"We're finally here." Andy sighed as he looked at the nearby King Otto's city of Elia. He and his sister followed Lin Jiu on the road. They didn't have to worry about food. It was better than what they had eaten before, but... After traveling for more than a day, he felt that he was getting thinner.
If Lin Jiu had not brought the brother and sister with him, with the help of the teleportation array, more than half a day would be enough for him to feel the city of Elia. The physical difference between the brother and sister was still too big, so they stopped for a rest at night and guided the second By the end of the day, they had finally arrived at the city of Elia.
As the main city of a country, the size of Elia City is not inferior to that of the Kingdom of Dussel. No matter how chaotic it was before, it must have been in a prosperous state when the country was first established. The main city built at that time was naturally magnificent.
The appearance of the central palace in Elia City is completely different from the tall architectural style that Lin Jiu saw from a distance in the Ice and Snow Kingdom. The palace building is not very high, with a dome design, and the overall style is somewhat similar to the Louvre in the real world.
There are many places in the city of Elea that are higher than the kingdom. The most notable ones are the tall arrow towers on the north and south sides of the city of Elea, one on the left and one on the left, for a total of four towers.
A group of three people and a bear walked into the city of Elia. This was the first time that Lin Jiu entered the royal city of a kingdom since he set foot in the four kingdoms. Everything in the city of Elia seemed full of vitality, and the faces of the residents were filled with peace of mind. The streets are clean and tidy, which is an extremely rare situation in this era.
Lin Jiu believes that whether it is Muser City in the Kingdom of Dussel or Miguel City in the Ice and Snow Kingdom, the overall atmosphere is definitely not as good as that of Elia City. Because these royal cities have a kind of people, royal nobles, and their existence may be beneficial. But there are definitely disadvantages.
As for the city of Elia where they are now, the royal family has been dealt with in the same way, killing some and demoting others. The new Queen Cindy is alone and has no other relatives to form a new royal family. Generally, this kind of situation will happen. The minister objected, but who is Sophie? She can suppress the entire Otto Kingdom that cannot stand up by relying on personal force. She will do whatever she says.
Because of this, even though there are still nobles in the city of Elia, they are now much more cautious than normal residents. If they are accidentally confiscated and exterminated by Her Majesty the Queen, they have no intention of bullying men and women.
As for recruiting private troops? What's the use? Her Majesty the Queen didn't even have to say a word. Those soldiers risked their lives for them. It is said that all the royal family members who resisted before committed suicide. The nobles secretly found people from the Magic Guild. After consultation, they got the answer that Her Majesty the Queen is the most powerful controller of psychic power in the entire continent of Oz.
Now I just live a cautious life. If I have any bad intentions, I will just ransack my home and it will be a good end. Using this kind of power to brainwash people and actively donate all their property would be even more miserable.
On the continent of Oz, there are various organizational forces that are independent of the kingdom, such as the Magic Guild. Similarly, there are the Mercenary Guild, the Assassin Guild, etc. Earlier, there were big nobles who paid huge sums of money to hire assassins from the Guild. The strong man goes to assassinate Queen Cindy.
Then the Assassin's Guild lost this general. This assassin was not dead yet. He commanded a group of Dark Night Army under Queen Cindy. He was like a royal guard and became the sharp knife above the heads of the nobles. The Assassin's Guild
It made me feel distressed, but I didn't dare to send people to trouble the new Queen of Otto Kingdom, fearing that the people I sent would never come back.
But there was no way to cause trouble to the client, because this great noble had his family confiscated and his family was exterminated. The Assassin's Guild could only suffer this big loss, and at the same time refused to accept any more requests for the new queen of the Otto Kingdom.
The three people and the bear did not wander around the city of Elia. After entering the city, they went straight to the palace. If Lin Jiu came here alone and went to the palace, even if he had Anna's relationship, but Anna was not at the scene, he would inevitably be suspected.
It would not be a good thing if Sophie used the psychic power she had mastered to explore him. Lin Jiu was not sure that his willpower could withstand a fifth-level top expert who was proficient in psychic power.
It's different now. With Andy and his sister, who are acquaintances with Sophie, no matter what, Sophie won't use her spiritual power on him. In addition, she was originally in the small town of Metz, and obtained
That little bit of favorability will come into play, and it will be no problem to win Sophie's trust.
Speaking of which, Sophie probably didn't care much about the royal family's treasure house, but Lin Jiu did. He had to find a way to get some treasures from the Otto Kingdom's treasure house. Lin Jiu didn't put much thought into this, as long as he gained trust.
Finally, if you are thick-skinned, fishing for treasures from the treasure house will not be a problem.
"Stop, the palace is a forbidden area, and no one else is allowed to approach." Lin Jiu and others were intercepted by a group of guards as soon as they approached the palace.
This situation is normal. Lin Jiu looked at the one who gave him the strongest impression among the guards. He was also dressed differently from the other guards. At first glance, he looked like the captain of the guard.
"We are here to seek refuge with relatives. There were friends who came here to work hard in the past. Now that they are prosperous, we are here to seek refuge. Please inform us." Lin Jiu said with a smile.
"It depends on where you are going to visit relatives. Who are your friends? Let me help you ask." The person who can stay here in the palace and serve as the captain of the guard is naturally not a loser among the nobles, nor is he arrogant.
"Cindy, you should call Her Majesty the Queen." Lin Jiu's response shocked the guards, and they all looked at the captain of the guard, waiting for instructions.
The captain of the guard also had a wave of excitement in his heart, but his military qualities were there, so he quickly suppressed them in his heart and said: "I will inform you, what are your names?"
"Andy."
"Xilu."
"Let's report it like this." Lin Jiu said when he saw the captain of the guard looking at him after the brothers and sisters announced their names.
"Please wait here for a moment." The captain of the guard did not ask further questions. If the other party is so confident, then what he said is most likely to be true. Then you must pay attention to your own attitude.
Lin Jiu and others didn't wait long before the captain of the guard came out and invited them in respectfully.
Walking into this palace, Sophie probably didn't decorate it much after she became the queen. The palace castle still retains the luxury and nobility when it was first built.
"Our kingdom used to be magnificent, but Her Majesty the Queen didn't like it, so she removed many of the decorations." The captain of the guard who led the way explained.
"What is your name?" Lin Jiu asked. Even without using the Blackbird radar to detect, he could faintly sense the threat of this captain of the guard, who had adequate fourth-level combat power.
"Frederick family, now the captain of the first team of the palace guard army, Mikluel." The captain of the guard, Mikluel, introduced himself with a proud tone. This is very common among the nobles of various kingdoms. Talented people
Children are taught a sense of family honor from an early age.
A typical aristocratic education, this is the kind of education that the young Qinggangying that Lin Jiu met in Piltover in Rune Continent received a long time ago.
And it can be seen from this that Sophie is not hostile to all nobles, she just eliminated those who were hostile to her in the first place. Don't think that your hostility can be hidden from an existence with extremely high attainments in spiritual power.
