7 KINGDOMS: conquest
21. Towards the royal capital
The next day, Noran went to the capital on his horse. While Sin and the others said they would take on another mission and increase their strength first.
"Sir, we'll catch up with you in the capital" Sin said.
Noran nodded, riding his horse and leaving Tranduil.
The journey to the capital takes 2 full days, this is because of the distance from Tranduil.
He continues to drive horses, in the middle of the journey seen a group of monsters shrouded a horse carriage.
"The monster? What'sthat?" Noran spurred his horse closer.
A hairy monster with a dog's head and a body filled with fur.
"Kobold's? Why are there so many kobolds?" Noran continued to drive until the distance of the horse carriage was about 5 meters.
Noran got off his horse and pulled out his two swords.
"Black steel sword! The blood monkey sword!" two swords appeared in his hand, one was jet black and one was blood red.
The kobolds looked towards Noran, looking at him in confusion.
The horse carriage was only escorted by 4 guards, this was less than the guards belonging to Esline.
Noran ran forward and started slashing at them, these monsters only had level 70, it was very easy for him to kill them.
Swing swings...
The two Kobold heads slashed down and rolled, bringing up the notification on Noran's head.
[Dig! Kill kobold! Exp +100!]
[Dig! Kill kobold! Exp +100!]
Noran looked at the 4 guards who were fighting beside him, they were indeed using quite good armor and weapons.
However, that was not the case, what shocked Noran was their level that was too low.
The levels of each of them only ranged from 40-50 only. To fight a kobold alone can be sure they are dead.
Noran slashed at the kobolds that were approaching towards him, and attacked them.
One swing was powerful and deadly, almost all kobolds died with slashes.
[Dig! Kill the enemy by slashing the vital point! Critical effect of 10%!]
"Critical effects? It's amazing!" Noran continued to slash each kobold while protecting the horse carriage.
After quite a long fight, all the kobolds had been killed. Noran looked like they were still fine, while the 4 guards looked exhausted.
Blood filled Noran's body, yet he was already used to this.
"Are you all right?" Noran asked as he approached the guards.
"Ah, we're fine sir, thank you for helping us." a guard saluted Noran.
The other guards also followed him and paid their respects to Noran.
"Why is there a kobold here?" Noran felt strange about this incident.
"We also don't know sir, the kobolds usually live in the forest, never show up in the meadow" said one guard.
These kobolds even appeared on the main road leading to the capital, which made him feel even stranger.
"If so, I'll go first" Noran said.
He rode his horse and spurred it on, continuing his journey back to the capital.
Inside the horse carriage, two girls sat down and trembled in fear, not daring to see what was happening outside.
"What happened outside.." after the sound of the long fight stopped, he then decided to take a look.
Dozens of kobold bodies were strewn around their horse carriages, as well as 4 of their guards were seen sitting on the ground.
"What's going on?" ask a girl.
"Young lady, someone has helped us kill them" said a guard.
"A person of about 16 years, his strength is extraordinary, even he can kill these kobolds casually" said a guard.
He told how the young man fought, with two swords in his hands, he killed many kobolds with one strike.
"One attack?" the two girls were in disbelief.
Killing kobolds with one strike? How strong was that young man?
"What does the young man look like?" ask the girl.
The guard then told him what the characteristics of the young man he called.
He has an appearance with black hair, beautiful brown eyes and wears a black suit.
He also held two swords, one in jet black and one in blood red.
"Black hair? Brown eyes?" the girl muttered.
Never once had he seen someone who had black hair, as well as beautiful brown eyes, made him even more curious.
"The young man is heading to the young lady's capital" said the guard.
The girl smiled, if the young man also headed for the capital, there was a chance that he would meet her.
"Continue the journey." said the girl.
They then continued their journey towards the capital.
Meanwhile, somewhere else...
Noran now stopped in front of the gates of the capital, the existing gate was larger and higher than the city of Tranduil.
In addition, the gate also uses a giant iron door as a gate.
The magnificent city is visible from outside the gate and passionate guards are seen patrolling around the city walls.
"The city is big." murmured Noran.
The capital city has 4 gates, which are connected with their 4 royal regions.
Because Noran had come from Tranduil, a small town in the eastern region of the kingdom, he was now at the eastern gate.
A long line of horse carriages was seen in front of him, this was many times longer than the city of Tranduil.
Noran waited for his turn to enter the city, after a long wait, finally his turn arrived.
"Show me your identity." a soldier came to him.
Noran showed his card and paid 1 gold coin as an entrance fee.
Even in the tranduil city alone was only 1 silver coin, the cost was too different.
This is done so that the capital does not have a population that exceeds the capabilities of the capital.
After paying, Noran then entered the capital, finding if there were still 2 layers of other fortresses.
And a magnificent palace was seen in the middle of the capital, which was protected by the last fort.
The capital was built on a hill and the castle on the top of the hill, making the castle visible from anywhere.
The city was large and majestic, making Noran fascinated with this city.
"Where does Esline live?" noran muttered.
He then explored this vast capital, and down the main streets of the existing capital.
"The capital is too big, how to find his house?" Noran Mumbled.
