Despite the fact that his father is currently residing in the capital, Du Wei believed that his father should have received the news regarding all of this by now
Sitting in the carriage, Du Wei did not bother opening the atch the hustling and bustling streets outside The reason is because it was not needed The noise from the day to day activities of such a prosperous city cannot be denied by such a thinflap
After entering the capital, Mage Clark said his farewell and began heading back to the Magic Union But just before leaving, the old fella left a feords with hidden ured it was his way of saying that he should go visit the Magic Union as soon as possible
At the moment, despite hody it is outside, Du Wei appeared uninterested and sat quietly in the carriage
Passing through a busy street intersection, Du Wei’s convoy finally arrived at the west end not far from the main Palace And to the north of this location is aCanal Not only does this river flow through the very heart of the city, it even surrounds the outer perimeters of the palace Because of this unique layout, the palace is practically a second city within the capital Once war breaks out, it could even act as a military barricade in times of need This was especially true in the past when the capital nearly fell due to rebellion
And facing just south of the Palace’s main entrance is a square the size of two football fields But more importantly is the statue at the very center of this square Riding on top of a majestic horse with a sword raised towards the sky, this is none other than Aragon the founding emperor…
With a history of a thousand years, this statue has weathered through numerous dynastic histories of the imperial palace Of course, this cannot be achieved without the support of the royals By spending a constant flow of money and effort to maintain and repair the statue, its condition to date re further down the square is a straight, flat road about tenfroht sword piercing into the capital city Using this road as a sort of borderline, the southern area outside the palace was practically cut into two sides To the east lies theto theHousehold And the west side contains theto the royal relatives of the emperor that doesn’t hold any power
Of course, the capital still had two very iic union and the temple Placed on opposite ends of each other, these two factions faces off against each other constantly like ters striving for control
Once Du Wei’s convoy ion outside the palace, he had his carriagethe Earls mansion on the east bend
As the coach paused to a stop, Marde gently knocked on the door and whispered fro in a deep breath, Du Wei adjusted his emotions Then, with a deep smile on his face, heDu Wei’s reply, Marde quickly opens the door to allow him to walk off the coach After nearly a year, Du Wei has finally returned to the place where he was born in this world
The Earl’s mansion cannot be considered luxurious in comparison to the other noble fa theat thehousehold cresta crown and tords wrapping around the body…
Not daring to disturb him, the others watched on from the side as Du Wei continued to stare at the crest in front of the carriage
Fro to the Earl had long been waiting at the entrance to welcouidance of Marde, a few of the servants were instructed to bring so his coate to catch sight of his father’s most trusted subordinate “Alpha”
When he was little, the Earl still had high hopes for him and intended for Alpha to tutor hiured out Du Wei had no talents for fighting that the idea was dismissed But Du Wei knew, this Alpha character’s level of h As the most trusted subordinate of Earl Rayh fire and hell in all these years of service Not only did he accompany the Earl on his expeditions down south and achieved countless exploits, this Alpha character was also a famed warrior in the capital
With a tall body and broad shoulders, this person had even held hi Alpha, Du Wei could still see how fit this guy was in how straight his waist looked while wearing his warrior robe If one had to describe this guy, he would be like a co eyes But once the blade is drawn from the scabbard, he would become a treasured sword unmatched in his sharpness!
Other than his ability, Alpha was also a faentleood looks, he hadBut despite all these temptations, Alpha chose the path of a faithful follower to his father Oddly enough, Alpha still didn’t e of over 40 years old, Alpha looked like he was still in his 30’s This is all due to his years of intensive Dou Qi training to keep his body in shape It is only by looking at his pair of blue eyes would one notice the years of life experience he has endured
Even though Alpha uy didn’t put on any air and quickly ca on one knee, Alpha quickly performed a standard family subordinate salute towards hiuards behind hi, Du Wei hurriedly used his hands to pull this faithful subordinate of his father up Du Weibut trash So inwardly, Du Wei feared that his status wouldn’t evenMaster, you have returned” Alpha stood up and smiled: “The trip must have been hard At thefor you in the study rooo meet him immediately”
Du Wei nodded
Froed somewhat after what has taken place up till now If it was before, it was likely only a few servants would coreet him in such a situation But this time around, he actually sent Alpha to receive hi hiht?
“Uncle Alpha” Du Wei deliberately coughed a few ti face as he spoke: “Your skills see you for a year In the co Household contest, you will definitely steal the show”
Alpha just s He followed the Earl for 30 years, so what kind of big waves did he not experience yet? Even when Alpha saw the , he did not show any sort of surprise or change in his expression The only thing the guy did was esture and led Du Wei towards thethe way, they did not speak because Du Wei knew this Alpha character is not a person of many words As such, Du Wei only paid attention to the furnishi+ng inside his home while they walked
After one year away, the mansion seemed even arden, he noticed soarden Fro flowers for bouquets and placing the it over, Du Wei realized what they were preparingsummer festival
As the day approaches, the joyous at the house servants could clearly be seen So when the servants looked behind Alpha and saw that the young master has returned, they quickly bent over in salute with a sed a lot” Du Wei freely said this
Unexpectedly, the usually silent Alpha suddenly replied to his words: “You are correct In the past year, the Earl has gained the trust of his majesty As such, the entire lanced at Alpha But to his surprise, the guy was also glancing at hi Du Wei had noticed his prying; Alpha quickly turned his eyes away and continued walking It’s just that when they reached the inner court, Alpha see beside hi Master, recently, the situation in the capital isn’t very good For security reasons, it would be for the best that you don’t go out often”
Du Wei was slightly surprised, but when he looks up at Alpha, the guy was looking forith a cal
Inwardly, Du Wei could not understand why this Alpha character suddenly reuy wanted to warn hiuard captain had always been cool and calive another person a second glance or say any extra kind words
Once they were in front of the study roolance as he suard captain turned around and walked aithout looking back
Taking a deep breath, Du Wei opened the study room’s door and went inside
In co castle back in the Roland Plains This was the same for the study room The book collection was also far less when co castle
But in truth, this study roo been converted to an ieneral, so naturally there would be fewer books in the room
In his father’s study room, only military docue desk inside, only ih command documents could be seen
The study room may seem quiet from appearance, but Du Wei knew that this room was the most heavily secured places in the mansion
For an old noble fas are naturally different Unlike those that would showcase all their cards up front, the Rowling faest cards in the shadow
