"Richard, what are you thinking? It seems that you are always in a daze all the way?" Paul jumped off the horse, handed the reins to the waiter who greeted him at the post station, looked at Chen Rui a little distracted, and asked.

When Paul and Eliza arrived in the capital of the Yang Shao king, Eliza's uncle, Cardinal Roger, happened to visit a church in a city and did not return, accompanied by the archbishop and several bishops, leaving only the Knight of Light Chief Lu Man to stay in the Temple of Light.

Due to the proximity of the duel and the fact that Emperor Rex personally presided over it, Paul did not dare to slack off, but rested for one night in the church of the Yangshao royal capital, and immediately set off the next morning to the neighboring Longhuang Empire. With Paul's identity, the two successfully passed through the border fortress of the Longhuang Empire, and rode all the way to the nearest Dragon's Tooth City.

The strong power of faith in the Palace of Light in the Yang Shao King Capital made Chen Rui's heart itch, and he sneaked into the prayer hall that night and had a "full meal". This time, the main body went to the island of the storm, and the strategy of staying in Garden City as a stand-in made Chen Rui have a flash of inspiration, and a bold jihua began to brew in his heart.

Due to the relationship between fusing memories, after entering the Longhuang Empire, an indescribable emotion began to grow in Chen Rui's heart, which seemed to be homesickness.

"My lord, I was just thinking that Samuel was obviously defeated by the adults last time, but this time he took the initiative to provoke a public duel, but I'm afraid it's not that simple. Chen Rui deliberately showed a thoughtful look: "It is very likely that his strength has broken through, or he has mastered some kind of secret technique...... Not to be taken lightly. ”

Paul replied disappreciatively, "Be of good cheer, I am absolutely sure." ”

"Don't blame me for talking too much, my lord," Chen Rui frowned and said, "My teacher once said that you must despise the enemy strategically and attach importance to the enemy tactically. Even if the strength of the adult is above Samuel, you must not lose your caution, and you must be extremely careful. ”

"I know your loyalty. There are some things that I can't talk about, so I can only tell you not to worry about it needlessly. Paul is well aware of Eliza's terrible methods, and the island of the storm is an extremely terrible place, since Eliza is sure that Samuel and Joanna will not come back alive, then even if Samuel's strength is really not what it used to be, he will definitely die. The only thing that's a pity is Joanna, but this woman's heart is not with him. In the future, as long as you really grasp Liliang and power. Dead one Joanna, there will be more, more haode.

"But ......"

"No, I will win this battle. Naturally, Paul didn't know that the follower's intention was to paralyze him, and smiled slightly, "We have passed through the fortress of Zolo. In front of us is Dragon's Tooth City, and in order to get to the imperial capital of Jerodisha as soon as possible, I have asked the family to arrange two griffons in advance. Do you have any experience with a griffon? Even the domesticated griffin is not comparable to ordinary flying monsters. ”

"I've had a lot of experience in the air, and this is the first time I've been a griffon. However, adults should have confidence in my beast mastery, I am an expert in this area. "Of course Chen Rui won't say what a griffin is, brother is a dragon knight, and it is in a double sense. If you dig deeper, this involves a difficult problem related to posture, and the same goes for the warrior riding the dragon.

When the griffin saw the little thunderbird on Chen Rui's shoulder, he showed a faint uneasiness and hostility, also as a strong man in the air, the rank of the thunderbird was still above the griffin, although this thunderbird was only a young bird, it was enough to arouse the griffin's vigilance. Chen Rui's "beast control technique" immediately came into play, successfully resolving the griffin's abnormality, and driving the griffin into the air.

The griffon's speed is not lower than that of the Wyvern, but its stamina is slightly inferior, but Paul's Norman family is quite shili, and alternate mounts are arranged along the way, so that the two of them can always fly at maximum speed. ...,

Five days later, the two finally arrived at Jerodisha, the capital of the Longhuang Empire, with three days left before the dueling period.

"Yerodisha" means "shining jewel" in the dragon language.

As we all know, the Longhuang Empire, one of the two major empires of human Shijie, has an extremely close relationship with the dragon clan, and has the only dragon cavalry army on the ground - this is a real dragon, and the dragoons of the two-legged flying dragon of the demon world can only be regarded as a copycat.

Yerodisha is one of the most famous cities of mankind, not only the political and military center of the Dragon Soul Empire, but also the largest commercial center, which is magnificent and prosperous. The avenue is large enough for ten large horse-drawn carriages to run alongside, and the streets are lined with buildings, pedestrians, and shops are no longer confined to certain areas, but can be found everywhere, and the music of bards can be heard in small squares or near iconic buildings.

The sum of the three major emperors of the Demon Realm is not as prosperous as this Longhuang imperial capital, and Rao is Chen Rui is two people, and he is also dazzled.

Paul is the eldest son and first heir of the Loman family, and his father, Salvatore Loman, is the deputy director of the Longhuang Empire's Department of Education. Different from the House of Representatives owned by the Lanyao Empire, the Longhuang Empire's monarchy is more unique and the rule is more thorough, and under the emperor are the "two courts and three divisions", namely the Government Affairs Yuan, the Military Affairs Yuan, the Legal Affairs Department, the Finance Department, and the Academic Affairs Department.

The Council of State deals with state affairs, the Military Council is responsible for the Imperial military, the Department of Justice is the body that enforces and upholds the laws of the Empire, the Department of Finance is responsible for economic projects such as commerce and agriculture, and the Department of Academic Affairs is responsible for colleges and education.

The level of the imperial power structure is clear, and the functions and powers are clear, and many places are indeed worthy of reference by the Demon Empire.

According to its strength and heritage, the Loman family was originally only a small family in the empire, but relying on the dedication of recent generations, Shili gradually strengthened and gradually entered the upper echelons of the empire. After Paul became the most famous sword saint of mankind, the disciple of Pasari, the paladin of the Holy Mountain of Light, his influence was further expanded, and recently he made a marriage contract with the Philip family, and many butterfly effects came one after another. The new director of the academic affairs department will be elected among the three deputy directors, the most vocal of which is Paul's father, Salvador. It is said that when Salvatore accompanied Rex the Great on his tour of the Star Dragon Academy last week, Rex the Great revealed this intention, and although the official appointment letter had not yet been issued, many people in the Department of Academic Affairs had already begun to criticize the future deputy director.

Chen Rui followed Paul to the Lohman family's mansion, just in time to see Salvador personally send several people out of the gate. When they saw Paul, they all smiled, and some bowed. Paul recognized the leader as the patriarch of the Lincoln family, a former rival of the Loman family. In recent years, as the Shili of the Lohman family has grown, the Lincoln family has begun to change its strategy and become a good friend of the Loman family.

Now that Paul's participation in the Templar audition is imminent, and the wedding date is getting closer and closer, the patriarch of the Lincoln family personally sent his second son Diego to the Loman family, wanting to become Paul's follower, which symbolizes that the Lincoln family completely handed over the white flag to the Loman family, and Salvador naturally will not refuse. He has already agreed on behalf of his son.

Paul thought for a moment. No objection was expressed. Although the appearance of this "competitor" was a bit unexpected, Chen Rui did not take it to heart, his "beast mastery" and "heart language" were deeply valued by Eliza, and his "loyalty" to Paul was tested again, and he took a step back and said, wait until after the duel. Whether this follower stayed with Paul is still a question.

Seeing Chen Rui's calm appearance, Paul nodded approvingly, as a strong man. There will definitely be more than one follower in the future, but there are also good and bad followers, compared to Diego, who has an impetuous look between his eyebrows. "Richard's" abilities and loyalty are clearly more trustworthy. ...,

There seemed to be no movement from the Philip family and the Camprot family, and there was no news of Samuel or Joanna, and Paul was more certain that he would not attend all kinds of socializing frequently in the days that followed. It was to take Chen Rui and Diego around the imperial capital to show off, but it allowed Chen Rui to have a good look at the prosperity of Yelodisha.

Three days later, the date of the duel finally came.

The venue of the duel was in the largest royal arena in the imperial capital, and Paul's reputation as a swordsman on the first day was very loud in Jerodisha.

Paul was very good-looking, and today he wore a dazzling sapphire armor and a silver silk cloak, and the whole person looked dazzling, attracting the attention of many people, and when he walked into the room, he attracted the screams of the noble ladies and women one after another.

Gossip related to this duel also circulated among the crowd, such as the "triangle relationship" between Joanna, Samuel, and Paul, Samuel lost his fiancée in the duel that year, etc., and the whole scene was already quite hot before the duel began.

Chen Rui is Paul's "group of relatives and friends", and his location is just opposite the VIP seat, although the distance is far, but with his eyesight, he can clearly see the scene of the VIP seat opposite.

In the center of the VIP seat sat one of the two great emperors of mankind, Rex Roland.

Rex was dressed in a pale golden robe, a crown on his head, and a scepter, thirty-five or six years old, handsome, with a mustache, full of the charm of a mature man, with the outline of Arthur faintly visible on his facial features, and a supreme threat flashing between his eyebrows.

When he saw Rex's face clearly, Chen Rui's heartbeat suddenly accelerated a lot, and there was a strange sense of closeness in his heart, which came from the fusion memory, in which the emperor seemed to be a doting father, at least, he used to be.

There was a young man beside Rex, with silver hair and golden eyes, with a casual expression, judging from the seat position side by side with the emperor, this person's status should be very special, this young man faintly gave Chen Rui a sense of danger. It was like seeing Lei Chan in the Bloody Demon Empire that day, at that time, Chen Rui was only at the level of the Demon Emperor.

I don't know if the young man noticed the peep and glanced over here, Chen Rui immediately withdrew his gaze, and shouted with Diego beside him, cheering for Paul. The young man looked at it for a while, found nothing unusual, and turned his head away.

Chen Rui was secretly vigilant, just in case, he didn't dare to look at the young man again, but a special feeling in his heart became more and more intense, as if something was attracting him, his eyes involuntarily moved to the side, and finally landed on the person on Rex's left.

It was a woman, with short blond-brown hair and deep and beautiful blue eyes, sitting next to a man, different from the revealing sensual attire of the rest of the aristocratic women, wrapped in a tight robe and veiled on her face.

The moment he saw this woman, Chen Rui felt that the frequency of his heart beating was unprecedentedly violent, and with his will and liliang at the moment, he couldn't suppress it.

This is the throbbing that belongs to "Arthur", for the first time, so strong. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
