The morning breeze of the imperial capital, the noisy sounds.
Unlike Danma, who often feels warm and leisurely, as Irina described before, the pace of life in the imperial capital is actually quite fast.
In the distance, you can still see the mist drifting in the sky, the sun is showing a half-glow behind the Chelan Mountains, but the streets of the city are already noisy, and the vendors have swept the shops, and the first energetic shouts from the doors of the shops are overcrowded, and the restaurants selling breakfast are already overcrowded.
The caravan scheduled to leave early in the morning had already led the horse convoy through half of the city at this moment, and occasionally someone could be seen leading a strangely shaped monster passing by, the big one was like a camel, the small one was like a pug, and most of the monsters that could go to the street were tame and used for freight transportation or kept as pets.
When the circus enters the city, it is common to see strange creatures like hills locked in huge cages, pulled by vehicles made up of eight horses, slowly moving slowly under the awe-inspiring gaze of people on the roadside.
Although there were many magical beasts in the ancient mountains and forests, since the art of beast control was gradually lost, such creatures and humans gradually began to become distant.
Due to the opening ceremony of the preliminaries of the elite competition will be held this morning, at this moment the entire imperial capital is full of lights, banners, color bars, huge paintings hung all over the streets and alleys, there is no printing at this time, most of the things used in this kind of propaganda are done by alchemists or painters by hand, speaking of quality is naturally uneven, but looking at it, the festive atmosphere is generally the same.
In the streets, a procession of noble deacons, workers, and slaves could be seen making the final preparations for the opening ceremony: clearing the improvised obstacles that had appeared to the procession, and checking the security of the various large propaganda objects.
It's in such an atmosphere.
All kinds of people gather in the imperial capital, mercenaries, warriors, magicians, alchemists they carry all kinds of weapons and props, dressed in various costumes, at this moment appear on the streets of the imperial capital in twos and threes, some restaurants and inns with a good view have long been occupied by people, from time to time you can hear the sound of various instrumental music, there may be heroes and legendary events in the place, naturally the kind of performers who travel everywhere and broaden their horizons, generally speaking.
Early morning performances are mostly akin to rehearsals and gaining experience, and don't ask the audience for money, but of course, if you have to.
There's no reason why people shouldn't take it.
At this moment, the performer, who was under the attention of Tang Yi, Prince Alex, and the envoys of various countries, thought that this was the case, the simple life magic technique, the low-level spells that could be done were dozens and hundreds, and this kind of magic lacked excitement.
Most of the people who can attract them are children who don't know magic.
However, no one thought she would be unpopular, and people like Verna or Lady Catherine performed on the streets, no matter how unfamiliar they were, they were absolutely very popular.
Because it's not the skill that attracts people, it's the style of the performer itself.
At this moment, although the woman was surrounded by a group of children, she looked around.
People from near and far are smiling and paying attention.
It's not just a group of nobles who pass by accidentally.
When that plant is formed on the ground, the big rooster takes shape in the hand.
The group of children burst into applause, and many adults from near and far also smiled and applauded.
Many young and handsome warriors or adventurers came over with applause, ready to strike up a conversation.
However, in this regard, it is always the aristocracy that is more experienced.
"Hello, Miss Beautiful, I'm Abrahamra.
Lofetel, your performance just now was wonderful, do I have the honor to know the name of the young lady?"
The first to seize the opportunity to strike up a conversation was an envoy sent by a small country located in the buffer zone between Atroka and Selinger, formed after the division of the Thirteen-Nation Alliance, which was famous for its rich wealth and good cultural atmosphere, which made Abrahamla in front of him.
Lofitel looks very connotative and cultivated, and is a young nobleman who is quite popular with girls.
And with his flattery, the woman in the black coarse cloth dress also stood up, made a ladylike salute to the nobleman in front of her as a commoner, and then laughed brightly.
"Is it really exciting?"
"Ah, of course, with my personality, it's very exciting."
"You liar" The woman's words in her smile can definitely be said to take a sharp turn, "It turns out that your personality is not credible at all" “” As soon as you come over, you praise the other party's wonderful performance, which is originally a simple means of picking up people, and it doesn't go through the brain at all, who knows that the other party will answer like this.
Abraham was slightly stunned, and several adventurers who wanted to talk to him not far away but were preempted immediately burst into laughter.
Many adventurers in this world are often not afraid of the authority of the nobility, but regard the challenge to the privileged class as a symbol of heroism and fearlessness, and if it were not for the fact that Abrahamla was on his side with dozens of nobles who seemed to be of considerable status, they would never give up the opportunity to talk to beautiful women because Abrahamla was one step ahead.
"Well, there are many kinds of performances in this world, and the people who like them are also different, and it just so happens that I like this kind of performance of Miss, so" "Do you need my sister's advice?"
"Uh" The aristocratic man was slightly stunned, obviously startled by the woman's self-profess, but saw her show a light and intelligent smile, and wrinkled his nose cutely: "A lie needs the cooperation of countless lies to be round, and in the end it will only exhaust the liar's heart, but there is a fable in my sister's place, the nose of a lying child will become longer."
You can't do it again in the future, some girls will like it, but some girls will hate you because of it. ” The playful and wise tone can give people a good impression, but with her didactic tone and the self-proclaimed "sister", Abraham didn't know how to answer for a while, and the nearest adventurers next to him saw that Abraham was not playing, so they smiled and wanted to come up, but saw the woman passing Abraham with small and graceful steps, and walked straight towards the noble group not far away.
In the crowd, Vincent looked at Tang Yi, rolled his eyes with a smile, Tang Yi shrugged his shoulders and said something in Furna's ear, and Furna showed a look of surprise in her eyes: "Really" The status of this group of nobles is quite prominent, and there are many guards in the open and in the dark.
Seeing the woman coming, the two pedestrians next to her seemed to be unintentionally blocking in front of her, probably aware of this situation, the woman raised her hand on her chest and waved cutely, Tang Yi also hurriedly waved her hand in response, and the two pedestrians walked away in a detour, and then everyone saw the woman walking to Tang Yi's side and pulling the skirt of the coarse cloth: "How is it?"
Tang Yi smiled: "Like a black crow." ” Women are not tall rolled his eyes: "Ho, why do you say that, won't you be as beautiful as a gentleman?"
"Hmm.
I've thought about it too, but the nose of a liar grows longer."
"Oh," the woman shrugged helplessly, "Of course I know, I thought that this dress would be like an old widow hiding in a black castle, which would make me a little more low-key."
You also know that with my sister's demeanor, it will become the focus of attention anywhere, well, don't talk about this.
There are so many of you, are you going to see a show?"
As the woman in front of her, Tang Yi never thought that she would be ignorant of the things she was involved in, and nodded with a smile: "Yes."

Watch a show. ” "Ah, is there really a lot of excitement to watch, then I'll go too."
The woman laughed brightly, and then bowed to everyone in front of her.
"Hello everyone.
I'm an Ardi friend.
Thank you all for taking care of Al."
A nobleman had long been thinking about how to come forward to talk, and at the moment he was naturally busy introducing himself.
For a while, the voice of "I am xxx" was endless, and when someone asked her name, the woman replied with a smile: "Travelers don't have a fixed place to live, and they don't have a fixed name, so everyone calls me sister."
This sentence is a place, the original lively scene suddenly cold, indeed, on the mainland, many people who travel all over the world will deliberately hide their names to ensure that they do not leave unnecessary ties in unnecessary places, such tourists often only publish their real names in the places they are willing to stay, and then marry or marry.
However, even if only a pseudonym is used, the title "sister" is too cheap.
After a moment of coldness, several nobles such as Alex laughed first.
Vincent was the first to reach out: "I'm Vincent, young lady, I think we've already met." ” "Oh, it's not good to take advantage of girls like this, and your face was better looking at that time."
"Hey, I'm Felix, and I've finally seen a woman like me, in order to show my little brother's affection, sister, our friendship starts with a hug, okay?"
"I'm sorry, my sister already has someone she likes, and she's willing to defend herself for him, if you want to hug your sister, you have to duel with him first."
"Oh, it's Al, he doesn't mind" "It's Bakna Rorschach, you'd better duel him first and then talk about it hahahahaha" Similar words to Felix's when dealing with Bobby, showing that she was definitely in the know about the matter, Felix touched his nose and shrugged with a smile: "Then forget it" followed by Verna: "I heard Al talk about you, you are" "Please call me sister, little sister."
"Oh, sister, thank you so much" "We're rivals, so no thanks" In a slightly ambiguous tone, Furna still smiled brightly, knowing the identity of this woman, she obviously took the other party's words as a joke.
Then Alex and the others greeted each other one by one, and the two main elves fell at the end, and Elenita politely said, "It's a pleasure to meet you."
Estero's demeanor was a little strange, and he walked over and shook hands very respectfully, but when he shook it, his whole body shook violently, and after a while, he put it down with some gaffe: "Well, I'm sorry" "Nothing."
The woman smiled unmindfully.
"Senior, what's wrong" As the group continued to walk forward, Elenita walked up to Esterro and asked softly.
"Well, it's nothing, but it's a strange feeling, I can't describe it, maybe something has gone wrong these days so it's causing hallucinations, but if it's accurate, it should be a very pure life force, too pure, even like a god" He put the hand holding the woman to his lips, as if to sniff out the residual sensation on it, and only opened his eyes after a while, and there was a slight confusion in his pale pupils: "Maybe it's an illusion, I've been going in the wrong direction these days."
I've got to do it all over again."
There was everyone's laughter in front of him, he didn't know that in this moment of confusion, the face of the woman in the black dress also outlined a charming smile, and beside Tang Yi, she murmured: "I can't imagine that there will be a master elf who will be crazy like this, and deduce such a method for the sake of power."
"What" "Heh, something that was annihilated four thousand years ago, there should be no information about it among the main elves now.
But maybe no matter what era it is, there is always something that madmen have in common."
The imperial capital was not far from the sound of the king snake, and beyond the eastern city gate, the huge fortress built against the Qilan mountain wall in the distance was already clearly visible.
The men mounted their horses and rode along a road large enough for four large carriages to ride side by side to the majestic city-state, surrounded by flowing streams, paddy fields, dense trees, and occasional residential quarters and farmsteads, even outside the city.
Enthusiastic vendors and bustling pedestrians can still be seen on the road, and although the walls of the imperial capital only reach the moat on that side, the city of the king snake has been considered part of the imperial capital since the founding of Atroca.
This road connecting the Twin Cities is still counted by everyone as the inner city.
At this moment, the team has been roughly divided into two groups, not far ahead of Bobby.
Rose rode slowly.
Leisurely nibbling on a red apple in his mouth.
The envoy of Aruntana was talking to the envoys of several small lands next to him.
As for the woman in the black dress, Prince Alex, and Prince Freret, everyone gathered in the rear, in fact, at any time.
Men's topics are often inseparable from women, unlike Princess Daisy, who is beautiful but always cold, and everyone knows that she can't move, the woman in the black dress has a very cheerful personality, and will interject two sentences very playfully from time to time.
After a while, in order to express their connotations in front of the ladies, the surrounding nobles turned to philosophy and the like.
"Ah, in this lonely and lonely night, I will sit in front of the window, looking at the night like water, drinking coffee over and over again, and my heart will swell up with a thick sadness, what kind of fate lies ahead, I think, think, and unconsciously shed tears" "The greatest character in the world is definitely gambling, and gambling is the most romantic act of a gentleman, wandering on the strings that are as tight as a tightrope , or loss, everything is so simple and clear, if life is also how good it would be, xxx said, the reason why we are sad is because we don't know how to play cards" "Cigars, the greatest product in the world, our country's cigars, are not only good but also cheap, and the promotion price is only six silver coins each" When so many people from different countries, different regions, and different cultures get together, some scenes are extremely funny in Tang Yi's eyes, a bearded man who has to sleep with a different woman every night sighs like a little girl sighing like water, a thin man who is like a drug addict spitting and lamenting the greatness of gambling, and even an ambassador from a cigar producing area is promoting his country's products on the spot.
In the end, the conversation unconsciously stopped at the greatest mind in the world.
The answers naturally varied, those who said modesty, those who said fraternity, and those who said gambling waited until it was Freette's turn, but when he saw him look at Alex, he smiled and said, "Yes."
What do you think?"
"Heh," Alex smiled, "I think it's self-discipline." ” Speaking of which, these two princes are definitely the two people who pay the most attention to in the team, but no one has explained much about their words, and Felix in front of him does not look back, and sighs in a funny voice: "A bunch of idiots, the greatest in the world" The last three words of "It's love" were connected by Tang Yi, Vincent, Verna and Kna together, and then the five of them looked at each other and laughed.
The woman in the black dress on the side smiled: "It's not breast augmentation" Felix looked back at her strangely: "Big sister, how do I think you know what color I wore in my underwear today, you know that you are peeping at me" Probably it was the intuition of the martial artist and his understanding of Tang Yi and others that made him feel that this woman was definitely not simple, and while he was talking, everyone passed through a dense woodland, and the vision in front of them suddenly opened up, and the magnificent momentum of the City of King Snakes finally appeared in front of everyone.
The huge bluestone fortress is built against the steep walls of the Chilan Mountains.
The diameter of the left and right is as long as fifteen miles, and the semicircular huge city wall surrounds and rises layer by layer, all the way to the sky with the mountain wall, these streets and houses built between the mountain walls are roughly divided into ten floors, with a total height of two hundred meters, even if he has seen a hundred stories of high-rise buildings in the real world, this super giant fortress of about seventy stories high still makes Tang Yi gasp.
The summit of Mount Chelan is covered with snow all year round, and the melted snow water flows down from the top of the mountain, weaving streams between the fortresses for life.
A medium-sized waterfall cascades down from the cliff on one side of the fort, and when channeled, forms a moat around the outer perimeter of the King Snake City.

At this moment, the gate of the city of King Snake is lowered, and the merchants and pedestrians are busy and endless.
In the square in front of the city gate, a huge market has gathered.
More than sixty percent of the high-end craftsmen in the imperial capital live in the city of King Snake, which is famous for its high-end weapons, magic scrolls, alchemy products, and luxury items such as perfumes, toothpaste, and skin care products used by the nobility.
The lower six floors of the castle were open areas and were inhabited by about 60,000 craftsmen, scholars, soldiers, and high-ranking commoners or nobles.
As for the upper four floors, it is the family territory that definitely belongs to the Ifrit clan.
As the group approached the city gate, a senior deacon, who had been waiting there, came to greet them and said, "The head of the house will come at once."
Welcome to the City of King's Serpent", and then the group entered the castle.
The streets of the inner city of the King Snake are not crowded.
The platform avenue, which can accommodate about two horse-drawn carriages in parallel, is crowded with pedestrians.
But it's orderly.
The shops on both sides of the road are beautifully arranged, and many expensive magic decorations and welcome bouquets create a prosperous and elegant atmosphere.
The vendors are warm and polite, according to the deacon, these people have gone through a unified standard before they can take up their posts, Tang Yi listened, and couldn't help but sigh, even though the development of civilization is different, but sure enough, every civilization must have its rationality.
The group rode through the first floor of the street, even though they knew Bobby.
Rose had come for a challenge, and the deacon still did not show up in the slightest disdain.
Dozens of people walked around a small, ornate square.
Then he sat on the huge magic ropeway and went directly to the seventh floor.
Huge steel cables, thicker than a human arm, slanted up and down the city of King Snake, powered by magic, hoisting huge cabins like sailing ships slowly upward, looking at the streets and houses below from mid-air, the warm and prosperous atmosphere in everyone's hearts.
Even though it began four hundred years ago and took almost a hundred years to complete, the City of the Snake is now the pinnacle of creativity on the continent, and the madness and genius of the Snake Clan are evident in the people who conceived and planned the castle.
No matter what the outcome of this contest is, just coming here once, everyone has a feeling of being pressed down by the strong head-on of the King Snake clan.
A moment later, the cabin carrying everyone crossed the solid walls and slowly descended on the ornate plaza on the seventh floor.
Opening the hatch, surrounded by a guard of honor, several noble men came up from the front, the first of which was a middle-aged man with a gentle appearance, just looking at this battle, it was clear that he was Knoun, the eldest son of the current head of the Ifrit family, Bucknaroschach.
Ifrit, and beside him, Tang Yi also saw Joshua, whose face was slightly pale, and nodded and smiled at him after seeing him.
"Knorn to see His Royal Highness Fredet and Vincent" "Uncle Knorn doesn't have to be polite."
"Your Excellency the Marquis doesn't need to be polite."
In fact, Frevice and Vincent are a generation younger than Knone, the three families have always advertised to be equal, and the etiquette at this moment is just a symbolic exercise, followed by a busy mutual introduction and polite topics, when it was Tang Yi's turn, he could feel that the palm of the other party was obviously very strong, but it was not a demonstration, but that kind of gentle and heavy taste.
Stayed until Bobby.
Rose, Knorn smiled politely.
"Oh, what happened outside the palace yesterday, I have heard about it, and I have also reprimanded Lawrence's child who does not know the height of the sky, His Excellency Bobby is famous in the southwest, I believe that he will not take the child's childish behavior to heart, and his father has lived in seclusion for many years, he is old, and his old man's birthday is in the near future, hehe also asks His Excellency Bobby not to take yesterday's things to heart, those of us who are juniors, we can also explain to the world, I don't know" There's not the slightest hint of mockery or sarcasm, anyone can hear it, Knorn The words are sincere and modest.
Although I don't know why.
But naturally this is not a cowardice, and as a Bobby who had to come to challenge after being designed by Felix, he was given enough face at the moment, and he thought that he would borrow the slope to get off the donkey after this passage and eliminate this short-term turmoil.
Although everyone regretted it, on the other hand, most people did not want to see Baknar Rorschach appear in an invincible posture, which increased the arrogance of the Ifrit family in vain.
However, what everyone didn't expect was this.
Just moments later, the red-haired man knelt down on one knee with his sword in hand and saluted Knorn as an ordinary swordsman.
"The demeanor and heart of the head of the Knorn family are admired by Bobby, but.
I beg your pardon, but there are many things that I still have to do with this challenge, and although I don't say it, I know it very well.
Thirty years ago, our Majesty's brutal administration had already aroused public outrage in the country, and the killing of Mr.
Baknaroschach had in a way saved Aruntana from destruction.
This is very clear in Bobby's heart, but it is one thing to be clear, as a subject of Aruntana, no matter how brutal His Majesty may be.
Killed like that by Mr.
Bucknar Rorschach.
It is a contempt and insult to the whole of Aruntana.
This hatred builds up when Bobby is scarce, until he can think through these things.
The hatred has faded, but the belief that one day I want to challenge Mr.
Bucknaroschach has accumulated over the past thirty years, and I'm sorry, I can't let go."
Therefore, today's challenge is not for the country, nor for the original grudge, but only for Bobby's ambition as a warrior, if he can challenge the world's No. 1 Sword Master, as Bobby, even if he dies because of this, there will be no complaints.

I can guarantee that today's incident will definitely not affect the atmosphere of the Seventeenth Congress, but will only add a more brilliant color to this grand event, so I ask the head of the Knorn family to agree to let me hand over the war letter to Mr.
Bucknaroschach, and no matter what the result is, I can leave here with a smile."
At that moment, the golden morning light sprinkled down, and the red-haired swordsman who stood tall seemed to bloom with a more magnificent light than the morning light, even Felix later had to admit that this man had indeed stolen everyone's limelight at that moment.
Seeing his resolute attitude, Knorn sighed after a long time: "Well, okay, Mr.
Bobby's war letter, I will present it to my father on my behalf, but my father has not been easy to do it over the years, and it is difficult to say whether he will agree, if there is no response, please forgive Mr.
Bobby." ” "Of course, Mr.
Bucknaroschach is the first man in the world, and if he thinks that Bobby's cultivation is still not enough to be his opponent, then Bobby naturally has nothing to say, and as for the war book, I heard" He raised his head and looked from the square to the northeast mountain wall, where a huge statue of a king snake stood proudly in the wind at the steepest point, exuding a sense of oppression in the world.
"I've heard that over the years, anyone who challenges Mr.
Buckna Rorschach has to make a move in that direction, and only when Mr.
Buckna Rorschach responds with a sword move, it can be regarded as qualified for the challenge, I don't know if there is such a thing" "Well, well," Knorn smiled at the huge statue, "Let's tell you the truth, my father's seclusion is in a manor in the middle of the mountain over there, and theoretically this statue is just above the mountain road leading to the manor, and if Mr.
Bobby's attack is enough to destroy the statue, then the falling statue will destroy the path, so my father will indeed draw a sword for it."
But in fact, this statue is one of the symbols of my Ifrit family, although it looks crumbling, but it has been reinforced by more than three hundred composite magic circles, plus the rock mass itself is made of the strongest golden rock on the continent and has been shaped by hundreds of alchemists, speaking of which, at present, the only thing that can destroy one of them on the entire continent is probably the Angry Dragon Cannon of the Light God Palace."
"Ahh As soon as these words came out, Bobby's face was obviously a little stunned, and then, Knorn laughed: "Ten years ago, the previous barbarian warrior god in the south came here to challenge his father, and this rumor came out after the first war, but speaking of which, that gentleman did punch the statue, although it was not enough to damage the statue, but his father agreed to his cultivation, so he accepted the challenge, if Mr.
Bobby really insisted, I think this is indeed the best battle book, yes, I don't know when Mr.
Bobby intends to do."
"If the head of the house doesn't mind, I think it's right now, it's really disrespectful to swing a sword at the symbol of nobility, Bobby I'm sorry first."
"Heh, it's nothing, please feel free" Speaking of this, Knorn's face seemed to be a little stunned, everyone took it for granted, the King Snake clan has backed down three or four times, you still insist on this, isn't that looking for death, regardless of Buckna Rorschach, even if this Knorn himself, it is definitely not a simple role There were disdain, admiration, and indifference, everyone saw Bobby striding forward, and after a while, he was already dozens of meters away from everyone, reaching the edge of the square, but although he was far away, as he stepped out step by step, the wind pressure in the air became more and more solemn.
When the super-level powerhouse was ready to make a move with all his might, Tang Yi felt a little tightness in his chest, and subconsciously took a few steps back, standing behind the human wall to soothe a little, and at this time, the sound of "Qiang" resounded throughout the square, and with Bobby's sword, the blood-red light mist suddenly spread.
If it was a formal competition, he would never use such a large-scale trick, but at this moment, he only sought destructive power, and the fighting spirit spread overwhelmingly, and the power was really amazing.
However, in the next moment, everyone's eyes were full of flowers, the wind pressure was gone, the blood mist was dissipated like an illusion, the sky was full of vibrant sunlight, and the morning breeze caressed everyone's body as always.
And in the middle of the wind, a voice sounded faintly.
"No, oh, before my sister challenges him" In the morning light, the woman in the black dress, who was still in the crowd, stood quietly behind the red-haired swordsman at this moment, as if she had been standing there from the beginning, never moving.
There were so many people present, and there was no shortage of super-level martial artists, and none of them could see her movements clearly.
When the breeze rises, the long hair pulled up at the back of the head flies into the air, and the black skirt swings gracefully and lightly in ripples.
"No":
