After more than twenty days of travel, we finally arrived at Falkenridge. This was the first time our family had reached the capital of the Holy Falcon Empire, the "Holy Capital" Falkenridge.

It was the first time I had seen such a huge and luxurious city. Unlike Winterfall and Longtalon Ciep, its towering walls can be seen from afar before you get close to this legendary city. I think the wall must be thirty or forty meters high. In fact, the first thing that catches your eye is the huge watchtowers on both sides of the city gate.

Castles usually have a few giant battlements or firing platforms at their gates. The height of the castle is the height limit of the city walls. However, the walls of Falkenridge rose entirely on level ground. The huge watchtowers on either side of it are already 6 or 7 times the width of the main tower of Longtalon Fort.

Brother Gilhardt told us that every 150 meters, there will be a watchtower, and every 700 meters, there will be a gate. We were heading to the central north gate of Falkenridge. The territorial division of the empire is not neat, and the map of the entire Holy Falcon Empire looks like a round cake that has been bitten into.

The capital, Falkenridge, was located almost in the center of the empire, and the terrain was flat and produced a large amount of grain and fruit. and to the northwest of Falkenridge, the Zamir territory; Due west of the capital is the griffon's collar; Targnis is the only one that does not border Falkenridge, but it does share borders with both the Zamir and the Griffon.

Josh said impatiently, "I know, I know, Brother Gilhardt, the passage between Tangnis and Falkenridge is divided and separated by Zammir and Griffin!" That's one of the reasons why the Tangernes always wanted to invade our homeland, right? ”

I hated Josh the most for taking the stubble, so I poked him in the back fiercely: "Shut up!" Josh, can you please not imitate Daddy's intonation with your funny voice? To be honest, you don't imitate dad at all. Dad's voice gives a sense of lightness, but it looks particularly funny when it comes out of your mouth! ”

Joshua stopped talking when I said this, and I knew he was actually not convinced, but now that he was savvy, he didn't quarrel with me. I can't criticize him that way, but now I understand Elena's little fetishes, and sometimes it's so easy and pleasant to play tricks on boys. But tricks aside, I'm still going to cook onion soup for that nasty guy. Actually, I don't want to cook it, but I just want to cook it for my family unconsciously, why is that?

Big Brother Gilhardt ignored my argument with Josh, and he should have seen it after so many days anyway, we were just fighting around to pass the boring time. He continued, "Yes, that's right, the Blood Farm of Targnis and the Black Blood Mountain, the town of Clear Creek and the Logging Fortress of Zamir, and the Golden Plains of the Griffon Territory are bordered, but they are separated by the Mist Forest, so to reach the Griffon Territory, one must borrow from the Territory of Targnis. ”

"Now the Plains of Blood and the Black Blood Mountains are led by the Griffons, and the Human Skin Harbor is ours." I added.

"Hey! Lena, aren't you picking up the stubble too? You still say me? "Josh seems to have grasped some reason, and he never forgets the opportunity to fight back.

However, where can this be difficult for me, I made an understatement to make Josh close his croaking voice again: "I'm correcting Big Brother Gilhardt's mistakes, and you just want to take the stubble and show yourself." ”

"Dad doesn't always pick up Mom's words!" Joshua's face flushed.

"You have the ability to be the same as your father, pick up a stubble that we don't know? Can you? I scoffed, Joshua was dead this time.

Sure enough, Joshua could only explain, "I! That's because I'm not old enough for my father, and when I'm older, I'll show you that the men of Dona Wan can do anything! ”

"The men of Dona Wanjia can do anything!" My scholar, Joshua, squirmed in tone and demeanor, and then said, "How pale, Josh! ”

Joshua could only get angry "Humph! He turned his head away, but Aiji covered his mouth and smiled.

Gilhardt was used to seeing us sisters bullying Joshua, but Joshua was thick-skinned and he wouldn't care.

"Alright, alright! Girls, save some face for the young lads! We move on to the Falkin Ridge thing. Although Tangenness did not have a trade route close to Falkenridge, Tangenness was close to the sea, and their shipping was very developed. The navy of Tangenness is much stronger than the army. As you know, Gegit was a man who was a tyrannical man who enacted draconian laws in his domain. As a result, there were very few bandits in the territory of Tagness, and their population did not dare to flee, which led to Tagnis having the largest army in the Holy Falcon Empire. ”

Actually, we didn't even talk about the Whale Leader and the Sandre Leader before we got to the city gates. But I know that the Sandre Territory is located to the northeast of Falkenridge, and the Whale Territory is located to the south and southeast of Falkenridge. Josh certainly didn't know this, but Aegie must have known it, because Sunderland and Josh had apparently skipped class to mess around while Miss Stella was giving us these two lessons.

Actually, after that, I met a man who was well versed in world geography. The man called himself Dietas, and he was accompanied by a she-wolf companion. Interestingly, Mr. Dietas claims that his partner is also called Stella, and when Agee asks Mr. Dietas why, the gentleman tells us that it was Stella herself who gave her name - she called herself Lady Stella.

The gentleman had instructed Josh in some hunting techniques, but he was no longer visible, only to know that he had come to see his father, who had been in the cave next to Neverwinter after his death. He left a letter to Uncle Slava stating that he had gone to find the traces of Bland, the Elephant Summoner, and when he found it, he would report it to Uncle Slava as a sign of allegiance to him.

Josh especially admires Mr. Dietas, whom he considers erudite and powerful, like his father. But Mr. Dietas was always reticent, and I guess he must be a man with a story. I believe that in the future, I don't know when, we will definitely meet Mr. Dietas again, in some corner of Elsa, definitely.

"The carriage in front stops! Get checked! "At the gates of Falkenridge, our carriage was stopped by a detachment of sentinels.

"It's the heraldic of the running wolf and the smiley flowerback spider! John! Ask the coachman if the son and lady of the Dona family are in the car! A soldier who looked like a captain shouted at a young man who was clearly a recruit—the young man was not a few years older than Aiji, and looked as old as Big Brother Gvir, but he was clearly still very immature and not as mature as Big Brother Gevilville.

The recruit shouted from afar, "May I ask if it's the Donavan family?" ”

Big Brother Gustav grabbed the reins, got down from his seat, and said to the recruit: "In Lower Gustav, he and Gilhardt were ordered by Lord Zanmir Slava Wolf to escort his godsons Agilyl Donavan Wolf, Joshua Donavan Wolf, and Lena Donavan Wolf to Falkenridge, the capital of the Holy Falcon Empire, to attend the entrance ceremony and examination of the Simic Union and the Holy Falcon Empire's Wizarding Academy. This is Lord Slava's handwriting, with the coat of arms of the running wolf and the smiling flower-backed spider! ”

Gustav showed the note to the recruit, who trotted to show it to his commander. The long-looking officer looked at the notes, took out the heraldic book and checked the patterns himself, and after a few minutes or so, he shouted: "Falkenridge, the capital of the Holy Falcon Empire, welcomes the sons and young ladies!" Routine inspection in the name of His Excellency Kiruj Wadden, Commander of the Falkenridge Garrison and Sheriff, and bear with me if I have any offends! Open the card! Release! ”

Gustav sat back in his seat, and the horses that tended to pull the cart strolled slowly through the city gates. After passing through the city gate, Aegie stopped Gustav, she pressed down the window of the carriage, handed the captain a small bag of copper horns, and said: "The chief protects the safety of the people, thank you for your hard work, take this little thing, even if it is for the young men guarding the city gate to pay for the wine after work, we will stay in Falkenridge for a long time, and when the time comes, please ask the chief brother to help me more... ”
