Can you become stronger without paying money?

Chapter One Hundred and Sixteen

Okay, here is today's third update...

So far, the second guaranteed update has been completed, and the progress of the additional update (2/29)...

Penguin and Turtle are paying off their debts quickly...

Well, next is the text, above~

————————————————————————————————————

Reinhardt Lawrence, the commander of the imperial court guards...one of the three super-limits of the empire, with a "Sura"-like ruthless image of beheading the enemy is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, no matter what kind of enemy or opponent he faces. He can carry out orders coldly, so he is a terrible person in every sense, but...

...The unexpected popularity is extremely high.

The uncle's greeting just made the man's eyes wander a little bit, and the expression on his face was still the same cold look, "It's later than expected, it's not like your style... Yalut..."

As soon as the man opened his mouth, the voice was as sharp and cold as a cold blade, and Fei couldn't help shivering. It was a strong sense of fear that came from her instinct. He didn't even have the guts to stare, but shrank directly behind Riel.

"...Hehe, it's not that I'm going to be late, it's just that something happened and I was delayed. It's really strange that you are the one who greets guests. I remember that you never like this kind of work of welcoming guests."

Of course, this man's eyes can make people feel chills all over, and his mouth can make people tremble. If you go to negotiate with someone, he can make the other party feel scared by poking there without saying a word, but You said that if you went to welcome guests, wouldn't he be making trouble like this? It always gives people a sense of déjà vu that he might pick off your head if he disagrees with you in a second.

Of course, this is not the case in fact, or rather, because it is beyond the limit level, it has no interest in most ordinary people's opponents. Unless it is the emperor's order, otherwise the commander of the imperial guards has rarely taken the initiative to kill If there is a reason, the opponent is too weak, not challenging, and a waste of energy...

But no matter what, this temperament image is not suitable for welcoming guests. Of course, this person knows this, so he is here.

"His Majesty Isaac's order, there may be some stupid people who don't know how to live or die try to cause trouble in the empire in the near future, so order me to investigate every possible target, especially those from foreign countries."

As soon as this sentence came out, he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. He glanced at the ghost twins beside Riel, and the atmosphere suddenly turned cold. In the eyes of the uncle, it is a "suspicious" object.

"Hehe, so I'm included in this suspicious person~" Uncle Arut didn't mind, and asked back with a smile, while the other party looked at him casually.

"No matter who the transboundary class is, they are the key objects of care, whether it's you...or Aaron..."

At the same time as the voice came out, the uncle was approached with a fierce and murderous aura, which was enough to make ordinary people urinate on the spot, and the timid ones might even lose consciousness directly because of it.

"Hehe, that work was really hard. After the work here is over, go and have a drink with me~" The uncle seemed to not feel the aggressive aura at all, and waved his hand lightly, and the cold aura disappeared without a trace. Don’t play this way, every time you come here, you always do this, if you want to scare people, you have to change your tactics..."

"..." Immediately, the corners of the man's mouth rose slightly, drawing a slight arc, but it quickly returned to normal, "Okay, the inspection is over... don't I need to take you to the accommodation?"

The uncle shrugged his shoulders calmly, "No need, I know the place, you can do your work, I won't come here to join in blindly..."

The man who said this frowned slightly, "Isn't it rare in your life to get married?"

As soon as these words came out, Shalan next to him couldn't help laughing out loud. Indeed, one of the most famous tempers of Master Arut is that he likes to go around and take the initiative to help. Even occasionally, he doesn't care whether the other party needs help or not. I can't help itching when dealing with criminal behavior, and I have to take care of it before I am reconciled.

Because of this temper, he has gained an astonishing reputation in the whole continent, and he is greeted by people everywhere he goes, but it is also because of this temper that many people feel helpless towards him... After all, sometimes some facts are not suitable Outsiders intervene.

Unexpectedly, the uncle was at the limit level when he debuted back then, and his strength was so high that no one dared to jump out to confront him when he was nosy. After that, the uncle's strength rose all the way to exceed the limit... Naturally, no one cares about him up.

The uncle, who knows his reputation well, can only helplessly spread his hands, "Don't say that, generally speaking, I only care about things that no one cares about, and things that people care about... Actually, I'm rarely blind Participating."

"..." The man didn't speak, but this reaction was very telling. The uncle scratched his hair and smiled, and took Riel and the others away from the airship docking station.

"Huh, so... What a scary person..." After leaving the dock, Fei, who had been shrinking behind Riel, took a big breath. Even at this moment, she still had a look of shock on her face, ghost twin sisters Standing next to Riel on one side, there was no obvious change in expression, but Riel could feel that the bodies of the two sisters were shaking slightly. Although the man just glanced at the two sisters just now, he almost took the The two were terrified.

"Well, he is indeed a scary person..." Riel stretched out his hand and rubbed Fei's hair, and while retracting his hand, he hugged the twins' shoulders left and right. While being pulled closer by Riel, Riel clearly felt the two His heart beats surprisingly fast.

"Don't be afraid... No one here knows who you are..." Riel said in such a low voice, the emotions of the two sisters calmed down a little.

Then Riel felt someone pulling the corner of his clothes, and when Riel turned around, he saw the big cat staring at her tearfully.

"Uh, what's wrong with you?"

"Just now, when that scary man was staring at him just now, his tail straightened up... cramped..."

"..." Ah, what expression should I show at this time? !

It is said that this buddy frightened most of our harem at a glance, and Safili is used to seeing big scenes, and she is still indifferent to this situation, and is still responsible for comforting Fei who has not turned around.

The uncle was also a little helpless, "Hey, after all, he is in charge of security work all day long, and killing people is his main business... He also practices the Asura Way, and the skill of practicing by killing is indeed not something ordinary people can get along with..."

"...Ala, I think he's quite easy to get along with~" the maid girl Shalan said with a hearty smile, and the uncle felt even more helpless immediately.

"...Ah, Osar, it seems that not only is there a problem with your way of teaching daughters, but mine is also quite serious."

"Teacher, adoptive father~ what are you talking about?"

"...No, it's nothing, I praise you for being sensible."

The uncle obviously didn't want to delve into this topic. Led by the uncle and several members of the welcoming group, a group of people came to the state guesthouse in the southern part of the imperial capital to entertain the state guests. The most conspicuous thing that caught the eye was the red dragon, the symbol of the empire. After the emblem, the next thing that catches the eye is a symbol that several people are also very familiar with - the logo of the bellflower.

"...Ah, these profiteers are really everywhere." After looking up, everyone couldn't help sighing that these businessmen are really powerful, and they can be seen no matter where they go.

"Speaking of which, I remember that in addition to delegations from various countries, some large organizations on the mainland also participated in the National Day Ceremony. For example, the Bluebell Chamber of Commerce sent a delegation to present a gift for the Empire's National Day."

When the uncle led everyone to register outside the state guesthouse, he turned around and agreed, "Yes, but they won't be with us. There will be special receptions for representatives of these big organizations, and there will be some Meetings involving these individuals unfold."

The registration has been completed during the talk, the uncle took Riel and the others straight to the sixth floor of the State Guest House, and entertained four groups of delegations on this floor, except that everyone belonged to the Kingdom of Borea, and there were The delegations of the other three countries that have made friends with each other will be entertained on different floors, so as to avoid the embarrassment of meeting each other.

...Well, there is nothing embarrassing about it. It would be too ugly for a representative of a country to openly break faces with other representatives on such an occasion. Even if he wants to strangle the other party, he can still smile and shake hands with the other party. This is basically He doesn't even have any acting skills, so he is not qualified to be entertained here. It's just a little bit easier for people to accept.

In his own place, he met Osar and Leviathan who had already arrived one step ahead. As soon as the two sides met, Osar asked the uncle a few questions, and the uncle answered them all one by one.

"Well, it seems that the situation is more complicated than expected..." Osar's expression became more serious after hearing the information he received from the Asian People's Congress Federation, "Forget it, you don't need to think about it now. There is an important matter to meet His Majesty Isaac, let's put other things aside..."

Only three members of the Borea Kingdom delegation were actually invited to participate in the National Day Ceremony, Osar, Yalut and Leviathan. After they were all present, they would naturally go to meet the emperor, and Riel and the others naturally did not It is possible to go together, so the afternoon is equal to the free time for everyone.

"Hey, since this is the case, I said that the opportunity is rare, why don't I take everyone to the capital?" Riel naturally proposed such a proposal...

Chapter One Hundred and Seventeen

Ok, here is the first update of today...

So now the chapter of the guaranteed update is completed today, and the progress of the additional update this month (2/29)...

The big news chapter of the imperial capital is about to break in, first pull out the relevant personnel to get acquainted, the stage has been set up, and the actors are starting to announce the scene, everyone, get ready to make a fuss~

Next is the text, above~

————————————————————————————————————

Since we are going to visit the capital, it is natural that Riel, a half-Imperial man who is "set up", will lead the way. After finishing the lunch, Osar, Uncle Arut and Leviathan went to meet Aisa Emperor Ke, if Ling and Baili's delays were not counted, they were already the last group to arrive.

The three of them left in a hurry, Riel was not in a hurry, anyway, it was nothing for them to participate in the National Day Ceremony, they just came here to get acquainted with delegations from other countries, Riel took people with them Leisurely began to appreciate the scenery of the imperial capital of the empire. The nest of big and small families walking on the road, but it was not too eye-catching. After all, it was the capital of the first empire, and everyone living here It can be regarded as having some vision, besides, it is the period of the National Day Ceremony of the Empire, and there are also many tourists from foreign countries. Big difference.

"This is the empire...it's amazing..." The ground under your feet is a flat concrete road. The road is wide enough for three carriages to drive side by side. On both sides of the carriageway, there are footpaths for pedestrians, which are completely separated from each other. Vehicles and pedestrians, shops and businesses lined up on both sides of the road, not the kind of open-air stalls, but all businesses with facades and shops, showing order and prosperity everywhere.

Sapphire showed envious eyes as she walked, and finally couldn't help but sighed, "Hey, although I'm super unwilling, the capital of our Borea Kingdom and the capital of the empire are really not on the same level at all. There's no comparison at all..."

"Hehe, there's nothing I can do about it..." Riel touched his pocket, ran to a fruit shop and bought a big bag of apples, and threw one at the same time as he came, "...The family here in the empire has a big business, If you can afford to pay a lot of money to recruit talents to run a school, the quality of talents will improve, and the technology tree will naturally climb much faster than others, and the more so, the better the empire will develop. This is a virtuous circle of continuous growth.”

Sapphire caught the apple thrown by Riel, sighed and took a bite unwillingly, "Well, that's right... The development of a country does not only depend on military strength, but comprehensive national strength is the key. I feel that I lost my temper at all..."

Riel smiled and patted Sapphire on the shoulder, "Okay, don't talk about these depressing words, we are here to go shopping and relax, let's go, I will take you to see something that even the king can't see~"

This is the southern area of ​​the imperial capital, if there is anything that cannot be missed here...

A group of people, led by Riel, came to Chengnan Park in the South District. After walking around the park, they came to a place full of tourists.

It can be said that it is a landmark building in the southern area of ​​the entire king's capital. Countless tourists gather here just to take a look at it...

It was a statue, a male statue 12 meters high...

…This man is wearing a war robe with a golden crown on his head, holding a sword decorated with a red dragon emblem on his waist with his right hand, and a golden ball engraved with a map of the mainland in his left hand.

The scepter and sword symbolize the power of the emperor and the sword symbolizes the martial arts. The golden ball engraved with the map of the continent represents the absolute ownership of this land. Before identifying himself as an emperor, he was first a warrior and general who fought in all directions, and the golden crown on his head at the end showed his true identity.

The founding emperor of the Isaac Empire...the first Isaac the Great...the man who once held the entire continent in applause.

"Well, amazing..." Although this was not the first time he sighed after coming to the capital, everyone couldn't help but sigh in admiration at this moment.

Obviously it is just a sculpture and not a real person, and obviously from the facial features, the emperor's face can only be regarded as "tough" rather than "dominant" or "handsome", but when facing this statue, it seems to be able to see the face of the original The peerless demeanor of a man who single-handedly set off a troubled world and is on the verge of unification...

"This is something you have to see when you come to the capital. If you don't see it, it's tantamount to visiting the capital for nothing. Although it's just a statue, it can only restore one-tenth of my charm, but it's enough to make people admire Right~ After all, this statue is the work of the dwarf sculptor among the demihumans...Arias..."

"Ah, I heard..." Sapphire nodded and saluted the statue with admiration, "...that master has two masterpieces in the imperial capital, one is the sculpture of Emperor Isaac in front of him , and one more thing... I remember it was at the Imperial Academy of Magic?"

"That's right..." Riel took the conversation straight away, "It's in the Imperial Academy of Magic, and it's in a place open to visitors. It's in the northern part of the capital. Let's go and have a look later~"

As the core of imperial magic research, [-]% of the research-related parts are definitely not open to the outside world, not to mention open to the outside world, ordinary people will definitely die if they stray into it and see something casually, no matter what they look at. What you see or whether you can understand it is one of the biggest foundations for the strength of the empire, and it is impossible to be sloppy anyway.

However, except for those core research areas, some of the latest magic research that can be announced to the public can naturally be exhibited for the public to watch, and through the exhibition accompanied by graphic explanations, the public can also let the public understand these magical products. A certain degree of understanding and understanding is equivalent to popularizing magic knowledge in disguise, and has made a remarkable contribution to the basic national policy of education for all in the empire.

In short, a group of people set their sights on the next stop, and after turning around in the park again, the people who went to the North District accurately decided to have an afternoon drink at a very famous dessert house in the South District under Riel's suggestion. Tea to relax.

Sweets are stored in another stomach. Even though they just had lunch not long ago, a group of girls unanimously approved the proposal. Therefore, everyone went to the place led by Riel, but once they arrived, they looked at the familiar sign, someone showed a dumbfounding expression.

"...the bluebells again?"

Yes... Bellflower is not just a hotel chain, this dessert house is also an industry under Bellflower, but anyway, everyone and Bellflower are very familiar, so they don't think too much about making complaints, and push the door together And enter.

Such a large group of people came in, which was naturally more eye-catching. The guests at several tables in the store cast curious eyes on Riel and the group, but everyone's eyes didn't stay for too long, and they moved away as soon as they looked. up.

There were only two men and women at the table sitting in the back. The man looked at Riel and the others for a while, and his gaze naturally attracted the attention of Riel and the others. Surprised, subconsciously wanted to hide behind Riel, Ghost Twins couldn't help subconsciously taking half a step back.

Riel didn't care about this at all, and after exchanging glances with Sapphire, they warmly greeted her together.

"Oh, this is really an unexpected reunion..."

"...Brother Peruway~"

Although he is not wearing a military uniform, this man is none other than Peluwe, the commander of the City Guards of Karot City who had friendship with Riel and Sapphire before... Of course, it is Uncle Pegasus Lauren who is the closest. Proud son.

"You two? Hehe, it was indeed an unexpected reunion. I didn't expect the two of you to come to the capital, Riel, and then...Sa..." When greeting Sapphire, the younger brother obviously hesitated, although at the beginning He didn't figure out Sapphire's true identity when he was in Karot City, but now he definitely knows, so he also has a headache about how to greet her.

Just when the little brother was a little embarrassed, the woman at the table with the little brother immediately became interested, "...Hey, are you an acquaintance of Mr. Peruvian? That must be an ordinary person, can you introduce me easily? ? Master Peruvian~"

When she said this, the eyes of several people naturally fell on this woman. She looked about 25 or [-] years old, dressed in a smart attire, wearing a pair of rimless glasses, a pocket watch hanging from her waist, and a watch pinned to her chest. Pen, looks like a clerical staff.

And Peruway just used her words to introduce, "Well, let's introduce each other, this is one of the three regional business leaders of the Bellflower Chamber of Commerce in the empire, Ms. Xiya Pei... Then ..."

Peruwei asked Safiley and everyone with his eyes, Safiley nodded calmly, so Peruwei was relieved, "Then, this is Riel Orlande, even my The outstanding talent that my father also admired unceasingly, the one next to me is Shalan Kaxiu..."

Shia's eyes lit up immediately, "Oh, the adopted daughter of Master Arut Kashu? It's a pleasure to meet you, I'm a loyal supporter of Master! I didn't expect to see you with my own eyes~"

Shalan also responded politely, "It's also a great honor to meet you. The teacher and I have been taken care of by the Bellflower Chamber of Commerce more than once, so we should say thank you~"

Who has traveled around the mainland, who has never patronized the industry under the Bellflower Chamber of Commerce?As one of the three regional business leaders of Bluebells in the Empire, Xia in front of him is definitely a character, so Sharan also behaved very politely.

"Well, this is Fei..." Peruwei gestured to the girl in the old city. After all, she was a cat and a mouse at the beginning. This impression of her identity couldn't be shaken off, which made Fei still a little cautious in front of Peruwei. "...It seems that you are living a good life now. Hehe, your father is also doing well now. After Scar was executed, the old city has been completely controlled by your father. He also cooperates with the actions of our city guards. Now he is the only one in the old town, and I will tell him later that you are doing well, so that he doesn't have to worry about you."

Hearing the current situation of her father, Fei also showed a gratified smile. Naturally, she couldn't forget to say "thank you"...

"Then these two...uh..." When Peruway introduced the Ghost Twins, his face obviously changed. Naturally, other people may not recognize the identity of the Ghost Twins, but Peruway's family passed down the wind. Sword, the sense of breath is extraordinary, even if the enemy is disfigured, he can still distinguish his identity by breath. Ghost Twins just changed their clothes, of course they can't hide from his perception.

Sensing that her identity was exposed, Nana hugged Riel's left hand simply, "Nana, master's thing!"

Nana was also unambiguous, and immediately hugged Riel's right hand, "Nai Nai, the master's property!"

Ailu became impatient when she saw it, but her left and right hands were gone. After thinking for a long time, she put her head into Riel's chest seriously, and wrapped her arms around Riel's waist, "Ailu, master's baby~"

Riel didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Ah, that's what happened..."

Not counting the rambunctiousness of Ai Lu, little brother Peruwei immediately understood what was going on with the ghost twins, "Well, that's it, well, it can be regarded as an explanation, then, the last one ..."

Since she was introduced at the end of the finale, Shia understood that Sapphire's identity was naturally extraordinary, so she waited quietly.

"...this is"

Chapter One Hundred and Eighteen

Thanks to the book friend "The Last Roman" for rewarding 100000 happy coins, plus more...+10...

Okay, so here is the second update today...

Just now, the computer seems to be out of memory or something. It keeps crashing and restarting. After unplugging the power supply, it can’t even be turned on. After leaving it for an hour, it will be fine by itself. It’s so amazing...

…At first, I thought I couldn’t code because the computer was useless today, but it seems that God doesn’t allow me to owe more, ahem~

Then, the additional update completion progress (2/39), the next is the text, the above~

————————————————————————————————————

"This person's name is Sakilia..."

Little Brother Peruwei finished his sentence, and Xi Ya took the initiative to speak, "Ah, Lord Sagilia? Her Royal Highness Princess of the Kingdom of Borea, is that Lady Sagilia? You can actually see Her Royal Highness with your own eyes. It's really an honor~”

In front of outsiders, Sapphire still looks like a princess, and she immediately pulled out a perfect business smile, "The Kingdom of Borea is also very happy to cooperate with the Bellflower Chamber of Commerce, and I also cooperate with the regional business of Bellflower in the kingdom." The person in charge has several fates, so he is not a stranger~"

"You are too polite..." Shea smiled sweetly, and she couldn't tell whether it was sincerity or business entertainment. After all, it was too easy for a businessman of her rank to cover up her expression.

"There is still much room for improvement in the services provided by our Bellflower, and we will provide you with more excellent services in the future. Therefore, for the business cooperation in the coming year, please take care of your highness the princess~ If you need anything, please You can go to the local business person in charge, and we will provide the best service as soon as possible~”
