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 a metropolis that is second to none, but in the corners that are difficult for people to see, there are often things that cannot be moved to the table. 【Reading.com】

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

Of course, people with a little bit of identity and ability will not come here to drink, the owner of the bar has some economic minds, the positioning of the customer base is very clear, the most expensive wine in the whole bar is only a silver coin, and the bar girl of the guest ** is either wrinkled or extremely ugly, and the figure is even more dumbfounded, to be honest, this kind of woman wants to go in and apply for a job, she has to let the boss call out, she would rather have no hostess, and she can't make the guests disgusting and run! But here they were favored by the guests, and the business was very good, and from time to time pairs of people laughed and went upstairs.

But today, there was a big man in the bar, not to say how tall or big the man was, but how he was dressed, which proved the huge gap between the two classes. It was an old man who had been sitting at a table since dusk, drinking bad wine, wearing a silk robe, with many bright knick-knacks hanging from head to toe, most notably on his left hand, with three rings. And one of them is a space ring, not to mention seeing people who grew up in the slums, some of them have no idea 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, knocked 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. After a short conversation, or directly slap and boots to talk to the guests, the few remaining guests quickly ran out in a hurry.

The old man was still gulping down the bad wine 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 stepped forward and shouted, "Okay, you old fellow, it's a thief!" Then he tried to pull the three rings off.

The old man had an impatient look on his face, and the strong man turned into a lithe bird with his backhand. Flying out with a whoosh, perhaps it was the first taste of flying, it seemed that he was very incapable of adjusting 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, and his legs twitched a little, and he hung down softly, and as for what was on the other side of the wall, everyone could not see.

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

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

"What's the matter?" shouted the patrolman, his gaze swept over the hole in the wall and then landed on the two strong men, who looked like 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 guy, I asked him to pay for the drink, but not only did he not give it, but he hurt people, oh my God, poor Jimmy......" The boss stumbled over and 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 let go, the first to walk in were two heavily armed soldiers, the patrol captain couldn't help but show a shocked look, although they were all soldiers responsible for maintaining the security of the Holy City, but the gap between him and the other party was too big, he was just a patrol of the garrison, and the other party was the Holy City Praetorian Guard directly under the command of His Majesty the King.

The next person who walked in was also an old man, and the patrol captain was almost hairy when he saw the other party's face

He bowed 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 whispered, "Don't you want me to have a drink?"

The owner of the bar had stopped howling 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," said the patrol leader timidly.

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

"Your Excellency!" the patrol leader replied hurriedly, and then glanced at his men, the inexplicably unconscious barkeeper. 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 the 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 sighed, his face showing pain, "Manjusli has left, don't you know yet?"

"Yes, but Manchusli is Manchusli, you are two different things. Thor said lightly: "What's more, can Manjusli's careful eye hide from His Majesty?" hehe...... Don't say that Your Majesty, even an honest man like you 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 was such a fool as Manchusli for you to see the joke. Buzurea paused: "Saul, for the sake of decades of friendship, I don't ask you to do anything for me. Just ask you to tell the truth...... Is it really what Your Majesty meant?"

"Of course, you should also understand that my friends are 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. Buzuriano smiled bitterly: "In the past few years, our disciples have reached more than 800,000 people. Can Your Majesty really allow us to continue to unfold? He is not afraid that the followers of the Goddess of Nature will shake his rule in the future?"

"Hehe, Buzureano, you have always stayed in the Holy City. Isn't it because I'm worried about this kind of thing?"

"No, you're wrong, I always thought it was inevitable, and with His Majesty's character, Julande would definitely find a way to limit our show and even hit 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 thinks that in addition to basic requirements such as food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, civilians need to have a faith, and proper faith is more conducive to stability. Saul said solemnly: "Of course, the power of religion is also very terrifying, and the key depends on whose hands this power is in your hands, and you are very relieved of your majesty." ”

"What about me?"

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

Buzureano sighed lightly, leaning back in his chair and relaxing.

"Old friends wouldn't hide in this place and drink in a shoddy bar because they're worried about what His Majesty is doing?" said Saul with a laugh.

"No, I'm worried, that's a lie, and Manjusley's approach is so sad. 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, and I happened to return to the Central Temple, so I didn't let him succeed......! Afterwards, I took all my people to settle accounts with Manchusli, and Manshu intervened to force Manchusli to apologize to me, but I thought twice 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 and a secret for our druids, 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, and then I didn't dare to store the Heart of Nature in the Central Temple, and I would take it with me wherever I went." In the land of mercenaries, I met Slambergé, who told me that he had shown Morgan's traces and asked me for help, Thor, you know what kind of necromancer Morgan is, and if you want to deal with Morgan, be ready to sacrifice at any time. ”

"Did you really show up with 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, because of 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 the necromancer. I'll put

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

"But you didn't expect Ampy to fuse with the Heart of Nature?" Thor laughed.

"It's the ground. I never thought of fusion...... What an incredible thing this is!" Buzureano sighed, "It has been thousands of years since the last fusion saint-level powerhouse Dante was born. ”

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

"Yes, then Anfei might have lived a quieter life, and Manchusli wouldn't have pointed 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 and His Majesty Yoland. ”

"Aren't you the same?" Thor said lightly, "Dante was originally just a wandering beggar, and after merging with the heart of nature, he became a saint-level powerhouse in just ten years! His future achievements will surpass all of us, plus An Fei's teacher when he was a child, what does it mean for the 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 has volunteered several times to serve as the overseer of the Shield of Light. However, His Majesty Yolande never agreed, and in the end, he appointed Chris as the overseer, and I think An Fei's attitude played a big role in this. ”

"This is Your Majesty's domestic affairs, 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, Manjusli would not have been able to stop Suzanne properly. Buzureano said slowly: "Saul is very disappointed in his 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, I wouldn't have had so much trouble today when Manjusli first became the Wolf King!"

"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, and he was already calculating me. Buzureano said slowly: "Whether he succeeds or fails, he can use the power of His Majesty Yolande to destroy 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 been tolerating such unscrupulous Manjusli? Anfei has merged with the heart of nature, and he has become a messenger of the gods to you, but Manjusli dares to attack Anfei, this kind of behavior is crazy." Don't say that you, even Manchusley was furious, he pretended to grant Manchusley's request, and then immediately passed on Manchusley's plan to us, but luckily with his help, otherwise we would have been overstretched here. ”

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

"I never asked you who gave 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 and smiled, not continuing to ask.

"Don't you want to remind your future son-in-law, just watch him make mistakes?" Buzureano knew that Sol must have felt some revenge, and turned the subject to something that Sol obviously 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 that he Philip has pledged allegiance to West, and the pressure on him is too great, so he is gullible to Manchusley's promise. ”

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

"Further cooperation?"

"In the Elven Race, 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 Manjusli, 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.
