Chapter 599(1/2)
"Boss, Northriel is coming."
Sikalius walked into the airship's top-floor luxury suite and reported to Renne.
Immersed in reading, Rennes closed the mobile library, stood up and walked to the window, and looked through the deck to look at the horizon ahead. The airship set off from Modu early in the morning. After most of the day of flying, it finally arrived at the capital of the empire in the afternoon.
On the endless plain, a huge city appeared.
Northriel!
Rennes sighed, as the capital of the Orionthus Empire, Northrier is not only the largest city in the empire, but also the largest city in the world today.
It is an inland city, with only a few not too wide rivers leading to the seaside hundreds of kilometers east, with an area of more than twice that of Modu and a permanent population of more than 10 million. The church headquarters of the Three Gods of the Empire are all here, and countless forces gather in it.
Northrier has developed from a small town in the Second Age to the present. Its long history of tens of thousands of years carries countless legends and cultural heritages and has the reputation of "Capital of All Capitals".
For more than a thousand years, Northriel had only one real master.
That is Master Auguste.
Now that this great wizard is "missed", Northrier is surging undercurrents, and the once supreme status of Naser Floating City has also become the focus of competition among major forces in the empire.
Renn looked into the distance.
An upside down mountain hangs west of Northreil, fluttering in the wind in the clouds at high altitude. There are dozens of towers standing on its cross section. Even if it is a hundred miles away, you can feel the magnificence of the floating city, emitting a brilliant magical light, comparable to the sun in the sky.
Nesser Floating City is the world's first Floating City, much larger than Vizerland.
It is not hanging in one position like Wizerland, but it is always flying around Northreal on a fixed route, with a fast speed and a circle of one lap in about ten days.
This floating city has too many meanings, wizard faction, politics, economy...
Renn watched for a while before retracting his gaze.
Soon after, the airship sailed over the city of Northrier. The dense buildings on the ground were endless and there was no end at all. The streets were crisscrossed, and the crowds were filled with people. The driving cars, running mounts, and the confident and energetic residents on their faces formed the capital's appearance, and the prosperity was even better than that of Momo.
The airship Renn was riding landed in a take-off and landing field in the city.
"Let's go down."
There were no other passengers on the airship, and he only brought Bolchi and two teams of extreme warriors on this trip.
Asina was originally very interested in coming to Northreil to watch, but Rennes advised her to stay at the base of Fort Vajra on the grounds that Master Euroin had few opportunities to guide swordsmanship and should not be missed.
After weighing the trade-offs, Asina felt it made sense.
Rennes breathed a sigh of relief.
Viola has been in Northrier for the past few years. She must meet her this time. It would be too embarrassing to take Asina with her.
He didn't want to experience the scene that day anymore.
Bang bang bang bang...
Twenty-four extreme warriors rode on the Kodo beast and ran out of the rear hatch of the airship in two rows. The two extreme extreme warriors in their hands held a square battle flag in their hands. The red flag was embroidered with the badge of the Augustus family, and a pattern of golden warhammers crossing the crescent moon.
Renn shouted to the golden three-headed dragon beside him: "Bolchi."
"boss……"
Bolchi reluctantly made a bitter face.
Renn saw through his thoughts at a glance and promised with a smile: "As long as you agree, you will be exempted from debts of one thousand golden shields every day."
"Okay!" Bolchi's eyes glowed, and he immediately smiled and said eagerly: "Boss, this is what you said."
"When will I keep my word?" Renn asked back.
Bolchi nodded repeatedly.
He no longer hesitated, and the strong man turned into a tall and majestic war horse.
The body is covered with hard gold scales, the red mane is like a burning flame, there is a pair of wide flame wings on both ribs, and the ponytail is also a dazzling long tail flame. The horse's head and eyes are as dark as ink, emitting a wisp of foggy shadow energy.
Bolchi has half of the bloodline of the Golden Dragon, and the Golden Dragon is good at transforming techniques, but it is rarely used.
This is his "golden scale sky horse" form.
Renn's soul eye had long seen through Bolchi's transformation ability. The body of the three-headed golden dragon is too large. It is inconvenient to mount in non-combat states, and the golden scale horse is the most suitable mount form.
In the past, Borchi refused him harshly, and even using the Soul Control Circle to force him to not bow his head.
Until recently.
Borchi followed Mrs. Xia Lanwei to do business, but somehow he was fooled by the steel dragon. In just a few years, he invested in many projects. Not only did he lose all his money, he owed Mrs. Xia Lanwei a lot of debts, more than one million gold shields. All the treasures he left was not enough to pay off the debt.
Now Borch is so poor that he dares not pay any debts, so he can only ask for Renn.
After Renn asked, he found that this foolish dragon was definitely cheated by Mrs. Xia Lanwei.
He didn't understand business routines at all, nor did he have any talent for doing business. He didn't know that he was cheated and thought that he was not lucky and had implicated Mrs. Xia Lanwei. I'm sorry for her, and she just wanted to make money and pay off her debts.
Rennes did not expose Mrs. Xia Lanwei's scam.
He lent Bolchi million gold shields to pay off his debts, then took the money back from Mrs. Xia Lanwei. Without spending a penny, he became Bolchi's creditor and then took the opportunity to make a request.
The power of money finally made the arrogant dragon bow.
Renn rode on the golden scale horse.
The steady and generous horseback was very comfortable to sit. When his legs touched his abdomen, he didn't have to make a sound, Bolchi understood his intention to move his four hooves and walked out of the cabin under the arch of the extreme warrior.
There are already many people looking forward to the airship outside.
Rennes, who was riding on the horse, looked around, and the extreme warriors stopped controlling the Kodo beast. There was an excellently equipped extraordinary man around, with about a hundred people, all riding on war horses, forming a tall queue to separate the crowds in the take-off and landing field to watch the fun.
They wore the same silver armor, a blue cloak on their backs, a crown-shaped badge on their chests, and a magical spear in their hands, majestic.
Rick Guards!
This extraordinary legion is the oldest legion in the empire. It was founded by the Elpha Empire and served as the emperor's personal bodyguard. They played a key role in many major events in the history of the empire, especially the inheritance process of the throne, where the imperial guards will always be present.
Now the Rick Guard is the ruling guard, whose status has declined, but its strength has not diminished.
As soon as Rennes came out, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"His Excellency Glamorgan!"
A middle-aged man wearing an imperial official robe stepped forward. He was about forty years old and average in strength. He was just a mid-level warlock. But he knew he was a nobleman at a glance, with impeccable appearance, and a warm smile on his face. He introduced himself: "I am Amber Hud, the acting consul, welcome the Count to Northreil."
Renn nodded and responded: "Thank you for your enthusiasm, Baron Hurd comes to greet you."
Baron Hud was a civilian, and was appreciated by Gneus at a young age and was appointed as the Minister of Home Affairs.
The Minister of the Interior, Minister of Military Affairs and Minister of Finance are one of the three major thrones in the cabinet, and are in charge of many affairs such as the imperial security, transportation, and devil eradication. He is a high position and power. Amber Hud is one of Gneus's absolute confidants and has a very high status.
Gneus sent him to greet him, which shows his importance to him.
"Northriel is looking forward to seeing the style of the Count. Today I am very honored to welcome the consul on his behalf." Amber said skillfully, "I have arranged a residence for the Count and your subordinates in the best 'Feinpafen Hotel' in Northrail. Please go and rest. The consul will welcome the Count in the 'Lord Palace' at the 'Ho Palace' in the evening."
While he was speaking, Renn observed the other person with the eyes of the soul.
Although Amber was very calm on the surface, his constant changing soul color means that his emotions were not calm at the moment, and he was full of curiosity and anxiety about himself.
Renn smiled, "Okay, please lead the way."
"please!"
Amber turned around and made a gesture to the centurion of the Rick Guard. It was a legendary guard who immediately received orders to command the guards to open the way. Half of the guards were in front, Renn and the ultimate warriors were in the middle, Amber rode a horse and walked with Renn, and the remaining guards were behind the temple.
The ground shook, and the team ran out of the airship takeoff and landing field in a mighty manner.
When the Imperial Guard disappeared on the street, the crowds watching the fun around him were in an uproar and there was a lot of discussion.
"The goddess is here, the one just now is Earl of Glamorgan!"
"Who else can it be if it's not him?"
"Your Excellency the Consul actually sent Baron Hurd to the take-off and landing field to greet him, and there was also a 100-man guard guard to protect him. This Count is so majestic!"
"Yes...he's still so young..."
"Don't you find it strange?" Someone touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "It's been five years since Count Glamorgan became a member of the Empire. He has been to Northril for the first time, and he has been so high-profile that he has put on such a big formation..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the people around him changed slightly.
Northrier was the political center of the empire. From nobles to civilians, they were keen on discussing politics. They could tell a few words about finding someone on the street. Therefore, the political sensitivity was far higher than that of the people outside the capital, and some people immediately guessed some of the truth.
Wherever the Imperial Guards and Extreme Warriors passed, cars and pedestrians on the streets avoided them and then cast a surprise look.
These whispers came from the sound of everything into Ryan's ears, causing the corners of his mouth to rise slightly.
"The people of the imperial capital are very good at talking." Renn said lightly.
Amber, who was following along the side of his horse, immediately responded, and smiled: "This is one of the hobbies of the residents of Northreil. It is close to the center of rights and will inevitably be affected. If the Count hears any malicious words, please don't take them to heart. They just say it and enjoy their appetite."
Renn nodded.
The streets of Northrell are very wide, generally similar to Mo. They gradually approach the center of the city. Some surrounding buildings begin to have traces of time, revealing vicissitudes and thickness, which is awe-inspiring.
The take-off and landing ground is located in the south-central part of Northrell, not far from the consul's residence.
A few miles away, you can see a huge and ancient castle, located in the center of Northrier, facing north and south, covering a vast area. It has many palaces, towers and gardens inside, just like a city in the city, which is the world-famous "Fuberden Castle".
This huge castle with a history of 2,400 years is filled with hundreds of buildings, with a huge scale. The core is a magnificent palace community called "Rick Palace", which is the source of the name of the Rick Guards.
