MTL - I Like This Dream!-v2 Chapter 77
At the beginning of 345 of the Cecil calendar, His Majesty the King, who had been widowed for less than half a year, announced that he would marry the youngest daughter of the Pulan family this fall.
Countless nobles were envious for a moment, and even the Pulan family themselves were extremely shocked by this good thing that came from heaven, and accepted the gift with trepidation and trepidation. You know, the Patriarchs of the Pulan family are all just viscounts. They were born as big merchants in Twen City, and they obtained the thin blood of nobles through intermarriage. In the eyes of Richard II, an aristocratic faction who pays great attention to blood, the Puran family can barely be seen. No one thought that the queen would be born from this family.
In contrast, the fact that the new queen only split into an omega last year and is only twelve years old this year is far from the focus of attention.
The head maid, Flora, muttered dissatisfiedly for a while, saying that those **** who took advantage of the fire would probably be more proud. Only then did An Xu know that his mother, Mrs. Norma, was from the Pulan family, and Pulan was the "mother's family" who "cooperated with the side branch and sucked blood from Sullivan".
If he hadn't cleared the field at the beginning and stayed at Sullivan's house and fought against his mother and relatives, would the progress of this dream turn into a slap in the face by Gongdou after years of hard work in the draft? In An Xu's mind, girls (oh no, omega's) wearing tutu skirts, holding small fans, and electric sparks flickering in their eyes appeared, laughing uncontrollably.
Good clearing, good clearing, I'm so witty hahahaha.
Along with the news of the wedding came an invitation to every lord and head of a noble family. anna. Sullivan was finally remembered, as Sullivan's quasi-head of the family and Abery County (that is, north to Lixibi Plain, south to Tibes Spinning Line, surrounded by strange beast-infested hills in the east and west, including Abbot She is also going to Urborg, the capital of Yamenan, to attend the wedding and receive a feudal title. The wedding was held in early autumn, and if you go in a carriage, you must start in late summer.
The teleportation array is not omnipotent. The teleportation location needs to be prepared in advance with an "anchor point". It is generally drawn on the map by the teleporter. Someone needs to arrive at the location to be teleported, and the anchor point can be fixed before it can be opened. A teleportation array can only contact one anchor point at a time. The teleportation array on the Tibes border can only go straight to Aiboli City, while the teleportation array from Aiboli City to Urburg is smaller than the former, and can only transfer one or two people, and the gift of a few horse-drawn carriages cannot be delivered. As a result, An Xu once again experienced the pain of traveling long distances in a carriage.
Outside the range of influence of Abery City and Thunder Castle, the main road turned into a bumpy dirt road again. Most of the lords will never leave the territory several times in their lives, especially the vast majority of civilians. What do they need to do to build roads? An Xu felt his **** was knocked into three and four petals, and was knocked into a whole piece by a heavy ups and downs. Finally, he couldn't bear it and flew out, floating on the roof of the carriage.
"A little further ahead is Skag County. Lord Eve also leveled the road years ago." A chestnut-haired head poked out from the carriage, and smiled comfortingly at An Xu above, " It's a pity that except for Skag County, the road conditions in the north of Abery County are still not good, and the lord who can only see the little gold coins in front of him will not spend money to build roads."
The chestnut-haired boy sitting in Anxu's carriage is Caleb, a sixteen-year-old omega, who Rebecca prepared for Anxu. Flora had been away from the circle of nobles for many years, and Anshu had no idea of the ways of the nobles, and Caleb, who stored all the information about Urburg from the Nightingale's Throat in his mind, was enough to keep them from getting into trouble.
"Caleb has been raised as the next leader since the ten-year-old differentiation. I treat him like my own son. Please treat him well." An Xu still remembers how Rebecca wiped her tears hypocritically, and Winking at her meaningfully, "Of course, besides consulting, he can do something else."
"No, thank you." An Xu replied flatly at the time.
"Oh, where are you thinking?" Rebecca glanced at her reproachfully, "Master Eve has arranged for Caleb to be a fallen nobleman, and he can be brought into the banquet as your companion. You can only accept the territory after marriage, and you can let him pretend to be your fiancé, which is better than being inexplicably accused of marriage. Oh, little Caleb is still innocent."
Caleb shyly cooperated with him, while An Xu wiped the blood from his mouth in his heart.
Caleb is indeed a man, with a handsome appearance, and in reality, he is also a handsome boy who attracts a lot of people's love. It's a pity that An Xu really didn't like the male and female Mo Distinguished Beauty Zhengtai, so he had to let him perform his duties as a commentator in a proper manner.
"If I donate money and people, can the direct road be built?" An Xu asked.
"I'm afraid not, it will make the lords and even the king along the way doubt your intentions." Caleb pouted regretfully, "Only the lord is qualified to manage his own territory, and only the king has the right to interfere. Zha's close minister married the princess to that Sullivan's patriarch, and now you can't do anything about it."
"Really annoying."
"There is no way, we can only wait for a wise lord to become king to improve this."
"Is it my delusion or something," An Xu looked at him suspiciously, "are you encouraging me to rebel along the way?"
"What I said is the truth." Caleb said honestly and innocently, "Whether it is to improve the road conditions across the country, or the Sullivan family has royal blood and theoretically has the qualifications to become the heir apparent, it is all true. .If you hear something, you must have made up your mind. Isn't it?"
As he spoke, he looked back at Lydia in the carriage, and nudged her with his elbow very familiarly. The ascetic monk stopped scribbling and drawing in his notebook, and glanced at the cheap boy. Under the cold wind and bleak eyes, Caleb giggled.
In addition to the servants, Anxu only brought the head maid Flora, the narrator and "companion" Caleb, and the bound nurse Lydia—Lydia was studying under Alva in full swing, so she followed directly The tutor is studying for a Ph. D., and An Xu once planned to leave her behind temporarily, but Lydia followed after hearing that An Xu was going to leave.
Caleb, or the Rebecca or Eve he represents, Sima Zhao's heart is clearly revealed, but Anxu's mentality of not being interested in fighting for hegemony is also clear at a glance. Even if the poor road conditions elsewhere in Yamenan increased her treason by several percentage points, she was too lazy to take over such a big mess.
"I don't want to be a king. What's the benefit of being a king?" An Xu looked at the messy scene outside the carriage and said, "The king's enjoyment may not be as comfortable as ours."
"How do you know?"
"The nobles in other places can only dip bread in honey, and the children here in Tibes can eat sugar. What good things can the king have?" An Xu said disapprovingly.
"You said it too early," Caleb shook his head, showing a mysterious smile, "You haven't been to the City of Gold yet."
He is right.
A few thousand meters away from the capital, there appeared a level road that was enough for eight horses to gallop side by side. From here, a tall tower piercing the sky could be seen from afar. The golden giant tower hundreds of meters high is shining in the sun, enough to stab the eyes of the observers. A little closer, the carriages wearing various noble family crests are like the tide rushing towards the city, and the servants in fine clothes are flowing in an endless stream. All of them are piled up like white marble poured out of a mold to form the city wall of Urburg. The walls are as smooth as a mirror. Outside each shooting hole, there are vivid stone statues of ferocious lions holding a golden, red and white intersecting flag in their mouths. It was the shield, the firebird, and the golden lion—the emblems of the royal house of Toland, rulers of Amenan.
An Xu and his party set foot on the land of Urburg in the early autumn of this year, and An Xu understood why Urburg was called the city of gold.
Countless pedestrians are bustling on the street, and there are no ragged civilians at a glance. It seems that there is no poor person in this city. From time to time, there are shadows passing by in the sky, there are people wearing uniforms, and there are also flying birds and beasts wearing bracelets that symbolize "domestication". The street is spotless, and various stores sell various goods, which makes people dazzled; troubadours and jugglers perform on the high platform, and lively music can be heard everywhere in the city; It filled every corner of the street, and at a glance, An Xu was stunned, thinking of his hometown on National Day.
It is incredible that this bustling and tidy city seems to be in modern times at first glance.
"The 'golden tower' is the symbol of Urburg." Caleb competently explained to Anshu who climbed back into the carriage, "It used to be the watchtower of the shelter in the dark ages, until Yamenan opened the country and established the capital. It took a hundred years to lose its effect. Henry II asked the supernatural beings to heighten the tower, and Henry III asked the supernatural beings to paste gold foil on the waist of the tower, which formed what it is today. We are going to the west of the Golden Tower His Majesty the King used hundreds of plant power users to build a huge tree house and warehouse that could accommodate all the lords..."
That's right, An Xu came to his senses, it was not manpower and technology that made this place so prosperous, but unreasonable abilities.
The level of the ground depends on the earth-type abilities, the city walls rely on the rock abilities, the clean streets rely on the exorcists, and so on. The king is showing the invitees what powers they have, wealth, artisans, and weapons.
But for An Xu, this kind of display is tantamount to winking to the blind. She has seen ordinary people move mountains and reclaim seas, and build more spectacular cities than this with their hands. Urburg did not shock her so much as it gave her a novelty, the novelty of visiting Disneyland. An Xu looked around and listened to the tour guide Caleb's explanation. He only felt that Urburg was more luxurious than Tibis Fortress, more solemn than Aiboli City, and more secular than St. Andrew's Seminary in Alingu. It is indeed the capital of Yamenan.
Then, she suddenly saw something.
The people in front of them were obviously a team, a dozen people were leading horses, wearing leather armor with green patterns, and they all looked capable of soldiers. They seemed to have clashed with another group of people with red patterns on their iron armor, but before the Urburg patrol team came out to maintain order, one of them stood up and said something, and the crowd that had just started to smell like gunpowder settled down again.
From this position, one can only see the back of that person's head from a distance, with short blond hair, tall, and a lean body wrapped under a cloak. An Xu stared blankly for a while, then came back to his senses, and said to himself, I must have met too few handsome guys, I can watch a tall guy (but most of them have a good figure) for so long, even the parents I don't know what kind of thing (but he must have a good figure, look at his arms!).
Caleb noticed Anxu's sluggishness, and squeezed over to look there with her. He let out an "oops" and happily explained, "That's the Gale Knights!"
"Oh." An Xu nodded because he didn't know.
"That Gale Knights! My idol!" Caleb said, clutching his chest, Barabara, "Did you know that the Gale Knights are the only knights without an alpha! There are so many omegas! Including their branch leader... "
An Xu lost her mind again in the background of his chattering, she always felt that something was popping up in her mind, like a slippery fish, she couldn't catch it no matter what. She looked out again, and the people in the two teams had already dispersed. The man mixed into the crowd and quickly disappeared.
