Warhammer Throne

About 1,600 years ago, after the series of battles, the 200-year-old Emperor Charlemagne almost unified the entire continent and established an empire. At that time, it was the golden age of mankind, and Charlemagne became a full 400. The human emperor announced his abdication in 1949. Before he abdicated, in order to quell the disputes among the tribes on the heirs, he established the system of electing princes.

The system of the empire was changed from centralized to sub-enclosure. The vast territory was re-enclosed to the twelve electors. The emperor ruled the capital of the empire and the richest plain in the entire continent near the capital. During the death or war of the last emperor After death, the twelve electors and the three major churches of the Church of Justice, the Church of Life, and the Church of Magic will vote to select the next emperor from several candidates for the throne. This system of electors continues to this day.

"Speaking of Mr. Oliver, the empire is clearly a powerful and centralized state. Why did it establish such an electoral system? Isn't the eldest son inheritance system also an option?" Ryan looked at the wild scenery. In the distance, the pine forest was The snow was quietly standing on the mountains under the cover of snow. The cold air made the horses snort. The guard Mather in the front was carefully alerting to possible movements. Fak ’s driving technique was not very skilled, because it was not him who drove the car. People have already died in that encounter.

The weather is already cold enough. People will only feel more uncomfortable without chatting.

"If the empire has no foreign enemies, we are on an isolated island, no one will come to see us, and we will not go to trade with others, then the hereditary of the emperor's eldest son is also possible, but the empire is almost enemies in all directions, yes, Now we have allied knightly allies in Britannia, and we also have close dwarf allies, but what about other places? Enemies are everywhere. His Majesty Charlemagne aims to hope that the most capable heir can lead the empire to continue Go forward, not because of stupid bloodline discrimination to raise a group of spoiled wastes. "The imperial merchant said in a full of admiration:" His Majesty Charlemagne never shy away from his past, he directly told the ministers that he had let the cattle go before And to be proud of this, is n’t Ludwig also a small nobleman from the country? Birth is not important, what is important is strength, bravery, and love for the empire. "

"It's right." Ryan nodded, not much to say.

After a few hours of trekking, they finally came to Kalzen Haven, the harbour city in the Kingdom of Nord.

Compared with the town of Ulan, which is only a few hundred households, the port city of Kalzen Haven is much larger. There are about 800 residents living in the city. From a distance, the black smoke directly leads to the sky. The scale of the city is roughly the same. Although the gray wall is not too high, it has changed from a wooden wall in Ulan Town to a solid stone wall. The guards on the city gate are significantly better. The guards in Ulan Town They all wear breastplates, but Kalzen Haven ’s guards have a full set of scales. They have spears and halberds in their hands, and their faces are healthier. The guards even wear a full set of chain mails. Long sword, holding a shield in one hand, a black robe on the outside, quite a bit imposing from a distance.

"This medium-sized port can accept more than a dozen medium-sized merchant ships or large merchant ships. The port should have all the facilities. The port has 150 standing troops and a kingdom knight. If you need it, you can call up to 600. Famous militia-if the lord here is irrespective of consequences and costs. "Ryan in turn introduced to Theresa.

"Have you been here before?" The sorceress looked at this medium-sized port city and asked curiously.

"Nord has no place that I haven't been to, even I have visited Skydome, let alone this port." Speaking of this, Ryan was a little proud, he did travel a lot of places, at least compared to the sky. Theresa is much stronger in several major cities and homes.

There was a cargo ship starting along the inland river and seemed to be transporting goods. The soldiers in the port also looked very serious and did not know what was going on. In addition, Lane noticed that a caravan was arguing with the Chief of Defense at the gate of the city gate.

"Liar! Liar! You deceived me! Since you can't go to sea! Why don't you tell us and still charge our entry fee? We're not going to stay, refund!"

There was chaos at the gate of the city. An entire caravan was dragging several trucks of cargo. It was arguing with the guards at the gate of the city. Looking at the blushing neck on both sides, the result was obviously not good, especially since many caravan guards have reached out and held With the sword hilt, the guard's spear also gradually tilted from upright.

Because this group of people stagnated, the mercenary's entry into the city could only be temporarily delayed. Ryan was a little impatient. He was still waiting to enter the city to find the trace of Belt.

So the Kingdom Knight immediately dismounted and stepped forward in the eyes of everyone: "What happened?"

The rest of the people did not move, watching the hands of many guards have been held on the hilt, and the experienced deputy commander Wilt knew that this time he should never stimulate the nervous nerves of the guards, everyone will look at it Put it on Theresa, what do we do?

"Wait, only Ryan's identity is suitable for negotiation at this time." Teresa rode on the horse, and the long coat hem almost covered her long legs, only showing the toes and shoes of the high-heeled boots. with.

The Galan Parliament is only an organization recognized to exist, and has no power to directly interfere in the affairs of the state. Strictly speaking, Theresa is not a noble of the Nord Kingdom. It is better to solve the matter within the system.

A guard stopped Ryan: "Hello sir! You need to pay five silver dinars to enter the city. We will issue you a pass. Within five days ... Good morning! Kingdom Knight!"

Ryan illuminated the white wolf knight badge, and the guards saluted immediately.

"what happened?"

"This ... Lord Knight, the Lord Lord yesterday announced a ban on the sea, prohibiting any ship from going out to sea." The guard lowered his head and whispered.

"Is there no way to go to sea ?!" Ryan thought something faintly. He frowned and yelled at the guard: "The city owner does not notify or post notices? After receiving the entrance fee, people know that they can't go to sea? Going to sea? "

Even so, the price of five silver dinars is too much. Ryan thought that the city owner really collected taxes.

After charging such an expensive entry fee, it is forbidden to go out to sea. Obviously, it is to blackmail these merchants who want to go to sea. Anyway, if the money is in the pocket, it is their own. Rules of the game, right? Don't come if you don't like it!

This is the most typical method of lawful evil camp.

"Is the hotel still open?" The quarrel at the city gate had nothing to do with Ryan, nor did he want to go to the muddy water.

"There are adults who open, because there are not many customers, many hotels have reduced prices. If adults plan to stay overnight, the city is basically full because of the prohibition of going to sea. The butter beer hotel in the center of the city may have rooms. The deluxe private room definitely fits your identity as a knight, of course, you can also inform the lord ... "

"Uh!" A sound of tearing air came, and Ryan subconsciously looked at the gate of the city. The caravan and the captain of the guard were already in a quarrel. After the captain of the guard ordered, the guard on the tower directly placed a bow. Arrows, one arrow shot into the mud in front of the caravan location.

The captain of the guard is proud, thinking that you guys do n’t know where you are standing now. Are you arrogant and wanton?

"Huh!" At this time, a sudden change occurred. A man wearing a cloak in the caravan suddenly withdrew an arrow from the arrow barrel behind him, and opened the bow with a very fast hand speed. Almost instantly, the helmet guarded by archery on the tower So he flew into the sky, but the guard himself was unharmed, but he was sitting on the city wall in shock.

This strength! This is an elite ranger! And it is likely to be elite high-level! Ryan became interested. He pulled his horse and stood like this, watching the farce at the gate with great interest.

Under the cloak, the ranger's slightly pointed ears and slender features appeared, showing his identity as a half-elf. The ranger's face was full of arrogance, and he even gave a disdainful smile to the chief guard, and the chief guard was Subconsciously, he took a step back and his face was ugly. He was just an elite elementary strength man. In the face of this powerful ranger, he was not sure that he could win with a small loss.

Etc. really started, and lost his life, or lost a dozen of his lives, then the lord blamed him, and do n’t be my guardian!

Tax collection is small, my life and future are great.

The guard chief looked at the surrounding subconsciously, and soon noticed Ryan who was watching the movie next to him.

A kingdom knight!

"Knight Lord! These profiteers do not abide by the laws of our country! They openly defied the rules of the Lord Lord!" The captain of the guard immediately confirmed that this was a knight of his own country, so he immediately stepped up to ask for help. Not only did he bow deeply, He also flattered Ryan with a flattering face, and at the same time, he resented the group of caravans. It sounded like he was humiliated.

Ryan raised his eyebrows, and the caravan was busy arguing. Only then did he notice that many of the guards saw the Kingdom Knight appearing here, and they all showed vigilance and anxiety. The half-elf ranger was clenched. With the long bow in his hand, he looked at Ryan unsightly. The guards of the merchants all clenched the sword handles, but the mercenary team looked a little hesitant. After all, no one wanted to offend a kingdom knight.

As a knight of the kingdom, Ryan does have an obligation to protect the decree of the Kingdom of Nord. Even if this decree is not so reasonable, seeing that the matter has finally spread to himself, Ryan gently lifts the warhammer and speaks to the chief guard with a bad tone: " Oh? Are the entrance fees for the five silver dinars stipulated by Nord law? Your city lords are really taxing, and almost even my kingdom knight has to pay this money. "

"I'm very sorry, sir, but this is the order of the lord of the city, we can only obey!" The guard officer quickly apologized.

"That's right! Lord Cavaliers, we will come here not to see that the commodities tax here will be lower than other ports, but now that we have collected such a high tax on entering the city but told us that we can't go to sea! It's not fair to say that Ah! "Oliver also came up and argued reasonably.

In the end, under the mediation of Ryan, the people settled with the entrance fee of three silver dinars. The entry fee of the mercenary group was still given by Theresa, but the female warlocks of dozens of silver coins did not care. After entering the city one after another, Ryan greeted the crowd and quickly rushed to the lord's house of Kalzen Haven.

Lord Karzen Haven lived in a large wooden long house in the city. This building has three floors. The first floor is used to receive visitors and serve as a restaurant. The top two floors are personal spaces. Most of the building materials are made of wood. Ryan informed the guards at the gate of the city, and he quickly found the clerk to check out the sea records.

"Yes, Mr. Ryan. Yesterday, there was indeed a tall and thin person who rushed into the town when he was closing the door. He did not stay. He immediately proposed to go to Marienburg by boat. The owners were not willing to do it, but this The guy took out fifteen gold dinars and asked to go to sea, which was several times the normal price of going to Marienburg. UU reading www.uukanshu.com, then a ship owner decided to take the money. "The lord's The clerk flipped through the sea records and said to Ryan.

"I went and lost!" Ryan said angrily. In fact, he had a hunch before him. After being slowed down by the beastmen, he had a hunch that he might not be able to catch up with Belt.

"Why can't you go out to sea?" Lane then asked.

"This is the case. The high priest of the Ocean Church told Master Lord this morning that there were a large number of sea monsters in the nearby waters. The barbarian fleet in the north was also constantly looting the caravan. For safety reasons, the Lord Lord ordered this period of time. It is forbidden to go to sea, "the clerk continued.

"Well, I know." Ryan knew that he could not catch up with Belter. Even if he could persuade the lord to arrange a boat to let him as a pedestrian go to sea, the risk was too great. Now the only solution is to think long and report to Innocent first. Archbishop.

It came out of the tower at noon. It was rare that the dark clouds faded away. A few rays of sunlight stubbornly broke through the blockade of the clouds and brought a little warmth to the earth. It is still so cold in November. If it is until the Winter Veil Festival At that time, I really don't know how long I will see the sun.

"Archbishop Innocent, I lost Belte." Pressing the jewel on the bracelet, Ryan said helplessly.

"I know that Bert took the opportunity to leave Nord by boat yesterday. This is not to blame you. It was two days after the incident when I notified you, and ..." The very majestic voice seemed a little bit Tired: "It's not time to pay attention to Belt, the barbarian in the north has made a big move, at least 20,000 barbarian troops are gathering, this matter will stop here first."

what? Are the northern barbarians going south again?

This is really not good news.
