MTL - Lord Highlander-Chapter 1581 1567. Imperial City 3
Originally, Suldak had already entered the lobby of the hotel, but when Malakom said that the person who had just walked out of the hotel was actually Quentin Busman.
The young duke who inherited the old duke of Ryan Busman, but surrendered the Warsaw plane to others.
Turned around and stood by the glass window at the entrance of the hall, quietly watching the young man board a gorgeous magic caravan surrounded by a group of nobles.
The young Duke's figure is a bit skinny, and he can be seen to be very young, but his eye sockets are sunken and he has heavy dark circles. Judging from his mental state, he should have drunk some spiritual magic potions, and he seems a little too excited.
Wearing an aristocratic dress, but no duke badge on the chest...
For Quentin Busman, Suldak didn't have any bad feelings in his heart, but he felt that he was a poor man who was not worthy of sympathy. His current position was already below one person and above ten thousand people. The Grand Duke of Sen Province can be regarded as the local emperor, but unfortunately he was not well prepared when he inherited the title. In order to keep the title stable, he had to give up the cake of the Warsaw plane...
In fact, the Warsaw plane is a delicious cake for other dukes, but it is a cancer for the Busman family.
In the past ten years, the Busman family has devoted almost all of the family lord's army to this battlefield. Unfortunately, after the lord's army was bit by bit eaten away by the evil ghost army, the situation of the entire plane became somewhat out of control.
At the very beginning, Ryan Busman not only invited his friend, Duke Newman's Allied Forces of Bernard, but also invited the Royal Knights of the Angibold Royal Family from the imperial capital.
The most dazzling star in the imperial capital, the Prince of Wales personally led the Royal Constructed Knights into the Warsaw plane. At the beginning of that period, the Royal Constructed Knights had not been able to open the situation in Warsaw, but with the Royal Constructed Knights in Ken The Pato River Basin severely damaged the demon army.
Since then, the evil ghost army has begun to go down the road...
It's a pity that Duke Ryan Bousman failed to seize this opportunity, and even offended the Prince of Wales who was caught in the battle for the royal throne in the imperial capital. With the withdrawal of the Royal Constructed Knights from the Warsaw plane, other warsaw planes The lord army suddenly fell into the quagmire of war.
Duke Ryan Busman is therefore able to bite the bullet and continue to absorb other lord armies.
Duke Newman has always been very persistent in wanting to capture Moyunling. It is also because in the war agreement signed with Duke Ryan Busman, after the Bena Army acquired Handanal County, it could only go to the Gandar Er Mountains and beyond. Expansion of the vast unknown area in the north.
In order to be able to open up a larger territory, Duke Newman had no choice but to think of a way to fight the tough bone of Moyunling.
It is a pity that the two battles of Moyunling ended in failure. The first heavy cavalry regiment and catapults advanced towards the mountain collar, and the second time a swordsman regiment was assembled with a heavy armored infantry regiment. Unfortunately, they failed to enter the southern foot of Moyunling. The canyon, where today it is named 'Dark Canyon'.
Suldak is currently building a city wall on the north side of the canyon, which can be regarded as completely turning the canyon into a West Route Army camp.
Speaking of which, Suldak even wants to thank Duke Quentin Busman, if not for their family's inaction on the Warsaw plane, he would not be able to swallow such a big piece of cake in the Warsaw plane.
The current battle on the Moyunling Highlands, to put it bluntly, is that in order to rescue Duke Newman's Bena Army, the Bena Army has found two reinforcements with the most potential in the Bena Province, and they are responsible for the entire process. Material supply is the condition, please go to the Warsaw plane for reinforcements...
In order to allow the Bena Legion to withdraw from Handanar County smoothly, the military department and Duke Newman spent a lot of money.
It is necessary to know that in any plane war, the lords lead the army to go out, and the supplies and military supplies consumed along the way are all borne by themselves.
That is to say, if you win a war, you can earn a lot of money, but if you lose a war, you will lose all your pants.
But this time Suldak was on the Moyunling Highlands, and he was completely eating the military rations of the Bena Army, but all the gains from the war went into Suldak's pocket.
Originally, Suldak planned to hand over this batch of loot to the military department, but later found out that the military department didn't know the exact amount of this part of the loot, and they didn't even plan to confiscate it. .
This time Suldak led the West Route Army to fight against the Moyunling Highlands, and there was almost no cost. However, in the past six months, the number of evil ghost fighters killed back and forth (including the evil ghosts killed by the Aegrod tribe) ) There are also nearly one hundred thousand or so.
In addition, Suldak also has a lot of money to obtain magic herbs and magic beast materials from the Aegrod tribe.
The merit exchange list has also been continuously providing Suldak with black magic crystals.
Now he can successfully form the fourth and fifth Constructed Knights, and the Busman family and the noble lords of Handanar City have all helped him a lot.
Suldak asked Malakom to purchase a thousand sets of magic pattern structures in the imperial capital, but actually only needed 75,000 magic crystals.
And the unidentified magic spar sold by Suldak on the Moyunling Highland is 25 gold coins each. If it is converted into ordinary magic spar, one unidentified magic spar can be exchanged for three ordinary magic spar, In other words, the deal between Suldak and the Marquis of Worcester Caesar was considered to have collected the military expenses for the formation of the Constructed Knights.
Now that Suldak has met Duke Quentin Busman in the imperial capital, he naturally needs to pay extra attention.
But looking at his body hollowed out by alcohol, Suldak could only hide behind the glass window and shake his head. The normal life span of people in the Green Empire is about one hundred years old, but various bad habits in life make people The life expectancy is greatly shortened. Generally speaking, ordinary people can live to be considered a long life if they can live to eighty years old.
The fighters have made breakthroughs in their physique. If they take good care of themselves when they get old, they can probably live to be one hundred and fifty years old.
If warriors can become rank-three masters during their practice, their lifespan can reach almost two hundred years.
But magicians are weak in body. If they need to prolong their lives, generally speaking, they need to swallow potions continuously after the age of sixty. How long a magician can live depends entirely on how many potions he has in his hand...
Suldak saw Duke Quentin Bussman in the imperial capital. The young Duke should be in his early twenties. He is young and rich, and he is the overlord of a party. Naturally, he is very popular with women, but unfortunately he doesn't know much about it. Restraint, so that his body was hollowed out by wine and sex, and now he seems to have started taking potions.
Once the potion is started, it is impossible to stop, and the user will have a strong sense of dependence on the potion.
"There is still a lot of mess in the Evelson province, why is he in the imperial capital?" Suldak asked a little puzzled.
Malakom stood behind Suldak, his eyes fell on the gorgeous magic caravan, and he smiled at Suldak and said:
"Until his son is born, he will probably stay in the imperial capital!"
Then he paused, looked around, and found that there was no one else nearby, so he spoke quickly:
"His Majesty Charles will not rest assured that a grand duke without any heirs will return to his territory to mess around. He needs to learn how to manage the territory here, and he also needs to establish a marriage relationship with other provincial grand dukes, and marry a man with a family background. My wife will be of great help to him in consolidating the industry in Evelson Province..."
After saying this, Malakom thought of the history of Suldak’s family history. This is the route. He glanced at Suldak with a little worry. He didn’t mean to be sarcastic...
Suldak kept his eyes on Quentin Busman, and didn't notice what Malakom just said, but asked casually:
"So his first priority is to have a son?"
Malakom almost choked on his saliva:
"Ahem, you can indeed say that."
"I think his physical condition is a bit poor. It's really not easy to have a son!" Suldak withdrew his gaze, turned and walked towards the front desk of the hotel lobby, whispering to Malakom.
"Regarding this point, I think you may be underestimating those rich and noble ladies. Regardless of whether Duke Quentin Busman can do it or not, he will definitely have a son when he needs it." Malakom responded in a low voice. road.
Suldak got the hotel room key and followed the hotel maid upstairs. An ordinary suite in this hotel actually needs two gold coins a night, which is simply outrageously expensive.
Malakom sent Suldak upstairs, and kept talking about the romantic history of some wealthy ladies in the imperial capital.
It is said that out of the 16 pages of the Imperial Capital Magic Newspaper, nearly half of the pages are devoted to this topic.
When Suldak came to the door of the room, the businessman Malakom did not follow into the room, but waved to Suldak behind him. Unexpectedly, two beautiful and young men came from the stairs in the corridor. Girls, one with blond hair and one with black hair, their skin is whiter than milk.
The girl with blond hair even has a bit of elf mixed blood, her ears are thin, crystal clear, and slightly pointed.
Other signs are completely human, this kind of elf hybrid is not even called...
Suldak carefully looked at the two slim girls in gauze skirts, stretched out his index finger and tapped Malakom's forehead, and walked into the room without saying a word.
Leaving Malakom and the two girls outside the door...
Malakom was not depressed or uneasy because of this, but waved to the two girls with a relaxed expression, and led them down the stairs.
Suldak walked into the living room of the room. In the living room, there was only a desk placed against the wall, a set of sofas and coffee tables. There seemed to be a small terrace by the floor-to-ceiling windows. The door of the bedroom was next to the door of the bathroom. with.
Aphrodite pushed the door out of the bedroom and walked out. She was wearing a loose long dress that she would only wear at home, and she was holding a cup of steaming black tea in her hand.
Suldak walked to the terrace and opened the curtains in the living room. At night in the imperial capital, the starry sky and the whole city were brightly lit.
Especially there is a huge shadow in the night sky above the head, and the edge of the shadow is extremely bright. It looks like a strange circle in the night sky, which should be the location of the floating imperial city.
"The night here in the imperial capital is not bad." Suldak said.
The imperial capital at night looks more lively than during the day, probably because it is too hot during the day, and the night is cooler, and everyone is willing to come to the street.
Aphrodite walked to Suldak's side and stood with him to enjoy the night view here.
"It's a pity that we can't see Weiyang Lake here. I heard that all the manors beside Weiyang Lake in the imperial capital are the mansions of the dukes of various provinces. Every manor is built like a palace. The people who can live there are Greene. The real ruler of the empire."
Aphrodite narrowed her eyes and said.
Reaching out his hand to embrace Aphrodite's soft shoulders, Suldak didn't speak.
"Do you want to go around the imperial capital tomorrow?" Aphrodite twisted her body, looking for a comfortable position to snuggle into Suldak's arms, and asked in a low voice.
Aphrodite added another sentence: "In fact, we can go to Weiyang Lake for a walk. I heard that the lakeside avenue over there is very beautiful!"
Seeing her purple eyes full of anticipation, Suldak shook his head, and said decisively: "Tomorrow morning, I will repair this 'Sheffter Stamb', and after repairing it, I will go directly to the teleportation hall and return to the Bay. Na City."
"Why don't you stay a few more days?" Aphrodite asked curiously. "Don't you like the prosperity here?"
Suldak shook his head slightly, but his eyes were exceptionally sober, and he wasn't even distracted by the coquettish look in Aphrodite's eyes.
He stood beside the terrace, holding on to the marble railings of the terrace with both hands. These railings were polished very finely and smoothly.
On both sides of the terrace are Roman pillars about one person thick. These Roman pillars have reliefs with the background of the demon war. Fighting angels, human knights trapped in flames...
Suldak glanced at the busy traffic on the street below, and said casually:
"This is a city full of power and desire. The prosperity here shows everyone the beauty of the world, but the prosperity here can only be maintained by drawing resources from many planes. I am worried that I will stay here for a long time. , the whole person will be contaminated with those things, and then it may not be easy to find yourself again."
Aphrodite almost pressed her upper body against the railing, leaned out of the railing and looked down. The night wind blew her long hair into a mess, almost covering her face.
"Do you know how attractive this place is for a succubus...I think I must have dreamed about this place!"
Suldak couldn't see her expression...
However, Suldak didn't waver at what Aphrodite said.
There was a sharp cry in the night sky. It was the cry of the royal eagle and lion. The sound was a bit harsh, but it felt nothing to Suldak.
Aphrodite's complexion was a little ugly. She supported the marble Roman column with one hand, and rested her other hand on her forehead, looking a little dizzy.
"I'm a little dizzy, go back and lie down for a while..."
