When I was very young, I was told that man is a social animal, and that people together form families, and families and families form villages, and that the larger, more prosperous villages are called city-states, and then there are kingdoms. www.biquge.info In fact, in my opinion, rules, what abstract words, really change people's narrow family rules, because it is too unstable, it is likely that because children throw themselves into the arms of their parents, with crying and coquettishness, they can easily erase the rules that should be upright, and the palace ministers have worked hard, and the laws and regulations that have been decided in a few days and nights have often gathered with people in a prosperous distance. Therefore, what really warns the people and controls the people is not the emperor who is far away in the sky, but the city lord who is close at hand.

Even if the itinerary is deliberately low-key, Ling Chen's whereabouts should naturally be told to the city lord of Gothje City, this city lord is actually an old acquaintance with Ling Chen, who was responsible for protecting Queen Resnot, Ling Chen's biological mother's personal guard. As for his position at this time, in terms of power he could be in charge of a city-state of 300,000 men, and if he wanted to, he could create 10,000 seemingly legitimate reasons for any one of those 300,000 to die or let one live, and the only thing he lacked was an opportunity to speak to the king before His Majesty. From Ling Chen's point of view, he has been promoted, but perhaps in the eyes of careerists, he doesn't know how much effort he has to put in before he can return to the imperial capital. But what he thinks of himself depends on whether he wants to be a wolf or a sheep, or either he hasn't thought about either, maybe all he wants to do is a dog or a cat?

"Your Highness, you're finally here!" Ohlan greeted Ling Chen warmly and helped Ling Chen off his horse: "Your Highness, do you remember me?"

Ling Chen looked at his eyes, there are many things in this world that Ling Chen is very disgusted with, especially this meaningless greeting, but as a prince, he has long understood that he represents not only himself, although he desperately wants to get rid of his identity, but he also understands that he subtly accepts this identity he hates, after all, people live to adapt to life, even if they don't want to change, but nature will force them to choose to obey. Even so, returning the salute with a smile is now the extreme.

Orlan Roy

Prince Lingchen was also known for his indifference, and this rude response did not make the guard, who had watched him grow up, feel uncomfortable, or he was not qualified to feel uncomfortable. is not close to people, this should be the outside world's impression of this unliked second prince, right?

"Your Highness must have worked hard all the way, I have prepared a banquet for you. Ohran continued. At this time, the scorching sun was in the sky, and it was indeed time for lunch.

Entering the city of Goth, all the way into the palace of the city lord, the difference between the two city-states of Gothkh and Snoar is not small, unlike the Snoar made of bluestone, Gothch is more made of logs. Compared to the cold stone hall, Ling Chen preferred it here. The name of the palace is called Ferret, which is also an elven language, and if it is translated in human language, then it should mean change, but the name is just a name, what can it represent?

The two young men were already waiting at the gate of the palace of Ferrit, just as Orlan had been waiting for Ling Chen at the gate earlier.

These two people, Ling Chen, only knew the one on the right, because he was in a sense his subordinate, the commander of the Order Legion in Goth, Rayvein North. In Resnot, the city-state has no defenders of its own, and all troops stationed in the city-state are randomly transferred from one of the formations of the Order, Fury, and Glory Legions, and are subject to change every year. In other words, the lord of the city only has the right to command temporarily, but he does not have the right to weave the right to transfer. Although Ling Chen is not loved by many officials, but this indifferent temperament is very popular in the military camp, and he is naturally very excited to see his commander Lei Wen, and he did not step forward like Olan, but stood in place and solemnly saluted Ling Chen, Ling Chen returned the salute, and then looked at the last person, although he had not seen it, but the identity of this person could be roughly deduced. Just as the administrative structure of the Resnot Empire was controlled by the prime minister, the chief secretary, and the general, each city-state was also governed by a city lord, a chaper, and a legion. The lord is in charge of the city-state's chores, large and small, with the garrison commander in charge of the security and garrison of the entire town, while the remaining inspectors are in charge of the lord and the captain, as well as the legal community. And the remaining young man must be the Inspector of Goth, Tian Hokin Soth.

"Your Highness. It seems that he has heard the rumors of Ling Chen, Tian Hejin's salute is not so enthusiastic, and Ling Chen still only nodded symbolically. As he said, he hated such hypocritical pleasantries. However, greeting is not his job, which is why he did not deliberately refuse Ryufeng, everyone has their own strengths, and special things should be done by special people.

The pleasant and quiet banquet was also coming to an end, and it was time to put the main topic on stage, Ling Chen coughed lightly twice, interrupting Liufeng, who was talking to Orlan.

"Now I think it's time to talk about the movement of the Demon Beast!" Ling Chen finished speaking, and looked at Olan, after all, as the city lord, he was the best to speak.

"We haven't fully grasped the situation yet, it should be a poisonous armor frog. "Half a month ago, just in the spring, someone reported that a lot of poison-armored frogs were found in Condelin in the west. ”

"But as far as I know, the Gothic region of Condelin should be one of the habitats of the poison frog, so there should be nothing wrong with the presence of the poison frog there, right?"

Orlan nodded: "At first, I thought so, but gradually there are more and more of them, and according to the local residents, the size of the poison frog is much larger than before. Although it is the habitat of the poison frog, many of the poison frogs live in the forests of the Kongdelin, and this year it has spread to the outer forests inhabited by humans. ”

Ling Chen gently picked up the necklace he was carrying around his throat, which was the relic left to her by the queen, it was a habit of his, and when he was thinking, he liked to keep wiping the ruby on the necklace with his fingers. The Poison Frog is a ferocious creature, it always exudes a strong stench on its body, and it is highly toxic to humans from its skin to its bones. At the same time, there is a thick carapace on his back, which makes him stronger than any other in his class, but because of this thick carapace, the poison beetle frog is not good at swimming, and although it still prefers wet places, it does not stay in the water for a long time.

"Castle Lord, I'm sorry, but I don't really understand creatures like poison frogs. You're getting bigger. So how big is the average poison frog?" "Ryufeng is very careful, after all, this involves the safety of the prince, and he must have all the information he can have

"An average adult poison frog is about the size of a normal human head. But as far as I know, there are poison-armored frogs the size of goats. ”

"What's the latest at this time?"

"No, that's what it was ten days ago. ”

"I want to know the latest news. ”

Orlan lowered his head a little ashamedly and looked at Thunderray, the commander of the garrison in Gotherje City.

"That's right, Your Highness. Lei Wen looked at Ling Chen and said: "The poisonous gas on the demon armor frog has become a barrier, many residents living in Kong Delin have dizziness, vomiting, and some are already bedridden, for the safety of the residents, now Kong Delin has been blocked, but the barrier is still spreading, I sent people in to see if I can find the reason, but none of my people have come back, so I asked the palace for help, hoping that the palace can send someone to see what the problem is." ”

"None of your people have come back!? How dare you let Your Highness go down and investigate for you. ”

"We only asked Your Majesty for your Majesty's order, so that Your Majesty could send someone to assist us in our investigation, and we didn't expect that it would be Your Highness!"

"Your Highness, we still will be in the palace, we can't take risks easily. ”

Ling Chen thought for a moment, and said to Lei Wen: "You go and arrange people, let's go around Kong Delin tomorrow first." ”

The reception banquet held for Ling Chen did not end so simply, but the later activities were no longer insignificant, and he left the banquet hall with his own people and came to the study that Oran had prepared for himself.

"Your Highness, I still think we should report to the palace, and Thunder Lane also said that the explorers he sent did not come back. It's so dangerous!"

Ling Chen looked at Liufeng's eyes: "This is the task personally assigned by King Rennote!"

"But you are a prince!"

"Also the Legion Commander of the Order Legion!"

"Brother, don't twist with the second prince, you know, the things he decided will not be changed so easily!"

"Huh......" Ryufeng exhaled, "Then I'll investigate the information about the surroundings of Condelin." ”

Ling Chen nodded, and Ye Xiao beside him spoke: "By the way, check the actions against the Phantom Group ten years ago to see if there are any clues!"

"Yes!" Ryukaze said and left the study.

Ye Xiao stretched his waist: "Second brother, after a day's journey, I'll go and rest first!"

Ling Chen nodded, and Ye Xiao left Ling Chen's study with the phantom.

Liao Qian also said softly: "Your Highness, if I have anything to do outside, call me at any time." With that, Liao Qian also walked out of Ling Chen's study.

Ling Chen looked at the Yuliu left behind and walked to the windowsill, where the sun had slowly set in the west, burning the clouds in the sky red.

"You seem to have something to say to me?"

"Brother!"

Ling Chen frowned slightly: "We should have reached a consensus, here, you shouldn't call me like this!"
