It was a young man, and he just glanced out of the window as he passed, and didn't stop, the whole process took less than a second.

However, it was at this second that he was captured by Wren.

Although Wren was a few hundred meters away from the airship, the soul eye could still see clearly, and even went straight into the other party's soul, and instantly saw through the details.

"Milton"

Wren was suspicious, he didn't expect to meet someone here who thought he was dead.

Milton was his teammate in the Lonssander, the Wizard of Souls of unknown origin. Later, on the night that the cultists of Shadowblade blew up the Dwarven Underground Fortress, causing the Silverstar Zone to sink, the Demon Slayer joined the fight, and Milton disappeared from then on, believing to have been killed.

His lover Albena was overly sad, and his teammates became disgusted with Wren because of this, and finally quit the demon slayer team.

Nearly two years have passed, and the appearance of this person on the airship is only six or seven percent similar to Milton, and even acquaintances may not recognize it.

But Wren was 100% sure he was Milton.

A person can change his or her outward appearance, but he cannot change his inner soul characteristics.

When Milton was in Longshande, he claimed to be a second-level panace wizard, but in fact, he was third-level, and now he has been promoted to fifth-level, which can be described as a leap and bound.

A fifth-level wizard who is less than thirty years old is definitely among the geniuses, how can he be willing to be a demon slayer

Wren had long suspected that there was something wrong with Milton, but there was no evidence.

"He appeared on the airship of Pallas Floating City, could he be Pallas's man?"

Milton, who claimed to be a graduate of Brook House, traveled thousands of miles to Lonshand, only to disappear mysteriously. He stayed in Lonzand for more than a year, and then quietly left, all around the same time as the visiting wizards of Pallas Floating City."

Wren could almost have determined that Milton was Pallas's wizard.

The series of events that happened in Longshande the year before last had many suspicious points hidden behind it, and the Duke of Redstone also disguised himself as his own student to come in person, and he must have ulterior motives in the Silver Star Academy.

He pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the voices of all things on the airship.

However, the wizards were not heard other than the conversations of a few airship pilots, and it was clear that their rooms were equipped with soundproof force fields.

At this time, Emilys noticed Wren's abnormality, looked at the airship, and asked in a low voice, "Wren, what's wrong?"

"Wait until you see Nahaqi, and ask him about the airship by the way, and don't seem too concerned. Wren said.

Emily nodded slightly, "Okay." ”

The group rode the Phantom Warhorse to the fence outside the tent, but was blocked by several centaur warriors, and Emilys flashed a token and said in Centaur language, "I want to see Chief Nahachi." ”

The centaur warriors did not dare to slack off, and this token represented the most honored guest of the clan, no less than the high priest of the clan.

He hurriedly said respectfully, "Please come with me." ”

The two men dismounted and entered into a large circular tent with an interior of thousands of square meters, in the center of which was a large hall of prayer to the god of the hunt, and dozens of separate rooms surrounded by a large hall that served as the quarters of the chiefs and priests.

In a spacious and bright tent, the floor is covered with thick blankets, a few open fires in the corners emit heat, and the furs and heads of various prey are hung on all sides, the layout is simple but majestic.

Two high-ranking centaur warriors stood in the doorway.

Entering the tent, an extremely tall figure greeted him.

Wren had never seen a centaur so tall before, and when he stood upright, he was two and a half meters from head to ground, taller than an Ultramarine.

The muscles of his upper body grew horizontally, and the power contained in it seemed to explode, as if it was made of rocks, and the body of the horse in the lower body was even stronger, with four hooves like a basin, and two arms that were thick through the thighs of adults.

This centaur also has a unique appearance, with long cheeks, a high forehead and a wide nose, deep eye sockets, a thick short beard on the chin and side of the face, and long black hair on the back of the head that is tied in a large braid, which is wrapped around the neck several times, giving it a rugged and unique temperament.

His gaze is wild, but it also contains wisdom.

Wren's soul eye saw that the strength of this centaur chief was extremely strong, and he had actually stepped into the middle level of the legend, which was equivalent to a thirteenth-level berserker. He has more than twenty elements, eight levels of strength alone, tenacity and agility are also above seven levels, and the rest are melee elements, making him a very terrifying legendary warrior.

The Centaur Chief said in Orion's language: "Your Highness, I didn't expect you to come to Cass in person and not go out to greet you, Nahaqi is really rude. ”

As he spoke, his front hooves bent and his upper body bent down in respect.

Emilys lifted her hood to reveal her beautiful face, looked at the centaur chief in front of her, and said, "Nahazy, I came suddenly, it's not your fault, don't be polite." ”

She lifted her hand and let the centaur tap it on the back of her hand with her forehead.

The size of the two was several times different, and Emilys stood in front of Nahaqi like a toddler, the tall one saluted the low one respectfully, forming a strong contrast.

Nahaqi then looked at Wren and the others, and said in surprise: "Didn't His Excellency Estan come?"

"He's staying in Hightock. Emily replied.

"I'm sorry, I'd like to ask Lord Astan some questions about swordsmanship. Nahazy invited Emilys to sit down in a chair covered in rich fur as his eyes swept over Wren, Galadros, and Sindara, his eyelids twitching imperceptibly.

As a legendary mid-level warrior, his perception is quite not weak, and he faintly feels that the strength of these three people is at least legendary.

"Your Highness, these are you," Nahaqi asked curiously.

Emilys introduced: "He's Wren"

Before she could finish her words, Nahaqi let out an exclamation, "Count Glamorgan" His face showed a look of surprise and joy, "I have long admired the name of His Excellency the Earl, I have heard about the Earl's deeds from my people, and it has been spread all over the grassland, and I finally met Your Excellency in person."

The centaur chief is very enthusiastic, as if he had met an idol.

However, Wren saw that the other party's soul soul turned pale red, the color was very light, and the hostility was not deep, which represented vigilance, at least not as enthusiastic as it appeared.

He nodded, and said lightly: "Chief Nahaqi is too famous, I just happened to have time to follow Emily to Kas to have a look, Chief Chieftain won't mind."

"Of course not, it's a great honor for the Drakken tribe. Nahaqi hurriedly shook his head.

Emily then mentioned the names of the two dragons, saying only that they were retinues, but did not introduce their origins.

Nahaqi also welcomed it.

Wren looked at the centaur chieftain's words and deeds, and thought to himself that it was rare for such a scheming guy to appear in the grumpy and upright centauri, just like a very urban human. The Drakken tribe was able to grow from a small settlement of a few hundred people to more than 30,000 people in Kas, in addition to Emilys's secret support, Nahaqi's ability was the key.

Nahazi clapped his hands, and immediately the centaur waitress entered the tent and brought sumptuous food, wine, and fresh fruits and vegetables.

"The conditions on the grassland are poor, please forgive Your Highness and Your Excellency the Earl. ”

After some reception, Emily Line got down to business, "Nahaqi, about the dispatch of troops to Congatro, I asked Zhuo Ao to come back from Modu early and report to you." Valogen has also been in contact with you, and he said you were going to interview me, and now you can say it. ”

"Yes, Your Highness. ”

Nahazi glanced at Rennes, obviously, he knew that Rennes was the most crucial person in this expedition to Congatero.

However, Wren sat next to Emilys without saying a word, and if he didn't know his identity, others would definitely think that he was just an entourage.

Nahaqi said: "The Zhuoken clan can have today, thanks to the support of His Highness, and now is the time to repay His Highness." As long as you say a word, the Drakken tribe is willing to send five thousand of their most elite warriors across the sea to kill Kangatro, but there is a problem at the moment."

The centaur chief looked embarrassed.

Emily raised her eyebrows, the previous words of loyalty were just foreshadowing, and the latter was the main point, to talk about the conditions, so she asked, "What is the problem?"

"The Floating City of Pallas sends people to collect taxes every year. Nahaqi looked like he dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, and said in a deep voice: "And their taxes are getting heavier and heavier, last year only 100,000 gold dong or equivalent goods, this year it suddenly rose to 200,000 gold dong, our Zhuoken tribe only has more than 30,000 people, we really can't afford it." ”

"Why did it suddenly go up so much?" Emily was a little puzzled.

Nahaqi shook his head, "I don't know, I've been in contact with several big tribes around me, and their taxes have also risen dramatically. ”

Wren was also puzzled.

The richness of the floating city of Pallas is well known throughout the Empire.

After being promoted to Holy Soul Wizard, Duke Redstone chose the city of Pasla in the center of the northern steppes of the empire as his domain.

The northern steppes were the size of four or five provinces, one-sixth of the entire empire, but there were no clear imperial borders.

Duke Redstone used his strong strength and iron-fisted methods to overwhelm the entire grassland.

All races living on the grasslands, whether centaur tribes or orc or orc tribes, must pay taxes to Duke Redstone.

At the same time, there are a large number of mines buried underground around Pallas, such as gold, silver, copper, ash coal, mythril and pure gold, etc., contributing countless wealth.

The Redstone Duke also monopolized trade between the Empire and the Brantanian Knights and Orc tribes.

Every year, just collecting tolls from caravans is a huge amount of money.

In just a few decades, Duke Redstone has built his own Floating City, and his Floating City is the largest and newest of all floating cities. If it weren't for the fact that it was built so short and lacked sufficient foundation, Duke Redstone would have become the fourth largest in the empire.

No one with the slightest insight in the empire will doubt that this day will come sooner or later.

Generally speaking, Pasla Floating City doesn't squeeze too hard.

Now, contrary to the norm, it has directly doubled the tax amount.

It's okay in the short term, but after a long time, it will definitely cause a backlash from all ethnic groups, which is tantamount to fishing for all the water, is it that Pasla Floating City is suddenly short of money

Wren had too little information in his hands to make a judgment.

"Your Highness, you have come at the right time. Nahaqi said: "Presumably, Your Highness also saw the airship outside, which came from the Floating City of Pasla and asked for 200,000 gold guilders, I am raising it, and I will be able to collect it in two days." ”

But when the tax was paid, the tribe was hollowed out. ”

"It's better in the summer, but in the fall, the weather gets colder, and the second half of the year will be difficult. Without sufficient support, it will be difficult for us to send people to fight with His Highness, the tribe cannot sit idly by, and the warriors also need some motivation. ”

Nahaqi looked at Emily with blank eyes, and almost reached out to ask for money.
