Realm of Power

697 Airey Storm (1)

The dusk in Airey seemed a bit slow, and the golden sunset dragged out long black shadows on the huge city wall of Airlay. This was an inconspicuous-looking hotel, and bursts of refreshing wind blew in from the window of the room.

Salton, who is known as the "Governor of Millions", is the only guest in the room. He is wearing a simple black dress, like most people in Airey, without the silver thread that represents the noble status. , if no one introduced him, no one would associate the simple middle-aged man in front of him with the powerful Governor Su Ruo, who is worth tens of millions.

He did not order the lights to be lit, but sat alone in the darkness admiring the scenery outside the window.

April in the Airlay Mountains is the most beautiful season of the year. The wheat grass is green, and under the majestic white peaks, there are large tracts of dense emerald forest, like golden turquoise flowers. Large tracts extend along the towering mountains into the distance. On the right is the Argos Mountains that traverses the northeast. Winter has not yet The melted white snow is like wearing a white hat on the top of the mountain. The mountain below is already green, and the pleasant spring-like scenery is mixed with it. The refreshing wind blows in your face.

Salton's eyes focused on the left side of Airlay City. It was an inner bay, with gentle crystal waves and arc-shaped white sand embankments. Under the blue sky, there were dots of white sails and several merchant ships flying with flags representing the Chamber of Commerce. The flag, like a carp crossing a river, draws lines of pleasing white waves on the water.

Seeing this bustling waterway, a complicated emotion flashed through Salton's eyes. He knew that this waterway should have been built after the Falcon Dynasty took control of Airlay.

The inward curved arc suitable for docking merchant ships is a typical commercial waterway, but the huge port is also somewhat uncoordinated. After watching it for an afternoon, Salton has long discovered that these merchant ships are not large in size. But the spacious port exit is surprisingly large. Even five merchant ships can pass through easily.

This seemingly useless design, in Salton's eyes, has a moving meaning. The mountainous areas in the northern part of Dorok are densely covered with rivers, which is an excellent commercial waterway network, and Airey, as Dorok The hub of the northern mountainous area, this river port in front of you is actually responsible for the operation hub of the entire northern mountainous area of ​​Dorok.

Of course, this is just a commercial thoroughfare. From a military perspective, once the Falcon Dynasty decides to launch a crusade against the Dorok Mountains downstream, this place will transform into a huge military export port for supplies and soldiers. If mobilized, the Falcon Dynasty, which has developed river transportation, will use this as a center point in an instant. The tens of thousands of troops stationed in the north of Dorok will also flow down the river from this point and easily take the hinterland of Dorok.

"grown ups"

The door of the room was pushed open by a chef pushing a dining cart, six slices of toasted golden bread, a glass of pure water that could illuminate the figure, and other things. There was no other business in the whole car, and it was so simple that it was unbelievable. This is the dinner of Salton, known as the "Governor of Millions\

,""We have been in Airey for an afternoon. Is there any news about each other?" Salton looked a little sickly pale. He raised a piece of bread in his right hand and chewed it calmly and asked.

"Not yet, it's just that someone sent a document just now, saying that it contains what you want!" The minister said with a sleepy look.

"Oh, where are the documents? Why weren't they sent to me immediately?" Salton chewed, and his eyes, which were a bit decadent just now, suddenly became as sharp as needlepoints.

Mrs. Ruolaya took it. "Shi Cong interrupted him with an ugly face and said intermittently.

"Bastard, is this considered a reason?" Salton stood up dissatisfied and said with a stern face. "This is a big matter related to the country. Do you know how important it is? That is a job that may affect tens of thousands of people." How can you hand over an important document of human life to an unknown person? You know, arrogant woman... Since the last incident where the document cover was poisoned, she said that in order to ensure the safety of the Lord, all the documents must be handed over to her first, and can only be handed over to the Lord after being checked to be non-toxic. She He is the medical officer of the royal family, and there is nothing he can do about it! "

"How can this be possible? If everything passes through the hands of this woman, then do I, Governor Su Luo, still have my own secrets?" Salton said angrily.

"Lord Salton, please be careful with your words." At this moment, a cold and somewhat arrogant voice came from behind, and a middle-aged woman wearing a bright red palace dress appeared at the door.

Her appearance made the air in the room drop a bit, and Salton, who had been so angry just now, immediately put on a smiling face.

"Mrs. Ruolaya, I really didn't expect you to come here in person!" Salton responded with an embarrassed look.

"Really? I thought the woman the Governor was talking about was me!" The middle-aged woman threw the documents in her hands on the table and said sternly, "I think I need to remind the Governor of one thing. , I am not that nameless woman, I am a special medical officer of the royal family. In terms of rank, you and I are on the same level. In terms of status, I am from a traditional martial arts family, and you are just an ordinary nobleman.

I have the right to report such arrogant and rude behavior to Your Majesty. The Governor of Suluo did not stay quietly in Suluo, but went to Aire in the north of Dorok to see the scenery. I think the entire Nordic Kingdom It will all shake! Even if your majesty relies on you, I'm afraid you won't be able to preserve your position! "

"Don't, Madam Ruolaya, I just made a slip of the tongue. I apologize to you here!" Salton's face turned pale when he heard it. He stood up quickly and looked at the seal on the document with some concern. It was intact. It seemed that it was just a normal inspection. He quickly put on a flattering smile and said, "This document is indeed very important to me. As for the matter of coming to Aire for recuperation, I have already reported this to His Majesty. There is no need to report it to the higher-ups. It will take at most three days. I will definitely return to Suruo within three days!"

"No, I can only stay in Aire for 2 days!" The middle-aged woman said calmly, "It is my duty as a royal medical officer to be responsible for the patient. Besides, His Majesty has already explained that your life must be guaranteed no matter what. This place is far away from Nod's control. The enemy is lurking in the dark at any time. If I stay outside for a long time, I don't want to see another joke of a certain governor who fainted due to poisoning when flipping through the documents because he neglected the venom on the cover...q!.
