Duke didn't enter the city for the first time, but stood in place and waited, because he still had to cover Malfurion's entry into the city, but Duke didn't know if Gandalf was really as amazing as he said, and he could find himself?

But Duke was soon convinced, for he saw from a distance several people in cloaks, riding horses and running towards him, the black robe he was very familiar with, which was Gandalf's favorite magister robe.

"You're a little quicker than I expected, and it looks like this new carriage is really good. ”

Gandalf came to Duke's side and first complimented him, as the imperial capital was more than five hundred kilometers from Stormcastle. It's nothing at all in modern times, but for this world, it's very normal to walk for half a month, not to mention that Duke still carries heavy gold coins and other materials.

"Of course, you don't look at who improved it. ”

Duke replied proudly, he did have the confidence to say this about the new carriage, because it was a crushing upgrade.

Of course, Gandalf would not cooperate with Duke's Dese, but asked lightly: "Have you brought the magic crystal, then we can enter the city now." ”

"Naturally, I brought it here. ”

After saying this, Duke walked over to a carriage behind him and opened one of the specially made boxes. This chest was specially created by Duke in order to cover Malfurion's entry into the imperial capital, and it is divided into two layers, with the upper layer containing magic crystals and Malfurion hiding in the lower layer.

The accompanying guards lifted the upper layer of magic crystals, and the magic crystals that were as dazzling as diamonds sparkled in the sunlight. The magic crystal is also regarded as the hard currency of this world, and the value ratio of gold coins is generally one to ten, that is, one magic crystal can basically be equivalent to ten gold coins.

This is still just an ordinary quality magic crystal, if it is a high-quality magic crystal, it can be worth hundreds of gold coins.

Before Duke became Lord of Stormcastle, the Magic Crystal had always been the main source of revenue for Stormcastle, and it was also the value of the French Empire's willingness to maintain Stormcastle. However, with the magic runes on the magic blast furnace and the storm armor, the magic crystals need to be continuously used to provide magic power for operation, and there are basically no magic crystals to sell in Storm Castle.

Originally, Duke didn't plan to use the magic crystal to pay off the debt with the 50,000 gold coins that compensated the Holy See, after all, the mine pressure in Storm Castle is very high, and the magic crystal is just enough for himself. If you pay off the debt and buy it from somewhere else, the cost will be greatly increased. It's just that now, in order to cover up the magic fluctuations on the fallen elves, Duke can only let out some blood.

Gandalf looked at the box, nodded in satisfaction, and motioned to Malfurion beside him to hide inside.

This time, Malfurion's whole body was shrouded in a cloak, and even his face was masked, making it impossible to see his elf identity at all. This is also what Duke and Gandalf have discussed, not wanting too many people to know his elf identity, even if the escort team can definitely be trusted, the fewer people who know it, the better.

Because Malfurion is not as good as the two "bargains" of Watt and Copperbeard before, he is a real elven king, and the entire Holy See is already searching for him. Once the slightest rumor is revealed, it will go directly to the Holy See Holy City, and even Leonard will not be able to save the East Window incident at that time.

After Malfurion hid it, Mirana went into another wooden box. But Mirana glanced back at Rose before entering. The reason why she was captured by Duke in the first place was because this little girl discovered herself, and Mirana also remembered Rose's rare spatial magic.

It was also at this moment that Rose recognized the person in front of her as the original elven assassin, and the expression on her face was a little surprised, because Duke didn't tell anyone about his actions this time. However, it was quickly understood that compared to the average Night Elf, the Fallen Elf was a public enemy of the Holy See.

After hiding Malfurion and Mirana, Gandalf also took off his magic robe and replaced it with a normal mage robe from Stormcastle. After all, the appearance of a mage may not attract much attention, but the appearance of a great mage, it will definitely attract the attention of the Holy See, this is not a place like Storm Castle, where the emperor is far away, and the emperor is in the palace.

As they approached the city gates, a steady stream of people and caravans began to appear, and ordinary civilians and merchants, when they saw the heavily armed Storm Guards coming, consciously moved out of the way, because they knew that this must be the aristocratic class.

For this situation, Duke naturally will not politely line up for anything, because this is the rule of the Middle Ages, there is an insurmountable gap between the aristocracy and the Pingming, and even this gap is far greater than that of the ancient Chinese scholars, farmers, and industrialists.

In ancient China, a great dynasty was reincarnated for hundreds of years, and it was not good to change the dynasty in a few decades.

But there were really kinds of princes and generals in the Middle Ages, because there were few peasant uprisings to overthrow the change of dynasties and sit on the throne from the grassroots. Whoever becomes emperor is chosen from among the other noble lords.

So the dynasties may change, and the emperors can take turns, but the aristocracy is still those families. For example, the surname Feng in Duke's name has been passed down for thousands of years, and it has gone through several imperial periods, and it is still stable and aristocratic.

The French soldiers defending the city, when they saw the fully armed convoy coming, also looked at the people with vigilant eyes. Because the French Empire had just experienced a tense period of war, it was much stricter than before.

But when Duke showed the lion banner of the Otto family, the faces of the defenders immediately changed, from the initial vigilance to respect, worship and even yearning. After all, the Otto family is second only to the imperial family, and its influence in the military even surpasses that of the emperor. Because the entire border army of the French Empire basically served under the wave of Duke Otto.

When the lion flag was revealed, the soldiers who had been preparing to inspect the city retreated to the side at this time. After all, the carriage of the Duke's family is not much of a problem to be released without inspection.

For this situation, Duke didn't expect it to be so easy, it seems that in the territory of the French Empire, the plaque of the Otto family is still very easy to use, and there is no need to even use Leonard's tiger skin.

But just as Duke was about to lead the convoy in, a man in a white silk robe and a bright red cloak appeared in front of the convoy. In a very exaggerated tone, he said: "I thought it was someone from the Otto family who came over and showed the lion flag, isn't this our little Duke?"
