Chapter 1011 The vortex of diffusion
Under the new administrative system, the news that the king was about to be crowned soon spread from west to north, and caused an uproar everywhere.
Unlike the past when pursuing merchants and boatmen conveying messages, town halls in various places posted announcements in the most prominent locations in the town and arranged for commentators to explain, as if they were intended to let the common people understand the royal decisions. With the official attitude, the popularity of this matter swept the streets and alleys of the city in just a few days, and relevant discussions can be heard everywhere, as if even the cold of winter has faded away.
The "underground trolley" of the old royal capital is no exception. After all, the tavern is always a gathering place for popular news. Sitting by the stove and drinking a glass of ale wine, chatting about rumors that came from somewhere, is one of the few ways of entertainment for civilians.
As the new owner of the trumpeter, Hei Hammer has been laughing hard in recent days. After the beginning of winter, the business of the tavern has become much colder. After the news of his ascension to the throne came, the place has returned to its former liveliness. As his income is rising, his mood has also risen.
It is expected that this discussion will continue until His Majesty officially completes his crown and the dust settles.
Deciding to ascend the throne in the Evil Moon was an extremely wise decision. If he could see His Majesty himself, he would definitely bend down without hesitation and kiss His Majesty's boots piously.
There is nothing more lovely in this world than a golden dragon.
Of course, as their former rats, the possibility of being allowed to approach Roland Wimbledon is very slim, and it would be nice to see Lord Tassa on his own.
Black Hammer is somewhat self-aware of this.
You should know that Tassa is not the down-and-out patrol captain in the past, or the nameless guard of the fourth prince. Since the defeat of the battle for the king, he has already vaguely shown that he is the first person in the old king capital. His owner, the tavern who used to not even give a mouse a straight eye, was sent to a remote place by a word. In the subsequent black street cleaning operation, they were able to remove the skeleton fingers because they got Tassa's tips, turned into a formal gangster, and took over the underground trolley tavern.
Black Hammer dared not forget this kind of grace of promotion.
He planned to bring a silver ring, a clay pot, and a little finger before the other party left the old capital to thank him. Although he would spend an extra golden dragon, as long as he maintained this relationship, he would make a profit sooner or later.
Apart from that, he did not forget what he should have done.
That is to collect information for the Lord Tassa. Whether it is the boastful boastfulness of the vendors or the experiences of travelers on the road, as long as there is content that the adults are interested in, he must record it and report it to the connector.
Now, obviously the most important thing to pay attention to is those potential rebels.
For example, the guests at Table 6
"Don't you think this fact is too coincidental?" cried a businessman with a flushed face. "It would be fine to ascend the throne in such a hurry. As soon as His Majesty announced that he would marry a witch who could not give birth, he happened to get the news that the prince's widow still existed and gave birth to a son. It's unreasonable no matter how you look at it!"
This was echoed by some people, "I heard that His Highness Goron is not a woman at all. Some people even say that he had an affair with a young knight, why did a fiancé suddenly appear?"
"real?"
"You are not from the capital, so you are naturally not sure. Compared to the second and fourth princes, he rarely attends banquets, so this is not wrong."
"And think about it," said the businessman again, "Your Majesty only said that he would recall the two of them to Wudong City, but he did not clearly identify the identity of the child. Isn't this intentional dispute leaving everyone's attention on inheritance qualifications? Which family did the woman come from? Does the son born to have the blood of the Wimbledon family? These have been involved for several years, but no one pays attention to the real fatal matter."
"What the hell are you... trying to say?"
"What is a real fatal thing?"
"That's the witch!" He poured himself a big sip of wine. "They secretly controlled His Majesty and created the so-called widow and children in order to distract us and thus realize the trick of controlling the grey castle!"
The audience was in an uproar, "Can the witch create people?"
"I tell you that there is nothing they can't make!" The merchant said angrily, "All stones floating on the water are fine, let alone one person? It is precisely because these monsters are rampant that no one comes to rent my boat now! Of course, it is probably impossible for people who want to create a flawless person now, so it takes time for the witches. When they are completely successful, the child will naturally not need it!"
"Hahahaha... I think you are crazy. Do you think that there is only His Majesty in the palace and there is only a stone of divine punishment beside him?" Everyone laughed and the tavern was filled with a happy atmosphere.
"You laugh even if you hiccup. The miners of Silver Light City have been replaced by things made by witches. The inland rivers are all stone ships from Winter City. When it's your turn, I see if you can still laugh!" The merchant said with his tongue.
Well, although the information is not valuable, it is a rebellion if it is against you... Black Hammer lifted up the carbon pen, wrote down the other party's characteristics on a piece of paper, and the words "slandering the royal family and having malicious intentions towards the witches", and stuffed them into an inconspicuous slit behind the wine cabinet.
If nothing unexpected happens, the police department will react soon, and when the merchant goes out, he will probably be caught and be arrested. As for whether the other party has committed a rebellion, it is the interrogator's task, and it has nothing to do with him.
...
At the same time, the Earl's Mansion in the inner city.
"How is this dress?" Yoko put a high-neck dress made of good fabric on his chest and compared it. "Will it look too strong?"
The answerer was the businesswoman he met in the King of Dawn, Denise Payton. She leaned lazily against the head of the bed, pulled half of the quilt up, covering her chest, "I haven't seen you so active when I was dating me. Now I haven't even received the invitation letter. I'm anxious to set off when I heard the news?"
"His Majesty Roland and I are old friends for more than ten years. What invitations do you need to have in such a friendship? They are all things for outsiders to see." Yoko shook his clothes, "You haven't answered my question yet. What do you think of this one?"
"To be honest, you're wearing anything," Denise yawned. "It's not what attracts me anyway. But what I do if you want to go to Wudong, what should I do?"
"Uh," he hesitated, "If you want to have fun, I might be able to introduce you some good ones..."
"Not interested," Denise interrupted directly, "I prefer the target I choose. Besides, I came to you from Glow City thousands of miles away, and this is your way of hospitality?"
Knowing that he was in the wrong, Yoko had to sigh and said, "What do you want?"
The businesswoman raised his lips and said, "Take me to Wudong. I have long wanted to see what the king who has turned the morning light upside down is like."
"this……"
"Since you are an old friend of more than ten years, your Majesty will definitely invite you to his dinner?" Denise lifted the quilt, turned over and got out of bed, and walked to Yoko step by step. "At that time, you just need to bring me with you in the form of a partner. When I was in Glow City, I have accompanied you to so many banquets. This time you have to satisfy my little wish, right?" As she said that, she hugged Yoko's neck and put her lips on his ear, "Don't worry, I know you have someone you really want to meet... Not only will I not interfere with you, but I may also help you."
...
As the news spread, both civilians and new local officials became busy.
However, the people in the center of the vortex have no idea.
Until a week later, the Roland shallow water heavy gunboat arrived in the northern Eternal Night City.
