Chapter 007: The Grand Duke of the Imperial Palace
Standing in such a place for the first time in his life, Achilles held Yang Jiangong's hand tightly, and he turned a pair of dark eyes, constantly turning back and forth in the room.
With the strength of your hands, tell Achilles not to be nervous. In Yang Jiangong's eyes, this room made him feel warm and tidy like never before. Centered on the desk, there are many wooden shelves full of scrolls and books, as well as a lot of exquisite furniture.
There was a red blanket on the ground beneath his feet, a curtain hanging from the beams, and everything was neatly arranged. The fire burned in the huge fireplace next to it, and in a crackling sound, the room was filled with warmth and the smell of wood was good.
"This is the bearer of the Dragon's Badge, Loel Cardin...... The King. ”
After listening to Edmund's report, and looking down at the badge on the table, for a moment, he was amazed at the disturbed young duke who was standing behind the wooden table.
When he stood up and walked around the table, he could be seen to have a straight figure and a very broad and strong chest.
"This badge is truly a dragon badge. But can you believe it? Edmund! Remember the ancient Lol Cardin prophecy? ”
The young duke and the knight of Leon looked at each other, and they read disbelief into each other's eyes.
The handsome Duke took a piping hot flask from the fire rack and filled a silver cup with a hollow pattern of fragrant liquid. He squinted his eyes and took a deep breath, stood there and looked down, glanced at Achilles, and finally fixed his gaze on Yang Jiangong's face.
In fact, there was a slight gap, and even Yang Jiangong felt that there seemed to be something about his appearance that made him particularly curious.
"Well, you have the black eyes of a Lol Cardan, but you also have black hair. Such an appearance is very much in line with the characteristics of the gods described in the legends. ”
Gradually, the Duke's face brightened, and his smile grew bigger and bigger, and at last he burst out laughing. "Hehe, Edmund, apart from that, his appearance is a far cry from the appearance of the legendary King of Lolcadin, the Radiant the Great, the Minotaur, don't you say? With the glory of the dragon on top, who would believe that the stubborn Lolcadan people, the self-proclaimed descendants of the Empire, would do such a dishonorable thing to deceive us? ”
"This ......" No matter what he thought in his heart, the Silver Dragon Knight standing on the side was silent, he knew that this was not the place for him to interject casually.
Of course, Prince Behringer, who was the fourth among the princes of the Camelot Kingdom and was canonized as the Duke of the Imperial Crown at a young age, did not expect to be judged by a mere silver dragon knight.
"Hey, boy, you don't have a name, in the Savage Lands. What do they call you? Could it be that I really worship you and call you the Radiant Emperor? You know, even old Bahrain did not dare to use this badge. In the record, it represents the mark of the Protoss. ”
The tone of the young duke in front of him did not give Yang Jiangong much favor. And Yang Jiangong's gradually downward gaze was also from beginning to end, only staring at the 'dragon Teng' logo on the belt buckle in front of him, a giant dragon with open wings, the color changed with the swaying fire in the fireplace, once brass, then golden, and then red.
"You can call me a kid and take it by my name for the time being." Yang Jiangong stroked Achilles's head and responded to the other party in such a tone. In fact, before entering this fortress, Yang Jiangong knew that the trip would not be smooth sailing.
At the moment when His Royal Highness Behringer's face froze, the corners of the Silver Dragon Knight Edmund's resolute mouth outlined a trace of arc, in his impression, this was the first time that the dignified Grand Duke of the Imperial Front had hit a wall. He held back and hid a smile that was about to emerge from his muscles.
"Lorkadan, who holds the Dragon's Emblem, no matter what your intentions are, it is best not to offend the Royal Duke of the Carmellot Kingdom. The Duke is also His Royal Highness the Prince of the Kingdom of Carmellot. ”
Edmund, the Silver Dragon Knight, reminded Yang Jiangong that he did not seem to agree with Yang Jiangong's identity as the Radiant Emperor from his tone.
However, being taunted by the 'King of Lorkadan', Prince Behringer's face was only a touch of embarrassment, and that look quickly faded after a while.
He suddenly realized that the person who could break into the fortress alone with the 'dragon teng' in his hand was not a character to be ridiculed and despised in any way. Prince Behringer put down the empty wine glass in his hand and stared into Yang Jiangong's eyes, compared to the glimpse just now, there was a different look in his eyes.
Prince Behringer immediately straightened his face and officially introduced himself, "I am the former Duke and Fourth Prince Bellinger of the Kingdom of Carmellot. Behringer Buster. Towards the end of the Border Patrol mission, you can meet the Lol Cardin. ”
Prince Behringer looked 'apologetic' and lowered his head, and Yang Jiangong nodded in response.
"Hmm-"
Then Prince Bellinger hesitated for a moment, and his tone became a little meaningful, "The people of Lorkadan are descendants of the ancient empire, and according to the code of the Kingdom of Carmellot, they deserve the respect of the nobles of every kingdom. So, when you come to the Ice Fortress, please tell us anything about it. Before that, though......"
At this time, Prince Behringer glanced back at the corner of the table, and he deliberately avoided Yang Jiangong's gaze, "I am the former Duke of the Camelot Kingdom, and I believe that I can meet most of your requirements." Whether it's for food, for trade, or even for weapons, I'll satisfy you. It's not free, though, and you'll have to leave that badge in return. ”
If it's just a badge, it can buy a living space for the people of Lol Cardin.
Either way, it's a good deal.
However, in order to occupy a place in the Kingdom of Camelot, not just be treated as a refugee, and always be on guard against being suppressed. Yang Jiangong had to stay alone with the former duke for a while.
Seeing that Yang Jiangong was about to speak and stopped, Prince Behringer motioned to the Silver Dragon Knight Edmund to step back temporarily.
Speaking of which, as a knight of great strength, he is not afraid to be alone with anyone. What's more, on their own territory, the other party does not carry weapons.
Edmund, the silver dragon knight, walked out of the room.
"Now, you can say it. Hmm-think about my terms, great 'King of Lol Cardin'. ”
Prince Bellinger returned to his desk and waited while carefully observing the dragon emblem on his desk.
In addition, to his right hand, there is a cross-sword inlaid with red gemstones.
