Chapter 278: The Palace

After a night's rest, William went to the palace with the three Hunter Brothers of the Camos family.

The palace was not built in the middle of the traditional area, but on the east side of the royal city, much to William's surprise.

Because there are many countries on this continent, just like the Warring States in William's previous life, the threat of war has never been far away.

Therefore, for defensive reasons, the royal palace was generally built in the center of the city, forming an inner fortress.

The advantage of this is that even if the royal city is defeated by the enemy, there is still the last castle to defend and wait for the last hope!

To the east of the royal city, behind the palace was a shallow river with a wooden bridge over it, and beyond the river was a low forest.

Officially, due to the restrictions of the terrain, rivers, forests, etc., the royal city could not be expanded along the perimeter of the palace, and the palace could only evolve into the current structure!

The forest behind the palace was enclosed by the palace and became the garden of the palace.

As William went, he heard from the people of the royal city that the king loved to stay in this garden, to wander in this garden, and especially to have an apple tree in this garden.

In order to protect the apple tree, the king of the Kingdom of Edipas even sent soldiers to guard the garden, just to prevent idlers and others from approaching.

The king was very strict about this, and several soldiers were negligent for a while, and the king found out, and punished them like monkeys, and one of them was hanged on the spot!

Under such a heavy punishment, the people of the whole kingdom knew the importance that the king attached to this apple tree, and they no longer dared to ignore it easily!

On the way, William also heard that the three princesses had disappeared in the garden.

Ever since the disappearance of the three beautiful and generous princesses, the king had become very emaciated, and had remained in the garden and refused to leave.

This information was searched by William with the magic mirror, and was summarized and reported to William by the mirror spirit.

As the saying goes, when things go wrong, there must be demons!

The king attaches so much importance to this garden, and the three princesses disappeared in the garden, William will not believe that this garden is not boring!

Maybe there's some invisible treasure in this garden, William thought to himself after knowing so much information.

Half an hour later, he arrived at the palace with anticipation and the three hunter brothers of the Camos family, who were eager to try.

A large number of young men of various shapes had gathered in front of the palace.

Some of them, like the three Camos brothers, still have immature faces, and after hearing the king's announcement, they came to try their luck, just like the kind of people who bought two-color balls in William's previous life, or the kind of machine that played!

Some of them had a calm face, looking like Mount Tai collapsed in front of them without being shocked.

Some are with the color of vicissitudes, as if they have experienced many things at a glance, and they seem to be more mature.

All in all, and so on!

A cursory look at the past shows that there are hundreds of people.

Among these people, there are those who are tough, handsome, and smart.

Among these people, there are those who are plainly dressed, those who wear armor and swords, and those who follow their retinue!

The three Camos brothers' originally inflated confidence, after seeing so many people, automatically began to compare their hearts, and they would soon become a little discouraged.

Before I came, I always thought I was the best.

After coming over, I found that there are more excellent people outside the village!

The eldest and second brothers of the three Camos brothers were a little unable to accept the blow of this reality, and became sullen and a little lacking in confidence.

Only the youngest Hans, still smiling, looked around curiously.

There is a contrast to see the gap.

This kind of psychological quality made William Gao look at this Hans.

In any case, self-confident people are always more likely to succeed than people with low self-esteem, and of course, those who walk shit luck don't count in that.

As for William, he has seen the wind and waves, and this little scene is not in his eyes.

Besides, he's now an official wizard, and he's a creature on a different level than these mortals.

After William's magic power was completely refined, fused with the spiritual power after promotion, and obtained stronger active ability, ordinary people could not stay with him for a long time.

Because the active magic in his body will constantly and automatically emit radiation to the things and people around him, and after the average person gets close for too long, the body will be radiated out of the abnormal, either a tragic death, or strange things happen.

Only wizards who are also wizards or wizard apprentices who have condensed their spiritual powers, or other powerful creatures have no effect.

The magic of formal wizards can radiate uncontrollably, which is why many wizarding organizations, or individual wizards, are isolated from ordinary people.

To put it simply, it just doesn't get along!

The three Camos brothers and William haven't been together for long, so it doesn't matter yet.

If several people have been together for a long time, then William should pay attention, so as not to harm others, after all, everyone has no grievances.

William was also not a complete dark wizard, and he had little interest in killing innocents indiscriminately.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

William waited patiently for about forty minutes before he heard the voice of the king's guard, who was belated.

"His Royal Highness wants to see you, line up, come with me!"

As soon as the words fell, the palace guards who had been prepared for a long time came over menacingly, shouting for hundreds of young men with dreams to line up!

Looking at the way they looked, it was not the first time they had done this kind of thing, and they were all very experienced.

Soon, the hundreds of people who had been in chaos were organized into several orderly lines, and then followed the king's guards into the palace.

Around the procession, there were solemn-faced armored guards, their eyes like wolves and tigers, constantly sweeping through the crowd.

As soon as they find out that something is wrong, that person will be pulled out and taken away, losing the opportunity to meet the king.

Fortunately, this group of people are all "clean" people, and nothing unusual has been discovered by the guards.

They walked smoothly through the steps of the kingdom, followed the king's personal guards, and turned east and west, until they came to the beach beside a small clear river.

On the beach, a tall man with a crown on his head and luxurious clothes turned his back to them, his eyes kept looking at the garden across the river.

The wind kept blowing, blowing the tall man's clothes fluttering!

Looking at this forced character, everyone present knew that this man was their beloved king, and they all quieted down like rabbits, and did not dare to speak casually.

With a flattering smile, the king's personal guard trotted to the king's side, whispering the situation, and occasionally looking at the team.

Many of the people present were uneasy.

Only William seemed a little bored, standing there with an attitude of indifference.

After a while, the king's guard finished reporting, and the king nodded slightly, withdrew his gaze from the garden, and turned around!
