Chapter 553 Harinska Palace (Two in One)
After the leader stopped his horse, it was as if he had not seen the Holy Court envoy present. First, he glanced at Salman coldly, and when he saw Salman hiding behind George, his face was pale, but his chest was puffed up, and he couldn't help but laugh coldly.
Then the man looked at Moss, opened his voice as loud as a bell, and shouted the name of 'Big Stupid Bear'. Then he burst out laughing.
It seems that the nickname Bear was not the first one given by George.
And from the structure of 'stupid + animal', the people in the team immediately understood who the guy in front of them was.
I just don’t know who called out the Big Stupid Cow or the Big Stupid Bear first.
In the midst of the red-faced scoldings between Big Stupid Niu and Big Stupid Bear, George took a look at the big strong man.
This 'Thunder Bull' Yoksa is not as wide as Moss, but a little taller than Moss, a full two meters and three meters. The average adult stood next to him like a child.
He has a square face, a big mouth, a big nose, and eyes as big as copper bells. The chin is covered with beard. But his age should be around 20 years old, a few years older than Moss.
After all, they are all Avali's younger brothers.
During the exchange of insults between Moss and 'Thunder Ox Yorksa', both of them maintained a little restraint, but it seemed that they would have to compete after a while - according to the custom of the people in the Southern Wilderness, the banquet was There must be a fight. There should at least be wrestling.
Moss claimed that after killing him, he shot his horse to death.
This dark horse was obviously the darling of Thunder Bull Yorksa. After hearing this, Yorksa suppressed his anger, mocked Moss for not overestimating his abilities, and then turned his attention to George.
His face was stern, he stretched out his right hand and turned it slightly in the air, making a very casual "invite a guest" etiquette, and then said with a half-smile.
"Masters of the Holy Court, it is disrespectful to ask you to wait here. Southern Wilderness is very hospitable. Whether it is a friend or an enemy, you will always have food to eat and wine to drink. Avali 'Buda' A feast has been prepared in the palace, please allow us to welcome the holy envoys."
George nodded.
The relationship between the Holy Court and Nanhuang is indeed not small, but although the Holy Court won the battle, they have never regained their face.
It seems that in order to calm the situation and protect the interests of the group of Iberian nobles living in the shadow of the Southern Wilderness, the Holy Court lords who have come here have given enough money to these people through the emissaries from Salman. Good face.
Speaking of which, they are all doves.
But this time, it was the hawks who came over.
And it’s here to kill you!
"Then I'll help you all." George showed a soft smile to 'Jokesa' and others, and nodded gently. Then he got into the car with Salman and others. He didn't get angry with this reckless man at all because of this trivial matter.
This quick response made Joksa slightly surprised. He snorted, tightened the reins, turned the horse's hooves, and led the knights to open the way for the vehicle.
"Humph, another group of spineless cowards!"
Halinska Palace, George had heard about it for a long time. After the King of Iberia was kidnapped, the nobles of Iberia redecorated the palace several times in order to cater to the Sun King.
Nowadays, it looks like it has slowly become an exotic style, and many of the paintings of the Seven Gods have been replaced by those of the Sun God.
It can be said that it is thoughtful. But unfortunately, the Sun King rarely comes.
As a result, this place became the administrative center of the Eight Departments and the real northern capital of the Southern Wilderness. In name, the Frost King and the Fire King are also subject to the management of the Sun Royal Clan.
The king here now is called Avali.
"You're a cripple who knows how to show off! Moss is already hungry, and he doesn't know how to order food first." Moss patted his belly and shouted angrily in the guest palace.
It's like the pastries are stuffed in the mouth, and they don't count as food.
But Milim was very happy eating these desserts in the palace. I mistakenly thought this was a real meal - it was just a little too little.
This was indeed not a formal meal. Joksa sent them over and left, only calling some nobles to sit with them.
Afterwards, the bishops and priests of the cathedral came to greet the holy envoy.
It wasn't that they intentionally didn't go to the city to greet the Holy Envoy today, but that they had no information. Only then did they really know that the Holy Court's elders were coming.
As for this Holy Envoy, he belongs to the Temple Knights and is the Archangel extradited by the Cardinal.
There are separate materials for this thing, but they have never been taken out. Salman originally planned to dictate the identity he and George had previously conceived. But he was stopped by George.
"Your Excellency Bishop Ironser. My name is George. Just remember this name. As for what we have here this time and what tasks we do, it has nothing to do with you - I will call you when needed."
Several bishops and priests were shocked, knowing that after this person visited this place, the Holy Court was afraid that there would be some big move.
After chatting for a while, George discovered that these bishops and priests were doing nothing in this place. He has been colluding with Cang Lan all day long, and he is also a bit greedy and lustful. It can be said that everyone is full of brains and intestines in Halinska.
However, their loyalty to the Holy Court and their faith is real.
According to what Salman said before, there was a lot of political struggle in the Holy See for the candidate of the cathedral bishop here. In Salman's opinion, although Bishop Ainser was incompetent, he was very suitable to sit in this position.
After several words, the bishop kept hinting to the Holy Envoy that this place was different from other places, and he should be cautious and not be young and impetuous - he also specifically mentioned several cardinals, including Avery. It seems that this cathedral bishop has a strong backer and was sent here to appease the Southern Wilderness and prevent the Holy See from conflicting with the Southern Wilderness.
Listening to the bishop's hint, George nodded secretly: "The Holy See is quite accurate in judging people. Although this bishop is incompetent, he has done practical things in the Southern Wilderness. Judging from the current situation, the leaders of the Holy See who look at the situation rationally are most afraid of a war between the two sides."
The Holy See has always been more concerned about face than life. These leaders can make such decisions and are willing to sacrifice the glory of the Holy See. It can be said that they have real vision and foresight, which also shows that the current situation in the north of the Holy See can no longer withstand a little tossing.
Moreover, these people can be so cautious, probably because they have discovered the enemies within the Holy See. Therefore, there is no experience and no longer worry about the south.
If the two sides really fight, the situation will collapse immediately.
George secretly wrote down the names mentioned by "Bishop Ainser" - most of these people should not be lurkers. Nor are they extremists.
However, George found that, except for a few such as Avery, most of them are conservatives!
'You are really busy in the east now. I will help you deal with the things in the south. ’
After a few words, George saw that he could not dig out much useful information from the bishop, so he lost interest. After comforting Bishop Ainser, he took Salman to walk around.
Not far from the next door seemed to be the banquet hall, and servants were busy going back and forth in the corridor outside the door. As the time for the banquet got closer, the number of nobles in the room increased.
Many people, like George and his friends, were specially invited from afar. But their status was far less noble than that of the Holy Envoy. There were also many nobles from various tribes and Iberia. They all heard that the Frost King, Canglan, and the Holy Court were here today, so they came here in advance and passed by this reception room on the way.
The whole reception palace had a bit of a salon party flavor, but few of the main masters of the major tribes were seen. And many princes who were originally on good terms with Frost Fang, including Ram, did not come here. Only some small people came here.
This seemed to express an attitude - just as Salman said, if you want the eight tribes to support the Frost King, you must get Avali's nod.
And the attitude of the eight tribes can influence many large tribes.
In addition, the show of strength that Lei Niu and his team came today did make Salman feel a little flustered.
It seems that the banner of the Holy Court has played a counter-effect. It has brought the entire Southern Wilderness together and excluded this outsider. And even the Frost King has joined the Holy Court, which has made many tribes dissatisfied with Frost Fang.
However, his boss George was not in a hurry at all. He just took Salman and Priyanka to visit the Guest Palace and asked the two to explain the antiques in the palace to George and Aji.
Priyanka didn't know the current situation. Since the last group activity in Tiannu Mountain Villa, she has not found a chance to contact the master. Today, she finally got a chance, and her whole body almost stuck to it. But Salman, who was accompanying him, was like an ant on a hot pot, with a feeling that the emperor was in a hurry to kill the eunuch.
Indeed, Canglan had completely stood on the side of the Southern Wilderness today, and he also brought Frost Fang and the Holy Court together. If the eight tribes were not governed by the boss today, then Canglan would be hated by everyone in the Southern Wilderness in the future. And many of the foundations they had built in various tribes would be in vain - including the chief, who would be extremely dissatisfied with Canglan.
"Don't get close to Moss, Moss is not that familiar with you!" Moss's voice rang out again from the crowd not far away.
This seemed to attract George's attention, and he asked Salman with some amusement: "Oh? Those are not nobles who are friendly with Frost Fang and Canglan?"
"Hiss" Salman looked at some nobles not far away with a strange expression. After thinking for a long time, he said with certainty: "It is indeed not. Today, many nobles rarely interacted with our two families before. There were some disputes with you in the past. These people may really be passing by."
Indeed, it is a bit strange today.
Although the leaders of the eight major departments did not come, some nobles of the Southern Wilderness who rarely interacted with the Frost King and Canglan usually came today.
In addition, Salman originally thought that these speculators came for Canglan or the Frost King, but it seems that many people are more interested in William and other "deputy bishops" and "templars"-in fact, these people's attention is on George, but no one dares to come forward to say hello.
The Holy Envoy is indeed of noble status, but they are representatives of the interests of the nobles. And whether it is a priest or a bishop, they are essentially priests. In an occasion like today, it is normal to come here to listen to some teachings, or come here to kiss the big ring.
Although these tribal nobles may have had some disputes with Shuangya and Canglan in the past, they are very thick-skinned when they are acting. Since they can come to this hall in advance today, it also means that they don't care if Avali knows that they have contacted the Holy See.
But these people's performance is very special. After they come, they don't contact anyone and just stand there. Or they flatter Moss in a panic, as if they are looking for a savior.
And many people secretly glance at the "envoys" in the field from time to time, and their cautious eyes seem to be quietly looking at the robber leader.
There are also a few people who look at this side quietly with great awe. Occasionally, when George sees a peeping look and nods slightly in response to someone, that person is even excited and trembling all over. It's like listening to an oracle.
"Oh" George nodded after learning about the previous factions of these people. He found that although these people are of low status, the people behind them are all on the list-basically most of them sent people to come first.
Although the real person on the list has not appeared yet, this is a signal released by the two.
‘Sol is really reliable. Soraya seems to be visiting the Night Temple with a group of people. This girl has already finished, faster than Sol. ’
These people, including the shaman of Soraya, can't actually play a big role in the tribe. The real boss is the prince of the eight tribes. And these people are not superstitious about the sun god in their beliefs.
But this is enough. They have laid the groundwork, and George will take care of those princes.
After retracting his gaze towards the fireplace, George continued to play with various toys in the palace to kill time. And the knights seemed to be reluctant to entertain those nobles. At this time, they were worried about the boss and accompanied them to watch the fun.
While chatting, they talked about the origin, year, and work of those masters. It was considered to kill boring time. And soon, many nobles also participated.
Although the rough men in the Sanctuary were all from the lower class, they have been to many places with their boss over the years, and the treasures in the ancient tombs they have dug up and the spoils they have obtained from the demons are almost countless.
It can be said that most of the rare treasures of the northern nobles have gone to the Sanctuary. Many good things that have not been sold are kept in the Sanctuary and the Dawn Church all day long, being fiddled with by them.
In addition, these people often hang out with the Nightmares and adventurers, so everyone can talk about a lot of things.
So everyone has a good eye, and Aji and Brenda know the most about antiques. The nobles around them are very impressed by their eloquent talk - obviously they are all big men in the Holy Court.
Indeed, there are not many people who can reach this level of knowledge through robbery.
