In front of Standwell, Moriarty looked up and sighed.

It's been many years since the last time I was here, and it's as if everything is right and wrong.

Only the majestic royal city in front of him remains unchanged, still standing silently, guarding the core of mankind.

"On behalf of Her Majesty the Queen, I would like to welcome you to Standwell from the bottom of my heart. Her Royal Highness Princess Betita, Her Royal Highness Prince Haiber, Your Excellency John Cairns, Your Majesty is also very pleased with your safe return. He ordered you to go to the Eagle Palace to rest first, and His Majesty would personally summon you in the evening. ”

It was only when Moriarty lowered his raised eyes that Cisse, who had been waiting for the chief chamberlain and the honorary baron of the court in front of the city gates, led the other welcoming officials to meet him.

"Sisse-sama, I'm here to greet you."

Betita looked at the old man who was over sixty years old, full of hair but in good spirits, and returned the salute gently.

Although the other party is not in a high position, he is the queen's confidant, who is in charge of the affairs of the inner court all the year round and is deeply trusted. He came forward to greet him, which can be regarded as a very courtesy.

"It's an honor to meet you, Lord Cisse."

Before coming, Moriarty also did his homework, and also asked Count Salk about some "political climate" and influential figures in the royal capital, among which of course the chief of the inner court in front of him was not missing.

"I am truly honoured, Your Excellency. Although I have been obsessed with 60 years of life as a young man like you, this is the first time I have seen him. It's really amazing, and it can support the kingdom for a hundred years. ”

In the face of Moriarty, Cisse, who is old enough to be his ancestor, is really polite. Although the words are slightly exaggerated, they are not annoying, and the demeanor is chic and moderate, which makes people unforgettable at first sight.

"Lord Cisse, have the Excellencies of Bracada arrived in the royal capital?"

At this time, Haiber on the side asked.

"It's here. Just yesterday. Having settled in the 'Lion Palace', the Queen will summon several Grand Arcanists at the same time tonight. ”

Speaking of the Grand Arcanist, the Governor of the Inner Court couldn't help but glance at Moriarty, but immediately withdrew it, and then led the group into Standwell.

The population of the city is much larger than it was a few years ago. Most of them were local nobles who fled from the county to take refuge. Most of these people's territories have been occupied or destroyed by demons, and now they can only hope that one day the demons will be expelled and their families can return to their homeland to receive the "inheritance". Therefore, if you only look at it on the surface, the demonic plague not only did not cause any damage to the royal capital, but created a "different kind of prosperity" because of these "flashy populations".

The palace where the queen lived and worked was located in the middle of Standwell and was known as "Sansso-free", which was the residence of Griffin Hart, the griffon king, and the main palace of successive human kings.

As for settling Moriarty and others, the "Lion Palace" and the "Vulture Palace". It is also located on the left side of the "Sanssouci Palace", which belongs to the core side hall, and will only be used when entertaining heavyweight state guests or holding important conference banquets.

A large group of elite knights and conspicuous officials entered the city together, and immediately attracted countless astonished and curious eyes in the city.

Especially when they saw the eldest princess of Betita and Prince Haibo also accompanying them in the dust, it made some nobles even more puzzled. On the contrary, Moriarty rode inconspicuously behind, chatting with the chief of the inner court on the side, which was not very inconspicuous.

Crossing the central avenue of the royal capital, the magnificent royal palace is already in front of you.

It is different from other places in the royal capital. The area where the palace is located is significantly elevated, almost built around a small hill.

Reportedly. It was because of his dream that a platinum griffin with a golden crown landed on this hill that Griffin Hart finally decided to build a Standwell here, and placed his "Sanssouci Palace" on the top of the hill where the griffin stayed in his dream.

Therefore, if you look in the direction of the city from any position in the royal capital, you can clearly see the "Sanssouci Palace" with a white and crystal body, decorated with brilliant yellow and silver horns, and a huge white griffin statue standing at the top of the main hall!

When he came to Standwell, Moriarty had been looking at the glittering palace for a long time, but he didn't expect to be invited in as a guest today.

When the group came to the palace gate at the foot of the mound, another group of guards came forward to approach. The leader was another thirteenth-level Sanctuary, the "Earth Warrior" Chouns.

Correspondingly, the "Golden Griffin" handed over to him, and then took his subordinates back to the barracks to rest.

Obviously, the royal palace was extremely well protected. Even if they are close to the legion, there is a difference between inside and outside, or a change in duties, and there is no confusion in the slightest.

"Lord Cisse, is it convenient for my followers to enter the palace together? Of course, I can promise that he will never leave me. ”

Seeing this, Moriarty informed in advance.

"This..."

I have to say that this is indeed a problem, and it is naturally not allowed to do things according to the rules, but if you consider the identity of the other party and the attitude of the queen...

"Lord Cisse, the followers of His Excellency the Viscount are true warriors. On the way back to the royal capital, he single-handedly killed ten high-level demons. I think Your Majesty will personally receive and reward him for such an achievement. ”

At this time, Betita next to her suddenly spoke.

"Ten high-level demons?"

Without waiting for Cisse to react, Chesse on the opposite side suddenly raised his eyebrows and exhaled like thunder.

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes."

Looking at the "Earth Warrior", Betita lifted her slender swan-like neck and affirmed.

"Yes, Your Highness the Eldest Princess. If you have killed ten high-level demons on the battlefield, you are indeed a true human warrior. Wines nodded heavily, but said, "But if you want to enter the palace, you must still get orders from Her Majesty." ”

After speaking, the "Earth Warrior" had already looked at Cisse.

Seeing this, Haibo's expression couldn't help but change slightly.

It seems that Betita's roots and connections in Standwell are indeed deeper and broader than that of Highber, at least Chounes's effective cooperation has shown a lot. Moriarty couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and also looked at the head of the inner court.

"Your Excellency, please wait a moment."

was unable to be seen by a few people, so Cisse could only ask Moriarty and others to stay in the ear room in front of the palace first, and he immediately went to the "Sanssouci Palace" to report the situation.

In fact, if you really want to have evil intentions, the other party himself is a great arcanist, and it is extremely convenient to do "things", then you also need a non-high-level follower to help. But the palace ban rules are strict, and Cisse has no right to do it, so he has to run this trip.

About half an hour later, the sweaty chief of the inner court rushed back with Her Majesty's approval. And when she heard about Gauguin's brilliant achievements, the queen really offered to meet this human warrior at that time. (To be continued.) )
