Chapter 314
Hot Buds
On the fourth day after Prince Durant of the Dragon Empire left Fenghuo Town, it was Li Junshan who planned to say goodbye to Anna and others to go to the capital of the Lance Empire that Fenghuo Town welcomed another big man.
This big man came from Auston, the imperial capital of the Lance Empire, which is far away from Dragon City. It should be two big man, but considering the identity of Prince Winnie, the Duke of Aldridge, Li Junshan knew, the current patriarch of the Harriman family is a little less than that.
There were not many followers, and the luxurious carriage stopped at the entrance of the town. Two big figures walked towards Li Junshan outside Anna's tavern under the protection of three followers.
The three close followers were two middle-aged warriors and a gray-haired old magician. The magician Li Junshan was probably a magic god.
Once the Blood-colored Valley was liberated, there were naturally more masters in each empire's principalities.
"Sanctuary, this is His Highness Prince Winnie." Duke Aldridge, wearing a black robe embroidered with gold edges, stood in front of Anna's tavern, and introduced to Li Junshan who was walking out in a respectful voice.
Aldridge's expression was very complicated. Even though he wanted to be as steady and peaceful as possible, when he saw Li Junshan standing in front of him with a blank expression, the head of the Harriman family could not control his emotions at all.
"Good morning, dear Lord of the Holy Land."
Prince Winnie bowed to Li Junshan excitedly. Judging from the situation, he really wanted to shake hands with this Holy Land Lord, who is now known as Zhen Yalan Continent, but Li Junshan's expression dispelled this idea.
"Do you think we are late?" Prince Winnie thought nervously.
Fenghuo Town is a unique and important geographical location. Naturally, the Lance Empire cannot be without a spy here. Long before entering Fenghuo Town, Prince Vini learned about what Prince Durant of the Dragon Empire had happened three days ago.
In exquisite aristocratic clothing and carefully trimmed hair and beard, Prince Winnie's face was actually covered with a thin layer of white powder. The perfume smell on his body was obviously not comparable to those cheap perfumes of dancers. Li Junshan smelled a bit like acacia flowers.
"Dear Prince" Li Junshan smiled on his face: "Welcome to your arrival."
Prince Vini sighed in his heart, and said with the most appropriate smile on his face: "The journey is long. His Majesty the King and we received news from the Holy Land two days ago. They came all the way but they were still late. Originally, His Majesty the King wanted to come in person, but he was a little ill recently and could not travel a long distance. Your Majesty asked me to apologize to you on his behalf."
"Your Highness, Prince, are you polite." Li Junshan smiled at him, and then looked at Duke Aldridge on the side.
"Honor"
"Don't dare," Aldridge could obviously feel that Li Junshan was not very friendly to him, and said in a little panic: "Sanctuary, you will threaten the sudden transformation and invisibility of all races in the Yalan continent, and your reputation is unparalleled. How dare I call you a title like you?"
Looking at this fearful and terrified old duke, thinking of the elegance he talked in front of him five years ago and the confidence in strategizing, Li Junshan suddenly couldn't hate it.
It is true that Aldridge wanted to add a strong bargaining chip to the Harriman family on the political stage of the Reims Empire, so he proposed a blood-colored narrow valley to Li Junshan, but if Li Junshan insisted on going alone, no one could force him.
Too many things have happened in the past five years. Even if the process is difficult and dangerous enough, when looking back at the past, Li Junshan does not regret his decision.
In five years, too many things have changed.
Li Junshan was looking at Aldridge, but the latter looked at Li Junshan with some anxiety.
Li Junshan stood alive in front of Aldridge, and the old duke still couldn't believe it. He couldn't believe that a young summoner of a family reached the peak of his profession five years later and became a sacred summoner.
Thirty years in Hedong and Thirty years in Hexi, but only five years in the past, the status of the two was completely reversed.
Looking at Aldridge, Li Junshan couldn't say much hatred, but he didn't have much friendship. No one would like to feel that he was treated as a bargaining chip by others, even if it was just the past.
A dozen diners who had come to eat early in the morning bowed and quietly came out from behind Li Junshan.
"Please please inside." Li Junshan turned his body and made a gesture of inviting the two big shots, but Prince Winnie enthusiastically returned to the same position and walked in with Li Junshan.
Anna's immune adaptability is comparable to an alien. After seeing a prince, the second prince who appeared did not bring much shock to her. It is estimated that there is a king standing in front of her now, and she may be surprised.
Sitting at the counter counting a lot of gold and silver coins, Anna's eyes were full of golden light, and she looked up at the prince and duke who had walked in with Li Junshan.
"Come?" Anna had heard their identities and greeted the two of them enthusiastically. She moved her fat butts and didn't stand up at all.
Perhaps because of the information, Prince Vini and Aldridge did not dare to neglect the fat old woman at all. The two of them quickly smiled and said a few politely.
Anna greeted the waiter and lowered her head and started busy. The main reason was that the business had been so good these days. The mercenaries coming and going to Fenghuo Town learned that the most popular Holy Land Lord on the mainland is in this hotel. It is said that he had worked here before, and he created a dish that had never appeared on the mainland. From morning to goodbye, Anna was packed and crowded. Just busy counting money, Anna couldn't do it. In fact, in her eyes, gold and silver coins were much more cute than these nobles.
"Xiaoshan is really a hot commodity now." Anna smiled while counting the money.
"Your Highness, if you come half a day late, maybe we won't be able to meet you." Li Junshan picked up the tea and took a sip and said, "I'm going to go to the imperial capital."
"It's really a coincidence that we are here to welcome the adults to the imperial capital." Winnie also picked up the tea and took a sip. The prince was not thirsty, nor was he attracted by the fragrance of tea. In fact, he wanted to look closer to Li Junshan through this posture. He smiled and said, "Earl Crowel and Mrs. Linda have long been eager to see it."
"Earl?" Li Junshan was stunned, but then reacted and smiled a little embarrassedly, "I guess this Count was just awarded?"
Is Winnie's face covered in white powder red? Li Junshan couldn't tell it, but His Highness the Prince was obviously embarrassed in an instant.
"Considering Mr. Clauer's extensive knowledge and dedication to the imperial cultural cause, His Majesty the King personally enthroned him as earl not long ago." Winnie's facial muscles were a little stiff.
Li Junshan smiled slightly and did not continue to tangle about this issue that would only make Prince Winnie more embarrassing. He was completely sure that his father Craul was promoted from viscount to earl, which was definitely something that happened in the past few days after the destruction of the Blood-colored Valley.
"Have they lived well in the past few years?" Li Junshan looked at Prince Winnie.
"Very good." Prince Winnie's mouth twitched slightly and said, "Five years ago, Bloody Valley issued a wanted order to search for the whereabouts of the adults. After His Majesty the King and the Duke discussed it, he took Earl Claule and Mrs. Linda to the imperial capital to protect it."
"Haha." Li Junshan smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes.
"I don't want to care about this issue whether it is a protection or a guard. The fault is not someone, and no one would have thought that the person in the Blood-Secret Valley was actually a leader of the demon clan." Li Junshan said with a gun and a stick in his speech: "I will not be entangled in this issue, of course, the premise is that they are safe, and they have not suffered any incidents that I cannot accept in the past five years."
"Let's leave tomorrow." Li Junshan did not give Winnie another chance to explain, and he was not used to the silence of socializing among the nobles.
"By the way, the orcs are going to be called back." Li Junshan took a sip of tea.
This short sentence was like a thunderclap, and Winnie and Aldridge were shocked.
"What?" Prince Winnie's face twisted. It seemed that the powder on his face must be high-end products, but it did not rust down like Li Junshan expected.
"You heard it right." Li Junshan gently put down his teacup and said, "Half a month ago, the Orc Empire of the Sahara Plain sent an envoy to communicate with a large elf tribe in the Luoyue Mountains to launch a counterattack on the human kingdom."
"Are the orcs crazy?" Prince Vini was not a parasite full of heart and only knew how to enjoy themselves. He reacted in an instant and said hurriedly: "The war between humans and orcs has lasted for thousands of years. The orcs have retreated along the desert between the Rocking Moon Mountains and the dark swamps. It was not until they retreated all the way to the Sarah Plain four hundred years ago. Now they want to fight back. Even if all the troops of the orcs have speeds comparable to the Silver Wolf Cavalry, this march is an exaggerated number. The number of orcs is not large, so how much logistics power must be used? Not to mention anything else, the orcs have an amazing appetite. What do they eat on the way?"
Li Junshan shook his head and said, "I don't know this, but it seems that the orcs are very confident. I think they won't go crazy and make jokes about the future of the empire, so they naturally have some support. By the way, the orc empire has one of the top alchemists on the continent. As far as I know, there are four of them who are as high as forty meters. Minus my one has damaged ones, there are three. I wonder if this alchemist has any other unknown alchemy works."
"Forty meters?" Prince Winnie, who just felt a little out of control, was surprised again.
The real scene is always more shocking than the language. Li Junshan took Vijing and Aldridge along the backyard of the tavern to a flat ground. When he released the steel puppet lying on the ground, His Royal Highness and the Duke gasped, and Tengteng couldn't help but take a few steps back, completely stunned.
Both of them have heard of the six steel puppets made by Renatus, the most famous alchemist in the Dragon Empire, and have also seen the scale map, but they are far inferior to the steel puppet lying on the ground like a hill in front of them.
"Can you create such a huge puppet, can you really have any way to kill the orcs back?"
After seeing the Iron Puppet, this idea came to Prince Vini and Aldridge's mind at the same time.
