Chapter 46: The Imperial Battle Cloud (Part 2)

Yes, Rongheng Trading Bank is the number one trading bank in the Starry Sky Continent, and its business is spread throughout the continent. There is a saying on the mainland: As long as it is a business that can make money, Rongheng will do it. Yes, this is the purpose of Rongheng Trading Bank. Their branches are spread throughout the continent. It is said that their large merchant ships can also transport goods from the Starry Sky Continent to the south through the ocean of sighs over there.

Today, Rongheng Trading Bank is a little different from the past. Several people in charge of the store handed over their business to their subordinates early in the morning, and several people rushed to Dongcheng Gate to guard them.

As the sun rose, three iron gates in the city gate slowly pulled up. With a squeak, people waiting outside to enter the city rushed in. In addition to those who were transporting some daily necessities into the city, there were also carts pulling toilets.

Several officials in charge of Rongheng Trading Bank are also well-known figures in the Delson City, but now they have to endure hunger in the early morning and endure the stench. They cover their noses and dare not even sit down. It seems that the person they are going to greet is indeed an amazing figure.

A few people looked at the sun above their heads. It seemed that it was getting late. One of them asked the young man who was serving behind him: "When is it now?" The young man had a round flat box hanging around his neck. He wiped the surface and glanced at it: "It's already ten o'clock." The timer hanging around his neck is also an alchemy item. It can accurately time it is much more convenient than an hourglass, and of course it is much more expensive than an hourglass. If it weren't for Rongheng Trading, even ordinary merchants would not be able to afford it.

Several managers were hungry all morning. They were already quite old and felt a little dizzy at this time. The young man pleased and said, "I'll go and get a few chairs, gentlemen, sit down and rest." "No, how can I sit and welcome that adult!" The young man was scolded for no reason, and retreated aside in grievance, muttering in his heart, "Who is such a big picture."

It was almost eleven o'clock in the afternoon, and an ordinary carriage finally drove into the East City Gate. When several officials saw the marks on the carriage, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief and went up to meet them. The young man was also very aware of the situation and did not have to ask for instructions to pay the tax on the city entrance. The carriage was not blocked and entered the city smoothly.

"Mr. Klos, you have worked hard all the way." Several of the usual vicious managers were well-behaved like the old granddaughter outside the car.

The car stopped by the street, and the door opened with a sound of sand, and a young face appeared. Klos said lightly: "You are all here, how are you preparing for things?"

One person stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, sir, everything has been prepared as you and the lady's instructions, just waiting for you to take charge of the overall situation. Tomorrow is the four-year royal challenge, the best time for us to take action..." Klos glared at him fiercely. The man was stunned and hurriedly covered his mouth. This was on the street, how could he say such a secret thing?

"Go back!" Close closed the car door in annoyance.

Cross did not let them take the bus, and the old guys could only follow the carriage with empty stomachs. From Dongchengmen to the store in Fugui District, several other people had already cursed the guy who said the wrong words hundreds of times in their stomachs.

When he returned to the trade bank, Klos had no intention of letting a few people rest: "Find a safe place." The few people did not dare to disobey, so the grain hurriedly invited him to the secret room of the trade bank, and arranged a large number of people outside to guard him.

Klos took out a golden ball from his arms and pressed a button the size of a black bean on it. With a "swoosh", the golden ball collapsed and turned into dozens of rings of different sizes, layer by layer. A mist of light dispersed and slowly extended into a barrier that was almost invisible.

Klos clapped his hands: "Okay, even a thirteenth-level professional can't eavesdrop under my gold drop cover. We can speak with confidence." Several officials looked at each other, thinking in their hearts: It seems that Lord Klos's alchemy level is chasing the title craftsman Paracelsus, and it seems that the rumors are true!

"Okay, don't stand and sit down and talk. Tell me your plan."

As if the few people were granted a general amnesty, they were tired all morning and finally could sit down and rest. A manager in charge said, "Sir, let's talk about this royal challenge, which changed the previous style. Not only did the missions from the three major priests in the south, they not only invited the missions of the three southern priests to perform to entertain themselves, but also invited the mainland's powerful countries to come and watch, because the imperial emperor had ulterior motives."

Cross was interested: "Oh, what's the point?"

"Before, the treasure trooper Heinrich stole the crown behind the imperial royal family's imperial treasure moon. What made the imperial intelligence agencies puzzled was how Heinrich opened the door to the treasure house. The imperial emperor was likely to finally conclude that the enemy country helped Heinrich."

"But it is said that that country is perfect, and even the imperial intelligence agencies cannot find clues. Mejeff IV was furious and was thinking about countermeasures. This royal challenge was actually to show the strength of the Aosta Empire to the mainland!"

Cross frowned. The in charge thought he had said something wrong, but Cross felt uncomfortable about Heinrich's affairs.

"Well, why do you stop and continue."

"Abide by the order. You know, the Aosta Empire has always produced outstanding warriors, but magic and alchemy have always been behind, so they have been content with the southern part of the continent. This time, the dispute between the three major priests in the south happened to cause the imperial emperor to accidentally discover an alchemy genius. He wanted to rely on the alchemy of the Three Southern Kingdoms to shock the empire and let them see that the Aosta Empire now has not only powerful warriors, but also skillful alchemists."

In fact, Grand Duke Maris presented the alchemy equation. The alchemist of Megeff IV's idiot court was also helpless. He heard that an alchemist in the Principal of Maris cracked this equation and immediately had this idea. Anyway, the Aosta Empire has always been established as a war general. If the south's country bumpkin alchemist could make a splash, then it would be best if it was not possible. Alchemist has always been the weakness of the Aosta Empire, and no one would laugh at him for Megeff IV.

"We have bribed the imperial officials responsible for receiving envoys from various countries, and joined the alchemy toys of our trade dealers in the gifts prepared for the missions of various countries. Although the alchemy toys are small, they can also reflect the current alchemy level of the Aosta Empire in the details. At that time, the plague broke out in the city of Delson, and the origin was the most honorable guests of the Aosta Empire, and we would definitely make a big profit! If we provoke wars between the Aosta Empire and other countries, our trade dealers can also take the opportunity to run the business of war items, and the profit will be even greater!"

Close finally smiled: "You guys are doing a good job."

...

In the sixteen major areas of the Delson Royal City, in each area, you can see the busy Royal Guards in the past few days. The captains commanded their subordinates and used the tame and docile monsters to carry large stones one meter long, half meter wide and half meter thick, and built one person-high ring.

This is the tradition of the Royal Sky Battle, which is roughly similar to the idea of ​​"joy with the people" on earth. Although people other than the royal family are not allowed to participate, it is still OK for everyone to see.

During each Royal Challenge, a large number of residents from the cities around the Royal City will flock to the Royal City to watch.

The quota for each Royal Challenge is 256 people. In the sixteen sub-courts, four rounds of fighting are required before the final list of the top 16 will be finally decided.

The draw of the quarterfinals of 16 will finally determine the champion of the challenge.

The final decisive battle will be held in the square in front of the Nar Palace. The honorary referee of the final is the Imperial Emperor Mejev IV.

Dinola fought for three days and returned with satisfaction. In the inn, Princess Feifei, as a specially invited guest, wore a luxurious aristocratic dress early in the morning to attend the opening ceremony of the royal challenge. Ge Zheng was not interested in this ceremony, so he gave Cummins and Dunk a vacation to let them go to watch the fun.

The Royal Challenge is also a quadrennial celebration of the Delson City. There are crowds of performing on major streets in the city, colorful costumes, weirdly dressed figures, and a firework-like air spark performance composed of fire magic and electric magic. Before the competition has begun, the city has entered a celebratory climax.

Solgwiren has now made up his mind to follow Ge Zheng, and maybe he can save Ge Zheng again, so his relationship with Ge Zheng will become even more "close".

Dinola had originally suspected that Solgwilen had a friendship with Ge Zheng. When she came back from Dirkmont, she saw that he and Ge Zheng were the only ones left in the inn, and immediately confirmed her guess.
