I, Jianhao, infinite flow

"It's not so much that I'm nervous when I face two old people, it's better to say that having a cat man sitting next to me makes me a little more nervous."

"What meow?!"

1828 Terrible Conversations

The process of rushing was still a bit boring, but because of the special dragon carriage, the speed was faster than expected.

"I can see the Crystal Palace."

On this day, Mycrotov, who was staring out the window, suddenly said so.

At the same time, other people including Yun Tian followed his words and looked out of the window.

In the distance along the route of the dragon carriage, a huge building towering towards the sky could gradually be seen clearly.

That is the imperial city - Crystal Palace in the capital of the Holy Phrakian Empire 'Lupugana'.

This building corresponds to the royal city in the capital of Lugnica, and its walls, castle walls, and even the castle are all made of magic stones.

It is a majestic building that highlights the abundant magic ore resources of the empire and symbolizes the absolute power of the emperor.

That magic stone castle, just like the literal meaning, is a 'palace made of crystal'.

"Although I have heard rumors, this castle is really tasteless and disgusting~"

Most people will be shocked by it when they see it for the first time, but Phyllis is obviously not one of them.

He stuck out his tongue and gave a rather negative comment.

Julius next to him is the opposite, but the focus is not on the appearance, but on a more essential meaning.

"A castle made of all-body magic stones, if you think about it, you know it won't be a simple pile. It is undoubtedly realized after careful calculation and superb technology."

Ordinary magic stone crafts can have special effects, so what about a whole castle?

Just thinking about it is enough to startle.

In response, Mycrotov stroked his beard and said with a smile:

"Julius is right. The Crystal Palace has many functions and is the pinnacle of the magic stone craftsmanship of the empire."

According to rumors, this crystal palace has the ability to amplify magic, which can increase the power of magic to thousands of times the original.

But rumors are rumors after all, no one knows whether it is true or not.

There is only one thing for sure.

"It's true that the magic stone craftsmanship of the empire is high, after all..."

In the middle of her speech, Phyllis looked at Reinhardt intentionally or unintentionally.

Reinhard, who felt the sight, smiled helplessly, and reached out to touch his neck.

There, it was wearing a metal collar that had never been seen before, and the magic stone inlaid on it showed its identity.

"Sure enough, the empire's taste is really bad." Phyllis couldn't help complaining again.

Of course, wearing such an inelegant thing can't be Reinhardt's interest. This is the requirement of the empire, and it is also the "guarantee" for Reinhardt to be allowed to cross the border.

Simply put, it is 'shackles'.

"It's called an 'obedience collar'? What? Does it work for you?"

Seeing not only Phyllis, but also Julius and the two sages cast their gazes, Reinhardt explained:

"There is a feeling of being close to fatigue. Although I don't know how much strength can be restricted, it does have the effect of preventing me from exerting my original strength."

Phyllis and the others were very surprised by Reinhardt's words, but at the same time, another voice came.

"It's not going to work, that thing."

"Eh?!"

Contrary to Reinhardt's description, Yuntian's words attracted everyone's attention.

"The reason why that thing can take effect now is that Reinhardt is willing to keep it on his neck, and there is more than one way to get it off."

After hearing Yun Tian's words, everyone's eyes immediately turned back to Reinhardt.

But this time Reinhardt just spread his hands, without any explanation.

But undoubtedly, that represents the default.

The fact made Phyllis and the others fall into silence. Although they all knew how powerful Reinhardt was, they were still often refreshed by him.

Especially after more cloudy sky.

In the past, because of Reinhardt's excessive modesty, it was always a bit unpredictable what his real strength was like.

But now that Yun Tian is "translating" on the side, the hidden content in many words will be understood by them.

In many cases, without reaching that level, it is really impossible to imagine how huge the gap is.

Whether it is using protection or increasing magic power, Reinhardt is now able to compete with Yuntian in strength.

That collar may not be as stiff as the Juggernaut's neck, and it can be pulled off easily.

"Speaking of which, you are really willing to bring this stuff with you."

The obedience collar that Reinhardt was asked to wear was not so much a prop to limit the wearer's strength, but a near-slavery prop that seized his freedom and made the wearer obey.

Inviting Reinhardt as a special envoy while asking him to wear such a thing, the Empire's approach can be said to be unreasonable to the limit.

"Whether I wear a collar or not is related to the success of this diplomacy." Reinhardt shook his head at Yuntian, expressing that he didn't mind.

However, Yun Tian somewhat scoffed at this kind of behavior.

"You are so easy to talk, and your distorted personality can still guarantee the purity of the sword. You are the only one."

Anyway, it is recognized as the strongest in the world, and Reinhardt also has a clear self-awareness, but his style of doing things is peaceful to the extreme.

As Yun Tian said, it was quite distorted.

If it were Yun Tian, ​​if you asked him to wear a collar to go to other countries, it would be tantamount to provoking and declaring war.

The results speak for themselves.

"If you want me to say, isn't this the best opportunity.

"When we arrive at the capital of the empire, neither you nor I can easily suppress the city, stay with one person, and then the other radiates outward, and the empire can be completely suppressed within a month at most.

"When the time comes, let the kingdom send someone to receive it. Why is it so troublesome to engage in diplomacy?"

Yuntian's words made Reinhardt sigh.

"Yuntian, as knights, we shouldn't take the initiative to start a war. That would be a huge harm to the people living in the empire."

"The sages will represent the two, plus the restricted Juggernaut, it is no problem to believe that it is a trap set by the empire. At this stage, once the three of you die, Lugnica will be no different from destroying the country."

"That will lead to war, and I believe that the empire will not be so reckless."

"Placing one's own safety above the opponent's recklessness, I can't approve of this kind of behavior. The Dragon Covenant is temporarily invalid, isn't it? The empire has no reason to avoid war."

"It's hard to say whether the empire knows about this matter..."

"I haven't seen the king for several months, and the fool has guessed it."

"Yun Tian, ​​it's common sense for a knight to be the defender. It's okay to be attacked, but I can't do this kind of thing if I take strong actions just because I'm uneasy."

"Tsk, I knew you would say that. You are just too passive. How can a person's character be distorted like this?"

"...In a sense, Yun Tian, ​​you are not qualified to complain about my character."

The half-joking and half-discussion conversation between Yuntian and Reinhardt resounded in the dragon carriage, and the content of the conversation made the other four people sitting together feel a little stiff.

It wasn't until the end of the conversation that the air froze for a while before Phyllis quietly said to Julius:

"Yuntian who suddenly started thinking about how to destroy the empire is really scary."

"I agree with your point of view, but... Reinhardt didn't say it couldn't be done, which I find even scarier."

1829 Nine Generals

Holy Phlakia Empire

A powerful country in the south, with fertile land and a warm climate, the temperature difference between the four seasons is very small.

Thanks to this, most of the people in the empire have not suffered from famine and enjoy the powerful blessings of the country.

But on the other hand, a favorable environment can easily breed laziness, and laziness can degrade people.

In order to prevent such problems, the Phlakia Empire has established precepts since ancient times.

[The people of the empire must be strong and powerful]

At the same time, this is also the core of the empire's imperial government.

It is a matter of course and respectable in the empire that the strong stand above the weak, and this is no exception even for the emperor.

Even the "Emperor Election Ritual" to select the emperor is fundamentally a symbol of this precept.

The Phlakia emperor would marry many wives in various parts of the country and give birth to a large number of offspring.

These princes and princesses will kill each other, eliminate brothers and sisters, and the last one can sit on the throne of God.

Behavior that looks like a beast to outsiders is the foundation of the support of the people of the empire, and it is also the spiritual concept of building the iron and blood of the empire.

. . . . . .

"Yu Enzhun, raise your head."

The high and low voice is full of majesty enough to restrain people's hearts and actions.

It's not trembling because of emotions like happiness and disgust, but a sharper and heavier aura from the superior.

The two sages were in front, and the three knights were behind. They looked up at the end of the red carpet, the black-haired young man sitting on the throne on the high platform.

About 25 years old, the expensive imperial clothing is based on red and black, but it is not equipped with too many accessories, only some basic jewelry.

If you insist, the young man doesn't have any particularly distinctive features, but the aura exuding from him is exceptionally strong.
