Belle is the saint of the goddess of the sea. She knows this kind of mood very well. If someone blasphemes the glory of the goddess of the sea, she will definitely stand up. ※%※%,
Gray said "Oh", and even Belle became serious, and she had to sit honestly.
"Instructor, do you mean that when we arrive at the Ice City, the Principality of Lyle sent an envoy to receive us?" Rick did not expect that the operation of the Wings of the Mingx was actually supported by the Principality.
Elena's eyes looked at Rick were obviously much better than those who looked at Jim and Xin, second only to Grie.
She nodded and said with a facial expression: "Well, a middle-aged man named Martin, who is the deputy of the Ice City local official, is now disguised as a small civil servant, responsible for secretly receiving us and serving as a guide to provide the latest information."
It is best if someone guides it, otherwise we will go aimlessly to find the handle of the Church of Destiny... Seeing that the Principality of Lyle sent a local to help investigate, Rick suddenly felt that the burden had been reduced a lot.
"What should we do? When we arrive at Ice City, the one named Martin will tell us." Elena glanced out of the car and asked lightly: "Jim, how long will it take to get to Ice City?"
Because it was a secret operation, Jim did not ride his beloved horse and sat outside the carriage as a coachman. After all, purebred snow horses can be sold at a good price. In order not to attract attention, everyone sat in a very ordinary carriage and changed into civilian clothes, and everything was mainly low-key.
Jim lifted the curtain and smiled and said, "It's here."
About half an hour later, a city hiding in the forest jumped into everyone's eyes. Although it was still late autumn, due to the relatively high altitude, snow seeds had fallen in the sky at this time, and the surrounding tree canopy was covered with a thin layer of white film. You could also vaguely see a trace of pure white lines on the top of the city wall. When you lift the curtain, a cool breeze blew towards you.
After simple procedures, the carriage passed through the gate of the Ice City safely and drove towards the center of the city.
"Hey, it doesn't seem as depressing as I imagined." Grey looked out the window curiously. The crowd busy doing business and shopping presented a harmonious picture.
"I thought I would be besieged by countless crazy believers in strange costumes as soon as I entered the city." Gray tilted his mouth, and she felt that Bingcheng's calm appearance was different from what he described on the road.
"If the chaos is so messy, the Church of Light will have sent arbitrators to destroy them long ago." Xin said angrily.
Gray snorted disdainfully and ignored the boy in white.
The carriage was parked in front of an ordinary hotel that was not a luxury, and a man came over after everyone got off the car.
"I'm going to get off Martin, is it Jim?" the man bent over politely. He performed the noble ceremony of the Cato Empire and said with a smile.
Is this guy Martin? This thought suddenly flashed through everyone's mind.
The information tells that Martin is a middle-aged man of five big and three chunky, but the man who actually appeared in front of him was very different.
Martin was very young, about the same age as Rick. He raised his head and his deep blue eyes attracted everyone's attention. His skin was as fair as a girl, not rough at all, and his figure was slightly weak. It seemed to be blown down by the wind.
The exquisite silver-white long hair fell on his shoulders, coupled with his charming smile, he looked like a beautiful handsome man.
"Is the intelligence... wrong?" Rick turned around, leaned into Elena's ear and asked softly.
At such a close distance, Elena seemed to have not heard it at all, just looking at Martin thoughtfully.
Seeing everyone standing there and staring at him coldly, Martin smiled awkwardly and said quickly: "Come with me, I have already booked a room for you."
"Wait," Jim suddenly grabbed Martin's shoulder and pushed him into the carriage.
Martin was like a nobleman who was juicy. He was easily pushed into the car by Jim. He looked at the long-haired man with a silver headdress in horror and stuttered, "Hey, what are you...what are you doing?"
Rick and Xin also followed in, put down the curtains in the car and blocked the outside world's sight, and the three of them stared at Martin with malicious intentions.
"You have to prove your identity first, otherwise..." Jim said with threats, but the smile on his face was still moving.
Xin sneered and put Zidian on Martin's neck.
Rick thought for a while, and pulled out a strong attack, and the sharp blade was placed on his other neck.
I have to say that the three of them cooperated well. Martin, who was intimidated, looked like he was about to cry and said innocently: "It's a misunderstanding!!"
"It's Martin, right?" the silver-haired man raised his hands and made a surrender. He didn't dare to move his head, because he had a storm and purple lightning on his neck. "The information was made in a hurry. Before the description of himself was corrected, he was sent to the Cato Empire overnight. I originally wanted to explain it when I met, but you..."
Rick came to his senses. The first sentence Martin said to introduce himself when he met. Before he could say the second sentence, Jim was rudely locked into the car.
Xin also realized this problem. He took back Zidian with some embarrassment, scratched his head and said, "It turned out to be a misunderstanding. Sorry, I'm too impulsive."
However, Rick did not mean to withdraw his sword and return it to the sheath. "This matter is related to the major affairs of the Lyre Empire. How could he be so careless?"
Jim nodded in agreement. If their receptionist was dropped, the mission would definitely be led by the nose.
"I am the deputy of the local official in the Ice City. I will take you to meet the master and let him prove my identity. How about it?" Martin stared into Rick's eyes with great determination, allowing the sharp sword blade to lean against his shoulder. He said without changing his face.
This is not the look of a liar... Martin's deep pupils were flashing with bright light. Rick silently inserted the attack into the ring crack and said lightly: "I can only trust you for the time being, but you have to go with us immediately to the Ice City local officials' cunning house. If you play any tricks..."
"I understand." Martin breathed a sigh of relief as if he was reborn. He looked at the vicious three people and sighed: "Oh, I knew it would be like this..."
Jim stared at Martin in silence and thought to himself: "Although this guy looks unreliable, if he is really Martin, there were conflicts when he first met, and the subsequent actions may deliberately make it difficult for us..."
It is nothing wrong to be cautious, but you should not be too suspicious when you get along with others. Martin met with Wings of Möx and had two magical swords on his neck. If anyone had been, he would be unhappy.
"In the next Jim, the captain of Münx Wings. Mr. Martin, I hope you understand our efforts. There are no mistakes allowed in this mission. So, please take us to the local official's scheming." Jim smiled and said kindly.
"It's okay." Martin perhaps thought of something like this, so he waved his hand indifferently and laughed: "This is a mistake we made when passing information. It's normal for you to suspect it."
Jim nodded, lifted the curtain, and the four of them got off the carriage together.
Outside the carriage, Belle and Grey were waiting nervously for everyone, and they immediately breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Martin coming out intact.
"Brother Jim, don't scare others." Martin is like an ice magician of the Ice and Snow Empire. Although he is tall and upright, he has few taels of flesh all over his body, and his skin is slightly sickly white. He looks weak and can't help but feel that Gray is worried that as long as Jim uses a little brute force, Martin's bones will fall apart.
"It made everyone laugh. It was just a misunderstanding just now." Martin performed the etiquette of Kato, wearing the noble white silk gloves, showing the gentlemanly style.
"I have prepared a room for everyone. If you have luggage, there will be servants coming to carry it later. If you are traveling a long distance, the ladies must be tired. It is better to go back to the room to rest first. These three young men and I have some serious things to do." Martin's words calmed down the hearts of Gree and Belle. His gentle smile made people feel convinced.
"Hey, Martin, you're really thoughtful." Martin's very considerate suggestion, and immediately got Grey's favor. The girl said with a smile.
"Is that true?" Martin walked forward with fear and fear, half-kneeled in front of Grey, gently held the girl's hand in white gloves, lowered his head and kissed the back of her hand gently, and said softly: "It is a great honor to be recognized by the lady."
Grey's face turned red. It was the first time she was called a lady and not treated as a girl. The girl suddenly burst into laughter and suddenly felt that Martin was an extremely gentle and beautiful man.
"Hey, Kyle, don't you stop that guy? Grie's heart is going to be captured by him." Xin looked at Martin angrily and whispered in Rick's ear.
Rick laughed and replied, "It's not me in a hurry, it's you?"
After being told by someone, Xin blushed, snorted, and handed her hands on her chest, saying disdainfully: "I'm not interested in this maldeveloped little girl."
"Who do you think is dysplasia??" Hearing the sarcasm of the boy in white, Ge Rui jumped up in anger, pointed at Xin's nose, and said angrily to the black cat sleeping in his arms: "Black hair, bite him."
"Meow." The black cat turned over in Gray's arms lazily, taking the girl's words as wind in his ears.
"How can you do this? I am your master." Gray looked at the black cat pitifully, and she was very unwilling to accept her reaction to her demon pet.
Xin smiled proudly and said a few more words, and the two of them immediately quarreled.
Martin smiled slightly, he stood up and glanced at the silent Elena.
Elena stayed absent-mindedly, as if she felt Martin's gaze. She suddenly turned her head and glared at the silver-haired man coldly.
Martin seemed to be shocked, and his whole body shook. He quickly laughed at Elena twice and immediately looked at him.
Under the guidance of Martin, Elena, Belle and Grey settled in the hotel, and then took Rick and the other two to the local official temple in Ice City.
Before gaining trust, Martin did not mention the topic of the Church of Destiny to avoid being misled. So the silver-haired man just talked about some unnutritional topics along the way, such as the customs and customs of the Principality of Lyle, historical stories, etc.
Martin's words, Rick, Jim and Xin didn't take them seriously. This was just a social means, not to let the atmosphere be too stiff.
The ice city gives Rick the feeling that it is equivalent to the medium-sized city of the Cato Empire, such as Bran City. People of all skin colors and sizes can be seen everywhere on the streets. Although the scenery here is not unique enough, it is one of the most suitable places for humans to live in the continent. Because winter is warm and summer is cool, many people are willing to move here. Therefore, there are the people of the lion empire exposed to the sun all year round, dark and burly. In order to avoid the vicious sunshine all year round, they deliberately traveled half of the continent and finally stayed in the ice city. The people of the ice and snow empire who have not received sunshine for many years and have pale skin and weak figure will also choose to live here for winter.
The Kato Empire occupied the most fertile land on the continent, and the climate was more suitable for living than the other two empires. Therefore, there were not many travelers in the Kato Empire, and Rick and the others were not much different from the native residents of the Ice City in terms of appearance, which made it easier for them to move.
"Here." Martin led Rick and the other two to the south of the Ice City. A small castle was built on a small hill beside the city wall. Rick tilted his mouth and thought: "A castle that can only be built in medium-sized cities is actually my manor in Wenton Town..."
Walking up the long stone steps, the gate of the castle appeared in front of everyone. The guards guarding the gate glanced at Martin, and without asking a word, Rick and the others went in.
In the lobby inside the castle, Martin found the local local officials and bowed and said, "Mr. Bob, these three are elites of the Wings of the Monks. They have arrived at the Ice City safely. They have secretly sent people to guard the hotel around the hotel. Whenever something strange happens, they will act to ensure that the messengers from the Kato Empire will not be injured."
"Good job, Martin." Bob is a slightly fat middle-aged man who started to bald before he was old. He walked up and said kindly to Rick and the others: "I'm so sorry, there were some problems with the description of Martin in the information. I thought it was no big deal, but I didn't expect that the three of them still found this detail."
"Sir, don't apologize," Jim walked forward with a smile on his face and shook hands with Bob. "Lower Jim, the captain of Mingx Wings, I hope Lord Bob can provide us with useful information."
"Oh, you're Jim, I know your identity." Bob said on the surface that he knew Jim was the captain, but in fact only the two and Rick knew it.
"You sir, don't have to worry about it." Jim meant that Bob should not look at himself as the prince of the Kato Empire. After all, there will inevitably be danger here. If Bob always aims to make his safety the primary goal, then he may have missed the matter.
Bob nodded with understanding, pondered for a while, and said, "There are so many people here that it is not convenient to talk. Your actions must be low-key, and try not to be found out that you have contact with me. Martin will serve as a messenger between us, and I will let him inform you if you have any questions. This way, you go back to the hotel first to settle down, and Martin will live there too."
"Disturbate." Jim gave the noble ceremony, nodded to Rick and Xin, and left the hall under the guidance of Martin.
As soon as everyone left, Bob's pupils were dissipated and he became unconscious. He sat mechanically at the table, staring at the documents on the table in a daze, looking like he was dealing with business. In fact, it had been many days since he kept this stiff movement. (To be continued...)
