Volume 15 Chapter 4 [Audience with the City Lord]
Volume 15, Chapter 4 [Meeting the City Lord]
When she woke up, Hana felt refreshed and had a special feeling, as if her whole person was refreshed, and at the same time, she smelled a foul smell from her body, which made her frightened and blushed, and out of female instinct, she immediately began to boil water and take a bath.
When Wang Rui saw her, he originally wanted to tell her that he was going to meet the city lord of Fire Phoenix City, but as soon as Han Na saw him, her face changed drastically and she fled shyly, which made Wang Rui stunned for a while.
After feeling her physical condition, there was nothing abnormal, and seeing that she was boiling bath water, he immediately understood, and left the mansion with a smile.
There was already a beautiful two-horse car waiting at the door of the mansion outside, and Wang Rui, under the guidance of his subordinates, walked out of the mansion and saw the carriage and a group of guards around it.
Many of the barbarians of the city looked at him with curiosity in the streets, and Colloe and a tall, well-proportioned, handsome and heroic female guard were waiting for him.
"Master Wang, this is Aurora, the captain of the city lord's guard." When Kolo saw Wang Rui, he introduced the woman next to him.
Wang Rui clasped his fists at the Aurora female guard and said, "Wang Wei, a man of the mountains and wilderness, has seen the chief of the guard!"
Aurora looked at him with scrutiny, clenched his fists a little coldly and said, "Aurora has seen Master Wang."
The two looked at each other slightly, and they both saw each other's distrust.
"Master Wang, can I go to see the city lord now?" Chloe asked, breaking the deadlock.
Wang Rui nodded, and then got into the carriage, Alola got on a black armored war horse, and she herself was wearing a silver soft armor, and after riding on the horse, she suddenly showed the demeanor of a female general.
The carriage moved forward in the envious eyes of the people on both sides of the street, and there were many guards to maintain order along the way, which showed that this audience ceremony was still very grand, after all, Wang Rui was a master, and for Fire Phoenix City, it was the supreme existence second only to the city lord.
The City Lord's Mansion is in the north of the city, not far from Wang Rui's mansion, and it is only a few miles away, but it is not enough for this section of the road to walk slowly, it seems that Kolo and Aurora deliberately did so, and even deliberately detoured the road.
Wang Rui's mind was quick, and he immediately speculated that it was estimated that the current Fire Phoenix City was not calm and under pressure, so it was very important to invite Wang Rui to join, and at the same time, it was also necessary to show the strength of the Fire Phoenix City to the outside and tell those potential opponents that they had been greatly enhanced.
About an hour later, the carriage finally came to the city lord's mansion, where several rows of elite guards stood there, and the antique gray-white castle building stood not far away, Wang Rui's divine sense saw this scene and was very interested in this exotic building.
After getting out of the carriage, Wang Rui saw that the ground was covered with a beautiful red carpet, and at the same time, a large group of people who looked like they were either rich or noble came to Wang Rui surrounded by several powerful people.
The barbarian man led by him was a little shorter and fatter, but he was also nearly a head taller than Wang Rui, he seemed to have relaxed his muscles a lot because of his too comfortable life, and his figure was out of shape, but a pair of eyes still retained his wolf nature, looking like a falcon. Fun Cabinet
The people next to him can be roughly divided into two parts, civil and military, to assist him in dealing with internal affairs and military, the dynasty of the barbarians is actually relatively loose, although there is also a relationship between the upper and lower levels, but the autonomy is great, unlike Dongxuanzhou, in the face of the upper sect, the lower sect is almost step-by-step, and even the upper sect is constantly plundering resources and talents.
Here, a city is a small country, as long as these city lords are loyal to the superior city lord or even the lord of the country at the right time.
There was one person on the left and right next to the fat city lord who attracted Wang Rui's attention, and the fat man's right hand should be the head of his Wenchen, a blonde old man with a big back, his body was emaciated, and his face was wrinkled, much older than the village chief Mo Cha, but it seemed to have nothing to do with the strength of the barbarians. However, he was tall, about eight feet. The strength is also six levels of qi training, and there is a kind of momentum that has been in the top position for a long time.
Inside, he wore an off-white waistcoat and long-sleeved shirt, an olive green trench coat, gray-white trousers, and a pair of black unknown animal skin boots on his feet.
To the left of the fat city lord was a tall black-faced soldier, about nine feet tall, almost like a black iron tower. The muscles of both arms are extremely developed, one arm is thicker than Wang Rui's thighs, and the chest and abdominal muscles can still feel its outline even if they are covered with armor.
"Master Wang, it's been a long time, I've heard Kolo talk about you for a long time, I didn't expect to finally see you today, in the Chin Puro, the city lord of Fire Phoenix City, this is the sheriff chief Crecha on my right, and the city guard general Gaius on the right, welcome to your arrival!" The city lord fat man is very eloquent, and Corporal Lixian has done a very good job, taking the initiative to take the lead in saluting, and the rest of the people can only do the same.
Wang Rui calmly accepted the salute, this is the strength of the cultivator, no matter where in the four continents, the status of the cultivator is above that of mortals.
Although Papro and the others are very noble among the common people, their cultivation is at most a master, but a master is enough to determine the ownership of a fourth-level city, which is the status determined by the law of strength.
Wang Rui didn't hold it big after receiving a salute, and immediately put down the shelf, and he wouldn't keep pretending to be a big guy.
"Thank you for the love of the city lord and your kindness, I am very grateful to have been able to get such treatment after drifting here from the East Xuanzhou." Wang Rui replied without humility or arrogance.
Bapro and the others no longer have any doubts about Wang Rui's identity, and being able to say these words smoothly proves his identity as a monk in Dongxuanzhou, as for the strength, Kolo can already guarantee it, and everyone has acquiesced for the time being.
Accompanied by the real power of Fire Phoenix City such as Papro, Crecha and Gaius, Wang Ruiyun walked slowly and lightly, without the slightest discomfort and nervousness, and everyone couldn't help but look at him with admiration, after all, according to Kolo's original introduction, Wang Rui was just a Terran monk who had fled, but now it seems that he is probably an extraordinary person who has seen a big scene.
In the City Lord's Mansion, Wang Rui had a detailed conversation with Bapro and the others all morning, from which he learned more about the Fire Phoenix City, the Fire Phoenix Dynasty and the surrounding dynasties.
At noon, the city lord's mansion naturally set up a banquet, and there were hundreds of male and female guests who were invited, as well as hundreds of male and female servants with good looks to serve on the side, Wang Rui became the core of the banquet, and the three of Papro, Crecha and Gaius personally led him to toast all the way, so it was not lively.
Wang Rui can clearly feel the-for-tat between Crecha and Gaius, and there will be some skirmishes when the people on both sides are drinking, but Wang Rui is not involved in it, and he is at ease.
When it comes to drinking, Wang Rui doesn't twist, he doesn't refuse, after a circle, many people drink down, he still has nothing to do, and suddenly many barbarians admire, faintly have the title of the god of wine.
Barbarians admire people who eat and drink well, so this is why the top monk who eats food as high as a thousand feet of mountain will be talked about by everyone.
After the banquet, Wang Rui put on his face, rested for a while, and then the guards told him that Kolo came to ask for a meeting, and the two sat down in the guest of honor position.
"You might as well tell us so." Wang Rui looked at him for a long time.
Chloe was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "I really can't hide it from you." However, by now, he was basically convinced of Wang Rui, so he was not too surprised.
After a moment of silence, Chloe spoke: "As a guru and the guardian of Fire Phoenix City, I need to win in the triennial Intercity Master Challenge, but unfortunately I have lost to Mordwiff of Grand City twice, and next month will be the third time, if I continue to lose to him, then the resources of Fire Phoenix City and the territory under its rule will be plundered by Grand City, and I will be reduced to a fifth-level territory, and the Fire Silkworm Village will also be plundered, young men and women will be taken away, and the old people and children will be killed."
Wang Rui frowned, he didn't expect that such a barbaric law would be implemented in the barbarian dynasty, and the fate of a place would be determined entirely by the strength or weakness of the master.
"You're trying to get me to take your place?" Wang Rui said knowingly.
Chloe nodded and said, "Yes, I've been looking for someone to defeat Mordwiff for the past three years, but it's so easy, some gurus have rejected him when they hear his name, while others have opened their mouths and just wanted to make a fortune and leave."
"Why should I help you?" Wang Rui sneered.
Chloe lowered his head, and then said, "Because of the Fire Silkworm Village."
"Are you sure I'm going to take action because of those people I meet?" Wang Rui still didn't let go.
Kolo nodded and said, "Yes, despite your disguised emotions, I can tell that the Fire Silkworm Village is important to you and the maid beside you."
I see, no wonder it is said that cultivators should abandon their feelings and desires, Wang Rui now has a profound experience. With the bond of feelings, there will be all kinds of entanglements and grievances, but Wang Rui does not regret it, he himself is rising in the end of the micro, and he is more concerned about the relationship itself, since he can't hide it, then accept the challenge.
"Well, you succeeded, how about Mordwiff?" Wang Rui asked.
Kolo was overjoyed for a moment, thought about it carefully, and said, "He is known as the first master of the Fire Phoenix Dynasty, he is a genius of the heavens, he is only in his early fifties this year, and he was already a master twenty years ago."
Wang Rui had to sigh at the growth rate of the barbarian monks, they could reach the peak of foundation building at the age of thirty, which was quite not simple, so the heavens were sometimes fair, giving the Dongxuanzhou monks a longer lifespan, but the cultivation speed was far inferior to the barbarian monks.
After that, he had a secret conversation with Koloe, and learned more about that Modwiff, and sure enough, he was not a simple guru, and he had not been defeated so far, which had already aroused the attention of Wang Cheng, and all forces were interested in attracting such a rising star.
As for why Mordwief is staring at Fire Phoenix City, there seems to be another hidden reason.
