Chapter 9: To the Imperial Capital
"Everyone, pack up, and we'll head to the empire first!"
Gozzi stood in front of everyone and gave a simple command.
"Empire?"
Guy, who was still active among the children, screamed, which also represented the mood of most people.
For these poor children, the empire was a sacred symbol, and compared to the city before them, it must have been heaven and earth.
"Yes, the upper echelons said that they want to meet you, Nahasiu, you help everyone, let's go immediately, the ordinary group in front is waiting for us."
"Normal?"
Akatomi, who had just been separated from the black pupil for a short time, suddenly perked up when she heard this name.
The seven members of the selection group began to get busy, and several of them were still very curious about being able to go to the legendary empire.
However, because they had just crossed the sea of trees in Jifonora, they were still a little afraid of Gozqi, and several people packed up quickly, and after a while, they were neatly lined up and stood in front of Gozqi.
The first seven people who crossed the sea of trees in Jifonora entered the selection group, and the training was led by Gozzi.
The seven are:
Nahasiu, a cool big boy with pink hair, was the first to run into the sea of trees in Jifornora.
Guy, with a cheerful personality, is usually a little out of tune but is reliable at key moments.
Green, who doesn't like to talk, is a noticeably sullen boy.
Tsukushi, a girl with a gentle personality, looks like a bully.
Boni, big grin, stupid.
Cornelia, serious and strong, has her own ideas, a big sister.
Finally, there's the red pupil.
As everyone knows, this trip to the imperial capital will completely change their supposed pitiful and tragic fate.
"Roar, let's go!"
Gozzi raised his arms and shouted, and the group set off with logistics.
"Oh~ Gozzi, I didn't expect to meet so soon!"
After making peace with the ordinary group, Bill made a rare joke.
"I don't know what the imperial capital thinks, but I was even ready to train their village, but they temporarily told me to go to the imperial capital."
"Who knows, but fortunately, I was going to go to the imperial capital."
"Empire! Empire~"
Gozzi was a little emotional, looking ahead and not knowing what he was thinking.
"Recently, there has been a significant increase in rebellions in various places, whether it is for the people or those who carry the people's flag, there are many of them?"
"This is not something we should think about, the assassination team just needs to take the order and kill them all!" Bill didn't care about any of that.
Goz and he really didn't have anything in common, shook his head, and said softly:
"Empire, how long can you last?"
Gozzi's tone was soft, very light, very light, but Bill next to him still heard it.
He pushed down his monocle and smiled:
"What does this have to do with us? Command! Or an order! Drive. ”
With a flick of his horsewhip, Bill sped up and kicked up a cloud of smoke.
"Slow down, full speed ahead! Drive! ”
Gozzi shouted backwards, picking up speed as well.
Behind them were several wagons, all of which were on board the assassination team.
。。。
"Wow, is this your sister with red pupil-chan?"
On the girl's carriage, Tsukushi looked surprised.
"It's really like that."
A member of the ordinary group, Silver is also excited.
Red Hitomi and Black Hitomi held hands, and they were both pleasantly surprised that they could be reunited just after separation.
"By the way, why did you suddenly go to the imperial capital?" Cornelia was a little confused.
"Harm, whatever, my father didn't talk about it." Boni didn't bother to think about it, and sat with a big grin.
His father was Gozzi, and he asked the seven members of the selection group to call themselves that. And he, to take on the duties of a father, to give seven people a home.
"Hmm, Boni, you've squeezed me~" Tsukushi's voice came, weak.
"Oops, I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention."
Bonnie tightened his legs, and a carriage of several people was still a little crowded.
"Bear with me for a while, and there will be a break later, Red Hitomi, I have jerky here, do you and your sister want to eat it?"
Cornelia pulled a handful of jerky from her bag.
"Meat?"
As soon as the red pupil heard the meat, his eyes lit up, and the black pupil next to him was also eager to try.
"Wow, Cole, when did you hide it, I want it too!"
Poni is such a character.
"It's not hidden, it's left over from my meal."
The girls got along quickly, and after a few days of crossing the sea of trees, the relationship heated up rapidly.
As for the boys' carriage, it was much quieter, and after all, Guy had a slightly more lively personality in the whole car, but looking at the silent people next to him, no one cooperated, and he couldn't be particularly unsociable.
A few days flew by.
After a long journey, the children have long lost their original spirit.
Even Pony wilted, occasionally talking to Cole next to him.
"It's here! Prepare. ”
There was a knock outside the carriage, followed by Gozzi's magnetic voice.
"Ah~" Bonnie jumped to his feet and hit his head on the roof of the carriage as expected.
"Oops!" The impact was not light, and Bonnie held back what he was about to say.
"Poof." Tsukushi didn't hold back and laughed out loud.
"Be careful~" Cornelia was a little distressed and reproachful, and gently stroked the top of Boni's head.
"Woo woo, I'm too excited, pull the curtain open."
Remus, who was sitting in the ordinary group near the door, also excitedly pulled the curtain open.
For a moment, everyone was shocked.
"That's... Is that the King's Heights? ”
Boni stammered a little, looking at the palace that was still far away in the suburbs of the imperial capital, and it was shocking to look at it.
"Well... It's so big~" Tsukushi was also stunned, compared to the small city before him, no, there was no comparison at all.
There was only one royal palace comparable to the city before him, with mountain-high buildings, one high ground after another, surrounded by the towering palace main city.
Closing the eye, there is a dense crowd of buildings, this is the inner city on the outskirts of the palace, and the houses are neatly arranged, like soldiers being inspected in an orderly manner.
Further out, there is the outer city where ordinary people live. The entire emperor is surrounded by thick circular walls, the inner city is twice the size of the inner city of the main city, and the buildings of different colors, all of which show the prosperity of the thousand-year-old empire.
No one is shocked to see such a scene for the first time, and no one can suppress their respect for this thousand-year-old imperial capital.
"Are we going to go to a city like this?"
The red pupil whispered, feeling the black pupil's hand next to him being held tightly.
It seems that the little black pupil was also shocked by the imperial capital in front of him.
"More than that, we're going to the height of the king, the highest one, the high ground that represents the palace."
Gozzi didn't know when he sat in the driver's seat.
Feeling the shock of the girls, he explained:
"This is the Empire, the Great Empire!"
