The Arnas Empire, the imperial capital of Avias!

It is a city built on the intersection of rivers, where the Domis and Flon rivers converge and flow down the Garden Plains, which nourish large areas of land on both sides of the river and make the Garden Plains a rich agricultural base.

It was once one of the three most important agricultural bases of the Griffon Empire, and at its peak, the crops produced here were used to feed most of the Griffon Empire.

Located at the mouth of the river, Avia was originally a commercial city for the transit of agricultural products, and the busy water transport of two rivers provided the city with a great deal of wealth. With the fall of the Griffon Dynasty, Duke Romeron established the Arnas Empire around it, and changed the family's name from Romeron to Minehir.

After dozens of generations of emperors, Avia became what it is now. Although the city is not as holy as the Holy City and not as mysterious as the magical capital of Dalaran, the people of Arnass who live here make the city full of atmosphere and beauty, and are full of pride and confidence as citizens of the Empire.

The castle of Minethil is not located in the center of the city, but next to the city walls, occupying a small part of the eastern part of the city, and this palace also functions as a fortress, with a complete functional building inside, even if the entire outer city falls, the castle alone can last for a long time.

The aristocratic district was close to the royal palace, but because the Arnas Empire adopted the aristocratic feudal system pursued by the Griffon Dynasty, most of the noble mansions did not occupy a large area, not so much mansions, but villas set up by the great nobles in the imperial capital.

But there is one house that stands out, covering an area the size of half the size of Minethil Castle, and the walls around the mansion are much higher than the other noble villas, only slightly lower than the walls not far away.

Unlike other nobles, this glamorous countess did not have an actual fief, but this was not because she could not afford to obtain her own domain, in fact, the countess repeatedly refused the rewards of His Majesty Emperor Irenas. Many people think that this countess is the one who really wants to revive the empire, and the commoners who have received favors regard him as the only noble nobleman in this world who is willing to give everything for the people.

It has to be said that in less than twenty years, the black dragon princess Onexia was able to establish such an influence, and all this was not done by her powerful power as a black dragon, but through her excellent political wisdom. By now, this black dragon princess has become an indispensable minister of the empire in the heart of Emperor Irenas. Therefore, Yu Bin had to send Marshal Wendsol back to the Arnas Empire, and only by letting His Excellency the Marshal reveal the true face of the Black Dragon Princess in front of everyone, Emperor Arenas would not choose to believe in the countess's innocence because he was bewitched.

And now, the black dragon princess, who had just enjoyed a delicate lunch, was bathing in the late autumn sun in the backyard, and breathed the fragrance of wheat in the air, but was completely ruined by a sudden news.

"You mean, that idiot wants to leave it alone now?" The black dragon princess who has turned into a human has a delicate face that captivates the country and the city, even the most hard-hearted person can't bear to hurt this seemingly weak countess, and it is no wonder that many great nobles are fascinated by her, but so far no one has been able to become a winner.

The butler replied respectfully, "Yes, Your Highness Princess! I also just received a message from a messenger sent by His Royal Highness the Prince, Marshal Windsor accidentally discovered our identity during the investigation of the Black Dragon Legion, and His Highness Nefarian had his lieutenant Flegel hunt down Marshal Windsol, but let people escape into the heart of the molten fire. ”

"And then that stubborn stone head who only knows how to stick to the knight's dogma doesn't know who rescued him, and now he has safely escaped from Blackstone Mountain and is on his way back to the Empire, right?" Onexia sat up from the chaise longue, stared at the butler with a pair of beautiful eyes, and asked coldly.

"As you said, Your Royal Highness the Princess!"

"So, what is my titular brother, His Royal Highness the Venerable Prince of our Black Dragon Clan, doing? Could it be that his Black Dragon Legion has left the Black Stone Mountain and become a waste that can't even stretch its wings? ”

"His Highness Nefarian's explanation is that because of some circumstances, his Black Dragon Legion is now engaged in an all-out war with the Flamewalker Legion, and in order not to affect the attack on the Molten Heart, he has to leave this matter to you to deal with!"

"So he threw this mess at me?" Onexia laughed angrily, "Hehe, my brother is really calculating! ”

"Your Royal Highness is saying that all this was deliberately done by Her Highness Nefarian?"

"Humph! Even if he didn't deliberately let Wendthor go, at least he sat back and watched him be rescued! In the eyes of that idiot, everything I did as a human was nothing more than to take control of the Arnas Empire! Compared to this, the more important goal is to destroy the Fire Elemental Lord Ragnaros, devour his power, and become the leader of the Black Dragon Clan again! Onexia sneered and said, "It seems that the reappearance of Sinisterra has put a lot of pressure on him, otherwise, with his character, he will continue to find ways to accumulate strength and further weaken the strength of the Flamewalker Legion." ”

"It seems that His Highness Nefarian has a big opinion about us being outside of his leadership." The butler is also a black dragon, and the basic strength of the black dragon that can transform into a human form is at the legendary level, as the most trusted member of the black dragon princess, he naturally has no reverence for Nefarian.

Onexia stood up and took a few steps: "He just wants to force me to give up everything here through this means, and when the time comes, I will not be able to gain a foothold in the Arnas Empire, so I can only defect to him, with my help, his plan to devour Ragnaros has a greater chance of success!" And I think he's probably also fighting the idea of those dragon eggs! ”

"Yes! We've been told many times in Blackwing's Lair that a batch of eggs will be destroyed every once in a while, and from the fragments of dragon eggs we've collected, we've been able to see that someone is trying to copy our recipe. ”

"It's not hard to guess! He may not be able to understand what those dragon eggs mean, but he can definitely judge their importance! Onexia stopped and said to the butler, "I must make a trip to Blackwing's Lair, for I fear that fool will spawn those dragon eggs in defiance of our agreement!" I'm going to talk to Nefarian face to face, and if he's determined to solve Ragnaros' problem once and for all, then I'll have to bring back those eggs!" That's the capital we rely on to control the world! ”

"But what about Marshal Windsor's problem? Letting that human move around is likely to affect His Majesty's thoughts, and we can't afford to take that risk! The butler said eagerly, "Even if you bring back the dragon eggs, we will need enough time and materials to make more dragon eggs, without the entire Arnas Empire providing us with these materials, the number of young dragons that can successfully hatch will be greatly reduced!" ”

"Of course I understand that!" Onexia thought of a way as she walked, "Just in case, I'm going to Blackstone Mountain this time to find a way to get Prince Rasfil to accompany me, he just needs some merit to show his abilities, and the reason to go to the Burning Plains to rescue Marshal Wendsol won't make him suspicious." As for Windsor, do everything you can to prevent him from entering Avia City, just wait for me to come back, there is a way to clean him up! ”

The butler frowned: "Relying on those mercenaries who were bribed by us, most of the news about the Burning Plains was intercepted in several surrounding provinces, and it is not impossible for them to pay attention to Wendsol's movements, but if you want to prevent him from entering Avia City, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve without a formal excuse." ”

"Excuses?" Onexia glanced at the butler coldly, "It's time like this, what excuse do you need!" You can find a nobleman in the city to assassinate him, and then seal off the entire city under the pretext of searching for assassins! As long as I bring those dragon eggs back safely, the Minethil family will no longer need to continue to exist! ”

"Follow your orders, Your Highness Princess!"

"If you don't stop that human from contacting Irenus, then send someone to inform me immediately!" "When the time comes," said Onexia, "I will turn Rasfil into my puppet, and then support him as emperor, wipe out Irenus and the others who oppose us, and support those nobles who have taken refuge in us!" ”

The butler smiled and replied, "I think His Royal Highness Prince Rasfil will be happy to be a toy of His Royal Highness the Princess, after all, he pursued you so passionately in the first place!" ”

"It's a pity that he seems to have been empathetic lately! I've heard of his little lover, the little girl of the Holy See, who seems to be very talented, what is it called? ”

"Raphael, Your Highness! Not long ago, the holy woman of the foolish people came to visit you! ”

"Ahh Yes, you're right! I remember! To be honest, the ant was so small that I wasn't even impressed! Onexia finally remembered after being reminded by the butler, "Our Royal Highness the prince still has a good eye, and that little girl is indeed so beautiful that I can see it!" ”

"Compared to your beauty, it is like a bright moon compared to fluorescence!"

"Well, no matter how nice you say, it's useless! Now, go and send an invitation to Prince Rasfil and invite him to this evening's feast! ”

At the same time, Raphael, who had just returned from the Oberline Kingdom and had not even warmed up the quilt, was pulled out of bed by Tiramisu who suddenly broke in.

Tiramisu, who was overjoyed, shook the news in his hand and said happily: "Look, Raphael, our luck is too good!" ”

"What's wrong?" Raphael, who was already exhausted, had to fight against the attack of the Sandman, tried to open his eyelids, and said.

In the past few days, because Yu Bin has been busy with birth and death in Black Stone Mountain, Raphael has not been strictly disciplined for the time being, so she is often immersed in the game for a long time, which causes her to often appear in a state of exhaustion, which is also a situation unique to some life races, after a fierce battle or a long time without a good rest, the character will be tired, and even faint in a negative state, the former will reduce the character's attributes and make it difficult for the player to control the body movements, and a sleep check must be performed every certain time, The latter will directly experience prolonged vertigo.

"See for yourself! Well, you probably don't recognize any words now, so I'll tell you! Tiramisu kept irritating Raphael like a mischief, just not letting her sleep, "After we visited the Duke of Rosesda a few days ago, didn't you send several teams to the Burning Plains to find Marshal Wendsol's traces?" Silbe's team was lucky enough to find the marshal and was already on their way back to the Arnas Empire. ”

"Straight to the point? Not some clue or something? Raphael was a little surprised.

"That's right, that's why I said our luck came!"

"What else did Sylbe say?"

"There isn't much information other than killing a few players from the Chaos Camp when he found the Marshal, but it seems that Marshal Windsor is angry about this, wondering, when did that Marshal hook up with the players of the Chaos Camp? Do you think there is something hidden in this? Tiramisu's gossip spirit as a woman suddenly exploded at this moment, and all kinds of conspiracies were made up in his mind in an instant.

"Please, that kind of thing is more incredible than a novel, do you really think it will happen? He is also so brainy that he thinks that Marshal Wendsol has colluded with the chaotic camp to seek power and usurp the throne, you have this spare time, you might as well go and inspect our industrial shops! Raphael, who couldn't stop the Sandman's attack, kicked Tiramisu out, "Okay, okay, I'm going to sleep, don't bother me!" ”

The door slammed shut, but Tiramisu was still immersed in his fantasies.

"Well, I still can't figure it out, why would Marshal Windsor be with a few players from the chaotic faction? Attacked? It's not like that! According to Silbert, it seems that those players are still protecting the marshal! If only that guy could catch one, but unfortunately, the orc and the lizardman were killed on the spot, and only the dark elf escaped, otherwise he could have found a way to ask for some information! Maybe there's a special mission hidden here! ”
