Lorne put down the book he had just borrowed from the Magic Guild, and smiled helplessly: "Didn't you ask me to come back, Father?"
Earl Lehman laughed, "Haha, I miss my son!"
Lorne sighed, and said directly: "I will go to Audrey's coming-of-age ceremony tomorrow. As for the big brother, you don't have to worry about it, father."
"Oh?"
"Audrey has already worshiped me as a teacher, and the royal family will not pursue that matter."
Earl Lehman was taken aback for a moment, he hadn't expected things to develop like this.
The princess actually became his son's apprentice?
If this is really the case, it seems that all kinds of problems have been solved!
"In this case, I don't worry about it anymore. I've asked someone to arrange dinner, and you can eat it later."
Seeing that his father had just returned from the palace, he was exhausted, and he would not even eat any food later.
Lorne wondered, "What happened?"
Earl Lehman frowned and waved his hands, "It's not a big deal, the main thing is the covered bridge area. As you know, the slums are always doing something."
"Recently, it has become more and more outrageous, and the crime rate has soared. In order to curb this situation, the Imperial City Patrol Army has specially imposed a curfew on that side to check for criminals."
"I was thinking, if the curfew is too strict, there will be trouble. I will study the scope of the curfew later. It is best not to affect the lives of ordinary people."
Many poor people have to start work very early and finish work very late.
Too strict curfew time and scope will greatly affect their survival.
Earl Lehman has been paying attention to this matter recently, and feels that this cannot go on.
Regarding government affairs, Lorne shook his head and stopped paying attention.
.....
Backlund covered bridge area.
The night gradually darkened, and there were fewer and fewer residents around.
The curfew has been in place for a while, not only because of the soaring crime rate, but also because the imperial capital has recently had more VIPs from other countries.
In order to prevent the bad side from being seen by outsiders, the curfew became stricter.
But no matter how strict it is, there will still be mistakes and omissions.
"It's so troublesome, it's so late, and we have to come out to work overtime."
"Hey, who made so many foreigners come to the city recently?"
"Cut, I came in a hurry to give gifts. Why should I respect them so much? Aren't the countries behind them all kingdoms, small principalities? How can they compare with our Pu'ang Empire?"
"Stop saying a few words. With a monthly salary of one hundred gold coins, you care about the hearts of princes and ministers."
The two patrolmen squatted in the corner muttering, extremely dissatisfied with today's overtime work.
Yawning, one of them stood up and said:
"I'm going to pee next to you, just watch."
Just as he was unbuttoning his trouser belt and heading towards the corner, his companion grabbed him behind him.
"Look there!"
"what?"
Turning around, the young patrolman froze instantly.
A boy who is only one meter tall, holding a doll, looks at them quietly...
The moonlight shone down, and the boy's shadow stretched very long, as if a monster was hiding in his shadow.
"Hiss, say something, you!"
"Don't tease me!"
The young patrolman squeezed out a smile, "Little friend, it's not right to be walking outside so late. Does your family live in the covered bridge area? Come in quickly, uncle will pretend he didn't see you today..."
Boom!
The boy collapsed to the ground, and countless blood flowed out from his body.
Seeing this scene, the two patrol soldiers were dumbfounded.
Just when they were about to shout, the shadow of the boy jumped out.
"Help!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."
......
Inside the dilapidated church, the priest stretched out his hand and closed the boy's eyes.
He looked at the surrounding residents with pity, "I'm really sorry, when I arrived, Little Husse had already been beaten to death by those two cruel soldiers."
"Oh, how could this be, my son!"
A woman collapsed on the ground, tears streaming out uncontrollably.
Husse trembled and wanted to touch his son's face, but he had no strength in his body, so he could only sit there and comfort his wife.
Residents around looked at this sad scene and shook their heads one after another.
"It's so pitiful. The Husse family only has this last son. How could they be beaten to death!"
"The patrolmen are too hateful, how could they be willing to attack children!"
"Why is there a curfew? My boss fired me just because I couldn't make it every morning. Now it's because of this curfew that Little Husse was beaten to death. Noble gentlemen, don't you want us to live? "
There was a lot of discussion in my ears, and now I am full of anger.
The priest opened the ancient book and chanted the scriptures softly.
"The Mother Earth gazes at the world and embraces all living beings."
"He has mercy on everything, and he comforts the souls of the dead. May all the grief be in the arms of the mother god and become peaceful."
"Our mother in heaven, hallowed be your name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven."
"Because the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours forever. O Mother God!"
The surrounding discussion gradually disappeared, and people began to sing praises to the Mother Earth along with the priest.
And in places invisible to the naked eye, strands of extremely strong power of faith flew out of them.
There was a ferocious smile on the corner of the priest's mouth, and there were more and more fanatics!
I believe that within a few days, the Mother Goddess will fully wake up! .
Chapter 86
This is not the first time Lorne has come to Puang Palace, but it is the first time he has entered the palace.
I remember when I was young, my elder brother took the three of them to play near the palace.
On the bank of the moat, there are still shadows of them fishing back then.
Unlike when no one cared about them back then, when Lorne and Earl Lehman entered the palace, they received the warmest welcome!
"Dragon Holy Sorcerer, Lorne Klander is here!"
"Earl Bauhinia, Lehman Klander is here!"
Earl Lehman was not at all embarrassed by the fact that Lorne's name was first and his own name was last.
On the contrary, I am full of pride from the bottom of my heart!
This is his son. Looking at the entire aristocratic circle of the imperial capital, who can cultivate a sanctuary magister like him!
Not to mention this circle, even looking at the entire Holy Alliance, Lorne is the most dazzling one in a century.
"Is that the Holy Dragon Sorcerer?"
"So young!"
"I thought Frank was already a genius among geniuses, but I never expected that there would be someone more evil than him."
"Lorne Crander, he will definitely be the most shining name in Roland Continent for a hundred years, a hundred years later, or even a thousand years!"
Lorne was unmoved by the comments of many foreign envoys.
When he entered the palace hall, Audrey, who was dressed up, walked towards him.
"Princess Audrey has appeared!"
"Isn't it the hour yet, why did you come out first?"
"Why is she going to the Holy Dragon Sorcerer?"
"Why is she saluting?"
Audrey stood in front of Lorne and bowed gracefully.
"Meet the teacher!"
"Um"
Lorne looked at her and said with a smile, "You today are the most dazzling pearl in Puang!"
Audrey covered her mouth and smiled lightly. Did she know that her teacher wouldn't say such nice things when she was getting along with her?
It's okay if he didn't make fun of himself.
"Teacher, your seat has been arranged!"
"Well, take me there!"
Under the gaze of countless people, Audrey took Lorne's hand and walked straight up the steps.
As soon as this move came out, everyone was stunned.
Until Lorne sat down in the seat closest to the throne, facing him was Attis, the Cardinal Archbishop of the Holy See of Light in the imperial capital!
What does it mean?
No matter how talented Lorne is, he won't be on an equal footing with the Holy See of Light represented by Attis!
Could it be that?
Through some traditions on the mainland, everyone vaguely guessed the truth of the matter.
However, the arrival of Emperor Pu'ang made them all restrain their minds and bow down to worship.
"It's her honor that you all come here to congratulate Audrey in person, and it's also a sign that I, Pu'ang, are stronger. My king is here, thank you all in advance."
The one who spoke was obviously Emperor Pu'ang.
Along with him, Cattleya, the holy magician of the starry sky, and a strange middle-aged man appeared.
When these two people appeared, the faces of those not weak foreign envoys changed slightly.
Two sacred magicians!
If we add the Dragon Sacred Magician who can sit on the left side of the Great Emperor, wouldn't it mean that the royal family now has three powerful saints?
And it's definitely not all the power that the Pu'ang royal family has.
But just revealing the tip of the iceberg is enough to make those countries with only one sanctuary powerhouse breathless.
Looking at the discoveries of the people below, Lorne clearly understood a truth.
The emperor specially held such a grand coming-of-age ceremony for Audrey, not so much as love, but as a way to show the power of the royal family.
Even Cattleya and Calista Malvo's hidden powers of the royal family were openly exposed.
While Lorne was thinking, Emperor Pu'ang's eyes fell on him.
"Audrey didn't lick the trouble for Mister, did she?"
