Chapter 323
An earl in a gold-rimmed and luxurious dress sat quietly in the carriage.
He held the exquisite black cane tightly in his hands, and looked out the window with deep eyes.
The carriage was moving on the bumpy street, making a deep clattering sound.
The body of the carriage was shaking, but the earl seemed to be completely accustomed to this bumpy road.
Through the window, he looked back.
Behind him was a team of carriages carrying other ministers of the empire.
Surrounding them were the knights of the empire, riding white horses, surrounding the carriage.
The knights wore silver armor, and their expressions were as frozen as ice, extremely majestic.
The figure leading a group of knights in the front, riding on a white horse, with silver hair fluttering.
The fierce deterrence emanating from her gave the earl goose bumps on his back.
This knight who looked like an ice sculpture must be Senator Clevenna's fiancée, Gwen Delin, right?
It is said that this knight also possesses top strength.
According to the descriptions of those foreign ministers, she even has the ability to go to heaven, and can even communicate with the gods and use the power of the gods.
This is very absurd for an imperial knight, because the empire is a country that does not allow any belief in gods.
But even so, he can become an earl in the Karencia Empire at such a young age.
The other party's strength is definitely not weak.
Earl Laurian really wants to compete with this great knight Gwen, who is also an earl, to try to test the level of this young imperial knight, but...
He came back to his senses and looked at the man sitting opposite him.
The man was wearing a black windbreaker with a symbolic badge with three broken heads on his chest.
He looked cold, even colder than Gwen outside.
At this moment, he just quietly clasped his hands together and placed them on his legs.
But that cold look always made Earl Laurian tremble.
Yes, this was the rumored Senator Victor Clevenna.
He was sitting in the same carriage with him.
Although he looked like he had flaws all over his body, the strong sense of oppression emanating from him continued to surround the carriage.
He still remembered that just now.
When Senator Victor got off the train.
He just stretched out his hand and grasped the damaged magic train slightly.
Suddenly, the train, which could still be seen in some shape, was gradually squeezed by his powerful magic.
Finally, the train carriage that could accommodate more than a hundred people.
He grasped it and squeezed it into a square piece of scrap iron, which was safely located in the corner of the station.
As soon as he got off the train, he cleverly showed his power to the people of the kingdom.
That might be a show of power.
But Earl Laurian really fell for it.
After all, the ministers had already said it when they arrived here.
The Nangapurna Valley was bombed in half.
This was almost impossible in the eyes of everyone.
The Nangapurna Valley is a towering valley that separates the two major countries.
Its existence forced the two huge neighboring countries, the Kingdom and the Empire, to make peace.
After all, if it was just a simple visit to each other, it would be fine.
You only need to use the magic train to quickly shuttle back and forth between the two neighboring countries from above the valley.
However, if one country really has a mind for the other and wants to go to war.
They must bypass this huge valley and take a very long road.
In this way, the journey will be a great trouble.
If there is no time to transport food and grass, it will be at a disadvantage in a long and protracted war.
And if the attacking party has some losses in the army, it will even be difficult to request support.
So once the two countries go to war, no matter who fights who.
As long as it is the defending party, it will definitely have a huge advantage.
After all, the whole canyon isolates the whole country, and the support is too slow.
The kingdom has also proved the important strategic significance of this valley with bloody lessons.
Their harassment and occupation of the border of the empire ended in failure.
That was a long time ago, and the empire was far from being as powerful as it is now.
However, the area of the valley crack is more than a thousand miles?
Is it possible to blow up that area with just one magic?
Possibly.
For Senator Clevenna, it is an absolutely possible thing.
He has naturally seen the earth-shaking sea battle spread by the Mage Council.
At that moment, Victor·The name of Kravenna has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts and known to countless people.
He already has a very obvious position in the international community.
And he himself...
Laurin Ness.
He is just a three-star earl.
In terms of age and seniority, he may indeed live longer than Victor.
But in terms of strength.
I am afraid that ten of him cannot match Victor alone.
There is no need to make the two sides hostile just because they want to compete with Victor's fiancee.
If they really fight, Victor will feel bad first.
But if they lose, the face of the entire Kant Kingdom will be lost.
As earls, the earl of the Kant Kingdom can't beat the young knight of the empire.
This will indeed make people laugh.
In short, neither side is pleasing.
Laurin took a deep breath, and then looked at Aurelian who was sitting next to Victor.
He said to Aurelian kindly:
"Your Highness, welcome to come from afar."
"It's getting late. I'll prepare a place for you first. We'll set off for the royal city tomorrow."
Aurelian nodded gently and responded politely:
"Thank you, Earl Laurian, for your thoughtful arrangement."
Amid the sound of horse hooves and wheels rolling over sand and gravel, the carriage drove out of the city steadily and moved along a rugged field path.
The surrounding land was bent by heavy rice and wheat ears. The yellow wheat waves danced in the wind, and the green rice leaves nodded steadily, as if welcoming their arrival.
The Earl turned his head to look at Victor and Aurelian who were still looking at the surrounding scenery, and introduced with a smile: "Welcome to my territory, Shorben."
This is Earl Laurian's territory.
This rural town with thriving agriculture, along with the city they passed by before, is all the territory of Earl Laurian.
The magic train coming in from abroad will only go to this station in this city.
Here, Earl Laurian took on the task of receiving foreign guests.
Aurelian replied to the earl with a polite smile and a slight nod.
She understood that this territory symbolized the influence and power of the earl.
All foreign visitors will be monitored by the owner of this territory at all times.
This is almost impossible in the empire.
At this time, Aurelian turned her head and looked at the dense crops in the fields, and saw the separated wheat fields.
There was a pillar standing on each piece of land, and a golden ear of wheat hung on the top of the pillar.
Seeing this, Aurelian couldn't help but ask the earl curiously:
"Why is there an ear of wheat hanging in the field?"
Before Earl Laurian spoke, Victor explained to Aurelian lightly.
"That is the ear of wheat representing the goddess of abundance."
Earl Laurian was slightly stunned, then smiled and said to Victor:
"Mr. Congressman is really knowledgeable. Indeed, there are many differences between our kingdom and your empire."
"The biggest difference is--"
"We believe in the existence of gods."
Their beliefs are not complicated doctrines, but just understanding of the gods that once existed.
And they hold simple ceremonies on time and offer tributes to seek some comfort.
The ears of wheat hanging on the giant pillars symbolize the harvest of crops.
Although sometimes there will be no harvest due to weather and other reasons, the civilians of the kingdom will still choose to believe in the existence of gods.
This is a superficial belief, but also a belief that goes deep into the heart.
But similarly, there are indeed many cults of gods in the kingdom.
For this, the kingdom is not like the empire, which prohibits the emergence of cults within the country.
Some lords need these cults to stabilize their territories.
For example, Laurian has always done this.
"It is said that in the cult of the goddess of abundance, there are wheat ears that are truly blessed by the gods."
Count Laurian said:
"The believers will make some wheat ears with divine power, and if the nobles can obtain these wheat ears, their territories will have a great harvest in the fall."
"But, after all, this is an item with divine power. Even the cult of the goddess of abundance may not be able to make ten wheat ears in a year."
Speaking of this, Count Laurian's chest was slightly raised, and the strength of his hand holding the cane was also strengthened, full of pride and pride.
Aurelian also understood, looking at the somewhat proud Earl Laureen, she cleared her throat and said in cooperation:
"So, you own those sacred ears of wheat?"
Aurelian was very surprised when she said this.
"No wonder, LaureenEarl, your fields are very fertile. "
Hearing Aurelian's words, Earl Laurian was in a good mood.
He smiled gently and looked at the fertile fields around him, with unstoppable pride in his eyes.
"Thank you, goddess of abundance."
"For bringing us a good harvest every year."
At this time, Vega on Victor's shoulder suddenly opened his one eye.
It stretched its neck, lowered its voice in Victor's ear, and said in a voice that only Victor could hear:
"What this person said is true. There is indeed some power in the fields that promotes growth."
"Tsk tsk, even the goddess of justice will leave behind the scales with her divine power, so how many interesting things did the remaining gods leave behind after leaving the present world?"
Speaking of this, Vega shook the feathers all over his body, and his originally hoarse voice became a little trembling.
I don't know if it was because of excitement or other reasons.
It narrowed its one eye, and a sharp voice slowly sounded:
"I really want to take them all. ”
“Pollute them one by one.”
