It wasn't until the noise in the hall gradually subsided that King Jinzhong spoke lightly. However, he asked a question that had nothing to do with the matter currently being discussed.
"I recently heard that a group of businessmen from the Central Plains came to the desert. Some of them had a magic sword that could kill invisible enemies... Dear guest, I am very interested in this strange thing. I want to You know, is this true?”
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the palace suddenly became stiff. The old prime minister stood up tremblingly and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Hua Manlou who was the first to speak.
Hua Man took half a step up the stairs, bowed his head respectfully and said:
"Your Majesty is well-informed. Perhaps this divine sword really exists in the world. It's just that people come and go in the desert, and caravans attack every day. I don't know whether this is true or not."
What Hua Manlou said was very beautiful. He neither admitted nor denied it. He also praised the other party by the way. No matter who heard it, it was irresistible. However, the King of Golden Bell did not Following the routine, he raised the corners of his mouth, showed an innocent smile, and said:
"Really? But I don't believe it."
Then, he raised his hands again and patted them twice.
"Come here, bring over all the things that were confiscated from the two guests in front of the temple."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old prime minister opened his mouth to plead for mercy. He bowed and said:
"Your Majesty, this is against the rules. They are visitors from a higher state. We should..."
But before he finished speaking, he seemed to be suddenly shocked by the sideways glance from the King of Admiralty. He lowered his head and silently closed his mouth.
The old prime minister returned to his queue, and Lu Xiaofeng felt that his back seemed to be more curved.
The young king didn't intend to give anyone a chance to refuse, but within a few breaths, a guard presented the things. The King of Admiralty stretched out two fingers and picked them carelessly, and then turned his attention to Xi. On the sword.
"Isn't that what it is? A tattered, rusty sword? I don't see anything special about it, either?"
As he spoke, he also looked at the flower-filled building below the stairs, but he was disappointed to find that the smile on his face did not change at all, which was very boring.
He immediately lost his interest and thought of another idea.
He held the hilt of the sword, slapped his open palm twice with the sword blade, and then said loudly:
"When I look at ancient books, everyone knows that divine objects have the ability to obscure themselves. Maybe the current rusty appearance is just an illusion?"
"Come here, bring up the furnace. Today we are going to verify the authenticity of the divine sword. As long as the rust marks on the sword are melted away, maybe the divine sword will reveal its original appearance. In this way, I can count it. It must be a meritorious thing!"
After King Zhongzhong finished speaking, he stood up and condescended to walk to Hua Manlou, who was standing in the center of the hall, and pretended to ask:
"By the way, if this wasn't a divine sword, it might have been melted directly. However, this is just a rusty sword after all. Distinguished guest, you shouldn't... care."
Although he said he was asking, his tone was actually very positive.
After hearing this, Hua Manlou gritted his teeth and clenched his fists quietly under the cover of his big sleeves.
Huazhaolou is still trapped in the hands of King Jinzhong. No matter what, he can't act impulsively now.
On one side is the fifth brother who has been very kind to him since he was a child, and on the other side is a friend who has only recently met but has been a life-saving help to him. At this moment, he really can't make an immediate decision.
Fortunately, the King of Admiralty did not wait for his answer at all. The furnace was already carried into the palace and the fire was lit. For a moment, the temperature in the entire palace rose.
"Since the guest has no objection, let's get started."
King Jinzhong laughed and said, Chu Qi could actually see cruelty in his innocent smile.
Fortunately, she has already selected the component on the work panel - [Makeup·Deep Old Marks] (Effect: Increased tolerance to high temperatures), which requires 300 energy points.
Now he was just waiting for the king with a bad character to let go and throw the rusty sword into the furnace.
The reason why Chuqi didn't start making parts immediately was because he was worried that when spinning the energy, the rusty sword would emit golden light in full view of the public. At that time, the name of the divine sword would immediately be established, which would definitely bring trouble to Huamanlou and the others.
Maybe if Huazhaolou didn't rescue him, Huamanlou and Lu Xiaofeng would have to come in as well.
There is no way, I am in a foreign land, I have to be cautious now.
"Gentlemen, let us witness the authenticity of this divine sword together!"
