Chapter Twenty-Three: The Maiden Fiona

The City of Stars, as the capital of Ambra, is the size of two free cities, and is a well-known large city-state on the mainland. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In addition to the frequent traffic of airships, the land route is also extensible. Surrounded by 12 towns, trade is very cumbersome, and the city center has 8 gates, which are surrounded by high walls, and enter the gate to the imperial city.

The Imperial City occupies a quarter of the city, and at first glance you can see the stargazing tower that rises high in the Imperial City, where the high priest of the Imperial City is said to be able to predict the future by watching the stars, which is also the origin of the city's name.

The perennial construction and expansion made the city develop around the imperial city. The area and prosperity have long surpassed the imperial city itself. There are many ways to enter the city, you can take an airship, like Egret and Nina, or a rail train, in addition to that, there are several city roads that lead in from outside the city.

It is mainly a road for magic cars and travelers to enter the city, and unlike the Free City, there are far more magic cars here than in the Free City. Perhaps due to the proximity of the Free City to the desert, most of the vehicles are large pack animals. This is due to its proximity to lakes and forests, the first-class construction of road facilities, and the economic level of the city, which is much higher than that of the free cities.

Egret and Nina checked their identities before exiting the airship center. As soon as I arrived at the comprehensive parking point, I saw a luxury magic guide car in the shape of an RV parked in front of me.

The door opened, and a smaller girl jumped out. The two eyes looked at Nina in a daze, dancing and shouting.

"Nina!"

The girl threw herself into Nina's arms like a koala returning to the bosom of the tree.

"It's back, it's back, it's back, it's not going to go again!" the girl's voice was very pleasant, but the speed of speech was like that of a typewriter, and all the brains burst out of her mouth. His hands were tightly grasping Nina's shoulders, and although he seemed to be asking questions, he actually felt very affirmative, as if he had answered the answer together.

Nina was a little dizzy from being shaken, but she didn't resist, but smiled rarely. "Fiona, calm down. ”

"I came back this time to participate in the Five Gods Festival. Nina paused, "It's almost time for the celebration to begin." ”

"And then stay?" the young Fiona asked without letting Nina bypass the question.

Nina choked on a sentence, as if she didn't catch her breath. "By the way, how did you know I arrived today?

Fiona stared at Nina for dozens of seconds, and Nina was about to retreat before she said, "Okay, you know if your heart is not in the Starlight City." Use such a blunt topic to do the diversion. After a pause, he continued, "I'll keep the administrator of the Airship Center on track early in the morning, and if there's any news that you've logged in to buy a ticket, you'll notify me immediately." So I knew three days ago that you would be here today. From what I know of you, there's no way you're going to miss the Five Gods Celebration. ”

Fiona shook her tender white fingers. "Don't stay here, this is not the place to talk, come home with me. ”

"Go home?" Nina was stunned for a moment, a look of embarrassment on her face.

"Certainly not going back to your home, knowing you don't want to go back. I've become independent and bought my own estate in the south of the city. You'll definitely love to check it out. Fiona said with a smile, "Anyway, there is not so much red tape to live with me, and there is no need to socialize. You just need to get through the Five Gods Celebration as soon as possible. ”

As she spoke, Fiona pulled Nina towards the door of the RV without saying a word, and Nina was stunned for a moment and turned her head to look at the egret.

"Cut. Fiona frowned, an expression of unbewilderment. "I said the pillar over there! Have you seen enough, and when you get to the station, walk away. Don't interfere with others' reminiscences. ”

"Me?" Egret stood there for a long time, watching the two beautiful girls show affection, originally planning to follow in the background, but Fiona didn't want to take him with him at all.

"Fiona, this is the egret, my ......"

"Wait, I don't want to know! Anyway, this unrelated person can leave!" Fiona interrupted loudly, as if what Nina was about to say next was some bad reality.

"Fiona. Nina said in a helpless tone, "The egret has been chosen by me as the guardian knight. I came back with him. ”

"Wheh!" Fiona's eyes widened, looking very cute.

"You awarded this man the precious Order of Knighthood!" Fiona couldn't believe what she heard, "A man!" her tone rose an octave, "what exactly does he qualify?!"

"Don't underestimate the egret, okay? Nina said word by word, "He is already an elite professional, and he is also the inheritor of the special weapon magic blade." Other details will be discussed when we get in the car. ”

Fiona pursed her lips and expressed her displeasure with the egret, but in the end she did not stop the egret from getting into the car.

The three of them entered the RV, Nina and Fiona sat together, and egret sat opposite, and the atmosphere was awkward.

"At first, he was given a medal just to facilitate his travel. Nina was the first to break the silence and slowly recounted what had happened on the airship. Fiona's eyes widened as she listened.

"Are you a nobleman?" Fiona said to the egret first.

"Of course not. Egret said helplessly, he could see that this Fiona obviously didn't want her friend to have anything to do with men, and her behavior was extremely obvious, and she expressed disgust and dissatisfaction with the existence of Egret from the beginning.

"It's a shame that you can tie so many things together. Fiona's face was even more ugly, it seemed that this egret was quite capable, with good martial arts, and a good mind, no wonder Nina chose the egret as a knight.

"My name is Fiona, Fiona Luther, the sole heir to the Duchy of Luther, and Nina's childhood friend. The relationship with Nina is different from that of you, a halfway monk who has known each other for less than a few months. Anyway, now that I'm by Nina's side, you can stand quietly next to you and be a good background. Fiona said. "Although Nina chose you to be a knight, it doesn't mean that her circle recognizes you. I hope you understand that too. ”

"Fiona. Nina couldn't stop laughing. "I'm sorry egret, Fiona and I haven't seen each other for a long time, she's been clinging to me. Please don't pay attention to her faux pas. ”

"Of course not. "How could an egret provoke a noble lady who was already very hostile to him. What's more, this girl is also the heir to some dukedom. Although I don't know the specific situation, the duke level can be regarded as the world's top nobles in the current society, and above this, it is the royal family.

Moreover, a duke with real power in a territory is not the same as an ordinary duke. The Duke of the Territory is completely the master of a small principality. Even some royal families do not necessarily have the real power of the duke of the territory (such as the Kazan Empire).

Egret doesn't want to face up to Nina's childhood playmate as soon as he comes up, and as a rootless visitor from another world, the first thing to do is to find the right place. After all, he is not the protagonist of an invincible novel. Force is only emerging in this world. In case it is not pleasing to the eyes of some big noble, and ten or eight elite professionals come to besiege it, even if the auxiliary system is plugged against the sky, I am afraid that they will be besieged to death.

"Dear Lord Fiona, I'm just an insignificant sidekeeper and chef, please don't worry too much, I'll do my part in the background. Egret said sincerely, even if she didn't think so, such a statement would make Fiona breathe a sigh of relief and not have to pay too much attention to herself. Lest you find your own trouble, although you are sure enough to face it, but who wants to find a bunch of trouble for yourself to deal with?

Fortunately, Fiona is also an understanding person, and when she heard Bailu's words, she nodded with satisfaction: "Finally, she has a certain ability to observe words and feelings, and she is not a good-for-nothing martial artist." You've done a good job, and it's not without preferential treatment. Well, if you can keep to yourself, I can give you a set of outer magic armor. ”

"So generous!" "The egret was a little surprised, the outer magic armor was not an ordinary thing.

Exterior Magic Armor, the full name is the Magic Force Driven External Auxiliary Armor. A human exoskeleton power suit that is somewhat similar to the world where the egret is located, it can enhance the user's all-round attributes. Even the speed of reflection can be greatly enhanced by the benign stimulation generated by the magic force. It is a very practical combat equipment. It's just that the level of research and development of this kind of equipment varies from empire to empire, but without exception, it is the most top-level restricted-level equipment.

Even if you have the money, it's hard to get such equipment. Fiona said that she gave away the outer magic armor, with her identity, it must be true, and it also proved that she was indeed from a top powerful aristocratic family. Even if it's an ordinary duke, I'm afraid you can't just take out the outer magic armor and give it away.

"The Fiona family is famous for its research and development of weapons, and Ambra's largest weapons manufacturing industry belongs to the Fiona family. Nina said as she sipped the juice she had in the car. "This is Fiona's greeting gift. Although she likes to say strange things, she is actually very kind. ”

The corners of the egret's mouth twitched, and she continued to watch Nina and Fiona chatting about all kinds of interesting things that they hadn't seen each other for more than a year, a little absent-minded.

The magic guide cart traveled fast and silently. Good shock absorption allows the car to walk on the ground even on the small roads in the southern suburbs of the city. Egret compared it with the off-road vehicles in its own world, this magic guide car that is not amazing, and its performance is actually much better.

Soon, the magic guide car drove into a huge manor, and as far as the eye could see, a huge artificial lake was placed in the manor. Next to the artificial lake is a woodland surrounded by a European-style castle-like building.

It was Fiona's manor, and in the distance, there were already many people standing in front of the castle to greet them, and it seemed that the formation was very large, giving people the feeling of being worthy of the demeanor of a great nobleman.

Fiona's expression didn't look good, though. "Even Old Dirk came out to greet him, and it seems that something happened that I didn't know about. Fiona said silently.
