The Nile River is the first river in the Aran continent, and this river that almost runs through the continent begins in the Taylor Snow Mountain, which is covered with snow all year round, and brings together countless large and small rivers along the way, and finally flows into the Fenglan Sea.

It's early spring now, and the cold winter still seems to be reluctant to this continent, and unscrupulously pouts and advocates that he is rough and powerful. The surface of the river shimmers in the sunlight and the cold wind.

Li Junshan stood on the deck, the linen sails were blown by the strong wind, and the mist of Flo City in the distance finally disappeared from his field of vision.

"Master, this is your first time going to the imperial capital, right?" Fate walked over from the deck and stood beside Li Junshan, only to feel a little cold and shrink his neck.

"Hmm. Li Junshan nodded and said, "It's the first time, have you been there before?"

"I've been there many times, and my home is not far from the Emperor, in a village in the Kiss Mountains. "I've been away from home for decades, and I don't know what my home looks like now.

Li Junshan said with a smile: "Don't be emotional, if one day you can break through to the rank of Fa Saint, then you will return to your hometown with the badge of the noble, and your family will be proud of you." ”

A magician at the level of a law saint will be valued by the empire, and he will use a noble title to win over, and the lowest is a viscount.

"I hope there will be a day. Fate's face was full of admiration.

Li Junshan smiled and said, "Hurry up and cultivate." ”

As he spoke, Li Junshan walked to the cabin where he lived, closed the door after entering, sat on the bed, took out the yellowed summoning secret, and concentrated on following the pattern of the talisman on it, stretched out his fingers and quickly drew it.

The days went by like this, and the life on the ship was boring, Li Junshan was almost cultivating his spiritual power all day long, but he hadn't made the slightest progress. On the contrary, Fate's magic cultivation faintly showed signs of breaking through to an intermediate magician.

What gave Li Junshan a headache was that the little black dragon's appetite was too large.

When he was bored on the boat, Li Junshan summoned it out to play, and the little black dragon fell asleep in the mental space, but it was obvious that he was also growing. If summoned outside, it will be as if it has been hungry for more than ten years, and the whole roast sheep can be eaten in the blink of an eye, and it still curls its tongue and licks its mouth, with a look of unfinished meaning, looking at Li Junshan with that pitiful look.

Li Junshan had no choice but to keep beckoning them to bring food over under the servant's strange eyes. Originally, the food prepared on the ship was enough for a boatload of people to eat, but because of the extra little black dragon, the ship had to find some port cities to replenish the food halfway.

Later, Bernie couldn't help but go to Li Junshan, if the summoned beast was placed in the mental space, it didn't need to be eaten, he thought that Li Junshan was bored and summoned the alien to feed, so he euphemistically expressed the meaning that the marquis was waiting in the imperial capital, and the trip could not be delayed any longer.

Li Junshan no longer summoned the little black dragon out, and in this way, after traveling along the Nile River for thirteen days, the galleon finally docked. The convoy walked west along the road for another three days, and finally arrived at the imperial capital of the Reims Empire, Auston City.

Auston City has a history of more than 400 years, although it is not as long as some ruins of the Aran continent, but it has a unique majestic desolation.

Located in the heart of the Reims Empire, Auston has been quiet for centuries since King Andrew #Eloy moved his capital here from the cold northwest more than four hundred years ago. King Andrew, who was also a devout member of the Holy See, ordered the construction of the Central Cathedral, the tallest building in the Reims Empire, in the city of Auston, an unprecedented project that lasted more than 200 years to complete.

If it weren't for the continuous financial support of the Holy See behind it, this central cathedral, which was built halfway up the mountain and was 342 meters high from the horizon, would have been enough to make the financial officials of the Reims Empire vomit blood and die.

After seeing the central cathedral that had been praised countless times in the epic from a distance from the carriage, Li Junshan was deeply shocked. The Gothic-style central cathedral is linked to the towering Kith Mountains, and the building, all made of smooth stone bars, has a unique beauty of clean lines, reflecting the morning sun, natural and harmonious. The towering spire of the sword pierced into the sky, making people look awe-inspiring.

At the foot of Keith Mountain was the vast city of Auston, and the four-wheeled carriage entered Auston City along the wide bluestone avenue, and the city guards at first thought it was a caravan, yawning and wanted to interrogate it, by the way, to see if they could extort a few gold coins, and the badge on the carriage symbolizing the Harriman family suddenly made them lose sleep, and immediately saluted the carriage with the most respectful courtesy.

The carriage galloped along the central avenue to the center of the city, which is all paved with the natural white stones of Taylor Snow Mountain, and the central avenue of more than 3,000 meters in total can be said to be full of bones. Li Junshan heard from Claure that the white stones were transported from the distant Taylor Snow Mountain to Auston City, and the three-thousand-meter central avenue was full of more than 10,000 civilians and slaves who died on the quarrying and stone transportation road.

The carriage turned from the central boulevard into the Lyon district, where either the royal family lived or the imperial dignitaries, and it was also the center of power of the Reims Empire, except for the nobles and nobles, no matter how rich and rich they were, they were not qualified to live here.

The carriage turned into the mansion of the Marquis de Sweet, located on the western edge of the Lyon district, and after the coachman stopped the carriage, Li Junshan walked down with a harmless smile.

With his status, naturally there would not be any big people to greet him, let alone the Marquis of Sweet himself, and there were several servants standing in the courtyard to help carry things.

Bernie went up and whispered a few words to a servant, then came over and said to Li Junshan, "Lord Marquis is in the backyard, I'll take you there now." ”

Li Junshan nodded to him, followed with Fate, and looked around along the way. The biggest feature of the huge prince's mansion is that many exotic plants are planted, from the blooming roses to the extremely rare black epiphany, rockeries, fish ponds, stone bridges, and flowing water, which are carefully arranged to complement each other. The scenery is much more elegant than the old Viscount Crowle's palace.

Turning around many attic pavilions along the way, Bernie led Li Junshan into the crescent-like arch, and a huge platform appeared in front of him, all made of white stone, like a bright and large mirror.

There are dozens of shelves on both sides of the platform, on which are nothing more than weapons such as knives, guns and clubs, and on the empty platform sits an old man with gray hair and a slightly rickety body, holding a thick book in his hand and reading it in a hurry.

"Lord Marquis. Bernie walked over with Li Junshan, bowed down and said respectfully, "I brought Young Master Nicholas back." ”

The old man was the Marquis of Sweet, as if he had just noticed a few people coming, raised his head to look at Li Junshan, smiled slightly, and said, "You are Nicholas, you are quite similar to your grandfather." ”

"I've seen the Marquis. Li Junshan bowed in a decent manner and said, "Nicholas greets you on behalf of my father and mother." ”

"Go to the door to make trouble, defeat the war master with your own strength, and kill a sixth-level demonic beast of a great summoner. Nicholas, you're just as fiery as your grandfather Hadley. Marquis Sweet was smiling and his eyes were unusually bright.

Li Junshan smiled shyly and did not speak.

"When you go to the imperial capital, the people you want to meet are the core of the Harriman family, in front of them, especially those old nobles in their seventies and eighties, don't think about their own cleverness in exchange for benefits. Be yourself, even if you are a fool, and you may be able to get what you want. ”

This is what Linda said to Li Junshan in tears before leaving, and Li Junshan thought it was true.

"Bernie, take them down for breakfast first, and then bring them later. The old marquis grinned at Li Junshan, and continued to bury his head to read the thick book of "History of Imperial Wars" in his hand.

Saying goodbye to Sweet, Li Junshan and Fate followed Bernie out of the martial arts field, and a servant had already cleaned up the room, and the two changed their clothes and ate at will.

"That's the Marquis. Fate took a bite of the calf's loin, and said with excitement on his face, "It's the first time I've stood so close to the Marquis. ”

Li Junshan glanced at him with disdain, and then he noticed that Bernie was walking around the yard, and after a few casual bites, he walked towards the courtyard with Fate.

followed Bernie back to the martial arts field, it didn't take much time, and there were dozens of people standing on the empty martial arts field just now, all of them were teenagers about the same age as Li Junshan.

Li Junshan and the others walked around from the sidelines and came behind the Marquis of Sweet, Bernie didn't say anything, Li Junshan naturally didn't say much, and stood quietly and looked curiously into the field.

It can be seen from the exquisite costumes Li Junshan that most of these teenagers are dressed as nobles and neatly arranged together. While Li Junshan looked at them, the eyes of those people also glanced at him, both playful and curious.

"Alright, let's get started. A tall man standing in front of the group said loudly, "Separate training in squads." ”

In an orderly manner, the more than forty teenagers were divided into dozens of squads and started some basic training to enhance their physical strength. is different from Li Junshan's guess, these teenagers not only move in place, but also have a few tall and strong people, and the stone locks of more than 100 catties are flying up and down, which looks very relaxed.

"Hook. The Marquis of Sweet called out softly, and the tall man answered, and ran respectfully and stood with his hands down.

"Well, these people have been here for a month, and what good seedlings have you found?" Sweet put down the book and asked lightly.

The tall man named Hook said respectfully, "I would like to inform the Marquis, a total of sixty-five people were sent last time, and in addition to the seven people who have magical potential and have been sent to study at George College, there are still twenty-three people here who have the possibility of becoming warriors. ”

"Hmm. Sweet nodded with satisfaction and said, "Observe for a while, if you really don't have any potential, send it to Jim's side to see if there are other qualifications, and send it home directly." ”

Hook bowed, Sweet stood up and beckoned to Li Junshan, and walked straight out. Li Junshan followed under the envious gaze of the teenagers.
