Standing at the wall of the White Dove City, Joshua took the telescope handed from Rin and looked in the direction of the sun set. His vision extended to the distance with the focus of the camera, crossing the wide stone path on the earth, scattered woods and green wilderness, gathering on the three peaks in the distance.

The falling sunset projected orange-red clouds, and the remaining sunlight was revealed from the gaps in the mountain peaks. Under the action of the telescope, Joshua could see a winding road rising from the foot of the mountain and entering the depths of the mountain range. The thin clouds surrounded the fortress at the top of the peak, making it look particularly hazy.

"Master, don't you set out?"

A confusing question came from behind Joshua. He felt someone pulling the corner of his clothes. The warrior could only turn around helplessly: "Don't worry, Ying, I'll take a look at the terrain near the imperial capital first."

"oh……"

Ying nodded with regret. She took a little step forward and came to the side of the warrior. The silver-haired girl pulled Lin up. The two of them lay on the rock wall of the city wall together and looked into the distance with their master.

The Three Mountains Holy City of the Imperial Capital is located in a hilly southeast of the empire, surrounded by terraces and pastures connected together. On the east side, at the end of the view, you can see a blue mirror. It is the largest freshwater lake in the empire, Yongge Lake. It is rumored that the founding emperor of the empire was blessed by the fairy in this lake and received an endless armor and a ring that can command elements. The tombs of emperors of all dynasties are on the island in the lake, which seems to prove the truth of this rumor.

Below the imperial capital, there is a scattered satellite city. Because the imperial capital is located in a geographical location that is difficult to communicate with the outside world, it requires a large amount of resources to supply. Just like the white pigeon city where Joshua is now located, it gradually expanded from a small village to supply the food from the imperial capital.

“It’s really peace.”

It is early April, but with the help of magic and various tameeded monsters, farming is not too difficult. Seeing the farmer who has become a small dot due to thousands of meters of distance working in the green fields, Joshua put down the telescope in his hand, and took a deep breath. The warm monsoon blowing from the south carried a fresh smell of plants and trees. The warrior let the air pour deep into his lungs, and then sighed: "Where around the imperial capital, I can't feel the feeling of crisis in the border areas."

This is true - without talking about the Black Tide in Hessen, the Far South Dragon Misfortune has not subsided yet. Although the emergence of the Crazy Dragon vaccine has not grown as strong as in the previous life, the monsters that could actually capture the city and threaten human forces were not those wild dragon beasts, but those evil lurking deep in the ocean. It is obvious that the nests of the Five-Colored Dragon Clan are not like the floating dragon islands rumored to be located in the sky. Judging from the groups of elite winged dragons flying from the southern waters, they must have many bases in the ocean.

However, all this has nothing to do with the Northern Empire, which has just eradicated the biggest threat of Orcs.

Although the orc civilization was backward and primitive, and full of uncivilized wilderness, their power was undeniable. However, although the war with these monsters caused huge losses to the empire, the results achieved today are enough to make up for all this. In the past six months, countless pioneering brigades left their hometowns and headed to the northwest plain, an unexplored land. Warriors and knights who have made meritorious in the war have obtained their fiefs. Although the empire was a little bloodless due to the successive battles, its foundation was stronger because of the absorption of a large piece of territory. As long as you wait for a few years, you can return to your prosperity and even surpass the past.

This can be seen from the spirit of the locals in Baige City. The guards patrolling the city wall were dressed in neat uniforms and armor, and stomped on the ground with bright eyes, their chests stood up, and their hearts were full of enthusiasm. The farmers and merchants entering and leaving the city gate under the city wall were also smiling, full of confidence and expectations for the future.

"alright."

Handing the telescope back to Rin's hand, Joshua also had a rough understanding of the environment around the imperial capital. Although some of them could not be observed due to perspective problems, it was enough now. He turned his head and said to the young girls: "Let's go."

From Bai Ge City to the imperial capital, there is actually a direct teleportation array. In fact, except for Moldavia, a countryside where it just joined the teleportation network, basically any big city has a direct teleportation channel to the imperial capital. However, now there is no hurry, and Joshua doesn't care about saving for a few hours. He would rather watch the sunset in the middle of the journey.

The three of them walked on the stone avenue for horse-drawn carriages, surrounded by terraces and scattered woodlands. Not far away, there was even a river with golden light shining under the setting sun. On the banks of the river, there were several domesticated demon cattle drinking water. Occasionally, a few farmers finished their work and passed by Joshua. These simple men manipulated the dialect of the central region, and spoke in a common human language as if they were language from another world, which made people laugh.

The sunset has set, and they gradually come to the foot of the imperial capital.

Since most people with a little money and power will choose to use teleportation arrays to reach the imperial capital, the only ones who enter the city along the roads and stairs are farmers transporting grain and some caravans with little capital. It is now at night, and the crowds are close to nothing. Joshua stood in front of the uninhabited road and whispered: "It's really spectacular."

This is a smooth masonry and stone avenue, with stairs made of grey rocks on both sides. It spreads out from the depths of the mountain, gradually becoming thicker like a gray line, and then extends to the feet of the warriors.

Next to the stairs, countless pyroxene chandeliers stand, and the light of the light is not bright illuminating the road. In the dark night, this light belt and other road street lights leading to the mountains combine into white lines and wrap around the three peaks.

It looks like a magic circle.

As a legendary warrior in his previous life, Joshua's observation ability is naturally much stronger than other ordinary people. He clearly felt that the concentration of magic energy in the foot of the mountain was more than that of the surrounding wilderness, and the intensity of the magic element at the top of the mountain could even form cloud haze. Of course, this could not be formed naturally, but could only be artificial factors.

"It's indeed an unimaginable big deal."

After carefully observing the street lights beside the stairs, the warriors noticed that these pyroxenes flashed with white light were not obvious magic patterns. Runes were connected together with the light, as the roads spread throughout the mountain, and then gathered into an extremely huge magic circle. He nodded slightly: "Through the magic circles spread throughout the mountain, the elements and magic power in the world are naturally gathered, providing power for the entire city and the three magic fortresses. Those who planned this city must be a generation of sages."

"yes."

Because of the sensitivity of the psychic body to magic, Ying also vaguely noticed this. She raised her little hand, and the fair skin was filled with magic, and the silver-haired girl said happily: "It's quite beautiful."

"The master is not talking about this..." Lin, who was standing by, complained helplessly. He didn't seem to like this phenomenon very much, so he hid his exposed skin in his clothes as much as possible, but this is not winter after all. The boy wearing summer clothes always cannot be concealed in some places, emitting a white light.

The three of them stepped on the stairs to the imperial capital like this. The warm wind on the summer night was harmonious, and they had climbed to the middle of the mountain without realizing it. From then on, they could see the night view within a radius of dozens of miles. Nightingale chirping in the woods in the mountains, and flying insects flapping their wings to accompany them.

But a sound that came faintly from the mountain broke the harmonious balance.

It was the voice of a middle-aged man, with a hint of fatigue in his hoarse voice. He was holding an object in his hand that seemed to have a communication array engraved in his hand, and was talking to the person opposite the array: "...Yes, Lord Morse, everything has been done... Yes, Lord Earl, how dare I forget what you told me... Don't worry, the news about the Cold Iron Earl in the North is easy to collect, and he doesn't seem to care about others observing him... OK, I will do it..."

The fragments of words were spoken with his steps, and Joshua stopped. He turned to look at the middle-aged man's back, narrowed his eyes slightly, the warrior's brows raised, and his red pupils were full of curiosity.

Just now, someone seemed to mention him?

"He seemed to be saying my name just now?"

Shrugging, Joshua asked his weapons, and beside him, Rin nodded, and the boy confirmed, "Yes, he is indeed talking about your title, Master."

Ying also added: "He seemed to be asking the master about your current situation."

"Then it shouldn't be an illusion."

Hearing the sure words of the two beside him, Joshua chuckled: "Is it so coincidental that he can meet an acquaintance who knows me in the imperial capital?"

As he said that, he simply turned around and walked towards the middle-aged man who had already walked away from the stairs.

While Ying and Lin followed the warriors, they did not forget to complain. The silver-haired girl shook her head and said, "I think that the few people don't know their master now."

"And I just know your name, I'm not considered an acquaintance." Rin also expressed his opinion. He seemed a little reluctant: "I just mentioned your name, Master, there is no need to ask... "

If he didn't care about his weapons, Joshua simply started to act. If others heard this, they were just thinking about it in their hearts, but he was the kind of person who would put his thoughts into practice, so he walked over and greeted the man who seemed to be walking slowly down the mountain.
