Arak didn't answer, but lowered his head again, and continued to pack up the various medicinal herbs that were left over from the previous use.

In this regard, Calero Robert did not care, but turned to a forger and ordered:

"Prepare a clean room for me, I'll stay here tonight."

The blacksmith looked puzzled, as if he didn't understand why this genius magician, who had always enjoyed a high reputation in the imperial capital, suddenly visited Blacksmith Town today.

Calero explains:

"Takizawa said in the letter that he was injured and that he was fine, but the archbishop was still relieved, so he asked me to come to this blacksmith town to pick him up.

But now it seems that Takizawa really can't successfully complete the escort task. ”

The blacksmith immediately understood, and hurriedly went to prepare the house.

Calero looked at Arak again, then turned to leave. He didn't look at Ace the whole time.

Ace didn't have the slightest dissatisfaction with this, after all, he really hadn't grown enough to make him pay attention to it.

Moreover, he has slowly learned to forbear, especially now that dark magic is forbidden.

Early the next morning, the three of them continued to set off towards the imperial capital, escorted by Calero and several knights who were slightly injured.

Due to the serious injuries of the knight of Takizawa, he temporarily stayed in Blacksmith Town to recuperate.

Along the way, Ace asks Arak questions about various alchemy knowledge, while Hasar-Sinrija has been around Calero Robert, always stating his admiration and admiration for the other party.

You must know that today's Robert family has a pivotal position in the New Delhi Empire.

If he can make friends with this young magician of the Robert family, it will definitely be of great benefit to his own study in Sun City.

In this regard, Ace just watched coldly, and expressed even more disgust and contempt for Hasa's style.

What will happen to a guy who only knows how to slap horses and flatter in the future?

In fact, Blacksmith Town is not too far from the imperial capital, so it only took half a day for the group to reach the most prosperous and magnificent city in the Mandala Continent - Lieyang City!

Looking at the spectacular scene in front of him, even if he was as calm and steady as Arak, he couldn't help but let out bursts of admiration at this time.

I saw that on the majestic mountain, a magnificent and huge capital city was built in it, and the buildings in the city showed irregular ups and downs with the direction of the mountain.

The city was surrounded by a towering black wall, on which there was a huge pillbox every 100 meters or so.

Countless guards in armor are standing on it at this time, guarding the greatest capital city on the Mandala continent.

Looking inside, you can see various castles and churches from time to time, as well as a towering bell tower.

In the deepest and highest part of the imperial capital, a snow-white church stands out, like a holy snowflake on top of a colorful painting.

Come to think of it, it's the legendary Cathedral of the Light.

Looking at the northwest corner of the city, in front of a huge platform, dozens of airships come and go, there are constantly unloading goods, and many goods are packed, a busy and prosperous scene.

Ace had seen a record in the book that this kind of airship was used to load goods and shuttle back and forth between cities on the continent in normal times.

But once in time of war, these airships were able to carry war materials, weapons, and soldiers who fought in battle.

Seeing the three children's varying degrees of amazement, Calero couldn't help but sneer: "It's really a group of turtles who have never seen the world." ”

But he didn't know that anyone who saw Sun City for the first time would be shocked by its majestic momentum.

And Calero Robert, because he has lived here since he was a child, naturally does not feel much.

Soon, the group arrived at a trading town at the foot of the mountains of the imperial capital, where there was a stable specially set up for people entering the city, and for only two gold coins, it would help you get a month's worth of horses.

Of course, some of the more special mounts, such as Calero's goshawk, which was bought at a great price, cost much more to take care of, usually requiring five or six gold coins.

Due to the clear laws of Sun City, no mounts are allowed to be used for riding in the city, except for the military horses and the royal mounts.

Only horses are allowed to haul goods, so business has always been good in this stable outside the city.

As soon as the group reached the stable, an enthusiastic groom hurried over:

"Ouch, Master Robert is back, is the road going well?"

Calero nodded blankly, and then handed the groom six shiny gold coins.

The groom immediately smiled and took the gold coin, and then slowly led the black goshawk to a more spacious and tidy private room with great skill.

Ace and his party walked through the trading town towards the gates of Sun City.

When I came to the gate and looked up, I saw that the city gate was about thirty meters high and more than twenty meters wide, and there were dozens of giant wind-breaking crossbows above the city gate, which were several times larger than those seen in Blacksmith Town.

Nearly a hundred guards in well-dressed battle armor stood neatly on both sides of the city gate at this time, and if anyone dared to make trouble at the gate of the imperial capital, they would be subdued in an instant.

Further inside, at the entrance of the city gate, there is a golden statue dozens of meters high on the left and right.

On one side was a valiant warrior with a sword in front of him;

The other was a male mage wearing a robe and holding a staff.

Ace had also heard of the two men, the warrior who was the founding general of the New Delhi Empire, named Ulla Rolle;

And that male mage is a famous water archmage in the history of the empire, named Alice Locke.

Although Ace had never seen these two great heroes in the history of the New Delhi Empire, he could still feel an invincible momentum from the expressions and movements of their statues.

The prosecutor guarding the city, when he saw Calero's originally tense face, couldn't help but show a few flattering smiles:

"Master Robert, you're back!"

And Robert was also extremely generous, and casually gave the prosecutor three gold coins: "Take it and buy a few good drinks." ”

You know, for the average family in the New Delhi Empire, a gold coin is basically enough to cover a month's expenses.

Calero gave three gold coins so generously, and the prosecutor was naturally happy.

With a nobleman of such a prominent status as Robert opening the way, the group passed through the gate with great ease and entered the city of the scorching sun.

As soon as he entered the city, Ace smelled countless strong fragrances. There is the fragrance of a flower shop not far away, the smell of barbecue sold on the roadside, and the most attractive wine.

Ace couldn't help but take a deep breath of the enchanting taste.

Since he began to practice dark spells, Ace's senses have become more and more acute, and even in the middle of noisy cities, he can still distinguish the different sources of various sounds very clearly.

For example, the sound of bargaining in the shop, the sound of the blacksmith shop tapping metal in the distance, and the whispered laughter of several young girls staring at Calero in the distance.
