Viscount Anthony and Master Schlieffen were tricked into a trap and suffered a big loss, and Gordon had a lot of time on his hands. He, along with Count Julian and Faria, could move everything from the Rainbow Springs Manor unhurriedly, leaving nothing but a piece of land.
Even the Rainbow Spring, which has miraculous healing properties and the ability to enhance physical fitness, has completely cut off the source of the spring's water, the spring that leads to another world.
Later, the Eisenstein family got this land, and it was probably useless for anything other than to grow food.
After three days and everything was taken care of, Falia and Gordon prepared to leave for the imperial capital. Count Julian, on the other hand, stayed in the province of Far Frost and continued to deal with various chores.
Heading south via the Kenwa Canal, two days later, it entered the Central Province. Then they were replaced by boats specially prepared by the Anduin royal family for Gordon and Faria, and entered the east-west rushing river from the north-south Kenwa Canal through the confluence of the two rivers in the port of Ilana, and sailed eastward for half a day against the current, and finally entered the territory of the imperial capital Longen City.
This is the largest city in the Ferreton Platinum Empire, and it is also one of the largest cities in the entire Peking University 6, and even in the entire main material world. The city covers an area of nearly 100 square kilometers and has a population of more than one million. The Kenwa Canal, the Rushing River, and the Evergreen River meet near the City of Dragon. Eight satellite ports, including the port of Ilana, are located on both sides of the river near the city of Dragon, and the great city is fed day and night by easy access to waterways.
With the productivity of this era, only cheap and convenient water transportation can support a metropolis with a population of more than one million.
Along the way south, Gordon also witnessed the coastal scenery change from desolate to prosperous.
As the latitudes continue to get lower, the climate begins to gradually warm. The northern country, which is still covered with snow, is gradually replaced by the verdant and tender early spring. On both sides of the river, farmland and houses are gradually densely packed, and occasionally you can see exquisite and comfortable aristocratic estates and private gardens.
After disembarking at the satellite port of Wallasser, Gordon was still on the outskirts of Dragon's En City fifty kilometers away. However, there is already a flow of people around, which is no worse than Bishui City. Different races, speaking different languages, roamed the streets, creating a bustling scene.
Because a grand victory celebration is about to take place, there has been an endless stream of tourists, vendors, and aristocrats who have recently flocked to the imperial capital. For a time, the imperial capital seemed overcrowded.
Out of low-key considerations, Gordon declined the emperor's plan to send a welcome honor guard, and only rode into the city with a few servants with Faria.
Duronn City of Ferredon is one of those great cities that can fully display the atmosphere of the Empire, and Gordon and Phalia can already see the towering pure white walls from a kilometer away. Although it does not have the vicissitudes of war that High Rock Castle has. But in terms of solemnity and majesty, I am afraid that no other city in the whole of Ferreton can compare with it.
It is said that when night falls, when illuminated by the magic lamp powered by the Mither core, the pure white color of the walls of Dragon En City will glow with a faint golden light, which is extremely gorgeous. It is a superb view praised by the travelers of the entire Big 6.
However, whether it is the superb scenery of the famous Big 6 or the ordinary scenery of the streets and alleys, Gordon has no time to enjoy it at this time. After entering the city, he and Faria rode straight to their destination, Anduin's palace built by the royal family to entertain distinguished guests.
In the Seraphic Square in front of the palace, Gordon met his sister.
Although in terms of time alone, the two have only been separated for ten days, but because there are too many things in between, when they meet again, Gordon still has a feeling that they haven't seen each other for a long time.
My sister is still dressed in that shirt and breeches.
Beauty, no matter what clothes you wear, you can give people a pleasing feeling. If you are an ugly girl, you are sloppy if you dress simply. Dress up more, it's ugly and weird. This world of looking at faces is so cruel.
"Brother!"
Xie Ona, who was waiting in the square, saw Gordon, so she couldn't wait to speed up her pace and ran over.
Gordon looked at his sister's face with a visceral joy. He smiled involuntarily, and then opened his arms. He took his sister's delicate body in his arms, lowered his head, and sniffed lightly.
To paraphrase a certain advertising slogan, it is still that familiar taste.
As a time-traveler, Gordon has been living in the world of Telos for a while, and has experienced a lot of things. But many times, when he recalls his experiences on Earth, he still lacks a sense of authenticity in this world. Sheona, on the other hand, is the link that connects him to the world.
Every time he stays with his sister, he always feels very peaceful in his heart.
Gordon savored this feeling carefully, and after a long time, he said to the girl in his arms: "Okay, if you don't separate, I will have to bless a hundred protective spells on my body in the future before I dare to go out." Otherwise, he will definitely be killed by the worshippers of the angels of the battlefield. β
Xie Ona lifted the head buried in her brother's chest and looked around, almost all of the guards and pedestrians in the square were looking at this side, and some of them were still quietly pointing.
She has a quiet and introverted personality, and has never been so bold in public. Being watched by many eyes, a red cloud immediately appeared on the girl's fair cheeks, and then quickly spread to her ears.
However, Xie Ona still didn't move, but instead pressed her hands harder and hugged them tighter.
"I can't do that much. Brother, you're so good, just help me get rid of all the nasty ghosts. She muttered, her voice getting softer and softer, "I'm afraid that if I let go, I'll never see my brother again......"
Gordon knew that the reason why her sister was so rare to confide in her heart today was because she was frightened in the days when she disappeared.
Even if she had faith in Gordon, Xie Ona would still be uneasy until she got the exact news.
Gordon sighed, kissed his sister lightly on the forehead, and then said, "My sister is so cute, how can I be willing to leave?" β
After another moment, Xie Ona let go of her hand and left her brother's reassuring embrace.
Ms. Bishop, who was waiting on the side, walked over and said with a smile: "Your brother and sister have such a good relationship, which is enviable." It's not like my older brother, who always causes trouble. β
"Ma'am." Xie Ona still had a slight shyness on her face.
Gordon greeted her as well.
Ms. Bishop is still tall, capable and calm, giving people a feeling that they can rely on at ease. But Gordon saw that her face was a little pale, and her eyes were faintly bloodshot. I must have been sad for a long time after learning the bad news of the death of the Grand Duke.
Gordon felt a little sad in his heart. If I leave this world, I don't know what the reaction of those girls who have had anything to do with me will be?
But as a realist, he quickly discarded such nonsense, which was useless except for melancholy.
Falia, who had been quietly watching not far away, also walked up at this time and greeted Ms. Bishop and Sheona. Then the group walked to their quarters.
Walking on the ornate corridor full of blue jade pillars on both sides, the young Grand Duke of Gordon looked a little wrong, as if she was absent-minded. He leaned over and whispered, "What's wrong, Faria?" β
The girl shook her head and smiled slightly bitterly: "It's nothing, it's just that I saw the scene of you and Xie Ona meeting just now, and I felt a little touched." β
This girl, who was born in Orlandos and has the blood of a silver dragon in her body, rarely shows her soft side. She lost her mother at a young age, and now she has just resolved the conflict with her father, and the relationship has become harmonious, and she has to face the death of her father, which is really pitiful. Although Gordon has no parents, at least he has a sister to rely on. And Faria, it can be said that she is really alone.
The always strong girl occasionally shows her weak side, which makes people more compassionate. Gordon coughed and said, "Before the Grand Duke left, he entrusted me to take care of you. Well, don't worry, it's not like in those clichΓ©d knight novels, where the teacher asks the student to marry her only daughter before he dies...... If you have any worries, or just want someone to talk to, you can come to me. β
Gordon handed Falia a teleportation pin.
The silver girl nodded, took the things, and said, "I see, thank you." β
Gordon knew that Faria was not good at expressing her emotions, and it was enough to say thank you and accept it.
That night, after exchanging information with Sheona and Lady Bishop, Gordon went to bed early to prepare for the summons of Emperor Trajan tomorrow.
Early the next morning, Gordon changed into a ceremonial robe sent by a royal servant, and then entered the palace for an audience.
In the Imperial Palace, there are many halls with different themes, and the place where Gordon meets His Majesty the Emperor today is called the "Oasis Hall". It is said that it is a hall built in imitation of the scenery of the Mulland Desert Empire of Nanda 6, and it is full of exotic atmosphere.
"Please wait a while, Your Majesty will be here soon." The silvery-white humanoid creature said to Gordon in a slightly sluggish voice.
The Grand Duke is a servant of the water yuan, and the emperor is a puppet servant. The powerful and powerful, even the choice of servants is different.
Due to their special functions, these puppet minions are more expensive to manufacture than an Iron Golem. The envoys of the small foreign nations would have been speechless when they saw these amazing constructed creatures.
The palace is full of details that can inadvertently reveal the wealth and strength of the empire. For example, the oasis hall where Gordon is located is really arranged like a desert oasis, which makes people immersive. The pale yellow sand on the ground is soft and delicate, and it has been specially treated to have a strong cohesive force and will not spread out like ordinary sand.
While Gordon was carefully studying how much it would cost alchemists to make the special sand beneath his feet, the supreme ruler of the empire had finally arrived.
But when Gordon saw the emperor, his cheeks twitched and he almost laughed.
