Volume 3 The Storm of the Royal Capital Part I Chapter 42 Going to the Banquet

"This archbishop is indeed a cunning old fox. After a moment, Petrat suddenly spoke, and his strange voice was thick and indescribably sharp.

"Hmph, not only cunning, that old fox is also vile and greedy, and hides himself deeply. ”

"Now that you know what happened behind that, why didn't you kill him?"

"He's hiding too deeply, and we need conclusive evidence to give an account to the followers of the Origin Goddess, otherwise it will cause unnecessary trouble, big trouble. ”

"I can make him disappear without a sound, and no one will know who did it. ”

"Calm down, it's not time yet, besides, that old fox still has a lot of use. ”

As the archbishop's figure walked farther and farther, the ornate hall was gradually filled with hatred and murderous intent......

Speechless, he walked out of the magnificent royal palace temple.

With a cool breeze blowing, Archbishop Guise gently took off his high hat, looked up at the palace city that was quietly suspended in the air, lowered his head, and got into his carriage.

"Hehehe, it seems that Kara III is really a reckless man, and he has not even found out that you are the archbishop who sent someone to do it. ”

The carriage moved forward unhurriedly, and in the middle of the carriage, from the shadow of Guise suddenly came the strange voice of a woman who could only be heard by Archbishop Guise.

"You underestimate Your Majesty too much, he just looks like a reckless man on the surface. ”

"You mean, he knows everything?"

With the pretentious voice, another figure emerged from the shadows beneath Guise's feet, a dark and hollow, graceful and eerie woman's shadow.

The shadow wrapped around Guise's body and embraced the archbishop's head, and the dark shadow turned into a graceful and charming beauty.

"There's no time to spend time right now, the train is almost there, so help me bring Jaenyres to the underground altar of the Sanctuary of Light. Remember, don't be discovered. ”

"What about Harrant's sister and the slave soldier?"

"Since Your Majesty is anxious to see them, let's let them go for the time being. ”

"Hehehe, yes, but don't forget your promises, you have faith and power, but you are still greedy and despicable humans. ”

With a creepy and delicate voice, he let go of the archbishop after turning back into a figure again, and leaned back, and the shadow disappeared into the shadows of the roadside in a blink of an eye......

A quiet and green village, a beautiful forest where birds sing along a small river, a steam convoy parked by the roadside, a classical manor surrounded by flowers and shrubs isolated in the fields, and a childish child who does not know what to produce and play in the fields next to it.

Along the way, it's hard to imagine the scenery that passes by the railway, a country that has just been ruthlessly annexed by its neighbors with the help of demons, and is about to face a great war again.

The train slowly pulls into the Wangdu North Station, which is located on the north side of the outer city of Birona.

Stepping out of the carriage, the crowded and busy platform contrasts with the freshness and comfort of the city.

Together with the "genius mage" Jim, the "wolf" Sirpono, the fat Hal, and the one-eyed werewolf Krupa, Count Harrant, who had been waiting outside the station, couldn't help but be happy to see his little sister safe and sound.

Everyone rode in a carriage or on a horse, chatting all the way through the middle city checkpoint and came to the outside of the royal mansion where Harrant and others lived.

Although there are already all kinds of mechanical vehicles, flying ships, and magic mechas, in this huge royal capital, people's main means of transportation is still mainly horse-drawn carriages.

This "Royal Mansion" is a very magnificent building in the city of Gallona, which is dedicated to receiving princes, nobles, wealthy merchants and celebrities. It is located one block away from the "Royal Embassy", which is used to receive foreign envoys, and is surrounded by a large number of commercial, dining and entertainment facilities.

Everyone was about to enter the mansion, and from far and near, with the roar of the motor, they saw a group of about thirty or forty heavy armored cavalry, surrounded by a huge iron wheel, dragging a "unicycle" with smoke all the way galloping away.

In mid-air, above the head of the huge mechanical unicycle, a snow-white flying winged war dragon with two horns on its head and silver armor and white scales on its back was carrying a blonde girl who was not very old, wearing light armor, and seemed to be in a pretty good mood......

At ten o'clock in the evening, Harant took Karen, Leon, Suzu and Sangil, who was inseparable from the little girl, accompanied by Archbishop Guise, to the palace sanctuary located in the huge mountains of the inner city, to meet the lord of the Sloveian kingdom, Kara III.

Under the boundless night, the silver moonlight sprinkled over the majestic mountains where many magnificent buildings were located, reflecting the quietly flickering starry sky and the light of gorgeous and solemn fire candles, the momentum was decisive and beautiful.

After winding up the mountain, I don't know how many tunnels I passed, and after crossing several covered bridges, several heavily guarded carriages finally stopped in front of a magnificent palace complex.

"This is the largest complex of buildings in Pirona, the Imperial Palace, which is not only the place where His Majesty lives, but also the place where His Majesty and the princes and ministers discuss court affairs and state affairs. Stepping out of the ornate but solemn and grand royal carriage, Harant stood with his head held high and opened his mouth to introduce.

"Wow, Leon Leone, it's the first time for Xiaoling to go to the palace, it's so beautiful, so magnificent!"

The little girl's eyes flashed with indescribable excitement in the face of this huge palace complex that completely submerged herself in the air of nobility.

"It's really magnificent, this is the core of power in this country, right?" asked Leon.

Although he was indifferent on the surface at this time, Leon was already surrounded by an aura full of coercion in his heart, and this aura did not only come from this magnificent royal building.

"That's right, the core of the core. Karlen preemptively said before Harrant.

"Karen is right, this is indeed the heart of the country's imperial power, the core of the regime. ”

"What about the Sky Island up there?" asked as soon as Harrant finished speaking, Leon looked up and looked at the Sky Island that was obviously a few laps smaller than the Sky City Teian floating above the mountain full of buildings, statues, and strange rocks and giant trees.

"It was the palace city, and since twenty years ago, unless there are special circumstances, only the king and members of the direct royal family can go up, and even I, the archbishop, have only had the privilege of going up twice in the past twenty years. Oh, Count Harlant, Miss Karen, what about you?" said Archbishop Guise with a smile on his face as he got out of the car and straightened his hat.

"Worthy of the archbishop," Harant said, glancing at Karen, then taking a deep breath, "Our brother and sister are not as lucky as you. ”

"Hahaha, don't talk about this, Your Majesty is anxious, he has told the old man before, there is no need to pass through, just go to the Star Sea Palace. Guise whispered, leading the way, stepping into a huge arch carved out of a single piece of marble.

"Okay, let's go. ”

Harant answered, leading the others into the room.

The order had already been received, the heavily armed royal guards did not stop it, and the griffin hidden in the corner did not make any sound, and everyone went all the way unhindered, and soon arrived at the Xinghai Hall located on the northwest side of the Yizheng Palace.

In the solemn and somewhat warm and elegant Xinghai Palace, candlelight is reflected.

By this time, King Sloveia, Doug Hayes Carra, and Queen Elian had already taken their seats.

Sitting at that splendid table were the eldest son of Carla III, Prince Doron, who looked unremarkable, Winter, the last son of Winter, who was burly and muscular, but looked like he was missing a string, the second daughter Beludi, who was gentle and dignified, beautiful and generous, and the little princess Claris, who was a little ghost and full of curiosity at first glance.

And behind Carla III, there is still the "Demon Star" Petrat who is dressed in black gold armor and a silver mask, and is regarded by many as the "Demon God" of Kara III.

Apart from these people and a handful of attendants and maids, there was no one else in the hall.

After the ceremony, everyone was seated, and sweet wine and sumptuous dishes were quickly served.

During the feast, Kara III behaved with great enthusiasm and boldness, as if he had long since come out of the grief of losing his son. And he didn't talk too much about the topic of Sky City, which was very different from what Leon and Xiaoling imagined.

Queen Elion didn't say much, but her conversation and demeanor were elegant, dignified, and luxurious.

There is also Princess Belloti, who looks like the queen, but vaguely, her eyes always seem to stop on Harrant's body, as if she is attracted by a magnet.

Prince Duolun, who doesn't seem to have anything special, toasts and entertains with his father's wishes, and chats about some topics from time to time that don't hurt or itch, giving people an awkward feeling throughout the whole process.

The other prince was much more casual, so casual that he only knew how to eat and drink, and there was no one around. Occasionally, when he says something, his voice is still loud, and he can't see the etiquette and cultivation that the royal family should have.

As for the little princess Claris, who had just turned fifteen, she seemed to be particularly interested in the city in the sky, and asked endless questions more than the king, and at first glance she was a simple and curious child.

Finally, Kara III brings the conversation back to Teian, the "city in the sky".

Leon and Karin threw out the lies they had already made, and told Kara III and the others quite tacitly and skillfully that after defeating the "Tyrannosaurus Rex" Baal, the city in the sky suddenly disappeared, and they were also teleported to a mountain in the distance. Later, he was rescued by Rin Dong and others who drove by in a flying boat before he was able to return to Sloveia, and then came here.

"Explorers from the East? Interesting, I must meet them in person if I have the chance. In his words, Kara III didn't seem to suspect anything, which made Leon and the others even more uneasy.

At the end of the banquet, it was late at night, and the cold night wind was shuttling between the various buildings in the rolling hills. Under the light of the stars and moon, he ran and played happily like an unrestrained child.

Towards the end of the feast, it is learned from the fireflies that a group of mysterious people have sneaked into the Noah, apparently conducting a secret search of the old-looking airship.

Regardless of whether any of the cabins or facilities have been unlocked or not, there is no Firefly authorization as the "core", and there will be nothing special in anyone's eyes, except for Leon.

"How is it, Firefly, haven't they left yet?" asked Leon in his heart, who had left the palace temple and was sitting in the carriage.

"Master, the infiltrators are assembling fifteen people in all, no secrets have been discovered, and judging by Firefly, they will leave soon. ”

"Okay, what about the dragon soul reaction, has it been located in the exact location? ”

"Yes, master. ”

"Huh, where is it?"

"According to the sensing positioning, the dragon soul was in the palace temple just now, and it was very close to you, but now it has left. ”

"Why didn't you say it earlier, the archbishop?" Hearing Firefly's words, Li Ang was shocked for a moment, and immediately thought of Archbishop Guise......
