Chapter 259: homecoming
Chapter 259 Homecoming
After half a month, the weather was a little hazy, and the bleak autumn wind curled the fallen leaves and sprinkled the streets of Langton City.
It was almost noon when a long string of seven black carriages stopped on the square in front of Langton City Hall.
This is the center of Langton City. The Special Bureau, the city government, the noble council, and the magician association are all nearby.
Green stepped out of the carriage wearing a neat black special bureau uniform, and the rank on his shoulders had changed from major to lieutenant colonel.
This time, Green spent a lot of time in Fredenburg City, and finally became the director of the Special Bureau of Langton City. By the way, he also upgraded his military rank by one level.
A lot of people followed in the carriages behind. As Laura, who had gone with Greene at the beginning, she also followed, and with the rise of the tide, she was already a captain. At the back are the personnel brought back from Fredenburg City to supplement the shortage of personnel in the Special Bureau of Langton City.
Because it suffered two huge losses in less than a year, the strength of the city-level special bureaus in Northwest Province dropped to freezing point. There were only one of the five action teams of the original Langton City Special Bureau, and there was a huge shortage of personnel.
Green returned to Langton City this time, not only brought the Shadow Chamber of Commerce back from Fredenburg City, but also selected more than 20 of the original believers with good strength, pious and reliable Transcendents, led by Mrs. Sergei , as the team who took over the special bureau. These people directly followed Green's team back this time, including Mrs. Sergey, all wearing the uniforms of the special bureau, full of energy and full of energy.
At the same time, on the other side of the city, several unremarkable carriages quietly drove into the city of Langton.
This is Freya and others secretly arranged by Green. In addition to the original team of the Shadow Chamber of Commerce, they also brought more than a dozen newcomers who acquired extraordinary abilities through trading. In the future, Langton City and the nearby Rhine City will be the main area for the development of the Shadow Chamber of Commerce. Covering two cities and nearby towns is already the limit of Green's current response to the voice of prayer.
On the square, we had already heard the news that the new director of the Special Bureau had arrived, and some big figures in Langton City had come to greet him early, hoping to leave some impression on the new director.
Because of the collapse of Faerûn City, the subsequent invasion of the Allied Forces from other worlds, and the large-scale riots of supernatural beings in Fredenburg City, the secrets of supernatural existence quickly changed from the big nobles to the middle and high-level government officials, capitalists, factory owners, bankers... This sub-elite spread spread. It made these people who had a little knowledge of the supernatural being very panic, especially the superhuman riot in Fredenburg City, which had to be guarded against. Naturally, he became more and more attentive to the Special Bureau, which represents the official management of extraordinary affairs, and only hoped that one day, when encountering strange problems, the Special Bureau should not be perfunctory.
Green stepped out of the carriage and immediately saw a lot of acquaintances.
Standing at the forefront is the mayor of Langton City. Green had seen this tall and bearded mayor at the house of Baron Lonanx when he first crossed. At that time, the other party was in a high position, and Green was only an apprentice housekeeper. It was estimated that the other party would not look at him as much, but now he stood in the cold wind for a long time, shaking his hands warmly with a smile on his face.
The next two people, Green was all too familiar with, were Viscount Paul and Vincent in a noble suit. Now Viscount Paul has become the Speaker of the Langton City Noble Council, Vincent has also become a city councillor, and is engaged to a noble daughter.
Green didn't care about the etiquette of the nobles, and hugged Viscount Paul and Vincent with extra enthusiasm. In Green's heart, there is some gratitude to Viscount Paul and Vincent, and this time, to control the city of Langton, he also needs the full support of the Wilson family.
Followed by the president of the Society of Magicians, who was actually an acquaintance of Greene. Dr. Wilkins, who had just become a necromancer and had given Green a lot of help, actually became the president of the Society of Magicians in Langton!
Dr. Wilkins is still the same as before, but Green can clearly feel from the magic fluctuations on his body that this old guy has undoubtedly broken through to the official level.
Behind are some nobles and celebrities in the city, and there is a chatty entertainment. Green was not good at these at first, but under the flattery of these nobles and celebrities, he seems to be able to do it with ease. Until the end of the welcome banquet in the evening, Green returned directly to Wilson Castle. This move further showed his close relationship with the Wilson family as the new director of the special bureau, and also sent a goodwill signal to the local aristocratic class, and completely put Paul. The Viscount is bound to the chariot of the special round.
is still the familiar Wilson Castle. In a luxurious living room, the fireplace is lit, and the flames are swaying, making the interior very warm.
Butler Laurens poured three glasses of slightly sweet sparkling wine into the clean goblet he wiped.
Green, Vincent and Viscount Paul all changed into casual clothes and sat casually on the expensive white leather sofa. The three of them chatted about memories. The atmosphere was very harmonious. Until half an hour later, Green got up to leave, leaving only Paul and Vincent. Special father and son duo.
"I didn't expect that in just one year, Green actually became the director of our Langton City Special Bureau!" Vincent deliberately sighed: "I still remember how depressed he looked when he first came to our house, really The world is impermanent!"
Viscount Paul also sighed: "Yeah! I didn't expect Green to reach this point at the beginning. But it doesn't really matter what the director of the special bureau is, it's just a position and can be replaced at any time. Green's real capital is He is officially the strength of a middle-level necromancer."
"He's really a genius! When I heard about the situation in Faerun City, I thought he was definitely finished, and I was sad for him for a while." Vincent shook his head and said, "I didn't expect that he not only survived, but also broke through unexpectedly. The bottleneck has become a full-scale magician."
This is Green's statement to the outside world, but Viscount Paul doesn't believe it at all. He concluded that Green must have some unknown secrets, otherwise it would never be possible to transform from an ordinary person to a formal mage in such a short period of time.
However, Viscount Paul is a smart person and won't have so much curiosity, and he also reminded his son that Green's identity has been completely different now. In addition to the past friendship, don't forget the awe of the superior. .
And he can feel that Green's return this time is obviously not as simple as returning home, and the position of director of the special bureau of Langton City is not something that can be won casually. With Green's character, he paid a lot of price to return to Langton City, and he brought back so many subordinates.
If it is not impossible to refuse, Viscount Paul does not even want to deeply bind the family to Green, because the current high-spiritedness is likely to contain unimaginable risks.
Vincent saw his father's worries and explained: "Don't worry, father, we should trust Green, I know what you are worried about, but you taught me that when I get benefits, I must take corresponding risks. And I trust Green, I There is a hunch that maybe in a few years, our Wilson family will become an earl family."
The next day, in the Special Bureau of Langton City, in the director's office.
The refurbished luxury office has no features, but it is luxurious enough. The furniture and decoration materials are of the highest quality. Green estimates that two thousand pounds to decorate this office is definitely not enough. And the person who handled this was the Deputy Director Poppy, who was standing in front of his desk with a smile on his face. Dragging his fat body and standing in front of Green, he didn't feel embarrassed at all because Green was his subordinate, on the contrary, he seemed to take it for granted, as if he had expected that today, Green would soar.
Deputy Chief Bobby is Viscount Paul's best friend, and he is also his own. Of course Green will not embarrass him, but will continue to use this seemingly stupid fat man.
Don't underestimate this guy. With the strength of a mere high-level apprentice knight, he can stay in the position of the deputy director of the special bureau of Langton City. This fat man definitely has his extraordinary ability and keen vision. The deputy director of Starks, who had competed with him for the position of director, is now half-height, and the director who had just been airborne before, led a team to exterminate the alien invaders, and never came back.
Which of these people are not countless times more outstanding than Deputy Director Bobby, but now only this stupid fat man is still standing here safely.
Green is quite satisfied with this old fried dough stick, and has no plans to replace it, and of course he doesn’t trust it too much. Fortunately, this fat man is very obedient, his status is embarrassing, and he doesn't care about his face.
After Deputy Director Bobby reported to work, as the new Assistant Director, Laura knocked on the door and came in with a document.
"What's the matter?" Green walked over to the bed, looking down at the busy street below through the translucent window screen.
Laura is very adaptable to the new job. As a springboard for promotion to the deputy director, the power of the assistant director is not inferior to that of the deputy director.
She put the information on the desk and said sternly: "I just received news from the General Administration that the Church of the Holy Light besieged the three legendary powerhouses from other worlds in Wolf City."
"Oh?" Green looked back and looked back, the news aroused his interest. Back then, the Allied Forces from the Other World were aggressive and almost destroyed the city of Fredenburg. If it wasn't for the critical moment, the church would launch the hand of God's punishment, and the city of Fredenburg would have fallen.
In the end, the Allied forces were wiped out, and only the legendary mage Murray, the centaur Druid, and the rat-man assassin Jerry escaped.
What followed was the joint wanted and frantic pursuit of the Kingdom of Lorenzo and the Church of the Holy Light, and the Archbishop of Sidious put the responsibility for the loss of the Angel of Light on their heads, causing the anger of the church's top brass. , launched the Eye of Light, searched for the whereabouts of the three, and finally locked them in Wolf City.
