Alien Queen

The Nile River is the first river in the Aran continent. This river that almost runs through the continent starts from the snow-covered and cold Taylor Snow Mountain all the year round. It gathers countless rivers and rivers along the way, and finally flows into the wind and blue sea.

It's already early spring, and the bitterness of winter still seems to be reluctant to part with this continent, and unscrupulously purses his mouth to boast that he is rough and powerful. The surface of the river is sparkling under the sunshine and the blowing of the cold wind.

Li Junshan stood on the deck, the linen sails were rattling by the strong wind, and the city of Foluo shrouded in mist in the distance finally disappeared from his vision.

Master, is this your first visit to the imperial capital? Fate came over from the deck and stood beside Li Junshan, feeling a little shrunken in coldness.

Yeah. Li Junshan nodded and said, It's the first time, have you been there before?

I've been there many times, my home is not far from the emperor, it's in a village in the Keith Mountains. Fate said with a sigh: I've been away from home for decades, and I don't know what my home is like now. .

Li Junshan smiled and said: Don't be emotional, if one day you can break through to the rank of the priest, then you will return to your hometown with a noble badge, and your family will be proud of you.

A magician at the level of a holy man will be valued by the empire, and he will use the title of nobility to win him over, the lowest being the title of viscount.

I hope there will be such a day. Fart was full of fascination.

Li Junshan smiled and said, Hurry up and practice.

After speaking, Li Junshan walked to the cabin where he lived, and closed the door after entering. He sat on the bed, took out the yellow summoning secret book, concentrated his attention on the talisman pattern on it, and stretched out his fingers to draw quickly.

The days went on like this day by day, and the life on the boat was also boring. Li Junshan was cultivating his spiritual power almost all day long, but he hadn't made any progress yet. On the contrary, Fat's magic practice faintly showed signs of breaking through to an intermediate magician.

What made Li Junshan a little headache was that the little black dragon's appetite was really too big.

When he was bored on the boat, Li Junshan called it out to play. The little black dragon just fell asleep in the spiritual space, but it was obviously growing. If it was summoned outside, it would be as if it had been hungry for more than ten years. It could eat up the whole roast sheep in the blink of an eye.

Under the strange eyes of the servants, Li Junshan kept calling for them to bring food. Originally, the food on board was enough for a whole crew, but because of the addition of a little black dragon, the ship had to find some port cities to replenish food halfway.

Later, Bernie couldn't help looking for Li Junshan. If the summoned beast is placed in the spiritual space, it doesn't need to eat. He thought that Li Junshan was bored and summoned the alien to feed, so he euphemistically expressed the meaning that Lord Marquis is waiting in the imperial capital. dragged.

Li Junshan didn't call the little black dragon out any more. In this way, the sailboat sailed along the Nile River for thirteen days, and finally the galleon docked. The convoy walked west along the avenue for another three days, and finally arrived at the imperial capital of the Lance Empire--Oston City.

Alston City has a history of more than 400 years. Although it is not as old as some ancient ruins in the Alan Continent, it has a unique majesty and desolation.

Oston City is located in the center of the Reims Empire. Since King Andrew #阿罗雷 moved the imperial capital here from the cold northwest more than 400 years ago, this land that has been silent for centuries has only become noisy. King Andrew, who is also a devout believer of the Holy See, extravagantly ordered to build the tallest building in the Reims Empire in the city of Oston - the Central Cathedral. This unprecedented project lasted for more than two hundred years before it was completed. .

If it weren't for the continuous financial support provided by the Holy See, this central cathedral, built on the mountainside and 342 meters high from the horizon, would be enough to make the finance officials of the Lance Empire vomit blood and died.

After seeing the central cathedral, which has been praised countless times in the epic, from the carriage, Li Junshan was deeply shocked. This gothic-style central cathedral is closely connected with the towering Kiss Mountains. The building, which is all made of smooth stone bars, has a unique beauty of simple lines, reflecting the morning sun, which is natural and harmonious. . The towering spire of the sword pierces straight into the sky, making people look awe-inspiring.

At the foot of Keith Mountain is the vast city of Oston. The four-wheeled carriage entered the city of Oston along the wide bluestone road. The city guards thought it was a caravan at first, yawned and wanted to question them, and see if they could extort a few dollars. The gold coins and the badge symbolizing the Harriman family on the carriage immediately made them sleepless, and they immediately paid tribute to the carriage with the most respectful etiquette.

The carriage drove along the central avenue to the city center. This avenue was entirely paved with natural white stones from Taylor Snow Mountain. The central avenue, which was more than 3,000 meters in total, was full of bones. Li Junshan heard from Claure that those white stones were transported from the distant Taylor Snow Mountain to Alston City. On the 3,000-meter Central Avenue, more than 10,000 civilians and slaves died on the quarrying and stone transportation roads. .

The carriage turned into the Lyon district from the central avenue. The people who live here are not the royal family, but the important officials of the empire, and it is also the center of power of the Reims Empire. Except for the nobles or the nobles, no matter how rich the rich are, they are not eligible to live here.

The carriage turned into the Marquis of Sweet's mansion on the western edge of the Lyon district. After the coachman stopped the carriage, Li Junshan walked down with a harmless smile.

With his status, naturally there would be no big shots to greet him, let alone the Marquis of Sweet himself. There were a few servants standing in the courtyard to help move things.

Bernie went up to whisper a few words to a servant, then came to Li Junshan and said, Master Marquis is in the backyard, I will take you there now.

Li Junshan nodded to him, followed with Fate, looking around along the way. Green and red, the biggest feature of the huge Prince's Mansion is the planting of many exotic plants, from blooming roses to the extremely rare black epiphyllum that is almost extinct in the mainland, rockery, fish ponds, stone bridges, and flowing water. The layout complements each other. The scenery is much more elegant than the old Viscount Claure's mansion.

Turning around many attic pavilions along the way, Bernie led Li Junshan into the crescent-like arch, and a huge platform appeared in front of him, all made of white stone, like a big shining mirror.

There are dozens of shelves on both sides of the platform, on which are nothing more than weapons such as knives, guns and sticks. An old man with gray hair and a slightly stooped body is sitting on the empty platform, holding a thick book in his hand to read. is engrossed.

Master Marquis. Bernie walked over with Li Junshan, bowed and said respectfully: I brought Master Nicholas back.

The old man was the Marquis of Sweet, as if he had just noticed a few people coming, he raised his head to look at Li Junshan, smiled slightly, and said, You are Nicholas, you are quite similar to your grandfather.

I have seen the Marquis. Li Junshan gave a dignified salute and said, Nicholas sends his regards to you on behalf of his father and mother.

Looked for the door to make trouble, defeated the battle master with his own strength, and killed a sixth-level monster of a great summoner. Nicholas, you really have the same fiery temper as your grandfather Hadley. Marquis Sweet said With a smile, the eyes are particularly clear.

Li Junshan smiled shyly, but did not speak.

When you go to the imperial capital, the people you want to meet are the core of the Harriman family. In front of them, especially the old nobles in their seventies and eighties, don't try to exchange your own cleverness for benefits. Be yourself properly, even if you look like a fool, Maybe you can get what you want.

This is what Linda said to Li Junshan tearfully before leaving, and Li Junshan deeply agrees.

Bernie, take them down for breakfast first, and bring them here later. The old marquis grinned at Li Junshan, and continued to look down at the thick History of Imperial War in his hand.

Saying goodbye to Sweet, Li Junshan and Fate followed Bernie to leave the martial arts arena. The servants had already tidied up the room. The two changed their clothes and ate freely.

That's the Marquis. Fate took a bite of the veal sirloin and said vaguely with excitement, It's the first time I've stood so close to the Marquis.

Li Junshan glanced at him contemptuously. At this moment, he noticed that Bernie was walking around in the yard, pawing at random a few times, and then led Fate to the yard.

Following Bernie back to the martial field, it didn't take long. There were dozens of people standing on the empty martial field just now, all of them were youngsters who were about the same age as Li Junshan.

Li Junshan and the others went around from the sidelines and came behind the Marquis of Sweet. Bernie didn't say a word, and Li Junshan naturally didn't say much, and stood quietly and looked into the stadium curiously.

From Li Junshan's exquisite costumes, it can be seen that most of these teenagers are dressed in aristocratic clothes, neatly arranged together. While Li Junshan was looking at them, those people also glanced at him, playful and curious.

Okay, let's start. A tall man standing in front of the group said loudly, Each team trains separately.

In an orderly manner, the more than forty teenagers were divided into dozens of teams, and they did some basic training to strengthen their physical strength. Contrary to what Li Junshan had guessed, these teenagers not only moved well, but also some of them were taller and stronger, throwing the hundred-pound stone lock up and down very easily.

Hook. The Marquis of Sweet called softly, and the tall man responded, and ran over respectfully and stood with his hands down.

Well, these people have been here for a month, have they found any good seedlings? Sweet put down the book and asked calmly.

The tall man named Hook respectfully said: My Lord Marquis, a total of sixty-five people were sent last time. Except for the seven people who have magical potential and have been sent to George College to study, there are twenty-three people here who have become warriors. possible.

Yeah. Sweet nodded with satisfaction, and said: Observe for a while, if you really don't have any potential, send it to Jim to see if you have other qualifications, and send it home if you are useless.

Hook bowed in response, and Sweet stood up, waved to Li Junshan, and walked straight out. Li Junshan followed under the envious eyes of all the teenagers.
