Two years after the events in Valley of the Kings, Arthur was fifteen years old and had just celebrated his bar mitzvah. With the passage of time, the Valley of the Kings incident has slowly been forgotten in the corner, after all, this incident is a big event for the royal family on the mainland, but it does not have much impact on the ordinary people.

On this day, Arthur was also studying magic with his magic teacher, Master Heinrich. However, when it comes to magic, Arthur's focus has shifted from skill to how to defend and crack. After all, Arthur's talent lies in martial arts, not magic. And Master Heinris lay in bed for a long time after the Valley of the Kings incident. Similarly, Master Heinris's symptoms are the same as those of Arthur, and he does not remember what happened in the Necronomical Mountain. After seeing Master Heinlys, Dregri II did not say anything, but only asked him to recover from his injuries and continue to serve as Arthur's magic teacher. But anyone with a discerning eye can see that after this series of events, Master Heinris has lost the trust of Dragri II. Soon after, Dragri II appointed another white-robed archmage in the kingdom of Ovit as the chief archmage of the court. Master Heinrich didn't seem to have any complaints about this, and lived directly in Arthur's palace.

"Arthur, do you know how to solve the charm?" asked Master Heinris, putting down the Dark Magic Defense Omniscience in his hand.

Arthur, who has passed the rite of passage, is no longer as childish as he was two years ago, and after two years of hard training, he has fully grown into an adult. "Teacher, I still have a little question about seduction. ”

"Oh? ”

"Teacher, you said that the origin of charm comes from succubi. But aren't succubies creatures of the legendary abyss? ”

"Arthur, succubi is just a name for people. I don't know exactly what this creature really looks like. But I can responsibly tell you that the magic of seduction is real. Whether it was the hell gate counterattack more than twenty years ago, or the defense against invasion a thousand years ago, we are told that there is more than one world. Now that I'm old, I'm not very interested in these anymore. When Arthur becomes the Knight Queen in the future, please fulfill this wish for me. After Master Heinris finished speaking, he was exhausted.

Arthur looked at the teacher who had only been showing his old age in just two years, and was distressed. But as for what exactly happened in the Valley of the Kings, the teacher did not know and he did not remember. This made Arthur unable to comfort him.

Putting away the textbook on his desk, Arthur bowed deeply to Heinrich. "Teacher, I'll go out first. Heinris, who had already dozed off, did not respond to Arthur.

Gently closing the door, Arthur said to his attendant Severns, who was waiting at the door, "Where is my father?" "Your Highness, Your Majesty is in the council chamber with Count Palmers and others. It seems to be about the tribe of barbarians in the northwest of the kingdom. ”

"The barbarian tribe, what's going on?" Arthur asked, frowning.

"I don't know about this, it seems that those barbarian tribes are harassing the border again. Severns said. In the northwestern part of the Kingdom of Ovite, on the Walloon plateau, numerous barbarian tribes lived. These barbarian tribes believed in their ancestors, were less civilized, and did not like farming, so they had to harass the borders of the empire and the kingdom to obtain food.

The kingdom was overwhelmed by this, so the kingdom's ace troops, the Fengton Knights, were sent there, which also played a role in training, so as to prevent the Fengdun Knights from declining in combat effectiveness after a long time without war.

These Arthurs are clear, and Drurge II is even more clear, so there should be nothing to talk about, even if those barbarian tribes invade, but there are Fengdun Knights, they can't make big waves, after all, the barbarian tribes are constantly fighting within the tribe.

However, Drage II actually summoned the important ministers of the kingdom to discuss the matter, which means that something unusual must have happened in the northwest of the kingdom.

"Severns, you don't have to follow me. I'm going to go to the council chamber and have a look. "Yes, Your Highness. ”

Arthur walked alone in the palace passages, thinking back to what had happened some time ago. Now that Arthur had reached adulthood, the Holy See sent an emissary to negotiate with Dragri II when it would be time for Arthur to attend the Paladin's ordination ceremony. It was Arthur's acquaintance, Archbishop Terraria of the Holy See.

Although Arthur did not rule out going to the Holy See to become a paladin, Arthur was still a little displeased when he saw the Holy See urging him so urgently. However, Dregri II did not seem to feel anything, and after asking Arthur what he thought, he set a date with Archbishop Terraria for Arthur to go to the Holy See. Just a month later, and today it is less than half a month before the departure for the Holy See.

After turning a few corners, Arthur came to the council chamber. "Your Royal Highness, Your Majesty has said that no one can enter the council chamber without his permission. Just as Arthur was about to push open the door and enter the council chamber, the guards behind the door stopped Arthur.

"Really? Can't I?"

"This majesty did not say. The guard hesitated.

"In that case, let me in, and if my father blames me, I will bear it. With that, Arthur was going in. The two guards glanced at each other and did not stop them.

The door to the council chamber creaked, and Arthur pushed the door open and entered the somewhat dimly lit chamber.

The ministers of the kingdom, who were talking in the council chamber, stopped when they saw someone coming in, as if they were looking behind them. Dregri II, who was sitting on the throne, saw Arthur, "Arthur, why are you here?" ”

Arthur walked up to Drage II and knelt down on one knee, and said, "Father, I heard that the barbarian tribes in the northwestern part of the palace have begun to harass the border, and I wanted to come and have a look. ”

"Get up, and since you're here, let's listen to it. Dregri II motioned for Arthur to be by his side.

When the Minister of the Kingdom saw that it was Arthur, the Prince, who had come in, and that the King had asked Arthur to observe, the discussion began again.

General Ossad, who distinguished himself in the events in the Valley of the Kings, not only went unpunished, but was promoted to Minister of Military Aircraft. General Ossad was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, I think it is necessary to thoroughly investigate the changes that have occurred in the barbarian tribes. Whether or not there is a necromancer at work. If the = undead creatures are allowed to become powerful, it will definitely be a disaster for the western border of the palace. ”

After listening to General Ossad's words, Dragri II did not express any opinion, but asked Count Palmers, the prime minister and foreign minister of the kingdom, to express his opinion, "Palmers, you tell me what the Eloda Empire means. ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the mutations in the Walloon Plateau have indeed had a greater impact on our country, since the discovery of the present, in just half a month, four or five barbarian tribes have been wiped out, and all the barbarian corpses have become part of the army of the undead. And there are already signs of intrusion into the territory of the Eloda Empire. So, for the sake of this common trouble, His Majesty Lancelowen III has agreed to work with our country to resolve this mutation. But they were reluctant to send troops, choosing instead to provide supplies. ”

Count Palmers' words made Dragory II frown deeply, "How much are they willing to provide?"

"Back to Your Majesty, 1,000 pairs of heavy armor, 2,000 pairs of light armor, 10,000 arrows and stones, and 3,000 gold coins. As soon as Count Palmers' words came out, the whole council chamber immediately burst into discussion.

"It's too much to deceive people, just these materials, why didn't the Eloda Empire directly not even give three thousand gold coins. Viscount Pedro, the finance minister on the side, was immediately dissatisfied.

"That's right, what does the Eloda Empire want to do?"

Duke Hendries had been observing Arthur's reaction since Arthur came in, and after Count Palmers finished speaking, he smiled slightly, and then said to Dragori II: "Brother Wang, no matter how much the empire is willing to provide, it is better than nothing. Let's ask our Chancellor of the Exchequer to tell us how much wealth the kingdom still has. ”

As soon as Duke Hendries finished speaking, the council hall immediately fell silent, and Viscount Pedro, the finance minister who had just criticized the most ruthless behavior of the Eloda Empire, sat down without saying a word, as if the person who had just spoken was not him.

"What's the matter, Master Pedro, why don't you speak. Duke Hendries asked with a smile.

"Your Highness, this, I ...... about the wealth of the kingdom" Viscount Pedro stammered and was a little speechless.

"Alright, don't embarrass Viscount Pedro. I know how much gold is left in the kingdom's treasury. Viscount Pedro, take out 10,000 gold coins from the king's treasury to supplement the treasury. Dergeri II glanced at Duke Hendries and said, "Leave the attitude of the Eloda Empire alone. Now tell Arthur what happened on the borders of the kingdom, he still doesn't know anything. ”

Ossad bowed respectfully to Arthur and said, "Half a month ago, a farmer outside the city of Solham found a strange man in his field, and he thought it was a robber, so he hurried back to the village to inform the village chief. Later, the village chief led the people to arrest the strange man. The man was so stiff that the village farmer easily caught him and prepared for interrogation the next day. But I didn't expect that someone in that small village would have the same symptoms as that person at night. Stiff in movement and slurred in speech. The chief of the village felt that something was wrong, so he hurried to the city of Cherhaven to find the priest, and when he passed through the priest's others, he learned that the man had been poisoned by the corpse, and had been infected for a long time, and could no longer be treated. This incident was not taken seriously after the priest reported it to the garrison of the city of Thurhaven, and it was known that there were several more such incidents. to attract attention. But it was too late, and by the time the king knew, the situation had become irreparable. At present, the Knights of Fundon are still dealing with the incident in Port Safe. General Ossad recounted the whole incident.

After listening to this, Arthur asked, "Has the source of the corpse poison been investigated?"

"Well, that's what we thought at first. However, after this period of searching, no traces of what appeared to be the source of the corpse poison were found. We are still searching. Ossad replied.

"Arthur, have you found anything?" asked Dragory II, curiously.

"No, Father. There is too little information. Arthur replied.

"Arthur, there's no need to rush on this matter. Although the corpse poison has an impact on our borders, it is ravaging the Walloon plateau and is more harmful to the barbarians. However, zombies infected with corpse poison do need to be prevented. Duke Hendries began.

"That being the case, this concludes today's meeting. Palmers, you continue to communicate with the Eloda Empire, be sure to have them send troops as well. Osad, you go and tell Myrak that you should continue to observe the direction of the spread of the corpse poison. "Yes, Your Majesty. "Count Palmers, together with General Ossad, saluted Dergery II and then withdrew from the council chamber.

Duke Hendries also glanced at Arthur and walked out of the council chamber with the other kingdom officials.

"Arthur, what do you think about this?" asked Drage II after everyone had gone out. "Father, this is clearly man-made, so we need to take precautions against whether there is any conspiracy against the kingdom. Arthur replied.

"In that case, before you leave here, check to see if there is anyone in the kingdom who has anything to do with it. ”

"Yes, Father. ”

Arthur also withdrew from the council chamber after speaking, leaving Drurgeri II to sit on the throne in silence.
