Release that Witch - Chapter 1031
[Chapter 1011 The Spreading Vortex]
Under the new administrative system, the news that the king was about to be crowned soon spread from west to north, and caused an uproar in various places.
Different from relying on merchants and boatmen to pass the news in the past, the city halls of various places have posted announcements in the most prominent places in the towns, and arranged for commentators to explain, as if they intended to let the common people understand the decisions of the royal family.
With such an official attitude, the heat of this matter has swept through the streets and alleys of the city in just a few days. No matter where you go, you can hear related discussions, as if even the coldness of winter has faded a bit.
The “underground trumpeter” in the old capital is no exception. After all, the tavern is always a place where hot news gathers. Sitting by the fire and drinking a glass of ale, talking about rumors from nowhere, is one of the few civilians one of the entertainment methods.
As the new owner of Trumpeter, Black Hammer has been laughing from ear to ear in recent days.
After the winter, the business of the tavern became much colder, and after the news of enthronement, the bustle of the past resumed. Seeing the income rising steadily, his mood also rose.
It can be expected that this heated discussion will continue until His Majesty officially completes the coronation and the dust settles.
Deciding to ascend the throne in Xie Yue was an extremely wise decision. If he could see His Majesty in person, he would definitely bend down without hesitation and kiss His Majesty’s boot toe devoutly.
After all, there is nothing cuter than a golden dragon in this world.
Of course, with their identities as former rats, the possibility of being allowed to get close to Roland Wimbledon is very slim, and it would be nice to see Lord Tasa once in a while.
Black Hammer is somewhat self-aware about this.
You must know that Tasa today is not the down-and-out patrol captain in the past, or the nameless guard of the fourth prince. Ever since Timothy failed to fight for the king, he has faintly shown signs of being the number one person in the old capital.
In the past, the owner of the tavern, Mr. Naji, who would not even give a mouse an eye, was sent to a remote place with a word from him.
In the subsequent black street cleanup operation, it was also because of Thasa’s advice that they were able to take off the coat of the skeleton fingers, transformed themselves into official citizens, and took over the underground trumpeter tavern by the way.
Hei Hammer never dared to forget this kind of promotion.
He planned to pay his respects with a silver ring, pottery pot, and little finger before the other party left the old capital—although it would cost him an extra gold dragon, as long as he maintained this relationship, he would earn money sooner or later. return.
In addition, he did not forget what he was supposed to do.
That is to collect information for Mr. Tasa—whether it is a vendor’s self-proclaimed bragging, or a traveler’s knowledge on the road, as long as there is something that the adult is interested in, he must record it and report it to the contact person.
But now, the most important thing to pay attention to is those potential conspirators.
For example, the guest at table six——
“Don’t you think this fact is too much of a coincidence?” A blushing businessman shouted, “It’s nothing more than a hasty enthronement. His Majesty just announced that he would marry a barren witch, and just got The news that the eldest prince’s widow is still alive and has given birth to a son is unreasonable no matter how you look at it!”
This was echoed by some people, “I heard that His Highness Gron is not a womanizer at all, and there are even rumors that he has an affair with a certain young knight. Why does a fiancée suddenly appear?”
“real?”
“You’re not from Wangdu, so of course you don’t know. Compared with the second and fourth princes, he rarely even attends banquets. It’s not wrong.”
“And think about it,” the businessman said again, “Your Majesty only said that he would recall the two of them back to Neverwinter, but he didn’t clarify the identity of the posthumous son. He didn’t intend to leave controversy and focus everyone’s attention on the succession qualifications.” What? What family does the woman come from, and whether the son she gave birth to has the blood of the Wimbledon family? These are enough to be involved for several years, but no one pays attention to the really terrible things.”
“what do you want to say in the end?”
“What is a really terrible thing?”
“That’s the witch!” He took a sip of wine for himself, “They secretly controlled His Majesty, and created so-called widows and children, just to distract us and realize their trick of controlling Graycastle!”
The audience was in an uproar, “Witches can still create people?”
“Let me tell you, there is nothing they can’t make!” The businessman said angrily, “A stone floating on the water is fine, let alone a person? It is precisely because of these monsters that no one is renting my boat. Of course, it is impossible to create a flawless person now, so the witches need time, and when they are completely successful, the child will naturally be unnecessary!”
“Hahahaha… I think you have lost your mind and gone crazy. Do you think that His Majesty is the only one in the palace, and there is only a God’s Stone of Retaliation beside him?” Everyone immediately laughed, and the tavern was filled with a happy atmosphere.
“You——laugh—just laugh, the miners in Silver City have been replaced by things made by witches, and the inland rivers are full of stone boats from Neverwinter. When it’s your turn, I think you will still Can you laugh!” The businessman said with his tongue out.
Well, although the value of this information is not high, if there is rebellion in my heart, it is also treason… Hei Hammer picked up the charcoal pen, and wrote down the characteristics of the other party crookedly on a piece of paper, as well as “slandering the royal family and harboring malice towards witches.” ” was stuffed into an inconspicuous slit behind the wine cabinet.
If there is no accident, the police department will respond soon, and when the businessman goes out, he will probably be caught.
As for whether the other party has committed treason, that is the task of the interrogator, and has nothing to do with him.
…
At the same time, Earl’s Court in the inner city.
“How about this dress?” Yorko compared a high-necked dress made of high-quality fabrics to his chest, “Will it look too strong?”
The answerer was the businesswoman he met in Dawn King’s Capital, Denise Peyton.
She lazily leaned against the head of the bed, pulled up half of the quilt to cover her bare chest, “I have never seen you be so active when I was dating, and now I haven’t even received the invitation letter, and I was anxious when I heard the news.” Are you ready to go?”
“Your Majesty Roland and I have been old friends for more than ten years. UU reading www.sonicmtl.com What kind of invitation is needed for such a friendship? They are all for outsiders to see.” Yorko shook his clothes, “You haven’t To answer my question, what do you think of this?”
“To be honest, you can wear almost anything,” Denise yawned. “It’s not your appearance that attracts me anyway. But if you’re going to Neverwinter, what should I do?”
“Uh,” he hesitated, “if you want to have some fun, I might be able to introduce you to some good…”
“I’m not interested,” Denise interrupted bluntly, “I prefer the target I choose. Besides, I came all the way from the City of Glory to find you, and it turned out that this is your way of hospitality?”
Yorko knew he was wrong, so he could only sigh, “Then what are you going to do?”
The businesswoman raised her lips, “Take me to Neverwinter together. I have long wanted to see what the king who turned the morning sun upside down looks like.”
“This……”
“Since we are old friends for more than ten years, His Majesty must have invited you to his dinner party, right?” Denise lifted the quilt, got out of bed, and walked to Yorko step by step. Just take me with you. When I was in Glory City, I accompanied you to so many banquets, this time you must fulfill my little wish, right?” She put her arms around Yorko’s neck and pressed her lips to the In his ear, “Don’t worry, I know you have someone you really want to see…not only will I not interfere with you, maybe I will help you.”
…
As the news spread, both civilians and new local officials got busy.
However, the person at the center of the vortex doesn’t know it at all.
Until a week later, the shallow-water heavy artillery ship Roland arrived at the northern border of Evernight City.
This peace was finally broken.
