Chapter 16: The King's Response
There is a large city in the world of prosperity in the kingdom of heaven, which is also one of the best in the world, and people respectfully call it the "royal capital".
The origin of the name is simple, as the name suggests, because the "king" of the kingdom of heaven also lives in this city.
Located in the center of the royal capital, there is a luxurious palace that makes people feel envious after looking at it.
The total area of the palace is 800,000 square meters, and the palace is dominated by pure white walls and a special black roof.
In the most prominent part of the palace stands a fantastic building, with intricately carved gems on every pillar and a floor made of fine fabric, which the average person will surely think is a little too extravagant.
…… Hiss...... Hiss......
A pair of dexterous hands fly on the table, and the rhythmic pen strokes through one document after another, which, if you listen closely, resembles a modern "ventriloquist".
Sitting on a finely carved and polished throne, this young man was only about twenty years old, dressed in an expensive yellow robe, and a little shorter than the average person, with short hair as blue as the sea.
Now because of his long work, his palms have been dyed dark black for some time, and there are faint dark circles on his face, and at this moment, his expression is as nervous as a prisoner who is facing severe torture.
That being said, he's not a student rushing to get homework, or a writer rushing to get a manuscript.
If it were an ordinary person, it might be difficult to imagine that this young man who was about twenty years old would be the king who ruled the entire kingdom of heaven.
"Hey, Mijomoto."
At this moment, a calm voice called out the name of "King".
The voice was directed by a man of twenty-six years of age at most, with long hair as black as the night sky almost reaching to the knees, and a face that gave an inexplicable sense of seriousness.
Dressed in a black kimono, he was sitting in front of the king to the left with his eyes closed, while leaning against a pillar encrusted with jewels behind his back.
Then, he wore two swords around his waist, one was a snow-white "spirit sword" and the other was a very ordinary katana.
The true identity of this man is also known to everyone, one of the three famous sword saints, and his name is "Broken Stream".
After noticing Broken Stream's call for his name, Mijomoto replied simply, "Huh? Then he continued to work hard, no, to be more accurate, he hadn't even looked at the broken stream from the beginning, and he didn't seem to care much.
"Do you know what you're doing?"
"I must be working, otherwise do you think I'm idle?"
Mijomoto answered Shredd's question with a calm attitude.
Obviously, if ordinary people saw this scene, they would definitely think that Mijo was either studying or working, in fact, he knew this very well in his heart, but he wasn't asking knowingly, it's just that Mijo didn't realize the meaning of his words.
"I know you're doing the annoying work without you saying it, but you really don't understand what I'm talking about?"
Shredded Stream slowly opened his eyes as he spoke, and then turned his gaze to Mijomoto, who was immersed in his work, and he put his hands on the back of his head and continued:
"It's been like this, you shouldn't know that Tucker was attacked by the Demon Country."
"So you said this, I know very well, what's wrong?"
"What's wrong?"
Broken stream asks the royal book.
"That demon king has already come to greet the kingdom of heaven like this, their intention is obviously to start a war, right, have you still not reacted at all? It's ridiculous that you have the heart to work here all day long. ”
"Hey......."
Broken streams said this, Mijomoto had no choice but to stop what he was doing, and in order to prevent him from continuing to misunderstand again, he tried to interrupt his speech that led to the end of his intestines, but he was preempted.
"Although I don't think it matters what, but you are also the "king" of this heavenly kingdom, do you plan to ignore this matter? ”
"Don't get me wrong, I've never had that kind of intention."
"Really? Then tell us what you are going to do. ”
After Shreddle asked calmly, Mijomoto waved his arms and continued with the tedious work, explaining:
"I'll hold a meeting to decide on the countermeasures of the demon country after everyone else has arrived, so don't worry about this kind of thing first, I'm very tired of work, and I don't want to add any more burden."
Shredded Stream seemed a little surprised by Mijomoto's answer, and he let out "Oh? "A bang.
"The other people in your mouth also include the other two Sword Masters."
"Of course."
Mijomoto replied without hesitation.
"But in the past few days, I don't seem to have heard any news about Terike and Tao Guyue returning to the royal capital——。"
At the moment when the words of the broken stream were not finished——, the door that was originally closed was "Duang! Someone suddenly pushed it away.
"Huh?"
After perceiving the sound, Broken Stream subconsciously cast his eyes to the door.
Walking in was a guard, who did not hesitate to walk in front of the Mijo Ben and stopped, gave a simple salute, opened his lips and said:
"Report to the Heavenly King, yesterday the Sword Saint Terek has arrived in the royal capital and is now resting in the palace."
After hearing the guard's words, Mijomoto immediately put down the pen in his hand, but only because the work was finally completed.
Then Mijomoto rested his elbows on the table and propped his cheeks, probably because of the long hours of work, and Mijomoto felt a burst of comfort just by such a small movement.
"Oh, that's good, it seems that Terike arrived quite quickly, so is there any news of Tao Guyue and the ZP1 troops?."
"For the time being, there is no news from the Sword Saint Tao Guyue, and except for the first seat, the air and the ZP1 captain Lin Tiange, the other members of the team seem to be on the way back after completing the mission."
After the answer came from the guards in front of him, Mijomoto's face was stained with trouble, and he said to himself, "That's it." The murmur of the voice.
But it's no wonder.,Right now, the Demon Country attacked Tucker a few days ago.,In this tense situation, it's not surprising that even if other towns are attacked again.,Mijo is also very clear about the Demon King's intention to start a war.,Although these days are just the same as usual on the surface.,But to be honest.,Mijo Ben is really more anxious than anyone else in his heart.,You must take advantage of the news that Tucker was destroyed by the Demon Country to spread.,Hold a meeting as soon as possible to make countermeasures.,So as not to make people panic.。
In fact, as early as the first moment he learned that Tucker had been attacked, he had already issued an order to the three major sword masters and the ZP1 troops who were on a mission to hurry back to the royal capital, and it stands to reason that they should arrive in the royal capital within a few days.
"Tao Guyue, that guy shouldn't have come to the royal capital alone."
At that moment, the sound of a broken stream was heard in front of me.
"yes, he's a man, how-"
Before he could finish speaking, Mijomoto shook his shoulders suddenly.
"That'...... That guy, should he ...... Get lost! ”
"Hey, that road idiot, you don't arrange someone to lead him in the way, just let him go back to the royal capital alone, and now he is already halfway to the demon country."
Broken Stream sighed helplessly.
"yes, it seems that I didn't think it through."
"But it's strange that the imps of the ZP1 unit haven't arrived yet, and the ZP1 unit usually goes together as a whole team when they carry out tasks? If the captain didn't go, he still said that he was in the past, but why didn't he even go to that space? ”
"Well...... this"
Asked by Broken Stream, Yujo carefully recalled the reason that Lin Tiange, the captain of the ZP1 unit, had told him before.
"Lin Tiange said that it seems that because Sora has been unwell recently, he has not participated in the mission many times."
"Is that why?"
Broken Stream shook his head with a sigh and continued:
"Sure enough, the current ZP1 unit is really not as good as before."
"Don't say that, after all, the strength of the air exceeds the level of the cadres of the Demon Country."
"My subordinates have one more thing to report to the Heavenly King."
As soon as the words fell, the guards spoke again.
