Chapter 7 Emperor Odin

People always say that Yalai is romantic.

Jalhay, the tone of this word is squeezed out from the throat, mellow and hoarse.

Although Randim could be considered a city, it was still much smaller than Yala.

That area has a more specific and more general name, "moon-country", which should be called Silver Moon City, which also exudes a sense of romance.

——However, behind this name is more of a cold sarcasm and tears. The Silver Moon City was once the cage of the Silver Moon Church. The weak curled up on it with their bodies unfit. Packs of wolves surrounded it in layers, waiting for an opportunity to catch them.

Wei Xi stayed on the train for a day and a night.

There are only six rooms in the first-class carriage. The interior is bright and clean, and as soon as you open the door, you will see an exquisitely decorated living room.

The head maid Sera had put everything in order. Wei Xi gently opened a corner of the curtain, and a ray of light from the sky flowed on the dark blue carpet on the ground. There was a faint soft fragrance in the air, like jasmine.

This was her fourth morning in this world.

Before leaving Lendim, Wei Xi met with Director Byron, Financial Officer Miss Mia and others, and was followed by a team of senior lawyers. He barely finished explaining everything that needed to be explained, and there were a dozen documents signed. The rest was left to Allen Verston to sort out slowly.

Philip Sarohil lived next door to her and was recuperating from his injuries. Perhaps because the lesson he learned was too vivid, he did not want to meet Wei Xi on the train.

Queen lost its leading man and received an ambiguous response, having to use a substitute, but it was clear that neither Wei Xi nor Philip took the minor confusion seriously.

Lundim was already far away, and what greeted Wei Xi was the Silver Moon City, the capital of the empire.

This is a lead-gray city built of silver and brass.

Wei Xi looked around from the car window. The flashy streets were often shrouded in a light haze. Tall buildings stood in rows, and sculptures of children and the Virgin Mary were placed on the tops of the Victorian buildings.

In the distance there is a stock exchange, a theater, and a church.

Gentlemen in tuxedos and half-high silk hats, and ladies in satins and sparkling jewels come in and out of the exquisitely designed shops along the street.

It is still early morning, but Yalai is already as lively as the afternoon.

Steam billowed as the silver airship floated slowly across the sky. The huge clock tower made up of countless gears was awe-inspiring.

The mechanical dancers perform fixed dance steps along geometric shapes, and the various mechanical creations that serve mankind are dazzling.

Further away is a huge building in the center of the capital where the royal family of the Kaffa Empire lived. There is the famous royal garden and the Sky Babylon - the Amber Palace.

She looked for a while, then turned and walked out of the car.

Sera didn't expect that she would see Wei Xi at this time, but that was the fact. Countess Abigail was dressed neatly and sat in the tea room attached to the box with her eyes closed to rest.

"Good morning, miss," she said, placing the silver tray on the table and taking out fresh bacon, eggs, toast and coffee, hoping that these things would fill her master's empty stomach.

"No, Sera, I'm not really in the mood for dinner right now."

Sera stopped what she was doing and stared at her for a few seconds.

"You don't look very well." She turned around and opened the small drawer at the bottom of their medical kit, unscrewed a brand new copper package, and took out a mercury thermometer from it. "Open your mouth, miss, don't frown, you are already a mature adult."

Wei Xi lowered her eyes and stared at the thermometer placed in front of her lower lip, "My temperature is normal, Sera, I just had a dream."

"You sound abnormal."

It was pointless to argue with Sera over the little things she insisted on. Wei Xi sighed and resigned herself to pressing the thermometer under her tongue. However, she still did not give up the opportunity to speak. Her voice was a little unclear. "I just dreamed of something unexpected."

Sera's expression was very serious. She was wearing dark black clothes, had a round face, narrow eyes, and an extremely dignified expression. Unlike Allen Foster who was obedient to her, Sera was a bit like Wei Xi's grandmother in the main world, and was extremely stubborn about Wei Xi's physical health.

Wei Xi kept looking at the clock. When the time was up, she took out the thermometer and asked Sera to check it.

"Well, it's OK." Sera put away the thermometer, her voice full of doubt, "Do you want to tell me what you dreamed about?"

"I'm not very clear." Wei Xi rubbed her brows. After activating her talent, she always saw some strange fragments. "It was very confusing. I dreamed of a large black mechanical figure on the ground. Something broke it. There were also corpses, many corpses, stacked on top of each other."

"It sounds like you dreamed of a battlefield."

"Battlefield? Probably."

"You know, Miss Abigail, sometimes dreams just come for no reason. Would you like some soothing tea tonight?"

"I'm not sure. Maybe I won't be able to return to the mansion tonight." Wei Xi smiled at her, "Wait a minute. I don't have an appetite."

The train passed through a brass tunnel. Wei Xi's black pupils reflected strange golden patterns, just like the flowers blooming in Trosi in midsummer.

Sera sighed and took back the plate. "You woke up too early today. Maybe you didn't get enough rest. The train doesn't have the conditions. When we get back to Monty's house, I'll ask the chef to make you your favorite cold roasted lamb leg."

Wei Xi shook his head and did not continue the topic. Yalai was not a place for her to live in peace. It was a quagmire of steel and a cliff, never a place where she could rest her back safely.

"Ohh Ohh ohh!"

The whistle sounded, the metal piston moved up and down, and the peculiarly shaped mechanical train drove along the rails, crossed the huge inland lake, and drove into the steam-filled station.

In the past, members of the Monti family would always be stopped at this step, but this time, the Pope’s men did not stop her.

She lowered her eyelashes and quietly read the system's message prompt:

[Mission 1: Reach Yalai, the capital of the Kafa Empire within seven days]

【completed】

The train stopped sliding, and a layer of gray mist came down, and the place where it spread was called Yalai.

Wei Xi remembered that she still had to kill someone here.

The guards and attendants packed their luggage and got off the car. Wei Xi was in the middle and stood on the ground. The morning noises of carriages and people gradually leaked in from outside the station and turned into a whisper in his ears.

She looked up, and the first person to appear was not the servant of the Monty family who stayed in Yale, but the royal sedan that came to greet Abigail.

There were no logos on the car, only shocking royal emblems.

Seeing Count Monti coming out, the chief steward of the Kafa Empire's court took off his hat and greeted Wei Xi, saying, "Thank God for blessing you with a safe journey. His Majesty the Emperor has been waiting for you for a long time."

Wei Xi patted Sera's stiff back and told her: "Move the things back first and clean up a room that can be lived in. As for Philip, you ask Richard to lock him up..." She thought for a moment and changed her words: "No, bring him here. I will go to see His Majesty the Emperor with him."

"If everything goes well, I can still go back tonight."

"What if His Majesty the Emperor doesn't let you go?" Sera nervously squeezed Wei Xi's hand. She had never relaxed her tense nerves since arriving in Yalai.

Wei Xi was silent for a few seconds, then said with certainty: "I am still useful to Your Majesty, so I will be fine."

This may sound uncomfortable, but it is an indisputable fact.

Sierra nodded and said she would sort everything out while Missy was away.

Philip was pushed out by Richard, his wrists were bound by machinery, his face was pale as death. Wei Xi showed no mercy to him and had him escorted to the steward.

The steward of the Kafa court was a round-faced and amiable middle-aged man. He was dressed neatly, with white gloves, a smile on his face, and a silver watch chain on his chest. He helped Wei Xi open the car door, as if he didn't notice that an uninvited person was stuffed into the back seat of the car.

"Let's go!" Wei Xi looked back at where Sera was. They were somewhat similar. They all seemed to have nowhere to go, but also seemed reluctant to leave. They were worried and confused.

"You have a group of loyal servants, Your Excellency." The butler saw this scene in the rearview mirror and complimented gently.

"Thank you for your compliment, sir." Wei Xi said lightly.

Seeing that she was not in the mood to talk, the butler tactfully shut up and secretly observed the beautiful countess.

It is unknown why the Monti family clashed with the Pope. Even the Emperor was not sure whose fault it was. However, the Pope's status was higher than that of Count Monti. The Emperor had to send the Monti family away from Yale to save the Pope's face.

--This was equivalent to exile. Therefore, the chief minister Bondant, who had always been in the court, had only met the new Count Monti once. But when he met him for the second time, he still lamented why this beauty, who could be called the star of the empire, could only bloom in the countryside of Rendim.

Miss Abigail was wearing a goose yellow half-length gauze skirt, a small hat of the same color decorated with irises worn askew on her temples, and a smoky and misty gold veil covering half of her face. When she raised her eyes to look at people, her dark eyes had a kind of indifferent coldness under her charming eyelashes.

If the god of the Silver Moon Church were still alive, he would definitely favor this adorable girl.

It's a pity that this young lady has never been able to go to the imperial court freely, so no one is interested in her marriage. His Majesty the Emperor is extremely disappointed with the Pope. This time he will probably lift the ban on the Monti family and choose a worthy husband for her...

The truth is probably a million miles away from Bangdang's guess.

Wei Xi paid no attention to Bangdang's ambiguous gaze. She was observing the route she was walking. The station was slightly outside the imperial capital. The further she went in, the more complicated the roads became and the more crowded they were. However, with the Royal Guards leading the way, there was no possibility of traffic jams along the way.

After driving smoothly for about an hour, the vehicle slid into a huge gilded carved door, and the guards on duty saluted the car.

After officially entering the palace, Wei Xi saw many patrolling guards. At the same time, there were some prying eyes cast at him secretly, which disappeared after Bangdang rolled down the car window.

Wei Xi looked out at the majestic and magnificent palace at the end of the wide straight driveway, and knew that the people living here were the descendants of the Kafa family, the masters of half the continent.

This family gave birth to the greatest emperor in the history of the continent - Odin the Great. A hundred years ago, he commanded his army to force the rebels and diehards of the Church into the Neckar River and shot them with crossbows. The corpses blocked the flow of water in the flood season, turning the shallows into a thrilling and steamy cemetery.

He was the son of destiny of that era. The four bloodlines that inherited the ancient ruling authority were completely cut off. The noblest family during the period of the Holy See's rule withdrew from history. From then on, half of the continent had to be named Caffa.

Even during the day, most places in the palace were still brightly lit. Warm yellow light shone behind the curtains in every room, the melody of the banquet floated out from the gaps, and the elegant ladies were bathed in golden light.

Speaking of which, the Monti family and the Caffa family still have a blood relationship. In ancient times, intermarriage was very common among the nobles. Although blood ties were not the most reliable alliance, they were the most reliable alliance in the original stage.

Now, the nobles who have nothing to do with the royal family are all new nobles, and the old nobles even contemptuously call them "nouveau riche."

Wei Xi went through a brief history of the empire and, under the guidance of Bangdang, came to the Amber Palace behind the main palace building. Surrounded by flowers and green plants, the long steps spiraled upwards.
