Elf brother as my tool man

On the banks of the sparkling Sevier River, time seemed to have stopped with the setting sun behind the members of the Tribunal.Unlike the traps and buoys outside the city, the Sevier River in the city is smooth, and large ships and small boats come and go on the Sevier River.The sight in front of them made the members completely stunned by the two urban areas, as if they had never been disconnected or hostile. "Is there really no defense at all?" Zelatan was very surprised when he saw that there were no defense facilities on the river banks on both sides. "They really don't seem worried about us hitting them. You see, the citizens don't feel scared when they see our clothes." Livia pointed to a few old people on the other side who were lying on chairs watching the sunset. "Is the intelligence wrong? The Marquis of West Changle City has taken East Changle City behind our backs. He concealed this news from the outside world, but in fact he didn't know what he was plotting." Qiao Chenxi frowned. "If it's true, this is at least good news." Livia smiled, "At least we don't have to face a heavily fortified Dongchangle City." "Can we get there?" Qiao Chenxi dropped the question. "It's impossible to tell. Look, there's a ferry terminal over there." Xiaoya pointed to the river bank and said, while Xiaofang next to her was recording something. "Three ships with 30 people and five tons," she muttered. "Are you counting the number of goods and guests coming and going at the dock, Xiaofang?" Qiao Chenxi understood that Xiaofang was such a thoughtful person. "Look, Sister Chenxi, have you seen the grain ship coming from the other side?" Xiaofang pointed out, "It seems that there are only people coming from our place to the other side, but there are a lot of goods coming over there." "That's it. , it seems to be confirmed that the goods in Changle City come from the area controlled by the evil sect." Qiao Chenxi frowned and said, "This is not good news, Xiaofang." "I originally thought that they were funding the enemy, but I didn't expect that they were being funded by the enemy." Livia is quite optimistic. "You can't think so, Captain Livia." Qiao Chenxi shook his head, "It's impossible for the evil cultists to send him food and money for no reason. I think they must have made some kind of deal." "It's been so long, After going through so many things, the evil cultists are still making deals with them." Livia thought, "I find it difficult to explain it with existing theories. It's all so weird, like a well-designed trap." "For business, it is very important to have a principle." Qiao Chenxi was full of confidence. "Some people do the beheading business, and no one cares about the loss-making business. There is only one possibility for merchants to transport goods here, that It’s just that they can make money. I don’t think it’s a trap, because doing business here seems to really make money.” “Their pursuit of money can really outweigh the gap in faith.” Livia frowned He said, "What a group of terrible guys." "Everyone, I suggest that we ask the Marquis directly." Xiaofang suggested at the side, "I think he should tell the truth." "Although I can't believe him [-]%, I don't think so. There is no other way. We can't go to the other side of the river like these citizens coming and going," Qiao Chenxi said helplessly. "It's better not to act rashly now." Livia agreed.After observing the situation on both sides of the Sevier River for a period of time, everyone returned to the vicinity of the Marquis's residence.The Marquis's residence is no different from any other mansion on the same street.Since the old royal palace and barracks are all in East Changle City, there is nothing suitable for the rulers of "half Changle City" to live in West Changle City.This scene made Qiao Chenxi finally confirm that the eastern half of Changle City did not belong to the Marquis.Not far away is the "Big Raceville Restaurant", a luxurious hotel.As night approaches, there is an endless stream of guests at the door.The invitations in the hands of the members of the trial team were sent from here.There are many hotels in Changle City that can host large banquets for more than a hundred people, but the "Big Raceville Restaurant" is the most famous among them.The Marquis seemed to be spending a lot of money by inviting the entire trial team to come here for dinner.But the more generous he was, the weirder the members felt. "I feel that we can no longer be led by others." Qiao Chenxi muttered.But in the few hours since they entered the city, the Tribunal and the others have been able to move around almost freely without any restrictions.The bell rang at six o'clock, and the Marquis led the officials out of the official residence on time. The judges and paladins of the Judgment Team lined up to receive the Marquis' welcome.Immediately afterwards, the Marquis Guards also walked out of the official residence and drove away passers-by. "In the name of the goddess of joy, welcome guests from afar." The Marquis opened his hands, and then waved to instruct the jury to follow them to the hotel. "In the name of the Goddess of Joy" Qiao Chenxi had heard that in this city, the Holy Light was equivalent to the Goddess of Joy, but when this word came out of the Marquis' mouth, she always felt a little strange. "May the Holy Light protect you, Mr. Marquis." Livia's reply was quite appropriate.Although this pre-war stationing turned into a tourist reception, he still did not forget the purpose of coming and his identity. "Please." The word "glorious" is not an exaggeration to describe the Big Sailville Restaurant.Compared to hotels elsewhere in the Sevier area that are struggling to make ends meet, this is the epitome of luxury.The passage leading to the hotel area is paved with colored glass, while the walls and ceiling are made of limestone, a very precious building material.The decoration on the wall even imitates Castle Rock, with several saints of the Holy Light sect engraved on it. "This seems to be Saint Guisal" Xiaoya pointed to the sculpture on the wall, pulled Qiao Chenxi's sleeve and whispered. "Indeed, people here still seem to believe in the Holy Light Sect to some extent." Qiao Chenxi lowered her head and whispered to her.The banquet hall is even more luxurious. Every chair and table seems to be made of precious metals and decorated with gems and crystals.Even the carpet underfoot seemed to be woven from fine cashmere from the northern grasslands. "Tell me, why did the Marquis entertain us like this?" Xiaofang still held her notebook in her hand.In just a few hours after arriving here, she had already memorized half of it. "You are the most thoughtful among the four of us. Have you discovered anything else?" Qiao Chenxi asked in a low voice while following the large army. "I discovered something unusual about the statues of saints just now." Xiaofang nodded vigorously, "In the introductory words below these statues, they are not called saints, but envoys of gods."
