Chapter 1568: Prince Julian
The Marquis of Kruth and the others all kept their mouths shut at the moment. They knew that the matter was exposed, and it was useless to beg for mercy, so they simply kept silent.
The king sent men to quickly take them into custody, including General Delang, who was under Jia Zhengjin's control, and a group of soldiers. At the same time, he ordered them to be tortured and tortured, and other comrades were found out, preparing to uproot the forces left behind by the queen.
As long as he can purge the remnants of the queen's power, he can truly control the country.
The interrogation was the responsibility of the generals, and the king looked Atticas up and down excitedly, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that he and the woman he loved, Juno, were carved out of the same mold.
In fact, he already knew that he had such a son, but because the political situation was still unstable, he didn't dare to take people back to his side.
Desperately purge all opposition forces, just to be able to bring back their mother and son as soon as possible.
Later, when he received the news of Juno's death, he was heartbroken, so he desperately wanted to get the child back to his side and do his best to protect him.
This time he was almost succeeded by the Marquis of Kros, and I feel scared when I think about it.
In addition to being happy, they are also very grateful to Jia Zhengjin.
Bringing Atticas and the "mercenaries" who escorted him to the palace, the king held his son's hand tightly and did not let go, for fear that he would fly, looked at Jia Zhengjin and said, "Your name is Martin Peyton?"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Jia Zhengjin replied indifferently, and then stretched out his hand to Tina and the others, "These are my companions." ”
"Thank you so much!" said the king, "I am Ogest, king of the kingdom of Normia, and Atticas is my son in exile. ”
"We already know that. ”
"It's a great achievement that you're able to get him back safely. Ogst said generously, "Say, I can give you whatever reward you want!"
"Your Majesty, they are mercenaries I have hired," Atticas said hurriedly, "and we have already agreed on the remuneration beforehand. ”
Jia Zhengjin originally wanted to ask for more gold coins when he saw that the king was so generous, but Atticas said this, which made him embarrassed to interject.
"Is it?" said the king, "what reward you promise them?
"This feeling is good!" Jia Zhengjin was overjoyed when he heard this, this king was indeed generous.
The king is also very trustworthy, and according to the remuneration negotiated between Jia Zhengjin and Atticas, including the compensation for the destruction of the gate and the deduction on Atticas's head, all of them are doubled into gold coins.
got double the commission, Jia Zhengjin was in a good mood.
"Alright, you can go back and rest first!" the king took Atticas's hand, looking quite excited, "Tomorrow I will send someone to the mercenary guild to give you an additional level of this mission." ”
"Can this thing be added?" Jia Zhengjin was a little surprised. The completion of tasks at different levels will be evaluated differently. The mercenary guild is based on the level of the tasks completed by the mercenaries as the basis for level promotion.
The king smiled slightly, but did not respond, but said indifferently, "Please, a few people, and I will give you another banquet tomorrow and thank you." But today, I'm going to put those hateful fellows on trial and talk to Atticas at the same time. ”
"It's okay!" Jia Zhengjin glanced at the king and Atticas with joy on their faces, and said in his heart that it was indeed rare for father and son to meet for the first time in more than 20 years, "Then we will retire first." ”
"Aren't we going to take on another mission from the Demon Canyon?" Tina whispered in his ear.
"No hurry!" Jia Zhengjin smiled indifferently, "Let's come on a long journey, and we're still on the road overnight, so take a good rest today." I'll talk about that tomorrow. ”
"Oh!" said Tina, who had said so, nodded without objection.
"Several, please!" the king's generals immediately came over and gestured to them politely, "If you haven't had a place to stay yet, I'll be responsible for arranging it." ”
"No, just take us to the hotel. Jia Zhengjin smiled, "The opened room hasn't been returned yet!"
The team turned to leave the palace, and as soon as they arrived at the door, a blonde young man with a relatively ordinary appearance, but exuding the aura of a superior person, greeted them.
Compared with Jia Zhengjin, this young man's hair is slightly lighter, and it is cut very short, a little longer than his head, which looks extraordinarily energetic. Under a bunch of sword eyebrows, the eyes are full of soft color, and the facial features are also very upright, which is the kind of appearance that is ordinary, but it looks very comfortable.
This man was dressed in a luxurious prince's costume, and he walked in a particularly imposing manner, and needless to guess that he must be the eldest prince.
Sure enough, the generals who brought Jia Zhengjin and them out immediately saluted respectfully when they saw the young man: "Your Royal Highness the Prince!"
"General Quinn, I heard that my brother has returned?"
"Yes!" the little prince is talking to His Majesty. Thanks to His Majesty's timely notification, and thanks to the protection of these mercenaries, the little prince is safe and sound. The Marquis of Crous, who attempted to murder the little prince, and the people involved were also captured!"
"Great!" the prince breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Jia Zhengjin and the others, "Thank you." Not only can I leave a title, but I will also thank you in the future. ”
"You're welcome, I'm Martin Payton, and as a mercenary, I naturally have to complete the mission successfully. These are my companions......" Jia Zhengjin indifferently introduced the team members, of course, they were all fake identities, and at the same time looked the prince up and down. He must be the one who issued the Demon Canyon mission, right?
"Martin Payton?" the prince thought for a moment, "Are you the one recommended by the Mercenary Guild?
"Exactly!"
"If you're here for Demon Canyon, why are you leaving now?"
"The king told us to come over tomorrow, and it just so happened that we were tired from the journey, so we should rest for the day. Jia Zhengjin shrugged.
"The situation is urgent, how can it be delayed?" said the prince urgently, "I am not to be told, I am Julian, the prince of Normia, who issued this mission. Although you may be really tired from coming from afar, can you talk to me about the mission of the Demon Canyon first? It just so happens that my younger brother has also returned safely, and my father can cooperate with the matter of the Demon Canyon with peace of mind. ”
"Is that so?" Jia Zhengjin glanced back at Tina and the others, who were not very happy, and they obviously felt that it was good to have a day off. After thinking about it for a moment, "Why don't I stay and discuss the task and let my companions go back and rest first?"
"It's fine!" Julian immediately agreed, "you are the main person in charge of this mission, and it is best to talk to you." As for your teammates, take a break when it's time to rest. ”
"Then so be it!" Jia Zhengjin looked back at Tina and the others, "I'll stay alone and talk about the mission." You go back to the hotel together to rest, or go out and have fun. But try to act together, you know?"
