my age of magic

Chapter 1464 14. Days in Haiyinsi

"Why did you stop again? Let's go."

Count Gorgas' dull voice came to my ears again.

Immediately afterwards, Morad's voice became even more flustered, and he stumbled a little when he spoke.

"...that... Uncle Gorgas, I seem to have met Princess Yingli, but I'm not sure." Morad whispered to Earl Gorgas.

The voice of Earl Gaugas no longer seemed so low, and he asked Morad with some surprise: "What, you said you have seen Princess Yingli? Today? Then tell me that Princess Yingli you have seen is beautiful. ?"

Morad's voice came again, but it was lower: "She is not very beautiful, but the two companions around her are very beautiful."

"In this way, the one you saw may really be Her Royal Highness." Earl Gorgas continued: "Tell me where you saw Princess Yingli? I just learned that Princess Yingli passed the magic teleportation array in the morning. Those who came to Haiyinsi City, according to the news from the Prince's Mansion, Her Royal Highness the Princess and Marquis Jijia are visiting Haiyinsi City at this time!"

"Uncle Gorgas, Her Royal Highness is not visiting Haines City right now!" Morad whispered tremblingly.

"Huh? Do you know the whereabouts of Her Royal Highness? Why are you sweating so much?" Earl Gorgas also realized that Morad was abnormal at this time, and asked suspiciously.

The conversation between the two people paused for a while before Morad said: "Uncle Gorgas, the name of the witness who signed the testimony scroll just now seems to be Yingli Angie, so the one who just had a conflict with us Among the strangers...ah! Why did you hit me?"

An extremely loud slap came into the office hall of the guard camp, and many people in the hall looked out the door in confusion.

"When you cause trouble, can you check the identity of the other party first?" Earl Gorgas said a little angrily, his voice hoarse and dry.

"I didn't know that if I went out for a casual stroll, I would also meet the princess of the Angibald royal family..." Morad was almost dumbfounded by the slap of Earl Gorgas, and complained almost crying .

"Come back with me! Come with me to apologize to Princess Yingli!" Earl Gorgas didn't give Morad a chance to choose.

"Uncle Gaugas, I..." Morad hesitated for a moment before saying.

"For the sake of the Statue of Liberty, shut up!" Gorgas yelled in a low voice.

Afterwards, Earl Gaugas and his party appeared again at the door of the office hall.

Morad, who was following Earl Gorgas, covered his face in embarrassment, and walked in from the outside.

……

The boy was locked in an iron cage next to the north wall of the guard camp office hall. The boy was frightened by the knights in the guard camp. He curled up in the innermost corner of the cage trembling, his eyes seemed like It was a little empty, and Sora stayed by the boy's side to comfort him, but it didn't seem to have any effect.

The guards who manage the prisoners in the iron cage looked at this side impatiently, probably because they were afraid of our status as magicians, so they didn't come over to drive Kong Zhen away.

Yingli, Helena, and Becky sat on the bench in the office hall of the guard camp sullenly. Their five senses were not as sharp as mine, and naturally they did not understand the series of conversations between Earl Gorgas and Morad.

On the pier at the Gate of Icons Square, Ying Li wanted to stand up and show his identity at the beginning. At that time, I considered that there were a large number of onlookers on the pier. The rumors spread, and eventually the reputation of the Angibald royal family will be affected.

But in the end, I wanted to show my status as Marquis to settle the dispute. Instead, Ying Li was offended by the two guard knights and insisted on going to the guard camp. The various systems in the office hall were frustratingly tossing, and it was only at the end that I realized that even if I wanted to find someone to reason with, after being pushed away by various methods, the only thing I could do was to sit on the bench and wait foolishly.

Until the Earl of Gaugas broke in aggressively, rushed into the recording room, and after reprimanding the guard knight, he couldn't help but take Morad away, Yingli felt an indescribable feeling about it. Disappointed, she became a little frustrated, sitting on the bench in the office hall, curling her feet up, stepping on the crossbar of the chair, resting her chin on her hands, resting her elbows on her knees, pursing her lips slightly, and sitting there in silence.

Kongzhen saw that the atmosphere on our side had become dull, and began to worry about the safety of Yingli and me. She walked over from the iron cage, squatted in front of Oh, and said to Yingli and me: "Jijia, you You don’t need to stay with us here. The Earl Gaugas just now is very powerful in Haines City. He is a member of the House of Representatives in Haines City. Otherwise, you should leave here first. If possible, it is best Leave Haiyinsi for a while."

I didn't speak, because at this time Earl Gorgas had led Morad over.

Sora happened to see Gorgas' gloomy face, and she gave me a worried look.

At this time, Earl Gorgas's sharp eyes, like a falcon, glanced in this direction. When he saw Ying Li, his movements froze slightly, and then he calmed down, and his eyes softened.

Like all noble gentlemen, he stopped not far away, first tidied up the tuxedo he was wearing, buttoned the collar and cuffs again, smoothed out the wrinkles on the dress, and put his feet together Let the body stand upright and do everything meticulously before walking over. The young nobleman Morad and his friends followed behind him tremblingly, and then the entourage of Earl Gorgas.

Earl Gaugas led a group of people to Ying Li, put one hand on his chest, and bowed to Ying Li to salute, and the people behind also bowed and bowed together.

Ying Li raised his head to look at the Earl, sighed, but he could only get off the bench, stood in front of Earl Gorgas, pulled the hem of his skirt with both hands, and slightly bowed his knees in return.

"His Royal Highness..." Earl Gorgas raised his head and said calmly.The low and gloomy voice became extraordinarily soft at this moment.

Earl Gorgas went back and forth, which attracted the attention of many people in the office hall of the guard camp.

I stood up and interrupted Earl Gaugas, and whispered to him: "Let's go inside and talk."

It seems that Earl Gorgas also thought of this, and quickly turned to the side. I took Ying Li and walked into the room where the notes were taken before. This room is not too big. Seeing Earl Gorgas go back and forth, the clerk looked at the door in surprise, and when he saw Yingli and me walking in, he stopped him and said, "Our records haven't been sorted yet, please two Your Excellency the Magician is waiting outside."

Their tone was neither humble nor overbearing, and they looked businesslike, without even raising their eyelids.

"This matter is that Morad misunderstood the civilian child. He is not a thief. We should not define such a child who ran to the ship to satisfy his curiosity. We are here to withdraw this accusation... ..." At this moment, Earl Gaugas glanced at Yingli and me, seeing that we were not planning to speak, he could only cough dryly and continued: "As a nobleman, Morad abused his privileges and should be severely punished... Yes, Must be severely punished!"

"..."

Hearing what Earl Gorgas said, the clerks of the two guards couldn't help but stop writing and look up, hoping to see any hints from Earl Gorgas' face, but unfortunately there was none.

"What is the highest punishment imposed by imperial law for this kind of thing? Clerk." Earl Gorgas raised his voice and asked.

I don't think that as a member of the House of Representatives, there is anything ignorant of the laws of the Green Empire, obviously he just doesn't want to talk about it.

The clerk standing at the desk in the interrogation room immediately stood up and replied: "According to the laws of the Grimm Empire, once a noble's slander against civilians is verified, he needs to do volunteer work in the civilian area for at least five days, or give certain compensation to the civilians." Financial compensation."

Earl Gorgas glanced at the young nobleman Morad, who seemed to have suddenly realized, and quickly said: "I choose economic compensation, and please refer to the highest compensation standard of the Green Empire."

"Your Highness, do you see...?" Earl Gorgas asked Yingli.

Ying Li sighed softly, turned his head to look at the shivering boy in the cage in the office hall, and said only: "The compensation is fine, let them go to the civilian area to experience the daily life of the civilians. It is possible."

Count Gaugas was about to answer.

Ying Li went on to say: "I will personally send someone to stare at them, at least let them realize their mistakes, instead of accepting this punishment because I am standing here now."

Earl Gorgas bit the bullet and said, "Follow your will, Your Highness."

Yingli said to me with a bit of dismay: "Jijia, let's go! If we stay here, there will be no better results..."

"Oh, okay!" I agreed, and then asked the two clerks in the room: "Mr. clerk, can we take that child away now?"

The two clerks finally began to understand, and said to me quickly: "Uh, of course, Mr. Magician."

So, Ying Li and I led Kong Zhen and the boy named Angelo out of the office hall of the guard camp, rented a kayak at the entrance of the guard camp, and asked Kong Zhen about her current address. Then let the boatman drive the kayak there.

……

On the kayak, I explained my current situation to Sora. Sora was not too surprised that I was currently a magic student at the Royal Academy of Magic in the Imperial Capital, but acted as it should. Now that she is the princess of the Angibald royal family, Sora is not so calm.

Sora looked at Yingli who was sitting across from him in disbelief, opened his eyes wide and asked me: "So you are married to Her Royal Highness Princess Yingli of the Angibald royal family of the Green Empire?"

I touched my nose with my hand, then nodded and said, "That's probably the case. In fact, I married two brides at that wedding, and the other one was Qige."

"You still married Qige? What about Katerina?" Hearing Qige's news, Kongzhen's eyes became exceptionally bright. Even after suffering such adversity and setbacks, hearing Qige's news was still somewhat Excited, she then asked about Katerina.

"This is a bit of a long story... Anyway, Katerina has been by my side these days." I said to Sora.

The boy named Angelo sat on the boat and looked at Yingli and me curiously. Yingli just sat quietly on the boat and didn't participate in the conversation between me and Kongzhen.

I asked Sora, "How are you doing in Haiyinsi?"

Hearing me ask her this, Sora's expression became a little embarrassed, and he said, "Me? I followed Singer and Fred to Haiyinsi, and then everyone decided to settle here temporarily, Fred I found a job in a leather workshop here, and Singer could also find some tailoring jobs in several tailor shops. I also worked as a helper in the tailor shop with Sister Singer. Well done."

A look of reminiscence appeared on Kong Zhen's face.

I smiled and said to Sora: "I thought you would marry Uncle Fred with Sister Singer."

When Kongzhen heard me say this, he didn't make any reservations, just smiled bleakly: "Hehe, I actually thought about it at the beginning. During that time, our life here in Haiyinsi City was really good, but Fred later Bringing the family from Sloit City to Haines City, life has become a mess. Every day, they will quarrel over some trivial matters. I think his family is simply terrible. "

Hearing what she said, I couldn't help but worry a little about Sister Singer's current situation.

Sora sighed, and said: "I feel that looking for someone to live for the rest of my life, I absolutely can't be like Singer, who is small for others, especially this kind of craftsman family of the common class, so I married a fur trader. Her wife died, leaving him only Angelo, and I remember the first time I saw Angelo, he was only so big."

Saying that, Sora made a gesture to the boy.

Then he said: "During that period, my life was pretty good. Later, he said that he was going to Qiyan City to purchase a batch of monitor lizard leather, so he took some employees from the business and hired an adventure group to go with him. Strange Rock City, took a boat from Haiyinsi Port to Qiyan Harbor, and never came back."

"And what about the firm?" I asked.

I didn't expect her husband to encounter misfortune, but since he is a businessman, he should have some family property, so I asked.

Kongzhen [-] replied: "When he left, he borrowed a sum of money. The creditors and the family members of the employees who went out with him all came to me. At that time, I had no choice but to sell the business. , His property was also sold, and some money was collected to plug the big hole, and I moved with Angelo."

Sora and I chatted until the kayak arrived at the door of her house. This is the civilian area of ​​Haines City. The surrounding buildings look a bit old. Looking at the mottled walls and the clotheslines hanging on the surrounding roofs Rows of dried salted fish, and a group of naked children running past the stone steps, I realized that I had arrived at Kongzhen's house.

I stood up from the kayak and said to Sora: "Won't you invite me to go home?"
