Chapter 260: The Silver Empire
When the academy mission arrived in the imperial capital, it was already a day more than twenty days later.
After the dean of the college, Deng Shunla, suddenly revealed the true purpose of the college's exchange when he set off. Along the way, all the academy students who were selected to join the mission have been nervously strengthening their own cultivation.
Su Mu has been honestly consulting the complicated books in his mind for more than ten days in a row, and trying his best to understand this knowledge and turn it into his own ability.
And Lei Hao, who was already the most brazen, simply climbed the highest mast, facing the crazy and wanton forces of nature in the sky outside the magic rules of the feather ship.
As for Jiang Lan and Mao Nier, who were placed in the mission through the back door because of Su Mu, it was because of Su Mu.
Now the two of them have felt the gap between themselves and others, and are working hard to turn this gap into motivation and strive to make themselves stronger.
And just as Su Mu and the others were in an increasingly grim state of mind, when the feather ship sailed into the territory of the empire, even the scenery around the feather ship completely changed.
The geographical location of the Longtuo Empire is exactly in the northeast of the entire continent.
In today's harsh winter, the territory of the empire has long been covered in snow. Thousands of miles of ice and snow drifting, this is also the most gorgeous scenery of the empire in winter.
It is even because of the bitter cold of the Empire's winter that it has inspired the inhabitants of the Empire to dare to resist even nature, and at the same time tempered their will to become more and more determined.
So much so that from ancient times to the present, the iron hooves and dragon horses of the Longtuo Empire have always been the force that makes the whole world tremble.
If it weren't for the explosive development of alchemy, things like the Qi Power Feather Ship that were more convenient to operate would have replaced the absolute dominance of the Caracal Wyvern in air combat to a certain extent.
Otherwise, the current empire would not have allowed the Confederation and the Papal States to rise at all.
It will still firmly hold the throne of the world's most powerful country, and then look down on the rest of the kingdoms condescendingly.
......
"We have entered the range of the Imperial Capital Yingtian, presumably in the early afternoon today, the feather ship will be able to reach the airport in the Imperial Capital. ”
It was naturally the imperial princess Su Tong who made this judgment.
And as Su Tong's judgment fell, everyone, including the dean of the academy, Deng Shunla, left the warm room one after another and came to the deck, which was still cold even though it was shrouded in magic.
Although it is not known for its magic, the Dragon Empire has not produced a city structure that is extremely eye-catching from the outside like the Hanging Mountain, the capital of miracles.
But this ancient empire, inherited from ancient times, is obviously not known for its novelty.
What is truly amazing about it is that it has been accumulated over thousands of years.
Although according to Su Tong's description, this place is still dozens of miles away from the city wall of Emperor Longtuo's capital Yingtian, and it can't even be seen with the naked eye.
However, even outside the imperial capital Yingtian City, countless buildings have been densely built on the earth.
Whether it's a bustling street or a hot public heating place.
Just this residential area outside the imperial capital already has the hustle and bustle of a regular city.
Even in terms of the number of people alone, even the neighborhoods below the feather ship now have a population far larger than the capital of a small country.
And what is even more amazing is that just when everyone was sighing for the accumulation of the empire, more than a dozen volleys flying from far and near were already approaching the Qi Power Feather Ship.
As the flying shadow got closer and closer in everyone's eyes, everyone finally saw clearly:
The one who came turned out to be the powerful unit summoned by Lei Hao, the special air combat class that the Longtuo Empire was most proud of...... Caracal Winged Dragoon!
Among the dozen or so caracal winged dragon riders, the flying dragon controlled by the leader was obviously a circle larger than the rest of the flying dragons, and it was obviously a specialized dragon species that had broken through the boundaries of the high-level level.
Correspondingly, the knight who was riding such a flying dragon at the moment must also be a strong man above the high character level.
Sure enough, when the caracal winged dragoons approached the feathered ship, the leader had already said loudly with the blessing of Qi Neng:
"The third column of the Dragoon Regiment of the Longtuo Empire is ordered by the emperor to welcome the arrival of the federal mission. I am Sun Lan, the cavalry general of the third column, and I will be led by the contemptible people for the mission. ”
The dragoon general named Sun Lan was more decisive than people imagined.
After a brief explanation of the intentions, the dozen or so Imperial Dragoons under his command had already changed their formations in an instant, flying around the left and right of the Qi Power Feather Ship.
Although, in terms of cultivation difficulty, the spellcaster manipulator piloting the feathered ship is undoubtedly easier to cultivate.
But there is no doubt that each caracal is still the most powerful aerial combat unit in the world, and their agility is not comparable to that of a feathered ship.
......
And under the guidance of the Imperial Dragoon, in and out of respect for the imperial officials, the feather ship that Su Mu and the others were riding on had already slowed down its sailing speed and also reduced the altitude of its flight.
Because the feather ships that come and go high have always come for the purpose of war.
Therefore, in order to show their friendliness, the Federal Mission has now taken the initiative to give up the advantage of the feather ship, and completely handed over its own safety to the Imperial Dragoons to protect it.
The dean of the Academy, Deng Shunla, is an extremely experienced magical leader.
The decision he made at this time not only won the heartfelt approval of the Imperial Dragoons who came to greet him.
Even made the original solemn expression of the rider Sun Lan soften a little bit.
For visitors who come with a friendly heart, the ancient empire, which has existed for tens of thousands of years, certainly doesn't mind showing off its hospitality.
Therefore, under the escort of dozens of imperial dragoons, the boarding inspection that was routinely required when entering the imperial capital was also directly skipped under Sun Lan's instructions.
The huge Qi Power Feather Ship directly stepped over the high wall guarding the imperial capital and gently sailed into this ancient imperial capital that had existed for tens of thousands of years.
The scene within the high walls of the imperial capital really opened the eyes of Su Mu and the others again.
The Longtuo Empire, located in the north, is indeed not comfortable in terms of external environment, and all the roofs of the houses are covered with thick silver at this time.
But just as the alchemy vessels that can be found everywhere in the Federation have become a part of the lives of the residents.
In the streets and alleys of the Longtuo Imperial Capital, the hot currents that exude steaming heat are also like churning silver snakes, winding through the entire Longtuo Imperial Capital.
For the whole silver-white world, warm lines are drawn.
"It's a huge source of heat from the depths of the earth, and the Empire calls it a hotbed for dragons. Not only can it allow the dragon's eggs to hatch quickly, but it can also bring the right temperature to the winter in the imperial capital. ”
After escaping from this land for several months, and experiencing various coincidences, Su Tong finally returned to the city that raised her.
It's just that compared to a few months ago, Su Tong's desperate and lonely escape.
Now when Su Tong returned again, there was already someone standing firmly behind her.
"The reason why the Longtuo Empire is named Longtuo is that the ancestors thought that we were an empire developed under the protection of the Dragon God, and the reason why the capital of the Longtuo Empire was named Yingtian is also the meaning of being born in response to the sky and standing proudly on the earth!"
