Chapter 383: First Arrival in Free City
"If you can, Buyani ~ next time, please don't use the identity of 'sister'ββ"
Buyani jumped in front and turned around gracefully like a dancer and said, "Ha~ Is this how His Excellency Lelouch thanked others?"
Lelouch smiled bitterly: "It's just a little unaccustomed." β
As a half-brother and sister in Lelouch's heart, Nanali has an extraordinary status, even Euphemia, a half-sister, cannot match. Lelouch didn't like others to take Nanali's place in his heart, and after Lelouch learned in the original book that the emperor used fake memories to let Loro take Nanali's place, Lelouch wanted to kill Loro more than once.
"So Your Excellency Lelouch should have a very beloved sister!"
"That's right!" replied Lelouch casually.
Buyani smiled but was quite surprised in her heart, most dragons have their own strength to determine their status, even if they are siblings of the same mother, they will continue to accept this concept after birth, for this reason it is normal to fight and compete with each other, and in infancy, parents will also intervene to calm down the battle between these children who have not yet grown up, but once the dragon enters adulthood, parents will not interfere with each other.
The weak deserve to be enslaved, the weak deserve to die, and it is normal for the weak to eat the strong and eliminate the good and the bad!
As a descendant of the Crystal Dragon King, Buyani is well aware of the concept that the power of the dragon clan is the strong and the weak, and the inheritance of the dragon king can only be given to one person, and several descendants must kill their brothers and sisters in the battle to prove their strength. Prove that you have the strength to command the entire clan in order to sit in the position of dragon king. Buyani left Crystal Valley because she couldn't stand the strange and ridiculed eyes of her compatriots, and secondly, she was afraid that she would become the first victim in the power struggle. After all, he is the weakest of the brothers, so he will naturally become the first target in the eyes of others.
For this reason, Buyani was very surprised that Lelouch loved his sister so much, it stands to reason that as the Black Dragon Clan is the clan of the Giant Dragon, the concept of the jungle has been brought to the extreme, what kind of situation can make Leluxiu, a member of the Black Dragon Clan, love his sister so much, doesn't he see his sister as his biggest enemy in the future? Loving and protecting these words are not words that should appear in the dragon race, the dragon's words only have strength and domination!
"Your Excellency Leluxiu~ Have you had a good relationship with your sister since you were a child?"
"Of course! After all, we are brothers and sisters of the same mother, and as brothers, we should naturally love our sister. Lelouch said disapprovingly.
Buyani's face sank, and a complicated look flashed in her eyes, looking at Leluxiu, Buyani didn't find the slightest disguise on his face. It's all heartfelt feelings. He really loves his sister.
Lelouch looked at Buyani and suddenly stopped talking and asked strangely, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing!" Buyani hurriedly smiled and waved her hand, and the girl lowered her head and smiled bitterly: "It's just that I envy His Excellency Lelouch a little." β

The huge airship slowly approached the shore, and most of the passengers on this airship were members of various chambers of commerce in the Free City, in the terminal building of the airship park. Passengers are lining up for customs clearance and baggage checks. Although the queue is large, the staff in the terminal are very efficient. There are also some wealthy and hard-working businessmen who have special passages to pass through the security check, in fact, in the past, when Alisa came to the Free City, she could also take a special passage to enter the city without queuing here, but now the situation is special and Alisa is not easy to use the privileges of the Westphalian family in the Free City. The group had to stand honestly in the line and wait for the inspection.
Lelouch's team stood out in the crowd, and from time to time someone turned their gaze and whispered to their companions, of course, most of the men's eyes were focused on Buyani and LeBlanc. As for Gus and Kenjiro, the two characters who look like mercenaries and bodyguards, they are ignored.
"Hey~ When will I get my stuff back?"
Dressed in ordinary clothes, Gus looked at the sculpture on the ceiling with a melancholy expression, and before boarding the airship in the Golden Spike Territory, all of Gus's equipment was confiscated and locked in the cargo hold, especially the huge and conspicuous dragon slaying sword also attracted a large number of onlookers at that time, and many people couldn't believe that Gus could really wield this huge two-handed sword that felt deadly just by looking at it.
"The handover procedures are being processed, but we need to rent a warehouse to store things temporarily. When she came to the Free City, Elisa quickly developed her talents, and all the formalities were handled by experienced girls.
"By the way, what about our guy who always likes the mysteries?"
The mysterious guy in Gus's mouth is naturally a robbery, and Gus didn't see the shadow of the robbery along the way, and even suspected that this guy didn't board the ship with everyone at all, although Lelouch, the leader of the team, said that he had followed. Alyssa frowned instead, the man dressed as the Assassin was a man with a peculiar personality, who did not like to be in the shadows in plain sight. Alisa couldn't help but worry if the robber would want to lurk directly in the free city, you must know that although the free city maintains the so-called neutrality and openness, it also has a set of strict rules, there is a large protective circle on the periphery of the city, and it can only be entered from the designated entrance channel or with relevant documents.
There have been several slave revolts in the Free City, but no slave has ever escaped from this cage-like city. Even those who were lucky enough to escape to the edge of the city crashed headlong into the circle, and the result was naturally turned into char by the power of the circle.
"Don't worry, he's following us. β
Lelouch smiled mysteriously, and Buyani, who was also a dragon, also showed a meaningful smile, the girl's gaze looked to a corner of the terminal, Gus and Kenjiro also followed Buyani's gaze, but no one noticed the figure of the robbery except for the passengers who came and went.
The customs clearance is very smooth, and the text in everyone's hands is almost the same as the original, and at the same time, the free city also implements the concept of money omnipotence, after Alisa slightly manipulated the next one with thousands of lions, everyone quickly left the airship field, and the goods carried were quickly unloaded and loaded into the hired horse fleet, and Gus also took back his full set of food guys.
After entering the outer city, Lelouch also understood the charm of this most prosperous commercial city in the mainland under Elisa's introduction, and the pedestrians and caravans on the road seemed to be unbelievable compared to the most prosperous Golden Spike Territory in the Bellama Kingdom. Along the way, Lelouch and his party were accosted from time to time, but many merchants took a keen interest in the valuable materials carried by the carriage, such as the precious thousand-year-old cold wood, high-purity Mithril ingots, and a large number of precious herbs that could be sold for a lot of money in the free city.
In particular, when some experienced businessmen found that the leader of this team seemed to be a weak young man who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, they stepped forward to offer Lelouch a very 'favorable' price in the hope of buying it, and naturally these people were quickly sent away by the equally experienced Elisa. During this period, the muscular Gus and Kenjiro also played an invisible deterrent role.
Looking for a temporary hotel and renting a warehouse to store the goods, Alisa took Lelouch to the gold exchange to exchange for cash as a non-stop tour guide, and when Lelouch took out the heavy gold bricks from the space ring, the waiter who received him was almost blinded by the luster of gold. It's not that the waiter hasn't seen gold like a bun, but that Lelouch took out the gold bricks that almost didn't crush the entire service desk in one go, and in the waiter's previous work, he had never seen anyone take out so much gold to trade at one time, and he was so calm and free. While there was a lot of talk around, the person in charge of the gold exchange hurried over to invite Lelouch into the VIP room after learning the news.
The experienced staff in the VIP room immediately checked the weight and purity of the gold with a magic guide, while Lelouch sat leisurely on the sofa and sipped his tea. It wasn't until half an hour later that the staff hurriedly handed over the inspection report, which was inspected for its fineness and purity, and weighed it at market value of 170 million liens after deducting the transaction tax.
"Let you wait for your Excellency Lelouch for a long time, after our inspection, this batch of gold is worth a total of 170 million lien, do you need to save for you?"
"Savings~ Is there a bank here?" Lelouch blinked, holding the teacup, and asked with some surprise.
The person in charge immediately recommended: "Yes, this exchange also has designated banking business, do you need to handle it?"
Alisa hurriedly whispered a few words beside Lelouch, who nodded and replied, "Prepare three million rion cash for me, I need it urgently during this time." β
"Yes, it will be a pleasure to serve you, Your Excellency Lelouch, and I wish you a pleasant journey in the Free City. β
After throwing the suitcase full of cash into the space ring, Lelouch and Alyssa walked out of the exchange under the gaze of everyone, and after seeing the people waiting outside, Lelouch said: "Okay, it's not early today, let's go back to the hotel for a while, we must be very tired after the long journey here." β
On the way back to the hotel, the crystal dragon Buyani was quite envious after learning the transaction amount, after all, most of his wealth was given to the White Dragon King as a gift, and some time ago, Buyani also worked tirelessly to get extra money from the mercenaries who broke into the Misty Forest. Alisa inadvertently found what Lelouch was writing, and secretly glanced at Alisa only to find that what was written in the other party's notebook was a text that she couldn't understand.
"Since there is a banking industry, then the financial system should be roughly the sameββ" Lulouch muttered, opened the curtain and looked at the bustling city outside.
It's fun~ Just let yourself take this city into your hands!(To be continued......)
