enchanting blacksmith

At the end of the long street is the palace of King Guy IX. The palace occupies a very large area. The outer wall stretching for miles is made of large pieces of water-milled bluestone, and the wall is full of potholes eroded by the years.In the palace, the spiers of the palace are unevenly exposed, showing a majestic momentum and a magnificent atmosphere.

Master Abigail escorted Feng Tie all the way to the gate of the palace, and after the guards patrolling the palace came to greet him, he took the dwarves to say goodbye to Feng Tie. Feng Tie thanked him profusely and watched the two super bodyguards leave , feeling lost.

Lei Nuo showed his waist badge and the king's letter, and after obtaining the consent of the guard guarding the palace gate, he led Feng Tie to the palace, and saw a general in silver light armor with a mustache bowing his head and hurried towards him. When he came, Lei Nuo was furious when he saw this man, he pushed General Yinkai on the chest, pushed him a big somersault, staggered and fell into the grass beside the road.

General Yinkai was suddenly pushed down, and he opened his mouth to scold in a rage. When he looked up and realized that it was actually Renault, the captain of the outer city patrol who had always had a good relationship with him, General Yinkai said with a puzzled look on his face: " Lei Nuo, why are you so nervous, this is the royal palace, what are you doing so wildly?"

Lei Nuo looked excited, and the armor all over his body made a rattling sound as his body trembled violently, pointing at the silver armored general and reprimanded: "You still have the face to reprimand me, Ryan, let me ask you, as an inner city patrol The captain of the guard, why didn't you abide by your duty to inspect the inner city and come to the palace?"

Ryan stood up from the grass, patted the dirt on his body, and retorted with displeasure: "Why do you manage so broadly, we each have our own responsibilities, you take care of your outer city guards, why are you running away?" Come here to tell me what to do?"

Lei Nuo said angrily: "I'm in control? I'm not interested in meddling your affairs at all, but a group of my brothers were attacked by a group of assassins within your area of ​​responsibility, and they all turned into corpses!" Lei Nuo pointed at the palace gate with trembling fingers On the long street outside, "We struggled with the assassin for so long, where were you at that time? I didn't even see a ghost of the patrol, and it would take a kilometer away to make such a big noise. Hearing the sound, are you deaf, are you all deaf, why don’t you come to support, tell me, why did you explain to those brothers who died with me!” Luo Fu’s neck was bulging with blue veins, his face was flushed and he was almost roaring, his fingers were already pointing On the tip of Ryan's nose.

"What, such a big thing happened?" Ryan was shocked.He has always been on good terms with Renault, and he knows that Renault is a prudent person, so he would never joke about such a thing with himself, and said: "I really don't know at all. In the evening, Prince Jialie sent guards to find me and gave me an order, saying It was because there were not enough guards in the auction site on the square, so I transferred most of the soldiers there. The guard said that almost all the civilians in the inner city flocked to the square to watch the excitement, and even the guards in the palace also dispatched some guards to go there. After leaving the square, the palace was short of manpower, so I took the remaining soldiers to shrink around the palace wall to guard. I just went to the palace and exchanged warrants before going out to change defenses. I was just following orders, and I really didn’t know that such a thing would happen. !"

"Hmph!" Lei Nuo's anger was still there, but his eyes had regained clarity, and he was no longer as desperate as he had just lost his mind because of the inexplicable killing of his subordinates.Renault and Ryan are both officers of the Dema City Guard. They have known each other for many years. Renault also knows Ryan's personality. Both of them faintly feel that they have become victims of the intricate struggle between the upper echelons of the kingdom, but they are being used by others. That's all, it's just that the political struggle is too cruel, and the innocent sacrifices paid are too big.

"Okay, the military order is hard to violate, and I know that." Renault slowed down, "It's just that this murder happened in the area under your jurisdiction after all, and Prince Jialie did not have the right to mobilize the city guards. As for how to report the incident afterwards , whether the higher-ups will agree with your statement, you can take care of yourself!" After finishing speaking, Lei Nuo didn't even look at Ryan, and walked towards the depths of the palace with Feng Tie.

Ryan was not a brave and foolhardy person who was able to mix from an ordinary soldier to a patrol captain in the inner city of the imperial capital. Although Lei Nuo's last words were still complaining, there was something to be said in the words, Ren Nuo The implication is: Prince Jialie did not have the right to mobilize the city guards, and he only gave himself a password through the guards. There was no real transfer order or authorization letter. Even if Prince Jialie denied it afterwards I can only be tough.It seems that his behavior is still too reckless.

Thinking of this, Ryan smiled wryly.After all, Prince Jialie is the sole heir of the Blood Wolf Kingdom. Do you dare not listen to what he said? This time, it is obvious that he wants to blame himself, but knowing that there is a fire pit ahead, he has to jump into it with his eyes wide open.Renault, Renault, after all, your soldiers died in glorious battles, and the kingdom will support their families, but I am afraid that my guards and I will fall into the abyss of eternal doom this time.

Rui En lost interest, took off his shiny silver helmet and put it under his arm, and staggered towards the palace gate.

Feng Tie followed Lei Nuo to the palace of Guy IX. An uneven road paved with white jade leads to the gate of the palace. On both sides are palace guards in full helmets and full armor holding long-handled battle axes. The battle axes in their hands pointed forward obliquely, intertwined with each other to form an iron frame made of sharp blades.Lei Nuo strode forward calmly, and then the soldiers took back the battle axes that were put together, holding them with both hands, turning their heads to one side to pay attention to Lei Nuo.

Feng Tie timidly followed behind Lei Nuo, looking forward through Lei Nuo's thick body.At the end of the corridor is the palace of Guy IX. In the past, the grandfather of Guy IX and the ancestor of the world's mercenaries, Lonto Guy, continuously issued orders to the outside world, commanding The wolves of the Corps shed blood and created the huge Wolf Kingdom.Feng Tie thought of the heroic appearance of the wolf king Long Tuo back then, and couldn't help feeling agitated, and carefully looked at the legendary palace in front of him.

Surprisingly, this palace that has been passed down for hundreds of years is not tall and magnificent. It only has three simple floors. Like all ancient Gothic buildings on the mainland, it has pointed arched windows, red-painted roofs, mottled walls, and growth at the base of the walls. covered with moss.Only a lifelike ferocious wolf head carved on the gate of the palace added a touch of iron and blood.

After completing the escort mission, Lei Nuo handed over the king's warrant to the soldiers guarding the gate of the palace, and then returned to the city guards to reply. The soldiers asked Feng Tie to wait on the spot, and then turned to pass the message in the palace.

"Who are you, and what are you doing here?" A childish little loli's voice reached Feng Tie's ears.

Feng Tiezheng was extremely bored, looked down, and saw a blond doll about five or six years old standing in front of him, looking up at him curiously with wide eyes, holding a black cat with shiny fur in his arms .What surprised Feng Tie was that the little girl looked almost like the mixed-race mature woman he met in the rock bar before time travel.

"Me?" Feng Tie saw that little Lolita was born beautiful and cute, smiled and squatted down and pointed to the tip of his nose, and said in a rough voice: "I am Santa Claus, and I came here specially to give you gifts!"

"Ah? The egg-laying old man?" Little Loli asked curiously, two cute little canine teeth were exposed under her delicate lips, "You can still lay eggs, are you a hen? Besides, you are so young, you don't look like a chicken at all." Old man." Little Lolita's expression suddenly became ferocious, she squinted her eyes and puffed her cheeks to try to make herself look more ferocious, "You bullied me and lied to me when I was young, didn't you say you gave me a gift? Are you sent by the bad guys, trying to lure me into a gloomy castle to eat, I don’t look like a good person at first sight, believe it or not, I’ll ask the guards to arrest you.”

Feng Tie was very embarrassed, he didn't expect this kid to be wronged like this, so he had no choice but to coax patiently: "I'm really Santa Claus, but that's what we call it in our hometown. This identity should be called, um, it should be called a fortuneteller, yes, a fortuneteller!"

"Are you a fortune teller?" Little Loli pouted her red lips with an expression of disbelief, "My father and king said that fortune tellers are all people with magical abilities, but you have such a wretched appearance. Would I believe it?"

Feng Tie was furious: "Oh, you have learned to judge people by their appearance at such a young age? Why am I so obscene, I...hey, what did you just say about the father, could it be you?"

Little Lolita gave Feng Tie a white look: "You don't care who I am, you liar!"

Feng Tiegu squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then put on an amiable expression and said seductively: "I am really a fortune teller, and I am also a person with magical abilities, if you don't believe me, look!"

Feng Tie stretched out his left thumb and clenched it into a fist with his right hand, and pulled it out vigorously. The moment his hands were separated, he quickly bent his thumb into his palm, with the back of his hand facing up, and waved it in front of little Lolita: " Here, look, I lost my finger!"

Seeing that little Lolita's eyes were straightened, Feng Tie smiled triumphantly, "installed" his thumb back to his left hand again, and said with a triumphant smile, "How about it, this time you believe it!"

"Oh, you are really good, you can even do something like this!" Little Loli nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "I believe it, I believe it, don't scare me anymore, just now you put your finger It's too scary to pull it off!"

It is said that women are born actors, and this is vividly reflected in the little Lolita. In an instant, the little Lolita changed into a pitiful expression, shaking Feng Tie's clothes and coquettishly said: "Great!" Uncle Fortune Teller, I don't want your gift, I want you to do something for me, okay?"

Feng Tie fell deeply into the pleasure of being flattered and couldn't extricate himself, proudly said: "Tell me how you want me to help you, I, an omnipotent fortune-teller, will definitely satisfy your request!"

"Really? That's great!" Little Loli jumped up excitedly, "I want to get No.1 once!"

"Shrimp?" Feng Tie was puzzled, "What is No.1 once?"

Little Loli pursed her mouth in grievance, and tears rolled in her eyes: "From childhood, I was No. 2 in learning to write, No. 2 in running, and I was the last one to wake up. Even my cat... ..." Little Loli bent her fingers and tapped the head of the black cat in her arms, "Even the cats I raise are smaller than others, so I want to get No.1 once for others to see!"

Feng Tie sighed inwardly: Women's vanity is indeed innate.

Feng Tie looked at no one around, lowered his voice and said to little Lolita viciously: "Actually, you are already No.1 now!"

"Ah?" Little Lolita opened her mouth wide in surprise, "Why didn't I know?"

"Hey, that's because you are too young, and you will understand when you grow up." Feng Tie said with a cheap smile, "This truth involves the eternal truth of life in the universe, before you were born. A little tadpole races with tens of thousands of brothers and sisters. Whoever runs faster will be born. So, since you can be born, you are already No.1. This is a secret. Can you tell me? Don't tell anyone!"

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." Little Loli burst into tears when she heard the words, and said out of breath, "But I still have a twin sister, so wouldn't I be No.2 again?"

Feng Tie: "...you brat, what do you want me to say!"
