Chapter 342: Magician?
In the morning, Jose and Alok were in the county warden's mansion as usual to discuss some recent matters in the county. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
In the past few days, Gray has not come to trouble José again, and the news of José's breaking into the city quickly spread among the army, which made him, the general of the Northwest Army, feel a little ugly on his face. However, after two days of temporary wooden stakes at the gate to serve as a city defense, the Northwest Army soon built a new gate, which is said to have been supervised by Gray himself.
So for the past few days, José has been busy taking over the affairs of Sadland. After all, a county town is not big or small, and there are still hundreds of thousands of people who need to be decided by José, the county guard.
However, at this moment, a guard outside the gate came to report that it was a visitor from outside the county guard's mansion, claiming to be from the imperial capital of Gilliat, because he had been entrusted by his teacher to come to the northwest to seek refuge with Lord Joseph.
When Joseph heard this, he immediately thought of the words of the mysterious and famous scholar Master Kant, who told himself when he left the imperial capital that he had chosen a suitable disciple to come to the northwest to help him. I hadn't seen this recommended guy in the imperial capital before, and after I came to Valen City, no one seemed to come to look for me.
So when Jose heard the news, he couldn't help but light up immediately, and then asked the guard who reported it: "Didn't that guy say anything else besides these words?"
"No, sir, that's all that man said. The guard who reported thought for a moment before he said with some hesitation: "But the person who came was dressed very strangely, he was wearing a thick robe, and even his head and face were covered, so I couldn't see his appearance." The voice of the words is also quirky and weird, and if he hadn't said that he had come to seek refuge with the adults, we would have driven that guy away. Moreover, this guy seems to have a badge on his chest, a magician badge!"
"What, Wizard Badge, do you mean this guy is a magician?
"I can see it clearly, after all, a powerful guy like a magician can't be casually impersonated, and such a badge shouldn't look fake. And that guy is dressed so strangely, and he looks taciturn, but he is very similar to that kind of old-fashioned ...... An unusual Mr. Magician. The guard then realized that the adult in his family was also a magician, and he originally wanted to say "a magician with a strange temperament", but when the words came to his mouth, he quickly changed them to "Mr. Magician with an unusual temperament".
However, Joseph didn't have the heart to think about these things at the moment, he couldn't help but think in his heart: that Master Kant has always acted strangely, if it was really the student he taught, it wouldn't be strange to look like this, but this student of his was still a magician?!
Hearing this, Alok on the side couldn't help but glance at Jose with some surprise, and then Jose recovered his mind and explained with a faint smile: "When I was in the imperial capital before, I met a very knowledgeable wise man, and when he knew that I was about to take up my post in Sadland, he recommended one of his disciples to me, saying that he could come to the northwest to assist me in managing the affairs of Sadland.
Hmph, it's just that what I didn't expect was that this guy actually had a magician apprentice, which is really interesting!"
"Erudite wise man?" Arok understood a little when he heard this, but he immediately frowned and said, "Is this person trustworthy?" As far as I know, although those scholars in the imperial capital are erudite, they should not know much about government affairs, right, would it be a little inappropriate to use such a person's disciple as a staff member or something?"
Joseph shook his head and said, "I'm not worried about this, because this wise man is not an ordinary fellow, his fame is very great in the imperial capital, and I have visited him personally." This old man is not only erudite, but has also talked to me about the future situation in the northwest, and he is a wise man with vision and foresight. I'm sure the guy he recommended shouldn't let me down. ”
When Joseph said this, he couldn't help muttering in his heart, Master Kant was a guy who once served as the emperor's teacher, and his fame in the imperial capital was greater than that of ordinary dukes, and the ability of such a guy was absolutely undoubted.
However, Alok still hesitated, after all, Joseph was now in Sadland and was under the control of the Northwest Army. Although this guy said that he was here to take refuge with him, his identity has not yet been determined, in case it is a spy or assassin sent by the Northwest Army...... A mage assassin is an absolutely dangerous being, and these vague words always make people hesitate.
After listening to Allocke's words, Joseph was not worried that this person was fake, after all, whether he visited Master Kant or not, he told himself that these things would definitely not be known to the Northwest Army. And even if the other party really had bad intentions, he was also a magician, and he was definitely not so cautious in his own territory, so he still decided to let the guard bring the visitor to the backyard.
After the escort received the order, he took the guy into the small hall in the backyard after a while.
The guy was dressed very strangely, as the guard described, wearing a thick robe, with no visible skin on his body, and even a thick turban wrapped around his head, showing only a pair of eyes and nose.
At this time, Jose noticed that this guy really had a magician badge on his chest, and it was indeed a real magician's badge from the appearance!
Even though he knew that this guy would not be sent by the Northwest Army, Qiao Se couldn't help but muttered a little in his heart when he saw this guy's dress.
"You're the guy who claims to have come to me?" José squinted his eyes at the man in front of him, who looked of medium height and build, with no special features on his body, and looked a bit of a Western alien.
When the man heard Joseph's words, he seemed to laugh for a moment, and then he slowly spoke, "Yes, you must be the Master Joseph that the teacher mentioned to me, right?"
Jose frowned, this guy's voice sounded sharp and sharp, and it seemed to be a little feminine, and it was really weird. This made Jose a little surprised, if this guy was really a disciple of Master Kant, how could he look so weird?
