When Norman and Suya were greeting, Joseph quietly looked at the Norman Duke in front of him carefully:

I saw that the deputy minister of military affairs of this empire was of medium height, wearing a gorgeous aristocratic dress, although it was civilian clothes, but it was cut to fit, and the workmanship of the clothes was also quite elegant. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The Norman duke was about forty or fifty years old, and in appearance he was seven or eight points similar to Perry. It's just that his face is a little more calm and mature than Perry's, and there is also a bit of majesty between his eyebrows, and he really has the style of an imperial minister.

Seeing that the Norman Duke noticed him at this moment, José withdrew his gaze, nodded calmly, and said with a slight rise in the corners of his mouth: "Lord Norman is polite, José is your long-lost reputation!"

Norman looked at Joseph from head to toe, and his eyes lit up suddenly, and he couldn't help but smile and say:

"I learned from Moxi's war report that the reason why the battle ended so quickly was precisely because the commander of the Macedonian side, Falusi, was killed by a magician, and the enemy's morale was greatly reduced, and the Moxi army took advantage of the situation to repel these Macedonian enemies.

Presumably, the strength of the magician who killed Pharausi is extraordinary, I thought that Master Joseph should be an older person, but I didn't expect that when I saw it today, Master Joseph was really young and promising!"

"Lord Norman is polite!" José smiled and said in a flat tone: "I am just a momentary fluke, and when it comes to the credit for repelling the Macedonians, it is still due to the soldiers who fought bloodily on the battlefield, José does not dare to be greedy." ”

The attendants on the side saw that Joseph was only in his early twenties, and his figure was tall and thin, not outstanding at all, but they didn't know how to be valued by the Norman Duke like this, and he was probably also a big guy.

Now when he heard Norman say this, he suddenly secretly glanced at Jose with some surprise: Magician? Such a young hairy boy is actually a magician? Listening to Lord Norman's tone, it seems that this guy has also made some great feats on the battlefield of Moxi?

Norman laughed, as if he was very satisfied with Joseph's attitude, turned to look at Su Ya and said: "Lord Duke has had a bumpy journey, Your Majesty asked me to tell Your Excellency that tomorrow Your Majesty will hold a banquet for Lord Duke in the palace to celebrate his achievements, and Master Jose and the meritorious generals of the Moxi Army can also accompany him."

Hehe, today I Norman knew that the Duke had returned to the imperial capital, so naturally he also prepared a small banquet in the mansion, and the right was to wash the dust and catch the wind for the Duke, I wonder if the Duke can appreciate his face?"

Su Ya glanced at the few attendants behind Norman, didn't think about it, just said lightly: "Lord Norman's good intentions Su Ya understands, but it's getting late today, I won't go to your mansion to disturb, I will definitely visit your lord one day." ”

When Norman heard Su Ya say this, his brows couldn't help frowning, but he didn't say anything more, nodded and said, "Okay, then since that's the case, then I won't be reluctant, he will be waiting for the Duke at any time." ”

After Su Ya declined Norman's invitation, the group naturally couldn't stay at the city gate, and the fat sheriff in charge of escorting saw Su Ya and Norman, the two dukes, and immediately became courteous and wanted to continue escorting Su Ya back to the mansion. Su Ya naturally didn't like such a guy, and she didn't even bother to say anything, so she sent him away in a few sentences.

Seeing that he had not won the favor of the duke, the fat magistrate was a little reluctant in his heart, but he could only take his men and horses back. It was the seemingly majestic Norman duke, who saw that the fat sheriff's expression had changed a little, and stepped forward to comfort him a few words, and by the way, he also patted this guy on the shoulder.

This naturally flattered the sheriff, in terms of his identity, a big man like Norman, he only looked up to on weekdays, but he didn't expect to be remembered by this duke today, and chatted a few words, and it was really in vain for him to go on this trip.

Jose looked at all of this on the side, but couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

Although Su Ya is a little smart, she is too young after all, and she is not as sophisticated and sleek as this Norman. It can be seen from the attitude of the two towards this fat man, Norman doesn't necessarily like this guy much, but his posture in front of people is much better than Suya.

Uninformed people saw Su Ya's disdain, but Norman was close to the lower class like Corporal Lixian, so he naturally had a different attitude. Not to mention anything else, even if this fat man returns to his post, I am afraid that Norman will be much better than Suya when he talks about Norman in the future.

Routines, they're all routines......

Seeing off the fat sheriff, the group passed through the city gate and entered the imperial capital of Gilliat.

Walking into the city, José was obviously shocked again: from the outside of the city, it already felt that this capital was very huge, but when he entered the city, he felt like he had entered the ancient capital city of the West!

Walking into Gilliat, the first thing he crossed was a street hundreds of meters long, but to José's surprise, there was hardly anyone else to see here except for the soldiers of the Bright Empire patrolling and standing guard, mostly passers-by and civilians.

It is said that they walked on the main road in the city, and the widest place could even accommodate ten horse-drawn carriages in parallel! Such wide streets have been expanded and improved for hundreds of years before forming the transportation network extending in all directions in the imperial capital city, which shows that the builders of the original capital city were also quite far-sighted.

But after passing through this slightly quieter section, after turning a corner in front of the street, there is a different scene:

There are countless lively streets, large and small, lined with shops and taverns, and the level of commerce and prosperity here is even greater than that of Loulan City. Most of the roadside is filled with business and tourists, and the different shops are almost impossible to see.

According to Gould, because this is the main road into the imperial capital, shops are not allowed on both sides of the street, so although the section of the street they walked through just now is wide, in order to ensure the smooth traffic and the majesty of the capital, it is not allowed to set up shops to operate, and this is a small commercial street in the south of the imperial capital, which is naturally more lively.

Qiao Se looked at the crowds of cars and horses coming and going on these streets, and suddenly sighed with some emotion: Sure enough, it is the imperial capital, such a lively scene, since he came to the mainland of Ceylon, he has only seen it in this Gilliat city!

According to Gould, this is just a street in the south of the city, and the trade is only some ordinary goods. In the commercial streets monopolized by some large commercial houses in the imperial capital, there are many rare good things, and it is not uncommon to spend thousands of dollars.

Sure enough, it is an imperial giant, it seems that this Bright Empire is also a behemoth, and what I thought before was too simple, and when I stepped into this capital, the strength of a country was truly undoubted.

It's just that I am in this majestic city, and I can see how much of the empire is in power? )
