Chapter 184 The demeanor of the Tianlong people

The capital of the Kingdom of Goa, the whole city showed a fanatical attitude towards the arrival of the world's aristocratic Tianlong people. It seemed that it had forgotten that the terminal of the uncertain objects outside the city was completely burned by the fire not long ago.

The king of the Goa Kingdom personally greeted the representatives of the world government all the way to the palace. Along the way, everyone walked on a specially built high platform, covered with brand new carpets, extending from the palace to the pier, freshly picked in the morning Flowers are dotted in between.

The inspection team of the world government was led by several world government officials in black suits, and another team of guards in strange armor was at the back. The representative of the Tianlong people who came this time, Jermark Saint, was in the middle of the team.

The figure of the Celestial Dragon Man Germac Saint is relatively fat. Wearing the characteristic costumes of the Celestial Dragon Man and wearing a special hood, the whole person looks even more bloated.

Of course, what is even more surprising and curious is that it is not the strange costume of the Celestial Dragon man Jermark Saint, but that he always rides on the back of a person along the way, and he still holds two chains in his hands. Behind the chains are Strapped to two shirtless men with haggard faces.

The reporter of "Donghai News", Anna was also among the crowd in the audience.

Anna was originally a maid in the home of Reed, the Minister of Finance of the Kingdom of Navia. Because of her meritorious service in informing William, and Reed was eliminated, she was recruited into the "Donghai News" as a special reporter at her own request. .

Influenced by the education of the previous ten years, Anna was also a little excited to see the demeanor of the noble Tianlong people in the world, just like other common people around her.

But when Anna really saw Tianlongren with her own eyes, and found that the other party was not as she imagined, with outstanding demeanor, extraordinary demeanor, and even looked a bit wretched in appearance, she felt very disappointed.

Anna compared the Tianlong people in front of her with the high-level officials of the Navia Kingdom she had seen before, not to mention comparing them with William, Dampier, Aramis, and Sherlock who were outstanding in appearance, even if they were not The famous Harden, Selkirk and others have far stronger temperament and image than the Tianlong people in front of them.

Anna pursed her lips, and after holding up the camera to take a few photos, her eyes began to wander elsewhere. At this time, the team of Tianlong people passed by the high platform in front of her. The Celestial Dragon Jermak Paladin was under him, naked to the waist, with his head bowed, silently lying on the face of the Celestial Dragon slave walking on the ground.

Anna's whole body was shaken, as if she had been enchanted, her gaze followed the slave's figure involuntarily, until the inspection team left, Anna still looked at the direction they left without blinking.

What kind of expression is that?

Anna had underestimated the look and gaze of the Tianlong slave during the short exchange of glances just now. The slave's face didn't even have the humiliation and anger that Anna had expected, but was just numb and mechanical.

Now that Anna thinks about it, maybe such a situation is normal. If a slave has even a sliver of reason and emotion in his heart, he will be tortured to the point of madness by this humiliating life, either going mad or committing suicide. Only when superfluous emotions have been discarded, can they endure the life of slaves, and under the gaze of thousands of people, they are like a cow, horse or livestock, being ridden by another person and crawling on the red carpet.

They have lost their dignity as "human beings".

Anna was born in a slum area, and she received a lot of stares when she was growing up. Before William appeared in Kalmar City, she also encountered difficulties from the privileges of the kingdom's nobles, but she had not experienced such an experience as a Tianlong slave. bear such humiliation.

Ana's upbringing made her empathize with being a Draconian slave, so she was full of sympathy.

However, she still remembered her work, and she only thought about it for a while, then collected her mood and left. She had already bribed many people so that she could sneak in in disguise at the subsequent banquet,

In addition to collecting and editing news about Tianlong people, she also has another important task, which is to find out the real situation of the burning of the terminal of the uncertain object.

In fact, in the capital city of the Kingdom of Goa, there are actually many civilians who are puzzled by the fire at the terminal of the Uncertain Object. These local people know as much about this garbage mountain as William’s investigation team. It’s not that there was no accident or fire at the terminal, but it has never been as bizarre as this time. The whole fire seemed to burn out suddenly, without any warning. Few people really believed that it was not arson.

Therefore, there are rumors that some nearby pirates or bandits set fire to the uncertain terminal in order to hinder the inspection team of the world government, and it is even suspected that it was the bandits named Dadan's family from Mount Golpo who did it.

However, Anna faintly felt that things were not that simple. The reason why bandits or pirates set fire to the rubbish mountain in order to hinder the inspection team of the world government was somewhat untenable. Do those nobles in the upper class know it?

...

That evening, in Kalmar City, in the newspaper office of Donghai News, an editor-in-chief with thick glasses knocked on the door of Gesetta's office: "Editor-in-chief, there is news from Anna."

Gesetta, who was actively working overtime, raised her eyes from the desk and looked at the editor-in-chief: "The one who is not sure about the terminal?"

The editor-in-chief nodded: "It was the king of the Kingdom of Goa who initiated the arson. The officials of the capital colluded with the local criminal gangs at the terminal of the uncertain object in advance, placed igniters provided by the army at various points, and then burned the garbage mountain clean in one fell swoop. , everything is to leave a good impression on the other party when the world government inspection team arrives. Almost all the nobles in Gaozhen know about this matter, they don't care about it at all, a bunch of big mouths, Anna can't They pretended to be at a banquet for a long time, and then heard the truth from their mouths."

Gesetta scratched his messy hair, lit a cigarette, and after thinking about it for a while, he was keenly aware that there were a few key pieces of information in it, which William would definitely be interested in, so he said, "You sort out the news. Just a moment, and then go with me to see the consul."

The editor-in-chief was startled, and then responded excitedly. They are all journalists who rely on all kinds of news to survive and work. No one in the newspaper office knows that William, the first consul of the kingdom, is the uncrowned king of the kingdom. If he can get him Appreciation, in this country is really a step up to the sky.

The editor-in-chief in front of me, the new Quaker Seta in the East China Sea news circle recently, didn't he get his current status because he was appreciated and promoted by William?

After a while, the excited editor-in-chief sorted out the information that Anna sent back, carefully hugged her in her arms, and followed Gesetta to William's manor.

At this time, William was holding a research meeting with Edmund, Aramis, Crowe, Dampier, and a group of outstanding people who had experience and research on swordsmanship and fighting skills, and studied the six swords brought back by Ajin. style notes, and work together to improve their own swordsmanship textbooks.

William has held similar research meetings for many times during this period. Many times, the participants in the meetings are not fixed due to work reasons, but as long as he has time, William will hold one time to communicate with a group of subordinates. Most of the time There will also be direct hands-on discussions and actual combat verification.

In the final analysis, fighting is also a skill, and it also needs to be summed up. Whether it is Koshiro's Yixinliu, or the navy's six styles and life return, they are all skills that have been sorted out after summarization, physical combat, training, and mental skills. The collision and induction are very important.

The editor-in-chief looked nervous at this group of high-level cadres, and he kept holding his glasses. Gesetta was used to it. He knew that William hated subordinates' sloppy work, so he handed the materials to William behind the desk, and immediately started working. report.
