Chapter 56 Bright City Lord(2/2)
Yes, the Holy See turns a blind eye to some minor frictions that usually occur and does not interfere. However, if the conflict escalates to a real war, I am afraid they will intervene. In terms of overall strength, we are slightly stronger than the Sunset Empire.
, but as long as the Holy See supports the Sunset Empire, we will be unable to move. We cannot and dare not send troops to fight against the enemy. Who is willing to offend the largest force on the mainland? What's more, the Holy See has long disliked us. Our Huasheng Empire
The people have always been self-sufficient and do not have much favorable impressions of the Holy See's sacrifices. If Tiangang Sword Saint and his old man were not intimidating the Holy See, I am afraid that they would have found reasons to spread their teachings forcefully. So, we can only wait,
When the Sunset Empire takes the initiative to send troops, there may be some opportunities."
Listening to these complicated situations, Ah-Dai couldn't help but feel dizzy, and murmured: "It's better not to fight. If there is a war, I'm afraid many people will die!"
Kari sighed: "Who wants to fight? However, when things come to pass, sometimes they cannot be changed by human power. This is God's will."
Aldous said: "Brother Dumb, I think it's better not to go to the Sunset Empire yet. The border situation is so tense, I'm afraid a lot of things will happen."
Ah-Dai shook his head and said firmly: "No, we must go to the Sunset Empire. Don't worry, we will be careful." Ah-Dai will fulfill the Elf Queen's instructions no matter what.
Aldos looked at him deeply and said: "Marshal Fengwen and I have a very good relationship. If you are willing to join the army, and he can introduce you, you should have a bright future in the empire!"
Yan Li laughed and said: "He? He is not suitable to join the army! Duan is too soft-hearted. I am afraid that on the battlefield, he will not be willing to kill anyone."
Aldos was stunned, looked at Yanli, and said: "Looking at your figure, you should be practicing martial arts. If you are willing to join the army, I can also arrange a good position for you."
Yan Li waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I'm not good at it. I'm used to living a free life. If I were in the army, I would cause trouble for you."
Dumb said: "Lord Aldos, thank you for your kindness. We are really not suitable to join the army."
Aldous's mood did not change because of Dui and Yanli's rejection. He smiled and said: "Dui, how many years older than you are I am, so don't call me City Lord. That would be too alienating. Call me City Lord."
Uncle Orr! You helped the Magicians Guild this time. I am very grateful. If you need anything in the future, just come to my uncle and he will definitely help you."
Kari thought to himself, Aldos, you are really good at winning people's hearts! Without waiting for Ah-Dai to reply, he rushed to say: "Yes, not only will he help you, you are now a great benefactor of the union, what will happen in the future?"
If you have any difficulties, the Magician Guild will help you. You are one of us after all, and the Guild will always be your home. This is for you." He took out something he had already prepared from his arms and handed it over.
Dui took it and took a look. It turned out to be a golden magic card. The appearance was somewhat similar to his original red magic card, except that the logo symbolizing the magician's union was protruding. The card contained a touch of energy, and Brother
Reese, who had studied alchemy, knew that this card was not made of gold, but a mixture of rare metals. "President Cary, don't say that. I am not a benefactor of the union. The union
If you are in trouble, I will definitely help. What, what is this?"
Kari smiled slightly and said: "You can also call me uncle. This card represents your status as an elder in the Magician Union. There are already nine elders in the union, and you are the tenth. In each branch, as long as you
If you need it, they will help you unconditionally.”
Dumb was stunned, pointed at his nose and said: "Me? Elder? Kali knows..., ah, no, Uncle Kali, how can I be an elder? My magic is very poor."
Kari said sternly: "Of course you can. I have discussed it with several other elders. Although you are not old, with the magic you summoned the silver dragon that day, you are enough to hold the position of elder. I will officially grant it to you now.
The position of honorary elder of the Magicians Guild."
Dumb still wanted to refuse, but Kari said with a straight face: "If you don't accept it, you will be looking down on your uncle and the Magician's Guild. Do you want to be our enemy?"
In desperation, Ah-Dai had no choice but to put the card away close to his body. Yan Li on the side said enviously: "Ah-Dai, you are so lucky. Uncle Kari, how much is this elder's monthly salary?"
Kari smiled and said: "Elders do not receive monthly salary. However, because of the elders' lofty status in the union, no matter where they are, with this identity card, they can use the union funds no more than 10,000 gold coins at any time.
that power."
Dui was surprised and said: "What? Ten thousand gold coins? I can't use that much money, just enough to spend."
Aldos looked at Kari with approval in his eyes. A master is rare! Being able to win over such a magician with the ability to summon dragons will definitely be of great benefit to the future development of the magician union. He smiled and said: "
No one wants you to use that much money. What Brother Kali means is that as long as you need it, the amount of less than 10,000 gold coins can be at your disposal. If you spend less, just take less from the union. First time meeting, Orr
Uncle also wants to give you a gift." He took out a diamond-shaped silver square from his arms and handed it to Ah-Dai. Ah-Dai took it and saw that there was a word of command in the center of the square. It was heavy in his hand. He put it under his nose and smelled it.
A faint fragrance passed into the nose, and he said with emotion: "This, this is agarwood silver!" Agarwood silver is a very precious metal, with a strong anti-corrosion effect, and its effect is even better than that of silver and tin, and
It can emit a refreshing and refreshing fragrance. Many noble women's jewelry boxes are made of it. The cost is extremely expensive. This thick piece of agarwood silver can be used to make several jewelry boxes.
Aldos didn't expect that this dull young man was quite knowledgeable. He nodded and said, "Yes, this is a token made of agarwood silver. It has my special mark on it. With it, you can enter and leave the borders of the Huasheng Empire at will."
Garrison, since you are determined to go to the Sunset Empire, I think it will have some effect on you."
Dumb said embarrassedly: "Two uncles, how could I accept such a precious gift from you?"
Kari said: "No matter how valuable things are, they are not as important as life. You have saved so many people, and this is what you deserve. Okay, put it away quickly."
Yan Li nodded repeatedly, grabbed the token from Ah-Dai's hand, stuffed it into his arms, and said with a smile: "I'd like to thank you both for Ah-Dai."
Aldous stood up and said: "I still have a lot of things to deal with, so I'll leave first. If you come to me for anything, as long as you rely on this token, no one will stop you."
After the three of them sent Aldos away, Kali ordered someone to give Ah-Dai a set of magic robes. They were also red magic robes symbolizing the identity of a fire magician, but this set had a special feature.
The six-pointed star is made of gold thread, with red ordinary magic crystals inlaid at the six vertices. There are nine golden six-pointed stars on the right shoulder, which symbolizes the identity of the union elder. Wear this gorgeous outfit
Ah-Dai couldn't help but feel a little awkward, but he couldn't refuse Cary's kindness, so he had to do this. Cary originally wanted him to choose some magic supplies from the union's collection, but Ah-Dai refused. After all, he himself
He knew that his magic level was not very strong, and it was useless to ask for those magic supplies. Early the next morning, when Ah-Dai and the other three left, Kari personally sent them to the west gate of Guangming City and gave Ah-Dai a hundred
The amethyst coins were offered to them as travel expenses, but Dumb refused and had no choice but to accept them.
Originally Yanli wanted to buy a few horses, but after reading the map, Yanli found that the terrain entering the Sunset Empire from here was complicated and it was difficult for horses to pass, so he gave up the idea. In this way, the three of them continued on their way to the Sunset Empire.
During the journey of the empire, what Ah-Dai gained most in the City of Light was not getting the title from the elder of the Magician Union and the token of Aldos, but using the blood of the dragon to subdue a bone dragon. The physical attack power of the bone dragon
It is so powerful that it can be said to be even better than Ah-Dai, who does not need to change, and will definitely become a big help to him in the future.
Two days later, the three of them finally passed through the Guangming Province and arrived at the junction of the Huasheng Empire and the Sunset Empire. Looking at the military camps in front of them where they could not find the border, the three of them couldn't help being stunned. Yan Li lost his voice and said: "Why?
There will be so many troops here? How can we get there?"
Yan Yan mused: "It seems that the relationship between the Huasheng Empire and the Sunset Empire is very tense! This should be the Huasheng Empire's defensive army. It looks like it is estimated to be more than 100,000 people."
Yan Li looked at Ah-Dai and said, "No wonder the Aldos City Lord gave you a token. Without a token, it is simply impossible to pass through the garrison of the troops."
Dumb took out the token from his arms and said, "Let's go then. Didn't Uncle Al say that with this token, we can pass through the Huasheng Empire's garrison at will?"
The three of them walked towards the military camp from the front. When they were still a few hundred meters away from the military camp, they were stopped by the patrolling infantry. When Ah-Dai showed Aldos' token, the infantry recognized the token's origin and did not dare
He was careless and hurriedly led them into the military camp.
In the structure of the Huasheng Empire, every ten people constitute a small group, every hundred people form a squadron, every thousand people form a large group, and ten groups of ten thousand people form a legion. Ten legions form a group army, and the commander-in-chief of the group army is responsible for this. Stationed here
The 100,000 people are the only group army in Guangming Province. Their commander-in-chief is naturally Aldos, the governor of Guangming Province. These troops can also be said to be the direct troops of Aldos, including the Guangming Tiger Army.
Under the leadership of Aldos, the Tiger of Light, he has made countless contributions to the Huasheng Empire. It is the most powerful force besides the Holy Light Knights led by Feng Wen.
Since Aldos has many affairs in the Province of Light, he will naturally not take command here. His temporary replacement is his top general, Xifeier, the commander of the First Army of Light with the title of viscount. Xiphier is cautious, good at defense, and loyal.
Geng Geng is highly valued by Aldos. With him commanding the army garrison here, even if the Sunset Empire suddenly attacks, Aldos will be sure that the enemy will not be able to get close. The infantry of Dui and others are blocked because they have Aldo
He took Si's token and regarded them as envoys from Guangming City, and reported them directly to the group army's headquarters.
West Feier was discussing with the other nine army commanders and some staff officers and generals in the group army. When he heard that envoys had arrived from Guangming City, he quickly invited the three of them into the headquarters.
The command headquarters is a large temporary tent, which is extremely spacious inside, covering hundreds of square meters. Entering the tent, the three people from Dumb looked at the generals with bright armor and imposing knights. They, who had not seen much of the world, couldn't help but feel...
Somewhat panicked, they just took the road, but they didn't expect to be received by the commander here.
Xifeir walked down from the main seat and looked at the three of them up and down. Ah-Dai was wearing a thick magician cloak, so he couldn't see his face clearly, but he recognized the mark on Ah-Dai's shoulder. He was shocked and hurriedly said politely.
He said: "Xifeier has not come far to welcome you. Please forgive me, elder. I wonder what the governor's instructions are?" He secretly blamed the messenger just now for not clarifying the identity of the person who came. How respected is the elder of the Magician's Guild. He should
