Chapter 572 Return to Solan City
The Desert of Death will make the lost characteristics of flying units unable to take effect on the armies of Twilight City.
With the skeletal blood dragon spreading its wings and flying wildly, in the early morning of April 8th, when the morning light lit up the sky, the towering walls of Solan City appeared in front of Richard on the ground.
At a height of more than fifty meters, it looks like a ravine in the sky.
Even a giant more than ten meters tall would be amazed.
Guards wearing full-body armor, various ferocious heavy-duty defense weapons, and towering arrow towers and mage towers behind the city walls all illustrate the power of this city.
But the most eye-catching thing is the Pegasus knights flying neatly in the sky, carrying long lances, and constantly patrolling the surroundings.
These level 19 troops are the elite of Solan City.
According to rumors, there are extraordinary-level Pegasus air cavalry hidden in Solan City.
Half a year ago, Richard would have had endless yearning for these top level 19 units, eager to possess them.
But at this moment, my mood has not fluctuated much.
Dragon Wings, after two months of development, has surpassed three squadrons.
What you can't get is the best. After you have it, that feeling fades away.
The team flew very fast, and according to past habits, Richard subconsciously wanted to let the army stay at the military storage area.
At this moment, the extraordinary female warrior who protected Chrissy and had scars on her face drove the skeletal blood dragon closer.
The tone was respectful.
"Master Richard, the Grand Duke told you that from now on, you can directly lead the army into Solan City, and there is no need to store troops like other people."
"Just fly directly into the city."
Richard gave the other party a meaningful look.
"In this case, I will personally thank you when I meet His Majesty the Grand Duke Solan."
When the extraordinary female warrior heard this, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on her face became a little brighter.
If this privilege were given to others, those people would be extremely grateful.
But the person in front of me is different.
The other party accepted it, which means that the other party is not disgusted with this meeting, which is a good start.
As for violating Solan City's rules, aren't the rules designed to be violated?
This is Solan City, and Grand Duke Solan’s orders are the rules!
Richard did not hesitate and asked Alves to speed up and approach the city wall.
The bustling crowd at the city gate soon discovered this undead army that did not belong to Solan City.
Seeing them actually daring to fly straight towards the city wall, I felt a bit funny for no reason.
Suddenly, everyone stopped and watched the show.
"Good guy, I've been in Solan City for ten years, and this is the first time I've seen someone dare to lead an army directly to the city wall. There are only a few of them, are they enough to trample and shoot a round of arrows?"
"Barbarians? This is a player's army? Damn it, whose general is this, so fierce?"
"No way, there are still people who don't understand the rules of Solan City?"
In the eyes of everyone watching the show, the undead dragons carrying many soldiers did not stop at all and flew over the city wall.
Later, under everyone's stunned gaze, the guards on the city wall not only did not stop him, but instead performed a military salute.
The Pegasus knights above their heads slowly circled down, surrounding the army to escort them.
This movement made the native people and players watching the excitement below widen their eyes in disbelief.
Then, the guy actually flew over the city wall? ?
Has the rule in Solan City changed that prohibits anyone from flying over the city wall?
A group of unwilling players immediately asked the soldiers guarding the city gate beside them. After being ridiculed and cursed, they had to accept a ridiculous fact.
That player actually led his own army and ran rampant in a city with extraordinary guards.
What the hell is that guy's identity?
Why can the defenders of Solan City be given the green light?
Soon, this scene spread throughout Solan City.
When those high-ranking nobles with a lot of informants heard the news, they were suddenly shocked and confused.
The information they have is not comparable to that of the lower-level residents and players. The rules of Solan City were set by Grand Duke Solan himself.
Even if a prince from the royal family comes some time ago, he must abide by it honestly. Even his only daughter has never been an exception.
The person who entered the city could ignore the rules of Solan City and was escorted by Pegasus knights. He was definitely worthy of Solan's approval.
The question is, who has the strength to allow a legendary ascetic to actively break the rules he has set?
Suddenly, the mysterious person who entered the city became the focus of attention of all the nobles in Solan City.
Huhu~
An entire squadron of skeletal blood dragons slowly landed at the door of Violet Manor.
The movement here immediately attracted the attention of countless people.
It didn't take long for the news to be spread back to the major forces.
The Violet Chamber of Commerce, which was inconspicuous in Solan City, was immediately taken seriously.
They really want to know what kind of background the person who can make Grand Duke Solan break the rules has.
After getting off the back of the skeletal blood dragon, the extraordinary female warrior immediately took the soldiers to leave.
Richard didn't talk much and let them leave on their own.
Chris refused to leave.
The Chaofan didn't say much. After leaving the girl behind, he quickly disappeared around the corner of the street.
In Solan City, even if something happened to her extraordinary person, Chris would be fine.
No need to worry about safety.
Chrissy didn't want to go home so soon, she wasn't wild enough yet.
He hugged Richard's arm and walked into the Violet Manor.
"Your Excellency Richard, Weier has managed the Violet Chamber of Commerce well during this period!"
"The sales volume of Hei Ning sorbet has increased greatly during this period. This cheap and refreshing food has become famous. Even many chambers of commerce in surrounding cities have taken the initiative to seek cooperation."
< br>
"Of course, the most important contributor is me~ The Violet Chamber of Commerce has developed so well, and no one has ever asked for trouble!"
"When you return to the territory, you must convince your father to bring me, this great hero, with you. I want to go to the underground world to see"
Li Cha couldn't help but dumbfounded when he heard these words.
Even if she didn't pay attention to this garrulous little girl, she could talk to herself all day long.
Such a loud commotion outside had already alarmed the people in the manor.
After Richard entered, a large circle of people came.
In addition to the familiar silver dwarfs and half-feathered people, there are also many unseen races.
Weier, who was surrounded by people in the center, immediately started to walk briskly after seeing the familiar figure.
After approaching quickly, he held his chest and saluted with joy.
"Good day, Lord Richard~"
"Good day, Your Highness Chris."
Richard looked at this girl with an obviously mature and stable temperament and felt a little emotional.
When I sent Weier here, I was a little worried that the other party wouldn't be qualified for this role.
But in the past six months, the Violet Chamber of Commerce has developed steadily in its hands, and it can often deny Twilight City.
It can be said that his original expectation of establishing the Violet Chamber of Commerce was perfectly fulfilled.
"Weil, you have worked hard during this period. Your efforts are very important to the territory."
"The city at dusk will never forget your efforts."
Weir's eyes were crooked, and the joy on her face overflowed from the bottom of her heart.
"No, sir, this is what I should do!"
"I want to thank you. Without you, I might have been covered in yellow sand and become a withered corpse"
These words made Richard even more satisfied.
Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he took out a crystal clear crystal from the system space.
handed it to the other party.
Weir subconsciously took it and said with some surprise.
"Sir, what is this?"
"A reward for you."
"Strengthening crystal can upgrade a skill to Transcendent A level."
Before Richard finished speaking, Weir's body trembled, she clenched the crystal tightly and said in a trembling voice.
"This, this is too precious, sir"
Richard smiled.
"Your contribution is worth more."
"Use it well. The tasks undertaken by the Violet Chamber of Commerce will be even heavier in the future, and they cannot do without you as the helmsman."
Weir is a B-level hero. Although his abilities are very good, there is still a lot of room for improvement.
The other party is also worthy of this strengthening crystal.
Weir's eyes turned red quietly as she looked at Richard's serious gaze.
It is difficult for outsiders to understand her feelings. The other party not only saved her from the desert and saved her life, but also made her achieve unimaginable success in her career.
Now, she is the leader of the Violet Chamber of Commerce!
From a lowly commoner who was on the verge of death after being in trouble, he is now in charge of a chamber of commerce and a business leader who can talk to high-ranking nobles on an equal footing.
The feeling of this is not something I can hardly relate to.
When Chris saw the strengthening crystal, her eyes immediately lit up.
He hugged Richard's arm tightly.
"There is such a treasure?! Your Excellency Richard."
As he spoke, he revealed that a child is eager to see a toy but is a little cautious about not wanting to speak to his parents.
Richard couldn't laugh or cry.
He opened the girl's hand, took out the sharp corners of Xiaohe's hair, and pinched her cheek.
He reached out and waved, and a strengthening crystal appeared in his hand again.
He got a total of three in the last large copy.
One was given to the one-armed blacksmith Sam, which raised his forging talent to Transcendent A level. The remaining two were never given out.
Without hesitation, he handed it directly to the little girl.
Chrissy looked at Richard and then at the enhanced crystal in his hand.
My heart trembled inexplicably.
The voice became a little weaker.
"Really, really give it to me?"
Richard smiled.
"You, a great hero, naturally want to reward me. You are my backer in Solan City."
Chris stared at Richard for a long time, and after confirming that there was nothing false in his eyes, the smile on her face became particularly bright.
Shake his head.
"I can't accept it, Mr. Richard, this is more important to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt his hand being wrapped in warmth, and then something cold and hard was forced into the palm of his hand.
"I'll give it to you. There's so much nonsense."
Richard pinched the girl's face again, and then walked briskly towards the back room.
"Vell, ask the chef to prepare breakfast. I traveled all night last night and haven't eaten yet."
Looking at Richard's back, Chris subconsciously turned her head and looked at Weir who was still in place.
Both of them saw the crystal in each other's hands, and then they felt a little shy for no reason.
Chrissy took a deep breath and calmed down.
At this moment, she somewhat understood why Weier was so loyal to Richard.
It was the first time she had heard of this kind of treasure that could upgrade a skill to Transcendent A level.
You don’t need to think about it to know how precious this is!
But now, I just gave it to her.
Touching the crystal, I felt inexplicably satisfied.
After taking a deep breath, his eyes flashed with sharpness.
The innocent girl's appearance quietly faded away at this moment, replaced by a serious and determined face.
Sir Richard, don't worry, no matter how the empire's higher-ups view you, Solan City will stand firmly with you.
These words were spoken by me, Chris Solan, the legendary descendant and the sole heir of Solan City.
Even if a war breaks out, even if blood flows like a river!
Solan City will never abandon its friends.
After having breakfast comfortably, Richard half-reclined on the soft elf armchair and listened to Weir's report.
Chris knew that the two of them had important matters to discuss, so she didn't bother them much and went to the guest room to catch up on her sleep while yawning.
Although this time I came to meet Grand Duke Solan, I was not in a hurry.
The extraordinary female warrior must still be reporting and discussing with Grand Duke Solan at this time.
When Grand Duke Solan invites him again, it will be the time for the two parties to truly meet.
At that time, Grand Duke Solan will attend as the Lord of Solan City and the Grand Duke of the Templar Empire.
And Richard talked to him as the lord of Twilight City and the controller of the El plane.
This meeting will determine whether the two sides are enemies or friends, and will even affect the relationship between the Templar Empire and Twilight City.
At this point in his thoughts, Richard felt a little emotional.
Unknowingly, he already had the strength that Solan City and even the Templar Empire had to take seriously.
In the first few invitations, Grand Duke Solan only regarded him as a lord who had a good relationship with his daughter and had good potential.
Although the gap was only a few months, the relationship between the two parties was completely different.
However, Richard did not discuss this matter with Weir at this time. He was more concerned about the secret arrangement of the Violet Chamber of Commerce - the intelligence network.
The Violet Chamber of Commerce is not only responsible for economic work, but gathering intelligence is also a top priority.
Weil takes the subject seriously.
"The construction of the intelligence network has been fully launched"
"I purchased a large number of slaves with talents in this area. After training, they have all been put to use."
"Currently, our intelligence network has more than 300 shadow people under our direct jurisdiction, lurking in major news gathering places and valuable chambers of commerce in Solan City."
"There are a total of twenty peripheral intelligence organizations bribed with money. Although the quality of the information provided by these is not high, after the information is aggregated, a lot of useful intelligence can still be obtained."
"For those Lords of Divine Grace that you brought back last time, I also allocated special funds for them to be responsible for coordinating the collection and compilation of information about the Lords of Divine Grace. So far, the harvest has been considerable. They have contributed to the Violet Chamber of Commerce's several foreign trades. ”
Richard nodded. The time was too short. It was not easy for Weier to achieve this step.
"Did the prince sent by the Templar Empire this time get any relevant information?"
Although the prince's visit to Solan City was not publicized in a big way, it was not hidden as a secret.
Weir's expression was a little subtle.
"That prince...may be different than we think."
"The other party is the third prince of the Templar Empire. His mother, a commoner, died when he was ten years old."
"He was born in a humble family and his mother died young, so this prince was not taken seriously since he was a child. Only this time, he was chosen."
Having said this, his eyes became serious.
"The Templar Empire's attitude towards us may be worse than expected."
As soon as he finished speaking, Richard could faintly smell the smell of blood that was about to come. (End of chapter)
