Chapter 566: Back to the City

The imperial capital of Montenegro has been bustling lately, at least as it seems.

The gate of the majestic imperial capital will be shuttled by people at all times, commoners, merchants, and nobles...... Even envoys from various countries and ethnic groups, which are rarely seen in ordinary times, abound at this time.

Although anyone thinks that the current empire is in a state of turmoil and even crumbling, it "once" was the largest human country on the continent with the largest land area, the most fertile land, and the largest population. Although this pride has also ceased to exist after the rebellion of the Duchy of Cool Bear, and the fact that the other two human kingdoms continue to take advantage of the opportunity to encroach on the disputed territories on the Empire's borders. But the emaciated camel is also bigger than the horse, and the current empire is still an existence that those small and medium-sized countries must look up to, not to mention that this time the emperor Durontar made his marriage boiling, and the whole continent knew it, which was even more grand than when he ascended the throne.

In addition, there are three other "big things that are not big things", one is the arms giant that shocked the mainland, the Black City Chamber of Commerce is going to hold the largest arms fair during the wedding of Durontar the Great, the second is the legendary dragon, the seventh-order jade dragon Ysera will be slaughtered and bloodied to reward the task completer, and finally the public execution of the number one peerless beauty in the famous Dota continent, Count Amanda "Beheaded Rose......

These major events are all put together, as if I am afraid that the current imperial capital is not chaotic enough, now it's okay, now it's not just the envoys sent by various kingdoms, as long as they are slightly interested in one of these things, they are all gathered in the Black Mountain Castle at this time, and the dragon and snake are not enough to describe how chaotic the imperial capital at this time is.

On the one hand, they have to feel very depressed about the burden of more than ten times heavier security tasks, but at the same time, they also have the opportunity to obtain a hundred times more oil and water than usual.

There is no need to mention those businessmen who come and go, they have always been the main source of income for the city defense army. As for the civilians, although the oil and water squeezed out individually is small, as long as the quantity is large enough and they are not afraid of trouble, they can still knock a lot. But now the biggest source of oil and water is those middle and lower class aristocrats who are gradually declining.

Under the reign of the Emperor Durontal, although I have not heard of how many civilians have been killed, the total number of middle and lower nobles has been reduced by almost two-fifths. This is a rather frightening number, meaning that a large number of famous families that can trace back hundreds of years ago have been cut off by this tyrant. And the first beauty of the imperial capital played a key role in it, and countless noble heads were cut off by his own hands, which also made him gain the "reputation" of "beheading rose". This time, the Emperor wants to publicly execute Count Amanda, in addition to the popular belief that it is the Emperor's empathy, the most convincing theory is that Durontar had to sacrifice his "beloved" in order to appease the increasingly irrepressible anger in the aristocratic circle. But in order to save face, he will marry his new love immediately.

Despite this, those small and medium-level nobles in the empire were still frightened by Durontal the Great, and almost all of them in Black Mountain City had been killed, while those nobles who lived outside the imperial capital usually hid as far as they could, and would never set foot in the imperial capital until they had to. However, now it is the emperor's wedding, and no nobleman can avoid this "catastrophe", regardless of status, as long as there is a "knight" in the title, one has to come to the emperor to congratulate the emperor, and the first difficulty faced by these nobles is the difficulty of the city gate guards.

"Cut...... I just received so much today, and the wedding of the emperor is getting closer and closer, and everyone who should have come has already come, and it seems that our income will only get less and less in the future. ”

"It doesn't matter, these people have come in, and they still have to go out again, and we can make another payment when the time comes. ”

"I think you better prepare for some bad things, after Count Amanda is beheaded in public, the emperor will change his attitude if he doesn't get it right, and pay attention to those middle and lower nobles again, and then how can their dignified nobles take us little shrimp in their eyes. ”

"That's true, so don't we have to take advantage of this opportunity and make another one. Hey, you see, there's another big wagon, it looks like it's an aristocratic style, and our wallets are about to bulge again!"

"Wait! If you look closely, the carriage doesn't seem to have a family crest? Could it be a rich businessman? And there seems to be something behind it......

"No matter how much he has, let's knock on it first!"

When the carriage approached, the coachman took the initiative to hand over a small bag of gold coins, and this was the cost of entering the city at the level of the rich merchant's convoy, the soldier took the money bag, checked it in his hand, and showed a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth, he didn't even bother to do the fixed cargo inspection, so he wanted to wave his hand and let the convoy pass, but a reprimand came from behind.

"Wait for me!"

Everyone looked, and saw a middle-aged general walking lazily over with figure-eight steps, he was the person in charge of this city gate, but he rarely showed up, hiding in the lounge and drinking black tea leisurely is his job, those hard work and dirty work of extorting gold coins are naturally not his turn to go out in person, and someone will naturally send his share respectfully every day.

But at this time, the city gate guard didn't know if it was too boring, came out for a walk, and happened to encounter the scene in front of him, his eyes swept over the carriage, and suddenly sneered: "I know this carriage, doesn't it belong to the famous Huwen family? Why did you even tear down the family crest? That's the greatest honor of the nobles, isn't it?"

Humiliated in front of him like this, a trace of panic flashed on the face of the old coachman, who was long overdue for retirement, and his eyes couldn't help but look at the carriage behind him, obviously not knowing what to do now.

"Removing the family crest without permission is a violation of the laws of the empire, although no one seems to have done it before, and almost everyone forgets that there is such a rule, but fortunately, Lao Tzu has just been relearning this aspect recently. Sure enough, it came in handy......"

The Admiral took out a brand new roll of parchment, which was a copy of the Imperial Law, and it was obvious that he was going to re-learn these waste paper laws that few nobles had taken seriously for a long time in order to better blackmail those low-ranking nobles.

In the carriage, Goron reached out and pressed Michelle, who was about to get off the carriage, and said softly: "You are the patriarch of the Huwen family, if those guys really take out the imperial laws to talk about things, it will be even worse for you to show up." I'll take care of it here. ”

Of course, Michelle didn't expect Golon's concerns, although she didn't have much expectations for Golon's social skills, she still nodded helplessly.

At this time, there were three people sitting in the carriage, except for the little ogre and her aunt Michelle, but there was also a goblin sitting next to it?

That's right, it's the weakest and most hateful humanoid creature on the continent, the goblin.

Goron pulled the reluctant goblin next to him and jumped out of the carriage, and walked towards the gate guard, the guard's eyes suddenly lit up, because what he saw was a beautiful "girl", although her clothes were a little neutral, and her breasts were too flat, but the unique temperament and clothing accessories were perfectly integrated, transforming these characteristics into endless charm, not to mention men, even women would swallow saliva when they saw the little ogre at this time.

That's right, at this time, Goron switched back to the posture of the mysterious beautiful boy who had caused a sensation in the imperial capital for several days, Golia Huwen.

"This lord, I am the envoy of the Huwen family, and the one next to me is the deputy head of the 'Troll Mercenary Group', Black Fang Dirty Gun. The Troll Mercenary Regiment has been hired by our Huwen family and has become our family's temporary guard, and I am going out of the city to fetch them, you see, this is the formality. ”

The goalkeeper was awakened by Goron's words, or rather, by the name "Huwen". When he saw Golon's little face that had brought disaster to the country and the people again, he couldn't help but take two steps back, as if he was afraid of being glued to bad luck.

But hate is hate, but there is nothing more suitable for extortion than the current "Huwen" family, especially when he is still caught.

Thinking of this, a sinister smile appeared on the face of the guard, and he reached out to take the relevant procedures handed over by Golon, this is a blank contract that Michelle has already prepared, and it can be used by filling in the content temporarily, and the guard will naturally not see any flaws. However, he didn't plan to make a fuss about it, so he just glanced at it casually and returned it.

He looked at the convoy following behind the carriage, and sure enough, he saw that the carriages were full of piles of goblins "stacked" together, and he didn't know how many cars were crowded, like sardine dishes, and he couldn't help laughing when he saw this: "Hahaha...... It's really pulling a group of goblins, to what extent has the limit of your Huwen family been lowered, and you would hire such a group of green-skinned rats to protect yourself, and also, what kind of 'troll mercenary group', what kind of noble guards, do you want everyone in this city to laugh to death to be happy?"

It's no wonder that the guard laughs like this, the goblin looks very similar to the goblin, and even has a lot in common, such as green skin, short stature, big chattering voice, ugly appearance, etc. Legend has it that both modern goblins and goblins are descendants of the ancient goblin dynasty that created a miraculous civilization in ancient times.

But compared to those goblin merchants who are naturally cunning and sharp, but can mingle with other races, these goblins have no merit in them. They are intellectually low, ugly and dirty, and even more savage, with little physical strength, but with an almost pathological fanaticism for violence, killing, plunder, and destruction.
