Chapter 875: Chapter 793: The Center of the World: Royal Capital
Mitra Kingdom, Royal Capital.
Lately, the Royal Capital has beco busier than ever, and also more heavily guarded than at any other ti.
No matter which city gate you look at, the gatekeepers have now beco very high-ranking knights, rather than the Level 30 or so knights that used to stand guard.
On the city walls, soldiers and knights alike are patrolling with a strength greater than ever before, and their faces are constantly serious, ticulous, and rigorous, not daring to slacken in the slightest.
If soone with a keen sense were to observe the Royal Capital at this mont, they would also notice that the protective barrier of the capital is operating at full power, and various subtle magic techniques and even magic tools have been set up in many directions, forming a very powerful protective system that thoroughly safeguards the city inside and out, from top to bottom.
In such a situation, long queues have ford in front of each city gate of the capital.
All people entering the city must undergo thorough inspections by the gatekeepers, whether they are commoners, rchant caravans, or nobles.
Especially those nobles, despite the impatience etched on their faces, they still have no choice but to comply with the gatekeepers’ checks.
This clearly shows the strictness of the capital’s security today.
It is sothing that cannot be helped.
At this ti, throughout the streets and alleys of the Royal Capital, luxurious and extravagant processions are frequently passing by, drawing discussions among the citizens.
“That’s the convoy from the king of the small neighboring country to the south?”
“And there are guards from the kings of various western countries.”
“That looks like a convoy carrying high-ranking mbers of the Dwarf Clan.”
“And over there, that’s the convoy of the Priest Group from the Beastman Race.”
Citizens watched as these opulent processions drove past, full of sighs.
“It’s my first ti seeing so many foreign dignitaries appear intermittently.”
“Who isn’t?”
“Originally, seeing so many foreign and alien princes and noblen during Princess Luosilusti’s suitor selection was already quite sothing.”
“Who would have thought that in such a short ti, so many notable figures would again co to the capital.”
“This ti, it’s the top figures from each race, nation, and force.”
“These are the real powerful high-ups, much stronger than those princes and noblen relying on backgrounds.”
“I heard, later on, dignitaries from the Divine Race and the Demon Clan will also visit the capital.”
“The Three Great Goddesses and the Six Great Demons…”
“I originally thought that figures of that level were impossible for commoners like us to ever see.”
“If we’re lucky this ti, perhaps we might catch a glimpse.”
“I… I want to see the Nuadra Goddess from the Divine Race! I heard Nuadra Goddess is the most perfect goddess of the Divine Race! I’ve long admired her!”
“I want to see Lady Xiafunie from the Demon Clan, she’s said to be the most beautiful woman in the whole world!”
“Personally, I’m more interested in seeing Her Majesty the Elf Queen, I’ve heard Her Majesty’s beauty rivals that of Princess Luosilusti!”
“The Holy Daughter from the Beastman Race isn’t bad either, the elders say Foxn are almost as beautiful as the Elves!”
“Gods we could never have imagined seeing are actually going to co to the capital now.”
“I hope there’s a chance to catch a glimpse.”
With this, citizens excitedly discussed all sorts of things, fully displaying the hustle and bustle of the Royal Capital.
This scene is likely to continue appearing for a while.
After all, the Tri-Race Conference is about to begin, and notable figures from each race, nation, and force will continuously appear in the Royal Capital, making it more lively than ever.
People know this place has been chosen as the venue for the Tri-Race Conference, thus legendary figures whom they would ordinarily never get to see might truly appear.
This makes the citizens of the Royal Capital both excited and proud.
“Being selected as the venue for the Tri-Race Conference is an honor for us in Mitra Kingdom.”
“After all, this is the Land of the Brave.”
“There’s indeed no place more suitable than here to serve as the venue for the Tri-Race Conference.”
This is a fact.
Previously, when deciding on the venue, the Divine Race and the Demon Clan did consider their own territories, but ultimately rejected the idea.
Back then, the Divine Race and the Demon Clan were still suspicious of each other, with the Demon Clan suspecting that the Divine Race had secretly summoned a hero to stir up trouble, and the Divine Race also thinking that the Demon Clan had orchestrated the unexpected hero summoning, intending to reignite war.
At that ti, nobody was willing to believe the other was innocent, each holding a bit of suspicion toward the other.
As a result, neither side was willing to let their leaders step into enemy territory, fearing a trap.
Therefore, determining the venue to be located in the Human Realm was sothing of a necessity.
What place in the Human Realm could be more representative and symbolic than the Mitra Kingdom, known as the Land of the Brave?
A thousand years ago, it was Hero Mithra who defeated the Demon King, ended the war, and established this nation on the very site where the Demon King was slain. It was here that the first eting of the Three Clans was held, gathering the leaders of the God, Human, and Demon races to jointly forge a peace treaty.
In view of this, the final conference location was set in the Royal Capital of the Mitra Kingdom, with this Land of the Brave presiding over the talks.
This is naturally an honor, but it also cos with considerable pressure.
While the Mitra Kingdom is one of the most powerful countries within the Human Race, second only to the Ragna Empire, renowned as the first in the Human Realm militarily, its status and power are not all that remarkable when placed on the map of Omni Potanssen.
The Mitra Kingdom is ultimately just one country among the Human Race, and within the Human race’s human tribes, it is just a small part. Comparing it to the entire Human Race, including the Elf Clan, Dwarf Clan, and Beastman Race, it is even more so.
In contrast, the Divine Race and the Demon Clan, one has been the guiding creator of the Human Race since ancient tis, holding a status and power likely above the Humans, while the other is acknowledged as the strongest race in Omni Potanssen, incomparable even to the Divine Race. Even combined, the Divine and Human races would find themselves lacking in sheer combat power, let alone comparing the Humans alone, who would be easily crushed.
And the Mitra Kingdom, not even reaching the overall level of the Human Race—just a part of the human tribes—facing the challenge of successfully hosting many important figures from foreign countries, alien races, and alien forces, is undoubtedly a very demanding task.
Adding to this, there’s a need to set up the venue, prepare all security asures related to the conference area, and manage the balance between countries, races, and forces to prevent conflicts. Considering all these tasks, one can almost picture how much hair the kingdom’s Royal Family and noble high-ranking officials have been losing recently.
But even so, at this critical juncture, the kingdom has no choice but to push through.
They are not afraid of anyone disrespecting the kingdom.
“After a thousand-year gap, the Hero is a noble of our Mitra Kingdom.”
“Our kingdom now has a true Hero under its command.”
“Moreover, he is the fiancé of the Kingdom’s Treasure.”
“Even the Dragon Demon Lord of the Demon Clan is engaged to our Hero.”
“And the Goddess from the Divine Race—rumor has it that a Goddess nad Lilith shares a deep bond with our Hero.”
“The Fate Goddess Lidas and Life Goddess Anima, two of the Three Great Goddesses, attended Hero Shane’s engagent banquet.”
“The Elf Clan and Beastman Race’s Priest Group publicly stated they would support Hero Shane, calling him their eternal friend.”
“With such a Hero in our country, who would dare cause trouble openly?”
“Exactly.”
The citizens were filled with confidence and pride in this regard.
However, there were also so opinions holding opposing views.
“The mighty Hero, leaving aside Princess Luosilusti to be engaged to a demon from the Demon Clan, it’s laughable.”
“Is Princess Luosilusti being betrayed?”
“Already engaged to the Kingdom’s Treasure, yet still publicly announcing an engagent to a demon from the Demon Clan?”
“Could Hero Shane intend to abolish Princess Luosilusti’s position as the main wife, making her a concubine to a demon?”
“If he truly dares to do so, the engagent must be annulled.”
“Indeed, why should our national treasure be relegated to the supporting cast of the Demon Clan?”
“Princess Luosilusti, so outstanding, beautiful, and noble, being made a concubine would undeniably be a disgrace.”
“I suspect this Count of Beizut has already been completely swayed by the Demon Clan.”
In secret, such remarks continuously circulated in various corners of the Royal Capital and even spread throughout the kingdom.
The more stunning Shane and Luoqi’s engagent banquet was before, the stronger the backlash is now.
It’s worth noting that back then, the kingdom celebrated the engagent banquet with nationwide jubilation, with every city big and small cheering.
The citizens finally approved of such a fine son-in-law for the princess, feeling envy and jealousy over soone being able to marry the Kingdom’s Treasure, only for the other party to turn around and get engaged to soone else, which naturally fuels indignation.
Fortunately, the kingdom has never publicly criticized Shane, and the Royal Family has remained silent on the matter, refraining from any response, plus Shane being a Hero, which still holds an extrely high status in the people’s hearts, ans that those harboring animosity towards him remain in the minority.
Whether this minority will fernt and render the situation irrecoverable, no one knows.
But people are aware that during the Three Clans conference, not only will important figures from various races, countries, and forces be present, but Hero Shane himself will also appear.
At that ti, not only will various matters of the Hero Summoning be discussed, but the engagent issues between the Hero and the demon, as well as the Kingdom’s Treasure, will undoubtably be tabled for negotiation.
What kind of outco will this eting produce?
Many are eager and waiting in anticipation.
Just at this critical mont, over the Royal Capital, a pitch-black giant dragon descended from the sky, finally arriving here.
“Roar——!!!”
The dragon’s roar echoed across the skies, heard by all.
For a mont, the Royal Capital fell into a temporary silence.
Then, it completely erupted.
