Chapter 3 Mephitos

Memphitos, the name of a giant sea beast, it is said that this sea beast has the head of a wild elephant, the body of a giant dragon, and has two wings on its back. Legend has it that no one has ever seen it, and now a city named after Memphis has appeared in front of Sean.

Memphis was only upgraded to a city by the Kingdom of Sutier two years ago.

With the flag of the Montell family opening the way, Sean's sailboat avoided the long wait and went directly to port. After actually walking into the city of Memphis, Sean truly felt the vitality of the city, like a burning flame, emitting scorching light and heat.

Looking through the glass carriage windows, looking at the crowds and goods coming and going on the main street of Memphis, Sean's handsome face showed a contemplative color. Obviously, Memphis, as a pioneering city, It is extremely abnormal that this scene can be formed in just a few years, and the intervention of major forces is indispensable behind the scenes.

"The magic tide is about to rise. It seems that the major forces in Sutiert have reached a certain consensus, at least in the development of the new continent."

As the first-in-line heir to the Montere family, Sean clearly understands that it is not easy to do this. As an old-fashioned kingdom, although the land area of ​​Sutiert is not very large, the industry and commerce are very developed. All kinds of forces are intertwined. On the bright side, there are the royal family, the major nobles, and the Church of God, while in the dark, there are various organizations and cults.

With so many forces, contradictions are inevitable. After all, the cake is so big. The most obvious of these are the contradictions between kingship and theocracy, the contradiction between the royal family and the great aristocracy, the contradiction between the real power fief and the emerging business aristocracy, the contradiction between the orthodox religion and the cult. and many more.

Under such circumstances, the major forces were able to reach a certain consensus, which showed that they attached great importance to the New World or the Magic Tide.

Thinking of these Sean inexplicably felt a little heavy, a feeling that he was about to be submerged by the rolling waves.

At this moment, Sean had a deeper understanding of what the father of this body, the contemporary head of the Montell family, Earl Histon Montell, had said before he left.

You must know that the Montell family sent his first heir to the New World not for him to develop a pioneering land, or that this is not his first goal, to use the stronger magic and more extraordinary power of the New World Resources to improve his own strength as soon as possible is the fundamental.

"Delegation, extraordinary, strength."

Various thoughts continued to emerge in his mind, and with the sound of hooves, Sean arrived at a small manor of the Montell family in the Eastern District of Mephitos, which is the noble district.

Relatively speaking, Xiao En is still very satisfied with this manor with a different continental style, Sean.

After saying goodbye to Sir Link and agreeing to go to the black market together, Sean can finally relax his tired body.

Although the body of a first-order wizard is much stronger than that of ordinary people, it is limited after all. Sean's life at sea for more than four months is really overwhelming.

After taking a comfortable bath under the service of the maid, Sean slept until dawn.

The next day, Sean, who was in high spirits, rarely put on complicated aristocratic clothes, and it took him about half an hour, but it was necessary, after all, he was going to visit Mephitos. The titular master of the city.

Arriving at the city hall in a gorgeous carriage, Sean met the current mayor of Mephitos, Asim Bansain, very smoothly because he handed the invitation in advance.

Of course, the smoothness is only on the surface. At least there are two waves of censorship eyes that Sean feels, but it is normal to think about it carefully. After all, as the nominal controller of Memphis, Asim Bansain's safety is very important.

Under the guidance of the secretary, Sean walked into the office and saw the goal of the trip.

Looking at this slender, even a bit thin, silver-haired man with golden eyes, a quill in hand, and a man with a strong scholarly atmosphere, Sean couldn't help recalling in front of him. Information collected by the Montell family.

Asim Bansain, 43 years old, a sideline of the royal family of Sutiert, an earl of the court, a former minister of the interior, a third-order orthodox knight, who practiced the secret legend of the "Iron-Blooded Battle Flag" in the royal family's possession. Powerful, it is estimated that it has the ability to be comparable to that of ordinary fourth-order potion professionals.

To be honest, Asim's real image is very different from what Sean imagined based on the data. Sean thinks that under the current circumstances, he will cultivate the brutal "Iron Banner" to the third rank. To the extent that Asim is not a big man with a face full of flesh, but also a knight with strong limbs and a cold temperament, he did not expect to be a scholar with a gentle temperament.

"What? Does Sir Sean have any doubts?"

I don't know when Asim put down the quill in his hand and looked up at Sean, the broken golden pupils, the symbol of the royal family, waved with a gentle smile.

Hearing this, Sean was a little distracted, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He touched his chest with his right hand, bowed slightly and said:

"Salute to you Count Asim."

Under normal circumstances, Sean should call Asim the Earl of Banzain, but Banzain is the royal family, and only the king can represent Banzain in Sutier, so he can only be called the Earl of Asim.

"I don't have any doubts. I was just a little distracted just now. After all, your current image is quite different from what I imagined before."

"Oh, well, it looks like I've let Sir Sean down."

With a gentle tone, looking at Sean who was outspoken and admitted that he was distracted, the smile in Asim's eyes deepened, and he even teased Sean a little.

Without waiting for Sean to answer, Asim said:

"Sir Sean, please sit down and talk."

Saying that, Asim came out from behind the desk.

Hearing this, Sean didn't refuse, and went straight to the sofa beside him and sat down.

He took out a glass of wine from the wine rack, opened the bottle neatly, and Asim poured a glass for Sean and himself.

"Try it, the blue flame, a specialty of Mephitos, is not as good as the beauty under the moon of the Montell family, but it has a different flavor."

Sean took it and took a sip. The mouth was cold and the taste was slightly astringent. After that, a fiery feeling rose from the abdomen. It is indeed a rather distinctive wine.

In the next hour, Sean and Asim had a cordial conversation about wine, the royal family and the glory of the Montere family.

Walking out of the city hall, getting into the gorgeous carriage, the smile that had been hanging on the corner of Sean's mouth suddenly disappeared. Although nothing was said in the hour-long chat, Asim's attitude had already made it clear. He was welcoming, at least for now.

After confirming Asim's attitude, Sean breathed a sigh of relief even though he had expected it. Next, as long as he dealt with trivial matters, he would be able to open up the green fields of the Montell family in the New World.
