Gronn did not try to resist, although in this way, once he was taken into Montenegro, he would undoubtedly lose all hope of escaping back to Ebb Harbor, and may even lose his freedom completely. But Goron is willing to pay such a price, because similarly, this is his only chance to get clues about his family.
The magician who accompanied the army cast a levitation spell on the ogre Chopper, and then several knights tied ropes to Chopper's hands and feet and dragged him up like a kite. As for Goron's treatment, of course it won't be so bad. One knight specifically gave his horse to him, and he rode with another knight. However, several knights still surrounded Gron in the center, leaving him no chance to escape.
The group of people returned to Montenegro, the imperial capital. When they passed through the nearly 100-meter-high steel city gate, Goron, a country bumpkin from a "remote countryside", was naturally shocked...
Looking up at the sky, it was already night. The most majestic city in the mainland, the grandeur and majesty of the Black Mountain Royal City is like a standing ancient giant, giving people a strong sense of oppression. Surrounding the city wall that is more than 100 meters high, a lookout fort with strong walls stands almost every 30 meters. Heavy crossbows, artillery, magic cannons, trebuchets... Various positional defense weapons that Gronn could name and name were placed on them in a dazzling array, spaced apart at a certain ratio, bringing the entire Black Mountain into its range. Within the scope. As the most powerful city in the mainland, Montenegro is fully worthy of its unique and lofty status, at least in terms of hardware.
The city itself is a wonder. As far as the eye can see, Montenegro Castle is built on the mountain and rises from the foot of the mountain. The main city tower has surpassed the mountain itself. Around the main city, at the foot of the mountain. There are countless houses and buildings located like satellites, which are mainly the residences of civilians. The planning is messy, but the architectural styles are diverse. Dome brick houses, pointed towers, and even tents used by northern nomads. There are many kinds of buildings here, and the styles are endless. It seems that the civilization of the entire continent can be found here. the epitome of. When walking through a street, Goron even saw a romantic place like Old Street being operated. The streets are dotted with small and medium-sized fountains and cultural squares in various shapes, and each street scene has its own unique style.
The whole city is like a city that never sleeps, with lights of all colors almost lighting up the increasingly dark night sky. as the capital of the empire. Pedestrians coming and going on the street are all well-dressed and elegant, showing the prosperity of the city. But Gron's keen eyes saw pairs of eyes hidden in the darkness in the darkest corners of the street. Some of those eyes were full of anger, some were full of despair, but most of them were still numb. He is numb to fate, life, and everything, like a walking corpse.
Perhaps, these talents are the most realistic portrayal of the imperial capital...
A city of decay and decadence.
Gronn followed the cavalry across the road. Sometimes he would knock over civilian vendors who were trying to avoid him, and then kick them away after insulting them. But he would also often give way to some big shots and their convoys from a distance, with natural and skillful movements. This is an extremely hierarchical and cruel place. Goron thought this in his heart.
The cavalry did not return to the imperial capital police station, but went straight to the upper residential area inside the city wall. Just like everything else in the Imperial Capital, the residential area is also the best sign to distinguish the status of the residents of the Imperial Capital and their noble bloodline. A city wall neatly separates Lord Bahrain's residence from the civilian area. It's like two unrelated worlds. But his luxurious house covering an area of nearly a thousand square meters is also far away from the villas on the mountainside that are more exquisitely decorated and several times more spectacular.
Marching behind Bahrain. Gron was very obedient and didn't say a word. He was just observing silently. The result was quite gratifying to him. Although there were many magic mechanisms arranged inside this building, most of them were for the purpose of adjusting the temperature environment, controlling the fountain lights, etc. to create a more comfortable living environment. They were purely for pure enjoyment. It was scary. Fortunately there aren't many dangerous magic traps. Although there were many guards and slaves, Goron did not find any real strong people among them. Most of them were just ordinary second- and third-level warriors. Although they are quite sufficient in most situations, they are not enough to make people more powerful. Gronn felt mortally threatened. Even without using the power of transforming into a man-eating King Kong, Gronn is confident that he can rush out when the worst happens.
"Sir, what should I do with this ogre?"
Balin turned to look at Chopper, who was still unconscious, waved his hand casually and said: "Lock this monster into the dungeon first, and find a slave doctor to come and take a look. I want to know if this guy can still step on the monster." The arena, this determines its value, don’t waste my time, get it done right away!”
The subordinate knights ran out immediately after receiving the order, and Goron breathed a sigh of relief. No one knew Chopper's situation better than him, an ogre shaman with healing magic. After getting rid of the influence of the abyss miasma, Chopper is now just weak and unconscious and needs to rest for some time. However, the "Monster Arena" mentioned by Bahrain caught Goron's attention. Of course he knew how subhumans like them were treated after being reduced to human slaves. The young and beautiful ones would become playthings in the hands of the great nobles. Those who work will be sent to the mines, and most of the powerful and warlike adult sub-races such as ogres, tauren, giant orcs will be sent to the gladiatorial arena, where they will fight to the death. until.
Goron vaguely remembered that Cameron, the slave trader who had taken refuge in him, once mentioned that he suspected that his tribesmen abducted by the fairy tale circus had become war slaves in the arena, and his only brother and sister, both The head ogre Hakulili is probably among them. Goron's feelings for Hakulili are no weaker than his deep love for his mother, the giant demon Rafana, but compared to Hakulili, who has outstanding fighting talents and has the dual combat duties of warrior and shaman, The giant demon Rafana, who usually only knows how to act coquettishly and cutely towards her son, and seems to have no special qualities except being pretty, is obviously even more worrying.
After arranging the ogres, Bahrain turned his attention to Goron. He did not have the special preference of Baron Kulahan. For Goron, he simply admired it, just like looking at something that could It is like an artistic treasure that brings you huge wealth.
Being stared at like this, Gron felt a little helpless and awkward, but he also keenly discovered that there seemed to be a strange worry hidden in the look on Bahrain's face. His lips moved slightly, and Gron moved inside his body. The strange power was concentrated behind his ears, and he finally vaguely discerned that he seemed to be repeating the same sentence in a low voice: "It's so similar, it's so similar. If this child is really related to that big shot, If I am not careful, I will be in danger. I...it would be better to break off the relationship with this child as soon as possible. "
Balin looked at Goron and didn't say a word for several minutes. Gronn also lowered his head, thinking about his own thoughts like Bahrain. After a while, Balin finally said: "I will arrange for the maid to take you to freshen up and change your clothes. You can go down first."
Goron obediently followed the maid summoned by Bahrain. He vaguely heard the footsteps of Bahrain leaving. Goron guessed that he was probably going to find the Baron Kulahan who was very interested in him. Although that person is disgusting and troublesome, it may also be an opportunity for him.
"Oh my god! Where did Mr. Bahrain pick up this child? A slum? Or a garbage dump? He is really dirty..."
Several maids walked in front and muttered, but their voices were so loud that they didn't care that Goron could hear them. Their arrogant expressions did not hide their sarcasm and contempt for Goron. Obviously, as slaves of noble families, they are as devoid of dignity as pigs and dogs in front of their masters, but they have long been accustomed to seeing themselves as higher than those real commoners. Gronn wandered in the maze abyss for a long time, and then transformed into a man-eating King Kong for a series of battles. The clothes on his body were already in tatters, and with a thick layer of blood and dirt on his face, a vulgar person without true vision would Where can I see his true nature.
Goron was not interested in wasting time with these talkative maids. He pretended not to hear anything. After arriving at the indoor bathing room about the size of a swimming pool, Goron calmly dealt with it and allowed these maids to serve him, even with his fingers. You don't even have to move to watch them wash away all the dirt and dirt on them, carefully cleaning every inch of their skin.
These maids originally planned to watch Gron's bewildered and shy face, and their actions were quite bold and provocative. This is also one of the few ways for them to vent their emotions. But how do they know that as the Lord of the Old Street and the boss behind the newly established super-large dark organization "Black City" in Luochao Port, Goron has not experienced any kind of luxury and enjoyment, and has not seen any kind of charming and beautiful women? In order to please Gron, the girls in the old street went out of their way to play with him. How could Gron notice the dirty tricks of the maids in front of him? He didn't even notice the maids. Their slightly outrageous little moves.
After washing away all the dust, Gronn finally returned to his "original appearance". I don't know how long the old troll's humanization potion will be effective. Apart from the man-eating King Kong form, Gronn can only maintain his current appearance... a beautiful appearance. Beautiful boy.
At this time, the talkative maids were already shocked and speechless. Fortunately, this was a bathroom, and the thing hanging from Gron's lower body was dangling, so that people would not be aware of his true nature. Gender is in doubt. Of course, these maids did not have the courage to disobey Bahrain's orders. After cleaning Gron quickly, they brought him clean clothes. Just looking at these clothes, Goron's face gradually became ugly again.
"Why women's clothing?" (To be continued...)
