After eight or nine hours of flight.

Goodern and his party arrived at the capital of the Orrea Empire.

The Fenggu Plain is the largest plain on the mainland, and the royal capital of the empire was built in the center of the plain.

The scale of the royal capital, Goodern has been shocked by its grandeur from far away in the air.

Looking from the air, you can clearly see that there are two sets of sections of the city in the royal capital.

The outer wall of the city stretches for nearly dozens of miles, and the entire outer city is a huge square from the perspective of the air.

At the same time, in addition to the outer city of the royal capital, the Yongshuang River, which runs through the entire continent, was also used, attracting a huge moat for it.

When they got closer, the outer walls were also very large, and the height of Gudeen alone was more than twenty meters tall.

Moreover, the overall color of the city wall is white, which does not look so dazzling in the sunlight, but an invisible sense of oppression is coming.

After arriving at the royal capital, although they also descended in height, they did not land outside the city, but directly skipped the city wall and flew towards the city.

As griffin legions, they have the full strength to be able to enter and exit the sky above the royal capital at will.

But inside the Imperial City, that's not going to work.

But at this moment, there will also be a short flight to the royal city.

Gudern, who was sitting on the back of the golden griffin, also looked at the layout of the royal capital and the bustling crowd below with a somewhat shocked expression.

As the imperial capital, the population living here is more than one million, and this scale also makes the architectural style of the royal capital also their own.

The neatly laid out and distinctive buildings, such a picture can be regarded as a painting style that makes Gooden feel like he has traveled to another world.

After entering the royal capital, the members of the griffin legion also slowed down, and when they arrived at the imperial city, it only took more than two minutes.

Outside of the western part of the Imperial City, there is a camp dedicated to the Griffin Legion, where they landed.

"When you arrive, your lodgings are in the palace, and the person who received you is already waiting here, oh, it's him."

Goodern and his party had just fallen and had not yet gained a foothold, when a group of people came up from inside the camp.

The squire at the head bowed slightly to Goodern and greeted him first.

"Lord Earl, I am the chief of the royal guard, Garay, responsible for all your help in the palace, you are tired from the journey, the dormitory in the palace is ready, you can move in at any time, I wonder what you plan now?"

The earl was referring to him Gooden, and although he had not yet been officially conferred, this position was already out of reach, and it was not inappropriate to use his title in advance.

Faced with the choice, Goodern glanced at the other party, then at Hogzis, and said.

"Then please take me to the dormitory, Captain Hogz, and we'll see you next time."

"Hmm." Hogzi nodded.

Gary looked at the guards behind Goodern and reminded.

"Lord Earl, for security reasons in the palace, all your guards cannot enter with you, and I will help you arrange their placement."

Faced with this situation, Goodern was not surprised, and looked back at Hobert.

"Hobert, just take someone outside and wait, I'll let you know something."

"Yes, young master."

Hober nodded and agreed, and then the royal guards gathered in the procession, walked out of the two, and led Hobart and his party to the residence.

Goodern, Joseph Sr., and Erin followed Gare into a luxurious carriage and headed to the interior of the Imperial City.

The outer walls of the imperial city and the royal capital are similar in structure, but slightly different in color and scale.

The walls of the Imperial City are black and gold in color, which at first glance looks ordinary and very low-key, but after staring for a long time, the black and gold walls will be gradually occupied by gold, until they turn into dazzling pure gold.

Such a magical change also made Goodern feel novel.

At the same time, the internal scale of the imperial palace is also amazingly large, at least more than three times that of his Qingyuan Town.

And the soldiers stationed in the imperial city, Goodern felt a little, and everyone started at a high-level level.

None of them were below the high-level level, and there were as many as a thousand people at the entrance of the Western Imperial City alone.

Ordinary soldiers are all high-level soldiers, and the squad leader or garrison general who leads the team is a high-level peak or a master-level starter.

With such a strong defender, you can also see how terrifying the empire is.

On the way to the dormitory, the carriage circled for about ten minutes before arriving, and on the way, Garay was also dutifully introducing the area of the palace to the three of them.

The area that can be announced is naturally not very important, and the layout of the entire palace is somewhat similar to the design of the Forbidden City.

The south gate of the front, the west and east sides of the area are not purely areas of royal life, but various departments that serve the royal family and institutions that run the state.

Even if only one-third of the area is used for layout, there are enough people in this large area to live and operate for tens of thousands of people.

In the center of the Imperial Palace, it was the place where His Majesty worked and discussed various affairs with his ministers, and in the future, it was the residence of the Emperor and the Imperial Family.

Goodern and his party were taken to the side of the royal residence to live in the palace for a while.

The luxurious ornaments and all kinds of handicrafts make Goodern smack his tongue.

Although he didn't understand the value of this thing, the excellent and rare qualities that popped up from the panel were enough for him to feel the heritage of the imperial family.

"Lord Earl, this palace is your residence, you can always order us if you have any orders, and we will arrange them for you."

A three-storey palace with a total area of tens of thousands of square meters in the shape of an I-shape is his current residence.

It is said to be a palace, but it is better to say that it is an independent villa in the palace, with its own garden and various supporting rooms, and its service scale is not much more luxurious than the so-called five-star resort of Blue Star.

And outside the palace, there is a group of more than 100 attendants waiting in this line.

Gary said, and then introduced and commanded the attendants.

"This is Lord Earl Goodern, and your task during this time is to serve your lordship."

"I've seen the Earl."

A group of attendants bent slightly and saluted Goodern.

Looking at the hundreds of attendants, two-thirds of them turned out to be all maids, and each of them had a score of at least eighty points or more in Gooden's standard.

Like Erin, Anna, Herissa and others, they are all above the standard of 95 points, and under the score of this section, he can be regarded as relatively experienced.

And so many beautiful women's costumes, Goodern reminded him of the words in the first letter Oleg wrote to him, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

The good things that his predecessor did in Jinyuan City, his cheap father is already clear.

Even he wondered if his father had secretly sent someone to help him screen in advance after playing with his predecessor for so long.

Now arranging so many maids for him can't help but make Gooden suspect that there is fraud in it.

But I didn't think much about it, he still brought Erin with him, just let Erin come if he has something.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty would like to invite you to dine with you in the evening, and if you are tired from the journey and want to rest, you can postpone the time, you see?"

Hearing the other party's words, Gooden paused, thought for a moment and asked.

"Am I alone?"

"It's okay if you bring your family."

"......, come and let me know before dinner."

"Yes, Lord Count."

Gary nodded slightly, and said respectfully, while arranging personnel to serve and arrange the three of Gudeen.

Goodern had seen the luxury of the palace, and after a brief rest, when night fell, a team of attendants came to invite him to the heart of the palace.

Goodern, dressed in formal attire, took Erin and Joseph Sr. with him.

Anyway, the other party also said before that he could bring his family, and the two of them are also important people related to him, so it doesn't hurt to take them.

After passing through the layers of forbidden doors and palaces, the three of Gudwin finally came to a deep palace banquet hall.

The banquet hall here is different from the regular reception hall and has more private and simplified ceremonial areas.

Under normal circumstances, the banquet hall here is used for family banquets inside the royal family.

But today it is for some reason open to an undecorated earl, and to dine with His Majesty.

This kind of treatment made people who knew the usefulness of this place couldn't help but look at Goodern more.

"Your Majesty, Count Goodern is here."

Entering the hall, Goodern finally met the emperor of the Orrea Empire.

Compared with the appearance of light and shadow in the letter, Olek's body is more powerful, and the coercive momentum it carries is also more inexplicably panicked.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Goodern placed his right fist on his left chest, and bent down slightly to salute.

In the same way, Joseph Sr. and Erin also faced Alec with their own etiquette.

Olek looked at the appearance of his son, a large part of which inherited his appearance, and at first glance it really looked like he was young.

Although he was not very satisfied with the previous situation, the recent situation in the north made him more and more satisfied with this son he had never met.

Especially after killing the son of the orc beast king, although the importance of it must not be compared with the eldest prince he values the most, it can be regarded as a bad breath for him.

"Let's serve, come, sit down."

Nodding slightly with satisfaction, Olek instructed the personnel on the side, then looked at Gooden and invited.

The square dining table is not large, and it can accommodate up to seven or eight people.

However, there were only four people attending the dinner, which was quite spacious.

As for Olek's invitation, Erin and Joseph Sr. seemed a little restrained.

Seeing the tension and restraint of the two, Olek, as the king of a country, did not be domineering and wanton as usual, but said more casually.

"Tonight is a private feast, feel free, there are not so many rules, Joseph, sit down."

In this way, Joseph Sr. was able to sit down with peace of mind, and Erin sat down at Gooden's signal.

And when Olek looked at Erin, there was also some surprise in his eyes.

This little girl is not very old, but her natural strength is so amazing?

As the king of the Orrea Empire, he must reach the level of legend when he ascends the throne, and at this level and with so many years of experience, Olek can see at a glance that Erin is not ordinary.

"What is the relationship between this girl and you?"

Goodern was still thinking about what to say for the night, when Olek tossed a topic from a place he didn't expect.

After a slight pause, he immediately replied.

"She's my fiancée."

For Erin's identity, Gooden is also very attentive and treats her directly as a fiancée.

Anyway, there is no monogamous system in this world, and as long as you have the ability, polyandry is not uncommon.

When she confessed her identities before facing the Emperor, Erin was very touched and sweet in her heart.

"Her name is Erin...... Right? ”

Olek asked as he briefly recalled the name.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Although he doesn't know what he wants to do as a cheap dad, Goodern continues to maintain the most basic etiquette in the face of an emperor.

"Looks like you're in luck......"

Olek exclaimed, and before Goodern could react to what he meant, the other party looked at Erin and asked.

"Erin, are you interested in studying at Imperial College? I can find a legend to be your mentor and guide you. ”

“……？？！”

"Huh?"

After Olek's words were finished, the expressions of the three people on the field were different.

Goodern was a little speechless about the digging of the wall, and Erin was also confused by the olive branch.

Joseph Sr. was even more surprised.

"Your Majesty, thank you for your kindness, but I don't have such thoughts now, I just want to stay and serve by the young master's side."

Although Erin was a little nervous, she was not too frightened to speak, and quickly gave an answer.

"Tsk, it's a pity......"

Olek didn't say much about Erin's choice, just shook his head with a little regret.

As legends, their perception is already beyond normal people, and when they perceive a person's strength, they can also discover the potential of the other party.

Whether they can cross this hurdle or not, for the legend, they can know a little bit about it.

And Erin's talent belongs to the type that Olek has seen, which is considered a good type, and is expected to be able to reach the legendary.

He had seen hundreds of people like this in the Empire alone, but very few had been able to cross the legend in the end.

Therefore, for such a talent to be wasted, Olek just felt a pity, but he didn't care.

While the four of them were chatting, the dishes on the table were also full under the arrangement of the attendants.

"All right, you all go down, and you are not allowed to come in without my orders."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After receiving Orek's order, the seven or eight attendants retreated one after another, waiting quietly in the corridor outside the house.

At this time, Olek also looked at Gooden again.

"You have done a good job in the north, saving tens of millions of people in the north of the empire, plus the debt to you over the years, as a father, I will definitely compensate you for it both public and private."

"But I don't know what you need, what you need to need, now I can mention it casually, and I will allow it."

In the face of Olek, the other three people on the field had different faces.

Old Joseph was still very excited about the recognition of the young master of the two and His Majesty's father and son, after all, this also meant that the young master could be restored to the status of the prince, and he could also rise with the tide and rise in status.

And Erin's brain is completely down, father? Your Majesty? Master? Prince?!

The relationship here made her brain work all of a sudden.

And here in Gooden, he was not prepared for such a situation, and he didn't know what to reply to for a while.

"Your Majesty, I ......"

Before Goodern could finish his sentence, Olek interrupted.

"When there are no outsiders, you can call me father or father, I can understand that you don't want to restore your identity, but in private, I can hope that we have no estrangement, and it can be more like a father-son relationship."

"Of course, I know that you must have hatred and resentment in your heart, first after you finish your request, we will talk while eating, and I will explain all the relevant news to you."

Olek was so clear that Goodern hesitated for a moment, but nodded his head, calling out words he had never shouted before.

"Father."

Goodern was reluctant to get involved in royal affairs, which were too troublesome for him, and would take on a lot of things.

His pursuit in this world is to feel the style of another world, as well as the beauty of another world.

If there's one thing you can pursue a little more, it's to live a little longer.

And this voice of the father made Olek smile, and the corners of his eyes narrowed with a smile.

He had only a dozen children, and only five had heirs, and his favorite eldest prince was killed in battle because of the orc's calculations, which made him very angry.

Although the remaining four have good qualifications, they are still a little bit worse in all aspects.

When war broke out in the north, he noticed his son, whom he hadn't seen for more than twenty years.

Although he was curious about what happened to Goodn, after confirming that he was not promoted by contact with evil objects or forbidden powers, he became even more concerned and curious about this son.

"Father, I don't have anything I want right now, and if I ever want a reward, I want some mines."

For this request, Olek was a little confused, what is it?

After holding it for so long, you made this request?

As a war in the North, you are the best at it, and you want this thing?

"Mines? What are you looking for? If it's going to be exchanged for coins, I'll just reward it directly, is one million gold coins enough? ”

Facing the wealthy father, Gooden choked and quickly explained.

"Father, it's like this, Qingyuan Town and I can have such a rich performance, we need a lot of resources to invest in construction, and various minerals are especially needed."

Hearing such a reason, Olek nodded slightly.

"Hmm...... In this way, I will send you a map and information about the mining in the north tomorrow, and you will choose what you want, and if it is a mine in private hands, I will give you a purchase order, and the empire will pay for it. ”

As the lord of the empire, Olek waved his hand and planned all the mines of the entire empire to Goodern, allowing him to choose by himself.

The distribution of resources in the territory of the empire is still very even, with grain produced in the Fenggu Plain, mines in the north, wood in the east valley, goods and ordnance in the west, and spices and fruits in the south.

The minerals in the north account for almost 50% of the entire empire, which is a very terrifying figure, and the area of other regions together is equal to three times that of the north, but the output is only half, which shows the richness of its mining.

"Okay, let's eat something, these things can't be tasted by ordinary people, let's talk while eating."

Being able to get Gooden's acknowledgement, Olek was in a good mood and greeted the three of them.

One is a son, one is a prospective daughter-in-law, and the other is his confidant, in such a scene, some topics can be talked about more easily.

As he tasted the food, Orlek didn't forget his words and began to explain to Goodern the secrets about him and his mother.
