Most of the people's eyes were closed at a touch, and they didn't really look at the warriors, and now there are tens of thousands of people around the imperial capital, how can they have time to pay attention to the strangers around them, and the small number of people who have spent a little bit of thought have subconsciously gathered on No. 3 and Brandon and others.

"His Majesty, the God of Power, is not late, He is always watching us."

After hearing Joshua's joke, the blonde swordsman immediately took on a colder joke, and fortunately there were no fanatics around them, otherwise there would be another mess. After greeting each other, Joshua looked at the two in front of him.

Brandon and Verdani were both dressed in simple white and dark blue, respectively, and they seemed to be talking about love in front of the Northland portal, and they only came after noticing the arrival of the warrior and the others. There was no one else around them, and neither of their daughters had brought them, so they thought they should have stayed in the territory and asked someone to help take care of them.

Brandon has had a lot more time since he advanced in the Moldovan ruins, and even lived in Moldova for months on end, the strictness of the Kaos family is only for those who don't meet the requirements, and the blonde swordsman, as a promising and unrelenting genius, now has some privileges, after all, legends are not something that can be reached by retreat.

Since Joshua had spoken to Brandon and the others before the celebration, they didn't talk much now—there was nothing to say, could it be that the warriors had advanced again? There was nothing to talk about with the Chosen One, and they walked away, so everyone didn't waste much time, and walked slowly towards the Three Mountains Holy City on the top of the mountain.

"To prevent enemy raids. There are wide-area space-time anchors around the imperial capital that suppress all space-time spells, except for the backdoor that Master Nostradamus left for himself, it is basically difficult for all mages to open the portal here, and even if it is opened, the space-time coordinates will be chaotic, so you can only walk in to enter the imperial capital. ”

For some reason, Verdani's appearance is still the same as that of a girl around fourteen or fifteen, and at a glance it looks similar to Hotaru and No. 3 beside Joshua, and the countess looked at the strange artificial intelligence sitting on the warrior's shoulder with interest, and then began to introduce it again: "You should also know all this, but when the original celebration was held, because there were too many people, the master would open a small teleportation shortcut to some people who could afford to pay the price, but now——"

At this point, Brandon took over, and he said in a rather indifferent tone: "Now that the master and His Majesty the Emperor have mysteriously disappeared, we can only go over. ”

Although it was said that Israel and Nostradamus were missing, the two of them did not have any anxious tones, and it seemed that they should have known the whereabouts of these two people for a long time. Joshua didn't think it was strange, after all, one was a genius swordsman admired by the emperor, and he was also the pillar of the royal nobles, the next heir of the Kaos family, he must know some information, while the other was simply a student of Nostradamus, and he probably knew the whereabouts of his teacher from the beginning.

"So what's the situation inside the imperial capital now?"

Holding Hotaru in one hand and straightening No. 3 on his shoulder with the other, the warrior asked with interest, "Did those nobles make any trouble, and is there any news in the Morlay Palace?" ”

"That's not true, it's a smart person who is in charge of the affairs of the palace today, and Queen Edna hasn't done anything, so no one else dares to make any moves."

Verdani shrugged slightly, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked up at the top of the mountain: "But without the mountain above your head, those people should also appreciate how wonderful it feels to not have a legend on their heads...... I'm not talking about you. ”

Everyone chatted like this, whether it was Joshua or the swordsman and his wife, they were very casual, obviously different from the other nobles who looked a little nervous next to the portal, and this demeanor immediately attracted the attention of others, making many people pay attention to this group.

"The heir of the Kaos family and the count of Moldova...... a nobleman muttered, although the relationship between Brandon and Verdani was not widely advertised, it was not a secret to those who had a heart, so he was not surprised by the intimate gesture of the two, and then, this person's eyes swept over the other group of people around the two, and his breath was stagnant, and he was covered in a cold sweat.

- Earl Radcliffe!

- The newborn legendary warrior!

When did he come?! Why didn't anyone find out?! The nobleman subconsciously took a few steps back, and then he barely calmed down, but his movements were still noticed by others, so more and more people looked curiously in the direction where the warrior and the others were, this time their vision was not blocked by Brandon, so they all trembled and subconsciously took a step back.

It's Joshua Van Radcliffe! The terrifying demon who is rumored to have torn dozens of dragons with his bare hands! When did he appear in the Imperial Capital?! Many nobles who had obviously paid attention to this direction before seemed to have just discovered Joshua's existence, and they were extremely shocked.

This peculiar reaction is not surprising.

In order not to attract attention, Joshua has been pondering the secret method of hiding his own aura during the period after receiving the ambassadors of various countries, but no matter how he experiments, there will always be a circle of coercion like an aura around his body, and within this coercive circle that is at least a few tens of meters away, even the Extreme Blue Dragon like Sukrash will express that he feels palpitations, not to mention other ordinary people.

According to Sukrash's analysis, this is because the pressure on the warrior's body is too strong, as if a huge ice shelf hundreds of kilometers long fell into the sea, no matter how much it assimilates with the surrounding environment, it cannot be eliminated in a short time, but this well-informed Extreme Blue Dragon gave another suggestion - since it cannot be integrated with the surrounding environment, then it is better to simply close it completely.

The warrior felt that it was right, that assimilation with his surroundings was the path of the natural mentor, and that he did not necessarily need to do the same, so Joshua was constructing a body that closed his body. In this way, as long as he doesn't deliberately look at it, then even if he walks in the downtown area, it will not cause a commotion, but this method is a little bad, that is, after lifting the shell of this layer of restraint and coercion, the momentum that has been accumulated for a long time will be released in an instant, causing a spiritual shock that is far more terrifying than usual.

The result of the experiment in the Great Ajax Mountains was that the living creatures within a radius of dozens of kilometers were either stunned or desperately fled, and the accompanying Archbishop Atanis sighed that if the warriors had this ability, where would there be a Kuroshio or something, even if the monsters were cannibalistic or even jumping off the cliff, they would never dare to attack the Moldavian territory.

Although he was recognized at this time, Joshua didn't pay much attention to it, he continued to chat casually with Hotaru, No. 3 and Brandon, and then walked slowly down the long stairs towards the imperial capital at the top.

The other nobles who were slowly breaking away from the spiritual deterrence also gradually came back to their senses, and a nobleman who looked like he had entered middle age shook his head, cheering up his spirits, and then stared intently at the backs of the warriors and others, and muttered, "Who is the girl sitting on the shoulder of the Earl of Northland......

Why are you so bold? And there is also a person in the right hand, is it the female companion of this celebration?

"It's too small......" Beside him, a middle-aged nobleman with the same gray sideburns and sideburns muttered to himself, and said in a voice so light that only he could hear, "Does Earl Radcliffe like this?" ”

This is not a strange thing for the aristocracy, after all, you can get married at the age of fourteen in the Microf Continent (1), as long as you are willing to do it, even a scandal is not counted, except for the priesthood who will be a little reserved in this regard, no one will deliberately make things difficult for a big nobleman in this kind of matter, but these two middle-aged nobles are not feeling age.

"It's a lot worse in size...... It's just over the waist. ”

"No wonder I refused our invitation, I thought my daughter was just the right age, but I didn't expect it to be a little older......"

And just when similar discussions arose, and when Joshua's reputation was about to be killed, a mage in a white robe stood up. This mage is a mentor of the Imperial Capital's Noble Magic Academy, who once followed Master Nostradamus to the Northland to build the Space-Time Gate, and he had seen No. 3 when he was maintaining the portal on the top floor of the Lord's Palace, so he explained: "The girl sitting on the shoulders of Lord Count is not actually a real human, she is an artificial soul who leads the protective circle of the main city of Moldavia, in other words, an existence similar to the mage Tataring. ”

With this explanation, it is much easier to accept, many nobles nodded, they have not seen the tower spirit formation, and there is even such a person in the family of some nobles with good strength, these artificial souls will indeed be very close to the head of the family, after all, they are the key to ensuring the safe operation of some secret locations or important formations, and the reason why the Earl of the Northland also brought it to the celebration is probably because he wants to remotely control the formation of the Moldavian Territory, in case someone sneaks up on it, right? After all, I heard that the Five-Colored Dragons and the Cultists had never given up on taking revenge on the warrior who had sabotaged their key plans.

It's really cautious, and it deserves to be able to advance to a legend at such an age. Everyone sighed with emotion.

And unlike the vast majority of nobles who were thinking about whether to change a young girl from the clan as a marriage candidate, a nobleman who seemed to have dwarven blood and several middle-aged people around him who wore the family crest of the northwest nobles were like lightning strikes after seeing Joshua's figure, and they didn't move.

These nobles from the Feltao family and the Suward family were originally chatting about some matters of cooperation, but now they were all in no mood, and after looking at each other, they immediately quietly retreated at the same time, preparing to find a hidden corner to inform the family members who were already in the imperial capital to hide immediately and not meet with the Earl of the Northland.

Originally, this kind of ordinary spring celebration could not allow some great nobles and their descendants to leave the territory and come to the imperial capital belonging to His Majesty the Emperor. They have long been accustomed to their authority in their own territory, how can they like to pretend to be grandsons in front of Israel? But through some channels, many of the great nobles already know that there may be some amazing things happening in this celebration, although they don't know what it is, but there is no doubt that if they miss it, it is very likely that they will be slow in some major events, and a slow step is a slow step, in order to prevent this, many of the great nobles may not have come in person, but they have sent the number two person or the heir of the family to come and watch, and the Feltao family and the Suward family are naturally no exception.

But now that the warriors appeared, the two families who had a holiday with Joshua had to change their plans, and saw that in some aristocratic mansions in the imperial capital, some nobles sensed the notification of the communication device in their arms, so they looked down, and then their faces changed in unison, and then apologized to the other nobles who were attending the small party with apologies, and then left immediately.

The atmosphere in the entire imperial capital has undergone some minor changes because of the appearance of Joshua.

At this time, the warriors and his party had already entered the imperial capital, and none of the guards along the way, except for those at the city gate, came up to check their identities - jokes, the next head of the Kaos family, the countess of Moldova, and the legendary powerhouse who had recently become famous, they would only go crazy to check on such a big man.

"Let's go directly to the main hall of the Morlay Palace, we have a special place to watch the ceremony."

On the way, Brandon said, glancing at the streets of the imperial capital, then shrugged his shoulders and said, "You can also see, the atmosphere in the city is very oppressive now, and most of the locals stay at home except for tourists. ”

Joshua did sense this, now the celebration is about to begin, but Israel and Nostradamus have not returned, although most people know that His Majesty the Emperor will definitely come back before the celebration begins, but this feeling of gain and loss still makes them nervous, and there are many guys who have done some secret things in the months of Israel's absence are also terrified, they are not sure if what they have done will be discovered by His Majesty, but if it is really discovered, Then their family will definitely not end well.

There was not much to say along the way, and this year's celebration was much more dreary than ever, and even the tourists in the streets felt the atmosphere and did not dare to talk or laugh loudly, so the warriors and their party went straight to the Palazzo Morlai, and were then led by the attendants to the central hall.

The Spring Festival is actually a time-honored ritual that is rumored to have preceded the Seven Gods, from the previous era when people carved four pieces in the form of 'seeds', 'seedlings', 'adult plants' and ' The flawless jade of the wheat grain is placed in the palms of the four arms of the statue of the mother goddess of the earth, and the statue of the mother goddess of the earth is also particular, it must be made of natural iron ore raw ore, polished and carved by stone tools, and the feet of the mother goddess also need to be placed with soil from all over the world, so that the goddess will shelter the source of these soils.

Nowadays, the celebration is not so elaborate, most of the time only the emperor needs to take the stage and worship the earth under his feet according to the traditional ceremony.

After arriving at the central hall, Hotaru looked around with some curiosity, and No. 3, who had been very peaceful, also turned his head to look around, looking very interested in this strange but gorgeous decoration.

"Joshua, why don't we decorate the Lord's Mansion like this?"

Pointing to the luxurious and exquisite reliefs on the side of the hall and the conspicuous crystal decorations on it, No. 3 bowed his head slightly and whispered in Joshua's ear: "The decoration at home is so oppressive, how can you like that?" ”

“…… Why is my lord's palace so gorgeous as the Imperial Palace? ”

Most of the buildings of the Moldavian Lordship were designed by the clergy under the hands of the powerful gods four hundred years ago, when the ancestors of the Radcliffe family were friendly with the archbishop of St. Lauren's Cathedral, so the lord's house was also full of the unique religious solemnity style of that era, in general, it was extremely ascetic and oppressive, full of solemn but not beautiful sculptures, and the walls had a simple atmosphere of weapons hanging. Because of his personal hobby, the warrior also added a lot of first-level ornaments of his prey in the hall, and as soon as the stranger entered, he was afraid that he would be frightened by the hideous expressions of various beasts before he died, and the atmosphere was dozens of times more depressing than at the beginning.

It is also thanks to the tenacity of the attendants and maids of the lord's mansion, otherwise they would have collapsed insanely.

The time is close to noon, and the items needed for the spring celebration ceremony have already been prepared, and the number of people in the hall is quite small, only a dozen people, but they are all nobles, nobles who have received special invitations, and powerful professional spellcasters, just when Joshua chatted with No. 3, they all noticed the existence of Joshua and others, but because the atmosphere at this time was not good, many people made up their minds and prepared to wait until the ceremony was over, so they could have a good chat with this promising legendary warrior and establish a good relationship.

Of course, you can also introduce your own daughter by the way. Many people who felt that this legendary warrior did not seem to be as terrifying as the rumors thought so.

Time passed, accompanied by a burst of footsteps from the palace, several members of the royal family also came to the main hall in turn, and through the introduction of Brandon on his side, Joshua also learned the identity of the other party.

The sixth prince and the third princess, these two sisters and brothers who came from the same mother joined hands, followed by the blonde and blue-eyed seventh prince Alva and the seemingly inconspicuous second prince Di Moore, the atmosphere between these two people is not as good as the previous sister and brother, although the distance is not far, but there seems to be an invisible barrier in the middle.

- It seems that it did not come in order. Joshua thought so, and then the next one to appear was the Fourth Prince, a tall young man with a hint of Israel's shadow with a heavy face, as if he couldn't hide what was in his heart, he always looked anxiously at the vacant chairman, that is, the position reserved for Israel.

The emperor's long-term absence from the emperor not only made the hearts of the nobles of the imperial capital fluctuate, but also made the members of the royal family anxious.

And Verdani suddenly spoke: "Hey, is Empress Edna also participating in the celebration this time?" ”

She looked at the last woman with silver hair, a slender woman with golden eyes, and said in a low voice, "It's strange that she hasn't participated in a similar celebration for at least twelve years. ”

"This time, Her Majesty will not appear for a long time, she must come out to suppress the situation." Brandon felt nothing strange, he said to himself: "It seems that the fifth princess and the eldest prince are still not here this time, this is not surprising, April also happens to be the assessment time of the Guantian White Tower, and the small actions of the duke in the eastern province must have made the eldest prince anxious." ”

Joshua didn't think about it so much, after remembering the appearance of these people, he stopped paying attention, but he didn't pay attention to other people, others would pay attention to him, although the warrior with No. 3 and Hotaru had a great sense of presence because of his blockade, but he couldn't bear that there were only a dozen people in the entire hall, and most of them were waiting, and they all set their eyes on this low-key legendary powerhouse.

"Is he really here?" Some nobles have begun to fidget, they all know what the true body of the legendary powerhouse is, although the control of the warrior is worth believing, and there will definitely be corresponding countermeasures in the Morlai Palace, but when it comes to their own lives, they are still a little worried.

And several princes and princesses, and even the queen who finally came to the main hall, also noticed the warriors on the side, and Queen Edna's eyes swept over Joshua and Brandon and the party, and then waited for the time to come in her seat. The Seventh Prince, Alva, and the Second Prince, Dimore, both glanced at the warrior with a strange look, but neither of them spoke, quietly closing their eyes to recuperate.

The Fourth Prince, like Empress Edna, only glanced at it and stopped paying attention, but he secretly moved a few steps away from Joshua. The three princesses and the six princes were whispering in the corner, and as soon as these people stood in the main hall, they vaguely divided into camps with the surrounding nobles.

"It seems that Count Radcliffe has not changed sides because of the progress of his strength...... It's strange that he's still with the Kaos family. These are the words of the Three Princesses.

"Don't talk too much, of course the people who can achieve legends are not something you and I can measure...... No matter what his camp is, try to have a good relationship with him as much as possible, and you will never make mistakes. These are the words of the Sixth Prince, his voice is very soft, almost just moving his lips, and probably only his sister who knows him well can hear: "My brain and I have studied him very deeply, as long as this earl does not mess with him, he is a very good talker, give more gifts, keep some friendship, and control his subordinates to go and don't let them provoke this or provoke the person in his territory - forget it, as long as it is a Northlander, don't provoke, he can kill the Fertao family and the Suward family for his own men." ”

The communication between the two was very hidden, and it was difficult for even the extremely strong to notice, but for Joshua, it seemed to be ringing in his ears. He glanced sideways at the two of them, and he could even guess that they had probably told him that they had said it to himself.

The person who is knowledgeable is indeed very good, and he is worthy of being taught by the royal family, but he didn't come here today to have a relationship with so many young people.

He looked up in the direction of Empress Edna, and at what she did, she looked up and met the warrior's eyes.

Queen Edna...... This woman is definitely not simple, in her previous life, it was because of her legacy that the Seventh Prince, who had no possibility of inheriting the throne at all, would become one of the most powerful contenders for the throne, but in her previous life, she disappeared inexplicably after the death of Israel, and I don't know why.

Although it is rumored that she was martyred, and there are also rumors that this queen was assassinated by someone, but the warrior feels that it should not be like this, the first point is completely impossible, even now, Joshua can see the suppressed ambition in this woman's heart, and the second point is not to mention, as a legendary warrior, he can see at a glance the identity of the other party's extremely strong man, and the entire empire except for Israel and Nostradamus Master, there may not be anyone who can kill this seemingly weak queen.

Time passed minute by minute, noon was approaching, and seeing that Israel was delayed, even if everyone in the hall was a battle-hardened person, the atmosphere began to have a little commotion.

But whether it was Queen Edna, Joshua and Brandon and others, they were all calm and calm, and they didn't feel strange about it at all.

The real big guys are supposed to be at the end.

Bell, bell, the bell in the Palazzo Morlay was ringing, and it was noon, and there was already some commotion in the hall, not to mention the other people and tourists who were waiting outside.

But Joshua looked up.

In his perception, there were obvious space-time fluctuations in the entire sky above the Three Mountains Holy City, which were so grand and familiar to him, making the warriors extremely kind.

Here it comes.

He thought so.
