Chapter 16: Meet the Governor
At the gate of Tia City Jail, Johnson looked at Wren and Tyran with a passionate smile.
"I knew you kid could get us out. Johnson came over and gave Wren a bear hug.
"How did you do that?" Johnson asked.
"It's nothing, it's just that we got the evidence that you didn't smuggle, and handed it over to Tia's city guards. And then they let you go. ”
"Kruger, you see I'm right. I knew this kid wasn't ungrateful. Johnson continued.
"Moria, are you all right. Tyran also greeted from the side.
"It's okay, it's just a day and a night. Get used to ......," Molia sighed.
"Is it the Tiger Mercenary Regiment?" asked Kruger tentatively.
Wren nodded slightly, and at this time, Johnson saw that Jack and Reading were also on the side, but the two of them deliberately hid behind just now, so they didn't find out at the first time.
"...... you?" Johnson called out in surprise, but didn't call out his name.
"Captain Johnson, please let us come back. We're willing to keep following you. Reading looked at Johnson and said cheerfully.
"Come back, come back, all back. I just got a big job, 10,000 gold coins! Let's do it together!" Johnson said happily.
When Jack and Reading heard this, they also smiled with joy, like two children. Wren couldn't help but think about how high Johnson's prestige was in the original Tiger Mercenary Group! No wonder David wanted to kill Johnson, as long as Johnson was still in the mercenary world, then he would never be able to get the allegiance of all the members of the Tiger Mercenary Group.
"Sir, our Governor, please!" said an Imperial soldier.
"Governor?" Johnson and the others looked at each other, and they didn't know anyone.
"Are you Mr. Johnson? You'll know as long as you're there. The soldier continued.
Johnson thought about it, but decided to let the soldiers lead the way, and everyone followed towards the governor's castle.
Along the way, the most curious happened to be Wren and Tyran, they hadn't appreciated this beautiful city much since they entered Tia City, and this early morning was just enough for the two of them to see the world together......
The streets of Tia City are clean and lined with shops. You can buy almost anything you want to buy in this world. Even the little thing Zunbao couldn't resist the temptation of curiosity, and turned into a big horse strolling on the road.
After climbing the slope for a long time, I finally arrived in front of the majestic castle. The soldiers said that the castle was usually where the Governor lived and worked.
"The Governor is waiting for you in the parlour, please come with me. "In front of the castle, there stood a butler in a tuxedo. He had been waiting there for a long time.
Several men followed the butler into the castle. Ascending the castle steps one by one, he finally met the mysterious governor at the top of the castle.
"Johnson, are you here?" said Governor Tia Campbell with a smile.
Johnson looked at the man in front of him and couldn't help but burst into tears.
“...... It's you...... Campbell...... Elder brother...... Elder brother. "A tough guy like Johnson turned red when he saw this governor.
Kruger and Molia were even more stunned and speechless. Johnson also has a relative who is the governor?
Wren thought to himself that this was too much of a coincidence, it was my father and son who recognized each other last night, and now it's your brother...
"Where did you hide after you ran away?" Johnson rushed forward and hugged Campbell.
"Johnson, why are you still like a child!" Campbell said, patting Johnson lightly on the shoulder.
The black line in Wren's head, a strong kid like Johnson. It's simply a remake of Nezha in "Ten Cold"!
"Brother Campbell, you ...... Why are you here?" Johnson only then became normal, remembering that he should have asked this sentence first.
"At that time, after I escaped alone, I quietly came to the Jose Empire. At that time, Jose was fighting against the Prairie Kingdom, so I joined the army here with Jose. Later, he was promoted to an official. It's a little famous. The people in the Prairie Kingdom also gave me a nickname, called the Prairie Fox. Campbell said with a smile.
"Campbell, the prairie fox, I said how familiar you were, I didn't expect you to be Johnson's brother. Kruger looked at Campbell in amazement. "Johnson may not have heard much of it, but we from the Northern Kingdoms, Campbell the Prairie Fox, are like thunder!"
As he spoke, he saw Moria's face blue and red. Suddenly, Molia pulled out two swords from her waist and stabbed at Campbell.
"Campbell, you ungrateful villain!" Moria shouted and stabbed at Campbell.
"Lily, are you crazy? He's my big brother!" Johnson grabbed Moria's hand.
"You...... I...... He ......" Molia screamed in her heart, and she couldn't help but sit on the ground.
"Your name is Moria, and you're a prairie elf?" said Campbell, looking at Moria's pointed ears.
"Yes, my full name is Molia Barbarossa. My father was the steppe tiger Quentin Barbarossa. It's you... It was you who deceived him and killed him. Later, all our tribes were exterminated. Molia said with tears in her voice.
"Moria, I think it's a misunderstanding. By the time Quentin was killed, I had already gone back to San Jose to report on my work. It was my deputy, Romon, who gave the order. But to the steppe elves, I am indeed a great sin. Campbell was silent.
"Miss Moria, what the Governor said is true. My name is Anthony, and I was already a personal guard at the Governor's side. The deputy commander of Luomen had just taken over his post at that time, and he was eager to make meritorious service, and by the time the marshal heard the news and rushed back to the grassland, it was too late. Anthony had been standing behind Campbell and hurriedly came out to explain to Campbell.
"Don't worry, if you want revenge in the future, you can come to me at any time. In any case, I am also responsible for that matter. Campbell said.
"I... I ......"
Molia was silent, she didn't know what to do, Wren saw this, and quickly hinted at Tylan with his eyes, and Tylan hurriedly took Molia out of this hall.
After Molia's incident, everyone was in no mood to catch up.
"Johnson, who is this?" Campbell saw that no one spoke, and quickly pointed at Kruger, breaking the cold.
"This is my deputy head of the regiment, Kruger. Johnson said.
"Is that the mighty fire magician? Campbell said.
"Don't be surprised, I've already gotten the news of what you've done in Lakeside Village, and the Holy See may not have gotten the news yet, but I did get the news from the team stationed in the Misty Forest. But I've ordered all messages to be blocked. You don't have to worry. ”
In fact, Wren was eager to tell him that Kruger was a water magician......
Kruger just nodded to Campbell, but didn't refute it, maybe he would have preferred to be called a fire mage.
"Johnson, don't worry about the incident at the city gate this time. I didn't believe you would degenerate into smuggling. Of course, you didn't disappoint me, how could we be like that. Do you know who reported you?" Campbell continued.
"It's the Tiger Mercenary Regiment......" Johnson said before stopping.
"I know, I was going to lock you up for a few days before I could trouble them. Who knows, on the first day, this brother has found evidence of their framing of the blame. I've just sent someone to hold them accountable. However, the report said that their chief and deputy head had left Tia last night. Campbell said.
"You were able to come out so easily this time, I'm afraid it was caused by these Tiger mercenaries who made a big fuss last night. It's so loud, by the way, what kind of magic is that huge meteor. I happened to see it at the castle at the time. Campbell asked, looking at Wren and the others.
"It wasn't something we unleashed, we were under siege at the time, and someone pulled out a sword to help us get out of trouble. Wren replied.
"What about the others? Why didn't they come along. Campbell asked.
"He rescued us and left. Wren replied.
"Oh, is that so! I was going to say that you must have a high-ranking master in there. But thank you for everything you've done for Johnson. Campbell said.
"That's what I'm supposed to do, and it's mostly Jack and Reading. Without them, Tyran and I couldn't have done anything. Wren said.
"Wren, how could Jack and I have made up our minds without you coming. So it's you who give the most credit. Reading said with a smile.
The few people chatted about some interesting things on the mainland, and Campbell was well-informed, and many things had his own unique views. gradually made everyone admire. Even an old man like Kruger thinks Campbell does have two brushes.
After a while, the butler came to inform him that the banquet was ready. Campbell hurriedly beckoned everyone to dinner, and asked people to call Tyran and Molia together.
The servants in the castle all looked at these people curiously. This was the first time in several years that the Governor had entertained ministers sent by the Emperor.
Everyone in the castle looked at them curiously.
