Xie Xun and the butler Fu Bo checked the procedures on the day of the celebration, and suddenly a guard walked in holding a gold-plated post.
"City Lord, there is someone asking to see him outside the door. He claims to be the Lord of Sunset City. This is a visiting card he gave to his subordinates."
The housekeeper, Uncle Fu's eyelids twitched, "This bastard is too rude, how can anyone hand in a visiting card only after they have been to other people's door?"
While talking, he stepped forward to take the visiting card, then returned to the desk and handed the visiting card to Xie Xun.
Xie Xun took a quick glance, his eyes paused for a moment on the name where the signature was signed, and then closed the visiting card and placed it in the upper right corner of the desk, "Please invite him to sit in the living room, and the city lord will change his clothes and go."
Uncle Fu quickly responded, "The old slave will make arrangements now."
Uncle Fu and the guards exited the study together, and walked quickly towards the gate. As expected, they saw a group of people with very different appearances standing outside the gate.
"Keep everyone waiting, my master please..."
The voice of the butler, Fu Bo, paused. The group of people in front of him were all of different races. Apart from the slight difference in the color of their hair and pupils, they looked almost the same in appearance.
For a moment, it was somewhat unclear which one was the new Sunset City Master.
"The Lord of the City is here."
The voice came from the right side of the door, and the entourage moved out of the way, and the blond young man walked to the butler.
It turned out that none of them were.
Uncle Fu was a little taken aback, quickly concealed his emotions, and respectfully stretched out his finger behind him, "Please come in."
He led people to the living room, and ordered the maid to serve tea.
"My master is going to change clothes, please wait a moment."
"It's okay." Lance Raphael smiled happily, his unique gentle appearance made him look more like a harmless little sheep.
The butler, Uncle Fu, has a slightly better sense of him. Although he is a foreigner who doesn't know how to be polite, his attitude is quite friendly.
Because of this change of thinking.The butler, Fu Bo, also tried his best to answer some unimportant questions.
The two chatted for a while, when footsteps came from outside, they both raised their heads and looked towards the door at the same time, the handsome man in the city lord's uniform walked in step by step surrounded by servants.
Lance Raphael put down his teacup and got up to greet him, "Your Excellency, the Lord of the City."
Xie Xun walked directly to the main seat above and sat down, "There is no need to be polite, please sit down."
"It's been a long time since I left the inn last time. The city lord is more handsome than before." The young man smiled lightly, and after finishing speaking, he sat down in the position pointed by Xie Xun.
The steward Fu Bo at the side glanced at him approvingly, thinking that this foreigner has good eyesight, and now their city lord is a holy rank venerable, of course he is more elegant than before.
The maid served tea to Xie Xun, Xie Xun glanced lightly, and then looked at the blond young man below, "I don't know why you are here today?"
"Naturally, it is to fulfill the promise I made in front of His Excellency the City Lord." The young man's blue eyes showed seriousness, and he took out a palm-sized gold box from his sleeve.
"I said that day that I would offer my gift as a token of my loyalty to His Majesty the City Lord. This is my gift."
Forbe on the side was a little dumbfounded, what did he hear?The city lord of the setting sun actually said that he would be loyal to their city lord?
Xie Xun glanced at Uncle Fu, Uncle Fu came back to his senses, and hurriedly stepped forward to get the palm-sized gold box, and presented it in front of Xie Xun.
Xie Xun reached out to open the unlocked box lid. Inside the box was a black token with mysterious and complex patterns engraved all over the token. There were three gold-plated characters in the center of the token.
——Sunset Order.
"I offer Sunset City as my loyalty to Lance Raphael." The blond young man said with a firm tone, and knelt down on one knee after speaking.
"Also as a proof of my ability."
Xie Xun didn't have much interest in Sunset City. Although Sunset City has good economic strength, it is deep in the desert, and the transportation to the outside world is very inconvenient. Even if he takes over, it will only increase the trouble.
However, Lance Raphael is a bit interesting. As he said, being able to win the position of the city lord of Sunset City in such a short time is enough to prove his extraordinary ability.
Xie Xun put the sunset order back into the gold box, "The Lord of the city doesn't need it now."
The blue eyes of the blond-haired young man showed some astonishment. He didn't expect that even if he offered Sunset City, he would not be able to be accepted by the other party as the loyal city lord. He was a little aggrieved: "How can Sunset City be inferior to Ningzhou City?"
"I can give you three years." Xie Xun picked up his teacup and took a sip. No one in this world would refuse to expand his rule. "Build a fixed route from Sunset City to Pingyang City."
The desert is full of wind and sand, and there is no fixed road at all. There are quicksand traps everywhere in the Sunset Desert. People who are not familiar with the terrain are basically courting death if they enter the Sunset Desert.
This is also the natural barrier of Sunset City.
But now, some people demand that this barrier be removed.
"Yes." Lance Raphael was not reluctant at all, but was excited because the other party gave a clear goal.
Uncle Fu on the side was in a very complicated mood. He didn't expect the new Lord of the Sunset City to be so stupid and sweet. His master only said to give time to ask, but he didn't say that he would definitely agree to it.
But fortunately, it is his master who is facing him. Since his master has made a request, he will definitely agree if it is completed.
"Since it's already here..." Xie Xun paused, and then said, "In three days, Pingyang City will hold a celebration, you might as well stay and take a look."
Lance Raphael would naturally not refuse, "Then I will be a guest at the Santo's Mansion for a few days, and I hope His Excellency the Santo will allow."
Xie Xun nodded, looked at Uncle Fu, "Arrange a few guest rooms."
Forbe bent down, "Yes."
Xie Xun got up and said to Lance Raphael, "I still have business to do, so I won't accompany you."
"Your Majesty, go slowly." Lance Raphael stood up, put his hands on his chest, and saluted gracefully.
After watching his master leave, the housekeeper Fu Bo's eyes fell on the guest invited by his master again.
"Master Raphael, ask the old slave to take you and your followers to the guest room to rest."
"Okay." Lance Raphael bent his lips harmlessly, "Thank you."
The two walked out of the living room, and Lance Raphael's followers were waiting outside.
"By the way, before I came today, I seemed to see someone kneeling at the door in front of your city lord's mansion?"
"That's Patriarch Qin, who came to plead guilty to my master."
"Oh?" The blond young man's gentle expression remained unchanged, "Then, Your Excellency the City Lord—"
"Patriarch Qin was implicated in the first place, so His Excellency the City Master did not blame him." The housekeeper Fu Bo said with a smile, "The City Master also specially allowed the Qin Family to make up the oath at the celebration three days later."
"Tsk." The young man made a very sour disdainful sound.
The last time the celebration of Pingyang City was held was when the old city lord was there a few years ago. Now after so many years, I heard that the city lord will hold the celebration again, and the people in Pingyang City almost fell into a New Year's mood.
Although the three days are relatively rushed, Pingyang City is not short of money, but any matter that can be solved with money is not a problem for the City Lord's Mansion
Because the news was released in advance, many merchants and people from other main cities also poured into Pingyang City.
The Pingyang City Avenue, which had always been wide and flat, was almost overwhelmed by passing carriages and pedestrians.
Three days later, the unprecedented grand celebration in Pingyang City was held as scheduled.
The city was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the celebration platform in Pingyang City once again welcomed its owner.
The continuous red carpet winds directly up the stone stairs from the bottom square, and the people of Pingyang City and foreign tourists all gather on the square below the steps.
From time to time, everyone looked at the empty heavy dark red chair on the ceremony stage, and soon its owner would sit there to accept the worship of many aristocratic families in Pingyang City.
The sound of horns sounded melodiously, and with the sound of passionate drums, the guards of the City Lord's Mansion rode tall horses and surrounded a black and golden carriage from far to near, and finally stopped at the bottom of the stairs.
The maid stepped forward and slowly opened the door of the carriage, and the white-haired man in black city lord uniform got out of the carriage.
"Welcome to the Lord City Master." The people on the square knelt one after another in the afternoon, and at first glance, they bowed like wheat waves blown by the wind.
Xie Xun stepped up the steps, went to the highest seat and sat down.
The patriarchs of the aristocratic family lined up in two rows on the left and right of the steps. The moment he sat down, they all turned around and knelt down.
At this moment, everyone's face was full of surrender.
Xie Xun ordered everyone to stand up, and then it was a reward for the family's last attack on the city by monsters.
At that time, for the aristocratic family, the rare things rewarded by the city lord were second to none, and the most important thing was the praise from the city lord's mansion.
When it was Qin Siyuan's turn, Xie Xun paused, and read: "The Patriarch of the Qin family steps forward." Qin Siyuan stepped firmly, walked to the middle and knelt down, and read out the oath he had already learned by heart.
"...I will obey the order of the city lord, swear by blood, not take the responsibility of the family, and firmly maintain the stability of Pingyang City. If there is any violation, the Qin family will be slaves for generations."
"Quite." The deep and powerful voice came to his ears, which meant that the new head of the Qin family had accepted the approval of the city lord's mansion, and the Qin family who came together couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Although the city lord said that he would allow the Qin family to swear an oath, it is even more reassuring that the dust has not settled.
The sun was rising, and there was no sound on the high platform. Everyone raised their heads and looked up curiously.
The dazzling sunlight shone on the high platform, casting a layer of golden light on the black city lord's uniform, and the white-haired venerable saint sat firmly on the city lord's chair, majestic and powerful.
His eyes quietly fell under the high platform, like a god who came down to the world to examine his people.
——That is the god who guards Pingyang City.
The people of Pingyang City knelt down spontaneously again.
"I'm really upset." The gentle blue eyes of the blond young man saw through the crowd the family of Ningzhou City above the steps.
"He is clearly the loser, but he is qualified to stand in the position of the subordinate family."
The entourage who came with him behind the young man couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth. You are too persistent, and you start to hurt others when you can't get it yourself.
Looking at the family heads from Ningzhou City, apart from the suppressed joy, there was only fear on their faces.
The blond youth sighed, turned around and walked away from the crowd.
"Master, where are you going?" The followers were stunned and hurried to catch up.
"Go back to Sunset City and build the road."
"City Lord, there is someone asking to see him outside the door. He claims to be the Lord of Sunset City. This is a visiting card he gave to his subordinates."
The housekeeper, Uncle Fu's eyelids twitched, "This bastard is too rude, how can anyone hand in a visiting card only after they have been to other people's door?"
