Chapter 268: The Imperial Frontier
Chapter 263 – Imperial Border Gate
Owen, who was sitting quietly, looked inconspicuous, although he was very handsome, but his bland temperament couldn’t give an unforgettable impression to those who met him for the first time, because it was hard to see impressive traits from the other party, such as arrogance, suspicion, greed, and other common characteristics of nobles, as if it was polished and bound, it didn’t seem to have aggression and threat, and it wasn’t even as good as the Legend who stood beside him. The female warrior standing beside him was even less eye-catching than the Legendary Warrior, because the three of them had never seen a Legendary in a maid’s outfit.
Although Owen looked ordinary, no one would underestimate him, not to mention the legendary warrior standing beside him, what they saw and heard along the way made Marquis Burgasus elevate the other party to a position equal to his own, or even higher, because with their strength, they couldn’t build such a strong city in the Northland.
Whether it is commoners, nobles, or professionals, big fists and strong power is capital, the weak should have the consciousness of the weak, so throw away the useless temptation and arrogance, and soon entered the conversation.
The communication between the nobles is not so tedious, if you talk for half a day and still have not entered the main topic, it means that the other party is not willing to talk or not enough interest, it is best to consciously get out of the way.
After some exchanges, Marquis Burgassus keenly found that the other party is not good at rhetoric, but the knowledge is quite rich, surprisingly is a very rare scholarly nobles.
Marquis Burgassus did not therefore have some contempt, although the magic perception ornament did not vibrate, but a home is full of magic, himself also has the elf blood noble scholar, said the other side does not understand magic is simply self-deceiving.
For a mage, no matter how cautious is not too much, not to mention that the other party may not have a high IQ, but the IQ is absolutely no problem, so Marquis Burgassus spoke very cautiously.
When the conversation came to an end, Owen clapped his hands, and the house elf Siko, the castle’s cook, flew through the magic and teleported the carefully cooked food to the table.
Because in his last life, he was born in a gourmet country, it was fine if he didn’t have the conditions, but after he had the conditions, Owen not only wanted to recreate the food from his previous life, but also the food from the other world and the many game worlds in the system.
Of course, all of these were handed over to the lovely Siko, although the cook didn’t look good, but her handiwork was really awesome.
Hogwarts food magic with countless recipes plus many rare ingredients, even from the royal family of the ninth princess Sia can not stop eating.
If the magical ornaments on their bodies didn’t give off an alarm, they would have thought they were cursed or had been given a magic potion.
Never mind how the city is, food will always make people feel happy, and it is also easy to pull in the distance between the two sides, so when the dinner plate was removed and replaced with dessert, the second round of conversation became much easier.
Regarding traveling to the imperial capital to receive the enthronement, Owen didn’t show any resistance, which made Marquis Burgassus, who was the envoy, breathe a sigh of relief.
Hydra could be said to be the strongest force in the Northlands, and if he did not accept the Imperial Ennoblement, it would definitely cause some negative effects.
It was not that the Empire was incapable of destroying the other side, the problem was that it was not necessary and it was not that easy.
Just using a legendary warrior as a maid, this backbone was enough to make the emperor think a little longer.
Although a Legendary Warrior on the battlefield would at best affect the odds of both sides, not enough to pose a threat to the Empire, the problem was that a power that displayed magic everywhere would not have a Legendary Mage?
Legendary warriors and legendary mages were simply two different concepts, the former being able to influence a war and the latter being able to influence an empire.
No one knew how much damage a Legendary Mage who tried to create a disaster could cause, and even less wanted to see it.
So even if Hydra clearly refused to be knighted, the empire would not necessarily use strong-arm tactics, but he, the imperial envoy who went to the north to do business, would be sitting on wax, and would inevitably be used as a scapegoat. The good thing is that the other party’s attitude is good, and it looks like they are very interested in the Imperial Academy.
Thinking of this, Marquis Burgassus heart a move, the surface does not move, in fact, the topic is beginning to bias the Imperial College, especially the nine princess Thea is the Imperial College students, so the topic is there.
For the two of them cooperating to steer the topic, Count Dekra did not have the intention to interrupt, because Hydra joining the empire, or even entering the Imperial Academy, would be beneficial to him as well.
This was the consensus, because for the three, the only way to go further was for Owen to join a circle, so no one was going to be bad at this point.
Compared to the day trips where the other Northland Lords were concerned, the envoy group stayed in the North City for three whole days before they were ready to return.
Because to go to the imperial capital to accept the enthronement, through the envoy group assessment of the northland nobles to go along with, so Owen also want to follow along, so that all the way can also save a lot of trouble.
Owen appeared naturally not alone on the road, in addition to Char personal guards, endure secretly follow, there are witch hunters, Teutonic warriors, Templars each ten people, and another chest armor cavalry one hundred, can be said that the ordinary soldiers and horses thousands of people will not be a threat to him at all.
See Owen with the strong soldiers, Marquis Burgassus three people are not surprised, even in the city, the nobleman out is not accompanied by soldiers and horses, really think the world is peaceful casually go out to the wave of all dead.
A road side by side convergence, and so arrived at the border of the empire, the number of the whole team has been as high as more than two thousand people, if not for the imperial envoys, not allowed to approach the border of the empire, not to mention through the border.
When they arrived in front of a pass, the three members of the envoy group didn’t show up at all, and their own men went over to deal with them.
Owen’s eyes are good, far from seeing that the envoys do not have the intention to show the paperwork, just reprimanded a few sentences, the officer who guarded the gate obediently ordered his men to open the gate, and both sides are completely accustomed to this, no one feels that there is any problem.
In the view of the envoys, they were noble people from the imperial capital, and didn’t need to look at the face of anyone in the place at all.
Coincidentally, the Imperial Border Army felt the same way.
The vast majority of the Imperial Border Troops were mucking around, and they knew very well what would happen to them if they were on strict duty, which would only result in their superiors giving them away to offended nobles to take out their anger, so they didn’t offend them if they could.
As for whether the other party would be an enemy in disguise, don’t tease, from their grandfather’s grandfather’s generation, they had never seen any foreign enemy, even if hundreds of thousands of chaotic people poured out of the border some time ago, there were not many who dared to cause trouble in the place where the imperial border troops were guarding, in this situation, where would the vigilance come from.
Owen heart some complex follow the envoy group through more than ten meters high, nearly ten meters wide, just the city gate has four of the majestic border, secretly if leading the attack, afraid not to die a million or so thousands of even the city wall can not be turned over, after all, this majestic pass on a cannon is not a pose, but the guards are so childish, do not know for him is good or bad.
No matter what, after stepping out of the border, it means that he has finally come to the empire after many years of silent farming in the northern part of the country, even if it is still only the border of the empire.
