my age of magic

Chapter 1526
In the past, I used to stand on the heights of the imperial capital and look up at the royal city above my head. I felt that the city above my head looked magnificent against the backdrop of the night. The imperial emperor lived in the royal city. There is an unreachable distance for this kind of ordinary nobleman.

One year later, when I stepped on this piece of land suspended in mid-air, overlooking the Imperial City at the Majaro crater, the panoramic view of the Imperial City was in sight. In autumn, the Imperial City was surrounded by red leaves all over the mountains and plains. Surrounded by the city, the long street is full of golden yellow.

Weiyang Lake is inlaid in the center of the city like a blue gemstone, surrounded by rows of buildings. The Imperial City has a very strange phenomenon. The closer to the center of the lake, the sparser the buildings. Hundreds of gorgeous castles, these castles surround Weiyang Lake, the streets and green belts are very neatly repaired, and more than a hundred manor castles constitute the first block of the imperial capital.

On the north bank of Weiyang Lake, the second block and the third block are adjacent, and the second block is populated by small lords who are difficult to become nobles in the Green Empire. These lords are also rich and hold private troops in their hands. A force to be reckoned with.The third block has several colleges and universities. Many magicians like to live in the third block. Most of the houses here are villa-style small single buildings. The fourth block is the residence of the knights and wealthy businessmen in the imperial capital. , the fifth block has the most prosperous business district in the imperial capital, and also has a gathering area of ​​elves.

The north bank of Weiyang Lake belongs to the wealthy area that surrounds most of Weiyang Lake. The wealthy area is close to the southern slope of the Majaro crater. This part of the area has longer sunshine hours in winter.

The sixth and seventh blocks are distributed in the south of the Imperial City. These two areas belong to civilian areas. The vigorous development in recent decades has led to the expansion of the area of ​​the two blocks. The southernmost end of the seventh block is close to Maza. At the foot of Mount Luo, the sixth and seventh districts occupy almost half of the land in the imperial capital. The civilian houses in the neighborhood look fairly neat, but a few commoners live in a single building , everyone shares a kitchen and toilet, which will inevitably cause a lot of inconvenience to these civilians.

On such a sunny autumn afternoon, standing in front of the portal of the Floating King City overlooking the Imperial City, you can have a panoramic view of the Imperial City.

Ying Li took my arm and stood with me in front of the portal. The princes and princesses passing by the magic teleportation array behind us all looked at us curiously, and some princes even waved at me lightly.

We didn't stay at the entrance of the magic teleportation array for too long, and followed the flow of people into a corridor with circular arches. All the buildings in the floating imperial city are made of polished smooth marble with round arches. There are exquisite reliefs on the bottom and top of the Roman stone pillars on both sides of the dome-shaped cloister, and there are some palace guards standing on both sides of the passage. Those guards are wearing silver armor and a thick helmet with a mask on their heads. Holding a halberd, he looked majestic.

After boarding the Floating King City, I realized that this palace is more like a majestic castle floating in the sky. This magnificent building complex is divided into two parts. The palace, the back part is the bedroom of His Majesty Charles, and some underage princes and princesses will also live in that palace with their mothers.

Perhaps it is because there is a layer of magic mask protection over the Imperial City, so we can’t feel any wind on the Floating King City. Only when we cross a bridge suspended in the air can we officially enter the palace complex of the Floating King City. The palace is built resplendently and resplendently just like what we saw under the imperial capital. The vestibule has a beautiful hanging garden. We walked through this garden full of exotic flowers and weeds, and saw that there are eleven main halls here. Each of the main halls is made of crystal white stones. Outside the halls, large stone pillars soar to the sky, making people feel as if there are giants living here.

It's hard to imagine what kind of large magic circle can suspend such a huge mountain-like castle in mid-air under the royal city.

The banquet hall of His Majesty Charles was held in the Hall of Courage, one of the eleven main halls. On the dome of this hall, the phantom of the Archangel Imprius holding the sword of courage in both hands appeared, and the whole palace was like a building. On a stone peak, surrounded by fully unfolded twelve-winged wings, this palace is a huge circular platform, with nearly [-] stone pillars [-] meters high supporting the sky of the main hall. A huge platform was filled with banquet tables, and the tables were filled with all kinds of exquisite food. Many of the food had been prepared in advance, even though they were coated with a thick layer of grease or honey, they were already cold.

Hundreds of court ladies and palace guards shuttled through the banquet hall, placing some exquisite food on the dining table.

This is a palace without walls. The biggest shelter around is the [-]-meter-high stone sculpture shaped like angel wings. Ying Li and I climbed the stone steps to the circular platform of this palace. Many members of the royal family have already entered the banquet area. , we also followed behind the master of ceremonies and found our own place in the banquet hall. Prince James and Mrs. Manda were a little far away from us.But at last it was okay, Le Die sat with us.

Helena, Becky, and Katerina also boarded the Floating King City with us.

It seems that this is not the first time for Helena and Becky to come here. They seem to be accustomed to the magnificent buildings here, but it is the first time for Katerina to come here. Her ruby-like eyes are completely attracted by the gorgeous and magnificent palace here. , it seems a bit unsightly, and the eyes always wander around with the exquisite reliefs of the palace.

We sat in front of a long row of dining tables with many princes of the Angibold royal family. At this time, everyone was whispering and chatting on the seats. People feel dizzy.

I finally looked away from the gorgeous dome of the Palace of Courage. Ying Li sat beside me and looked at me with a faint smile. Holding Ying Li's hand, he whispered to her, "So this is the Floating King City!"

"That's right, this is the miracle of the Grimm Empire - the floating city." Ying Li glanced at the large buildings in the royal city, sat beside me and said in a low voice: "You probably don't know yet, this floating royal city It was formerly a war fort."

"War Fortress..." I looked at the huge palace and took a deep breath.

On the tower not far away, a group of Royal Gripen Knights shuttled among them.

Yingli sat beside me and introduced me in a low voice to the princes and princesses sitting around me and Yingli.

Le Die was also chatting with a half-elf princess with a smile at this time, and they seemed to be familiar with each other.

While we were paying attention to some royal family members at the banquet, a young princess in a light purple court dress ran across to Yingli. The voice said to Ying Li: "Hey, Ying Li, what are you talking about, don't you introduce this young and handsome Xungui to us?"

She has blond curly hair, looks delicately made up on her face, and squints at me, and I feel a faint hostility hidden in her eyes.

There is always a kind smile on her face, but I think her face will raise the corners of her mouth even if she is not smiling. She just has the kind of face that loves to smile.

"Hi, Alicia, why haven't I seen you just now?" Ying Li was startled by the sudden beauty, and said in amazement.

It turned out that her name was Alicia, and I had never heard Yingli mention this name.

Princess Alicia smiled coquettishly and said to Ying Li: "In your eyes, can you still accommodate us? Hee hee, you haven't come to Wangcheng to see me for a long time, I really want to hear you talk about the imperial capital Something new in town."

When he said these words, he was still shaking a small exquisite palace folding fan in his hand, covering his lips with it from time to time.

Seeing what Princess Alicia said, Yingli said to me generously: "Jijia, this is Alicia Angelbold, she is the seventeenth princess of the royal family, the sister of Wales, and my playmate when I was young." .”

It turned out to be the sister of the Prince of Wales, no wonder she looked hostile towards me.

Yingli paused for a moment, and said solemnly to Princess Alicia: "Alicia, this is Marquis Jijia, my husband."

Princess Alicia's expression seemed a bit exaggerated, she kept fanning the small folding fan, and there was a gust of fragrant wind around her, she said: "Ah, the name Jijia is so cool, I heard Welsh mention you, really! He thinks highly of you, and it looks like you're a little bit different than the rumors say."

I nodded to her. Hearing what she said, I couldn't help answering: "Oh? What do I look like in the rumors?"

There are many rumors about me in the Royal Academy of Magic, nothing more than a militant from the Northern Province, the magic student with the highest force value in the academy, an assistant to the Yerkes scholar of the Imperial Academy of Magic, and so on.

And there are many rumors about me in the imperial capital, I guess most of them are of the kind: the owner of the rune workshop who is hated by all the junior inscribers in the imperial capital, the arms dealer who is concerned by many lords in the imperial capital, Louis Mensah, Zha Ke Samoyed, Ernestine and other friends, etc...

But what kind of rumors there are in the court, I am a little curious about this, after all, neither Ying Li nor Le Die have ever talked about it.

Princess Alicia narrowed her pupils, stared into my eyes, and said bluntly to me: "Those court magicians think you are a domineering young magician. You beat William William up as soon as you arrived in the imperial capital, and even robbed Lai. Duke Ann Busman's lover, and..."

"..." I was a little speechless, I didn't expect Princess Alicia to speak so sharply!

I know that Yingli must know about Alia's existence, but she always deliberately avoids anything about Alia in front of me. If she doesn't mention it, it doesn't mean she doesn't know, but now the veil used to cover up is just like this. Princess Alicia, the prince's own sister, revealed.

Ying Li's smiling face seemed somewhat stiff, and she gave me a hard look.

Just when Princess Alicia showed a hint of pride on Yingli's expression, Le Die who was sitting by the side couldn't help but reprimanded Princess Alicia: "Enough, Alicia, you are still the same, what are you talking about?" Do you ever use your brains? Or did Wales take all your wits?"

This is clearly scolding Princess Alicia for being brainless, and the sudden irony made Princess Alicia not know what to say.

"Le Die, you..."

"I, me... what, Wales is fighting the Nacoma on the plane of Rocky. What do you mean by telling us this? Do you want me to delay the delivery of the next batch of military supplies for two days, or do you want me to let Nanfeng The legion's line of defense retreated to show the individual heroism of Wales?" Le Die approached Princess Alicia, and said in a very low voice against her ear: "Didn't you hear those court magicians talk about it? In addition to those identities, Jijia is also an arms dealer who supplies the magic crossbow bolts of the Welsh Legion?"

"I..." Princess Alicia was so helpless to fight back when Le Die scolded her.

She even wanted to defend herself, but Le Die gave her a hard look and scolded angrily: "You, you...you, go away, I'm upset when I see you, such a brainless, stupid, white sweet, stay in the palace well." You are raised here, honestly waiting to marry a certain noble lord of the borderlands of the Green Empire who has lost all his teeth, use the last bit of heat in your life, and don't always be instigated by those court magicians..."

The first banquet I attended at the Angibald royal family started amid such acrimonious quarrels. Ying Li sat beside me with a depressed face, watching Le Die scold Princess Alicia in the head, The young Princess Alicia had nothing to say back.

The princes and ministers sat on the high platform in the front row of the banquet hall, and then His Majesty Charles and the Queen arrived late and sat at the main seats in the banquet hall. A solemn bell rang in the banquet hall, and then His Majesty Charles held The wine glass stood up from his seat and spoke eloquently to the guests in the audience, then raised the wine glass again and drank the fine wine in the glass.

Everyone in the banquet hall followed the actions of His Majesty Charles, stood up, raised their glasses, and drank all the wine in the glasses. The banquet began...

Although the royal banquet looks gorgeous, the only thing that can satisfy my appetite is a piece of grilled snake lizard meat that has been cold in front of me.

Looking at the almost raw meat, just when I thought I should roast it again, Ying Li next to me stretched out a white hand, and a flame burst from his palm and landed on the piece of barbecued meat. I looked at Yingli very gratefully, and all I got was a blank look from Yingli. At this moment, I took the opportunity to grab Yingli's other hand under the table...
