"We are from —"
As soon as Tang En opened his mouth, Aurelia in the carriage quickly answered, "We are from Alinx, members of the Gondar Mithril Association. Recently, the supply of mithril has suddenly decreased a lot. We were ordered to come here to check the situation. This is our proof."
Aurelia lifted the curtain and handed over a badge.
Seeing the badge of the Gondar Mithril Association, the guards relaxed a little, but they were still a little uncertain about the fact that it was from Alinx.
The badge was real.
"The entrance tax is ten copper coins per person, and one silver coin for the drake. And you, coachman, put this badge on it and keep an eye on it. If it causes trouble, we will not show mercy!"
Carriage, coachman … The corner of Tang En's eyes twitched as he smiled.
The guard handed Tang En a badge authorizing the drake to move in Taris. After paying the fee, they entered the city smoothly.
"Why don't you confess that we are from Ellington and are here to see Lord Nitro?"
Tang En was a little puzzled. "Wouldn't it be more convenient for them to report?"
"What if there are spies from Alinx?"
Aurelia sighed. "Although it's sad to say this, the spies of the royal family are everywhere. If they are all controlled, the information will be sent to Girard."
Tang En thought. "And once he knows that the emissary of Ellington has come to Taris, Girard will immediately take action and destroy our meeting."
"And you think these soldiers are qualified to report to Grandpa Nitro?"
Aurelia said helplessly. "I'm afraid it will be tomorrow by the time they report the results. It's better for us to enter the city and look for him directly. I just happened to get the badge of the Gondar Mithril Association using Nightsong's identity. It can be used at this time."
As mithril was the most important economic lifeline here, the Gondar Mithril Association's status in Taris was quite high, and they also had some privileges in front of the guards.
Compared to the outside, the city of Taris was a little livelier. Perhaps it was because of the high city walls, or perhaps it was because of the strong military strength. In short, Nitro had given them a very safe environment, allowing them to live peacefully in such an environment.
However, due to the large influx of people, the huge city had become quite crowded. The bustling crowd looked like the provincial capital on Earth.
Ordinary carriages could not maintain their speed on such roads. Thanks to the particularly domineering drake, Tang En's dragon carriage walked on the street, pedestrians were afraid of the drake.
"That must be the drake that the Empire restricted its export … It looks dangerous."
"Yes, Earth Dragons are very expensive, worth thousands of gold coins. It is said that smuggling Earth Dragons is very profitable, but not many people can walk out of the Ryan Empire alive."
"Who's in the dragon carriage? Who can't afford to use the drake must be important? The dragon carriage looks so plain, and the coachman's clothes are nothing special … "
Hey, I'm sorry for being so ordinary!
Tang En gritted his teeth and smiled. He forced himself to ignore the gossip of the passersby and followed Aurelia's instructions all the way to Lord Nitro's castle along the street.
The so-called Castellan's Mansion was the castle in the inner city. As the core of Taris, the castle's defense was even stronger. Although the city walls were not as high as the outer city walls, there were a large number of archers and watchtowers. Tang En even saw the shadow of magic crystal cannons.
It was said that Nitro had many Prophets working for him, and he also had a large number of magical beasts. Their comprehensive combat power was quite amazing.
So far, Taris had never been breached.
As soon as they approached the castle gate, a row of guards raised their spears in unison. "Stop! The Lord's Mansion is in front. Report your identity! "
Tang En stopped the dragon carriage, and Aurelia and Olina got off. The captain of the guards stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "I'm Captain Tang En. Please show me the evidence that can prove your identity."
Tang En was about to speak, but Aurelia quietly tugged at him. Then she stepped forward, took off the gem ring on her finger, and handed it to the captain. "Please give this to Lord Nitro. He'll understand when he sees it."
A crisp and pleasant voice came from under the cloak. Kyle was stunned for a moment. Looking at the ring in his hand, he couldn't help but gasp. "… I understand! Please wait a moment! "
With that, Kyle turned around and ran into the castle.
They didn't have to wait too long. About ten minutes later, Kyle returned.
Then, Kyle suddenly shouted, "How dare you cheat in the Lord's Mansion! Guards! Arrest them! "
Aurelia was stunned, and her face was full of disbelief. "What did you say?!"
Were they too late?
Was Grandpa Nitro already under control?!
Was it really going to end like this?!
Tang En's face darkened. Just as he was about to break in, he suddenly saw Kyle, who was standing behind the guards, winking at them. He quietly pointed at the soldiers next to him. Tang En was stunned for a moment, and silently dispersed his magic power.
Kyle deliberately shouted, "How dare you cheat here? You really don't know your place … Taylor, pull the dragon carriage to the stable in the backyard. This is a good thing. Don't break it! Karl, Ignatsu, Joseph, take them and come with me. I want to let them have a taste of my methods! "
"Yes! Captain! "
The soldier named Taylor pulled the dragon carriage away, and the other three soldiers came to Tang En. They were all Kyle's confidants. As soon as they heard Kyle's words, they immediately guessed what he meant. They deliberately shouted impatiently, "Go, go! Don't make me do it! "
Aurelia and Olina were both panic-stricken. They looked at Tang En for help.
Tang En gestured with his mouth, and then ran into the castle in a panic. In his panic, he almost fell to the ground, causing the guards beside him to burst into laughter.
Aurelia saw the look in Tang En's eyes, and she also came to her senses. She stumbled and dragged Olina into the castle, and at the same time, she said in horror, "I, I really didn't know this is the Lord's Mansion! I beg you, I beg you to spare us — — "
"Go, go! Now you regret it? It's too late! "
Karl and the others looked impatient and urged the three of them to walk to the side of the castle. When they turned a corner and could not see the guards on duty and patrol, Kyle immediately turned and knelt down on one knee. "Because of the special situation, we have to use this method. Please forgive us, Your Highness, Your Highness. I am Kyle, the captain of the Lord's Mansion Garrison."
The three guards behind him were startled. Although they knew there was an inside story, they did not expect it to be the Princess!
The three hurriedly knelt down on one knee.
Queen Olina was confused. "Ah?"
"Sure enough … Get up."
Aurelia frowned. "Is the situation so serious?"
"Yes, recently, a large number of unidentified spies and hidden sentries have appeared near the Lord's Mansion. I even suspect that the Garrison has been infiltrated, so I had to do this. Please forgive me."
Kyle smiled bitterly and bowed again. Then he pointed to the side and said, "Please come this way. Just in case, please go through the secret passage to see the Lord."
Aurelia shook her head. "Captain Kyle, he also wants to go with us."
"Him?"
Kyle was stunned, and then he said with an apologetic look, "Sorry, the Lord doesn't receive outsiders recently, let alone a coachman …"
"Each and every one of them … Coachman, coachman, coachman …"
The blue veins on Tang En's forehead jumped. "Do I look like a coachman?"
Although Tang En had changed his clothes for going out, his modern style was far from the mainstream style of Prandal, so of course, he would be misunderstood.
Aurelia pursed her lips, as if she wanted to laugh but held it back. "Captain Kyle, this is the Lord of Ellington, Earl Tang En. This time, he came specially to accompany us."
"Earl Tang En!"
Kyle was startled and immediately knelt down on one knee. "I'm very sorry! Earl Tang En! "
Looking at him like this, Tang En, who wanted to vent his anger, did not know why, but for some reason, he lost all his strength. He waved his hand gloomily and said, "Okay, lead the way."
'Looks like he's a magnanimous noble …'
Kyle, who was anxious, led the way in the front. After pressing a few times on the seemingly ordinary stone wall, a hole suddenly appeared on the wall. The group of people filed in, and then the hole disappeared again, leaving only Kyle's three subordinates.
After passing through a secret passage with many twists and turns, and climbing many stairs, when Olina was panting and needed her daughter to support her, they finally appeared in a room.
"This is the Lord's lounge. The Lord is now in the study. This way, please."
Kyle continued to lead the way. After leaving the lounge, they passed through a corridor that was dozens of meters long and arrived at a large door. After gently knocking on the door and reporting their names, Kyle stepped back and said, "Please come in. The Lord is waiting for you."
Tang En did not hesitate to open the door and walked into the study with Aurelia and Olina.
Perhaps it was the habit of the royal family of Irus, the layout of the study was very similar to that of Victor's study. The left and right sides of the study were full of bookshelves, and in front of the study was a desk that was several meters wide. A figure was behind the desk, but in the window at the back, the reflection of the snow on Mount Gundal was very strong, so the person's face could not be seen clearly.
"Oh, oh, oh … I didn't expect you to come here … My lovely little granddaughter has become beautiful again."
Hearing this familiar voice, Aurelia's nose twitched, and her eyes immediately turned red. She rushed to Nitro with a crying voice. "Grandpa Nitro!"
"Oh, oh, oh, you're still so crybaby."
Nitro touched Aurelia's head, and then said to Olina, "Sorry to trouble you."
Olina just shook her head with red eyes.
"Then …"
Nitro's eyes fell on Tang En. "Lord Tang En, welcome to Taris."
