Chapter 186: Solid Stone City

It's late autumn.

With the original green mountains dyed red and yellow, it is time for the harvest again. People are getting busy again, with farmers harvesting crops, storing grain, and preparing for the winter. Merchants were also busy collecting goods so that they could sell them for a good price before winter came. Even the ruling aristocracy began to calculate the year's gains and losses, and to ensure that the Sabbath at the end of the year would once again end with a grand and sumptuous feast.

The knights on their horses galloped forward with the pitch-black carriage, and the two tracks of the ornate and elegant body and the glowing lights of the car attracted everyone's attention like flags. Even the peasants, who were busy harvesting crops in the fields, involuntarily raised their heads and looked at the carriage in front of them, curiously guessing which big man had passed by.

However, Jenn was clearly not interested in the prying eyes, and at the moment he was sitting in the carriage, listening to Deli explain the process of the election of the governor of the Skar Federation.

"The consuls of the Skar Confederation are elected through the guò election, and there are twelve lords in the confederation, and more than half of them need the support of them to become the new consuls. Of these, we, the Pawood family and the Soros family, each have four votes of support. So all we have to do is win the approval of the remaining four neutral lords. But this has little to do with us, as the sword and shield of the Pawood family, we only need to show our strength in the martial arts arena. ”

"I really didn't expect that there would be people willing to support your Pawood family."

Hearing this, Jenn blinked. And in the face of his answer. Dai Li sighed helplessly.

"Mr. Jenn, I think you may be mistaken. Our goal at the Pawood family is to bring the increasingly loose alliance together again, not for personal selfishness. And in the current state of the Skar Federation. Whoever wants to be a king is absolutely impossible. That's why we've had a great relationship with the other lords. There are several lords who agree with my father's philosophy, and they believe that we should not quarrel over the small profits in the present, but should focus more on the long-term future........."

.

Jenn didn't believe what Deli said, if he had done before, he might have agreed with the Pawood patriarch's so-called "long-term view", but after Jenn had tested the other party, he had fully confirmed that the current patriarch of the Pawood family definitely had considerable ambitions. I just don't know if the Deli in front of me knows this. Although in Jenn's opinion, this noble lady lives up to her reputation as a mage, and her brain is also very flexible. And she had gone through the whole process of Jenn's deal with her father, and with a little brain, the eldest lady should be able to see that her father's reasons were at least not as high-sounding as she said now.

It's just that people have feelings, even if they are smart, as long as they are not a person without blood and tears, they will be more or less affected by their feelings. Thus making wrong judgments and choices. So Jenn doesn't know whether the current Dali is pretending to be confused after knowing her father's thoughts, or if she doesn't think about it in that way. After all, this eldest lady is still too young, she is only a girl less than twenty years old, no matter how talented she is. After all, it will not reach an understandable height of speculation on people's hearts.

But since then.........

Thinking of this, Jenn glanced at Dellie meaningfully.

For him, this may be a very good breakthrough.

"Mr. Jenn?"

Sensing Jenn's gaze. Dai Li couldn't help frowning. She didn't have a lot of contact with Jenn, but it was a lot. For this young nobleman. Deli thinks she still knows something, proud. Capricious, strong. And very smart, in addition to the tough attitude that makes people complain, among the younger generation that Deli knows, the gentleman in front of him is quite a dazzling star. So in private, Deli still has a very good sense of Jenn.

Of course, it would be better if he could maintain a more gentlemanly demeanor in front of him, instead of always being tough on her from getting off the stage.

But just now, when Jenn was looking at Deli, the girl felt a chill for no reason. It wasn't the chill that was watched by the squinting eyes of the disciples. It was more like the smell of death in the open jaws of some beast, and for a moment, Dali even felt the beast's cold, hard teeth against her neck, and just biting down hard was enough to tear her through.

However, this feeling only lasted for a moment, and the next moment it returned to normal. This made Dai Li also a little distracted, I don't know if it was some kind of illusion caused by her long trip just now, but out of caution, she still looked at the man in front of her suspiciously, a woman's intuition told her that this man didn't seem to be as simple as it seemed.

However, Jenn didn't care about Deli's gaze, he didn't seem to know what had just happened, and gestured to Deli.

"Please continue, Miss Delly."

"Ah, okay."

Hearing this, Dai Li came back to her senses, she first nodded with a confused look, but quickly re-put on her serious expression and spoke again.

"The main venue of this meeting is in Solid Stone, which is the domain of Lord Sulet, a neutral lord who is chosen for every council of the Federation. Rock City is a peaceful, beautiful and hospitable city, and I think you will love it, Mr. Jenn. And I want to ..............."

However, before she could finish her words, suddenly, the carriage that had been speeding forward began to slow down, and then gradually stopped. Aware of this, Dali and Jenn were stunned. They looked up and looked out through the guò window. You can see the roads on both sides, as well as the convoys and people waiting in line to enter the city. But it shouldn't have anything to do with them, right, what the hell is this.........

Just when Daily was wondering. I saw a knight of the Pawood family who was in charge of opening the way in front of him come to the side of the carriage, and his face was stern. But with a little irritation.

"What's wrong? What happened? ”

Seeing the expression of the family knight, Dai Li knew that something seemed wrong, but she didn't know why she was stopped. In the face of Deli's inquiry, the family knight hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.

"That's right, Miss, the other party forbade us to enter the city........."

"What?!"

Hearing this, Daily was taken aback. Her eyes widened and she looked at each other in disbelief.

"They refused us access to the city? Why? ”

"This ......... They said that because of the harvest festival near the end of autumn, in order to ensure the safety of Solid Stone City, all convoys entering and leaving the city should be checked........."

"Are we going to be interrogated by the other party too?!"

Deli interrupted the family knight's words in disbelief, and for the first time there was unparalleled anger on her beautiful face. What kind of international joke is this? They had come here on behalf of the Pawood family to attend the Federal Council, and the knights of the family in front of them were holding high the banner of the Pawood family, which had already revealed their identity to everyone. According to etiquette, the other party should open the city gate directly and welcome them in. But what Deli didn't expect was this. This time, instead of opening the gates to welcome them, the people of Solid Stone City hindered them in every way under the pretext of conducting an investigation!!

For such a reason as a harvest sacrifice, Deli absolutely did not believe it, and this was not the first time that the Federal Council had been convened. It's this time of year every time, and I've never encountered anything like this before. But she didn't understand why the other party would make it so difficult for her this time. This is simply too much!! Do you want them to go back the way they came, to line up with the caravans and the outcasts?

Come to think of it. Deli looked up and glanced through the window at the long line.

There's really no end in sight...............

"Mr. Jenn. I'm so sorry, I didn't expect it to be .........."

At this moment, Dai Li's face was also a little embarrassed after being angry, after all, she had just told Jenn that Solid Rock City was a quiet, beautiful and hospitable city, but she didn't expect the other party to slap her face so quickly, which made Dai Li angry and wanted to throw a fireball directly over and blow all those bastards to pieces. But now, in front of Jenn, she still has to maintain some ladylike demeanor more or less.

It's just that compared to Deli's anger, Jenn seems quite calm.

"It's nothing, Miss Delly, you don't need to be so excited. In fact, it's just a minor nuisance........."

As he spoke, Jenn waved his hand. And with his movements, the carriage that had been stopped began to move forward again.

"Mr. Jenn?"

Sensing that the carriage was moving forward again, Dai Li was slightly stunned, I don't know why, at this moment, the girl had a rather bad premonition in her heart. But before she could say anything more, I saw that the carriage had picked up speed again, passed through the knights escorting the convoy, and rushed towards the direction of the gate of Solid Stone City!!

"What's going on? What the hell is that carriage trying to do!? ”

"Damn, hurry up and stop it!!"

Seeing this carriage rushing towards the city gate, the guards in charge of guarding the city gate were also shocked. Jenn's magic carriage didn't need a person to drive it, so in their eyes, the black carriage in front of them looked like it was crazy and no one was controlling it, and it looked extremely dangerous. Seeing that the carriage was about to crash into the city gate, the surrounding pedestrians also let out a frightened cry and quickly retreated in all directions. Not only that, but even the soldiers who were standing at the gate of the city to guard screamed in fright after seeing the carriage, and kept retreating, and some even sat on the ground in fright, watching in despair as the black shadow grew bigger and bigger, and ran straight towards them.

But what everyone didn't expect was that the pitch-black carriage did not directly hit the city gate as everyone imagined, on the contrary, at the moment when the carriage was about to make contact with the soldiers, they suddenly stopped in unison, and then saw that the carriage that was originally rampage suddenly stopped without the slightest wavering.

"Who dares to go wild in Solid Rock City!!"

Seeing this scene, the guards didn't know that they were being tricked. They clenched their weapons and stared at the carriage in front of them with wide eyes, eager to rush up and pull each other down and beat each other hard! You must know that just now they even thought that they would be hit by this carriage and died, but they were scared, and there were a lot of ugliness, and some people even almost peed their pants in fright. Thinking back to the previous scene at this moment, these guards are naturally annoyed and angry, you must know that this is in full view of everyone!! In addition to them, there are also citizens and caravans who are entering and leaving the city waiting for inspection!!

Thinking of this, the guards became more and more angry, and without anyone giving an order, they had already clenched their long swords and rushed directly to surround the carriage.

"Get out of here!! You thugs!! This is Solid Rock City, not a place where you can go wild!! ”

But before the guards could finish their words, they saw a flash of fire in the sky not far away.

The next moment, a spear shining with silver brilliance fell from the sky and bombarded the city gates. (To be continued......)
