CH.09 No

Quasimodo nodded, and casually unleashed a teleportation spell, disappearing with Anrui and teleporting into the forest.

Over the past year, the backbone members of the Overlord Chamber of Commerce have improved in strength, and Quasimodo is of course no exception, he is now able to use magic to the point where he can send and receive it freely, and he can be called the pinnacle of spatial magic.

With the help of spatial magic, the two of them made their way through the black woods, encountering many elves who inhabited the country along the way. The country of Hesse, like the country of Aoki, is a country of elves, and most of the inhabitants of the country are elves, with only a few outsiders.

There are many trees here and the terrain is complex, which has a lot of influence on spatial magic, but it is not as convenient as the open land. It took a lot of effort for An Rui and the others to reach the deepest part of the forest, where the palace is located.

The royal palace of the country of Hesse is made of trees, and it is a special wooden palace, which is not very high, but covers a large area.

There is no need to hide your whereabouts when you come here, Quasimodo disables his magic, and the two of them walk out of the spatial vortex and stand in front of the wooden palace gate.

The sound of tightening bowstrings immediately sounded around them, and many guards aimed their arrows at Anrui and the two, and several druids also controlled the plants, and the flowers and trees moved together, ready to attack.

"Who are you, and why did you break into the palace of the land of Hesse? This is a forbidden place, and outsiders are strictly forbidden to trespass. One of the leaders of the guards shouted.

"Speak for me to your king, and say that the king of the Nova Empire is coming. Let him bring someone over to greet him, and make it lively. Anrui reported himself to his home and made his own request. He's not the same as he used to be. He has to pay attention to pomp everywhere, and if he is treated slowly, the entire Nova Empire will be disgraced, and this is not his own business.

There are many people who are unheard of and don't know about the Nova Empire, but the word king is enough to win people's respect, and An Rui and the two are extraordinary at first glance, not ordinary people. The guards did not dare to slack off. Someone immediately turned around and entered the palace to report the news.

The guards did not dare to let their guard down, and were still aiming their bows and arrows at An Rui and the others. Ling Anrui was a little angry, and endured it without having a seizure. He knows that he is too murderous now, so he usually deliberately suppresses it, and tries to solve problems peacefully when he encounters them. If you can do without violence, you don't need violence.

With his current strength, if he starts. It's not as simple as a few people dying.

After a while, the gates of the palace opened again, and a group of centaurs walked out of it, led by an unusually tall middle-aged elf.

Most of the elves are tall and slender, and the average height is very tall, and this elf is much taller than most of the elves, and there is a feeling of standing out from the crowd. And the clothes he was wearing were a black royal robe, which was quite imposing. At first glance, he is the king of the country of Hesse.

The elven king led the team out to greet him, which was considered to be a face-saving one.

There was also a band that came out with the king. The members of the band stood on both sides, snapped the instruments in their hands, and welcomed the arrival of An Rui and the others with music.

The elven king looked at Anrui and found that it was the same as in the portrait, confirming Anrui's identity. He frowned, waved his hand at the guards with bows and arrows, and scolded: "Quickly put down the weapons in your hands, this is the famous An Rui, he is an honored guest, how can you use weapons against him, this is too rude!" ”

Only then did the guards put down their bows and arrows, and no longer aimed at An Rui and the others.

The Elven King walked quickly up to Anrui, stretched out his hand, and said a polite word. When kings meet each other, they often shake hands and salute, and each other's identities are equal. Only the kings of vassal or small states will choose a more low-profile courtesy when facing the kings of large countries.

At the ceremony, the elven king announced himself to his home and called himself Saruman.

As for the name, An Rui inquired clearly before he came.

So far, King Saruman is quite polite. Of course, his politeness has something to do with not knowing An Rui's intention.

The entrance of the palace was not a place for conversation, and King Saruman directly invited An Rui and the two into the meeting room inside the palace to discuss. When they arrived at the meeting room, the two kings sat facing each other, and their imposing presence was very good.

"King Anrui, the Nova Empire is far away in the New World, why did you suddenly come here?" King Saruman was the first to lose his breath and asked questions.

"I'm here to discuss with you about the border between your country and Aoki Country, I won't say more nonsense, I hope that your country will give up this territory, let this territory continue to be owned by Aoki Country, and write a contract for me to take it back." Anrui replied.

As soon as he heard that An Rui was going to talk about this matter, King Saruman's face immediately sank, and all the politeness he had just now was gone. He glared at An Rui coldly, slapped the table and said, "King An Rui, I really didn't expect you to come here to talk about this matter. I'm sorry, but that territory is ours, and we can't give it to Aoki Country anymore, they have to exchange it back. I sent an envoy to Aoki Province before, and he must have conveyed my intentions. ”

"Your envoy has been arrested by me for his insulting words." Anrui waved his hand.

Quasimodo understood and threw the men out.

The elven envoys and the officers and soldiers fell to the ground, and when they saw that there was a meeting room of their own country, and that the king was in the house, they were all startled, and they all knelt before the king.

When Saruman saw that An Rui dared to arrest his own people, he became even more angry, and suddenly stood up, as if he was about to turn his face. At this time, a minister next to him walked forward quickly, stretched out his hand to stop Saruman, lowered his voice and whispered a few words, and said some words of persuasion.

"King Anrui, my people are disrespectful to you, this is their fault, you should have arrested them, I don't care. But when it comes to territorial disputes, I can't give in. Saruman suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice.

"You won't grant my request?" An Rui asked seemingly calmly.

"No!"

There are not many people who dare to say no in front of An Rui, and this king's attitude towards governance is relatively tough. There are what kind of kings, there are what kinds of envoys, no wonder the envoys he sent out dared to be arrogant in front of Anrui and Queen Dorothy.

"I didn't expect you to say something like that. You know, even the empire on which the sun never sets has to be called by me, and I dare not disobey my orders. Is your little land of projectiles more powerful than the empire on which the sun never sets? An Rui didn't laugh angrily, but there was no joy in his smile, but it was chilling.
