On the wide boulevard, a horse-drawn carriage came slowly. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In Todder, road construction is an important branch of architecture, and all countries have specialized academies and are open to the general public, because most of the work in road construction can be done by ordinary people who are not professionals:

They first used large magic machinery to open the roadbed, then used machinery to mine neat feldspar in the nearest quarry, which was used to stagger the relatively smooth road surface after a series of carving, grinding and soaking, and finally poured an even layer of black sol configured by the alchemist on the stone surface, which would become extremely tough enough to carry all kinds of heavy vehicle vehicles after solidification.

As a country with a long history, Lothar has accumulated a variety of infrastructure, especially after approaching the royal capital, the road is getting wider and wider, and there are tall and ancient netting trees growing on both sides of the road, which are said to be cultivated by the elves, not only the canopy is dense and shady and windproof, but the root system is connected to each other in the depths, which can cover the entire roadbed like a net, so that even the heavy rain can not cause the slightest damage to the road.

Ed rode the carriage as he looked at the wide boulevard in amazement.

As Baron Pike's butler servant, he didn't go out much often, and every time he saw such a prosperous scene near the royal capital, he couldn't help but think that there was such a bright boulevard around Harriet Harbor, otherwise on a summer afternoon like today, if he accompanied the lord to the surrounding villages to patrol around, he would often be half sunburned.

But why did the lord suddenly want to come to the royal capital of Lothar, Ed thought to himself. It's been a long time since he's seen Master Pike go out of town, huh...... It's been a long time, and I remember that the last time the old man left the southern border of Lothar, he was still a young master, and at that time he was still a stunned and reckless young man, and he knew all day long that he was wandering around the girls in the town.

How long has it been since this blink of an eye...... Ed sighed with emotion.

"The old brother in front of you is troublesome to step aside—" he shouted.

The man in front of him didn't know what he was doing, but he noticed this man standing on the avenue from a long distance, and waited until he came to the man slowly in a carriage, and the man was still standing on the avenue. Fortunately, he wanted to let the old man rest for a while and didn't let the carriage run, otherwise he would have hit this person if he couldn't say it.

"The old brother in front, please let go. He called out again.

At this distance, Ed had already recognized the man's outfit, a white robe that was a life sacrifice no matter how it looked. If he usually sees him, Ed will have to call him an adult, and if this person is in a daze in the middle of the road and ignores himself, then he will have to take the initiative to bypass, but now he represents Lord Pike, the nobleman of Lothar, even in front of the professional, he can't be humble, otherwise he will lose his own face.

After a while, seeing that the other party ignored him, Ed could only helplessly pull the reins on the left, preparing to go around from the side, if it weren't for the fact that this person was a lot older than him, and his beard was spent on a piece, he would have to talk to the other party.

But the man suddenly took another step to the side.

Ed shouted and tried to hold the horse, glaring at the man angrily.

How could anyone take the initiative to hit the carriage?

Seeing that this person is old and still wearing the clothes of a life sacrifice, could it be that he is a fraudster?

Although most of the people are relatively simple except for the adventurers, Ed has also heard that in prosperous places, there are a few idle old men who rely on a large number of old men who are old enough to crash into the carriages of nobles or wealthy merchants, pretend to be injured and then squeak up from the ground to ask the nobles for compensation, and those nobles who are troublesome will send some money to the Temple of Life to see.

It's just that this situation is extremely rare, Ed usually listens to it as a joke, but today he actually ran into it?

He touched his purse and estimated that he could use a few gold coins to get rid of this unscrupulous old man.

There's no need to bother Mr. Pike about this.

But Ed's body suddenly stiffened, and he noticed that Mr. Pike had actually stepped out of the carriage.

Baron Pike Calland looked the same as he had been a year ago—if he had not been a little fatter, he was now dressed in a dark brown floral silk robe, a Roland's black top hat, a light beard neatly trimmed, and a pair of dark blue eyes slightly squinted.

It looks like people can't help but feel good.

"Sir Wayne, it's a pleasure that you still look so energetic!" Pike complimented, squeezing a very flattering smile on his face, as he took out a gift box from the car, "This is the tendon of your favorite swordfish, which was made by the insider." ”

The white-robed priest also seemed to be deeply frustrated by Pike's appearance, and while receiving the baron's gift, he sighed and said, "Go back, you shouldn't have come here." ”

Pike didn't seem to hear this, and said with a smile, "Come on, get in the car, I haven't been to the temple where you serve for a long time, I just happened to meet you today, why don't you take me for a walk?"

"I'm here to wait for you. "The Sacrifice of Life, known as Wayne, says:

"Say it again, go back, you shouldn't have come here, I'll pull your ears if you don't hear me anymore. ”

"Your Majesty wants to verify the inheritance code and order the patriarchs of all the noble factions in the country to come to the royal capital. Pike immediately covered his ears and said seriously.

"What does this have to do with you. Wayne retorted.

"What are you, the last time I looked at the genealogy of the noble factions of the kingdom, the Callander family was still a member, and it seems that they have not been removed from the list over the years, so I am also the patriarch of this family, and I naturally have to respond to the edict of His Majesty the Regent. Pike laughed.

"You have never been involved in domestic affairs, how can you respond to Your Majesty's edict now, I think you just want to take the opportunity to take a look at Your Highness, right?"

"What does it have to do with His Highness Strayer that I'm here to pick up my own children back to Port Harriet?" said Pike.

"Then you promise to leave the royal capital before the Inheritance Code ceremony?" asked Wayne.

Pike looked at the gray-bearded old man, the smile on his face gradually cooled, and he frowned and muttered, "Even if I plan to stop by to see His Highness, what can I do?"

"I don't care what you heard at the beginning, and I don't care what you think," Wayne said very seriously: "But this kid is that kid, I saw it at the beginning, and Your Majesty has seen it, so what's the difference between you and not?!"

"So I can't even look at it?!" exclaimed the baron, looking a little agitated, "if it is as you say, then this child is Jenny's—"

"That's enough!" Wayne snapped, "Don't forget who you are now!"

"Don't forget who I am!" Pike said angrily, "I'm Your Highness—"

"Silence!" Wayne shouted angrily, and a blinding white light suddenly lit up on his body.

Seeing that Pike was suppressed and unable to speak, and could only gasp, Wayne's expression softened a little, and said, "I don't know what Captain Raymond thinks of you, but everyone knows that you are being publicly watched by the Nature Temple, and many people think that this punishment is too light, so you shouldn't involve others again, especially the matter that only the three of us know about now!"

Then his words softened again: "After so many years, why do you have to come to see that child at this time, what can you do except add trouble?

"I know you don't want to throw Lothar into turmoil. Wayne stared at Pike, the light around him slowly fading away.

Pike also calmed down and said slowly: "I know about that, you know, Your Majesty knows. ”

"So Your Majesty sent you to stop me?" he asked.

Wayne shook his head: "It's not that I don't believe you, but the Temple of Nature wants to monitor you, and I always have to look at you from time to time, for the sake of the previous situation, I didn't stop you from leaving the southern border, until it was confirmed that you were coming to the royal capital of Lothar, and I was forced to show up." It has nothing to do with His Majesty. ”

"How can it be okay?" said the baron's smile returned.

Wayne was stunned.

Pike continued: "If Your Majesty didn't want me to come, how could he send the edict to Harriet Harbor? If Your Majesty didn't want me to come, how could he not include a letter? Your Majesty held this ceremony of inheritance of the Codex, not all to test the Earl of Grey Mountain, but also to let everyone be a witness, after all, there were not many people present at the last ceremony, and the situation was chaotic, and it was natural for some people to have questions. ”

"And to testify about the legitimacy of His Highness's succession to the throne, how can I not be there?" said Pike, grinning, pointing to a cavalry figure speeding down the boulevard, "Then it should be a letter from His Majesty the Regent, asking you to let me pass." ”

After that, Pike didn't linger and stepped straight into the carriage.

"I'll visit you at the temple when I have time, and you'll have to show me around then, Lord Wayne. A relaxed goodbye from Pike was heard in the carriage.

Sure enough, the cavalryman quickly rushed to the front, and he wore the standard military uniform of the royal guard, took out a letterhead with the griffin insignia from his bosom and solemnly handed it to Wayne: "Letter from His Majesty the Regent, please take a look at Your Excellency." ”

"Ed, let's drive, don't rush me to rest for a while. Pike said lightly.

Eddard, who couldn't hear what was going on in the carriage, reacted, hurriedly shouted, pulled the reins to bypass the cavalry and Wayne, and walked slowly in the direction of the royal capital. Only this time the white-robed sacrifice finally stopped stopping the carriage, and he held the opened letter paper in his hand, as if in contemplation.

It wasn't until he had gone far that the old man didn't come to stop him, and Ed was finally convinced that he didn't need to worry about the temple sacrifice anymore. But he still didn't feel reassured.

Although he couldn't understand the argument between Master Pike and the old man just now, he was sure that the old man had just mentioned a name, Jenny. Ed's hand holding the reins trembled slightly, he hadn't heard Miss Jenny's name from the old man for more than a decade, and even those in Port Harriet who liked to talk about tea and bask in the sun would subconsciously avoid it.

Jenny.

This is a name that will make the lord cry.

……

……

The airport outside the royal capital of Lothar is perhaps one of the oldest surviving structures in the country, almost as old as the lighthouse that burned the fire in the royal capital. From the founding of Grand Duke Ian Victor to the present day, this small airport has endured numerous ups and downs and numerous repairs, and still plays an important role in the kingdom's transportation and trade.

After a small twist and turn on the airship, Morin and his party finally arrived at the royal capital of Lothar.

The Earl of Grey Hill made a special trip to Strayer's letter, and Strayer decided to let Osmond read it in public after thinking about it for a long time, and the content of the letter also surprised Morin, in which Count Greenmot frankly admitted that there was a conflict with His Majesty the Regent, but also said that he had no dissenting intentions, but wanted to support Strayer's coronation as soon as possible. The letter also implied that the regent was not pure-minded, that he had controlled His Royal Highness Strayer tightly over the years, that he was arbitrary in everything, and that he was at odds with some aristocratic factions, etc.

It was intended to enlist Strayer to fight against His Majesty the Regent.

However, after listening to Osmond read it from beginning to end, Strayer sneered, expressed disdain, and said in front of the two of them that the Count of Gray Mountain was reprehensible in this way, and that he would resolutely stand by Uncle Wang's side no matter what he wanted to do, and finally resealed the letter and prepared to go back and hand it directly to the Regent.

It will be up to the Earl of Grey Hill to respond to the regent's edict.

Maureen said goodbye to Strayer and Osmond at the airport, and the two invited Morin to stay in the royal capital, wanting to take him on a tour of the royal capital, but the young man declined the invitation of the two, and after Strayer was recognized by more and more people, the royal escort team who got the news finally came to the airport, and finally escorted Strayer from the crowd of salutes, and escorted him back to the palace, and Osmond also lived in the royal capital and walked with him.

The boy wandered around the airport.

Although this airport is pitifully small compared to the giant airport of Sororumi, and it can't even dock too many airships at the same time, it is still the main cargo and commercial vein of Lothar. Many caravans gather here every day, and some of them should be heading to the south, and the homesick Morin is ready to find a caravan that will go directly to Harriet Harbor.

He was inquiring among the caravans.

"You're going to Harriet Port?" asked a middle-aged uncle who looked like a businessman.

"Yes, yes!" replied Morin.

The man looked at the large package that the young man was carrying, hesitated and asked, "Are you a professional?"

Merlin nodded hurriedly, summoning his Transfiguration Evidence to show the others, and showing the second-order mage badge located on the edge of the crystal plate.

The middle-aged uncle took a breath: "The little guy is actually already a second-order mage?!"

After thinking about it, he asked cautiously, "Can you ask...... What are you going to do in Port Harriet?"

He hadn't heard of any famous genius boy in that small place in Harriet Harriet, and there might be something else involved with such a young mage, so it was better to be careful.

"I'll go home......" said Morin.

The young man frowned, and said a little angrily: "My old man who is full of nonsense, I want to rush back and pull his beard!"

Before the words fell, the young man suddenly felt a pain in his buttocks, and the whole person flew forward like a goose falling on the flat sand.

At the same time, a familiar voice sounded behind him:

"Yo he! I haven't seen you for a year, and you dare to say bad things about your father and me in front of others?!"
