7. Summer of Sam

"The Third Princess of the Holy Del Empire has arrived!"

With the shouting of the Dharma Protector Guardian holding the halberd, all the officials of the Sam City Hall immediately opened the solemn red door of the reception hall, and Mr. Mayor, dressed in a black dress, followed the Lord of the Nine Towers Council's Illusion Tower, Pollit the Faceless, stood at the gate to greet him, and almost all the celebrities in the entire Sam City stood in the small place, as well as some of the mages who were currently empty to the extreme of the Nine Towers Council, standing on the outermost were priests from the Divine Temple of Love and Beauty, the Temple of Waujin and other neutral temples, they were also wearing the most luxurious robes, with solemn faces, in general, the entire greeting level in Sam City had reached the extreme。 Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

On the other hand, the guests they were waiting for were only a few people, and at the forefront was the deputy head of the Hussar Knights of the Holy Del Empire, the Holy Power Yodel Fryman, who held the Red Dragon Banner of the Holy Del Empire in his left hand, and the third princess Leah Teris Fryman in his right hand, combining the Holy Del Empire and the other of the three major empires on the continent - the most noble person of the royal blood of the two countries of the Storm Empire, behind her was more than ten reserve hussar knights holding pure gold axes and spears, wearing top-level enchanted armor, each with a family flag tied to his back, although the number was small, but it represented two-thirds of the high nobles of the entire empire, talking about majesty and momentumIt is definitely not inferior to Sam City's well-prepared welcome ceremony, and in terms of quality, it is even better.

Two beautifully dressed little girls walked in front of Yodel and Princess Leah, singing hymns in praise of the god of justice and the Northern Covenant, while grabbing a handful of bauhinia petals from the flower basket they were holding and scattering them into the air, which is the national flower of the Holy Del Empire, for a while, the whole square was filled with a sweet and greasy aroma, and the petals that fell with the wind fluttered in the air, accompanied by those specially released streamers, which also looked amazing.

And the cheers of the citizens of Sam City who stood in the distance and watched one after another, as a mage dominion, when had they ever seen such a magnificent great power, with those mighty knights moving forward step by step, these citizens who were inspired by the fanatical atmosphere did not even know why they were so excited, but they still shouted the name of the little princess Leah hoarsely.

This is the second time that the Holy Del Empire has sent royals to participate in the midsummer festival of Sam City since the Northern Campaign, which represents the empire's attention to the Nine Towers Council, but it is only an importance, you must know that there is a mage organization within the empire that is as famous as the Nine Towers Council and the Tower of the Star and Moon, the Holy White Stone Mage Alliance, which is the strongest of the three major mage organizations in the Western Continent, and it is said that there are still a lot of legendary legends among them, and its strength is by no means comparable to the Nine Towers Council, which has signs of splitting now.

And if there is any problem during the visit of the little princess Leah to Sam City, I am afraid that the Nine Towers Council that is about to split will become the rapidly divided Nine Towers Council, at least in the Western Continent, except for those dwarves and elves who have been allied together since ancient times, no country or force can compete with the Holy Del Empire head-on, and it is also for this reason that as soon as Leah's carriage entered Sam City, it ushered in three great mages with nine mages and countless low-level mages to protect the strong protection group, in addition to those knights, these noble mages on weekdays also keep ensuring the safety of the little princess at all times。

Although Leah thinks that having Uncle Yodel by her side is enough, the little princess can only smile kindly at these mages she has posted, although she sincerely dislikes these old-fashioned white-bearded grandfathers.

Not to mention the warm welcome ceremony here, Elivan, who entered Sam City after following Leah's convoy, was stained with Leah's light, due to the lack of manpower, the Sam City Hall deliberately mobilized half of the soldiers and mages at the city gate to maintain order in the reception hall, so the inspection at the city gate was much looser, and Elevenn casually threw a few gold coins from the tower to the soldiers, and entered Sam City unimpeded, which had been absent for five years.

However, when he stood at the intersection of his memory, he didn't know which way to go, and the wanderer's anxious mood and the miserable alternation of the destruction of his family came to his mind, which made Elivan a little stupid for a while.

"Whew~"

The donkey's cry quickly brought Eliven back to reality, and he looked back at the junction leading to the outskirts of Sam City again, shook his head, and staggered in the other direction.

This time he came to Sam City, and he promised Old Hall that he would send Pals, who had been in Sam City for half a month, back before doing anything else.

But the question is, where is Pars?

Looking at the destroyed Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce in front of him, Eliven was really speechless when he rode on a donkey, this place had obviously been completely destroyed ten days and a half months ago, and the dilapidated houses of the two small chambers of commerce next to it had no damage at all, so the Nine Towers Council, is it a little too arrogant for you to set up a big "accidental fire" sign for this?

"I told you a long time ago to evacuate people from Sam City in advance! I still dare to believe in the character of the in the Nine Towers, hum. ”

Elivan turned the donkey's head and pursed his lips disdainfully, trying to leave the commercial area, which was almost empty today, but when he looked up, two young men in mage robes had stopped in front of him, one of them was wearing a junior mage badge on his chest and leading a pine staff in his hand, and the guy who was obviously the leader closed his eyes and placed the staff across the donkey's head,

"Your Excellency seems to be very familiar with the owner of this shop, do you know? The Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce is suspected of killing thirteen mage apprentices of the Nine Towers Council, which is an unforgivable crime in Sam City, and the Demon Hunting Tower Demon Hunting Department has issued a wanted warrant for the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce, so will Your Excellency follow us obediently, or should you be prepared to resist?"

Elivan grinded his teeth, then stretched out his finger and tapped the chest of the junior mage with his eyes closed, and asked in a low voice,

"So, you've put everyone here in the black jail, including the young master of the Chamber of Commerce?"

The mage still didn't open his eyes, just frowned indifferently,

"What's the matter? What's the use of your Excellency talking so much? or..."

"Bang!"

Jumping up from the donkey, Elivan kicked this fool who couldn't even open the mage barrier to the ground in the face of the enemy, and then made up for it in the face full of pride, and the poor child fainted immediately, and several brave guys around him saw this scene and screamed as if they had been kicked down and ran away, as if standing in place and sneering at them viciously, Elevenn was the most terrifying beast.

Eleven shrugged his shoulders, rolled over and climbed onto the squealing donkey, then raised his hands and shouted with a smile on his face to the mage's apprentice who had drawn his wand and his legs were trembling as if they were vibrating mode, but still forcing himself to be on guard,

"Lao Tzu has admitted defeat! Look! Lao Tzu also beat up a stupid mage, come on, arrest me and put me in black prison!"

The donkey under his crotch also howled, and kicked the unlucky mage who had fallen to the ground in the face with his hind hooves, and after a few strokes, the face was as miserable as garbage from the sewers.

"Stop. Stop! Stop!

The mage apprentice who trembled with a magic wand watched his senior brother being knocked to the ground without even having a chance to attack, and almost turned around and ran away, after all, they were not apprentices of the Shadow Tower or the Demon Hunting Tower, and they couldn't afford to pay for their own lives for the reward that the Demon Hunting Tower had privately handed down, but it was not okay for him to throw down the senior brother who was still being abused by a donkey, because in the mage guidelines of the Nine Towers Council, the act of throwing away his companion's stomach and escaping was punishable by whipping, in short, the remaining guy fell into a contradictory mood of wanting to leave but not daring to go, and couldn't help but start complaining about the senior brother whose heart was higher than the sky, I had to pull myself over to catch this guy and send it to receive a reward, but the guy who said big things was k.o. in one round, and he really had the heart to die.

"Da, da, da..."

The contact between the four hooves of the donkey and the bluestone pavement can make a crisp sound every time, accompanied by the melodious camel bell, it is like a beautiful song, but the panicked mage apprentice will not choose this life-threatening time to enjoy this kind of music, seeing that the fierce and vicious Elivan is getting closer and closer to him, this guy with serious psychological quality even sat directly on the ground, turned over and got off the donkey, and Elivan, who was standing in front of him, was also stunned for a moment, but he shrugged his shoulders, and then squatted down, and said to the apprentice who was paralyzed on the ground with a smile,

"Hey, I'll discuss something with you and take me to the black prison, okay?"

"No, please, no, don't kill me!"

The incoherent apprentice closed his eyes and waved his hands wildly, as if it was not Elivan standing in front of him, but a devil from the nine layers of hell.

This kind of resolute non-cooperation soon made Elivan lose patience, he looked left and right, fortunately this place was empty because of the "fire" accident more than ten days ago, no one saw him and the two mages entangled, simply lifted the apprentice's collar, pulled him up from the ground, and then pulled out the short sword in his boots, patted the apprentice on the cheek who was tightly closed and prayed, and said to him viciously,

"Either you take me to the Black Prison and I want me to kill you and that idiot, or you choose!

Ten minutes later, the idlers wandering back and forth on the streets of Sam City saw an incredible scene, a mage apprentice with a swollen left face walking in front with a long iron chain in his hand, and at the end of the chain was tied a young man wearing a long trench coat and a strange hat, who still looked like a little nobleman, but even if the young man was tied, he was still riding on his donkey uprightly, but the donkey with a black body and white mouth walked forward slowly, but from time to time he opened his mouth, showing his big white teeth, and scaring the children around him with his feet, and when the children cried, the donkey raised his head and screamed, like those idle little gangsters.

This pair of bizarre combinations naturally attracted the attention of many people, but due to the arrival of Princess Lea, there were indeed not too many people in the whole city, so after walking through the bustling business district, the two of them suddenly felt quiet, Elivan and the donkey walked quickly smelling the fragrance of flowers on the side of the road, and they didn't have the consciousness of being a prisoner at all, but the junior apprentice who had been silent since just now walked slower and slower, and fell directly behind Elivan,

"Mr. Mayne, am I really a piece of shit?"

A faint voice came from behind Eleven, and the question brought Elivan, who had been lazy, back to his senses, and he kicked the donkey that was still having fun, and stopped where he was, waiting for the little apprentice to come to him, and when the little one looked up, his eyes were already full of tears,

"No, child, if you are still angry at my rude words, then I sincerely apologize to you. ”

Looking at the little mage apprentice in front of him, who was probably eleven or twelve years old and almost a quarter less than his size, Elivan suddenly had a headache, he let out a long sigh, in fact, he also knew that the threatening words he had just made were indeed excessive, especially for a child.

"No, Mr. Mayne, you don't have to apologize, I don't even have the courage to raise my wand, I've been like this since I was a child, it's okay, I'm used to it, let's go, I'll send you to the Black Prison. ”

When the apprentice heard Elivan's apology, he shook his head vigorously, clenched his fists and lowered his head, his voice getting deeper and deeper.

Seeing his appearance, Eliven suddenly fell into a subtle sense of déjà vu, he seemed to see himself standing in the wolf wilderness five years ago, helpless, and could only watch Sas's body cool little by little with tears in his eyes, except for anger, only powerless.

"Whew..."

Elevenn let out a sigh of relief, looked left and right, and then sat down on the stone chair on the side of the road, and then put his chained hands on his upturned thighs, and the donkey next to him stared at Eleven's movements with big eyes, and then he simply curled up with four hooves, and also lay down next to the stone chair, and one person and one donkey squinted at the junior apprentice almost at the same time, and the latter immediately became helpless again under the gaze of these four eyes,

"What's your name, kid. ”

"Gandalf, Gandalf-Tomil, fifth son of the Tomil family. ”

"Uh... All right.. Dried tofu, oh no, Gandalf, come and sit here, you see, we still have a lot of time, tell your story, and by the way, help me light this cigarette. ”

"Oh, oh, okay"

“... Hmm..."

"Bastard! let you light a cigarette, didn't let you light my hair, damn it!"

"Yes... I'm sorry..."

So at noon in the summer when Sam City was not too hot, when the alleys on the other side of the city were empty, two little ones, one tall and one short, with completely opposite camps, but about the same age, sat on a stone chair and began to talk about life, and next to him lay a strange-looking donkey screaming and intimidating the children who passed by, while pricking up his long ears to listen to Gandalf tell his story.
