Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Grand Duke of Lilac
Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Grand Duke of Lilac
Following Ace to the Duke of Lilac's Mansion, which is located in the most prosperous area of Yanjing, Lear looked at the incomparably imposing and extraordinary Duke of Lilac's Mansion, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, the dilapidated aristocratic manor he had just bought could only be regarded as a wool toilet compared to it.
The tall and heavy courtyard wall is covered with fuchsia lilacs, and through the hollowed out flower walls, you can see that the manor is full of lush lilacs.
I really don't know what kind of magic the Lilac family used, and how many magicians used to spend magic power to make these delicate flowers bloom as usual in the ice and snow.
In front of the open gate stood dozens of strange-looking pillars, which were already covered with snow, and looked like they were either tied to horses or had other uses. In addition, there is silence in front of the wide gate carved with intricate patterns, and even the steps of the surrounding pedestrians involuntarily lighten and speed up.
Lear was wondering, this is the Generalissimo Lilac's mansion, known as the "Sword of the Empire", how could he not even see a single guard?
"Who is coming, dismount in front of the Duke of Lilac's Mansion and stay!" Suddenly a loud shout came, with boundless arrogance and domineering in his voice!
Lear couldn't help but be shocked, but suddenly found that dozens of "pillars" suddenly moved, and they were all heavily armed black-armored red-tasseled blood guard soldiers!
They stood motionless in the snow for a long time, covered in snow, and became the "pillar" that Lear saw. The Blood Guard is disciplined!
"What's it called? it's me!" Ace exclaimed as she lifted the wide black magician. It's no wonder that people are suspicious, Lear and his party are all huge black cloaks, even Ace is a typical magician dress, even his head is shrouded in a huge cloak, the only one who does not wear a cloak is still a lion-shaped man with a height of nearly three meters, and the mace on his back is more than two meters long, which is much thicker than the thighs of ordinary people, and he is a murderer at first glance.
"It's me, what's it called......" Ace took off her wide black mage hat, and her delicate face was suddenly revealed.
"It turned out to be the eldest lady...... "The blood guard immediately put down a smile and said, just kidding, even General Patton can be offended, the little girl in front of him can't disobey, this is the only famous pearl in the palm of the lilac family Osimos!
The old man Ding Xingwang, a large number of sons and grandchildren, but there is only such a granddaughter, who is really afraid of being frightened on her head and afraid of melting in her mouth, that is, if she wants a star, the old duke will also send someone to pick one down! Doting, in the Grand Duke of Ossimos, who is known as the "sword of the empire", is more prominent than ordinary people.
"This is my friend, get out of the way. A smile appeared at the corner of Ace's mouth.
The Blood Guards hurriedly opened the door and let everyone in. Miss Ace's friends? They didn't have the courage to stop them, didn't they see it! It was Miss Ace's and the notorious "Four Youths of the Royal Capital" who were mixed up, and the old duke didn't just laugh at it.
The interior of the Duke of Lilac's palace is extremely spacious, and the scattered houses are connected by verandahs, and the maids move between the rooms with their hands and feet, silently.
But Lear faintly felt that there were layers of murderous intent hidden between the houses! He carefully released a trace of spiritual power to probe around, and sure enough, he found that there were countless pairs of vigilant eyes hidden among the trees, houses, flowers, and so on! And there were several huge breaths in them.
Suddenly, he snorted, and a huge spiritual power suddenly collided with his spiritual power, smashing his wisp of spiritual power into pieces, Lear's body couldn't help but be shocked, the other party had obviously shown mercy, otherwise with his three-legged cat's spiritual power, he would definitely be injured a little when he was caught off guard!
There's a master here who is good at using psychic power detection!! Either a powerful magician or a super fighter! The old duke's mansion seems to be not too much to describe as Longtan Tiger's Den!
"Lear, what's wrong with you?" Ace quickly asked when she saw his face turn pale.
"Nothing?" said Lear, smiling, "Where's the old duchess?"
"Well, it's almost there......" Ace led the group around several extremely luxurious-looking houses into a small courtyard.
There is a small hot spring fountain pool in the small courtyard, a wisp of warm water spews out from the bottom of the pool, emitting a faint hookah, which suddenly raises the surrounding temperature a lot, and a knight sterling silver statue by the pool is angrily whipping a horse, lifelike, even the leaf patterns on the armor, and the folds of the clothes are clearly visible.
"Flame Spirit Spring! Secret Magic Array!" Lear immediately noticed the difference in the water of the spring, and there was a faint connection between the spirit spring and the statue! These days, he has carefully studied the magic books in the ruins of the alchemist master, and gradually has a deeper understanding of the magic system and magic array in this world.
Although he doesn't have access to magic, he still benefits a lot from knowing a completely different spell architecture.
The powerful magic of this secret magic array made Lear feel terrified.
"Ace, bring the guests in, hehe! You made me wait for a long time, old man......" An old voice came from the house, it was the Grand Duke of Osimos, the Grand Duke of Lilac, known as the "Sword of the Empire"!
Lear hurriedly walked into the house, where there were stacks of books on all four walls, stacks of books piled up to the ceiling, and a spirited old man with a hard face and a back as straight as a javelin was sitting behind a thick desk, looking at them with a smile.
Unlike Osimos, who Lear saw in the palace, he couldn't tell, as a saint-level powerhouse, the only sword saint in the empire, Osimos guarded the Byron Empire for decades for a promise, and now St. Aara the Great is a junior in front of him, respectful.
"Grandpa......" Ace threw herself over like a milk swallow and gently slapped the old man's back. Grand Duke Ossimos glanced lovingly at his only granddaughter, turned his head and said, "Count Piaoxiang, do you know why I came to you now?"
Lear honestly replied, "I don't know." ”
This old man has a terrifying momentum, and the tiger elder is still majestic! And Lear felt that the huge pressure on his body was not only the majesty of the person who had been in the position for a long time, but also his own strength!
Ninth-level master! or even higher! Maybe it's really the legendary saint-level! That kind of realm can't be guessed at all with Lear's current meager ability, let alone specifically distinguish and measure. The "Imperial Sword" family, legend has it that this Lord Osimos is the only sword master in the Empire!
He even believed that if this old man made a move, he would have two eighth-level demonic beasts, Yimu Escape Talisman, Wutu Escape Talisman, Substitute Talisman and other mysterious means, and it would be impossible to get out of it with his whole body.
"Well, the little one is quite honest. The Grand Duke smiled, his face turned solemn again: "The purpose of my coming to you is to let you leave Yanjing as soon as possible! Hide in your Piaoxiang territory, although it is chaotic now, but at least it is much safer than Yanjing!"
The Grand Duke said unassumingly, "I decided to let Ace go with you, well, and the unsuccessful little guy of Aden Rieser!"
Seeing Lear's puzzled look, he said again: "Don't worry, didn't you buy a thousand slave gladiators? I'll give you a thousand sets of weapons and armor, the best in the Empire! And the Blood Guard led by Duke will be allocated directly to you......"
Lear smiled innocently and said, "My lord, what I need is a thousand sets of heavy cavalry equipment, and all of them are large ......."
Grand Duke Osimos was slightly stunned, as the Imperial Marshal, he knew the value of heavy cavalry......
