6. Within the royal palace

King York IV was nearly half a hundred years old, and he continued to sit on his throne for a long time after everyone had left after he had discussed state affairs with his ministers at court meetings, and his children came looking for him.

York IV succeeded to the throne at a young age, his father died of a sudden illness, so he sat on the throne in the first few years, and in the first few years he was busy with various political struggles to secure his throne, and by the time he had completely calmed down the political situation, and none of the Manchu courtiers dared to disagree, it had been ten years.

That year, he was ambitious and decided to make the country the most powerful kingdom in the world, but in a blink of an eye, the Demon King was born and shattered all his illusions.

The Demon King led the monster army to sweep the world, and countless kingdoms were destroyed in an instant, although the Demon King's army was still half a continent away from his country at that time, but seeing the power of the Demon King sweeping the world, York IV also decisively sent an army to join the joint force to resist the Demon King.

Everyone thought that the Demon King could not be the opponent of all the countries in the whole world, but the Demon King easily broke their minds, and although the offensive slowed down, he still moved forward, slowly dragging the entire continent into the quagmire of war.

Today, there are only three countries left on the continent, which originally consisted of more than 30 countries.

King York IV could not help but think of this fact when he sat on the throne after his daily deliberations.

"Will I be the last king of this country?" Whenever this thought came to mind, he couldn't help but shudder, once full of ambition in the face of reality only left humble expectations, every week the battle reports from the front line are constantly squeezing his endurance, hitting his confidence and pride, "at least hold on to my son, no, my grandson's generation......

"Brave, is it really useful? It's been three years, and there is still no news, and it is really irresponsible to pin the future of the whole world on one person......" His Majesty the King today is not ready to continue thinking, he feels that his energy has been exhausted little by little in this long war, and he can clearly feel that he is old.

"Perhaps, I have abdicated instead. ”

Thinking so, York IV stood up and was about to leave the main hall when the guards came in and announced: "Lord Andri, Chancellor of the Exchequer, has asked to see Your Majesty." ”

"I'm afraid I'm here to cry poor again. Thinking about the current state of the treasury, York IV sighed and frowned and asked the guards to call him in, although he was not at all willing to talk about these troubles, many things are not something that will disappear if you don't talk about it.

King York IV was waiting and thinking about what to do with the already empty treasury, and before Andry could speak, he saw Andriy saluting and shouting, "Your Majesty, I have come to give you good news!"

"Where does the joy come from?" is a happy event for the current York IV, as long as Andriy does not ask about financial issues.

"Your Majesty, I just saw the Brave Man on the road, and I hurried back to report to you, isn't it a happy event?"

"The Brave is back, you can't be mistaken, are you?Since he's back, why didn't he come to see me directly?" Hearing that the Brave Man had returned, York IV had a hint of the Demon King's defeat in his heart, but he immediately put this thought behind him, and the long period of three years had already made him no longer expect this fantasy, and he felt that it was more likely that Andriy was wrong.

"It's really Your Majesty, I also had a few words with the Brave Man. The temper of the brave man is still the same as before, showing no mercy. Andriy Art processed the content of his conversation with the Brave in order to convince His Majesty the King, "And I saw the Demon King's horn in the Brave Man's hand! Although I have not seen the Demon King, I have also seen the appearance of the Demon King in the image recorded in the Demon Shadow Stone transmitted from the front line, and I am very sure that the Demon King's horn is in the Brave Man's hand! The Demon King must have been defeated by the Brave Man, so he can get the Demon King's horn." Your Majesty, isn't it a happy event that the Demon King has been defeated?"

The horns of the Demon King are different from those of any beast, and their biggest difference is not in the shape but in the luster. Because of the huge magic power contained in the horns of the Demon King, there is always a layer of fluorescent flow on the horns, and you can tell at a glance that they are not mortal, and I have never heard of anyone using anything to create a fake Demon King Horn, so you can not worry about seeing a fake Demon King Horn.

"Yes, is it true?" "York IV's heart swayed for a moment, and he stood up suddenly, but he almost didn't stand firmly, and he held the throne with his hands to maintain stability, "Where did the brave man go, why didn't he come to see me?"

"I see the direction of the Brave Man going to the Great Sage's Magic Tower, maybe the Brave Man left a hidden illness after the bloody battle with the Demon King, so he went to the Great Sage for treatment? The Brave Man left in a hurry, and he didn't tell me the specific reason, but I see that the Brave Lord is dirty and messy, like a beggar and a wanderer, and even if I don't think of it, it should be not much worse. Andriy was talking to York IV at this time, and he didn't have the resentment he had when he saw the brave man before, but more like an acquaintance with the brave man but not a deep acquaintance, and there was no bad word at all.

"Also, after all, he is a demon king, and even if the brave has the help of the Excalibur Duvaranca, it is very difficult to get unharmed. It's just that although the Great Sage is powerful, he doesn't specialize in healing magic after all, so why doesn't he go to the Holy Maiden?" York IV thought to himself in a low voice, "Maybe he also felt guilty about sweeping the face of the Holy Maiden in front of all the believers three years ago, so he was embarrassed to go?"

"The brave have all come back first, why hasn't the front line sent intelligence officers back to report the situation? Could it be that after losing the control of the demon king, the monsters on the front line have gone violent, which has worsened the situation, and there are no more people to report the news?"

"Does the brave man have anything else to do to find the Great Sage?For example, his apprentice on the front line died in battle?Can the Great Sage stand it when he hears the news......

Although it was undoubtedly good news that the brave man had killed the Demon King, York IV had become accustomed to hearing bad news every time, and this long-standing habit made him can't help but think in a bad direction even when he heard such good news.

While York IV was thinking, Andriy just stood quietly waiting for His Majesty to come to his senses, and a few years of political career had made him no longer the gentleman he once was, he had enough city and wisdom and patience.
