Chapter 243: Arriving at Ruby City

Like most fortress cities, Ruby City chose to build on a hillside, which limited the city's growth, but also reduced the pressure on defense, after all, in a continent full of races, there are more enemies than friends, and living space is better than death.

The city has been standing for thousands of years, slowly growing from a small town to one of the most important cities for the Terrans. Each expansion of the city retained and heightened the original walls, and the current Ruby City already had five walls, and under their protection, 100,000 people lived in them. As the center of the city, the name of Duke Ruby, who lives in the castle in the middle of the mountain, is also known to all races in the mainland.

Ling Xiao and his party, who had experienced "thousands of difficulties and dangers" all the way to get here, rode horses and wore smocks and walked into the city in a low-key manner. The city with a strong historical atmosphere and otherworldly atmosphere attracts people to constantly look around.

Looking at the griffin patrols that were constantly coming and going in the Heavenly Palace, Ling Xiao said: "Compared with this city, the film and television city we built in the Tiangong community is a little too shabby, although it can be retro in architecture, but the people inside can't express the civilization of a period. Look here, a beggar is a beggar, a rich merchant is a rich merchant, a mercenary is a mercenary, and the things in the bones cannot be expressed just by performance. ”

Yue Qian is also very interested in the city: "It's a wonderful pleasure to be able to make movies here, and now we are about to meet the Duke of Ruby, you see that the castle is really very majestic, thinking that there will be a palace feast to welcome us soon, I am still a little excited in my heart." ”

Akram was still unable to understand Mandarin, which he regarded as Elfish. Along the way, various "dangers" made Akran have a radical change, and as the use of fighting qi became more and more skilled and powerful, he unconsciously formed a momentum on his body. Coupled with a set of light armor tailored for him, and a long sword pinned to his waist, he looked very powerful.

"Brother Xiaoyao, we have entered the outer city of Ruby City, should we go to see the Duke of Ruby now" Akram had followed Hawkins to Ruby City many times to purchase things, so he was still familiar with this city, he took out some scattered copper coins to drive away the beggars who surrounded him, and then walked to Ling Xiao's side.

"Go see the Duke of Ruby." Ling Xiao looked at the sky again, and Lin had already sent an insect camera to collect video from the entire Ruby City.

As you pass through the gates, you can clearly see the hierarchy of the whole city. The further down the floor, the inhabitants were obviously much more noble, and Ling Xiao was stopped by the city guards outside the fourth gate, because the inside was already a noble district, and as a privileged class, they were the core of the entire city.

"Inside the station is the private residence of the nobles, if you want to enter or visit, please show the badge of your family."

Akram stepped forward: "In front of you is the princess of the Elven clan, Rebecca Byron the Windtalker, and we have brought greetings from the Whispering Forest for Duke Ruby. Her Royal Highness and her friends have important matters to see the Duke, so please report them. ”

"Elf, you're kidding." The leader of the squad guarding the gates, wearing a suit of full-body plate armor engraved with ruby insignia, scoffed at Akran's words. He looked at the six men on horseback, all of them were dressed to cover their faces, he drew his broadsword, and the other soldiers also showed their weapons, "Who the hell are you, don't think that you can enter the inner city with a bad excuse, Ruby City is not a place for you to make trouble." Lift your hoods, throw away your weapons, and let us inspect you. ”

Rebecca urged her horse to the front, she lifted her hood to reveal the appearance of an elf, and said to the team leader with a smile, "Do you still think we are joking with you?"

The appearance of the "elf" elf was recognized by the city guards, especially after Rebecca mischievously moved her ears to prove that it was not fake.

The sudden appearance of the elves, who had long been extinct on the continent, caused an uproar near the city gates. Facing Rebecca, who claimed to be the elf princess, the team leader did not dare to make any more unreasonable moves, he put away his weapon and gave a warrior salute with excitement, and quickly ran towards the city. The heavy armor did not affect his speed, and a soldier guarding the gate had such strength, it seemed that Duke Ruby was a very powerful figure.

At this time, the lord of Ruby City, Justice Edward, convened a council in the castle's council chamber, and he and his vassals discussed how to send an army to clean the territory of the gnolls, who could never be cleaned.

An attendant stormed the council chamber, an impertinent act that sparked the displeasure of the nobles. Instead of withdrawing from the glares of the Lords, the attendant walked quickly to Archduke Edward's side and whispered in his ear.

"A visit from an elf who claims to be an elf princess"

As the family heir of the patron of the ancient Hellforge Guardian Knights, Archduke Edward was not surprised by the elves' existence, but was curious why the elves appeared openly on the mainland, which was not in line with the system that the elven council had adhered to for thousands of years, could it be that something big happened in the Whispering Forest

Despite the surprise of the vassals, Archduke Edward ended the council and invited them to welcome a distinguished guest.

The nobles of the "Honored Guest" wondered who deserved Duke Ruby to bring his core nobles to greet the Terran kingdom since it split 1,000 years ago.

When Rebecca rode into the castle on a horse, the answer was revealed.

Elves, a team of elven envoys.

Seeing Rebecca, no one doubted that she was an elf, and her superb appearance and extraordinary temperament were the same as those in the legend.

Everyone was stunned, not only amazed by the appearance of the elves, but also amazed by the existence of the elves.

In the past, the elves disappeared for no reason, and now there are inexplicable appearances, which means that something big must have happened.

Archduke Edward and his vassals stood in the open space in front of the main castle building, waiting for their first contact with the elves.

Rebecca and Ling Xiao also politely dismounted from their horses, and Akram stepped forward, saluting Archduke Edward and saying, "I'm Akram from Kadimo, and I greet you on behalf of Uncle Hawkins." This is the elven princess Rebecca Byron, the Windwhisperer, who has brought important news about the Whispering Forest. "To be continued
