Chapter 4: The City of Khobar
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The first is that the new book is like a cup of light tea, which needs to be tasted slowly, and a lot of foreshadowing is in it, and there are all kinds of things that can be sought.
Kubal City: "What your Excellency said is that those damned merchants don't take you seriously with a few dollars, and we can still use this opportunity to ......." Director Yuli said excitedly.
"Yuri, it's better not to do this, because Lord Lori is a magician, a magician, Yuri, not an ordinary person!"
"My lord, I know I'm wrong. Yuli then also woke up, those guys around him are hateful, but this time he is facing a magician, although Yuli doesn't know much about magicians, but no matter what powerful nobles, there is no one who is not afraid of magicians, and in the empire is a strict order, if a magician commits a crime, then it must be tried by the Imperial Inspectorate, the Imperial Inspectorate, a powerful institution that will not accept the dispute of the nobles under the earl.
"Well, go and prepare, prepare! The magician is very picky about food, so Manager Yuri will stay at home and get ready, while Quif will go with me to Kubal City, where there is a branch of the Wizards' Union, where we can invite Lord Lori, and Yuri will prepare enough gold coins, if possible, our new guard this time will stimulate his talent by the way. Then Viscount Locke commanded.
"Yes, my lord!" said Captain Ully and Quief, bowing in agreement, and the two of them saw the maid serving the food, and consciously withdrew from the dining-room, for the nobles did not speak during their meals.
"Administrator Yuli, I took few people away this time, after all, the territory is the key, besides, although we have a lot of gold coins this time, but fortunately, there is no burden, so there is no need for servants, after I leave, Manager Yuli and the deputy captain of Rio should take care of each other, and be sure to ensure the safety of the territory. After Kui walked out, he discussed with Supervisor Yuri.
"Hehe, there's nothing to do, the food is not ripe yet, thieves won't come to destroy, and those guys around us who are afraid of death are very rich to equip those garbage guards, I think those titles exchanged for money are far less important than a military title, as long as the leader of the thieves group has a little brain, it will not anger the sensitive nerves of the empire. Manager Yuri explained with a smile.
"Yes, military titles are very valued by the empire, after all, the empire relies on these soldiers to defend the empire. Quief nodded as well.
The two chatted again for a while, and then they parted ways, while Cook was talking to his sister Lily about tomorrow's trip, and Lily asked curiously, "Brother, brother, is the city of Khobar far away?"
"Hehe, not far, not far. "How did Cook know what Al Khobar City was like.
"Lily, stop pestering my brother, let him rest well. Old Hill looked at the warm appearance of the two siblings in the dim light of pine resin, and a feeling of happiness filled his heart. The pine resin here is a kind of oil knot on the pine tree, this oil knot is yellow-brown when split, and it becomes one by one after splitting, which is very flammable, and the brightness is okay, but it is black smoke and dust.
"Yes, father, brother, Lily went to rest. Lily said to the two of them very well, and then entered a dark room inside.
"Cook, it's 10 silver coins, take it on the way in case there's an urgent ....... Old Hill trembled and took out a money bag from his underwear, most of which were copper coins, two gold coins, and several silver coins, and Old Hill counted ten silver coins and handed them to Cook.
"Father, no, these ten silver coins are still kept in the family, I am now a guard, food and clothing are provided by Lord Viscount, and I can also advance a part of my salary. "Cook's scalp was a little numb, and if his father knew that he had two gold coins, but in exchange for the profession of guard, he would definitely be mad.
"Alas, little Cook, now that you have grown up, you don't want to interfere too much when you become a father, but the position of guard you paid for two gold coins is not worth it in your father's eyes, but you are already an adult, so your father is not willing to interfere with you too much, but after becoming a guard, you must do a good job of guarding. Old Hill's ensuing words nearly sent Cook to the ground.
"Father!" Cook felt sour.
"Alas, you have your own choice, although I don't know why, but I support you, you take these ten silver coins, and go to the city to see them, my father is old, and he can't walk. Old Hill shoved the silver coin in his hand to Cook, and said earnestly.
"Father, I just don't want to, I don't want us to live forever in this damp wooden house, others are human beings, we are human beings, why do we have to do this?" Cook said loudly.
"Ambition, ambition, if my father had such ambition as you, maybe, don't say it, don't say it!" Old Hill looked at his son's appearance, as if he had returned to his young self, and said with tears in his eyes.
"Father, don't worry, your son will definitely come out of the mix, at least a nobleman. That's Cook's biggest wish right now.
Early the next morning, Cook left his family and walked into the castle of Lord Locke in a thick fog, and the surrounding lords were also here, because after Lord Count left, in addition to the necessary patrols outside, there were some people who had to enter and exit, and everyone would stay in the castle, after all, the safety of a territory was not to be seen.
"Yuli, after I leave, you should not let the things that Lord Lori is going to do to those guys around you, so that there will definitely be no danger to the security of our territory. Viscount Locke mounted on his mount and finally commanded Yuri.
"Yes, my lord, there is still a price to be paid for such news. Yuri replied thoughtfully.
"You can just look at it. Viscount Locke understood Yuri's words and left, while the Viscountess waved at her husband from the window.
"Cook, you guys have to follow closely, it's a training session. "Quief and the two knights each have a mount, and one of them has a pack horse, mainly to transport some weapons and armor, and some necessities, and one of the knights also has a nobleman's badge on the tip of his spear, which is the status badge of Viscount Locke, as long as the nobleman knows it at a glance.
"Uh!" said Cook, who was stunned for he and a few of the fellows were on the road, as well as Quief and one of the two knights' horsemen with pack horses.
"Alright, Quief, you're in the center. Narris, Kidd, Break off!Forward!" Viscount Locke ordered loudly, and Cook saw two knights one in front of the other, each about a hundred meters away from the middle, obviously the way of marching, and then Viscount Locke shook his hand, and the mount moved forward skillfully with small steps.
"Damn, I actually want to run!" Cook was mentally disgusted, looking at the rest of his companions, they were all muscular guys, and they were weak, there was no way, Cook knew that these guys were too good to eat, so they had to enter the guard department, although they were running, but they were not sprinting, because the mount must ensure that there was residual combat power, but Cook looked at those knights swaying on horseback, and his heart was uncomfortable, and he cursed in his heart, but his footsteps did not stop.
