Being able to become the bishop's deputy means that he is the bishop's student, and the bishop of the Royal Capital Church is a saint-level professional! "
"Oh, you actually know about the Saint level?" Zhang Mu leaned against the wall with his hands behind his head, "Where did you hear that?"
"It was Mih first... Now is not the time to talk about this!"
"Alright, alright." Zhang Mu waved his hands, "Hagrid, he's definitely going to die.
If you are worried about being implicated, I will let Dam take people to escort you back to Gol, or find a remote and peaceful town for you to settle down."
"Lord City Lord!" Soran was unusually angry. "I have sworn allegiance to you. Please don't..."
"Yes, yes, I understand, I understand."
"You don't understand!" His cheeks flushed and he was more excited than ever.
The teasing smile on Zhang Mu's face faded: "Sorry."
Now it was Soran's turn to be stunned.
"You know, I come from a faraway place, so I don't know much about your chivalry..."
"Lord City Lord." Soran sighed, "I am not a knight, and I don't care about chivalry, but... forget it."
With a serious look, he said: "After realizing that your enemy is a professional, I sincerely asked Mr. Mihe for relevant knowledge.
Therefore, I know that the bishop of the Royal Capital Church is a saint-level professional, and the statue in the church is blessed by the Mantra.
Even if you trick Hagrid out of the city, as long as he can hold out for a while under your surprise attack, the Metropolitan Archbishop will rush to the scene immediately!"
"Don't worry, he won't last long."
Seeing that Soran still had a firm expression of "I want to advise you", Zhang Mu said helplessly: "He harmed people and must pay with his life.
Probably...more than a thousand anyway."
"Why do you want to harm them?"
"For gold coins."
"How many?"
"Let me do the math. Each person is 200 copper coins. For a thousand people, that's 20. Um, 20 gold coins."
Soran tilted his head to the left: "20 gold coins?"
“Not too much.”
"What is the salary for the captain of the Gul City Guard for one year's work?"
"Ah."
After a moment of silence, he nodded: "I understand.
Lord City Lord, when will you take action? "
"Didn't I just tell you that we'll meet at the North City Gate tomorrow night?"
"Can I go?"
"What are you going to do?"
"I want to stab him."
"Let's go together."
"Thank you, Lord City Lord."
Zhang Mu burst out laughing and returned to the hotel with Sauron.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the group went out again to find a clothing store to buy dresses for the banquet.
Chapter 258 First, let's kill a bishop's deputy, an unexpected encounter
No matter how casual you are in daily life, you always have to dress appropriately when attending a banquet.
It is not that plain attire is not presentable, but it shows respect for the host and is a form of courtesy and upbringing.
If Zhang Mu went alone, he could just use Transfiguration to change his clothes.
But it seemed too unusual for the city lord to go to an important banquet without his wife.
So the group went out early and found a clothing store to customize their dresses.
Although they were called a group, in fact there were only Zhang Mu, Palina, and Soren.
Domit and Mih were not used to the hustle and bustle, so they stayed in the hotel to rest.
The same went for Leah. Although Zhang Mu repeatedly emphasized that no one would dare to do anything to her as long as he was around, the little cat girl still chose to stay in the house and listen to Mihe telling stories about his youth.
If you want to buy a dress, especially a luxurious custom-made dress, you definitely won’t be able to find a store on that street.
The three of them had no choice but to ask passers-by and arrived at a high-end commercial street.
Standing at the street corner and looking inside, Zhang Mu felt that no matter where you are, enjoyment will never go out of style.
The straight street is wide enough to accommodate three carriages running side by side. The storefronts of the row shops on both sides are uniformly designed with neat and clean styles.
The most luxurious thing is that the floor is not paved with the commonly used bluestone, but with light blue crystal, which is polished to be able to be used as a mirror.
"No wonder he spoke in an ambiguous tone when he talked about this street."
Looking down at his upside-down face on the crystal floor, Zhang Mu muttered, then turned his head to glance at Palina's trousers: "Okay, no need to change places."
"Lord City Lord." Soran looked around the street, which was full of couples of customers, women holding men's arms, the former wearing puffy skirts, "Why did he recommend us to come here?"
"Maybe they want us, the country bumpkins from other places, to experience the extravagance of the capital."
Palina was also looking around: "Don't they mind their wives being seen under their skirts?"
"Madam?" Zhang Mu said cheerfully, "How do you know they are madams?
Also, this is called peeking?
It is clearly a fair and open look."
As he spoke, he walked into the street, and Palina quickly followed him: “I still can’t understand it.
If you like her, even if you don't want to get married, you can take her home as a servant.
After all, no man wants his woman to be spied on, right? "
Seeing her curious look, Zhang Mu stopped helplessly: "Men do not want their women to be peeped at, but you also said that she is your woman."
"These." He pointed to a woman holding her male companion's arm not far away, "They are not treated as their own women."
"what is that?"
“A tool for showing off.”
Palina still seemed to not understand and looked puzzled.
This woman was very docile most of the time, but she was very stubborn when it came to her. Zhang Mu had experienced this deeply and knew that if he didn't make things clear, there would be no end to it.
"It's like a child showing off his treasured toys to his friends, and getting satisfaction from the amazement and envy of others."
"Same?" She tilted her head.
"Same." Zhang Mu saw a clothing store in front of him, walked over and waved for the two to follow him, "Just like you said,
If a man doesn't want his woman to be seen by others, what can he do? Just find some tools.
As for tools, if you can repair them, repair them. If you can’t repair them, replace them.”
Soran suddenly asked: "Are they willing?"
"From their expressions and behaviors..." Zhang Mu glanced around, "It's clear that they are very happy. The reason must be that they were given enough gold coins."
"Then, if they don't lack gold coins, will they be unwilling to do so?" Palina lagged behind him by a step, leaned her head forward, looked at his profile and asked.
He paused and continued walking: "I think so."
Zhang Mu suddenly lost interest in chatting, and the two of them keenly sensed the lowered air pressure and closed their mouths.
The clothing store is not far away, just a few steps away.
However, the crystal floor was slippery, and Palina and Soren were both of average physique. Zhang Mu slowed down his pace because he was worried that they might slip.
I have to say that street designers are well versed in taste.
The nobles who came here, accompanied by their female companions who were also ordinary people, could not walk fast either.
Naturally, you will have more time to lower your head and "appreciate".
Customers on the street are also very understanding. They will nod to each other as a sign of respect when passing by each other, but the nodding time seems a little long.
When they look up, both parties will smile and give thumbs up, praising each other's taste.
There were such scenes all around them. Zhang Mu and his two companions, who were looking straight ahead and walking as fast as possible, became the odd ones out.
Finally entering the store, Zhang Mu called the clerk to measure the body sizes of Soren and Palina.
It is located in a commercial street where all the customers are aristocrats, and the store service is also very meticulous.
There was a special female staff member in charge of Palina, and after asking for her opinion, Soren removed the ragged female employees and replaced them with male clerks.
After the data was collected, Zhang Mu expressed his hope to get the clothes in two hours, and gold coins would not be a problem.
However, the shop owner took a look at the three people's civilian clothes and was embarrassed to tell them that his shop only served nobles.
Zhang Mu smiled slightly: "Are you planning to stay in Wangdu for the rest of your life?"
"Sir, the owner of the shop is His Royal Highness the Great Prince."
"I'll ask you again, do you plan to stay in Wangdu for the rest of your life?"
Finally, amid the owner's muttering of "a rude guy from the village", he led the two back to the hotel.
Two hours later, when it was almost dark, the dress was delivered.
Soran went to his room to change clothes. Zhang Mu waited outside the door for a while. Leia opened the door and walked into the room.
"My Lord City Lord, does it fit?"
Palina stood in the middle of the living room, her fingers partially clasped together and placed in front of her belly.
Zhang Mu looked him up and down.
