After the prince was captured by the dragon

Chapter 6

Everyone who comes to Hull City can't help but marvel at him.

The city of Hull was built next to the mountain, and it took countless manpower and material resources to build it. The city wall was too tall, and the people standing under the city wall seemed extremely small.Small human beings can feel the majesty and inviolability just by looking at the city.

The gate of the city was opened wide, and well-trained soldiers appeared in uniform steps, and the strict military discipline was vividly displayed in this order.

The Duke of Rennes is 45 years old this year, but he looks like he is 30 years old. He is full of energy. He is riding a horse, wearing armor, and wearing a long sword.Different from the swords often worn by nobles in the imperial capital, which are always thin and long, with ornate carvings on the scabbard, exaggerated and impractical, the long sword worn by the Duke of Rennes is very simple, even a little old .

If you look carefully, you will find that it is not old rust, but blood rust that is difficult to wash off.

The Duke of Rennes rode forward to greet Lynn and his party, and approached, but the Duke of Rennes did not dismount, but bowed his head on the horse to express his respect for Lynn.

"Your Majesty the Prince, whom the Governor of the Northwest Frontier County, Ren Gata, has seen."

The people behind Lin En couldn't help but frown. It was too neglectful to salute like this.

Lynn was not angry, he had an impeccable smile on his face, as if he had not been slighted at all, he nodded slightly and said: "Lynn Rochefort has met the Duke of Wren, may the Goddess of Light protect you You and the great North West Frontiers."

Ren raised his eyebrows and remained calm in the face of provocations. This kind of performance was considered excellent. He couldn't help but fix his eyes on him, examining the eldest prince.

When ordinary people saw Lynn, it was difficult not to fix their eyes on his face, because his appearance was too good. As a general who fought all the year round, Renn's focus was on other things.

What Lynn wore was not a complicated and ridiculous noble dress, but a capable military uniform, without extra decorations that would restrict his actions. The sword on his waist was not the slender and beautiful sword commonly used by nobles, but an enchanted stainless steel sword. A sword, a truly lethal saber.

Ren took a few glances and concluded that the prince should not be a showman.

So he curbed his negligence, and said with a smile on his face: "It is an honor for the city of Hull to be here with His Highness."

Ren didn't talk too much nonsense, turned the direction of the horse, raised his left hand, and made a gesture of please towards the city of Hull.

Lin En was not humble either. The majesty of the royal family did not allow him to be humble. He rode his horse to the front, and the Duke of Wren followed diagonally behind.

They entered the city of Hull.

The city of Hull looks majestic on the outside, but it is also full of sharpness on the inside. The buildings are rough and generous. The passers-by in the city, both men and women, are strong and strong, and they carry weapons with them. The folk customs are sturdy, which can be seen.

Ren introduced Hull City to Lynn after entering the city, with an amiable and respectful attitude, as if the initial neglect and provocation did not exist.

When passing by the statue in the city, Lynn looked at the statue carefully and asked, "My lord, that statue doesn't seem to be the goddess of light?"

There are many gods in the legends of Kaiser West, but the only one praised by the whole continent is the goddess of light, but the statue in Hull City is clearly a male.

"That's right." Ren said calmly: "This is the God of War Sukea. There are many wars in the northwest. If necessary, every resident of Hull City can mount a horse and act as a warrior. Compared with the Goddess of Light, His Highness the God of War is more suitable for us."

If the temple monks in the imperial capital heard this, they might jump up and scold the Duke of Rennes, the goddess of light shines on the earth, how can you choose?

But it was Lin En who heard these words. Frankly speaking, he admired such courage, but... Lin En looked at the tall God of War Su Kea.

In the myth of Kaisersi, Su Kea fought bravely and had no match for his divine power, but he had a violent personality and unsatisfied desires. He was dissatisfied with his status and launched a rebellion against the goddess of light, which was finally suppressed.

God of War Sukea is not just a God of War.

Lynn will not mention Su Kea's rebellion here, so he said politely: "It is indeed very suitable."

Not far from the God of War Sukea statue is the Governor's Mansion. From time to time, the servants of the Governor's Mansion come and go, very busy. Seeing Lin En's party and the army next to him, they all stopped their movements and saluted respectfully.

Even the servants of the governor's mansion are well-trained.

Ryan explained at the right time: "Tonight is my daughter's birthday party, and I haven't fully prepared it yet, so it's a little messy. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

Naturally, Lynn would not blame him. He said a few words politely, and under the guidance of the Duke of Rennes, he dismounted and walked into the Governor's Mansion.

Ren led him to the study room of the Governor's Mansion, and said in front of the door: "Your Highness, why don't we go in and talk?" He glanced at the group of people behind Lynn and gestured with his eyes.

Lynn's guard Luke frowned, and put his left hand on the hilt of his sword.

Lynn made a look at him, stopped him, and entered the study with Renn.

Now he is at the residence of the Duke of Rennes. No matter what happens, the Duke of Rennes cannot get rid of it. There is no need for them to be so nervous.

In Ren's study room, apart from the official documents on the desk and a bookshelf of geography, military and astronomy books, there is a map of the Crohn Empire hanging on the wall that takes up more space, and two desk-sized simulated sand tables, simulating the terrain of the Northwest Frontier County , and a shelf larger than a bookshelf filled with weapons of all colors.

"Your Excellency is worthy of being a lion in the Northwest. Even the study is full of murderous aura, as if you can mount a horse and fight in the next moment." Lin En looked at the decoration of the study and seemed to praise it sincerely.

"After all, there are many wars in the northwest." Ren seemed to have not heard the wit in Lin En's words, and changed the subject lightly. "I heard that His Highness has gained a lot in the northwest."

Lynn raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Does the Duke know what I have gained?"

The two looked at each other for a moment, and the Duke of Rennes took the initiative to say: "I heard that Your Highness has a new pink lizard, which is very interesting. I have specially prepared something for you, and I think you will like it."

Ren put a space ring on the table and pushed it towards Lynn.

Lynn's face sank. It wasn't long before he got the pink lizard, and not many people knew about it. How could Renn know?

Unless... the governor of the Northwest Frontier County has been sending people to monitor him.

So, how much does he know about Lin En's investigation in the Northwest Frontier County?

Lin En looked at the seemingly sincere smile on Ren's face, and the same seemingly sincere smile appeared on his face, and said, "I really want to know what the Duke of Renn gave me."

He took the ring, inspected the unowned ring with mental power, and his smile froze.

In the ring, besides some pearl and gemstone cufflinks and some pet supplies, there is also an account book.

Lin En simply recognized the owner of the ring, took out the account book, and asked, "This is..."

Ren said with a look of surprise: "This is an account book dedicated to His Majesty. I guess I didn't pay attention and accidentally put it in."

He clearly shirked that he was spying on Lynn, but Lynn didn't have any evidence to testify against him.

"In here..."

"This is the income and expenditure of the Northwest Frontier County. Your Highness can take a look."

"Since the Duke agrees, I will not be polite."

Lin En opened the account book. The account book records are very detailed, and the effect is very intuitive. The income of the Northwest Frontier County is poor, but the expenditure is terrible.

The northwest has a harsh climate, few crops can survive, and agriculture is underdeveloped.Except for iron ore, which is strictly prohibited to be mined at will, there are no special products to be praised, and businessmen are unwilling to travel long distances to the northwest to develop, so commerce is not developed, and income is very small.

However, every winter, a small nomadic country called Telusu in the northwestern part would come to harass it. War is a money-selling machine. Weapons, soldiers' salaries, pensions, and war supplies all consume a lot.

In general, we can't make ends meet.

Lin En closed the account book and tentatively said, "Master Duke, you mean to ask His Majesty..."

Before he finished speaking, Ren responded: "Every year, I will provide the account books of the Northwest Frontier County to Your Majesty. I hope that Your Majesty can give more military expenses to the Northwest, but Your Majesty never satisfies the Northwest's request, and sometimes even cuts military expenses. Frankly Said that now Northwest can't even afford new weapons, so they can only build them secretly."

"It's against the rules."

"Your Majesty also wants our Northwest Army to repel the enemy, but does not pay the Northwest Army any money. Do you think this is the rule, Your Highness?"

Lynn was silent.

"I think Your Highness, you have discovered the weapons of Nari City. Your Highness, look at the account book, and the number of damaged weapons is recorded on it. Do you think the weapons of Nari City can fill this gap?"

Lynn shook her head.

Compared with the loopholes in the account books, the weapons in Nari City are really not that many.

"If there was no Nari City, the Northwest Frontier County would have been trampled by Trusu's horseshoes long ago. Your Highness, I must explain to you that in fact, Nari City will only start forging weapons when it is about to enter autumn, and more forging at other times I will manage some ordinary ironware, and the entire Northwest depends on the operation of this ironware to maintain a year's expenses. Your Highness, I can let you go and check, and you can take a closer look to see if Nari City is dangerous." Lei En paused, "I just hope that you don't tell His Majesty the situation of Nari City. Once His Majesty seals Nari City, the entire Northwest Frontier County will be finished."

Lynn and Renn looked at each other, and Renn's eyes were open.

Lin En looked away first, and he thought for a moment: "I understand the difficulties of the Northwest Frontier County, and I will try my best to help the Northwest Frontier County."

Ren smiled and said sincerely, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Lynn didn't say a word, he didn't promise to hide it.

Although the Duke of Rennes explained it very clearly, this is his one-sided opinion after all, and His Majesty Miles of the Crohn Empire is not a fatuous emperor. As an emperor, he will think more and not approve military expenses He has his own reasons.

As the prince of the empire and the inspector of the Northwest Frontier County, what Lin En has to do is not to make decisions for him, but to tell the truth about the situation in the Northwest. He believes that His Majesty will make a decision.
