Warhammer Wizard

Chapter 600: Lotus Palace Dinner

After a while, the castle arrived.

Ren was sitting in the carriage, looking forward through the wooden planks.

Fubadon Castle covers an area of ​​more than two square kilometers. The overall layout is roughly rectangular. The 20-meter-high city wall can allow six horses to run in parallel. There is a tower every 100 meters. The magic runes on the wall are in the night. It glows faintly in the middle, forming a huge protective array.

The city wall is surrounded by rivers more than ten meters deep, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

As far as I can see, there are Rick's guards everywhere, and teams of patrols patrol the city wall, leaving no dead ends at all.

The carriage stopped in front of the city gate. After some communication, it was released. It passed the drawbridge and entered the tall and wide city gate.

Suddenly, he saw a huge square.

The square that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people is all paved with white magic alloy, and there is a bright silver avenue in the middle of the square, which leads directly to the magnificent palace opposite.

This is the Rick Palace!

Right in front of the palace are first-level white stone steps, there are hundreds of steps in total, just like climbing a mountain, and finally build a wide foundation platform at a high place. Carved with exquisite paintings, they together hold up the heavy palace dome, and the solemnity and majesty blows at the face.

The carriage walked for a short distance on the boulevard in the square, then turned left.

There are buildings on the left and right sides of the square, but they are not as majestic as the Rick Palace. Passing through several high-walled corridors, the carriage drives into a beautiful large garden. The roadside is lined with green trees and full of fresh flowers. , beautiful.

One-third of this garden is a small lake, with countless lotus flowers growing on the water surface, like a green blanket covering it.

In the late autumn, there are still many lotus flowers in full bloom, fragrant.

The eldest son of Emperor Alpha, who is the second emperor of the empire who succeeded to the throne, was very fond of lotus flowers, so he had a man-made lake dug out of Falberden Castle for the purpose of planting lotus flowers.

The building complex by the lake is the emperor's place to play and enjoy flowers.

Hence the name of the Lotus Palace.

More than a thousand years ago, the imperial family was extinct, the imperial power fell into the hands of the Supreme Council, the Rick Palace was sealed, and the administrative power of the country was entrusted to the consul. This lotus palace, located in the southwest corner of Falberden City, is used as the official residence of the consul for daily office and residence.

The entire lotus palace occupies only one-fifth of the total area of ​​​​Fubetten Castle. In other areas of the castle, no one is allowed to enter except for the patrolling palace of the guards.

The Rick Palace is also a forbidden place for the consul.

More than 300 years ago, there was a consul who was drunk. I don’t know if he thought too much to reveal his nature, or if he went crazy after drinking, he ran out of the Lotus Palace and wandered around the castle, ignoring the praetorian’s dissuasion and breaking into the Rick Palace to visit. He was reported to the Supreme Council, and was dismissed overnight, becoming the laughing stock of the entire empire.

The carriage was still driving in the Lotus Palace, but Ren was distracted.

The Lotus Palace is not only a palace, but also has dozens of fully functional office buildings. Although it only accounts for less than 20% of the entire castle, it is also occupied by a third of the lotus lake, but it is also larger than most castles in the empire. Big, even Gen La Morgan is far behind.

After passing through the guards of the imperial guards, the carriage finally stopped in front of a five-storey welcome building.

The whole building is brightly lit, and expensive crystal lamps disperse the darkness, and the lake surface not far away can be seen clearly, and you can enjoy the lotus at night.

Renn saw the consul Gneus Chikro in the car.

Gneus was dressed in casual clothes, with a tall and sturdy body, a sword slung around his waist. He didn't know that Ren was observing himself across the carriage, and his eyes fell on the Ultramarine next to the carriage. Although he concealed it well, his eyes still showed surprise and solemnity.

Before leaving, Ren purchased a batch of three-ring "breath-holding" talismans, and brought them to the two teams of Ultramarines accompanying them to cover up their legendary aura.

Ordinary people can't see through the breath-holding technique, but Gneus, the holy sword demon swordsman, saw it at a glance.

All twelve Ultramarines are legends!

Legend is not a weed on the roadside, any one is very precious, even if it is not a spellcaster, just an ordinary legendary extraordinary person, but also has his own pride, it is difficult to recruit. As the most elite extraordinary army of the empire, the Rick Guards have only more than 30 legends in total. They are given extremely high treatment and power, and they also worry about their loyalty. They will leave if they are dissatisfied.

These barbarian warriors, who are hidden in heavy armor, hold huge soul guns and are powerful. At first glance, they know that they are not ordinary legends. They are willing to act as guards for Renne. Why?

Gnieus couldn't understand.

At this time, he saw Ren coming from the carriage, and immediately looked away, saying hello very enthusiastically: "Speaker Ren, it's been hard work all the way. Welcome to the Lotus Palace."

"Your Excellency Consul." Ren also smiled, "Good evening."

"Good good..."

Gnieus was very happy, he stepped forward and patted Ren on the shoulder very closely, turned back and smiled at the people who greeted him together: "Everyone, this is the Earl of Glamorgan, the Speaker of Wezeland, the Empire. The youngest hero."

"I have seen Speaker Rennes."

"Lord Earl."

"Meet the Duke of Augustus."

All those present were high-ranking and powerful people, and they all saluted to Ren, with different expressions on their faces. Ren also nodded in response, showing an approachable attitude.

"Your Excellency Consul, won't you introduce me?" Ren said with a smile.

"Okay." Gnaeus immediately pointed to a silver-haired but spirited old man, "This is my Minister of War, Viscount Rosella Leadsom."

The eye of the soul saw that Rosella was a legendary middle-level wizard, specializing in elementalists.

It is a little surprising that the military minister in charge of the four major legions and the three major knights of the empire is actually a wizard.

"Viscount Leadsom." Ren said hello.

"I have seen Speaker Rennes." Rosella returned the salute without being humble or arrogant.

"This is my Chancellor of the Exchequer, Ms. Ashley." The second Gneus introduced was a beautiful woman, only in her early thirties, with a slender figure, a dignified manner, and long dark red hair. Coiled on her head, wearing a luxurious embroidered long dress, she has both the style of a mature woman and the vitality of a young girl, exuding extraordinary charm all over her body.

Eighteenth-level natural disaster warlock!

Ren immediately thought of the sorceress from Eratossa College. Unsurprisingly, the Chancellor of the Exchequer must have come from that place. They are always attracted by power, and use their beauty and strength as capital to enter the power center to gain influence.

The ability of this sorceress is probably not only in the bed, otherwise Gneus would not let her take charge of the financial power of the empire.

"I met Ms. Ashley."

Ren stepped forward and leaned forward, kissing in the air on the back of the sorceress's stretched out Bai Nen's hand.

Ashley closed her hands and covered her mouth with a chuckle. She looked at Ren's face quite boldly, and said with a smile, "Sir Count is as handsome as he was rumored to be."

"Thank you for your compliment, Madam." Ren nodded reservedly.

"Ren is young and promising, and the entire empire can't find a man with more prospects than him." Gneus teased: "Ashley, if you can take Renn, you won't have to worry about it in your life."

The men next to him all laughed.

"I don't have such great ability. I'm afraid Lord Earl can't look down on me." Ashley said so, but her eyes kept rolling on Ren's body, which was obviously wrong.

Ren is now scared and in no mood to hook up with other women.

So he pretended to be ignorant of style.

Gnieus immediately sensed his attitude, and turned to introduce the other two. One is his chief of staff, Baron Duberstein, the big butler of the Palace of the Netherlands, and the last one is the commander of the Rick Guards, whose name is Heskto. people.

Ren glanced at Heskotdo twice.

The eyes of the soul cannot see through the other party, indicating that this is a saint-level extraordinary person. Ren sensed a familiar breath on him, a dragon knight with the body of a real dragon!

Gneus introduced that Hestock has an old black dragon, and his extraordinary profession is a black knight who masters the power of shadows. He was promoted to the holy rank decades ago, and he is still at the twentieth level now.

With his powerful strength, Hesktor firmly controls the Rick Praetorian Guard.

It seems that he felt the breath of Ren's real dragon body. He was also a dragon knight, so Hesktor, who looked unsmiling, rarely showed kindness to Ren.

After the introduction, Gneus invited Ren to enter the banquet hall on the fifth floor.

The view here is wide and you can see the whole lotus lake.

There was only one table in the spacious hall and no other guests, which made Renn understand that tonight was just a small private dinner.

The servants of the Lotus Palace brought delicious food and wine like water, and soon the table was filled.

Gnieus' attitude was very casual, telling a few jokes from time to time, or some of his experiences in the past few hundred years of his life.

Ren agreed with the sound, and it was harmonious.

He knew very well what Gnieus wanted to express. The three ministers, the chief of staff, and the commander of the Guard were all his absolute confidants and could be trusted.

On the first day, Gnieus put out his confidant team in order to show his sincerity and hope to get his full support.

These are senior ministers with high positions of authority. They have been ups and downs in the political arena of the empire for many years. After more than ten years, Gnieus abdicates. Whether Renne wants to compete for the throne of the consul or succeeds in reaching the top, these people can be relied on. right arm.

Ren understood and accepted the kindness of Gneus.

All of the people present were smart people. They sensed Gneus' attitude and followed the flow. They got close to Ren, intentionally or unintentionally, and established a good relationship in advance.

The two sides hit it off, and the host and guests enjoyed it.

After a dinner party of more than two hours, Ren had initially integrated into this small circle of power. The Eye of the Soul accurately grasped everyone's personality and preferences, and it was easy to win their favor.

Even Ren was aware of the closeness and distance between these people.

For example, the one Gneus trusted most was his chief of staff, Baron Duberstein, and others were slightly worse; the military minister, Rosella, and the finance minister, Ashley, probably because they were both spellcasters and believed in the goddess of magic, they could Explore magical knowledge, so the relationship is relatively close, but there is no love between men and women.

Ashley and Gneus are also innocent.

Home Secretary Amber and Chief of Staff Durberstein appear to be friendly on the surface, but they have a grievance in private and are hostile to each other, but they dare not show it.

The commander-in-chief of the Guards, Hesktor, has an interest in Ashley. He is not so loyal to Gneus, it is more like a partnership.

Every time Ashley looked at herself, her emotions fluctuated violently, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

After drinking and eating, everyone came to the spacious balcony to enjoy the lotus.

Ren noticed that Gneus' eyes were mostly not on the lotus flowers, but from time to time he looked across the lake to the magnificent Rick Palace in the distance.

The Eye of the Soul also saw that Gnieus was in a complicated mood.

Yearning, longing and unwillingness.

He couldn't help sighing inwardly, people's ambitions and desires really have no end. Gneus sits on the throne of the consul, which is a position that countless people dream of, but he is not satisfied and wants to climb to a higher place.

The power of the consul comes from the Supreme Council. In managing such a huge empire, the power in daily life is even higher than that of the Holy Soul Wizard who ignores the common affairs.

Only the emperor has more power than the consul!

However, this is almost impossible.

The Supreme Council is like a mountain of infinite weight, always pressing on the head of the consul, making people dare not take a step across the thunder pool.

The Rick Palace, which is close at hand, is out of reach.

Not to mention the overthrow of the Supreme Council, even the slightest hint of a thought will bring disaster to Gneus.

Seemingly aware of Ren's gaze, Gneus suddenly sighed: "Alas..."

"Why is Your Excellency Archon sighing?" Ren asked ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ everyone's attention was attracted.

Gnieus looked around, shook his head with a hint of alcohol, and said, "There are no outsiders here, there is nothing to hide, and I am not afraid of your jokes." He turned to look at the Rick Palace again, "When it comes to me Location, who can't have an idea? I heard that there is a golden throne in Rick Palace..."

Chief of Staff Duberstein quickly advised: "Sir, be careful."

Military Minister Rosella immediately threw a soundproof force field.

The others looked at the floating city high in the sky in the west, in disbelief, for fear of which elder Nether was casting a spell at the right moment, listening to or watching the situation here.

Ren's expression also changed slightly.

It’s good to keep this kind of words in your heart. Once you say it, it will spread out if you are unlucky. Not to mention that Gnieus is re-elected, he may not be able to finish his term.

Gnieus's sense of drinking was instantly sober, and he was taken aback by himself, and said repeatedly, "I'm sorry, I made a mistake."

"It's okay." Ren waved his hand.

Taking advantage of the soundproofing force field, he changed the subject and asked, "Your Excellency Archon, have the other members of the supervision team arrived? Do you know who the Holy Soul Wizards sent, and when will they officially work to audit the Nether floating city? accounts?"
