Chapter 1624: The Deal Begins
A few days later, on the castle lord's birthday, Ice Evil and Alice finally had a chance to meet the castle lord Hippock Pios. I saw that the city was decorated everywhere, with long carpets on the streets and beautiful flowers on the balconies of the houses on both sides. On the road, there were many men and women waiting to greet the appearance of the city lord, and then two more columns of guards came, all dressed in brand-new military uniforms on both sides, majestic.
Alice stood on the side of the road and exclaimed, "What a pomp, like a triumphant welcome ceremony for the army." ”
The lord of the city has to patrol the city every time he celebrates his birthday, firstly, to understand the situation in the city, but in fact, it is to show his majesty and facilitate management and rule. In such a deserted place on the plateau, it is not easy to manage so many people.
Alice stood in the crowd and said to the Ice Child, "It is said that the lord of the city, Pios, is a very strong man and believes in the rule of power. However, some people say that he is very kind and kind to people. With such contradictory evaluations, I don't know what kind of person he is. ”
The city lord Pios returned to Wasterock City yesterday, but yesterday Ice Evil didn't have a chance to meet him. And today is the birthday celebration all day, the carnival of the city citizens, and the first activity is to start with the city lord patrolling the city.
There was a commotion among the crowds on both sides of the street, and then a group of heavily armed guards carrying a wide and splendid bed and chair was slowly approaching on the carpet in the middle, and it was none other than Hippoch Pios.
"It's really stylish. Alice muttered.
Pios was large, or rather slightly bloated. Generally, it is difficult for people who have reached this status to maintain a good figure. He was tall and big, with a green beard and bald hair. It is said that the lord of the castle has one-sixteenth dwarven blood, but he really doesn't look like a dwarf. He was dressed in baggy clothes, and sat on the bed chair with his belly shy. With a smile on his face, he beckoned to the citizens on both sides.
Seeing the appearance of the city lord, Alice was a little disappointed: "Alas, why is he a fat man again, and there is no one in a high position who is good-looking?"
Bingzhi said evilly: "What's the use of looking good, or do you want to fall in love?"
"Hmph! What does this have to do with falling in love? You men like to look at beautiful women, and of course we women want to look at handsome guys. ”
Bing Zhiye pointed to the white-haired beautiful man in the crowd and said, "Isn't that Binger named Heisenberg quite handsome?"
Alice glanced at it, shook her head, and said, "No, no, no." He is not handsome, but beautiful. Like a woman. Feminine, I don't like this style. ”
"And what do you like?" asked Bingzhi.
Alice raised her head and thought for a moment and said, "I like and am optimistic, and I have a manly ......," she glanced at her master quietly, and then said, "The kind of person who is ruthless and resolute, and can do whatever it takes to achieve his goal." That's a man to love, isn't he?"
"Sounds like you're very demanding. ”
Alice puffed up her chest and said proudly: "Of course, otherwise who can be worthy of me." But the requirements are high. As long as there is such a one in the world, it is enough. ”
The city lord has passed, and the ice child chaser accompanies Alice out to watch the fun. The city lord will come back after patrolling all the places in a while, so he decided to go around first.
By noon, food and tables filled every street, and everyone came out to enjoy the feast, singing, dancing, and laughing. The lord of the city, Pios, toasted everyone on the high platform behind the Four Holy Fountains, and everyone rejoiced.
I ate the drink for a while. After eating the food for a while, the guests from other places gave birthday gifts to the city lord in turn. Meet and talk. The giver doesn't give all the expensive gifts, it's just the mind, and it doesn't need to be too expensive. What's more, with the status of Pios, there is nothing precious.
Bing Zhiyi also prepared a gift, after all, the lord of a city has a birthday, and he has a request for others. As a guest here for a few days, for Jennifer's sake, congratulations should also be given. Although he didn't make any special preparations when he came up the mountain, he still had one or two things on him that could be used as gifts.
Pios had heard Germeni talk about the situation of the Ice Child, and he still attached great importance to the Ice Child. So I went to the seat of the guest with Alice.
Next was Heisenberg, who came empty-handed, Pios was a little unhappy, and said with a cold face: "This city lord has a birthday, and you didn't bring any gifts, that is, you have no heart." Then what are you doing here?" said this very directly, without saving the other party any face.
Heisenberg said, "Lord, although I have not brought a gift, I have brought a man for you. ”
"People, who?"
Heisenberg patted his chest: "Myself." Castle Lord, you have forgotten that I met you on the road fifteen years ago, and swore to you that if you could save my friend, I would swear allegiance to you. ”
Pios thought back, "Oh! you're the kid. ”
"It's me. Heisenberg said: "In the past fifteen years, I have been trying to train myself to be able enough. Today, I feel that my ability is enough, so I have come to fulfill my promise to serve the lord of the castle. ”
When Pios heard him say this, he laughed happily, touched his beard, and said, "Haha, if you don't say it, I forgot about it, it's rare that you still remember it, and you can fulfill your promise." I like people who keep their promises. By the way, what about your friend, is he okay?"
"He was tragically killed three years ago. ”
"It's unfortunate and I regret it. Pios smiled again and said, "If you don't say such things today, please take a seat." ”
A few more guests sent congratulatory gifts, and the inhabitants of the city prepared a large gift. Pios was pleased and ordered the feast to begin. After the banquet, there are many activities, including balloon release, group singing, ballroom dancing and waltzing. There are also swordsmanship shows, magic shows, lucky wheels, gift giveaways, show cards, and more. The event didn't end until late at night, so it was a day of partying.
......
Before the morning of the next day, the lord of the city, Pios, sent someone to invite the ice child. When they arrived at the main hall of the city lord, after a few people went out, only Bing Zhiyi and Pios on the seat were left.
Pios got down from his seat and walked up to the Ice Child: "I haven't seen you well yesterday, but if you take a closer look today, it's really different." ”
"It's the same with the city lord. "Ice is not a casual remark, the Pios in front of him is very different from yesterday. Yesterday Pios was like a rich man who was accustomed to living a comfortable life, but today he has a different feeling, what it is but I can't say it completely. In short, with a somewhat capable and decisive demeanor, it is a feeling that only a person in a high position and has the temperament of a leader.
Pios didn't talk nonsense, but got straight to the point: "I've seen the patients you sent. I can guarantee that she will be cured, but it will take about a year to a year and a half. ”
"So long?"
"Mental illness is not a condition that can be cured immediately. ”
"You called me to fulfill my promise. ”
Pios straightened his broad robe and said, "Germeni knows my mind very well, and I am interested in your body. ”
Bingzhi said evilly: "You can know a lot of things from me in a month. ”
"Not a lot, it's all. ”
Bing Zhixiao said to him: "Then let's start, I don't like to procrastinate either, give me an hour to prepare." ”
Pios nodded in agreement, "After an hour, you'll have to give up your ego and do exactly what I want." ”
"Yes. ”
"Is there anything else you have to say?" Pios saw that he was not gone.
Bingzhi said evilly: "I hope you know my information, and don't sue other people." ”
"Whether you want to sue someone else, the power is mine. Pioston paused and said, "But I won't reveal your information." ”
The Ice Evil turned and left.
Back in the guest room, Ice Evil explained to Alice, and handed over his black feather coat and important things stored in the other space to Alice for safekeeping.
Alice was very worried, took his hand and refused to let go, and said, "Master, are you all right?"
"I'll be fine. Ice Evil patted the back of her hand, took her hand away, and went to see Pios again.
