Chapter 337 The First Batch of High-Level Professionals
Chapter 337 The First Batch of High-Level Professionals
Myron and Sidney eventually arrived at Capet's capital in a situation they had never imagined.
At this time, Myron was stretching his body while talking with the Lars knights around him.
It has to be said that these Lars Knights in heavy armor are quite difficult to deal with. Not to mention their defense, they are also surprisingly flexible. Coupled with the large number of messy long-range props, Myron realized that the Lars Knights, known as the Turtle Knights, have completely become a thing of the past.
If these knights appeared one by one, Myron could still rely on his more flexible fighting style to defeat them, but if these knights rushed at him like before, Myron would not gain much advantage in a head-on battle.
Sidney was even more miserable. The spellcaster's strength was not one-on-one. When Myron was entangled, the opponent actually grabbed Sidney and beat him up. The seemingly bulky armor had extraordinary mobility. In addition, the commander also had a bunch of long-range props on him, so Sidney had no chance to breathe. As a result, Sidney, who could not pull away, finally chose to surrender.
"What's that huge thing? A wizard's tower?"
Sidney stroked his beard and looked curiously at the obelisk that was being built in the center of the royal capital.
"That is used to power the magical equipment in this city. You can also think of it as a strengthened version of the traditional Mage Tower."
After hearing Hammond's explanation, Sidney nodded and carefully observed the obelisk and said, "The structure looks simple yet ingenious, and there are many places that can be expanded. It is truly a masterpiece."
Hearing Sidney praising the obelisk, a Lars knight complained: "Old man, don't you understand human language? I thought you could only understand the sounds of ray guns and melting swords."
Hammond immediately rebuked the knight: "Watch your words. He is our guest after all!"
Then, Hammond turned to Sidney and said, "Master, don't mind it. These are young people, so it's inevitable that they don't know how to speak well. It was just a misunderstanding before, and it will be fine once it's resolved."
Hearing Hammond's advice, Sidney felt that even the dull voice coming from Hammond's helmet became more pleasant to the ear, although he didn't know who had caused the bruises on Sidney's face.
Hammond has already seen that this high-level spellcaster prefers to be soft-hearted. As long as he is coaxed, he is easy to talk to.
Of course, the other party was indeed a little domineering, but it didn't matter. If the other party crossed the line like before, Hammond would tell the other party the rules here like before.
Compared to Sidney, Myron looked around more curiously and asked, "Is there no distinction between inner and outer cities now?"
"Yes, the inner and outer city walls are already being demolished. The Governor said that building a wall in the city is a waste."
Hammond served as a guide for the two high-level professionals diligently, introducing everything about the royal capital.
"No, that's not what I'm talking about. We are in the outer city now, right? Why doesn't the outer city stink as badly as before?"
Although Myron is the knight and Sidney is the spellcaster, compared to the domineering Sidney, Myron seems to be the one responsible for the mental work.
"Yes, the Governor-General took great pains to solve this problem."
Even though Hammond's helmet has a simple purification function, when thinking of the smell in the outer city, Hammond's helmet even gives people the illusion of frowning.
The situation in the royal capital was very complicated. Even after Linde built public toilets, the situation did not improve. Finally, it was Lilith who led the church to take action, and the outer city area became slightly better from being extremely smelly.
Listening to Hammond's description of the various changes in the capital, Myron had a general understanding in his mind, especially when he saw the old nobles still hanging on the new street lamps.
This northern governor was a man of great courage. He killed most of the nobles in the royal capital in one go. I heard that this was only the result after the governor's wife pleaded for those nobles, otherwise more than two-thirds of the nobles in the royal capital would have been involved.
Even after killing so many people, the efficiency of the royal capital not only did not decrease, but on the contrary it improved significantly.
The governor's methods were rather simple and crude, but effective. In fact, they were so simple that Myron couldn't find any fault with them.
The meeting with the secular monarch did not involve flowers and a red carpet as Myron and Sidney had imagined. Instead, it was a very ordinary conversation at each other's mansion.
"I have heard about you two. Welcome back to Capet."
Sidney snorted coldly, obviously dissatisfied with such an informal meeting, but Myron was more relaxed and sat down casually to chat with the Northern Governor.
The expected grand welcome ceremony was no longer important to Myron. He was more curious about what Capet had become now.
After sending the two to the mansion, Hammond left. After sensing Hammond's aura disappeared, Myron asked curiously, "Governor, your Knight Lars has left."
Lind simply nodded and responded, "Yes, there may be many high-level professionals like you two who have returned from the tower, so the Lars Knights are very busy now."
"No, Governor, I mean that you are very easy to be attacked like this."
Myron had no other intentions and was really giving a kind reminder, but at this moment Sidney suddenly jumped up, with a lightning blade in his hand, and stabbed at Lind.
"Interesting, the Holy Light actually took the initiative to protect you."
Seeing that the sharp blade of lightning was blocked by the light curtain, Sidney was not embarrassed. After all, Sidney had no intention of doing anything to Lind, so he looked Lind up and down instead.
Although he remained calm, Lind admitted that he was frightened. Although the old man was a spellcaster, his explosive power was not inferior to that of some ordinary knights. Fortunately, he had 550C as a foundation, otherwise Lind would not have been so confident to meet two high-level professionals alone.
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency the Governor. Sidney has always been like this. He doesn't really want to hurt you."
Myron also pulled Sidney back again, and Linde waved his hand and said, "It's okay. This time I met with you two, I mainly want to talk to you about the high-level professionals."
Lind did not directly plan to recruit these high-level professionals who had been away from secular society for a long time. Some of these high-level professionals could even be considered an independent force, so cooperation was still the main approach.
Lind did not expect these high-level professionals to work for him, but at least he wanted them to remain neutral, or not have too strong tendencies.
After listening to Lind's request, Myron was not too surprised. The only surprise was that the other party was so calm and patient. But thinking about those Lars knights, the other party did have the capital to be patient.
But for Myron, this is not enough.
After fighting with those Lars knights and arriving in the royal capital, Myron had new considerations.
"Your Excellency the Governor, I have no interest in these things."
Myron pushed back on a series of exchange conditions proposed by Lind and said, "I want to join Knight Lars."
