Starfall 834, October 15.

On the outskirts of the main city of Moldavia, a floating airship laden with gifts slowly landed in an open lifting field built with magic, and the turbulent air currents accompanied by the sound of the Wind Elemental Magic Furnace were running, blowing away the dust and frost scattered on the ground.

Since the arrival of the magic tide, the small problems such as the 'insufficient pressure of the magic furnace core', which plagued the popularization of floating airships by the Imperial Royal Technical Association, have disappeared with the wind, and in the concentration of elements several times that is several times that of the past, even the magic furnace made of the cheapest materials can provide enough power for the huge airship, so in less than half a year, it is not only the birds that can fly freely in the sky, but also the steel creations that belong to humans.

Under the instructions of the ground guides, the floating airship that had just landed had been steadily docked in the lifting field, and white air columns were discharged from the pod area near the hearth, and the incomparably exquisite magic energy equipment inside could be heard gradually stopping and expelling excess magic elements. If you are a person who knows the goods, you can know from this smooth and non-murmurous pressure relief sound that this small airship that is less than 100 meters long is using the most expensive [Brilliant Class] third-generation booster furnace that does not cut corners at all.

Albert Warner stepped out of the airship with the help of his servants, the wind blowing the corners of his coat and swaying, and the gray-haired old nobleman pressed against his chest, where there was a delicate golden coat of arms.

Means the coat of arms of the Imperial Royal Ambassador.

The seemingly aged Imperial Ambassador refused the continued support of his servants, and he walked down the airship staircase, and Albert looked around the lifting field, where there were several other magical creations of various shapes in the empty and flat landing place.

- The starlight ship of the Far South Elves, the flying fortress of the dwarves, and the halo of holy light of the sacred mountains of the far sea.

It seems that he is not too late. An inconsequential thought flashed in the ambassador's heart, and he looked at these special magical creations of the major forces with curiosity for a while, because of the advent of the magic tide, the magic energy technology of almost all the forces has broken through several technical levels and bottlenecks, and the empire is also collecting information about these creations that are similar to the floating airship, but before Albert could see for long, the envoy team was already ready, and the group walked towards the main city not far away under the guidance of the guide of the Moldavian leader.

"Do you need a carriage to get around, Mr. Honorable Ambassador?"

Before leaving, a young guide in a black uniform asked respectfully, "We have been prepared for a long time, so we don't need to mind." ”

"No, no, I want to see the scenery of Moldavia along the way."

Gently rejecting the other party's kindness, Albert really wanted to see with his own eyes what the city had become the center of the whole public opinion, as a nobleman who was known for his carefulness and prudence, he clearly understood that the character of his lord could be seen in the details of a territory.

Joshua Van Radcliffe, that was the target of his visit, and before meeting the young legend, the ambassador wanted to know more about him.

A new rocky avenue was built between the airship lift and the main city of Moldavia, and the solid rock solidified by magic was enough to support an ironclad mountain dragon running wildly on it, and the small number of envoys walked slowly on the avenue, allowing Albert to clearly observe the current situation around the main city.

- The city is expanding.

With just a glance, the experienced ambassador could tell that the city was undergoing a massive expansion, and in the open space around the city, many workers in strange overalls were busy leveling the ground and digging the foundations, and the rudiments of the roads had been magically planned, which would be the prototype of the main roads in the future. It could be seen that one or two buildings that were built faster had already been repaired, and noticing Albert's eyes, the young guide explained with a smile: "This is the knight branch of Wintercastle Academy, and the lord said that the expansion of the city is centered on the academy, the hospital, and the magic energy factory, so they were completed relatively early. ”

Nodding his head in understanding, Albert couldn't help but glance at the building that had been repaired.

Wintercastle Academy, an academy headed by Nostradamus, the president of the Imperial Royal Mage Guild, how could he not know? But when will this Civilian Mage Academy also have a branch of the Knight Department? No, since there is a knightly department, then naturally there will also be warriors, alchemy, theology...... There may not be so many, but it certainly means that the scale of this academy, which is not favored by the nobles of the imperial capital, is much more than that.

Is there really enough money, or is it some kind of compromise?

With this news in mind, Mr. Ambassador's eyes narrowed, and soon he came to the city gate.

"Shhhh

The sudden chill swept by, Albert shivered, and couldn't help but take a step back, and behind him, the entourage and servants were even more unbearable, and they all looked a little weak on their feet. The well-informed old nobleman glanced at the seemingly unremarkable steel gates in disbelief, and he seemed to sense something when he looked at the tall and sturdy walls around him, which seemed to have been renovated not long ago.

"Our negligence, Mr. Ambassador, since this will be the inner part of the new main city, the generous lord used the keel as a beam frame a few days ago to have the engineers renovate this part of the wall." The young guide hurriedly sent someone to support those who were a little unsteady on their feet, and said with a hint of apology: "I'm really sorry, because it's a recent thing, and we locals are also used to Longwei, so I really didn't think about it......"

“…… It's okay, it's me who lost my temper. ”

Taking the Awakening Nose Bottle from the hand of his entourage and sniffing it, Albert's heart shook, although he had long known the name of the lord's dragon slayer, but he didn't expect that it was so extravagant that he would use dragon bones to strengthen the city wall, how many dragons did Joshua kill to have so many dragon bones?

And what is even more surprising is the words of this guide - what is called that the locals are used to Longwei, can Longwei still get used to it?! This is the coercion released by a powerful creature at the top of the biological chain, unless you can see a dragon every day, how can you get used to it!

Albert Warner is one of the real power figures of the Warner family, he has represented many forces and countries in the Northern Empire, compared to the mother tree of life of the Far South elves, the lava fortress of the dwarves, the main city of Moldavia is actually not so shocking, even if it is to strengthen the city wall with a dragon bone, it is only a luxury for him, but he also knows that this city was just the main city of an earldom before.

Almost twenty years ago, when the previous generation of Northland Earls was still there, Albert also came to Moldavia once, and although the main city at that time was not dilapidated, it was absolutely prosperous, and the old nobles really didn't expect that in just twenty years, the time of a generation of lords, the whole city would change so much.

With a sigh in his heart, Albert entered the city.

The sound of footsteps in the crowd was a testament to the city's prosperity, and the city's many adventurers and new settlers brought the city to life as winter approached, not to mention the fact that engineers were renovating old buildings.

"The main city is undergoing a complete renovation."

The guide took the initiative to explain that he was very proud of it: "The old sewers, the broken streets, the Akashi lamps, and the old buildings that are more than 300 years old, we have not been able to renovate them in a certain order, but they are very fast, and if Mr. Ambassador comes back in a few months, we will definitely complete the renovation." ”

"It's very good, indeed."

Nodding slightly, Albert felt that the enchanted ring on his left hand was warning him - this meant that one or more magic circles were watching him at this time, but the old nobles who had lived in the imperial capital for a long time were not surprised by this, as the residence of a legendary powerhouse, it was normal for the main city of Moldavia to be shrouded by magic circles at all times.

"Then go ahead and lead the way."

Saying this, Albert smiled, "Slow down, I want to take a slow look at the city." ”

"Yes, sir."

The envoys continued on their way, and for very low-key reasons, no crowd noticed the slow group of men and horses, walking on the granite stone path, which had been replaced with a solid one, and Albert could not help but sigh with some emotion.

How much money does it cost to expand a city? That's an astronomical amount that would make even the great nobles dizzy, and this kind of project will take a dozen years, if not decades, to go slowly, unless the noble family that rules the city has hundreds of years of savings.

Do the Radcliffe family have this savings? Of course not, but its current ruler, Joshua, is a legendary powerhouse.

That trumps everything.

As early as the imperial capital, the old nobles had heard that this famous young legend had turned a large area of the Black Forest around the Great Ajax Mountains to ashes, and relocated his family cemetery on a mountain peak there, as the new apex of the Moldavian Territory, overlooking the entire Northland, and if this kind of project were to be done by ordinary knights, it would take hundreds or more lives to exterminate the monsters in the Black Forest alone, and the cost would be innumerable.

But it only took Joshua ten minutes to complete all the tedious work.

Thinking so, Albert and the others walked all the way, and came to the perimeter of the lord's mansion.

And a large group of clergy seemed to have known the news of the arrival of the envoy corps and waited here.

Without waiting for Albert to ask suspiciously, why the church personnel were here, the amplitude magic calculated by hundreds and tens fell on him like this.
