Royal Capital Black Fire Palace
Garen sat on his palace lord's throne, carefully playing with the green vine ball in his hand.
The little thing was like a small animal, crawling from his left hand to his left shoulder. After he grabbed it and put it on the back of his hand, it began to climb up the left shoulder persistently.
Garen grabbed it down casually one after another, watching it keep climbing up.
Ephesus stood behind the throne, leaning quietly on a black column with her sword in both hands. Watching Garen playing with the green vine ball in boredom.
"The second noble council is about to start, won't you go?"
Garen smiled.
"How was the first time? I don't hear any funny things happening anymore."
Ephesus closed her eyes and recovered.
"Just some boring stuff."
Garen carefully sensed the green vine ball and said casually. "The people who participate in this great council of nobles can have everything. Anyone who is a middle-level noble or above is fine. There are so many people talking, what good ideas can they talk about?"
Among the nobles are the middle-class nobles. These people are the backbone of various departments and units, and they are also the main members of the noble class. They like to compare, love vanity, and cling to power. At this time, it is estimated that the most noisy part is the division of the imperial capital's land resources.
Garen could imagine what the scene was like if he didn't go.
"This time is different, it is the real situation that determines the imperial capital." Aphesis said lightly.
"We occupy the palace, who dares to say anything?" Garen said lazily, "Forget it, let's go and see what those old guys have to say."
He's got enough stuff, and the Wang family's treasury is still under his control, and a large number of weapons and equipment, resources and treasures are constantly being moved out of it.
But the most important thing was not seen at all. That is the secret treasure!
What made Garen suspicious was that there was not a single secret treasure found in the entire Wang family's treasure house. This is not in line with common sense.
The only possibility is that the royal family must have another hidden treasure house. This is where the real treasure is stored.
"I won't go, I'm at a critical moment now." Aphesis said behind him.
Garen didn't care about him. Although Ephesus was transformed into a dragon demon by him, if he forced to control the opponent at will, he might lose his potential to advance.
Walking out of the palace and heading towards the House, heavy guards of the Black Fire walked out from the corners of the Black Fire Palace.
These guards seem to have stepped out of the dense clumps of grass, from the shadows.
Garen walked through the flowers in the garden, and suddenly countless green plants grew wildly, tangled and entangled, and quickly condensed into a human shape, and his body quickly formed pieces of hard black heavy armor like fruit.
In less than a few minutes, the plants in the flowers grew into a brand new Blackflame Guard, keeping up with Garon's footsteps.
Garen held the green vine ball in his hand, and he had thoroughly understood the origin of the formation of the Blackflame Heavy Guard.
That is, the daughter body of the green vine ball through the collection of plants. They need a plant called Verde flower, and they can condense the black fire guard by giving birth to the rhizome of this plant.
The whole body of the Blackfire Guards was covered by armor, and they couldn't see inside, so no one knew that the inside of their armor was not human beings, but clusters of plants.
The green vine ball can only generate a fixed number of 200 black fire guards, four of the three types are the so-called four guards, and the rest are all type two. The disadvantage is that the strength of the single body is a little weak, and the advantage is that it is not afraid of life and death anytime and anywhere, and the power of self-explosion is powerful.
Garen almost used up all the Verde flowers in the Black Fire Palace to barely replenish the number of all Black Fire Guards.
At the same time, he also asked his servants to plant more Verde flowers, which were spawned by special means. It only takes two months for a Verde flower to bloom and grow vines all over the place. However, only ten plants are needed to form a Black Phobo.
In addition to the Black Fire Guards sent out, the Black Fire Guards recreated by Garen in the Black Fire Palace consisted of more than a hundred people, and they were divided into various parts of the palace to assist the guards of the Silver Palace.
The royal guards of the Silver Palace are not the royal guards they claim to be, but the real internal guards who are all composed of totem masters.
Royal guards like cousin Hathaway are just peripheral members, and they are not qualified to get involved in real events.
***************
Imperial Trade Zone
Royal Coliseum
This huge black building, which is as large as a football field, stands on the east side of the imperial capital. It looks like a giant ship, with the black and red flag of Kuwaitan standing in front of it.
The square outside the theater was already full of dense crowds.
Three of these areas are particularly eye-catching.
Three groups of people in military uniforms stood together. Their military uniforms were white, black, and dark blue. It is the three major legions under the empire, the Eagle of Dawn, the third heavy armor regiment, and the last dark blue flag.
These three major armies are the main forces responsible for defending the Western Agricultural Law defense line. Now that their people have returned to the imperial capital, their intentions are quite interesting.
The rest of the space is full of nobles and nobles from all over the place.
Carriages arrived one after another, and occasionally a totem beast like a giant bird landed slowly.
When Garen arrived with the Black Fireguard, it was already afternoon and the sky was dark.
In front of the theatre, a tall monster with four heads and long legs appeared, and four bright braziers were set up on its back.
These four monsters look like black buffaloes, but compared with ordinary buffaloes, their four legs are too tall. It is more than ten meters high. It looked very weird.
"Whose totem beast is that?" Garen asked curiously, a white-haired aristocratic woman leading the way.
"Return to the palace lord, it is the ornamental mutant beast of Earl Islay, the original owner of the theater. It is not a totem." The white-haired young woman replied in a low voice.
"Oh? Mutant beast?" Garen felt that mutations had increasingly affected the lives of the entire world.
A group of people walked onto the square, and the nobles who were still talking all around stopped talking and walked towards this side.
Some of them bent down to salute, some showed vigilance in their eyes, and some showed curiosity. But they all gave way to a passable road.
Garen walked among the crowd, followed by four Black Flame heavy guards. Behind him, the black cloak of the Palace Master of Black Fire kept flapping, making a crackling sound.
In front of the arched white gate of the theater, Vesga and the two grand dukes were chatting with each other.
"The Lord of the Black Fire Palace has arrived!!"
The herald roared loudly.
The three of them stopped talking immediately and looked towards Garen.
Wisgar's face was expressionless, and the somewhat fat Grand Duke Cody looked indifferent, and just nodded to Garen.
Only the Grand Duke of Bainock, the tall, thin, white-haired old man smiled at Garen in a friendly manner.
Garen also smiled back.
There were no guards around the three of them, and a small area was directly vacated.
When Garen walked over with the Black Fire Guard, his footsteps suddenly stopped.
An extremely powerful thrust is coming from the front. This thrust was so strong that even Garen's Nine-headed Dragon, known for its strength, paused slightly.
A look of surprise appeared on his face, and he glanced around.
No one around was within ten meters of the three of them, as if there was an invisible force field of terror that isolated a certain range around the three of them.
The noble who led the way had stopped respectfully and stood with his head bowed on the right side.
"The area in front of us is not accessible to us, please enter the Palace Master by yourself."
"interesting."
Garen licked his lips. There was a flash of red light on his face.
Boom!
He stepped forward abruptly with one foot, squeezing into the force field gathered by the three of them as if inlaid.
The three marks between the eyebrows became more and more blood red.
Garen took two steps in a row, and walked towards the three of them as if he was not blocked by anything.
The surrounding force field suddenly spread out, which was an admission that his strength was qualified to enter their circle.
The four Blackflame heavy guards were unable to enter and could only wait outside.
"Welcome." Bai Nuoke, as the number one powerhouse in the imperial capital, was mysterious and took the lead in showing a friendly attitude towards Garen.
"Grand Duke Bainock, I've heard of your reputation from Bailan a long time ago. When we first met, I'm Garon, Garon Terry Jones." Garen pressed his chest with one hand and made a junior salute.
"Not bad!" Bai Nuoke nodded and laughed, "Let me introduce you. This is Cody, Grand Duke Cody." He patted the short and fat old man on the side. It seems that the relationship between the two is relatively close. casual.
"As for Wisgar on the other side, you must have seen it a long time ago."
"That's natural." Garen looked at Veska. The latter nodded lightly and didn't say much.
"Now that everyone is here, let's start." Bai Nuoke clapped his hands and gave a few instructions to the herald at the side. "Come on, everyone go in."
He was the first to turn and walk into the theater.
"The second meeting of the Great Council of Nobles officially begins!!"
Accompanied by the shout of the herald, the three of Garen walked into the theater, followed by ordinary high-ranking nobles. There were sixteen people in total, half of them were relatives of the two Grand Dukes. The rest are representatives of the power of the Imperial Capital Academy, as well as ministers of some important institutions, such as the Minister of Military Affairs, Minister of Agriculture, Minister of Finance and so on. These people still had the right to speak when Aiweik was alive, but at such a critical moment, without sufficient strength, they could only become the first level of Bigaron and others.
Then there are large groups of middle-level nobles. These people are representatives of various big and small families. Some of them took advantage of the chaos to occupy a certain territory and interests. Family business.
Others are victims and want to rely on the power of the Grand Council to avenge themselves.
There are also people who come to wait and see the situation to decide the next direction and camp. The rest are people with various intentions.
When the mid-level nobleman walked in, the entire empty theater became much more lively, buzzing like countless flies were constantly flying.
At the top of the theater, someone had already moved a row of seats. There are eight positions in total. Facing the hundreds of seats below, it is high above. There are guards in dark gold armor guarding around.
Garen noticed something else at this time.
At the four corners of the black ceiling of the theater, there are four dark stone sculptures of bat gargoyles.
The four gargoyles, with blood-red eyes, quietly curled up at the four corners, looked like ordinary decorative sculptures, but in fact there was a hint of mysterious fluctuation in the air.
Garen withdrew his eyes, but just in time to see the Grand Duke of Bainock smiling at him.
This tall and thin old man had pale skin, a straight nose, a cross scar on his forehead, and a slightly ferocious smile.
Obviously, he also saw that Garen had discovered the layout here.
This time the Great Council was proposed by him, and naturally these arrangements were also set up by him.
