861. Bad situation
The letter of summons from the Archon of Florion was on Surdak's table, but he did not feel half honored.
Unexpectedly, the group of magicians in the Magic Guild actually found the Marquis of Florian, the consul of Wilkes City, through their connections, and last month, the Marquis of Florion also hosted a banquet in Wilkes City to entertain Hathaway and Beatrice.
Hathaway arrives in Dodan and tells Surdak about Uncle Florion, who is said to be on good terms with the Marquis of Luthor.
Surdak didn't expect him to become a lobbyist for Christopher the Magician.
However, Surdak really had no way to refuse the invitation of the Archon Wilkes......
I didn't expect this wave of the Magic Guild to come so violently, Surdak thought about it, and wrote in his reply:
'Marquis de Florion, it is a great honour to receive your invitation, and I will be visiting you at the town hall tomorrow morning! Commander of the Separate Cavalry Battalion of the Luthor Regiment, Viscount Surdak. ’
The attendant in charge of delivering the letter immediately returned to Wilkes City Hall with the letterhead.
……
The next morning Surdak rode through the market to the gate of Wilkes City Hall, where he led his horse to the guard at the gate and showed him the summons letter from the Marquis de Florion.
The guard carried the summons letter and led Surdak into the town hall, and when he passed through the first gate, there was a groom who had come to lead the horses.
Wilkes Town Hall is far more imposing than the City Hall of Herlanza, with semi-open inner and outer cloisters lining the entire building, all of which are decorated with elaborate motifs.
Surdak walked for a quarter of an hour before he was led by the guards to the office of the Archon of Florion on the third floor.
…… Knock.
Upon receiving a response, Surdak cautiously pushed the door open and walked into the room.
The office of the Archon of Florion is very magnificent, and it can be said that the decoration of the room is almost everywhere with gold ornamentation.
When Surdak entered, the secretary of the Archon of Florion waited inside, and led Surdak to a meeting room, where the attendants entered and laid the refreshments on the table.
It didn't take long to see the consul of Wilkes City.
It can be said that the Archon of Florion is a great nobleman who holds real power in the hands of the Belin plane.
He was wearing leather armor with a minimalist pattern, which looked very casual.
Surdak, however, could see the quaint smell of the leather armor.
The Archon of Florion was a very handsome middle-aged man, his pale blonde curls were neatly trimmed, and he exuded a kind of momentum that only a Bena swordsman had, and he asked, "You are Surdak?" Sit down, no wonder you can bring such a cavalry battalion that can fight, I heard that you are also a knight yourself? ”
In the province of Bena, the most famous is the Bena Swordsmen, so cavalry is not as valued as in other provinces.
"Yes, Lord Archon!" Surdak hurriedly replied.
"You can call me Uncle Florian, Ferdinand and I studied together at the Swordsman Academy for four years, when we were as young as you, and then we each returned to the family to do things, but we often wrote to each other in private." As soon as the Archon of Florion opened his mouth, he played the card of affection.
Surdak hurriedly sat up straight, and his hanging heart was half down.
Since the Lord Archon was a classmate of Marquis Luthor when he was younger, he had a much better chance of being taken care of.
"I don't need to say too much about calling you here this time, you should know what I'm going to say......"
The Archon of Florion looked helpless and said:
"Now this matter is so bad, Wilkes City is not at peace, I shouldn't have interfered in this matter, I just hope it can be ended as soon as possible, I hope you can think about it again when you make a decision, everything must be focused on the overall situation of Wilkes City."
After saying this, the Archon of Florion raised an eyebrow at Surdak and said, "These words are what I must say, some things are entrusted by people, and there are human feelings mixed in here. ”
"My personal position is still in favor of you on this matter." He smiled kindly and leaned over to pat Surdak on the shoulder.
Then his voice changed and he said, "But the other party is a very prestigious alchemist in the Wilkes wizarding world, his students are all over the various magic industries in Wilkes City, and now the entire magic union is supporting Christopher Magician. ”
"Those members of the House of Representatives, although most of them are also noble lords, should support you, but the current situation is ...... If they don't support you, they won't have anything to lose, but if they don't support Christopher Magician, if they want to buy a magic pattern build in the future, they will probably have to run to Pena City. ”
The Archon of Florion finally said:
"So I remind you that you must be mentally prepared...... The second reconsideration of the House of Representatives may award that territory to Christopher Magician. ”
Surdak sat in his chair and did not refuse the offer of the Archon of Floreon, but he did not agree either.
I didn't expect this Christopher magician to get the official formalities of Invercargill Forest in Wilkes City.
He stayed with the Archon of Florion for a short while, and then left the town hall.
……
The streets of the town hall are lined with trees on both sides, and Surdak is not in a hurry to ride back to the hotel, so he leads his horse forward in the street.
He was very burly, and he also looked very warrior, and when he walked down the long street, he saw the women on the street saluting Surdak one after another.
The Gubolai horse he was leading was not honest either, constantly poking out his thick lips and secretly nibbling on the flowers in the pool.
Feeling a sense of oppression overhead, I saw dozens of magicians riding magic handlebars and flying ultra-low altitude against the roof.
A magician whistled low in the sky of the long street, causing the citizens to whisper.
Just when Surdak hesitated slightly, this group of magicians riding magic handles actually drew a graceful and neat arc on the long street, and flew towards Surdak again, and then this group of magicians hovered above Surdak's head one after another, as if they were coming specifically for Surdak.
The magic streamer on it kept flowing......
After these magicians stopped the magic handles, they lined up in a figure of eight on the left and right sides.
A magician landed in front of Surdak on a magic handle, he didn't speak as politely as the Archon of Florion, maybe he was in a high position in the Magic Guild, and he usually looked down on a little aristocratic lord like Surdak.
Even when he spoke, he didn't use any honorifics, and he said, "You are Surdak?" Now the magicians of the whole Wilkes City don't welcome you, you say...... What exactly are you holding onto? ”
"I heard that you are the commander of the cavalry battalion of the Luther Legion, I must remind you that you may bring a lot of unnecessary trouble to the Marquis of Luther in this way, and his two constructing swordsmen will need to repair the magic pattern constructs and magic weapons in the future......"
"Offend our Wilkes City's Magic Guild, and in the future, your legion's Constructed Swordsmen will not want to repair magical equipment in the White Forest Plane......"
Surdak didn't expect that the other party would say this in public.
