There must be shadows under the light, and the Holy City, as the political and economic center of the Ma Empire, can be regarded as the largest metropolis on the mainland, but in the corners that people rarely see, there are also things that cannot be moved to the table. [No pop-up novel network]

In the northwest corner of the holy city, there is a small nameless bar, most of the customers here are poor people living in the nearby slums, the business can not be said to be good, but it cannot be said that it is bad, because the poor eggs are not qualified to be picky, the general profiteers are to mix water into the wine, but the owner here is to mix wine into the water, although the price of the wine is very low, but compared with the poor cost, there is still some profit.

Of course, a little bit of identity, a little ability of people will not come here to drink, the owner of the bar is a little economical, the positioning of the customer group is very clear, the most expensive wine in the whole bar is only a silver coin, and the guest ** of the bar girl is not wrinkled, or extremely ugly, the figure is even more stunned, to be honest, change to a bar in other places, this kind of woman wants to go in to apply, you have to let the boss call out, I would rather no hostess, can not make the guests disgusting to run! But here, they are favored by the guests, and the business is very good, and from time to time pairs of people laugh and touch the upstairs.

But today there was a big man in the bar, not because of how tall or big the man was, but because he was dressed as a testament to the huge gap between the two classes. It was an old man, who had been sitting at the table since dusk, drinking bad wine, wearing a silk robe, and from head to toe hung a number of bright knick-knacks, and the most striking thing was his left hand, which actually wore three rings. And one of them is a space ring, not to mention seeing it, some people who grew up in the slums don't know that there is such a magical thing in the world, and the owner of the bar certainly knows, so he behaves very carefully.

The night was getting deeper. There were fewer and fewer customers, and the owner of the bar seemed a little nervous, hesitated for a long time, sent away all the waitresses who had come to leisure, and then pushed open the wooden door of the bar, and walked out, and in a short time, three strong men walked into the bar in turn. First he looked at the old man, then walked separately to the few remaining guests, and after a short conversation, or directly with a slap and leather boots, he quickly let the few remaining guests run out in a hurry.

The old man drank as if he didn't know anything. The three strong men glanced at each other and walked slowly towards the old man, and the owner of the bar also came in through the door, carefully closing the door tightly. It's also locked.

"Hey!" a strong man suddenly reached out and slapped the table.

The old man still didn't look up, and the owner of the bar smiled: "This old guy has almost drunk half a barrel of wine, and I guess he doesn't even know who he is now." ”

"Huh, isn't this our master's ring?!" a strong man took a step forward and shouted, "Okay, old fellow, it turns out to be a thief!" Then he tried to pull the three rings off.

The old man had an impatient look on his face, and with his backhand, the strong man turned into a light bird. Flying out with a whoosh, perhaps the first taste of flying, it seemed that he was very lacking in the ability to adjust his direction, and in the blink of an eye, he slammed his head into the wall of the bar, knocking out a big hole in the wooden wall, but his waist was stuck in the hole, his legs twitched, and he hung down softly, as for what was on the other side of the wall, everyone could not see.

The remaining two strong men were frightened and hurriedly took a few steps back, and the owner of the bar was stunned for a moment, and suddenly shouted: "Come on, come on, someone is drunk and crazy and kill!!"

It was also a coincidence that a patrol team happened to walk nearby, attracted by the screams of the bar owner, and knocked on the wooden door while identifying himself, and the boss rushed to the vicinity of the wooden door like a monkey, trying to open the lock that had just been fastened on the ground, but he was too flustered, and his fingers were a little disobedient, and he couldn't open the door for a long time, but the patrol outside was impatient to wait, and broke the door directly, and the boss was knocked on his back to the sky.

"What's going on?" cried the patrolling leader, his gaze swept over the hole in the wall before falling on the two strong men, who seemed to him to be murderers.

"Ouch......" The boss groaned and got up from the ground, pointing at the old man who was still drinking: "My lord, it's the old fellow, I asked him to pay for the drink, but not only did he not give it, but he also hurt people, oh my God, poor Jimmy......" The boss stumbled over, hugged his companion's limp legs and cried bitterly.

The patrol captain's eyes fell on the old man, first observed the other party's clothes, walked over slowly, and said politely: "Your Excellency!"

"Don't bother him. A very gentle voice came in from outside.

The patrol captain was stunned for a moment, turned around and looked out, and his team members hula out of the way, the first to walk in were two heavily armed soldiers, the patrol captain couldn't help but show a shocked look, although they are all soldiers responsible for maintaining the security of the Holy City, but the gap between him and the other party is too big, he is just a patrol of the garrison, and the other party is the Holy City Janissary directly under the command of His Majesty the King.

Then an old man walked in, and the patrol captain saw the other party's face, and his hair was almost dying

Bent down respectfully: "Lord Thor." ”

Thor waved his hand, walked slowly to the old man who was still drinking the wine, was silent for a moment, took off his robe, put it on the back of the chair, and then sat down opposite the old man, and said softly, "Don't you want me to have a drink?"

The owner of the bar had stopped crying after Thor came in, and when he heard that the person who came was the famous Thor, his face turned white with fright, and now he saw Thor asking the nameless old man to drink, so he simply tilted his head and fainted to the ground, their target turned out to be a friend of the great magician Thor, and this kind of consequence was not something they could afford.

"Lord Thor, ...... here," the patrol leader said timidly.

"Go out first, and don't interfere with us. ”

"Yes, sir!" replied the patrol captain, and then glanced at his men, the inexplicably unconscious bar owner. The two strong men, who were shaking like chaff, had told him enough.

Several patrolmen rushed up and dragged the two strong men and the owner of the bar out, and the bar became quiet, and the old man finally took his attention off his glass. Slowly raised his head: "Is His Majesty Yolande going to do it?"

"Buzureano, I don't understand what you mean. Thor laughed.

"Alas......" Buzureano let out a long sigh, a look of pain on his face: "Manchusli has left, don't you know yet?"

"Yes, but Manjusli is Manjusley, and you are you, two different things. Thor said lightly: "What's more, can Manjusli's careful eye hide from His Majesty?" hehe...... Don't say Your Majesty, even you, an honest man, should know what he wants to do. ”

"For thousands of years. We druids have always been very united, but I didn't expect that now there is such a fool as Manjusli to make you see the joke. Buzurea paused: "Thor, for the sake of decades of friendship, I don't ask you to do anything for me. Just ask you to tell the truth, which ...... Is it really what Your Majesty meant?"

"Of course, you should also know me, friends to friends. If Your Majesty does make a decision, I will not harm the interests of the entire empire because of the friendship between you and me. ”

"I ...... Some couldn't believe it. Buzureano smiled bitterly: "Thor, in the past few years, our sect has grown to more than 800,000 people. Can Your Majesty really allow us to continue to develop? He is not afraid that the believers of the Land of the Goddess of Nature will shake his rule in the future?"

"Hehe, Buzureano, you have been staying in the Holy City. Isn't it because you're worried that this will happen?"

"No, you are wrong, I always thought that it was inevitable, and with the character of His Majesty Yoland, he would definitely find a way to limit our development, and even strike us. Buzureano said slowly: "I just hope that I can exchange my sincerity for His Majesty's forgiveness and limit our losses to a certain range." ”

"You don't know Your Majesty, Your Majesty believes that in addition to the basic requirements of food, clothing, shelter and transportation, the common people also need faith, and proper faith is more conducive to stability. Sol said solemnly: "Of course, the power of religion is also very terrifying, the key depends on whose hands this power is in its hands, for you, Your Majesty is very relieved." ”

"What about me?"

"It's too far away to talk about this...... It doesn't seem necessary. ”

Buzureano let out a sigh of relief, leaning back in his chair.

"Old friend, wouldn't you hide in this place to drink in a shoddy bar because you're worried about what Your Majesty will do?" Saul laughed.

"It's a lie to say no, and it's so sad that Manjusli is doing it. Buzureano sighed, "Thor, do you know why Manjusli is dealing with Anfei?"

"I can guess about it. Thor nodded, "Heart of Nature?"

"Yes. Buzureano said in a deep voice, "In the past, the Heart of Nature had been stored in the Central Temple, but Manjusli had bad intentions and sent his men to attack the temple in an attempt to snatch the Heart of Nature...... Afterwards, I took all my people to settle accounts with Manchusli, and Mangshu intervened to force Manchusli to apologize to me, and I thought twice about it, and finally let him go. ”

"And this kind of thing, why don't I know anything about it?" said Thor in surprise.

"It's a shame for us druids, and it's a secret, no one is going to go out and talk nonsense, you don't know it's normal. Buzureano said slowly: "It's all my fault, but I didn't dare to store the Heart of Nature in the Central Temple anymore, and I would take it with me wherever I went." In the land of mercenaries, I met Slambergé, and he told me that he had found Morgan's traces and asked me for help, Thor, you also know what kind of necromancer Morgan is, and if you want to deal with Morgan, you must be ready to sacrifice at any time. ”

"Did you really find Morgan?

"Later, instead of finding Morgan, I found Morgan's student, Annasita, and you know all these things. Buzureano smiled: "I have a lot of friends, but there are only a few who can make friends, and among them is you." When I met Anfei's children, due to Morgan's threat, I felt that I should hand over the Heart of Nature to a reliable person for safekeeping, at least not let the Heart of Nature fall into the hands of a necromancer, so. I'll put

I gave my heart to Anfei, and I hope he will pass it on to you, among all my friends. ”

"But you didn't expect that Anfei would be able to merge with the Heart of Nature?" Thor laughed.

"It's the ground. I never imagined that the fusion ...... What an incredible thing this is!" Buzureano sighed, "The last time it was fused, the birth of the saint-level powerhouse Dante, it has been thousands of years now. ”

"I can only think of this as the arrangement of the god of fate, if you don't give the heart of nature to An Fei, nothing will happen. ”

"Yes, then Anfei might live a quieter life, and Manjusli won't point the finger at him. ”

"Ann Fei, that kid...... It's not a person who can calm down. Thor laughed, "I know him well. ”

"You know more than him. You also value him, as well as His Majesty Yoland. ”

"Aren't you the same?" Thor said lightly: "Dante turned out to be just a wandering beggar, and after merging with the heart of nature, in just ten years, he became a saint-level powerhouse! His achievements in the future will surpass all of us, plus An Fei's teacher when he was a child, what does it mean for two saint-level powerhouses? Who can not value them?!"

"Just attention?" Buzureano laughed, "That's not enough to sum up what His Majesty Yolande thinks. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Grandon volunteered several times to serve as the overseer of the Shield of Light. However, His Majesty Yolande never agreed, and finally appointed Chris as a prisoner, and I think Anfei's attitude played a big role in this. ”

"This is His Majesty's domestic matter, let's change the subject. Thor whispered.

"Huh...... Saul. In fact, your performance is also very ambiguous. ”

"Me?" Thor frowned.

Without the help of others, Manchusli would not have been able to stop Suzanne properly. Buzureano said slowly: "Saul, very disappointed in your future son-in-law, right?"

"Buzzurellano, Buzzurellano. I've always considered you a loyal brother!" Thor smiled wryly.

"You read that right. Buzureano made a joke, but a cold light flashed in his eyes: "If I hadn't been too loyal, and ruined Manjusli when he first became the Wolf King, I wouldn't have had so much trouble today!"

"It's not too late. Thor said softly: "The key is, whether you can be ruthless or not when the time comes." ”

"Manchusli kept me in the dark, he was already calculating me. Buzureano said slowly: "Whether he succeeds or fails, he can use the hand of His Majesty Yolande to destroy the power of my temple, do you think I can still let him go?"

"If only you could think like that. Saul laughed, "I've always wondered why you and Mangshu's abilities have always tolerated such unscrupulous Manjusli? Anfei has merged with the Heart of Nature, and for you, he has become a messenger of the gods, but Manjusli dares to attack Anfei, this kind of behavior is crazy." Don't talk about you, even Manchu was very angry, he pretended to agree to Manchusli's request, and then immediately passed on Manchusley's plan to us, fortunately with his help, otherwise we would be overstretched here. ”

"Manchusli had a good wife. Buzureano smiled bitterly: "Don't underestimate the power of the elven clan, Manchusli's wife is an elder of the elven clan, and she has a lot of power, with her help, Manjusli will be where he is today." ”

"I haven't asked you, who instructed you to give An Fei a few elven maids? I know this is definitely not what you came up with. ”

"This ...... Just to let Anfei master the magic of nature faster. ”

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. ”

Thor nodded, smiled, and didn't go any further.

"Thor, don't you want to remind your future son-in-law, just watch him make mistakes?" Buzzuriano knew that Thor must have found something, and retaliated by turning the subject to something Thor clearly didn't want to talk about.

"It's not that I don't remind, but Your Majesty wants to see everyone's true nature. Saul said lightly: "For me, I can understand him, Philip has already pledged his allegiance to West, and he is under too much pressure, so he believes Manchusli's promise." ”

"See the true nature, what can you see clearly when you force people to the point where the dog jumps over the wall?" Buzureano smiled sarcastically, and then saw Saul's face was gloomy, knowing that Saul was disgusted by anyone talking about Yolande in a sarcastic tone in front of him, he sighed lightly and changed the subject: "Your Majesty's magnanimity is touching, and I think it is necessary for us to start further cooperation." ”

"Further cooperation?"

"Within the elves, the Fountain of Life is in charge of the Queen. ”

Thor was stunned: "Don't you tell me that the Elven Queen is on your side?"

"You guessed it. Buzureano smiled: "The Queen has always been disgusted with Manchusley, so she will support me." ”

"I think...... The Elven Queen is more disgusted by Manghusli's wife, right?" "You're right again. Buzureano nodded helplessly.
