Chapter Sixty-Nine: I've seen this kind of plot a hundred times in my previous life
Early the next morning, Liu Xianyu was woken up by a knock on the door, and when he opened the door with sleepy eyes, Liu Xianyu saw a gorgeously dressed man, followed by two guards.
[You are Liu Xianyu, right? 】
The man's attitude was a little arrogant, but Liu Xianyu didn't care.
[I'm here to take you into the palace.] 】
[You and your other companion, hurry up and wash up.] 】
After the man finished speaking, he walked straight in and sat down on the sofa, and the two guards were locked out of the door by him.
The sound of the door opening alarmed Emerald and them, and the door of the room opened, Emerald and Anaki quietly poked their heads out of the room, and Tachibana, who was in the same room with Ikatris, seemed to be out of interest and was still sleeping.
[That's good...... I also want to go to the palace. 】
Jade whispered to Liu Xianyu who was passing by.
Ten minutes later, Liu Xianyu and Ikatris, who had finished washing, came to the living room again, and the man looked at the two of them and said:
[Let's go, remember to talk less and see less, don't be deliberately pretentious.] 】
In this way, Liu Xianyu and Ikatris followed the man out of the hotel, and after going out, there were two carriages outside the door, and the man said to Liu Xianyu:
"You two sit in the car in the back.] 】
Liu Xianyu opened the door and walked up, and found that the inside of the carriage looked plain, and it didn't seem to be as luxurious as the general's carriage.
The carriage walked for half an hour before it came to a slow stop, and the door was opened from the outside.
[From here, you can only walk, follow me.] 】
The man in fancy clothes said to the two of them without looking back.
[What, it looks amazing. 】
Liu Xianyu muttered dissatisfiedly.
[Shhhh 】
Ikatris gestured to Liu Xianyu with a silent motion.
Along the way, the two of them followed the man and found that there were heavily armed soldiers everywhere, this palace was obviously much larger than the Spirit Clan Palace where Liu Xianyu grew up, and the three of them walked for ten minutes before they came to the front of a majestic palace.
A huge bird-shaped statue was erected at the main entrance of the palace, and this sculpture was the one they had seen not long ago, called the Red Crow, which was the totem of the East Country, symbolizing fire and rebirth.
Passing through the back of the sculpture is a splendid palace, each pillar is carved with delicate patterns, walking through about a dozen steps, a wide hall appeared in front of Liu Xianyu's eyes, the two sides of the hall were full of people, and there was a gorgeous seat in the innermost part of the hall, a man who looked to be in his forties was sitting on the seat, he was wearing exaggerated clothes printed with red black patterns, and a small handful of goatee on his chin was very delicately trimmed.
[Your Majesty the Emperor, this is the adventurer Liu Xianyu and Ikatris. 】
The man in the fancy dress bent down and saluted the emperor and spoke.
[I heard that the two of you stood up to protect innocent civilians in the attack that took place two days ago, and I think that's a commendable spirit.] 】
[Thank you for your compliment, this is what we should do as adventurers.] 】
After all, Liu Xianyu is a person who grew up next to the Queen of the Spirit Clan, and he can also have a comfortable conversation with the emperor of the East Country.
[Oh? It's a lot of fun, if only all adventurers thought like you. Come on, bring the stuff! 】
Liu Xianyu, who heard this, couldn't help but get excited, and he couldn't help but start looking forward to what the emperor would reward them.
As soon as the emperor's voice fell, two heavily armed guards walked in front of Liu Xianyu and Ikateris with large plates.
Inside Liu Xianyu's plate is a short sword inlaid with precious stones, at this distance, you can already feel the faint fluctuations coming from the top of the short sword, and after a little temptation, I found that this sword is very adaptable to the elements, not so much a short sword as a short sword-shaped staff. Inside Ikatris's plate was a silver sword and shield suit.
(Partner, this is an epic weapon for eight hundred!) )
The voice of the system sounded in Liu Xianyu's mind.
After speaking, the king no longer seemed to want to pay attention to Liu Xianyu and the two of them, and the two of them were taken to a side hall.
[This sword and shield...... It's already a rare high-quality weapon. 】
Ekatelis couldn't put it down and stroked the suit in her hand, and a little bit of the element could be reflected, only half of the original light element was needed to cast the same magic, and the sharpness of the knight's sword itself was nothing to say, which was a big equipment improvement for her.
Liu Xianyu didn't show the excitement of Ikatris, because although the nameless sword at his waist was inconspicuous, it was also an epic weapon, and at this moment, a man's voice came from the entrance of the side hall.
[Theris, it's you! 】
Ikatris, who was stroking the shield in her hand, heard the voice of someone calling out to her, raised her head to look at the person at the entrance of the side hall, and said in surprise:
[Uncle? 】
Liu Xianyu also turned his head to look at the door when he heard Ikateris's salutation.
A man in a gorgeous dress walked up to Ikatrius angrily, and the corners of the man's eyes looked somewhat similar to Ikatris.
[Why did you run to such a place to be an adventurer without saying a word!] 】
【…… It was only when my faith was tested that I came to this country to seek answers. 】
The man glanced at Liu Xianyu dissatisfiedly, as if complaining that Liu Xianyu had pulled Ikateris into the ranks of adventurers.
[Faith? Are those guys in the Goddess Cult teaching you to be an adventurer? 】
Liu Xianyu looked at the man carefully, he was about thirty years old, judging from his movements, he should not be at least a melee professional, but should it be said that it was a coincidence that he was able to meet Ikatris's relatives here?
[Since it is good to meet you here, come back to the mission with me now, and leave here together tomorrow, do you know that my sister has been thinking about you all these days, and we dare not tell her that you ran so far alone! 】
[Mother, she ......]
Ikatris wanted to refute something, but when she thought that she had done so without considering her mother's affairs, the child had gone to other countries without saying a word and had taken up the profession of an adventurer, and in any case according to her mother's character, she would have been worried.
[But I ......]
Ikatris couldn't let go of her mother, but she was also reluctant to let go of her fellow adventurers, who had never been with everyone in her previous life.
Ding Ding Ding Dong ~ New Mission: Stop this "wise" quarrel. Success Reward: 10 Protagonist Points
Defeat Penalty: Icathris will be away for a long time.
The appearance of the new mission made Liu Xianyu, who was watching from the sidelines, a little surprised, this time the mission reward and punishment were completely disproportionate, if it failed, it means that Ikatriis is really likely to be taken back to the West by the man in front of him, seeing Ikatris's speechless appearance Liu Xianyu knew that he had to say something.
[Uncle, I don't think it's necessary to force Theliss to make this choice. 】
[Little ghost, this is our family matter, I advise you not to intervene, otherwise I can put you in prison as long as I say a word. 】
The man looked at Liu Xianyu dissatisfied, in his eyes, Liu Xianyu was a poor sour boy who didn't know where to come from, this kind of person didn't know what luck he had before he was rewarded with a weapon by the king.
[Uncle, Hyunwoo is my friend, please respect him! ] 】
Ekateris, who is gentle by nature, can tolerate the injustice that befalls her, but she cannot bear the insults of her friends.
[Friends? This kind of adventurer who doesn't know where the poor country came from, it is because of the existence of this kind of person that you will do such a ridiculous thing! The daughter of the dignified Beonlett family turned into an adventurer chasing money? 】
The more the man saw Ikateris speaking for Liu Xianyu, the more angry he felt, and it was already a concession he made to see his sister's belief in the goddess religion by showing up outside as a priest.
[I understand your feelings, uncle, but this kind of thing really should respect Theris's own choice, otherwise even if you bring her back this time, she will still sneak out the next chance. 】
After listening to the man's words, Liu Xianyu was not angry at all, he had seen this kind of plot hundreds of times in the script of his previous life.
[Run out again? You do have a point, boy. 】
The man was stunned for a moment, and then said to Liu Xianyu.
[Look, so uncle, we have to solve the problem fundamentally, and the most important thing is to let Theris live the life she likes. 】
Liu Xianyu, while talking, thought in his heart that communication is the root of solving the problem.
