Chapter 340 Let’s talk first and you’ll hand it over later
Holy capital.
As the Chinese New Year approaches, even ordinary people living in this extremely solemn religious city have a look of excitement on their faces unconsciously.
Since this is true even for ordinary civilians, let alone the nobles of the Holy Empire.
Although wars continued throughout the year, the Holy Empire was hardly affected by any war. The only time when the highest alert occurred was because an unknown thief with powerful magic stole all the food stored by the Holy Empire's coalition forces in one night. In the end, the military headquarters had to
The whole country is on alert and checkpoints have been set up at all levels.
Looking at the disappointed expressions of the soldiers who returned home at the end, as well as the large number of certain officers who were dismissed from their posts, it was no surprise that the food was not recovered until the end.
Not long ago, the arrival of the Light God Clan made the residents of the entire Holy City extremely excited, and also put a lot of pressure on the nobles of the Holy City.
Fortunately, the temple is responsible for all security issues, otherwise if the alien spy who was finally exposed blew himself up in his own hands, many nobles would probably be implicated as a result.
Of course, seeing the army of the Holy Empire and the angels of the Gods surrounded by the temple leave, the happiest person was the former general of the Holy Empire and the current Sheriff of the Holy City.
Strictly speaking, after the last purge of power, the power of the Holy Empire general who has always protected himself has shrunk a lot. To describe it as plummeting is no exaggeration.
But the general of the Holy Empire was very tolerant.
After all, for him, after enjoying enough rights and prosperity, as long as his wife and baby daughter are intact and spend the rest of his life peacefully, it is more important than anything else.
Haven't you seen what happened to those who planned to jump up and down in the all-out purge before the Holy Empire?
The door clicks all over and can be considered light!
Although the general's wise and self-protective attitude made the Guangming Priest, um, now the Guangming Emperor, very unhappy, in order to appease the centrists and show his magnanimity, the general was only transferred to a less important position, and the family
Wealth and other things remain untouched.
In this way, although the Holy City Sheriff does not have much power, the connections and wealth accumulated in the past make the nobles of the entire Holy City not to underestimate him.
Sometimes, things from uncommon people can even pass through, and from time to time, some people from different religions and schools will send various "gifts".
"Father, you are back." The sheriff's daughter Carina took off her father's cloak. "The hot soup is ready."
"My precious daughter, did you behave well in class today?" The sheriff looked at his daughter lovingly.
"Farewell, those newly raised aristocratic children are uncultured and overindulged. They are all soft-footed shrimps. In the end, they were beaten to the ground by me." Karina shook her fist to show that she was strong.
.
"My daughter, when will you bring a male aristocratic talent to me for me to see?" the Sheriff said helplessly, pinching his daughter's nose.
"Huh. No one in the Holy City can take notice of you now." After rolling her eyes, Karina carefully snuggled into her father's arms after confirming that no one was around. "Father, you know where Prince West is going?
Where is it?"
"Don't even think about it!" The father looked at his daughter with a serious expression. "He is now a heretic and a guy on the must-kill list of the Light God Clan. Forget about him. It is impossible for you."
"I'm just asking, why are you so mean to me?" Looking at each other unwilling to be outdone, Karina took the hot soup made by her father and walked away without looking back.
"Baby girl, where's my dinner?" Seeing Karina slamming the door of the restaurant, the father of the Sheriff shouted helplessly.
"How can we eat when a beautiful woman comes to our door?" Karina's weak voice came from inside the gate. "Our Finance Minister sent another beautiful woman who is said to be very good at giving birth to my poor father.
It's very 'sincere' to donate your own blood!"
"Madam, open the door!" The sheriff slapped the thick wooden door helplessly and cried pitifully.
"Well, I have lived with my husband for sixteen years, and there is no other bloodline left except Karina. My husband has long wanted to divorce me and find another woman." In the restaurant, my wife's resentful voice came from the restaurant.
.
Immediately, his wife's laughter and curses came from the restaurant.
"Carina, how dare you imitate my voice and say such things to your father!"
"Mother, I don't dare!"
Although the sound of his wife and daughter's fights kept coming from the hall, the restaurant door was still tightly closed, as if he had forgotten that the head of the family was standing outside.
The poor head of the family shook his head and walked to his room.
According to his butler, a beautiful woman sent by the Minister of Finance is waiting for him there.
His wife is definitely not a woman who is good at jealousy. Just like he has deep trust in his wife, his wife absolutely trusts him and will never admit that he will mess around. Since the wife and daughter leave the evening time to
By herself, it proves that she has her own profound meaning.
At most, the Sheriff of the Holy City only has one more woman in his mansion. What else do I have to fear?
It’s not like you can’t afford it, right?
Bliss!
The door to the Sheriff's room was opened, and a woman who was indeed of good looks was sitting on her bed with her eyes closed.
"Miss, I wonder if we can have a chat?" The nearly forty-year-old sheriff acted like a gentleman and sat next to the woman's voice.
"This lady?" When the curious woman didn't respond, the woman suddenly fell to the side and lay unconscious on the sheriff's bed.
And a girl's figure appeared in the Sheriff's room.
"Who are you!" The Sheriff pulled out his dagger from the wall with his backhand and pointed it directly at the girl who suddenly appeared in the room, shouting loudly.
...
"Excuse me." I took off my hood and looked at the former Holy Empire general in front of me. "We'll talk about the 'interaction' between you later. I'm here to 'talk' to you."
"Rebellion, heresy!" After seeing the color of my hair and eyes clearly, the Sheriff in front of me took a deep breath. "Are you here to attack the Holy City?!"
"Relax, I have set up a magic barrier around you. No one will know about our conversation." I casually pulled out a chair and sat on it and said slowly. "You don't need to look so righteous."
"I don't know what the leader of the foreign race has to talk to this poor sheriff like me." After glancing at the woman on the bed, the sheriff stared at me.
"Don't worry, she can't hear anything now." I glanced at the girl on the bed prepared by the Finance Minister, and said casually. "I just came here to tell you that West is working with us right now."
"So what, the former royal family has long been history, and West has become a heretic." The dagger raised by the sheriff in front of him did not waver at all. "Although I swear to be loyal to the royal family, my life is more important!
"
"Oh, but soon, the Holy Empire will be overthrown just like the Shadow Empire, and you, the useless Sheriff West, may not let you go. Your daughter's name is Karina, right? I heard
She is very beautiful."
"Is this how you heretics threaten others and sacrifice your lives?" The uncle in front of me looked at me with contempt.
"Usually I point a knife at someone's back and ask them to do things for me." I shook my head. "If it weren't for West, I think rebuilding is far more convenient than shuffling."
"What do you want me to do?" The uncle in front of him seemed to have something else in his eyes.
"Just do your job well. At some point, we don't want to see the Holy Empire in chaos. That's it." I shrugged.
"Is it that simple?" The sheriff looked in disbelief.
"It's that simple!" I nodded.
"You have to know that you will lose your head when you do things!" The sheriff looked at me with his eyes.
"If we fail, you can just pretend that I haven't been here, and there will be no loss to you." I glared back with disdain.
"I have a condition!" the Sheriff's uncle wrote in the air.
"No problem, it's settled." I took out a stack of paper and started writing a temporary agreement.
"That's it, bye."
After putting away the signed agreement that was useless at critical times and useless at ordinary times, I opened the dimensional door and prepared for the next location ahead.
...
Looking at the disappeared figure, and then at the unconscious woman sent by the Finance Minister, the Sheriff nodded clearly. (To be continued...)
