241 Father Patton
It was the same soldier from before who came to report. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It was as if he had picked up a bag of gold coins on the road, and when he entered the temple, he shouted and screamed, which made those officials who were very unhappy in their hearts make the decision to go out and kill him.
"Your Majesty, Lord Phoenix...... Your Majesty, he's back......"
Coming to Phoenix, the soldier reported excitedly.
"Coming back?"
Phoenix frowned and looked out the door with a little confusion.
"Zhuqing, how many days have I been away?"
Soon, a "man" with a mask walked into the main hall under the protection of several soldiers.
His steps are vague but inexplicably steady, and his walk is casual but full of the power of a king, and he is indeed the king they are familiar with.
The soldiers who were in charge of protection were all the ones who had been punished for the disappearance of the iron mask, and now that they finally saw him come back, they were in good spirits, their hands did not leave the hilt of the sword for a moment, and they made a posture of drawing their swords to meet the enemy at any time, and a pair of eyes were also looking around, for fear that a few men in black would suddenly jump out and take away this powerless king.
"Your Majesty, you can come back!"
Among the many officials, Zajira should be the happiest one, he stepped forward with an excited face and knelt down not far from the iron mask.
"It's great that the Elemental God is above, Your Majesty, that you're okay. ”
"General, I just encountered a little trouble on this trip, why are you so panicked?"
Tie Mian seemed to be a little surprised that he came up to kneel down, and he actually bent down in front of all the officials present and helped the slightly older general in front of him.
This time, the audience was shocked.
You know, Iron Mask has always hated being touched by others, and even treats his wife Ovilia's requests, although it has improved slightly during this time, but overall, the number of contacts with others is still very small.
Now, how can it not be surprising that such a proud king should take the initiative to help others up?
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty......?"
This general has also been with Tie Mian for many years, and he was a little frightened when he received this gift, and he couldn't say anything for a while.
"I am deeply touched by your loyalty, General, and you have worked hard in my absence. ”
"No, no, no...... It's not hard, during your absence, all affairs are handed over to Lord Phoenix, and I am just sending troops to find your whereabouts. ”
Zajira is an honest man, and he has no idea of taking this kind of credit at all, and after Iron Mask said it, he quickly said the credit of Phoenix.
"Oh, is that so?"
As he spoke, Iron Mask looked at Phoenix a little puzzled.
“...... It's my job. ”
Phoenix, who still had a lot of doubts in his heart, knelt down on one knee and made a knightly salute, making up for the kneeling that should have been done before.
"Hurry up, I am very relieved that the two of you are loyal to this, unlike some people who have evil intentions, who wish I had disappeared this time and had no place to be buried. ”
After saying this, he deliberately looked around, and those who touched his line of sight lowered their heads in shame.
"Your Majesty, what is your trip to ...... What did you encounter?"
This, in fact, is the focus of the discussion now.
"Hmm...... Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just ...... Met the Assassins of Balowa on the way......"
"The Assassin ?!! of Balowa"
As soon as Iron Mask finished speaking, Zajira, who heard his reply, was startled, and then he grabbed one of the soldiers and yelled loudly.
"Go, punish the fools who are guarding the city, and let such dangerous people enter the city, do they still want their heads?!"
"General, don't be angry, the Assassin never writes on his face that he is an Assassin or not? ”
As he spoke, the king seemed to laugh, and from under his mask, a laugh resembling a metallic sound sounded.
It sounds a little weird, and if it's the first time you hear it, you will definitely find it scary, but for these two people, they are used to it.
"I felt that instead of punishing others, I should reward some people, and I escaped this time thanks to one person reaching out to help. ”
"Who?"
"Patton, leader of the 'Shattered Dreams' organization, former chief magician of the country, and priest of the Elemental Temple. ”
"Is it him?!"
Hearing the name, both Barton and Phoenix had a slightly unsightly expression on their faces.
They can't forget the days when Iron Mask first came to power, when the country was in chaos and in dire need of talent to be the pillar, and the priest named Barton was also chosen to be a member of the palace.
If you want to say it, Barton's talent is also quite good, and magicians of the Sacred Heart class are not common, although they are slightly inferior to a genius like Aryo who squeezed into the ranks of the strong at a young age, but they are also very good existences, not to mention, Aryo was originally his student, according to herself, to have today's achievements, there is also half the credit of this priest.
But......
Phoenix and Zajira didn't like this guy.
This man is very strange, and both of them think that his way of thinking things is completely different from their own. It's true that he's ahead of his time and always comes up with some great ideas, but ...... The method of infringing on the interests of many people made the nobles feel hated, and they refused to listen to many persuasions, and finally had to remove them from their posts.
Do you think, how can people who say that commoners and nobles are equal in this kind of world be able to mix in officialdom?
"Your Majesty...... With all due respect, Lord Patton ......"
"Your Majesty...... Barton has made too many enemies and thinks badly, but you still ...... Don't associate with him too much......"
Not only Zajira, but even Phoenix did not hesitate to step forward to persuade him.
"I know what you think, two Aiqing, but after all, he is my savior, if I don't give him a certain reward today, I'm afraid that some people in the palace will feel unfair......"
"What?
Hearing this day, Phoenix's and Zajira's whole faces were almost dark, especially Phoenix, his eyes were already filled with a strange emotion, and he even doubted whether the person in front of him was really a king.
He knew very well that the real Iron Mask would never treat Barton like this, he knew the threat from the other side, and he had been thinking about suppressing it from the beginning to the present, how could he reward him again?
"Order, let Father Patton and his entourage enter the temple. ”
As he spoke, Iron gave an order to a soldier.
As a god, as a seraphim, he seems to be ...... when he uses all his perceptual abilities to the limit. I already saw an extremely ugly smiling face under that metal mask.
