Chapter 336: The Royal Capital

As the night passed, the procession left the manor outside the city and marched towards the royal capital.

King Asra is the most magnificent city in the world, with a population of more than 1.8 million thanks to an abundant food supply, and a gathering of merchants, tourists and adventurers from all over the world.

The Knights of the King's Blood were stationed in the camp outside the city, with ten thousand men and an equal number of infantry legions, at least theoretically.

Near the royal capital, the towering city wall that seems to be straight into the sky stands in front, the whole body is dark, and there are several sets of independently operating earth magic arrays engraved inside, and the bricks and stones in the south of the city are impregnated with long-lasting dark red mottles, during the war between men and demons, the demons have been attacking the three kings' fortresses for a long time, so they sent a demon king to detour with a cavalry legion of men and horses, but finally collapsed in front of the stronger city wall.

Without any inspection, the debriefing procession of the former prince crossed the arches and drawbridges into the royal capital, and on the main road, the people had been isolated to both sides in advance, and at a glance, it was crowded like a human wall, and the identity and power of Shaliye were not the root cause of such a scene, since the portrait flowed out of the Golden Blood Chamber of Commerce, the good name of this highness has spread widely, and a large number of stars have been secretly tributed.

Public carriage offices, restaurants, inns, shops, and the occasional Consulate department in the period, as well as countless opera houses and circuses, and a wide variety of buildings form the streets, even the Adventurers' Guild and the Church of Millis.

The outer city is garrisoned by 50,000 royal city garrisons, maintaining order and arresting criminals is their usual job, and many of them are the children of middle and low-level court nobles, after hundreds of years of inheritance, the actual number of court nobles has exceeded the imagination of ordinary people.

Led by the ceremonial officer, the group went straight through the outer city and arrived at the inner city gate, where there was still a city wall to distinguish ranks, and the total number of Asra guards guarding the inner city was only 10,000, but it was undoubtedly elite.

The major academies of the royal capital continue to send talents to it, and only some of the lower-level swordsmen with combat experience can become ordinary soldiers, usually mainly middle-level swordsmen, and high-level swordsmen can serve as officers, and the ten guards are all skilled sword masters, and the king's guards are the embodiment of the essence of the entire kingdom.

At the gate of the inner city, the second princess Ariel has been waiting for a long time, her bright blonde hair is very dazzling in the sun, she is wearing the uniform of the Royal Capital Knight Academy, and her graceful long legs are covered with white pantyhose, this color that is quite easy to stain symbolizes the strength of the knight to some extent, so it is more and more sought after by powerful students.

"Uncle, long time no see."

The two guardian knights next to him saluted together, namely Luke, the second son of the superior nobleman's family, and Dilik, the superior magician, who was the final winner of last year's big competition at the Royal Capital Magician Academy, both of whom were only about twenty years old, and were widely known as geniuses in the royal capital.

"I should have a home." Jiang Yuan said.

"Back to Your Highness, the Marquis and above will be assigned standard villas in the inner city, you are the prince, and there is a manor near the Silver Palace, and the specific choice of accommodation depends on your heart." Dilik elaborates.

"Uncle, your debriefing is scheduled for tomorrow morning, when my father will hold a royal court meeting, if there is no accident, please do not be absent." Ariel reminded that there were other big things to happen, and King Asra was in an uncertain mood at that time, so it was best not to give people a handle to attack.

"Got it."

The ceremonial officer left the team to contact the relevant departments, and Ariel accompanied Jiang Yuan to the manor, where there were many fewer pedestrians than in the outer city, and the eastern area was densely built and was the center of the kingdom's government affairs, and the western area was an important residential area.

A wide avenue stretched from the south gate of the inner city to the palace of the Silver Palace, and at the middle of the crossroads there was a high platform made of magic steel, on which was inserted a magnificent long sword, the body of which was full of cracks, and only half of the black gem at the end of the sword shimmered with fluorescence.

Jiang Yuan stopped, and the convoy behind him also stopped.

Ariel looked puzzled, but didn't ask out loud.

In front of him is the holy sword, ranked first among the ten blades in the world, this weapon representing the power of the brave has shown its brilliance in the war between man and demon, St. Miris once held it to cut through the great forest with a sword, opening up the famous holy sword avenue, and destroying several demon legions in one fell swoop, at the cost of the holy sword on the verge of shattering and the extinction of the three holy knights used by the front line to fight for time to accumulate energy.

And after that, St. Miris also died soon after, in order to commemorate his sacrifice, there is now the name of the Holy Kingdom of Miris, in the second half of the war between humans and demons, the Holy Kingdom and Asra as the only two remaining human kingdom alliance, this Brave Sword that has lost its strength and glory has become a token.

It is rumored that the ten blades in the world are all spiritual weapons.

"Uncle can give it a try, in case he pulls out the title of the brave, it is still a little useful." Alice said that anyone could try it, and there was nothing wrong with it, but after hundreds of years, people's initial enthusiasm had long since dissipated, and now only freshmen who had just entered the knight academy were willing to come here.

"Let's go."

Jiang Yuan was noncommittal, turned around and instigated his horse to the right of the crossroads, Ariel whipped to follow, and the convoy slowly accelerated.

Ten minutes later, the group arrived at the manor, and the housekeeper who was responsible for maintaining it went out with the servants to greet them, but they were all expelled by Shengyi, and the whole process was smooth, rather than bothering to distinguish who was an undercover agent, it was better to drive them all away.

Ariel was speechless, but this was the freedom of the owner of the manor, and the Minister of Honor would not say anything.

The carriage opened, Xia Mi rubbed her eyes and walked down, she had just woken up, she slept too late last night, and without her daughter by her side, she had a rare fun with someone.

Mie coldly saluted Ariel and her guardian knight, the princess was so charismatic that she was wary of this guy because of her charisma that made her a beauty rarely seen in the world, and she was so charming at the age of fourteen or fifteen.

The Iron Guard took over the defense, and several people entered the mansion, a total of three floors, the master bedroom was on the top floor, the environment of the hall was very bright, the portraits of the three heroes, the first king, and the king of Asra hung on the wall, the orange flames in the fireplace extinguished the late autumn cold, the screens were exquisite, and the bookshelves that dotted the corners were full of reference books, which was also a good decoration considering the preciousness of books.

The long table in the middle is covered with a white silk cloth, two rows of gilded candlesticks flicker in the daytime, glass bottles from Tumiit hold flowers from the royal garden, and wooden baskets exude the fresh aroma of seasonal fruits and vegetables.

Several people took their seats one after another, and the two guardian knights and Lokishi stood, and a slightly boring small talk began, according to etiquette, the Tumiit family should leave the greeter for at least one lunch.
