Chapter 12: Arrival at the Royal Capital

When Lu Ming left the village, many villagers came to see him off, and Lily waved his hand vigorously at him, very reluctant.

In the end, Lu Ming and Lifa still left here and headed towards Wang Duxing.

The royal capital was not close to this village, and there were no pedestrians along the way, so Lu Ming simply took Lifa at full speed and swept towards the royal capital.

Until the vicinity of the royal capital, the number of pedestrians around them gradually increased, and Lu Ming put away his speed, and a prosperous city had appeared in front of them.

The huge city that can't be seen, the towering city walls, and the endless stream of residents at the city gate, no matter how you look at it, are not comparable to the small village that Lu Ming passed by.

Just the caravan of people coming and going at the city gate is already more than the people of a village.

This is the royal capital.

Lu Ming sighed in his heart and walked towards the city gate with Lifa.

At the gate of the city, there were several teams of guards holding their hands, Lu Ming took a look, these guards were just some low-level soldiers of the more than ten levels, and the ones who were responsible for guarding the gate should be the lowest class of troops in the kingdom.

Entering the city needs to be checked, Lu Ming hesitated, whether he wanted to take out the king's invitation, but this seemed too high-profile.

What he didn't expect was that before he could make a decision, the guards guarding the city saw the long sword at his waist, immediately changed their faces, hurriedly gave their companions a look, and then ran into the city.

"Hmm...... Should it be said that it is not a loss to the royal capital, any guard can recognize the holy sword. ”

Lu Ming complained.

didn't let them wait long, an officer ran down from the city gate in a panic, Lu Ming looked at him about forty levels, as soon as he appeared, these nearby guards who were a little overwhelmed because they saw the brave man, calmed down, Lu Ming guessed that he should be the general in charge of guarding the city gate.

"I'm sorry, Lord Brave, we're late, I didn't expect you to arrive in the royal capital so soon, please come into the city."

The general, who was in charge of guarding the city gate, lowered his posture very low in front of Lu Ming, with a warm smile on his face.

The other party is a brave man, and he can be described as an unattainable human hero for him, and this general also feels honored to have the opportunity to meet him.

It's a pity that the reception is the reception, and it is not he who is responsible for entertaining the brave next, and the kingdom will send people of higher status over.

"Lord Brave, the king heard that you arrived early, and brought forward the palace banquet in a few days to this evening, and during the day, please go to the vicinity of the palace to rest for a while, and the Duke of Cruise will receive you later."

The general said that while leading Lu Ming into the city gate, he told the arrangement that His Majesty the King had just given, but he didn't expect to be rejected by Lu Ming after speaking.

"No need, we will take a walk in the royal capital by ourselves during the day, and at night, we will find ourselves to go to the palace."

"This ......"

The general in charge of the message immediately became embarrassed, this is an order handed down by His Majesty the King himself, and the duke in charge of receiving it is the king's favorite minister in recent years.

"The affairs of the adults are decided by the adults themselves, why, a mere duke still has the adults to wait for him personally?"

Seeing the appearance of the general, Lifa was immediately dissatisfied, and the chief maid glared at him majestically, which immediately made the general's face pale.

At that moment, he felt as if he was dying, and his heart suddenly stopped.

Fortunately, the other party's gaze did not stay on him for too long, otherwise he suspected that he would suffocate to death in a short time.

Phew, worthy of being a brave man, even the maids around him are so terrifying, such a momentum, even those knights don't have it, right?

The general speculated in his heart, and at the same time did not dare to object to anything, but bowed his head and responded obediently:

"Then, my lord, go ahead, duke, I'll explain."

Lu Ming nodded, and at the same time patted the other party's shoulder and comforted him:

"You don't have to worry, when your Duke Crusu comes, tell him that I must go by myself, you are already trying your best to persuade me."

It's Duke Cruise......

The general lowered his head and muttered in his heart with a wry smile, but Lu Ming was right, since it was the decision of the brave, then it would not change because of a small person like him, and the Duke should not be too embarrassed for him when the time comes.

"Gone, Lifa."

After calming the general's emotions, Lu Ming left the city gate with Lifa and walked towards the inside of the royal capital.

Entering the royal capital, Lu Ming found that the higher the terrain was in the center, and the closer it was to the middle, the status of the residents was getting higher and higher.

There are still some stone and wooden houses near the city gate, and in the distance, the buildings gradually become taller.

In particular, the splendid palace hall in the center of the royal capital stands on the highest part of the terrain like a city in the sky.

It saved him the time of searching for the palace, and he could find it at any time by looking up.

When he first came to the royal capital, Lu Ming naturally went around the periphery with Lifa first.

It was all a place for civilians, with uneven stone-paved roads, and on either side of the road, there were tents, some fruit buyers and some grocery stores.

Occasionally, I would pass by a few noisy taverns, and it seemed that these civilians were living quite happily.

It's just that this atmosphere didn't last long, and it was broken by the sound of horses' hooves.

There was a look of panic on the faces of the civilians around them, and I don't know who shouted, 'It's Viscount Deco's carriage!' The nearby civilians panicked, hurriedly put down what they were doing, and dodged on both sides of the street, for fear of accidentally crashing into the carriage of the Viscount.

Within half a minute, a large carriage appeared on the narrow street, and the two horses galloped wildly, and the groom in the carriage did not care who they would bump into, and 'whoosh' the horses rushed out of the street.

Then the civilians returned to their places in droves, and the streets were bustling with activity again, as if nothing had happened.

The actions of the nobles are not something that they commoners can discuss.

Only Lu Ming looked at the carriage that disappeared at the end of the street, and muttered thoughtfully:

"This is a place where civilians live, and it's not a road out of the city, what is that nobleman doing here?"

"Let's go, Lifa, let's go along and have a look."

Immediately, Lu Ming made a decision and chased after the place where the carriage had left.

After Lu Ming and Lifa turned out of the street, they found that the carriage had stopped on the side of the road, and it was empty.

At an underground entrance in the distance, Lu Ming accidentally caught a glimpse of several figures dressed in satin, and he pulled Lifa to chase after him.

This is an underground staircase that leads to no one, and the entrance is only the size of a person, and after Lu Ming and Lifa barely walked down, they found a dim underground passage.

"Where does this lead?"

Lu Ming muttered to himself, the figure in front of him had already disappeared.
