When the cold month approaches, this kind of rain is most likely to bring a bone-chilling feeling to people. Even the most diligent farmers will not choose to work at this time, because it is likely to lead to colds or even more serious injuries.
sick.
However, in Macca, the largest city in the Windsa Territory of the Principality of Lord'an, the atmosphere today is unusual.
The area near the city gate that used to be muddy and dirty has been cleaned up, and it is full of people. Everywhere you can see luxuriously dressed women, serious-faced nobles, and servants waiting on them. One after another colorful flowers can be seen.
The umbrella is placed on the head, like a small flower.
Pedestrians and farmers entering the city were driven away by heavily armed guards before they even got close, attracting waves of attention and discussion.
"Oh my god, the entire nobles of Macca City are here. Could it be that His Majesty the King is here?"
A few people leading donkey carts were also driven aside, and the businessmen who were considered to be well-informed were talking about it. A man who had just returned from other places took a closer look and suddenly exclaimed, which attracted a burst of ridicule from those nearby.
"I don't know. Didn't you see the gentleman standing in the middle? That's Count Karl, the king's chamberlain!"
"His Majesty the King has arrived two days ago and is in the city of Maika!"
The businessman who knew the inside story was very proud, which aroused a burst of surprise. Even though they had traveled all over the country for so long, this was the first time they had seen such a battle.
"Then with so many nobles gathered together, who are they waiting for?"
"There has been no news of other kings and princes visiting recently!"
His eyes turned to the businessman who revealed the information. The latter's face froze, how could he know this, but he still forced himself to speak.
"You will know when you wait, he must be a great big shot!"
...
It was raining all the time and the atmosphere was not very harmonious.
Near the city gate, many nobles have been standing for almost an hour. Even if there were thermoses to warm their hands, under the cold air, many exquisitely dressed beautiful women and young ladies began to lightly tap their feet regardless of their appearance, and whispered.
Cut off.
"What is the origin of this new count?"
"I heard he is a great man!"
The two aristocratic women, whose faces were a little blue from the cold, were talking softly, rubbing their hands and stamping their feet regardless of their appearance. Their expressions were not very good-looking. They were standing on the periphery of the crowd. They were just some minor nobles, and their status was the most embarrassing.
If you say come, it will just serve as a foil for some green leaves, and no one will take a glance at it. But if you don't come, you will definitely be hated by others. Otherwise, you should be warming up in the fireplace at home on a cold day.
How pleasant.
"But we are just cold on the body, unlike some people, I am afraid it is cold from the bottom of the heart to the body."
A woman laughed happily and cast her eyes on the people in the middle. There were men and women among them. They all had extraordinary temperaments, but their faces now looked as ugly as a dead mother.
"Hey, if it's not yours, you have to give it back to others after all."
The other woman also laughed in a low voice, and the chill in her body seemed to be dissipated a bit.
"coming!"
Suddenly, from the road in front, a knight galloping on horseback came quickly, shouting loudly.
The discussion suddenly stopped, and then many nobles lined up neatly at the door according to their status, and then the rich and melodious music suddenly started playing.
Accompanied by the sound of music, the crisp sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the front of the road, and two rows of knights wearing black armor, even the horses under their crotches were covered in armor, appeared in front of everyone.
However, no matter whether it is a human or a horse, what appears in the eyes is not the normal divine light, but a scarlet color, which makes people feel frightened from the bottom of their hearts just by looking at it.
"These, what are these?"
"Could it be..."
The nobles in front of the city gate all looked horrified. Some of those standing in front couldn't help but take a few steps back, as if they were about to flee at any moment.
"keep quiet!"
The king's special envoy, Count Carl, swallowed his saliva and then scolded everyone around him.
rumble...
The sound of heavy footsteps gradually came, and two teams of black-armored knights lined up quietly on both sides, and then a huge carriage was revealed behind them, and the person pulling the carriage turned out to be covered in scales on both ends, and the head and tail together were nearly ten meters long.
A monster with sharp teeth that gives people an indescribable sense of oppression.
"Yalong, actually use Yalong to pull the cart!"
A nobleman exclaimed, and immediately reacted, covering his mouth with a look of disbelief in his eyes.
You know, that is a dragon. Although it is not a real dragon, it is still an extremely powerful monster. If you put it on the battlefield, it will be a terrifying killing machine. But now it is used as a tool to pull a cart?
The smelly breath wafted out, and the two dragons stopped with a roar and looked at everyone. The atmosphere became extremely quiet for a while, and the only sounds that could be heard were raindrops falling and the howling wind.
After about half a minute, the king's envoy Count Karl plucked up the courage, walked towards the carriage, and shouted loudly.
"His Majesty the King has sent me to greet you, your esteemed Earl Green!"
"A grand banquet has been prepared for you in Macca City. The entire Principality of Lord'an welcomes your arrival!"
Under the pressure of the strong momentum, Earl Karl couldn't help but use honorifics. He carefully walked past Yalong and saw the door on the side of the carriage creaked and was gently pushed open.
Horn came out expressionlessly, still holding Green in his hand. He looked at everyone. There seemed to be an invisible barrier above his head, separating the rain. He stepped out of the carriage and nodded slightly.
"Lead the way."
Click... click...
The silent knight, with both men and horses, followed the nobles, guarding Horn and Green in the middle, and arrived at the very center of the city. A bald old man wearing a crown was already waiting at the door, surrounded by many nobles.
Horn pulled Green up the steps step by step, and saw the king coming up to him with a smile: "Welcome to the Principality of Lod'an, my Earl, you will receive the warmest welcome and hospitality...
"
But as he spoke, his words suddenly stalled, because behind Horn, two teams of black-armored knights also dismounted and followed behind him, their armors rubbing against each other and making a cold clanging sound.
"Be bold!"
A nobleman suddenly jumped out from behind the king, pointing at Horn, as if he was about to say something, but Horn pointed lightly, and he immediately stood there like a statue, speechless but unable to move, his eyes filled with fear.
"Your Majesty the King, this is Green, son of Keyes, your new earl. I hope you have not forgotten the promise you made and will strictly abide by it."
Horn shook his sleeves, looked past everyone, stood up straight, and said "your new earl" in a tone that was almost as if he was talking about your new king.
The king's expression froze visibly, and then all kinds of emotions of fear and anger flashed through his eyes quickly. After meeting Horn's indifferent eyes, they disappeared at an even faster speed without a trace.
"Yes, sir, we will definitely abide by our original promise."
In front of all the nobles, the king slowly bowed to Horn and Green, who was holding his hand.
