Chapter 599

"Boss, Northriel is coming."

Sicarius walked into the luxury suite on the top floor of the airship and reported to Rennes.

Ren, who was immersed in reading, closed the mobile phone library, stood up and walked to the window, looking across the deck to the horizon ahead. The airship departed from Modu early in the morning, and after a half-day flight, it finally arrived at the capital of the empire in the afternoon.

On the endless plain, a huge city appeared.

Northriel!

Ren sighed, as the capital of the Orienth Empire, Northriel is not only the largest city in the empire, but also the largest city in the world today.

It is an inland city with only a few not-so-wide rivers leading to the seashore hundreds of kilometers to the east. Here, there are also countless forces gathered in it.

Northriel has developed from a small city in the second era to the present. Its long history of tens of thousands of years bears countless legends and cultural heritage, and it has the reputation of "the capital of all capitals".

For more than a thousand years, Northriel has had only one true master.

That is Master Ogulevi.

Now that the great wizard has "disappeared", Northriel's undercurrents are surging, and the once supreme Nether floating city has become the focus of competition among the major forces of the empire.

Ren looked into the distance.

An upside-down mountain hangs to the west of Northriel, blowing in the wind high above the clouds. Dozens of high towers stand on its cross section. Even if you are hundreds of miles away, you can feel the magnificence of the floating city.

Nether Floating City is the world's first floating city, much bigger than Wezeland.

It is not fixed in one place like Wezeland, but flies around Northriel on a fixed route all the time. The speed is not fast, and it takes about ten days to complete a circle.

This floating city has too many meanings, wizard faction, politics, economy...

Ren watched for a moment before looking away.

Soon after, the airship sailed over the city of Northriel. The dense buildings on the ground could not see the end at a glance. It constitutes the style and appearance of the capital, and the degree of prosperity is even higher than that of Momo.

Rennes' airship landed at an airship in the city.

"Let's go down."

There were no other passengers on the airship, and he only took Borch and two teams of Ultramarines with him on this trip.

Athena was originally very interested in coming to Northril to observe, but Ren persuaded her to stay at the Fort Vajra base on the grounds that there were not many opportunities for Master Oroin to instruct swordsmanship, and she must not miss it.

After weighing it, Athena felt it made sense.

Ren secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Viola has been in Northriel for the past few years, and she must meet her when she comes here this time. It would be too embarrassing to bring Athena with her.

He didn't want to go through that day again.

bang bang bang...

Twenty-four Ultramarines rode on the Kodos and ran out of the rear hatch of the airship in two rows. The two leading Ultramarines held high the square battle flag in their hands, and the crest of the Augustus family was embroidered on the red flag , a golden warhammer crossed with a crescent moon.

Ren called to the golden three-headed dragon beside him, "Bolch."

"boss……"

Borch grimaced reluctantly.

Ren saw through his mind at a glance, and promised with a smile: "As long as you agree, the debt of a thousand gold shields will be reduced every day."

"Okay!" Borch's eyes lit up, and he smiled eagerly, "Boss, it's up to you."

"When did my words not count?" Ren asked back.

Burch nodded repeatedly.

He didn't hesitate any longer, and his strong figure transformed into a tall and handsome war horse.

The whole body is covered with hard golden scales, the red mane is like a burning flame, there are a pair of wide flame wings on both sides, and the horse's tail is also a dazzling long flame tail. The eyes of the horse's head are as black as ink, emitting wisps of misty shadows energy.

Borch has half of the blood of the golden dragon, and the golden dragon is good at transfiguration, but it is rarely used.

This is his "Golden Scale Pegasus" form.

Ren's soul eyes have seen through Borch's transformation ability long ago. The body of the golden three-headed dragon is too large, and it is inconvenient to be a mount in a non-combat state. The Golden Scale Pegasus is the most suitable mount form.

He had been sternly rejected by Borch in the past, even if he was forced to use the Soul Control Circle, he would not bow his head.

Until recently.

Boerqi went into business with Mrs. Xia Lanwei, but was fooled by that steel dragon for some reason. In just a few years, he invested in many projects. Giving everything is not enough to pay off the debt.

Now Borch is so poor that he doesn't dare to renege on his debts, so he can only beg on Ren.

After Ren asked, he found that this silly dragon was definitely tricked by Mrs. Xia Lanwei.

He didn't understand business routines at all, and he didn't have any talent for doing business. He didn't know he was cheated, thinking that he was unlucky, and that he got Mrs. Xia Lanwei involved. I'm sorry for her, and he only wanted to make money to pay off his debts.

Ren did not expose Mrs. Xia Lanwei's deception.

He lent Borch millions of gold shields to pay off the debt, and then got the money back from Mrs. Xia Lanwei, without spending any money, and became Borch's creditor, and then took the opportunity to make a claim.

The power of money finally made this proud dragon bow his head.

Ren rode on the Golden Scale Pegasus.

Sitting comfortably on the steady and generous horseback, with his legs lightly touching his abdomen, without making a sound, Borch understood the intention to step forward and walked out of the cabin under the arch of the Ultramarines.

Many people outside the airship are already looking forward to it.

Ren, who was riding on a horse, looked around. The Ultramarines controlled the Kodos to stop. There was a group of well-equipped Transcendents around them. There were about a hundred of them. Watch the lively crowd.

They wore the same silver armor, blue cloaks on their backs, crown-shaped badges on their chests, and enchanted spears in their hands, majestic and majestic.

Rick Praetorian!

This extraordinary legion is the oldest legion in the empire, created by the Alpha Empire as the emperor's personal guard. They played a key role in many major events in the history of the empire, especially the succession process of the throne, and there will always be the guards.

Now the Rick Guards are the guards of the Consul, their status has declined, but their strength has not diminished.

As soon as Ren came out, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Lord Lord Glamorgan!"

A middle-aged man in the robes of an imperial official rode forward. He was about forty years old, and his strength was mediocre. He was only a mid-level warlock, but he could be seen as a nobleman at a glance. He had an impeccable appearance and a sincere smile on his face. , introduced himself: "I am Amber Heard, and the acting consul welcomes the earl to Northril."

Ren nodded in response: "Thank you for the consul's enthusiasm, Baron Hurd came to welcome you."

The Baron Hurd was a commoner, and he was appreciated by Gnaeus at a young age and was appointed Minister of the Interior.

The Minister of the Interior, the Minister of Military and Political Affairs, and the Minister of Finance are one of the three cabinet thrones. They are in charge of the empire's public security, transportation, demon removal and many other affairs. extremely high.

Gnaeus sent him to greet him, which shows the importance he attaches to himself.

"Everyone in Northriel is looking forward to seeing the demeanor of the Earl. It is a great honor for me to welcome the Consul today." Amber said flatteredly, "I have been in Northriel. The best hotel in Riel, 'Fissingpafen Hotel', has arranged accommodation for the Earl and your subordinates, please go and rest, and in the evening, the Consul will welcome you in the 'Dutch Palace'."

As he spoke, Ren watched the other party with the eyes of the soul.

Although Amber is calm on the surface, the constantly changing color of his soul shows that his mood is not calm at the moment, and he is full of curiosity and anxiety about himself.

Ren smiled, "Okay, please lead the way."

"please!"

Amber turned around and gestured to the centurion of Rick's Imperial Guard, who was a legendary iron guard, and immediately ordered the Imperial Guard to open the way. Half of the Janissaries were in front, Rennes and the Ultramarines were in the middle, Amber rode alongside Rennes, and the rest of the Janissaries were at the rear.

The ground shook, and the team ran out of the airship take-off and landing field in a mighty manner.

When the figure of the Imperial Guard disappeared on the street, there was an uproar and discussion among the crowd watching.

"Goddess, the one just now is the Earl of Glamorgan!"

"Who else could it be?"

"Your Excellency the Consul actually sent Baron Hart to the take-off and landing field to greet him, and he was escorted by a centurion guard. This Earl is really impressive!"

"Yeah...he's still so young..."

"Don't you think it's strange?" Someone touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "The Earl of Glamorgan has been a member of the Empire for five years, and it's his first time to come to Northriel, and he is so high-profile, with such a big face. The array..."

As soon as this statement came out, the faces of the people around changed slightly.

Northriel is the political center of the empire. From nobles to civilians, they are all keen to discuss politics, and they can chat with anyone on the street. Therefore, political sensitivity is much higher than that of people outside the capital. Someone immediately guessed part of the truth.

Where the Imperial Guards and Ultramarines passed by, cars and pedestrians on the street gave way one after another, and then cast surprised glances.

These whispers came into Ren's ears from the voice of all things, causing the corners of his mouth to rise slightly.

"The people of the imperial capital are very talkative." Ren said lightly.

Amber, who was riding beside him on horseback, responded immediately, and said with a smile: "This is one of the hobbies of Northriel residents. It is close to the center of power, so it will inevitably be affected. If the Earl hears any malicious words, please don't let go." In their hearts, they are just talking and enjoying themselves.”

Ren nodded.

The streets of Northriel are very wide, roughly similar to Modu, gradually approaching the center of the city, and some surrounding buildings begin to show traces of time, revealing the vicissitudes and thickness, which makes people awe-inspiring.

The landing pad is located in the south-central part of Northriel, not far from the Archon's mansion.

A few miles away, you can see a huge and ancient castle. It is located in the center of Northriel, facing south, covering a very large area. There are many palaces, towers and gardens inside, just like a castle in a city. This is the world-renowned "Vouberden Castle".

This huge castle with a history of 2,400 years contains hundreds of buildings on a huge scale. The core is a magnificent palace complex called "Rick Palace", which is the name of the Rick Guards. source.

The Rick Palace was originally the imperial palace.

Now there is no emperor in the empire, and the Rick Palace is also sealed up, guarded by the imperial guards at all times, and even the consuls cannot enter.

The residence of the consul is also in the castle of Vauberden, in the southwest corner, next to the Palace of Reik.

The Feissingpafen Hotel arranged by Amber is outside the castle of Fuberden, only three or four miles away. This is a manor-style high-end hotel with a high price. The top rich aristocrats and big shots.

Surrounded by the Guards and Ultramarines, Ren arrived at the door of a luxurious villa in the hotel.

"Congratulations, Lord Earl!"

Dozens of good-looking young maids greeted in unison. They were all dressed in well-fitting clothes, which set off the graceful curves of their bodies. They all looked well-trained, but they still couldn't help peeking at the man on the horse. At the same time, Ren tried his best to show off his figure and appearance, with anticipation in his eyes.

Ren glanced away, and the eyes of the soul found several maids with different intentions.

"Let's all back down."

He said something to the glamorous woman in the lead who claimed to be the welcome manager of the hotel. The disappointment in the eyes of the other party was hard to hide, but he left with the maid.

Amber also bid farewell, leaving only a team of twelve guards.

The Ultramarines led the Kodo beasts into the stables, handed them to the hotel servants to feed them, and then entered the manor villa to search it, and arranged shifts to be on duty at key points in the villa.

"Boss, there is no problem." Sicarius came back to report.

Ren nodded.

In fact, he has already looked at the entire manor villa with all-seeing eyes, and found nothing unusual, but as his personal guard company commander, Sicarius should not be negligent in his responsibility, or he can come alone up.

Living in a luxurious suite on the third floor of the villa, two Ultramarines guarded the door.

Ren didn't rest. He stood by the window and looked in the direction of Fuberden Castle. Looking over the tall city wall, he could only see the dome of Reik Palace.

Even if it is only a corner, it also shows the majesty and magnificence of the palace.

Not long after, the sky darkened.

As night falls, the city of Northriel is full of lights, and the Nether floating city in the high sky in the west is more dazzling in the night than in the daytime. The halo formed by circles of magical aura spreads out like ripples, as if a second sky rises in the sky. Round moon.

A luxurious carriage with the emblem of the consul stopped in front of the villa on time.

Ren went downstairs and got into the car.

A group of Ultramarines walked together, protected the carriage and drove out of the hotel, towards the ancient castle.
