Chapter 45: Into the City

The civilians at the gate of the city shouted the greatest cheers to Leluxiu, and then disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, it is one thing to be happy in their hearts, and it is another thing to have something to do with their own safety and stable life, everyone knows what will happen to Leluxiu's approach in the next days, Leluxiu is also a nobleman no matter how he says, even if he wants to kill, it will not be so casual, but they are not the same civilians, so soon, the originally crowded north gate became empty.

This scene made Nevsky can't help but scold his mother:

"Grandma, why are these Imperial Capital people all soft bones? We just killed some orcs, aren't we helping them get angry?"

Although Nevsky didn't know what these orcs were doing, judging by the cheers of the civilians, these orcs were more than innocent.

Not too many people heard Nevsky's scolding, and Lelouch only smiled slightly after hearing it, looking at the empty streets, Lelouch didn't say anything, the civilians were doing the right thing, if the civilians were still willing to stay at this time, then either the Terrans had defeated Mordor, or it was not far from the war between the two sides, at present, it seems that the people at the bottom do not support fighting Mordor, and the most radical ones are only verbally supporting.

Lelouch didn't care about the people around him, and didn't even take a look at the half-orcs who were not dead on the ground, he still walked towards the center of the city, according to the introduction of the sentinel, Leluxiu, a nobleman who came to the imperial capital because of something, would have a place to stay in the reception hotel in the inner city.

All of a sudden, the crisp sound of horseshoes hitting the floor remained in the originally noisy streets, and there was only a line of white knights on the quiet streets.

However, Lelouch was not worried that no one would see him, because Lelouch knew that his approach to entering the city had attracted enough attention, and Lelouch could almost feel that behind every house, there were countless pairs of eyes hidden, looking at himself who had become famous during this time, there were nobles and commoners, nobles may have complexity, and commoners had obvious joy and expectation.

With the message that Lelouch defeated the orcs and liberated the human race, there was also a change in the lives of the people of Limburg, although the lives of those people can only be regarded as barely the same as the citizens of the imperial capital, (citizens, not civilians) But the miraculous transformation of living standards and the legendary battle situation of defeating orc minions and goblins are enough to make the civilians of Baicheng whose living standards are worse year by year remember them, and at the same time hope that such a life change will happen to them.

However, the civilians are still as perfect and legendary as the rumors say, every time they see the Lelouch oil paintings circulating in the streets and alleys, everyone will wait with expectations and questions, and today, Lelouch enters the city for the domineering and momentum of the half-orcs, which perfectly solves their doubts, since even the half-orcs dare to kill directly, so what is the mere goblin?

And judging from the clothes of these white knights, Lord Lelouch must not be ordinary rich, Lord Lelouch is so rich, so the people under his leadership, will the life be bad? You know, Lord Lelouxiu is notoriously benevolent.

The people looked at Lelouch with such thoughts, and as they got closer and closer to the inner city, and after a while, they saw that no one had been sent down to hold them accountable, and the commoners slowly came out with great courage, and as one, two, and three increased, almost soon, the streets were filled with crowds on both sides, and the people cheered excitedly, and kept chanting the name of the Count of the Red Dragon.

Such a grand scene for Lelouch obviously proved that he was extremely popular in the White City, this scene made Lelouch have to sigh that the forces that hide in the shadows to support him, they seem to have a strong ability to propagandize and manipulate the people's hearts, otherwise, to be honest, with Lelouxiu's record and fame, it is impossible to get such a welcome, in the eyes of many civilians, Lelouch even saw in the crowd that he thought he was a savior-like fanatical look.

Along the way, Lelouch kept smiling affectionately and waving to the crowd cheering at him, in fact, this was just a small gesture for Lelouch, but in the eyes of the civilians, it confirmed Lelouch's benevolent statement, and the crowd cheered even louder.

The cheers of the crowd undoubtedly increased Lelouch's prestige further, and at the same time made the knights who followed him look at him more fanatically, the power of prestige, invisible and intangible, but it is the most capable force to change the pattern.

The cheering of the crowd stopped at the gate of the inner city, because when he arrived here, the civilian could not continue to the inner city, and of course he could in normal times, after all, the inner city would not survive without the service of the personnel of the outer city, but not today, especially when the crowd gathered so much.

The walls of the inner city are not tall and have no characteristics, they are completely an ordinary city wall, but this time the city wall is isolated from the inner and outer cities.

In fact, the buildings and living facilities in the outer city are not less than those in the inner city, and some places are even more developed because of commercial reasons, but the division of the inner and outer levels still allows the inner city to enjoy more preferential treatment and welfare, the inner city is much cleaner than the outer city, the streets are more flat and spacious, the houses are more neat and solid, and they are also higher, although the people who come and go are also curious to look at Lelouch, and their eyes contain more or less kindness, but they do not show any welcome color, for the residents of the inner city, the times in the outside world have changed, for them, except for the above more bullying Mordor, there is not much change。

On the contrary, the last war caused heavy casualties among the residents of the inner city, so the enthusiasm of the residents of the inner city was much less than that of the outer city.

However, this situation is not just in case, because when many young people see Lelouch and those extremely handsome knights behind him, their eyes are much more unpeaceful than the civilians in the outside world, but what the civilians in the outside world need is the fanaticism of living a good life, and these young people in the inner city are eager to become people like Lelouxiu, or become the gorgeous knights behind Lelouxiu, to win the heart of the beautiful girl in their hearts.

In fact, at a certain level, their final actions are the same, but after doing the same thing, the results pursued are different.

For these young people, Lelouch could only give up the affinity of the outer city, put on his hood again, and hid his cheeks in the darkness, and soon, in the complicated eyes of the residents of the inner city, Lelouxiu and his party finally came to the reception hotel, and in the white city, there was a place to stay.

...

The reception hotel is very large, as a place to welcome foreign nobles, it can accommodate nearly 10,000 people, Lu Luxiu came in and sighed directly, where is this hotel, this is completely a palace.

Of course, if all the nobles are like Lelouch with two hundred retinues, this kind of hotel is completely inaccessible, but generally speaking, a foreign nobleman with a maximum of ten retinues is enough, in this way, this hotel can accommodate a thousand nobles, this is not the imperial capital that everyone is qualified to come, a thousand nobles for the entire heaven-sent land, is already a very high quota, in fact, this hotel has never been full since its establishment.

The hotel has a lot of left-behind personnel, I don't know if it's the recent princess return incident, the number of people in the hotel is increasing almost every day, in addition to the nobles from all over the world, there are more servants to clean and repair the hotel.

So when Lelouch and his party walked to the door, it really attracted the attention of many people, I have to say that although the knight's dress is gorgeous, it is indeed a bit of a bag, for civilians, this represents combat effectiveness, for aristocratic youth, this represents handsomeness, but for mature nobles, this is undoubtedly a burning bag.

However, Lelouch doesn't care, because the original design intention of Lelouch's armor was that practicality was the first priority, followed by beauty, but Lelouch maximized this beauty, and the first impression was often not a person's connotation, but a person's appearance.

The knights of Lelouch are all white, and the preconceived ideas of those who see them will associate them with positive words such as justice and bravery, and in addition, the forces behind them, Limburg, will also be labeled as such, and under such subtle influence, Limburg's reputation will only get better day by day.

To be honest, the United States has killed many innocent people in the Middle East, but through Hollywood's rendering, the United States has always been regarded by other countries as a great and righteous person, and this is the best case.

So Lelouch just smiled slightly, didn't care about the eyes of those nobles, casually found a house in the corner, and lived in it, because of the marginalization, there are few people, and it is very quiet, and there are enough empty houses, just enough to accommodate Lelouch's manpower, but this approach, Lelouch isolates himself from other nobles, after all, the exchanges and cooperation between nobles are all in various gatherings, so nobles always like to get together, like Lelouxiu, it is indeed few.

In any case, Lu Lu Xiu temporarily settled down in the imperial capital, and after Lu Lu Xiu settled down, a close attendant from the White Pagoda Palace said the following arrangements.

Lelouch's canonization ceremony will be held in three days, and there is a more important factor, three days also happens to be the princess's return ceremony, on that day, Lelouch will hold the canonization casually, and for the matter of the half-orcs at the door, the waiter really didn't say a word, but from the attitude of the waiter, the waiter will also have great goodwill towards Lelouch.

It seems that winning the hearts of the people is the greatest benefit, but for some reason, Lelouch suddenly remembered a sentence from later generations:

"Who in the world does not share the same world, those who win the hearts of the people are the only ones in the world!"
