Chapter 151: Shapeshifter
Under the **** of the silver knights, the convoy drove for more than three hours and arrived in Winterbright City.
The entire population of the Earl of Winter Ting is over one million, but there are only more than 300,000 residents living in the city. The area of ??the city is much smaller than that of Longshande, and it is built on the lakeside of the Nakumer River.
It is the spring season, and there is still a little cold wind.
Entering the city, the snow on the streets was cleaned up, and people saw the long convoy and the silver knights accompanying them, with expressions of awe on their faces. Through the car window, Rennes watched the city.
This was his first visit to Winter Lightning City. Viola had been here many times, but he couldn't restrain his excitement, and introduced him to this city that would soon belong to him.
Ren could understand her current mood, smiled, and interjected to ask a few words in cooperation from time to time. Soon after, the convoy turned to the west in the middle of the city. There was a hillside slowly facing upwards, like the tip of a dagger, extending from the city to the lake. The higher you go, the higher the altitude, the narrower the sides, and finally the top of the mountain. A huge cliff was formed 100 meters above the lake.
On the top of the flat cliff stands a simple and huge castle, which belongs to the previous earls of Winter Ting, and its name is called Winter Ting Fort.
There are many manor houses built on the hillside below the castle, with trees and forests in a beautiful environment. According to Viola, this area is called Yueyangpo, which is equivalent to the Silver Star area of ??Longshande, and is the residence of the nobles and rich people in Winterbright City.
The streets of Yueyangpo were all paved with large slabs of stone, and the motorcade went up along the road and finally reached the Dongting Fort on the top of the mountain.
The gate of the castle was open and the motorcade drove in. The broad grass was full of people, led by a middle-aged man in official costume, about forty years old, bloated and smiling.
"He is Sir Mickson, the mayor of Winterbath City, and he managed the earls in these two years." Viola whispered in the car.
Behind the mayor Mickelson, there are a large number of officials and nobles, everyone has curiosity and enthusiasm on their faces, and seems to be looking forward to the arrival of the new earl.
However, when they saw the silver knight, many people's eyes changed.
When the car stopped, Mickelson straightened his clothes, personally stepped forward to pull the car door, and said loudly: "Your Excellency, I am Mayor Mickelson, I finally wait for your arrival!"
Viola got up and got out of the car, and when people saw her face clearly, there was an inhalation in the crowd.
Mickelson, who was standing closest, was even more sluggish. After a few seconds, he bowed and saluted, and stammered again and shouted: "I have seen the countess!"
"I have seen the countess..."
On the grass of the castle, everyone bowed their heads and saluted.
"Thank you guys." Viola smiled and nodded, her clear voice reached his ears, which refreshed people's spirits, and seeing her smile was even more breathtaking.
At this moment, whether the men present are married or not, their minds will inevitably become active.
However, before they could imagine, they saw a tall and handsome young man stepping out of the countess's car and standing behind her.
Although the two did not seem to be intimate, anyone could guess that the relationship between this man and the countess was not simple.
Some well-informed people immediately guessed the identity of this person.
Mayor Mickelson was one of them. He was about to salute Rennes, but Viola waved his hand to stop him and said, "Mayor Mickelson, please introduce me to everyone."
"Ok, yes."
Mickelson reacted quickly and immediately understood what the countess meant. He turned to point to the person next to him and smiled: "Your Excellency, this is the deputy mayor..."
Next, Viola and several important people in Winterbright City met again.
Renn followed without saying a word, like the most loyal guard.
In spite of this, many people kept their eyes on him and heard many people whispering, it was nothing more than "Earl of Glamorgan", "Countess's Lover" and the like.
After the welcoming ceremony, Mickson left with the crowd.
The silver knight took over the guardianship of the castle, and the housekeeper Abigail began to let people unload their luggage. The castle originally had dozens of servants, under the leadership of an old housekeeper, met the new countess.
After busying for several hours, I finally arranged everything properly.
Viola and Rennes live in the castle owner’s bedroom. This is a luxurious and spacious room with two large balconies, one facing the city and overlooking the city, and the other facing Dongting Lake. The view is wide and the scenery is pleasant.
Looking into the distance, you can see a large meandering river. The water of the lake merges into the river. Ships full of cargo are driving on the river, and the stream is endless.
In the afternoon, the two sat on the balcony, enjoying the scenery of Dongting Lake.
In his castle, Viola confided his thoughts.
As Rennes expected, she was planning to transfer Silver Star Records to Winterbath, and she had obtained the Duke's consent.
In the future, she will take advantage of Winterbright City's superior water transportation conditions to sell phonographs to the entire empire, from river operations to shipping, and to the world.
This plan was also approved by Ms. Changfa.
If things go well, Winterbright City will become a city of music and art, and the headquarters of the Church of Good Good will move here. Maybe one day Viola will ascend the pope's throne.
Furthermore, Viola has already chosen a location to build the Wizard Tower.
The Winter Lightning Fort occupies the cliff on the top of the Moon Yangpo Mountain, actually only half of the area is used, and the remaining half is just enough to serve as the base of the Wizard Tower.
Rennes respected Viola's ideals, and of course supported him with his hands.
He has long understood the character of a half-elf. This is an independent woman. She has her own ideas and pursuits. Although she also values ??feelings, she does not put feelings first.
However, this also means that the two must be separated for some time.
"Ryan," Viola looked at his lover affectionately, and said softly, "I will stay in Winterbright City and live in Winterbright Castle for many years to come. You can treat this as your own home, no matter you Wherever you go, don’t forget to go home."
The cold wind of early spring blew on his face, but Renn's heart was warm.
He nodded heavily and said seriously: "I will be back."
Viola got up and sat on his lap, snuggling in his arms, the two did not speak any more, silently looking at the scenery of Winterting Lake, quietly enjoying the world of the two.
The next night, a grand banquet was held in Winterbright Castle.
There was a lot of traffic in front of the castle, and almost all the important people in Winterbright City, whether they were officials, nobles, or extraordinary people, received invitations.
This is the first time the new Earl of Winter Ting has appeared on a formal occasion. No one will refuse, and all will be present in costume.
Rene didn't have much interest in this kind of banquet, but for Viola's safety, she still served as her male companion to meet the guests.
In the huge banquet hall, crystal lamps illuminate every corner, and servants serve wine and food, which are placed on long tables.
On the stage on the side of the hall, the invited band played soothing and melodious music.
Hundreds of guests gathered in groups to talk.
As the host, Viola has not rested all night, and under the introduction of Mayor Mickerson, he is going to talk to each guest in person.
With her peerless beauty, even if she is not the earl, the guests, men and women, are flattered.
Rehn used the eyes of the soul to observe secretly. With only one banquet, Viola was able to subdue the upper class of Winterbright City, and the first step to rule the earl was very smooth.
Halfway through the banquet, Renne saw no threat, and did not follow Viola anymore.
Carrying a plate of food and wine, he walked to the terrace outside the hall, admiring the Winter Ting Lake under the night, while locking the sound of all things to Viola's side while eating alone.
Below the terrace is a grass, and more than ten meters away is a cliff.
The cliff is very high, at an angle of ninety degrees to the surface of the water, and the sound of water from below can be heard, surrounded only by a circle of delicate marble railings.
When the servants and guests saw him, they didn't come to disturb him.
Renn was so happy too.
"Earl of Glamorgan." A voice suddenly came, and Ren turned his head to look and saw a nobleman in formal clothes walking onto the terrace with red wine.
He was not very old, he was only in his early thirties, and his appearance was unremarkable, no different from most nobles in the hall.
Rehn didn't recognize the other party, so he took a look with the eyes of the soul, and suddenly frowned slightly.
This person is a high-level wizard!
Moreover, it is a relatively rare Variety Wizard, reaching level seven, and there are seven Demon Souls in the soul that can be used for transformation Each Demon Soul has three to four elements, most of which are secret elements. Mastered a dozen spells.
The transformation wizard belongs to the branch of the Imperial Soul School. It can allow the Demon Soul to possess the body and gain the ability to cast spells. Each time the soul changes, it can superimpose a Possession Demon Soul to greatly increase the strength.
Their core main soul is the "transformation monster", which has the element of "change" and can go one step further and directly transform into the demon soul's pre-mortem form.
This changed form can play the role of physical elements. The strength, speed, and defense are not weaker than the demon soul's life. After multiple demon souls are superimposed, it is even stronger than the demon soul's original strength.
To some extent, the transformation wizard is similar to the battle wizard.
Both have strong melee combat ability.
The difference is that the combat wizard cannot transform, but can use all the fused magic souls to enhance the human body; the transform wizard has stronger spell casting ability, flexible application, and can adapt to many combat environments, but after transforming, it loses the other. , They can no longer cast other magic soul forms, and are restricted.
Seeing Ren's frown, the transformation wizard quickly introduced himself: "Your Excellency Earl, I am Padgett, the deputy director of the Winterbolt Justice Bureau, please forgive me for taking the liberty."
"Pagett?"
Rehn snorted in his heart, obviously it was not Padgett himself, but the identity of the transformation wizard. He didn't reveal it immediately, and asked quietly, "Is there anything wrong with Mr. Padgett?"
Padgett approached and whispered: "Entrusted by others, let me tell the Lord a word." "What?"
"I hope the Earl of Glamorgan can understand the general situation, and don't go to Modu." When Padgett spoke, a slight mockery appeared in his eyes.
