Chapter 508: Principality of Lordan!

The drizzle was falling.

When the cold moon is approaching, this kind of rain is most likely to bring people a bone-chilling cold. Even the most hardworking farmers would not choose to work at this time, because it is likely to cause a cold or even more serious injuries.

However, in the largest city of Maca, Vinsa Territory of the Principality of Lodean, the atmosphere today is unusual.

The muddy and dirty city gates in the past have been cleaned up and filled with people. Everywhere you can see women in luxurious clothes and nobles with serious faces, as well as servants serving them, with colorful umbrellas on their heads, like small flowers.

The pedestrians and farmers entering the city were driven away by the fully armed guards before they approached, attracting waves of attention and discussion.

"My God, all the nobles in Maca are here. Could it be that His Majesty the King has arrived?"

Several merchants who were driving donkey carts were also driven aside. They were considered to be knowledgeable and talked about it. One who had just returned from abroad took a closer look and exclaimed, which attracted a burst of laughter from the people around him.

"You are ignorant. Didn't you see the gentleman standing in the middle? That's Count Carl, the king's court minister!"

"His Majesty the King arrived two days ago and is in Maca City!"

The merchants who knew the inside story were very proud, which attracted a burst of exclamations. Even though they had been traveling all over the country for so long, this kind of scene was also the first time they had seen it.

"Who are all these nobles waiting for?"

"There has been no news of other kings and princes visiting recently!"

The eyes were cast on the merchant who revealed the information. The latter's face froze. How could he know this, but he still forced himself to speak.

"You will know when you wait. It must be a great man!"

The rain kept falling, and the atmosphere was not harmonious.

Many nobles had been standing near the city gate for almost an hour. Even though they had thermoses to warm their hands, the cold weather eroded many beautiful ladies and young ladies who were dressed exquisitely and began to stamp their feet without caring about their image. They never stopped talking in low voices.

"Who is this new earl?"

"I heard he is a great man!"

The two noble ladies whose faces were frozen blue whispered and rubbed their hands and stamped their feet without caring about their image. They didn't look good. They stood on the periphery of the crowd. They were just some small nobles, and their identities were the most embarrassing.

If they came, they would just serve as some green leaves to set off the background, and no one would even look at them. But if they didn't come, they would definitely be envied. Otherwise, it would be so comfortable to warm up by the fireplace at home in the cold weather.

"But we are just cold on the body, unlike some people, who are probably cold from the bottom of their hearts."

A woman laughed gloatingly and looked at the people in the middle. There were men and women among them, all of whom were extraordinary, but now their faces were as ugly as if their mothers had died.

"Hehe, if it is not yours, you will have to give it back to others in the end."

Another woman also laughed in a low voice, and the coldness on her body seemed to be dispelled a little.

"Here we come!"

Suddenly, a knight galloping on a horse came quickly from the road ahead, shouting loudly.

The discussion stopped abruptly, and then many nobles lined up neatly at the door according to their status, and then the rich and melodious music suddenly sounded.

Accompanied by the music, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the front of the road, and two rows of knights wearing black armor, even the horses under their crotches were covered with armor, appeared in front of everyone.

But no matter the horse or the man, the eyes were not filled with the normal divine light, but a scarlet one, which made people feel terrified from the bottom of their hearts at a glance.

"What are these?"

"Could it be..."

The nobles in front of the city gate were all horrified, and some of those standing in front couldn't help but take a few steps back, as if they were ready to escape at any time.

"Keep quiet!"

The king's envoy, Earl Carl, swallowed his saliva and then shouted at the surroundings.

Rumble. Rumble.

Heavy footsteps gradually came, and two teams of black-armored knights quietly separated on both sides, and then a huge carriage appeared behind them. The carriage was pulled by two monsters covered with scales, nearly ten meters long from head to tail, with sharp teeth, giving people an indescribable sense of oppression.

"A dragon, actually using a dragon to pull a carriage!"

A noble exclaimed, and then immediately reacted, covering his mouth, with an unbelievable look in his eyes.

You have to know that it was a dragon. Although it was not a real dragon, it was also an extremely powerful monster. Any of them would be a terrifying killing machine on the battlefield. But now they were used as a tool to pull a cart?

The smelly breath filled the air. The two dragons stopped with a rumble and looked at everyone. The atmosphere became extremely quiet for a while. Only the sound of raindrops falling and the whistling wind could be heard.

After about half a minute, it was the king's special envoy, Count Carl, who mustered up the courage and walked towards the carriage, shouting loudly.

"His Majesty the King sent me to greet you, respected Count Green!"

"In the city of Maca, a grand banquet has been prepared for you. The entire Principality of Lord An welcomes your arrival!"

Under the strong pressure of momentum, Count Carl couldn't help but use honorifics. He walked past the dragon carefully and saw the door on the side of the carriage creaked and was gently pushed open.

Horn came out expressionlessly, still holding Green in his hand. He looked at everyone. There seemed to be an invisible barrier above his head, separating the rain. He stepped out of the carriage and nodded slightly.

"Lead the way."

snap, snap, snap

The silent knight, with both men and horses, followed the nobles, guarding Horn and Green in the middle, and arrived at the center of the city. A bald old man wearing a crown was already waiting at the door, surrounded by many nobles.

Horn pulled Green up the steps step by step, and saw the king coming up to him with a smile: "Welcome to the Principality of Lod'an, my Earl, you will receive the warmest welcome and hospitality."

But as he spoke, his words suddenly stalled, because behind Horn, two teams of black-armored knights also dismounted and followed him, their armors rubbing against each other and making a cold clanging sound.

"Be bold!"

A nobleman suddenly jumped out from behind the king, pointing at Horn, as if he was about to say something, but when Horn pointed lightly, he immediately stood there like a statue, speechless but unable to move, with fear in his eyes.

"Your Majesty the King, this is Green, son of Keyes, your new earl. I hope you have not forgotten the promise you made and will strictly abide by it."

Horn flicked his sleeves, looked past everyone, stood upright, and said "your new earl" in a tone that was almost as if he was talking about your new king.

The king's expression froze visibly, and then all kinds of emotions of fear and anger flashed through his eyes quickly. After meeting Horn's indifferent eyes, they disappeared at an even faster speed without a trace.

"Yes, sir, we will definitely keep our original promise."

In front of all the nobles, the king slowly bowed to Horn and Green, who was holding his hand.
