The huge emerald throne, which is like a bud, is spotless, with soft light penetrating through it, faintly reflecting some luster. If we just talk about the level of preciousness, looking at the entire Austrian continent, it may be second only to the throne of Grand Duke Elba. Behind the throne is a whole starry sky composed of diamonds. It is afternoon, and the dazzling light lights up the palace, which also highlights the wealth of its owner.
The ground made of rubies and sapphires is as clear as a lake. If you look carefully, you will find that the pattern inside is actually a lifelike mountain scorpion pattern.
This is the family emblem of Grand Duke Shaheru, and it is also the spiritual totem of Shaheru people from generation to generation. And after being carefully carved by skilled craftsmen, it seems to have fallen into a deep sleep, making everyone who sees it shudder.
The five-meter-high curtains are inlaid with emeralds, which seem to have a special energy that makes people who step into the palace no longer nervous, at least not that nervous.
The countless opals decorated on the ceiling are like countless pairs of eyes, looking around at everyone who has delusions and evil intentions.
As for those Qinhai pearls, which are comparable to the size of a baby's fist, they add a touch of softness to the originally slightly cold hall. However, this gentleness still hides some murderous intent.
Haworth City, one of the four main cities of the Principality of Shaylu, is located on the north side of the Fran Mountains, across from the Golden Island and the Silver Island. As an important town adjacent to the Qin Sea, it pays the crystal coins to Qadian City every year.
, can only be calculated using "tons".
And as an entity that directly controls the two islands of gold and silver, the wealth of Haworth City can be said to be unique in the entire Augu Continent.
There are no poor people in Haworth City, because as long as someone has long hands, they can easily survive the dark rainy night even if they dig through the trash can every day.
Here, food is not the pursuit. What people yearn for is a more refined life, a more comfortable living environment, and more reliable public security.
Therefore, many years ago, Haworth City took a different approach and promulgated a law that shocked the world. All locals in Haworth City will receive a magic crystal card to prove their identity for free, and it cannot be traded or used.
Resale.
People who hold this kind of magic crystal card can enjoy the best prices by virtue of their status as Haworthians. As for "outsiders", they can only enjoy the benefits of ordinary people in Haworth by paying expensive fees.
A life that is no different.
This approach was initially questioned by everyone, whether it was other principalities or foreign races. But time is the touchstone for testing all truths. Instead of declining, Haworth City became richer and richer.
However, just when all the Shayers were feeling complacent about this, Grand Duke Elba quietly came to Haworth City in person. The hall was extremely dark that night, the moonlight was blocked by thick clouds, and the stars were nowhere to be seen.
No one knows what Grand Duke Elba said to the Lord of Haworth City, but the latter restrained all his energy the next day and focused on collecting crystal coins for the principality.
"Send this month's offerings to Cadian City, and give me my most sincere greetings."
"Also, give these three dragon crystals to the Honey Knight in Hive City, and tell him that my son will be five years old next year, and I hope to become his teacher."
The middle-aged man withdrew his gaze and then slowly sat down on the emerald throne. No less impressive than Archduke Elba's gemstone cane remained motionless, and the wine in the silver vessel exuded a fruity aroma.
This person is none other than the Lord of Haworth City, White Jewel Knight Daniels. Although he is also a Knight of Glory, Daniels has stopped here and has no possibility of reaching the top in this life.
Therefore, he can only place all his hopes on his only son. As long as there is a chance, he will pay for it even if it is a dragon crystal every day.
And as an ancient aristocratic family that has existed for thousands of years, although its "gem sword skill" cannot be called the ultimate, it is also an extremely exquisite secret sword skill.
White Jewel Knight Daniels thinks very simply. If the other party can accept the conditions of becoming his child's mentor, then his son will have a high probability of becoming a peak powerhouse.
As for what Grand Duke Elba said that night, it was also because of this matter. "Although Carlos, the Sugar Knight, has a lazy personality, he is currently the most talented knight in our Principality of Shaylu. Your son also has good qualifications. Let him train him."
Right."
As the Lord of Haworth City, as a Knight of Glory, and as a father. What White Jewel Daniels cares most about is his only son.
Before meeting Archduke Elba, he had already imagined countless possibilities. Maybe the other party would be directly angry, maybe the other party would execute him, or maybe he would be exiled.
Elba, the Grand Duke of Cannonball, only raised taxes a little symbolically, and throughout the night, he earnestly recommended Sugar Knight Carlos to become his son's mentor.
From that day on, White Jewel Knight Daniels completely surrendered to Grand Duke Elba, and frankly stated that he would provide 70% of the crystal coins to the principality every year.
"Sir, these dragon crystals are all prepared for the young master. How about giving one as a gift?"
"And with the strength of our Haworth City, what kind of mentor can we find? Do we have to go to Hive City in a lowly manner?"
The trusted minister frowned when he heard this. Although he did not want to offend the city lord, he still asked his doubts. Because in his opinion, the Sugar Knight was really outrageous, and he was synonymous with "dandy".
.
"The fact that you can say these things at least shows that you are worthy of my trust. But no matter what the other person's personality is, his strength is unquestionable."
"And have you forgotten the invasion of the Principality of Zeon? If he hadn't been smart enough, the Boiling Swamp would probably not be the territory of our Principality of Shayel now."
"Another point is that although my son has good qualifications, he lacks interaction with others. I don't want him to become a useless aristocrat in the future, or even become one of those high-ranking people with eyes on the top of his head."
"I have already decided on this matter. If the other party does not agree, then we will send three dragon crystals every month! Haworth City dare not say anything else, but the number of crystal coins is as much as it is needed!" p>
White Jewel Knight Daniels sighed, and then waved his hand to signal his subordinates to leave. Seeing this, the trusted minister had no choice but to bow and salute, and then quickly exited the hall.
Creak! The side door of the main hall was slowly opened, and a little boy with a childish face walked in, with a long sword slung behind his back.
Half a minute later, he stood in the center of the hall, his expression full of doubts, and his clear eyes without any impurities. He was waiting, waiting for his father to explain everything.
"The young bird will eventually leave the nest. The sky is your future destination. Your tyrannical fighting spirit and the legendary power of coercion are the reasons why you put in all your efforts for it."
"You can complain about your father's cold-bloodedness, but you can't deny my good intentions. You are the only son of my White Jewel Knight Daniels, how could I harm you?"
A slightly tired voice echoed in the hall, and Daniels's eyes were looking at the scenery outside the window from beginning to end. Haworth City was his proudest achievement in his life, but it could not compare with his son in any case.
