270. If something goes wrong, I'll take the blame

Gallo and Mader were done talking, so they quickly went outside to rent a carriage, and then went to Mader's shop to help with the move.

There were a lot of things to move, and it would definitely be impossible to move them all in one trip. Mader could only take some belongings and valuables with him, stay in the apartment first, and then look back at the situation.

Of course, the most ideal result is for his brother to quit and stop causing trouble, so that he will have enough time to slowly clean up, tidy up, and then patiently look for a better new home.

As for now, he can only bring all the most valuable dolls in the store.

The two of them kept tossing and tossing until almost night before they reluctantly allowed Mader to move into the new apartment.

The reason why so much time was wasted was because the driver of the car was causing trouble. He saw the two of them getting into the car with several beautiful, beautiful, but silent and expressionless beautiful girls, and took the two of them into the car.

Misunderstood and became a cultist who abducted and trafficked women.

He had heard in the tavern that in order to prevent their victims from escaping, those despicable cultists would use magic to control others and turn them into dolls without consciousness and unable to resist!

So he took advantage of Gallo and Mader not paying attention, made a sudden turn, rushed the carriage into a public security station, and shouted:

"My lord! My lord! I caught two human traffickers!"

Then a group of police officers surrounded the two people with weapons...

In the end, Gallo and Mader spent a lot of time explaining the situation clearly, wasting a lot of time.

Although the coachman apologized profusely, he did not charge the two for their carriage.

But Gallo always felt that when he walked out of the Sheriff's Department, there was something wrong with the way the sheriffs looked at him?

It's like he's sizing up two perverts...

After Gallo closed the church and went home with the old bishop, several dragons who had been out for a visit just happened to come back for dinner.

They seem to have a lot of things on their bodies and hands, including children's toys, exquisite pocket watches, music boxes that can emit pleasant melodies, crystal balls that can make snow, etc. Most of them are human handicrafts.

The great elder even held a plush whale doll about the same size as Lilian Luo in his arms, and explained to Gallo with a smile:

"This thing is a bit like Leviathan's cub, but much cuter..."

I don’t know where they got the money to buy these things...

Maybe no money was spent at all?

Lilian Luo had probably been shopping around for a whole day and was tired. She had fallen asleep and was being bitten by her father like a big cat holding a kitten.

As soon as he saw Gallo, her father shook his head coolly and threw Lilian Luo in his mouth to Gallo like a rag doll, without any regard for his daughter's feelings.

I really regarded Lilian Luo as a piece of water thrown away...

Gallo was afraid that she would fall, so he quickly caught her with both hands.

After sending Lillian Luo back to her room and wrapping her up into a silkworm baby, Gallo went back to the living room to chat with the three guests.

The Great Elder was introducing what they saw and heard today:

"We went to many places today, squares, commercial streets, theaters..."

"You humans are indeed very interesting. Your culture, your creations, and your food are all very good, and you can always create new and interesting things."

"The only regret is that I didn't get to see those big balloons floating in the sky. I'm quite curious about that."

"Big balloon?"

Gallo couldn't help but be stunned.

"It should be the aerospace boat floating over from Visa, right?"

The old bishop answered helpfully.

When Gallo heard this, he suddenly looked nervous, jumped up, and exclaimed:

"Those pagans are coming?"

The old bishop quickly grabbed him, asked him to sit down again, and continued to explain:

"Don't talk nonsense. They are the envoys of the Visa Theocracy. They are said to be here for a state visit, but they hope to experience our winter festival in the Innocence City first before heading to the Imperial City."

After hearing this, Gallo shook his head and asked:

"But didn't you say before that the Visans are dangerous and evil, and you don't have good intentions, so be careful and watch out for them? Then how can you allow them to enter the city?"

"Don't worry, don't worry..."

The old bishop smiled and said in detail:

"Of course we here know that they are also very dangerous, and we are naturally opposed to letting them enter the city. But in any case, they came through formal diplomatic channels. We certainly cannot directly drive them away or beat them down. We must use more dignified methods.

s method."

"It is said that the royal family has specially sent a prince to handle this matter. He will politely refuse the Visas' request to enter the city and invite them to stay in another, safe place."

"And we only need to warn them that someone is sneaking in. It's not a big pressure."

"Don't worry, there shouldn't be any problems at the winter festival. You can still build a snowman with Daidai, but...have you made an appointment with her?"

The old bishop thought that he had made it very clear and Gallo should be relieved, but when he turned around and looked, the expression on Gallo's face was not right...

Gallo:Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

"Uh... what's wrong with you? Didn't you have time to ask Dudu out? It's okay. You can ask her out at any time. She will definitely not refuse."

"No, no, no, I'm not worried about this..."

Gallo shook his head repeatedly and explained:

"I'm just worried about the prince..."

If nothing else goes wrong, the prince who is responsible for diplomatic mediation should be Brother Mader. He is probably from the Innocence City for this matter. Catching Madder is just a drop-in.

Otherwise, there is no need for him to come here in person. Wouldn't it be better to let his men take Mader back?

As a result, we met Gallo by chance and almost died in the carriage...

Fortunately, this guy escaped in the end, which made Gallo heave a sigh of relief.

This was the first time he was glad that he had failed...

If this guy really changes his ways, who will stop the Visans?

The old bishop looked at Gallo's ever-changing expression and asked:

"What happened to you? Did you meet that prince?"

"No, no, I went to Mader's shop today."

Gallo didn't dare to admit it because of his guilty conscience, so he could only find an excuse to fool him.

And now that there were three more dragons present, the old bishop didn't want to ask too many questions, so he could only put aside the topic for the time being and let Gallo accompany the elder and the others to go to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

After a dinner in which both host and guest enjoyed themselves, everyone chatted casually for a while and then went to rest.

Before going to bed, Gallo confessed to the goddess with a guilty look on his face:

"Lord Miya, I almost caused a disaster today and committed a serious crime. I hope you can forgive me."

This was one of the few serious confessions he made.

However, the goddess did not hit him with a wooden hammer, which meant that she chose to forgive him.

So he stopped thinking about it and fell asleep peacefully.

--------------------------

When the entire city was gradually falling asleep, a carriage quietly approached the city lord's palace under the cover of night.

Ross, the second prince of the empire, jumped out of the car alone and walked into the city lord's palace.

The guard guarding the door knew him and did not dare to stop him. He quickly led him in and woke up Victor Victor, who had already fallen asleep, and went to the study to discuss matters.

A moment later, the city lord exclaimed in the study:

"What? Your Highness, didn't we agree before? Why did you suddenly change your plan?"

"Why can't we change the plan? As a distinguished guest of the Visa Theocracy, we just want to visit the city. If we can't meet such a simple request, wouldn't it make us look very rude?"

Prince Ross said calmly, then reached out to pick up the glass of red wine next to him, took a sip, and secretly spit out a mouthful of blood from his mouth into the wine glass.

The city lord was full of doubts at this time and did not notice this tiny detail. He still tried his best to dissuade:

"However, we should have made our interests clear to your Highness before. I believe His Majesty had the same idea, so he asked you to take charge of this matter. Why did this suddenly arise?"

After hearing this, Prince Ross' face gradually became ugly, his eyesight became colder, and he said impatiently:

"Since my father has said that I will be responsible for this matter, why not if I want to change my plan temporarily?"

"Even if something unexpected happens, it will be borne by me independently. You only need to execute the order."

"Marquis Victor, have you been the city lord for a long time and have forgotten your identity and become disloyal?"

Hearing that the other party put such a big label of 'disloyalty' on his head, the city lord felt bitter and helpless at the same time.

This is a crime he absolutely dare not bear.

When Prince Rhodes saw that he no longer spoke to him, he asked the city lord to draft relevant documents to allow the Visa envoy to enter the city. He took out his private seal and endorsed it, indicating that this was his order and that if any problems arose, he, the prince, would be responsible.

Come and take the blame.

He also said comfortingly:

"Actually, there is nothing to worry about. The City of Innocence is garrisoned by people from three major orthodox religions, and they also maintain a powerful city defense force. I heard that their equipment is comparable to that of my father's imperial guards?"

"And this city also has a foolproof barrier called the Wall of Sighs, and is guarded by a mysterious angel..."

"That's it. I don't know what you have to worry about. How many people can come from Visa? Even if they want to cause chaos, won't they be easily suppressed?"

After hearing what he said and assuming a responsible attitude, the city lord felt a little more at ease and reluctantly signed the warrant.

For a prince, and a prince who has a good chance of ascending to the throne, no matter how you think about it, it is impossible for him to liaise with an enemy country and bring harm to his own country, right?

After the city lord signed the warrant, Prince Ross nodded with satisfaction and continued:

"Okay, I will inform the Visa envoy tomorrow. They will be very happy to hear the news."

"They should be arriving one after another in the past two days. You must be prepared to receive them and don't make people laugh."

"I have to be busy with this matter too. If there is nothing else, I won't come to you."

These were all reasonable remarks. Naturally, the city lord didn't say much. He just nodded and ordered people to prepare for the reception overnight.

After the matter was settled, Prince Rhodes took the glass of red wine and prepared to leave with satisfaction.

But before he was about to get in the car, he seemed to suddenly remember something. He turned back and asked the city lord who was going out to see him off:

"I visited various cathedrals in the city during the day, and I always heard them mention a man named 'Gallo'. Who is this man?"

The city lord was stunned for a moment, a little surprised, but he didn't think much about it. After all, Bishop Yeck often mentioned this person, and he must be a well-known figure in the religious world. It was normal for the prince to be curious.

So he roughly told some of what he knew:

"He seems to be a magical genius who has suddenly emerged recently. He is proficient in enchantment science and is a new star in the religious world."

"He is very close to the Shenguang Sect, and has a close relationship with Yeke Hongyi and his niece."

"But he is not from one of the three major orthodox sects, but from a rural sect. What is it called the 'Miya sect'?"

"There are too many of these pheasant sects in the city, and I don't know much about them..."

Prince Rhodes listened silently, but when he heard the city lord talking about 'countryside sect' and 'pheasant sect', he quickly turned away, frowned slightly and grinned.

The city lord did not notice this detail and finally said:

"That's all I know. Does Your Highness want to win over this young man?"

"Of course, I will visit him when I have time."

Prince Ross said, got into the carriage and drove away.

The city lord waited for his carriage to go far away, then suddenly realized something and slapped his thigh:

"Why did Your Highness take away my wine glass?"

"Does he like the taste of that wine very much?"

"Oh... I should have given him a bottle if I had known earlier..."

So, when Gallo got up the next day and was brushing his teeth, he suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the street outside.

He quickly bit his toothbrush, foaming at the mouth, and stuck his head out the window to check.

As a result, I saw the neighbors standing on the street, pointing at the sky.

Gallo quickly turned his head and almost swallowed the toothpaste in one gulp.

He saw rows of about a dozen aerostats slowly approaching the City of Innocence!

These pagans really have bad intentions!

Gallo quickly rinsed his mouth and ran to knock on the old bishop's door.

"The enemy is coming!"

The old bishop was suddenly awakened by a fright. He put on a fluff ball nightcap and walked to the window with Gallo, looking at the aerostat getting closer and closer to the city.

"how so?"

After that, he didn't even bother to change his clothes. He just wore pajamas, slippers, and a nightcap, and hurried out to find Bishop Yeck.

Bishop Yeck's home was right next to Misserland's house, not far from them. The old bishop's legs and feet were particularly nimble, so he arrived quickly.

Bishop Yeck didn't seem to notice this yet, and was leisurely reading the newspaper and eating breakfast.

Only when he saw the old bishop rushing in disheveled did he realize that something serious had happened.

After seeing the aerostat, his expression changed drastically, and the two of them quickly ran to find the city lord.

As for Gallo, he quickly woke up Lilian Luo, and then asked her to wake up the great elder and her family.

He hoped that the Dragon Clan could help and shoot down the airship before it arrived.

But just as he took Lilianluo out of bed, he heard the city lord's city-wide broadcast coming from outside.

Sorry, it's a little late today.
