my age of magic

Chapter 525 23. The Royal City Floating in the Sky

The magic caravan is driving forward quickly, and the scenery on both sides of the road is galloping backwards. Although the distant mountain scenery is immersed in the thick night like ink, I can see that the airport at the foot of the mountain is getting farther and farther away from us. The carriage Walking higher and higher on this road, I was surprised that I needed to look back to see the airport town behind me.The airport lights, which were once connected like a gorgeous sea of ​​flowers, are now just as big as a matchbox.

The black wheels ran over the solid gravel and paved the avenue tens of meters wide. It turned out to be very stable, without any bumps. I was a little curious about what kind of magic circle was inlaid on the bottom of this caravan. Everything here is so novel to me.

Mrs. Alia was probably a little tired. She fell asleep on the soft leather sofa while the magic caravan was shaking gently. The maid covered her body with a velvet blanket with a slightly red face. Slightly embarrassed, he picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of water, concealing his slight embarrassment.

The maid knelt on the carpet and straightened Mrs. Alia's body so that she could sleep a little more comfortably. A faint smile appeared on her immature face, but she didn't dare to show it.

I turned my head and looked out of the car window. Every tens of meters on both sides of the road, there was a marble humanoid sculpture more than ten meters high. At night, those sculptures stood on a huge marble base more than two meters high. In the dark night, I tried to poke my head out of the window, but I couldn't see the faces of the sculptures clearly.

The giant toes of the sculpture on the marble plinth were bigger than the magic caravan we were riding in, and I slowly turned my attention to the window.

The carriage has been driving south, and it has been moving forward on a straight and gentle road. Two hours later, the surrounding scenery seems to have not changed, and there are still giant sculptures slipping past, but the one at the foot of the mountain The airport has been reduced to the size of a match head, and the faint light has become extremely blurred.

It takes about [-] kilometers away to make the light on the lighthouse so blurred!I was thinking secretly.

"Each sculpture is the incarnation of a hero of the Grimm Empire. On the stone foundation under their feet, their life stories are engraved. Jijia seems to be very interested in these statues!" Madam Alia's soft voice echoed in her ears sounded.

I turned my head, only to find that Mrs. Alia, who was asleep on the sofa, had woken up. She looked lazy, wrapped in a velvet blanket outside the dress, and was looking at it with curious eyes. Me, her radiant eyes became very tender, and the charm of a mature young woman was vividly displayed by her.

"Ah, it turns out that these statues are all heroes of the Grimm Empire. It seems that there are quite a few heroes in our empire!" I didn't have any awe for these heroes, so I said indifferently.

She didn't expect me to be so indifferent, she was taken aback for a moment, looked at me with wide eyes, and became more curious about me.

Then she continued without any pause, "Of course, these heroes have witnessed the history of the entire Grimm Empire, and we also have sculptures of five heroes here in Sluit Province. Even if I don't say it, you must know it is who!"

"It can't be the five heroes in the square outside the Ivory Tower Magic Academy in Sloit City?" I couldn't help blurting out.

Mrs. Aliya said with incomparable admiration in her eyes, "It's them, Xiatun Aili, Qiu Guolie, Palubuyi, Ke Mole, Rongyu. Sometimes I really want to go back to In the era when heroes were born in large numbers, witness the glorious history of those heroes with your own eyes, instead of standing in front of their sculptures and looking at their remains!"

"Now, our Green Empire also has great heroes!" I argued.

Mrs. Alicia smiled intriguingly and asked me, "Are you talking about Emperor Charles or Prince James?"

The current king of the Grimm Empire is Charles Angibald the Great. It is said that before he succeeded to the throne, this Emperor Charles was in charge of the most elite Griffon Knights in the empire. Tu is also a famous commander-in-chief.

The current chief executive officer of Haiyinsi City and the supreme commander of the Southwind Army is Prince James Angel Boulder. He led the Southwind Army to station in Haiyinsi for nearly 20 years, and is still firmly established He is also one of the most prestigious generals in the Grimm Empire today, and he is as famous as the supreme commander of the North Wind Legion, Generalissimo Leonard.

Mrs. Alia did not mention the commander of the North Wind Legion, and it seemed that she also had a deep grudge against the Generalissimo Leonard.

However, it is obvious that Generalissimo Leonard, the supreme commander of the North Wind Legion, is not having an easy life today. One of the reasons is that he adopted a soft policy towards the barbarians on the ice and snow tundra, which made Sluit Province These few years have been in dire straits, and his Northern Wind Legion is only guarding the south bank of the White Elephant River, and its jurisdiction is only from Sloit City to Xinghai City.

This policy has exposed most of the towns west of Sloiter nakedly under the eyes of the barbarians during the severe winter. Conduct a slave hunt.Such a decision has deeply hurt the strength of the local nobles in the province of Sloit. The ones who are most dissatisfied with Marshal Leonard's actions are of course the Grand Duke of Sloit City, Jingyue Aili, and the entire Sloit province. Aristocratic power in the western part of It Province.

It is said that Aili Jingyue and Generalissimo Leonard are in the same position now, and the nobles in El City don't buy the account of the North Wind Army, and set up the Knights of the Guard Battalion by themselves.

One-third of the Northwind Army's armaments and supplies are provided by the province of Sloit. I have heard people say that Jingyue Aili directly told the Northwind Army's quartermaster in the Grand Duke's mansion: Leonard During the period of being in charge of the North Wind Legion, don't even think about raising a copper plate of supplies from the province of Sluyte. Our gold coins are used to arm the guard battalion in our city.

Mrs. Aliya's words made my heart return from memory to reality. She looked at the gray night outside the window and continued: "If it is daytime, you will see where are these giant sculptures on the mountain road? How spectacular, the statues of the Dukes of the Green Empire are all erected on this avenue, if we stand at the Mazzaro Pass and look down, these statues are lined up on both sides of the avenue, and we can’t see the side at a glance.”

……

The carriage traveled to the only Majaro Pass leading to the imperial capital, and it was only a few kilometers away through a narrow valley road that was several kilometers long.

There is a pass guarding the throat of the imperial capital, the 'Majaro Pass'. A majestic city wall is like a giant python, hovering above the outermost mountain peak of Majaro's circular crater. This city wall made of huge stones Built on a cliff hundreds of feet high, it is said that the powerful frost giants in the depths of the ice and snow tundra or the Behemoth giant beasts in the Beast Temple in the Pai Plateau Daxue Mountain have no way to climb over this city wall.

The only ones who can climb this cliff are the dragons of Dragon City, but it is obvious that the curse-level air-forbidden circles in the fortresses above the cliff are prepared for those giant dragons.

Even though it is late at night, the gate here is still full of pedestrians preparing to pass the customs. This is actually a huge square. Hundreds of horse-drawn carriages are parked in the square. Checking, slowly driving out of the pass, everything was carried out in silence, without any loud noises, in a square the size of a football city, there were many guards holding halberds constantly patrolling.

I couldn't help but want to see the defense force of the so-called Green Empire's most solid fortress "Majaro Pass". I couldn't wait to get out of the caravan and stood at the door of the caravan, watching the coachman slowly drive the caravan to a place in the specified area.

Fortunately, the square is brightly lit at the moment, so I can clearly see the layout on the square.

This huge square is like a huge arena, surrounded by a city wall tens of meters high, and many bow and arrow guards stand on the city wall.

Unexpectedly, we have not yet entered the Mazzaro Pass, and we are already under the surveillance of the bow and arrow guards just by doing routine inspections in front of the pass. The tauren Luka is obediently following the magic caravan. His tall body has long been It attracted the attention of many pass guards.

Madam Aliya's magic caravan slowly drove into a specific area, and the coachman obediently stopped the magic caravan.

At this time, two pass guards in light leather armor came up and saw that I was wearing a magic robe, and their eyes showed awe, but they still looked at Luka the tauren unceremoniously. The tauren was a little annoyed, so I took out a roll of the "Contract of Subordination" with Luka the tauren from my magic pocket, and slowly unfolded it in front of the gate guard.

The guard at the gate wearing a leather cap repeatedly confirmed that the contract scroll was correct, and then let go of his nervousness, and gave me a military salute.

"You can pass the pass with your followers, Your Excellency the Mage." said the guard.

Madam Alia took out a golden badge from her bosom. The golden badge shone in her flawless white jade hands. The arm she was holding the badge stretched out from the car window of the caravan, and showed it to the gate guard for inspection.

The badge was actually a gold medal of nobility that symbolized the status of an earl. I lowered my head and glanced at the bronze badge on my chest that symbolized the status of a first-class baron. Obviously, the gap in title between me and Mrs. Alia was two big. First of all, Lady Arya is a countess.

I don't understand why Mrs. Alia let that Viscount August pester me when I was on Captain Mackintosh's airship. I thought to myself: Was it intentional?
"Let go!" The checkpoint guard finally stamped a magic seal on the shaft of the magic caravan and shouted.

Then, under my silent gaze, the magic caravan slowly drove into the Majaro pass, the inconspicuous magic seal exudes a light blue magic halo on the shaft, and I can feel the magic symbols on it together Little by little, according to this speed, the imprint of this magic seal will completely disappear after an hour, which means that the inspection of the magic caravan is only valid for one hour.

When the carriage drove under Xiongguan Pass, I saw a huge head over three meters high hanging from the tall city tower. The hideous face was painted with red and white oil paint, and there were two horns over one meter long on the top of the head. , the whole head is firmly nailed to the main gate of the city wall with a Thorium magic chain engraved with countless runes. It is the head of a great demon. I have seen some ancient scrolls about hell in the hands of old Kuru. From all the descriptions of the most powerful existence among the demons, I did not expect that the head of a great demon was locked on the wall of the gate of the only pass outside the imperial capital 'Mazzaro Pass'.

I can feel that the big demon has completely died, and only the head of the big devil is left on the city wall, but the strong coercion of the strong is like a huge mountain pressing on me, making me Some are out of breath.

It is said that in the face of such an adult big devil, even a fifty-level legendary mage who has successfully changed his job for the fourth time is absolutely difficult to match.

I stood on the magic caravan and took a deep breath, thinking: What kind of strong man is able to kill such a powerful existence!

……

The magic caravan followed the traffic, passed through the Mazzaro Pass, and passed through the long city wall tunnel. I stood outside the carriage and looked into the distance.At this moment, I felt as if I was in the starry sky, and the bright sparks kept flickering in front of my eyes. Suddenly, I realized that those were not the sparks in the starry sky, but the entire city of the imperial capital.

Under the hazy night, I took a deep breath. Only then did I really feel how huge the capital is. When it is time, they will completely blend with the night.

And the towering cliffs around me spread out to both sides like the wings of swallows, and the entire imperial capital was surrounded by hundreds of kilometers of mountain walls. From the looks of it, the entire imperial capital looked like a huge frying pan. His eyes continued to extend, looking for the rumored imperial city.

In the center of the imperial capital, with those gorgeous lights, I saw a large lake. In the dark night, it was like a mirror swallowing all the light sources. Along the lake, I looked up, and a huge floating mountain appeared in the imperial capital. In the sky above is the Blazing Imperial City, where Emperor Charles the Great and his harem concubines live.

I looked stupidly at the huge floating mountain floating on the lake. It turns out that there is such a huge artificial floating mountain on the Roland Continent. Seeing the curse-level floating magic circle under the mountain, I fell into a sluggish state completely. middle……
