5. Arriving at the Royal Capital

"Ah, it feels like the world has become more beautiful!" Larry stretched and yawned in the early morning, while the servants greeted him with friendly hellos. Larry responded with a greeting of his own.

Upon hearing Larry's words, Charlotte blushed and gave him a fierce glare, causing him to chuckle foolishly and leaving her frustrated.

"Larry, get ready. After our meal, we will embark on our journey. It will take at least a day to reach the capital city," Charlotte said sternly. She remembered how he stayed up until dawn last night. She couldn't fathom what he was made of.

Since the Sheffield family's territory was still quite distant from the capital, even with the speed of dragon horses, it would take a day of travel.

"Dragon Horse: A horse with dragon bloodline, lv.5, stronger than regular horses and has better stamina," Larry said, pointing at Hueton, who was preparing the carriage. "I'm not prepared yet, but as soon as Hueton is ready, we can depart. So, our speed depends on you."

Charlotte nodded and walked towards the dining room. Larry stayed behind and shouted, "Go ahead and have your meal. I'll wait here."

Charlotte didn't respond, presumably already inside the house.

Larry turned around, looked at the estate in front of him, and sighed. "At least this is my first residence since I crossed over. I should offer you some benefits..."

As the owner of the title "Creator of Magic," Larry was a level 500 mage proficient in all seven magic elements: fire, water, earth, nature, electricity, light, and darkness. Although it sounded impressive, any level 500 mage would become a "Creator of Magic" with some gold coins.

There were still many trap skills in each magic element, as well as defensive magic formations of different attributes.

Larry had already carved an eleventh-level magic formation yesterday. It wasn't because he was stingy, but because this formation was most suitable for the current situation.

"Ice Spike Trap: lv.110, triggered by enemy attacks. After activation, it reflects a cold ice spike that attacks the enemy."

"Ice Spike: lv.40, the primary output skill for early-stage ice mages, it slows down enemies upon impact."

"I've implemented a protective magic formation for the estate, so we don't have to worry about being attacked from behind," Larry said with a smile.

"Larry..." Charlotte's expression softened upon hearing Larry's words.

Larry knew what she was thinking and approached her, gently hugging her before pushing her onto the carriage.

"Alright, enough chitchat. Get on the carriage first, Miss Maid can't wait any longer."

After pushing Charlotte onto the carriage, Larry inspected the carriage.

As the luxurious carriage of the Sheffield family, it was pulled by four dragon horses and adorned with extravagant decorations made from materials unfamiliar to Larry, possibly even gold.

Although it was tacky, it had to be said that it was extravagant.

[Dragon Horse: LV.5, horses with rare dragon bloodline. Depending on the type of dragon bloodline, the appearance and abilities of Dragon Horses vary. They have greater stamina and strength compared to ordinary horses.]

Considering Larry's understanding of this country, having lv.5 Dragon Horses for carriage use was already considered lavish.

Larry regretted not choosing the secondary profession of a lord. Although it was a career that required a significant amount of in-game currency and heavy investment, growing up as a lord was simply a bug.

Before crossing over, Larry was the top-ranked player in the game, known as a master who brought the profession of a lord to its pinnacle.

It was said that he invested over a million...

That lord with the title of [Emperor], though his combat power was only average, his subordinates were amazing! As long as he spent the corresponding materials and in-game currency, he could train NPC units below his own level of twenty.Once upon a time, when Larry was mixed up in a copy, everyone had no choice but to vote for him to leave the team. Only this boss chased Larry all around with a bunch of level 480 NPCs and finally voluntarily left the copy. However, this boss had never spoken in the game before and had a very bad temper, so generally no one teamed up with him, and he didn't need others either. It was said that Larry's time was the only time this boss entered a copy with someone else. If Larry had the ability to create minions like that boss, he could easily take on a bunch of level 100 Divine Palace guards, let alone the level 5 Longma.

"Larry, come up, why are you standing there?" Charlotte poked her head out and woke Larry up, who then climbed onto the carriage.

Charlotte looked at Larry with a slightly evasive gaze, her cold and aloof demeanor disappearing without a trace, which puzzled Larry. Although Charlotte's temper had been getting better these days, she shouldn't act like a little girl.

"Um...Larry..." Charlotte lowered her head and spoke up.

"Huh?" Larry looked at her strangely.

Charlotte raised her head slightly and quickly lowered it again, assuming a feminine posture.

Larry's eyelids twitched as he watched. Meanwhile, the carriage started moving.

Charlotte took two deep breaths and then stared into Larry's eyes with a blush on her face, saying, "Larry, my parents are waiting for us in the capital. They want to meet you."

Larry thought she was going to say something else, but it turned out to be just that. He had known for a long time that he would definitely meet Charlotte's parents first this time. After all, they were in the capital, and it was only natural and reasonable to meet each other.

Whether as a contractor or... the one who raised their daughter?

"Okay, got it." Larry smiled.

"After all, you took away their daughter." Just as disappointment began to show in Charlotte's eyes, Larry laughed and said again.

Charlotte originally thought that Larry didn't care much about this matter, and she was disappointed with his attitude. But she didn't expect Larry's words to exceed her imagination.

"Ah! I won't talk to you anymore. I want to sleep. I didn't sleep well last night. Oh, and no wandering thoughts." Charlotte turned her head away and then kicked off her two red high heels from her feet. She crawled into the reclining chair inside the carriage, curling up into a ball.

"Alright, have a good sleep." Larry gently rubbed her head and then turned his head to look out the window.

Perhaps because Larry killed that group of people in the forest that day, there was peace all the way and no other families came looking for trouble. And those three families? Those people were probably all dead by Larry's hand.

After a day of galloping, Larry and the others finally arrived in the capital.

"This capital is quite big." Larry nodded.

Upon hearing Larry's words, Charlotte looked curious.

"Have you been to a bigger place than here, Larry?"

Hearing Charlotte's slightly proud tone, Larry smiled and said, "I've been to a place ten times bigger than this, but that place is not our capital."

This capital could be considered big, but it was not as big as the county town in our hometown, not to mention a city at the municipal level.

"Really? Can you take me there to see in the future?" Charlotte looked at Larry eagerly and was very interested in what Larry said.

Noticing Larry's expression, Charlotte rushed forward and clung to his body, looking up at him, "You promised me, Larry."

Looking down at Charlotte, Larry felt her concern, and he brushed away his troubled thoughts. He gently embraced Charlotte and said, "Hmm, I will definitely make it."
