Chapter 282: Ilrod
The imperial capital of the Coltfi Empire, the city of Bistan
Today, the country's most prosperous imperial capital is much more noisy than usual in Biqi, and everywhere is filled with a sense of festivities, not because the New Year is approaching, but because of the noble coming-of-age ceremony three days later.
It is a tradition in the entire Anolan continent, to gather all the new nobles who have grown up throughout the winter to have a coming-of-age ceremony, in the general form of expressing allegiance and respect for the country, for each family, it means that a family has new people to participate in political affairs, but the fundamental meaning, that is, land, obtaining a land is an increase in the family's industry.
During this period, the Emperor's orders had already begun to be intensely arranged, especially in the Palace Square, which was the main venue at that time, where the Emperor would listen to the allegiance of all the new nobles and canonize them.
"Three days left, huh...... It's been a long time. I said to myself with some excitement, the prosperity outside the whole window is also very touching, from the Duke's Palace I can see the palace square, that magnificent scene I have not seen before today.
This morning, Ivanine and I landed in the forest outside the imperial capital, and immediately entered the city, in the imperial capital I have no relatives and no reason, so naturally I directly found the Meda family, Hilmy's family, Hilmy, they have already arrived, a brief explanation of the natural knowledge of who I am, they very warmly invited me in, arranged a place for me to live.
"Three days was like a blink of an eye for me. "Ivani stood behind me and helped comb my hair, because the waitresses I usually brought with me were all left by Hilmi and the others in the province of Kalka and thrown together with the wounded soldiers, and she only brought back the most effective 1,000 people, and only Ivani was the only one who could help me.
"You blink one and show me. "I said angrily that although dragons have a long lifespan, much longer than humans, it is not enough to say that three days have passed in the blink of an eye.
"That's just a metaphor. "For the first time, I've experienced what you call honor and disgrace. β
"Huh, what do you say?"
"I, as a noble dragon, am helping you comb your hair. β
"......" I patted my forehead silently, although I wanted to complain but what she said was not wrong, I usually say the same, as a nobleman, how about I, is it because I have learned badly...... No, it's not okay to be a nobleman without honor and disgrace! It's the same with a dragon!
"This one...... It's not a shame to help me comb my hair! I'm a nobleman!"
"I am a noble dragon. β
"I am the noble Count of the Empire!
"I am the noble Dragon Emperor, the future. β
"......" As the Silver Dragon Princess, Evanine, she is indeed qualified to become the Dragon Emperor......
After a while, I finally changed my clothes, and after tidying up, I slowly regained my aristocratic posture.
"How?"
"I can't make an assessment of the beauty of human beings. Yverine said and looked at me a little closely, "It should be fine, it feels like something has changed." β
"Of course!" I laughed and stood up, this room is not small, the decoration is very beautiful, the bed and sofa are very soft to the touch, I can probably sleep well tonight, but now I don't want to stay in this small room and wait for the coming-of-age ceremony in three days, "Let's go out for a walk, it's too boring to stay in this room." β
"Do you want to call someone else?"
"Call Atwood. "I said casually, because the other companions are also very busy now, because of the status of the Duke's Mansion can only entertain me, so they are all with the army in a nearby training ground, among which there is nothing to say at the moment is Atwood and Tank, the tank guy is too big, I can only choose the former, and the Atwood of the Magister level has one more guarantee with him.
Quietly leaving the Duke's Palace, Yverine and I went to the two performances together, and I briefly explained to a few of my friends, and soon Atwood also appeared in my sight, and then we headed towards the center of the imperial capital, which was the most prosperous place for business, and it was also suitable for us to hang out.
Originally, I heard that we were going for a walk, and my partners rushed to ask me to take them with me, especially Larryvi, who couldn't settle down at all, but in the end I was strictly asked to do their own thing, Larry Levy is my important intelligence force, she can't leave her job at this time, maybe she is slowly complaining now.
And now for the quiet Ewinni, Atwood is much more talkative, especially when it comes to the imperial capital, he is always like a nobleman as an elf, whether it is temperament or beauty, he is above me, and he is not short of nobles, obviously 500 years ago, this king still had a deal with human nobles.
"Atwood, were you familiar with this country five hundred years ago?" I gestured to the city of Bistan in front of me.
"Familiar. Atwood slowly raised his head, his eyes clouded a little, "I was familiar five hundred years ago, but now I am not familiar, and I have changed too much." β
"Was there a city of Bistan at that time?" I seem to remember reading in the book that it only said that the city of Bistan has existed since it was opened, and that the Elman family was already emperors at that time, and until now Matthew Arman, the Ehrman royal family has always ruled the country, and it is said that the country has not changed its imperial capital for five hundred years, which is a very rare thing in various countries.
"Yes, but maybe it's not what you hear. β
"Huh, what do you mean?"
"Tell me what you know, who was the ruler five hundred years ago?"
"It seems to be ......," I quickly searched my memory, and soon found the name as well, "Ilrod Elman!"
"Sure enough......" Atwood's reaction was somewhat unexpected, and his eyes were full of sadness.
"What's wrong?"
"Do you know what kind of man Ilrod is?" asked Atwood again, and I told him what I had heard.
"A young boy who is less than fifteen years old, no more than one meter six tall, does rule the entire Coltfee Empire. "This is undoubtedly a very surprising thing, if it is really in my world, I am afraid that I am still in junior high school at the age of fifteen, sitting in the classroom and sleeping in a daze or something.
"Huh. Atwood laughed back.
"What? isn't it?"
"No, you're right. Atwood shook his head and said, "To the outside, that's true. Ilrod Ehrman: He was a deceitful lie from the beginning. β
"What do you mean by a lie?" I wouldn't be surprised, after all, it's been 500 years, and who can know what was going on now, and the news is more or less a patchwork of stories.
"First, the name Ilrod is a lie. β
"What!"
"Yes, and second, he's a girl, not a boy. "If it was a surprise before, now the news is shocking!
"Third. As if he already knew I would be shocked, Atwood continued, "She is not fifteen years old, to be precise, she was twenty years old when she informed the Coltfi Empire, but she thought that as a woman she was already shorter than a man, so it was rumored that she was only fifteen years old, and she was a developing boy. β
Compared with the previous news, maybe because I already know that she is a girl, it is not so surprising, but this person is indeed a very surprising figure, since the emperor of this country is a queen, this is a very admirable woman in a feudal and backward world, it is not that there are no women in the political arena in this world, but it is absolutely impossible for a woman to be mixed with the identity of the emperor.
"Her name is Ilroline Ellman, and before she founded the Coltfee Empire, she had a surviving brother named Ilrod Ellman, and they were all friends I had known for a long time, and when they were very young, I once met them in the forest. β
"At that time, Ilroline was still very timid, always protected by her brother Ilrod, but what is very special is that this brother and sister are not afraid to see me, at that time the status of human beings you know, generally lower than many aliens now, they saw me, but very boldly looked at me, and talked to me, which made me who had not been in contact with humans usually I was also very curious, and soon we talked, and talked very harmoniously, whenever we had the opportunity we always got together, and later acted together, hunting together, at that time the three of us were best friendsγ Atwood said with a wistful look in his eyes, he was looking forward to the time that had passed.
"And then?"
"Later......" Atwood's eyes darkened for a moment, and I almost knew that maybe Ilrod was no longer alive......
"You know, at that time I was a foreigner, playing with a group of humans, and the people of the clan did not agree, and drove away their siblings and forbade me to see them, which was very painful for me at that time. Atwood shook his head and said.
"Do you like Ilrowin, that girl?" looked at his expression, there was a bit of endless sorrow in his eyes, and I thought, maybe it was lovesickness.
"Hmm......" Atwood nodded hesitantly, "the separation was painful for me, so I practiced my magic, and later mastered melee magic with the help of a man. β
"Don Adolphus?"
"How so...... It's Don Adolf, not Don Adolphus. β
