Chapter 144: The Enchantress
The Imperial Capital is a magical city, and the size of the city can be maintained at a maximum of one million with the current technology. No matter how big it is, the city's sewage and waste treatment, government management, and traffic carrying capacity will exceed the limit.
But the imperial capital had a population of two million, twice that number. The Royal Creon family has the largest number of mages outside of the Magic Tower, and even a Magister!
Relying on these magicians, Olmedo was able to adjust the urban structure of the imperial capital as he pleased. And this is not only in the Imperial Capital, but also in other territories actually controlled by the Creon family. As a result, the Creon family actually controlled a territory the size of an earldom, but had nearly a third of Rune's population. This is the main reason why so many people still submit to Creon's rule.
So the reason why Wayne, despite having very advanced weapons, can't compare to Creon.
Wayne looked at the hot invitation in his hand, and Renai said that he was going to have a party tonight, and he wanted Wayne to be there. Of course, this must have made the upper echelons of the imperial capital familiar with Wayne. After all, Wayne has been out of the city gate until now, and he has not met many nobles.
It's time to meet you.
Audrey was choosing the clothes she wanted to wear at night, and for some reason, although the wardrobe was full of the latest styles in the imperial capital that she had never seen, none of them went her way. For no other reason, Audrey was so irritable now that she didn't want to attend the banquet at all. Renai must have had some idea to fight Wayne.
Balde also got up early in the morning, and yesterday his father and eldest brother agreed to move and he was in a good mood. However, he has not forgotten his duty and tried his best to protect the safety of Young Master Wayne. So I rushed back at night.
Right at the gates of the city, an ordinary caravan was stopped. The merchant at the head pinched his sweat, and I don't know if the city defense army found the musket in the car!
The city guards in silver armor came up and said to the merchants.
"You guys were soldiers?"
The merchant reacted instantly, these are the elites of the Iron Fist Army, and there will be a murderous aura on their bodies. The city defense army in the imperial capital is not a dry meal, and it is normal to be recognized.
The merchant said flatteringly.
"My lord, my fellows have done some black work, and the head is dead, so I can't go down the mountain to make a living. I saw that they had the strength to take them in, so I guess not many people would dare to hit us on the road. After all, there are many thieves and robbers along the way. I'm kind of safe. ”
The merchant did not forget to hope that the soldiers would stuff a few silver coins in their hands.
The city defense army weighed the silver coins in his hand, six!
"You're clever enough to think of this method. Then you can go over. ”
"Thank you, sir. ”
The merchant breathed a sigh of relief, expecting that the musket would be searched. So he deliberately hid the musket in the bottom compartment. It took a lot of effort, but I didn't expect the fork to appear on people.
This matter should be reported to the superiors, and we must pay attention to this aspect in the future.
Soon the merchant found the person who connected and quickly found the stronghold.
At this time, in the residence of the third prince, Aaron looked at the information that had just been sent. This Renai played a good hand and arranged the venue of the banquet in his house, but the organizer was Wayne.
In this case, there will definitely be a lot of people going to the banquet at that time, and it will be indispensable to win over those wall grasses, and you can also use Wayne's banner. Renai is really a good dog in Olmedo.
"Sieg. ”
Hearing Aaron's shout, Sig immediately covered the incense burner that burned the enchantress. Recovered from the pleasure of trance.
Aaron hated this addictive thing so much that he tried to persuade Sieg not to smoke it many times. But Sieg still didn't listen. As long as he didn't delay things, Sieg still felt okay.
"Sieg, you can go to tonight's banquet too. ”
"Hmm, what am I going to do, that old fox of Renai will definitely not welcome me, and I will not send invitations. I guess no one even let me in. ”
Aaron shook his head and said preciously.
"Sieg, it's because he doesn't welcome you that you're going. You just go trick-or-treating, and don't let the old guy's plan succeed. Although I am now seventy or eighty percent ready, I still hope that Olmedo has less strength. ”
Seeing that Aaron was so solemn, Sig nodded.
As Aaron expected, Renai cleverly did not send invitations to those who already had backers. Most of the invitees are marquis and the like, and the power of these wall grasses is still very objective, although it is not as good as the eldest prince and the fourth prince. But you know, Olmedo doesn't seem to have much power in his hands now, and a duke is not willing to bet on this emperor who does not live more than twenty days.
Even with so little strength in Olmedo, Aaron was clearly unwilling to let the dying old man add the slightest bit of strength. He was still quite jealous of this old man, after all, how could a person who had been dealing with intrigues all his life compromise so easily. Let the two princes fight each other.
When the sun is setting in the west and the world is sinking into darkness. Lanterns were lit all over the imperial capital to illuminate the night. It's like an orange firefly in the night.
Renai personally greeted the guests at the door.
But the arrival of a different carriage displeased Renais, and the gilded eagle emblem on it was not used by anyone but the royal family. Sieg got out of the car and greeted Renai very warmly.
"It's been a long time since I saw you, Lord Renai, and I've heard you've got a dinner party, so I'm here to join in the fun. I hope you don't dislike it. ”
Renai looked at Sieg like a fly that couldn't be driven away.
"Your Highness, I repeat it. It wasn't me who hosted this dinner with Master Wayne. But I'm glad I'm here. ”
Sieg smiled heartily.
"Then I won't bother you, Lord Renais. ”
Here's another carriage coming up, also with a golden eagle logo on it!
Renai and Sieg looked at the door at the same time, and it seemed that another one had come uninvited.
The eldest prince Rodriguez got out of the carriage and saw Sieg. The eldest prince has the face of a politician, long ears, square cheeks, and wide cheeks. Gentle and majestic, loyal and wise.
Seeing Sieg, Rodriguez said in surprise.
"I didn't expect the third brother to come to see our future brother-in-law. ”
Sieg was obviously a little surprised, it was not a good thing for the eldest prince to come, and this guy was probably making some calculations.
But he replied enthusiastically.
"Big brother, this is not how it should be. Our Audrey is known as the pearl of the imperial capital, and I want to take a good look at whether our future brother-in-law is worthy of our Audrey. ”
Rodriguez laughed out loud.
"Hahaha, the third brother can't say that. As long as the father and Audrey are satisfied. That's it, let's not make things difficult for our future brother-in-law. ”
