Chapter 19: Royal capital

At dusk, a young man stood in front of the gate of Barrington City. The evening breeze disturbed his light gray hair. A peculiar golden pendant on his chest shined with charming light, as crystal clear. Black eyes quietly stared at the huge city that looked a little illusory and blurred in the setting sun.
He was silent, standing there quietly, with a straight posture, as if the whole person was in harmony with the world, exuding a unique and peaceful temperament, which attracted the guards at the gate of the city and the people passing by. Look frequently.
　　 Falkenridge’s capital, Barrington, is vast, far from what Castgate can compare, and it is not inferior even to some of the cities in Aylor’s memory.
The architectural styles of many areas appear to be very old, which are very different from the current architectural model. It is the old city that has existed since the beginning of the establishment of the city. Although it has undergone thousands of years of evolution, these buildings are also undergoing continuous development. It is being rebuilt and renovated, but it has more or less retained the same way it was a thousand years ago.
　　 This is the capital of a country, and it is often the most prosperous city in a country.
　　 "My lord, this is the royal capital of Falkenridge, it's so magnificent!"
　　 A slightly shrill voice came from behind Ai Luo.
　　 Before he could answer, another rough voice replied: "Rhodes, hurry up and shut your mouth. It will only embarrass an adult to look like you have never seen the world."
　　 "Hey," the owner of the first voice was obviously unhappy, "It seems you really want me to give you another flame bath?"
　　 "Before you prepare the spell, I will make you change your mind-use this sword!" The second voice was not to be outdone.
　　 "Well, Rhodes, Noyce, you should learn from Carlyle occasionally."
　　 "Spare me, if you want to say less than ten words a day like this little wolf, I will definitely be suffocated."
　　 Ai Luo turned around a little helplessly and looked at the new servants who were arguing.
　　The closest to him is a goblin, dressed as a standard warlock, his skin is light green, his facial features are correct, and his height is higher than the average goblin-this makes him look more in line with human aesthetics than his fellow clan.
　　His name is Rhodes, one of Raja’s tribe.
　　 When in the Icourt Valley, Ai Luo did not, like the other three dragons, never communicated with the goblins. On the contrary, in order to ensure that the goblins can provide themselves with more points of faith, Ai Luo will often put down a little bit.
　　 Although this kind of behavior seems to be outright self-depraved in Hillcart's view, Ailuo must also say that sometimes he can get some unexpected benefits.
　　 Rhodes is a goblin who is gifted with magic that Ai Luo accidentally discovered. In an accident, Ai Luo noticed Rhodes, who was practicing throwing fireballs. Originally, he was very bored and clicked on him a few words. Unexpectedly, when Ai Luo planned to go to Barrington the day before, he discovered that this goblin was already practicing inflammation It's a storm.
　　 Considering that I went to Barrington this time as an aristocrat to inherit the territory, it is absolutely impossible for an aristocrat to travel alone without an entourage. In order to make himself less conspicuous, Ai Luo finally chose Rhodes.
　　 While standing opposite Rhodes, the big human man who stared at the goblin with big eyes was named Noyce. In addition, at the end of the team, there is a young wolf tribe orc carrying a few large packages. He is the Carlyle mentioned by Ai Luo.
　　 Speaking of these two people, I have to mention what happened halfway.
　　 From Icourt Valley to Barrington, there is a total of 700 kilometers between them. Out of the consideration of hiding himself, Ai Luo will of course not directly become a dragon and fly over. Therefore, he could only go with Rhodes, buying a wildebeest from a nearby town and rushing along.
　　 The unicorn horse is a very common mobility mount, which is fast, has good endurance, and is not difficult to raise. However, even at the speed of a wildebeest, it would take at least one day and one night to reach Barrington.
　　On the way, Ai Luo was robbed unsurprisingly, and more than once.
　　 Noyce and Carlyle were the first robbers to rob Aello.
　　 Ai Luo would naturally not make a move. Let alone whether he was worried about the issue of exposure, the huge difference in individual strength between the Dragon Race and other races made him not interested in making a move. On the contrary, Rhodes wanted to perform well in front of the owner, so before Noyce's opening remarks were finished, he blasted over with a fireball.
　　 Although in Ai Luo's eyes, there is no essential difference between the strength and weakness between this new goblin warlock and the two bandits, Rhodes had been instructed by himself anyway, and dealing with the two bandits shouldn't be difficult.
　　 However, the development of things slightly exceeded Ai Luo's expectations: Under Rhodes's almost continuous fireball offensive, Noyce had no chance to get close, and could only dodge and yell in embarrassment. But another robber, the relatively taciturn Carlyle, quickly approached Rhodes with his agility while Noyce had attracted most of his attention.
　　 Seeing that Rhodes was about to be killed by Carlyle's knife, Ai Luo finally decided to take a shot-not strictly speaking, it was just a large flame barrage to demonstrate. After all, Rhodes is considered his own property, it is not enough to lose it in vain.
　　 Anyway, Ai Luo's actions are still very effective. Neither Noyce nor Carlyle are desperadoes, and even if they are desperadoes, after seeing a flame barrage that is ready to go like a tide, there are not many who can maintain their fighting spirit, right?
　　 looked at each other helplessly, and the two bandits chose to surrender at the same time.
　　 "Hey, I have to say, your luck is very bad."
Rhodes, who was almost driven into desperation by Carlyle, repeated these words almost at every turn during the next journey. It can be seen that he was very concerned about his almost disastrous defeat in the first battle, so that he would continue to learn from the real loser. Find a sense of accomplishment.
　　 Yes, Ai Luo didn't kill them, but took the initiative to recruit them. And Noyce and Carlyle are not characters who would rather die than surrender. After seeing the food and gold coins that Ai Luo took out, the two decisively agreed.
　　 This is of course caused by the nature of the dragon clan. Although Ailuo didn’t say anything, he really enjoyed the feeling of being hugged by people. If it weren’t for his own goblin, only Rhodes’ combat power could barely be seen, and the three dragons could not be brought out, so he wouldn’t just bring it. A poor entourage is traveling!
　　 Besides, they can drive Rhodes into a desperate situation, these two robbers can be considered a little capable.
　　 More importantly, Ailuo has already planned to develop some of his own forces in Falkenridge-Falkenridge's main race is humans. He can't let a goblin manage a group of humans, right?
　　 At least not yet.
　　 Ai Luo also noticed in the previous battle, although Carlyle's strength is definitely above Noyce, but the latter is the leader, which may indicate that Noyce has some leadership skills.
　　 Even if Noyce can actually lead only one person, it doesn’t matter, the power he can get on the face is so little that he can only use it temporarily...
　　Along the way, Aylor also learned something about Noyce and Carlyle. They were also victims of this chaotic country. Noyce was originally a squad leader, because he couldn't understand the domineering and oppressive superiors, he missed and killed his superiors in an unbearable quarrel, and had to flee in a hurry.
　　 And Carlyle was actually a sailor from the Eastern Continent. He later joined a sea caravan and wandered around. He had been trained as a monk, so he was one of the best in a hundred. But this time the caravan was raided by pirates, and Carlyle escaped as the only survivor. After losing everything, he could only try to make a living in the Western Continent.
　　On the way to escape, Noyce rescued Carlyle who was hungry and cold, while Carlyle, who had always been silent and introverted, was moved by Noyce's righteousness. So the two discussed and decided to fall into the trap, first make a sum of money and then think of other ways.
　　 This is also the reason why they were so easily subdued by Ai Luo: If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't live, how many people in UU reading www.uukanshu.com are really willing to be robbers?
　　 "If I remember correctly, my house is on Falkenridge Street in Uptown."
　　 Ai Luo remembered that Bella mentioned in the letter that she first bought herself a house as a residence in the royal capital. When you arrive in the royal capital, you just have to wait in that house. Bella will tell herself when to meet the king later.
　　 Thinking of this, Ai Luo flicked the map in his hand and pointed to a location marked on it.
　　 "I can finally settle down..."
　　 Noyce sighed, even the silent Carlyle had a trace of melancholy in his eyes.
　　The wandering life has been so long, they almost forgot the last time they could sleep peacefully.
　　 Although Rhodes has also experienced escape, he at least acted with a large group of partners, and his experience in this aspect is naturally not as deep as the two poor people.
　　 "Take a good rest tonight, I think soon...you will be busy."
　　 Ai Luo nodded to the three entourages, and took the lead in walking ahead, and the three of them hurriedly followed.
　　 In this way, under the setting sun that is sinking to the horizon, the handsome and indifferent human teenager, the respectful goblin warlock, the burly middle-aged man, and the silent and firm young werewolf quickly merged into the crowd of the royal capital.
These four faces did not arouse any curiosity among the residents of the royal capital. Although the master and servant combination of humans, goblins, and orcs is not common, this is the royal capital, the center of the entire country, and you can see all kinds of things almost every day. stranger.
　　 Besides, compared with strangers, residents here should worry more about people who already live in the capital.
　　 You know, Barrington, the capital of the king after nightfall, has the title of "Sin City"!
