Chapter 404: Ducal Palace

The right one can save the most time, and Luo Benzhong is a personal source again and again※
　　 again asked Sasha and the others to protect the queen. www.. and tried his best to help her complete the collection of dark elves, Robben remembered the coordinates of the space gate set in the square again. Did you leave Moonlight City just after Skynet was released?
　　 Following the guidance of the soul of the oak tree. Robben came to the edge of the elven forest without any effort, and smoothly passed through the huge tree wall at the edge of the forest. Robben once again returned to the human world.
　　 Although it is half a month. But Robben didn't dare to delay any more. Yesterday, the elves and the elders and the elders brought the clansmen to petition the Queen, but Robben couldn't guarantee that anything would happen in Moonlight City in the next time. The new change [Dzi Bead Change], flying straight up the clouds all the way. Without any hindrance, after distinguishing the direction, Robben headed north all the way. Go straight to the Caton Empire.
　　 Generally speaking, there is nothing above the clouds. Even the airship that shuttles across the continent. In most cases, it will not fly up to the clouds, because the higher the altitude, the more difficult it will be to fly the airship. In order to save time and cost, half of the airship will be at low altitude. Even if you don’t hit something at the lowest safe altitude, you can only venture to the top of the clouds if you encounter some uncontrollable conditions, such as a storm, but you cannot make a forced landing for some reason.
Robben flew hurriedly all the way, and encountered some beasts on the way. Among them, there was one with an unusually big head. Robben couldn't understand how such a big thing flew in the sky with four thin wings. , It should be the reason of magic.
Although Robben still doesn't know much about this continent, or is directly speaking, he is no longer the former cabbage. The necklace of Xiuma has been damaged, but Robben still Take it with you. However, the original effect has been completely lost. But now Robben, relying on his sensitive psychology and precise element control, can already do some simple communication with these magical creatures entirely on his own. After this trip to the Elf Forest, Robben felt that his ability had been improved to a certain extent, and even Robben tried to have a simple conversation with the flying behemoth with a head full of mammoths. Then, it turned out that Robben found that this big man is actually a vegetarian. I really don't know how much grass and leaves he eats a day...
　　 No words all the way, Robben flew northward. Under the full expansion, it only took more than a day to see the border of the Caton Empire, although Robben had not noticed the fief given to him by the second prince. But I also found its location on the map. This fief is in the south of the empire. The climate is very warm. Although I don't want the four seasons of the Elf Forest to Changchun, but it is not too cold, presumably it is not very difficult for the dark elves to settle here.
　　 After arriving in the empire, Robben had to fall from mid-air. Although he knew the general direction, Robben didn't know how his fief should go. If he didn't inquire clearly, he might not know where he was.
　　 directly looked for a city without even reading the name of the city. Robben directly put on the robe of the Great Mage he had never worn in midair. After the dual processing of water and fire, the deep folds squeezed on the magician's robe are completely gone, and Robben walked into the city with a swagger?
　　 Magician is a very noble existence, this city does not seem to be very large, maybe the highest-level magician is just a five-star master.
　　 At the gate of the city, then, the captain of the guard answered Robben's question in fear. After Robben asked the way, he didn't say much, and a blue light rushed into the sky.
　　\"I was scared to death. I could actually see other great magicians. I thought I was going to be unlucky today. Yesterday it was said that the Great Thunder of the Wizards Guild had scolded the city lord.
　　 The captain of the guard looked at Robben, who was about to disappear into the sky. Fortunately, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
　　\"Head! The gold coins he gave you, are they real?"
　　\"Nonsense! What the great magician gave can be fake!"
　　 As he said, the captain of the guard took up a gold coin in his hand and looked at it with joy. \"Hey? There are so many scratches and wear on this gold coin? It seems to be underweight."
　　 Heading all the way north, Robben stopped to find the city to determine the route when he felt that he was about to deviate from the route. Although Robben's flight was very fast, he would stop and go in this way, and overall it was much slower.
　　 At dusk the next day after leaving the Elf Forest, Robben arrived at the destination of this trip. Your own fiefdom in the empire\"Santis Province? 　　 This is a small province. When the empire was first established, it was not the territory of the empire. It was also after the empire's expansion. The land of the Kingdom was included in the territory, but because of its poor soil, changeable climate, and full of mountains and hills, it has never received much attention from the empire. The lords are basically called roles. Even the high officials who were released from the imperial capital by Liu, Later, a large number of metal deposits appeared on this land, and this addictive land became a hot cornucopia overnight.
　　 The province of Santis is also called Santis City. It is said that this was the name of the landlord hundreds of years ago, because the empire suffered an unprecedented drought that year, and large tracts of land were not harvested, and the poor soil in the province of Santis did not have any. The food survived. As a result,...Pin orchid, hungry and shining everywhere, changing children to eat, facing a large area of ​​famine, fearing for years...The imperial treasury was empty, and there was no enough food and wealth to alleviate the disaster.
At this time, the lord of Santis Province took out the wealth he had accumulated over the years, and almost moved his mansion completely, and bought a large amount of food from the Vail Alliance across the Parker Snow Mountain, which relieved the situation. In that year, although the Santis province was the most severely affected province, the number of people who died of starvation was the least in the entire empire. In the second year, the drought eased and the land was located in the south. Santis province can harvest two seasons a year, when the first grain is harvested. The people are grateful to Lord Santis for his life-saving grace. It is said that at that time, they took out half of their little harvest and sent them back to the lord’s mansion. The grain was piled up around the lord's mansion, even higher than the wall of the lord's mansion, it was magnificent from a distance. And it seems that Lord Santis’s good deeds moved the gods. In the autumn of this year, the people who reclaimed the wilderness found a barren mountain that seemed to contain minerals, and from this, the prosperity of Santis Province began. province.
　　 Also in that year, the old lord was very old and could not afford to be sick in the winter, and soon passed away. The old lord’s son inherited his father’s title, and the empire rewarded the old lord for his actions. Regarding the move of nearly a million people in the province of Santis to jointly request the rename of the province’s government, they agreed without hesitation. At that time, the Emperor Caton also realized that the continuous battles had consumed too much of the empire. The foundation is already unstable. As a symbolic act to start to accumulate national power and encourage all lords to actively display the power of the people, the emperor directly ordered that not only the name of the mansion was changed, even the name of this province was named after the old lord.
　　 And this is also the case. The son of the old lord received special favor from the emperor. Plus he is young and promising. The title of nobility in the empire is constantly rising. In recent years, the old lord’s family has become one of the few big families in the empire, and even sat on the seat of the empire’s grand duke, but it is a pity that this family that started with love for the people and loyalty ended up in the struggle for royal power. In order to lose the victim, the second prince used extremely harsh methods to slaughter this entrenched family in the empire for hundreds of years, and almost slaughtered it, leaving only a few small fish and small shrimps that could not be turned back to this place. It is the land of their ancestors, and the title cannot be inherited. In a hundred years, this family will completely disappear from the empire.
　　 In the city of Santis, there was a downturn, and Robben asked about the location of the Duke's mansion all the way. Every time, the person who answered him seemed weak. Robben felt that this place was as lifeless as in mourning.
　　 But luckily, I asked the way and turned a few turns. When the lights began to light up in Santis City, Robben was in the middle of an unusually wide street. Robben saw an unusually imposing mansion. On the two vermilion doors, a piece of pure gold is on the edge. Engraved with three characters: Ducal Mansion.
　　 Luo Ben sighed in his heart. In the end, it was an imperial official. Compared with the huge castle in the city of Sol, it seemed full of wealth. But here, there is a slight sense of oppression. Even the guards at the door are fully armored and their weapons are gleaming.
　　 Not surprisingly, Robben stopped by the guard at the door, and after Robben took out his Duke's seal, the two guards were almost not scared to death",
The captain of the guard who 　　wei had ran to the house in a panic, Robben was being led by one of the guards and walking slowly behind him.
　　 Looking at this cheap mansion. Robben frowned slightly. The ducal mansion was full of a solemn taste. Although it was very light, Robben could still feel it from the details of the layout of the scenery. Some of the exquisite decorations are rough. On the whole, everything is simple and practical. Those are useless and purely show off. In the mansion of this empire's high-ranking official, I can't see it, and even the one who guides myself is not a servant, but a fully armed. Soldiers in armor.
　　 Robben walked, while the guard who wanted to lead him inquired about the situation, \"When did Madam come here?"
　　\"My lord, madam arrived here six days ago. The house is now being reorganized."
\"Ok!"
　　Roben nodded. Six days ago, it wasn't too slow. Anyway, as long as you get here safely.
　　 As the soldier passed through several halls, Robben's eyes lit up, and in front of him there appeared a simple and simple hall covering an extremely large area. On the door of the room, a plaque was written with three big characters: Zhen Guodian.
　　 Robben blinked, but he didn't expect to write such a thing. According to Robben's original thought, this place of home. At least what should be more kind. Or a name that means blessing.
　　Before this hall, it was a large martial arts field with bluestone paved floor. There are many bonfires around the martial arts field, but now most of them are extinguished, and only a few places are lit sporadically on the four corners for lighting.
　　Roben was looking around curiously, but he heard a rush of footsteps in his ears. At the main entrance of the hall, a figure hurried out.
　　 It seemed that because of running too fast, I didn't know what tripped under his feet. The figure exclaimed, and his body leaped forward directly.
　　 Robben smiled wryly, his body turned into a stream of light. Go straight through the martial arts field. Came between the silhouettes in an instant, spreading his arms. He held the figure who was about to fall in his arms.
　　\"I'm such a big person, Pin Yun will fall, how can you rest assured that I will leave you alone in the public!※
　　 The man in Robben's arms was long chestnut, and there was a faint mist floating in his eyes looking at Robben. There is no one else except Metz.
　　\"Roben! You are back"
　　 It seems that I still want to speak more naturally, but there is a bit of choking in the voice, and a slight tremor, finally. Mace still hugged Robben tightly, and began to cry with sobs.　　 Robben was in a hurry, \"How Mace? Why are you crying?"
　　 Mays buried his head on Robben's chest, shook his head slightly, didn't speak, just whimpered softly.
　　 After all, Robben finally lifted Mace's head. \"Mace! What's wrong? Did something happen? What about Maomao? Isn't it by your side?"
　　 Robben said, while looking up and down Mace. Between Mays's face was pear blossomed with rain, and his eyes were slightly red, but there was nothing unusual on his body.
　　 Seeing Robben's nervousness, Maes touched the tears on his face and suddenly laughed.
　　 reached out and poked Robben’s forehead, and Metz smiled and said, "What are you doing so nervously? I didn't say anything about it."
　　Roben was puzzled, \"Then you saw me crying, why did you want to scare me to death?" Seeing Metz burst into laughter, Robben breathed a sigh of relief.
　　 Mays pursed his lips, stretched out his arms and directly clung to Robben’s neck, \"Are you worried about me?"
Robben looked at Metz helplessly, "Of course, please don't cry as soon as you see me next time. I thought I haven't seen you in the past few days. Something happened to you here. My heart is not so strong. what."
　　 Looking at Robben's expression, Maes chuckled, tightened his arms, and put his head and chin on Robben's shoulders, Maes rubbed Robben's face. \"I just missed you. I was eating just now. When I was thinking of you, suddenly a guard said that a dumb man who claimed to be a Duke and carried the Duke's seal, I guess it was you!"
　　 Robben smiled bitterly, \"I'm not so stupid, right."
\"Ok?"
　　 Robben frowned, Mace raised his head and stared at himself suddenly. Without speaking, Robben couldn't figure it out for a while, \"Mayes, what are you looking at me doing like this?"
　　 Biting his lip, Mace's eyes flickered, "Nothing, kiss me."
　　 Robben looked around, \"Here, forget it!"
Before 　　 the main hall, after the martial arts field, there are many soldiers standing guard around.
　　\"No! Give me a kiss!" Mayes urged.
　　Roben was somewhat puzzled, although Metz used to be very gentle to himself when there was no one. But it won't be as tiring as it is now, and the separation time this time is not long. But I don't know if it is my own illusion. Robben felt that Metz had changed slightly [Dzi Bead].
　　 lightly pecked Mace's lips, before Mace's tongue came out. Robben had retreated, and Maes immediately stared at Robben with some dissatisfaction.
　　\"Okay! Don’t let people watch you here, let’s go in first, are you eating? I happened to not eat, I was grunting hungry."
　　 On the one hand, Robben dragged the Mace hanging on his body towards the hall.
　　 Two people disappeared at the entrance of the hall. The guard guarding outside couldn't help but start talking in a low voice, \"That, is the new Lord Duke?"
　　\"Can’t be wrong, the brother at the door said that he carried the official seal of the duke, and his appearance was the same as that described by the lady, and. You didn’t miss the lady’s actions."
　　\"To say, I didn't expect that Madam really did not expect the Lord Duke."
　　\"I did not expect it, and how can the Duke be a magician? Look at his level just now, it seems that his level is not low!"
　　\"Yes! Why is the Lord Duke a magician? This seems to be different from the tradition. The magician does not have so much time to manage military affairs. In that case"
　　\"Shut up! Talking about the duke and the lady in private, you don’t want to live anymore!"
　　 The two guards were discussing in full swing, and the other guard couldn't listen to it~EbookFREE.me~ with a low drink. The two guards suddenly realized that they were curious for a while, but they had violated the taboo, and looked at no one left. Only then did he smile at the guard who reminded him vocally, and said nothing.
　　 Robben stared at the scene in front of him dumbfounded.
From the outside, the town hall occupies a large area, and there should be many rooms inside, and when Robben enters the gate, he is stunned, and there is a big imaginary lobby in front of him. Go, empty and empty, the area of ​​such a lobby almost accounts for almost half of the entire town hall.
　　 It’s just that, in this imaginary lobby, there is nothing but a few thick pillars supporting the roof. It swept across, and there were only four walls. There are bluestone slabs on the ground, but some places seem to have been damaged and have not been repaired for some reason.
　　 I placed it in the center of the lobby, and rushed several layers of carpets. There was a small square table on it. There were some food on the table. Once a bit, chubby things were rolling around on the table, no need to ask. That's Maomao.
　　Roben stammered and asked: \"This place has not been ransacked by bandits!"
　　 Mace was tired of Robben's side, and looked around. \"No! It is not the pirates who ransacked here, but the officers and soldiers."
　　 That's not the same
