
......
As lords of McCarthy City, the Hayden family's castle is naturally the center of the island.
At this moment, the city lord Alyssa was entertaining some people.
Several seniors who are also from the teacher's disciple and have their own backgrounds, the younger generation of several large families on the island, and then, there are inevitably well-known tutors from several colleges, and there are also people from the two newly established charity colleges.
Just as she was talking to everyone about the situation in the Menes Empire and the training of students in each academy, suddenly, the figure of the old butler appeared on the side of the banquet hall and signaled to her.
The old butler was the person she trusted the most, and he would not disturb her interest at this time.
After a confession to the people around her, Alyssa walked over.
"Miss, a secret letter over there. ”
Really!
Over there, of course, it's the teacher's side!
Leaving the hall through the side door, Alyssa opened the secret letter, looked through it for a while, and handed it to the old butler: "According to what the letter says, you can arrange for someone to investigate." ”
The old butler took the letter and read it, and then nodded: "Yes, miss, I will find out everything as soon as possible." ”
Monitor Lizard Carriage!
What kind of person will it be!
The old housekeeper went to arrange, Alyssa walked back to the banquet hall with some curiosity, and heard a senior brother's slightly drunk voice from a distance: "The new year is coming again, Teacher Brent will recruit a new batch of students, don't hide it from you, this time I came to McCarthy City, in addition to visiting Alisa's sister, but also because of a task arranged by the teacher, to inspect each ...... in advance."
"Senior brother, you're drunk!" another senior brother stopped him.
Seeing the glittering eyes of some people around her, Alyssa shook her head and smiled in her heart...... I don't know what I'm fooling around again, it's all the teacher's disciples, who doesn't know who, how can they get drunk so easily, not to mention leaking the wind!
At this moment, another attendant walked outside the banquet hall, walked respectfully to the two women from the side, and after a short whisper, he saw that the two women suddenly showed surprise on their faces.
One of the women was also holding a cute and beautiful little girl.
After confessing to the people around her, the two women walked over to her again.
"City Lord Elisa, something has happened at home, we have to go back as soon as possible, please forgive me. The young woman who was holding the little girl gently apologized.
Another young and energetic girl also said, "Sister Alyssa, we have to go back first, thank you for your hospitality." ”
"It doesn't matter. Sister Edith, Sister Eleanor, if there's anything you need my help with, you can send a message. Alyssa smiled.
The two girls then left.
"What will happen to the Bessie family?"
Alyssa's heart fluctuated slightly. Judging from the looks of the two, it shouldn't be a bad thing.
The teacher had sent a message asking her to befriend the two, and from what she knew, the purpose was to find their younger brother, a powerful knight, and enter the legendary Silver Tower!
"Later, let someone know what's going on on the Bessie family's side. ”
