My wizarding career begins on Earth

Chapter 275 Welcome
In the blue sky, white clouds floated over the carriage, and below was the endless vast land.

A series of yellow-green mountains lie like centipedes on the green land, and between the mountains are deep, dark canyons.

The early morning sunlight showed a cold white color without any warmth, and only reflected a faint luster on the surface of the carriage.

Lu He looked at the waterfall sloping down from the top of the mountain in the distance. The breeze blew by, blowing the waterfall like smoke and mist.

"Master, it's time to eat." The voice of the little maid Nicole came from outside.

The convoy has been on the road for five days and should arrive at Crescent City in the afternoon.

Lu He stood up and walked out of the car.

There were some knights scattered around the carriage, wearing blue and silver plate armor and helmets, holding long swords or lances.

The war horse under its crotch was also covered in silver scales, which reflected dazzling lights in the sunlight.

This is the team of knights sent by the old emperor to escort him. The leader is named Suraya, a female knight.

"Lord Sauron, keep walking along this main road and you will reach the capital." Suraya stepped forward and said respectfully.

Lu He looked at the woman in front of him.

He is handsome, with an upper-middle-class appearance, and is no more than thirty years old. He has long gray-brown hair tied into a ponytail.

She was wearing a silver close-fitting armor specially designed for the Crescent Royal Guard, which clung to her skin, perfectly highlighting the shape of her breasts and outlining her tight buttocks curves.

The armor has fine hollow patterns and some decorative white crystal lines.

The lower body reveals long white legs with conspicuous proportions and exposed skin on the waist and abdomen, giving people a refreshing and sexy look.

When a knight wears this kind of armor, which is used by the royal guard of honor to decorate it beautifully, the intention is self-evident.

It was obviously another direct attack on his other weakness.

Lu He didn't speak, just nodded to express his understanding, then turned and walked towards Nicole.

Suraya looked at the count's cold back, smiled helplessly, and felt a sense of frustration in her heart.

When His Majesty asked her if she was willing to meet Sauron and hinted her something, she agreed.

Suraya has always wanted to rely on her own strength to get ahead and become a noble. Unfortunately, the reality is cruel.

With no background, no military exploits, and unwillingness to sell oneself, no matter how hard you work, even if you become a knight, reaching your current status is already the limit, and it will be difficult to go further.

Today, she finally had the idea of ​​compromise.

After weighing it up, although she was still somewhat resistant to it in her heart, she still gritted her teeth and agreed.

Because His Majesty promised her that no matter what reward Lord Sauron would give her, he would make her a baron in her hometown.

When she saw Sauron for the first time, Suraya felt ashamed and embarrassed because Sauron was too young and looked like a young student. She was ten years older than him.

But at the end of the day, she realized that she had thought too much.

Zoro didn't even look at her, and only exchanged a few simple words or nodded and shook his head.

His personality and hobbies are completely different from what is popular in the capital.

After eating, the convoy continued its journey along a flat avenue flanked by gray, bare rocky mountains.

It takes an unknown amount of resources to open a straight and wide avenue between the rolling hills.

There are also two railway tracks next to it, and from time to time, trains will pass by in billowing white fog.

Lu He found that most trains transported goods and carried very few people, but occasionally there was one.

The train was very slow and crowded with passengers. Even the aisles were full of people. The decoration inside could be seen through the open windows. It was not much different from the green trains on Earth.

As we get closer to the capital, there are gradually more pedestrians and convoys on the road, and there are checkpoints everywhere.

However, Lu He's convoy was not stopped for inspection, so he must have been notified in advance.

It's approaching evening.

The wheels of the carriage were turning vigorously.

Lu He stood in the driving seat and looked ahead from a distance. The slightly orange-red sunlight of the setting sun shone on him, as if coated with a layer of golden red, giving him a feeling of tranquility and warmth.

The capital city in the distance is already looming.

Crescent King is a huge city built along the top of a huge mountain range.

Most of the buildings are gray and black, lying on the top of the mountain like a long dragon, which is very spectacular and majestic.

There are a total of twelve roads leading to the royal capital in the north.

Nine of them are for civilians or caravans, and the other three are exclusive roads for nobles.

Suraya, the captain of the cavalry, approached on horseback.

"Lord Sauron, this road goes straight up, and the royal capital is at the top of the mountain." She pointed to a fork in front of the road.

At the end of the avenue is a large bayonet, and several roads of different sizes extend from the bayonet to the other side.

Lu He looked forward in the direction of her finger.

At the mountain road ahead, a gray-white stone road more than five meters wide slopes upward and extends to the top of the mountain.

The stone road is like a gray snake with no visible head, lying quietly on the surface of the mountain, winding and twisting, extending into a gray cloud and mist, with no end in sight.

Somewhat strangely, there was no one on the road, completely opposite to the busy scene seen on the road.

"Lord Sauron, in order to welcome you, His Majesty has specially blocked several roads here."

Perhaps because she saw Lu He's doubts, Suraya explained the reason without leaving any trace.

"His Majesty is waiting for you in the Triumph Square in front." There was a hint of inexplicable envy in her tone.

In the entire empire, there are only two heavenly knights, Lord Sauron and the Speaker, who can personally come out of the city to greet His Majesty the Emperor.

"Let's go." Lu He withdrew his gaze and returned to the carriage.

Almost half an hour later, the carriage arrived at a wide square halfway up the mountain.

The square is very large, perhaps as big as two or three football fields. In the center stands a giant statue of the founding emperor Alex, holding a knight's sword and overlooking the mountains and rivers.

There are also ten huge pure white knight sword sculptures erected around the square. The swords are inlaid with various reliefs and sculptures, depicting victory scenes and important events in the history of the empire.

The knight statue is Alex, the Knight of the Crescent.

This is a paladin who has lived for more than five hundred years. He is considered to be the last generation of paladin before the extraordinary invisibility.

It's a pity that future generations can't support him, so now he can only stand under his statue and pin his hopes on himself.

The old emperor stood up the moment he saw the carriage. Regardless of the majesty of the royal family, he walked down the steps to greet it.

He was really cornered.

Although change is the mainstream on the East Continent today, even though many empires have already initiated changes.

But he still wanted to struggle, at least not to let the foundation laid by his ancestors be destroyed in his own hands.

He was already in despair. All his allies at home and abroad had abandoned him. Once he heard that the lawful knight Hosiman was leading this change, he immediately changed his face and refused.

But Sauron's sudden appearance gave him hope.

Sauron is a traditional noble of the empire. His interests are consistent with the royal family, and his attitude is naturally on the side of the royal family. What's more, Sauron is not favored by Hosiman and has been reprimanded many times.

And he kept speaking for Sauron, and he once wanted to marry his daughter to Sauron.

Looking at the iconic red eyes of the Soros family, the old emperor suddenly remembered Count Soros of the previous generation.

He sighed deeply, put away the regret and guilt in his heart, stepped forward, and said slowly:

"Count Sauron, the most loyal and brave warrior of the Alex royal family, welcomes you to the capital."

……

A gray-white luxury villa is embedded in the middle of the stone wall, with only a horizontal path connecting it to the outside world.

It's like hollowing out a stone wall and building a house inside. Only when facing the cliff is a balcony fence exposed.

A tall man with short brown hair was holding the fence and standing on the balcony, quietly looking at the white sea of ​​clouds below.

The strong wind blew his hair back. The white pajamas on her body were also lifted back.

He shook the drink in his hand and took a sip.

Then he looked in the direction of Triumph Square, where there was a strong and fiery aura, like the scorching sun.

"Sauron Soros, Sky Shooting Knight..."

Hossiman smiled softly, drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, turned around and walked into the villa.

Six o'clock is his bedtime.

...At this time, there is a white palace on the top of the mountain.

Yulia wore a plain white lace dress, with a shallow ravine in the middle of her half-exposed snow-white breasts.

Sapphire pendants hang between the ravines.

She was sitting in front of the dressing table, her pure and beautiful face reflected in the bright mirror, her slender hands holding her cheeks.

There was a complex look in her eyes.

Because Zoro is here.

Since learning about Sauron's promotion to Sky Knight, every one of her sisters and best friends have been congratulating and envying her.

But they don't know that their hearts already belong to them and can no longer accommodate others.

"Your Highness Yulia, the etiquette officer is here. She said that His Majesty informed you to go to the palace and prepare to welcome Count Sauron."

Hearing the maid's report outside the door, Yulia let out a resentful lament. After sitting for a while, she stood up at the urging.

……

night.

In the splendid palace, bright light shines on the ground and spreads to the red carpet with gold edges.

A long table made of red birch is laid with sumptuous dishes.

Golden roasted chicken, fragrant beef stew and vegetable soup, fragrant black caviar.

Red fruit platter, various fragrant stir-fried and steamed vegetables, and carefully crafted... Dongzhou hot pot.

There were more than a dozen beautiful girls waiting on both sides.

"Zoron, knowing that you like Dongzhou cuisine, I specially sent someone to Lotingham Province to hire a restaurant chef."

The old emperor led Lu He into the palace, followed by a group of princes and princesses in gorgeous clothes.

The royal family members who greeted him were all young, and their eyes were full of curiosity and fear, and several of the young princes had a hint of jealousy in their eyes.

"Your Majesty, you're welcome." Lu He looked at the things prepared in the palace and felt that the old emperor was still very attentive.

"I originally planned to prepare a welcome dinner, but today is the Sabbath." The old emperor smiled.

"Of course I'm not a believer, nor am I just a so-called Sabbath. I'm just Speaker Hoseman..."

Before the old emperor finished speaking, he kindly took Lu He's hand and sat at the head seat of the dining table.

Lu He didn't refuse and sat down directly.

This behavior made the faces of several princes change color slightly, and the faint jealousy in their eyes became stronger.

"Today is a family banquet to welcome Zoro. Everyone, please be more casual and don't be too formal."

The old emperor smiled and told Lu He to bring four beauties and two knights, and then sat down next to Lu He.

The old emperor's posture was very low and his attitude was cordial, which made Yue Ling Helen and the others relax, who had always been nervous.

After they took their seats, more than a dozen princes and princesses sat down one by one. Apparently they had been informed in advance.

During the meal, the old emperor did not mention anything about the things in the letter. Instead, he talked about the history of the Soros family and the story of how the family ancestors and the royal family opened up territories together.

From time to time, he would talk about some recent major events or interesting things in the world, acting like an ordinary elder.

And he didn't neglect anyone. Even the half-elf Yue Ling and the little maid Nicole expressed some concern.

Both of them were so excited that they were unable to speak.

During this period, several princes and princesses also spoke occasionally. They were well-educated and did not feel domineering at all.

One of the princesses made Lu He take another look.

The seventh princess is an icy beauty wearing a white lace crown and has long, silky white hair.

There is also an acquaintance who once went to Highland City to canonize his Princess Yulia, and the two of them had a very unpleasant quarrel at that time.

It was not until the dinner was over that the old emperor was ready to talk about business, leaving Lu He alone and taking him to the study.

In the room with a golden theme, the walls are carved with fine and gorgeous golden floral decorations, making it look magnificent.

Several rows of yellow leather wooden sofas are placed in an arc shape in the middle of the room. There are two long bookshelves on the right side, filled with various books with gold edges.

"Zoron, take a seat." The old emperor pointed to the sofa just like an ordinary host would receive guests.

Lu He glanced at the environment in the study room.

The books are a bit messy and have signs of being turned. It can be seen that the old emperor is a person who likes reading very much.

"Time flies so fast. I think when I first met your father, he was about the same age as you."

After he sat down, the old emperor also leaned on the sofa and let out a long sigh.

Lu He said nothing and watched his performance quietly.

"The Soros family has always been the staunchest ally of my Alex family and the most powerful arm of the empire. It is because of your existence that the empire can be truly stable and healthy."

"Your Majesty is overly complimentary." Lu He smiled slightly.

The Alex family has ruled this vast land for nearly a thousand years, and has done a very good job. It can be said that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and it has a high reputation among common people and small nobles.

These words were coupled with the gesture at the banquet.

If it had been the original owner, or someone else, he might have knelt down on one knee in excitement and sworn allegiance.

It's a pity that I met Lu He.

The old emperor's eyes flickered slightly, and he was not too surprised by Lu He's dull reaction.

He didn't know how many times he had studied Sauron's information, and he already had a clear idea of ​​his personality and preferences.

This is just to increase the other person's goodwill. I don't know if it will be useful, but it is better than nothing.

……

after an hour.

Lu He walked out of the study.

Standing at the door was a plump female official, wearing a yellow royal official uniform with a low neckline.

"Lord Sauron, I will take you to the palace where you will rest."

Seeing him come out, the maid immediately bowed to him, revealing a pair of plump and round breasts.

Lu He nodded and motioned for her to lead the way.

The two were walking in the white corridor. The entire corridor was almost seven meters high and wide, which was extremely wide.

Walking on the smooth floor tiles, you can still hear the faint crisp echo of footsteps.

Across the corridor is an open-air garden.

The garden is full of all kinds of flowers, and the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers and grass.

Under the bright light, a group of luxuriously dressed girls were chattering in the garden, not knowing what they were talking about.

One of them was the seventh princess, and next to him stood a slender young man.

Lu He glanced at it.

The man was wearing a silver-white shirt, had gray hair, black pupils, a tall figure, and a face as sharp as a knife. He looked handsome and tough.

The aura he exudes is clearly that of the peak knight level.

"Senior sister, is he Sauron, the Sky-Shooting Knight?" Hua Long glanced at Lu He and frowned slightly.

"That's him. He just arrived in the royal capital today. My father has put all his hopes on him." The seventh princess Olivia said calmly while looking at Sauron's back.

"Such a young Knight of Heaven!" Hua Long's eyes became a little more cautious.

"Can he deal with Hossiman?" He spoke in a low voice until his back completely disappeared from sight.

"Your Majesty is so sick that you need to seek medical attention!"

"Definitely not." Olivia shook her head.

"You know Hosiman's strength. Even the teacher doesn't dare to conflict with him."

She slowly walked up to a white flower, gently picked off a petal, and sighed softly: "But besides him, who else dares to take a trip into this muddy water?"

Hua Long paused and stopped talking.
