The city of buried gold in the west.
The history of this city in this world is only about two or three hundred years old.
Because of the proximity to the monster forest, no one dared to build a city in front of those berserk monsters before the court of the gods came.
However, since the discovery of an astonishing amount of ore veins in the ground here, the empire has sent various knights to level up this area.
This is how the city of buried gold was established.
This is a commercial city.
The high city wall was not made of dirty gray bricks and tiles, but a strange white stone, and the azure blue light flowed across the city wall from time to time, as if the city wall was alive.
A small bat squatted not far from the city, watching the city gate gradually open with the rotation of the gears, and the girl in black clothes who was guarded by a large group of white knights.
"The technology of humans in this world... is really deformed."
Lu Qiu stared at the city gate. The opening of the city wall was done naturally, without any manpower... To be able to build this kind of city wall, the level of human technology in this world is definitely not much higher than that on the earth.
As for why Lu Qiu felt deformed, it was probably because of his style.
With the body of a bat, Lu Qiu couldn't fly over the high city wall. The moment the city gate opened, Lu Qiu spread his wings and flew into it, standing on top of a building and looking down at the city.
The level of science and technology is indeed no less than that of the earth in some respects, but the human beings in this world still live a life similar to that of medieval Western Europe...their clothing and architectural styles are also the same.
But there are guns in this world, Lu Qiu glanced at the surrounding residents below, the knight guards he was watching.
Many of them were armed with weapons other than swords.
It is more appropriate to describe it as a firecracker, but the power of these firecrackers is many times greater than the power on the earth! On the silver-white metal shell, faint blue light flickers somewhere.
This is a kind of energy unknown to Lu Qiu. Humans in this world use this energy to move their machines, not oil.
In this world, some gifted humans have the ability to directly manipulate this energy.
But... after all, it was too lax.
Lu Qiu looked down at the residents chattering and discussing.
Obviously living on the edge of the monster forest, this group of residents dared to watch from such a close distance when the city gate was opened.
After all, the monsters in the forest are so peaceful, so peaceful that these residents have forgotten what a monster is... They thought that all the animals in the world were the dog they raised.
Lu Qiu didn't continue to watch. Nai Ye had already been taken by Kenser to the most central building in the city, where the city lord lived.
It's just a pity that the city lord turned into a bloody piece of meat, and it is estimated that he would have been dismembered and swallowed by those mineral spirits.
No one would notice Lu Qiu who turned into a little bat. Lu Qiu flew all the way to the vicinity of the City Lord's Mansion. After flying around the City Lord's Mansion, he chose a most hidden window to stop. The scarlet eyes in the little bat's eyes silently watched the activities of the humans below.
In the hall of the city lord is a council table, which looks like it has been set up early in the morning.
"The general situation is like this, Your Royal Highness, now your father really just wants to make up for the guilt he has caused you over the years...without any malice."
Along the way, Kenther told Naiye about the recent changes in the empire, as well as her identity...
Kenser originally thought that Nai Ye would show a very surprised expression when she heard that she was actually the emperor's daughter.
But it's a pity that the facial features on Nai Ye's face seemed to be frozen, and she listened to Kenser's explanation silently without saying a word.
Kenser is not worried that Nai Ye will not agree to go back to the central capital with him.
Emperor!
Be the Emperor!
Even in this orderly world, the most primitive human desire to rule still exists...
I don't know how many grand dukes are gearing up to do some shady things in secret, but under the deterrence of the court of the gods, no one really dares to set off a rebellion.
Although the long period of peace made Kenther feel creepy, Kenther still hoped that the peace would last forever.
Life is always the most important.
After Kenser took Nai Ye into the hall, he found someone who seemed to have been waiting here for a long time.
"Prince Lisner, why are you here?"
When Kenser saw the figure of that man, his words suddenly became extremely bad. If there are countless people in this world who want to overthrow the imperial power and become kings on their own, the middle-aged man in front of him is definitely the top among this group of people.
The largest business family in Central Capital, the patriarch of the Klauer family, Duke Lisna Klauer!
"I just heard that the metallurgical wine buried in Jincheng is the best red wine in the west."
The brown-haired man turned around, holding a goblet in his hand, his pale golden breasts swaying slightly in the goblet.
"Only when you come to the land of the buried gold city, can you taste the most orthodox metallurgical wine. I have nothing to do recently, so I'll try to see if the so-called most orthodox is really the case."
Lisner's temperament is like his identity. He has been in the aristocratic social circle and the status of the head of the clan for many years, which has cultivated him to maintain an elegant demeanor at all times.
"But, it's a pity." Lisner raised his wine glass, and Nai Ye stood there with an expressionless face behind the golden breasts: "The so-called most orthodox wine is far less mellow than the metallurgical wine sold in the central capital. Why...why?"
"Enough is enough for Lisner!" Of course Kenther knew that this guy had something to say, he was nakedly mocking Nai Ye's identity...
"Sure enough, the taste of the wine has nothing to do with orthodoxy." Lisner shook the wine glass and looked at Nai Ye: "It's just the place where it was brewed. As the most prosperous city in the world, the wine brewed in the central capital is completely incomparable with this small city that makes a living out of mining."
"You mean I'm not eligible to inherit the throne?"
When Nai Ye spoke, there was not much emotion in her words. Regarding these humans, Nai Ye could not be as natural as she was in front of Lu Qiu, because she had no way to judge the authenticity of human words.
Only Lu Qiu can make Nai Ye feel relaxed, because his life belongs to him, no matter how Lu Qiu deceives himself, in the end it will be just as agreed, death.
"Some things don't have power, so it's better not to touch them, beautiful lady."
Lisna put down his wine glass and looked at Nai Ye with a smile.
"Otherwise you will find that you have lost everything before the enjoyment even begins."
"You are threatening Your Royal Highness! Li Si Na, you can see clearly, this girl is the one the emperor is looking for, do you dare to question it?"
Kenser knew that Lisna was an old fox, and Nai Ye looked very young, if he was bewitched or threatened by Kenser's words, Kenser would not forgive himself!
"I didn't threaten, and I didn't question the royal blood flowing in her body." Facing Kenser's question, Lisner still responded lightly: "I'm just telling an innocent girl how dangerous this world is, and how dangerous you are going to put her in. Do you think this is fair for a woman who has no power to restrain her?"
Lisna didn't wait for Kenther to speak, and continued talking to Nai Ye.
"They only told you the beauty of imperial power, but there are no such simple things in the world. Not everyone can be an emperor."
"She's not the emperor, so why should you be? His Highness the Emperor personally ordered her to inherit the throne." Kense glared at Lisner.
"His Royal Highness is getting old, and even the memory of the old is blurred. It would be a disaster for this girl whose name is not even known by the citizens to become emperor. I support the children left by His Royal Highness' wives and concubines, not a person of unknown origin."
"Those women bought by your money?"
Kenser also ridiculed Lisner.
But Lisner ignored the knight leader and looked at Nai Ye who was standing there quietly.
"If you want money, our Claure family will give you money resources that you can't use up in your life. If you don't mind, you can become a member of the Claure family. This kind of treatment is not much worse than being His Royal Highness. And you don't have to feel pressured by outside doubts at all."
Who would accept a person who had never heard of him suddenly become his own Emperor? Presumably, as long as it is a person, there will be doubts...
In Lisner's view, this girl is no different from the noble ladies he met at the ball, enough money for them to squander, the status of commanding servants, and a handsome prince riding a white horse, as a woman, it is definitely a perfect life.
But he picked the wrong one.
The girls in front of her were not those noble ladies who indulged in luxury and luxury all day long, but the avengers who crawled out of hell and wiped their own blades.
Nai Ye has already lost everything, and she is not entitled to get it again. Everything about Nai Ye has belonged to an existence named Lu Qiu since that night.
Now that Lu Qiu wants Nai Ye to become the emperor, she must become the emperor...
As a pawn, the puppet...unconditionally obeys the master's orders.
"I refuse, I'm sorry, Lord Lisna, I think there is no way for me to disobey the order of this father whom I have never met."
Nai Ye's tone carried a feeling of refusal to be thousands of miles away.
After hearing Nai Ye's resolute refusal of Lisner's invitation, Kenser laughed. Although this girl did not seem to have the fighting power of the royal blood, she had enough backbone to not be ashamed of her surname Doudran.
"Really? This is really a pity. The young moth looked at the dazzling fire and wanted to hug it at all costs, but the result was tragic."
Lisner drank the wine in the goblet in one gulp...and put it on the table.
This is a signal that will bring death.
But nothing happened...
death did not come...
Not even the killing intent came.
what happened? Lisner raised his head slightly in surprise, and looked at the most hidden window in the hall.
No... where is the murderer... not
So... where did you go
... ...
"Let me see."
Lu Qiu is doing a very unscrupulous business now, which is searching for corpses.
Lu Qiu's hands were covered with blood, and in front of Lu Qiu lay a corpse wearing a tattered windbreaker, with a mechanical mask made of metal on its face.
This is the existence of watching the scenery in the hall with Lu Qiu.
After Lu Qiu turned into a bat and stayed there, he appeared like a phantom.
Obviously, he wasn't wary of a little bat.
He stared straight at the scenery in the hall through the pupils behind the mechanical mask, and then quietly pulled out the small but sharp blade in his arms, with more than a hundred notches on the handle.
At this moment Lu Qiu understood.
That guy is completely planning to kill the emperor's heir after the negotiation fails.
Kill in front of a Knight Commander!
Combat power is definitely not low in this world...
When Lisna drank the wine, the killer used the steel inlaid on his finger to make another notch on the handle of the knife.
The meaning of the expression is obvious.
This knife will have one more dead soul under the knife.
Indeed, this knife does have another dead soul under the knife, but it's a pity that this dead soul is his master.
Nai Ye is the most important pawn in Lu Qiu's plan, how could it be possible for others to kill him casually.
Humans vs vampires vs assassination
There is a thing called racial talent, you know? Racial talent!
So Lu Qiu quietly sneaked behind the killer, covered his mouth, and wiped off his neck with his own blade.
Of course, before wiping his neck, Lu Qiu slowed down the blood flow in his body, making his breathing difficult and he was slightly distracted.
Otherwise, Lu Qiu is really not sure about facing a top assassination master.
But this man is dead.
In the small attic on the window sill, Lu Qiu flipped through the things brought by the killer in a tattered windbreaker.
They were all alchemy props for assassination, and there were several bottles of poisonous potions. Lu Qiu did not find the antidote on him, and the killer didn't need those things.
Anyway, to Lu Qiu, it was a pile of junk, not even a wallet!
The purse makes a noise when it is moved around. As an assassin, it is most normal not to carry that thing.
Lu Qiu stopped searching for the corpse, looked at his face covered by the metal mask, and stretched out his hand to take off the metal mask on his face.
But after trying several times in a row, I found that it couldn't be pulled at all!
Apparently there is no link anywhere...is that so
Lu Qiu smiled lightly, and suddenly exerted force on his hand, making a slight tearing sound.
blood dripping...
The mask was indeed taken off, and at the same time, there was still the skin covering the person's face. Now facing Lu Qiu was a pile of bloody faces.
This guy's face is this metal mask, and tearing it off means death.
"Have you devoted your whole life to assassination? Maybe you are a feared assassination master in this world, but I'm sorry."
Lu Qiu threw the mask onto his body, and the blood in his hand formed a sword that pierced through his brain.
Cracking is more important than anything else.
After confirming that this strange existence really died.
Lu Qiu continued to look at the scenery below, it was almost time.
Let the world's evaluation of Nai Ye change from an unknown guy who got the emperor's succession to a shitty guy!
This guy is qualified to be our emperor!
