My wife is a dragon.

Chapter 248 Royal City
"Dang~"

"Dang~dang~"

The capital of the Lyon Empire.

When the first ray of sunlight shines down at dawn, the ancient bronze bell rings on time.

This human royal city is gradually awakening. The sound of the bells with magical patterns is deep and powerful, as if it has traveled through thousands of years, telling a story of glory and vicissitudes.

The towering stone walls blocked the rising sun. They seemed like the giants of this era, holding hands and surrounding this ancient human royal city.

The town is surrounded by a wall that is more than 30 kilometers long, with bricks fitting tightly together, as if guarding against some unknown danger.

Even though it has stood for hundreds of years, the city walls here only retain a few mottled traces carved out by time.

Inside the huge city gate that is ten meters high, buildings of different styles are arranged in an orderly manner.

At the highest point of the town, the solemn and majestic castle and palace complex shines in the warm golden morning light.

King's capital.

This is Xia Li's first time to come to the capital of the human empire.

Even though he had seen countless civilizations rise and fall on Earth, he had also read countless architectural diagrams of China's five thousand years.

However, I was also shocked by the medieval fantasy-style buildings in front of me.

This kind of visual and auditory impact is far beyond what movies can bring.

"Wow ah-"

Lucia also stuck her head out from under Xia Li's chest, looking at the majestic town at the end of the road with her mouth wide open.

"it's beautiful!"

Lucia's eyes flickered.

Seeing modern human cities on Earth gave her a feeling of distance and awe.

After all, she was very weak on Earth. She couldn't even afford a room in a building, let alone a building.

But it’s different in the continent of Aize.

There are no morals or laws to constrain her in the continent of Aize. She can follow the law of the jungle to get everything she wants.

For example, the royal capital in front of us.

If she wants it, she can get it if she works hard.

This feeling of being within reach was more real to Lucia.

Therefore, her gaze towards this ancient human city was more like staring at a ball of glittering gold coins.

"A breath of dragon should be able to burn for a long time!"

The evil dragon was inspired.

Xia Li grabbed her little hand and pulled her into the car.

"How does this place compare to Earth?" he asked with concern.

Lucia thought about it seriously, and then said frankly: "Of course, the skyscrapers on Earth are ten thousand times more powerful!"

"Ok!"

Xia Li was very satisfied with this answer.

For Xia Li, as an Earthling, the fact that his hometown has been highly recognized by the dragon is a matter of great pride.

"My dear guest, would you like to go in with the carriage, or..."

Just then, the old driver knocked on the door and a humble and gentle voice came from outside the car.

Xia Li stretched his head and looked outside again.

The level of vigilance in the royal capital is completely different from that in Tarot City.

People carrying luggage formed two long queues at the city gate.

When the carriage arrives at the city gate, special guards will lead the horses to the inspection point, and everyone in the carriage will get off and line up at the small gate on the other side.

If ordinary people want to enter the city, they must present relevant identification.

Not only do they need to check the weapons they carry, but they also have to take off their bags and search them one by one.

What Xia Li was more concerned about was the diamond-shaped crystal hanging on the city gate, which was bigger than a human head.

Xia Li had seen this kind of crystal in the future continent of Aize.

It is a magic tool for investigating races.

Different races have different magical auras around them.

The more powerful a race is in its ability to control magic, the longer the magic ripples around it will be.

Slightly weaker hybrids might be able to sneak in, but this race itself poses no threat to human towns.

However, it is impossible for a pure-blooded dragon like Lucia to sneak in.

Not only that.

Xia Li raised his head and vaguely saw an arc-shaped transparent magic shield.

The magic shield covered the entire holy city.

This directly eliminates the idea of ​​any race wanting to break through from the air.

It is hard to imagine how many times the city of King Ang had to go through attacks by beast tides and dragons to have taken such defensive measures.

However, the Lyon Empire is currently in a period of civil unrest.

The rebels in the east are seemingly unable to be suppressed, so it is understandable that they are on such alert.

"Can you get us in?"

The difficulty of passing the customs is no less than taking Lucia on a plane.

To be honest, Xia Li felt somewhat desperate when looking at this scene.

"Of course I can, but you may have to endure some injustice. I need you to go to the back of the car and hide with my cargo, cattle and sheep."

The coachman rolled his eyes and answered humbly.

He didn't ask about Xia Li's identity at all.

Just give the money.

Xia Li thought for a moment, then lowered his voice and continued to ask.

"What if it's mixed blood?"

"Mixed blood?"

The old driver hesitated for a moment and said, "A half-blood without an ID? It doesn't matter. I can hide you in the cow's stomach..."

"What if there is a lot of blood mixed in, it might even cause the surveying equipment to sound an alarm?" Xia Li said again.

"This……"

The old driver was a little embarrassed. Xia Li's euphemism made him have many guesses.

"Is it smuggling sub-humans?"

"A sub-race with slightly purer blood." Xia Li added.

Specifically, a pure-blooded dragon.

"..."

The old driver frowned his already wrinkled forehead and looked embarrassed.

"If it's really a mixed-blood, and the surrounding magic fluctuations are a little bit longer, I can use the aura-eliminating cloak to cover it up a little bit... But if the magic fluctuations are too long, or even if it's a mixed-blood who has mastered high-level magic, I can't do anything."

The old driver said with regret.

As he spoke, his eyes inadvertently glanced at the little girl behind Xia Li.

It can be guessed that the person who can trigger the detection crystal alarm mentioned by the rich man is the "rich lady" behind him.

The coachman didn't care about the young lady's true identity.

But it’s a pity that we can’t make this deal.

But he has relied on traveling back and forth between Tarot City and the Royal Capital for food all his life. As a businessman traveling between the two places, if he smuggles highly mixed-bloods or even pure-blooded aliens into the Royal City, there is a chance that he will be blacklisted.

At that time, let alone continuing his business, he might be directly charged as a rebel, have all his property confiscated, and then be thrown into prison.

Then the gain outweighs the loss.

"Or do you have any other special channels?"

Xia Li didn't give up and continued to ask.

The coachman shook his head.

This is a sensitive period in the capital, and he doesn't want to get involved in this mess.

I originally thought that I just had no identity and that I could get in by paying a little money and providing proof.

But if it's a foreign race...

There really is nothing that can be done.

Xia Li looked at the old driver quietly for a moment.

He could more or less sense the seriousness of the matter. Even this greedy businessman was afraid of this...

There is a high probability that it cannot be handled.

Unless Xia Li decides to break through by force.

He held a sword, and behind him followed a pure-blooded silver dragon...

It is not a problem at all to turn the capital upside down.

But this requires weighing the pros and cons.

Doing so would undoubtedly make you the public enemy of this world and be blacklisted by all humans on the entire Aize continent.

This will affect Xia Li's future development...

It will also change the 'past' of the continent of Aize.

In this case, the future here is no longer the future that Xia Li has ever been to.

The impact is too great, and the risks are too great.

The best situation is to go in quietly, get what you want, and then quietly come out without taking away a cloud.

Finally, we traveled without shame in the continent of Azer with Lucia, visited the place where Lucia grew up, and visited the human town where Xia Li once hiked.

Finally, turn on the plane teleportation magic and return to Earth safely.

For Xia Li, this is a good result.

"Otherwise I won't go in..."

Lucia also noticed the fear on the old driver's face and the worry on Xia Li's face, so she took the initiative to make this request.

Although I kind of want to see the human king city...

But there is nothing we can do if we can’t get in.

Even though Lucia is a dragon, she is actually quite timid.

Especially when it comes to Xia Li's affairs, try to stay calm if possible and avoid unnecessary complications.

"Let's get off first."

Xia Li pulled Lucia out of the car.

First, he took a certificate from the old coachman that stated they were leaving Tarot City, and then he took Lucia in the opposite direction and walked to the end of the carriage team.

"If you don't go in, where will you wait for me?"

"It's just outside the city."

Lucia said, pointing to the city wall.

"I'll just take a nap here... I also have the sleeping bag Aunt Fang bought for me!"

Unlike the bustling streets inside, the outside of the royal city is quite deserted.

Apart from the lowly servants who were unable to enter the city, there were only horses resting and eating grass.

Before coming here, Xia Li had imagined that if there were shops or merchants stationed outside the city, he would not have to go into the city at all.

However, no one wanted to stay outside the city gate.

"It shouldn't take me that long," Xia Li said coldly, "I'll be out soon, in the afternoon at the latest."

"That's even better!"

Lucia smiled and patted Xia Li's face.

"I'm just staying here!" she said with a bright smile.

The evil dragon is still as optimistic and cheerful as ever.

Whenever humans' locations restricted her, it was Xia Li who felt sorry for her, and she herself didn't feel anything at all.

Anyway...

That's what dragons are like.

If she can’t get in, then she can still have fun outside.

Xia Li took her little hand and walked to the end of the carriage.

The only human being around here who could communicate with Lucia was the little girl who had given them a bath.

The little girl was the old coachman's servant. They had no identity to enter the royal city, so they could only stay in the open space outside the city gate with most of the carriages.

"Little girl, what's your name?"

Xia Li came to the little girl.

The little girl was wearing gray linen clothes and her face was dirty and covered with mud.

Seeing Xia Li coming, she shrank back behind her mother timidly.

After seeing the familiar older sister beside Xia Li, she poked her head out slightly and mustered up the courage to speak to the young nobleman in front of her.

"My name is Mina..."

"I'll give you two silver coins. Can you help me look after my sister?"

Xia Li bent down patiently and spoke in a gentle tone.

Lucia beside him puffed out her cheeks.

Why is Xia Li talking to girls outside so casually?

Although the person on the other side looks like a minor, minors are more dangerous...

It's illegal!
Xia Li was a playboy, and the evil dragon was very troubled by him.

She secretly grabbed Xia Li's big hand, squeezed his palm hard, and drew circles on his palm with her fingers.

"Two silver coins..."

The little girl's eyes sparkled in the morning light.

Two silver coins were a huge sum of money for her.

While the old driver was unloading the goods, Mina held the silver coins in both hands and secretly put them into her mother's pocket.

"Thank you, big brother...If my sister is bullied, I will protect her!"

She straightened her thin back with a sense of responsibility.

Xia Li smiled.

He is very rich now. It's not that he doesn't want to give the little girl too much money, but giving her too much would bring her into trouble.

"No, no, no. If there is any danger, you should hide behind your sister. You just need to play with your sister for half a day. Keep an eye on her and don't let her run around."

Xia Li whispered to the little girl, and then stuffed two candies into her hand.

Mina smiled, nodded vigorously, and agreed to Xia Li's request.

Xia Li then pulled Lucia out from beside him and asked Elong to hand her over like handing a kindergarten kid to a teacher.

This place is under the woods fifty meters away from the entrance of the royal capital. There is no sun, and Xia Li has enough water and snacks in his bag.

It shouldn't be a problem for Lucia to kill a few hours here.

After settling the evil dragon, Xia Li no longer hesitated. He discussed with the coachman for a while and followed them into the city.

"I'll coax you back when I come back."

He rubbed the dragon's head and spoke in a gentler tone.

"Humph."

Lucia pouted.

I originally wanted to be jealous and angry.

But after thinking about it, not wanting to make Xia Li worry, she had no choice but to stand on tiptoe and kiss the wet mark on Xia Li's cheek.

"I want to eat delicious food, go in and buy it for me!"

"Okay, I promise to complete the task."

Xia Li put the Demon-Exorcist Sword on his back and pinched Lucia's soft little face.

Only then did he reluctantly follow the driver and blend into the crowd.

There are also certain risks in leaving Lucia outside.

If a passing magician were to notice her identity, it would probably cause quite a commotion.

But this is a factor that cannot be actively avoided.

Moreover, with Lucia's strength, she would not be defeated by a human magician.

A pure-blooded dragon is equivalent to a ninth-level great magician in the human world.

There are only two magicians of this level in the entire empire, so how could Lucia easily meet one?

If they really meet, Xia Li will come back with sword in a minute.

After being fully unlocked, the magic power of the Demon-Repelling Sword is the highest level in the world.
