Chapter 273: Political Asylum?
"What's wrong?" Jia Zhengjin quickly walked out of the courtyard and asked Wolf directly.
Worf replied: "When I was patrolling with people just now, I noticed a very strangely dressed man outside! He didn't know what he was shouting, and I couldn't understand the language of the world, so I had to come and report it immediately!"
"Strangely dressed people?" Jia Zhengjin was a little puzzled.
"Master Keane!" "Just a few steps away, he saw Buddy running over, "There is a person from outside the city, claiming to have come to our Holy Dragon City to seek political asylum!"
"Hah, political asylum, what the hell?" Jia Zhengjin was speechless.
"Go check it out!" said Buddy.
"Okay!" Jia Zhengjin stretched out his hand and scratched his face, and under the leadership of Worf and Buddy, he quickly left the inner city and rushed to the outer city gate.
"Lord Keane!" the rabbi led a group of town guards near the city gate, and immediately saluted when he saw Jia Zhengjin coming.
"Open the city gate!" Jia Zhengjin glanced at the city wall, and then said loudly.
"Open the city gates!!" received Jia Zhengjin's order, and the rabbi immediately gave the order, and the town guards quickly pushed the cable and opened the heavy city gate.
Jia Zhengjin immediately took Wolf and Buddy out of the city gate and came outside.
The man was a middle-aged man of about forty-one or twelve years old, with earthy yellow hair like a bird's nest, and leaves and dead branches on it, and he didn't know where it came from. His face was dirty, and a set of black aristocratic robes on his body had also turned earthy yellow, how embarrassed and embarrassed he was!
Seeing the middle-aged man who looked like a beggar, Jia Zhengjin blinked: "Uncle, where are you calling?"
Of course, this uncle will definitely not reply, "The poor monk came from the Tang Dynasty in the east and went to the west to worship the Buddha and ask for scriptures!"
He stretched out his hand to pat off the leaves and dead branches in his hair, and bowed respectfully to Jia Zhengjin: "May I ask if the city lord of the Holy Dragon City is here?"
"Am I just that?" Jia Zhengjin said.
The middle-aged man glanced at Jia Zhengjin with some surprise, and said in his heart that he was so young It can't be a lie, right? But seeing the two generals next to him, his heart said that it shouldn't be.
Thinking of this, he immediately said respectfully: "Lord City, I am Ambrose Sidney, the eldest prince of the Lodis Kingdom. A year ago, the Beit Empire launched a war and broke through our royal capital. My father, Lussef Sidney, the king of the Kingdom of Lodis, and more than a dozen of my younger brothers and sisters were brutally murdered by enemy generals! I managed to escape, but the other party refused to let me go, and kept sending people to chase and kill me! In the past year, I have been hiding in Tibet and traveling to several countries. But I can't get rid of the tracker! He's about to find me again, and if he catches me, I'll definitely die! Because I heard the news of the Holy Dragon City on the way, I want to try my luck. I just met your troops on the outskirts of the forest, and they have guided me in the direction and escorted me all the way to here!
"This news is spreading quickly, isn't it?" Jia Zhengjin was speechless, "By the way, I'm not a charity, why do you think I'll help you?"
"Lord of the City!" Ambrose said, looking at him, "The Beit Empire is aggressive and has annexed several small countries in the vicinity, including us in Lodis. Not only that, but they also slaughtered almost all of our Sidney clan! However, they were not satisfied, and even sent people to hunt me down for more than a year, and the world would spurn such a cruel country!"
"What does that have to do with me?" Jia Zhengjin asked, "And you're not just seeking political asylum, aren't you just unilaterally seeking protection?"
"This ......" Ambrose was slightly stunned, he really didn't know that he would say this, "City Lord, no matter what, can you save my life?" I heard that your Holy Dragon City really has a Holy Dragon, and no one dares to risk the dragon's power to disrespect you!"
Jia Zhengjin was quite helpless: "You say that you are the prince of the Kingdom of Lodis, how can you prove it? If you are sent by some force to me as an undercover agent, wouldn't that be a trick on me?"
"Lord of the City, I have a prince's seal!" Ambrose hurriedly took out a small square jade from his arms.
Buddy walked over, reached out and took a closer look, then nodded, "Lord Keane, it's true!"
"You still know this?" Jia Zhengjin was a little surprised, Buddy was just a town guard in Blackwater Town, and he could be regarded as a countryman!
"Lord Keane, our town guards are also constantly learning!" said Buddy helplessly, "and the previous captain, Brent, went to the capital when he was young, and happened to see a foreign prince coming to pay tribute, so he often bragged to us. ”
"But how can such a small stone confirm his identity? Who knows if he stole it or robbed it?" Jia Zhengjin said disapprerovingly.
"Lord Keane!" Buddy explained helplessly, "the royal seal and the noble seal are both personal symbols, and they are engraved for them by the magicians' guild themselves. Each seal can only react to the person, and it is useless for others to take it! There is obviously a faint light on this seal, which proves that its owner is nearby. If there is no light, or if the whole seal is cold, it means that the owner of the seal is far away, or that he is dead. ”
"Really?" Jia Zhengjin curiously took the seal letter and played with it for a while, which scared Ambrose extremely nervous, for fear that he would smash it if he missed.
Fortunately, Jia Zhengjin felt bored after playing for a while, so he directly asked Buddy to return it to others: "Okay! Since you are really a prince, you should not be someone else's spy." It's no problem for me to protect you, but after all, you have a special status! If you are just an ordinary person, then I will let you go into the city without saying a word, and arrange a place to live directly. But if I put you in, I'll have to think about the Bait Empire behind me that will deal with you. Hell knows if they're going to come against me, right?"
Ambrose said in his heart, aren't you the Holy Dragon City? With the protection of the Holy Dragon, what are you afraid of the Beit Empire? Even if the powerful countries of the whole continent join forces, you are not worried at all, right? But he didn't dare to say it, so he could only wait with his head down.
Jia Zhengjin thought for a moment: "That's it! If you pay me some protection money, then this business will be closed! Don't tell me no, otherwise the people of the Beit Empire will not give up after chasing you for more than a year, and I don't believe they are so boring." Either you have a huge sum of money in your hand that makes the Beit Empire jealous, or you are a treasure that they will not be able to give up!"
"Lord City Lord's guess is right!" Ambrose took out a ring from his bosom in a tangled manner, "The Beit Empire has been chasing me for a year, or it is for this ring that invaded our country before! It is rumored that this ring is the wealth left by Master Michelo in the world. This is a spatial ring, a legendary item! My father, who was also dug up from a mausoleum during an unexpected march!"
Jia Zhengjin was speechless, and said in his heart that your father can dig people's graves on the march, which doesn't seem to be a good thing.
"Although this treasure is priceless, I have figured it out! No matter how important it is, it is not as important as my own life. I am willing to give this spatial ring to the city lord, and I only ask you to protect me under the hands of the Bait Empire. In this way, I can also prevent the Beit Empire from getting the ring, and I will not live up to my father's entrustment to me...... "Ambrose took out his hole card, and said in his heart that there was no way! I can't stand it after escaping for a year, no matter what the outcome is, I can only fight it! Although such a precious space ring should not be taken out at all......
He thought to himself and looked up at the other party. But he was stunned to find that both the young city lord and the two generals around him showed disdainful expressions.
What's the situation? This is a space ring, hey!! Ambrose was stunned. Are they not understanding?
