City of Sin: Second Emerald Heavenly Lake
Niris just looked at Richard and did not refute it, and no further explanation is required.
Just like Richard knows her, she also knows Richard. If it ’s no big deal, how could Richard resolutely quit Sacred Alliance and choose to become an independent aristocracy, which is a difficult road after the founding of the country.
Now the two empires are fighting for Richard, which gives him a certain buffer time, but when the Richard explicitly refuses, or the patience of the two empires is exhausted, then their attitudes will be diametrically opposed.
Before that, Richard first faced Sacred Alliance. No empire would tolerate its Great Noble separation. Every successful independence of the aristocrats in history must have experienced a war with the former sovereign country.
In the aristocratic world, status and rights are always played out.
In addition to giving Richard a hug, Niris can only return Richard in her own way. She has to work and fight like an ordinary Archeron.
When Richard arrived on the third day of Blackrose Castle, Sauron, Goliath and Alice, the former Archeron giants, all came to Blackrose Castle and held a secret meeting.
Richard described in detail what happened in the mirror hall that day, and then said: "So, I have no escape route."
Goliath and Alice both agreed, while Sauron asked for some details, even dating back to the incident, including Richard and the Queen ’s few meetings.
The Sauron thought for a moment before saying: "I think that Her Majesty Indefiniteness has a premeditated plan. She is targeting us at Archeron. If it is not something about His Majesty Niris, there will be other excuses."
"The reason." Goliath asked unkindly. His relationship with Sauron was always not very good. Even after the sunset defense, the two no longer played against each other in the back of the ground, but kept only one face. Peace.
Marquis Sauron said: "The super powerhouse may be a lunatic, but it will never be a fool."
Goliath pondered this sentence repeatedly, but for a moment he could not find a reason to refute.
Richard raised his hands to be quiet, and then said: "Now is the time to make a decision. I voluntarily quit Sacred Alliance, but you do n’t have to be like this. If you are willing to stand with me, it is very welcome, but you have to lose your territory. We may be going through a difficult and arduous journey of preparation, but we may also pass this storm calmly. No matter what choice we make now, it is not a problem. I will always treat you as a member of the family, but once I make a choice , It is not easy to change, even if you want to change, I am afraid there is no chance. "
"I choose your side." Alice said first.
Goliath hesitated for a moment, revealing an even scary smile, and said, "With the guy from the Gordon family, there should be more chances of fighting."
Only Sauron is left.
The marquis said slowly: "I will stay at Sacred Alliance."
Richard nodded and said, "Okay, then the territory I laid at the northwest border will be given to you. In exchange, I will get all your territory near Far Gazing Peninsula." Although Richard controls Far Gazing Peninsula, the periphery Some Lesser Lord are nominally vassals of Sauron.
"This is no problem." Sauron agreed without hesitation.
Richard ’s territory area, which was laid on the northwestern border, was large enough, but little developed, and the territory where Far Gazing Peninsula borders the mainland is a prosperous area where humans have settled for thousands of years, but Richard now needs strategic depth and strategy. stronghold.
"Then can I still get information from you in the future." Richard asked.
"The same as before, the only difference is that the price of intelligence will increase." Marquis Sauron said with a slight smile, "A price obtained from the non-aligned family."
"No problem." Richard replied.
Marquis Sauron thought about it and said, "I still have a small request, my son, Suarez, you have seen it before, Richard, I want to send him to you, he will change his name and identity Since then, in the Sauron collar, Suarez is already dead, my son is still a bit useful, and qualified as a soldier. "
Richard said with a nod: "I will give him fairness and opportunity."
Sauron smiled, and the wrinkles on his face were as deep as a gully. He reached out and held tightly with Richard.
"Live in Sacred Alliance and live a better life." Richard said.
"I will, you have to return to Faust earlier."
It was agreed that Sauron, Goliath, and Alice would leave one after another, and arrange for them to go back to their respective territories. There are still many things to come. Handover of territories, division of jointly developed industries, and appeasing of vassals all need to be completed in the shortest time.
Heavy soldiers were gathered in the territory of Richard, but Blackrose Castle was still in a semi-open state, Legendary Powerhouses were still taking risks in Giant Dragon Plane, and their entourage increasingly traveled to Faro through the Blackrose Castle teleport.
For a while, Richard knew that this might be the last quiet day. He calculated the time and decided to leave for the Millennium Empire Imperial Capital. One was to participate in the auction, and the other was for Sacrificial Offering.
Withdrawing from Sacred Alliance does not mean that Richard does not have a Sacrificial Offering channel. As long as it is not in a wartime state, according to the usual practice, he can pay a certain fee, through Nowlan, or Iron Blood Grand Duke and other floating island giants to carry out Sacrificial Offering, but Richard is unwilling Back to Faust.
He will come back one day in the future, but he will come back in another way.
Richard did n’t bring any followers and followers, so he put on a simple bag and walked alone. After a series of Griffin and teleportation combinations, Richard finally stood in front of the Millennium Empire, Emerald Heavenly Lake, two days later.
Emerald Heavenly Lake used to be known as the most beautiful city of Norland. Although it seems to be exaggerated, it is almost the same.
At the foot is a velvety grass, full of emerald green alluring. It seems like a watercolor painting that has not been dried. It has just rained. The dark clouds of gloomy in the sky intersect the dark gray rays. There is a strange sense of beauty.
A huge city stands quietly between the rich colors and the changing light and shadow.
Huge vines set up high walls, and the old plants are intertwined and intertwined, and the city wall itself ca n’t be seen at all, or the plants themselves are walls, and the city gate is a whole red sandstone arch, full of millennial empire. National flower, five-color sun flower, red, white, yellow, orange, purple, full of vitality.
At this time, Richard is dressed as a wandering mage, wearing a thick adventure cloak, and on his back is a strange and quaint magic seal box. magic seal box is obviously old and worn, but it is heavily inscribed in a conspicuous place. Magic symbols, and shiny, as if to fear that others do not know that this is a magic equipment.
All in all, Richard is like a seven-Level 8 mage everywhere. In order to get a job that can make a living, he has to show off his wealth and strength.
Emerald Heavenly Lake has not set any visible levels. It seems that travelers from all over the world can enter and leave at will, but when Richard followed the flow of people into the city gate, there was a warm current flowing through him. This is obviously some kind of Detect energy.
Richard instantly analyzed that these energies are very weak, but they are very clever, and can produce reaction for the negative and chaotic breath from the abyss, outland, etc. The purpose of this magic should be to identify those aliens from the evil and chaotic camps Too.
When walking into the city gate, Richard suddenly felt like he was walking into the kingdom of elves.
His first impression was the tree. Hundreds, even thousands of years old of ancient trees can be seen everywhere. Tree houses are very common here, and some houses are directly cut from some dead giant trees.
But if you look closely, you will find that it is different from the elven city. In the Green Forest Yongye tribe, the tree house of the elf is hung on the tree, and the villages on the ground are all kinds of The wooden house is the main, and the elves are good at urging the trees to the desired shape, thus turning into natural walls or pillars.
But in Emerald Heavenly Lake, the magnificent and magnificent buildings made of stone are the main body. Only these buildings are either covered with vines or cleverly integrated with the ancient trees and giant trees around them. illusion.
Another impression of Richard in this city is that it is gorgeous.
Almost all decent buildings are dotted with exquisite carvings, and even the fence of the garden is cast in the shape of flower branches with fine iron. The main body of the city is emerald green, but there is no lack of other colors, in fact No matter it is bright blue or rose red, it can be found here, and it feels not only gorgeous but only gorgeous.
Richard walks along the road. You can see people from various countries and races on the road. It can be seen that this is an inclusive city, and only inclusive will prosper, even if it is on the surface. necessary.
After walking along the road for a while, and then around the square, Richard suddenly widened in front of his eyes, revealing a vast surface of blue water.
This is an extremely wide lake surface, which can't be seen at the end, so big that people will mistakenly think that they came to the beach. This is the lake of dreams, the origin of the city name Emerald Heavenly Lake.
Emerald Heavenly Lake has a crescent-shaped whole city, half surrounded by a vast lake of dreamland. On the east side of the lake, at the end of the city, vague forest can be seen vaguely. It is a whisper forest and a famous scenery of the Millennium Empire.
Looking at the water surface like polished smooth gemstones in front of me, Richard couldn't help but lose his mind.
Looking to the left, there is a long white bridge in that direction, spanning the vast lake, connecting a magnificent palace in the center of the lake with the city.
Looking over the heart of the lake, the most conspicuous is a huge ancient tree, which grows at an angle, the canopy is like a piece of floating cloud, and it is fixed above the palace. The palace is mainly white and blue is the main embellishment. The huge palace group Winding up and down the tree until it approaches the canopy.
This huge tree is bigger than the many Tree of Life that Richard has seen in Green Forest, I am afraid it will not be much smaller than World Tree.
The palace group built on the giant tree in the heart of the lake is the imperial palace of the millennium empire.
