18. Under Prosperity

The magic caravan drove forward quickly, and the scenery on both sides of the road galloped backwards. Although the mountain scenery in the distance was immersed in the dark night, I could see that the airport at the foot of the mountain was getting farther and farther away from us, and the carriage was getting higher and higher on this road. I was surprised that I needed to look back and look down to see the small airport town behind me. The lights of the airport, which were originally connected like a sea of ​​gorgeous flowers, have now become as big as a matchbox.

The dark wheels rolled over the solid gravel and paved into a road dozens of meters wide. It was very stable and there was no slight bump. I was a little curious about what kind of magic pattern array was embedded in the bottom of the caravan. Everything here was so novel to me.

Mrs. Alia was probably a little tired. As the magic caravan was shaking gently, she fell asleep against the soft leather sofa. The maid next to her helped her take off the deer-skin boots. In just a moment, I saw that the round toes were like white pearls. She curled up and lay on the long sofa. She looked at her closed her eyes and fell asleep. My eyes couldn't help but fall on her round shoulders and exquisite collarbone. The skin as smooth as milk squeezed out a deep ditch on her chest. The maid blushed slightly and covered her velvet blanket. My face was a little embarrassed. She picked up the teacup on the table and sucked water, covering her faint embarrassment.

The maid kneeled on the carpet, straightening Mrs. Aliya's body so that she could sleep a little more comfortable. A faint smile appeared on her tender face, but she dared not show it.

I turned my head and looked out the car window. Every few dozen meters away on both sides of the road, there was a marble human-shaped sculpture more than ten meters high. At night, the sculptures stood on a huge marble base more than two meters high, lifelike and hidden in the dark night. I tried to stick my head out of the window, but in the end I couldn't see the faces of the sculptures clearly.

The huge sculptures of the marble pedestals were even bigger than the magic caravan we were riding in, so I slowly turned my attention to the window.

The carriage was driving south and was moving forward on a straight and gentle road. After two hours, the surrounding scenery seemed to have not changed much, and giant sculptures continued to slip past him, but the airport at the foot of the mountain had turned into the size of a match head, and the faint light became extremely blurred.

It takes about thirty kilometers away to make the light on the lighthouse so blurry! I was thinking secretly.

"Each sculpture is the embodiment of a hero of the Green Empire. On the stone foundation under their feet, they engraved their life stories. Jijia seems to be very interested in these statues!" Mrs. Alia's soft voice rang in her ears.

I turned my head and found that Mrs. Aliya, who was sleeping soundly on the sofa, had woken up. She looked at me with a lazy look, surrounded by a velvet blanket outside her dress, and was looking at me with curious eyes. Her radiant eyes became very gentle, and the charm of a mature young woman was fully displayed by her.

"Ah, it turns out that these statues are all heroes of the Green Empire. It seems that there are quite a lot of heroes in our empire!" I have no awe for these heroes, so I said without caring.

She didn't expect that I would be so calm. She was stunned for a moment, stared at me with wide eyes, and became even more curious about me.

Then she did not pause at all and continued: "Of course, these heroes witnessed the history of the entire Green Empire. There are also sculptures of five heroes left here in our Sloyd Province. Even if I don't say it, you must know who it is!"

"It's not the five heroes in the square outside the Magic Academy of Ivory Tower in Sloyd City, are they?" I couldn't help but blurt out.

Mrs. Alia said with great admiration in her eyes: "It is them, Xiatun, Aili, Koruli, Palubuy, Kemole, Rongyu. Sometimes I really want to return to that era of heroes and witness the glorious history of those heroes with my own eyes, rather than standing in front of their sculptures and looking at their remains!"

"Now, our Green Empire also has great heroes!" I argued.

A thoughtful smile appeared on the corner of Mrs. Alia's mouth and asked to me, "Are you talking about Emperor Charles the Great or Prince James?"

The current king of the Green Empire is Emperor Charles Angel Boulder. It is said that before he inherited the throne, this Emperor Charles held the most elite Lion Eagle Knights in his hand. He once fought for the Green Empire and expanded his territory. He was also a famous commander.

The current highest executive of Haiyinsi City and the supreme commander of the South Wind Legion is Prince James Angel Boulder. He led the South Wind Legion to station in Haiyinsi for nearly twenty years, and now he still firmly blocks the sea tribes' power from the sea area of ​​Haiyinsi City. He is also one of the most prestigious commanders of the Green Empire, as famous as Marshal Leonard, the supreme commander of the North Wind Legion.

Mrs. Alia did not mention the commander of the North Wind Legion. It seems that she has a deep grudge against this Grand Marshal Leonard.

However, it is obvious that Marshal Leonard, the Supreme Commander of the North Wind Legion, is not having a good life now. One of the reasons is that his policy of gentleness towards the barbarians on the ice and snow tundra has left Sloyd Province in dire straits in recent years. His North Wind Legion is only guarded on the south bank of the White Elephant River, and its jurisdiction is only from Sloyd City to Xinghai City.

This policy made most towns west of Sloyd, exposed to the eyes of the barbarians in the severe winter. It is precisely because of this that the barbarian tribes would carry out slave hunting operations in winter without restraint. Such decisions deeply touched the local aristocratic strength of Sloyd Province. The most dissatisfied with Marshal Leonard's actions were of course Jing Yue Aili of the Great Duke of Sloyd City, and the aristocratic forces in the western region of Sloyd Province.

It is said that Jing Yue Aili is now in the same situation as Marshal Leonard, and the nobles in El City do not buy the North Wind Legion's tent and set up their own guard camp Knights.

One-third of the North Wind Legion's military supplies were provided by Sloyd Province. I have heard that Jing Yue Aili directly told the quarantine officer of the North Wind Legion in the Grand Duke's Mansion: During the period when Leonard was in charge of the North Wind Legion, we should not raise a copper plate material from Sloyd Province. Our gold coins must arm the guard battalion in our city.

Mrs. Alia's words brought my heart back to reality from memory. She looked at the gray night outside the window and continued: "If it were during the day, you would see how spectacular these giant sculptures were on the mountain road. Statues of the Dukes of the Green Empire of All Ages were erected on this avenue. If we stood at the entrance of the Majaro Mountains and looked down, these statues were lined up on both sides of the road, and we could not see at all."

...

The carriage reached the only pass of the Majaro, the imperial capital, and walked a few kilometers away just by crossing a few kilometers of narrow valley.

Here is a pass pass that guards the throat of the imperial capital. A magnificent city wall hoveres like a huge python, hovering on the outermost mountain top of the circular crater of Majaro. This city wall made of huge rocks is built on a cliff hundreds of feet high. It is said that the powerful frost giants in the depths of the ice and snow tundra or the Bemon beasts in the temple of the Snow Mountains on the Pai Plateau cannot cross this city wall.

Only the dragon tribes in Dragon City can cross this cliff, but it is obvious that the forbidden spell-level forbidden air arrays in the fortresses above the cliff were prepared for the giant dragons.

Although it was already late at night, the pass here was still full of pedestrians preparing to pass the pass. It turned out to be a huge square, with hundreds of carriages parked in the square, and carriages kept driving into the square, and carriages were also inspected and slowly drove out of the pass. Everything was going on in silence, without any noisy sound, just like in the squares of the Football City, there were many guards holding long halberds constantly patrolling.

I couldn't help but want to see the defensive power, known as the most solid barrier of the Green Empire, "Majaro Pass". I couldn't wait to get out of the caravan, stand at the door of the caravan, and watch the coachman slowly drive the caravan to a prescribed area.

Fortunately, the square is brightly lit at this moment, allowing me to clearly see the layout of the square.

This huge square is like a huge arena, with a city wall dozens of meters high built around it, and there are many bows and arrows guarding it on it.

Unexpectedly, before we entered the Mazaro pass, we were under the surveillance of the bow and arrow guards just by doing routine inspections in front of the pass. The tauren Ruka followed honestly next to the magic caravan. His tall body had long attracted the attention of many guards at the pass.

Mrs. Alia's magic caravan slowly drove into a specific area, and the coachman obediently stopped the magic caravan.

At this time, two pass guards in light leather armor walked up and saw me wearing magic robe with awe in my eyes, but they were still looking at the Tauren without hesitation. The unscrupulous eyes made the Tauren feel a little annoyed. I took out a roll of the "sentiary contract" with the Tauren from my magic pocket and slowly unfolded in front of the pass guard.

The guard with a fur hat repeatedly confirmed on the contract scroll, then he let go of his nervousness and saluted me.

"You can take your entourage through the gates, Lord Magician," said the guard.

Mrs. Alia took out a golden badge from her arms. The golden badge shone in the flawless jade hand of the white jade. The arm of the badge she held reached out from the caravan's window and showed it to the guard at the gate to inspect.

The badge was actually a gold noble medal that symbolized the identity of the earl. I looked down at the bronze badge that symbolized the identity of the first-class baron on my chest. Obviously, the gap between the titles between me and Mrs. Alia was actually two levels away. Mrs. Alia was actually a countess.

I don't understand why Mrs. Ariya was entangled by the Viscount Auguste on Captain Mackintosh's airship. I thought to myself: Did it be deliberate?

"Let's go!" The level guard finally put a magic seal on the shaft of the magic caravan and shouted a word.

Then, as I watched silently, the magic caravan slowly drove into the mouth of the Majaro Pass. The inconspicuous magic seal emitted a light blue halo on the shaft. I could feel the magic symbols on it fading little by little. At this speed, the mark of this magic seal would completely disappear in an hour, which means that the validity period for this magic caravan is only one hour.

When the carriage reached the gate, I saw a huge head more than three meters high hanging on the tall city tower. The face with a ferocious expression was painted with red and white oil paint. There were two horns more than one meter long on the top of the head. The entire head was engraved with countless runes and was firmly nailed to the top of the main gate of the city wall. It was a big demon's head. I saw various descriptions of the most powerful existence in the hell demon clan on some ancient scrolls in the hand of Lao Kulu. Unexpectedly, the head of a big demon was locked on the wall of the city gate of the only pass outside the imperial capital, "Mazaro Pass".

I could feel that the big demon had completely died. The only one left on the city wall was the big demon's head, but the strong pressure from the strong man was like a huge mountain pressing on me, making me feel breathless.

It is said that facing such an adult demon, even a level 50 legendary wizard who successfully transferred for the fourth time was unmatched.

I stood in the magic caravan and took a deep breath, thinking: What kind of strong man is he who can kill such a powerful existence!

...

The magic caravan followed the traffic, passed through the Majaro Pass, passed through the long city wall tunnel, and stood outside the carriage and looked into the distance. At this moment, I seemed to be in the starry sky, and the dazzling sparks kept flashing in front of me. Suddenly, I realized that those were not the sparks in the starry sky, but the entire city of the imperial capital.

Under the hazy night, I took a deep breath. Only then did I truly feel how huge the emperor is. I went from high to far away, and the lights were still beyond my limit. When I went to the distance, they would completely blend with the night.

The majestic cliffs beside me spread to both sides like swallow wings, and a mountain wall of hundreds of kilometers surrounded the entire imperial capital. It seemed that the landform of the entire imperial capital was like a huge saucepan. My eyes continued to extend, looking for the rumored imperial city.

In the center of the imperial capital, with the brilliant lights, I saw a large lake. In the dark night, it was like a mirror that devoured all the light sources. Following the lake, my eyes looked upwards. A huge floating mountain appeared above the imperial capital, which was the fiery imperial city. Emperor Charles and his concubines in the harem lived there.
