The entire inner hall was extremely quiet. I don't know if they were surprised by my youthful appearance or something else. Everyone, including Jie Hain, looked at me without saying a word. But at this moment, a discordant voice came next to me. sounded.
"How dare you, why don't you kneel down when you see His Majesty?"
I squinted my eyes and turned around to see a middle-aged fat man dressed in a typical Lugaoin style. He was wearing a white robe and cloak embroidered with gold. The hoop of his turban was studded with a huge ruby. Under his broad nose Wearing two treacherous mustaches, he looked like a fat rat covered in gold. Among the two rows of ministers, he stood at the front of the right row. He must have a high status.
Tok's skinny mouse was much more pleasing to the eye than him.
I just lightly glanced at it with the corner of my eye, and immediately straightened my eyes as if I didn't want to look at it a second time. I guess this fat mouse must be very angry.
"May I ask Your Majesty, can what this fat man said represent Your Majesty?"
Ignoring the other party's provocation, I raised my head without being humble or condescending, squinting my eyes and looking directly at Jehain.
Of course, Jie Hein couldn't say yes. How could the royal family have such dignity? He could only use this fat man to say such words. If he said this himself, it would undoubtedly be a provocation to the Adventurer Alliance. Jie Hein was not stupid yet. to this extent.
"Minister Jace, please don't be rude."
Jehein reprimanded him calmly. Judging from his questioning look, it is no surprise that the fat man must have done this under his instruction. I don’t think someone like him can sit in such a high position. People can be so idiotic and brainless that they come out to contradict the messenger on their own.
I smiled nonchalantly, and the little ghost in the necklace angrily started to defend me. As a noble candidate saint, she is also a treasure in the palm of her hand at home. She has never seen anyone in front of her. So arrogant (except of course for someone who often bullies her). She was babbling and gesticulating inside, constantly holding the stick in her hand and swinging it like a batsman. It seemed as if he was about to appear at any moment and give the fat man a sap.
After Jehein's signal, I silently sat on the seat in front of the fat man. When I passed him, under the vicious signal from Alice in the necklace, I smiled at him in a voice that only he could hear. said.
"Lord Jess, I heard that the public security in Lugaoyin City is not good recently. You should be careful."
The poor fat minister's face suddenly turned pale, and cold sweat broke out from the jeweled turban. It seems that as an elder, I can command those damn adventurers and let them teach me an unforgettable lesson, or even make me disappear silently...
I think it's right, but I don't plan to do it yet. After all, this poor fat man is just a puppet. Saying this is just to calm the anger of the little Alice.
"Hehe... you deserve it!!"
I saw the fat man looking embarrassed. Our candidate saintess finally put on a smile.
After sitting down, Jie Hein and a group of ministers began to chat with me one after another. At one moment, he praised young people and talents, and at the next moment, he said that he was mature, sophisticated, witty, and could be used in many situations. Almost none of them were removed from my body.
You see, before my butt is even hot, these sugar-coated bombs are coming in succession. Fortunately, Talon reminded me, otherwise I would have lost my way.
After clearing my throat, I used my Tai Chi massage hands and quietly added all the icing, while gently pushing the shells inside. When it comes to intrigue, I am no match for anyone here, but when it comes to being thick-skinned, I still have a little bit of confidence, don't you just ask? Aren't you just bullying me for being young? Okay, why don’t we just pretend to be stupid? Or the answer is wrong. Or you don’t know anything when you ask, don’t be angry, I’m not young, I don’t understand anything.
"Wu Fan is an old man and has little promise. I wonder when he changed his job?" The minister master gave me a sap in order to travel alone. As a result, I forgot a lot of things. "I'm confused. Minister A is speechless.
"Elder Wu Fan is so powerful. Your master must be even more outstanding. I wonder if we have the honor to know his name and professional level?" Minister B.
"Hey, since then, I have almost forgotten all the past things. To be honest, apart from the experience, I just wanted to go on a journey of searching for lost memories. Sir, you look familiar. I think We must have met before, please tell me my real name, how old I am, who my parents are, whether I have any brothers and sisters, how many wives I have, how old my children are..."
I wiped away a few sad tears and held on to Minister B until he pretended to be sick and fell to the ground and left in a hurry.
"I have no choice but to express my deep condolences for the last monster attack at Rogge Camp. I wonder if Elder Wu Fan can give us a detailed explanation." Minister C is very direct, I like it.
"I don't know the specific situation. Akara asked me to practice hard and don't worry about other things." I answered simply.
The ministers talked for a long time, but nothing seemed to come out. They had seen scoundrels, but never such scoundrels. They could tell lies so confidently with their eyes open, and it was not easy for them to fall out. Who called us Luo? The fist of grid camp is big.
However, looking at the gloomy and terrifying face of Jie Hain's handsome guy, I knew that Lu Gaoyin's remote transmission was probably of no use. Anyway, ever since I saw him and the fat man singing and giving me a show of strength, I would not What kind of illusion are you holding on to?
It doesn't matter. Let's discuss the smuggling matter with Tarun. If that doesn't work, we can finish the task quickly and take a boat to Kurast Port. The people in charge there are all our own people and are familiar with Akara, so they must be the same. It won't embarrass me. It's just that it will take about a year or two before I can go back. Thinking of this, I feel guilty. After taking possession of Vilas, the honeymoon has not even ended, and she has to live alone in an empty house. Moreover, I don’t know if Lal’s family relocation can be caught up.
My face darkened as I thought about it, and I was no longer interested in making excuses with these ministers.
"If your Majesty has nothing to do, please allow me to take my leave first."
I stood up and bowed lightly.
"Didn't you, Elder, come here to apply for the qualification for remote transmission? Why did you rush back so quickly?"
Just when I wanted to turn around and leave, Jehain's voice sounded.
"oh?"
He raised his head and saw his cold expression in disbelief. I have already given up, but he proposed it himself, what good thing is there?
"Of course, I just saw that His Majesty's face was not good today, so I didn't dare to disturb him too much. If His Majesty has this intention, it would be great." I answered with cupped fists, without any hope in my heart.
"My health is fine, but this long-distance teleportation magic circle was built by Lu Gaoyin's kingdom at a huge cost. Even if I know that you are qualified to use it and have the intention to fulfill it, you must give an explanation to your subjects. No. It’s so selfish to make an exception.”
Jehein still looked indifferent, and it was impossible to tell what was going on in his mind.
"Let's do this, the first two months. There seems to be something wrong over there in the sewer. People often hear terrifying howls. My restless daughter seems to be very interested and wants to investigate inside. I am worried about her safety. Well, I think if Elder Wu Fan is there to protect us, it should be absolutely safe."
When talking about his daughter, Jehain's tense expression seemed to reveal a hint of doting.
No, I have no experience in being a wet nurse.
I frowned.
"Why don't you just let me go alone. Why bother Her Royal Highness to go in person for such a trivial matter."
"Elder, you can rest assured. Although my daughter's talent is far inferior to yours, she is still a level 15 mercenary and has the ability to protect herself. In addition, I will send two more mercenaries who are familiar with sewers. If the soldiers lead the way, Elder Wu Fan must not even have this little confidence."
Jie Hain smiled faintly, and the meaning was already obvious. You can't even do such a small thing, and you still want to be qualified to use remote transmission? Dream on.
"Then it will be as Your Majesty wishes."
I snorted secretly. Although I don’t understand what kind of medicine is being sold in this Jie Hain’s gourd, what am I afraid of? At most, they will be scattered in one shot and two. I really don’t care about your long-distance teleportation.
"snort----"
Looking at the empty inner hall, Jie Hain, who was sitting on the imperial chair, snorted with a sullen face.
"Your Majesty, this kid is invulnerable to water and fire. He is not easy to deal with." The fat minister stood beside him and said with cold sweat on his forehead.
"There is no need to make a fuss. Elder Rogge is not something that ordinary people can take on. Those old guys in Akara are mature. If the elders sent this time are allowed to be manipulated by us, it will be even more suspicious."
Jehein analyzed calmly, with a look of understanding, but the gloom and irritability between his brows were even worse.
Adventurer Alliance, you brought an elder here for no reason, what are your intentions...
"Let's take a look at his strength for the time being. Okay, please step back first. I want to be alone for a while."
Jehein waved the fat man to retreat, and he could no longer hide the tired look on his face. He, King Lu Gaoyin, was really a coward, but just wait, one day, I will take all the The adventurer surrenders himself.
Jehain's crazy laughter resounded in the empty palace.
When we walked outside the palace, I felt warmed by Talon's figure not far away. As the president of the guild, he had many things to do, but I didn't expect that he could wait for so long under the hot sun.
"How about it?"
Seeing me slowly walking out of the palace gate, Tarun hurriedly came up to me and asked.
"Let's talk about it when we get back."
I pulled the lower edge of my cloak and hat and said, "It's too conspicuous outside the palace. I don't want to be discovered on the spot by a familiar adventurer."
"Protect Her Royal Highness the Princess?" Talon, who was calm, couldn't help but lost his voice.
"Is there anything special about this princess?"
I took a sip of the hot refreshing water, crossed my legs and sat leisurely on the recliner.
"It's precisely because there's nothing special about this princess that I find it strange." Talon said with a wry smile.
"She is His Majesty Jehain's only daughter, a level 15 mercenary, good at ice magic, taciturn, and always wears a black veil. Not many people even in the palace know what she looks like..."
"That's it." I sighed.
"I can't help it. I don't know how to describe it. Her Royal Highness the Princess is really..., uh.... It's not very impressive. If you hadn't mentioned it, I might have forgotten it."
Taron also seemed depressed.
"Forget it, the difference in strength is obvious anyway, I don't believe what tricks Jie Hain can do, I'll see what happens when the time comes." I drank up the refreshing water in one breath, my tongue was so hot that I was shaking.
"By the way, what's the name of this princess?"
As I was leaving, I suddenly turned around and asked.
"It seems her name is Morissa."
Still seems? It seems that this mages guild really has no intelligence awareness. I shook my head with a wry smile and walked out.
Early the next morning, according to the agreed time, I got up early and rushed to the west of the city under the leadership of a soldier. It's really positive, Your Highness Princess, maybe some sparks of love can be sparked again. "
Alice's sour tone came through.
"Don't think so wildly. I still don't know what she looks like. What if she is a princess with a pockmarked face and a cute personality?"
"Hmph, I don't know who was muttering about the topic of no ugly girls in the royal family yesterday. Besides, don't you men all like princesses? The same is true in novels. There are all handsome and powerful heroes who defeat the devil and then win the love of the beautiful princess. , woo
This little ghost started to get into trouble again. I really didn’t know what to say to her.
"Little ghost. You seem to have forgotten yourself. Think about it, the daughter of the king of any small country can be called a princess. There are not many princesses in this dark continent, but there are only three candidate saints, so , if you don’t want to, why should I mess with those princesses?”
"This seems to make sense." I can imagine the little ghost finding confidence and raising his head and chest. An arrogant look.
"Wow!! Do you have some rude thoughts in your mind like "That stupid ghost in the necklace is really easy to coax"?"
Just when I was feeling proud, the little ghost shot back, and I almost nodded in agreement. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and bit my tongue. He quickly shouted and shook his head like a rattle. It's really careless. It seems that after winning a little ghost on the beach last time. I had begun to become proud, completely ignoring her title of "Her Royal Highness the Saint with Fiery Eyes".
After walking for more than an hour under the leadership of the soldiers, we finally arrived at our destination, where four people were already waiting. Two of them are dressed as desert mercenaries, and the other one is more special. He has a full beard and is tall and strong. His strong muscles are wrapped in solid leather armor, and he has a certain pointed iron felt on his head. cap.
The last petite white figure is undoubtedly the one I want to protect this time - Princess Moissa.
"Boy, you seem to be late."
The tall bearded man let out a thunderous cry, which was no less powerful than Doug. If the two of them joined hands to sing the song "I am a wolf in the north", it would probably shake the entire Lu Gaoyin.
"My name is Graz, and I am the mercenary captain of Lu Gaoyin. That old guy Tarun told me about you."
Graz patted my shoulder hard, and when he saw that I didn't move at all, he couldn't help showing an approving look.
"Yes, yes, he is indeed a brave warrior."
Just rely on this to judge the opponent's strength? What if the other party is a mage? I was ashamed of what Glaze did, but it seemed that Talen didn't tell him my identity, and it didn't look like he was someone who could keep his mouth shut.
"My men, Karen and Holt, these two boys often go into the sewers, and they are almost turning into mice."
Graz turned around and introduced.
"Hello, I am Druid---Wu."
I nodded to them. The two of them seemed shy and quickly expressed their respect. Also, if they both had a personality like Graz, I would have a headache.
"Hello, Her Royal Highness Princess Marissa."
Finally, I said to the petite girl who had been standing there silently.
She just nodded slightly, and there was no sign of indifference or enthusiasm. She seemed to be as taciturn as Taron said.
"Before going down, can you tell me the information you know?"
After saying hello, I immediately asked.
"Master Wu, it's like this. A few months ago, many of our brothers often went to the sewers to practice because there were fewer monsters there, which was a perfect place for weaker teams. But one day, There were suddenly more monsters inside, and several of our brothers accidentally died inside."
Karen said sadly.
