Under the new administrative system, the news of the king's imminent coronation soon spread from west to north and caused an uproar everywhere.

Unlike in the past, when merchants and boatmen relied on merchants and boatmen to deliver news, the city halls in various places posted announcements in the most conspicuous places in towns and arranged for commentators to explain, as if they intended to let the common people know about the royal family's decisions. With such an official attitude, the heat of the matter swept through the streets of the city in just a few days, and the relevant discussions could be heard everywhere you went, as if even the cold of winter had faded a little.

The "underground trumpeters" of the old royal capital were no exception, after all, the tavern was always a gathering place for hot news, and sitting by the fire and drinking a glass of ale and muttering about rumors heard from nowhere was one of the few forms of entertainment for the common people.

As the new owner of the trumpeter, Black Hammer has been smiling almost from ear to ear in recent days. After the winter, the business of the tavern was much quieter, and after the news of his accession to the throne, the place returned to its former bustle, and his mood rose as he saw that his income was rising.

It can be expected that this discussion will continue until His Majesty officially completes his coronation and the dust settles.

The decision to ascend the throne in the Evil Moon was a wise decision, and if he could see His Majesty in person, he would not hesitate to lean down and kiss His Majesty's boottips reverently.

After all, there is nothing more lovely in this world than a golden dragon.

Of course, with their status as former rats, the chances of being allowed to get close to Roland Wimbledon are slim to none, and it would be nice to see Lord Tassa in person.

At this point, Black Hammer is a little self-aware.

You must know that today's Tasa is not the down-and-out patrol captain of the past, or the nameless guard of the fourth prince, since the defeat of Tifeko's struggle for the king, he has already faintly had the signs of the first person in the old royal capital. The tavern owner, Najib, who used to not even give a rat a straight eye, was sent to a remote place by him with a word. Later, in the black street clean-up operation, they were also able to shed the coat of skull fingers and become official citizens because of Tasa's advice, and they also took over the underground trumpeter tavern by the way.

This promotion grace, Black Hammer does not dare to forget at all.

He planned to pull on the silver ring, clay pot, and little finger before the other party left the old royal capital, and pay a good visit to thank him - although it would cost an extra gold dragon, as long as the relationship was maintained, he would be able to earn it back sooner or later.

Other than that, he didn't forget what he had to do.

That is to gather information for Lord Tassa—whether it is the boasting of the vendors or the travelers' experiences on the road, as long as there is something in it that the adults are interested in, he must record it and report it to the contactor.

Now, obviously, the most important thing to watch out for is the potential rebels.

For example, the guests at table 6 -

"Don't you think this fact is too much of a coincidence?" exclaimed a red-faced businessman, "It is enough to ascend the throne in such a hurry, and His Majesty has just announced that he is going to marry a barren witch, and he just got the news that the eldest prince's widow is still alive and has given birth to a son, so it is unreasonable to look at it!"

This was echoed by some people, "I heard that His Royal Highness Goron is not a woman at all, and there are even rumors that he is having an affair with a certain young knight, why did an unmarried wife suddenly appear?"

"Really?"

"You are not from the royal capital, so naturally I don't know, compared to the second prince and the fourth prince, he rarely even attends banquets, which is still not wrong. ”

"And think about it," said the merchant again, "Your Majesty only said that he would recall the two of them to Neverwinter, but did not specify the identity of the widow, is this not a deliberate attempt to leave controversy and focus everyone's attention on the qualifications of the inheritance? ”

"What the hell are you ...... What do you want to say?"

"What do you mean by something really deadly?"

"That's the witch!" he poured himself a large sip of wine, "they secretly controlled Your Majesty, and created the so-called widow and child, just to distract us from our ruse and to achieve control of the Grey Keep!"

The audience was in an uproar, "Can a witch still make a man?"

"I tell you, there's nothing they can't make!" said the merchant, "any stone that floats on the water, let alone a person? It is because of these monsters that no one has come to rent my ship now! Of course, I am afraid that it is impossible to make a flawless man now, so the witch needs time, and when they are completely successful, the child will not need it!"

"Hahahaha...... I think you're crazy, don't you think that Your Majesty is the only one in the palace, and there is only one Stone of Divine Punishment by his side?" everyone burst into laughter, and the tavern was filled with a happy atmosphere for a while.

"You—hiccup—laugh, the miners of Silverlight have been replaced by witch-made things, and the river is full of Neverwinter's stone boats, and I wonder if you'll be able to laugh when it's your turn!" said the merchant with a wide tongue.

Well, although the value of this information is not high, but there is a rebellion in my heart, it is also a rebellion...... Black Hammer picked up a charcoal pen, scribbled down the other party's characteristics on a piece of paper, and the words "slander the royal family, harbor malice towards witches", and stuffed it into an inconspicuous slit in the back of the wine cabinet.

If nothing else, the police department will react quickly, and by the time the businessman goes out, he will probably be arrested. As for whether the other party has rebelled or not, that is the task of the interrogator, and it has nothing to do with him.

......

At the same time, the Earl's Court in the inner city.

"How's this dress?" Joko said, gesturing a high-necked gown made of fine fabric on his chest, "Doesn't it look too strong?"

The answerer was Denise Payton, a businesswoman he had befriended in the capital of the Dawn King. She leaned lazily on the head of the bed, pulling up half of the quilt to cover her chest, "I haven't seen you so active when I was dating, and now I haven't even received an invitation, and I'm in a hurry to get ready to leave as soon as I hear the news?"

"His Majesty Roland and I have been old friends for more than ten years, and any other invitations are needed for such a friendship, which are all for outsiders to see. Joko shook his clothes, "You haven't answered my question yet, what do you think of this?"

"Honestly, you're pretty much dressed in everything," Denise yawned, "and it's not you who attract me anyway." But if you're going to Wudong, what should I do?"

"Uh," he hesitated, "if you want to have fun, I might be able to introduce you to a few good ......."

"Not interested," Denise interrupted bluntly, "I prefer my own targets, and besides, I've come all the way from Glow City to find you, and that's how you're hospitality?"

Yoko knew that he was wrong, so he sighed and said, "Then what do you want?"

The businesswoman raised the corners of her mouth, "Take me to Wudong with you." I'd long wanted to see what the king who turned the morning sun upside down. ”

"This ......"

"Since we have been friends for more than ten years, Your Majesty must have invited you to his dinner, right?" Denise lifted the quilt, rolled over and got out of bed, and walked up to Yoko, "When the time comes, you can just take me as a partner." I've been with you to so many banquets when I'm in Glow, you've got to fulfill my little wish this time, right?" she put her arms around Yoko's neck and put her lips to his ear, "Don't worry, I know you have someone you really want to meet...... Not only will I not interfere with you, but I may even help you. ”

......

As the news spread, both civilians and new local officials got busy.

But the man at the center of the vortex is completely unaware.

It wasn't until a week later that the shallow heavy gunship Roland arrived in the northern city of Eternal Night.

This peace was finally broken.
