Chapter 190: trade
At noon after half a month.
Sean finished practicing knight swordsmanship and is now practicing meditation.
Boom, boom, boom!
Suddenly there was a heavy but rhythmic muffled sound, which came from a distance.
"what happened?"
Stopping the practice of meditation, Sean stood up, walked out of the courtyard and onto the street.
On the street, there were many people who were shocked by the loud noise like him. They all stretched their necks and looked around, trying to see what happened.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes turned to the direction of the city gate facing the inland of the empire, and their eyes were full of shock.
At this time, in their sight, a huge monster was striding forward.
Its body is more than twenty meters long and seven or eight meters tall. Every step it takes, it feels like beating a drum when it steps on the ground.
"This is... what kind of beast? Why... is it so big?"
"This, this... the size is too exaggerated, isn't it? It's actually over 20 meters!"
"The strength of this beast is probably comparable to that of a paladin, right?!"
Many people exclaimed.
"This is definitely a legendary monster!"
Only a group of paladins had serious expressions on their faces. This kind of body shape is not something that a beast of the paladin level can possess.
And among them, some of them had some understanding of the fierce beast, and they showed extreme shock on their faces. If this fierce beast is really the kind of fierce beast in the rumors, then the strength of this fierce beast, even in the legendary Among them, I am afraid it is also extremely powerful.
"Dragon armor beast!"
And Xiao En recognized the identity of this behemoth at a glance, because this behemoth was exactly the same as the dragon armor beast that His Highness the Seventeenth Princess Secia Tomyris had enslaved. Dragon armor beast.
"Why... came to Fortress Kedot?"
Xiao En showed a strange look on his face. Since the dragon armored beast has come, the Seventeenth Princess Cycia Tomyris, who is the owner of the dragon armored beast, must also come to Kedot Fortress. Otherwise, the Dragon Armored Beast would have rioted long ago.
The Dragon Armored Beast went all the way, and finally entered the center of the fortress, which was the base camp of the entire fortress, where the three legendary knights were.
Not long after, a news spread like a hurricane throughout the entire Kodot Fortress. The Seventeenth Princess Cycia Tomyris arrived, and the giant monster was the legendary beast she enslaved.
As soon as the news came out, everyone was shocked that such a big figure as the imperial princess would appear in the fortress, and there was actually such a powerful war beast accompanying her.
While everyone was shocked, a carriage drove out from the center of the fortress and arrived in front of a remote house in the west of the city.
The carriage stopped, and first a brown-haired middle-aged man stepped out of it, and then a young woman in a long purple dress.
The woman has black hair and black pupils, and her face is exquisite, as if carved from white jade. The long purple dress clearly shows her slender waist, straight chest, and buttocks.
"Interesting, if it wasn't for the report from Kedote Fortress, I really didn't know that he has come to the empire, and he has legendary combat power."
There was a smile on her face, the seventeenth princess Saisia Tomyris signaled the brown-haired middle-aged man to knock on the door, the brown-haired middle-aged man responded, came to the courtyard door, and knocked lightly.
Boom, boom, boom!
The knock on the door outside the courtyard interrupted Sean, who was practicing meditation. He frowned and waved the book recording the meditation into the dimensional space.
Standing up, he walked outside the courtyard and opened the door.
"I have met His Highness Cycia Tomyris."
Seeing the two people outside the courtyard, Sean was shocked, and bowed slightly to salute.
Although when seeing the Dragon Armored Beast, he had vaguely guessed that the other party would come to his door, but when the other party really came to the door, he couldn't help being surprised.
"Earl Sean, haven't we seen each other for two years?"
Seeing Sean, Seventeenth Princess Saisia Tomily said with a smile on her face.
"Your Highness Secia Tomyris can call me Sean, after all, this is no longer the Kingdom of Carlo."
Sean led the two into the courtyard.
"Yes, it is indeed a bit inappropriate to be called Earl Sean."
Princess Cycia Tomyris nodded her head.
Introducing the two into the living room, Sean poured a cup of the previously boiled tea for each of them, and then poured another cup for himself.
Although the brown-haired middle-aged man had been standing and had no intention of sitting down, Sean did not neglect. After all, the other party was a powerful legend, and basic courtesy was still required.
"Have you been in the Empire for half a year?"
Holding up the teacup with slender fingers, Princess Seventeen took a sip of the tea with her red lips.
"Yes."
Sean nodded.
"I'm really disappointed. I thought you would come to visit me as soon as you arrived in the empire, but I didn't expect you to come to this place without making a sound."
Seventeenth Princess Cycia Tomyris said with a resentful tone.
"The princess was joking."
Sean said calmly.
"I'm not joking. I was very angry when I learned that the news that Fort Cedote had arrived in the imperial capital was actually a man named Sean Campbell from the Kingdom of Kalow. You were not the first to come. Visit me."
The seventeenth princess Saisia Tomyris feigned anger on her face.
"But since you helped the empire defend this fortress, I will let you go this time."
"Thank you princess."
Sean thanked.
"This time, I'm here to invite you to the imperial capital. You shouldn't refuse me this time, right?"
Princess Cycia Tomyris, the seventeenth princess, stared directly at Sean.
"Well."
Hearing what the seventeenth princess Saisia Tomyris said, Sean secretly said that he really came, and carefully organized the words, Sean said.
"Originally, His Highness's invitation should not be rejected, but I have important matters here, and I really can't leave!"
"Can't go away? Is there something wrong?"
Princess Cycia Tomyris, the seventeenth princess, restrained her smile.
"You won't tell me that your main task is to hunt and kill Wu people?"
Sean chose to remain silent, and that was the fact. He would rather hunt and kill the Wu people here to earn auxiliary cultivation resources than follow the seventeenth princess Cycia Tomyris to the imperial capital and wade through that muddy water.
Besides, the current him may not be so afraid of the seventeenth princess. The empire is the empire, and the seventeenth princess is the seventeenth princess. It is impossible for the power of the empire to be completely used by the seventeenth princess.
Now, even if he loses to the power possessed by the seventeenth princess, he should have no problem escaping.
"All right."
Seeing that Sean didn't answer, the Seventeenth Princess Cycia Tomyris sighed. She also understood that the present Sean was no longer something she could handle at will. Even if she wanted to deal with him, she would have to pay a considerable price. , which is obviously not worth it.
Seeing this, Sean breathed a sigh of relief. It would be best if he didn't break his face, but he didn't expect the other party to change the subject in the next moment.
“Shall we make a deal then?”
"trade?"
Sean looked at each other with surprise.
"Yes, deal, I am going to hire you for half a year, and the commission is a purple-level knight swordsmanship."
Seventeenth Princess Cycia Tomyris threw a bombshell.
"Purple-level knight swordsmanship?"
Hearing this, Sean's heart couldn't help jumping. He has been in Fortress Dort for half a year, and he naturally knows how precious the purple knight law is.
A purple-level knight method requires a full 100,000 military merits to be exchanged at the military merit exchange office in the fortress. If you can get 10,000 military merits by beheading a third-level wizard, if you want to collect all 100,000 military merits, you have to kill at least 100,000 military merits. It is almost impossible to kill ten third-level wizards.
Whether it is for the Holy Wu Kingdom of the West Pole or the Kolben Empire, the legendary level is extremely rare in combat power. If there is a legendary level powerhouse who is really beheaded, it may immediately become a major event that shocked the country. Targeted retaliation is likely to come soon.
Just like this time, Sean beheaded the third-level wizard. At this time, he might have become the key target of the West Pole Saint Wu Kingdom.
Therefore, the conditions for exchanging 100,000 military merit coins at the purple-level knight law at the military merit exchange office are simply impossible conditions to be met.
"Yes, purple-level knight swordsmanship."
Seventeenth Princess Cycia Tomyris smiled.
"The content of the employment, I need to know the purpose of your employment before I can make a decision."
Sean was not immediately dazzled by the huge benefits in front of him. The purple-level knight swordsmanship is indeed precious, and it can even double his cultivation speed, but it is not advisable to put himself in a desperate situation because of this.
"I need you to help me protect someone."
"one person?"
Seventeenth Princess Cycia Tomyris restrained the smile on her face and said seriously.
"Yes, a person, a person who is very important to me, if you accept my entrustment, you must ensure that she is intact within six months, not even a single hair will fall off."
Silent, after a full moment of silence, Sean stared at the Seventeenth Princess Cycia Tomyris.
"Only half a year?"
"Yes, it only takes half a year."
"Okay, I agree."
Finally, Sean decided to accept the commission.
Although it is a bit risky, a purple knight swordsmanship is indeed worth the risk.
Besides, his real combat strength has reached the middle legend, even close to the upper legend. Even in this empire, he is considered a rare strong man. Unless he encounters a veteran legend, otherwise, his life should not be in danger.
…
Three days later, the Seventeenth Princess Cycia Tomyris and her team left the Fortress of Kodote and returned to the Imperial Capital. Sean was in the team. Before that, Sean had already exchanged all the military merit coins Drugs for cultivation.
As a legend, he was naturally treated well, and was placed alone in a carriage.
Boom, boom, boom!
The huge dragon armored beast followed the team forward, the ground shook every time it stepped out, and the pulling horses all showed panic, but the seventeenth princess Secia Tomyris seemed to have taken some kind of method to calm down. The panic of the horses pulling the carts prevented the chaos.
