At this time, it was noon, and the dazzling sun was above the sky, and from a distance, a Xuanwei awe-inspiring city wall was on the south bank of the Lancang Canal.

The tall and majestic city wall made of cyan boulders is like a long dragon, which is extremely majestic and domineering. The closer to the imperial capital, the wider the river becomes, and the endless stream of boats on the river surface is like a carp crossing the river, sail films, Chen Daolin seems to be almost in a trance, almost mistaking this inland city for a harbor city.

This kind of prosperous weather, even if it is the port of Hillock Island, the capital of Newhoven in the East China Sea, is a little inferior!

Most of the merchant ships anchored at the riverside wharf outside the city. The Lancang Canal has a tributary, but it forks from the main river channel and is directly inserted into the imperial capital.

A city gate on the water towered over the river, the gate was wide, with iron fences hanging from it, and patrolling boats on both sides. The tall and mighty city guards patrolled back and forth, and the city towers were lined with awe-inspiring ballistas.

On both sides of the tower, along the city wall, every 100 meters, there is a tall tower, the height is staggered, forming an almost perfect fortification.

Chen Daolin was dazzled and admired this giant building in the Cold Weapon Age from the bottom of his heart. It is conceivable that in this era, what kind of manpower and financial resources were invested in creating such a convincing city defense, and the strength of an empire can be fully demonstrated from the walls of this imperial capital!

"The city defense of the imperial capital is the most perfect fortification in the world. Paning stood beside Chen Daolin, as if he had expected Chen Daolin's surprise and emotion, smiled lightly, and said slowly: "The giant city of the imperial capital was built a thousand years ago, and when the Roland Empire was founded, this giant city was built at any cost. This water gate you see. It's just the smallest of the Imperial Capital gates. ”

"The smallest one?" Chen Daolin glared.

"Of course!" Panin said slowly, "There are a total of nine gates in the imperial capital, and there are six hundred and sixty-three towers, one hundred and thirty arrow towers, and thousands of ballistas. and ......" said of which. He glanced at Chen Daolin and laughed in a low voice, "I want to come to this thing." Darling Mage should be familiar with it: the Magic Cannon. ”

"Magic Cannon?" Chen Daolin's eyes lit up.

In this world of cold weapons, the magic cannon is undoubtedly the sharpest and most powerful weapon in the military array!

"Those magic cannons are left over from the founding era of the country, and today's manufacturing drawings have long been lost, and future generations will not be able to create them again. However, there are still more than 160 left. These magic cannons are fired with magical power, and the sound is like thunder, and the power is amazing...... Unfortunately, I haven't seen it with my own eyes. It was only when I was studying at a military academy that I read about it in the literature. The city defense magic guide cannon in the imperial capital is never allowed to be used on weekdays, and it is ...... Even if you want to use it. I can't open it either. ”

"Why?" Chen Daolin said curiously.

Panin smiled slightly.

At this moment, the boat slowly drove under the water gate, and the defending troops on patrol saw the flag of the Rollin family, so they naturally let it go - the patriarch of the Rollin family, Count Berion, was the current emperor and minister, and the ship of his family. How will the defenders stop it?

The ship entered the city gate and came to the inner dock of the port area of the imperial capital.

Panin stood at the bow of the boat, pointed to the sky in the distance, and said with a smile: "The reason, nature is there!"

Looking into the distance, in the distance of the imperial capital, there are two towers standing there, one on the left and one on the right, echoing each other from afar.

Slightly shorter, it was a round tower, with cyan boulders piled up and simple in shape, Chen Daolin looked at it, and faintly felt that there was a powerful magic fluctuation around the tower.

"That cyan tower is the headquarters of the Magic Guild. The elders of the Magic Guild all live on top of the tower, and the tower is guarded by a magic array, and the birds are sad in the sky above the tower! Any person or object that dares to fly over the headquarters of the Magic Guild will be bombarded down by the magic array. ”

Panin smiled, "This is also a privilege granted by the Empire to the Magic Guild. ”

Chen Daolin nodded.

That's a privilege indeed!

In any country, air supremacy is owned by the state, where can other organizations be allowed to get involved? The empire actually handed over the air supremacy of this area above the imperial capital to the Magic Guild, this is not a privilege, so what is a privilege?

Thinking of this, Chen Daolin looked away and looked at another tower......

The tower, made of white boulders, was nearly twice as tall as the Magic Tower at the headquarters of the Magic Guild!

Chen Daolin has not seen high-rise buildings, in the real world, he has seen many world-famous high-rise buildings, such as the Jin Mao Tower in the Great Magic City and so on.

In terms of height, this white tower is naturally inferior to those skyscrapers in the real world.

With the world's technological level and civilization, it is enough to marvel at the construction of a building of this height!

"That'...... It's the legendary 'White Tower'!"

Chen Daolin couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

......

White Tower!

This is a name with a very special meaning in the Roland Empire!!

At the time of the Rollin family, the castle of the Rollin family also had a tall tower, which belonged to Semele's stargazing tower, which was also called the White Tower because it was built of white stone - but that was just the name of the Rollin family themselves.

And the real "White Tower", which is recognized by the people of the entire Roland Empire and praised by the world, is the one in front of Chen Daolin at this moment!

The exact location of this white pagoda is the center of the imperial palace in the imperial capital!

This white pagoda was built thousands of years ago during the founding period of the People's Republic of China, and the founding emperor presided over the construction, and the financial and human resources invested are almost a frightening number!

It's a magic tower!

When the founding emperor built this white tower, he left a powerful magic array under the palace, and this white tower is the hub of the magic array.

At the top of the White Tower, a horseshoe-shaped metal pedestal, said to be made of the hardest black iron stone, with a large amount of precious Mithril added to it to keep its magic attached to it, and at the top of the tower is a piece of magic crystal recognized as the largest in the world, three meters high. Weighs more than a ton!

Only such a huge magic crystal can meet such a huge magic array!

Once there is a war, as long as the magic hub of the White Tower is opened in the palace, this huge magic array will be launched immediately.

It's a powerful one. A magic array that gathers offense and defense. After the formation is activated. Powerful defensive magic will envelop the entire imperial capital!

Because at the time of construction. On the walls of the imperial capital, those large and small towers are the components of the entire magic array, and they are the fulcrum of the magic array. Once the hub of the White Tower. When the magic array is running, it will trigger the echo of the hundreds of towers on the city wall, and there will be a huge defensive formation that will completely envelop the entire imperial capital.

What's even more amazing is that the defense of this magic array is strong, and the attack power is not inferior in the slightest!

Relying on the activation of the magic array, the magic guide cannon on the city defense can get enough magic power and become a powerful firepower point on the city tower!!

Arguably. Once this magic array is activated, the entire imperial capital will immediately become a powerful fortress that will make all the attackers despair!

"When I was studying in the Imperial Affairs Academy, I learned various offensive and defensive strategies, and the subjects in the academy also taught us countless times to use the imperial capital as a hypothetical example for offensive and defensive deduction. Panin also looked at the White Tower from afar. Said slowly: "There are four acropolis around the imperial capital, occupying the main road from south to north, if you want to attack the imperial capital, you must first uproot the four acropolis." The Acropolis was built according to the standards of a permanent military fortress, and its defensive strength was not to be taken lightly. The Royal Guards Legion is recognized as the most elite and best-equipped army in the Empire. The four acropolises, together with the perfect defense of the imperial capital, formed an extremely complete defense system. With tens of thousands of elite royal city guards, as well as the royal forest army, the security forces in the city, and the large and small private guards of the wealthy nobles in the city, the imperial capital can mobilize more than 100,000 troops in the event of war. With 100,000 elite troops, coupled with such a complete city defense system, it is enough to give all the attackers a headache.

The magic array of the White Tower is the core of the imperial capital's defense force, and it is also the most powerful link. Once the magic circle is activated...... When the Founding Emperor first built this magic array, it was built to an astonishing standard. The defense of this magic array is so strong that I am afraid that people will not believe it when they say it -- the Founding Emperor once said that even a saint-rank powerhouse would never be able to break through the defense of this magic array! Of course, for thousands of years, no saint-rank powerhouse has ever challenged this magic array. But I still choose to believe the words of the Founding Emperor - that Majesty is recognized as the strongest person in the world, and even he said so, the defensive power of this magic array should be absolutely trustworthy.

It has a complete defense system, is guarded by a powerful magic array that is the best in the world, and has a magic cannon supplemented by magic as a means of counterattack...... Such a huge city, when we deduced it in the military academy, we all thought that it was almost an impossible task to conquer this city!

Even if I am given a million male soldiers, I am not sure to break this heroic city!"

When Chen Daolin heard this, he suddenly said, "I've always been curious about a question. ”

"What?"

"Although it is the first time I have come to the imperial capital, I have also seen a lot of legends about this White Tower Magic Array in books. Chen Daolin smiled and said, "This legendary 'strongest magic array' has been built since it was built more than a thousand years ago, but it has never been used once, right?"

Panin glanced at Chen Daolin strangely, seemed to frown, and then he looked left and right, and said slowly: "Mr. Darling, although magicians enjoy some privileges in the empire, you better understand that some things are not allowed to be said casually. ”

"Isn't this true?" Chen Daolin pouted: "I've read the literature and historical materials, this so-called most powerful magic array has never really come in handy. And the founding emperor of the Roland Empire, when he built this white tower, the empire had already unified the entire continent, and as far as the eye could see, the empire no longer had any opponents. Isn't it incomprehensible to spend national strength to build such the 'most powerful magic array' without any opponents? Not only that, the emperors of the empire must follow the ancestral teachings and invest a lot of financial resources to maintain and repair this white pagoda and magic array, which has continued for thousands of years. Such an approach ......"

Panin was silent for a while, and then said in a low voice: "This involves the secrets of the royal family, where can others know?"

He shook his head and said, "Such a powerful magic array. It's true that it's never really used. I, the Roland Empire, sit on the entire continent, and as far as the eye can see, there is no rival against the country, and those alien races in the steppe are just nomadic bandits. It can't be the climate. The natives of the South Seas are fishermen who can only row small boats and bend their knees to beg for mercy...... And in the several civil strife of the empire, this magic array has not come in handy. ”

Speaking of which. He seemed to pause deliberately, then looked left and right, and then lowered his voice and said, "This question, more than a hundred years ago. Indeed, it has always bothered all historians and scholars, and no one knows why the founding emperor made such a huge but unusable magic array. But until more than 100 years ago......"

Chen Daolin's expression also became weird, he smiled in a low voice, and stretched out his finger to point north: "You mean, they?"

"Not bad. ”

Panin's voice was low, and he smiled bitterly: "The empire was founded for a thousand years. In the past thousand years, there had never been a strong enemy, so this 'strongest magic array' has always been criticized as a useless ornament, especially since every emperor has to spend a huge amount of financial resources to repair it, which has naturally been criticized a lot. But more than 100 years ago. The aliens suddenly came in from the north of the frozen forest. Since then, there have been no more voices criticizing the Imperial Capital White Tower's magic array. ”

Chen Daolin laughed, but then he frowned again: "Could it be ...... The founding emperor a thousand years ago, he had long expected that there would be a foreign race in the future, so he built this magic array a thousand years ago?"

"This ...... Only God knows. Panin spread out his hand and said with a wry smile: "The founding emperor of the country is a generation of strong men, maybe he can really peek into the heavens and leave some magical prophecies." However, after those alien races came in, the White Tower Magic Array in the imperial capital was no longer criticized. Especially in the most tense years of the war, some people even took the initiative to ask the royal family to repair the magic array. ”

"Hmm...... But even so, the orcs have never really hit the imperial capital. Chen Daolin shook his head.

"If there is no Duke Tulip who is born, who dares to guarantee that those orcs will not drink the Lancang River? You know, in the wars of the past years, the fortresses in the north were once attacked by those alien races, if it wasn't for the Duke Tulip to turn the tide, I am afraid that the scene of those orcs drinking the Lancang River will really appear in the history books. ”

When Chen Daolin heard this, his heart suddenly moved, and he looked back at the wide Lancang Grand Canal...... On both sides of the river, the scene is prosperous......

For a while, he didn't know where the strange idea came from, Chen Daolin said casually: "That founding emperor, if it was really because of the prophecy that there would be an alien invasion in a thousand years, he built this White Pagoda Magic Array-then, I don't know if in his prophecy, did he see the day when these aliens drank the Lancang River?"

When these words were spoken, Panin's face suddenly changed slightly!

Glancing at Chen Daolin deeply, Paning's eyes contracted, he took a deep breath, looked at the riverside, and suddenly raised his head and shouted: "If there really are those filthy alien races drinking the Lancang River...... That's the shame of every soldier in my Roland Empire!!I, Panin, will never let this happen in my lifetime!"

This is said categorically, and the tone is full of strong confidence.

But Chen Daolin was quite surprised, he didn't expect this Paning to be so arrogant. Although this person is not at odds with himself, he obviously attaches great importance to his military identity.

Although Chen Daolin sighed in his heart, he couldn't help but faintly feel a trace of worry......

If the founding emperor of a thousand years ago really had the ability to prophecy and built such a white tower magic array, then ...... If you didn't really foresee the day when alien soldiers would come to the city, why did you spend so much effort to build this magic array?

'M afraid......

Thinking of this, he slowly shook his head.

......

The ship finally docked. This port is the private wharf of the major wealthy families of the imperial capital. The Rollin's dock occupies an excellent location, and after the fleet is moored, the sailors on board are naturally busy.

Chen Daolin and the others stayed on the ship for many days, and finally arrived at their destination at this moment, and they couldn't wait to get off the ship.

Although Lucius looked a little depressed, he still insisted on staying by Jill's side. Although this young lady of the Rollin family still has such a light attitude towards Lucius, it seems that because of Chen Daolin, her attitude is a little less stiff and cold, and she even said a few words to Lucius with a pleasant face.

Panin had left as soon as the ship had just docked, and he disembarked with his own servants and elders. Before leaving, he just nodded to Chen Daolin from afar, even if it was a greeting.

Chen Daolin watched this guy go away, and a strange feeling was born in his heart: he was in this imperial capital. I'm afraid I'll have to deal with this guy in the future.

But the people around me are quite strange. Especially Captain Hook, who stood by Chen Daolin's side. frowned and said, "Master Darling, when did you actually speculate with this guy like this?"

Chen Daolin smiled faintly: "Who said that I speculated with him? Although this person ...... Well, forget it, don't talk about it. ”

He shook his head. subconsciously glanced at Barossa, but found that Barossa was also looking at herself in a daze.

The elf girl's expression was a little nervous, and she quietly snuggled up to Chen Daolin's side. Chen Daolin's heart suddenly moved, remembering Panning's warning to him today, he reached out to hold Barossa's hand, and said softly in a deep voice: "What's wrong? Are you nervous?"

"Here...... It's the imperial capital, the largest city of your human race. I've heard about this place...... It's dangerous. Barossa's face flushed slightly.

"Haha!" Chen Daolin laughed loudly. Holding Barossa's hand, he pulled the elf girl into his arms, and then put his arm around her slender waist and looked at the bustling world below the ship.

"Don't worry. With me, I will always protect you well!"

......

After the servants were ready, Chen Daolin and the others left the ship and came to the dock.

The servants went to prepare the carriage and horses, and Chen Daolin was there to accompany Barossa to look at the bustling scenery on the dock and point.

The wolf warrior Chuck and Captain Hook followed by - both of them were burly warriors, especially the wolf warrior Chuck, an orc standing on the dock of the imperial capital, which was naturally extremely eye-catching.

What's more, Chuck is wearing armor, wearing a long knife, and has a bad aura - although orcs are not uncommon in the imperial capital, most of the orcs seen by the people in the imperial capital are beastfighters with shackles in the arena, where have you ever seen this kind of fully armed standing in front of the public?

That is, Chen Daolin and others looked like a wealthy family, so no one dared to step forward.

The security soldiers on the dock had also surrounded them, and they were stopped by the servants from a distance, and after reading the papers, they finally breathed a sigh of relief and left.

Chen Daolin glanced at Chuck and found that this wolf warrior had a cold and calm expression - probably he was used to this kind of scene of being watched and pointed at in the casino gladiatorial arena of Freeport.

When the carriage was ready, everyone was about to board the car and go to the Fritz family's mansion in the city, but at this time, suddenly the steward of the governor's house came to report to his young master with a sweaty head.

Lucius listened to the words of his housekeeper, and his face couldn't help but show a strange look, his eyes widened and he looked at Chen Daolin, opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

"What's going on?" Chen Daolin frowned.

The steward nodded to Chen Daolin again and again, and smiled all over his face: "Master Master...... That one...... That one...... Someone is waiting at the dock to greet you, and when they know that our ship is docked, they come to say that they must see you. ”

"Meet me at the dock?" Chen Daolin was stunned: "This is strange, I don't have any acquaintances in the imperial capital." ”

Well, that's not necessarily true. In fact, his acquaintances in the imperial capital are not nothing. Not to mention anything else, the duchess of the Tulip family is one of the few people she has the best friendship with in this Roland Empire.

But...... It seems that the first-class female magnate of the empire will not come to the dock to pick me up, right?

"Is it from the Tulip family?" asked Chen Daolin.

"No, it's not. The steward looked a little strange, looking at Chen Daolin, his eyes were full of curiosity: "Yes...... Liszt's. ”

"The Liszt family?"

At this time, Chen Daolin was also at a loss.

"Yes, they said that they had received the news, Master Mage, you and my young master came to the imperial capital together, so they sent people to inquire about our itinerary every day, and knew that we arrived in the next two days, so they sent people to guard the dock every day......"

Although it was strange in his heart, it was just a member of the Liszt family, and Chen Daolin couldn't refuse - he thought to himself, could it be that the little chick of Rodelle knew that I came to the imperial capital and sent someone to receive me here?

Just thinking about it, the steward had already brought people in.

This pomp is not small!

At the forefront was an old man in a straight dress, full of gray hair, with a very generous demeanor, and at first glance he was from a wealthy family. He was followed by several servants, with respectful and cautious expressions, carrying all kinds of boxes and trays and the like, and arranging all kinds of ornaments, clothes, and other objects. There are also a few fierce and elite guards wearing leather armor in the back!

Such a group of people came to Chen Daolin, and the old man in fancy clothes glanced at Chen Daolin fixedly, then solemnly saluted, took a step back, bowed and said steadily: "This must be Master Darling?"

"Well, I am. You are ......."

"I'm the steward of the Liszt family in the Imperial Mansion, Lord Darling, just call me Frey. I am on the order of the patriarch of the family, and I am here to welcome you. The steward named Frey looked respectful, and his demeanor was deliberately polite: "The lord wrote to say that you are going to arrive in the imperial capital in the near future, so I told me to arrange your aunt's accommodation in the imperial capital." I sent someone to inquire early, and my uncle was the son-in-law of the Fritz governor's family, and I thought that he originally planned to live in the Fritz house...... Although my Liszt family does not have any official residence in the imperial capital, it is still a little thin-faced, you are our aunt, you have come to the imperial capital, you do not live in your own house, if you live in the house of the Fritz governor, I am afraid that if it spreads, it will make people laugh, I am afraid that even Miss Laudel will be disgraced. ”

As he spoke, Frey bowed deeply again: "The house has been cleaned, I have prepared the carriage and horses, uncle, are you going back to the house with me now?"

“..................”

This Frey spoke very quickly, and when he said something, Chen Daolin was stunned.

He was stunned for a long time before his eyes widened suddenly: "Wait, wait! What do you call me?"

"Uncle. Frey looked up as a matter of course: "You are the fiancé of our Miss Lordelle, the future uncle of my Liszt family...... Is there something wrong with my name?"

"Aunt, uncle?!" Chen Daolin's face muscles suddenly stiffened, the corners of his mouth pulled in front of him, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead: "Wait, wait a minute...... There's something wrong with that, like, right?"

"There's nothing wrong with that. Frey smiled happily: "You have made your relationship with Miss open at Miss's coming-of-age ceremony...... A few days ago, Miss returned from a trip with you, and after returning home, the patriarch had finally made a decision, and the patriarch had already spoken, since you and Miss Rodelle had a good relationship, then you were willing to fulfill Miss's wish. My uncle is young and promising, and he is still a young genius magician, and he is a good match for my young lady. So the patriarch has already spoken and agreed to this matter, I'm afraid that at the end of the year at the latest, the patriarch will personally come to the imperial capital to hold your and Miss's wedding!"

Chen Daolin: "............%%¥##%......&......" (To be continued)
