Upon entering the imperial border, the eldest prince's men presented their identification tokens...
The group was immediately greeted by a group of border soldiers.
The strength of the Carlo Magic Empire can be seen from the quality of the legion; even the lowly soldiers possess elemental abilities comparable to professional warriors.
What's remarkable is that two of the border generals truly reached the level of masters, the other being a great magician.
Among them, the Grand Mage holds a higher status than the Grand Swordsman.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
"Very good, let them pass!"
"Your Highness, please allow me to arrange an escort!"
"Can."
From then on, after entering the Carlo Magic Empire, a small squad of dragon knights appeared around the two magic crystal vehicles.
The number of dragon knights in the Carlo Magic Empire is not large, not as many as those in the Richie Empire. These dragon knights are mainly responsible for transmitting intelligence in case of emergency, as well as escorting distinguished figures.
Before anyone knew it, Ron had become quite a big shot!
I'm almost sixteen, and it doesn't feel real to me, but I accept it calmly.
After flying for another half a day, they entered the first major city of the Carlo Magic Empire.
"Your Highness..."
"No need to ask, just fly there!"
"Yes, sir!"
It seems Prince Woolley isn't afraid of disturbing the peace! But Ron wanted to keep a low profile, so he quickly called out, "Wait!"
It was rare for Prince Wolai to see Ron make a request, so he waved his hand, and the dragon knight who was about to give an order stopped.
"I wonder what Viscount Ron's thoughts are?"
"Your Highness, I think we should take a detour!" (~w~ヘ)
Seeing that Prince Wolai hesitated, Ron added, "Aren't you afraid of the Underdark? Small towns are already quite populated, let alone large cities like this!"
Ron only intended to show off his magic crystal car to his own people; he would keep a low profile when he went out.
This reasoning somewhat appealed to Prince Woolley.
"Very well, as Viscount Ron would like."
The main reason was that flying would take a longer route and wouldn't take much time, so Prince Woolley couldn't refuse Ron's suggestion.
"Send word to take a detour."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Just as they were flying around taking a detour, the assassins inside the city suddenly received an order:
'Plans changed, retreat!'
...
It turns out that Ron's desire to keep a low profile actually saved him from trouble.
There have long been assassination bounties in the Underdark, but there hasn't been a good opportunity. Weir Legend has never been heard of leaving! Only a few people like Ron know about it.
After Ron left Sandy Territory, his flight was too fast and his unpredictable route made it difficult to ambush him.
Border military fortresses are certainly not easy to ambush.
Based on the route deduction, this is the first city of the Carlo Magic Empire.
That's human nature; when people think they're safe and let their guard down, things often go wrong.
Instead of a legendary figure personally taking action, a legendary-grade assassination bow was obtained, named "Soul-Shocking Feather," and imbued with legendary-grade dark magic runes from the Dark Region.
The fact that the master-level assassin barely managed to activate the legendary magic staff was far better than Ron's barely activating it in the Abyss. If the attack missed, the assassin would flee thousands of miles away.
Having such magical items is quite an honor for Ron.
However, everything is still uncertain.
Time passed.
The Sky Team traveled far away, and at the West Gate, the two assassins met.
"route?"
"No, it's too difficult to be sure in the wild. The area ahead is too open to ambush. They've changed directions eight times along the way. Judging from their cautious detours, it's hard to say whether they'll change directions tonight."
"Grab the items, head to the teleportation point and chase after them. Try to catch them again... let's see what happens..."
The situation was somewhat coincidental; of the eight detours, seven were due to playing around, and one was due to an adventure, which gave the assassins the wrong impression.
Eight attempts in total, and I just caught up with them, only to have them escape again. It's infuriating! If I hadn't been unprepared with a flying dragon, how could this have happened? I'll have to teleport to the teleportation point ahead of time!
This objective is overly cautious and should not be underestimated.
A few days later, when they faced the great city again, Ron remained silent, and Prince Woolley ordered them to detour.
The assassins...
Let's gather again in front of the city gate.
"What should we do? Can we still make predictions? You've studied divination magic."
"etc……"
Spell: "..."
After a long while, the swordsman waited for a mage...
But the dark mage was pale-faced and shook his head silently.
"How hateful! They're lucky to be alive this time."
In the plans of these assassins from the shadowy regions, they would never carry out an assassination in the imperial capital.
Believers of different evil gods, dedicate yourselves to our Lord!
The capital of the empire is filled with incredibly powerful individuals.
"Let's go back first..."
"..."
Meanwhile, after several more days of flying, the team finally arrived in the skies near the capital.
Prince Woolley suddenly laughed and said, "Viscount Ron, what a cunning scheme! You've been playing all along, but not for very long. So, you were deliberately avoiding assassination?"
"What?" Ron was just thinking about how to enter the capital discreetly when he suddenly heard Prince Wolai speak.
Prince Wu Lai asked in confusion, "Could it be that I guessed wrong?"
Ron thought about it again and realized that it was indeed a lucky coincidence that there hadn't been a single assassination attempt along the way! He had initially thought that the presence of the royal guards of the Carlo Empire meant there was likely a powerful assassination attempt!
"Well... Your Highness may be wrong, or you may be right. It's up to Your Highness to decide!"
Anyway, given Prince Woolley's temperament, if Ron directly told him he was overthinking things, he would definitely think Ron was scheming, so he simply said...
What a great expert! While playing, I've encountered yet another expert along the way.
Ron is mostly just playing around. Anyway, Rita won't leave, so what's there to be afraid of?
Prince Woolley was quite satisfied with Ron's answer; let the prince judge for himself... (?? ??)
'Ron, oh Ron… in his frivolousness, he often offered unique insights when asked about magical matters.'
'Even his evasion tactics are displayed like this… I wonder how many more interesting things Ron has to offer?'
The eldest prince smiled faintly…
Ron simply ignored it.
"I'm afraid even a prince without capital can outmaneuver assassins like Viscount Ron. Your Majesty is overthinking it."
Ron chuckled... and pressed his advantage, saying, "Since we're about to enter the capital, and I trust the empire's experts, perhaps we shouldn't fly in..."
"No, no, this is Viscount Ron's noble reputation. How can we be so impolite? We should let the people of our empire see that a new flying magic crystal vehicle has been developed. What are the magicians of our empire doing? All they think about is improving their strength. Why haven't we seen another magic legend?"
"Your Highness, I think..."
How could you do that?
"I don't think it will fly in..."
“No, Viscount Ron…”
"..."
Uh... they're really at odds. Can't they even try to keep a low profile?
Ron then said, “This time, I, Ron, will only pay homage to the Queen as a viscount of the kingdom. Such a high-profile approach is only comparable to that of the Pope. I, Ron, cannot fail to live up to the divine will. Your Highness, what do you think?”
When it came to divine will, the prince relented: "Then, Viscount Ron, why don't you stay at my prince's residence for the time being? I'll take the magic crystal carriage to the imperial palace once!"
"Okay then!"
This eldest prince is really determined to ride the magic crystal carriage into the royal city!
Great, free advertising, why not?
"Your Highness, the vehicle should bear the royal insignia!"
“Viscount Ron is right, he is right!”
A short while later, preparations for entering the city were completed.
"fly!"
Ron, on the other hand, simply rode into the city in a monster-themed vehicle with the rest of the crew.
Ron, here I come, Carlo Magic Capital!
During the preparation time, Ron watched the imperial scenery from behind the carriage curtain as the magical beast chariot arrived.
There are so many magical girls.
"Those...those clothes...the clothes of a magic student? I really miss my student days."
"Is this... another magic short-range flying device?" A magical girl student leaped onto the second floor like a master magician!
...
The imperial landscape unfolded before his eyes, perhaps influenced by Ron's usual playful nature.
Upon arriving at their new place, Vivian and Little Tower were both very excited, with Little Tower even flying around Rita's head.
The little guy is going around in circles!
Rita and Uncle Arno, on the other hand, downplayed the situation, showing little change in their emotions.
Uncle Arno couldn't help but murmur, "My lord, you're still young!"
"Youth...is wonderful!"
Ron suddenly heard a passerby beside the car exclaim, "Look, what's that?"
"It's magic wood again!"
I heard the word "again".
It seems that a few valuable magic crystal cars have also been sold to the Carlo Magic Empire.
The effect that Prince Woolley had envisioned was somewhat lacking... Indeed, Ron came on vacation, so there might be a time difference.
I wonder how many powerful merchant guilds from the capital have visited Sandy Territory.
However, what happened next surprised people even more.
"That...that is, the royal family...the Carlo imperial family!"
"No, stop looking! Bow!"
Suddenly, after witnessing the magical mark of the imperial family, the people on the street all bowed in respect.
Ordinary people, including swordsmen, kneel on the ground, but the difference is that swordsmen only need to kneel on one knee. Formal magic elementalists bow slightly to show their respect for the imperial royal family.
Naturally, Ron's car was forced to stop for a while.
A while later, the wooden cart passed by in the sky.
The streets were as bustling as ever.
Judging from their excited expressions, it seems that the imperial royal family rarely makes public appearances, unlike Ron, who can inspect his territory as casually as eating a meal.
"Did you see that? The royal family!"
"I saw it. I wonder what powerful force it is. It's the Queen's birthday, and the royal family is personally welcoming her."
"Have you noticed the magic crystal carriages used by the royal family? Will our empire also produce them in the future?"
"First it was the so-called Sandy Territory..."
"You're ignorant! A dragon knight is the highest form of ceremony!"
"But didn't you see? The royal family!"
"This is an isolated case, or do you know how good dragon knights are?"
"..."
Ron overheard the conversation and chuckled to himself. "Hmm, very good, the advertising is excellent!"
However, after turning only a few streets, Ron and his group were stopped by the girl.
The eldest prince instructed the escorts to step forward and bow: "Greetings, Miss Tebbisa."
"Hmm, are you here to meet Lord Sandy?"
"Yes, Miss!"
Where are you going?
"The Prince's Residence".
"Okay, I understand."
But then, Tebbisa was about to come up.
The guards, under orders from His Highness the Prince, naturally had to try to stop him.
However, Ron sighed softly, "Alright, let her up. The carriage is big enough; one more won't make a difference!"
"Yes, Your Excellency Viscount."
Tabitha lifted the curtain, and inside were indeed Lord Sandy's standard personnel.
His slightly sharp gaze finally settled on Ron.
"Why are you only arriving now?" ╰_╯
