Chapter 0003: Little Versailles
The Limestone Mountains are located in the north of the Plantagenet Kingdom, with the Blue Danube Plain of the Macedonian Kingdom to the north and the Grayplain Mountains on the border between the two countries to the east.
To the northwest is the largest inland sea in the Rafah continent, the Mediterranean Sea.
Further northwest, is the island of the gods that every king of the Rafah continent wants to conquer. As long as he passes the test of the guardian dragon, the king will be crowned emperor by the Pope in the Great Hall of the Epiphany. Unfortunately, the Plantagenet Kingdom has not conquered the Isle of the Gods for more than 3,000 years.
If you can't conquer the island of the gods, the Plantagenet Kingdom can at least bully the Macedonian Kingdom. After years of campaigning, it has bitten a corner of the lower reaches of the blue Danube plain north of the limestone mountains.
This corner is called the Golden Danube Plain because of the "Golden Flag" that represents the Plantagenet Kingdom.
Part of the Earldom of Limestone Mountain is on the Golden Danube Plain, and the town of Red Leaves, the fief of the Aldington family, is also on the Golden Danube Plain.
From the Grey Iron Castle, Aldington and his party had to cross Versailles, the largest city in the Golden Danube Plain.
The capital of the Plantagenet Kingdom is called Versailles, and in order to show the importance of the golden Danube plain, the city is also named Versailles, and in order to distinguish it, it is called Little Versailles.
It took nearly 500 miles to reach Little Versailles.
Parker's four horses were already tired and stuck out their tongues, and the red beans under Aldington's crotch were still just slightly wheezing, and the demonic beast bloodline gave it great stamina.
Little Versailles had a wide moat and tall walls.
The golden Danube plain has no rugged terrain, and in this land of four wars, little Versailles can only continue to widen its moats and fortify its walls. Only four gates remained, and the gates were strictly checked, and city officials carefully checked the identification of every passer-by.
But no officials stopped Oldington's party.
For the ornaments of their horses, and on the shields of the one-eyed Parker, as well as on the chain mail and leather armor, were embroidered and engraved with the noble coat of arms of the Iris family.
The red maple leaves serve as the main body of the coat of arms, decorated in the shape of a shield. The foliage shield is embroidered with an abstract symbol of an irise, and on either side of the shield, a silver wolf clad in lightning is depicted. This is the iris coat of arms of the Iris family, designed by Aldington's great-grandfather himself.
It's only been passed down for three generations.
But in the area of the golden Danube plain, the entire territory of the Danube province, the iris coat of arms can pass through all cities, and this is one of the powers of the nobility.
The checkpoint officer bowed and watched as Aldington and his party entered the city.
People nearby have begun to whisper.
"That's the iris coat of arms, is Zao Hong the son of the Baron of Red Leaf Town?"
"Aldington, I remember the name."
"See his servant carrying a swallowtail flag, this future baron, is already a cadet knight."
"He's cultivated his fighting spirit!"
"The Iris family is the descendant of the Dragon Knight, isn't it right to cultivate Dou Qi."
"That young master is really handsome."
Aristocrats are always loved and hated, especially in this world of magic and vindictiveness, nobility is not only noble in status, but also powerful in strength.
The house is compact and not very well laid out.
But there's no sewage flowing and stinking like a city that's different from Aldington's imagination. At first, he thought that the world was very much like the European Middle Ages on Earth, dark and dirty. But it is clear that the existence of magic and vindictiveness has made the civilization of this world unknown.
Show another kind of prosperity, a gorgeous side that belongs to this world.
"Edward Street, well, yes here." Aldington and his party came to the square in the middle of the city, looked at the magnificent little Basilica of Versailles, and turned straight into a narrow street on the left.
He glanced back at the dense crowd of people crawling on the ground in the square, and many memories of the original owner came flooding back.
These people are doing prayers, they are tritheistic elect people, and they are offering faith to the Little Versailles Temple. The temple priest collects faith and uses it to provide for the blessed nymphs and blessed muses in the temple. As for the Nymph and the Muse, it was a magical creature that only the nobles could possess.
"Nymph, Muse...... I remember that my father even had a Valkyrie, tsk, and I don't know when I will be able to inherit it. ”
The Nymph can evolve into a muse, and the muse can evolve into a Valkyrie, and the Valkyrie, like the Phantom Beast, is the knight's most powerful combat partner.
Knights and phantom beasts can be fused with blood, and like Valkyries, they can be fused with bloodlines, giving birth to powerful bloodlines.
My mind wandered slightly, and I had arrived at 126 Edward Street.
The street is all townhouse-like three-storey buildings that belong to the residential area of the aristocracy and city officials. There are small courtyards in front of and behind the buildings, which are generally converted into stables, and horses are the main means of transportation here, which is equivalent to private cars on earth.
The sky was getting dark, and the magic street lamps on both sides of the street were already lit, and the faint yellowing light barely lit up the street.
There are drawstring bells at the entrance.
One of the guards pulled the rope, and soon a voice came from inside: "Coming, coming, please wait." With a squeak, the rusty door opened, and the old man in the manservant costume poked his head out, and when he saw Aldington, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said in surprise: "Young Master Aldington!" ”
"Butler Morris." Aldington smiled.
"Young master, please come in, I will inform Madame, and then let Moria go and invite the master back, the master has been invited to drink by His Excellency the Tax Collector. The young master has been saying hello to the young master many times, and he must be very happy to see you. "Butler Morris is very old and babbling.
When Aldington and the others entered the gate, he saw the swallowtail flag in the guard's hand, and immediately exclaimed, "Young master, you have been promoted to trainee knight?" ”
"Just yesterday."
"The three gods bless, there are successors to the Iris family, Lord Aureno and Lord Aureno will be proud of you." Butler Morris turned around and shouted, "Moria, Monica......"
"Grandpa." A pair of young manservants and maids hurried out of the building.
After seeing Aldington, the two hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Young Master Aldington." ”
"Moria, go to the Thorn Flower Tavern and ask the master to come back, and tell the lord that Young Master Aldington is here, and that Young Master Aldington has been promoted to Trainee Knight...... Monica, you feed the horses and arrange rooms for the four guards. "Butler Morris skillfully arranged his work and led Aldington into the building.
As soon as I entered the lobby of the building, I saw a little boy of seven or eight years old running over: "Aldington! ”
Behind the little boy, who had just hurried down the stairs was a fairly young woman, her hair coiled up, already dressed as a noblewoman.
"I heard the loud voice of Butler Morris, it's really Aldington, you are here, let Auntie take a look, our little iris has grown taller again, is it already one meter eight?" The lady walked up to Aldington, who was a little short, only to the height of Aldington's chest.
"One meter eighty-one, Aunt Fran." Aldington greeted with a smile, and then patted the head of the little boy who had been wrapped around him, "Osdro, don't hold my legs, you are eight and a half years old, you should learn some basic rules of the squire, stand and sit!" ”
