106 Departure (3)
An old carriage was rented from the inn, and the two were on their way to the Imperial City, where Old Man Roque told Lance more information about the country, especially the king of the country. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
After a few hours in a carriage, they reached their destination.
Entering the Imperial City of Remy Rabel, unlike Karanslan and Gainrut, the exterior walls of each building here are carved with murals of Terrans fighting large monsters with one hand.
The murals are so realistic that the characters in the paintings on the walls seem to jump out and come to life at any moment.
"It's surprising that when I came here 10 years ago, I didn't see any of these things. ”
"There are all of them, and the walls outside the palace will be more exaggerated, right?"
The architectural style here is very fierce, and it is also the greatest feature of the kingdom of Remira Belel.
Every time he walked through a house, Lance looked very closely, as if he wanted to imprint everything in his mind.
"Don't swallow slowly!" Old Man Roque had already walked far ahead at some point, and turned his head to find Lance far behind.
"Can you go a little slower?" Although he knew that time was pressing, Lance felt that he would not have another chance to reach the country, so he wanted to see more.
"Yes, if you give up on her, in exchange, I will take not only your life, but the lives of everyone in your entire family. ”
"I was wrong, I was just joking!
Lance hurriedly shouted at Roque, and quickly quickened his pace, and at this moment, a thin figure rushed in front of Lance.
"This gentleman, fight me!"
"I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry!"
"Don't go, you can make any conditions, I will agree, I am a very talkative person. "The other party is a very dark-skinned teenager, but his eyes are very bright.
"I'm sorry, I don't have a sword, let's talk about it next time!"
"I have, this is for you, do you think it's okay?"
Lance saw that Roque had gone completely, and if he delayed any longer, he would lose his sight.
"I'm really in a hurry!"
"Okay, okay, I need to swap clothes with you, if you can do me a favor!"
"No need to change clothes, I'll give it to you directly. ”
Lance took off his coat and threw it directly to the other party, and then hurriedly ran up.
The boy grabbed Lance's coat and immediately smiled.
"It's okay, it's okay, I met a fool who didn't have to fight, I thought I could finish this guy in five minutes, but now I saved those five minutes. I've created so many obstacles over there, I'm afraid it will take them fifteen minutes to find me, so I'll have to change my outfit quickly!"
It took Lance some effort to keep up with Roque, and it wasn't long before they were at the palace.
Roque pulled out an old iron plate and handed it to the palace guards.
"Tell the King that Roque Swider is coming. ”
While waiting, Roque turned to look at Lance, "I don't want this to happen again, what about your clothes?"
"There was a hiccup just now. "It's a bit of a hassle to explain, so Lance doesn't mention it.
Although the time was very tight, Lance still had plenty of time, and it only took them half a day to come here, and after meeting with the king, they believed that they would be able to enter the country of Qiandu before tomorrow. Then, minus one day back, they had three more days to find Christie.
Roque roughly estimated what was going on, and reminded again: "Don't promise to have a duel with the people here." ”
The dutiful guard soon brought the news, and the guard said respectfully to Roque, "The king is waiting for you inside, please come with me." ”
Entering the palace, Lance followed, witnessing even larger frescoes along the way, which were battles between people. A large amount of red and blue paint was used in the mural, and hundreds or even thousands of red people and blue people fought in a scuffle, and the number of the two sides was the same, and the battle was extremely fierce. Lance felt that it was very real, and the mural stretched all the way down, at least a few hundred meters long, which must have been the result of a real war to paint such a real mural.
"This mural is a real history of the kingdom of Remirabel. The guard who led the way was fascinated by Lance's gaze, and made an introduction by the way.
"There is a famous war in the history of this country, if you are interested, we will learn about it later. ”
After walking for nearly twenty minutes, the guards who led the way stopped at a palatial gate and said to them, "The king is inside." ”
There were statues of some kind of monster on either side of the gate, and Lance took a look at it and walked in after Roque.
Upon entering, a burly man appeared in his field of vision, and Lance saw him bend down and throw out a knight in armor, who flew from the air in an invisible arc towards the door like a casually thrown garbage, and landed right at the feet of Old Man Roque.
"It's been a long time, do you like to welcome me with such enthusiasm?"
Roque glanced down at the knight, it seemed that he couldn't stand up for a moment, the old man Roque had no need to be a good man, not to mention blocking his way, the old man stepped directly over the knight.
"Roque, if I'm not mistaken, we haven't seen each other for ten years, and I usually write to you to come over as a guest, but you refuse, why are you running this way now?" The man stood up straight and looked directly at Roque. Lance jumped over the knight on the ground, and found that the man was taller than he had imagined, his head almost touching the ceiling, and he was at least two meters tall, like a giant.
The giant glanced at Lance, "And brought a little follower, is this your new disciple?
"You guessed wrong, my disciple is not here, I haven't seen you for ten years, and you haven't changed much from before, except for ...... You left a bald head. Roque looked up and looked directly at the other man's head, which was bare, and not a single hair could be found.
"Hair is in the way. ”
The giant beckoned Roark to sit down, and there was a row of seats next to him.
Roque was not polite to him, even if it was the king of the country, and after sitting down, he ended his cold words and got to business.
"I'm here, please do me a favor, I want to get to Qiandu as soon as possible, and I want to borrow the teleportation array behind the palace. ”
"Teleportation array, Roque, tell me why I'm doing this. ”
"With this brand, we can be considered to have some friendship. Roque pulled out the sign he had shown to the guards when he entered the palace.
"It's not that easy, I have to charge something that can be called a return. The king giant said, "Without further ado, I will give you two choices, first, defeat me, and second, help me solve one thing." ”
"I choose the second one, win or lose, I don't want to fight you, reluctantly, it's the same draw as it was then. ”
"Hahaha, you think you're not as good as me? You didn't win against me at the beginning, it was a tie, and now you're afraid of losing to me? To be honest, my strength has increased a lot in the past ten years. ”
Roque didn't refute, his expression was a little helpless: "I'm old, even if my strength is stronger than that of ordinary old people, but over the years, I have gradually felt that my physical strength is not as good as before. Even if I could, I would like to take over your rule here. ”
The other party's face showed a little regret, "The fight with you that year, after that, I have never met an opponent like you." ”
"I don't want to fall apart with all my old bones. "The king in front of him is a natural warrior, his body and strength are dozens or even hundreds of times stronger than ordinary people, in that duel ten years ago, he did not lose or win, but his mind was more serious than the physical blow.
It can be said that if there are four such kings at the same time, in the face of the dragon, as long as they concentrate their strength, it is very likely that they will be able to tear the entire dragon apart.
"Okay, now I'll tell you the second option, there has always been an underground force in the Kingdom of Remira Bell, called the Thieves Association, the people of this association are very strange, they specialize in taking in the weak to oppose us, this association is an organization established in the past few years. ”
The king said, "Just as you entered, a thief who had sneaked into the palace and stole one of my most common weapons, and the next week I was challenged by a warrior, a good warrior chosen from among the people. Without that weapon, I wouldn't be used to it. ”
"Are you still using a hammer?"
"Of course, that's a weapon of strength!"
"You need us to help you find that thief, how is he dressed?"
"He is very cunning, I sent a lot of people out and still got no good news, the only news I brought back is that he escaped, and almost all of my men are trapped. ”
"It doesn't seem that easy. ”
"If it were that easy, I wouldn't make this a condition. The king continued: "The thief was a teenager, very dark-skinned, and dressed in very ordinary clothes. ”
Hearing this, Lance suddenly remembered the boy he had met on the street.
"Dear King, I think I may have seen the thief. ”
******
What happened next went well, and according to the information provided by Lance, the young man who stole the king's weapon was wearing Lance's clothes.
In less than twenty minutes, the king's re-sent men immediately captured the boy.
Neither Roque nor Lance had any intention of getting involved in the country's internal affairs, let alone the Thieves' Guild.
The king was overjoyed to find his beloved weapon.
The thief prepared for a month, figured out every escape route on the street, and spent more than half a month laying out all kinds of hidden traps. Roque, if you have time, come and help me and root everything in this association. ”
"If I still need your help with something, I'll be back again. ”
Standing in front of the teleportation magic array, Roque said a brief goodbye to the king.
"Hope to see you again next time. ”
"Goodbye. ”
The king of Remirabel seemed to be very talkative, like a king without scheming, but all this was based on the premise that Old Man Roque did not do anything against him, let alone touch his interests, and put on a posture. Moreover, if it weren't for that battle ten years ago, even if there was a dying weak man calling for help in front of him, he would not even look at it.
