Chapter 596: The Coming of the Holy Son (II)
"Roar!!"
The sharp sound of the wind whistled past Joseph's ears, and the young militiaman calmly looked at the orc who pounced on him, and at the moment when its claws were about to pierce the chest of the young man in front of him, Joseph suddenly turned to the left, dodging the fatal blow of the orc, and then he roared angrily, raised the long sword in his hand, and stabbed it hard. The next moment, the sharp blade pierced through the orc's heart, stabbing it to the ground. And even though he was pierced through the heart, the orc still struggled unwillingly a few times, and then it turned into a corpse. It wasn't until the prey beneath him was completely dead that Joseph took a breath and drew his sword. And as the long sword was drawn, a trace of dirty blood instantly spurted out and fell on Joseph's body.
"Phew!!"
Wiping a handful of blood from his face, Joseph took a cold sip. Only then did he look around, the monster attacks near the villages and towns had become more and more frequent recently, and even the caravans had been attacked several times. But it only said that there was a shortage of manpower and there was no way to send someone to help, and Joseph was helpless about it. But how long will they be able to support this?
Forget it, it's a day.
Thinking of this, Joseph put away his long sword and beckoned to the militiamen beside him.
"Alright, let's get out!"
Although Joseph was young, the militiamen seemed to be convinced by him, and upon hearing Joseph's order, the militiamen quickly put away their weapons and turned back to the village.
The tension caused by the monster attack had dissipated, and when everyone returned to the village. They were greeted by the warm greetings and gratitude of the villagers. To celebrate the defeat of these monsters, they also held a grand banquet. These militias are invited to participate. Joseph, on the other hand, was not in the mood to attend such a banquet, but dragged his tired body towards his home. But before he could turn away. Suddenly, a voice rang out.
"Please stay, Mr. Joseph."
Hearing this, Joseph turned to look curiously, and then saw a middle-aged man in paladin armor walking towards him, accompanied by the mayor. Seeing this paladin, Joseph couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"Is there anything you want me to do?"
"Yes, Mr. Joseph."
Hearing Joseph's inquiry, the paladin smiled and nodded.
"On behalf of the Templar Order, I invite you to the Tower of the White White......... There is one very important thing. Need your help. ”
"Huh?"
Hearing the paladin's answer, Joseph, a militiaman born in a border village, was stunned.
And almost at the same time, a similar scene was quietly going on in various parts of the mainland.
"I heard the sound of the wind, it was the call of the goddess of the forest............"
Standing under the lush World Tree, the Elven Queen, dressed in a pale turquoise dress, closed her eyes, a solemn look flashed on her face, and then she turned around. He looked at the girl in leather armor and carrying a hunting bow behind him.
"The Goddess is calling you, my child, the time has come........."
"Yes. Mother, I will live up to your trust! ”
Hearing the Elven Queen's words, the elven girl in leather armor nodded. Then he turned and walked away. At that moment, it was as if she had made some difficult decision.
"Boom!!"
The heavy wooden door was pushed open. A dwarven warrior strode in, coughing at the oncoming smoke. But even so, he looked inside, and then shouted.
"Muradin!! Muradin is not here, come out quickly!! Someone is looking for you in the White Tower! There is an emergency!! ”
"The White Tower?"
Hearing the dwarven warrior's words, a dwarf who was pounding his iron sword hard by the fire looked up, stretched out his hand to wipe the soot from his face, and blinked in confusion.
"I don't have much to do with those tin cans outside, what are they coming to me for?"
"How do I know!"
Hearing Muradin's questioning question, the dwarven warrior didn't bother to answer, and directly pulled Muradin and walked outside.
"All in all, it's a big deal, and even Mistress Magni is alarmed! Hurry up and come with me!! ”
"Well, wait a minute, my sword hasn't been ready yet, so you can't wait......... Alas, you ............!! ”
No matter how much Muradin's struggle, he couldn't break free from the iron claws of the dwarven warrior, only to see him be pulled out like this, and then with a "bang", the heavy wooden door closed again, and everything returned to its original state.
"Alas........."
Leaning back in the iron cage, Wood lazily played with the straw pole in his hand. As a thief, it wasn't the first time he had been caught here. But Wood knew very well that this would probably be the last time he would enter this cell. After all, he stole into Lord Barbary's mansion this time, although there was a reason for the incident, but this big family with strong local power is no better than those traveling merchants, and this time I am afraid that he will go to the gallows directly.
"Squeak.........
The closed cell door was pushed open, followed by a series of chaotic footsteps. Hearing this voice, Wood pursed his lips helplessly, it seemed that his good days were finally over. And at that moment, suddenly, a deep voice rang in Wood's ears.
"You're Wood. Parker? ”
Hearing this, Wood looked up, and then he was surprised to find a paladin standing outside the iron prison, looking at him with a solemn expression.
Jenn wasn't interested in what was happening on Klein's continent, in fact, he was back in Passus and was working on his own real estate development at a leisurely pace. Unfortunately, things don't seem to be as smooth as expected............
"Because many places on the mainland are full of dangers at the moment, our work has been greatly hindered, and many previous commissions have been cancelled. Lord, we ........."
Standing respectfully in front of Jenn, Yunique also cried and said helplessly. It's no wonder that Jenn's original intention was to re-establish the reputation of the Star Chamber of Commerce by building the new city of Passus. In fact, all the preliminary work is going well, the beautiful and magnificent buildings of the new city of Passus have entered the ears of many local lords, and the Star Chamber of Commerce, which Unicole is in charge of, has also received some commissions to build fortresses and renovate the city these days.
But with the sudden change in the situation on the mainland, these commissions have become a piece of waste paper. After all, in the face of the current situation, no one has the heart to carry out such a transformation. Instead, most of the money should be spent on equipping the army to deal with the invasion of evil forces, and as for things like building new cities, it will naturally have to be put on hold.
This made Yunique very depressed, originally she planned to do a good job, but she didn't expect that kung fu things would turn out like this in the blink of an eye.
"I can't blame you for this, after all, the plan hasn't changed quickly........."
Jenn didn't take Eucole to heart, he just waved his hand casually, indicating that he didn't care about this little thing. However, after a while, Jenn looked at the plan handed in by Yunique in front of him, and then his eyes lit up.
"Eucole, are you saying that you plan to wait for the new city to be completed, and then invite the members of those forces to come and watch the ceremony?"
"Yes, my lord."
Although I don't know why Jenn asked this question, Yunique still answered honestly.
"I would like to take advantage of the completion of the new city to invite representatives of some nearby forces to attend the ceremony, and at the same time, to promote the reputation of our Star Chamber of Commerce........."
Speaking of this, Yuni couldn't help but feel a little depressed. During this time, she ran around and knew how famous the Passus Leader was on the Eagle Plateau. If you can take advantage of the construction of the new city to hype up the relationship between the Star Chamber of Commerce and the Passus Collar, then those previous customers may come back. But now that something like this has happened on the mainland, she doesn't know what to do.
But when she said this, Yunacle also glanced at Jenn cautiously, as a businessman, of course she had to run around. In fact, before Yunacle proposed this plan, she had discussed it with Enoya. In Eucole's opinion, for a big man like Jenn, the construction of a new city must be a big deal. And when the new city is completed, he will definitely invite representatives of many powerful forces to come and watch the ceremony. What Yuniquele didn't expect at all was that in the face of her inquiry, Enoa told her with certainty that her lord had no plan to invite anyone to attend the ceremony, which made Yunique really unable to figure it out, logically speaking, her lord shouldn't make such a mistake, right?
"That's a good idea, but you're still a little too tender, Eucole. You are a businessman, and what a businessman has to do is sell them what customers want to buy, and now they don't want to buy what you have prepared, so it's better to sell them another one. ”
"Another one?"
Hearing Jenn's words, Yunecle was stunned for a moment.
"Your Lord, what do you mean..............."
And this time, in the face of Eucole's inquiry, Jenn did not answer immediately. Instead, he smiled meaningfully, and then asked rhetorically.
"I'll send someone to do it, but Yunicole ......... I don't know if you're interested in digging holes? ”
"Digging a hole?"
Hearing Jenn's inquiry, Yunecle was stunned for a moment. Didn't the lord say that she wanted her to turn the Star Chamber of Commerce into a chamber of commerce specifically responsible for construction? Now why is it about digging a hole again? (To be continued.) )
