Chapter 12: The Reinhardt Family
(It's almost the end of the month, and I want to review it to everyone, and it's my fault that this month's update isn't good.) It's been a little busy this month, and it's halfway to the shelves, so it's a little slack! )
(…… Well, according to the general urine nature, after the review, it is a sign of determination, and next month to strive for the next monthly ticket. 6,000 words per day, plus occasional outbreaks. )

"Soldier, inform your Count of my arrival at once. From the North, the Duke of Reinhardt's family, I am the son of the Duke, Augustus. Aaron. Reinhart! ”
As Aaron lifted off his cloak, he revealed the conspicuous silver hair and silver eyes underneath the hood, as well as a resolute, handsome cheek.
The honorable name spreads through the square. At this moment, the crowd of onlookers suddenly exploded.
"Oh my God, Reinhardt, I heard you right. A member of the Imperial Duke's line? I heard that the royal family of the North is going through the test of war. ”
"The ruler of the vast northern continent, the guardian of the Wall of Despair. Heroic and brave royal blood. Obviously, the Duke and Prince were able to reach Shigang City, and they must have repelled the invasion from the west. ”
"Today, Shigang City welcomes a true nobleman."
In the midst of the noise and discussions, there were even many civilians who consciously knelt down and humbly bowed their heads.
As we all know, in addition to the six central realms of the Central Empire, most of the rest are divided into four vast continents: eastern, western, southern, and northern, which are directly ruled by the four imperial duke families.
To understand how high the status and power of an imperial duke is, one can use a contrast, a large nobleman such as an earl is usually only the lord of a city, but under the hands of an imperial duke. Have at least a hundred counts' allegiance.
In the eyes of almost everyone, there is a perception that the duke is equivalent to the royal family, majesty and fame, only under the holy imperial royal family.
Everything happened so suddenly and unexpectedly that the captain of the Praetorian Guard, a little unable to believe his ears, his unconsciously beating eyes, glanced up and down at Aaron, and there were no shoes on the feet of the other party. He still swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and asked in a trembling voice, "Your Royal Highness Prince Reinhardt, honorable, please...... Please prove your identity. ”
Suspicion and questioning of an imperial duke, the more arrogant and daring part of the Praetorian Guard Captain in the performance of his duties. Although Aaron's dress was incompatible with his reported status, the other party's silver hair and silver eyes. It is possible that it is really a duke prince. This made the Janissary Captain's throat feel dry, and he swallowed two or three mouthfuls of saliva in succession.
The weapons used by the Janissaries are hooked and sickled on the back of the halberd, the surface of the halberd is an axe, and the spear is placed at the top, and the length is about 3 meters.
Surrounded by layers of blades. Aaron could feel that Lidong's little palms were full of wet sweat.
And she grabbed Aaron's hand so hard, and her little pale face, blown by the air, was full of worry and fear.
"Lidong. Brother is by your side, don't be afraid. ”
Aaron leaned down and looked at Ridong nodding, the corners of his mouth brushing a smile. Then he straightened up and looked up at the sky.
Noon on the last winter day.
The sun breaks through the heavy clouds and stops in the sky, and when you look closely, the sunlight that falls has little by little shadows and moves, like wisps of smoke. Gone is the chill that is chilling to the marrow, replaced by a recovering warmth, and an empty and lonely state of mind.
The sense of the Greenway Holy City and the Temple of Nothingness is getting stronger and stronger, and the time to resume the summoning seems to be a little earlier than Aaron expected.
"Reinhardt's precepts are as immovable as a mountain, as solid as a rock!"
With a cold shout, the captain of the Praetorian Guard had a sharp pain in his arm, and he felt that the cross sword had already been taken out of his hand and fell into Aaron's hands with a flicker in front of him.
The eight-star brutal attribute has returned to Aaron's body. This indicates that Aaron is under a forbidden spell, and that all the dark and evil bonds on his body have dissipated.
"The wood-type elf warriors of the Greenway Nature Holy City, obey my call."
In the dark, a summoning traveled through distant spaces and distances.
Suddenly, Aaron's eyes were as sharp as a bird's, and perhaps he couldn't prove himself as Prince Reinhardt.
But it can prove what kind of existence the master who is sung everywhere by the bards and prayed and worshiped by the summoners of the void and the summoners of the greenway every day.
In an uproar, two hundred Praetorian Guards armed with halberds marched forward in unison.
There was a commotion in the crowd of onlookers nearby, and Aaron grabbed Lidong, took a step back, clasped his sword with one hand, and his eyes were cold and stiff.
But at this moment-
"Stop!" A voice came.
The middle-aged nobleman who appeared in the field of vision, about forty years old, stood at the gate of the palace, not wearing a helmet, but carrying a cross sword diagonally at his waist.
Thick eyebrows and curly hair, with some dense stubble on the chin. The weather-beaten face seemed to be made of red copper, and on the broad forehead, there were a few deep wrinkles that showed a bit of a vulture.
"Okko, get out of the way, don't stand in the way of the honorable Prince Reinhardt!"
The middle-aged nobleman who spoke, named Riji, was known to many as the nephew of the Earl of Shigang City. As for his order, as the commander of the Praetorian Guard, Riggi had this right.
Although, in Rigie's heart, Aaron's identity is equally questioned.
However, as long as it can make today's muddy waters even more turbid, it seems to be something that can make him happy.
In the circle of every nobleman, there is hidden intrigue, jealousy, greed, and lust, and Rigi, who is over forty years old, is only one of them.
Because of the drive of interests, he was not happy to see the marriage between Shigang City and Eagle's Nest City.
Shigang City was the trading hub of the entire empire, and the nobles of this trading city were generally very wealthy and greedy. Of course, both of these conditions are on the premise that the Earl is getting older and older, and his sons are all incompetent.
Now, with two more eagle daughters, it will be followed by a group of emerging nobles from Eagle's Nest City, such a future scene. It has obviously hurt the interests of the entire Shigang City aristocratic group.
The nobles of Shigang City, represented by Riji, did not want to see the daughter of the eagle as the master behind Shigang City. They conspired to prevent this from happening, even by force.
With a bang, a halberd forest about 3 meters long spread out in front of Aaron. The well-trained Praetorian Guards were very obedient to Riggie's orders.
Until now, no one seemed to notice that the sun, whose face had just been revealed, was being re-obscured by a thick swirling cloud, and the entire sky was shrouded in a 'belated' forbidden curse.
In the terrible whirlpool of dark clouds, there seemed to be two gates. Slowly pushing away to both sides.
"Duke of the Northern Empire, Prince Augustus. Aaron. Reinhardt! ”
Riggie deliberately used his high voice to spread this noble title and name to the square and send it to the palace.
After startling a group of people, then lower your body. Make an inviting gesture.
"The Reinhardt royal family and its subordinate Eagle's Nest City have an ancient tradition of marriage, and there is a good show to watch today."
For the Reinhardt family. Riggie still has some understanding in his heart.
With the death of the old duke of the North. There are also successive wars, so that the Reinhardt family is no longer what it used to be, and now under the attack of the west, it has continued to retreat, and has lost more than half of the land in the north.
"The Reinhardt family, there are only some old honors left. and some historical stories that have been scraped out of the pages of the book......"
"If the identity of this young man is true, it is really surprising that Prince Reinhardt has been reduced to the point of a beggar, and I believe it will not be long before the dignified Prince Reinhardt has been reduced to the level of a beggar. The heroic Reinhardt family will be completely wiped out. ”
While thinking this in his heart, Riji gave his subordinates a meaningful look.
Obviously, there is something else going to happen today.
…………
In full view of half of the people of Shigang City, Aaron dragged Lidong with one hand, walked step by step through the central avenue of the square, and then walked up the white marble steps. The white and magnificent huge palace always radiates a cold and noble light in the horizon, so that the footsteps and eyes of ordinary people can never reach it.
"Target - General-type figure, riot index, 900 points."
The huge palace door, sweeping the faces of the middle-aged nobles, Aaron turned around and swept in several different directions, and around this magnificent white palace, there were many rebellion data that were about to explode. This discovery can't help but make Aaron's pair of burning eyes hidden deep under his thick eyebrows, which are full of boundless playfulness and interest.
"I have to say that this marriage has become more and more interesting......
Set off the silver hair and silver eyes, it fell into Rigie's eyes, and when the 'Prince Reinhardt' looked at him, the corners of his mouth sketched an evil smile.
"Did he find something?" Rigi thought in horror.
Step into the long columned corridor that leads to the hall where the palace is hosting a wedding reception.
The murals painted on the walls have survived thousands of years, but they are still bright and beautiful against the backdrop of precious stones, including gold decorations on both sides, accumulating and exuding a mixture of wealth, luxury, and desire. To be honest, although Aaron didn't like this kind of extravagant scene, it didn't affect him to look at the luxury of an earl and nobleman with an 'appreciative' eye. Especially when Aaron, who had sensed the giant eagle figure of the Greenway Holy City Warriors, was already approaching the sky of the city.
"Wow!"
The warm air in the palace made Lidong's little face red and as cute as a ripe apple. She stared at the extravagant scene, as if she had stepped into a strange dream world. Stretching out his hand, stroking the raised wall lines, and suddenly meeting the guard's menacing gaze, Lidong stuck out his tongue, and hurried back to Aaron's side, firmly grasping his arm.
Under the guidance of the waiter, about five minutes later, in a loud announcement, Aaron took Lidong's little hand and officially walked into the most luxurious and spacious palace hall of the palace.
"The next official to enter the wedding banquet is the Duke and Prince of the North, Augustus. Aaron. Reinhart! (To be continued......)
