Chapter 257: Jubile Mountain City

On the grass in front of Winterbolt Castle, the airship slowly soared into the air.

Wren stood at the edge of the deck and waved goodbye to Viola on the ground, the airship grew taller and taller, and the castle grew smaller and smaller in his eyes, until it became the size of a palm, and the propeller at the tail of the airship roared, picking up speed and heading west through the clouds.

Even from this distance, Wren could still see Viola clearly.

She stood in front of the door of the castle and looked up at this side, and did not turn back for a long time, her expression was complicated, and her eyes were full of reluctance.

Wren sighed softly.

Isu's figure appeared beside him, and he shook his head very puzzled: "If I have such a confidante, I will never stay in the castle for only two days, at least for half a month before leaving." ”

"Viola has her own career pursuits, and I also have my own things to do, so there's no need to get tired of being together for a long time. Wren replied with some insincerity.

"You're so willing. ”

Yi Su sighed with a smile on her face, "I have never seen such a beautiful half-elf in my life, so you are not afraid that she will be snatched away by other men?"

Wren glanced at Yzu.

This legendary assassin is a veteran of the love scene, and he is called an old pervert in the brothel, but in the past two days, he has behaved politely in front of Viola, without a trace of frivolity, as if he has changed a person.

I don't know if he has just come out of the trough of his life and temporarily retracted his mind, or if he is pretending to be a decent gentleman, but he actually has other plans.

Ysu has an unknown object that even the Soul Eye can't see, so I can't guess what he's thinking.

"Hmph. ”

Wren said meaningfully: "Whoever dares to touch Viola's finger, I will hammer his head!"

Izue shrugged her shoulders with a nonchalant expression.

The airship traveled westward, across the territory of the empire, passing through three provinces, flying day and night for two days and one night, and finally entered the principality of Hohavon.

This vassal state of the empire is larger than the average province, with a population of more than 50 million, which is the most powerful of all the vassal states of the empire, and the relationship with the empire is also extremely close, and the living habits and language of the people are almost the same as those of the people of the empire.

The overall topography of the Principality of Hohavin is a huge basin.

It is surrounded by plateaus and mountains, but its interior is a vast array of fertile fields, and the whole empire cannot find a few more fertile lands than this, and every year it produces the best wine in the world, especially grapes.

Because of the abundance of the people, the seldom of war, and the very loose rule of the Storm Queen, the Duchy of Hohavon has gradually transformed into a paradise of romance over the centuries.

To the southwest of the principality, part of it borders the ends of the world's mountain ranges.

Naturally, the richness of Hohavin attracts the attention of the dragons of the world's mountains. After they descended the mountain, they were afraid of the Storm Queen, and did not dare to plunder openly, so they could only sneak into the principality in human form, rob or deceive people of their wealth by various means, and even kidnap beautiful human women.

Hohavin is a feudal state, and there are also various ranks of nobility under the Queen of the Storm, as well as a large number of knights.

The story of the valiant knights reclaiming their treasures and beauties from the clutches of evil dragons is the most popular story of the people of Hohavun.

Some are true, but most are fictional, and the vast majority of knights have died under the dragon's breath.

Treasures and beauties still belong to the dragon.

But that doesn't stop people from having an image of the Principality of Hohavon, a land of wine, knights, wealth and dragons, a land of gold and heroes!

The airship crossed the mountains, and suddenly the eyes opened up.

The endless fields suddenly appeared on the horizon ahead, and it was like sailing from the rough sea into the calm and bright lake.

Wren stood by the window of the cabin, looking down at the vast expanse of land.

Under the clear sun, you can see large fields and estates on the ground, which are planted with various crops, especially grapes, which are the most numerous, almost more than half.

Villages can be seen every few miles.

A beautiful rural scenery is slowly spreading out in front of you, thriving, and the scenery is pleasant, which makes the first treasure land Rennes feel relaxed and happy.

"What a place!" he sighed.

Even if he hadn't come into contact with the people of the Principality of Hohavon, just by looking at the land from the sky, he could already feel that the atmosphere here was different from the Empire, which made people feel very relaxed.

"Have you been here before?" Wren asked, turning his head.

Isu was sitting at the table, holding a handful of Ten Thousand Soul Cards in her hand, looking like she was contemplating.

These two days were a bit boring, so the two of them played cards to pass the time.

Isu's poker skills are actually very good, but in front of Rennes, he has been defeated one after another, and he has won less than one hand in two days.

"If you don't play, it's really boring to play cards with you. ”

When Isu heard Wren's question, he took the opportunity to withdraw his hand and replied sullenly: "I have been in Modu until I became an adult, and then I fled to the New World for more than ten years, and I have never been to Hohavin. ”

He touched his chin, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "However, I heard that the brothels in Hohavin are very developed, and there are many tricks, so I will try them at night, do you want to come with me?"

"Not interested. Wren flatly refused.

He'd just been with Viola for two days, and the time of the Sage wasn't over yet.

The airship continued to fly for several hours, and in the early afternoon, a huge city appeared ahead, and Mount Juppel arrived.

Mount Jubil is the capital of Hohavin and the largest city in the principality, with a permanent population of about 3 million, about the same as Lonshand.

It's called Mount Jubil, not the city, because it's really a mountain.

The whole city is built on several connected mountains, located on the bank of the NakΓΌmer River, the mountain is not high, but the area is large enough, the terrain is not too steep, more than half of the buildings are built on the mountain, so Jubil Hill is also called the mountain city.

The location of Mount Jubil is right in the heart of the basin of the Duchy of Hohavun, where another tributary joins the Nakhum River, and there are countless fertile fields outside the city.

Wren could see from afar that there was a mountain in the middle of the city that stood out.

It floats over the wide surface of the Nakhumer River, only a few dozen meters high, like an island in the middle of the river, but it has no contact with the river.

This is the Storm Queen's Floating City of Aglund.

The shape of Agrond is very different from the normal floating city, it uses the Nether method of building a city, that is, cutting a mountain peak and pushing it into the sky through the energy of the core of Iola.

However, the floating city of Aglund is a hill with the tip facing upwards and a flat section facing downwards.

This is the complete opposite of the Floating City of Wezeland, where the peaks are covered with lush woods and flowers, and some hidden buildings can be faintly seen, like elaborate urban gardens.

At the top of the castle is a magnificent castle, and inside the castle, the not-so-tall wizard's tower stands on the top of the mountain.

Wren looked far away and saw a drawbridge over the riverbank, connecting the Floating City to the ground, and many pedestrians crossed the bridge to ascend the Floating City.

People wander around the Floating City, and with the exception of the Storm Queen's castle, they can come and go as they please.

Wren couldn't help but sigh.

I have always heard that the Storm Queen is extremely close to the people, and even the Floating City is open to the people, it turns out to be true, no wonder the Storm Queen has such a high prestige in Hohavin and is deeply loved by the people.

It reminded him of the Duke of Purple Flame in Isrek, and the two were two extremes entirely.

Moments later, the airship landed at the landing field outside the city north of Mount Jubil, parked in a berth, and when the airship exploded, the captain immediately arranged for the workers at the landing field to replenish fuel and water.

"Boss. ”

Sicarius came up and said, "My brothers and I will go to Tyrion now, he is not far from here, and he will be back soon." ”

Treen was the leader of the Macullag people on Mount Juppel.

Because of its proximity to the Seon Plateau, there were more Makulags than Modu on Mount Jubil, more than twenty men, and under the leadership of Tyrien, they formed a small mercenary group to serve the local nobles and merchants, usually only on the task of bodyguards and guards.

In addition to Mordu and Mount Jubil, there were a handful of Maculags who traveled to the city of Deep Harbor in the south of the empire, and Sicarius tried to contact them, but could not find anyone.

The Makulag people who dared to leave the Saine Plateau were the best of the tribe.

Wren's idea, of course, is that it would be best to take all these Maculags under his command, but if he can't find anyone, then there is no way.

"I'll go with you. ”

Wren got up and walked to the lower deck of the airship, where the Ultramarines were all waiting and ordered: "Sicarius, Gelon and Girt, the four of us can go, take off all the armor, so as not to be too dazzling." Otto, you and the rest of the brothers stay on the airship and take care to protect the material. ”

"Yes. The Ultramarines responded in unison.

A few minutes later, Wren left the airship with three tall Makulags, and he looked left and right to find that Yzu had not followed and was nowhere to be found.

His dragonhorn horses and the Ultramarine's Kodomon were left behind in Glamorgan, and the Maculags were too big to sit in the car, so they had to walk with them.

Luckily, the destination isn't far away.

After walking for half an hour, the four of them entered Mount Jubil and climbed along the streets, arriving at a complex of buildings halfway up the mountain, surrounded by many transcendents and aliens, looking at their costumes, most of them were mercenaries or adventurers, which should be the transcendent gathering place of Mount Jubile.

People were not at all surprised to see the tall Sicarius and the others, who had obviously become accustomed to barbarians.

"Boss, this is it. ”

Sicarius stopped outside a compound, spoke to Wren, and knocked on the door.

Bang bang bang!

"Tyrion, open the door!"

The sturdy wooden door was crumbling, and there was a sound of heavy footsteps and weapons being stolen, as if surrounded by enemies.

Ten seconds later, the door slammed open.

A tall and mighty savage rushed out, carrying a great axe in his hand, as if it was about to be cleaved at any moment. When he saw the people outside the door, his face immediately changed from anger to joy, and he said happily: "Sicarius, you have finally arrived!"
