Chapter 56: Greenland
Adhering to the fine tradition of the Sorrowful Wind Leader, the maid and the duke chose to keep everything simple.
They didn't bring any squires, they didn't bring any soldiers, they didn't bring their knights, they didn't bring any gold, silver and jewelry, because for the black dragon they only saw the king's majesty, and they just wanted to take money out of his hands.
Cervantes has no self-consciousness, and our maid master will naturally not remind him, after all, although Krylov III is a poor man, he is also an ambitious king with the ability to realize his ambitions, and now he is still maintaining the 'tradition' Will he do something to the sad wind leader?
They are now heading to the royal capital to find out.
The black dragon flew for three days, because he had to rush to go and come back, so it was just like when he set off from the forest between the Kingdom of Kolo and the Principality of the Eagle to the Grim Wind Territory.
After being tired of flying and resting for a while, I continued to fly after resting, and it took three days to finally come to the royal capital.
Greenland, the royal capital of the Kingdom of Crow, is a city of 'spellcasters', from the royal family to the common people, everyone is not surprised by the power of magic, even if they live in the slums of the outer city, they may have one or two magic items in their homes.
Mages can blatantly walk the streets with their pets and slaves, whether they are demons from the abyss or otherworldly creatures, as long as they have their names on the slave contract, mages can walk the streets with their pets and slaves, which is not seen in other cities.
The city's inhabitants are complex, with elves, dwarves, gnomes, dragonmen, halflings, well, goblins and merfolk.
In this city, the presence of most of the intelligent races in the world of Assatom can basically be seen.
Goblins once had a glorious empire, but then fell apart...... It's a story that everyone has heard, but now in the south, there is indeed a goblin country, which is said to be a country of 'construction machinery and steam', although many people have not seen it with their own eyes, but the things that those green-skinned dwarfs take out of their pockets are proving all the time, maybe their words are true.
The goblins don't admit that the wild goblins are their cousins, as they are 'a bunch of uncivilized stupid people who don't know how to use the Force', only that the wild goblins and goblins look alike, but they are not actually the same race.
The world is noncommittal about their quibbles, but the reality is that many people still see goblins as wild goblins, and even the slightest bit of extreme will try to 'drive goblins out of the city'.
Goblins are very fond of gold coins, and it is said that they are 'to revive the great goblin empire', but after so many years, I haven't seen any big movement in the goblin kingdom - not on the physical level, if it is a 'big movement' on the physical level, then there are more in the goblin kingdom.
Here you can see a wide variety of buildings, from ancient baroque architecture to modern Minsk architecture, from elven treehouses to dwarven stone houses.
It is an open city that is open to cultures and residents from all over the world.
The large number of mage towers in the city is the characteristic of the city, the mage towers are all over the inner city, and there are also many mage towers in the manor outside the city, if it is before the end of the Arcane Empire era, it can definitely make people wonder if the city's leylines can have so many mage towers, but in this era, the mage towers no longer need to rely on the energy of the leylines.
The elemental pools that connect the elemental boundaries do not need the support of leyline energy, and the magic web and the 'Great Demon Tide' that have been successfully transformed by the Grand Arcanists can meet the basic energy supply of these mage towers, otherwise the great nobles of the Kolo Kingdom would not have built such a large number of mage towers here.
Although there will be some conflicts between different intelligent races from time to time, after all, this is also the royal capital of the Mage Country, and they dare not be too presumptuous.
The towering mage towers are interspersed with farmland, green wheat stalks sway in the wind, concrete roads stretch from the gates to the outside of the city, and the sound of horses' hooves and wheels rolling never stops.
On a hot summer day, a rat merchant drove the giant rat, and the caravan pulled by the giant rat was full of goods, which were some alchemical potions, but they were packed in wooden boxes, and no one knew what was inside.
He was supposed to have a truckload of other goods, but on the way he met a poor alchemist, who he used the cart and a carriage to exchange with the alchemist for the alchemical potion in the wooden box, which he had paid for after negotiating with the alchemist.
Because he felt that he needed to open some new channels, and the money he earned from buying and selling ordinary goods would not be able to support the little cubs, after all, the community where he lived was a little crowded, and in a year or two he would have to take his family to find a new place to live, and he needed to ensure all the expenses they spent in the process of relocation.
He had already made up his mind in his heart, he had recently heard that the Sorrowful Wind Leader was a good place to go, and after finishing this business, he would go back and discuss it with the clansmen to see what their wishes were.
The cloak shielded the rat merchant from the dazzling sunlight that he hated, but he was also sweating under the cloak, but who had covered him with fur?
In the boredom of waiting for the carriage in front of him to slowly enter the city, he touched his polished brass earrings.
Driving the giant rat to the city gate, the city guard did not react much to his appearance and race, but ran to the caravan, knocked on the wooden box, and asked, "What's in it?"
"It's some alchemy potion, and our community is ready to move again!" replied the rat merchant truthfully, handing the key to the wooden box to the city guards.
The city guard opened the wooden box, carefully looked through it with his colleagues, and after locking the wooden box, returned the key to the rat merchant, and said, "You can enter the city after paying the entrance fee." ”
The rat merchant counted one gold and twenty silver, and handed over the city entrance fee and tip to the city guards, and it was also because he had already taken care of it, so he was able to enter the city so smoothly - those city guards didn't even ask what the box of alchemy potions was for.
Driving the 'rat cart', I drove slowly into Greenridge, not slow, because there are so many people and cars here, and after walking for more than twenty minutes, it is not so slow when you can turn into other streets.
It was supposed to be slower, but it was only after a few months ago that the royal capital suddenly divided the lanes and sidewalks and issued a decree to keep to the right, and the speed of vehicles in the city increased significantly.
However, it has only increased from the speed of 'being like a companion' to being a little faster than a pedestrian, and other than that, it hasn't changed much.
Without pedestrians crossing the road, it had been a few days since the rat merchants had seen anyone run and killed, and it had even become relatively novel news that someone had been hit by a carriage in Wangdu.
A dark shadow passed in front of him, and the rat merchant opened his eyes wide, looking left and right, almost thinking that he had hit someone.
"Look at the sky!"
He heard someone suddenly scream, and subconsciously looked up.
A huge black shadow with its wings spread out fell from the sky, seemingly obscuring the sun, and the rat merchant could only see a black silhouette.
"Squeak!"
"Wow!"
"Wow!"
The rat's struggle caused the rat merchant to nervously tighten the reins, and the riot of animals in the street left him in a state of bewilderment.
With the arrival of the Black Shadow, the innate coercion sent out an army of 'fears' under his command, brutally intruding into everyone's hearts.
Animals have always been more sensitive than intelligent creatures, but now, the rat merchants are also feeling this suffocating sense of panic.
The city guards shouted to their colleagues on the city wall in a panic, and the city guards on the city wall frantically pulled the tarpaulin covering the bed crossbow, and then operated the bed crossbow unfamiliarly, until a spell mark burst in the sky, and they were unable to pull the bed crossbow on the bowstring.
That's a dragon!
This was the first thought that came to the mind of the rat merchant.
I'm going to die!
This was his second thought.
But no, he didn't die, not a single person in the royal capital.
A huge spell mark appeared in the sky, and everyone present saw it, and the rat merchants at this time didn't know which nobleman's family crest it was.
The city guards didn't know either, but their commanders did.
The Sword and the Black Dragon –
The Sad Wind!
