From the far end of the street, several magnificent carriages slowly approached the center.
The sound of wheels mingled in the air, creating a complex melody, and the speed gradually decreased as the distance shortened.
The noble caravan stopped neatly in front of a huge iron gate, lined up in a row.
Behind the massive iron gate lies a spacious manor, with a stone-paved fountain in the very center of the courtyard, its lion-shaped spout constantly spouting crystal-clear water droplets.
A red brick path meanders out from both sides of the fountain, extending to every corner of the estate.
The roadside is lined with lush green vegetation, and abundant, colorful flowers dot the greenery, creating a vibrant and colorful scene.
The enormous marble castle stood quietly at the end of the courtyard, its massive walls almost blocking out half the sky.
The sturdy stone pillars supporting the round vaulted ceiling make it appear even more majestic.
The servants were already waiting at the gate. When they saw the noble carriages arrive, they immediately went to greet them and opened the doors for each carriage.
The nobles stepped out of their carriages and onto the clean cobblestone path.
But after taking only a few steps, they began to stagger, their faces revealing undisguised fear.
It was as if they had just experienced the brink of life and death.
A little while later, those demi-humans with animal ears also emerged from the carriages of the nobles.
They were fully armed and had solemn expressions.
The source of fear for these kingdom nobles was these well-equipped demi-humans.
In the human world, demi-humans are regarded as beasts.
This time, they were sitting in the same carriage as these wild beasts.
This made their hearts race, as if their lives were in danger at any moment.
These nobles had certainly seen demi-humans before, but the group of demi-humans before them was quite different from those they had seen before.
The aura they exuded inspired awe in the nobles.
These petite yet agile figures, each clad in armor exuding a murderous aura, possessed eyes that gleamed more like those of experienced hunters than mere wild beasts.
The foreign ministers also disembarked from their carriages with the motorcade, their steps steady as they walked on the cobblestone road.
Breathing in the foreign air, he smiled at the trembling nobles and said:
"Calm down, everyone."
"You see, you're just not used to it yet, haven't you seen it before?"
"This is the demi-human guard of our Earl Victor Clavner family."
The foreign ministers presented the nobles of the Kingdom of Kant with the glorious achievements these demi-humans had made.
These demi-humans once followed the princess of the Karencia Empire to the adventurer's capital on the southern edge of the country for training, slaying countless monsters and accumulating merits in battle.
As the nobles of the kingdom watched these diplomatic officials of the empire boasting to these demi-humans, they couldn't help but admire these foreign ministers.
They were able to remain so calm in the face of such dangerous demi-humans.
Could it be that... the Empire already possesses the technology to train demi-humans?
There are quite a few demi-humans in the Kingdom of Kant.
After all, the Kingdom of Kant, unlike the Karencia Empire, did not use policies to deliberately control the number of these demi-humans.
The Kingdom of Kant emphasizes biodiversity.
In the kingdom, demi-human slaves were almost everywhere.
Even in some forests, demi-humans may appear.
The Kingdom of Kant has never prohibited demi-humans from entering the country, nor has it ever enacted any laws specifically targeting demi-humans.
Even in the streets and alleys here, you can often see demi-human traffickers openly selling demi-human slaves.
However, since demi-humans are essentially similar to animals, lacking much intelligence and thought, they are the easiest tools to enslave.
The people of the Kingdom of Kant, especially the nobles, looked down on demi-humans almost to the core.
Because they are simply wild animals that have never been domesticated.
You may look down on them, but nobody wants to encounter stray dogs on the street and get bitten by them.
After all, there have been cases where lords were brutally attacked and killed by demi-human slaves for abusing them.
Although demi-humans are always considered inferior to humans, their strength and ferocity should not be underestimated.
This led them to feel envious when they saw the incredibly obedient and well-trained demi-human guards of the Victor family.
But when they learned that these demi-humans didn't bite people randomly...
Their fear of these demi-humans immediately lessened somewhat.
After all, these nobles subconsciously believed that...
These demi-human guards were merely demi-human slaves of the Clevina family.
The master of these demi-humans is, of course, Victor.
Some of the bolder nobles even approached the demi-human guards, looking at the bone armor on the demi-humans with curious eyes, and marveling at it.
"The Clevner family has a truly impressive history."
"Yes, even the equipment of these demi-humans is so well made."
At this moment, the luxurious carriage at the very front of the caravan also gradually came to a stop.
Earl Laureen stepped down from the carriage first, stood to one side of it, and bowed slightly to the carriage as a sign of respect.
Immediately afterwards, a figure dressed in a jet-black trench coat stepped down from the carriage.
Victor stood on the other side, one hand on his chest, bowing slightly while reaching the carriage with the other.
A fair, delicate hand emerged from behind the carriage curtain.
Aurelion placed her hand firmly on Victor's broad palm, stepped down from the carriage, and walked down the steps.
