Chapter 20: Arrival at the Royal Capital

Seeing the retreating elven guards, Maine and the mercenaries also breathed a sigh of relief, the mercenaries didn't know Ling Ao's strength, so they were all worried that they would really fight, and their group of people was estimated to be really not enough for the other party to eat. Then everyone began to repack the camp and rescue the wounded, but fortunately, the elves did not kill them, so there were no deaths.

Seeing everyone like this, Avril turned around and bowed to everyone one by one and apologized, after all, everyone was injured because of herself. The kind-hearted Avril burst into tears. Then he plunged into the carriage.

Following Ling Ao, who entered the carriage, the black robe consciously guarded outside the carriage to prevent others from approaching. In the car, Ling Ao looked at Avril who was curled up in the corner, burying her head in her knees, and didn't know what to say for a while. On the contrary, Liruo, feeling Avril's depressed mood, came to Avril with Xiao You in her arms, learned from her previous arrogant appearance, and touched Avril's head with her feet.

Avril, who felt that it was detached, raised her buried head deeply, and the delicate face plate with tear stains was even more pitiful to me. Looking at Ling Ao and Liruo, Avril wiped her tears and said with tears: "I'm sorry Brother Ling, I lied to everyone, and everyone who hurt me was injured for me." As he spoke, the tears that he could not stop were rolling in his eyes again.

Ling Ao hurriedly spoke: "It's okay, everyone has their own secrets, as for the others, at least everyone's lives are not in danger, and it's okay to recuperate for a while." ”

Ling Ao's comfort was really far-fetched, and the black robe outside the car was a little speechless, but Avril Lavril didn't know why, she felt that Ling Ao didn't blame her for concealing it, and she was in a better mood all of a sudden, so she continued:

"Actually, that's how things ......"

It turns out that Avril is really the princess of the elf clan, and the current elf queen is her mother, and she also has three older brothers. The Elf Queen is a royal-level master, and his three elder brothers have also inherited the excellent bloodline of the Elf Queen since childhood, and they are excellent in all aspects, and as the only girl, Avril not only did not inherit the unique wood talent of the elf race, but became a summoner, and the most important thing is that her talent is really poor compared to her three elder brothers. So all the while, Avril was very unpopular with the Elf Queen and his brothers. Because the elven tribe is actually composed of elven tribes, then naturally there will be stronger tribes and less powerful tribes, and the ruler of the elven race is produced by the strongest tribe. Therefore, only strong strength can maintain the status of the tribe and protect the reproduction of the elves.

However, Avril, who is kind by nature, although she has a little inferiority, she still lives very happily, until one day, the elves have always had a heart disease, that is, the night elves. The Night Elves are also elves, but compared to ordinary elves who love peace and cherish life, Night Elves are more radical, they are aggressive and strong by nature, but they are talented and powerful. The Night Elves have always been the most powerful and stealthy mobile force of the Elves, but because of their strength, they sometimes become difficult to control, so in order to better control the Night Elves, this Elf Queen decided to marry Avril to the current prince of the Night Elves.

Avril Lavigne, who heard the news, begged the elf queen for a long time, but it did not change the result, including her brothers and the elves of the entire elven court felt that this was a very good thing. Even the people who ate melons for unknown reasons set off firecrackers to celebrate this grand event of the elves.

But Avril Lavigne, who was desperate and sad, stole the ancient summoning scroll in the elven treasury, hoping to enhance her strength by summoning a powerful creature, so that the queen mother and her brothers could look up to themselves, so that they would not use themselves as tools to marry others at will. That's what happened when I met Ling Ao later.

Of course, how could Avril's sudden escape end so easily, although the elf queen actually didn't care, but the night elves who learned the news were furious, thinking that this was a humiliation by the elf queen to them, so this also made the elf queen's behavior to Avril angry, so she sent someone to arrest Avril, but maybe everyone didn't expect that Avril who thought she was just an envoy would firmly refuse Kira.

Hearing this, Ling Ao roughly understood that it was nothing more than a story of a mother who sacrificed her seemingly least important daughter in order to consolidate her own power, but her daughter did not want to be obedient and escaped. Although the story is very vulgar, it is still unpleasant to listen to, whether it is a so-called king or an emperor, it is really impersonal to tell.

Now that Avril has met her, of course Ling Ao will not allow anyone to force her to do anything she doesn't want to do, so Ling Ao said:

"You don't have to worry about this, you can rest assured, as long as you don't want to, then no one can take you away. ”

Although Ling Ao's words seemed to be very careless, Avril was very relieved and happy to listen to it, because he knew Ling Ao's strength, and it was estimated that only when the queen mother came in person could he have the strength to fight, and he was happy because it seemed that he still had a place in Ling Ao's heart. But happy is happy, the strength of the elf clan is not only because there is a royal-level elf queen, but in order to let Ling Ao have to face the pressure of the entire elf clan, and even have to put on a black robe, Liruo's safety, Avril is still very worried, she still looked at Ling Ao worriedly and said:

"But ......"

"No, but!" Before Avril could finish speaking, Ling Ao interrupted him, Ling Ao's face showed a rare serious expression, only to see Ling Ao continue, "No one should force themselves to do anything they don't want to do for any reason, if this matter doesn't harm anyone else. Even if you are crushed, at least it proves that you have lived, doesn't it?" Speaking of this, Ling Ao's hands couldn't help but press on Avril's shoulders, and Avril only felt that there was a firm strength passing on to her.

In the end, Ling Ao said even more seriously: "No matter what, you still have a contract on me now, if I really want to take you away, then I have to ask me first if I agree." After that, Ling Ao winked at Avril Lavigne, and then took Liruo and Xiaoyou out to eat, leaving Avril alone, Ling Ao knew that she needed to be given a little time to calm down and think about herself.

When the sun rose the next day, Avril Lavigne had already appeared in front of everyone with her standard smile again. Seeing Avril Avril like this, Ling Ao was also happy for her, and she was able to let go of her knots and enjoy life, this is the life that should be.

In this way, the next days of rushing were neither wind nor rain nor sunshine, and after about twenty days, Ling Ao and his party finally vaguely saw the city wall of the royal capital. Finally arriving at their destination, Ling Ao's and his party's spirits suddenly became as excited as if they had taken a dose of heart booster. After all, for all of them, this was the first time they had come to the royal capital of the Octagon Alliance, and in fact, the kings of the Octagon Alliance had a more resounding name - Heavenly City.

As the most important city of the Octagon Alliance, the economy here is developed and the prosperity of the city is the most prominent among all the cities on the entire continent. There is only what you can't think of, nothing you can't see and nothing you can't enjoy. So over time, people used to call this place the city of paradise.

is about to arrive at the royal capital, Maine also introduced the general situation of the city to Ling Ao and others, in fact, he was afraid that because Ling Ao and his party had too little knowledge of this city, they would accidentally clash with the people inside, he was not afraid that Ling Ao and others would have an accident, he was afraid that others would accidentally disappear like Marr, after all, this is the royal capital, once something like this happens, then the Octagon Alliance and Ling Ao may really be a situation of endless death.

There is a mountain in the center of this royal capital, the mountain is not high, but it is a symbol of status, and there is a palace on the mountain called the Hall of Elders, which is the highest authority elected by the eight forces of the Octagon Alliance to jointly manage the entire Octagon Alliance. The supreme decision-makers of the Hall of Elders are the eight Great Elders elected by the eight forces, which are actually the supreme leaders of the eight forces, and the 16 deacons and elders below them are the ones who most directly divide labor and manage daily affairs.

And the entire city is centered on the Hall of Elders, divided into four regions, east, west, north and south, and each area happens to have a magic martial academy, so these four academies that have cultivated the most talents for the Eight Directions Alliance and even the entire continent are called East Emperor Academy, West Emperor Academy, Southern Emperor Academy, and Northern Emperor Academy. And the friend Avril said she was going to find was a student from the Eastern Emperor Academy.

In addition, the eastern district is mainly a commercial area, and the western district is mainly an aristocratic district, speaking of nobles, although the Octagon Alliance is not like a real centralized country, but it is also divided into titles, divided into marquis, earl, son, male, four levels, he is not like other empires There are dukes and princes above the marquis, and above the marquis are the deacons and elders and the great elders. As for the southern district, it is a civilian area, while the northern district is an alien area, and the heavenly city will not restrict the arrival of any alien race, but the alien races who enter the city can only live in the northern district.

Just after Maine had almost finished introducing the basic situation, the gate of the royal capital had come into view. Although it is the royal capital, the walls and various protective measures here look majestic, but they do not feel as strong as the Liberty City. But think about it, this is the concentration of the strongest forces of the entire Octagon Alliance, if this place is attacked, no matter how high the city wall is, no matter how many magic towers are afraid, it will be useless.
