Wangcheng Ars
world's largest city
The city named after the brave man who led Demon-Human War to victory
People often cannot hide their amazement when seeing this city for the first time.
Standing on the hill, the majestic royal city. Silver Palace
Surrounding the city, are the huge mansions of the superior nobles
The fortress-like city wall surrounding it stands side by side with the endlessly extending vast city street.
huge arena
Luxurious knight training ground
Millis Church Beautiful temple
land bridge surrounding the street
The headquarters of the world's largest trading company
Water God Style clan's dojo
Opera Street lined with theaters
The hotel street where the fragrance of beautiful women floats
Door built in memory of Laplace War
The streets continue to stretch into the distance, making it impossible to see everything
It spans Altair River, which is like a mother, and keeps extending, and keeps extending...
This is the most historic city Human Race that can be said to have everything in the world.
Excerpted from adventurer. Bradycond written [Travels Around the World]
When I come back here again, I feel more emotions in my heart
I turned to look at the guards. Eris and Ghislaine looked at everything on the street with their mouths wide open.
But if I remember correctly, Miss Eris was once a noble...
After laughing and shaking my head, I said
"Let's go"
After everyone nodded, we entered the royal city.
Luke walked in the front, followed in order by Eris, Ghislaine, Aisha, and carriage
marching in a column
While walking around the city like this
Starting from somewhere, the feeling around you changes
From a street dominated by adventurers to a street dominated by residents
Then, people started to appear among the residents and pointed at us.
"Hey... isn't this Mr. Luke...?"
"It's true... beside him is Miss Eris... the wife of Mr. Rudeus!"
"According to this, is it true that Lord Rudeus supports His Highness Ariel?"
"That must be the case. His Highness Ariel must have rushed back after hearing the news that His Highness the King was ill."
Although I have no intention of hiding my identity
I didn't think I could hide it completely
As long as you enter the royal city, you will be recognized no matter what.
However... Miss Eris's popularity is much more exaggerated than I thought.
In other words, the energy of Rudeus is more exaggerated than I thought. It is a subsidy for civilians...
A helper who doesn't care about nobles at all... may be more useful than I thought
"Ah~Master Luke~!"
"Eris Master! Thank you very much for everything you and your husband have done!"
"Ariel Your Highness~! Welcome back!"
Support came from everywhere
Occasionally, flowers are thrown over
Even though I have been away for ten years, am I still so popular...?
I was quite popular with the common people before I left. I am afraid that it has become even more popular this time because of Rudeus's propaganda.
Completely draw a clear line with the nobles... After becoming the king, I will be very busy.
As soon as we entered the aristocratic area, the cheers suddenly decreased.
I am not very popular among the nobles, not to mention that there is a Eris. Greyrat around the carriage.
I'm afraid the nobles gritted their teeth when they saw her, right?
After all, her and her husband's style is to rob the rich and give to the poor, scraping the grease from the nobles and giving it to the common people.
Even if this is not enough, after the division, they must continue to slander the nobles, changing the attitude of the common people towards the nobles from being irrelevant to becoming real enemies.
It's as if all the suffering they suffered came from the nobles
But I'm curious about how he distinguished the royal family from the nobility.
In my opinion, the only difference between the royal family and the nobles is their bloodline. We also exploit the common people to make ourselves rich.
Except for blood, there is no difference
Just when I was thinking about these questions, the atmosphere outside the carriage suddenly felt a little wrong.
I looked up and found that Eris and Ghislaine had drawn their swords
How is that possible? This is within the royal city. Even if an assassination is needed, it is not possible now...
Just when I was thinking this, the woman in armor spoke.
"Eris, Ghislaine, it's me!"
Eris was riding on the horse, staring closely at the woman
"Eris, you are still alive. The master said that it is impossible to survive the battle with Dragon God no matter what..."
"Isolte...?"
"Yes! It's me!"
"Wearing this strange armor, I didn't even recognize it for a moment."
"What kind of weird armor... isn't it cool?"
Eris shook his head, as if he had some doubts about Isolte's aesthetics
Isolte coughed and asked again
"Are you serving the people in the carriage now? Ah! There are rumors everywhere in the city that Her Highness the Second Princess is back. Is it possible... But why does Eris... ah..."
"Well, that's pretty much it."
Eris opened his mouth and interrupted Isolte
But Isolte did not stop, but spoke again
"According to the recommendation of my master, I am aiming to become a knight. It is scheduled that when I am officially appointed as a knight, I will be awarded the title Water Emperor."
"Really, congratulations"
During this period, Luke on the side hesitated to speak. I am afraid that he thought of Aisha's threats and did not step forward to stop their conversation.
And Aisha rode a horse, approached Eris, and said something in her ear
"Ah!"
After listening to Aisha's words, Eris exclaimed
"What... what happened?"
"Isolte"
"Huh?"
"We might become enemies"
"Ah?"
Aisha covered his forehead and smiled helplessly
Isolte pointed at himself and spoke with a little fear.
"What do you mean? Ah... it's not because of me, right?"
"It's not because of you, it's because of your master"
"My master... but Eris you can't win against her. How about I plead for mercy or something... You just got married not long ago, right? I don't want Eris to die."
"Don't worry! Just don't hinder us."
"I know... don't die... I'm sorry, are you in a hurry?"
"Yeah!"
"Then, I will take you to visit the city when there is no shift. If possible, remember to bring Rudeus to me to see."
"I know!"
After making a right turn, the road becomes uphill
Although there were soldiers guarding the huge city wall, after showing them the coat of arms of Luke, he used his face to let them go.
After passing through the area of mid-level nobles, we encountered another city wall, which was as big as a small country's castle and surrounded the houses.
We're in the area of a superior noble.
My villa is a little far away from the royal city
It's evening now
It took half a day to get here from Wangcheng
After arranging the servants to prepare the room, I said to Aisha
"So, Miss Aisha. Greyrat"
"Hmm"
"Thanks to Miss Aisha's help, I arrived here safely."
Aisha smiled and said
"What's next?"
"As for me, we will start taking action from tomorrow to prepare for the reception of Mr. Perugius, and to prepare the [venue] to make the superior minister Darius lose power.
Also confirming the nobles who rebelled while I was away, gathering intelligence,
Liaise with the intelligence personnel sent in advance and inspect various locations...
It's going to be very busy."
"Got it"
"In order to deal a fatal blow to the Darius faction, the sooner the [venue] is opened, the better. Fortunately, due to the illness of the father, the main nobles have gathered in the royal city, which means that the decisive battle is about to begin."
"How long is it expected to take?"
"Ten days at most"
"Understood"
Although I think there are some things that don't need to be said, after all Aisha should know... but I still remind you.
"Now, because of Master Rudeus's propaganda, my name is all the voice of the common people. The nobles should also be afraid of Master Rudeus and choose neutrality. In other words, in the duel between me and Darius, my victory is inevitable in terms of politics.
But... you know that you might encounter a fight in the venue."
Aisha nodded
"Don't worry, just leave this aspect to us. You can prepare your affairs with peace of mind. Sister Eris and I will make traps to find enemies, and Ghislaine will serve as your full-day guard."
"You mean...?"
"Before the decisive battle begins, I will reduce their combat power as much as possible."
"Okay, let's do this"
What should be done in the 10 days has been decided
From tomorrow on, the war in the Asura Kingdom will be ignited
