Chapter 1238 Our Territory

"He seems to feel that it is still the peaceful and prosperous era of five years ago!" The red-robed blonde priestess who looked at the scene of Hetai not far away frowned: "Now there are rebellions everywhere, and in order to get money to support the expenses of the war, there are officials at all levels who are collecting taxes indiscriminately. The tax collected from the renewal was withheld. Everyone has complaints, but they have fattened the big and small bureaucrats. ”

The high priest next to him suddenly raised his eyes and glanced at her: "Pay attention to your words! After all, he is a powerful king! He is old, and he hates those cumbersome and tangled government affairs, and political affairs naturally fall on the heads of those big and small bureaucrats." The taxes that were withheld were the gifts he gave to the officials. We can't do anything about who he wants to reward. ”

"We have a way!" The red-robed blonde priest suddenly stepped forward and asked, "Is such a king still worthy of our support?!Isn't there ~~~~" but was stopped by the other party with a stern look: "Pay attention to your words! If we don't support him, who else can we support? Who can stop this scene?!I understand your thoughts, but I still want to sue you— You haven't experienced much, especially not a king who goes from order to chaos and riots, you haven't experienced that bleak days and demonic mental pressure. You don't know: A few bad orders are 10 times better than the chaotic world! It is a good thing that young people have the motivation to revolutionize their lives, but do not think that if they reform the lives of the country, they will definitely be able to usher in a better life. You simply don't understand how hard it is to build an effective order, and how terrible it is to pay. Don't be presumptuous. ”

Perhaps realizing that he was talking too seriously, the gray-haired man changed his voice and whispered: "You must pay special attention to your identity! Don't forget, your ancestors have intermarried with the royal family many times, and you also have a bit of royal blood in you." If those officials sue the king, you have bad intentions~~~~ "The king is most suspicious of people like you!

The beautiful red-robed and blonde-haired female priest stepped back and glared fiercely at the jugglers who were playing and singing: "Chicken dogs who are playthings! If you hadn't pestered the king, this country wouldn't have been messed up by a few officials!"

But in the afternoon, she suddenly received an edict from the high priest, who arranged for her to meet the royal capital, and told her to leave as soon as possible. lest she stay here long and say things that she ought not to say. It's not good for the church or herself.

In a complicated mood, after reading the fatwa, she went to pack her package in a muffled voice, picked up her sturdy sword and left. When he went out, he bumped into the gray-haired high priest who came to him: "What are you doing in a hurry?" he said slowly, earnestly, "Go to the escort team and get a better shield." Now that the world is slowly becoming chaotic, it is safer to bring a shield-"

The blonde priestess 'hmm' for a moment, silently went to receive her shield, and walked firmly into the distance.

——————————————————————————————————————

This is a strange town - the architecture here is full of exotic flavors, whether it is the spiral-shaped graceful mage tower, or the neat magic shop in the shape of a scallop, or the beautiful doorway with golden vines, all have a pleasing color and temperament. Looking at the novel and interesting big cone tower and small arched houses, the front and back are staggered, forming a magnificent and prosperous medium-sized city scene, which makes people forget to return!

Especially when I saw the lizardmen merchants with rough scales and armor sitting on the river boats, slowly approaching the dock under the guidance of the human boatman, I couldn't help but make Dong Hezi on the pillar tower restaurant next to him very interested: "Yo, isn't this the lizardman in the south of the Western Continent?

"It's a portal. The two Apolis mages who were with him replied, "I heard that a portal has appeared in the south of the snake man empire, directly connecting to some parts of the southern continent. So some daring lizardmen came over. They also leaned into Dong Hezi's ear and whispered, "The golden magic pattern thing they sell is very good." Would you like to check it out?"

Dong Hezi replied indifferently: "Now is not the time, let's concentrate on finding that assassin." The two mage friends next to him only looked at each other helplessly and smiled: "There are magic items and magic enchantments everywhere here, and all kinds of interference are very strict, how can we find them?" "Dong Hezi was also silent, because he was also in a 'predicament' - the hexagram showed that he needed to wait here.

But the question is: how long will it take?

In the past few days, the hexagram has not answered this question, but asked them to continue to wait. This made the two mages more and more anxious: "You just dedicate yourself to the approximate time of measurement." Don't have a time, or you won't be able to measure the time. Why just let you wait? Is it wrong?"

Only Dong Hezi seemed very calm, so calm that he seemed to have an indifferent attitude: "You need to leave some freedom when divination, and don't force too hard or set too strict when asking questions." Because the answer may not be within our predetermined range. The two people on the other side shook their heads with a light smile while drinking special tea from the south: "Do you really believe in those 'melon elephants'? But you also said: You should try to let go of all your distracting thoughts, that is, try not to use a qiē mental model, and finally try not to even use your own problems." There is no need for anything, how can people answer you? Who is the answer to you? You still say that it is not God, and it is not the mysterious operation of the magic net. Who the hell is that?"

Dong Hezi could only answer in a language they understood: "Maybe fate is answering." It is fate itself that answers us. To put it crudely, each of us actually has an infinite number of destinies, but only a few of them can be fulfilled. And not necessarily a good fate. However, we always have some hidden good fate, or 'not too bad fate'. And we can simulate the method of inaction, and gradually realize these fates. Of course, what I call 'fate' is not the same as what others call fate. The fate of others tends to refer to the external environment, and the 'fate' I mean both the external environment and the inner mind of oneself. ”

On the crowded street below, the stout lizardmen were also led by human servants. In this place full of small vendors, their coarse physique and wagging tails like sub-giants suddenly slammed into each other, and even swept down two stalls selling breakfast when they turned. And they went on their way, as if they didn't know it at all.

This made the vendor who bought the breakfast very unhappy, but he dared not speak out. At the small table, unexpectedly sat a blonde priestess who was eating thin slices of cheese and soft bread for breakfast, and she stared at her beautiful long eyes, and shouted very unceremoniously: "Hey! The first two! You have damaged the stall! This is to be compensated! Do you understand the rules?"

Ahead, the two stubby, scaly bear-like lizardmen spat sticky red snake letters and hissed creepy sounds, but they weren't human words. And there is no human touch in those cold-blooded big pupils, like a swallowing machine staring at edible prey!

The blonde priestess's hand was already pressed against her sword and shield, and the shield in particular made her feel a little more at ease: 'I didn't think there were lizardmen here, what are you doing now?' Let these vulgar and savage creatures run around. These guys are going to eat people in the south! Is there no one in the country to take care of them?'...,

The other party, who was as thick as a bear, had already unceremoniously turned Kong Wu's body, and aimed at the female pastor who was half his own child with a fierce momentum. At the last moment, the human attendants around them spun a little faster, and they had already rushed to the front to persuade them to stop their actions in dragon-like language. He politely ran to the female priest who was sitting swaggeringly, and said with a working smile: "They are from the south, they are nobles among the lizardmen, and they don't understand some rules. Thank you for your understanding. As for the losses of these two, the villain will write it down and send someone to compensate later. Please also raise your noble hand, if you delay the trip of these noble lords, everyone will be unhappy. ”

The priestess frowned a little: "Whose territory is this? In our territory, you have to know our rules. This time~~~~ Don't be so confused next time, you do business with them, and you have to tell them some rules first!"

The other party said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, this time we didn't think it through, and we won't go back next time." You use it slowly, and our people will soon clean up the compensation. He hurriedly left with a few indifferent and proud lizardmen holding their big tails, leaving behind a slightly worried priestess and a gradually deserted street.

After watching, Dong Hezi and a few mages went to the streets after eating breakfast, this is a relatively important trading city in the south of Lazilakabi, with a Yangtze River-like river, a large amount of grain, salt medicine, handicrafts, magic raw materials and so on are distributed here, and some of the larger shops even fill the vats at the door with fresh materials to greet customers. There are both the things that the mages need, and the sacrificial ingredients that the Church of the Sun God needs. It's just that the sun god is too single, so there is little material for the priest.

But what is surprising is that there is a temple of the Traveling God Mountain Dacole here! rare, really rare!

In this country full of golden-domed sun temples, it is rare to still stand such an abrupt tower-like stalagmite-shaped temple. The half-leaf arch inlaid with natural crystals the size of a basin is radiating the light of nobility, as if the ancient aristocracy is showing the inner fullness and wealth.

"Let's go in, go in and have a look. "Dong Hezi wants to take everyone to visit new places and break the dull atmosphere of these days. Unexpectedly, when I walked to the door, I found that there was a large illusion reminder board standing there: "Busy business, no longer accept foreign guests." And the closed bronze packaging door was infused with a variety of powerful spells, with a posture of rejecting people thousands of miles away.

Because there was indeed a heavy incident thousands of miles away, in a neat little hall deep in the temple, several simple priests, old and young, were discussing the incident in the north of the ten thousand miles with two merchants wearing expensive silver robes and a series of soft pearl necklaces: "The portal in the north has been stabilized, and it has become a rare scale of sixty feet high. The lizardmen in the southern part of the continent have already shipped the first batch of ore, and the quality and price are lower than our chamber of commerce. It seems that a major shift in trade is inevitable, so we will face an even more unstable situation!"
