Gold is Justice

"Congratulations, Your Majesty welcomes you, you can now prepare to enter the imperial city to meet His Majesty."

Hearing these words, Ariel always felt that her spirit was trembling, and her whole body seemed to fall into an ice hole in the twelfth lunar month of winter.

After a bit of a dull nod, she could only watch the maids come in, help herself change and make up, then leave the post house and start heading towards the magnificent blue castle.

----

Today, the sun has come to noon.

For all nobles and royal families, this may be just the most ordinary afternoon on the simplest day. They can enjoy an exquisite lunch, watch exquisite operas, and exchange art with each other while talking. appreciation.

But outside the luxurious and exquisite aristocratic area, in the slums, a figure flashed through the gaps in a row of buildings like lightning, and quickly jumped from one gap to another. .

Like a rat, a... terrified rat being hunted.

"Where?! Where did that guy escape to?!"

"Look over there! You must not let him go!"

On the street, some guards shouted, exchanged messages, and searched for any place they could find.After searching and failing to find anything, they dispersed in groups of two and continued to search in this complex slum.

As the guards finally left, the young man hiding in the gap finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He trembled and curled up his whole body.With tears hanging from the corners of his eyes, he looked a bit disheveled, barefoot, and the coarse cloth clothes on his upper body were now a little damaged.

To avoid being found, he drilled deeper into these slums.While walking, he even pulled up his already worn-out collar to cover his face as much as possible.

Fortunately, this slum was full of dilapidated people like him, so his whereabouts did not seem so strange.

"Woooooo...Mayor Garcia...Mr. Cream...Mr. Dark...Mr. Igor...Where are you guys? The Posthouse...Where is the Posthouse now? Woooooo... "

There were tears in the corners of Jelly's eyes, the corners of his mouth were pursed, and he wanted to cry, but after seeing the chilling slum atmosphere around him, he didn't dare to cry directly, so he could only mutter and tremble.

He was trembling as he walked aimlessly along this street. Now that he was being hunted down, he didn't dare to ask anyone. He could only rely on the chaotic memory of last night and search hard to see if there was anything familiar around him. The environment allows him to find his way back to the post house.

It's just that such a search is time-consuming and laborious after all, and it may not be effective.

"What should I do... what should I do? Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...should I wait until dark? ...I miss you so much... Mr. Duck... woo woo woo..."

Thinking of the sadness, Jelly couldn't help but raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and sniffed her nose.

To be honest, he really didn't know what happened, and everything in front of him was simply inexplicable to him!

Last night, he went to find Mochi, who seemed to be younger than him, and asked her to take him to see the territory of the light of heaven, and see if he could find Dak.

From the feeling, he thinks that the blood clan of Mochi should also be interested in this huge human city, right?So the two reached an agreement without much obstruction and left the post house.

But I didn't expect it to be reduced to such a point now... This is really terrible... I really don't know what to do now...

Jelly walked a few steps along the road ahead, but unexpectedly turned a corner and walked into a dead end.And in this dead end, there are about a dozen people curled up here with blankets rolled up. After seeing someone coming, these people all raised their heads one by one, and looked at Jelly with empty and lifeless eyes.

After seeing the eyes of these people, Jelly was slightly taken aback, and quickly lowered her head, turned around and was about to leave.But after he exited this dead end, he was not surprised to find——

I got lost again.

The first thousand 290 nine chapters of thunder

The waiter nodded lightly, and said: "Ah, Mr. Yigo. Then please wait later, I will lead Mayor Garcia into the residence and come to greet you. At that time, we need to do some detailed background investigations. You need to fill out a few A form for some inquiries. I hope you don't mind."

Ariel froze for a moment, and she looked around for a while, only to see that although the surroundings of the post house looked very peaceful, the number of guards patrolling seemed to be a little more than when there was a large celebration last year.

Thinking about the situation along the way into the city, the inspection at the gate of the city is much stricter than before, and there are soldiers patrolling back and forth on the streets from time to time.

At first, Ariel thought it was because of the new emperor's ascension to the throne, so she had to maintain a certain degree of strictness during the current period.

But now hearing that such a "mistress of the second prince" brought a person over to stay with him, he had to maintain such a high level of vigilance. It was obvious that something had happened.

"Ah? So troublesome? Then...forget it, I'll go find my friend, then President Ariel, thank you for giving me a ride, see you later!"

As he said that, the elf didn't wait for Ariel to speak, and turned around and left. He jumped onto the roof of a low building next to him and disappeared without a trace.

Seeing the elves disappear, Jelly seemed even more nervous now, and her teeth were trembling involuntarily.

And Ariel didn't have the spirit to take care of him, and followed the waiter into the post house, pretending to say lightly——

"What's the matter? The inspection is so strict now? It wasn't so strict at this time last year."

While leading the way, the waiter apologized and said with a smile: "Recently, it has been an eventful time. The past emperor passed away, and the whole country is in grief. In addition, Belan XIII has just ascended the throne. In order to prevent the Murderer Seat Empire from using this time to do something to us, we should be cautious. That's good. After all, last year, spies from the enemy country sneaked into our country and waited for an opportunity to sabotage it."

Ariel nodded slightly.

Thinking about it carefully, the Seville incident last year was indeed a spy invasion.From this point of view, this matter really did not escape the eyes of the royal family, and I don't know how many bloody storms happened without my knowledge, so that this matter was suppressed.

Thinking about it from another angle, did I also participate in the espionage case last year and contributed to the Blue Bay Empire?

Up to the top floor, the waiter led Ariel to stop in front of the largest room.At this moment, the other waiters had already brought over Ariel's luggage from the elemental cart, and were placing them in the room little by little.

Looking at this spacious three-bedroom room, which is almost two floors higher than the surrounding low buildings, especially the castle that can be directly seen in the distance from the floor-to-ceiling windows, Ariel exhaled slightly, feeling somewhat Nervous and a little excited.

"Then, please rest here first, I will quickly pass the news of your arrival to the imperial city, and arrange for you to go to the imperial city in the near future. If you have anything to do, please ring this bell here, and we will go to the imperial city immediately Come."

"Well, then there will be labor."

Saying goodbye to Ariel, the waiter turned his head to look at Cream, Mochi, and Jelly behind him, and said, "This way please, I have arranged rooms for the three of you."

As the voice fell, the door of Ariel's room was also closed.Let the mayor enjoy this solitary leisure time.

As for the next time, it is rest.In any case, recently... or in other words, as soon as tomorrow, he will enter the palace to meet His Majesty, the Queen, his titular "lover", and...Miss Alice.

Thinking of meeting Alice, Ariel suddenly felt that coming to the imperial city again was not such a scary thing.In any case, she also somewhat missed this innocent and lovely young lady.

Thinking of this, Ariel entered the bathroom.

Looking at the large bathing bathroom that was completely incomparable to her Mermaid Song guild, Ariel licked her lips, immediately closed all the curtains, and found out all the toiletries around.But after dealing with all this and realizing that there is no hot water here, he patted himself on the head, went to the door and picked up the bell and shook it. Not long after, two maids came to the door and listened to Ariel. After the instructions, immediately go to prepare hot water.

It didn't take long for Ariel to be able to lie in this huge bathtub with ease, enjoying the feeling of the delicate foam covering her whole body, and then letting her tired body relax for a long time.

Well~~~ Although it is not as good as the lava baths in the city, it can still make do with it.

In this way, after taking a bath, Ariel changed into her pajamas, went to bed early, buried herself in the warm bed, rested to the fullest and prepared to refresh herself, so as to welcome the arrival of a new day.

----

Bang bang bang bang bang bang!

A hasty knock on the door woke Ariel up from her dream.

She rubbed her eyes, yawned and got up from the bed.But before she could sort out her emotions, she heard a noise coming from the door.

"You can't do this! Sir, you can't disturb the baron's rest!"

"What are you bothering or not? Get out of here! I have an urgent matter with our president!"

"Sir! The baron is resting! If you say that..."

"Aren't you annoying?! President! President, please open the door quickly!"

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!

The knock on the door became more urgent.

Ariel heard it clearly, it was Cream's voice.And the assassin is so anxious now, it is obvious that something serious happened.

At the moment, Ariel didn't care about her decency, she quickly pulled up a blanket to wrap her body slightly, and immediately went to the door and opened it.

Cream outside was full of agitation, and seemed to be planning to fight those maids who were blocking her. When she saw Ariel appearing, she immediately approached her president and said nervously——

"(softly) jelly and mochi, gone."

"The two of them?!"

This news was beyond Ariel's expectation!Originally, she thought that something more tense would happen, but she didn't expect that the situation far exceeded her imagination!

At that moment, Ariel nodded lightly, closed the door with her backhand, and immediately walked back to the bedroom, throwing away the dresses she originally planned to change, and took out two clean clothes and pants from her suitcase that had been washed on the road before. Go up, come to the gate again, and let Cream in.

"(softly) What's going on? How did the two of them disappear?"

Cream glanced at the maids at the door, gritted his teeth, and said softly, "Yesterday, the waiter sent us to our respective rooms. Because it was still daytime, I guess Mochi fell asleep as soon as he entered the room. I I was worried that that boy, Jelly, would not be stable alone, so I thought about going to chat with him, and play the national war card for a while."

"During the card game, that kid kept asking me about Duck. But these are Duck's private affairs, and I can't tell others without his consent, let alone that kid is not a member of our Mermaid Song, So it’s a bit of a prevarication. He just said that his hometown is here, maybe he went back to his hometown to visit relatives.”

"That kid seemed to have something wrong when he was having dinner, but I didn't pay much attention to it at that time. As a result, after dinner, I wanted to go around to make sure it was safe before I went to bed before knocking on his door. As a result, his door It's just locked and not opened."

"I felt a little strange, so I climbed out of his window along the outer wall, wanting to make sure that nothing happened to him. But I didn't see that guy."

"At that time, I didn't think about the worst. I always felt that young people who came to the capital for the first time might be interested in everything, so they should go out and hang out."

"Then, just to be on the safe side, I knocked on the door of Mochi's room, but the door was ajar. I went in and saw a note on the table, which said 'I went out with Jelly "Such a line of words. I think it's Mochi's words, and I think the two of them are in good spirits. Thinking that one of them is a magic affinity and the other is a blood race, this combination should be fine, so there are not many. If you think about it, go back to your room and sleep."

Hearing this, Ariel immediately understood the seriousness of the matter, frowned, and said, "And then? Haven't they come back until now?"

Cream squeezed his fists, and in the end, he could only lower his head, and said softly: "Yes. I am worried about their safety... If it was night, they could still be regarded as having two fighting forces. But now the sky is completely It's bright, the girl Mochi is not as good as Cheese and can last for a while during the day, I'm worried...I'm worried that something happened to them..."

Now that things have happened, Ariel really wants to step out of this room immediately, and then go find these two guys!

what the hell?It's only the first day in the capital, and these two children are making trouble for themselves? !Cheese had already had an accident because he wanted to see Lan Wen before, which almost led to very serious consequences.This allowed Ariel to have a full understanding of the personality of the vampires, and she knew very well that these vampires were just a bunch of deadbeats!

Now, a dead-headed young blood girl and a stunned young man who can't control his magic affinity well, these two haven't returned all night, how many terrible things can they do? !

"President, I will go find them right now!"

Cream also saw the anxiety and resentment on Ariel's face, and immediately made up his mind.

Ariel snorted, and said: "The best answer I can think of right now is that the two of them eloped! This is the best result I can think of right now! Huh...Cream, I can't just go Leaving the post house casually, I am the mayor of Pelican City, since I entered the post house, all subsequent actions must be recorded. My mobility is inconvenient, so I can only rely on you."

Cream nodded and turned around.

But at this moment, Ariel immediately seemed to think of something, and continued: "Also, try to find as many people as possible to help. But don't make things big! God knows what the two of them can do!" Trouble is coming. If you can’t find it initially, go to Duck’s Light of Heaven and see if you can activate his people... and that elf Egg, if you can find him, ask him to help, but also Don't go into too much detail! And... and... and boss Gwent Hearthstone! We helped him a lot last year! And that Fettsmith! Let me see... oops, anyway, don't take things Make trouble! Get them back as soon as possible! If you really can't find them, please send the news back to me as soon as possible, and let me know how far things have progressed!"

Watching Cream leave, Ariel didn't feel the slightest bit of relaxation.

That is, in less than a minute after the assassin left, Ariel immediately began to regret it.

Because if Cream also leaves now, then he will have no one to protect him at all, right?

A baron with absolutely no protection from anyone?A weak woman?A high-ranking person like himself who has no fighting power at all?

God!Now Ariel really regrets why she sent Cream out in such a hurry!In other words, why did I think that such a few people would be enough, but didn't bring out some more members from my guild!

Ariel is very regretful now, and her whole body seems to be a little twitching.
