Chapter 0044: Into the City
Chapter 0044 Enter the City
Muspur City.
Hovis was still bored and half-lying in his seat, listening to the fleeing Ghost Lord recount the battle, occasionally reaching out to look at his shiny nails.
The half-scorched ghost lord shrunk in fear, quietly waiting for the fall of the superior.
It was a long time before Hovis turned his gaze to the Ghost Lord, and reached out to shoot out a black light. As soon as the black light fell on the ghost lord's body, it began to twist and deform, trying to burrow into his body. The ghost lord trembled in pain, but he didn't dare to cast a spell to dispel this black light, so he could only suffer silently.
"Go find me ten girls, I'm going to eat. If the quality satisfies me, I'll lift it for you. ”
Listening to the vampire prince's lazy instructions, Helialas breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately went straight to the human captivity point as fast as he could.
The vampire prince Hovis touched the water mirror on the table with his hand and sneered: "Novis's ** division? Hmph......"
……
Kingdom of Moroorhead, the city of Eliad.
As the largest city in the southern part of the Mojolkhed Kingdom, the Eliad was a half-commercial and half-fortress complex. Bordered to the west by Lake Myhil and to the east by the famous Greenland Forest, a choke fortress that was originally intended as a barrier to the south of the kingdom attracted countless caravans in search of fortune due to its abundant resources and geographical location. After nearly a hundred years of development, the commercial flavor of the city of Eliad has become stronger and stronger, and the city area has become larger and larger, and the original core fortress is like a city within a city, which has retreated into the garrison of the city defense army.
Now it's all different.
With the undead natural disaster that occurred in the imperial capital of the kingdom a year ago, the entire Morohrid kingdom was extremely devastated, and a large number of refugees who were lucky enough to escape flocked to this southern barrier, and the arrival of the Morolhead royal family heralded the loss of most of the kingdom's territory. For a time, the sorrow of the destruction of the country enveloped the only remaining kingdom city.
When the multinational coalition reached an agreement to fight against the undead, this land of suffering rejoiced, and under the organization of the surviving royal family, nearly 300,000 troops were quickly armed, hoping to destroy the evil undead and regain their own land. However, with the ambiguity of the mage forces and the arbitrariness of the church forces, the two coalition armies divided into left and right withdrew from the battle one after another before the royal army could enter the battlefield. The unpredictable future and the complicated status quo made the new army of the Morohd Kingdom, which was just boiling in blood, cool down rapidly, so overnight, the new army mutinied.
The invasion of the necromancer caused the high-end power of the kingdom to be wiped out in the battle of the imperial capital, and 2 legendary-level protector mages were killed and seriously injured. The one-sided form caused many kingdom contract mages to switch to other countries, and further accelerated the collapse of the kingdom. When His Royal Highness Prince Hansen Bremila and Princess Cialis Bremila, who survived the royal family, fled to Eliad City, there were only 200 knights with them, and if it weren't for the accompanying legendary mage Tello, who was seriously injured, the two princes and princesses who were not yet 20 years old might not have been able to live in Eliad City for 30 years.
It was in this chaotic situation that the delegation arriving by boat arrived in the city of Eliad.
Before entering the city, I already felt the chaos in this area.
Outside the north gate, crowds of refugees with children and daughters spread all over the road, sitting in the cold wind and wailing. Although it didn't snow, the weather was so cold that it turned into ice, and I don't know how they survived such a cold environment until now.
Under the city gates, heavily armed city guards were on guard, constantly driving away the refugees who tried to sneak into the city in vain to find food to eat. Twenty or thirty corpses were hanging from the city walls, fluttering in the wind, and judging from their clothing, they should also be refugees.
Li Xun lowered the curtain of the carriage and never wanted to see these scenes again, since he got off the boat, this miserable scene had made him numb to see. That's probably what it means!
The carriage stopped only a moment at the city gate before entering the heavy city.
After staying at the most famous Pearl Hotel in Eliad City, Li Xun completed the mission. Eat and drink in a luxurious room, discuss spell issues with Casas, Li Xun, who has not been out of the house for three consecutive days, has not seen the Marquis and His Excellency the ** Master, presumably he is busy discussing something with the Moroel Head royal family!
As a future leader, Li Xun couldn't study spells without distractions, and he couldn't help but start speculating about the motives of this mission. What do you ask for to come to the lonely city to meet a group of remnants of soldiers and a group of rootless people who are about to die?
Anyone with a discerning eye has seen that the mage forces and the church forces no longer have the heart to fight to the death with the Council of the Dead, and a peace negotiation is expected to start soon, or a secret discussion has already begun. Regardless of the outcome of the peace talks, the gang hiding in the city of Eliat is destined to be outcast.
From this big perspective, trying to analyze the harvest of the Duchy of Novis is about to come out.
Land? Joke. Population? Across the Council of the Dead, even if you can attract people, how can you send them to the country? Then there is only one valuable one left.
Legendary Mage Troll.
The Duchy of Novis currently has only one legendary mage - the 22nd level Star Legendary Mage Katie Enni, although the Mage Guild also has a legendary mage in the capital city of Pyrbont - the 21st level blue star Serena, but it does not interfere in the affairs of the principality, and in the face of the huge threat of the 5 legends of the United Council of the Dead, it obviously reveals the lack of high-end combat power. In order not to repeat the mistakes of the Morolhead Kingdom, the Duchy of Novis never again showed such a desire to fill its vacancy. In addition to this legendary mage of Tello, who is bound to win, listening to Casas's tone, it seems that the principality has other targets to recruit.
A kingdom that is about to be wiped out, there is only one lonely city left, no matter what, it is impossible to keep a legendary mage, it is estimated that several countries on the mainland will send people to recruit this priceless treasure, the competition of the Duchy of Novis is there, now it depends on whether the things in the arms of the Marquis are enough to win in this invisible competition.
Li Xun pondered and pondered, and inadvertently touched a letter in his arms, and his thoughts couldn't help but turn to Princess Cialis Comeira, who was in the same city.
It is rumored that this Princess Hylis Bremila is amazingly beautiful, and she is even a magical genius, and she is already a level 8 mid-level mage at the age of 16 this year. He studied with the prince of Antella in the Duchy at the Hanrisen Academy of Magic in the Kingdom of Breland, and the two probably met at that time! Is the purpose of His Royal Highness the Prince writing this letter to take advantage of the beauty to invite her to the Principality for a "play"? Legend has it that this princess is very much loved by the legendary mage of Tello, and it seems that she was accepted as a disciple by him, could it be that the prince played the "emotional card"?
Li Xun, who had nowhere to go, was burning at this time, and the soul of gossip was burning, lying on the bed and tossing and turning over and over the bits and pieces around him, but there was too little information, and all he knew was either rumors or vague things like possibility. With faith in your own hands, could it be that you have become one of the many links?
On the fourth day, Li Xun's speculation became a reality. The Marquis, who had not appeared for many days, actually had breakfast with Casas and Li Xun, and reminded him to hurry up if there was anything that needed to be done in the city.
Li Xun instantly realized.
So after breakfast, Li Xun got into the carriage to the city lord's mansion.
