Volume 5, Chapter 42, Elkas
|||->-> a kingdom, the army, is an indispensable element, but also the fundamental guarantee of the sustainable existence of a kingdom.
The country of China, the House of Elkas, in Karem's mouth, is no exception.
But the army of the House of Elkas is not called an army, and it is not dared to be called an army.
If you really dare to call the army, you will have to face the crusade of the Elbanian Kingdom, it is self-inflicted, it is better to be like now, the Queen of Albania acquiesced in the existence of the Elkas House, and the Elbas House symbolically tributed rice, wheat and other grains to the city of Goral every year, and the two sides were on their own side and did not disturb each other.
The army of the House of Elkas is called the Minoan Plains Rural Protection Regiment, and the soldiers are called the regimental members, and the members of the Minoan Plains Rural Conservation Corps are full of 70,000 people, and the members of the regiment are unevenly armed and have slightly backward weapons and equipment, but they are two thousand miles away from the city of Golar, with the Barrington River, the largest river in Kurux, in the east, and the Marin Mountains in the west.
It was the harvest season, and there was a busy scene on the Minoan plain, with carts full of rice and wheat grains pulled out of the township in teams to the middle of the plain.
The three of them walked all the way, and the people they saw, although they were busy and harvested, but most of them did not have the joy of harvesting on their faces, but they looked worried, and they only needed to inquire a little to know the reason for their worries.
More than 1.7 million people in the Minoan Plain, more than 80 percent, are descendants of the Arcadia Empire, in Minoquia City, it is still a secret Northfilat Continent, here, it is not a secret, basically, children who begin to read and write, know that there is such a place, it is a happy place.
What they were worried about was how to get a scale from the dragon entrenched in the volcano, so that they could pass through the guardian dragon Edin and go to the continent of Nosferat.
Northferat Continent, is it really the other side of happiness?
Luo Lingling asked many villagers for confirmation, and the villagers nodded busily, "Yes, Northfilat is the place where we start to live happily, if I can't go, I must let my son go!"
Some villagers also complained: "There are bad people! Not only the descendants of the empire, but also other people have bad people! It is the scum of the descendants of the empire that makes everyone else hate the descendants of the empire. Who wants to move frequently!"
Only one of the village chiefs, who was dying, sighed in the setting sun, "Nosferat? that is not a resting place...... Is that...... The children of the empire are filled with grief and despair in order to welcome the apocalypse...... At the end of despair, will there be hope?"
The old man's words meant that there was no hope.
In the center of the Minoan plain, there stands a castle covering an area of thousands of acres, which is the headquarters of the House of Elcas, the highest point is thirty-four meters high, and there is nothing special from the outside, but in the eyes of the three gods, this castle is unreservedly displayed in the divine consciousness.
Investigating the structure of the castle, Miao Xiaodao smiled and said, "This Elkas really thinks she is the queen!"
Luo Sheng and Luo Lingling smiled and were noncommittal.
Several rooms in the high-rise building in the center of the castle are exactly the same as some rooms in the White Palace, and the most luxurious of them, the room with a large bed, must be Elkas's bedroom, although Miao Xiaodao has not seen the bedroom of Queen Albania with his own eyes, but the structure of the house is definitely exactly the same.
The castle is home to nearly 10,000 people and thousands of demons
Pet partners, most of the demon pet partners are praying mantis and smoke Luo, which are also the two major demon species groups on the Minoan Plains, praying mantis needless to say, and Yan Luo, is a product of Benichas volcano, this kind of monster produced from volcanic ash, belongs to the special spell type monster, and will naturally use most of the spells of the fire system.
Around the castle, there were members with red, blue, and green armbands patrolling, and when they saw Miao Xiaodao, Luo Sheng, and Luo Lingling approaching, they all saw that they were all magnificent, and a member of the group with red armbands came over and said, "This is the house of Elkas, may I ask the three, is there anything wrong?"
Miao Xiaodao saw that this person was quite polite, and he was equally polite, and took out a letter of introduction written by Assam.
The red armband looked at it and said, "Oh, I see, dragon bounty, then I'll take you to meet the head of the regiment first!"
The red armband, who called himself Lem, led the three of them into the castle, during which he grabbed a middle-aged woman and asked, "Aunt Ke, where is the head of the regiment?"
Aunt Ke, a middle-aged woman, smiled: "Where else can it be, in the cafeteria!"
Canteen?
When the three of them heard this, they were all a little surprised, it was still early to leave the meal at this time, and in their consciousness, in the castle canteen, there were no people eating at all, only a group of women and half-grown children, all of whom were busy preparing ingredients, and nearly 10,000 people wanted to eat, which was not a small project.
When Lem heard this, he nodded and took the three of them and walked straight to the cafeteria, believing that the head of the regiment was in the cafeteria.
"If your mom and dad came to pick you up, would you leave?" asked a girl in a green dress, peeling the corn in her hand, as she asked the little boy next to her who was still snotty.
"I don't! I hate them the most! If they come, I won't see them!" the boy wiped his snot with his cuffs, and then peeled the corn from his hand.
"Are you going to serve the saint in the future?"
"Well, I want to practice martial arts hard and become a person like the head of the regiment!
Lem and the three of them happened to pass behind the two, and Lem patted the back of the little boy's head and said with a smile: "Serra, then you have to work hard!
The little boy turned around and saw that it was Lem, so he immediately got up and gave a half-bent salute to Lem: "Brother Lim!
"Haha, then come on!"
Hearing the conversation between the two, the divine consciousness of Miao Xiaodao and the three of them was immediately identified in the cafeteria, and soon, the aura of a near-god was immediately highlighted, and there was no way not to highlight it, most of the people in the cafeteria were ordinary people, and the aura of a near-the-god was too obvious.
A woman in a black apron with a simple bun on her head washing potatoes in front of the sink was already half a basket of cleaned potatoes in a large basket beside her.
Lem called, "Captain, someone is going to the inside of the volcano!"
The woman turned around and saw the three of them. Lem whispered, "This is our leader, Elkas. ”
Miao Xiaodao and the three hurriedly said hello.
They didn't expect Elcas to look like this.
Karem said that the house of Elkas is a country of China, and what they have seen and heard along the way is completely in line with the three words of country and China, and this is indeed another kingdom in the kingdom of Albania.
The lord of this kingdom, Elkas, must have lived like a queen, washing her face with milk every day, wearing expensive clothes, and discussing the affairs of the state with the ministers in the council chamber...... Who would have thought that she would be, in the cafeteria,
Washing potatoes?
Elkas's face was ruddy, not like an elderly person, she wiped her hands on her apron, and said, "Is it you who go into the volcano? No problem! I have a detailed map of the volcano's interior, 10 million gold, and I will sell it to you......"
Lem hurriedly bowed and whispered, "Commander!" while handing over a letter of introduction written by Assam.
Elkas took it and looked at it, and said, "Oh...... Oh! it turned out to be a bounty...... What a faux pas...... It's rude......"
Elkas and Miao Xiaodao sat down at the long table in the cafeteria.
"I didn't expect it," Miao Xiaodao sighed......
"I didn't think I'm just a bad old woman, am I?" Elcas laughed, unaproning his apron and throwing it on the table, "There are so many people waiting to eat, so I don't have anything to do, come here to move my hands and feet......"
After greetings, Miao Xiaodao asked, "What's going on with the evil dragon?"
Elkas said: "Here's the thing, half a month ago, we took a man to the volcano, he needed a herb that grows in the crater, but somehow he broke into the volcanic sanctuary and angered the dragon in it......"
Sanctuary?
Hearing this term, the spirits of the three of them were suddenly shocked, before, the sacred domain they had heard of was the area between the human domain and the divine domain, and this sacred domain ......
"The man you're bringing with you is a pharmacist, isn't he?
"Semiree? I don't know...... I was brought here by my men, and I was not directly involved. ”
"Is he still alive?"
"Then who knows...... Elka said nonchalantly, "it's hard to survive a volcanic eruption, and I can't guarantee that I can survive that situation...... It was because of him that the dragon was provoked and caused a volcanic eruption, which greatly affected the Minoan plains, and you also saw it outside, and there was a gray ...... everywhere."
"This dragon is Norly, the former patron saint of the Arcadia Empire?"
The three of them noticed that the corners of Elkas's eyes twitched slightly, and the corners of her mouth rose unnaturally, obviously not expecting them to know so much.
