Together with Crow, Gu Qing Shan was led away by the ceremonial officer.
Following the luxurious carpet, six maids were standing at the end of the path, waiting for Gu Qing Shan.
The ceremonial officer looked at the six maids, then at Gu Qing Shan.
What?
Gu Qing Shan didn't understand and also looked back at the ceremonial officer.
At this point, the maids bowed and spoke in unison: "Sir Count, your formal attire has been prepared, you may return"
"Very well" the ceremonial officer returned the greeting, then turned to leave.
He didn't pay any more attention to Gu Qing Shan's gaze.
The six maids received Gu Qing Shan and Crow, led them up a few flights of stairs, then upstairs to a lounge.
Another maid was waiting for them here.
The six maids walked in front of her and bowed in unison: "Manager, sir Count has arrived"
The woman had a plain appearance, but gave off the air of a steward.
She said: "Greetings, sir Count, his majesty has ordered me and my maids to arrange your attire, travel, introduction of your fief, and gifts from the aristocrats — — don't worry, there won't be any issues, not to mention, you don't need to be afraid of these things. Furthermore, you have a residence in Holy Crown City, as well as the necessary personnel"
"Thank you, thank you very much" Gu Qing Shan said.
The woman then explained:
"Sir Count, as well as your knight, as you have never been to the Roland empire before, your formal attire was made as quickly as possible. Please try it on first, we'll change it if there are any issues"
"Thank you, I'll try it on right away" Gu Qing Shan nodded.
Crow also nodded in return.
— — the two of them were originally Barons of a small Duchy under the rule of the Frost empire. Now that the Frost empire had been taken over by the wraiths, they had also come to the Roland empire, so the people here naturally hadn't seen them before, nor did they know their measurements.
Very quickly, a full set of Count attire was placed in front of Gu Qing Shan.
His hat, his coat, his short sceptre, his trousers and his boots were all black. Only the shirt beneath was white.
In front of Crow was a neat and tidy female military uniform, also black.
According to the regulations of the Roland Empire, knights were required to wear military uniforms in non-combat situations to show their status.
The Roland Empire's aristocratic clothing advocated black, believing that this color was formal, solemn, and represented authority.
The woman winked at the maids and said, "Go, help the Count undress —"
"No need!"
Gu Qing Shan hurriedly stopped her good intentions and said, "Let me wear it myself."
Crow also said: "That's right, we'll wear it ourselves, no need for help"
The woman was taken aback for a moment before realization dawned on her.
The Count was only fifteen years old, so it was normal for him to be shy.
As for his knight —
With such a beautiful face, he was afraid that she was not just a simple knight. Perhaps she would be the one to help the Count put on his clothes.
The woman maintained a dignified and gentle expression on her face. She led the maids and said, "Then we will wait outside the door. Please try on your formal attire first."
"Got it" Gu Qing Shan and Crow both replied.
The maids retreated.
The door closed.
The two of them began to put on and take off their clothes.
"Crow, go inside, there's another changing room" Gu Qing Shan told Crow.
Crow looked down at herself, then took the entire set of clothes and left.
The duck plushie followed behind her.
Gu Qing Shan changed into her formal attire, held the Count's scepter in hand, and looked at herself in the mirror.
It's alright, it seems a bit more dignified.
Crow also quickly changed into a military uniform and walked over.
"You look quite experienced in this uniform" Crow commented.
"Hm, you can call the maids in now" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Wait a minute — –"
Crow suddenly took out a flying bird emblem, closed his eyes and sensed it for a bit, then said: "On the entire battlefront, the Roland empire and the Frost empire both have their own victories and defeats. In the small city called Weitz that we went to before, the war has reached its climax"
Gu Qing Shan glanced at the emblem in his hand and asked: "Can you see who has the upper hand?"
Crow scowled: "I can vaguely see that the wraiths have the upper hand. Because that city is their territory, they've already set up numerous traps, the Roland Empire's army has suffered greatly … they won't be able to hold on for much longer!"
"Shall we go and fight?" Gu Qing Shan suggested.
Crow agreed: "Let's go!"
A white fog descended from above, bringing the two of them away from the room.
As soon as they left, the door was pushed open.
The girl from before came in with six maids.
At this point, her presence was completely different from before, becoming even more lofty and imposing.
The six maids also became even more cautious.
The girl scoffed, then muttered: "He's clearly two years younger than me, yet father still wants me to come take a look, his eyes are getting worse and worse"
Saying so, she gestured with her hand.
One of the maids appeared troubled and said: "Your Highness, the Count is changing clothes"
"He is changing clothes in my territory" the girl casually replied.
The maid had no choice but to take down a book from a certain spot on the wall and chanted an incantation.
A screen appeared on the book.
The scene from before slowly appeared in front of their eyes.
Gu Qing Shan had Crow change clothes on the other side.
The two of them went their separate ways.
The maids hurriedly lowered their heads.
The girl watched with a serious expression.
A few moments later, Crow returned and told them about the frontlines.
The two of them disappeared into the white fog.
The scene ended.
"Weitz city?" The girl chanted, then ordered: "Adjust the perspective of Weitz city's war, I want to observe it now"
"Understood"
…
The white fog scattered.
Gu Qing Shan and Crow appeared on the street from before.
The street was covered in blood and corpses.
A series of explosions rang out in the sky.
The fluctuations of the technique were comparable to a continuous earthquake.
The two of them weren't in a hurry to act and first hid behind the door.
Crow drew his rapier and asked: "How do we fight?"
"After these wraiths take over, it seems they can't use the Guise Hex and Life Talismans from before" Gu Qing Shan pondered.
"But they've grasped the various powers of this world, not at all inferior to the Roland empire's army" Crow replied.
"This proves one thing, the true bodies of the Old Gods weren't in this world from the very beginning, otherwise, as soon as the Old Gods stripped those people of their powers, this war would've been won without a doubt" Gu Qing Shan pondered.
"Let's go, but this is a large-scale war, so we have to wear armor"
Crow took out a set of armor.
This was the Title Hitman armor he wore when he was still a man, so it was a bit too big for him to wear right now. Fortunately, he was wearing a full military uniform, so he was barely able to fit into this set of armor.
Gu Qing Shan also took out a set of silver armor with golden patterns, lightly patted it, then put it on.
Lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
[Armor of Condemnation (primary)]
[Sturdy, magic repellent]
This simple introduction was a bit too simple.
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but recall the little angel armor from before.
That was a Divine armor — — -
But it looked like a bikini with a pair of tiny wings on its back …
Forget it.
Gu Qing Shan drew her black bow and sent her voice: "Crow, my current identity is that of a bow user, so I can't easily expose my swordsmanship. However, [Snowdrift] isn't very useful in close combat, and my other bow techniques aren't enough to deal with these enemies. But this bow has the power of time, capable of shortening flight time, while I can imbue my arrows with the power of Lightning to restrict the enemy's movement"
Crow asked: "How long can you restrict the enemy?"
"Five seconds" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Crow's expression changed: "That's enough! I'll follow your arrows, so if anything happens to you, I'll come back and protect you "
"Got it!" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The two of them rushed out the door.
Gu Qing Shan raised her hand to draw the bow, then abruptly let go.
Five dark blue arrows of lightning flew out in a row, drawing arcs in the air as they shot towards the Frost empire's soldiers outside.
[Shifting Flurry]!
Lightning Thaumaturgy: [Dreamjolt]!
Gu Qing Shan didn't stop there, her hands turned into blurred images as she pulled the bowstring again and again.
The sky was filled with flashes of lightning.
Crow followed behind the flashes of lightning. Whenever the flashes of lightning hit an enemy, his sword would pierce through the enemy and turn them into a burning corpse.
After a few dozen seconds, the enemies in this block were slowly cleared out by the two of them.
Crow landed next to Gu Qing Shan and said: "They're all normal soldiers, there's no challenge at all"
Gu Qing Shan released her inner sight and spoke with a serious expression: "Be careful, the more enemies we kill, the easier it is to draw the attention of powerful monsters"
Crow didn't mind: "It's fine, with your lightning arrows and my [Flame Explosion] sword, unless it's a Magic Scale Dragon of this world — — -"
He suddenly realized something and quickly shut his mouth.
Gu Qing Shan's eyebrows were already raised.
Boom!
A black figure descended from above, landing in front of the two of them.
This was a dragon that was almost 100 meters long.
By simply landing, its gigantic body had destroyed every building in the entire block.
"It really is … a Magic Scale Dragon"
The duck plushie covered his face and muttered in despair.
Gu Qing Shan sighed.
The Magic Scale Dragon had a dragon armor that could resist elemental attacks, combined with Draconic magic and sharp claws, it was an opponent that could only be defeated by physical attacks.
But defeating a dragon with physical attacks alone wasn't easy at all.
The Magic Scale Dragon exhaled deeply.
The intense wind almost blew the duck plushie away, but Crow caught it and stuffed it into his pocket.
"This guy isn't easy to deal with, I'll go first"
Crow swung his sword. A layer of burning magma appeared on his blade.
"I'll go first — – fortunately, it's quite chaotic here, so no one noticed us" Gu Qing Shan muttered.
Even if they did, it wouldn't be a problem, as most dragons were old scoundrels who were good at hiding their identities, so they didn't like to reveal their true identities.
Gu Qing Shan let go of his bow and took a step back. Boundless black smoke began to spread from his body.
The black dragon's form slowly manifested.
Roar!
The Dark Magic Dragon who had fused three dragons' power abruptly appeared and charged towards the Magic Scale Dragon. …
At another location.
The Roland empire.
Holy Crown City. The royal palace.
Within the screen of light, two dragons soared into the sky, letting out a deafening roar.
The woman silently watched this scene.
"Not only the Condemner, but also the dragon race? That's interesting … "
She murmured softly.
