Chapter 283 [Mist of Nothing]
Yerov, Royal Palace.
When the carriage engraved with the coat of arms of the Franzel family drove in here again, Rige also visited this chalk castle again.
However, during this visit to the palace, Li Ge could clearly feel that the atmosphere here had changed a lot compared to the last time.
Because it was the investiture ceremony last time, Li Ge was able to see many nobles here. He saw them rushing to the audience in gorgeous clothes and chatting happily while walking. It felt like they were participating in a celebration. .
But this time, the palace seemed to have turned into a heavily guarded fortress. Groups of heavily armed knights could be seen running back and forth everywhere. Their movements were hurried and their momentum was terrifying. The whole space was visible to the naked eye. A sense of tension.
"It seems that this time has greatly stimulated the royal family."
Li Ge looked at all this as if it had nothing to do with him, and his speeches also had a feeling of being aloof. Anyone could see that he was staying aloof from the matter.
Liz, on the other hand, looked a little timid, like a guilty thief, which made Li Ge very helpless.
This little princess is too good at hiding, right?
This guilty look is just like telling others that the initiator of everything is here.
"Liz." Li Ge immediately patted Liz on the shoulder and said, "Relax, you are like this, even if you are fine, you will be suspected of something."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Liz also knew that she had a big problem, and said very frustrated: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
"I know." Li Ge massaged Liz's shoulders. While feeling the girl's unexpectedly stiff shoulders, he said: "Don't think too much, just empty your head. Treat it like going home. This is where it is anyway." Is it yours? There’s no need to be so nervous.”
"Okay, okay." Lizzy pressed her shoulders a few times and seemed to relax a little. She said sheepishly, "I'll do my best."
"That's good." Li Ge smiled slightly, let go of Liz's shoulders, and said, "Then let's go in."
Liz nodded repeatedly and followed Li Ge towards the front.
Their destination is between kings.
According to Yuri, only Hemulinpu, the king, knew how to enter the kingdom's treasure house, and the rest didn't even know where the treasure house was.
Including Yuli herself, she clearly claimed that she had entered the treasure house once, but she had no idea where the treasure house was.
"I did go to a place under the leadership of the king, but when I came back to my senses, the door of the treasure house had already appeared in front of me."
Yuli told Li Ge about her experience in such a mysterious way.
Thanks to this, Li Ge became more interested in the so-called treasure house, which made him want to see what kind of tricks it contained.
As for the location of the king, Li Ge, who had been here once, already remembered it.
Therefore, even if Yuli didn't come this time, Li Ge knew how to go.
After a lot of twists and turns, Li Ge successfully arrived at Wangjian and came to the gate of Wangjian.
"The Sword Master Rigo Brighaut has come to pay his respects!"
Like last time, a civil servant stood by the king's gate. After seeing Li Ge, he immediately shouted to the door and asked two knights to slowly push the door open.
"Then, then I will wait here for the master to come out."
Liz knew that she, the attendant, could not go on any further. She didn't know whether she felt relieved or something, so she hurriedly spoke to Li Ge.
"Okay." Li Ge nodded and said, "Wait for me to come out."
After saying that, Li Ge walked into the king's room alone.
The relationship between the kings was the same as last time, with no changes, except that all the civil servants and knights standing on both sides disappeared this time, leaving only King Hemulinpu sitting on the throne, seemingly reviewing a document. .
Of course, Li Ge knew that King Hemulinpu would not be the only one here.
He glanced at the position behind King Hemulimp without any trace, and then came to the throne.
"I have met His Majesty."
Li Ge bowed lightly, looking calm and calm.
"Coming?"
King Hemulinpu also raised his head from the document in his hand, looked at Li Ge standing below, and showed the same kind smile as when they first met.
He closed the document in his hand, put it aside, and then spoke.
"I have to apologize to you." King Hemulinpu started with this sentence and said to Li Ge: "My son did some inappropriate and abrupt things to your family. This is I am not supervising well, I hope you can forgive me for once, Mr. Brighaut.”
After saying that, King Hemulinpu actually lowered his head towards Li Ge and made a sincere apology.
This actually surprised Li Ge.
The majestic king actually bowed his head and apologized to others?
This... is really interesting.
Li Ge's eyes flashed slightly, but his tone was still as calm as ever.
"Your Majesty is serious." Li Ge said: "This is not your responsibility, it is just the third prince's personal behavior. There is no need for you to apologize to me."
"No, I said, this is due to my poor supervision." King Hemulinpu shook his head and said: "I just indulged him too much, which made him dare to do anything. I originally thought that even if he continued Everyone should know how to be bold when it comes to boldness. Who would have thought that he would be so bold as to attack the relatives of the Sword Master? This is really..."
King Hemulimp sighed softly.
Li Ge didn't say anything, just watched quietly, expressing silence.
And looking at Li Ge like this, a thoughtful look flashed in King Hemulinpu's eyes.
But soon, he recovered again.
"If we really want to say that this attack happened, it was his own fault. Ignoring my ban and sneaking out of the palace, it can be regarded as a profound lesson for him." King Hemulinpu said: "I hope Mr. Brighaut can be accommodating and let this matter go by."
The implication of King Hemulinpu's words is very simple, he is telling Rige that Thorok has been miserable enough, and there should be no need to worry about what he has done, right?
"That's natural." Li Ge said calmly: "Now that I'm here, it means that I no longer intend to pursue the case any further."
Only Li Ge himself knows how much truth or falsehood these words have.
At least, King Hemulimp couldn't hear it.
He could only take a deep look at Li Ge and say something.
"That's good." King Hemulinpu said: "As compensation, I will take you to the treasure house that the kingdom is proud of and let you pick a treasure there."
"In our country, not many people have this opportunity. Not even the royal family members have the opportunity to enter. Only those who have made great contributions and played a big role in the kingdom will be allowed to enter and select a treasure."
"For example, the Marquis Franzel you know, after she became a strategic magician, took the position of Marquis, and became the chief court magician, she got an opportunity to enter it."
"There is also the Zhenguan Sword Master who is currently guarding the border. He has worked hard and has been defending the country. He was also allowed to enter the treasure house once."
"Another strategic magician from our country has also entered the treasure house once, and the swordsman of the Borrei family, who is the leader of the Kingdom's Knights, has also entered the treasure house once."
"Except for them, there are no more than five people in the entire kingdom who can enter the treasure house."
Speaking of this, King Hemulimp's tone was full of incitement.
"If Sir Brighaut is willing to serve the kingdom, it is not impossible to enter again in the future."
These words are simply a drunkard's intention is not to drink.
"Really?" Li Ge seemed to not understand, and said with a faint smile: "In that case, I have to have a good experience."
"Then let's go." Seeing this, King Hemulinpu seemed to have no deep meaning and said, "I will take you there now."
After saying this, King Hemulinpu stood up from the throne, picked up the sword leaning on the side, and walked step by step in front of Li Ge.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, King Hemulimp struck the floor with his sword, causing a loud crash.
At this moment, the floor cracked.
Yes.
Under King Hemulimp's knock, the floor suddenly separated like a mechanism.
Li Ge and Hemulin Pu immediately fell down, completely losing their balance.
"...!"
Li Ge's eyes narrowed, and just when he was about to make a move, King Hemulinpu's voice came to his ears.
"Don't resist, just follow me."
King Hemulinpu opened his hand in front of Li Ge, indicating that he was also completely relaxed and would not make any resistance.
Staring at King Hemulinpu like this, Li Ge remained silent, but gave up taking action and let himself fall down.
This process did not last long.
When Li Ge and King Hemulinpu fell to a certain position, a burst of water vapor-like mist rose up and enveloped the two of them.
At this moment, Li Ge and King Hemulinpu stopped falling, as if they were floating in water, suspended in the mist.
After a while, Li Ge felt that he was moving.
"This is……?"
Li Ge looked around with a surprised expression.
The surroundings were filled with water vapor-like fog, making it difficult to see what was going on around them, let alone which direction they were moving.
Li Ge tried to use the transparent world, but found that the fog actually had the effect of hindering the five senses and blocking exploration.
Thanks to this, not only did Li Ge not see through the fog, he didn't even know which direction he was moving in. He could only float passively, like a leaf drifting with the current, losing his freedom.
"This is a magical substance called [Mist of Nothing], and the conditions for its formation are very harsh."
King Hemulinpu's voice reached Lige's ears again.
"It will take us to the treasure house. Don't resist, just wait quietly for a while."
Hearing this, Li Ge didn't nod or make a sound, and just waited in silence.
