Chapter 50: The Sorrow of the Empire (I)
[If you want to go to bed early, you don't have to wait, there is a shift at midnight, remember to hit me with a ticket, hard]
In the nearly 1,000-year-old city, the streets are still smooth, and there are not even any cracks. The carriage ran on it unusually smoothly, and Lord Rex only recovered at this time, and the sound of the bell had the greatest impact on her, and there were faint signs of a breakthrough.
It's just that the promotion of magicians is mostly gentle, and she has to consolidate it for at least 1 month before she can find an opportunity to become a sixth-level magician.
Despite this, this method of the Qin Yin Empire was already appalling. The mages of the entire city will be promoted, and I am afraid that only the Advent of the Holy See can match it. The Advent technique can only be performed once before the Pope dies, and the magic bell of Holy Rock City only needs to gather ten years of power.
The time for Salin to advance is too short, and his magic string is larger than that of mages of the same level, so it is difficult to advance, but this time, he has lost a precious opportunity. Otherwise, with the strength of his mental power, there is almost no need for a smooth period to advance, and it is a matter of course.
"Saleen, are you better?" asked Salin, who was leaning on Neris, as soon as he opened his eyes.
"Much better. ”
"Then get out of the car, beware of envy. ”
Salin nodded, thinking to himself, if I were a magician, I wouldn't be afraid of being envied. Well, although I saw the direction of my future, I still had to succumb to reality.
Sarin jumped off the slow-moving carriage with great dexterity and got back on his horse. He saw that the 50 battle mages who came with him were beaming with joy, and his excitement was overflowing, and he had to admire the strength of Emperor Qin Yin.
An emperor, even if he doesn't cultivate any skills, is stronger than a magician. This time, fifty battle mages and eight life mages will advance in one to three months, and the Lord of Rex has one more batch of great mages.
Low-level mages are easy to cultivate, and great mages are what every nobleman wants to recruit.
The streets of Shengyan Castle are straight, and the buildings on both sides are sparsely populated with flowers and trees, and it is already close to June, and the fragrant smell is refreshing. Saleen took a closer look and found a number of plants that could be used to make magic potions.
Seeing the palace from afar, everyone dismounted, and it was not allowed to gallop inside the palace gate. At a glance, the palace occupies a small area, and the white buildings stretch for miles, some of which are made of pure white stone, and some of which are sprayed with magic powder, so that the original color is not visible.
The majestic palace gate itself is a giant tower, reaching into the sky. Because the tower is so large, it looks like a fortress in the style of the Fourth Dynasty. The county lord's procession stopped, and a court attendant came out to replace the messenger who led the way. Lord Rex has to get out of the car at this point.
"County Lord, Your Majesty is waiting for you in the main hall. "The chamberlain was a fair young man, reserved in his speech, and arrogant in his demeanor. Salin looked at it and felt very unpleasant, such people, if they were in the Cloud Flow Empire, they would all be castrated. Before he knew it, he had already regarded the county lord as his own.
The Lord of Rex ignored the attitude of the chamberlain, who were mostly children of the nobility, and it was natural for them to form factions. If this person has the ability, he will become a court swordsman, and for someone who has no ability, it is not worth getting angry with him.
"Lead the way. Lord Rex's voice was cold, it was the real cold, and the chill began to emanate from her body. The chamberlain shuddered, almost slipping. Salin smiled secretly, even if this is not a county lord, he is also a fifth-level magician, and he is really ignorant to play tricks in front of Rex.
"Follow him. The chamberlain pointed to Salin and the others and asked them to follow the other chamberlain.
Lord Rex turned around and said, "You guys, come with me, battle mage go and rest." ”
She didn't pay attention to the command of the chamberlain, and just let the soldiers and battle mages of Kushui County go to rest, and the life mages stayed. The chamberlain wanted to refute, but saw Feron, who was dressed in a black robe, looking at him coldly.
Lord Rex also had some questions, why did his father see him in the main hall? Father doesn't have to seal himself as soon as they meet, that needs to go through the motions in the House of Lords. The royal title can be given at will, but half of the dozen or so cities around Kushui County are still in the hands of the House of Commons.
If you want to take it back, you have to have a reason and an agenda.
The chamberlain was glanced at by Fei Lun, and he no longer dared to be presumptuous, and obediently led the Lord Rex and others to the deep palace. He originally thought that the county lord of Rex was young and could be bullied, but he didn't take a good look, and there was a magician by the county lord's side.
The layout of the palace is much more rigorous than that of the city outside, and the corner lines of almost every building conform to the arrangement of magical formulas. Salin saw it in his eyes with a feeling of powerlessness. No matter how strong an individual is, he cannot resist a country. The layout of this palace, even if a ninth-level magician comes, it can't make waves.
Along the way, I only saw two teams of patrol soldiers, both wearing magic armor, and their weapons were magnificent, although they did not have the temperament of those soldiers in the military town outside the city, they were not weak, at least at the level of a junior swordsman. Although Salin knew that it was impossible for all the swordsmen in this palace to be above the level of swordsman, he was still shocked to see it.
A swordsman in magic armor has no problem dealing with low-level mages. These people are just patrolling soldiers, and Yanjing is really hiding a dragon and a crouching tiger.
Salin had countless ideas in his heart, but after entering the main hall of the palace, what he saw was still beyond his imagination.
The building of the main hall is only majestic from the outside, but once you enter, the space is almost more than doubled. Moreover, the architecture of the main hall completely imitates the style of the First Dynasty, with towering stone pillars, a ceiling that can be seen from the skylight, and a magic array running on it, allowing the sunlight to shine evenly.
The whole space appears transparent and spacious, with no extra decorations. Many of the stone pillars have a huge statue with a majestic demeanor and simple clothes. Salin didn't know that those statues were the statues of Emperor Qin Yin of the past dynasties, and the reigning emperor was managing the huge empire under the eyes of many ancestors, and he didn't dare to lose it.
In the middle of the main hall is a huge table, behind which are all the nobles of the House of Lords, who are in charge of one-third of the land of the Qin Yin Empire.
There was only one man behind the table, and that man sat in a large chair with one hand on his cheek. He had a pair of wise eyes, a look of only thirty years, a slightly ordinary face, thick eyebrows, and a short beard under his chin.
He sat there, and there was nothing in the whole hall that could attract people's eyes, and Salin couldn't help but look over, and he couldn't take his eyes off.
The middle-aged man didn't exude any strength, but Salin couldn't help but feel like he wanted to worship.
In the entire hall, he is the center, and he is also the center of the Qin Yin Empire. Emperor Qin Yin, who has reigned for more than 30 years, looks so young.
"Lace, my daughter, you're back. ”
Emperor Qin Yin stood up, dressed in a cotton robe, as if he was a scholar living in seclusion in the mountains and forests. A trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and Lord Rex couldn't help but walk over and stop in front of Emperor Qin Yin.
"Father, I'm back. Lord Rex choked up a little, she wanted to hug her father, but she knew that there were many people in this hall that she couldn't find, and every move would be passed on.
"Lace, I should have kept you around......"
"Father!" Lord Rex hurriedly interrupted Emperor Qin Yin's words, she knew that some words would affect the stability of the empire.
"It's okay, your brother is getting better, and when your affairs are dealt with, I will make him the crown prince." ”
After a pause, Emperor Qin Yin was not immersed in the emotions of seeing his daughter return, and asked, "Fei Lun, are these your students?"
Faeron was also a little excited, when he left, he was just an ordinary third-level mage, and now he is a magician. The emperor seems to have broken through the limit, and the royal secret method must have been completed.
Ten years seem to have passed in an instant. At the beginning, he accompanied the county lord to leave Yanjing, thinking that he would never come back. The emperor's words back then seemed to be still in his ears......
"They are the life mages of the county lord, and I am in charge of guiding. Feron quickly suppressed his emotions and replied respectfully.
Emperor Qin Yin frowned and said, "Lace, the mages are free, how can you let them serve your life?" I don't care about other nobles, you are my daughter, you should understand how the empire was established." ”
Emperor Qin Yin said sincerely, without any pretentiousness.
Lord Rex blinked, but didn't refute, she knew that her father was just talking, avoiding people's eyes. What he did in Kushui County, I'm afraid that many nobles will be dissatisfied. A large number of cultivated mages will pose a threat to these nobles.
"Figo!" Emperor Qin Yin raised his voice, and a warrior stepped out in response and walked to Emperor Qin Yin's side.
This warrior was dressed in gorgeous armor, but it was not a useless look, and Salin actually saw the Ice Continent Stone on the armor. A small stone alone can't be bought for tens of thousands of gold coins. He did not wear a helmet, carried a long sword at his waist, and looked no more than thirty years old, with a handsome appearance.
"Take Faeron and these mage gentlemen to my treasury and choose a set of equipment each. ”
Figo was a little surprised, but he didn't say anything, just saluted, and silently took Fei Lun and the others out of the main hall. Salin knew that this was the emperor who wanted to break up the crowd and speak alone with his daughter. However, looking at the appearance of the Lord of Rex, I am afraid that there are still strong people in the hall who cannot be discovered, and this is like being an emperor, but it is like being in prison.
Fortunately, the emperor made a generous move, and he got another vote this time. Emperor Qin Yin's treasury should have something good, right? Since it is a magic empire, the equipment of the magician will not be too bad.
Figo walked in front, his steps were light, he knew Fei Lun, when Fei Lun left, he was just a small court swordsman, and when they met again, everyone had become a rare powerhouse.
In the main hall, Lord Rex sat down, and there were only her and her father at the huge table.
"Lace, although I regret it, I am glad that you have achieved such an achievement now. Emperor Qin Yin's face did not improve, with obvious melancholy.
"Father, what's going on?" Lord Rex, although he had a lot to say, was also worried when he saw his father's worried look and strange words.
