"Master, Miss, I hunted a pheasant and a rabbit in the mountains. These should be enough for us to eat tonight!"
As she was thinking, Anyi's deep voice came over. An Ran looked up and saw Anyi walking towards her with a washed rabbit and pheasant in one hand and a pile of firewood in the other arm.
An Ran hurriedly asked An Yi to sit down. An Yu reached out and took the rabbit and pheasant from An Yi's hand. He skillfully found a branch and strung the pheasant and rabbit together.
An Yi looked at the fire that had already been lit in front of An Yu and An Ran, and hurriedly put the branches and other things he had picked up on it, set up a fire rack, and started grilling meat.
An Yu and Anyi were grilling meat and talking at the same time, while An Ran was also quietly roasting the fire beside them, occasionally picking up a few branches and throwing them on the fire, and interjecting a few words. For a while, they were all having a great time, and everything was so beautiful that they forgot their previous troubles.
After a simple dinner, An Ran rested in the carriage, while An Yu and An Yi found a place to rest.
The next day, An Yi woke up at dawn, packed up his things, and after An Yu and An Ran got up, they rushed to the imperial capital together!
After dusk, An Yu and his group finally arrived at the imperial capital. At the gate of the imperial capital, there was a long line waiting to enter the city. The carriage that An Ran was riding in was also slowly queueing up and moving towards the city with the flow of people.
Anran lifted the curtain and carefully looked at the tall and majestic city in front of her. The city wall was so high that people felt small in front of it. The city wall was classical and magnificent, and it seemed that the changes of history had not left any trace on it. As the king of the city, the imperial capital showed its inclusive, implicit, noble and powerful side.
"Chiu~" An Ran was immersed in the pressure of the imperial capital when suddenly a long, shrill cry came from the sky.
An Ran was unhappy and frowned as she looked up into the sky. She saw a huge bird swooping down. Only when it landed on the ground could An Ran see its entire appearance clearly.
Its feathers and fur were the color of the sun, with its lion-like hindquarters covered in yellow-brown fur, and its eagle-like head and forelimbs covered in golden eagle feathers.
It has a pointed head covered with blue feathers, like a blue gem. It has a pair of wings with a wingspan of 7 to 8 meters. The wing feathers are blue, the chest feathers are scarlet, and the beak and feet are like an eagle, which may be transparent yellow, and the claws are black.
Its eyes were like living flames, icy blue, and contained a look of arrogance and pride.
This is a griffin, a level five magical beast!
When An Ran saw the man in gorgeous clothes on the griffin, she sighed in her heart that there were indeed hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the imperial capital. She didn't expect that the arrogant griffin would also become a human's pet and serve as a mount!
As soon as the griffin landed, it folded its wings. Its entire body was more than two meters tall. Seeing so many people looking at it, the griffin looked at the group of people in line with disdain, carried its master on its back, and walked towards the city gate step by step!
Such a large scene had already alarmed the soldiers guarding the city gate. They shouted and drove the people queuing at the city gate aside, completely ignoring their pleas and cries.
The guard at the city gate saw the man approaching and hurriedly bowed and walked over, smiling flatteringly at the man: "Master Situ, what gust of wind brought you here? Is there anything we can do for you? Just tell me!"
An Ran couldn't help but frown. They had just arrived in the imperial capital, not even entered the city, and something like this had already happened. Wasn't anyone doing anything about it? An Ran looked at the other people waiting in line to enter the city. They all lowered their heads and remained silent, spontaneously stepping aside to make way for Young Master Situ.
An Ran sighed in her heart, it seems that this man’s family in the imperial capital is very powerful!
An Ran looked at the man and saw him looking at the guards with arrogance. He said with disdain, "I go wherever I want. Do I need to report to you? Hurry up and open the city gate for me! I'm busy today and don't have time for you guys!"
When the guard captain heard what he said, he immediately shouted at his men, "Hurry up! Didn't you hear what Master Situ said?! Get out of the way! Let Master Situ pass!"
After the man left, the city gate returned to its previous orderly state, and people lined up to enter the city.
An Ran pulled back the curtain, still thinking about the queue outside, with a look of regret on her face.
An Yu looked at An Ran like this and chuckled, "Of course, that person just now was Situ Yan, the second son of the Situ family. He's usually arrogant and domineering. This kind of thing is very common in the capital. There's no need to sigh so much."
An Ran sighed, looked at An Yu with some regret and said: "Nothing, just a little emotional. I didn't expect that power is such a good thing."
An Yu chuckled. How could he have forgotten that the An family in Xinghu City had the same situation some time ago? Why would his sister be so sad because of this?
After An Ran and An Yi entered the city, they went straight to the inn. The inn was not very big. After An Yu asked for three rooms, he took An Ran upstairs to rest, leaving An Yi to pack the carriage.
After running around outside for two days and fighting with bandits, An Ran felt like she was about to stink. After asking the store owner for hot water, An Ran took a comfortable hot bath and fell asleep quietly in bed.
The next morning, when An Ran got up and went downstairs to eat, An Yu had already ordered food downstairs and was waiting for An Ran to come and eat.
After breakfast, An Ran and An Yu changed their clothes a little and walked together on the streets of the imperial capital. An Yu knew that his sister was not familiar with the imperial capital, and he would be busy studying and practicing at school after school started, so he might not have time to accompany An Ran. He planned to take advantage of this time before school started to introduce the commercial streets of the imperial capital to his sister.
The imperial capital of Burt was vast and magnificent, covering a vast expanse of land. It was divided into two cities, the Inner and Outer City. While the Outer City was home to ordinary citizens and lower-class people, it was essentially the commercial center of the capital, with a dazzling array of shops lining its main thoroughfares. Of course, the Outer City also housed the Mercenary Guild, the Magician Guild, the Alchemist Guild, and other organizations unrelated to the Empire, as well as some entities the Empire had no control over, such as the major sects.
The inner city is as big as a provincial capital. In addition to the residences of royal relatives and various ministers, it also houses the settlements of several major families. Ordinary people generally cannot enter the inner city unless they have an invitation letter from a family inside.
