The City of Lakes.

Its prosperity is not inferior to the fifth-tier cities, the buildings in the city are mostly in the medieval Western style, and both the dress and living habits are very different from the city of Noor, but as the gateway to the rain country, it is a necessary place for trade, so the business is quite developed, and the annual tax is also quite objective.

Enter the city.

It's a fast-paced city with no hint of technology, but luckily every country uses the lingua franca as the official language, so there's no barrier to communication.

Thanks to the guards of the castle lord opening the way, the road was unimpeded.

In the city of lakes, the lord of the city has supreme rights, and unlike the constitutional monarchy of the empire, the south seems to have adopted a feudal monarchy, where the king's authority is supreme and not subject to any constitutional restrictions.

As a subordinate city of the rain country, they naturally adopt the same model.

Therefore, when they saw the guards of the City Lord's Mansion, no one dared to stop them, even the merchants who came and went could only stop and wait for Bolin and the others to leave before they dared to act without permission.

As a result, the pace of progress accelerated.

In less than half an hour, Lin Bai and Ellie saw a rather magnificent building, similar to the style of the West Castle Manor on Earth, and even the gate was quite luxuriously decorated, not to mention the servants who could be seen everywhere in the castle.

It doesn't feel like an office at all!

This is the first impression of Lin Bai, but these don't matter, every country has its own national style, which is not surprising.

Enter the castle!

As soon as you enter the castle, you will be greeted by a huge lily garden, the fresh fragrance and colorful colors make you can't help but take a deep breath, and the atmosphere of the nobility of the Middle Ages paves the surface.

"It's beautiful. ”

A hint of joy flashed in Ellie's eyes, and she smiled and said, "I remember that when I was in the palace, Uncle Bogu was always very fond of lilies, but I didn't expect to build such a large lily garden when he stepped down and became the lord of the city. ”

"Hahaha!"

A hearty laugh came from afar: "I didn't expect Her Royal Highness Ellie to remember the old affairs of her subordinates, that is, Her Highness is less than ten years old, and the old man is really honored." ”

Dressed in an aristocratic dress and a strong body, the person who spoke was a man who looked to be in his fifties, but the traces of time did not seem to have left traces on his body, but at a glance it could be seen that this was a terrifying man with great strength.

Lin Bai couldn't help but be vigilant in his heart.

There is no other reason, as a mage, he is extremely sensitive to things like ranks, and he can be sure at a glance that the strength of this guy who is probably the city lord is definitely above platinum, and as for the specific level, even Lin Bai can't find out clearly.

"Uncle Bogu!"

Ellie stepped forward with a happy smile and said, "I haven't seen you for a few years, it seems that your demeanor is better than before, and you are still so handsome, and my father was still talking about you a few days ago." ”

His Majesty was terrified. ”

Respectfully saluting Ellie, Bogu said with trepidation: "Your Majesty and Your Highness still remember Your Majesty, it is your Majesty's honor, this time I also ask Your Highness to stay for a few more days, so that Your Majesty can fulfill the friendship of the landlord." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Bogu, for your kindness. ”

Ellie smiled kindly and said, "But this time I need to rush back to the royal capital as soon as possible, so I can't stay long, and I won't hide it from Uncle Bogu, this time I came here to ask for your help." ”

"Willing to serve Your Highness!"

Bogu and Bolin knelt down on one knee: "It is the honor of your subordinates to serve Your Highness, no matter what order, even if it is to make your subordinates pay for their lives, the city lord's mansion will not hesitate!"

"It's not that serious. ”

Ellie waved her hand elegantly and said, "Please also ask Uncle Bogu to stand up and speak, we will discuss the specific details later, and we have not yet introduced them to you, this is my friend, Lin Bai." ”

Solemnly introduced Lin Bai.

This is the careful thinking in Ellie's heart, so that Lin Bai can get used to the upper class society of the Rain Country, create a sense of belonging, and leave Lin Bai in the Rain Country completely, so she solemnly introduced Lin Bai to Bogu.

"Since he is a friend of His Royal Highness Ellie, then he is a distinguished guest of my City Lord's Mansion. ”

Bogu warmly shook Lin Bai's hand and said: "In Xia Bogu, if Brother Lin Bai can be appreciated by His Royal Highness Ellie, then the future will definitely be promising, and don't forget the decay of Lake City, hahaha." ”

"Uncle Bogu, you formed a gang in front of me, but I have to tell my father. Ellie smiled with satisfaction, and Bogu's performance made Ellie very satisfied.

However, Lin Bai didn't understand these ways of officialdom.

At the moment of holding his hand, he just felt a cold back, as if his whole body was seen through by the person in front of him, he quickly let go of his hand, and then the sky swirled, and suddenly fainted.

"White, white ......"

Hearing Ellie's call in a daze, Lin Bai lost consciousness completely.

Ellie was suddenly shocked, her face changed suddenly, and she held Lin Bai and said sharply to Bogu: "Uncle Bogu, what is going on, why Bai was fine before, but he just shook hands with you and became like this." ”

Your Highness forgives your sins!

Bogu immediately knelt on the ground, Douda's cold sweat slipped down his forehead, and he said in a panic: "Your Highness Ellie, your subordinates don't know what's going on, and you don't dare to attack your friends with your highness, even if you borrow a few dares!"

As he said this, he kowtowed repeatedly.

And Bolin behind him also knelt on the ground, he saw his father kowtowing again and again, and hurriedly whispered: "Your Highness Ellie, Mr. Lin Bai seems to have just fainted from exhaustion, and there is nothing serious." ”

Syllable!

Bogu slapped Bolin in the face, and then shouted: "Bastard, Her Royal Highness Ellie has his own judgment, how can you talk here, kneel for me!"

Bolin was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that his father would hit him directly with just a sentence.

But at this time, he didn't have the courage to ask his father the reason, and his fear of his father was deep in the bone marrow, although he didn't understand it, but he buried his head deeply.

Hearing Boleyn's words, Ellie's brain regained its composure.

No matter from which point of view, it is impossible for Bogu to attack Lin Bai in front of her, because this is tantamount to not giving face to Ellie, but not to the princess of the kingdom, how is that different from rebellion?

So Ellie used her battle qi to probe Lin Bai.

In the end, everything was really as Bolin said, Lin Bai just fainted, speaking of which, Lin Bai was really exhausted for her for a while, plus the previous battle, it was not impossible to faint, after all, this is a lesson from the past.

Therefore, she smiled again and said: "Uncle Bogu, please hurry up, I am wrong to blame you, I'm really sorry, and please don't blame Brother Bolin, it's all because I'm not calm enough." ”

"Your Majesty is terrified!"

Bo Gu stood up tremblingly and said: "Your Majesty has prepared a little wine for Your Highness to wash the wind and dust, and please move to the inner courtyard, I will invite the best doctor for Brother Lin Bai to prepare a first-class guest room." ”

Nodding, Ellie said to Bogu: "Trouble Uncle Bogu, then I'll take Bai to the guest room to rest first, and I'll go to the banquet with him when Bai wakes up later, and Uncle Bogu won't accompany him if he has something." ”

"Then your majesty is rude. ”

Bogu bowed slightly, and then said to the butler behind him: "Butler, you take Her Royal Highness Ellie and the distinguished guests to rest first, and serve me well, if you neglect Her Royal Highness Ellie, be careful of the head falling to the ground." ”

"Yes, yes, little one understands!"

This butler, who was about 40 years old, not only short, but also knew that he was a sleek person at a glance, hurriedly saluted: "Your Highness, please come with me, the best guest room is in the east courtyard." ”

With that, the butler disappeared from view with Ellie.

It was only then that Bolin got up from the ground and said, "Father, what happened just now ......"

"That's exactly what I did. ”

Bogu said unabashedly: "The reason why that kid fainted was just that I tried my best to probe his strength, and at first I thought how could an ordinary person be appreciated by His Royal Highness Ellie, but this time I really looked away......

"Is it ......?"

Bolin's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that he really hides his strength?"

"That kind of close physical contact, even a diamond-level professional can't hide his strength, and it can already be determined that he is just an ordinary person without fighting spirit. Bogu said with a grim smile.

"But!"

Bolin hurriedly said, "I saw that guy kill a golden second-order swordsman with my own eyes, is there a bomb in this?"

"Kill the Golden Second Order?"

Bo Gu paused for a moment, and then said: "This kind of thing is impossible, if he really killed a Golden Second Order, it was probably using some kind of prop, and he himself really didn't have any fighting energy." ”

For his own judgment, Bogu is absolutely confident.

But after a pause, Bogu said again: "But this person has to be guarded, just let him fall into an ordinary coma, but His Royal Highness Ellie directly questioned me, it is enough to see that the status of that kid in His Royal Highness Ellie's heart is afraid that he has surpassed everyone, he is a threat to you!"

"Didn't you say there was no fighting spirit?"

Bolin asked puzzledly: "It is absolutely impossible for an ordinary person to become a guardian knight, so why should he be regarded as a threat? As long as we escort His Highness Ellie back to the capital, I am not afraid that His Highness Ellie will be stingy with the position of a guardian knight, right?"

"Stupid!"

Bogu hated the iron and said: "The guardian knight beside the princess, the chief of the guard beside the king, the glorious knight beside the prince, although the titles of these three knights are not high, but they are the most important positions, you think that escorting Her Royal Highness Ellie back can get the position of guardian knight, it's really stupid!"

- "And!"

Bogu's eyes narrowed into a straight line: "With His Majesty's favor for His Royal Highness Ellie, it is difficult to guarantee that an ordinary person will not be allowed to become the guardian knight of His Royal Highness Ellie, Lin Bai has to be removed!"
