Chapter 806 - 340: Farewell to Firina (2)
If construction is completed, it can be imagined that this would definitely be a city armed to the teeth.
The ability to mobilize so much manpower and resources is truly astonishing.
Lear appeared in front of the city with his army without concealing any trace.
This immediately aroused the vigilance of the city guards, and in a moment, a clear eagle cry rang out.
Instantly, several squadrons of royal griffins flew out from within the city.
These high-tier units were arrayed neatly and with a majestic presence, clearly elite forces at a glance.
The leader, wearing a silver helmet, clad in a blood-red cloak, tall and imposing, with the knight’s gaze scrutinized them.
"Halt..."
The voice had just fallen when he clearly saw the vine-formed visage of Lear.
His expression was startled, and then with a bit of hesitation, said:
"You are... Lord Lear?!"
Lear’s face showed a hint of a smile.
"If I remember correctly... you’re called Rekell? The guard of Firina’s estate."
The figure opposite trembled slightly, instinctively gripping the royal griffin’s reins, taking a deep breath, and loudly said:
"That’s right, Lord Lear, Rekell salutes you!"
As he spoke, he clipped the sky riding spear into the unique weapon strap on the griffin’s back, his right hand on his chest, standing straight.
Lear’s expression was somewhat subtle as he looked at him.
This was the same guard who once blocked him at the estate gate when he first went to seek information in Lorand City with Magic Plants, looking for Firina.
Back then, this person had stopped him... In the blink of an eye, more than half a year has passed, and unexpectedly, this warrior had become the leader of the royal griffins.
While he had ascended to godhood... there was a sense of how things have changed.
Rekell looked at Lear, whose body was now formed of vines, his gaze a hundred times more complex.
Who could have imagined that the young man who had once been blocked at the estate gate, climbing out of the slums to meet Firina, would get to where he is today?
Though he didn’t know Lear’s true power, he was part of Firina’s most direct force, having participated in the war against the beastmen throughout.
And Kalanis was the commander of that unit...
Even such existence was merely underling to this young man before his eyes.
No need to think to know how terrifying he was.
He took a deep breath and gestured behind him.
"My lord, please enter... Firina happens to have come to Rose City today."
Lear nodded.
"Thank you."
Rekell directed the griffin knights to lead the way in front, welcoming Lear and his entourage into the still-busy city under construction.
From the sky, the number of ancient humans wasn’t many, around twenty to thirty thousand, with more ordinary workers coming from Lorand City.
Surrounded by construction sites, it seemed like it was intended to be transformed into a fortress city, with fierce and formidable guarding forces.
As they landed in the central square, Lear had just dismounted from the Swamp Giant-Horned Deer King when he saw the temple directly in front.
At this moment, the temple emitted a hazy holy brilliance, standing out in this area.
Above the temple, an illusionary book woven from roses floated gently.
Sensing slightly, he could perceive a sacred and inviolable aura emanating from the book.
The surrounding residents passing by looked at the book with awe and fanaticism in their eyes...
Rose Canon.
The path that Firina pursued.
A law to control the divine, such a bold idea that even he was amazed.
Even in modern, civilized worlds without extraordinary power, achieving this would be extremely hard.
Let alone in this fantasy world where divine spirits hold reign.
But even so, it explained the other’s uniqueness, daring truly to take this step!
Calming those thoughts, he followed behind Rekell, who descended from the sky, proceeding through the square, arriving before the administrative hall of Rose City.
Even before stepping in, he saw a graceful and unparalleled elegant figure emerging from the doors.
The noble gown of black and gold that adorned her accentuated her majesty and elegance.
The long hair behind her head appeared as if it was floating in the water, filled with an indescribable mystery.
In her right hand, she held a book woven of roses, exactly like the one floating atop the temple.
The moment of her appearance, even the air seemed to brighten up.
The soldiers guarding the surroundings immediately showed fanatical expressions, all bowing their heads respectfully.
"Your Highness..."
The Flower of the Northern Territory, ruler of Lorand City, master of the Rose Canon... Firina.
Gracefully approaching, their eyes met, and Firina’s flawless face showed a faint smile.
"It’s been a long time, Lord Lear..."
Lear also smiled.
"It’s been a long time."
Firina gestured towards the open doors.
"Please come in... This place has only recently been renovated, it’s a bit rudimentary, please don’t mind."
"You’re too kind..."
Exchanging pleasantries, Lear followed Firina into the hall, while Rekell respectfully stepped back and turned away.
Their levels were too high for him to partake in.
The tall, handsome warrior, at this point, no longer felt the initial dissatisfaction he had upon realizing Lear’s extraordinary power, only awe remained.
When one’s power far surpasses your own, it becomes difficult to feel envy and such emotions.
Inside the hall, a familiar long table was set in the middle, with the two of them taking seats on either side without distinctions of rank.
Personal maid Jasmine carried a tea tray, poured tea as she stepped forward.
Seeing Lear, a smile appeared on her face.
"Lord Lear."
Lear smiled at the old acquaintance.
"Miss Jasmine."
Feeling the non-distant attitude, Jasmine’s mood brightened considerably, elegantly leaving after preparing the tea, leaving the two to talk.
