Chapter 237: The Inspectorate
In the cold winter night, the Star Palace, which is not covered by a roof, even if there is a magic array that exudes warmth at all times, is still inevitably a little bleak and gloomy. Especially at this moment.
"Young Master should have left the jurisdiction of the Holy Courtyard by now, right?" As long as there are no outsiders around, Xia Ida will return to her well-behaved and lovely appearance.
"Hmm......" Layla nodded slightly.
"Sister," Xia Ida looked at Ruiko, "You say, will the young master really give up on himself as his father said?"
"How can it be ......," Ruiko said with a smile, "Don't worry, even if everyone gives up, he won't." ”
Shaida looked at Ruiko suspiciously, and subconsciously felt that Ruikou's judgment might not be accurate, or that the other Shaida in this body was sneering at Ruikou. However, under the control of powerful elven magic, she still believed the half-elf girl's statement with difficulty, and said lightly: "I heard that the conditions of the superintendent society are very difficult......
"It's okay," Layla comforted softly, "I saw Una walking with the young master, with her to take care of her, the young master won't have to work hard." ”
"Una?" Ruiko frowned, "She went with the young master?"
"That's right," Layla replied with a smile, "So Miss don't worry about the young master." ”
Ruiko's brow furrowed even tighter.
"Now, my sister is worried......" Shaida nudged Layla, who suddenly realized.
"Layla," Rick said suddenly, "you go to St. Petersburg to take care of the young master, next month, no, you will leave in a few days!"
"Keep an eye on that goblin," Shaida added duly, "Don't let her seduce the young master away......"
"Hmm!" Layla nodded heavily.
......
The cable car flew through the clouds, the clouds beneath its feet and the surrounding mountains slowly receding, only the sound of the wind whistling in the ears reminded of the terrifying speed at the moment.
The slings on the roof of the cable car were completely tilted by the speeding cable car - as Donner expected, the criss-crossing cables only served as a guide, and did not carry the weight of the cable car.
On the top of the peaks of the mountains, the buildings that are faintly visible have changed from red to yellow, which belongs to the color of the Earth Sacred Temple.
This is the third time in a few months that Downer has taken this route.
Unlike the previous two trips back and forth to the Demon Hunt assessment site, this time, Donner had ended several months of house arrest, and there was a bit of a thrill of coming out of the cage.
Only Wesley secretly complained.
In front of the escort (actually escort) mage and Una, he needs to play the role of a demon pet at all times, and he can't relax for a moment.
Donner knew he was working hard, so, as soon as he arrived at the Miracle Plains, he asked to ride in a carriage alone with his pet.
The moment he got into the carriage, Wesley rolled his eyes like a goldfish dying of dehydration. If he hadn't been afraid to hear it, he would have probably cursed all the swear words he knew.
But Donner just shrugged his shoulders, and the implication was that whoever told you to ask for your own hardship had to run to the Magic Continent.
In fact, Donner was very touched by Wesley's danger to come to him. It's just that with the personalities of the two of them, these things will only be remembered silently in their hearts, and they still have hippie smiles on their faces, and even laugh at each other.
After another three days, the group finally entered St. Petersburg.
In terms of the size and environment of the city, St. Petersburg is a bit like the capital of the Femon Empire, Koenas.
It is also a historic ancient city, and it is also built along the river, but the biggest difference is that the walls of St. Petersburg are higher and more majestic, and the traces of the magic circle can be faintly seen.
Regardless of the question, this holy city has no enemies, and the walls are used to deal with the beast tide.
In the center of the entire holy city, the towering gold-domed building must be the holy place of the Church of Light, the Cathedral of Light.
As the carriage walked along the old stone pavement, Donner looked through the open curtains at the restaurants, inns, auction houses, and associations along the way.
The Magic Array Association, the Magic Potion Association, and even the Monster Breeding Association are all tall and luxurious buildings.
So much so that when the carriage stopped in front of a small dilapidated building on the banks of the St. Francis River, Donner had to rub his eyes repeatedly to confirm that this building, which had fallen into disrepair and had almost become a dilapidated building, was the destination of his trip, the Superintendent.
The mage who was in charge of escorting Donner, who seemed to be quite tired of Donner's "hesitation", took the initiative to walk to the door of the small building and knocked a few times.
Not long after, a mediocre-looking young woman opened the door.
"You are ......"
"We're coming from the Fire Sacred Courtyard," the white-robed mage who had just knocked on the door said in a polite tone, "Is Lord Grantis back?"
"Oh...... Which of you is John Smith?"
Donner immediately walked up: "Hello, I'm John Smith. ”
"Hello hello, I'm Brenda, Venerable Vincent's assistant......"
Brenda looked Donner up and down, she hadn't seen such a young man walk into such an old building since she had been hired by the Superintendent six years ago, let alone such a young and handsome young man.
Donner was a little uncomfortable with Brenda until the white-robed mage who was escorting him coughed dryly.
"Oh," Brenda reacted, "Come in, come in, I'll take you to Lord Grantis......"
Donner and the white-robed mage then followed Brenda into the dimly lit building, and then stepped on the creaking stairs to the door of the guild's office on the third floor.
An older lady was sitting at her desk in front of the president's office, sorting through a stack of materials.
Brenda tapped lightly on her table, avoiding Donner's eyebrows before she spoke:
"This is the Elder's assistant, Miss Nancy. Nancy, this is John Smith, and this is ......"
Before she finished her introduction, Grantis's voice was already ringing in the office in the inner room (you can see how poor the soundproofing of the room is):
"Is John coming......"
Then, after the sound of something being knocked over, President Grantis's unkempt gray head poked out of the door.
"Nancy, come in and clean up......" Grantis commanded in a low voice, squeezing his way out of the half-open door.
Donner accidentally caught a glimpse of the door almost piled up with all kinds of books and manuscript papers, no wonder Grantis had to squeeze out in embarrassment.
"My lord, I'm here. He bent down respectfully.
"Good, good. Grant nodded, his face flushed.
At this time, probably because they heard the movement, a few more people came from the other offices on the second and third floors.
"Is this John, my lord?" someone asked.
"Yes," Grantis said with a smile, "Come, John, let me introduce you, this is the vice president of the association, Master Vincent, this is the vice president of the association, Master Haring, this is ......"
Grantis introduced a total of four people, all of whom were vice presidents of the Society of Overseers - and Donner later learned that the four vice presidents, plus Grantis, were all full members of the Society of Overseers, and of course he was now being added.
"Master Grantis," the mage who was escorting Donner began, "John, I'll send it here, please sign it here." As he spoke, he took out a piece of letter from his bosom.
Donner secretly scolded himself that it was almost as if the goods had been safely delivered and the guests had signed for them.
