Bifeng City.
Just like its name suggests, it was originally a walled fortress in the south, so the entire city was built to look like a fortress.
Each level is like a staircase, and the streets on each level are close to the side of the mountain wall. Sean feels that if the streets are extended a little further back, they can even be drawn into the caves, and then it will really become a city wall fortress.
You know what, it’s true.
Frelia only let herself accompany her here, and they entered the highest level of the mountain wall... and there were actually blocks inside.
"Bifeng City was originally a military fortress, with its back against the mountains and only one side facing the outside. So it was not built on the plains like an ordinary city, but was built against the mountains." Frelia explained, probably seeing Sean looking around curiously.
"It seems this city has never been attacked before," Sean asked.
"It seems that there is no major threat. The southern part of the empire has always been stable because the countries in the south are weaker and their other side faces the Mediterranean Sea, so more energy is focused on the threats from the ocean." Frelia said.
Mediterranean...
This means that the southernmost ocean is still surrounded by the continent.
Sean suddenly remembered that the other party had mentioned before that the origin of the wizarding society came from across the ocean. So this was what he meant.
While chatting, the two followed the leading soldier to the depths of the fortress. There were many roads going down from the top, and the passages were very wide and connected in all directions!
It would probably cost a lot to build such a large military fortress.
"By the way, who is the lord of this city?" Sean asked.
Even though these expenses are all imperial expenditures, it would still cost a lot of money to maintain them. I wonder which person with the title can have so much capital.
"Bifeng City does not belong to the lower-level nobles. It is directly under the jurisdiction of Grand Duke Haruman. This has been the case since the founding of the country. So the General Daniel we are going to see is the actual manager of Bifeng City." Frelia said.
Grand Duke.
That's the Grand Duke.
Anyone who can be named a Grand Duke probably has ancestors who came with him to build the country. No wonder this place was regarded as a fortress before, and of course it was handed over to someone the king trusted to govern.
"So he invited you this time?!!"
"I think the general got the message after I came here using my identity. Soldiers don't serve for long. Many ordinary soldiers only serve for five or six years. If they get injured, they might be persuaded to return. Even those with official positions only serve for a dozen or so years. Only those who reach the rank of marshal can enjoy the title for life. Therefore, they often make friends with nobles and high-ranking officials while they are still in office."
Frelia mingles in a larger urban circle, so she can naturally see more than Sean.
However, since she knew that the other party had ulterior motives, she still frequently went to this banquet...
"Looks like you're pretty impressive."
"Hmm?" Frelia turned and looked at Sean.
"Since you know they have ulterior motives in befriending you, you still frequently come to these kinds of parties."
"But my organization also has a base here. Being familiar with the local managers will help us do things locally," said Frelia.
Sean doesn't care about this reason...
In fact, in my opinion, this reason is not proportional to the price to be paid.
After all, the other party is a temporary ruler under the jurisdiction of other nobles, which means that he can be transferred away with a single order.
"Think it over, making friends means sharing intelligence!"
"Of course I know this, and so do you... In my opinion, you have a very valuable ability, the ability to see into people's hearts!" Frelia said with a smile.
There's something very special about her smile...
She is not the cute type of woman, and her beauty depends on individual circumstances.
Maybe in some people's eyes Frelia is very beautiful, but Sean doesn't like this type very much. At most, he thinks she is sexy and charming.
But she does have a kind of charm when she smiles, a kind of charm that is hard to describe... but it makes people feel very impulsive, and that unique voice is enough to make people intoxicated.
This is probably the charm of this red dragon witch.
If a woman wants to walk among many high-ranking nobles, she depends not only on strength, but also on charm... In fact, for a long time, charm is the more critical part.
"Madam Red Dragon Witch, we're here." The soldier leading the way suddenly stopped in a room in an underground fortress.
It was still daytime, but the place was almost entirely lit by firelight.
Occasionally there are a few places where sunlight shines in, which should be the location of the ventilation holes.
Of course, this little bit of light also became the only light in the dark environment...
"This way, please!" The soldiers leading the way were very polite, and they were in a state of [curiosity!] and [guessing!] all the way, but they didn't dare to look back at the two people.
The soldiers of Bifeng City are quite well-educated!
Sean followed Frelia into the depths of the mountain fortress. As soon as he entered, he saw a man in exquisite armor standing at the door waiting.
When they saw the two of them coming over, they greeted them with a smile...
"Your Excellency the Red Dragon Witch, I never expected to meet you in Bifeng City. What an honor!!!"
Sean looked at the man who spoke awkwardly. Judging from his clothes, he should be the General Daniel they were talking about.
I guess I'm not used to the nobles' way of greeting, so hearing him say this feels really awkward...
