The Emerald Tower

The core location of the Emerald City is naturally the Emerald Square. This large square with enough capacity for 10,000 people not only makes the locals proud, even the envoys of Gaosai and Xiti are also full of praise.

　　 This makes all the jadeites feel an honor.

　　 Starting from the Emerald Square towards the east, after a two-kilometer **** guarded by hundreds of guards, you can see an old castle.

　　 This old castle is not the same as the old castle in the traditional sense of emerald.

　　 In addition to being taller, the shape of this castle is not a traditional spire shape, but a dome shape with a curvature.

　　 There are three domes at the highest point, with a slight difference in height, arranged in a ‘mountain’ shape.

　　 emerald green, full of life gloss, shining brightly when the night comes.

This is not relying on magic crystals, but simply the light absorbed from the sun during the day, and then released at night; not only makes the entire castle shrouded in brilliance, even the emerald capital, even further places are covered Shining.

　　 And this is the emerald palace.

　　 The place where the jade kings have ruled-the emerald green glow from the top of the castle implies that it brings vitality and vitality to the whole jade.

Bathed in this emerald green, Dean squinted his eyes and waited quietly. He was riding the horse that originally belonged to the Secretary of State of the Army. He was in a heavy armor, and his whole person looked more and more heroic, especially When the [Imitation Dragon Head Great Sword] appeared behind him, the guards around who had already received the news were even more cautiously beating the Lord Zelgaon.

　　 The battle during the day has spread throughout the Emerald Capital.

　　 Then came Dean's reputation.

　　 is different from before, simply thinking that Dean is good luck or something.

　　 This time, people clearly realized the strength of this young man and... tyranny!

　　 The heads of more than five hundred people are piled up at the gate of Horn Town, enough to make anyone who sees them feel a tremor in their hearts, and then there are two battles.

　　 People who didn’t see it with their own eyes heard the ‘reporting’ of people who saw it with their own eyes.

　　 A fear from the bottom of their hearts began to appear in their hearts.

　　 Therefore, when they saw Dean, who caused all of this, appear, these guards suddenly frightened.

　　Even though they knew that Dean was here to attend the dinner of His Majesty the King, they also had invitations, but they did not feel at ease.

　　 With that cautious look, it seems that Dean will violently hurt people at any time.

And this look naturally made Lauder, who followed Dean, a look of disdain-attending the young king’s dinner, although it did not specify how many people to bring, according to etiquette, only one can be brought. A personal attendant, and a guard of no more than ten.

　　 This is what Dean knows well, and it is also what the Grand Duke Swordsman warns against.

　　 Dean didn't mean to despise the young king-although he looked down on him a little, he still followed the etiquette.

　　 Lauder follows as his attendant.

　　 Ten young people selected from the Knights of Fecharen as guards.

　　Chad and Mach are naturally listed.

　　Similarly, the young people of the Fecharen Knights who can participate in the king's dinner are naturally very excited; however, they also understand that they cannot be ashamed of their own adults.

　　 Therefore, no matter how excited, it is also a solemn expression.

　　 And with this solemnity, a tempered military spirit began to appear on these young people, making people passing by and seeing them subconsciously look at them.

　　 After all, this kind of atmosphere is different from the teams they used to see.

　　 However, after seeing Dean, especially the appearance of the heavy armor and the giant sword, these people passing by suddenly thought of something, and immediately turned pale, began to bow their heads, and hurried away.

　　 Of course, not everyone is like this——

　　 Some guests who were also invited by the young king were also waiting in the Emerald Square, and some of them were glaring at Dean and his party.

　　 However, when Lauder's fierce gaze swept over, these people immediately lowered their heads, or put on a smile simply.

　　 It is a pity that Lauder, a former tax officer, knows this trick too well.

　　 He saw the true faces of these people very clearly.

　　 Then, I remembered the family emblems to which these people belonged one by one.

　　Although Lauder has studied as much as possible, there are so many nobles in the Emerald Capital, so far, Lauder, who has an excellent memory, still cannot clearly understand the clan emblems of all the Emerald Capital aristocrats.

　　 But this does not hinder his work——

　　 Help my adults deal with official documents and distinguish enemies!

　　 When my adult needs it, he pounces on him like a vicious dog, killing him!

　　 Lauder, who remembered these two items in a simple manner, had an enthusiastic smile on his face that was countless times more sincere than the other party, responding to the bad guys.

　　轱辘,轱辘!

　　 With the sound of the wheels, a carriage appeared behind the Emerald Square, and then went straight through the crowd and stopped beside Dean and his party.

　　 Suddenly, the carriage attracted the attention of most people present.

　　 They are very curious, who would dare to stand alongside that ‘butcher’.

　　 But. When the family crest on the carriage was clearly seen, these people immediately became silent!

　　The Minister of Finance, the emblem of the Custer family!

　　 After the Minister of Military Affairs died this morning, this adult appeared to be a big family in the entire Emerald Capital, and as this adult, he can naturally be side by side with the'butcher'.

　　 Even, many people speculate maliciously that with the ferocity of the ‘butcher’, it is natural to find a reliable ‘master’ to be able to continue ‘active’ - and the identity of the Minister of Finance seems to be appropriate.

　　 Of course, you need to be alert all the time, this adult’s "crossing the river and breaking the bridge"!

　　 Although the Minister of Military Affairs lost his life this morning, some of the messages he left behind during his lifetime are still fermenting and being accepted by people.

　　 Moreover, it seems that because of the death of the Minister of Military Affairs, rumors developed from such news have become facts.

　　 However, such malicious speculation is nothing to Dean and the Minister of Finance.

　　Even, neither of them cares about it.

　　 To put it simply, these people are not seen by the two at all. After all, they are just little people who can’t eat grapes and say grapes are sour——

　　 "Dean, good evening!"

　　 The carriage window opened, and the finance minister's smiling face appeared behind him.

　　 "Good evening, Lord Kuster!"

　　 Dean nodded slightly in response.

　　 The two parties opened the scene like friends, and started chatting while waiting.

　　 has a meaningless meaning.

　　 No one mentioned what happened today. Similarly, there was no mention of some of the ‘interests’ left behind by the Minister of Military Affairs.

　　 As for the bright side?

　　 With Ryurou's help, Dean has already earned it into his pocket.

　　 "Dean, what do you think of sailing trade?"

　　 abruptly, after a small chat, the finance minister said suddenly.

　　 "I don't know anything about sailing trade!"

　　 Dean answered directly.

Of course, there is a hint of humility in this answer. After all, Dean still has a good understanding of the ports that connect the three countries of Jade, Gaosai, Xiti, and the Overseas Free Federation. Some of these products are in short supply. Dean, who used to be a black market merchant, also knew clearly.

　　 But, faced with a sudden inquiry from the Minister of Finance.

　　 Dean is instinctively humble.

　　 Sometimes, being clumsy does not necessarily make you seem clumsy.

　　 But, showing off too high-profile will definitely make people look at you like an idiot—especially when your show off is ‘smashed’.

　　 "You are too humble, you must know that the Zelgaon family has the best sailing skills..."

　　 The Minister of Finance said with a smile, while checking Dean's expression.

　　The calm and unwavering expression made the finance minister once again disappointed.

　　 He has never encountered such an opponent.

　　 At a young age, he always keeps dripping water at all times. That kind of patience, city government, even some old merchants, may not be comparable.

　　 The previous chats and temptations made him feel a little helpless.

　　 "The Wolf family has a fleet-similarly armed merchant ships!"

　　 In the end, the Minister of Finance chose to end the endless temptation, and under the urging of time, he said straightforwardly.

　　Although this will make him lose a certain amount of initiative, it is better than useless work, right?

　　 "Armed merchant ship? What do you mean?"

　　 Dean chanted the word ‘armed merchant ship’ playfully, and then looked at the Minister of Finance calmly.

　　Armed Merchant Shipping~www.novelmtl.com~ Although there is the word merchant shipping, the prefix armed is more important; after all, this indicates that they are merchants in one part, and...pirates in the other part!

　　 As for pirates, Dean has always had reservations.

　　 is not only the Great Duke of Emerald’s attack on pirates, but also because pirates are just like their land counterparts. They are representatives of untrustworthy and capricious.

　　 "There are about ten armed merchant ships, including two Galen ships!"

　　 The Minister of Finance said in a low voice.

　　 "Two Galen ships!"

　　 Dean suddenly squinted his eyes slightly, the flashing gaze was deep and cold, and then, as soon as he raised his hand, the young people of the Fecharen Knights suddenly scattered around.

　　 And the middle-aged subordinate of the Minister of Finance also left the carriage and stood outside the carriage, acting as a guard.
