Chapter 976: Free City Experience
In the teleportation hall of Free City, the largest portal in the middle flashed three times in a row, and a man and two women walked out of it.
The virtual screen next to the portal shows that they have teleported from the Demon Hunter Division in Blade City.
Of the three, it was evident that the man was the leader. He was dressed in a gorgeous light helmet covered with delicate patterns, his face was young and handsome, his long white hair hung down from the dragon's head-shaped helmet, and he was noble and powerful in his gestures, obviously not an ordinary person.
And his two female companions are tall, delicate and beautiful, proud of their figures, with long golden and black hair respectively, wearing black armor, and the large snow-white skin exposed between the armor is hidden by the black gauze lining, but it makes people feel a mysterious sexiness.
"Three good. The three of them had already emerged from the portal, and the paladin who was in charge of greeting them said politely, "Do you have any invitations?" If so, show them to me, if not, it doesn't matter, after telling the identities of the three, we will prepare a hotel for the three of them, and welcome them to the coronation ceremony of our Pope." β
"There are no invitations. The man held his head high and glanced at the paladin who greeted him, "However, you Legolas of Ondore know me, go and tell him that Carolance has come to the coronation with his wife. β
"Carolance?" The paladin looked at his three men suspiciously, and after shaking their heads slightly to indicate that they had not heard the name, one of them immediately picked up a metal ball in his hand and popped up a virtual interface and swiped a few times.
"Guest, please wait a moment, we will connect you to General Legolas right away. The paladin explained, "There are a lot of guests coming to Liberty City today, so it may take a little time, sorry. You can come with me to the rest area and sit for a while. β
"It's fine. The man named Carolance nodded indifferently, his gaze scanning the teleportation hall.
In this large room, there are many large and small portals, each with a peculiar display next to it, which can show the location at the other end of the portal.
There are many groups of greeters like the Paladin, and each group waits in front of the portal, responsible for greeting those who come out of the portal.
Although the portal is convenient, some people will have some adverse reactions such as vomiting when crossing the portal, and these greeting teams are very humane to set up priests to treat the guests who have adverse reactions at the first time.
Carolance took his two wives to the lounge at the edge of the teleportation hall and sat down gracefully, where a waiter brought them tea.
"Very quality greeting team. Carolance whispered, "As far as I know, Edward Lee was born in the Western Continent and is a refugee from the Western Continent. When he was young, he also worked as a gladiator in the arena, how could he run this free city so well?"
"I was also a little surprised. The long-haired woman looked curiously at the surroundings and said, "Whether it is the architecture, or these exquisite furniture, or the honor guards who are responsible for greeting them, they are much better than ordinary royal families, and this cannot be the work of a gladiator." β
"So, I usually ask you to read more books and pay attention to the outside world. "The woman with long black hair is more elegant than Carolance and the blonde woman," Edward Lee, the newly rising demigod of our Eastern Continent, is very mysterious about everything, and the speed of his rise is even more astonishing. β
"The Free City is located in a place that was originally called the Forgotten Lands, but the city appeared almost overnight and was built at an astonishing rate. β
"He was able to grow the Free City and the Demon Hunter Knights so quickly, most of the people in the Eastern Continent believed that there was a powerful figure behind him. β
"Powerful people, who could that be?" Carolance wondered, "There are no powerful people on the Eastern Continent other than us and the Fool from the Western Continent, otherwise we wouldn't have lived in peace for so many years. β
"We'll find out soon. The brunette lifted her chin and pointed at the paladin who had greeted them. Above the metal ball in the opponent's hand, the embodiment of Legolas appeared.
"It turned out to be Your Excellency Carolance, and it is our honor to have you here in Free City. Legolas saluted to Carolance on the virtual screen, "The coronation of His Holiness is about to take place, please forgive me for not being able to greet you personally, I will have the messenger take you to the temple." β
Although Carolance was more curious about the magical communication device in the paladin's hand, he couldn't behave like a dirt bun, so he nodded and said, "It's understandable, after all, we are uninvited guests. β
"You can't blame me for that, Lord Carolance. Legolas laughed, "I sent the invitation, but I couldn't see you in person......"
"I didn't care. Carolance waved his hand and said, "We'll talk after we meet." β
"Okay, then I'm rude. Legolas smiled and turned off the com.
"Since the three of you are General Legolas's guests, please come with me. The paladin said without being humble or arrogant, "This is a little far from the Temple of Holy Light, we need to take a shuttle airliner to get there." β
Carolance nodded, and followed the paladin out of the teleportation hall.
"What's in your hand?" the blonde woman, who looked more cute, finally couldn't help but wonder, "And what is a shuttle airliner?"
"This Royal Highness Princess Lily, this is the magic guide that has just been installed with our Order, called the Holy Light Integration Terminal. The paladin politely said, "It's mainly for long-distance communication, and there are some other features that you'll see later." β
"As for the shuttle fighter, it is a flying machine developed by Mr. Sid, the chief researcher of our Ondore Order, to transport people and guests who cannot fly. β
"The teleportation hall is located in the southwest of the Free City, and the temple of the Holy Light is located on the island of Ondashir, so it would take half a day to get there by horse-drawn carriage, so an airport was built next to the teleportation hall in order to speed up the efficiency. β
"I see. The black-haired woman nodded secretly when she heard this, "Aren't you Ondore masters the portal technology, why don't you build a portal between these two locations?"
"Your Royal Highness Princess Wendy, you may not be aware of the limitations of teleportation technology. The paladin concluded, "I don't understand it very well, I heard the holy mage in charge of building the portal say that crossing the portal is not without any sequelae for ordinary people, but crossing the portal continuously is unbearable for ordinary people, and there must be a period of 'cooldown' time between the two times." Moreover, in the Free City and Ondashir Island regions, space spells are forbidden, and no one can release space spells except for the members of the Ondore Protector Order, which is accepted by the World Tree, including the portals built by the Holy Mages. β
Carolance and Lily nodded in understanding, only Wendy was lost in thought.
The Teleportation Hall is a tower-shaped building that stands in the southwest of the Free City. Next to it is a large military camp, and a flat "hard ground" with a lot of strange machinery docked.
The three of them soon came to a building next to the barracks, where there were a large number of people, most of them guests from all over the Eastern Continent, and a few of them were paladins who were responsible for maintaining order.
This is probably the airport. Hungry for knowledge, Wendy muttered to herself, and half-crouched down, stroking the smooth, hard ground with her hands.
"This is the departure hall. "Due to the rush to put it into use, there are some places that have not yet been completed. β
"These are businessmen and guests from all over the world, and they have to wait in line for a short time before they can take off, and we can fly directly to General Legolas's special plane. β
At this time, Carolance and the others had no intention of listening to the paladin's explanation, because through the transparent glass of the waiting hall, they could see a huge shuttle-shaped spaceship descending from the sky. Floated smoothly at a height of three meters above the ground, and then opened three escalators for those who were waiting to enter.
"I felt the powerful wind mana. The blonde-haired Lily looked curiously at the shuttle airliner outside the glass and said, "How did this happen? This kind of mana strength requires at least a legendary-level mage to hold up such a huge thing." β
"This is probably the 'magic guide'. "Probably a means of applying magical technology to a mechanical device, like many enchanted weapons." The Order of Ondore is really not simple, I remember the intelligence said that there was no such strange thing here the other day, but after Ondore announced that the coronation ceremony was about to take place, it took only three days for the airport and these shuttle airliners to appear. β
Carolance, like those who saw the huge shuttle fighter for the first time, looked at it in amazement for a while, and then couldn't help but exclaim: "With these 'magic guides', what are you doing with a carriage?"
"Not to mention the guests, even we are amazed at this kind of thing. The paladin smiled, "But after seeing it for a long time, there is no such sense of amazement, since General Sid joined us Ondore, there have been many such magicians in the Free City, and it will take long to get used to it." Come with me, three guests, we are about to take General Legolas's shuttle to the Temple of Light. β
Only then did the three of Carolance retract their gaze, and followed the paladin down a kind of elevator down the waiting hall to the airport.
A plane much smaller than the shuttle airliner appeared in front of several people, and unlike that airliner, this shuttle fighter was one size smaller, and there were six metal balls the size of a head suspended around it, and the color of the fuselage also changed from silver-white to pale green, and the name of Legolas and the emblem of the Order of Ondore were painted on it.
The paladin sent Carolance and the others to the inside of the fighter plane, handed them over to a female druid, and left.
"Welcome to Free City, Your Majesty Carolance, Your Highness Wendy, and Your Highness Lily, I am Isabella, General Legolas's deputy. The female druid was Isabella, and after saluting the three of them, she said with a smile, "General Legolas misses you very much, Your Majesty, and has specially asked me to meet you." β
"Isabella, the Holy Druid Leader of the Order of Ondore?" Wendy looked at Isabella when she heard this, apparently paying attention to Ondore.
"Strictly speaking, the Holy Druid was founded by General Legolas, who is the leader, and I am only his deputy. Isabella smiled, "Let's take off first, General Legolas and His Majesty Edward are waiting for you at the Temple of Light." β
"Then let's take off. Carolance was now no longer haughty as he had just been, and the novelties he kept seeing aroused his curiosity.
Through the transparent floor of the shuttle fighter, Carolance and the others could see that the shuttle fighter took off into the air at a very fast speed, crossing the tall walls of the Free City and flying in a northeast direction.
Its speed was very fast, and it came to the sky above the Free City in the blink of an eye, allowing Carolance and the others to overlook the neatly planned inner city of the Free City from the air.
After the shuttle fighter stood in the air for a while, several black dragon knights and griffon knights who were in charge of patrolling appeared beside the shuttle fighter, and after flying with them for a while, they were quickly left behind.
"Look, that's your Black Dragon, right?" Carolance said bitterly, "With this kind of fighter, I think your Black Dragon Knights and Griffin Knights can be discharged?"
"That's not going to work. Isabella knew why the other party was feeling bitter, and explained, "Although the shuttle fighter is faster than the Black Dragon and the Griffin Knight, it is not as durable and flexible as the former. Moreover, the manufacture of the magic guide is still in its early stages, and the ability to build these spaceships is already the result of our logistics department's full efforts. β
"The foundation of our Ondore Order is the Holy Light, and the magic guide can only play a supporting role. β
"That strange mana on those black dragons is holy light?" Wendy said with interest.
"That's right, a type of Holy Light, called the Dark Holy Light. Isabella explained, "This black dragon is a top-level species that lives underground, and the traditional light cannot exist in them, only this dark light can do. β
"Interestingly, judging from the body structure of the black dragon, this is a ferocious and evil creature, and the Dark Light can actually change their habits and use it for you, which is really a powerful means. β
"The fact that the Black Dragons have been able to join our army is not only due to the Light, but also because we druids have contributed to the domestication of them. Isabella said with a slight smugness.
"That's right, you druids do give us a special kind of affection. Carolance looked at Isabella with admiration, "If Legolas wasn't a druid, he wouldn't have seen me in the first place." β
Carolance suddenly felt that the elf in front of him was very much to his taste, and suddenly he had a crush on her, and he chatted happily with him all the time during the flight of the shuttle.
His two wives were not surprised by the situation, and the researchers did not care about their husbands.
The shuttle fighter soon came to the sea east of the free city, and a huge tree reached into the distance.
The three Carolans' eyes widened, their mouths slightly open, and they looked at the legendary World Tree in shockβthey had seen the World Tree of Soridasia, but she was nothing compared to the one in front of them!
"Welcome to Ondashir Island, Lord Dragon. As soon as the shuttle plane landed, Legolas, dressed in a magnificent helmet, greeted him.
