Imperial Crown

Chapter 267 I am the King! [1 update]

Thank you very much for the 600 reward from the starting point father [Rulong 1911]!

...

The attack was soon quelled.

Compared with Impir's identity as a fourth-level necromancer, the damage he caused was quite limited.

In terms of personnel, including the 247 people who died on the spot in the Crystal Palace where the incident occurred, the total number of deaths and missing in the entire Eagle Town was 541, including the number of people killed by skeletons, executed for looting in the chaos, and trampled to death by each other.

This number is not large. The main reason for achieving such an achievement is that the Eagle Eye Guards controlled the core area at the first time, and then the Eagle Army's timely response also strangled the unrest in its cradle.

In terms of property, the Crystal Palace, as the origin of the incident, was completely burned down and needed to be cleaned up and rebuilt, but basically did not affect the surrounding buildings.

The seizures obtained from Impir were enough to completely cover the cost.

And Marquis Anthony, who was thousands of miles away, had no idea that his favorite entertainment venue in the Nord Province had been burned down.

In fact, he had already arrived outside the royal capital Mingnagar.

This legendary city full of gold was located on an endless plain. From a distance, it looked like a plateau rising abruptly.

The 15-meter-high city wall was originally white, but after nearly a thousand years of polishing, it has turned into a kind of vicissitudes of gray. The roads extending from the eight city gates connected the entire empire.

All roads lead to the royal capital.

It was six o'clock in the morning, accompanied by the sound of the bell tower in the city, and the eight city gates opened almost at the same time.

The city gate is 10 meters high and 16 meters wide. It is made of "dragon blood steel" and has been enchanted to offset any magic below level 6.

Under the action of the hinge, the city gate slowly rose, and carriages carrying fresh vegetables and raw meat drove into it in an orderly manner.

At the southwest gate, the traffic entering the gate was surging, but they consciously made way for a road because Marquis Anthony's carriage was driving into the city.

The two tall horses pulling the carriage were of unknown breed. Although their steps were as graceful as those of spring outing horses, their muscles were strong and powerful, and their teeth could be seen through the bridles, which were like those of vicious dogs.

They obviously had strong magical bloodlines. Otherwise, they would not be able to pull this huge carriage as big as a house.

The four thick wheels turned on the road, and the silver shell wrapped on the axle shone with a magical halo, which not only kept the temperature in the carriage warm in this cold weather, but also made the carriage not shake and bump like ordinary carriages. The teacup on the table did not even have a ripple.

This carriage was worth 2,740 gold coins, which was enough to equal the total income of a baron's family for two to three years.

But in the capital, it was just an ordinary means of transportation, and occasionally you could see carriages that were more luxurious than it.

The carriage passed through the flat streets, which gradually became wider from narrow to wide, from accommodating two carriages in parallel to being able to drive ten carriages without being crowded.

The sound gradually became quieter from the initial noise, and birds could be heard singing, and finally faint singing could be heard.

The buildings changed from low to high, from simple to gorgeous, and pedestrians wearing silk clothes could be seen everywhere. The bricks on the ground also changed from ordinary blue bricks to solid and luxurious granite.

In the innermost block, even street lights powered by magic energy could be seen everywhere.

After passing through a block that was almost made up of small castles, Anthony's carriage came to a square that could accommodate hundreds of thousands of people.

At the end of the square, there was a mountain rising from the ground.

That was the core of Mingnagar City, the heart of the entire Cairns Empire, and the imperial palace known as the "City That Never Falls" - the Royal Court!

It was located on a giant rock shaped by magic, 80 meters high, with steep and straight edges; the 20-meter-high city wall was so majestic that people would be in awe when they looked at it.

Only on the side facing the square, there is a wide staircase flowing down like a river, shining with golden light under the sun.

In the middle of the staircase, there is a relief like a scroll, telling the legendary life of Keynes I, the founder of the empire, from a commoner to the coronation.

At the end of the staircase, there is a sculpture taller than the city wall.

Keynes I is wearing a ninth-level armor and blood, holding a seventh-level "Dragon Roar" spear in one hand, with a lifelike Cyclops head on the spear head, looking proud!

Even after a thousand years, it still exudes unspeakable domineering and majesty.

Saluting respectfully to the statue, Marquis Anthony walked into the city under the guidance of the palace guards.

Ordinary people imagine wealth, that is, paving the ground with gold, but in the palace, gold is the least valuable thing.

There are clusters of flowers on both sides of the road, where you can see the most beautiful and rare flowers on the entire continent.

The "snake fern" on the seashore, the "moonlight fairy" that is a specialty of the elves, and even the "rock heart flower" that only grows deep in the earth's core and is regarded as a sacred object by the dwarves, are all blooming here.

These are the favorites of His Majesty the King today. Each plant has a magician responsible for individual care.

The main hall in the center is spacious and majestic, more solemn than the temple, but the meeting is not here today. Anthony was led into the side corridor, and after passing through two gardens, he came to His Majesty the King's bedroom.

Compared with the beauty and prosperity outside, the bedroom seems quite casual and low-key. Only insiders can see its extraordinaryness.

Rows of candles were burning on the walls on both sides - they were "whale candles" transported from the Kingdom of Podomich and imported from the Naga clan. They were refined from the fat of the halberd demon whale. The price of one candle in the place of origin It's as high as 31.7 gold coins, and from the seaside to the Middle Earth, which is thousands of miles away, the price has ballooned to around 140 gold coins.

Compared with ordinary candles, it burns longer, one candle is enough to last 8-12 days, and there is no smoky smoke. Instead, it exudes a refreshing fragrance that can refresh the mind and relieve fatigue.

It is said that it can also enhance male physique and prolong the time in bed. Although there is no concrete evidence, it is enough to win the favor of big shots.

The floor of the spacious room is covered with a whole piece of goose-yellow griffon velvet carpet. It feels warm whenever you step on it. It is as soft as a baby's skin, but it does not make people feel hot.

As the best raw material for robes, griffon down is taken from griffin chicks aged 0-2 years old. Each griffon can only harvest about 1.5 pounds of such down in its life.

The blanket now spread on the ground cost a total of 837 pounds.

Griffin velvet is a specialty product in the royal estate. It is usually only used for rewards and will not be sold to outsiders.

A half-meter-square piece of griffon velvet once appeared on the black market, weighing only 1 pound, but was immediately taken away for a high price of 1,700 gold coins.

In the center is a wooden table that is 10 meters long and 3 meters wide. On the table is a map of the entire continent. If you look closely, you will find that not only are the edges of this map clear, but the light and shadow flicker, showing the shape of the terrain. The highs and lows are all intuitively displayed.

Behind the table, there was a young man with disheveled hair standing. He was tall, but not very strong. Instead, he looked a little thin. He was wearing a wide silk robe, tied in the shape of a pebolus.

This kind of ancient-style clothes looks like a curtain draped over his body at first glance. Combined with his somewhat thin body, he looks like a melancholy young man obsessed with philosophy.

But when he slowly raised his head, his overall temperament changed dramatically.

His face was as slender as his body, but it gave people a sense of coercion like a dragon.

Those energetic eyes looked down at Anthony like a hawk, scrutinizing and sizing him up, obviously without any emotion, but as if they were ready to eat Anthony alive at any time.

Anthony's nose twitched slightly and he knelt on one knee: "Your Majesty the King, Anthony Vanya Edwards has been ordered to come to see you."

Keynes XVI, who had just turned 30, took another deep look at Anthony, and then casually said: "Get up."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Anthony stood up and sighed: "Your Majesty's life has become more and more simple."

"Haha, if you want to be the master of the revival, how can you do it without being simple?" Keynes XVI smiled slightly: "You have been traveling for more than a year, tell me, what different customs and customs have you seen on the way? "

"I have indeed seen a lot." Anthony said: "Thanks to the grace of His Majesty the King, the empire is now flourishing with flowers, not to mention singing and dancing. Even in the Nordic province, which is famous for its bitter cold, everyone is happy. What I have seen Everyone respects and admires you very much.”

"You have such a good mouth." Keynes XVI sneered: "Then the Nord province just experienced a military disaster a few years ago, and now it is almost enough to have enough food and clothing, and everyone is happy?"

"How dare I deceive Your Majesty?" Marquis Anthony said sternly: "Although there was a military disaster there, you are here to care for me. Earl Tyrone of the Slater family is dedicated to his duties, and the nobles from various families are united. In fact, there is no Not much impact.”

"Especially the new Baron Raven of the Griffith family. Although he is young, he has a shrewd mind and a lot of clever ideas."

Keynes XVI’s brows were furrowed until Anthony’s last words:

"The Griffith family, I didn't expect that not only did they inherit the family to this day, but they also had the potential to rise."

"Your Majesty, I have a question. I don't know whether I should ask it." Anthony said.

"You want to ask why I pay so much attention to the Griffith family?" Keynes XVI asked.

Without waiting for Anthony to answer, Keynes XVI continued: "You will go to Nord Province later, so it doesn't hurt to tell you."

"Everything starts with their family's ancestor, Don Quixote..."

Don Quixote rose to prominence during the Third Orc War. He became brilliant in the later stages of the war and was promoted to the rank of Count in the Field due to his military exploits.

That was the earl during the founding of the country.

If it follows the normal trajectory, not to mention how prosperous the Griffith family is now, at least it should be inherited in an orderly manner, taking root in the Nord province, and possessing power.

However, when he was 41 years old, he made a huge mistake and was deprived of his title and territory, becoming a baron and living on the frontier.

What exactly happened during that period is unclear in any records, and only the royal family knows the secret.

In the year 211 of the Light Calendar, Don Quixote, as the commander-in-chief, led an army to attack the Elf Empire.

On the surface, this was a retaliatory war launched because the Elf Empire once led its army to help the Orc Empire fight against the humans.

But Don Quixote also shoulders a secret mission, which is to obtain the "magic of immortality" secreted by the legendary elves.

The war ended in peace talks and the mission ultimately failed.

All signs indicate that it was because Don Quixote wanted to enjoy this eternal life alone and was selfish that he failed.

But when he faced Keynes I later, Don Quixote said that he was testing the fire with his own body, because according to the information he got, only elves could bear the magic of immortality, which was a pure curse for other races.

This statement certainly could not convince the ambitious Keynes I, but he could not be punished for such a crime that could not be brought to the table.

In order to prove his innocence, Don Quixote asked for a reduction of his title and a reduction of his title in a nearly self-imprisonment, trapping himself in the small Eagle Territory.

Later, Don Quixote's statement really came true. As a seventh-level strongman, he died suddenly at the age of 51. After several generations, no one of his descendants could live beyond 40 years old.

In this way, the royal family gradually relaxed their surveillance on the Griffith family, and this secret was passed down from generation to generation, warning every heir not to blindly pursue immortality.

At this point, Keynes XVI suddenly smiled: "Tell me, was Griffith really loyal, or was he acting like that because he was selfish and fell into a trap?"

Anthony secretly cursed himself for being so mean. He was listening to a story for no reason, but now this fatal question was placed in front of him.

Speaking of loyalty, it is really hard to define the behavior of Don Quixote; but if it is said to be disloyal, Griffith really saved the royal family from a disaster.

Otherwise, if this curse fell on the royal family, I am afraid that the current Keynes Empire would have been destroyed for a long time!

But the question had to be answered. Anthony thought for a moment and said, "Don Quixote has been dead for 900 years. I really can't guess what he was thinking, but now this Griffith is loyal."

This answer was a bit slick. Cairns XVI shook his head and chuckled, but he didn't get to the bottom of it: "What do you mean?"

Anthony secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Majesty, I said before that although Raven is young, he has many ideas. He invented an object called "Angel's Glory" before."

"And after a little guidance from me, he took the initiative to present you a unique product in the world."

"Unique?" Cairns XVI didn't believe it: "Although he is a third-level wizard, he is just a baron in the borderland after all. What unique things can he come up with?"

"Please allow me to show it." Anthony said.

"Okay, take it out, but if it doesn't suit my taste..."

Before he finished speaking, Anthony's hand flashed with light, and then the large Angel's Glory appeared in front of Cairns XVI.

"My portrait?" Cairns XVI was startled, then realized something was wrong, walked forward, and watched his figure become clearer and clearer in it.

"What is Angel's Glory? Isn't it just a mirror?"

Although he said so, Cairns's mouth curled up a slightly surprised smile. He looked at his image outlined in the mirror and was extremely satisfied.

In order to get a perfect portrait, Cairns XVI once recruited a group of painters in the royal city, but no matter who it was, they could not show the perfect self in his mind.

He even cut off the hands of 31 painters at one time, but still couldn't get the portrait he wanted.

And now, this Angel's Glory clearly reflects his image, reflecting his handsomeness, his unrestrainedness, and his domineering.

Yes, this is perfection.

He is perfect in himself, and he doesn't need the painter to pretend!

"This gift, you are thoughtful, and the kid from the Griffith family can be regarded as inheriting the loyalty of his ancestors." Cairns XVI waved his hand and ordered the guards to move the Angel's Glory aside.

"But what is the competition all about?"

Finally, this topic came up, and Anthony's heart, which had been hanging for a long time, was slightly relieved. After all, it seemed that His Majesty was in a very good mood at the moment.

He carefully considered his words: "In fact, this was originally just an event to celebrate Raven's wedding, but..."

Anthony's ability to express himself was good. When he was telling the story, he basically did not exaggerate, but laid out the objective facts one by one, including the fact that the development of the matter was beyond his expectations.

It was not until the semi-finals, when the battle between Gul'dan and Akori ended, that Cairns XVI, who had been listening quietly, asked: "Did you just watch Fox win?"

"No, Your Majesty." Anthony bowed his head and said: "In fact, before that battle, I visited Montreal in my personal capacity and had a deep conversation with him for a night, persuading him to stop and withdraw from the competition..."

"Stupid." Cairns XVI commented coldly: "You represent me, and you can't cover up this fact in your personal capacity. Can he, a mere earl, still ask the royal family to be humble to him? Persuade him?"

"It is true that I was not thoughtful enough." Anthony said bitterly: "But I just thought that we are all imperial nobles, and there should be no difference in our loyalty to Your Majesty."

"After all, your punishment of the Fox family is just a small punishment, which is not worth mentioning compared with the crimes they committed. Such magnanimity is already a favor from you."

Keynes XVI asked: "What did Montreal say?"

"He said..." Anthony looked at Keynes XVI cautiously: "He said that he had already felt the grace of His Majesty the King, and he dared not feel it again!"

Keynes XVI's brows suddenly jumped, he grinned, anger surged, his face became ferocious, and then turned into a smile: "You were so speechless by him?"

"Of course not. At that time, I sternly condemned Montreal's arrogant words." Anthony said sternly: "But he said that you should learn from your father. The king cannot do whatever he wants. If he is guilty, then he will be punished according to the laws of the empire. His sin."

"Law...Law..." Keynes XVI stood up and walked around, his laughter trembling: "He told me about law...!?"

At this point, he finally couldn't maintain his grace and dignity. He kicked the stool in front of him with his kick. With his eyes red and his cheeks tense, he walked up to Anthony, raised a finger and roared: "

I

am

the

King!"
