[In view of the good deeds performed by the two in this attack on His Highness, His Majesty the King has decided to honour them.] 】

Two hours after Liu Xianyu and Ikatris returned to their accommodation, Wen Yang came to the door.

[So what big people did you two meet on the street?] 】

【Dim Sum...... (chewing)】

Jade was lying on the sofa while eating the snacks brought back by the two of them, and said half-dead, while Tangerine was holding the pastry in both hands like a hamster, eating intently.

[At first, I thought it was the eldest young master of a rich family, but since I can call it His Royal Highness, it should be the prince.] 】

[By the way, why didn't you see Anaqi? 】

[When that guy woke up in the morning, he drank the half bottle of wine I put next to the bed as water in a daze, and he is still asleep. It's a pity that my half bottle of wine is obviously going to be kept for later. 】

Jade spread out on the sofa with a regretful expression.

Liu Xianyu listened to Jade's words, pushed open the door of Anaqi's house, and found that sure enough, the half bottle of wine that Jade held in her arms last night was only a bottom, looking at Anaqi, who was still half-asleep, Liu Xianyu turned around and walked out.

[Is it really okay for us adventurers to go inside the palace?] 】

To be honest, Liu Xianyu is reluctant to contact those nobles, because the higher his exposure rate, the more likely his identity will be exposed, and if he is recognized, he will definitely be forced back to Yongcui Forest.

[I'm afraid you have to go, it stands to reason that there is no need for a commendation like this, as long as you are rewarded with some money in private, but this time His Majesty specifically asked you to accept the commendation, I am afraid that he intends to use you as a model to encourage adventurers across the country. 】

Wen Yang's words are actually only general, why encourage adventurers? Most of the adventurers are chasing two things - fame and fortune, and every time they are encouraged, there must be something that the official inconvenience needs them to do.

[What about the money?] 】

Jade suddenly thought that since it was the king's commendation, it must be a rich reward.

[I don't know about this, presumably His Majesty the King will definitely have a reward.] 】

[I believe that someone will come to pick you up into the palace tomorrow morning, today because of the arrival of the envoy of the West Country, Your Majesty still has a lot of things to do, and His Royal Highness the Prince also took advantage of His Majesty's busyness to secretly run out of the palace with a token. 】

[Then meet the king tomorrow, do we have anything to pay attention to?] 】

Liu Xianyu remembered that when he was in the Spirit Clan before, those ministers had a whole set of troublesome audience actions when they saw the queen.

[These things should be told to you by the people who come to pick you up tomorrow morning, and I have only one suggestion is to talk less, and if you talk less, you will make fewer mistakes. 】

【O King...... I didn't expect to see the king one day. 】

Jade rolled back and forth on the couch excitedly.

[I heard that even the pillars in the palace are made of gold, so this reward must be indispensable, right?] 】

[That, Miss Jade......]

Wen Yang listened to Jade's words and suddenly interrupted her.

[What's wrong?] 】

Jade tilted her head to look at Wen Yang.

[This time, there were only two people who went to the palace to meet Liu Xianyu and Ikateris. 】

【What...... What the! 】

Emerald had an incredulous look on her face.

[We're a team! Why only the two of them? 】

Excited, Jade even squirted out the unfinished pastry residue in her mouth.

[Because only the two of them were present this time......]

Wen Yang leaned back silently.

[Isn't it?...... And I don't have my share of the bounty? Commendation also no? The king can't be seen either? 】

Jade asked Wen Yang on all fours lying on the sofa.

[Probably...... Not really. 】

Wen Yang seemed to be frightened by the momentum of the jade, and said with some uncertainty.

[Why don't you call me when you go out in the morning!] 】

Jade rolled down from the sofa and grabbed Liu Xianyu's collar.

[Because you have a hangover and can't wake up, who do you blame? 】

[Damn! Captain Stupid! You and Theris-chan embark on the road to success, this poor adventurous party can't accommodate you anymore! Stupid——]

[Meow? 】

Jade shouted as she picked up Tachibana, who was still eating pastry, and ran back to her room and closed the door.

[The relationship between your team members is really good......]

Wen Yang sighed with a complicated tone, probably thinking of his fallen teammates. He said goodbye to Liu Xianyu and Ikateris and left the inn.

[That...... Is it okay to Cuicui? 】

Ikatris looked at the closed door with some concern.

[Don't worry about her, just let it go for a while, she just wants a bounty, obviously she's made a lot of money recently.] 】

Liu Xianyu said to Ikateris easily.

[Actually...... No, it's okay. 】

Ikatris wanted to tell Liu Xianyu that Jade had been sending money to the orphanage, but she thought of Jadeite's previous advice and held back the words.

At dinner, sure enough, Jade had returned to normal, and a table of five people sat in the living room of the room eating a sumptuous dinner provided by the hotel, and several people were talking about Liu Xianyu and Ikatris going to meet the emperor tomorrow.

[Emperor? Can I eat it? 】

Tangerine looked at Jade with an envious expression and asked curiously.

[It's not food, it's a person, the greatest person in the whole country.] 】

Jade opened her mouth to explain to Tachibana.

[Oh~ That's as powerful as the big chief. 】

Tachibana said as she ate.

[Captain Hyunwoo ......]

Anaqi, who had been hangover all day, cowered and shouted Liu Xianyu.

[What's wrong?] 】

Liu Xianyu found that it had been a long time, but Anaqi always showed this kind of appearance when facing herself, but it was normal to behave when facing Jade and others.

(That's because your image in her heart has been established as a ghost animal shaker, as a shaker m, she can barely maintain it in the face of ordinary people, once she sees you, she will completely expose her nature, well-as the so-called extreme must be the opposite, the more normal she remains in front of others, the more abnormal she behaves in front of you.) ）

The system seemed to have heard Liu Xianyu's inner monologue and suddenly explained.

(Thank you very much for explaining.) Then again, I see that your sense of presence seems to be getting weaker and weaker, and you don't have any other use for it other than to come out and complain once in a while? If you continue like this, the system settings may be forgotten. ）

(This is also something that can't be helped, as the most important part of the system, the prize exchange is not useful, what can I do, besides, foreshadowing like me will definitely come in handy at the critical moment!) ）

The system's voice was filled with a kind of confidence in it.

[Ah~ ignoring play or something in front of everyone...... Ghost animals. 】

Anaqi's voice pulled Liu Xianyu back from his distraction, and after a few words with the system, he came back to his senses and found that Anaqi began to wriggle on the stool with a red face again.

[I'm sorry, I'm distracted, Anaqi, what did you just say? 】

Liu Xianyu asked Anaqi again.

[Anaqi-chan just said that she wanted to go to the weapon shop tomorrow to customize armor, but she didn't have the money, so she planned to borrow money from you, how bad is your guy to make people say this kind of thing twice. 】

Jade held her forehead and legs, and Liu Xianyu said.

【…… It's no problem to lend you money, and I've made a lot of money lately, and I might even get a big reward tomorrow. How much? 】

[If you have a deposit, five silver coins should be enough, and the balance can be given when the production is completed.] 】

After Liu Xianyu listened, he opened the full frog, took out ten silver coins from it, and handed it to Anaqi.

[Speaking of which...... These two things haven't been dealt with yet. 】

Liu Xianyu took out the Taidao and the Golden Eagle Emblem that had been in the backpack, thought about it for a while, and then put the crest back, and took the Taidao in his hand and stroked it twice.

[Ah...... You haven't sold that knife yet? 】

Jade glanced at the knife in Liu Xianyu's hand.

[Because it looks handsome, but it's really hard to master, and this length alone is a problem, let alone such a thin blade.] 】

After trying it, Liu Xianyu threw the knife to Anaqi.

[Sell it tomorrow when you pass by the market.] 】

To explain, there is no sense of discord between the Chinese name and the country of Higashi, so only the country of Higashi is called the emperor, and the rest are all called kings.
