Riding and slashing the stars of empire civilization

Due to being under military control, only temporary sentries with a few to a dozen system soldiers stationed at regular intervals remained on the streets of the imperial capital that were always bustling in the past.

These system soldiers, who not only have expressionless faces but also have almost no additional actions, will use various salute actions to show that they are alive only when Milin on horseback approaches.

It may be that some of the impulsive troublemakers have already given up, and so far there hasn't been any trouble.

However, this quiet situation will not last long. According to Ella's reminder, if the food supply problem is not solved quickly, big trouble will soon occur.

Knowing that Aila would not exaggerate in this regard, Milin went directly to the Xianlang Chamber of Commerce not far from the big bathing place without stopping.

Unlike the entire imperial capital, which was in decline under military control, the outside of the Xianlang Chamber of Commerce was actually very lively.

Large and small vehicles filled with all kinds of goods crowded the streets.

These are the profits of the big players this time, and the vehicles crowding the streets in front of the Xianlang Chamber of Commerce only account for a small part of the profits this time, and can only be regarded as some floating wealth.

A large part of the items that cannot be moved, such as grain, are still in the sealed warehouses.

The Hai Bazhen used by Ella to make steamed buns must have been obtained from these floating wealth.

But even this little bit allowed the Xianlang Chamber of Commerce to use all the manpower it could use to deal with it.

Galina, who was used as a coolie by Ella, sat directly at the entrance of the Wise Wolf Chamber of Commerce. In addition to some seals and documents, there was a portable computer that could wirelessly link to the palace host on the table in front of her.

Every time a piece of property is put into storage, Galina will carefully scan it with the external scanner that comes with the portable computer, then file it on the computer, and finally take out a seal and "snap" it. Cover it.

Some items that cannot be stamped directly, such as jewelry, rare furs, etc., will be placed in a special box after being scanned, and then a seal indicating "confiscation" will be stamped on the box.

The process is not complicated, and it can be said to be a simple task for the super logistics officer Galina, but the quantity is too much, which makes Galina, who is working mechanically, fall into a state of losing the highlight of her eyes.

It wasn't until Milin came to her side that Galina realized what she was doing and quickly stood up and gave Milin a Griffin-style military salute.

"You continue to be busy, don't pay attention to me." Milin raised his hand and waved a Roman Empire salute.

Galina, who had not received any other tasks and returned to work, once again entered a state where her eyes lost their brightness.

Walking into the Chamber of Commerce, the lobby of the Chamber of Commerce, which is specially used for sales and settlement, is even busier than outside.

In order to prevent anyone from being greedy, Lawrence, the president of the Xianlang Chamber of Commerce, personally led a team to conduct a final inventory of these goods before they were put into storage...Lawrence did not know that all these goods had been put into storage after passing through Galina once. It's over.

It is much more efficient to use a scanner to directly store and archive the items in the server than these people to repeatedly count.

Because he was too busy, Milin walked into the chamber of commerce and did not attract Lawrence's attention.

Milin did not remind Lawrence, and walked directly past the busy but inefficient chamber of commerce hall and walked to the area that once belonged to the VIP room.

...Then I saw Lapland gnawing on bones...

"Tsk, I thought you were caught." Milin said a little strangely when he saw Lapland happily chewing on bones.

"I was indeed caught, Doctor." Lapland said without raising his head as he concentrated on chewing the bones.

"...Are bones so delicious?" Milin asked a little strangely.

It is said that he is chewing bones instead of eating meat because what Lapland has in his hand is a simple bone, and it is a very hard bone.

At least judging from how Lapland could only lick it after biting it for a long time, he couldn't chew the bone.

The sage wolf Holo, who noticed Milin's arrival, walked in holding a cloak made of the wolf skin she shed. He first glanced at Lapland, who was licking his bones, and then turned to Milin and said:

"Those are our bones."

"Your bones?" Milin was slightly surprised when he heard Holo's answer.

"It should be said that they are the bones of the wolf god Ulric, the bones of our past." Holo said with a neutral expression.

"...You not only shed your skin, but also tore all your bones apart?" Milin asked incomprehensibly.

"Because the cornerstone of the tower requires a god as a sacrifice." Holo's attitude was as if the god in her words was not her.

"...What do you mean? What kind of tower?" Milin asked.

"Did Mr. Dragon King forget it? It's the lonely tower in the north." Hearing that Milin had forgotten such an important clue, Holo said angrily.

"Oh, is it the lonely tower that symbolizes the position of the Wolf King?" Milin remembered what the other party had mentioned.

While answering, Yonebayashi mentally complained to Holo, who puffed up her cheeks to show that she was angry, "An old woman who is at least a thousand years old is pretending to be a virgin."

"It's the position of the Wolf God." Holo, who continued to be a virgin, said loudly. After finishing speaking, before Milin could speak, he changed his tone and said:

"But in fact, the Wolf God is just the guardian of that lonely tower."

"Guardian? Like Cassandra?" Milin asked.

"It's different. The guardians of Cassandra are the collective name for all those who are willing to protect the world. As the guardians of the tower, the wolf kings in the past generations only protected that tower." Holo said.

"Oh, what are you doing guarding that tower?" Milin asked.

"Because that lonely tower, called the Ancient Dragon Tower, is the dragon that has left...Did Cassandra tell you about the dragon?" Halfway through, Holo realized that she still needed to talk to Milin. Confirm the information to avoid everyone talking about their own opinions.

"I mentioned it a little bit, Emperor Yan, right?" Milin nodded and said.

"It's easy to handle after saying that. Although the guardian barrier was not all built by the dragon clan, because of the dragon's achievements, this tower is also called the ancient dragon tower to commemorate the sacrificed dragons."

Holo said in a slightly nostalgic tone.

"Sacrifice? Didn't Cassandra say they left?" Milin was slightly startled, because Holo's statement and Cassandra's statement seemed to be different.

"Yes, I left, because the protective barrier can only be activated outside." Holo said.

"...So they didn't go home?" Milin said slightly shocked. By the way, do the characters in the daily series also have this setting?

"Maybe he went home." Holo sighed after hearing what Milin said, "But who knows."

"So, the Ancient Dragon Tower is used to commemorate those giant dragons?" Milin asked.

"No, the giant dragon never needs these things. The real purpose of the ancient dragon tower is to protect the center of the barrier." Holo said.

"Centre?" Milin asked with enlightenment.

"Well, or the core, if you think of the guardian barrier as a door, then the ancient dragon tower is the door lock." Holo said.

"Lock?" Milin remembered what Alori said when he got Arthur's holy spear.

"Oh, it seems that the Dragon King's subordinates are also knowledgeable people." This time Holo finally stopped talking about the Riddler: "But that gun is just a safety, not the real key."

"Is the key to the kings?" Milin asked.

"Oh, Master Dragon King knows all this, but there is one thing that Cassandra didn't tell you, of course because she didn't know." Holo narrowed her eyes.

"Don't know what?" Milin suddenly had a subtle feeling.

"The kings are not the key to unlocking it, but the tools to repair it. When there is a problem with the protective barrier, the kings... will become new bones."

As Holo spoke, she moved her gaze to the bones being chewed by Lapland.

"...New bones." Milin's expression gradually changed from confusion to indifference.
