City of Sin: Three going with the wind
The entire imperial palace is basically in a state of no defense, and the city wall arrow tower is not visible, that is, the towering Magic Tower is also different from the general style. It seems that it is also used to study or maintain the environment, not to defend against the enemy At least Richard did not see a device to release magical energy attacks on the spire.
If an enemy crosses the Whispering Forest and sneaks directly from the lake of dreams, then he can cross the city and take the imperial palace directly. Richard just floated this idea in his mind, and then he denied it.
This is a shortcut, but it can also be said to be the most difficult route, because the Empress Gelan lives in the imperial palace, and the manor Martial Saint Hidden Sword is deep in the whisper forest.
Emerald Heavenly Lake ’s city walls are more used for decoration and city management than defense.
Before the millennium, when the millennium empire was established, the founding emperor Roman Rowland once stood on the shore of the lake of dreams and gave a famous speech on founding the country.
She said at the time: “If my enemies can hit here, then the empire will also be destroyed, so Emerald Heavenly Lake will be an undefended city. My descendants must have any enemies outside the country. Courage. “
Since then, the Millennium Empire has continued its extremely tough external style.
Since generations of emperors have been expanding outwards, the biggest setback for hundreds of years has been the failure of going north, but at that time the Millennium Empire was defeated by Charles.
The Charles and his seven generals swept through the northern continent and established Sacred Alliance on this basis. After that, he launched the largest expedition in the history of the human race and completed the killing of the abyss Great Lord Demon Dragon Ah’s great cause, peerless martial arts, can be called unprecedented, and no one came after.
In addition to the beauty given by nature, Emerald Heavenly Lake walks in it, and you can feel the precipitation of history and time everywhere. Perhaps a very ordinary sculpture may have a long history. This is somewhat strange and exotic style of Faust. Quite different.
Richard stood in front of a small hotel, looking at the fountain in the center of the courtyard with a dream.
There is a stone sculpture of an elf girl in the fountain. Various decorations and sculptures on the theme of elves are almost flooded in Emerald Heavenly Lake. This stone sculpture has a history of at least a hundred years or more, but it is even more in Emerald Heavenly Lake. There are also many ancient sculptures. What really attracts Richard is the details of the clothing on this elf girl.
“Master Master, do you like this statue very much.” A clear voice interrupted Richard‘s thoughts.
Richard turned his head to look over and saw that he was talking about a young girl wearing a hotel maid ’s clothes, so she smiled and said, “Yeah, it looks historical, and her clothes and hair accessories Very special. “
Looking clearly at the face of Richard, the girl both eyes suddenly lit up, showing a brighter smile, saying, “You are really learned and so young, in fact this statue is from Yongye Forest, originally left by the Silvermoon elves . “
Richard said with a nod: “It is indeed a masterpiece of art.”
The girl suddenly said indignantly: “Silvermoon Elves are noble and elegant real high elves, Yongye Forest is said to be the most beautiful place on Norland Continent, but it was destroyed by the Sacred Alliance group of upstarts and Barbarian, I I heard that they even burned World Tree in a fire. Oh my God, can you imagine what a bad crime this is. “
Richard was a little embarrassed, and at the same time lingering sorrow in heart, Gordon and Elena came together in this war, and then separated in a blink of an eye, and never met again.
Richard sighed deeply and said, “That is indeed regrettable forever.”
The girl suddenly remembered something and said, “Ah, I’m going to work. If I let Aunt Wenther know that I was chatting with someone and forgot the time, I would scold me again. By the way, you just arrived Emerald Heavenly Lake? Have you found a place to stay? If not, stay in our shop. I will prepare a pot of flowers for you. Aunt Winther will also make baked pies at night. Many people come to eat here. “
“Okay.” Richard agreed, and then looked up and looked at the small hotel again.
The courtyard and building in front are not large, but they are exquisite and clean. Like many buildings in Emerald Heavenly Lake, it is also a little bit old. It has existed for at least two or three hundred years.
Richard asked for a bright and clean room, the price is moderate by Emerald Heavenly Lake standard.
The girl immediately verified her opinion of Richard, a young, elegant and promising Middle Level mage, who traveled to find breakthrough opportunities, or came to Emerald Heavenly Lake to find a future.
When Richard stayed, the girl brought a glass of wine and dessert, and then quickly said: “My name is Erin.” So I ran out quickly.
Erin, this is a name almost forgotten by Richard, but when the dust was wiped away, it was found that it was hidden in the corner, intact.
Richard shook his head helplessly and buried this memory again. The cheerful bell-like laughter of the girl of the same name came from the window. The nose was a floral fragrance steamed from the slightly hot air in the afternoon. All the worries and haze seemed going with the wind .
Richard was out for a while, picked up the Emerald Heavenly Lake map prepared by the hotel for the guests on the desk, looked at it carefully, and engraved every detail in his mind.
There is still one day before the official auction. He can walk around the city to see if he can find some interesting things.
Tongshu District is a famous adventurer ’s paradise in the city. There are a variety of shops related to war and adventure, and most of the shops will also buy materials from the adventurers they visit. Weird stuff, Richard is going to spend an afternoon wandering here and try his luck.
When Richard walked into the Tongshu District, the first thing that came into sight was the various shop signs and eye-catching door decorations under the shade of the trees. These shop buildings are themselves works of art, which are endowed by a long history. With special value, adventurers of all shapes and sizes are walking here, looking for opportunities, or replacing loot with money.
A shop in Richard walked over and was surprised to find that many high-level magic items appeared here, and the product level was still above the Faust trade zone.
Going down the road, Richard‘s backpack is gradually full, filled with magic materials that have been found, and even a few materials that can be used in the Midalun battle version. This is also unexpected surprise, of course, the price is not. Philippines, for this whole package of materials, Richard paid magic crystal equivalent to 500,000 gold coins.
At dinner, Richard returned to the small hotel, enjoyed the delicious pie of Aunt Winther, and chatted with Erin for a while, and then stretched out to prepare to return to his room. Erin‘s eyes were a bit gruesome. But Richard only left her with a smile and closed the door.
Richard opened the portable toolkit and began to draw a batch of key functions Magic Array, and the quiet night passed.
In the early morning of the next day, Richard hired a carriage and headed to the private theater of the Duke of Abis where the scheduled auction site was located.
When Richard walked to the gate, two guards in gorgeous armor stopped the way, and at the same time, several powerful mental waves swept across Richard, showing that the defense power in the dark was extremely powerful, far from the surface. A flashy sentry is so simple.
Richard took out the invitation letter, handed it to the guard, and waited quietly.
A moment later, an elderly mage hurried out and saluted the Richard with respect but said, “His Royal Highness, please follow me.”
Richard was directly led to a box in the theater. There are already three people waiting for him here. One is Marquis Lu Yao who sent the invitation letter, the other is the Archmage close to the legend, and the third is A middle-aged nobleman.
Marquis Lu Yuan looks in his early fifties, and his hair is already half-grey, but he is dressed meticulously, and obviously pays great attention to detail.
When Richard walked in, all three stood up politely.
Marquis Lu Yi smiled first: “I did not expect that His Highness Richard actually came in person. Especially in this sensitive period, we feel very honored. Please let me introduce this master Tom, who is a famous expert in identification. “
Archmage and Richard performed a mage salute with each other. Although the old mage still said nothing, his expression softened.
Marquis Lu Yuan continued to introduce: “This is the agent of Lomdock Earl, Imperial House, many important purchases of Imperial House are through the hands of Earl, then, since there is still a long time before the auction, Richard Your Highness, why are you here so early? “
Richard took out a small magic seal box and put it on the table, saying: “I have two things that I want to sell at the auction, or used to offset the cost of the auction auction.”
Lu Yuan nodded to Tom, and the old mage took magic seal box and carefully opened it. When the lid opened, an indescribable thick **** breath immediately overflowed, making the three of them look all changed.
The old Master Ning Shen felt a moment before fully opening magic seal box. magic seal box was divided into upper and lower layers. After pulling the upper layer, you can see the same Rune in the lower layer.
The old mage took out an alchemy magnifying glass and put it on his eyes. He carefully examined the two Rune and almost put his face on it. He looked almost one centimeter by one centimeter. After an hour, he raised his head. , Saying: “You can be sure that both are Absolute Execution.”
Lu Yuan and Lomdock both showed little disappointment on their faces. They are looking forward to Richard‘s unprecedented new works. In that case, it will cause enough sensation at the auction.
In fact, the more Runemaster is to High Rank, the harder it is to innovate, but Richard has really brought people too many surprises in the past, so Lu Yuan instinctively expected that Absolute Execution is indeed worth a lot, but it is not enough to become this auction. The highlight.
However, Tom wiped the sweat from his forehead, took off the magnifying glass and wiped hard, and said the second half.
PS: It ’s a good holiday, I wish everyone a good meal, play and rest.
