Chapter 125: The King Capital
The next day, Valado showed the letter of appointment to the lord of the city and asked for his resignation. The city lord didn't keep it, but the eyes he looked at him a little strangely, even with a little hostility, which made Valado feel a little inexplicable. He thinks that his relationship with the city lord is still good, and he has not done anything to offend the city lord recently. And so, Valado left Boulder City with a stomach full of doubts, and went to the place he had always dreamed of, the royal capital of Jerusalem.
After nearly half a month of trekking, Valado finally came to Jerusalem, looking at this ancient city that existed from ancient times, Yanjing where all the human races once existed, Valado felt a breath of ancient desolation coming to his face. The nearly 100-meter-high city wall tells the vicissitudes of history, and how many Terran heroes have stood on this wall to fight with aliens.
He seemed to see countless heroic Terran soldiers standing on the city wall, constantly holding their bows and shooting arrows, and countless magicians forming magic arrays one after another, casting strategic magic that destroyed the world and the earth. Under the city walls, the alien soldiers carried long ladders or pushed climbing carts and crashed cars to rush to the city walls, while the alien mages held up magic shields to protect the soldiers below. Countless arrows and magic struck the alien soldiers below, and blood flew everywhere.
The alien soldiers and mages also returned fire, arrows, stones, and magic shooting down on the soldiers and mages on the walls from below. The shield warriors of the human race raised their large shields one after another to block the front to withstand those attacks, and suddenly a fighting shield appeared on the city wall, protecting the soldiers and magicians behind. In some places, the Douqi shield was broken, and in order to protect the comrades behind, the shield warriors used their flesh and blood to block those attacks. Seeing this, the other soldiers immediately burst into tears and desperately attacked the alien soldiers to avenge their comrades.
When the war fell into a stalemate, the masters of the alien race and the strong men of the human race appeared one after another, changing the world and moving mountains and seas with a wave of their hands. For the continuation and prosperity of the race, the heroes shed blood and tears on the battlefield, leaving behind a story of singing and crying for future generations to mourn.
Valador's hand gently caressed the mottled walls, and from time to time there were hints of red in the cracks of the walls, which were the marks of those heroes. He touched a sword mark in his hand, and the deep sword mark was nearly ten centimeters deep, leaving a ten-centimeter-deep sword mark on the city wall made of the Absolute Demon Stone, and this person was also the lowest mid-rank sword god. Valado pressed his hand on the sword mark, wanting to feel the demeanor of the sword god at that time.
"This is the third Great War of the Hundred Clans, the Terran Sword God Lewis left, and along with this sword mark, there is also the wolf head of the first master of the werewolf clan of the Beast Clan, the Demon Wolf."
An old voice came from behind him, and Valado quickly turned his head to look at the man, but it was an old man with white hair, although the old man was rickety, but a strong power emanated from him. Valado looked at the old man, and although he didn't know him, his feelings told him that the old man was not simple. He hurriedly bowed to the old man and said respectfully:
"Hello, old man!"
The old man ignored his courtesy, but went up and down a lot of him, and then stroked his beard and smiled: "Not bad! Not bad! ”
Then he didn't give him a chance to speak, and turned around and left.
Valado was confused for a moment, and then several soldiers came over, it turned out that Valado had been standing at the gate of the city in a daze for nearly an hour, and the city guards saw that he was acting strangely, so they sent a few soldiers to check.
The soldiers fanned around, and one of them, who was clearly the leader of the squad, spoke:
"Who are you? What are you doing sneakily standing at the gates of the city? ”
Valado was speechless for a moment, he, the general of the city guard, was actually regarded as a soldier under his command. Depressed, he took out the waist card from his arms and handed it to the team leader, and the team leader suddenly turned white when he saw the waist card. The squad leader wept and handed the waist card to Valado with both hands, and then knelt down on one knee and said respectfully: "I don't know if the general is here, I hope the general will forgive." ”
Valado had just arrived in the royal capital, and he didn't want to erect any enemies. Moreover, there are many dignitaries and nobles in this royal capital, and there are even more people who can have a relationship with dignitaries. In this royal capital. If you throw a spell and kill ten people, then two of them are high-ranking officials or nobles, and the other seven are family members or relatives of those dignitaries, and the remaining one is a servant of the nobles. Although it is a bit exaggerated, it is enough to show how many people are related to this royal capital.
Valado, a new foreign official, if he just came, he accidentally waited for some high-ranking officials and nobles, and the better ones were idle, and he was sent to a Qingshui Yamen with no rights to eat and wait for death; If it's serious, it may be a corpse on the streets tomorrow. So it's better to keep a low profile.
He stepped forward to help the squad leader and said in a harmonious voice: "Those who don't know are not guilty, and the captain doesn't have to be like this." Valado didn't know the way to the palace when he first arrived, and hoped that the captain would take me to the palace. ”
The captain of the squad was immediately flattered when he saw that Valado was so polite, and said with excitement on his face: "Your Excellency is polite, I will take you to the palace." ”
After saying that, he asked his soldiers to continue to guard the city gates, and he led Valado to the palace. Not far from the city gate, the old man who had spoken before looked at Valado with a smile on his face and muttered to himself: "Not bad, not bad, knowing how to advance and retreat, is a good seedling!" ”
Valado followed the squad leader for nearly two hours before arriving at the gate of the palace, and during this half an hour, Valado deliberately chatted with the squad leader and learned a lot about the royal capital, no wonder the people were the gathering place for news.
According to the captain of this squad, the officials and nobles of the royal capital are now divided into two factions, one group supports the king, which is called the royalist faction; One faction supported the eldest prince and was called the princeling faction; There is also a faction that remains neutral and is known as the neutral faction. Among them, the royalists were the strongest, the last was the princeling, and finally the neutral. As the old king grew older, the power of the royalists became smaller and smaller, while the strength of the princes gradually increased, and there was a faint tendency to surpass the royalists.
In this royal capital that is constantly standing in line, the royal legion of the kingdom naturally needs to find its own team, and the royal legion is also divided into three factions, the leader of the royal legion is the guardian of the kingdom, the sword god of the wind, Mubot is the elder brother of the previous king, and he only knows that he does nothing about cultivation all year round, so each subordinate legion has its own reading strength. The Magic Legion is a neutral faction, the Archer Legion is a prince, and the Swordsman Legion and the Knight Legion belong to the royalist faction. The three factions saw that they didn't like each other, but they didn't make any big trouble, but they usually had small contradictions.
・・・・・・
After listening to the words of the squad leader, Valado knew why the city lord was a little hostile to him at that time, because he was in the prince faction of the archer legion, but the city lord was a staunch royalist. Because when the squad leader mentioned the royalists, he specifically mentioned the city lord of Boulder City, because he used to serve in the royal capital, but he was rushed to Boulder City by the prince's faction for an opportunity.
