In the druids’ calendar, the beginning of each year is not the same as the public’s perception. www.vodtw.com They divide the year into four parts-the time of awakening, the time of prosperity, the time of abundance and the time of silence, and the time of awakening each year is the beginning of a new year.

This is the earliest prototype of the seasons on the Mycroft continent. The four concepts of spring, summer, autumn and winter are all derived from the druids’ calendars, but their calculation methods are not fixed, but are adapted to local conditions. For example, in the north, silence At this time, the winter will be greatly extended, and the beginning of the year, which is the time of awakening, will be delayed to April or even May, but the imperial capital of the same period is already about to enter a period of prosperity.

The Northern Empire is not a single-ethnic traditional country. Its people include dwarves, elves, gnomes, halflings, vampires, cavemen and other various ethnic minorities. Its festivals are also from different sources. Druids The customs also occupy a place in it. The time of prosperity means that the force of nature in the year will reach the peak at this time. Therefore, many banquets will be held at this time, and the celebration of the annihilation of the orcs is also determined by this. By this time.

"A city gate is guarded by more than a hundred city guards."

In the middle of the night, the imperial capital was still brightly lit, and the obvious light could still be seen from a distance of several kilometers. At the end of the endless stairs, in front of the white city wall, Joshua looked with interest at the gorgeous decoration with ancient times. The breath of the city gate, his gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the rock, and he could see the little life fire behind it. He easily counted the number of soldiers on the city wall and the city gate, and judged their respective work through their actions: There are alchemy equipment, all kinds of artillery and magic arrow towers, which are really tightly guarded."

This is justified. As the capital of a country, no matter how strict the guards are, it is normal. And when the three soldiers were stationed, the guards at the gate of the city had already spotted them. Because the sun has been set for a long time now, As time entered the night, the guards became vigilant, and they took the initiative to explore the origins of these three people.

I have to say that the eyesight of these imperial guards is better than their counterparts in other cities. When the leader of the team saw Joshua, he trembled and immediately realized that the strength of the opponent was definitely not his own. Measurable, after the fearful and respectful questioning, the guards who got the answer shouted: "Lord Earl, please come in." Then they gave up the closed entrance.

It stands to reason that they should also check the family crest or other identity proof, but an ordinary city guard recognized Joshua’s face, and everyone was afraid to talk to the soldier a little more, so this Nothing is over

The gates of the holy city are spectacular even at night. Thirty-six marble stone pillars support a long corridor, and the relief sculptures on the stone pillars depict the scene when the city was built. Due to the protection of magic, they have gone through hundreds of years. The wind and rain did not have any peeling and discoloration, and it was as white and flawless as the year, which is amazing.

After passing through the city gate, it is the outer city of the imperial capital. Although Joshua was from the Far South in his previous life, the imperial capital of the northern empire has been there a few times. Teleportation and transit, so the soldiers know that the Sanshan Holy City is divided into three parts, one is civilians, merchants and various public facilities-such as Datuguan, the outer city where the big arena is located, the other is the city hall and you guys. In the inner city where the noble residence is located, the last one is Morlai Palace where His Majesty the Emperor lived.

As he saw outside the city, the imperial capital at night was still crowded with dim lights, and he stayed in the outer streets with his two weapons for a while. After observing the daily life of the people in the imperial capital, Joshua He headed directly towards the inner city, where the Radcliffe family's properties in the Imperial Capital were located.

Passing through the main road of the imperial capital, the flow of people is increasing. Although the celebration banquet has not yet begun, the joyous atmosphere has begun to spread. Various flags are hung in the streets and [special bargains] are placed in front of taverns and hotels. Wooden sign, until this time, Joshua vaguely felt from the side how the complete eradication of the orcs was so important to the people of the empire who had suffered from the invasion.

Shops, squares, and fountains above them. There are smiling people everywhere. Under the night lights, Joshua smiles naturally. In this bustling street, he also feels happy. After all, because of the weather and temperature in the Northland, no matter when there will be such a large crowd on the street, this makes the warriors who like lively feeling a little uncomfortable.

And just when he was about to change his mind, first strolling around the outer city, and then going to the inner city after a while, Joshua suddenly felt a familiar breath approaching.

"Oh?"

After stopping, Joshua frowned and felt it for a while, and then his brows stretched out: "So it's them, they noticed that I'm here so soon?"

Ying and Rin, who also stopped, have already put on a gray cashmere cloak at this time. This is not because the temperature is too low, but because the concentration of mana in the imperial capital is too high, and the spiritual body of the divine machine will naturally come out. The reaction produced fluorescence, so the two of them simply covered their bodies to avoid arousing the crowd around them.

Ying and Rin didn't care about the sudden stop of the host. Anyway, for them, this trip was just a mere leisure trip, even if it was a banquet, it was just incidental. What the host wanted to do, then do.

After a period of time, a carriage came slowly from the other end of the street.

This is a black wagon made of black-grained cloud wood. It has no eye-catching appearance, but its value far exceeds the luxury carriage used by the rich to show off their wealth. The black-grained cloud wood has a strong resistance to magic. , It grows on the mountain tops with dense water elements. There is no possibility of artificial cultivation in a short time, and its value cannot be measured by money.

Generally speaking, this material is used to make precious magic glue, which is applied to various alchemy equipment and adamantine shields that require high-precision to ensure that the magic in the atmosphere cannot interfere with the operation of the equipment. There is a layer of anti-magic coating, and this carriage is built with it, it can't be described as luxury, and Joshua's knowledge can't help but be amazed, feeling the owner's wealth.

The carriage moved slowly, and finally came to the soldier. Before the groom could stop it, the door opened. Joshua looked up, but saw the faces of two acquaintances.

Brandon Kaos, and Nostradamus.

"My friend, Joshua Van Radcliffe."

The blond man who already had two daughters got out of the carriage altogether. The corners of his mouth were turned up, his hands were opened, and he laughed and said to the soldier: "I felt the breath of the Azure Orb a few hours ago. I think you should be coming, but there is no one in the search teleportation array. Teacher Nostradamus said he can find you, so I came with him."

"It seems that you have indeed found the right direction."

Joshua stepped forward and hugged this long-lost friend. He smiled and said, "I have come all the way from Dove City. The scenery on the road is very beautiful. This is not a teleportation. I can understand it."

The two exchanged a few words, and on the side, the white-haired old mage got out of the carriage. Hearing Brandon's words, the old man shrugged, and then looked carefully at Joshua’s clothes, with a hint of wit. Said: "I won't say too many greetings, my deputy principal... The golden mage in the Ural Fortress is my former student, Joshua. Listening to him, it seems that you have been assassinated by that group of reptiles again? "

After getting the affirmative answer from the warrior, Nostradamus looked cold. He frowned and said, "He repeatedly attacked the imperial nobles, and the five-color dragons are actually crazy to this point. What is the chaos? Mind..."

"teacher."

Before he finished speaking, Brandon interrupted Nostradamus: "Let's go to the association to talk about this kind of thing later."

With that said, he also looked around the streets. Although the crowds on the streets were not dense, they were indeed full of people. Under this circumstance, it was a bit too risky to talk about chaos.

"you are right."

And the old mage also noticed the impropriety of his behavior just now, and coughed, Nostradamus shook his head and said: "I have been discussing this issue with the group of guys in the association just now, and my head is a little confused... Qiao Xiu Ya, are you not going to sit in the Royal Mage Association?"

Speaking of this, the old mage showed a smile: "Whether it’s the Sea Abyss token or the Crazy Dragon Virus, you have helped us a lot. Many people plan to visit you. If they give gifts, you can Don't refuse."

"It's no problem. I'm not a polite person."

Seeing a familiar friend in the Imperial Capital, Joshua felt in a good mood. It is not a big deal to go to the Royal Mage Association. Of course, he will promise: "So, let's go now?"

"set off."

Brandon is also a vigorous and resolute person, three people, plus two magic machines wearing cashmere cloaks ~www.novelmtl.com~ just like this and got directly into the carriage. Driven by the carriage driver, the black carriage slowly moved inward. In the city, the Royal Mage Association will go.

On the top of the carriage is an exquisite crystal magic lamp, which represents the bright runes rising and falling at the wick, exuding white brilliance, and the interior decoration style of the carriage comes from the Eastern Plain 300 years ago, during the reign of the Qi Yao Mages Council. , The exquisite drawing of the stars and the runes representing them are scattered throughout the carriage, as if one is in the stars.

The carriage was also equipped with coffee and other drinks. The two fighters, Joshua and Brandon, naturally picked up a bottle of each. I don’t know what era. Anyway, the cheap wine started to toast, and Nostradamus was there. Yinghe poured two cups of milk for them with annoyed eyes, then filled a cup of coffee by herself and drank.

The matters discussed by the three men naturally had nothing to do with the wind and the wind. After a period of time, the topic turned to the Dragon Calamity in the Far South. Joshua easily pointed out Brandon and Nostradamer based on his own personal experience in the previous life. Sis made several misjudgments of the situation-he would not have any humble thoughts. The emotions and praises of the two men and the soldiers accepted all, and the atmosphere gradually became warmer.

But at this moment, all three of them frowned, and the carriage suddenly became quiet. An ominous premonition spread in their hearts, but no one could guess the origin.

-Boom! ! ! ! !

Just like this, a huge explosion suddenly appeared on the east side of the city beyond everyone's expectation, accompanied by screams and exclamations from the crowd on the street, and the original lively and cheerful atmosphere was instantly replaced by panic.

Then, a huge alarm sounded throughout the city.
