"If possible, Buyani~ please don't use the identity of 'sister' next time┉┉"
Buanyani jumped in front and turned around as gracefully as a dancer and said: "Ha~ Is this the way Lord Lelouch thanks others?"
Lelouch smiled bitterly: "It's just that I'm not used to it. ⌒,"
As half-siblings, Nunnally has an extraordinary status in Lelouch's heart, which even Euphemia, her half-sister, cannot match. Lelouch doesn't like others to replace Nunnally's position in his heart. In the original book, after Lelouch learned that the emperor used false memories to let Lolo replace Nunnally, Lelouch wanted to kill Lolo more than once. Luo.
"So Lelouch-dono must have a sister that he loves very much!"
"That's right!" Lelouch replied casually.
Buyani smiled but was quite surprised in her heart. Most dragons determine their status by their own strength. Even brothers and sisters of the same mother will continue to accept this concept after they are born, and fight and compete with each other for this. This is a very normal behavior. In childhood, parents will intervene to calm down the over-the-top fights between these undergrown children, but once the dragons enter adulthood, their parents will not intervene.
The weak deserve to be enslaved, the weak deserve to die, it is normal for the weak to eat the weak and eliminate the weak!
As a descendant of the Crystal Dragon King, Buyani has a deep understanding of the dragon clan's philosophy of respecting the weak and the strong. The inheritance position of the Dragon King can only be given to one person, and several descendants must prove themselves by killing their brothers and sisters in battles. Strength. Only by proving that you have the strength to command the entire clan can you take the position of Dragon King. When Buanyani left Crystal Valley, she could not stand the strange and mocking looks of her compatriots. Secondly, she was probably afraid that she would become the first victim in the struggle for power. After all, he is the weakest among the brothers, so he will naturally become the first target in the eyes of others.
For this reason, Buanyani was surprised that Lelouch loved her sister so much. Logically speaking, the Black Dragon clan is a clan that takes the concept of the jungle to the extreme, the strong will eat the strong. What kind of situation can make Lelouch this The member of the Black Dragon Clan loves his sister so deeply, doesn't he regard his sister as possibly his biggest enemy in the future? Love and protection are not words that should appear in the dragon race at all. The dragon's vocabulary only has power and dominance!
"Sir Lelouch~ Have you had a good relationship with your sister since childhood?"
"Of course! After all, we are brothers and sisters from the same mother. As brothers, we should naturally love our sister." Lelouch said completely disapprovingly.
Buyanyani's face darkened, Chen's eyes flashed with complicated expressions, looking at Lelouch, Buyanyani could not find a trace of disguise on his face. This is completely a feeling that comes from the heart. He really loves his sister.
Lelouch looked at Buyani and asked strangely, "What's wrong? Buyani!"
"Nothing!" Buanyani smiled hurriedly and waved her hand. The girl lowered her head and smiled bitterly: "It's just that I'm a little envious of Lelouch's sister."

The huge airship slowly docked. Most of the passengers on this airship were personnel from various chambers of commerce in the free city. They were in the terminal building of the airship field. Passengers are queuing up to go through customs clearance and baggage inspection. Although there were many people in line, the staff in the terminal were very efficient. There are also some wealthy and well-backed businessmen who have special channels to go through security checks. In fact, in the past, when Alisa came to Free City, she could also take the special channel to enter the city without queuing here. However, now that the situation is special, Alisa cannot use the security check. The privileges of the Stefan family in the free city. The group of people had no choice but to stand in line waiting for inspection.
Lelouch's team stood out among the crowd. From time to time, someone cast their gaze over and started talking to their companions in a low voice. Of course, most of the men's eyes were focused on Buanyani and LeBlanc. As for Gus and Kenjiro, two characters who looked like mercenaries and bodyguards, they were ignored.
"Hey~ when can I get my things back?"
Gus, who was wearing ordinary clothes, looked at the sculpture on the ceiling melancholy. Before boarding the airship in the Golden Spike Territory, all of Gus' equipment was confiscated and locked in the warehouse, especially the huge and conspicuous weapon. The Dragon-Slaying Sword still attracted a large number of tourists to watch at that time. Many people couldn't believe that Gus could really swing this huge two-handed sword that felt so heavy just by looking at it.
"The procedures for handing over the goods are being processed, but we need to rent a warehouse to temporarily store the things." After arriving in the free city, Alisa quickly put her talents into use, and all the procedures were handled by an experienced girl.
"By the way, where is our guy who always likes to be mysterious?"
The mysterious guy in Gus's mouth was naturally Zed. Gus didn't see any trace of Zed along the way, and he even suspected that this guy didn't board the ship with everyone at all, although the leader Lelouch said that he had followed. Instead, Alisa frowned. The man named Zed dressed as an assassin was a person with a peculiar personality. He didn't like to act in public and always preferred to hide in the shadows. Alisa couldn't help but worry whether Zed would want to lurk directly into the Free City. You must know that although the Free City maintains a so-called neutral and open attitude, it also has a set of strict regulations. There are large protective formations outside the city that must be protected from the outside. You can only enter through designated entrance channels or with relevant documents.
There have been several slave uprisings in the free city, but so far no slave has been able to escape from this cage-like city. Even those who were lucky enough to escape to the edge of the city bumped into the magic circle, and were naturally turned into charcoal by the power of the magic circle.
"Don't worry, he's following us."
Lelouch smiled mysteriously, and Buyani, who was also a dragon, also showed a meaningful smile. The girl looked towards a corner of the terminal, and Gus and Kenjiro followed Buyani. Ni looked at the past, but no one noticed Zed except the passengers coming and going.
The customs clearance went smoothly. The documents in everyone's hands were forged and almost the same as the original ones. At the same time, Free City also implemented the concept that money talks. After Alisa slightly manipulated it with thousands of lien, everyone quickly took off. At the airship yard, the cargo was quickly unloaded and loaded into the hired carriage team, and Gus also got back his own complete set of food supplies.
After entering the outer city, Lelouch was able to understand the charm of this commercial city, which can be called the most prosperous commercial city in the mainland, through Alisa's introduction. There were many pedestrians and caravans coming and going on the road, even from the Kingdom of Belrama. The most prosperous Golden Spike Territory in the country seems to be unconvincing in comparison. Along the way, Lelouch and his party were accosted from time to time. However, many merchants became very interested in the precious materials carried by the carriage. Precious thousand-year-old cold wood, high-purity mithril ingots, and a large number of precious herbs can all be purchased in the free city. Sell things for big bucks.
Especially when some experienced businessmen discovered that the leader of this team seemed to be a weak young man who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, they all stepped forward and offered Lelouch a very 'favorable' price in the hope of making a purchase. Naturally, These people were quickly sent away by the equally experienced Alyssa. During this period, the muscular Gus and Kenjiro also acted as an invisible deterrent.
After searching for a temporary hotel and renting a warehouse to store goods, Alisa immediately took Lelouch to the gold exchange as a tour guide to exchange cash. When Lelouch took out a thick gold brick from the space ring, , the waiter who received him was almost blinded by the luster of gold. It wasn't that the waiter was like a country bumpkin who had never seen gold before, but Lelouch took out so many gold bricks in one breath that it almost crushed the entire service desk. In the waiter's previous work, he had never seen anyone take out so many gold bricks at once. Gold is used to trade, and it is still so calm and free. While there was a lot of discussion around, the person in charge of the gold exchange hurried over after learning the news and invited Lelouch into the VIP room.
The experienced staff in the VIP room immediately used a magic device to check the weight and purity of the gold, while Lelouch sat leisurely on the sofa and tasted tea. It wasn't until half an hour later that the staff hurriedly took the inspection report and submitted it. After inspection, the color and purity of the gold were quite good. After weighing, the gold was worth a total of 170 million lien after deducting transaction taxes based on the market price.
"I'll keep you waiting, Lord Lelouch. After our inspection, this batch of gold is worth a total of 170 million Lien. Do I need to make a deposit for you?"
"Savings~ Is there a bank here?" Lelouch, holding the tea cup, blinked and asked in surprise.
The person in charge immediately recommended: "Yes, this exchange also has designated banking services. Do you need to apply for it?"
Alisa hurriedly whispered a few words to Lelouch. Lelouch nodded and replied: "Prepare three million Lien in cash for me. I need it urgently during this time."
"Okay, I'm happy to serve you, Mr. Lelouch. I wish you a pleasant journey in the Free City."
After throwing the suitcase full of cash into the space ring, Lelouch and Alisa walked out of the exchange under the gaze of everyone talking. When they saw the people waiting outside, Lelouch said: "Okay. "It's getting late today. Let's go back to the hotel and take a rest. Everyone must be very tired from the long journey here."
On the way back to the hotel, Crystal Dragon Buyani looked quite envious after learning the transaction amount. After all, most of her wealth was given to the White Dragon King as gifts. Buyani had worked tirelessly not long ago. Make extra money from the mercenaries who break into the misty forest. Alisa inadvertently discovered what Lelouch was writing, and after taking a sneak peek, Alisa discovered that the other person's notebook was written in a language that she could not understand.
"Since there is a banking industry, the financial system should be roughly the same┉┉" Lelouch muttered, opening the curtains and looking at the bustling city outside.
It’s fun~ Just let yourself have this city in your hands! (To be continued...)
