Chapter 41: The Imperial Capital (2)
Lei looked at the buildings on both sides of the avenue in the city, and unlike Lei's fantasy, there were not many splendid buildings with golden walls in the imperial capital, and the most common and common ones were the kind of buildings with countless pillars as frontal decoration, four or five stories high, and two square beam arches on the top. The buildings are all made of granite, which looks very solid, stable and generous, but there is not much extravagance.
Occasionally, there are a few buildings that look particularly tall, with swords, scales, scrolls, and so on, and their decoration is a little more ornate, but the columns of the colonnade structure on the front have been changed a little, from the ordinary stone pillars to those with a roof on the top and drum legs below, and the pillars have the form of simple pattern carving. Moreover, the halls of these buildings, without exception, are a large triangular vault of 150 degrees, which is slightly decorated with some small knight statues, which looks very solemn.
Ray grinned, "Jerry, I like the house here, it looks so comfortable." There's not a lot of bells and whistles. β
Jerry nodded and smiled: "Yes, the architectural style of our Van Empire is like this. You can see that the length-to-diameter ratio of our pillars is relatively small, and it looks very stable. If it is the imperial capital of the Wright Empire, their pillars are very slender and full of patterns and decorations, which are beautiful and beautiful, but they look upsetting. β
Ray looked at the past strangely along the way, and could see that the 'Furious War City' was the capital of a country after all, and the road was neatly built, enough to accommodate thirty war horses passing side by side. The road is paved with solid granite stone slabs, which look very clean. On both sides of the road, there were two nullahs more than three feet wide, with churning clear water in them. A little further on, there is a wide, shaded sidewalk, one of which has been carved out as a place for small vendors. Therefore, the merchants who sold melons and fruits simply put their goods on the edge of the nullah, and poured water on those melons and fruits at any time.
It was late autumn, it was a good season for those melons and fruits to go on the market, and a clear fragrance wafted around, making the murderous and fire in Lei's hearts clear by seven points, and their bodies were suddenly filled with a sense of leisurely satisfaction. Ray couldn't help but smile: "Jerry, I suddenly feel very happy, I don't know why, you see, look at those people who do business, I'm really happy." β
Jerry laughed, took a long breath, and nodded again and again, "yes, I'm happy too... Ray, it's because we're fighting so hard that they're so happy to sell their results here. Isn't it? We protected them, and they lived so happily. Moreover, we are still alive now, Ray, we are still alive, we can go back to the imperial capital alive, smell the aroma here, see the people here, and see the beauties on the roadside, right?"
Ray's face darkened: "But, Jerry, a lot of people are dead, and they are all dead. β
Jerry's face was also blue for a while, and he silently looked at the nobles of the Six Kingdoms far in front of him, and suddenly stroked his sword hilt inexplicably, and after holding it firmly, he gently let go of his hand. He whispered, "Tomorrow, I'm going to Master Wei's house... She and her father were both killed, and even the bodies could not be found, but she still had two mothers and several younger siblings at home, representing the Silver Wolf Legion, and we all had to go over for a while. And, there's ... β
Jerry's heart ached, he really couldn't name the two division commanders... He said in a low voice: "At the beginning, the three of us were molesting girls together in the imperial capital, joining the army together, and being promoted to the head of the division together because of their military exploits... Ray, you know what? The three of us were even chasing Lady Wei. So, I want to kill Bobkat more than you do, and I swear, I must kill him. Of course, we'll do it together, won't we?"
Ray's eyes were almost dripping blood, and he whispered, "Bobkat... Hey... And Carlin, Jerry, he killed all my friends, all the friends I grew up with, his damn bastard. β
Jerry said in a cruel voice: "It's not just them, we all have to take revenge one by one against our empire this time, I swear, I will be able to do it." β
Ray's hand stretched out, Jerry shook Ray's hand tightly, and said solemnly, "Ray, we are brothers." β
Lei nodded heavily: "Of course, whoever dares to say that we are not brothers, I will definitely kill him." Ha, we will have many opportunities to fight side by side in the future. β
Jerry showed a smile, shook Ray's hand heavily, and said, "Of course, whether on the battlefield or on the love field, we will fight side by side." However, if you want to find the most beautiful woman in the imperial capital, you still have to ask me, I, Jerry, am the most handsome young knight in the imperial capital... Ray, you really haven't even touched a woman's hand before?"
Ray laughed awkwardly, and under Jerry's deliberate words, the murderous aura that had just permeated them dissipated invisibly. Wait a minute, they have to pass through the palace, if the two of them just go over with a murderous aura, I'm afraid they will be arrested by the palace guards.
Walking a long way ahead, the architectural style on both sides of the road has changed slightly, although the main body of the building is no different from the houses in front, but the doors of these houses have a large area of grass and woods, and are surrounded by walls, the iron gate of the gate, there are also inlaid with a huge shield-shaped family crest, and basically there are three or five knights standing at the door to patrol back and forth.
Jerry whispered without squinting: "Lei, this is starting to enter the residential area of those nobles in the imperial capital, well, seven courtyards in front of it, it is my grandfather's mansion." As for myself, my yard is in the southeasternmost part of the city, where there are seven women's colleges... Hehehehehe. β
Ray rolled his eyes, then took a closer look at Jerry's grandfather's mansion. Sure enough, it is worthy of the residence of a grand duke in the imperial capital, although the old guy lives in his own territory on weekdays, but in order to show his faΓ§ade and pomp, this courtyard is still very huge. You can see that in the lush woods in the courtyard, there are several square towers exposed between the towers, and there are also silver knight statues on them. The knight guards at the gate also stood majestically for more than twenty people, which was much more majestic than the other small nobles in the imperial capital.
Gradually, the soldiers of the Five Beast Legion all went out in groups on the road, and they returned to their respective barracks in the city, only the high-ranking knights of the Silver Wolf Legion were still following them. In front, those who protected Messeau and other important people also turned into a large number of palace guards, and the group walked forward cautiously.
A charcoal horse suddenly rushed out of the slants, and a group of palace guards were about to draw their swords and be on guard, but Siddock had already shouted a shout and ordered them to stop. Then Gaddafi's gruff voice shouted loudly: "Ah, Sidddock, are you back? Ray and Jerry, are they all right? Not killed, huh?"
Siddock laughed quietly and said a few words to Gaddafi, and then saw Gaddafi running over on his crazy horse. Ray and Jerry hurriedly dismounted and respectfully gave a military salute. Gaddafi laughed loudly: "Haha, boys, yes, they all came back alive? Okay, good, haha, I heard that Your Majesty is going to reward you well, this time you did a good job, you fought well." It is said that we have to kill a lot of criminals in the army, I think you should be fine, haha, okay, Your Majesty is going to meet these damn nobles of the Six Kingdoms first, and the official reward ceremony will be in a few days, so you follow me now, and I will take Lei to see his house, hey, but it's very good. β
The nobles of the six nations heard the disrespectful words in Gaddafi's words, but they acted as if they hadn't heard them. Only Messeau slowly patted his horse and walked over, smiling and saying, "Oh, yes, according to the arrangement, Your Majesty must first receive these guests and officially confirm the agreement or something, and then the ceremony of awarding the reward can be held." Ray, you have a good time in the imperial capital these days, follow General Jerry to look around, get acquainted, after all, you are now the earl of the empire, if others ask about the imperial capital, you don't know, that's too unreasonable, right?"
Lei laughed and didn't speak, Messeau looked at Lei's reaction with satisfaction, and said: "That courtyard of yours was selected by someone for you, it happened to be next door to General Jerry, and it was the villa of a marquis in the imperial capital before, and this time His Majesty personally ordered him to come over and reward you." The servants inside have all been arranged, and you just need to go over and sign the deed, and you can officially take over. β
Ray hurriedly saluted Messo, but Jerry was already smiling. He felt that the old man Messo was too understanding, and knew that they were young people who were looking for fun together, so he deliberately arranged them together.
Messeau said a few more words to Gaddafi and walked away. And Siddock came over again and ordered: "General Gaddafi, wait for you to take General Lei to the military headquarters, officially accept the seal of the commander of the newly formed Dragon Legion, and fill in his experience and everything clearly." Jerry, you are familiar with the young people of the imperial capital, and you have selected 500 personal guard knights for Lei, understand? This is a problem of the face of the empire, and you can't be sloppy. β
Jerry and Gaddafi hurriedly responded, and Siddock rode towards the group of nobles of the six countries. Ray watched those people walk away, and a hint of murder suddenly appeared in his eyes. Jerry noticed this, but he also had the same ill-intentioned look in his eyes towards those nobles of the Six Kingdoms, and he naturally didn't think there was anything wrong with Ray's reaction.
Gaddafi burst out laughing: "Alright, Ray, Jerry, let's go, let's go to Ray's mansion." Well, ****** on that road? I just went there the day before yesterday, and I drained two bottles of good wine from the cellar, really. Gaddafi grabbed the messy hair on his head and began to mutter.
Jerry laughed, got on his horse, and said, "Ray, I'd better lead the way." The old man is a little unconscious, hehe, let me tell you, I found the courtyard over there so easily, but I didn't expect His Majesty to arrange you there. Alas, you don't know, every afternoon, those women's colleges are dissolved, and the streets and alleys are infested with beautiful women, hehe... However, let's go to the military headquarters first, shall we first determine Lei's position. β
Gaddafi also laughed lewdly: "You bastards, don't teach Ray badly, understand? Well, yes, go to the military headquarters first, haha, Ray is also the commander of the legion, it looks like you will be promoted in the future, Ray, but you have to behave well." β
A group of noble knights shouted: "How can it be? Lei Ke is our top boss, we just let Lord Lei understand the prosperous life of the imperial capital, and the cuteness of the beauties of the imperial capital... Haha, when you get to the military headquarters, Lord Lei, you are officially the commander of the Dragon Legion, and you are invited to the banquet tonight. β
Lei nodded dumbly: "Ah? Of course, of course, I want to invite everyone to have a good meal." β
A group of high-ranking knights laughed and hugged Thunder in the middle, slowly turning a street corner and onto another street. Jerry laughed so hard that he couldn't breathe and screamed: "Ray, they don't just eat, they also eat the lips of beautiful women, you have to prepare gold coins... Haha, haha, let's go to the best Qinglou pink goblin in the imperial capital. Haha, brothers, okay? Ray is the first time, let's see how Ray makes a fool of himself. β
A group of high-ranking knights laughed loudly without the slightest aristocratic demeanor, and Ray kept shouting, "Where do I have gold, all my gold coins are given to Crete to take away." β
Gaddafi's roar came: "I have here an imperial check for one million gold coins, which is part of the bounty that His Majesty gave you, haha, if you don't say I'll forget, Ray, you take it yourself, one million gold coins, enough for us to go to the pink goblin many times... Quack, don't say that Lao Tzu is old, Lao Tzu has to go over today to be comfortable. β
Louder laughter rang out, but no one could blame them, no one had the right to blame them. In the face of a group of knights who have gone through hardships and dangers, crawled out of the pile of dead people, and killed countless enemies, in the face of such a group of hot-blooded young people, who can blame anything?
