Chapter 161 Rite of Passage

Faust gradually became less calm.

Recently, the topic surrounding Akmund has been increasing rapidly, and there are no more than two main contents. One is that the Eternal Dragon Temple's protection of the floating island of Akmund will expire within a month.

The other is that Richard has left less than half a month of time for the family council entrenched in the castle of the Black Rose. Even if Richard pulled out an army from within the plane, the remaining time would barely be enough for him to get from Faust to the Black Rose Castle. If you want to attack the city, I'm afraid there won't be enough time. Moreover, the Black Rose Castle is a famous compound fortress type castle of the Alliance, which is said to be almost impenetrable, and the enemies of Akmund have not witnessed this legend since they stopped in front of the walls of Ashan, so it is interesting to see how Richard will fulfill his promise......

The situation seemed to be unfavorable to Richard, and in the vicinity of the Black Rose Castle, the armies of Goliath and Sauron showed signs of moving, although they did not enter the territory that traditionally belonged to Gordon, but at this moment, this movement took on an unusual meaning.

It was at this time that Richard returned to Norland.

When Richard walked out of the Eternal Dragon Palace, the news immediately spread throughout Faust! Not only because Richard was the main topic of discussion at the moment, but also because of the sacred unicorn under his crotch. This was the first time Richard had brazenly ridden a sacred unicorn out of the market.

For a while, countless eyes fell on the door of the Eternal Dragon Palace, and more people who had received the news were hurrying over. People have a faint feeling that Richard, who has been silent for a long time, seems to be about to explode on this day.

Richard was not in a hurry, he was deliberately trying to make people see better.

Behind Richard are all the followers, they have different forms, in the eyes of the Norlanders, although they are not very high-level, but they all have a strong murderous aura, and they are obviously battle-hardened. Such a person is placed on the battlefield, and sometimes it is even more terrifying than an inexperienced Sacred Domain powerhouse.

Followers are followed by bands of elite Darkblade Knights, whose indifferent expressions and near-precise queues that can be kept neat and precise as they pass through portals are even more remarkable than the sophistication of extravagant equipment. An elite Darkblade Knight with a full 300 riders!

This number almost suffocates those who quietly count!

In the eyes of the Norlanders, these knights had clearly reached the level of candidate Constructed Knights, but there were as many as three hundred horsemen! This terrifying number in itself showed Richard's achievements in dimensional exploration.

Others began to quietly calculate the cost of access for these people. Norland's common sense is that knights cost a double fee, because men and horses are counted separately. Then 300 rides, even if calculated according to the teleportation cost of 10,000 rides, the one-way travel cost is 3 million!

Moreover, it didn't take long for Faro to obtain the plane number of the Dragon Palace, even if Richard had sacrificed many times, but from the well-known probability, it was almost impossible to stabilize the plane passage to the point where the unit toll cost was reduced to less than 10,000. If this is calculated, the teleportation fee is even more terrifying!

However, the three hundred Darkblade Knights were not the end, and after them, another knight walked out of the Eternal Dragon Palace. Compared to the elite Darkblade Knights, they appear more human, and at the same time, their aura is more fierce and powerful. The nobles of Norland would never be unfamiliar with the demeanor and momentum of these knights, and immediately someone exclaimed: "Construct knights!"

However, the onlookers didn't have much restlessness at first, because Richard was a promising royal constructor, and the Savage Suit was the highlight of his first press conference, so how could he not have a Masculturist under his command?

Seeing these constructed knights, many people nodded secretly, feeling that as expected, Richard had indeed hidden the constructed knights in his private plane. These knights are obviously second-order suit knights, and with the magic knights who have recently begun to become famous in the Holy Alliance, their combat power can even surpass that of ordinary third-order loose pieces of constructed knights.

Now the question is, how many knights did Richard hide? ten horses, or even fifteen horses?

Soon ten knights in costume walked out of the Eternal Dragon Palace, and some of them began to smile reluctantly, while others remained unexpected.

Fifteen horsemen in costume came out.

The smiles of the latter group also began to become forced, and the people in front of them could not smile at all.

And the Constructed Knights are still riding out one after another.

By the twentieth ride, the crowd had already begun to stir, some were excited, some were pale, and some were angry. More and more people got the news, and all the places on both sides of the road leading to the floating island of Akmund that were easy to observe were occupied. At this time, the wealthy and powerful people who were at the dinner table also received the news. Naturally, they weren't as excited as ordinary people, but after groaning, their expressions were different.

Duke Mensa slammed the teacup in his hand and roared: "Is this a demonstration to me? Twenty horsemen, we Mensa will not be frightened by the twenty horsemen in costume!"

The attendant looked at the blood flowing from the duke's fingers, and his whole body trembled with fright, and he no longer dared to say the second half of the sentence. Because when he galloped back to report the news, Richard's constructed knights were only twenty horsemen, and the ones behind him had not yet finished.

Duke Schumpeter listened to the report of his attendants, and was silent for ten full minutes, and then with a wild roar, he tore the attendant who reported the news to pieces, and let blood and internal organs pour on his body.

The old Duke Joseph was having tea with a few old friends, and after getting the news, his face changed several times, but in the end he didn't say anything, just continued to talk about politics and the territory. However, everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding, and no one mentioned the surname Akmund.

Others, such as the Duke of Tucson and the Duke of Wellingburg, simply ordered their men to keep watching, and that they would be rewarded with an exact number.

Philip, on the other hand, stopped eating again, and thought for more than ten minutes before asking the minister, "What do you think?"

The minister was flattered, and immediately thought hard, and only after a moment did he take a step forward and said cautiously: "The villain thinks that Young Master Richard is demonstrating. ”

"Oh?" said Philip, taking a tissue, wiping his oily fingers, "who is he going to demonstrate?"

"For example, Schumpeter, Mensah. Sweat began to form on his head.

"If Richard has enough strength to intimidate the two families, why not just start a war? The hatred between Richard and them is irresolvable. ”

The close minister sweated like rain, thought hard, and then said hard: "Maybe...... Is it to deter Fort Welling, and the Tucson family?"

Philip shook his head.

The minister looked so anxious that he was about to cry, he bowed his head deeply, and said, "Villain...... I really don't know!"

Philip suddenly sighed and said, "You should spend more time studying politics!"

Jinchen's whole body was shocked, and he exclaimed: "......Your Majesty? I don't need to study politics, it's my whole duty to serve your daily life and food!"

Philip smiled, but instead of the usual sense of coercion that was not angry and arrogant, he seemed very kind: "You have been with me for more than twenty years, and you have been cautious all these years, and you have never made a mistake. So you don't need to prove your loyalty anymore, I have a territory in the border area, and the property is good, but it's not very safe. It's a territory that can later support the title of earl, so I'll transfer it to you. You take care of me for another year, and then you can concentrate on developing the territory!"

The close minister opened his mouth and stammered, and for a while he couldn't even say his words: "This! villain...... It's not going to work......"

"You deserve it. Over the years, you have been with me, and many things have been wasted except for arranging recipes and daily life, right? This year is regarded as a transition. As long as you're by my side, no one will dare to touch your territory. But when you take office in your own territory, I won't be able to help you. ”

Jinchen suddenly knelt down and choked up: "Thank you, Majesty, But, what should you do when you want to eat?"

Philip tapped lightly on the table, his eyes fell on the colorful sky of Faust outside the window, and sighed: "It's okay, I just suddenly feel that I don't need to be so fat anymore." Maybe all the years have been my own wishful thinking. ”

This passage was said without beginning and end, which made the close minister inexplicable, but he knew that this was by no means a topic that could continue to be funny, and it was best to just hear nothing.

Philip looked at the minister's expression and said, "Don't be nervous, I just suddenly have some feelings." If I remember correctly, Richard's little guy was 20 years old, right? He wasn't here for a demonstration, but for a unique rite of passage for himself. It's like when Gordon used to break through the Eternal Night Forest to announce his arrival on the mainland stage. What a young man with such vigor and vigor! It made my heart a little excited. Perhaps, I should also walk around, lest some people forget my savings and become more and more bold. ”

"Then how many costumed knights does Richard think he will bring back this time?" asked the minister.

Philip gave an unfathomable smile and said a number that shocked the minister: "Fifty." ”

"......Fifty! This...... Luneau hasn't contributed fifty Constructed Knights to the Alliance in the past ten years, no matter how powerful Richard is, he has only been developing outside for four years, how can there be fifty Knights?"

"Wait and see!" Philip smiled.

Before he could finish speaking, one of the guards rushed in and shouted, "Your Majesty! Richard's Constructed Knights who have entered Norland have reached fifty horsemen!"

Philip laughed like a child, and said to his ministers, "Look at it!

However, the next sentence of the guard made the emperor's laughter stop abruptly: "Your Majesty! Richard's knights in costume have not yet finished! The villain has counted to fifty, and he will come to report according to your orders." However, the villain still has people left at the gate of the Dragon Palace, and new news will come soon. ”

There was silence in the palace, and even Philip didn't know where to put the knife and fork in his hand.
