The knight's loud voice continued for several minutes. Seeing that no one came out to answer, he ordered to evacuate. The patrol followed the legionnaires and quickly left the tavern with neat steps.
The gangsters hiding in the corner dared to show their heads, but they no longer wanted to continue searching for the target. At the moment, everyone was frightened by this sudden search.
Galt had no intention of continuing to taste snacks. Instead, wearing a metal mask, he strode out of the tavern and came to the street.
On the street, many soldiers could be seen running back and forth, going into hotels and taverns to question them.
Galt just felt that he was really unlucky today. First he was interrogated by local gangsters, and now he was hunted by the big lord of Elengrad. Is it so difficult to make a little money... Galt sighed silently,
Follow the flow of people to the pier, prepare to board the boat and wait, no longer wandering around outside.
Unexpectedly, the entire harbor seemed to be blocked by the army and city defense forces. Many captains cursed, asked what was going on, and asked to go to sea. Others threatened to find the city magistrate. In response, the army did not respond at all, only the leading knights.
They occasionally apologized, saying that this was a decision from above and was only temporary.
Galt could only continue to wear the metal mask and helplessly look at the endless flow of people. It was clear that the blockade of the harbor was because of him. The soldiers came in one by one and asked, and they all asked his name.
But, what on earth did he do? Even the great lord of Elengrad was wanted to be hunted down? This time it seems that he didn’t defraud money or sex, right? What on earth did that guy Alvis say to the lord?
Just when Galt was confused, the sound of a large group of people running could be heard on the street.
"Go in and search from house to house. Be careful and be polite. Don't hurt Mr. Galt in the slightest!"
The leading knight ordered loudly. Behind him, the Erengrad municipal carriage was slowly approaching.
Galt heard the charm of it. It seemed that the official search for him was not to arrest him, but to invite...please go back.
But I have already told Alves that I will not stay here. There are still important things to do in the empire. Even if you value talents, there is no need to be so exaggerated, right? I just helped them repair the water pipes...
However, looking at this situation, the city officials will not give up until they find themselves. They have even sealed the entire port...
Thinking of this, Galt had no choice but to walk out of the crowd and walk towards the motorcade.
He came to the great knight and calmly took off his mask, revealing a delicate and fair face.
"I am Geert, Belshazer Gelt, the person you are looking for."
The knight obviously didn't believe it. In his imagination, the person the high lord was looking for in person should be a tall, powerful person exuding a noble temperament. They received the order and were looking for a powerful alchemist.
The man in front of him looked thin and small. If it weren't for his gorgeous clothes, no one would associate the young man in front of him with a noble.
However, the intense task ahead of him made the knight dare not neglect it. He was about to drive his horse to report the situation when he saw a man, a dwarf, getting off the black carriage behind him.
Alves recognized the person he was looking for almost at first sight and hurriedly walked forward with small steps.
"Thank God you haven't left yet."
Alves grabbed Galt's hand, his eyes full of relief and excitement. Such a sharp contrast made Galt feel at a loss what to do.
What happened to this? Galt wondered in his heart. But the mayor and his team were so enthusiastic that the next second the legionnaires and the knights immediately surrounded the two of them and protected them, and the whole process was under martial law.
.At the same time, the port blockade was lifted.
This scene left Galt confused. He was just a small nobleman who came here to dig for gold. Even if he helped them solve the water supply problem, it wouldn't be so grand...
"I finally found you. Come back with me. Lord Rhodes wants to see you."
After Alves finished speaking, he asked the knight to personally escort Galt. He stared at the young man intently, fearing that he would slip away from his eyes in the blink of an eye. In the more than ten years he has known Rhodes, he has never seen him before.
If he attaches so much importance to a person, this Galt must be not simple, Alves thought in his heart.
Soon, Rhodes, the great lord of Elengrad and the guardian of Kislev, hurried over from another neighborhood.
The image of Galt surprised Rhodes. The alchemist looked very young. He did not wear a metal mask on his face. His fair and delicate face was no different from that of ordinary young nobles of the empire. He also looked so ordinary. Walking on the street
He would not even notice this person. However, Rhodes knew that such an ordinary-looking person was actually an elite among human beings, an elite among elites.
"Are you Belshazer Gelt?"
Rhodes asked curiously and in amazement.
"Yes, my dear lord."
Galt performed a standard noble meeting ceremony.
Rhodes didn't care so much and took Galt directly to the third floor of the city hall.
The door slammed shut, leaving only Rhodes, Alves and Galt in the hall. It was like a secret meeting. Of course, it was indeed a secret meeting.
"Alves told me everything you did in Erengrad. I admire your talent and ability very much."
Rhodes said straight to the point.
Although Gelt had already guessed the general content of the conversation, the fact that the other party, as a lord, spoke so directly without any courtesy made Gelt a little confused. Could it be that the lord of Kislev, an official
Are we all so straightforward? Isn’t this too pragmatic?
Rhodes paid close attention to every move of the young man in front of him. Without waiting for Galt to answer, Rhodes asked directly——
"Your Excellency Belshazer Gelt, I would like to hire you as my personal consultant, the first principal of the Kislev Metal Magic School, the vice president of the Royal Engineers Society, and the chief consultant of the Orengrad Urban Construction Department.
"
"Ah? Sorry, I didn't hear clearly. What did you just say, Lord?"
Galt was confused by this series of titles and did not react for a moment. What is the Kislev Metal Magic School? When did there be a metal magic school in Kislev? I have never heard of the Frost Magic School here.
, I have never heard of any other metal magic schools in Kislev. And what the hell is the Royal Engineers Institute?
Galt looked confused, but the big lord in front of him didn't seem to be joking. Besides, he spent such a high price and even blocked the harbor to find himself, so he couldn't be joking. However, this sudden attack
The high regard made Galt unable to react for a moment.
"I said, I want to hire you, Mr. Galt. I want to hire you to be my personal consultant and the principal of the metal magic school. The conditions are up to you."
Rhodes repeated it word for word seriously.
Only then did Galt confirm that he heard correctly.
But, where did this metal magic school come from? Galt answered his question truthfully——
"I'm sorry, great lord, please forgive me for my limited knowledge, but I don't think I've heard of a metal magic school in Kislev?"
"Yes, it didn't exist before, but now that you're here, it will."
Rhodes answered with a serious expression and sincerity in his eyes.
Galt was even more confused...This...is this a magic school specially established for him? No, no, this is too exaggerated...Although he is talented, he will not become a magic school in an instant.
Principal. Now, I am not even a small dean of the Altdorf Gold Academy. This time I came to Elengrad to hunt for gold, just to go back and run for the dean of the department. But I never expected to encounter this...
"Your Excellency Gelt, I am not exaggerating. In fact, I have always wanted to establish a school specializing in metal magic in Kislev, but I am suffering from a lack of talents. Your talents are obvious to all. You are so young.
Show your talent in metal magic. To be honest, I have seen high-level officials in the empire. Those old guys from the Magic Academy are not much better than you. They are just more powerful and richer than you. In terms of strength and talent, they may not be much better than you.
I can beat you. What you lack is just luck and all kinds of worldly bargaining chips."
Rhodes was persuasive and persuaded with sincere words. Although he felt that setting up a magic school for one person was too nonsense, in order to retain an elite talent like Galt, any means or promises were acceptable.
