In the middle of the Canghong Empire, a motorcade was traveling on the road. The carriage carried some oriental specialties, including silk, porcelain, tea and other items.
In order to avoid trouble, Lorraine Hill, who was pretending to be a businesswoman, recruited these people while passing through a big city.
The reason is also very simple. In the eastern city, she met several aristocratic young people who were troublesome. After these young people saw this beautiful girl, they first approached and struck up a conversation, and later they kept asking people to inquire about this girl's identity.
After learning that he was traveling alone, he gradually became more out of character.
Although with Lorraine Hill's strength, he is not afraid of such people, he is still as annoying as a fly. In the end, he simply implemented his identity and said that his chamber of commerce was entrusted by the princess of the elves to go to the East to trade, and now he is worthy of returning.
With the proof of the wind chime pendant given by Etesi, several large chambers of commerce with elven backgrounds guaranteed Lorraine Hill's identity and helped her find the manpower. In this way, with the cover of the guards and entourage, the girl was in the empire.
Walking around has become easier and more convenient.
"Ahead is the Binweed Palace, Miss Lacey." An elf on horseback came to the car window and reported in a low voice.
"Yeah, I got it." In the carriage, Lorraine Hill looked at the white stone city in the distance through the window, and an elegant style came to him.
Recalling the geography knowledge he learned in Emenas, Lorraine Hill recited the description of this city in the book in his mind.
After marrying the young elf queen Titania, Yalin was very fond of her, but as an elf, Titania was not adapted to life in a human city.
In order to give his lover a place of comfort and relaxation, Yalin organized a manpower to build a small white city more than 20 miles away from the royal capital.
Snow-white rocks are used to build intricate city walls and towers on the outside. Various trees, flowers and plants from the elves are planted inside, and clear lakes with running water are dug. They are paired with maids from the elves to accompany Titania.
This is a vacation palace of the royal family, a garden city. There are seven big trees planted inside, arranged in a circular pattern, one taller than the other, like spiral blooming flowers, and the palaces and pavilions are like tree houses.
On top of the big trees, dotted among them. Every night, these small palaces will light up with an orange halo like fireflies, lighting up this beautiful small town.
In the past, the empresses of the empire would often hold banquets here, inviting the famous ladies in the empire to come to get together, to communicate with each other, or to sort out some issues among the nobles. However, after the emperor of this generation came to the throne, this palace gradually became vacant.
Come down.
The new queen, Lili Esther, is not from a noble family and does not have much experience in holding banquets. In addition, she prefers to stay by the side of her lover and does not want to face these unfamiliar and scheming imperial ladies.
Slowly, the place returned to the tranquility it had when it was first built.
Now Lorraine Hill and his party were about to arrive at Titania, the capital of the empire, and finally saw the palace as an outpost on the road.
The road leading to the White Palace was guarded by guards, and the motorcade could only pass by and look at this beautiful city in the distance.
The white door is closed tightly, and the flowers and vines carved on it reveal a faint shadow in the sun. There is a peaceful and natural beauty unique to the elves. And this beauty is combined with the magnificent white stone carvings, filtering out the elf style.
The delicacy and softness show a magnificent atmosphere.
This palace, built during the heyday of the empire, still retains the openness and confidence of that era.
"I kind of want to take a look inside." Ye Ling stuck his head out towards the car window and looked at the white palace through the glass.
"Maybe there is a chance, if we can see Lily this time." Lorraine Hill touched the hair behind Ye Ling, and the little guy sat back down in his seat with some reluctance.
"Lily is the queen now..." She lay on the small table and murmured with her head sideways.
"It feels so unreal, he's obviously about the same age as me." Ye Ling said what he was thinking.
"This is time, real and ruthless." Lorraine Hill closed the white gauze curtains, then leaned against the seat to rest for a while.
Recently, she has learned a lot of news in the major cities she passed, including the internal affairs of the empire, the grand expedition a few years ago, and some conflicts between nobles and civilians.
Even Lorraine Hill felt tired when faced with this complicated information. Now the empire is like a mess, and various forces have begun to rise after the emperor's death. The weakening of the empire is a good thing for Crancia, but this
The chaotic situation was not what the girl expected.
At least I hope that the empire can become a boost to human civilization in the future, rather than a hindrance.
After rubbing his temples, Lorraine Hill gradually forgot about his recent troubles and began to take a nap. Anyway, hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and it is not less than a few months or years, so he might as well get some sleep first.
Thinking like this, the girl hugged the fluffy Daiju like a warm pillow, and her breathing gradually became calmer.
The October wind, with a bit of chill, blew in the countryside outside the imperial capital of Titiania. The green grass shivered in the cold wind. The main road that used to be bustling with traffic and horses has now become a bit cold. The martial law in the imperial capital has never ended.
.
"Which chamber of commerce are you from?"
When preparing to enter the city, elite guards wearing red cloaks stopped the convoy and shouted loudly.
"Hello, we are members of the Lagdis Chamber of Commerce. We have just returned from the East recently and want to enter the trade within the imperial capital."
A young elf wearing a white slim-fitting jacket stepped forward. His decent appearance and words earned these guards a lot of respect. After all, the elves were once half the owners of this city. Although the empire has been restructured, the legacy of the past remains.
The inertia of thinking has not dissipated, and rare and handsome elves are indeed treated better in the empire.
"The imperial capital is currently under martial law. You don't know, right? If you want to enter or leave, you must have a guarantee document from a noble person."
"Of course I understand." After saying this, the elf young man in a white jacket and black trousers asked someone to take out a document from the carriage, which had the signatures and seals of several elf nobles on it.
"Well, that's enough." Several guards carefully checked the completeness of the magic imprint on the document and nodded slowly.
Before leaving, one of them reminded, "The city is not stable now, so you'd better be cautious."
"Understood, thank you for your kind reminder." After saying that, the elf young man also asked his entourage to hand over a few gold coins as a thank you.
Seeing this, these guards suddenly became very happy and talked a lot about the situation in the city, making the elf young man nod his head repeatedly.
After a routine look at the goods, the guards stepped aside to let the dozen or so carriages enter the city one by one.
After the scenery outside the car window was far away from the city gate, Ye Ling withdrew his gaze curiously and said to Lorraine Hill.
"The one named Vio is very powerful." She was talking about the elf young man who had just negotiated with the guards.
"He is indeed a talent, but in terms of age, he is several times your age." Lorraine Hill joked and scratched Eidolon's cheek.
"Well, the elf's youth is really enviable." Eidolon retracted his body and escaped from Lorraine Hill's grasp.
"However, you are not qualified to talk about elves. I see that after you awakened from dragon blood, your development to adulthood is even slower than that of elves." Lorraine Hill blinked at Eidolon and pointed out this little dragon.
Mother’s true situation.
"It seems so. Oh, actually, I want to grow up quickly, and I also want to be a handsome big sister." Ye Ling shook her twin ponytails at her side unhappily, saying she felt a little unwilling.
For a moment, slight laughter came from the carriage again.
As the motorcade slowly entered Titania, the magnificent scenery of this thousand-year-old city gradually came into view, with neat and uniform, spacious stone streets, white porcelain flower pots surrounded by flowers, and painted with light colors.
The street houses, the tall pavilions connected together, the black hollow iron street lamps, the tall white palace and castle in the center, etc., all demonstrate the harmonious beauty jointly constructed by elves and humans.
Once upon a time, this was also a beautiful city that spoke of promises and trust.
