Chapter 301: Once Entering the City, the Wind and Clouds Moved
When the sun set in the sky, a horse-drawn carriage walked onto a stone bridge made of huge stones, called the 'Triumph Bridge', and every army that marched from Bloometta would step on this bridge that had witnessed countless soldiers, and it did welcome many armies who returned from battle, so to speak, witnessing the history of blood and fire in the Ottore Empire.
Therefore, the 'Triumph Bridge' is sought after by many outsiders and is known as one of the must-visit attractions for the emperor.
The stone bridge is very thick and has a strong sense of history, and the position near the bottom of the stone bridge is covered with emerald green moss, reflecting a large river flowing endlessly, sparkling in the sunset, red and green. The name of this river is 'Patriotic River', and in the year of the candle, the royal family of Ottore was betrayed by the Saxon Grand Duke, and in the face of the attack of the Black Knights of Mansfield, a nearby empire, this great river bought the royal family time to survive!
If it hadn't been for a few days of resistance against this river, Ottore VII would not have been able to rely on the strong fortifications of Bloometta to resist the three-day attack of the 30,000 Black Knights. Thus waiting for the return of troops stationed in the Illektra Mountains. The entire Ottore royal family was saved, so the name of the 'Patriotic River' was called, and no one remembered the original name of the river in the future.
On the other side of the river, there is a flat plain, even in the central area of Ottore, which is dominated by the plain area, this royal private plain is also a very top fertile land, bringing considerable food and economic benefits to the Ottore royal family every year, but at the moment, because of the cold winter, you can't see the true charm of the 'Golden Plain'.
Even so, though. You can still see the royal farms scattered all over it, and the smoke on them brings bursts of life to the world.
There are two roadblocks above the stone bridge, one in the middle and one at the rear. However, as the carriage was moving, no soldiers came forward to inquire about it. The Triumph Bridge is not open on weekdays, but it is temporarily opened to share the flow of people into the city because it is close to the Lion King Festival.
"This seems to be His Highness's carriage, right? How come there are no accompanying soldiers? After the soldiers saluted, they asked their companions in confusion.
"Who knows, you didn't see a halfling driving the car. I haven't heard of any halfling companions for His Highness, it's really strangely tight. The guy next to him also looked a little surprised.
"Would you like to take a look? Wouldn't it be miserable for us to get involved in the spies? The man before said a little nervously, mixing in the mole is a crime to go to the gallows.
"I don't dare to check, this is His Highness's car, if it is really His Highness, then we don't have any good fruit to eat." When the man next to him heard this proposal, he shook his head even more busily, dissuading his partner's stupid idea.
The people in this carriage were naturally not Dybala Ottore, but Raphael and the others who had come all the way from Blackstone Ridge. In the end, Raphael only summoned four elemental guards to escort them back to St. Helier Harbor, as long as they returned in the direction they came, they actually didn't pose much of a threat at all, and Raphael also sent a message to Fitzgiler in advance, and they would naturally be ready to respond. Besides, these dwarven warriors are not soft eggs, and they will always have a way to deal with them.
If they were all dead, they would only be able to blame their own lives. As for whether Dybala Ottore will be able to get some information out of it, Rafael is not very worried. The mutation of Blackstone Ridge ended because of his own entry, and the plane anchor was changed by himself, and non-high-level spell magicians could not find out what was happening in it.
"Da da da......" A crisp sound of horses' hooves landed on the smooth stone road, and a group of majestic knights with dark red high-headed horses on their hips came here from a short distance. Their movements were clean and neat, and the movements and distances between each horse were perfectly controlled, as if they were measuring with a ruler.
From far to near, they wore dark red armor like a horse under their crotch, with a faint flow of magic flowing on the armor, and the coat of arms of the Ottore royal family carved on it.
"Red Guards, why are they here?" The guards began to talk about it, this was a unit directly belonging to Dybala Ottore, and they were not anything to mess with. Some people say that the armor on their bodies was originally silver, but it turned dark red because it was stained with more blood. Of course, there is naturally an exaggeration in this, but it can also be seen that the nobles of the Ottore Empire are jealous of Dybala Ottore.
"Lean in." The guards began to make the passers-by in the middle of the road get out of the way, and the Red Guards did something, and that must have been a big deal.
But the Red Guards went straight to the carriage where Raphael was, and dismounted, and the man in the lead came to the carriage and said very respectfully, "Hello, Mr. Raphael. Your Highness has asked us to welcome you. ”
At this time, everyone on the stone bridge began to talk about it, what kind of big man was sitting in this carriage, and he was able to personally let the Red Guards come to welcome him. However, Raphael didn't think it was anything, and the experience of Balchik's plane had changed his state of mind again, and this kind of pomp and circumstance seemed to him to be nothing more than pretending to be a family drink.
"Thank you for your hard work." Raphael spoke very calmly, not in the slightest nervous about their reputation, although he had once longed for such a deterrent.
"It is our honor, His Highness has chosen several residences for Mr. Raphael, one is on the outskirts of the city, and the other is in the noble district and His Royal Highness's mansion, I wonder where you want to live, Mr. Raphael?"
This one was not the slightest unhappy because of Raphael's blandness, Dybala Ottore had already made a choice before choosing the team to greet him, and the last time the Dark Raven incident made him very clear, this guy who seemed to be breezy on the surface, had a deep self-color about etiquette and dealing with people.
Sometimes, Dybala Ottore even feels like a prince from one of those big empires, and perhaps it is this overlapping weight that makes Dybala Ottore attach so much importance and attention to Raphael. Young but not lacking in calmness, resourcefulness, and strength, the pride of the heavens in the empire compared to him, and the light on his body immediately dimmed.
"In the suburbs, I prefer to be pure."
"Yes, Mr. Raphael."
The Red Guards stepped on their horses one after another, and the guards slowly disappeared from everyone's sight around the carriage.
All of a sudden, the voices of the people on the stone bridge became louder, "What is the origin of that guy in the carriage, who can make the Red Guards so respectful?" ”
"A big shot for sure!"
Not only these peddlers and pawns, but also some of the eyeliners who were watching near the stone bridge also moved, "Report the information here to your lordship." "It's big news, and a man who was greeted by the Red Guards was definitely an important figure under Dybala Ottore. And they don't have any relevant intelligence at all, which in itself is an unimaginable thing.
As soon as the storm entered the city, Raphael, who was in the carriage, continued to look at the books in his hand, unmoved. Dybala Ottore is trying to drag himself completely into his camp, Rafael knows it, but he doesn't break it either. If you want to make it easier to move in the Imperial Capital, it is also useful to have an extra card like this.
The carriage was spinning in a round, as if time was mercilessly devouring everyone's lives, and the rolling torrent of history seemed to have opened the floodgates at this moment, rushing towards everyone, unable to hide, impossible to avoid......
"Raphael, we're here." Outside the door, the leader of the Red Guards spoke. Pushing open the door, a large mansion covered in silver appeared in front of Raphael's eyes, next to a small pond, even in winter, in which there were still beautiful ornamental fish swimming in it, and all the servants in front of him were wearing padded jackets waiting for his arrival.
"Your Highness has commanded, if Lord Raphael needs anything, you can tell the butler, as long as we can do it, we will definitely do it for the gentleman." When the leader saw Raphael get out of the carriage, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.
"Say to Your Highness for me that I have accepted this love." Raphael nodded at the man.
"Okay, we will definitely convey this sentence to His Highness truthfully. I'll leave ten soldiers to guard this place, and my sir must have been very tired from all the way. If there is nothing to tell, we will leave first. When the leader got Raphael's words, he was also relieved. The order was given to them to die, and if they couldn't get this person's approval, they didn't have to go back. Therefore, everyone abided by their duties along the way, and did not dare to exceed the slightest.
……
"What do you say? Don't know the details of this person? What are you eating, the day of the Lion King's celebration is getting closer and closer, and you don't know from me now? Dybala Ottore suddenly came with such a hand, did he poach some talent from somewhere else? The nobleman at the top first roared angrily, and finally said with some fear.
In the aristocratic quarters, such images appear frequently, and the term lion king celebration is also spoken very frequently. The Lion King Celebration is a major event in the Ottore Empire, where young talents from across the empire come together to compete for the title of 'Lion King', where death, killing, and strife can take place without any fear, and you can use any means to kill the heirs of rival families.
This was a means used by the Ottore royal family to weaken the nobles of all parties, and the nobles were actually well aware of the sinister intentions of the Ottore royal family. But they are still willing to join in, because the winner can get the title of Lion King, have the opportunity to enter the royal treasury, and most importantly, can enter the Lion King Mountain to understand the key to breaking through the shackles.
This is what those nobles value, if it is not for this last attractive condition, how can these nobles fight to get their family heirs into such a dangerous battle? Of course, not only that, the 'Green' where the battle is located is a subspace, the so-called subspace is the spatial crack of some large planes, but it is very stable, and because it comes from the large plane, it will give birth to many heavenly treasures and rare magical beasts, if you are lucky enough to obtain it, the royal family will not ask to hand it over, you can bring it out by yourself.
Moreover, this 'Green' is not accessible to everyone, only those under the age of twenty are allowed to enter. This prevents anyone from sneaking in and killing their own offspring. Therefore, the people who enter it every year are like the carp that crosses the river, and the major nobles have direct invitation quotas, and ordinary people who want to enter it need a recommendation from the academy or a mentor, if they don't even have this, then they need to be selected through the battle warmed up for the Lion King celebration.
So many young nobles come to Bloometta from all over the world during this time of year, in order to be able to participate in this great event. This is the fastest place to get fame, fortune and strength, which is very suitable for these young and vigorous sons of heaven. Naturally, the Ottore royal family was extremely welcoming of this.
This can greatly weaken the power energy of various nobles, intensify the contradictions between them, and bring many benefits to Bloomerta, and they only lose the opportunity for their own family to enter at any time and some treasures produced from it. The so-called "Grimm" can only enter once a year and can only be entered under the age of twenty is nothing more than a language used to deceive the nobles.
Because the passage where 'Green' is located is located in the imperial city, it is guarded by the dead soldiers of the royal family throughout the year, and every guy who enters 'Green' is brought in by the teleportation circle, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is meticulous. Therefore, in addition to the Ottore royal family itself, the only people who know the information about 'Grimm' are those dead soldiers who are completely loyal to the Ottore royal family.
Raphael's purpose here is for the lion king's celebration, not for something meaningless like fame. What he wants is one of the most important pieces of his puzzle in the royal treasury of Ottore! Without this piece, his blueprint would be flawed, which Raphael would not allow.
It can be said that this move is inevitable. If someone stands in the way, it's really killing.
When the housekeeper saw the Red Guards leaving, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "My lord, do you need to eat first?" Dinner has been prepared for you. ”
"Well, let's eat first." There are priorities, and it's getting late, and even if there is anything, it can only be arranged tomorrow.
"Okay, big favor." The butler led the way, and the people in the carriage followed Raphael into the mansion.
