King Kelman really treats Princess Onian as his heartthrob and cannot wait for her at all. On the day when the princess returned to the court, the king sent a group of important court officials and wealthy nobles to greet her outside the city of Salyuhi.
The welcoming team was also very interesting.
Governor Yuanyasu led a group of people to stand on one side of the stone road, and Prime Minister Fuller stood behind him.
Prince Reza led another group of people to stand on the other side, and Archbishop Herod of the Orthodox Church stood behind him.
Alvin looked carefully and saw that the aristocratic senators in the city, such as Laiwu's father, Duke Nanton, were standing in the row with Governor Yuanyaang, and Miss Junyun was also standing not far behind his father. And some newly promoted nobles stood with Prince Reza. In order to support Prince Reza, the archbishop brought several important bishops from the church. Thinking of this, Alvin couldn't help but admire his father for being unable to come to such an important occasion.
Young nobles such as Laiwu and Chenzhu who had no official positions stood at the end of the line. They naturally stood with Governor Yuanyasu.
Alvin looked over to Prince Resa and saw Lan Yu and her brother standing not far from Prince Resa. Because he got up early, he couldn't help covering his mouth and yawned again. He looked up at the rising sun and thought that it was rare to get up so early. In the past few days, he had been thinking about the laws of time and space and thinking about Lao Wan. When he thought about that day I couldn't sleep due to the battle with Lan Yu in the offensive and defensive class.
Fortunately, the princess didn't keep everyone waiting, and when Alvin beat his leg for the fifth or sixth time, he finally saw the princess's car on the main road of the King's Province.
At the front of the convoy were six knights from the Royal Guard on each side, each with a spear and silver armor, riding a purebred Zamu Plateau horse, all with gray hair and white mane.
Behind it are four tall white horses pulling a luxurious four-wheel carriage with gilded railings. This is the princess's carriage. Behind the chariot were two columns of female magicians riding white horses and wearing gray robes. They seemed to be the princess's maid guards.
Alvin looked at these well-trained female magicians and thought that they all seemed to have good skills.
"Wow, what a big battle..." Lai Wu said in a suppressed voice.
"After all, she is your majesty's most beloved princess," Chen Zhu also said softly, "don't you look at the battle that greeted us today. Apart from your majesty, all the important people in Saliuxi City are here..."
"Princess Onian has been studying with Master Piro for how many years?" Alvin asked in a low voice.
"I don't remember. It seems to have been six or seven years ago, right? Is it gone?" Kaiba frowned as he recalled it.
"I don't know. Anyway, I heard that he had outstanding talent in magic since he was a child. He was spotted by Master Piro when he was twelve or thirteen years old and took him for further study." Laiwu said.
"Wow, you were tortured at such a young age. Master is so awesome." Alvin covered his mouth with his hand and teased in a low voice.
Chenzhu and Kaiba couldn't help but cover their faces with their hands when they heard this, fearing that they wouldn't be able to hold back and laugh out loud.
"Your mouth is still damaged." Laiwu rolled his eyes at Alvin, "Master Piro is almost seventy..."
On the other side, Lan Yu looked at this serious scene and couldn't help but sneered, "As for..."
Gafo turned around and glared at her, fearing that this sister would say something shocking again.
The exquisite carriage slowly stopped in front of everyone. A palace attendant had handed over the footstool in advance, and the high-ranking officials in both rows bowed and saluted. Princess Onian walked out of the carriage gracefully. She glanced at the two rows of bowing officials with a faint look. The king also told her about the situation in the empire in a letter.
Alvin was not the kind of person who would bow down and salute obediently. He used the cover of the crowd to lower his head and secretly look at the princess from time to time.
Originally, he thought that Lan Yu was the most eye-catching girl in Saluhi City, but after taking a look at Princess Onian, he couldn't help but be impressed by her magnanimity. That kind of grace that accommodates all things and overlooks the common people makes you feel ashamed if you look at it twice. Under the sunlight, each silver-white hair exuded a bright luster, faintly covering the light of the princess's crown. The long hair coiled on one side clearly highlights the lines of the cheek on the other side. Every feature on the proud and sharp little face is so carefully crafted. If it weren't for a pair of golden eyes that are so outstanding, I really don't know what to do. Where to look.
A snow-white long skirt perfectly accentuated her slender figure, with firm breasts and two crescent-shaped slits on her slender waist, exposing the princess's soft waistline, adding a touch of holiness to her outfit. Distribute the smoke and fire. What surprised Alvin was that the princess was also wearing a floor-length ivory white wool cloak. Could it be that the standard accessory of powerful female magicians now is a white wool cloak?
In terms of appearance alone, Aonian and Lan Yu are indistinguishable, but their personalities and demeanor are quite different. Princess Onian is the warm sunshine shining on the mountains and rivers, making people feel humble and humble when they see her. However, Lan Marriage is very changeable, and sometimes it is a cold and cold mountain, which is daunting. Sometimes it is a sea of arrogant flames, charming but dangerous.
"Everyone, please get up quickly." Princess Onian said with a smile.
"Welcome to the return of Your Highness the Princess. It's been a long journey. Thank you for your hard work, Your Highness." Governor Yuan Yasu greeted him first with a smile, and several important ministers behind him also stepped forward to offer their kind words.
Prince Resa did not appear to be so deliberately trying to please, and smiled peacefully.
The princess smiled and nodded in response, and naturally she would not forget Prince Resa.
Prince Reza took advantage of the princess to greet everyone and took a closer look at Onian. He was surprised. He did not expect that the royal family had such an outstanding person.
"Cough" came a cough from the carriage.
The princess covered her mouth and smiled softly when she heard the sound, and walked back to the carriage, "Teacher, I will help you down right now..."
I saw a trembling old man walking out of the carriage. This should be the most respected magician in the Yafei Empire──Master Piro.
Alvin took a look from a distance and saw that he must be in his seventies or eighties, but his eyes were bright.
Everyone was surprised. It had been almost 20 or 30 years since Master Piro resigned as the head of the Palace Mage Group. He had been living in seclusion in Gransburg and had not been interested in world affairs for many years. Why would he return to the court with the princess this time?
You must know that when Master Piro was in a high position, many talents present were serving as officials.
Piro didn't care about everyone's opinions. He was supported by the princess with one hand and a thick wooden staff that was taller than others with the other hand. He looked left and right with his lips pouted. It seems that he has also noticed that many people present are students who he either promoted or taught in those years. The "students" who were swept by his eyes bowed their heads and saluted. It seemed that this legendary magician still had sufficient status in their hearts.
Master Piro paused for a moment when he walked in front of Prince Resa, glanced at the prince's green eyes, seemed to think about it, and then calmly looked back.
Prince Resa is also calm and composed, and has a lot of skills in cultivating his energy.
Master Piro did not look at the crowd, but looked intently at the city gate made of Shanyin stone by Salyuhi, thoughtfully, sighed in his heart, glanced at the princess beside him, and said softly, "Let's go in. City."
The princess nodded, and the discerning palace attendants brought two Zamu Plateau war horses, one white and one gray. The princess stroked the mane of the white war horse with her hand, and bursts of white light appeared on the mane. The white horse knelt on its front hooves as if it was spiritually enlightened, and then straightened up after the princess had stabilized its ride. Master Piro was much more trouble-free. He knocked the staff on the ground, and a magical halo spread out from under the staff and hit the gray war horse, so the horse knelt down knowingly.
The princess and Master Piro entered the south gate of Salyuhi one after another, and led the convoy along Phoenix Avenue from the outer city to the inner city to the palace.
The crowd saluted again at the princess's retreating back.
The wide Phoenix Street was lined with royal guards arranged by the king. The people watching the excitement stood behind the guards with golden swords and silver armor, curiously poking their heads and tiptoes, all wanting to catch a glimpse of the princess's face.
"Look, that's Princess Onian, the one riding the white horse..."
"Eh? Isn't that Master Piro? Why is he back? Isn't he always in Gransburg?"
"Who says it's not the case? However, Prince Reza is back, so it's not surprising that Master Piro is back."
"Look, with the princess's appearance and demeanor, there is no one in the entire empire who can compare with her..."
"That's not necessarily true. I heard someone say that Prince Reza's third daughter is just as beautiful as the princess."
"Fuck you, no matter how much you think that princesses are the most beautiful, don't you think so?"
"Yes, yes, that's right. But I heard that the princess is going to participate in the Pillow Sword Club when she comes back this time. I heard that Prince Reza's daughter is also a magician, and she is also very powerful. Then she and the princess If you encounter it, then..."
"What the hell, how could Master Piro's closed disciple not be able to beat the prince's daughter?"
"What do you know? I heard that the master of the prince's family is Master Feiyue? He is also a grandmother-level figure..."
"I heard that Feiyue once killed a blue-scaled dragon by herself in the Traledi Mountains."
"Even though Master Feiyue is powerful, he is still Master Piro's junior, so thinking about it, the princess should be more powerful..."
A group of people were arguing fiercely about who was more beautiful and powerful, Aonian or Lan Yu.
-------------------------------------------------- ----------
Seeing the princess's car driving away, the high-ranking officials and nobles outside the city began to disperse.
"Don't tell me, Master Piro looks really old..." Alvin raised the corner of his mouth.
"I didn't expect that Master Piro would also come back together." Laiwu said thoughtfully.
"By the way, how are you preparing?" Lai Wu came back to his senses and glanced at Alvin, "I said pillow sword meeting."
"How are you preparing?" Alvin thought to himself that he had been thinking about the laws of time and space in the past few days, and he had no idea, so he could only ask one question.
"What can I do? I just want to show my face anyway." Laiwu said with a wry smile.
"Has the lineup for the match come out?" Kaiba glanced at the two of them.
"It should be out soon. It will depend on your performance then." Chen Zhu laughed, "The list is out, and the peripheral handicap will be out soon. When the time comes, I will place a few bets and make a big profit." .”
"Okay." Kaiba also laughed.
"You mean when it's Alvin and I's turn, we'll go crazy and fight against each other?" Lai Wu looked at Chen Zhu and laughed loudly.
"That's not necessarily true. Maybe you can survive one or two rounds. It depends on the odds," Chen Zhu explained.
Laiwu smiled and nodded vigorously, accepting the ridicule generously. Alvin looked at these money-hungry and evil-minded brothers and couldn't help but laugh.
A few people were chatting nonsense when a charming voice and shadow came over.
"Alvin!" A soft cry was heard, followed by an instant lightning paralysis spell, directed towards Alvin's waist.
The moment Alvin turned around, he held up a magic shield with his backhand. Although the lightning spell was hindered when it hit the magic shield, lightning flashes were scattered from the exploding magic turbulence, and he was ready to bypass it at any time. The magic shield attacked Alvin. Alvin frowned and increased the magic power he instilled, so that he could block all these tiny lightning bolts. Alvin looked at this instant spell in surprise, raised his head and looked at the person in surprise.
"Are you crazy?" Alvin glared at the visitor. Lai Wu and others behind him all looked like they were watching a show.
"I just want you to be alert at all times." Lan Yu pouted and said innocently, then suddenly raised her green eyes and asked curiously, "How is it? How does my instant spell magic feel?"
Alvin thought to himself, it turns out that this is incantation magic, but can incantation magic be instantaneous? I just read the book "The Origin of Conjuration Magic" and learned a lot of new tricks.
"Have you finished the book? Return it to me immediately." Alvin said angrily.
"How could it be so fast?" Lan Yu said with a smile, and Alvin obviously felt that she didn't want to return it.
Lan Yu pouted again and said, "Let's go and have breakfast with me. I've been standing all morning and I'm so hungry that I can hardly stand anymore."
When a beauty invites him, Alvin is naturally willing to accept her invitation, but this beauty wants to test her magic on him from time to time, which is very uncomfortable.
Alvin is naturally the type who heals his scars and forgets the pain. He must have forgotten his otherworldly appearance when he was in the hospital bed.
Alvin turned to look at the brothers and found that the brothers had no intention of wading into this muddy water. They all smiled and shook their heads to indicate that they would not participate. Of course, Lan Yu had no intention of inviting Laiwu and the others.
So, Alvin and Lan Yu walked into the city to have breakfast.
"If you have breakfast, you won't get a few more holes in your body, right?" Kaiba said worriedly as he looked at the two people's backs as they drifted away.
"That's not the case. It's possible that a layer of skin will fall off due to electricity." Lai Wu said with a smile.
The three of them looked at me, and I looked at you, and burst into laughter again.
"I just looked at you, and my eyes were about to fall off when I stared at that princess," Lan You said quietly, "Is she so beautiful?"
"She's quite good-looking and has a good figure." Alvin said seriously.
"Well, I think it's pretty good-looking too." Lan Yu smiled and stroked a paralyzing lightning bolt on Alvin's waist.
"Hiss" Alvin screamed in pain and numbness, and quickly patted his waist to extinguish the lightning.
"Oh, what's wrong with you, so careless?" Lan Yu showed concern in her eyes.
Alvin glared at her and said nothing.
Lan Yu was not afraid of him and asked with a smile, "Then let me ask you again, is the princess good-looking?"
"I don't know, I might be blind, I didn't see anything..." Alvin replied with a serious face.
Lan Yu couldn't help laughing out loud after hearing this.
After entering the city, the two of them turned a corner from Phoenix Street and walked directly to the east of the outer city.
"What are you eating?" Alvin finally remembered and asked.
"Why don't you just come with me and sell you?" Lan Yu glanced at Alvin.
"That's not true." Alvin mocked, thinking that no matter what, he was probably more familiar with Salyuhi in the city. Wasn't Prince Ressa always stationed in the Province of Maine? This perverse royal lady must also have grown up in Maine.
Even if it is as prosperous as the royal capital Saluhi, the outer city is still a mixed area of dragons and snakes. In addition to the neighborhoods where ordinary people live, there are also many thieves and bandits, as well as places where prostitutes gather. If you accidentally go the wrong way, you may lose your life.
Lan Yu led Alvin around the alleys for a while. Alvin was surprised and wondered how this little girl knew this road so well.
From time to time in the alleys, women who had finished washing their clothes looked at the two young men dressed as nobles with vigilance. Some children playing around also stopped and looked at the couple curiously, and there were even some idle drunkards. Drunkly, he stood on the eaves and whistled at Lan Yu. Lan Yu ignored them and walked straight without looking back. Not long after, she heard muffled noises and saw several drunkards who had been hit by various instant magics, "clearing clang" He fell from the second floor. Alvin glanced back and saw the smoking drunkards there, and he broke out in a cold sweat thinking that it turned out that she had been merciful to the torturous magic she had cast on her.
Alvin looked back and forth. If Lan Yu hadn't led the way through this complicated alley, he might not have been able to find his way. He began to feel that he might really be sold.
"Giggle, look at how timid you are, why are you so scared?" Lan Yu glanced at Alvin funny, "Are you afraid that I will really sell you out?"
"I'm scared of you. I was wondering how you know so much about this place." Alvin defended.
"I also lived in this city for a while when I was a child. Don't you know?" Lan Yu asked.
Alvin shook his head, thinking that he had lived there since he was a child, so it was impossible to live in an outer city.
"At that time, my father had not yet become a prince, and he was not a governor, but a regiment commander. Although he also bought a mansion in the inner city, it was an old mansion and needed to be renovated," Lan Yu explained. Within a few months, before we could move in, my father was sent to Maine, and our whole family followed."
The two finally walked back to a main road. Lan Yu pointed to a courtyard beside the road, "Here, do you see it? I lived there when I was a child."
Alvin took a look at the compact and unique courtyard, but he didn't expect that there was such an exquisite courtyard in the outer city.
"Here, the breakfast at the shop on the corner makes me hungry as hell just thinking about it. Come on, hurry up, we won't have anything to eat later." Lan Yu pointed to the distance, interrupting Alvin's train of thought.
