Chapter 565: Chapter 561: Imperial Capital’s “Street Racing Gang Chapter 565: Chapter 561: Imperial Capital’s “Street Racing Gang “Heavenly Unicorns!” In the courtyard filled with rare magical plants, Muria gazed at the four unicorns, emanating a holy aura as they quietly grazed the magical plants on the lawn. Shaking his head, he commented, “What a luxury.”

These unicorns with a holy aura are not native to this world. They could only be transported from the Heavenly Realm. The problem was they couldn’t reproduce. When Heavenly Unicorns gave birth in this world, their offspring would devolve into common unicorns, making their large-scale reproduction impossible.

“Your Majesty, please get in!” All people had been cleared out of the manor, so only the son of Andrew, Carmen, served as the attendant. “After you get in, you can sit still. We will reach our destination as soon as the carriage stops,” he assured.

“Alright!” Muria nodded and climbed on the carriage. Behind the carriage, twenty-four black knights closely followed, the escort was no different from a typical one when the Seventh Princess, Gladys, would travel.

“This must be the private carriage of Her Royal Highness,” speculated Muria as he sat in the carriage. A fragrant and rich scent filled the cabin. It was very pleasant, and Muria found himself intoxicated with the natural girlie body fragrance, which made his body feel slightly hot.

“Interesting!” Muria looked at the small golden magic array spinning on the tea table in front of him. It was very eye-catching, seemingly designed to attract his attention.

“A control magic array?” Muria inspected it and found that it was simple to operate. Anyone familiar with some basic runes could manipulate it.

Muria reached out, fiddled with it a bit, and suddenly the surrounding carriage compartment turned transparent, as if it didn’t exist at all, revealing all the scenery to Muria’s eyes.

The carriage had been lifted into the sky by the four unicorns and was speeding at full throttle. Yet inside the carriage, Muria felt nothing, not even the slightest vibration or even the moment of ascension.

“Luxurious indeed!” Muria exclaimed while looking at the surrounding scenery. He was now above a bustling city, which should be the capital of the Uranos Empire without doubt. In the sky, pairs of majestic and formidable Griffin Knights patrolled along set routes.

The neat and tidy buildings extended continuously to the horizon. Even at Muria’s current height and range of vision, he could not see the edge of the city. The sheer magnitude of the city reminded him of the metropolises from his previous life.

The city below indeed seemed far more grandiose and splendid than the metropolises of his former life, offering an overwhelming awe-inspiring view. As the carriage flew, Muria noticed that the buildings below were gradually becoming larger and more majestic. Tower after tower with swirling element clouds appeared before Muria, their heights even greater than the skyscrapers of his former world.

“Hmm, we are heading towards the central region of the capital.” Muria concluded, “In other words, is the headquarter of Deep Blue Commerce Association located in the suburbs of the capital? That’s a surprisingly low status for a merchant.”

“Now we are in the noble district.” Muria looked down at the contiguous block-shaped buildings, his eyes showing a hint of curiosity. He was seeing a different spectacle.

The knights patrolling in the sky, no longer rode griffons. Their mounts had been replaced with more powerful Dragon-lions or intimidating sub-dragons.

“What a grand scene! In other duchies, the griffin knights who are used to add grandeur are mere patrolling soldiers at the periphery of the capital here.” Muria marveled, gaining a preliminary understanding of the Empire’s strength.

Similar to the cats and dogs of his former world, Griffons are the most successful mid-tier ferocious beasts in this world. They have flourished massively, aided by human beings. It’s estimated that humans have domesticated over a billion griffons. Every human nation favors griffon-rearing and nurturing Griffin Knights.

As a Wind-element beast, the strength of Griffin doesn’t rank high among the mid-tier ferocious beasts. Its reproductive ability and the ease of domestication are average, but it is the most successful. Humans are particularly infatuated with it because among the mid-tier ferocious beasts, Griffin is by far the most majestic looking.

With a body that combines the Lion and Eagle, golden wings, and white feathers, it perfectly fits the human aesthetic sense. In many small countries, Griffin Knights serve as honor guards for the rulers and are considered mere objects of admiration. This fact proves that being attractive really can change your destiny. It can be foreseen that as long as humans don’t go extinct, Griffins will continue to prosper.

“Greetings to Her Royal Highness Gladys!”

After entering the noble district, not only the Golden Ranked knights patrolling the sky with more powerful ferocious beasts but even the aristocratic children playing with their flying creatures, all greeted and made way for the carriage procession carrying Muria, not daring to offend.

Just as Muria thought he would safely watch the capital’s scenery and enter Gladys’s palace, an unexpected incident occurred. More than a dozen rainbows deviated from behind a mage tower. Due to the short distance, the Heavenly Unicorns and the Black Knights couldn’t react in time. The rainbows hit them directly.

Shattered black armors, bloody white hair…wirled down from the sky. The sudden accident astonished the aristocracy and city patrolling knights in the vicinity.

The violent collision made Muria feel the shock even inside the carriage. A sense of absurdity surging from within him. He found it unbelievable to face a terrorist attack while sitting in the Seventh Princess’s carriage in the capital of the Uranos Empire. Wasn’t this some kind of joke about public security?

“Dare to bump into the Royal Family, seize them!” All the patrolling knights around circled in, filled with murderous rage. The royal family being attacked under their watch was their dereliction of duty.

“Her Royal Highness Gladys, are you all right!” Some of the young nobles also reacted, rushing towards the carriage….

The entire airspace abruptly plunged into a mess. But now, Muria had clearly seen what the things that hit the convoy were like. They were shuttle-shaped magic devices with some energy jets at the tail.

“Street Racers!” Looking at the deformed magic devices that had crashed, the infamous term ‘Street Racers’ popped up in Muria’s mind. He did not expect that such a group existed in the world of Elasia and that he would be crashed into at their first meeting.

Of course, he was unharmed. But half of the Black Knights assigned to him by Gladys had their life signals vanished, and among the four Heavenly Unicorns, one was struck dead on spot while another was seriously injured. Additionally, the side of his carriage was severely crushed in.
