Warhammer Wizard

After a while, the castle arrived.

Ren was sitting in the carriage, looking forward through the wooden planks.

Fubadon Castle covers an area of ​​more than two square kilometers. The overall layout is roughly rectangular. The 20-meter-high city wall can allow six horses to run in parallel. There is a tower every 100 meters. The magic runes on the wall are in the night. It glows faintly in the middle, forming a huge protective array.

The city wall is surrounded by rivers more than ten meters deep, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

As far as the eye can see, there are Rick Guards guarding everywhere, and teams of patrols patrol back and forth on the city wall, leaving no dead ends at all.

The carriage stopped in front of the city gate. After some communication, it was released. It drove over the suspension bridge and entered the tall and wide city gate.

Suddenly, I saw a huge square.

The square that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people is all paved with white magic alloy, and there is a bright silver avenue in the middle of the square, which leads directly to the magnificent palace opposite.

This is Rick Palace!

In front of the palace are first-level white stone steps, there are hundreds of steps in total, just like climbing a mountain, and finally build a wide foundation platform at a high place. Carved with exquisite paintings, they together hold up the heavy palace dome, and the solemnity and majesty blows at the face.

The carriage walked a short distance on the boulevard in the square, then turned left.

There are buildings on the left and right sides of the square, but they are not as majestic as the Rick Palace. Passing through several high-walled corridors, the carriage drives into a beautiful large garden. The roadside is lined with green trees and full of fresh flowers. , beautiful.

One-third of the garden is a small lake, with countless lotus flowers growing on the water surface like a green blanket.

In the late autumn, there are still many lotus flowers in full bloom and the fragrance is fragrant.

The eldest son of Emperor Alpha, who is the second emperor of the empire who succeeded the throne, was very fond of lotus flowers, so he had a man-made lake dug out of the Castle of Faberden for the purpose of planting lotus flowers.

The building complex by the lake is the emperor's place to play and enjoy flowers.

The Lotus Palace is also named after it.

More than a thousand years ago, the imperial family was extinct, the imperial power fell into the hands of the Supreme Council, the Rick Palace was sealed, and the administrative power of the country was entrusted to the consul. This lotus palace, located in the southwest corner of Fuberden City, is used as the official residence of the consul for daily office and residence.

The entire lotus palace occupies only one-fifth of the total area of ​​​​Fubetten Castle, and no one is allowed to enter other areas in the castle except the patrolling palace of the guards.

Rick Palace is a forbidden place for the consul.

More than 300 years ago, after a consul was drunk, he didn't know whether he thought too much to reveal his nature, or went crazy after drinking. He ran out of the Lotus Palace and wandered around the castle, ignoring the praetorian guard's dissuasion and breaking into the Rick Palace to visit. He was reported to the Supreme Council, and was dismissed overnight, becoming the laughing stock of the entire empire.

The carriage was still driving in the Lotus Palace, but Ren was distracted.

The Lotus Palace is not only a palace, but also has dozens of fully functional office buildings. Although it only accounts for less than 20% of the entire castle, it is also occupied by a third of the lotus lake, but it is also larger than most castles in the empire. Big, even Gen La Morgan is far behind.

After passing through the guards of the guards, the carriage finally stopped in front of a five-storey welcome building.

The whole building is brightly lit, and expensive crystal lamps disperse the darkness, and the lake not far away can also be seen clearly, and you can enjoy the lotus at night.

Renn saw the consul Gneus Chikro in the car.

Gneus was dressed in civilian clothes, with a tall and sturdy body, with a sword slung around his waist. He didn't know that Ren was observing himself across the carriage, and his eyes fell on the Ultramarine next to the carriage. Although he concealed it well, his eyes still showed surprise and solemnity.

Before leaving, Ren purchased a batch of three-ring "breath-holding technique" amulets and brought them to the two teams of Ultramarines accompanying them to cover up their legendary aura.

Ordinary people couldn't see through the breath-holding technique, but Gneus, the holy sword demon swordsman, saw it at a glance.

All twelve Ultramarines are legendary!

Legends are not weeds on the roadside, any one is very precious, even if it is not a spellcaster, just an ordinary legendary extraordinary person, but also has his own pride, it is difficult to recruit. As the most elite extraordinary army of the empire, the Rick Guards have only more than 30 legends in total. They are given extremely high treatment and power, and they also worry about their loyalty. They will leave if they are dissatisfied.

These barbarian warriors, who are hidden in heavy armor, hold huge soul guns and are powerful. At first glance, they know that they are not ordinary legends. They are willing to act as guards for Rennes. Why?

Gnieus couldn't understand.

At this time, when he saw Ren coming from the carriage, he immediately looked away and greeted very enthusiastically: "Speaker Ren, it's been hard work all the way. Welcome to the Lotus Palace."

"Your Excellency Archon." Ren also smiled, "Good evening."

"Good good..."

Gneus was very happy, he stepped forward and patted Ren on the shoulder very closely, turned back to the people who greeted him and said with a smile: "Everyone, this is the Earl of Glamorgan, the Speaker of Wezeland, the Empire The youngest hero."

"I have seen Speaker Rennes."

"Lord Count."

"Meet the Duke of Augustus."

All of the people present were high-ranking and powerful people, and they all saluted to Ren, with different expressions on their faces, Ren also nodded in response, showing an approachable attitude.

"Your Excellency Consul, won't you introduce me?" Ren said with a smile.

"Okay." Gnaeus immediately pointed to a silver-haired but spirited old man, "This is my Minister of War, Viscount Rosella Leadsom."

The Eye of the Soul saw that Rosella was a legendary middle-level wizard, specializing in Elementalists.

It is a bit surprising that the military minister in charge of the four major legions and the three major knights of the empire is actually a wizard.

"Viscount Leadsom." Ren said hello.

"I've seen Speaker Rennes." Rosella returned the salute neither humble nor arrogant.

"This is my Chancellor of the Exchequer, Ms. Ashley." The second Gneus introduced was a beautiful woman, only in her early thirties, with a slender figure, a dignified manner, and long dark red hair. Coiled on her head, wearing a luxurious embroidered long dress, she has both the style of a mature woman and the vitality of a young girl, exuding extraordinary charm all over her body.

Eighteenth-level natural disaster warlock!

Ren immediately thought of the sorceress of Eratossa College, and unsurprisingly, the Chancellor of the Exchequer must have come from that place. They are always attracted by power, and use their beauty and strength as capital to enter the power center to gain influence.

This sorceress's ability is probably not only in the bed, otherwise Gneus would not let her take charge of the financial power of the empire.

"I have seen Ms. Ashley."

Ren stepped forward and leaned forward, kissing in the air on the back of the sorceress stretched out Bai Nen's hand.

Ashley closed her hands and covered her mouth with a chuckle. She looked at Ren's face quite boldly, and said with a smile, "Sir Count is as handsome as he is rumored to be."

"Thank you for your compliment, Madam." Ren nodded reservedly.

"Ren is young and promising, and the entire empire can't find a man with more prospects than him." Gneus teased: "Ashley, if you can take Renn, you won't have to worry about it in your life."

The men next to him all laughed.

"I don't have such great ability. I'm afraid Lord Earl doesn't look down on me." Ashley said so, but her eyes kept rolling on Ren, obviously her words were wrong.

Ren is now scared and in no mood to hook up with other women.

So he pretended to be ignorant.

Gnieus immediately sensed his attitude, and turned to introduce the other two. One is his chief of staff, Baron Duberstein, the big butler of the Palace of the Netherlands, and the last one is the commander of the Rick Guards, whose name is Heskto. people.

Ren looked at Heskotdo twice.

The eyes of the soul can't see through the other party, indicating that this is a saint-level extraordinary person, and Ren sensed a familiar breath in him, a dragon knight with the body of a real dragon!

Gneus introduced that Hestock has an old black dragon, and his extraordinary profession is a black knight who masters the power of shadows. He was promoted to the holy rank decades ago, and he is still at the twentieth level now.

With great strength, Hesktor firmly controls the Rick Praetorian Guard.

It seems to feel the breath of Ren's real dragon body, and he is also a dragon knight, so that Hesktor, who looks unsmiling, rarely shows goodwill to Ren.

After the introduction, Gnaeus invited Ren to enter and board the banquet hall on the fifth floor.

Here you can see the whole lotus lake.

There was only one table in the spacious hall and no other guests, which made Renn understand that tonight was just a small private dinner.

The servants of the Palace of the Lotus served the food and wine like water, and the table was quickly filled.

Gneus' attitude is very casual, telling a few jokes from time to time, or some of his experiences in the past few hundred years of his life.

Ren agreed, and it was harmonious.

He knew very well what Gnieus wanted to express. The three ministers, chief of staff, and commander of the Guard were all his absolute confidants and could be trusted.

On the first day, Gnieus put out his confidant team, in order to show his sincerity, hoping to get his full support.

These are senior ministers with high positions of authority. They have been ups and downs in the political arena of the empire for many years. After more than ten years, Gnieus abdicates. Whether Renne wants to compete for the throne of the consul or succeeds in reaching the top, these people can be relied on. right arm.

Ren understood and accepted the kindness of Gneus.

All the smart people present were aware of Gnieus' attitude, and they pushed the boat with the current.

The two sides hit it off, and the host and guests enjoyed themselves.

After a dinner party of more than two hours, Ren had initially integrated into this small circle of power. The Eye of the Soul accurately grasped everyone's character and preferences, and easily won their favor.

Even Ren was aware of the closeness and distance between these people.

For example, the one Gneus trusted the most was his chief of staff, Baron Duberstein, while others were slightly worse; the military minister, Rosella, and the finance minister, Ashley, probably because they were both spellcasters and believed in the goddess of magic, they could Explore magical knowledge, so the relationship is relatively close, but there is no love between men and women.

Ashley and Gneus were also innocent.

Home Secretary Amber and Chief of Staff Durberstein seem to be friendly on the surface, but they have a private grudge and are hostile to each other, but they dare not show it.

The commander of the Praetorian Guards, Hesktor, is interested in Ashley, and he is not so loyal to Gneus, it is more like a cooperative relationship.

Every time Ashley looked at herself, her mood fluctuated violently, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

After drinking and eating, everyone came to the spacious balcony to enjoy the lotus.

Ren noticed that Gneus' gaze was not on the lotus most of the time, but from time to time he looked across the lake to the magnificent Rick Palace in the distance.

The Eye of the Soul also saw that Gneus was in a complicated mood.

Yearning, longing and unwilling.

He couldn't help sighing secretly, people's ambitions and desires really have no end, Gneus sits on the throne of the consul, this is the position that countless people dream of, but they are not satisfied and want to climb to a higher place.

The power of the consul comes from the Supreme Council. In managing such a huge empire, the power in daily life is even higher than that of the Holy Soul Wizard who ignores the common affairs~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The only one who can have more power than the consul is the emperor!

However, this is almost impossible.

The Supreme Council is like a mountain of infinite weight, always pressing on the top of the Archon, making people dare not take a step across the thunder pool.

The Rick Palace, which is close at hand, is out of reach.

Not to mention the overthrow of the Supreme Council, even the slightest hint of an idea would bring disaster to Gneus.

Seemingly aware of Ren's gaze, Gneus suddenly sighed: "Alas..."

"Why is Your Excellency Archon sighing?" Ren asked.

Everyone's attention was attracted.

Gnieus looked around, shook his head with a hint of alcohol, and said, "There are no outsiders here, there is nothing to hide, and I am not afraid of your jokes." He turned to look at the Rick Palace again, "When it comes to me Location, who can't have an idea? I heard that there is a golden throne in Rick Palace..."

Chief of Staff Duberstein quickly persuaded: "Sir, be careful."

The others were also in shock, looking at the floating city high in the sky to the west, for fear of which elder Nether was casting a spell at the right moment, listening to or watching the situation here.

Military Minister Rosella immediately threw a soundproof force field.

Ren's expression changed slightly.

It's good to keep this kind of words in your heart. Once you say it, it will spread out if you are unlucky. Don't say that Gnieus is re-elected, he may not be able to finish his term.

Gnieus's sense of drinking was instantly sober, and he was startled by himself, and said repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I made a mistake."

"It's okay." Ren waved his hand.

Taking advantage of the soundproofing force field, he changed the subject and asked, "Your Excellency Archon, have the other members of the supervision team arrived? Do you know who the Holy Soul Wizards sent, and when will they officially work to audit the Nether floating city? accounts?"
