Behind him, the main street leading to the city lord's mansion came like a wave of cheers, in this season of war, the people of Tanton City need such a victory to wash away the gloomy atmosphere in the city, those Tanton City residents who have been suffering in the heart of the city once again saw the hope of life, they stood on the street, only with that shout to vent their inner suppressed emotions.Perhaps some of the nobles, who had been almost in despair, began to live.It was these knights in costume who returned with a lot of military exploits, and it was not necessarily without an opportunity for them.In the welcoming crowd, there were many nobles who squeezed out a happy smile on their oily fat faces, and their eyes squeezed out a narrow slit.They are also laughing, and the civilians who survived in the outer city are full of hope for tomorrow, and they are also cheering with the crowd, these civilians in the outer city, who can survive this catastrophe, and now see with their own eyes the heads of those nightmarish dark demons, what could be more joyful than this?
There are also those soldiers of the heavy armored infantry regiment standing on both sides of the street, they form two rows of human walls, maintaining order on the street, so that the knights in uniform can go hand in two, although the heavily armored war horses can't run on the long street, but at least the road from the city gate to the city lord's mansion is unimpeded, but the smile in their eyes, why does it look a little bitter?
What can really render the atmosphere of the scene are the ladies who are smeared with fragrant perfume and wear beautiful hats with feathers on their heads, they pull some maids to squeeze in the crowd, fanning the fan in one hand and waving the champa in the other, each wave will make the chest appear surging waves, white and greasy like snow, and it is so dazzling in the crowd.It didn't take much effort for Kige and I to squeeze out of the crowd, out of awe of the magician nobles, as long as it was a person wearing a magic robe and a cone, whether it was a magician or not, the crowd would take the initiative to back out of the way and make way for a passage."
I feel that the inhabitants of Tanton City lack a resilient attitude towards life, they are not as strong as the people in El City."
In the alley where Kig and I walked side by side, I said to Kig as we walked: "If they hadn't brought back this glory belonging to the Duke of Samoyed, I'm afraid that the people of the city would have been in despair and unable to extricate themselves, but now, they can come back in time, which should make this celebration much more lively, at least give hope to some people's eyes." ”"If it were the Elders, what would they do?"
Kig was obviously curious about the place where I had lived, and she couldn't help but be curious and asked me.Kige's question reminded me of the winter in El again, and I said to her: "Pour all the strength of the city into defeating the barbarians besieging the city, whoever has the city, whoever has the city will risk his life to defend it, and the constructed knights of the North Wind Legion will always be on the south bank of the Galloping Horse River and the White Elephant River, but I heard that the power of the North Wind Legion is now in the hands of Duke Ellie, and the situation of the cities in the northern region has obviously improved a lot in recent years." ”"Every winter, we form a team of eagles to kill the barbarians outside the city of El, and in the icy and snowy environment, even those barbarians of the Storm Hero tribe who are not afraid of the cold will be frozen into ice lumps by the ice magic of Jiga."
Karantso walked behind and added casually."
These orc warriors were trained at that time?"
Kig asked again.I told Kig about the origins of these orc warriors: "Well, these orcs also came to settle in Elci from the Pai Plateau during the Great Famine that year. ”I turned my head to look down the street again, and then said, "Look, those people's eyes are already glued to the skulls of the spider-man warriors hanging from the saddle bridge of the knights, and I'm afraid it's been another sleepless night tonight." ”Kig suddenly asked me, "Guess what these knights under the Duke of Samoyed will choose between merit and magic crystals?"
”I thought for a moment before I said, "Magic Crystal, do I think such a Constructed Knights will lack merit?"
”After all, at this moment, those nobles in Tanton City have gone completely crazy.Finally, the celebration banquet of the Duke of Samoyed was held as scheduled.There is a street running through the central axis of Tanton City, this street from the gate of the outer city, through the free market of the outer city, through the south gate of the inner city, has been connected to the north to the city lord's mansion built at the highest point of the city, the whole city lord's mansion is the place with the widest view of Tanton City, standing on the watchtower of the city lord's mansion, you can not only see everything in Tanton City, but also see the vast grassland outside the city.Gorgeous magic caravans converged from the alleys onto the main street, slowly passing towards the City Lord's Mansion.There were also nobles who would walk down the street on foot in gorgeous dresses, followed by some knights or warriors dressed as retinues, who gathered in twos and threes, talking in whispers as they went.These nobles have come to attend the celebration banquet of the Duke of Samoyed, almost all the nobles in the city will be invited, and I and Kig are also caught in the crowd, and our group is also very conspicuous in the crowd, I am wearing magic robes, and the nobles who see me will inevitably look at me twice, I know that they are far more curious about my identity as a magician than about me, not so much that they are looking at me, but at my Misoli magic robe.Kig next to her hid her face in the cone cap, and she was even more calm to the eyes cast by the crowd around her, perhaps because she hid her face in the cone cap, which made people ignore the expensive Calemian magic robe on her body, and more people wanted to see through the mystery hidden under the cone hat.
The human face, her tall figure and walking posture show her noble identity.The nobles of Tanton City have enough reverence for magicians that no matter how crowded the streets are, no one dares to approach us.We were followed by the orc warrior Karantso and the lizard maid Takama, who wore a half-body armor with rounded shoulders and an exotic one.
The battle skirt of love, carrying a two-handed sword on his back, and his face is deliberately painted with three oil paints that only orc warriors can have, which is completely Pai Plateau style.
Love orc warrior dress up.Takama was wearing a tight-fitting leather armor, a ponytail hanging down from the back of her head, her golden pupils were as cold as a snake, and for some reason, no one dared to look at Takama along the way.Followed by Caterina and Minotaur Ruka, her red hair and the salamander leather armor tightened on her body, allowing her to outline a perfect body, every step will affect the muscle rhythm of the whole body, and one hand will always remain pressed on the magic broken sword, the kind of killing intent that will precipitate after countless baptisms on the battlefield, even so, it can't block the eyes of the surrounding crowd, Caterina is the focus of those eyes around us in our team.The tall body of the minotaur is particularly eye-catching in the crowd, the strong upper body is completely exposed to the moving head, under the eyes of everyone, Luka looks cautious with every step, for fear of which step is too big, and when he touches the people in the surrounding crowd, he is a little restrained, and the honest minotaur only has a sacked sackcloth coat, and his chest is open, revealing bulging muscles.Maybe it's because of his tall stature, and he walks slightly shaky.At the gate of the city lord's mansion, the waiter handed over the invitation to the waiter, and after reading the invitation, he did not expect to let him go immediately like the others, but made a gesture to the side, at this time, a butler standing next to him came out, saluted me and Qige slightly, and then told me that the Duke of Samoyed wanted to summon us alone.Kige and I glanced at each other, I didn't expect that as soon as we arrived here, we would be summoned by the Duke of Samoyed, thinking that it should be the things we did in Trem, and the ears of the Duke reached the ears, so he sent someone to wait for me at the gate, which is precisely the purpose of our celebration banquet, and we wanted to talk to the Duke of Samoyed alone before redeeming the merits.The butler led us to a small gate next to the garden, which was noticeably cleaner than the bustling crowds.We walked along an outer corridor to the tall building in the center of the city lord's mansion, and on these marble cloister columns there were exquisite relief patterns, tall round stone arches, slightly different from the Grimm Emperor Capital in the sky dome overhead, that dome was not carved with Cloud City and Dragon Cliff, but different from the sun, moon and stars in the night sky of Grimm.Following the butler through several gates, almost every gate was guarded by warriors on both sides, and we finally came to the front of the most magnificent building of the City Lord's Mansion, this magnificent building was built on a high platform, I climbed the stairs, looking at the majestic building almost had an urge to worship, the whole building was supported by a huge stone pillar forty or fifty meters high, the stone pillar had a beautiful bluestone slab wall inside, and at the top of each stone pillar, a galloping horse was carved, and the posture and movement of each horse did not seem to be consistent, From a distance, there is a momentum of galloping horses.Standing in front of this building, I realized for the first time that a building can give people an extra psychological pressure.Walking into this building, a solemn texture spontaneously emerged, inside was a very spacious council hall, in the deepest part of the hall there was a slightly raised platform, on the high platform was placed a beautiful tall chair, on the chair sat a burly old man in a noble dress, his hair was gray, but his face was ruddy, his eyes were bright, sitting on the tall chair, a great coercion passed from him.I had seen him before the battle and knew that he was the Duke of Samoyed.Beside him stood an old magician in gray magic robes, the magician smiled at me and Kig, his thin body in the magic robes, like a skeleton of bones, but he was in good spirits, and his wrinkled face looked good.Just below the high platform, there was a group of knights wearing battle armor, it seemed that these knights should be the generals under the command of the Duke of Samoyed, and the seven powerful followers stood at the front of the crowd, and the gorgeous armor on their bodies firmly attracted my attention, and I really wanted to get closer to see the gorgeous magic pattern circle on it.I pride myself on having a certain amount of research on the magic pattern array, but most of the exquisite ornaments on those armors are complex magic patterns that I have never seen, but the magic power flowing on those battle armors, and the mana emitted from the armor actually formed a faint streamer outside the armor.The Disraeli knights stood at the very back of the knights, and when they saw me and Kig enter, they secretly greeted me.As I walked down the marble floor, under the high platform, I saw Count Horace standing in the middle of the crowd, glaring at me with a grim face, and waving my hand at him disapprovingly, as if two friends I hadn't seen for a long time were greeting, and then I saw Horace snort and twist his head away.On this kind of occasion, it is very rude for a magician to do this, and the old mage standing beside the Duke of Samoyed frowned slightly.Immediately, a smile appeared on the old face full of wrinkles like a chrysanthemum, and Qi Ge and I said slowly in a flat tone: "Come in, two magicians from the Royal Academy of Magic of Green, my name is Eugene, and I can only say that I am very sorry for the danger caused to you. ”The old mage continued: "Originally, this training activity, our original purpose was just to invite the top students of the Magic Academy to clean up the more dangerous magical beasts here in the jungle area between Pereira City and Tanton City, such as swamp giant crocodiles or maned beasts, but there was a slight deviation in the matter, just as I set out from Tanton City with the Duke and sent troops to sweep the Nibru spider-men, a spider-man army crossed Tanton City and entered the Black Forest.
It has caused a lot of small troubles to your academy, and many excellent magicians have been injured, but don't worry, they have returned to Pereira City safely, and the only magicians who can persist in completing the training mission and successfully enter Tanton City are the two of you, congratulations. ”I bowed to the old mage and said, "Thank you for your news, Lord Eugene. ”The old mage, perhaps talking too much in one breath, paused, gasped for breath, and then said in his distinctive hoarse voice, "Even under Tanton, we have heard about some of the things you are doing near the Trum stronghold, yes, you are doing a good job.The Duke and I have been waiting for you for the past few days, but I didn't expect you to be able to calm down and wait until the celebration ceremony to visit the Duke. ”"What, I finally figured it out, and I want to exchange those black magic crystals for some merits from me?"
The loud voice echoed in the hall, but I didn't expect the Duke of Samoyed to open his mouth with such a question.I was thinking about how to deal with it, when I heard the Duke of Samoyed on the high seat snort coldly again, and then another question: "Or do you think those fools in the city can't get what you want?"
”I glanced up at the Duke of Samoyed on the high platform, and saw that he was propping one hand on the armrest, touching the gray beard on his chin with one hand, and looking at me with a cold gaze.
