The prosperity of the imperial capital is as prosperous as before. Du Wei was born and raised in the imperial capital until he was thirteen years old, but because of his bad reputation, he rarely went out. When he came back this time, his identity was completely different. From a waste abandoned by his family, he became a mainlander.
A close disciple of the top legendary mage Gandolf, he was even vigorously attracted by the Magic Guild. At the same time, he also formed a good relationship with the Lister family...
Du Wei believed that even though his father was in the imperial capital, he must know all this information.
Sitting in the carriage, Du Wei did not open the window to look at the street scene outside. However, the noisy streets and the bustling sounds of people coming and going came through the window. The noise and bustle of the imperial capital were revealed through a window.
Thin car windows can't stop it.
After entering the imperial capital, Master Clark said goodbye and went back to the Magic Guild. He did not walk with Du Wei. But before leaving, he hinted at some meaningful words to Du Wei. Du Wei savored it carefully and understood.
The meaning is to suggest that he should go to the Magic Guild as soon as possible.
At this moment, no matter how noisy it was outside, Du Wei seemed to be uninterested in it all and just sat quietly in the carriage alone.
The convoy finally passed through the bustling long streets of the Imperial Capital, and finally arrived at the West District of the city, not far from the Imperial Palace. This place introduced an artificial river from the Lancang Canal to the north, and this artificial river entered the Imperial Capital.
, but surrounds the imperial palace, making the imperial palace a city within a city in the imperial capital. In times of war, this artificial river can even serve as a moat for the imperial palace. In the past, during the civil strife in the imperial capital, this artificial river played an important role.
Very important military role.
Just outside the main entrance of the palace facing south, there is a square about the size of two football fields. In the middle of the square is a giant statue of the founding emperor Aragon himself thousands of years ago. Riding on a horse
Above, a horse neighs and a man stands, with his front hooves raised high. Aragorn on the horse is holding a long sword and pointing at the sky, wearing armor, with gorgeous thorn flower patterns lingering on the armor...
This statue has a history of thousands of years and has gone through countless dynasty history in the imperial capital. The royal families of the past dynasties will also spend financial resources on repairs and repairs, so that after a thousand years, the statue is still lifelike without any trace of damage. The statue is located in a
In the center of the huge fountain, and on the outer pools, twelve water columns spray slowly all year round. This is a secret comparison to the twelve powerful and mysterious "Saint-Laurent" knights who surrounded His Majesty the founding emperor.
knight!
Under the square is a straight, flat road about ten meters wide. Viewed from the air, this road is like a straight sword, erected in the imperial capital. This road also divides the area south of the imperial palace.
It is cut into two parts. On the east side of the main road are the residences of some powerful and wealthy families in the imperial capital (the Earl's Mansion of the Luo Lin family is also among them), while on the west side, downwards, are some noble but not directly responsible royal families.
The mansion of a nobleman.
Of course, there are two extremely important places in the imperial capital, namely the temple and the magic union. These two places are located in the east and west of the city respectively, facing each other far away.
Du Wei's motorcade went all the way to the wealthy area of the imperial capital south of the imperial city, turned onto a slightly quieter road, and finally stopped at the Earl's Mansion of the Luo Lin family.
In fact, the Luo Lin family, as a martial arts family in the empire, certainly has many family members. The most prominent one is of course the contemporary family patriarch, Earl Raymond. He holds a high position in the empire's headquarters, and there are also several others who are sideshows within the family.
The descendants, also named Luo Lin, also held various positions in some confidential departments of the imperial capital, with noble titles ranging from baron to viscount. These formed the Luo Lin family group in the imperial capital with Count Raymond as the core.
!
As the carriage stopped, Mader knocked lightly on the door and whispered: "Master, we are here."
Du Wei took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, showed a deep smile on his face, and then hummed.
As Mader opened the door, Duwei stepped out of the carriage, and only then, nearly a year later, returned to this place, this world, the place where he was born.
The Earl's Mansion is not very luxurious. Like many military families in the empire, the military's wealthy families are often not as luxurious as other big families. On the main entrance of the Earl's Mansion is the Luo Luo that Du Wei has been most familiar with since he was a child.
The emblem of the Lin family. Two crossed swords wrapped around iris flowers, with a crown on top...
Standing in front of the carriage, Du Wei raised his head and looked at the badge. After a long time, no one else dared to disturb the young master's contemplation. After a long time, Du Wei let out a long sigh.
Guards and servants had already come out to greet the Earl's Mansion, and servants, under the command of Mader, led the following carriages in through the back door of the Earl's Mansion...
Du Wei walked into the gate of the Earl's Mansion, and the tall man he saw face to face was the Captain of the Guards of the Earl's Palace, Earl Raymond's confidant, and the Captain of the Alpha Guards.
When he was young, the Earl had high hopes for Du Wei, and was once prepared to let Alpha teach Du Wei martial arts in person. However, it was only later that he realized that Du Wei had no talent, so he gave up. However, Du Wei knew that this Alpha guard
Captain, is actually a powerful warrior. As a confidant of Count Raymond, this Alpha Guard Captain followed the Count in his military career in the military camp, and also led several naval expeditions to the South Seas with the Count.
He has made many achievements. He is also a well-known and powerful man in the imperial capital.
Alpha is tall and has broad shoulders. He once hugged Du Wei when he was a child. After a year, the head guard still has a strong look on his face. Although he is almost middle-aged, his waist is straight and he is wearing a warrior suit.
The robe is like a sword hidden in the scabbard. Although it looks harmless, once it is taken out of the scabbard, its sharpness will be unforgettable!
Alpha, who has blond hair, is also a famous handsome man in the imperial capital. When he was young, it is said that he was popular with many noble girls in the imperial capital, but he has always followed Count Raymond loyally. Even strangely, when he came to
Years passed, but I still haven’t gotten married and had children, and am still single.
Alpha, who is in his forties, looks as if he is only about thirty years old. His years of intensive fighting skills make him look extremely young. Only the flashing eyes in his eyes reveal a hint of age.
Vicissitudes of life.
Facing Du Wei, although he was the count's number one confidant and had a higher status than one person in the count's palace, Alpha still quickly walked up to Du Wei, knelt down on one knee, and made a standard courtesy for a family minister.
A dozen elite guards following Alpha also knelt down on one knee at the same time.
Du Wei smiled and quickly supported his father's number one confidant with both hands. Although he was a young master, in his father's heart, this good-for-nothing son was probably not as important as this loyal old subordinate.
"Master, you are back." Alpha stood up and said with a smile: "It's been a hard journey. The Earl is waiting for you in the study. Please go see him as soon as you get home."
Du Wei nodded.
It seems that although this old man still doesn't like me very much, his weight in his heart is probably a lot heavier now, right? If it were the past and he came back, he would only come out with a few servants at most.
Okay. This time, he actually asked Alpha to go out to greet him, which gave him a little face.
"Uncle Alpha." Du Wei coughed and deliberately put on the innocent smile of a young man: "It's been a year since I last saw you. You are getting more and more energetic. It seems that your martial arts have improved again. In next year's competition, we will
If you appear in the Lin family, you will definitely steal the show."
Alpha just smiled faintly and said nothing. He had followed the count for thirty years and had never seen any big storms. He was also tempered to be extremely calm. Even Du Wei was wearing a rare black robe of a bachelor of magic in the magic union.
, there was no trace of surprise on his face, he just made a gesture and led Du Wei to the Earl's Mansion.
Along the way, Du Wei learned that the Alpha Guard was reticent by nature and didn't say anything to him. He just looked at the furnishings at home casually.
It’s been a year since we last saw each other, and my home seems a bit more luxurious. I walked through a corridor and turned around a yard, but found some strange things in the yard. When I walked through the garden, I saw some maids at home nervously picking.
Bouquets, bouquets made of fresh flowers, colorfully placed aside.
Du Wei knew that this was to prepare for a very important custom festival in Roland Continent: the Summer Festival.
As the day approached, the faces of the servants who came and went at home had a festive atmosphere of joy. Seeing Du Wei following Alpha, these servants recognized him as the eldest young master who had been away from home for a year, and they all quickly bowed.
salute.
"It seems like things have changed a lot at home," Du Wei said casually.
Surprisingly, the taciturn Alpha Guard Captain actually answered: "Yes, your Majesty has gained your Majesty's trust over the past year. Your Majesty has given you many gifts this year. Now the warehouses in the mansion have been renovated."
Du Wei smiled slightly and glanced at Alpha, only to find that Alpha was also looking at him. A strange look flashed in the warrior's eyes, and then he calmed down. However, when he was approaching the inner courtyard, Alpha seemed to speed up his pace deliberately.
, faintly walking side by side with Du Wei. Just as Du Wei's heart moved, he suddenly heard a whisper from Alpha: "Young Master, the situation in the imperial capital is unclear recently. After you come back, for the sake of safety, you should go out less
For good."
Du Wei was slightly surprised, but when he looked up, Alpha was looking straight ahead, with a calm expression on his face, as if he had never spoken.
