The imperial capital is still extremely prosperous.
At this moment, Roddy led the horse slowly. This place was not in the imperial capital, but just walked to the outer town outside the imperial capital. The road here was much wider than the roads in the small cities in the south. The bluestone road surface, which had been operated for hundreds of years, seemed extremely flat and atmospheric. There were many pedestrians on the road, and the various commercial ports on the street were also very noisy.
Roddy took a deep breath, and the smell here seemed to be a little closer than those in the south. He walked forward carefully, his golden hair had already been dyed black with potions. Roddy just lowered his head, but looked around from time to time with the corner of his eyes.
The magnificent city wall was right in front of it, and under the huge city gate, a team of soldiers with bright armor stood with spears in their hands. Several officers looked vigilantly at the crowd coming and going.
Roddy immediately pressed his originally drooping face down and quickly passed through them with his horse. Fortunately, the Northwest War had been completed, otherwise the inspection of the city gate would not have been so loose a few months ago.
Roddy entered the city and felt relieved, but before his heart could be completely settled, he suddenly felt that someone was following behind slowly...
Roddy immediately became alert. The thrilling assassination he suffered in that hotel had not yet figured out who did it.
The blood clan I caught was also said to be the command of the leader of the blood clan.
Although Roddy wanted to be different when he had become ugly with the blood clan - it must be because of the old tulip family and the blood clan... Is that so, I might have to wait until I go back and ask Nicole... Well, maybe Nicole doesn't know, Old Mark should know a little.
While avoiding the crowd, he was moving carefully towards the main road leading to the Duke's Mansion. Suddenly, a young child next to him ran to Roddy, and first shouted: "Sir!"
Roddy frowned and glanced at the child. He was dressed in a very worn-out manner and had mud on his face. He thought he was a beggar who stopped people to beg on the streets of the imperial capital. He was afraid of being recognized by others, so he kept moving forward. Many people in the imperial capital knew him! When he went to the northwest and returned from Desheng, almost all the imperial capital came to watch the new duke of the Tulip family. If someone was recognized here, it would be over.
"Sir!" The child behind him accelerated and rushed up, blocking Roddy.
Roddy sighed and whispered, "I don't have any change, I'll give it to you." He took out a gold coin and threw it to the child.
The child took it over. Although there was a surprise on his face, his body did not move out of his way. He took something out of his hand and handed it over.
"Sir, someone handed this over to you."
"Huh?" Roddy was stunned for a moment, and a strange feeling appeared in his heart. He looked at the child's hand and saw a scroll of paper.
"What is this? For me?"
The child nodded: "It was a gentleman who asked me to come and give you a gold coin! You gave me another one! Today it must be the gods who are blessing me!" His face showed an excited expression.
But Roddy showed a vigilant look and said in a deep voice: "Who asked you to give it to me? Where is that person?"
"It's right there!" The child turned around and pointed to an alley next to him. But there was no one there.
The child showed a strange expression on his face: "I was there just now."
"What does that person look like?" Roddy took the roll of paper with one hand.
"I don't know. He wore a cloak and wrapped his head up. He looked a little bit like an alien." The child finished the character and ran away laughing.
Roddy was shocked and turned into a path, looked at the surroundings, opened the scroll and looked at the roll.
I wrote a simple sentence with a charcoal pen above: Home is surrounded, don’t go back!
This sentence seemed to be written in a hurry, and the handwriting was a bit sloppy. However, after Roddy took a few glances, he always felt that the handwriting became more and more familiar as he looked at it, as if he had seen it somewhere.
He thought for a while and felt that this matter was a bit strange. He came back secretly, but as soon as he arrived in the imperial capital, someone gave him such a note. It was obvious that he was watching him enter the city! Maybe he was staring at him around at this moment!
Roddy held the hilt of the sword with one hand and patted the surroundings for a while. However, behind him was the depths of the alley, with walls on both sides, and only outside the alley, there was a lively street.
He took a deep breath, thought for a while, but still couldn't help but want to go back to the Duke's Mansion to take a look.
Who knows who sent this note? What if it was done by those blood clans? They want to kill themselves, most likely they don’t want to go back!
Roddy shook his head. He wanted to see Nicole earlier. The closer he got to the house, the stronger the thought in his heart became, and he could not hold it back.
After turning two streets, I was already getting closer and closer to the Duke's Mansion. As long as I turned the intersection, I could see the gate of the Duke's Mansion. Suddenly, a shout came from behind me: "Sir!"
Roddy looked back and saw another child running behind him, a little taller than the previous one. He ran to Roddy out of breath, handed a note, and said, "This is what a gentleman asked me to give it to you."
Roddy showed a look of surprise on his face, but the child handed the note and turned around and ran away.
"I know you don't believe it, wait in the old Mark's house tonight!"
After reading the sentence on the note, Roddy immediately stopped.
Most people do not know the house in the city! Nicole doesn't know either! Even if he was, he had only been there once before going to the northwest! No matter who the other party was, since he knew that the house in the city was so secret, he must be his own - most likely, Old Mark himself.
But why don’t you come out to meet yourself?
Roddy thought about it, but still didn't continue to move forward. She tried hard to suppress the urge to rush back to see Nicole at this moment, and turned around and left.
Old Mark's house was in an alley south of the imperial capital. Roddy happened to pass there just now, so he had to turn around. Turn left and right from the small paths with few pedestrians. Finally, Roddy looked at the buildings on both sides and left, and was right. It was certain that the place was right. He stood in front of a medium-sized house.
With a little nervousness, he knocked on the door gently...
There was no answer. Roddy's heart moved and the force of knocking on the door was slightly stronger, but he didn't expect that the force would be too strong, but the door opened gently by himself. It turned out that there was no lock!
Roddy frowned and walked in carefully with his horse. His eyes glanced everywhere, and he felt that there was no difference between here and when he came last time. The two courtyards were quiet, the ground was a little dirty and messy, and there were many fallen leaves, as if no one had swept it for a long time. Just when Old Mark showed him how to use the light-sabre, the stone table that was split in half was still tilted there.
Roddy felt a little strange, but tied the horse to the tree and walked carefully into the room.
The room door was not locked and opened as soon as you pushed it, but the room was quite clean. Several wooden tables were spotlessly clean. Roddy looked at the kettle on the table and picked it up and shook it.
There is water inside, so most people have been here.
He sighed and smiled bitterly in his heart: "At least Old Mark won't harm himself..."
His physique is not as good as before. He is already tired all the way, and his whole body is even more sore and soft. He found a chair to sit down. At first, he was still a little worried, but gradually he felt a little tired.
A voice next to him suddenly said, "Are you tired? Then you can rest for a while... If there is anyone, I will tell you."
Roddy smiled bitterly: "You are still following me? But you are always so invisible and not allowed to see me, which makes me feel a little awkward."
Dan Yuewu's voice was very calm: "My mission is to follow you. You are possessed by a demon dragon now, and I must keep an eye on you!"
Roddy sighed and continued, "If necessary, kill me if you find an opportunity, right?"
Danyuewu was silent and had no answer.
Roddy sighed: "You won't kill me at all. If you want to do something along the way, there are too many opportunities. Why use such words to lie to me?"
Dan Yuewu's figure slowly appeared behind him.
"Because I'm very curious..." She said slowly: "I'm very curious, what magical things do you, the Duke of Tulips, can make so many people willing to die for you! I'm very curious, why so many people regard the glory of the tulip battle flag as more important than their own lives! Do you know? There was a man who fought desperately with those blood clans for you regardless of his own safety. At the most dangerous moment, he didn't think about how he ran away, but felt very regretful because he could not fulfill the agreement with you!"
Roddy nodded: "That's all?"
Dan Yuewu smiled and said, "Do you need anything else? In our opinion, our Silver Moon clan people will only respect and be so pious to the true god Kara! But you have won the respect and loyalty of so many people, but you have done it. Your Tulip Family has done it! Even the hunter who secretly followed you along the way is the same! I think he is a very strange person. With his kind of person, he will not have any worship or piety to anyone. But for you, he is willing to protect you with his own life!"
Roddy smiled bitterly and said lightly: "That's because you don't know what the agreement between me and him is."
Dan Yuewu didn't answer him, but just slowly closed her mouth.
Roddy sighed, feeling tired, and felt helpless. Now he is almost the same as a useless man! When he was in the northwest, he could persist in the marching of several days and nights, but since he turned into the ghost dragon, he would feel tired now when he walked a little more. His only reliance was the sword in his hand... He just lost the ability to swing the sword, how could he fight with the emperor? How could he steal his woman back?
Maybe, after returning home, you have to ask Andy carefully...
His mind was in a mess, and he thought of Nicole from time to time, and finally Roddy closed his eyes.
At night, Roddy was woken up by a hurry: "Someone is coming!"
Roddy opened her eyes, stood up, and heard footsteps coming from outside the room.
The footsteps seemed extremely light, as if the walking person had already known that he was in this room. He walked straight towards the room without stopping at all.
In the blink of an eye, the door had been pushed open and a slender man walked in.
As the child on the street said, he brought a big cloak, which covered his head. His face was also hidden deep in the shadow under the cloak.
The man walked in slowly, first turned around and closed the door. Then he seemed to look at Roddy again and chuckled.
"It's not bad, you look a bit like a duke now."
Roddy frowned and whispered, "Who are you? That's the note you gave me?"
The man did not answer him, walked around Roddy's body far away, and smiled, "It's good. It seems that Nicole trained you very well. You look very good now. You are a little ducally. If you don't say it, who can tell you are a fake?"
As soon as this sentence was said, Roddy's face immediately changed.
"Who are you! How do you know..." Roddy's heart suddenly moved: "Are you old Mark's friend? What he told you? How could he tell you this?"
The man laughed happily: "Oh, that's just not good. He's still so impatient. This is not OK. As Duke of Tulip, he has to go through many major events, but he can't keep calm... It's a small flaw for you. But he looks good and looks like a famous general who looks a bit powerful - why is your hair black? Did you dye it yourself? No wonder, you come back secretly and always avoid people discovering it..."
"Who are you!" Roddy took a step forward, his voice a little cold.
The man seemed stunned, and then smiled loudly: "You haven't seen who I am yet? Oh my God..." After a pause, he seemed to say to himself: "No wonder, he has seen me once... but it's not right. Doesn't he look in the mirror every day? Well... But I have only heard my voice once..."
With these words, he finally removed the cloak from his head, then looked at Roddy with a smile on his face.
His golden hair was like the sun's light, his dark blue eyes were as deep as a lake, and his handsome face was almost the standard version of the girl's dream lover...
Roddy's eyes widened and looked at the young man in front of him.
"It's you!! Seit!!" Roddy suddenly yelled, and it seemed that he would pounce on him at any time and press Seit!
Seit's smile remained unchanged, and suddenly his eyes turned, and his smile became a little weird: "One other beautiful lady in the room, why don't you speak? Do you want to give me the honor of hearing your wonderful voice? Or are you shocked by what we just said?"
After pausing, Seit bowed gracefully and whispered: "I am the contemporary heir to the Tulip Family, Seitrudolph, Duke of Tulips of the Empire. May I ask about the name of this beautiful lady?"
