Walking through a dark forest, you can see that people often pass by the avenue under your feet. It has been trampled very hard and has various marks of wheels, horses, shoes, etc.
At this moment, a large caravan was passing through the jungle in a mighty manner. Groups of camel beasts and a large number of guards and entourages stretched into the distance. The reputation of the Elias merchant group was also very large in the Kingdom of Enjido. Yes, they are also doing the largest business, and their business scope covers the entire orc country.
And Lu Zhiyu was riding on a horse at the moment, with Jin Nima on both sides raising his head and squinting his eyes. He felt unexpectedly embarrassed, always feeling that it was laughing at him. Lu Zhiyu didn't expect that he had done it casually, with Jinnima, who was born as a camel beast, has now become a camel beast that is popular in the mainland, and can often be seen even in the orc kingdom.
The caravan left the dark shadows of the trees and finally appeared in the sunlight. Looking down from the hillside, one could see a large city in the distance, which was Primonius, the royal city of Engido.
It was a large ancient capital with an exotic feel. Lu Zhiyu could see people coming and going, gathering on a long river outside the city. There was an endless stream of people waiting in line to enter the city. Countless people rode horses and drove camels. The beast, carrying the flag, walked back and forth outside the city.
In the city, you can see a large number of domed buildings, bell-shaped towers, stone castles and buildings one after another. The closer you get to it, the more you feel its hugeness and grandeur. Standing at its feet, It seems that its city wall stretches to the sky and is connected with the clouds on the horizon.
"Oh, I didn't expect that the country of the orcs also has such a magnificent city." This was Lu Zhiyu's first time coming to Primonius, but he didn't expect that it would be such a magnificent and tall city, not inferior to that of the Kingdom of Light Church. city of saint sal.
Elias followed Lu Zhiyu on horseback: "Of course, the king of the Kingdom of Engido is an ambitious king with a far-sighted vision and a broad mind. He spent decades bringing Engido to the kingdom. The kingdom has developed into what it is now, with its trade being the most prosperous and its army being the most powerful. We once thought he would be the next emperor of the orc kingdom, but it’s a pity!”
Lu Zhiyu asked: "What's the pity?"
Elias pointed to the sky: "It's a pity that he is old and is about to die of old age. He will return to the embrace of God. We are all just mortals. No matter how strong our ambitions are, we cannot withstand fate, birth, old age, illness and death."
Elias has been a businessman since the fall of the Kingdom of Menkaure and lost his position as the consul of Ayr City. At present, it seems that he is developing well, but as he said, he is also old. It is estimated that he will not be able to follow the caravan for a few more times. This time he brought his second son, who will inherit his caravan and title in the future.
After passing through the arch that was suspended by the iron fence, noisy sounds penetrated the ears. There were people coming and going everywhere, not just under the feet, but also on the castle above and the layers of walls and arch bridges. There were people everywhere, on both sides. Soldiers wearing chainmail and erecting spears guarded and maintained order. From time to time, patrol teams could be seen passing through the passage on the left to the passage on the right.
Elias said to the landing fish: "We will repair and purchase here, and we will continue to set off in the morning three days later. You can take a stroll here these two days. Welcome to Primonius, my friend .”
Lu Zhiyu led the horse and took Verdanti around the city. Lu Zhiyu was admiring the customs and architectural style of Primonius, while Verdanti was looking around at some of the new local gadgets and food.
The two of them were carrying a long sword on their backs, and they were both brightly dressed. In this era, those who could afford a good sword were not ordinary people, at least not ordinary poor people and farmers, and those who could afford a complete set of armor were definitely They were knights, and ordinary people didn't dare to cause trouble with them. Of course, with this kind of attire, they could easily be spotted by some thieves.
The city is built on the mountains, and the roads are ups and downs. The walking is not very smooth. Most of the roads are uphill and downhill, which is very energy-consuming. The buildings are also rising and falling. Forming a staggered beauty.
Lu Zhiyu and Verdanti walked around and finally came to the entrance of the palace. They saw a white palace built entirely of marble. There were many soldiers standing outside the city, and there were a large number of archers and archers on the walls. Pikemen on patrol.
There is a notice posted at the entrance of the palace, which depicts the head of an evil dragon. At this moment, many people are watching around, most of them are outsiders, making noisy and talking at the entrance of the palace.
"The price has increased again. Ten thousand golden wolves, the title of baron, and the territory can be chosen at will. This is really a step to the sky!"
"So many people have died. One-armed Dukan is dead, and more than a hundred of his mercenaries have all died at the hands of that evil dragon. Those who uncovered this list will all be gone. Come back."
"Of course, you have to know what you are facing. It's a dragon, the evil dragon Frost."
"Legend has it that it has a body of ten meters high, and its wings can reach twenty meters when you stand up. You can't even reach its elbows. It has scales that cannot be broken by swords, and it can spit out the hell in its breath. Flame can control ice and snow to freeze people into ice sculptures. No one can defeat it. Everyone who sees it has only one fate, and that is death."
"More than a dozen waves of people have gone there, and none of them have come back. They all died in the Amos Icefield and became food for the evil dragon. Every one of them is a famous and strong man. Who dares to go? It's not looking for death. Well, no matter how high the reward is, you have to get it."
Verdanti, who was following Lu Zhiyu, immediately said: "Then why didn't the king send an army to deal with it? Instead, he issued a reward to let others deal with the evil dragon."
Everyone turned around and found out that it was just a kid. There was a sudden voice of contempt: "What does the kid know? The evil dragon can fly. To deal with it, there is no use in large numbers. The king has sent troops and blood knights many times to encircle and suppress the evil dragon. However, this evil dragon was very cunning, and instead of fighting them head-on, it kept sneaking up on them and attacking them along the way, and finally left them all in the Amos Icefield."
Verdanti realized that she had been underestimated and was very unconvinced: "Isn't it just an evil dragon? What's so great about it."
Everyone looked down upon the brat who spoke so loudly: "Tch!"
Lu Zhiyu crossed his arms and stood behind Verdanti: "Go up and help me take it off."
Verdanti suddenly turned back to look at Lu Zhiyu, her eyes filled with stars: "Dad, are you going to take action personally to deal with this evil dragon? Rescue the princess back to the Kingdom of Enjido, just like in the epic story Like a heroic knight."
Lu Zhiyu straightened his spine and looked into the distance, as if he was possessed by a hero at this moment. He snorted arrogantly and disdainfully: "Humph."
Verdanti rushed forward excitedly, grabbed the list, and then turned back to the crowd with excitement and shouted: "Who dares to underestimate us, you cowardly guys, you dare not do what you say, we This time I will let you know what true chivalry is. Dad, we are going to slay the dragon, eh? Dad, where are you?"
Verdanti took off the list and found that the figure originally standing in the crowd had disappeared at this moment, and the soldiers nearby gradually gathered around Verdanti, surrounding Verdanti in the center.
"Hello, sir, His Majesty the King wants to see you!"
Verdanti's face turned pale and she wanted to explain. She stepped back, but found that the way back was blocked. Then she looked left and right and said hesitantly: "It's not that I want to reveal the list. It was just now. Yes, just below. That person asked me to help him uncover it.”
"Whoever reveals the list will make a contract with His Majesty the King. Those who violate the contract will have their heads chopped off and hung on the city top." The soldier's face suddenly became extremely serious and he pointed at the city head. The heads tied to the flagpole were all stained with blood, and their eyes were looking at the ground like dead fish eyes. Verdanti couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
