Chapter 66 City Hall
After settling her worries, Su Suo felt that this was the calmest and most comfortable sleep she had had in more than half a month.
Early the next morning, the two of them arrived at the Noble Council located in the center of the city early.
The Noble Council is not the most magnificent building in the entire city of Nagsh. The most magnificent building is undoubtedly the church of Tempus, the "Lord of War", or in other words, a small fortress in the city of Nagsh.
Because it is located in northern Xinjiang and is on the front line of the battle with the Orc Empire, most of the residents of Nagsh City are martial arts. Therefore, the teachings of "King of War" Tempus are generally recognized. In addition, his godliness,
The Red Knight is also worshiped and believed by army commanders.
Bowing slightly to the statue of Lathander in front of the Noble Council, the two walked up the steps.
Today's "Son of the Morning" Lathander is not only the sun god, but also the guardian of the nobility. In the main plane of Engmar, he has won most of the faith of the aristocratic ruling class and has become the undisputed one of the seven gods of order.
head.
As soon as they reached the door of the Noble Council, the two of them were stopped by a well-equipped guard.
"Two gentlemen, this is the Parliament of Nobles."
The hidden meaning of these words is very simple. If you are a noble, then please come in; if not, sorry, go back to where you came from.
Alexander gestured to Suso on the side, it's your turn to appear.
Suso took out his noble badge.
"This is my badge. According to the noble regulations, I can bring a commoner in."
"Two gentlemen, please come in."
The guard took the noble badge and carefully identified it. After confirming that it was correct, he moved out of the way.
Looking at the backs of the two men, the guard's eyes flashed with joy under his helmet.
"It turns out to be the illegitimate son of the Allen family. It seems I have a tip to take."
When the two came to the hall, Alexander discovered that this place was even grander than he had imagined. The entire hall was divided into three floors, covering an area of no less than a thousand square meters. Dozens of clerks and valets were busy between the rooms and floors.
Shuttle through.
Suso led Alexander to a room on the second floor like a seasoned horse.
Suso knocked on the door, but there was no response in the room. After a while, Suso knocked again.
This time, a male voice finally came from behind the door.
"come in."
The two pushed the door open and entered. The decoration of the room was not luxurious. There was only an extremely old mahogany desk, a bookshelf placed by the window, and a few high-back chairs scattered randomly. In addition,
, nothing else.
The white-haired old man, who was writing something on the desk with his head down, heard the door knock, raised his head, saw Su Suo and the two coming in, and couldn't help but push up the glasses on the bridge of his nose.
"Ha, it turns out to be my dear little Suso!"
The white-haired old man let out an exclamation, then stood up and walked to the door of the room, stuck his head out and looked outside. After finding that no one was paying attention, he quickly closed the door.
"You little bastard, why did you come back? Don't you know that Horst and Francis are looking for you everywhere!"
By the end of the sentence, the old man's voice was stern.
Suso showed an awkward but polite smile.
"Uncle Thomas, if I don't go back to Nagsh City, where can I go? Besides, without Alexander's help, I might have become the food scraps in the stomachs of those jackals!"
"Oh, Lathander! My child, what misfortune has happened to you? How dare they do this! My child, I feel sad for the death of your father, old Fitch. I hope Lathander can bring his soul to
Kingdom of God.”
With that said, he turned around and expressed his gratitude to Alexander.
"Thank you for your help with Suso, young man."
"So, Suso, why did you come here?"
Thomas returned to his seat, picked up the teacup on the desk, took a sip and asked.
"Uncle Thomas, I want to buy a pioneering order."
"Open... a development order?!" Thomas couldn't hold back, and a mouthful of tea spurted out from his mouth, immediately making the desk wet.
Thomas hurriedly cleaned up the desk, not caring to wipe off the water stains on his glasses. Thomas pulled Suso aside and whispered:
"You kid is crazy! Don't you know how many Golden Eagle coins a pioneering order costs? It's a thousand coins, not a penny less! Can you come up with so much money now? Also, don't tell me, kid
, you don’t know how dangerous it is to go to the wilderness to open up territory!”
"I knew I would get scolded when I met you, so I chose to come here today, but I didn't expect..." Suso muttered in a low voice.
"You didn't expect that I would still be in the Noble Council today, did you?"
Thomas sneered again and again.
"I'm not old enough to be blind and deaf! Tell me what you think, kid. If you can't convince me, then your trip today will be in vain."
Suso had no choice but to reveal his plan in full.
"That's it," Thomas pondered, turning to look at Alexander, "Alexander, right? Do you have so many golden eagle coins? Also, are you sure that you can succeed in developing a territory? Don't think that developing a territory is that simple.
The complexity of things is far beyond your imagination."
Alexander nodded. "Sir Thomas, thank you for reminding me. I know exactly what I am doing now."
"Today's young people..."
Seeing the calm look on the young man's face, Thomas sighed, shook his head, took out a stamped parchment from the bookshelf by the window, spread it out on the desk, and picked up the quill in the pen holder.
"Swish, swish, swish", sign your name, and then stretch out your left hand.
"Bring me a thousand golden eagle coins, and this thing will belong to you."
Alexander took out a small bag of golden eagle coins that he had exchanged for gold sand yesterday and placed it in front of Thomas. This was already prepared.
Thomas picked up the bag, weighed it, weighed it, and handed the parchment scroll to Alexander.
"Old sir, don't you need to weigh me?" Alexander reminded.
Thomas waved his hand proudly. "No, I've handled this thing a lot, so I know how much it contains."
Seeing that both Suso and Alexander signed their names on the parchment, Thomas began to drive them away.
"Okay, the pioneering order is yours. Old man, I can only wish you good luck!"
After leaving the noble council with the development order, Suso looked back and said faintly: "Aren't you curious why Uncle Thomas talks so much to us?"
Alexander shook his head, how could he know!
"Because my father once saved his life, and he, like my father, is an illegitimate son. Moreover, he is also a powerful nobleman. If our territory wants to carry out foreign trade in the future, he is a very good choice.
.”
"..."
Is this a newspaper group from an illegitimate child to keep warm? Alexander couldn't complain.
…………
"You said that Suso guy went to the Noble Council with another person?"
Upon hearing the news, Francis' color suddenly darkened. He paced back and forth in the room and suddenly picked up a vase and threw it to the ground.
"Snapped!"
The valuable vase was smashed to pieces!
When the servants passing by heard a crisp sound coming from the room, they couldn't help but shrink their necks and make their footsteps softer.
Chapter completed!
