Chapter 805: Unkind Visitors
As a genius with the potential to become the Grand Master, William has a very good status in the Calais Federation and has been awarded a separate seat as a member of parliament.
Although he had the help of his family, he had fought for this seat extra and it was not the one originally designated by the family. In the future, after his father retires, he can continue to recommend his eldest brother to inherit the original family position of parliamentarian.
He just came over and said that Count Luke did not come. His purpose was actually just a simple stress test. Considering Count Luke's status, there was no need for him to come and see him in person. But if Count Luke attached importance to the Calais Federation, it was not impossible for him to come and express his friendship.
The fact that people didn't come here already represents an attitude to a certain extent, he was just saying it casually.
But he really never expected that the target of this assessment, the acting president of the Mages Guild in Dunno City, did not even come?
Originally, when he said "Why didn't Earl Luke come?", he wanted to put pressure on the acting president and create a preemptive effect.
It's like, 'Look, I can even compete with the big backer who recommended you.'
But in the end, this performance, which had been fully prepared and carefully arranged, was performed entirely to empty space.
Oh, I saw the Baron Dolph in front of me, but William had already received some information about the relevant people in Dunno before he came here. Baron Dolph was just a loyal dog of Earl Luke, and he still regarded himself as a warrior, a rough man who didn't care about aristocratic etiquette.
What's the point of showing it to him?
"The Count is busy with his duties."
Dolph snorted coldly with a horse face.
William had originally intended to intimidate the acting president of the Mages Guild with his words, but not only did it fail to have the desired effect, it also made Baron Dolph look unhappy.
Who are you? You even want the Earl to come and greet you in person?
The status of a mage is indeed high, but as Earl Luke is a top-level Grand Knight and the Lord of the East Land of the Principality of Kedun, ordinary mages are not qualified to put on airs!
Dolph’s position is that of Luke’s most loyal subject, and this unhappiness is directly reflected on his face, and he is pulled down directly.
If it weren't for the fact that he still had a mission to accomplish, his attitude would probably be even worse.
This made William, who saw Dolph's expression, also take note of the acting president who did not come over.
As a member of parliament and a high-level wizard, he couldn't do anything directly even if Dolph gave him a cold shoulder.
The other person's personality is just that of a rough guy, there's no way he can argue with a rough guy!
However, the Jinhu he brought with him was also a rough man. Now he stepped out from behind William and shouted:
"Why are you so angry? William can't even ask a question? Count Luke is the owner here, can't you ask him where he is? Is this how you treat your guests in Dunno City?"
As he spoke, he took a step forward.
The burly figure of more than two meters brought tremendous pressure. Baron Dolph, who was nearly five meters tall, was a head shorter and smaller than the other. Even with armor on, he was not as strong as the other with his bare chest.
A sense of wildness came over him, causing Dofu to frown.
"Humph, barbarian."
Dolph is also a high-level knight, but at this moment he is still clearly at a disadvantage in terms of momentum .
"What's wrong with barbarians? Do you look down on us barbarians? Let me tell you, Kedun, we don't have many nobles in Calais, unlike you! Don't use your bad habits on me!"
Jin Hu pointed as he spoke.
In fact, when he was talking to William on the airship, he mocked the hypocrisy of these congressmen. He knew that it was just a change of name but not the substance. But when they were here, they played dumb and said directly, "We are different."
"Don't touch me."
When Dolph saw the other party's carrot-sized finger pointing at his shoulder, he immediately raised his hand and slapped it away.
But when he patted the other person's wrist, he felt a huge force that made him feel a chill in his heart.
The powerful force made him involuntarily take a few steps back.
Every step he took back left a deep footprint on the muddy ground where the airship was docked.
The Golden Tiger on the other side had no intention of pursuing the victory at this time, but just stood there and said mockingly:
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't expect that you, the commander of a city's troops, would be so weak. I shouldn't have used more strength if I had known."
They are here to do business, not to fight, they can be strong, or he, a barbarian, can take on the attitude of a reckless man like Dofu.
But it was enough to save his face, he couldn't really do anything to Dolf.
After Dolph regained his balance, he looked at the big man with a gloomy look on his face.
It turns out that he comes with bad intentions!
As soon as he got off the boat, he asked the Earl first, and then gave himself a warning.
Or maybe that old wizard was so cunning that he just didn’t come.
However, Master Yi can choose not to come, but I, representing Count Luke, cannot.
The barbarian bloodline is indeed worthy of its reputation. The strength of this physical body alone is probably beyond that of an ordinary great knight. Even though his breathing method is much weaker and the magic power he can mobilize is still within the scope of the knight level, he is probably a tough guy who can fight with an ordinary great knight.
It is said that Congressman William is also a high-level wizard. This combination is really powerful!
However, Dolph also knew that although they came with bad intentions this time, they would not cause any big moves.
After all, he only brought such a small number of people, and if they really fell out, the Earl would be able to kill them both with one blow.
Judging from our initial contact, their ambitions are probably not small...
"There's nothing wrong with being inferior to others in skills. The barbarian bloodline is well-deserved."
Dolph was not angry because of the humiliation he had suffered before . What else could he do if he was embarrassed because of his lack of strength?
Call your men to join you?
After all, the other side has a member of parliament from Calais. Minor bumps and bruises don't matter. Whether to break up is a decision that only the Earl can make.
It's true that he is a reckless man, but he knows exactly what to do and when.
"Please, I'll take you two to the guesthouse."
Dolph brushed off some of the dirt that had splashed onto his body and made a gesture of invitation.
As for the other people on the airship, they were beyond his reach!
The magic airship itself is a commercial activity. He just came here to receive the representatives of the Mages Guild from Calais, that's all!
If you want to talk to the Count, please send your visiting card yourself...
…
William and Jin Hu got on the carriage prepared by Dolph. When Jin Hu got on, he could clearly feel a creaking sound from the carriage.
But fortunately, the wood in this world is still very resilient under the infiltration of magic, and it started to move with a clattering sound.
After getting in the car, Jin Hu couldn't help but touch his messy beard and muttered
"That guy isn't as reckless as he appears."
Then he grinned, revealing his white teeth.
"Same as me."
William said calmly upon hearing this.
"Anyone who can be trusted by Count Luke is naturally a man of great talent. However, I never expected that the acting president would not come. Is he really sure that the Mage Guild will give face to the Count of Flame?"
At this point, even William felt a little speechless.
Many of the steps that were previously scheduled require the other party to be present.
As a result, not only did he offend the city guard officer Dolph, he also searched for the enemy in the air and performed his trick to the air.
They came here only for the reason of the Mage Guild assessment and did not state the demands of the Calais Federation in advance.
I originally wanted to take advantage of this situation to make some comments, but now I have no choice but to go to the Mage Tower to deal with the acting president.
I hope that I can force Count Luke out of the Mage Guild. I can use the interests that have been accumulated in the past...
