Chapter 598 Chapter 594 Arrival at Jingyao

The morning mist had not yet dissipated. The guards in charge of guarding the west gate of Jingyao yawned, removed the heavy bolt, and several people worked together to slowly push the gate open.

As the guards on the tower turned the capstan, a huge suspension bridge pulled by iron cables was slowly lowered and spanned over the moat.

"Everyone, be alert!"

The captain shouted loudly, "When a noble passes by, you must stand up straight and your eyes must be shining. You must not lose face for us Jingyao people."

"Yes, captain!"

The soldiers answered sparsely, enjoying the short-term comfort. In less than an hour, they would have to stand upright for a day according to the captain's orders.

Alas, there have been a lot of things happening in Jingyao recently.

First, the old king died. Although he left a will that the funeral should be simple, the ministers still held it for more than half a month. Then the new king took the throne. In order to show respect for the old king, the new king ordered that there would be no celebration to celebrate his succession, and he would postpone it until the first anniversary of his succession.

But according to the tradition of Ordo, when the new king takes the throne, the lords from all over the country must come to Jingyao to meet the new king. Even if they don't come, they have to send envoys, so the whole Jingyao continues to be busy.

The sound of bells came from the thick fog, and the guards were a little surprised. How come someone came so soon?

"Maybe it's the caravan that didn't have time to close the door yesterday to enter the city."

The captain said, then frowned and warned: "Don't ask for more money in the next few days. The entrance fee is as much as it is. Don't take a penny more. Did you hear it?"

"Yes, captain!" The soldiers answered in unison.

The convoy in the fog gradually revealed its full appearance. There were many carriages and many people.

"Stop and check!"

A guard shouted to the convoy.

A young knight emerged from the convoy and said coldly: "We are the lords from the Northwest Bay."

"Sir... Sir!"

The guard who stopped them bowed and saluted. If it were a few years ago, the guards might have questioned people from the western bay, but the current Northwest Bay is not the same as the Northwest Bay a few years ago.

The captain pushed his subordinates and squeezed to the front, his face full of smiles.

"Sir, I don't know which noble families you come from."

"Ferdinand family, Graman family, Parker family, Garnard family, Heller family, Melken family,..."

The knight reported a long list of family names.

"Oh, did all the distinguished lords come together?"

"Yes, we all took the boat and went to Jingyao from the West Port."

The captain had no doubts. Now everyone knows that the people of the West Bay have advanced navigation technology. Every day, a large number of ships from the Northwest Bay enter and leave the West Port.

"Can any lord please show your family emblem? Oh, just one family will do."

The knight showed the captain a coat of arms and said, "This is the coat of arms of the Heller family. Do you recognize it? I am Derrick Heller, the eldest son of Earl Winifred Heller."

The captain paid attention to the coat of arms and observed it carefully. In order to welcome the lords from other places, the officers guarding the city gates were given a good cram school of heraldry knowledge by the Heraldry Academy.

"I recognize it!" He nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice, stepped aside and said, "Please enter the city, honorable lords."

"Ah, I have something to ask you." Derrick Heller held the reins, seemingly in no hurry to go in.

"We received information in advance that nobles from other places can enter the city at any time in the next few days, including at night. But we arrived at Jingyao after the sun went down yesterday, why didn't they ask to open the city gate?"

"Uh... Sir, please allow me to explain." The captain touched the back of his head and said awkwardly: "We caught a few troublemakers in the city during the day yesterday, sent from the south... I think you know what it means. So... the entry and exit policy has been temporarily changed, and the previous alert level has been restored at night. You may have been on the road at that time, so you don't know..."

Those who are sent from the south and pay attention to the situation in the kingdom know who it is.

Derrick was a little angry and shook the reins, "We came all the way from the western bay, but you made me sleep outside the cold city for a night!"

Just when the captain didn't know how to deal with the temper of the noble in front of him, a young voice came from the caravan.

"Okay, Derrick, it's important to enter the city. There are many caravans waiting behind."

The owner of the voice also rode to the front on horseback. The captain of the guards looked up and saw that this was a young man who was about the same age as Derrick or slightly younger. He had short black hair and a calm face. When he looked at him, he didn't have the domineering look like Derrick in front.

But Derrick seemed to respect this young man who might be younger than him very much, "Okay, Earl Graman, let's go into the city first."

The young earl who just came over helped the guards out of the siege. The captain gave him a grateful look. The young man just smiled and rode towards the city gate with Derrick Heller.

The team of the northwest lords followed the two people in front and quickly entered Jingyao.

No mistakes, just read the content of the first post in the 16-9 book forum!

"Ah, this is my first time in Jingyao, the capital of the king."

Looking at the street in front and the buildings on both sides that are very different from the northwest bay, Paul said with emotion.

"How do you feel?" Kouk Parker, who was walking next to him, asked.

"Exquisite and delicate."

From the north to Jingyao, the feeling of giving Paul is like switching from the Western fantasy style to the Japanese -style fantasy style, and the rough atmosphere has become Xiaojiabiyu. Of course, here is the feeling that in the population and the city area, Jingyao dumped n streets in northern cities.

"It is said that there are more than 500,000 people living in the city wall alone." Earl Parker said.

"Ah? Many people. Our Her Majesty Gilde Rodnen is so many people every day ..."

Count Parker corrected him: "It is His Majesty Rodne Eighteenth."

Paul suddenly thought of a question, "I have always had a question, isn't it used to distinguish people with different generations in a family? Why is it the surname of our king?"

Plack Parker explained to him: "Because Rodne is both the surname of the king and the name of the king."

"ah?"

"Oldo's tradition, when a person brings the crown, he will abandon his name. From then on, he will only be the name of the entire family in the name of the family surname."

"Then our king is now the name of Rodne Rhodney? Uh, a bit around."

"No!" Earl Parker shook his head, "It is called Rodnen or Rodne Eighteen. Gilde Rodnes is already a past. In the future, there will be only Rodne Eighteenth."

"I see."

Paul understands.
