Lord Chronicle

Chapter 28 The Elven Singer

Cotton City is located in the territory of the Kingdom of Over. Starting from Cotton City and riding east for three days, it is the holy city of Dusk, the royal capital of the Kingdom of Dinar.

At this time, in Caton City, there was a commotion, and the residents rushed to run, and everyone had a look of excitement on their faces.

"It's the elf, the elf has come to the city." Everyone was yelling.

"Huh?" A person in a tavern in Caton City was also attracted by this shout.

He was sitting in a corner of the tavern, stuffing bread into his mouth like no one else was there, looking carefully, wasn't it the young master Sol who had the dual profession of lord and bandit?
After escaping that night, Sol set off for the capital by himself, and arrived at Carton after a long journey for several days.At this time, he was eating lunch, and he couldn't help walking out when he heard the shouts from the residents outside.

"What's going on?" He grabbed a passing man.

"It's the elves, the elves are here." The man shook off his hand excitedly, and ran towards the place where the crowd gathered.

"Elf?" Sol became interested, and hurriedly followed.

To be honest, although the elves are a relatively autistic race, it is not impossible to see them. Every year, many elves leave the elf kingdom in Maris Forest to explore the mainland.The reason why Caton City caused a sensation today was because the elves who came were so unusual.

The wide and straight central street was spotless, and Caton City soldiers lined up as a wall to prevent the crowds of residents from entering the street.At this time, at the other end of the street, a group of elves were slowly approaching.

There were 20 elf soldiers wearing longbows and wearing green forest guard uniforms, protecting a carriage pulled by two snow-white unicorns.The carriage seemed to be entangled with countless naturally formed vines, some of which had emerald green leaves, which looked very special.

On both sides of the carriage were two elf women in snow-white hooded robes. They were as beautiful as immortals, with delicate figures and green hair flowing behind their heads.They lowered their heads and followed the carriage slowly, like the most pious nuns, turning a blind eye to the noise of the people in Caton City.

Behind the carriage, there are 10 elf knights riding winged horses and wearing golden armor.The whole body of the winged horse is snow white, with huge wings growing on both sides, it is extremely handsome.At this time, their wings are tightly folded, and they walk slowly with the carriage like ordinary horses. However, once the wings are spread, they can fly straight into the sky.

This was the first time Sol saw a real elf. He gnawed on the unfinished bread, poked his cheeks and poked his head in the crowd, looking like a country bumpkin in town.

"This is the representative of the elves who went to the royal capital to congratulate the celebration, passing by Caton City today."

"I heard that the Elven King sent their singers here this time, the king is really honored..."

The people around were talking about it, which saved Sol a lot of talking.The singers of the elves are equivalent to the high priests in the human kingdom. In the eyes of the elves, they are wise men who can communicate with gods, and their status is very respected.

Just when Saul was trying to squeeze to the front to see clearly, he was suddenly patted on the shoulder, and at the same time a voice said: "Mr. Saul, why are you here?"

Sol looked back, and the person pulling him turned out to be Rubens, the leader of the Blue Wolf mercenary group, and he was accompanied by several mercenaries from the mercenary group, all of whom Sol had seen.

Unexpectedly, he would meet an acquaintance here, Sol didn't know how to answer for a while, at this time Rubens smiled and said: "We have heard about you, and there are rumors that you disappeared, so the brothers have been worried for a while. .”

Sol's heart moved, and he quickly asked, "Do you know where Jessica and the others are?"

Rubens shook his head: "I heard that your entourage has been looking for you for a long time. Are you lost?"

Sol said casually: "I didn't know where I was washed after I fell into the water that day. I was afraid of missing the kingdom sacrifice, so I went directly to the capital."

Rubens was relieved: "So that's the case, but you don't have to worry. According to the laws of the kingdom, regardless of whether the lord is alive or not, the members of the territory must arrive at the capital on time. So they must be on their way to the capital. You can definitely do it when you arrive at the capital." Find them."

Sol felt relieved, and asked curiously, "What are the Blue Wolf mercenaries doing here?"

Rubens pointed to the fading elf convoy: "We are entrusted with protecting them."

Sol Daqi: "Why do the elves still rely on human mercenaries for protection?"

Another member of the mercenary group interjected: "No, we are just hired to protect the chanter's car on the outside and try not to disturb them. Not only us, but several mercenary groups also accepted this task, saying yes Protection, in fact, is just to maintain law and order for them along the way."

Rubens also said: "The kingdom is commemorating, and the big figures from all sides gather in the capital. There must be a lot of big business, and we are going to try our luck."

As he spoke, he said to Sol: "Are you alone? Why don't you come with us?"

Of course Sol couldn't wish for it, he nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, but you don't want to be so polite, if you treat me as a friend, just call me by my name."

Rubens laughed loudly: "Okay! It's the first time I've seen a lord like you, it's interesting."

In this way, Sol temporarily joined the Blue Wolf Mercenary Group as an ordinary mercenary.Knowing his poor level, Rubens certainly wouldn't expect him to be able to really play a role. Anyway, this journey has been safe and sound, and nothing will happen.

The group rested in Caton City that day, and the elven singer was invited to attend the welcome banquet at the Santo's Mansion. It happened to be the turn of the Blue Wolf Mercenary Group to accompany him for protection, so Rubens led the crowd to the Santo's Mansion.

According to the regulations, they couldn't follow in, so everyone waited outside.Although they knew that nothing would happen, the mercenaries still scattered around the city lord's mansion according to their professional habits, occupying various places for security.

Rubens, Saul and a dozen mercenaries were waiting in front of the main entrance of the Santo's Mansion.The mansion was brightly lit, and melodious music could be heard faintly, but everyone could only drink northwest wind at the door with the nobles, grooms and other servants who attended the banquet. Sol couldn't help feeling that mercenary is indeed a very difficult job.

Several jungle guards and winged horse riders were also not far away, looking after the singer's carriage and those winged horses.The elves gathered at the edge of the garden indifferently, looking out of place with the surroundings, as if there was an invisible barrier that completely isolated them from the people around them.

Bored, Saul looked at the elves, and then thought of the elf women beside the singer's car, secretly thought that if there was someone here, it would be very eye-catching to watch them all night.

Curious, he couldn't help teasing Rubens: "Have you ever seen that singer, what does he look like?"

As soon as he said this, the mercenaries around were fascinated, and Rubens sighed: "She usually doesn't get out of the car, so I only saw her a few times from a distance, but I will never forget her appearance in my life. It's so beautiful, not only the appearance, but also the temperament, I have seen countless women in my life, I dare not say that there are no women whose appearance is comparable to hers, but that kind of goddess-like elegance is absolutely unique."

Just seeing it a few times from a distance can make a muscular man like Rubens obsessed like this, which aroused Sol's curiosity even more, and he yearned: "Then I must see it."

Rubens patted him on the shoulder regretfully: "After tonight we won't stay in the city anymore, we will go directly to the capital. I'm afraid you won't have much chance during this period. But you are also a lord anyway, maybe in Maybe we can see each other at the banquet in the palace."

How could Sol wait until then?The singer was praised by Rubens as being rare in the sky and absolutely nothing on the earth. Now that beauty is so close at hand, even if you can't get started, how can you not even look at it?
Frowning, Sol counted on his heart.He covered his stomach, and pretended to say to Rubens, "I'm sorry, I'm a little anxious, so I'll go and make it easier."

Rubens didn't doubt that it was there, and waved his hand to signal him to take it easy.Sol left the square in front of the main entrance and quietly walked around to the side of the Santo's Mansion.

Everyone in the mercenary group recognized him, and no one stopped the mercenaries who were on guard around the city lord's mansion, so Sol was able to drive straight in.After more than half a circle around the city lord's mansion, Sol finally found his target.

It was a side door at the back of the mansion for servants to enter and exit. It was opened behind the kitchen for people to transport food ingredients.Seven or eight mercenaries guarded the surrounding area, obviously taking it as a key protection place.

Sol's idea is very simple, if there is no chance, he will sneak in to see the beautiful women.For people in this world, this idea is undoubtedly crazy and bold, especially for a low-status "mercenary".But Saul, who still thinks modern, doesn't care so much, and he doesn't have so many hierarchical concepts and scruples. Isn't it natural for men to look at beautiful women?

So Saul took action as a matter of course, and he never thought about the consequences.

Seeing Sol, a mercenary greeted him: "Mr. Sol, what are you doing here?"

Although Sol asked the mercenary group to regard him as a friend, except for Rubens and a few others, the other mercenaries still respect him, and the concept of hierarchy has penetrated into the hearts of every commoner in this world.

Sol put on a poop face: "I'm a little anxious, but in my capacity, it's inconvenient to solve it... You know, so I have to go in and borrow the toilet."

The mercenary froze for a moment, then nodded again and again: "I understand, I understand, but the captain ordered..."

Sol untied his saber and handed it to him: "I've already told Rubens, hurry up, I can't hold it anymore." He thought to himself, I did tell Rubens, but I didn't say where I would go Toilet, don't blame me for lying when the time comes.

The mercenary heard what he said and saw that he took off his sword, so he had no doubts, so Sol finally managed to sneak into the city lord's mansion.

***************************************************************************
Behind the door is a dark corridor. Push open a door at the end of the corridor, and what Sol sees is the kitchen of the City Lord's Mansion.

Several large pots were gurgling soup, pies and bread were baked in the oven, and the red whole lamb was placed on the grill, giving off a tempting aroma.Several chefs were busy decorating the cake with cream, large platters of fresh fruit were placed on the wooden table, various large and small wine bottles were piled up into hills, and there were people coming and going everywhere, and it was very lively.
Sol's stomach growled in disbelief. Since he fell into the water and died, he has been living on rough food. Now that there are so many delicate foods in front of him, why don't he move his index finger?

But the top priority is not to eat a big piece. If the people in the kitchen notice him as an outsider, it will be strange not to be kicked out.Looking around, Sol quietly approached the clothes hanger in the corner of the kitchen, pulled a piece of clothing on his body, and turned into a waiter in a blink of an eye.

Smiling, Sol rubbed his hands and walked towards the table full of food. It is important to take a peek at the beauties, but it is better to reward yourself first.

Unexpectedly, before he got close, a maid suddenly held up a plate of roasted goose covered with bright red berries, and handed it to him: "Take it."

"What?" Saul didn't respond for a moment.

"What are you still doing in a daze, send it quickly." The maid urged.

Only then did Sol notice that he was wearing the clothes of a waiter, and he was about to run away with a guilty promise.Unexpectedly, the maid stopped him and brought another tray of wine: "This is Pang Lain's dwarf ale, take it with you."

Afraid of revealing his identity, Sol didn't dare to ask where the banquet was held, and quickly slipped out of the kitchen with the plate in hand.Outside the kitchen is a wide corridor, the floor is covered with a bright red carpet, and the ends cannot be seen.

Looking left and right, Sol couldn't make up his mind which way to go, just at this moment another waiter came out of the kitchen with a plate of food, and Sol quickly followed him to the right.

The two walked forward, and after turning a few turns, there was faint music coming from the front, and the number of heavily armed soldiers gradually increased, and soon a beautifully decorated door appeared at the end of the corridor, behind which there must be a banquet hall.

Aiming for a gap, Sol suddenly turned around and flashed into a fork in the corridor. The waiter in front didn't notice, so he pushed open the door and walked in.

This corridor was empty, with a room on either side of it, the door of which was closed.Sol walked to a door and listened, then carefully opened the door, but there was no one in the room.

There was nothing else in the room except a simple bed and a table, and it seemed to be a room for the servants to rest.The moonlight shines in from the small window on the wall, barely able to see things.

"Huh..." Sol breathed a sigh of relief, put the two trays on the table, grabbed the roast goose and ate it honestly.

Although he was not doing any shady business, he was also very nervous along the way.When you enter the banquet hall, you can only look at the delicious food and sigh. Of course, you have to take advantage of this time to fill your stomach.

In a moment, half of the roast goose had fallen into the stomach. Sol patted his belly and hiccupped viciously. He grabbed the bottle of ale and poured it into his mouth.However, the posture of drinking with his head up suddenly stopped. Half a second later, he spit out all the wine in his mouth, and coughed violently while covering his throat.

"Damn it, is this wine or alcohol?" Thor's face flushed, as expected of the dwarves' famous spirits, with an astonishingly high alcohol content.

It took him a long time to recover, and he was about to pick up the plate and go out when the door suddenly rang twice, as if someone was about to come in.Sol was startled, and rolled and hid under the bed in a hurry.

After a while, the door opened and several people entered the room.According to the number of feet, there are four people, but what is strange is that two pairs of feet are dragging weakly on the ground, as if they are being supported by the other two.

With a bang, the two had been thrown to the ground. From Sol's point of view, they were two waiters, but they had passed out.One of the two people who were still standing suddenly said, "It's strange, why is there food and wine here?"

Sol was shocked, and he hid in a hurry, not having time to clean up the table, so as not to be discovered.At the same time, I was also surprised that this voice seemed to have been heard somewhere.

Another old voice said: "The goose has been eaten, and it's cold, and the wine has been drunk. It seems that this is the room where the servants rest, and it should be their unfinished dinner. Don't worry about it, change it quickly." clothes."

As the two of them knelt down and began to undress the two waiters, Sol looked strangely under the bed. Could it be that there are still people who came in and peeked at the elves like themselves?But because the angle of view was too low, he couldn't see the opponent's appearance.

Soon the two waiters were stripped naked, and the other party hurriedly changed into their clothes.After a while, the old voice said: "Stay according to the plan, I have stuffed the wind magic spar in this cake, and you will pretend to serve the food and get close to the elves in a while, and steal the chant while I'm in a mess when I activate the magic." The earth scepter of the hunter. Tonight is the last chance, if we let her reach the capital, it will be even more difficult for us to do so."

Another young voice said, "Don't worry, Master."

Suddenly Thor knew the identity of the other party, they were the pair of assassin master and apprentice who had come to snatch his magic core.I didn't expect to meet two more people here, they seemed to be planning the elf singer's idea.

Not long after the two masters and apprentices left, Sol rolled out from under the bed, looking at the two waiters on the ground, Sol scratched his head: "Safety first, safety first, I'd better not go into this muddy water."

However, after taking two steps, he slapped his head fiercely: "No, the beauty is in trouble, how can I sneak away? Besides, it's better to watch the excitement from the side. Hehe, elf beauty, here I come."

After making up his mind, he didn't care so much, grabbed the ale on the table and stuffed it into his arms, then opened the door and left.

************************************************** ***********************
Pushing open the door, Sol only felt a buzzing in his ears, already filled with countless huge voices composed of music, talking and laughing, whispering and footsteps.In front of his eyes was a brilliant golden wall, figures in gorgeous clothes were swaying back and forth, but for a moment he couldn't see anything clearly.

Sol quickly shook his head to draw back his attention, and finally got a panoramic view of the scene in the hall.The entire banquet hall is very spacious, and there are several gorgeous chandeliers with hundreds of candles hanging from the ceiling, reflecting the hall like daytime.Elegant ladies and gentlemen whirled and danced crazily with the music, and waiters carrying fine wines walked nimbly among the crowd, creating a scene of drunkenness and fascination.

With people coming and going, Sol couldn't find the pair of assassin master and apprentice, let alone he didn't know what the other party looked like.But he kept the old man's words in mind, as long as he was close to the elves, he would have a chance.

Taking the tray from a waiter beside him casually, Sol flashed into the crowd under the astonished eyes of the other side.In order to welcome the chanter of the elves, the banquet was held extremely luxuriously, and the long table piled up with countless exquisite foods was tens of meters long, making Sol wonder if the host of the banquet used all the food in the city to show off.

It really is different to be rich, Lovell can only hold an open-air BBQ at best, and it still makes him feel bad.Sol was thinking jealously while looking for traces of the elves in the crowd.

Soon he found the target. In the corner of the banquet hall, several beauties of the elves sat behind a table surrounded by a person, which was extremely inconsistent with the noisy environment here.

When he saw the elf sitting there for the first time, Thor could be sure of the identity of the other party.She looks very young, with pale green hair hanging down her shoulders like silk, and her exposed ear tips are like two ivory elves.Her facial features are like works of art shaped by the gods, perfectly showing a peerless appearance, and her eyes are bright and penetrating, reflecting everything outside as clearly as a moonlight fountain.

The woman wore a soft gown embroidered with ivy and laurel, and the long skirt was spread to the floor, but it was spotless.The two exposed arms are slender and beautiful, like a piece of pure white jade carving.

She sat there quietly, as if she was in a banquet, but also seemed to be out of it at all, giving people a strange and unreal feeling. As Rubens said, her unique temperament is more important than her beauty. is really impressive stuff.

Several men dressed as aristocrats surrounded her, talking constantly, and she listened quietly with a smile on her face.Although she didn't express anything, Sol could feel that she didn't want to stay here.

Is this the chanter of the elves?Sol was secretly intoxicated, no wonder Rubens would never forget, to see this unique beauty, tonight's adventure is worth it.

Just then, a waiter caught Sol's attention.He moved briskly among the crowd, always intentionally or unintentionally covering himself with other people's bodies, blocking his face with the raised tray so that no one could see his appearance, and slowly walked towards the elves' table go.

Thinking of the conversation heard in the room, Thor became vigilant and collected himself, and he also walked towards the singer.Whether it is useful or not, he has decided to try his best to help this elf beauty whom he met for the first time.

With the elf's table as the center, Sol and the waiter kept approaching from left to right.The noisy crowd around them provided them with good cover, and in such an environment, the actions of a single person would not arouse anyone's vigilance.

However, elves are naturally sensitive creatures. Just as the waiter was about to approach the table, two elf waitresses turned their heads to look at him at the same time.Sol walked a little slower, turned around quickly when he saw this, and didn't dare to approach again for a while.

"What are you doing?" an elf waitress asked, she spoke the standard common language of the mainland, which was crisp and pleasant.

"Your fruit." Taking the opportunity to put the tray on the table, the waiter approached calmly.He kept his head down all the time, and he didn't show his face until now.

Several nobles around the chanter also noticed him, and one of them waved his hand impatiently: "Go down."

The waiter replied: "Yes." But he didn't leave.

Thor had recognized him as the apprentice assassin from his voice, and he hesitated for a moment whether to warn him when he was not doing anything, and at this moment the strange changes began.

A gust of wind suddenly rose from the crowd in the hall, countless food cups and plates flew around in an instant, and dozens of men and women who were caught off guard fell around like gourds, knocking over countless tables and chairs.The banquet hall, which was originally orderly, suddenly became chaotic.

The wind suddenly picked up, and the unknown nobles were terrified. They didn't know what happened. The women screamed in vain, the men pushed each other, and the chaos spread rapidly.

The elves were also stunned. During the few seconds of confusion, the waiter acted.Like a puff of light weightless smoke, he passed through the elf maids with lightning speed and rushed straight towards the chanter.

Elves are natural archers and elemental magicians, but they are not good fighters. Although they have keen senses, they cannot make quick judgments on unexpected situations.So when the waiter rushed up, they just looked at him in surprise and didn't move at all.

There was a smile on the corner of the waiter's mouth, and his hand was already grabbing a flute length around the singer's waist, which looked like a short staff made of tangled green vines.

Thor took out a sip of the dwarf's ale, puffed his cheeks, and held a candle that was shaking in the strong wind in his hand.When the waiter approached the singer, he put the candle to his mouth and opened his mouth to spray it.

The mist formed by the spirits was ignited by the flames, and under Thor's spray, it rushed towards the waiter from the side like a fire dragon.Never expecting someone to stop him at this time, the waiter was taken aback, and instinctively backed away in front of the fire dragon gradually filling his vision.

It's only half a second, but everything is decided.The chanter who reacted suddenly took off the short staff around his waist, whispered a few spells in Elvish language, and amidst a flash of bright green light, the short staff suddenly stretched out, turning into a A strange staff with a green body and a huge crystal ball supported by three green leaves at the top.

The chanter aimed his staff at the waiter, and at the same time several strands of green vines had spread from the ground and rushed towards him.At this time, the waiter was in a hurry because of the fire sprayed by Sol, and he couldn't dodge for a while, and he was about to be entangled by green vines.

At the very moment, a figure rushed up from the side and pushed the waiter away. At the same time, the green vines rolled up the legs of the comer and quickly wrapped around him.

This is an old man with white beard and hair dressed as a waiter. He should be the master Jialin among the assassins.He seemed to know the power of the green vine, he didn't struggle, and was tightly entangled in a moment.

"Apprentice, we missed." Jialin sighed and said to the waiter who was pushed away by him.

The young waiter shrugged: "Who told you to always do these difficult tasks." Most of the candles in the chandelier were blown out, and the hall was flickering, making it difficult to see his appearance clearly.

Jialin said angrily: "Nonsense, we are top assassins, how can we steal those rags and surrender ourselves!"

The young waiter didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "But this time even you were taken in, what should we do?"

Jia Lin said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, your master won't die. You run quickly, remember to rescue me as soon as possible."

The conversation between the two of them like no one else was there, it didn't seem like the matter was revealed, and one of them was captured, but it seemed that Jialin just fell and could be picked up by his apprentice at any time.

The young waiter nodded and didn't say much, just stepped back into the darkness behind him and disappeared.Jialin was even more straightforward, and sat cross-legged on the ground wrapped in green vines all over his body, with a proud face.

The elven chanter did not stop the young assassin from leaving, but turned to Sol and said, "Thank you for your help just now. I am Atria, the chanter of the elven kingdom. May I ask who are you?"

At this time, the hall was still full of strong winds and chaos. The nobles just now were lying under the table trembling with their heads in their arms, and no one noticed what happened here.

Her voice was gentle and elegant, like a breeze blowing through the treetops, it was so comfortable to hear, that Sol's bones were almost brittle.Fortunately, he finally has a sliver of wisdom, knowing that it is not suitable to stay here for a long time.

Now that the beauties have also seen it, and the limelight has also come out, if I don't leave now, when will I wait?If those nobles found out that the dignified Lord Lovell actually disguised himself as a waiter and sneaked in to peek at the elf singers, let alone whether it would cause diplomatic incidents, it might bring a lot of trouble to the Blue Wolf Mercenary Group.

"I'm just a nameless prodigal son, please don't ask my name." Sol put on a melancholy pose.

Apparently, she had never encountered such a situation before, and Atria blinked blankly, her face full of confusion.After a while, she hesitated and said, "You..."

"I am the wind, I am the cloud, I am the floating duckweed." Sol took a step back, his face full of vicissitudes: "When the beauty is in trouble, I will appear, and after the incident, I wave my clothes Sleeve, don't take a single cloud with you."

"So..." Without waiting for Atria to speak, he turned around suddenly: "Goodbye, hahahahaha..."

Seeing Saul laughing loudly, pulling open a door next to him and rushing away, it took Atria a while to recover: "I mean, your clothes are on fire..."

At the same time, Thor's exclamation came from behind the door: "Wow, what bastard set fire to my ass!?"

At this time, several elf maids worked together to disperse the strong wind, and the chaotic hall finally calmed down.But in a short while, the whole banquet was completely disrupted, the cups and plates were messed up on the floor, the tables and chairs were overturned, and the well-dressed nobles were in a mess, but most of them were caused by their trampling on each other.

"Just, what happened just now?" Several nobles who were hiding under the table also crawled out.

"There are thieves who want to steal my Earth Staff. They were the ones who caused the strong wind just now. I have already caught one." Atria calmly pointed to Jialin who was sitting on the ground.

"Thief?" A short and fat noble man said with a grim expression, "What are those guards doing to let a thief sneak in?"

He walked up to Jialin: "Say, who sent you here?"

Jia Lin looked disdainful: "You are not qualified to let me speak."

"You..." The nobleman turned livid with anger, and he pointed at Jialin, "Believe it or not... Wow!" But Jialin opened his mouth and bit his finger honestly.

"I, my finger, you still don't let go." The noble was sweating profusely from the pain, but he didn't dare to struggle hard.

The people around were shocked, and hurried forward to help. It took a long time to pull out the nobleman's hand, but his fingers were already dripping with blood.At this time, many guards rushed over upon hearing the news, and the nobleman grabbed a guard's long sword and rushed towards Jialin: "You untouchable, I will kill you!"

"My lord, please calm down." Atria stopped him: "There must be someone behind this person, please allow me to take him to the capital for questioning slowly, and find out who is behind the scenes."

When Atria spoke, the city lord had no choice but to throw down the long sword angrily: "You are lucky."

Following him, he said to Atria with a flattering face: "What happened tonight was my negligence, please don't take it to heart, in front of the king..."

"Don't worry." Atria nodded: "Then, I will leave first."

"Yes, you really have a lot of adults." The city lord was overjoyed and hurriedly followed.

At this time Sol had slipped out of the city lord's mansion, quickly took off the waiter's clothes and ran towards the door.Hearing the movement in the mansion, Rubens and the mercenaries all gathered at the door and asked to enter, but were stopped by the guards of the city lord.

When he came to the crowd, Saul deliberately asked, "What's going on?"

Rubens said angrily: "Something happened inside, but these guys stopped us. I'm so mad."

At this time, a mercenary shouted: "We are ordered to protect the safety of the elves, why don't you let us in?"

A guard leader at the door said expressionlessly: "We will deal with the matter inside, you just have to wait outside obediently."

This is undoubtedly a great insult to the mercenaries. Many people made noises at the moment, but after all their status is low, they still dare not charge.

When the commotion was raging, Atria and her party came out.Surrounded by elf guards who rushed away after hearing the news, she was covered with a soft veil, and coupled with her moving figure, she added a mysterious beauty.

Seeing her, everyone involuntarily fell silent, while Saul quickly hid behind Rubens.Atria's beautiful eyes outside the veil turned around among the crowd, and then a slight disappointment flashed across them.

"Thank you very much. Your loyalty will be blessed by the God of War." She saluted slightly: "But it's all right now, everyone please go back."

The mercenaries all showed moved expressions, and involuntarily parted ways to let Atria board the carriage, and then escorted the carriage and drove away from the City Lord's Mansion, heading for the residence of the elves.

In the mercenary team, Sol, who was looking at Atria's carriage, scratched his head involuntarily: "Well, I always feel like I did something bad... Forget it, leave him alone."

Wangdu, here I come.

******************************************************************************
"Here we are, that is the holy city of Dusk, the royal capital."

Sol walked to the top of the slope, looked in the direction of Rubens' finger, and immediately saw a magnificent scene that he would never forget in his life.

Under the hillside, on the vast wilderness, a majestic giant city unfolded in front of everyone.It is roughly round and has a radius of tens of miles. The Gangli River, which originated from the northern wilderness, passes through the city. The river is wide and sparkling, like a shining jade belt in the city.The city wall was wide and majestic, even though it was far away, Sol could still feel the oppressive feeling of being under it, and the flag of the Dinard royal family could still be faintly seen fluttering in the wind on the top of the wall.

There are countless houses in the city, and the domes of many tall buildings stand tall like sharp swords, forming a magnificent and exquisite scene in the field of vision.A wide street runs through the city vertically and horizontally, like a striking cross. This may be one of the reasons why the capital of the kingdom is called the Holy City.

Most of the buildings in the city are mainly white, and the city walls are also made of white rocks. Therefore, standing on the sidelines and watching from a distance, the entire king's capital appears a holy white.That kind of majestic white, like the Gosmed snow mountain connecting the sky and the earth, makes people feel awe.

The blue sky is thousands of miles away, with a few white clouds drifting slowly by. Sol looked at the holy city, and was stunned by its majesty and majesty for a moment.

Rubens watched with him for a while: "Everyone has this expression when they see the capital for the first time. Although I have been here many times, I will always be amazed."

Saul nodded in understanding, and Rubens said at this time: "The memorial ceremony will start in 5 days. It must be very lively in the capital now. Look at the convoys entering the city."

Outside the city gates on the east, west, and south sides, a large number of motorcades lined up in a black line. Although it was hard to see clearly from a distance, Sol could already imagine what a busy scene it was.

"Let's go, try to enter the city before dusk, and we can break up there." Rubens patted Sol on the shoulder and walked down the slope.

Glancing at the capital again, Sol also turned and left.

This was the third day after they left Cotton City, and the group arrived in the capital as scheduled.As Rubens said, after leaving Cotton City, Atria was protected by the elves every night when she slept in the open. The mercenaries could only camp outside, and they were not even qualified to approach. Sol never saw her again. Atria glanced.

After another half day of trekking, they finally arrived outside the capital.Standing under the tens of meters high city wall and looking at the forest-like building spiers exposed behind the wall, Sol once again felt the magnificence of the city.

The chanter's convoy was welcomed into the city by the royal guard of honor who had been waiting for a long time, while the mercenary group Sol and the others stayed obediently to accept the interrogation of the city gate guards, and they could only enter the city after being registered in the register.

While several guards were counting the personnel and weapons and equipment of the Blue Wolf Mercenary Group, Saul walked to the city gate bored, looking left and right to pass the time.Suddenly, an exclamation sounded next to his ear: "Stinky boy, why are you here?"

"?" Sol raised his head strangely.

A knight stepped out of the guards at the city gate and strode towards him.This is a young man who is about the same age as Sol, handsome, handsome yet heroic, with shiny blond hair tied back casually, a few strands of hair hanging down his cheeks, quite bohemian.

He is tall, wearing a well-made armor, making a light clicking sound as he walks, with a long sword hanging on his side, he is really handsome and talented, walking on the street is definitely a figure that will cause women to scream .

When he came to Sol, the young man grabbed his shoulder and looked left and right, and then punched him: "It really is you, I heard that your kid was attacked by robbers and disappeared, why did you enter the city with these mercenaries? "

Sol was beaten to the point of grimacing, but he didn't dare to ask who he was. The lesson he learned when he first arrived in Lovell is still deep in his memory. Maybe this is another guy who has been in contact with his "main body".

Dazed for a moment, he also pretended to be surprised, and punched back: "I still have to ask you, brat, why are you here?"

The other party did not doubt it, and sighed: "You think I think so? Ever since you dropped out of school, the academy has been meaningless. It just so happened that my father recruited me back, so I became the deputy captain of the Royal Capital Guard."

As he said that, he became excited again: "Hey, Walsa also entered the city yesterday, but it's a pity that kid Gein was left by his father on the northern border to monitor the orcs, otherwise our four brothers could gather together again."

Sol was in a daze, of course he didn't understand what he was talking about, but he just vaguely knew that besides this guy, there were two other people named Walsa and Gein who seemed to have a good relationship with him.

What else can he do?He could only pretend to be extremely surprised: "Wolsa is here too? Hahaha... Alas, it's a pity for that boy Gein, hahaha... But our four brothers, you know, hahaha..."

The young knight couldn't stop laughing. Although Sol was confused, he could only laugh along with him. The two hung their voices at the gate of the city like a drake, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

After laughing for a while, the young knight asked again: "You haven't said anything yet, why are you here?"

Sol had no choice but to repeat the nonsense he had lied to Rubens, and the young knight sneered after hearing this: "Your life was the biggest in the past. When we went out to mess around, you didn't get out of your body? So I don't believe that you will have an accident. Look, guess right."

As he said that, he approached Sol, and the expression on his face suddenly became extremely wretched: "Hey, these mercenary groups are to protect the elven chanters, you boy won't have already taken her when he was still in glory, right? Hehehe ..." After speaking, he laughed lowly.

Sol was secretly startled when he heard that, he knew that his "main body" was famous, so it must not be a good bird to call him a brother and brother. The young knight suddenly changed from a righteous face to this appearance, and he really couldn't adapt to it for a while.

With a wry smile, Sol hesitated and said, "Don't be kidding, I haven't even seen her face."

The knight sighed: "It's no wonder that those elves are beautiful, but they are as rigid as a stone. But..." His voice suddenly lowered: "This time our four brothers have reached the third level, do you want to try this difficult one?" What about the challenge? Quack quack quack..."

Sol had no choice but to keep laughing at him, and the extremely cheap laughter of the two immediately attracted another look.

At this time, the inspection by the Blue Wolf Mercenary Group was over, and the young knight waved his hand: "Okay, let them pass."

Following him, he said to Sol: "I still have a task to do, so I won't accompany you. The people from Lovell just entered the city the day before yesterday, and they stayed at the Fire Spirit Hotel on North Street. I will bring Walsa to you tonight. Let's have a good time...hehehe..."

Facing the young knight's suggestive smile of "you know what we're going to do", Sol could only pretend to understand, and was finally able to get away.

God, I seem to have a lot of "acquaintances" I don't know, and I'm afraid the days ahead will be difficult.

After entering the city, Rubens suddenly walked up to Saul: "Are you familiar with him?"

Sol was taken aback, only nodded and said: "Hey, let's play big together, what do you think?"

Rubens glanced at him with deep meaning: "It is no wonder that you dare to take in those refugees from the Lulin Empire unscrupulously if you can climb up to this level of relationship. I thought you were just a poor lord of a small place. It seems that you underestimated you." gone."

Sol couldn't understand why, from Rubens' tone, the young knight seemed to have a lot of background, but he couldn't ask who he was, it was really hard work.

Patting Sol on the shoulder, Rubens smiled and said, "We still have to go to the Adventurer's Guild to deliver the mission, let's break up here, and I will send someone to take you to the Fire Elf Hotel."

As he said that, he smiled: "I will ask you to take care of me in the future, Mr. Saul."

Seeing the blue wolf mercenary group gradually go away, Sol stood on the street full of emotions for a moment.Suddenly, he realized that he was not the real Saul Lovell after all, so how many unexpected things would he encounter in this city?

"My lord, can I go?" the mercenary left behind by Rubens said at this time.

Sol woke up from his daze and nodded quickly, and the two walked towards North Street.Thinking of seeing Jessica and the others soon, Sol's heart warmed up again.

After all, the royal capital is a royal capital, and it really cannot be compared with other cities.Sol was walking on the wide avenue, and pedestrians were shoulder to shoulder. Many people could clearly see that they were foreigners from their clothes. There were also many alien creatures passing by. Sol had never seen many of them in the tournament in Ferry City. .

The buildings on both sides of the street are very tall. Although they are not as small and lovely as the town of Lovell, they reveal a sense of solemnity, which is very suitable for the identity of the royal capital.There are many shops on both sides, magic shops, weapon shops, equipment shops, etc. one after another, and there are even shops that specialize in selling monsters. The loud roar of monsters in the shops adds to the lively atmosphere of the street.

The streets of Wangdu are clean and tidy. Many forked roads extend from both sides of the main street, forming a complex street system like a spider web in Wangdu. Numerous alleys form another world beyond the main street.Every not far from the street, there is a tall pole with a glass ball hanging on the top. According to the mercenary's introduction, it contains the fragments left over from mining magic crystals. These fragments will be lit by a special person every night. , when viewed from a height, the entire capital will be brightly lit, which is another great spectacle.

Sol, who has seen the bustling modern city, is naturally not interested in this. Instead, he focuses on the characters and scenery on both sides. Walking through a street is equivalent to being baptized by the prosperity and civilization of this world.

Not long after arriving at the destination, the mercenary pointed out to him the location of the Fire Elf Hotel, and then left.

Sol walked outside the hotel alone, and just as he was about to cross the street, he saw Jessica walking out of the shop with Marlene.Although he hadn't seen them for more than half a month, Sol still felt like a world away when he saw them.

Raising her eyes, Marlene suddenly saw Sol across the street. She rubbed her eyes in disbelief, and immediately pulled Jessica to point this way.Meeting Sol's eyes, Jessica was stunned for a moment.

The two looked at each other across the street, and the pedestrians seemed to be completely non-existent in their eyes. At this moment, Marlene burst into tears and ran towards Saul crying.

At this moment, he knew that he had really reached his destination.
