Beigang City Council, Ballroom.

When the carriage that An Sen and the little secretary were riding came to the gate, under the slightly dark sky, the city council, which was located at the highest point in the entire city, was already brightly lit and a splendid sight.

Compared with Clovis City or any other city, Beigang can be regarded as the most special one; not only in terms of being the largest port in Clovis, the only military port and the characteristics of prosperous commerce and trade, it is also the most special one. Based on its cultural heritage and self-governing traditions that are completely different from the rest of Clovis.

Although they were the first regions to submit to the banner of the royal family of Osteria, it was not the native Clovis who built the North Harbor, but the later empire—or the northern part of the empire, led by Adran. Regional nobles, wealthy businessmen, and even adventurers.

The foreign knights who believe in the Universalist sect and the Qiuzhen sect who are also not local, but the Clovis nobles from the south, as well as the sailors and wealthy businessmen born and raised in Beigang... The three styles, cultures, and technologies are mixed together to create the present day. north port.

Another result of "cultural fusion" is that Beigang has never been able to give birth to a power that can command the entire region. Politically, it has always been in a state of division. An important reason for surrendering to the royal family of Austeria is to rely on Clovis. The power of the city guarantees the unity of the city.

But some people want unity, and some people want independence... From the day it was founded, the voice of Beigang's "independence" has never really disappeared.

Therefore, after experiencing the Beigang riot in the 95th year of the Saint Calendar, in order to silence the voices of independence and rebellion, the Austeria royal family chose to intervene in Beigang politics, supporting the Cecil family in power and suppressing the voice of local independence.

Although the Cecil family is an outsider and has a deep relationship with the empire, especially the Bernard family; they have sworn allegiance to the royal family very early, and they are one of the founders of the Clovis royal fleet, and their loyalty in the eyes of the royal family is even more than many local nobles.

Even the royal family had planned to make it one step at a time, directly sealing the Cecil family as the governor of Beigang, and at the same time holding real power in the military and politics; but the traditional influence inside Beigang is too deep, and there are many political factions and families. In the face of a riot, in the end, the election of a mayor of the Cecil family can only be the end of the event.

Diversified cultures, diverse beliefs, political divisions, strong independence, and lack of regional authority... If you don't count the Rune family behind the scenes of the New World and Louis Bernard, who was brought to the forefront by various forces, the situation in this city is almost the same. It is not surprising that the Free Confederation has the same idea of ​​"sympathy" for the colonies.

The "City Council" can be regarded as an excellent embodiment of this, both in terms of its location and itself. Apart from the port, this is the most luxurious and spectacular building in the entire North Harbor, and even the narrow streets and low-rise buildings around it. It seemed so out of place that Anson even had the illusion of "returning to Moby Dick".

If there is any difference, only Beigang is more prosperous and culturally prosperous. At the same time, railways and ports are used as cheap raw materials, sources of labor, and they can also enjoy the technical support provided by the church, and the local industrial development dividend of Clovis. …to make the building more exaggerated and more luxurious.

Before entering the door, I saw a figure who had been waiting outside early turned back and walked towards this side quickly.

Wearing a black double-breasted dress with a dark red low lining and lace, the other party looks like a person who is energetic, very healthy and very maintenance-oriented.

"Good evening, Dear Brigadier General Anson Bach, it is a great honor for you to be here in North Harbor!"

Before he got close to him, the man couldn't wait to take off his top hat and stretched out his right hand:

"On behalf of all my colleagues in the City Council, and all the people of North Harbor, I would like to welcome the hero of Clovis to the banquet!"

"This is the mayor of Beigang City Council and the head of the Cecil family, Sir Francis Cecil!" The little clerk who followed immediately stepped forward and introduced in an orderly manner. At the same time, turn your eyes to each other:

"Dear Mayor Francis, please forgive me, we can understand your hospitality, but according to Clovis tradition, even if you are in a hurry, you should leave time for the guests to prepare. This matter is too much for Beigang. fault

Courtesy! "

Facing the eyes of the little secretary's righteous words, the mayor of Beigang even showed a trace of confusion on his face, and even his outstretched right hand stopped in place.

Obviously, Alan Dawn was expressing his dissatisfaction with the tight time on Anson's behalf. If he said it himself, it would obviously have an impact on the relationship between the two parties, and it would also appear that the Storm Legion was too fussy; Successfully used "unconventional" to complete the back-and-forth operation, and put the responsibility and fault on the other side.

However, An Sen happened to know that the last time they left Beigang, the little secretary in charge of contact and arrangement was once tossed by the mayor of Beigang, so he did not rule out the idea of ​​taking the opportunity to retaliate.

"Uh this..." The stunned mayor of Beigang moved his eyes quickly between the secretary and An Sen, and then took a deep breath:

"About this matter, if it really caused your dissatisfaction, please accept my most sincere apologies; but please also believe that Beigang made this decision not intentionally to embarrass you, but really a last resort!"

"Is it a last resort?"

"Because if there is no accident, you may not stay in Beigang for too long." The mayor of Beigang's face was a little ugly: "According to the information I got, the messenger from Clovis City may arrive at any time, bringing An order for you to go to the capital immediately."

"What?!" Anson raised his eyebrows slightly:

"When I was in the port in the afternoon, didn't Brigadier General Taro Cecil also say that the Storm Legion would wait slowly in the North Port? Why are you so anxious all of a sudden?"

"This... the details are very complicated, and it is difficult to explain it immediately."

The mayor of Beigang smiled bitterly: "If possible, can you please go to the banquet hall first, and I will tell you all the information I know in private at the right time, to ensure that it is accurate."

"I know that you may not be able to fully trust us now, but at least for the next thing, the Cecil family and you are definitely in the same camp, fighting side by side!"

"After all... we are the most loyal subjects of the royal family of Osteria!"

loyalty?

An Sen looked at his extremely serious expression, and then looked at the right hand outstretched by the other party. After a moment of hesitation, he chose to hold it tightly:

"Well said... Since everyone is your Majesty's loyal servants, then of course I am willing to believe your words."

"And the Cecil family will never betray this trust!" The mayor of Beigang nodded heavily, and at the same time waved to the two of them sideways:

"Then please, the entire Beigang is waiting for you!"

Fifteen minutes later, Anson, who was invited by Francis, finally came to the banquet scene.

Perhaps it was because it was a step late. When the three entered the venue, the luxurious and bright banquet hall was already full of people; dignitaries from North Harbor, members of the Free Confederate mission, officers of the Storm Legion...all the "VIPs" who were present. "We" surrounded the tables full of delicacies, sweets and desserts, and the happy and wanton gongchao staggered.

One after another, beautiful figures like butterflies and larks, in the light and melodious tunes, shuttled quickly among the guests who had completely forgotten themselves, served the wine they had been waiting for for a long time, and took the initiative to talk to the guests when needed, bursting out. There were bursts of laughter louder than six-pounder infantry guns.

All the fine wines can be drunk freely, all the food is placed on the long tables on both sides of the hall, all the tables and chairs are all primary and secondary, completely according to the wishes of the guests - this is a standard "Clovis Feast" .

Although the entire Clovis upper class giants extremely worship the culture and customs of the empire, they still retain a lot of "local customs" in places other than Clovis City; specifically when entertaining distinguished guests, they will still use the past appearances. Inherited the way of banquets like tribal dinners in the wild era.

The food is naturally the same. Except for the local fresh aquatic products in Beigang, the rest are all grilled sausages, grilled chicken, beef ribs, salted pork... All kinds of heavy flavors, mainly marinated meat, and desserts are also led by candied yellow peaches , During the period when the sweet and greasy taste is full, except for a few champagne and wine, the alcohol is basically "popular drinks" such as rum and beer... Very Clovis-style.

In short, the liveliness is really lively, and the joy is also really happy, but the visual impact is also very strong - similar to the bandit dinner.

"Anson?!"

Not long after they approached, William Cecil, who was holding a rum glass, stopped the three of them, but his face did not look surprised, instead he was very nervous: "Why are you only here now? I discussed it with Chief of Staff Carl, and I am preparing to…”

"William!" Francis, whose complexion suddenly changed, hurriedly shouted in a low voice, "How can you talk to your guests like that, where is your courtesy?!"

"Father, I..."

The young captain hesitated for a moment, looked at Anson, and then at his father, who had a visibly bad expression, and finally sighed, "I see."

After saying that, he turned his eyes back to An Sen, but this time he obviously had some dodging: "It's not a big deal. Let's talk privately after the banquet is over."

"No problem." Although he noticed the difference, Anson decided to pretend that everything was normal for the time being: "I'll wait for you."

"Don't worry, I will definitely not break the appointment." Nodding solemnly, William turned and left silently after saying goodbye to the three of them separately.

"Sorry, this kid always has a problem with making big problems, and often can't tell the priority of things because he is too excited."

Before he could really go far, the mayor of Beigang took the initiative to explain: "It should be really just a small matter, please don't worry about it."

"I know." An Sen nodded slightly and chuckled quietly, "If that's the case, let's get down to business."

"... business?"

"Yes, didn't you just say, you want to tell me the reason why the messenger from Clovis City will arrive at North Harbor at any time?" Anson reminded: "Or, do you think it is not very convenient here?"

"No no no, no! It's just..."

Francis waved his hands again and again, but he was still obviously hesitant.

After struggling for a few seconds, he sighed heavily: "Okay, please come and see someone with me, as long as you see him, everything will be clear."

"Who?"

"Sorry, but I can't say that." Francis' expression suddenly became serious: "It's about the whole situation of Clovis, the rise and fall of Northport and the Cecil family; unless you are willing to come with me, you can't say a word. tell you!"

Anson didn't hesitate, turned decisively to look at the little secretary beside him: "You go to Carl Bain now, let him figure out Fabian's whereabouts as soon as possible, and then contact the officers."

"Tell Carl, from now on, the command of the Storm Legion will be temporarily handed over to him. Before I return, everything will be up to him. Do you understand?"

"Listen..." The little secretary twitched his throat and looked at the serious Anson with some unease, and Francis with a complicated expression on the side:

"I know, I'll do it for you."

Before he finished speaking, the little secretary who gave a solemn salute also left the two of them and walked towards the banquet hall.

An Sen silently turned his attention to the mayor of Beigang: "It's okay now, right?"

Francis didn't give any answer, but walked silently towards the corridor beside the banquet hall, leading Anson's way in front.

Passing through the corridor, the two followed the stairs to the fourth floor, which is also the bottom floor of the city council.

Standing in front of the door of the room deep in the corridor, Francis raised his hand to signal Anson to stop. He crept in and knocked on the door lightly.

"Deng deng deng-"

"This voice should be Mayor Francis, right?" A slightly familiar voice sounded from behind the door: "Why is this time coming, please come in."

After getting permission from behind the door, the relieved mayor of Beigang pushed the door open and walked into a living room that was not particularly spacious, but very comfortable.

The figure sitting by the fireplace in the living room looked at the "guest" who entered the door, UU reading www.uukanshu.com showed no sign of getting up to greet him, still covered with a thin blanket, smoking a pipe there alone.

"Sorry to interrupt your rest at this time, but some things may only be clear to us if you come forward in person."

Francis explained his purpose while making way for Anson behind him: "Please allow me to introduce, this is..."

"No need." The figure on the sofa interrupted with a smile, leaning to one side.

The smoke from his pipe lightly exhaled: "We have known each other for a long time and are very close friends, right, Brigadier General Anson?"

"You are absolutely right." Anson nodded with a chuckle, looking at the very familiar figure:

"It's been a long time, Viscount Bogner."
