Chapter 85: Hamul
Teller City, a medium-sized city to the east of the capital, the Eldred family has managed for decades, and its prosperity is not bad.
The city wall of black stone is a style that was just popular more than 60 years ago. The huge city wall looks very good. Teller City is a relatively new city on the Pender Continent. The mood is also mostly good, this city, the rhythm is still relatively slow.
Therefore, when a large group of men and horses appeared outside the city, many citizens expressed great curiosity about the foreign crowd. After all, this huge team was too dazzling, and all soldiers were riding high-headed horses. Although the armor is different, it is obvious that they are all extremely expensive.
"These armors are much stronger than those worn by the big men in our city." A retired veteran said with a slap, "I'm afraid this is a big man from the capital."
"Anyway, it's right that it's powerful," someone replied.
"That's the legendary lion knights! They are the strongest cavalry in the land of Pendor, their fighting skills can be compared with the legendary imperial immortals, and as heavy cavalry, they can easily trample infantry and archers, they are the kingdom The pillar." The veterans who have been on the battlefield are extremely discerning, and naturally they focus on the lion knight in heavy armor.
At this time, Leo entered the city with a total of thirty lion knights, forty great lion knights, sixty lion squires, and more than a hundred armed infantrymen of the lion realm. All looked at it.
With so many soldiers, it stands to reason that many lords will choose to have them stationed outside the city, and a small number of lords are willing to pay a certain amount of money to borrow the military camp built in the city. Leo naturally belongs to the latter.
…
"Lord Governor, Lord Leo Archimonde, the kingdom's patroller, has entered the city." A secretary whispered to the governor of Teller City, Hamel.
"Wind Patrol? Why did he suddenly come to our Teller City?" Governor Hamul asked with a frown, looking quite a bit of a headache. Obviously, Leo, who is so constrained in the king, is in this huge special place. Lecheng, however, can ignore many obstacles.
The kingdom's patroller, this is an important position in the kingdom. In charge of the power, even in the private domain of the real nobles, the other party can do too many things, but for Hamul, who is dedicated to developing the city and trying not to cause trouble As far as the Governor is concerned, this is naturally not good news.
"I don't know yet, even the Wind Ranger branch in the city received the news at noon this afternoon," the secretary on the side said respectfully, "But he has a lot of people, and there are quite a few lion knights and squires. , the strength is quite amazing, and the City Guard has expressed more than once whether they should be alert."
"There's nothing to be wary of," Governor Hamul was also taken aback, and then he waved his hand and said, "He is an important official of the kingdom after all, and these soldiers are also in line with his identity, that is..."
"Then, do you want to see him in person?" the secretary on the side also asked.
"Let's go and visit. After all, it is the king's cronies, the important officials of the kingdom, who have come to our Teller City in person. They can't avoid seeing them. This is not in line with the etiquette of our Eldred family." Governor Hamul reluctantly Shaking his head, he said, "The relationship with the royal family has just eased a little over the years, so it's better to avoid extracurricular problems.
…
"My lord, I am your loyal subordinate Mousse," a tall and thin man with a slender body said, bowing to Leo, his face was somewhat inexplicable, giving people a rather uncomfortable feeling.
Of course, Leo is not judging people by appearances. He nodded and asked, "How is my previous order completed?"
"Sir, I have already scattered most of the patroller's hands at noon today, and I have informed the nearby city guards to help. At present, the three blocks in the south, east, and north of the city have been checked, and the west of the city is due to personnel It is relatively dense and complicated in composition. Now it is only the majority of the investigation. However, based on the current news, there are already rumors that there have been traces of Maritis in the blocks in the west of the city. Therefore, I have mobilized two battalions of the city guards to go there. "Mouse said respectfully.
"Very good, City West, right? I'll go with you," Leo decided to leave before he even had time to sit down after he arrived at the Wind Patrol's headquarters.
It seems that this Maritis has an unusual identity. Lord Patrolman came in person, and she was so eager that she didn't even want to sit down and drink a glass of water.
Mousse's heart was awe-inspiring for a while, and he immediately responded, and he was about to go out with Leo.
"My lord, Governor Hamul is here," a wind watcher reported.
"Governor Hamul?" Leo raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't expect the other party to be so friendly, but he had to slow down his previous decision a little.
…
"I didn't expect that the Governor-General would come to our Stormtrooper Teller City branch," Leo walked out with a chuckle, and looked at the old man in front of him. Although the other party's face was wrinkled, he was in good spirits and radiant.
"Your Excellency Leo," Governor Hamul also smiled slightly, "Your Excellency is an important minister of the kingdom. It is an honor for us to come to Teller City. I wonder what place my Eldred family can serve?"
"Governor Hamul, you are too polite," Leo was a little surprised by Governor Hamul's goodwill, and he did not slap the smiling face, and Leo said directly, "Actually, this time I am here because there is something very important thing.
If Governor Hamul is willing to lend a helping hand, I would naturally be grateful. "
"It doesn't matter if you say it," Governor Hamul flashed a suppressed look, but said with pride, "In Teller City, there are not many things that our Eldred family can't do. "
"That's good, in fact, this morning, the Stormtrooper branch in Teller City has already started operations to track down the whereabouts of a repeat offender, Maritis. There is information that she may appear in Teller. City." Leo said.
"Maritis?" Governor Hamul frowned slightly, "I seem to have heard this name... eh? It seems that someone from Cardinal Hades mentioned it. UU reading www.uukanshu.com"
"That's right," Leo said, "we are looking for the same person that Cardinal Haitings is looking for.
The wind patrol has probably finished searching, and now there is only the Xicheng District left, and I am going to search. "
"I didn't expect that you would be dispatched in person," Hamul said with a little astonishment. It was surprising enough for Leo to come to Teller City in person, but after he came, the wind rangers who were uneasy sitting in Teller City were divided. The Ministry, on the contrary, was dispatched in person, so how important is Maritis?
"It just so happens that I don't have anything important this afternoon. I can be considered somewhat capable in Teller City. I should be able to help you. I believe you don't mind taking more action, right?" Hamul asked tentatively.
After all, he didn't know if this was the true intention of the cruiser.
"It's naturally better that way," Leo also felt a little relaxed in his heart. If the governor of Teller City is willing to help, things will be less resistance.
…
West of the city, Blue Street.
In an extremely luxurious mansion built, there are layers of people surrounded.
"What are you doing?" There were angry shouts, which made many people look at him, wondering what happened.
Of course, if you just look at the outermost periphery, the soldier in the armor of the city guard and the grim-faced wind patrol in a pale red robe are surrounded by this, and the onlookers already know what happened. severity.
"That's Baron Pastor's mansion."
"What happened, why did the city guards surround Baron Pasteur's mansion?" Many citizens whispered, looking a little surprised. After all, Baron Pasteur was also the head of the city guards.
