The lodious bell chis echoed one after another, with their rhythm varying between fast and slow, as if playing so kind of tune.
This was a way of conveying ssages in Luona Capital, an ancient yet practical thod. Compared to the use of Mail Birds, which required spirit power, this thod was more suitable for short-distance communication.
It's sowhat like a beacon tower, but while a beacon can only send one signal, these bell chis can convey multiple signals.
In a sense, these chis are also a language, an encrypted one at that.
Only those from the City Administrative Office can understand this language.
At the mont the chis rang, Aevernan was in the Twin Star Grand Hall reporting to Governor Rostov about the past circumstances of Liuli City. He had prepared for many days for this matter; the governor had last summoned him a few days ago, just when the people from the Alchemy Workshop had recently visited, bringing significant changes to the capital.
The primary changes in the capital were due to Governor Rostov. There was no way around it; Governor Rostov demanded changes to the capital, and the capital must change...
In the past, such matters required urgent discussions among the entire city's important figures and forces, but this ti, Governor Rostov didn't seem to plan on discussing and was determined to cooperate with the Alchemy Workshop.
These changes are a good thing. Aevernan believed this contributed to the long-term developnt of Luona Capital, as the power of the Alchemy Workshop should not be underestimated, and the feeling of strong alliances was exhilarating.
So, in recent days, he had been very excited, organizing those materials for Lord Governor. Although he didn't know why Lord Governor was interested in the surroundings of Guru Mountain, it might be because of the recent significant commotion around Guru Mountain.
Just as Aevernan was explaining the situation in the Dusk Market of Liuli City to Lord Governor, the bell chis began to spread across the skies of Luona Capital.
What's happening? Why are the chis ringing?
The first reaction of the City Administrative Office officials was this.
They all imdiately thought that sothing major was about to occur because the chis generally don't ring at such tis; they're only used to convey ssages in tis of crisis.
Could it be that there's sothing unusual at the border again?
The chis went from rapid to slow, gradually conveying their intended ssage.
Aevernan was almost surprised to the point of dropping the pen in his hand. This was too absurd.
Instantly, the expression on Rostov's face beca a bit peculiar...
Nakasha's ssage was transmitted in three segnts; the bell chis couldn't convey information continuously, only in segnts.
As soon as the chis rang, all administrative mbers were aware that sothing significant had happened and judged the importance and urgency of the matter according to the rhythm.
The chis rang, and the first segnt of the ssage reached the ears of these officials, without a doubt, the rhythm of this sound represented sothing pretty urgent.
Louvkat, the Director of Administration, beca very anxious at that mont. He managed the entire City Administrative Office's finances, and if the borders were really stretched tight now and a war was imminent, the money would flow out like water. What a troubleso situation!
As soon as the chis rang, the Chairman of the Trade Association felt that sothing major was imminent. He already began picking up the Mail Bird, preparing to send a ssage to his confidant to stash away a bit of money...
The first reaction of the Wizard Alliance, Scholar Commons, including Yonder Travel Academy, to this bell sound was a feeling of a bad on.
Everyone got ready to get busy, but the second segnt of the chi's ssage made them pause...
The second aning conveyed by the chis left Governor Rostov with a displeased expression, as the ssage pertained to his son.
The second ssage transmitted by Nakasha was simple: Young Master Hustace has returned safely...
When this ssage was deciphered by the City Administrative officials, everyone was stunned. Was this such an important ssage? Needing the bell chis for transmission, this was too absurd.
At that mont, Louvkat, the Director of Administration, truly wanted to point at Governor Rostov's nose and scold him outright. This was too outlandish! Using such an important communication tool to convey your family affairs was treating the entire Luona Capital as your personal property. Does this guy have no regard for the law or the Kayne Empire!
The Chairman of the Trade Association exhaled a breath, secretly delighting in his heart. Wasn't this an opportunity handed to them to topple Governor Rostov!
Yonder Travel Academy and other organizations exchanged knowing smiles. Heh heh, the expedition team to Guru Mountain had finally returned!
Without much ti for reflection, the chis transmitted the final piece of information, and it was also brief.
"Unable to enter the city?" Aevernan struggled to interpret this ssage's aning. "What does that an?"
Governor Rostov's expression varied, unsure of what this ssage was about now!
It's urgent; Young Master Hustace has returned safely but cannot enter the city!
What the heck, how is it possible that he can't enter the city!
Did they perhaps not issue this brat an access permit? Governor Rostov's expression grew grimr.
"My Lord, what do you make of this..." Aevernan found it difficult to comprehend, unsure of Governor Rostov's current situation! In his impression, he had never seen Lord Governor with such a look. He felt the League Guard Captain was in trouble, for handling matters so unreliably, and dispatching the guards to protect and track Young Master Hustace resulted in such a foolish situation. Wasn't this plainly giving a perfect excuse to competitors?
Governor Rostov was indeed a bit angry, wondering how his child could stir such a massive commotion. The last ti, dispatching a team to Guru Mountain, the opposition parties had already raised concerns. Now, these fools were making another scene, was this not plainly shoving him into an abyss? Truly puzzled about how Kuren, the League Guard Captain, was chosen, bearing the sa na as the Empire's God of War, wasn't that an embarrassnt...
But sulking here wouldn't accomplish anything; instead, it was better to think of ways to resolve this impasse. Perhaps the news his son brought back would carry so weight, thus silencing those old bones.
Hopefully, but what ssage could his son possibly bring? Likely nothing at all!
He knew his son well, still a flower in the greenhouse, not yet capable of creating a storm.
Yet, there were questionable aspects within this ssage. How had his son ended up in Kimbrye City, unless sothing unexpected had occurred!
And this unexpected event was the issue he was most concerned about now.
"Co, Aevernan, let's head to the city gates!" Governor Rostov stood up.
Aevernan was stunned, standing still. In his heart, he thought, it seed Lord Governor truly cared for his son! Going personally to the city gates for a welco...
