Chapter 22 is coming (6600, two chapters merged)
Most people's eyes were about to stop, and they did not really look at the warriors and their group. There are now tens of thousands of people around the imperial capital, so they don't have time to pay attention to the strangers coming and going around them. A few people who spent some time thinking also subconsciously gathered on No. 3, Brandon and others.
"Your Majesty the God of Power will not be late, He has been watching us."
After hearing Joshua's joke, the blonde swordsman immediately took a colder joke. Fortunately, there were no crazy believers around them, otherwise there would be another mess. After hesitating to each other, Joshua looked at the two people in front of him.
Brandon and Villdani were both wearing dresses, with simple white background, black edges and dark blue. They seemed to be talking about love before the North Portal, but they came after they noticed that the warriors and others had arrived. There was no one around the two, and neither of their two daughters brought them. I thought they should be staying in the territory and asking for help to take care of them.
Since Brandon advanced to the ruins of Moldova, he has spent a lot more time, and even lived in Moldova for several consecutive months. The strictness of the Caos family is only for those who have not met the requirements. As a promising and unrestrained genius, the Blond Swordsman has now had some privileges. After all, legends cannot be reached by retreat.
Since Joshua had talked with Brandon and others before the celebration, they didn't talk much and had nothing to say now. Do you continue to sigh why the warriors have advanced again? There is nothing to talk to with the chosen ones, so they left, so they didn't waste much time and walked slowly towards the Three Mountains Holy City on the top of the mountain.
"In order to prevent the enemy from raiding, there is a wide-area space-time anchor around the imperial capital that suppresses all time and space magic. Except for Master Nostradamus who left a back door for himself, it is basically difficult for all mages to open the portal here. Even if it is opened, the time and space coordinates will be messy, so you can only walk in to the imperial capital."
For some reasons, Verdanni's appearance was still the same as that of a girl about 145. At first glance, she looked like the Firefly beside Joshua and No. 3. The Countess looked at the strange artificial intelligence sitting on the shoulders of the warrior with interest and had been expressionless. Then she began to introduce it again: "You should know all of these, but at the beginning, because there were too many people, the master would open a small teleportation shortcut to some people who could afford the price, but now."
At this time, Brandon took over the conversation, and he said in a rather indifferent tone: "Now the master and His Majesty the Emperor are mysteriously missing, so we can only walk over."
Although Isrel and Nostradamus disappeared, they did not say anything anxious. It seemed that they had known whereabouts of the two. Joshua didn't find it strange. After all, one was a genius swordsman admired by the emperor, and he was also the pillar of the imperial nobles. The next heir of the Kaos family must have known some information, while the other was simply a student of Nostradamus. He probably knew where his teacher was from the very beginning.
"So what's going on inside the imperial capital now?"
Holding fireflies in one hand and straightening No. 3 on his shoulder with the other hand, the soldier asked with interest: "Have those nobles made any trouble? Is there any news in Morley's Palace?"
"No, the person in charge of the intra-house affairs is a smart man. Queen Edna did nothing, so no one else dared to make any changes."
Vildanni shrugged slightly, she narrowed her eyes slightly, looked up at the top of the mountain: "But lost the mountain above her head, those people should have realized how wonderful it is to not have a legend pressing on her head...I'm not talking about you."
Everyone was chatting one after another. Both Joshua and the Swordsman were very casual, which was obviously different from the nobles who looked a little nervous next to the portal. This expression immediately attracted the attention of others, causing many people to turn their attention to this group of people.
"Are the heir of the Caos family and the Earl of Moldova..." A noble muttered. Although the relationship between Brandon and Villdanni was not widely publicized, it was not a secret to those who were interested, so he was not surprised by the intimate posture of the two. Then, the man glanced at another group of people beside the two, and his breath suddenly stagnated and his body was covered in cold sweat.
Earl Radcliffe!
That new legendary warrior!
When did he come?! Why didn't everyone notice it?! The nobleman subconsciously took several steps back and then reluctantly calmed down, but his movements were still noticed by others, so more and more people looked curiously in the direction where the warriors and others were. This time their sight was not blocked by Brandon, so they trembled all over and subconsciously took a step back.
It was Joshua van Radcliffe! The terrifying demon who was rumored to tear up dozens of dragons with empty hands! When did he appear in the imperial capital?! Many nobles who had clearly paid attention to this direction before seemed to have discovered Joshua's existence, and were extremely shocked.
This strange reaction is actually not surprising.
In order not to attract attention, Joshua had been thinking about the secret method of hiding his own breath as the nature mentor said during the period after meeting with ambassadors of various countries. However, no matter how he experimented, there was always a circle of pressure like a halo around him. In this circle of pressure with a range of at least a few dozen meters, even a blue dragon like Sukrash would express his palpitations, not to mention other ordinary people.
According to Sukrash's analysis, this is because the warrior's power is too powerful, just like a huge ice shelf that is hundreds of kilometers long falling into the sea. Even if it is assimilated with the surrounding environment, it cannot be eliminated in a short time. However, this knowledgeable and knowledgeable Jiyi Lanlong gave another suggestion that since it cannot be integrated with the surrounding environment, it should be completely closed.
The warrior felt that it was right. Assimilation with the surrounding environment was the path of the natural mentor, but he might not necessarily follow the same thing. Therefore, when Joshua built a "shell" that enclosed his body, he built an additional layer of mental protection for him to conceal his own pressure and presence. In this way, as long as he did not look at it specifically, even if he walked in the downtown area, he would not cause a commotion. However, this method was one thing that was bad, that is, after the shell that had been bound and pressured, the aura that had been accumulated for a long time would be released in an instant, causing a spiritual shock that was far more terrifying than usual.
The experiment in the Great Aes Mountains was that living creatures within a radius of dozens of kilometers were either shocked or fled desperately. Archbishop Atanis, who accompanied him at that time, sighed that if the warriors had such ability, there would be no dark tide, even if the monsters killed each other and even jumped off the cliff, they would never dare to attack the Moldavian leader.
Although he was recognized at this time, Joshua didn't care too much. He continued to chat casually with Ying, No. 3 and Brandon, and then walked slowly along the long stairs towards the top imperial capital.
The other nobles who were slowly leaving their spiritual deterrence gradually came to their senses. A nobleman who seemed to have entered middle age shook his head and cheered up his spirits. Then he focused his attention on the backs of the warriors and others, murmured: "Who is the girl sitting on the shoulders of the Count of the North..."
Why are you so bold? And you are holding a person in your right hand. Is it the female companion for this celebration?
"It's too small..." Beside him, the friend of the noble, a middle-aged nobleman with a slightly gray hair, said to himself in a voice that was so light that only he could hear: "Does Count Radcliff like this?"
This is not a strange thing for the nobles. After all, you can get married at the age of fourteen in the continent of Mycrov (1). As long as you are in love and do not even have scandals. Except for the priests who are more reserved in this regard, no one will deliberately make things difficult for a great noble in such matters, but these two middle-aged nobles are not impressed by their age.
"The body size is too different... I just passed the waist."
"No wonder I rejected our invitation. I thought my daughter was just the same age, but I didn't expect that she was still a little older..."
Just as similar discussions arose, seeing that Joshua's reputation was about to be killed, a mage in white robe stood up. The mage was a tutor of the Imperial Capital Nothing Magic Academy. He once followed Master Nostradamus to build a time and space gate in the north. He had seen No. 3 when he was maintaining the portal on the top floor of the Lord's Mansion, so he explained: "The girl sitting on the shoulders of the Earl is actually not a real human. She is the artificial soul who commands the protective magic circle of the main city of Moldavia. In other words, it is an existence similar to the mage Tata Spirit."
With this explanation, it would be much easier to accept. Many nobles nodded. They have not seen the tower spirit formation spirit before. There are even some noble families with good strength. These artificial souls are indeed particularly close to the family heads. After all, they are the key to ensuring the safe operation of certain secret places or important formations. The reason why the Earl of the North also brought them in the celebration was probably to remotely control the formation led by Moldavia in order to prevent anyone from sneak attacking and destroying them? After all, I heard that the Five-Colored Dragon Clan and the cultists have never given up revenge on this warrior who destroyed their key plans.
He is really cautious and deserves to be an existence who can advance to legends at such an age. Everyone sighed so much.
Unlike most people who were thinking about whether to change a young girl from a clan as a marriage alternative, a nobleman who looked like dwarf blood and several middle-aged men wearing the family emblems of the northwest aristocrats around him were as if struck by lightning after seeing Joshua's figure.
These nobles from the Fertao family and the Suward family were originally talking about cooperation, but now they were all in a state of vain. After looking at each other, they immediately retreated quietly, preparing to find a secret corner to inform the members of the family who were already in the imperial capital to hide immediately and not meet the Count of the North.
Originally, such ordinary spring celebrations could not allow some great nobles and their descendants to leave their territory and come to the imperial capital of His Majesty the Emperor. They have long been accustomed to their authority in their territory, so how could they like to pretend to be grandchildren in front of Isreel? But through some channels, many great nobles have known that some amazing things may happen in this celebration. Although they do not know what it is, there is no doubt that if they miss it, it is very likely that if they step by step, and slow down is slower. In order to prevent this, many great nobles may not come in person, but they all sent second-person or heirs from the family to watch. The Ferta's family and the Suward family are no exception.
But now that the warriors appeared, the two families who had a holiday with Joshua had to change their plans. In some nobles' mansions in the imperial capital, some nobles sensed the notification of the communication instruments in their arms, looked down, and then their faces changed, and then apologized and said goodbye to the other nobles who were attending the small gathering with apologies, and then left immediately.
The atmosphere in the entire imperial capital has undergone some slight changes due to the emergence of Joshua.
At this time, the soldiers and his group had entered the imperial capital. Apart from the city gate, no guard along the way came to check their identity jokes. The next head of the Caos family, the Countess of Moldova, and the legendary powerful man who was in high spirits, were crazy and went to check on such big figures.
"Let's go directly to the main hall of Morley Palace. We have a special location to watch the scriptures."
On the way, Brandon said this, he glanced at the streets of the imperial capital, then shrugged and said, "You can see that the atmosphere in the city is now very depressing. Except for tourists, most of the locals stay at home."
Joshua did sense this. The celebration is about to begin, but Isreil and Nostradamus have not returned yet. Although most people know that His Majesty the Emperor will definitely come back before the celebration begins, this feeling of gains and losses still makes them nervous. There are also many guys who have done some secret matters in the few months when Isreil is away. They are not sure whether their actions will be discovered by His Majesty, but if they are really discovered, their family will definitely not have a good end.
There was nothing to say along the way. This year's celebration was indeed much more dull than before. Even tourists on the street felt the atmosphere and did not dare to talk loudly. The soldiers and their group came directly to the Morley Palace, and were led to the central hall by the servants.
The spring celebration is actually a long-standing ritual. It is rumored that it was before the Seven Gods, from the sacrifice to the earth in the last era. At that time, people would carve four flawless jades in the style of "seeds", "seedlings", "plants" and "wheat grains" and placed them in the palms of the four arms of the statue of the Earth Mother God. The statue of the Earth Mother God also pays attention to it. It must be made of natural iron ore ore, polished and carved by stone tools. The feet of the Mother God also need to place soil from all over the place so that the goddess can protect the source of these soils.
Now, the celebration is not that fine. Most of the time, it only takes the emperor to take the stage and worship the earth in accordance with traditional rituals.
After arriving at the Central Hall, Ying looked around curiously, and No. 3, who had been very at ease, turned his head and looked around, looking very interested in this strange but gorgeous decoration.
"Jothia, why don't we decorate the Lord's Mansion like this?"
Pointing at the luxurious and exquisite relief on one side of the hall and the conspicuous crystal decoration on it, No. 3 lowered his head slightly and whispered in Joshua's ear: "The decoration at home is so depressing. How could you like that?"
"...Why is my lord's mansion more gorgeous than the imperial palace?"
Most of the buildings in Moldavia were designed by priests under the God of Power four hundred years ago. At that time, the ancestors of the Radcliffe family had a good relationship with the Archbishop of St. Lauren's Cathedral, so the lord's mansion was full of the unique religious solemn style of that era. In general, it was extremely abstinent and depressing, with solemn but not beautiful sculptures everywhere, and there were ancient weapons hanging on the walls. Because of their personal hobbies, the warriors also added many head ornaments of their prey to the hall. Once strangers entered, they would probably be frightened by the ferocious expressions of various beasts before they died and fled. The atmosphere was dozens of times more depressed than at the beginning.
It is also a blessing that the attendants and maids of the lord's mansion would have been tenacious, otherwise they would have been mentally ill and collapsed long ago.
It was almost noon, and the items needed for the spring celebration ceremony were already ready. There were quite a few people in the hall, only a dozen people, but they were all noble and had received special invitations and powerful professional spellcasters. Just when Joshua was chatting with No. 3, they all noticed the existence of Joshua and others. However, because the atmosphere was not easy to come forward to greet him at this time, many people made up their minds and prepared to chat with this promising legendary warrior after the ceremony was over and have a good relationship.
Of course, you can also introduce your own daughter. Many people who think this legendary warrior does not seem to have such thoughts in their hearts as rumored.
Time passed, accompanied by the sound of footsteps from the palace, several royal members also came to the hall one by one. Through Brandon's introduction beside him, Joshua also learned about the other party's identity.
The sixth prince and the third prince daughter, these two siblings who had the same mother, came hand in hand, followed by the blond and blue-eyed seventh prince Alva and the second prince Dimore, who seemed inconspicuous. The atmosphere between the two was not as good as the siblings before. Although the distance was not far, there seemed to be an invisible diaphragm between them.
It seems that it was not in order. When Joshua thought of this, the next person to appear was the Fourth Prince. This tall young man with a hint of Isrel's shadow was heavy, and he seemed to be unable to hide his thoughts. He always looked at the vacant chairman anxiously, which was the position reserved for Isrel.
The emperor's long-term failure not only made the nobles in the imperial capital ups and downs, but also made the royal family members anxious.
And Vildani suddenly spoke, "Hey, will Queen Edna attend the celebration this time?"
She looked at the last woman with silver hair, a slender golden-eyed woman who appeared, and said in a low voice: "It's strange that she hasn't attended a similar celebration for at least twelve years."
"This time his Majesty is not going to play, she must come out to suppress the situation." Brandon felt nothing strange. He said to himself: "It seems that the fifth princess and the eldest prince will not come this time. This is not surprising. April is also the assessment time for Guantian Baita. The little moves of the duke in the eastern province must have made the eldest prince worry."
Joshua didn't think so much. After remembering the appearance of these people, he no longer paid attention to them, but he did not pay attention to others, but others would pay attention to him. Although the presence of the warrior No. 3 and Firefly was greatly reduced due to his blockade, he could not stand the entire hall. Most of them were waiting and focused on this low-key legendary strongman.
"Is he coming from his real body?" Some nobles have already begun to feel a little restless. They all know how powerful the true body of the legendary powerful man has. Although the control of the warrior is worthy of trust, there will definitely be corresponding corresponding measures in the Morley Palace, they are still a little worried about their lives.
Several princes and daughters, and even the queen who came to the hall finally noticed the warriors. Queen Edna glanced at Joshua and Brandon and her group normally, and then waited for the time to arrive in her seat. The seventh prince Alva and the second prince Dimore both looked at the warriors with a strange look, but they didn't say anything, quietly closing their eyes aside to rest.
The fourth prince was like Queen Edna. He just glanced over and stopped paying attention, but he secretly walked away from Joshua a few steps away from Joshua. The third prince and the sixth prince were whispering in the corner. As soon as these people stood in the hall, they vaguely divided the camp with the surrounding nobles.
"It seems that Count Radcliff did not change his camp because of his own strength... He was still with the people of the Kaos family, which is so strange." This is what the Third Princess said.
"Don't talk too much. Of course, the person who can achieve legends is not something you and I can measure... No matter what his camp is, you can make a good relationship with him as much as possible and you will never make mistakes." This is what the Sixth Prince said. His voice was very light, almost just moving his lips. Perhaps only his sister who is familiar with him could hear it: "My think tank and I have a deep study of him. As long as this count does not provoke him, he is a very easy-to-talk person. Give more gifts, keep some friendship, control his subordinates and don't let them provoke this person or provoke his territory. Forget it, as long as they are from the Northerners, don't provoke him. He can kill the Fertao family and the Suward family for his own men."
The communication between the two was very hidden, and even the strong man was difficult to detect, but for Joshua, it seemed to be ringing in his ears. He looked at the two of them sideways, and he could even guess that this was probably what they said to him.
The tactful person is indeed great, and he deserves to be taught by the royal family, but he did not come here today to have a relationship with such a few young people.
He raised his head and looked in the direction where Queen Edna was. As if he felt something, the queen also looked up and looked at the warriors.
Queen Edna... This woman is definitely not simple. It was because of her legacy in her previous life that the seventh prince, who had no chance to inherit the throne, became one of the most powerful competitors to the throne, but in her previous life she disappeared inexplicably after Isrell's death, and I don't know why.
Although the rumors were about to die for love, and there were rumors that the queen was assassinated by someone, the warrior felt that this should not be the case. The first point was completely impossible. Even now, Joshua could see the woman's suppressed ambition in her heart, and the second point was not to mention the legendary warrior. As a legendary warrior, he could see the identity of the other party's extremely strong man at a glance. In addition to Isrel and Master Nostradamus, there may not be anyone in the entire empire that can kill this seemingly weak queen.
Time passed by minute by minute, noon was coming. Seeing that Isrell was not here for a long time, even the people in the hall were all big figures who had been through a long time, the atmosphere began to feel a little commotion.
But neither Queen Edna, Joshua, Brandon and others were all calm and did not feel strange about it.
The real big shot should have appeared in the end.
Ding, Ding, the bell in Morley Palace rang. It was noon and there was some riots in the hall, let alone other people and tourists waiting outside.
But Joshua raised his head.
In his perception, there were obvious and extremely time-space fluctuations over the entire Three Mountains Holy City. The fluctuations were so grand that they made him feel familiar, making the warriors extremely friendly.
Here comes.
He thought so.
Chapter completed!
