With the sound of a low whistle, the Roland docked smoothly at the dockside. www.biquge.info Probably because the ship was named after the Great Chief, Luo Jia walked down the pier and noticed that the people on the pier had all stopped and raised their right hands in the direction of the big ship.

And the soldiers of the First Army on board replied to the crowd in the same posture.

That should be a special kind of etiquette.

It's just that the etiquette is different from the one she has seen, and neither side seems to be in the position of the inferior, whether it is giving or receiving, both sides are equal...... It was a little hard for her to understand. In her opinion, whether it is kneeling or clenching fists, one of them is the recipient, so as to express the meaning of admiration and obedience.

And she noticed that even the children playing by the dock were in the same pose, and their chests were held high. In this process, no one's expression is humble and unwilling, and everyone's eyes are full of joy and vitality. Through such etiquette, they seem to have completed an indescribable communication.

"It's a military salute," said Ash, "and at first I didn't understand why they did it, and I thought it was Roland Wimbledon who forced the people to do so, only to find out later that it wasn't what I thought. ”

Luo Jia raised her eyebrows in surprise, "It has nothing to do with the fact that this ship is called the Roland?"

"That's right, whenever a ship carrying the First Army docks, they will spontaneously raise their hands and salute, because it means that another group of family members from the expedition abroad have returned safely. ”

"But they don't look like ...... Family," the third princess hesitated. Shouldn't it be more agitated if it was greeted by family? And the soldiers were almost all men, and there were very few women on the docks, so could each of them happen to have a brother?

Andrea shrugged, "All members of the First Army are from Neverwinter, which means that not only do most of the residents have joined the army, but there are also quite a few in the neighborhood. This is completely different from the mercenaries who go around begging for a living, and the forcibly recruited militia, but more like a job full of honor. They celebrate the return of other people's children, and others will celebrate the safe arrival of their loved ones on their behalf—that's probably what His Majesty means by "people's army." ”

It is made up entirely of the people...... Army?

The wolf girl looked thoughtful and followed the witch into Neverwinter.

The first image of the city, known as the new royal capital of the Grey Castle, was that it was neat, with no exception to the endless stream of pedestrians, the houses and streets were arranged in straight lines, even the trees on both sides of the road. This compact arrangement made her feel a little depressed, and although it looked spectacular, it was not as comfortable as Iron Sand City.

And to her disappointment, there was not much snow to be seen in Neverwinter, and even the hard pavement beneath her feet was dry, and only a little remnant of snow could be seen on the branches and roofs.

Hopes of traveling through a pure white snow city have been dashed.

Of course, it's not without its merits.

Luo Jia noticed that some of the houses along the street were hung with huge plaques with various signs, such as Old Orion Leather, Straw Paper House, North Slope Gem Shop, and so on...... Although many of the bars were still blank, she was already dizzying with them.

Moreover, there are signs erected at each intersection, which not only indicate where each fork leads to it, but also mark the corresponding street by name.

For example, what she is walking on now is the Glorious Avenue.

The Werewolf soon realizes that this will be of great help to strangers who set foot in Neverwinter for the first time. Through these signs, she can quickly remember what the city looks like, know where to buy and sell goods, and where to stay overnight, so that she doesn't have to resort to local smugglers or rats.

When she talked to the traveling merchants who traveled to and from the Far South, she heard the most about the pioneers of the first time she arrived in a strange city, which was always full of hardships and frustrations, and while revealing the identity of an outsider, it was also tantamount to putting herself in a vulnerable situation in a sense.

And such a small gesture is very convenient for newcomers, even if she feels an inexplicable cordiality when she sees the street signs, as if the city is welcoming her arrival.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that these bustling and busy streets and alleys in front of you also seem to be taken for granted.

It's a pity that Loga doesn't have much time to appreciate this foreign city.

Ash quickly led her into the Lord's Castle, and after waiting in the hall for a short time, one of the guards brought the King of the Grey Keep a reply, "Come with me, Your Majesty agrees with you." ”

For some reason, Luo Jia suddenly became a little nervous.

She secretly took a deep breath, followed the guards up to the third floor, and then walked alone into a bright and transparent study.

Behind the mahogany table by the floor-to-ceiling window sat a surprisingly young man, dressed in a plain robe and a shawl with gray hair, without a crown or a wrench or ring on his fingers. While playing with a quill pen, he looked at her with interest.

This is the Great Chieftain who turned the Far South upside down?

Luo Jia had difficulty associating the other party with her intended image for a while.

In her mind, a person with extensive knowledge and extraordinary martial arts concepts should be an elder who has entered the age of no confusion, with wrinkles on his forehead, long pigtails from his beard and chest, and deep eyes. Even if the northerners don't like to wear their beards into long braids, they shouldn't be so young!

It was only then that she realized that she had missed an important matter, and that was that she had forgotten to ask about the Great Chief while carefully inquiring about the powerful warriors of Neverwinter.

After hesitating for a moment, the third princess decided to salute according to the rules of the Mojin people.

Shaking her ears, she touched her knees to the ground and slowly fell to her stomach - after all, Luo Jia had heard of the saying that gray hair was a symbol of the royal blood of the Gray Castle.

"You're the goddess of the Flame Clan, aren't you?" The other party didn't deliberately let her salute for too long, and as soon as his forehead touched the ground, he opened his mouth, "Get up, Virtuous Wolf, and welcome to Neverwinter." I am Roland Wimbledon, King of the Grey Keep, and of course your Great Chief. ”

Virtuous wolf? Luo Jia secretly frowned slightly, what is this called?

But she quickly stood up as if nothing had happened, as if she had not heard the words, "My name is Loga Burning, Your Majesty." As for the title of the goddess...... Now that we're here, it's better to call it a witch. In addition, my father, Gulz Flame, entrusts me to pay tribute to you on behalf of the Flame Clan, and may your reign last as long as the Oasis. ”

But this time she didn't get an immediate response.

Secretly puzzled, the wolf girl quietly raised her gaze, only to find that the other party's gaze was fixed on her long ears.
