Chapter 38: Meeting with the Royal Family
The convoy did not stop at any territory along the way, and advanced 24 hours a day and night towards the royal city.
Among them, Li Qiang and the knight of Sain lived together in the third carriage. Edith and his maid lived in the second carriage. The other subordinates shared the first carriage.
Finally, after three days and three nights of travel, the convoy finally reached the front of the royal city.
Li Qiang sat next to the coachman of the third carriage and looked at the royal city of Rosas from afar. From afar, the high walls of Rostas with white marble stand in front of you.
"I'm afraid it's as tall as 10 people stacked on top of each other." Li Qiang asked the coachman next to him.
The coachman nodded, and proudly introduced to Li Qiang, and got up: "Of course." The Royal City of Rostas is the most majestic building in the entire United Kingdom of the South. The walls alone are 13 meters high. The gate is even more exaggerated, 15 meters high.
Li Qiang nodded to indicate that he understood, and stared at Wang Cheng carefully. Suddenly, I saw a dense dot of light on the city wall. Li Qiang thought for a moment and asked, "What flickered on the wall was a magic rune, right?" ”
"Yes," replied the knight of Theon.
"The royal city of Rostas was built during the Millennium War by the prospering professions of that year. This rune is a god rune carved by a large number of magicians. And now to depict this kind of god rune, at least to reach the inhuman level. ”
When Li Qiang heard this amazing news, he couldn't help but let out a long breath and said, "There aren't many such buildings on the mainland now, right?" ”
Knight Cyne nodded and said to Li Qiang: "Yes, now there are only two such cities left on the True God Continent. Or maybe there is only this one left, and one of them is the legendary demon front. And the other one is Rostas. ”
Hearing such news, Li Qiang was a little puzzled and asked his doubts: "Why isn't the city where the Primitive Holy See is located like this?" I remember that in the past, the magicians were mainly trained by the Primitive Holy See. ”
Knight Cyne patiently continued: "It's not that the Primitive Holy See doesn't want to build such a city, but that the royal city of Rostas and the Demon Front were at the forefront of the Millennium War, and the resources were insufficient back then, so they were only enough to build these two cities, as for the future,"
Speaking of this, the knight of Sainsain paused, and then said with emotion: "Then you also know that the profession of magician has slowly withdrawn from the stage of history, and no one can establish a second such city. ”
Li Qiang nodded, staring at Wangcheng Rostas, not knowing what he was thinking.
Arriving at the city gate, the convoy was blocked by the guards of the city gate.
The knight of Sain dismounted from the carriage. Holding the badge representing Grand Duke Norris and the document written by Grand Duke Norris, he handed it to the officer, and after the officer confirmed that it was correct, he solemnly returned the document and badge to Knight Cyne, who took back the items and nodded.
Then, under the command of the officer, the soldiers moved out of the way, and the convoy slowly drove towards the city.
The motorcade first followed the road, successively passing through the lower city, the middle city, the palace, and the upper city. Stop at a location in the Uptown, a quaint manor house.
Knight Cyne explained to Li Qiang the reason: "This mansion is the property of Grand Duke Norris in the royal city. Let's take a break today. The formalities for an audience with the king will not be completed until tomorrow. ”
Li Qiang nodded to indicate that he understood, and then entered the manor with the convoy.
The moon was high in the sky that night, and the breeze was blowing. Li Qiang's bedroom is in a place on the second floor.
Li Qiang sat on the open-air balcony and took a sip of coffee. A long sigh of relief. I adjusted my posture very comfortably and continued to lean back on the chaise longue.
"How? Are you still used to living here? ”
Hearing this sudden question, Li Qiang looked up. I saw that the window on the third floor diagonally opposite was open, and a silver-haired girl dressed in pajamas was standing in front of the windowsill and blowing a breeze outside.
Li Qiang hurriedly sat down and said, "I'm still more used to living."
The girl nodded and didn't say anything more, just stared at the moon. There was no other action.
Li Qiang didn't speak, just looked at the girl, and slowly stopped moving.
There was no word all night, and early on the second day, everyone was ready to pack. Li Qiang also wore the aristocratic attire provided for him by Grand Duke Norris, as well as the lord's badge. Dressed up under the tidying up of the maids.
The group boarded the carriage, which slowly drove away from the manor. In the carriage, the Sain Knight explained to Li Qiang:
"This time we didn't meet at the government level, but in private, so we didn't go to the palace, but directly to the royal estate. So don't be too formal, the tone can be casual"
Li Qiang nodded and said he understood.
It didn't take long for the convoy to arrive at a sprawling manor. It is also a manor house made of a lot of marble, and the marble is shining with magical light.
The carriage passed through the forecourt to the main entrance, and with the help of the housekeepers and servants of the manor, they came to a reception hall.
The steward told the people: "His Majesty is discussing business with the second prince, and then he will come." ”
Edith nodded in understanding. Then sit in one of the seats in the reception hall. Li Qiang and Knight Sain stood together on the left and right sides behind the girl.
After a while. A middle-aged man with white hair and a young man with black hair behind him entered the arena together. Edith led Li Qiang and the Knight of Cyne to salute the king and introduce herself.
King Colin nodded, and then said to Edith, "Edith, come in with me. Let's talk inside. ”
"It's been a long time since I saw Sain, how are you doing now? Lately everything has been working well? The young man on the side suddenly asked Sain.
Hearing the young man's question, the knight replied, "Everything is the same as it is."
Then Sain pulled Li Qiang, pointed at Li Qiang with one hand and pointed at the young man with the other, and said, "Oh, I forgot to introduce, this is the king's second prince, Carl Gaunt, this is the Venerable Ryan Liszt, the lord of the Grand Duke's realm. ”
Carl shook Li Qiang's hand very warmly, and then hugged him. In the process of hugging, Carl seemed to confirm something, glanced at Sain with a meaningful look, and then let go of his embrace.
Immediately afterwards, the two chatted very warmly.
"Your Royal Highness, aren't you on the demon front? How did you get back to the royal city? Knight Tse asked the second prince, Karl.
"There's no way, I've heard that there are demon worshippers here, so I've been summoned back by my father to solve this matter." The second prince, Karl, replied.
"Demon worshippers, aren't these rats cleaned up before, why did they start to appear again?" The Cyon Knight had some doubts.
"yes, I don't know, so that's one of the reasons to come back and investigate."
