Yes, if Rune City doesn't have to think about defending against a large-scale invasion, why is it so iron-blooded?

Even if it's to deal with enemies along the trade route, you don't need to do it to this extent, right?

For a moment, the carriage fell silent again, and a moment later, a relaxed voice sounded again.

"It's too far away, so we don't have to think about it so much~"

The leopard man priest smiled and looked around at everyone: "On the contrary, it is a business opportunity here in Rune City, I think it is promising, it was just hearsay, this time I saw the scale of trade here with my own eyes, it is really surprising, city lord, what do you say?" ”

As he spoke, the Leopard Priest's gaze turned to the large vulture beside him.

"I think there's a market for red acorns in our city." The centaur druid said with a smile, but the laughter turned into the rattling of vultures, which sounded a little funny.

No one laughed in the carriage, the strength of these two was too terrifying, even if they didn't have the identities of the city lord and deputy city lord, there were not many people who dared to laugh at these two in person.

However, the conversation between the two aroused everyone's interest, and you began to explore the possibility of doing business with Rune City, or using Rune City as a transit point to sell your own goods further afield.

A hint of gloom flashed in the eyes of the nobles of Torrent Harbor, and they barely managed to squeeze out a smile, and rarely talked to the people next to them.

……

in the temple.

Like a child who had made a mistake, Meadhu hung her head and looked at her toes.

Windsor and Damian were also called over by Lu Kuan, and they stood on the other side, the bear monster druid looked at the old goblin who was almost shrunk into a ball, with a trace of unbearability in his eyes, and Damian stared ahead, expressionless.

The matter is simple, a group of goblins who claim to be of the same clan as Medu carry a pile of treasures, claiming to be going to Medu, and claiming to have top-secret information from the Church of the Celestial Gods.

But later, after verification, the other party brought those things, there were a few stolen items belonging to the treasure house of the Golden King City, as for what top-secret information, it was even more nonsense, but these goblins who were full of flowers and did not know the provenance approached within three meters of Medu in such a grand manner!

It's not a big deal, after all, this group of thieves has nothing to do with Medu; It can be said that it is small, but it may make Medu, an experienced and important minister who is already Lu Kuan's right-hand man, fall into a place of no return in the royal city.

Everything depended on the judgment of the Golden Fire Lord, or how he wanted to judge.

The most serious thing is not this.

Many of the arrangements hidden in Rune City are clear to Medu: the Adamantite Gold Mine in Wood Throat Village, the trade objects and detailed lists of more than a dozen cities thousands of miles away, and the military deployment of all the guards in Rune City and the trade routes......

If those people didn't just want to frame Medu, but wanted to kidnap the old goblins, or if it wasn't a few gangsters, but a group of assassins, Lu Kuan didn't know that he couldn't be as calm as he was now.

"Don't pretend to be pathetic to me,"

Lu Kuan's tone was very calm: "Have you sent someone to find out those guys, are they really not from the Silver Dragon Empire?" ”

"It's true, absolutely not!"

Medu immediately raised his head and said quite firmly: "I felt that something was wrong at the beginning, how could it be so coincidental, I was working in Wangcheng, and someone came to the door?" But I couldn't contact you for a while, so I found the Great Lord of the Golden Fire and asked him to help verify it, so I had something to do with you. ”

Lu Kuan leaned back in his chair and nodded slowly.

Lu Kuan had already known about these situations through the guards around Medu, and Lu Kuan was satisfied with Maedu's handling of this matter, and he was very simple and did not leave any loopholes for others to exploit, and there should be very little bad impression left on Jin Huo.

What Lu Kuan is not satisfied with is Medu's attitude towards those so-called "fellow clansmen" - a group of guys of unknown origin can meet Medu just because they are holding the symbol of the creeping jungle goblin clan!

Although the old goblin reacted quickly and quickly saw that there was something wrong inside, this false alarm could have been completely avoided.

Medu secretly raised his head, saw that Lu Kuan's face was a little gloomy, and trembled in his heart, and lowered his head again, not to mention the regret in his heart.

The silence in the room only lasted for half a minute, but the old goblin felt like a year had passed, I wonder if the hearth in the temple was burning too strongly, and the sweat soaked the old goblin's forehead shiny, but the old goblin did not dare to move.

"Goblins are greedy, obsessed with money, do not pay attention to friendship, do not pay attention to cooperation, have no loyalty at all, and are easy to trust relatives who are related by blood regardless of the occasion......" Lu Kuan slowly spoke, but the content of his words made Medu's legs weak, and "Goodong" knelt on the ground and lay down tightly.

Lu Kuan looked condescendingly at Medu on the ground, and continued: "As far as the performance of the goblin population is concerned, am I wrong with what I said? ”

Two or three seconds later, Meadhu's crying voice came: "Your Excellency is right. ”

"In that case......

Lu Kuan's left hand rested on the table, bent down slightly, and said, "Why did I appoint you as the Second Minister of the Interior in the first place?" ”

At this time, Maedu could no longer cry, and kowtowed on the ground while whimpering: "I have betrayed the trust of adults...... I'm sorry for my lordship......"

Lu Kuan's expression was faint, and he continued: "You are different from other goblins, you should know it yourself. ”

Medu just lay on the ground and sobbed, and didn't dare to reply to Lu Kuan's words, Lu Kuan frowned when he saw this, and was about to scold this old guy who was not angry, but Windsor next to him covered his mouth and laughed softly.

"What's wrong? Am I saying funny? Lu Kuan glared at the other party angrily.

The bear monster druid pursed his lips, shook his head slightly, and said softly: "The subordinates don't dare, but they are just glad that Lord Medu can be spared punishment." ”

As soon as Windsor said this, Lu Kuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and Medu's trembling body calmed down a little, and he looked up at Windsor tentatively, wondering if the big red man in front of the lord was joking.

Lu Kuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Windsor, the corners of his mouth curled slightly: "This is interesting, can you talk about it?" ”

"Yes, my lord,"

Windsor calmly bowed to Lu Kuan, then straightened up with a very calm smile: "I remember when I first took over the temple, when the adults gave me a lecture, I didn't have to think about anything else, I only need to remember two things: first, be loyal to Rune City; Second, focus on your own development. ”

"I've followed you to the Wolf Mountain, witnessed the growth of the Runeterra army, witnessed the birth of the Winter Howl, and participated in the sniper battles of the Griffin Knights...... I have come to understand the meaning of your second sentence - as long as we develop ourselves, any conspiracy and trickery of the enemy will be in vain, and in the face of absolute power, these are not worth mentioning. ”

"I dare to guess, what you want to tell Lord Maddu the most is that you have to put all your thoughts on how to make Rune City stronger, and to grow yourself, you must first live, my lord, you are so atmospheric because of Lord Maddu's lack of vigilance, right?"
