my age of magic

Chapter 1568 118. Don't Be Cannon Fodder
The Imperial City Council Hall, located at No. [-] Royal Street in the first district, is a building with a history of hundreds of years. This building is adjacent to the Duke's Mansion by Weiyang Lake.

The magic caravan drove straight from Yulin Street to Lakeside Avenue, and drove north along the lakeside continent for 10 minutes before arriving. This is an oval-shaped building like a water stadium. If you look down from the sky, the Imperial City Council Hall looks more like It is an arena with a dome. The square in front of the Imperial City Council Hall is flat and wide. Even if hundreds of magic caravans are parked here, it will not look crowded.

The magic caravan took me to the gate of the imperial capital's parliament hall. Count Lionel Falconer and a group of his friends were already waiting at the gate of the council hall.

As the fourth batch of troops supporting the plane of Ahnquirad, although their troops stayed in the plane of Ahnquirad for less than two months, this did not prevent them from sharing the fruits of victory. Since Duke Billy Babington recognized They also let their combined legion pass through the portal of San Carlos City, which means acknowledging the fact that this legion supports the plane of Ahn'Qirad.

This group of young nobles gathered on the stone steps at the entrance of the Imperial City Council Hall, and some people sat side by side on the white jade railings of the steps. They were talking and laughing and seemed to be in a good mood. Exquisite family badges and title badges, when they saw me stepping out of the magic caravan, they waved to me from a distance. The morning sun shot from behind them, making me squint my eyes and stretch out my hands to build a pergola on my forehead , I took a deep breath and stepped up the long stone steps.

In order to show the solemnity of the Imperial City Council Hall, the stone steps in front of the Council Hall were repaired very long.

At this time, many nobles had already gathered in the square in front of the council hall, and there were many nobles strolling along the long steps.

Some nobles wore traditional linen gowns, held golden scepters in their hands, and wore gold headbands on their heads. They climbed up the steps, and the nobles along the way gave way one after another.

Count Lionel Falconer walked out of the crowd, walked towards me, pulled me to the side of the stone steps, avoided the group of nobles holding golden scepters, and led me to face those The nobles saluted the nobles and waited for the group of nobles to pass by us before he whispered to me: "This group of people are all members of the Imperial City Council Hall. Although they are usually not well-known, but in the Imperial City They all have very high status, try not to mess with them."

"Why would Billy Babington hold a meeting in the Imperial City Council Hall?" I asked Lionel.

At this time, the young people behind him gathered to say hello to me.

Lionel Falconer stood beside me and explained to me: "After the victory of the Ahn'Qirad plane, because of the large number of legions participating in the battle, the time for each legion to enter the Ahn'Qirad plane was limited. Different people have made different contributions to the plane of Ahnquilador. In order to avoid unnecessary disputes, Duke Billy Babington decided to hand over the distribution of benefits after the victory of the war on the plane of Ahnquilador to the Imperial City Council Court ruling."

A bearded young nobleman said with a look of resentment and some gloating: "Hmph! No matter who is invited to judge, this time the Babington family will inevitably give up some resources in the plane of Ahn'Qirad. "

A pale young nobleman next to him couldn't help but said: "In my opinion, His Royal Highness Crown Prince Charlie is looking at the five major mithril mines in the multi-plane of Ahn'Qirad."

"Hush! How dare you say such a thing!" The bearded young nobleman grabbed him and stopped in a low voice.

Lionel Falconer said to the white-faced young nobleman: "The Ahn'Qirad multi-plane war, our group of people are all fighting the autumn wind in the back, whether it is the leader of the Aix Legion or the Mo family At least, it’s Luis Mensah’s group of people, who didn’t send troops to the plane of Ahn’Qirad because of the face of His Royal Highness Crown Prince Charlie? If your words fall into the ears of these big shots, investigate the person above your family Can't protect you."

The bearded young nobleman also nodded repeatedly and said: "I also heard from our old man about this matter. Originally, the Mo's Legion wanted to march into the Luoqi plane with the South Wind Legion. In the end, they went directly to the plane of Ahn'Qirad."

As soon as the topic started, other young people interrupted one after another. Everyone gathered on the stone steps, but no one came to our side.

Count Lionel Falconer said: "Actually, there are some other factors involved. If it weren't for His Royal Highness Crown Prince Charlie leading the Royal Constructed Knights into the Angela multi-dimensional plane, the Mithril market on the side of the Grimm Empire would probably be It’s not going to stabilize so quickly.”

At this time, someone in the crowd said, "Hey, the gate of the council hall is open, let's go quickly, and when the important figures behind arrive, we will inevitably have to salute them."

We looked up, and sure enough, those councilors holding golden scepters walked to the gate of the council hall, and the gate was pushed open from the inside. After those councilors walked in one after another, the gate of the council hall did not close , Instead, some guards walked out of the council hall and stood in front of the gate.

The guards in the imperial capital like to wear metal armor, which is somewhat different from us in the north. Most of the guards in El City wear some light leather armor and a fur coat on the outside, so that even if they wear It is very thick, but it will not affect the flexibility of the body. The guards of the imperial capital wear metal armor in winter, and they must have thick warm clothes inside, so that they look like robots when they walk. .

Among these young nobles, some young nobles are very curious about me, because Zach brought me into this circle before, so the topic will also be developed here.

The young nobleman with a beard asked me curiously: "Marquis Jijia, I heard that I met Zac during the war on the Yero plane?"

I think he should also come from the Northland province, but I don’t remember him introducing himself before, I smiled and said to him: “Please call me Jijia, Zack and I actually met in the imperial capital last winter, I I remember that Zach and Ernestine were sent from the Hierro plane to the imperial capital for treatment, and a good friend of mine worked in the Campbell Nursing Home, and that’s how I met Zach.”

There are probably many young nobles who want to know how Zack and I met, so I will give such a detailed explanation:
"Last summer, when our academy was training in the plane of Hierro, we encountered the Nebulu Spiderman. Later we returned to the imperial capital, but some of my followers chose to stay in the plane of Hierro. Speaking of which, I I was also forced to get involved in the Hierro Plane War. Later, Zach and Ernestine organized a counterattack in the Hierro Plane. I was lucky enough to participate in it. In this war of planes, we united with the local aborigines to defeat the Nebulu spiderman, and I also obtained black magic crystals and magic herbs from the local aborigines, haha."

Hearing what I said, the group of young nobles showed envious looks, and some even blurted out, "Is that the Black Magic Crystal?"

I knew he was referring to the unidentified black magic crystals I sold them, so I nodded: "That's right!"

In fact, almost everyone in the imperial capital was not very optimistic about the Hierro plane war at that time, and because the resources on the Hierro plane were limited, they could not attract the attention of the big lords with heavy troops, and the small lords in the imperial capital were very angry. They didn't dare to bet their chips on the Hierro plane, so that Zach and Ernestine came to the imperial capital several times to ask for help and returned empty-handed. Perfect win.

This victory not only made the Duke of Samoyed and the lords of Duerva Province completely overturned, but also made many small lords in the imperial capital salivate at the huge profits.

Zach and Ernestine were also famous in the circle of young nobles in the imperial capital for a while. Although they couldn't compare with the Prince of Wales, Mohist and others, they were also considered outstanding generals among the younger generation of the Green Empire.

When these young nobles heard that I actually participated in the Hierro Plane War, they all praised me:
"Jijia, you are so lucky."

The bearded young nobleman sneered and said:

"If you really think it's his luck, then it's a very wrong call!"

Other young nobles asked curiously, "Unel, do you know other inside stories?"

At this time, a group of us had already walked to the main entrance of the council hall, and the guards at the gate stood up to stop us. Lionel Falconer went out and negotiated with the guards for a while, and then showed our noble badges , and walked into the Imperial City Council Hall without verification. The female clerk at the front desk of the Imperial City Council Hall led a group of us into a hall like an opera house. Our seats were in the most inconspicuous position at the back.

When everyone sat down, they didn't forget to ask the waitress to tease the receptionist. The young nobles were a little outspoken, but this was also the vitality of young people.

The bearded man has a big chin, and when he smiles, his jaw protrudes forward, looking like a dustpan, but his teeth are very white, so I heard him say: "Do you remember the wedding that caused a sensation in the imperial capital at the coming-of-age ceremony last year? "

The young nobles gathered together one after another and said in a hurry: "Is he the young magician who was chosen by His Royal Highness Qige and Princess Yingli at the same time?"

I quickly admitted: "Yes, I am that magician."

The envious eyes turned into the jealousy of Chi Guoguo, who never thought that after marrying Qige, she would become a public enemy of the whole people.

The bearded man smiled ambiguously at me, and then said: "Do you remember that Duke Ryan's lover was snatched away by the magic of the Royal Academy of Magic last year?"

Someone among the young nobles stood up from his chair, pointed at me and said, "Is he the magic student who stole Duke Ryan's lover?"

Lionel Falconer replied for me at this time: "Yes, he is the magic student. When we met last time, didn't you see Mrs. Alicia?"

Someone immediately complained: "At that time, we were all immersed in the joy of the plane war, and didn't notice these at all..."

Another young nobleman said: "When Zach introduced the Marquis of Jijia, I thought he was an arms dealer in the imperial capital. Since Zac introduced him, I didn't check his identity... "

Then the topic gradually turned to the war on the plane of Ahnquilador. These young nobles began to talk about the topography, customs and customs of the Ahnquilador plane. I listened carefully, but because Babington When the family operated the plane of Ahn'Qiraj, they captured the aborigines as slaves to mine mines. The aborigines in the center of the occupied area of ​​the Grimm Empire died and migrated. They never saw Ahn'Qiraj. Multi-dimensional natives.

While we were chatting, some nobles walked into this parliament hall one after another, and they all found seats to sit down.

It didn't take long for more than half of the seats in the conference hall to be filled with nobles. On the long curved table on the stage were some councilors holding golden scepters. There were some documents in front of them. These councilors in linen robes They are also discussing with each other.

……

"Hey! Jijia."

While I was quietly listening to the young nobles telling stories on the plane of Ahn'Qirad, I suddenly heard a familiar voice.

I turned around and realized that Mo Xiang was looking at me with a smile on his face, standing near the back row of the entrance of the council hall.

"Mo Xiang, long time no see, why are you here?" I greeted the young master of the Mo family.

In the past half a year, he and I went from hostility to indifference. Later, because Lord Bruce made peace, the relationship between us gradually became friendly. He needed my single-attribute crossbow arrow, and I needed him to help me get Krypton. Kim, after a few encounters, they became friends.

Mo Xiang was wearing a gorgeous dress, and a group of Mo family members stood behind him. Everyone's eyes fell on us, and he said to me: "Yes, that guy Billy distributed the benefits of Ahn'Qiraj multi-plane The authority was handed over to the imperial capital council hall. If I was not present, this piece of cake would not be given to me much. The Mohist Legion has been stationed in Anchorado for nearly a year. I hope that the allocation of the members of the council hall can Satisfy me."

Then, he waved to the group of men to go forward, while he walked over to me instead.

Lionel Falconer immediately gave up the seat next to me, Mo Xiang sat down unceremoniously, and asked me: "Tell me about you, the distribution of benefits in the multi-plane war of Ahn'Qirad has nothing to do with you Right? Why are you here?"

I rubbed my nose and explained to Mo Xiang:

"Actually, it has something to do with me. You also know that although I have been promoted to be a marquis, I have no territory other than the town of Trum in the plane of Hierro. In this war of planes of Ahnquilador, I will serve as the fourth Members of the logistics department of the first batch of support groups provided some single-attribute crossbow arrows to the Ahnquilador battlefield, so I am also here to receive the fruits of victory."

Mo Xiang asked me with a look of surprise: "You mean you plan to open up territories on the multi-plane Ahn'Qirad?"

"Duke Billy said that he did not agree to the distribution of benefits. The Babington family can give up the land belonging to the Babington family in the "[-] Convention". I think this is quite good." I said to him.

Mo Xiang frowned slightly, paused before saying, "Hey, Ji Jia, you have to think about this matter carefully, those Nacoma people are only temporarily retreating strategically, and their comeback is just around the corner, don't be that Cannon fodder on a strategic buffer zone..."
