Armillary Boots @ Chapter 36 The first time I knew that the capital was coming

Author: polarisa

Since Warren's strange soldiers appeared in front of everyone, he has also been pushed to the front of everyone's attention. Before, in the consciousness of others, Hua Lun was just a lucky little beggar and a homeless man, but fortunately with Elder Du's appreciation, the refining layer cultivated by taking elixir was nothing remarkable. And now, when he gorgeously killed the six bandits, Warren was upgraded to Warren-sama of the shipwrights, sailors, and even the guards, and even Sun Jin's eyes on Warren were completely different and full of awe.

At this time, the tide was already rising outside the sea cave. However, this can no longer affect Warren's entry and exit. Wearing swimming trunks and diving out of the breath, I got on the carriage and horse avenue on the west bank, took out dry clothes from the bag on the side of the road and changed, greeted the people waiting on the pier, and came to Fang Market together. The one who came to summon him was a fang guard, with a familiar face, who was on duty with him during the day. This man was very respectful to Warren, and it may have been too much of a stimulus for him during the day, and it has not dissipated until now. On the way, he took the initiative to tell Warren that it was Sun Jin who made a report to Chief Manager Qin and Elder Du.

In fact, Warren also knows that if such a big thing happened today and so many people died, Sun Jin must report it, otherwise he will not be able to hold back if something goes wrong.

Hua Lun followed the fang guard to the attic in the depths of the fang market again, and there were three gilt characters on the plaque on the door: "Qingyun Pavilion", which is the place where the Qingyun Fang steward handles the affairs of the fang. This is the second time that Warren has come, and the last time he was able to come in by offering the purple spirit crystal bead to the sect under the name of Liu Wen, and he was nervous and hurried, so he didn't look carefully.

It didn't matter this time, it was Elder Du who summoned him to discuss the matter, and no one urged him. The attic has a total of four floors, the first floor is an office hall, after entering the door, you can see a circle of half-person-high counters distributed against the wall on the left and right, which should be the intermediate steward of Qingyunmen stationed in Fang City, where the affairs of the workshop are handled. Directly north of the attic is the corner of the staircase. The second floor is the commercial house of the intermediate steward, which can meet guests and stay; the third floor is the commercial house of the senior steward of Fang City, such as Chief Manager Qin and Elder Du; and the fourth floor is the meeting room of Fang City to receive foreign guests.

At this time, Elder Du and the others should still be waiting for Warren in the living room. The Fang Wei said that Elder Du had instructed that Hua Lun would go up directly as soon as he came, and he didn't have to go through it. Warren was not polite and followed upstairs directly. Pushing the door in, I saw that Manager Qin was standing in front of the window and looking south, estimating that Hua Lun would be discovered as soon as he entered Fang City, maybe earlier. Elder Du was sitting on the bamboo couch on the east side, probably waiting for him. Seeing Hua Lun come in, both of them were full of smiles, and Elder Du even owed a debt and motioned for Hua Lun to sit down on the bamboo couch opposite.

Four bamboo couches enclose a slightly spacious square, in the middle is a bamboo coffee table, the bamboo couch, the tea table is covered with a thick blanket, Hua Lun is not very polite, see the head of Qin sit down on the bamboo couch on the south side, he is also under the service of the maid standing by the door, changed into soft hemp shoes, and is served by the waitress who kneels on the blanket to serve the tea ceremony, and walks on the blanket to sit on the bamboo couch on the west side.

Last time he came, Warren only met the elders on the third floor, but this time he went up to the first floor, and the treatment was completely different. Seeing Warren sit down, the maid served a cup of tea with a light color of water.

Except for the first time when they came in, Chief Manager Qin and Elder Du showed surprise one by one, and the two of them had been quietly observing Hua Lun: his clothes were neat, his boots had no peculiar smell, and although he was wearing ordinary linen, he did not have any stains or damage, and he described it decently and elegantly. The two of them suddenly felt a little contemptuous of him before, and regarded him as an ordinary little beggar or a vagabond, like everyone else.

Elder Du couldn't help but project his divine sense onto Hua Lun, naturally noticing the richness of his true qi and the fineness of his veins, and also saw that he was about to break through the refining layer soon. From the slight change in the expression on his face, it can be seen that he is very surprised, probably no longer believing in his original judgment of this homeless child's qualifications. Chief Qin next to him should also be projecting his divine sense to carefully perceive his cultivation.

Warren had long felt the peeping eyes of the two of them on him, after all, the two were his current bosses, and they did not show malice or tried to attack, so there was really no need for him to be disgusted or even fight back.

This short period of time didn't pass too long, and Elder Du coughed and began to say his intentions: "Warren, the two of us have already heard Sun Jin's report. You handled it very well today, and Fang Shi appreciated your behavior very much, and avoided greater losses for Fang Shi. We also know that you will have a high reward for going to sea this time, but the workshop still has to reward you, otherwise it will be unfair. After Elder Du finished speaking with a smile on his face, he nodded to Chief Manager Qin.

Chief Manager Qin understood, nodded with a smile, and said, "Elder Du and I have discussed it and decided to recommend you to be the captain of the Fang Guard, and today I have sent a message to the Donghai Hall for the record, and it is estimated that there will be a reply in five or six days, and the branch hall should not reject our recommendation." ”

Hua Lun didn't have anything to dislike, nodded with sincerity on his face, and said, "Thank you Elder Du and Chief Manager Qin for your cultivation." ”

Obviously, both Elder Du and Chief Manager Qin were very satisfied with Hua Lun's reply, and Chief Manager Qin said, "Your promotion is a due reward, and in addition, we have decided to pass on the reserve martial arts of this workshop to you." As he spoke, Manager Qin took out a book of light martial arts from his arms, gently put it on the bamboo table, and continued: "It just so happens that you are about to break through the refining layer, and this Qingyun Vertical Light Body Martial Arts will be able to be cultivated immediately. After thinking about his interpersonal relationship, he advised: "If you want, you can teach it to your own senior brother, after all, this is also something worth ten thousand gold, and few people can afford it." However, I think Elder Du has already taught you that this exercise is strictly forbidden to be passed on!" At the end, his tone and voice were a little aggravated. Warren could understand and nodded, not paying attention.

Seeing that Manager Qin had already handed over Fang City's reward to Warren, Elder Du said softly: "Warren, when I first saw the three of you, of course, I thought that Song Zhengzhu had the best qualifications, but I didn't think that I couldn't understand you, but fortunately, I didn't make any big mistakes, and Warren didn't have any opinions." ”

Hua Lun hurriedly replied: "Elder Du is too polite, Hua Lunmeng has always been grateful to you from the world, and I hope that Elder Du will not be so humble again." ”

Seeing that Hua Lun was understanding, Elder Du was very satisfied, and seemed to remind him out of kindness: "Recently, in Fang City, there have been two outsiders, Xu is from the capital of our Muhai Principality, it should be the prince of the Mu family and his entourage, who are inquiring about your whereabouts. If something is wrong, you should deal with it earlier. ”

Warren was a little surprised, worried that it would be the two who threw the boots to him, but said casually: "The kid has never left Fang City, and he has no relatives, so he probably found the wrong person, right?"

Elder Du nodded, and said, "The giant crossbow whale you brought back this time is estimated to be the largest one that martial cultivators from all over the country have come to trade since the opening of Qingyun Fang. Originally, ballista whales were very common, and their value was not very high, so there was nothing special about it. It's just that this one is too big, and the whole skin, backbone, and fish oil will have the most important special significance, such as war supplies. In order to maximize its value, Fang Shili plans to release information throughout Donghae County, and hold a major auction in Qingyunfang ten days later. In addition, the item of the finale is the Purple Spirit Crystal Bead that you offer to the sect. I guess your rotation will be a little hectic at that time, so behave well!"

Hearing the last sentence, Warren knew that it was a euphemism for sending off the guest, and stood up to say goodbye very knowingly.

It was already dark at night, and Warren walked down the carriage and horse avenue, feeling that everything that was happening in front of him was interesting and coincidental.
