A few days later, the crowd hurried out of Hury.

Unlike the oppressive and dreary Prison City on the border, Huri is peaceful inside. People dressed up and dressed up to haggle with vendors, or dressed in military uniforms and fought freely in the rings in the square. In this city, there are men and women, and everyone has a weapon at their waist, and if they collide with anyone in the street, they will pull another Witness and go to the ring to duel it.

Hughley City, a city like no other, free and strong.

Takales looked at the ring and asked Lup, "Will there be a master in the ring challenge?" ”

"Sometimes." Lub said, "There are dozens of mercenary groups in Huley City, and because of Gregory's martial folk customs, there are often conflicts between mercenary groups, and the solution is that the two sides send the warriors of the mercenary group to the ring to fight alone, and win two out of three games, and the losing side must not only apologize, but also do something for the winning side." ”

"It's really interesting, I'll definitely try it in this ring when I have time." Takales said, "Alright, let's go and complete the gold quest before going to the palace." ”

Filsey said, "Good. ”

A few people were about to enter the city of Hury, but Lubu stopped and didn't leave.

Lub said, "Let's separate here." ”

"Are you really not going to visit Ludre with us?" You're probably the one who wants to know most about him. ”

"I can't meet him." Lub straightened his back and looked in the direction of the palace, "Ludre, please." ”

Lub was resolute, and Takales and the others were not easy to force, so they asked Lub to find an inn to stay in first, and then come and meet Lub when they were done.

The task of escorting the gems was quickly completed, and Takales and the others registered with the local mercenary guild to receive a new mission by the way.

The new task was to deliver something to one of the palace guards, and Tacales immediately accepted it as soon as he saw that the task was on the way.

Different from the lavish and exquisite beauty of Alec City Palace, Huri City Palace has a kind of wildness and boldness. In the east, west, north and south corners of the palace, swords, daggers, shields and horses are carved respectively, which represent the ability of the people of Gregory to fight and fight. They are never afraid of any strong enemy, because every one of them is a warrior!

"I love the royal palace in Huree. ”

Xia Zuo lazily lay behind Filsie and said, "Captain, if you like, let Filsey build you a similar style building on his island." ”

Takales said abruptly, "It's not that exaggerated. ”

"Alright." Filsi knocked on Xia Zuo's head, "Let's slowly admire the Imperial Palace of Huri City in the future, Lubu must be in a hurry." ”

Xia Zuo said, "Yes, let's go." ”

Takales spoke to the guard guarding the door, showed his mission card and mercenary card, and the guard called the guard who was going to receive the items. The guard thanked him, signed the character card, and completed another mission. Afterwards, Tacales made his own request, which was to enter the palace and meet His Majesty Ludley of the Gregory Kingdom.

The guard said, "Your Majesty is not something you can see if you want to. ”

Takales said, "Can you help with the briefing?" Let's just say that we are the White Lion Mercenary Group, and I believe that His Majesty will be very willing to meet us. ”

Takales stared at the guard as he spoke, his eyes full of sincerity, and the guard blushed, nodded and trotted to inform Ludley.

Xia Zuo shook his head, "This is terrible, Firsey is still beside him, and the head of the regiment is eyebrow with other people." My poor Fircy, you are in love with a big carrot. ”

"It's a good thing that the regimental commander is making the most of his own resources," Filsi said. ”

Xia Zuo said, "You're too much towards him." ”

Filsey said, "Who made his face my favorite one." ”

Tacales smiled, his blonde hair glowing in the sunlight.

Sure enough, after hearing the name of the White Lion Mercenary Regiment, Ludre asked the guards to quickly invite Takales and his party into the palace and invite them to talk in the study.

The guards took Tacales to their destination, found a topic to talk to Tacales, and then ran away satisfied.

Ludley's study was large, more like a library than a study.

The three walls of the study are lined with bookcases, which are stuffed with trees, and the variety of books is all-encompassing. As soon as you enter the door, you can smell the ink on the paper of the book.

In the middle of the study there was a table, on which was a lamp, and the man shrouded in the warm light was as pale as paper, but his eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky, and this person was none other than Ludley.

Ludley was reading a book, and he was so engrossed in reading that he didn't even notice when someone came up to him. He is immersed in the world of books, where ideas and innovations collide with each other, bringing him a sense of supreme pleasure.

Takales whispered, "His Majesty Ludre." ”

Ludley did not respond.

Takales raised his voice and said, "Your Majesty Ludre, I am Takales of the White Lion Mercenary Regiment. ”

Hearing the words "White Lion Mercenary Regiment", Ludley immediately detached from the world of the book, his gaze swept over Takales, Filsi and Xia Zuo one by one, and a faint disappointment flashed on his face.

Ludley bounced his spirits and said with a smile: "Friends from afar, welcome. ”

Shazo rose from behind Takales, looked Ludley up and down, and said, "You and Lub really don't look like brothers. ”

Lubu was cold and stern, Ludre was gentle, one was like ice and the other was like water, and Xia Zuo really couldn't find another similarity except for the same pale complexion.

"Father said the same." Ludley raised a slight smile, "Lub is like a sharp sword, moving forward, no setbacks can defeat him, no baggage can stumble him." He paused and asked, "Is Lub in Huree?" ”

No one answered Ludley, and he didn't seem to need an answer, but muttered, "Whether he comes back or not, he won't see me." There was a sadness in his tone, "Who made Lub a man who would do what he said?" ”

Takales and his party didn't know how to answer.

In the White Lion mercenary group, it has always been Filsi, a good talker, who is in charge of diplomacy, and Takales, as the head of the group, only needs to stand beside him beautifully.

"Ludley," said Filsey, "you must know that although Lub does not come to see you, he cares for you more than anyone else. Although I don't know exactly what happened between you, he made a vow not to see you again, but I believe that the rumors of the people are not accurate. Lub is worried about you, and we're here to visit you and bring reliable news to Lub. ”

"Reliable information? Didn't he always advocate that seeing is believing, and hearing is false? How could he get reliable information if he didn't come in person? Ludley returned to his seat, sat down on the back of his chair, covered his legs with a blanket like a lazy cat, and said, "Tell me that I will not live for a few days, and perhaps die in less than a month." ”

Filsey frowned, "Ludley, may I take the liberty of asking what illness you have?" ”

Ludley said, "Heart disease. ”

As if to verify Ludley's words, he suddenly coughed, his hands clenched into fists against his mouth, maintaining the dignity of a royal family, and as he gasped for breath to finish coughing, bright red blood oozed from between his fingers—it was the blood he had vomited.

Ludley wiped the blood from his hands and the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief absentmindedly, and smiled gently: "Look, I'm dying, you tell Lub to rest assured, it won't be long before he wants to see me and I won't be able to see me." ”

Filsi looked at Ludre's face, and there was a dead air in the ashes, and it really seemed that his life was not long in coming.

"I'll have Lub wanted out of his place, and he'll be free from then on." Ludley made a "please" gesture, "You've all seen me, if nothing else, please take your leave, I still have a lot of state affairs to deal with." ”

Now that Ludley had opened his mouth to drive away the guests, and the three of Tacales would not stay any longer, Filsey said, "Your Majesty, Ludre, take your leave." ”

Ludley rested his cheek in one hand and read the file with a pen in the other, and only waved his hand as a farewell to them.

Lubu's inn is very remote and desolate on the border of Hugh Lee, and is usually a temporary stay or rest for pedestrians who are in a hurry. However, the interior decoration of the hotel is passable, and it is not so bad that it looks like a dangerous building.

Lubu covered his face with his hood and leaned against the door of the inn, and when the three of Tacales returned, he instantly raised his head, and his usually cold face had an expectant expression.

Along the way, Takales pondered how to euphemistically convey the sad news of Ludre's death to Lub, and according to his observations, Ludre's status in Ludray's heart was extremely high, and if Ludre was really dead, Lub would probably be very sad and sad. But after thinking about it, he couldn't think of anything that could alleviate Lub's pain, so he chose to tell the truth.

"Lub, we've seen Ludre," said Tacales. ”

Lub asked, "Is he okay?" ”

"It's not good, he has a very bad complexion, he is very unenergetic, and he is coughing up blood." Tacales sighed, "You have to be mentally prepared, maybe Ludre is dying." ”

"Impossible." Lub said flatly, "Ludley didn't die that easily. ”

"He said he had a heart disease, and although I don't know much about pathology, heart disease is really incurable, you ...... Lub, Ludley really wants to see you, are you really not going to meet him? ”

Lub said, "I can't see him." ”

Filsey said, "Lub, is your principle more important or is Ludley more important?" His greatest wish is to see you, do you want him to die with regret? ”

Xia Zuo said: "Yes, in this case, Ludley is too pitiful, he is your brother anyway, and Ludley has canceled your wanted warrants." ”

"It's because he's the most important person that I can't see him!" Lub rudely interrupted the trio's persuasion and walked away.
