From the far end of the street, several gorgeous carriages slowly drove towards the center.
The sound of wheels intertwined into a complex melody in the air, and the speed gradually slowed down as the distance shortened.
The noble convoy stopped neatly in front of a huge iron gate and lined up.
Behind the huge iron gate is a spacious manor. A stone-brick fountain is placed in the center of the courtyard, with a lion-shaped spring mouth constantly spouting crystal water droplets.
Paths paved with red bricks wind out from both sides of the fountain and extend to every corner of the estate.
Both sides of the road are covered with lush green vegetation, and lush and chaotic flower clusters are also dotted among the green, and they are colorful.
The huge marble castle stood quietly at the end of the courtyard, its huge walls almost blocking half of the sky.
And those solid stone pillars support the circular vault, making it even more majestic.
The servants were already waiting in front of the gate. When they saw the noble carriages approaching, they immediately rushed forward and opened the door for each carriage.
The nobles stepped out of their cars one after another and stood on the clean cobblestone road on the steps.
But as soon as they took a few steps, they staggered a little, and their faces showed unconcealable fear.
It was as if I had just experienced the edge of life and death.
After a while, the demihumans with animal ears also emerged from the carriages of the noble carriages.
They were fully armed and looked solemn.
The source of fear for the nobles of these kingdoms is these well-equipped demihumans.
In the human world, demihumans are considered beasts.
But this time, they were sitting in the same carriage as these beasts.
This can't help but make their hearts beat faster, as if their lives are in danger at any time.
Naturally, this was not the first time for these nobles to see demi-humans, but the group of demi-humans in front of them was very different from before.
The aura they exuded made the nobles feel in awe.
Each of these petite but muscular figures is wearing murderous armor, and the flashing light in their eyes is more like an experienced hunter than a simple beast.
The foreign ministers also followed the convoy out of the carriage. They stepped on the cobblestone road with steady steps.
Breathing the air of a foreign country, he smiled at the trembling nobles and said:
"Calm down, everyone."
"Look, you guys are just not used to it yet. You haven't seen it before, right?"
"This is the demi-human escort of Count Victor Cravenna's family."
The foreign ministers told the nobles of the Kingdom of Kanter the glorious achievements of these demihumans.
Once upon a time, these demihumans followed the princess of the Kalencia Empire to the adventurer capital on the southern edge to gain experience, killing countless monsters and shouldering military exploits.
The nobles of the kingdom looked at the diplomats of the empire talking so arrogantly to these demi-humans, and they couldn't help but admire them, the foreign ministers.
They could even act so calm when facing such dangerous demi-humans.
Could it be that...the empire already has the technology to train demihumans?
There are not many demi-humans in the Kingdom of Cantor.
After all, the Kingdom of Cantor does not use policies to deliberately control the number of these demihumans like the Kalencia Empire.
The interior of the Kingdom of Cantor focuses on species diversity.
In the kingdom, demihuman slaves can be found almost everywhere.
There may even be demihumans appearing in some forests.
The Kingdom of Kantor has never banned demi-humans from entering the country, nor has it enacted any laws against demi-humans.
Even in the streets and alleys here, you can often see demihuman traders openly selling demihuman slaves.
However, demi-humans are similar to animals after all. Without much intelligence and thought, they are simply the easiest tools to use for slavery.
People in the Kingdom of Canter, especially the nobles, looked down on demi-humans almost to their core.
Because they are simply wild beasts that have not been tamed.
It's okay to look down on it, but no one wants to meet a wild dog on the road and be bitten by a wild dog.
After all, there have been incidents where lords were brutally attacked and killed by demihumans because of their mistreatment of demihuman slaves.
Although demi-humans are always inferior to others, the power and ferocity of demi-humans cannot be underestimated.
This caused them to feel envious when they saw the extremely obedient and well-trained demi-human guards of the Victor family.
And when they learned that these demi-humans would not bite anyone casually.
Their fear of these demi-humans suddenly weakened a bit.
After all, these nobles subconsciously thought.
These demihuman guards are just demihuman slaves of the Cravena family.
The master of these demihumans is naturally Victor.
Some bold nobles even took the initiative to approach the demihuman guards, looking at the bone armor on the demihumans with their curious eyes, surrounding them in admiration.
"The Cravenner family has such a strong foundation."
"Yes, even the equipment of these demi-humans is so well-made."
At this time, the luxury carriage at the front of the motorcade also gradually stopped.
Count Lauryn got off the carriage first and stood on one side of the carriage, bowing slightly to the carriage to show respect.
Immediately afterwards, a figure in a jet black trench coat stepped out of the carriage.
Victor stood on the other side, with one hand on his chest, and while bowing slightly, the other hand reached towards the carriage.
From the curtain of the carriage, a white jade hand stretched out.
Aurelion put her palm firmly on Victor's generous palm, stepped on the steps, and stepped out of the carriage.
Earl Lauryn bowed gracefully to her and said respectfully:
"Excuse me, Princess, please stay at my manor for one night."
"I've prepared a room for you."
"and……"
Lord Lauryn nodded to the maids behind him, and the maids stepped forward and bowed to Aurelion.
"The servants are also ready for you."
Aurelion nodded towards Count Lauryn with a full smile:
"Thank you for your kindness, Earl, but a servant is not necessary."
As soon as he finished speaking, the demihuman guards who had already been lined up came forward collectively.
Taking heavy and consistent steps, the bone armor on his body collided with each other, making a dull sound.
The entire team exuded a fierce momentum.
In front of everyone, they walked up to Aurelion, put their arms on their chests, and bowed deeply to her.
"your Highness."
In the midst of everyone's confused gaze, a white-haired cat-eared girl wearing a maid outfit walked out of the demi-human team.
She took light and delicate steps, twisted her slender waist, and walked up to Aurelion dignifiedly and nimbly.
The white ears twitched, as if she was a little nervous, but her dignified manners were no less impressive than those of maids who had been trained for longer.
Count Lauryn's face was slightly stiff, and his body tilted back slightly involuntarily.
The expression on his face was obviously one of disbelief.
The demi-human actually wears a maid outfit! ? And make ceremonial gestures that are almost indistinguishable from humans?
How is this possible in terms of subhuman wisdom?
Is the empire's domestication technology so good that demihumans can perform the work of maids?
Aurelion didn't care at all about Earl Lauryn's surprise and confusion, and just said with a slight smile.
"This is the maid I brought this time. Her name is Xiang Zilan. She is responsible for taking care of my daily life."
She seemed to deliberately bite every word hard.
"I'm just used to letting her take care of me."
This sentence made Count Lauryn even more confused.
The princess of the Kalencia Empire actually let a demi-human take care of her daily life?
No matter which way he looked at it, he felt it was a bit ridiculous.
But he still heard from the princess's words that she was not used to other servants, so he lowered his head and said respectfully:
"I understand, Your Highness."
Since the princess has someone to take care of her, he will naturally not make things difficult for her.
After all, this princess from the Kalencia Empire is not just a princess from a neighboring country.
He is also his immediate boss and a legend in the entire Canter Kingdom.
The granddaughter of the only person in the kingdom who can be called a Grand Duke.
So, he turned his head again, looked at Victor, and said with respect.
"Congressman Cravenner, I have prepared your room as well."
This man is even more heavyweight.
Although Victor is visiting the kingdom in the name of the imperial count and the princess’s teacher.
But his status as a parliamentarian and his own power cannot be ignored.
Almost all countries except the empire have agreed on a standard.
Once 'Victor Cravener' appears in his own country, he must be treated with the highest courtesy and monitor this congressman at all times.
No one wants this [Judgment that Strips All Things] to randomly throw a war magic in a corner of their country.
Few countries can afford it.
Naturally, Victor was not picky about where to sleep.
He just nodded, but suddenly, a figure as cold as ice walked past Victor.
Gwen looked at Count Lauryn with an expressionless expression, and asked in a voice without any emotion.
"Is there hot water in our room?"
After the words fell, Aurelion's expression next to her froze slightly.
Lauryn looked at Gwen, and her brain couldn't help but work rapidly.
In fact, at the beginning, he planned to give corresponding respect to Gwen, an earl who also came from the empire.
So he had already prepared a room for this Earl Knight.
But now he suddenly reacted.
This Earl of Gwen, she and this Councilor of Cravenna.
It’s the relationship between an unmarried couple!
Count Lauryn looked at Gwen and then at Victor.
So, he said decisively:
"Of course, Lord Gwen."
"The room I have prepared for you and the Councilor is stocked with everything you may need."
At this point, he said casually like he was half-joking:
"But now it seems that I have to prepare a bigger bathtub for you two."
