Chapter 1,215 Unexpected Trouble
People walking on the road are dressed in much the same style. Of course, this does not refer to consistency in style; Speaking of which, it is not much different from what you can see in the holy city of Estali, except that there are fewer magicians.
But the spirit of the people in the Imperial City of Nineveh was completely different. Everyone walks with their heads held high. Even the wild dogs and cats on the road looked arrogant. It shows their pride as people of the imperial city, but not the annoying arrogance with their noses pointing upward. The whole city looks lively and positive.
I still remember a saying from my hometown: If you don’t have a BJ, you don’t know your official status. This sentence also applies to the imperial city of Nineveh, the capital of the Gwana Empire.
Especially in this empire, all high-status nobles will gather in this prosperous city unless there is a special reason; and their respective fiefs will be handed over to family members or close associates, who are only responsible for enjoying themselves in the imperial city. Tax Benefits. If anyone can tell, the empire is changing from a feudal system to a centralized system.
The first step is for the emperor to put all the important people under his nose. Therefore, compared with the Holy City of Estali, although there are fewer people dressed as magicians here, there are many more nobles or servants of nobles - some of them have noble status themselves, and some do not.
There are no cars running around on the road, but retro and gorgeous horse-drawn carriages running around, just like the scene in the Holy City a few years ago. It can be said that it would be very embarrassing for a person of some status to travel without a magnificent carriage and without a glamorous knight and horse as a guide.
But there is another saying in my hometown: A big tree must have dead branches, and a large number of people must have idiots.
What will happen when a very slender man in black robe walks on the road with two delicate beauties?
A pick-up scene that was so vulgar that someone thought it would never happen in reality was played out before their eyes. A certain aristocratic talent riding in a two-wheeled carriage drunkenly got out of his gorgeous carriage with his family's crest inlaid with gems. Of the eight attendant knights, four dismounted and four were immediately on alert. The group of people surrounded Lin and the other three.
"Oh, two beautiful ladies, letting your feet touch the soil is a sin that we noble gentlemen cannot bear. Do you have the honor to invite you two to my carriage? Maybe you will have the opportunity to attend my banquet in the evening. , encounter a beautiful love."
After the drunken noble invited a fake girl and a demon girl in vain, he glanced at someone up and down, and said: "Magician, according to my magic training, the robe you are wearing is not bad. Like this Well, I'll buy it for you x Kil (10 gold) and give it to me directly." After saying that, not only did an old magician with white hair and beard appear behind the noble, but his family knights also secretly approached. .
To be honest, if someone has been wandering around in the Lost Land for so long, even in the Southwest Peninsula, which is known as a wild land, the nobles there will not do this kind of forced buying on the street in a big city, and also pick up other girls. things. Then in the central area of the Lost Land with the longest cultural history, we met the capital of a powerful empire. Lin was so surprised that he was speechless. After a while, he turned around and asked about the demon prince:
"Well, is this style of play popular here?"
The transvestite wearing a scarlet phoenix robe had a golden hairpin swaying slightly on her head, but her hair color did not change. Because this guy wears a wig, it is the personal belongings of Fen and his two young apprentices. He pretended to have a soft voice, with a bit of coquettishness, and after giving a wink, he said softly: "Sir, the good things we have are not just the magician's robes. I think, such a thing You can use it better."
As he spoke, Azad held the unsheathed sword tied to his waist in front of him with both hands.
"——This is a hakakiri."
Hakakiri is almost synonymous with magical weapons. As long as you are a warrior, you will not be moved by it until you see it. Everyone thinks that they will be the chosen one and will definitely be recognized by Haggiri. Little did they know that the actual situation was completely different.
The drunken noble in front of him was obviously not the kind of person who could know the inside story. Maybe he's not good at swordsmanship, and he's also not good at magic, but that doesn't stop him from being able to carry a box cutter and rely on the strength of the weapon to reach the pinnacle of a warrior. He showed a greedy look and said, "Oh, beauty, are you going to dedicate this box to me?"
"It's not impossible to dedicate it to you." Azad pretended to be a girl and said sweetly: "But before that, please remember the name of this sakakiri, Insado."
"Because..." This familiar name scared the noble young man to the point of sobering up. He wanted to retreat, he wanted to call his guards to come forward and protect himself, but it was too late. In his eyes, there was only a flash of sword light and a heavy blow to the waist and kidneys!
Before Azad used Insado to slit the noble youth's neck, Lin kicked the boy away who was so frightened that he was sober. Then he used the flashing technique in dangerous ways to avoid Insadu's swing.
An enemy of that level would not allow Azad to pursue the opponent relentlessly even after missing a single blow. He just looked at the person who was blocking him with some annoyance. The strand of real hair exposed outside the wig turned bright red, like blood. "Anyone who disturbs my fun will die badly. Even you."
"If you could do this kind of thing, you would have done it long ago." Lin said sarcastically.
"Okay. Then if there is no good reason, I will always be angry. As long as I stay angry, many people will suffer. Do you think this is threatening?" Azad pretended to be that way again. the playful voice asked.
"The reason, you wait for me to think about it first. Okay, I have thought of it, how about this? Look, you haven't found the way yet anyway. It's rare for someone to come to your door without asking first. After asking, you can do whatever you want. , I will never stand in the way for the second time. How about this?"
Seeing Azad's exaggerated expression of displeasure, Lin knew that this man was stable for the time being. Only then did he turn to look at the nobles who had escaped and his followers. The guarding knights drew their weapons, but hesitated. The young aristocratic man was slumped on the ground, having already pissed himself with fear.
The old magician, on the other hand, did not run away or hide, but stood in front of the young man and looked at everyone warily.
The reputation of the Demon Prince and Insado was so great that they did not stop children from crying at night in the imperial city because they were not even allowed to mention them. Perhaps Azad's appearance would make it difficult for people who know him to recognize him for a while. But the ability to swing a sword like lightning cannot be faked. The old magician who had seen the portrait of the fourteenth prince of the empire did not bother to confirm whether this person was actually that person.
As for the young magician wearing a black artifact-level robe - someone who has been transformed into a demon and no longer looks like he is in his forties - originally thought that he was a lucky person to get this kind of magic. A treasure of a certain extent, and the hearts of two beauties that he should not be worthy of. But now it seems that's not the case at all.
Although the tall beauty did not make a move, the old magician could still smell the stink of the abyss from her body. However, the imperial city of Nineveh gathered all races in the land, including demons. It's not news that people like this are walking on the street. But when combined with the return of the Fourteenth Prince, the nature is completely different. A prince with demon blood...
Suddenly, his eyesight was dazzled, and the young magician wearing the black robe of the artifact disappeared from his eyes. The old magician knew that the first time he was dazzled, when the magician stopped Azad from killing his young master, was not a coincidence.
"Look, I explained it to you. So what you should do now is to prove your worth. Otherwise, I believe what happens next will not be what you like to see."
The old magician realized that the sound came from behind. He turned around and saw that the young man was already squatting next to his young master and talking. The frightened young aristocratic young man stared blankly at the extremely charming His Highness the Prince, unable to say anything or even have a normal reaction.
The old magician made no more unnecessary moves. Now he could see that the Fourteenth Prince alone was more than he could handle. All the guard knights present and himself were not enough to fight. Now there is a magician who can be evenly matched with the Fourteenth Prince, and a demon of unknown depth. It is useless to do anything on your own, so think about how to save your life.
Lin, who had not waited for a response, turned around and asked, "His Royal Highness, do you know this... um, noble Lord?"
"What a coincidence. I actually know him. In other words, I know this guy's family." Azad pointed at the ridiculously gorgeous family crest on the carriage that was decorated with gems.
Only then did Lin notice something special about the family crest. Maybe someone is not proficient in the heraldry of Lost Land, but in a world with a large number of powerful nobles, some basic common sense is still necessary. The characteristic of this badge is that it has a crown.
According to the rules of the aristocratic world of Midland, this means that this family has the blood of the royal family or royal family, or is a close associate of the king or emperor. Moreover, the confidant here does not just refer to a certain person in the family, but the kind of confidant who has served for generations.
"The Baron Muhashaybesi family is a small family that has served the royal family for generations. By the way, did I mention it? Although the world always likes to emphasize that I once killed all the emperor's personal guards, this achievement. But in fact, this achievement It's really embarrassing to put it on my head. Because not all the guards died, at least the old man of his family survived. I don't know where this kid ranks in his family, but I'm sure he has several elder brothers. Since he's already dead, I don't know if it will be his turn to be the first in line of succession. Well, I have to emphasize that the deaths of those people in his family were not caused by me."
