This is the golden city of Bactria under the midday sun, the most prosperous city in the entire southern continent, the absolute center of the economy, culture and art of the Tocharian civilization. This is the middle section of Khalifa Street in the middle of the midday sun, where the whole street is most crowded, and it is a shopping paradise where the famous weapons and armor shops in the mainland are gathered.

These were three men in the midday sun, Zuta in the burned eyes of his hands and left arm, Asai with a pale face and no blood, and Jonah with his hair and clothes charred and his face covered with smudges. They stood in the middle of the main road in the middle of the Golden City of Caliphate, like a reef splitting the surging crowd in half, people walked past them with different expressions, too lazy to look at them, Bactria was a strange alien traveler, who would not have seen three young men in ragged clothes?

The world outside the barrier was unaffected by the battle, the breeze was blowing, and the shadows of the trees were waving. "Where's the Enchantmenter?" Jonah gripped his staff and looked around. It was impossible to discern in the crowd which was the hidden enemy, and everyone looked suspicious, and because they were too suspicious, they became less suspicious.

"He must have left. Zuta shook her head, "Although you have escaped this disaster and repelled a formidable opponent like Tuva Tugen, from now on you cannot act alone, you must always be on guard against enemy sneak attacks, your identity has been exposed to the eyes of the Red Brotherhood, you must be aware of the seriousness of the matter!"

The third-level astrologer nodded solemnly: "I know." ”

"I don't think you know that. The warrior on the ghost's left hand stomped his foot with some indignation, shaking off the floating ash on his black coat, "No one has taught you to pay attention to your safety at all times, and don't be injured and bleed? Bactria's detection circle is the largest in the entire Southern Continent, and you simply took the initiative to send it to the door and let others slaughter it!"

"Ahem, that, Brother Zuta. The Oriental man stood between the two of them good-naturedly, "You see that the matter has come to this point, you can only meet all the consequences, don't look at me today I am weak, I will slowly become stronger in the future, Brother Jonah is with me! ”

Zuta glanced at him, "I hope so." Your identity is also under investigation, and I can't trust you until I reach a conclusion. Jonah, I'm leaving now, but there will be other warriors who will take my place to keep you safe, and in a day the listener's reincarnation will be completed, and she will reach out to you. ”

“...... Is she—Miss Ross?" asked Jonah at once.

“...... Good bye. The sound of the warrior's gold and stone echoing remained in the air, and the black giant shook its feather-like light and disappeared into the crowd in an instant. Jonah shook his head. Ah Sai commented quite happily: "This brother is a tough guy, he is so seriously injured, he doesn't snort, his strength is also very strong, but the energy that belongs to the dark system happens to be restrained by the brother who plays with fire." ”

"Speaking of which, is Tuva Tugen a human or something, and why can his body turn into a ball of fire, and escape?" the astrologer couldn't help but ask, "If he kills him back now, we're afraid we'll ......."

"Brother Ann Layona. The Oriental waved his hand, "He is the heir of the Fire Bloodline." The profession of bloodline heir - it can't be said to be a profession, it should be said that such a type of person with ability - is quite rare, the ability is passed on from family line, some of them can naturally awaken and become very powerful abilities, and the other part of them need a special magic array catalytic for artificial awakening, then the results can be strange, and may have various consequences. In short, the bloodline ability of the Tugen family is fire, and Tuva Tugan, the old man, should be the artificially awakened alien of the Tugen family, with the strange ability to turn the entire body into flames. However, when he finally escaped, his strength was at least weakened by more than seventy percent, and it could not be said that he was seriously injured, at least his vitality was greatly injured, and he would definitely not be able to fight again in a short time. If he is the highest combat power of the Brotherhood in the Southern Continent, then the other miscellaneous fish are not terrible, so, Ann. ”

Jonah nodded his head and then reminded, "You're bleeding from the corners of your mouth." ”

"Oh nothing, the after-effects of the Gluttonous Lord. Asai wiped the blood without hesitation, "Just have a full meal." But when you have time, you have to tell me who you are and what kind of trouble you are. ”

The astrologer replied, "Of course." But I want to ask you the same question. ”

The two men looked at each other for a few seconds and laughed in tacit agreement. A short but fierce battle was over, and the aftermath of the catastrophe felt very good, and the two walked slowly on the lively street, "Oh, your bodyguard has arrived." The Oriental suddenly pointed out at Yonanunu and signaled that someone was following him.

"The members of the Ghost's Left Hand are all strange people. Jonah commented, "Don't go over and say hello, I'm afraid it will frighten him." ”

Walking a distance of dozens of yards, I saw Prince Harimaya's royal four-wheeled carriage in the distance, and the coachman was standing on the wheel and looking out, and when he saw the image of the two, he immediately pushed away the pedestrians and rushed over, so frightened that his lips turned white: "Great, my lord, what's wrong with you? Does anyone dare to attack you? The distinguished guest who attacked Prince Harimaya! He, he must be impatient!"

Jonah guessed what he meant, and motioned for the Orientals to reassure him. Asai grinned and patted the coachman on the shoulder, and shoved two silver coins into the other's palms: "It's okay, it's just a harmless prank, if you have a change of clothes in your car, the astrologer will be very pleased with your carefulness." ”

Two silver coins were nothing to the coachman of the Prince's Palace, but the appreciation of the big man still made him smile, and swallowed all the questions into his stomach: "Of course, of course! Please hurry up and get in the car and change your clothes, I will prepare washing water and medicine!"

A few minutes later, under the careful and thoughtful service of the coachman, the two of them washed clean, changed into neat and clean clothes with a faint fragrance from the inside out, briefly treated a few bruises and bruises, and drank a few glasses of cold light sparkling wine, and immediately felt suddenly new, as if they were alive again.

"Where are you going now?" Jonah slumped into his comfortable seat and turned his face to ask his partner next to him.

The Oriental hooked his finger and called the coachman over: "What time does the royal samurai selection start?"

"One o'clock, Lord Swordsman, there is still a little time, although there is not enough time to go back to the manor for lunch, but there are a few good restaurants nearby, and the Prince has ordered that all the seats in these restaurants be reserved, and you can choose as you like. The coachman respectfully pulled out a roll of parchment, and the elaborate gilded parchment showed the locations of all the famous restaurants in the Golden City, the main cuisines, and the specialties, from the change of clothes to the list of restaurants, and it was evident that the prince had already made all the arrangements, which made the two men feel very intimate. In comparison, the mayor's demagogy with the steam room on Hot Wind Street is a bit too low-end.

"We made a beeline for Valhalla. The Aseti astrologer made his choice, "There should be food prepared there, right?"

"Of course, it's all arranged, my lord!" a look of ecstasy appeared on the coachman's face, and it was clear that his ultimate task today was to send the two of them to Valhalla, and perhaps some high reward awaited him.

The wheels spun around and the carriage drove through the crowds of the Caliphate before suddenly turning north into a wide road guarded by warriors with swords and spears. Gone, the royal road leads to the Harrymayan Palace at the northern end of the Golden City, and Valhalla on the outskirts of the palace.

"Privilege, huh. The Oriental seemed to want to show a cynical expression, but the pleasant squint of his eyes revealed the decay in his heart. He took a sip of cold sparkling wine and exhaled a long breath: "Brother Jonah, in the current situation, it is the best choice to become the royal officer of Emperor Isaibaink through the selection of the royal warriors, and you need a strong backing to protect yourself." ”

"I understand. The third-level astrologer nodded with some hesitation, "But now that the Joint Amnesty Decree is still in effect, it is a violation of the treaty for me to join the army, and the astrologer association will cancel my astrologer qualification if it knows......"

"Come on, the guild has run away, they have long since acquiesced in the choices made by the astrologers. "Remember, only your own strength is the only way to survive, and you can't go wrong with all the conditions at your disposal, Brother Jonah." ”

Jonah nodded slightly, turned his head to look out the window, the elegant mansions were hidden in the shade of palm trees, and the road was lined with the residences of dignitaries and nobles. How much power can a regime have? How much help can a powerful empire bring to itself? He shook his head slightly, his thoughts filled with thoughts.

Half an hour later, the carriage arrived near Valhalla, and with the family crest of Prince Harimaya, it drove all the way to the main entrance of Valhalla. Valhalla is an eighty-foot-tall stone building, the exterior walls and floor are built of giant bluestone transported from the Great Gobi, the forty-four marble pillars under the dome represent the heroic spirits of the forty-four generations of rulers of the Tocharian Empire supporting the huge empire, and in the center of the main hall stands the throne of Esaba Incker, which is the place where the emperor ascended the throne and received the baptism of his ancestors, and it is also the center of the entire Tocharian Empire's royal power.

In the side hall, which was equally cold and solemn, Jonah and Arsai enjoyed a very sumptuous lunch, and they were accompanied by several candidates with different descriptions and who seemed to have a few brushes, and the Orientals chatted with them good-naturedly, and received many cold and unkind glances.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, torches lit up the main hall of Valhalla, illuminating the vast hall that looked unusually dark even in the daytime, and two men entered the main hall under the guidance of the warriors of the guards, and a dark crowd was already standing in the center of the hall, silently waiting for the fateful moment to come. At 1:07, forty-five loud cannon salutes rang out at the entrance of Valhalla, royal warriors in golden armor rumbled into the main hall, the valets spread a snow-white woolen carpet on the marble floor, the ceremonial officer spilled flower petals, perfume and gold leaf, the drummer beat the snare drum, and the one who entered Valhalla, accompanied by the richly dressed servant, the sword-armed attendant of the guard, and Prince Harimaya, was one of the legendary twelve councillors, the forty-fifth ruler of the Tocharian Empire, virtuous, upright, The brave king Esaba Incker the Great.
