Chapter 8: Arrival in Lucerne

"Anyway, Claire, why are you coming along. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoIf we both escape, who will be able to cover for me at Icewind Castle!"

Unlike Erosa, which is located in the northwest of the empire, the Duchy of Icewind in the northeast is a long and narrow duchy along the coastline of the Endless Sea. As a result, the air currents in the sky change frequently throughout the year due to the cold snaps and monsoons in the far north.

As for how frequent, just look at Charlotte's facial muscles trembling in the wind while sitting on the dragon.

By the way, although the name has the word dragon that is very powerful at first glance, in fact, the flying dragon is not a dragon, nor is it a subspecies of dragons, it is just a fairly good magical beast. An adult wyvern is about 3 meters long and has a wing width of about 5 meters. The shape resembles that of a monitor lizard with wings, except that their lower limbs are longer and more powerful.

"Can you really tell who summoned the wyvern sitting under your ass? If it weren't for me, would you still want to get to Lucerne before sunset today?

Claire retorted expressionlessly to Charlotte who crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and to some extent inherited Iger's mantle, he was a very powerful summoner. Of course, that's what he calls himself, and in fact there are quite a few people who already call him the next undead master of Icewind Castle behind his back.

Charlotte listened to him with kindness, and when the transparent protection method was added, the oncoming cold wind was suddenly cut off, and Charlotte's face returned to normal. It's just that his already messy silver hair has stood unyieldingly on his scalp, and he looks as sharp as the legendary Super Saiyan.

"Teacher, I have a question, why do we have to rush to Lucerne?"

Lolita, a young girl, has been cheering and making noise since she got on the Wyvern, a stark contrast to Vivien, who is pale and dizzy behind her. It wasn't until she lost interest in high-altitude travel that she remembered to ask her teacher this question.

In fact, although Claire gave her unconditional help after learning that Charlotte was rushing to Lucerne, she did not have the same doubts in his heart.

"That's a good question! We're going to save a cute and tsundere girl, and by the way, we can also get together with old friends who have been separated for many years!"

"Isn't it completely unrelated to outdoor teaching!Teacher, you shouldn't be some suspicious human trafficker!"

Claire and Eagle Scepter spoke in unison.

"Bah! Just your two taels of meat, even if you sell it to human traffickers, it's not worth a few pancakes, who will be full enough to do this thankless job!"

"Oh oh, is it worth a few pancakes......?

Drooling, Elle lay on Charlotte's shoulder, looking at Lolita intently with her shiny red pupils, and her stupid appearance made the overly lively Lolita shiver.

"Uh, uh, I have another question, is the beautiful sister on the eleventh floor of the Tower of the Supreme the illegitimate son who inherited the title of Grand Duke eight years ago? But I heard that the Grand Duke was not a puppet in Icewind Castle? But why did Dema and Lord Dinah respect her so much!"

Feeling the inexplicable chill, Lolita cleverly changed the subject, and asked the doubts that had been left in the Supreme Tower by the way.

Charlotte was slightly stunned, he looked back at the two little Loli sitting on the wyvern walking side by side with him, and found that even Vivien, who had always been timid, showed bright eyes. He smiled, and before he could speak, Claire had already answered Lolita's question in advance.

"It's not time to tell you about this, but remember, Lord Sylvia is the de facto ruler of Icewind Castle. Well, without further ado, the Wyvern is going to land. ā€

Vivien gave a slightly regretful look, and Lolita pouted with unhappiness on her face. But soon, they were attracted to the huge city in front of them.

Looking ahead from the sky, the city of Lucerne looks like a giant ring. The outermost ring of the ring is the smoky village, and when you look through the tall gray-white walls, you will notice that the buildings inside change in a circle, the closer you get to the core, the more beautiful the buildings are, on the contrary, the outermost circle of the market looks a little chaotic.

Even though it was approaching evening, Lucerne was still crowded, and from above down, the entire market was dark, and countless humans were busy in their huge nests like industrious ants.

It was a scenery that was difficult to see in the relatively sparsely populated Icewind Castle Principality, and although it was disorderly, the geographical climate and high popularity of the more southern Icewind Castle Principality made the junior apprentices born in the Icewind Castle Principality feel a different kind of charm, which was called the warm and noisy customs. Large-scale trading, various underground markets, and a mixed social atmosphere all form a huge contrast to the orderly Icewind Castle.

The sexually cheerful Lolita is like a fish returning to the sea, she stands on the back of the wyvern and pulls the reins, screaming with excitement like a real dragon knight. The wyvern fell to the ground at a 40-degree angle, and the thrill of this thrill made her face redden. As for Vivien, who was behind her, her face was as pale as a statue.

"This kid really looks like you when you were a kid, Charlotte. Well, retract the preface, I should say that it looks like you......"

Claire tugged at the corners of her mouth and changed her words, and before his eyes, Charlotte shouted with joy as if she had been aroused by Lolita's childlike innocence. It seems that because of returning to his homeland, he no longer has the crazy appearance of Frankenstein in the magic experiments of the past, but is like a very competitive child, a backflip pulls the tail of the wyvern, and enjoys a different kind of excitement in the action of the wyvern impatiently shaking its long tail.

Elle also looked around his neck, let out a happy scream, the air surge, the dragon's tail flickered, but this did not affect Charlotte's movements, he was like a beast trainer who had been in the industry for many years, firmly pulling the scales of the dragon's tail, swaying in the atmosphere with the frequency of the former.

"Really, really really, are you really a mage? Teacher, teacher, please teach me this!"

"Unless you're a genius like me, you'll never learn this hand, stupid mortal!

Yes, it's not much of a magic trick. Don't forget, in addition to her sorcery, Charlotte was also a member of the glorious Clayderman family before that. Over the years, even if he neglected physical exercise, his excellent bloodline strength still advanced his warrior level to the third ring. It's just that since then, his physical fitness has not improved.

After the madness, several people fell on the official road thousands of kilometers away from the city wall. When they reached the gate of the city, the guards, who had witnessed the amazing appearance, immediately nervously raised their halberds to their chests. The merchants who were waiting to enter the city for review also looked at these young men dressed as mages with curiosity and fear.

"Slow, slow!"

A young man dressed in an officer's half-armor took a few steps, looking like he should be a minor noble disciple, and although he looked nervous, he still had the proper etiquette to face the mage.

"Several spellcasters, though suspected of offense. However, please also show proof of your identity. ā€

"When did Lucerne City check so strictly, maybe you should take a look at this thing!"

Charlotte took a step forward and pointed to the Mithril ornament embroidered on the white mage's robes, which contained three overlapping six-pointed stars in the shape of an ellipse, with a solid circle in the center. The three ovals represent the emblem of Icewind Castle, and the physical circle in the middle indicates the identity of the Inner Ring Mage Council.

In addition, Charlotte's badge is very different, his badge is embroidered with a gold thread on the outer circle of the six-pointed star, which represents the identity of the Grand Duke of Icewind Castle.

Lucerne in my memory as an open commercial city, but never before has there been such strict entry into the city. So curious, Charlotte had to show her badge in order to be eligible to enter the city.

"Sorry, Lord, Master, because our Grand Duke Ewen and the Silver Dragon Princess Vivien Leigh have recently arrived in this city, so they are more vigilant than before...... Wait, wait, this, this is ......"

The young officer was indeed a nobleman, and only the children of the nobles would be forced by the family to learn the kind of heraldry that was so complicated that Charlotte still had a headache to see. This is no joke, in the San Lorenzo Empire heraldry is a must for nobles, if you don't understand the coat of arms and offend the powerful or make jokes, you will definitely be laughed at by the rest of the nobles.

Therefore, the officer's next reaction was also a matter of course. He immediately fell to his knees and presented Charlotte with the formality of a vassal's treatment of his lord.

"Ademar, the city guard, has seen the Grand Duke of Icewind, may Lord Charlotte Clayderman be forever basked in the glory of Sage Claudine!

This guy looks honest, but he's actually a clever guy. He believed that Charlotte's succession to the title of Grand Duke of Icewind Castle was another classic political maneuver by Lawrence, Archduke of Erossa, and he imagined that one day the Duchy of Icewind would be incorporated into the territory of the Duchy of Erosa. When the time comes, it will not be a dream to gather the power of the entire north, even to overthrow the royal rule of the San Lorenzo Empire.

If it is really as he thinks, if he can win the favor of this big man with his performance today, won't his future career be smooth? Maybe one day he can get an earl, or even a grand duke!
