Pol Fes is a low-ranking officer in the Imperial Capital Guard. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

These days, Porfes is in a terrible mood.

Because of his leading boss, not only rejected his leave slip a few days ago, but also resolutely transferred him to a post and temporarily assigned him to the security office of the imperial capital to help.

Now, his main duty is no longer to guard the majestic and sturdy walls of the imperial capital, but to lead people to patrol the East Street of the civilian area and maintain local law and order.

It sounds very simple and easy, it is to take people to run errands, patrol patrols, and deal with some fights, robberies and thefts, civil disputes and other incidents.

However, Porfes was wrong. Not only wrong, but also outrageously wrong.

With the approaching 80th birthday of His Majesty Charles IX, the flow of people in the imperial capital is increasing day by day.

Merchants from the north and south, nobles from other provinces, prominent members of the royal family, several royal palaces who have arrived one after another, unidentified magicians, wandering warriors dressed strangely, archbishops sent by the Church of Light, mercenary guilds and birthday messengers sent by the Magical Guild......

From the unattainable royal magnates to the hungry beggars, there are almost no people.

The hotels in the imperial capital are full.

There are just too many people.

When there are many people, problems also arise, causing a lot of public security incidents. Which noble young master beat which commoner, which stall was smashed by a group of people, which one stole something inexplicably, and so on.

After the hotels were full, the cells in the security center were gradually full at a terrifying rate.

Not only the patrol soldiers under Polfes, but also Porfes himself, felt as tired as a pug.

The food in the security station is worse than that of the city guards. The bed board here is also cold and hard, and at night, there is only a thin dirty quilt to cover.

I can't eat well, and I can't sleep well. I finally fell asleep, and before I started dreaming, it was woken up by the sound of gongs and drums, which meant that there was another public security incident.

It was a few days since I last went home? I think it was seven days ago.

I didn't go home to hug my wife for seven days! I had just married my wife and returned home less than two days ago, when such an incident happened, and I had to let my wife stay alone in the empty room......

Polfes wanted to cry without tears. Fortunately, he didn't know William and didn't know what the term 'next door king' was.

So far, the only thing that has made Porfes happy is that his brothers from the city guards are not having a good time.

During the day, under the scorching sun, they have to wear the heavy armor that they used to wear when they were on duty or training, and they also have to hold spears, maintain a neat formation, and stick to their posts sweating.

Recently, there are a lot of people who have been in and out of the imperial capital, and naturally the inventory is also very strict, and they work hard. Near the city gate, if there is a riot, you have to send troops to suppress it on the spot at any time.

The imperial capital was overcrowded, whether it was the security offices of the civilian and aristocratic districts, or the city guards at the four city gates, or the guards in the restricted areas, they were all mobilized and sent all the garrison forces to take strict precautions.

Fortunately, His Majesty Charles IX issued a decree that greatly eased their pressure: during martial law, the total number of domestic servants carried by all foreign nobles should not exceed thirty.

Once it is exceeded, I have to be wronged and go to the outskirts of the imperial capital to lay a floor.

Polfes was busy.

Today, William is also busy.

At noon, when the sun was shining, he took a leisurely swim, and after a comfortable swim, he lay lazily in the big chair and wrote back to his mysterious reader, when Crean brought an important news.

Captain Dodora and a hundred soldiers of the family guard, escorted three hundred barrels of beer, have been transported to the docks of Canaan Province.

After William got the news, he took Kane and Master Rhein and ran away to pick up Captain Dodora.

These 300 barrels of beer will appear at the birthday banquet of His Majesty Charles IX, and there is no room for error.

And for this matter, Chancellor of the Exchequer Rondoses has sent someone to privately urge William for a long, long time, and William naturally regards it as a top priority.

It was noon when I left, and when I returned, it was already the next morning.

William squinted in the carriage for a while, and when he came back, he didn't rest, and went directly to the carriage to the financial office in the forbidden area of the imperial capital.

The forbidden area of the imperial capital is very large, the deepest part of the inside is the royal palace of His Majesty Charles IX, and the outside is full of buildings such as the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Treasury Office, and the governor's mansions of the major provinces. Therefore, this place is also extremely strict, and the soldiers patrolling back and forth are almost five steps and one post, and ten steps and one sentry.

William, with Captain Dodora and a hundred family guards, and three hundred barrels of beer, was subjected to waves of interrogation.

Fortunately, William had the Chancellor's order of passage in his hand, and these strictly interrogating officers did not embarrass William and the others, checked it a little, confirmed that the beer keg was not a weapon, and then let it go.

The location of the finance office, located in the middle and periphery of the restricted area, is quite easy to find. Along the way, without asking for directions, William found Chancellor of the Exchequer Rondoses.

The old man was quite resentful and happy, like a girl who was about to be married, and complained to William for a long time.

A smile appeared on the corner of William's mouth and said, "Mr. Rondoses, I'm really sorry. Our Reist family's brewery is located in the province of Kuwait, and it takes time to produce beer, and it takes time to get it in. It didn't cause you any trouble when it arrived so late, did it?"

Chancellor of the Exchequer Rondoses shook his head: "It's okay, it's in time." We're about to set up the venue. Five days later, when His Majesty's birthday banquet is held, you will also come. ”

William was stunned.

Chancellor of the Exchequer Rondoses explained: "That's not what I meant. In fact, you are not qualified to attend. However, there are people in the palace who want you to participate by name, and I am just a messenger. ”

When William heard this, his heart became more and more confused.

He didn't know anyone in the palace. Is there something wrong with this?

"Rondoses, excuse me... Do you know who invited me to His Majesty's birthday banquet?" asked William hesitantly.

"I don't know. However, if the other party can mobilize the commander of the guards to deliver a message to me, and he lives in the palace, his status must be extremely noble. ”

Rondoses looked at William, and there was a look of doubt in his eyes: "You don't know anyone yourself, and you still come to ask me?"

William asked out loud, "Your Majesty's birthday banquet, can I not attend it?"

When Londosis heard this, his brows suddenly furrowed: "The list of attendees of the birthday banquet will be personally reviewed by His Majesty in the end. If you have a kind of Majesty pigeon...... You don't have to come. ”

William smiled bitterly, speechless.

He couldn't think about it, so he simply stopped thinking about it. Anyway, when the birthday banquet is held, the mysterious person will naturally surface.
