With his right hand between his eyebrows, Arthur looked at the rising sun, and his mood was as sunny as the weather. Thinking of the sketch of the sword he had designed after staying up all night, Arthur felt that Joseph's gift had been settled. It's not far from the day when he rushes to the Hundred Beasts Plain, and if he doesn't get this matter done quickly, Arthur won't have the face to go back to see his good friend.

Arthur asked Severce to bring the horse, then turned on his horse and began to ride his horse towards the dwarven blacksmith's blacksmith's shop.

Approaching the time when the entrance of the Hundred Beasts Plains appeared, as the closest city to the entrance of the Hundred Beasts Plains, Banyas City also poured in a lot of people for a while. The crowded streets made Arthur have to lead the horse, but the crowding of people made it difficult for Arthur to walk.

As the sun receded, it was close to noon that Arthur rushed from the inn to the dwarven blacksmith's shop. After arriving, Arthur discovered that the dwarven master Clarence had been invited to the City Lord's Mansion. Seeing Arthur running away, the dark-skinned man was also a little unbearable, and he said to Arthur: "This young master, in fact, my master was ready to build a long sword for you yesterday, but his old man had a request, but he was embarrassed to speak. That's why there is such a misunderstanding. ”

The dark-skinned man then made a request from Master Clarence to have Arthur leave the lion's fangs for a few days so he could observe and admire them. Because the forging skills of the lion's teeth are something that the dwarven blacksmith has never seen, if the dwarven blacksmith is allowed to study it for a few days, it may be able to take the dwarven blacksmith's forging technique to the next level.

However, Clarence also knew that a knight's saber was not so easy to untie, and it was estimated that Arthur would not agree, and Clarence could not pull off his old face, so he refused Arthur's request.

After hearing the dark-skinned middle-aged man's words, Arthur hesitated for a moment, then untied the lion's tooth and handed it to the man, and then said, "I really hope that the master can help me build a good sword." The lion's tooth can be lent to the master for a period of study, and when I return from the Hundred Beast Plain, I hope the master will not let me down. ”

The man looked at the lion tooth in his hand, then at Arthur, who was still a little hesitant, and said loudly: "Don't worry, this young master, my master's craftsmanship will definitely satisfy the young master, and I, Crook, will definitely tell my master the young master's requirements as they are." ”

Arthur took out the sketch he had drawn and told Crook what he wanted. After the explanation, Arthur walked out of the blacksmith shop. When Crook saw Arthur leaving, he hurriedly called the apprentice who was learning in the blacksmith shop: "Quick, go to the City Lord's Mansion to inform the master." I said that the people who came to the shop yesterday brought me here. ”

Looking at the back of the apprentice in the distance, Crook let out a long sigh of relief. If the master is happy, then he can learn new techniques himself.

Arthur, who had let go of a preoccupation, walked on the road with a much lighter pace. Although it is impossible to carry lion teeth in the Hundred Beasts, from the information obtained, the Hundred Beasts are more of a test of human nature, and the fatal dangers are not very many. If you are careful, you will be able to get out safely.

From the time the convoy arrived in Banyas City until now, Arthur had not taken a good look at Banyas City. Unlike the rugged faces of the inhabitants of the royal capital of Ovit, the inhabitants of Banyas City mostly have a wide face, narrow eyelids, a low forehead, and brown and black hair, giving Arthur a different feeling.

In front of a shop selling specialty crafts, Arthur stopped. When passing through other cities before, Arthur did not leave the post station because of his dull mood. This time, I finally went shopping, and I should buy some souvenirs for the people in the palace. As Arthur raised his foot to enter the store, there was a sudden exclamation from passers-by on the street. Arthur stopped and turned his head to look over, only to see a man riding a horse and rushing away from the passerby and stopping in front of Arthur. "Your Royal Highness, the Duke wants you to return to the inn now. Arthur fixed his eyes and saw that it was Kyle Branne, his uncle's personal attendant.

"Uncle Brynn, is there anything urgent?" asked Arthur. Although the Duke of Hendries was knighted as Duke of Normanster, he lived in the royal capital of Xollus all year round. Therefore, Arthur is also very familiar with Kyle Blann, Kyle Blann, who often instructs Arthur in martial arts, and Arthur is also called Uncle Kyle.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the Duke did not say anything, but only said that the situation is urgent and you need to return to the post station quickly. Brann said.

Arthur didn't ask any more questions, he took the reins from his squire's hand, and then turned on his horse and hurried back to the inn with Brann.

"Good day, Your Royal Highness the Prince. Arthur waved his hand to stop the guard at the door, and then walked quickly into the inn, "Uncle Branne, where is my uncle now?" "Now the Duke should be waiting for His Highness in the study." Brann replied as he caught up with Arthur. "Okay" Hearing Brann's answer, Arthur walked to a room on the left side of the inn.

In the bright room, Duke Hendries was reading a letter carefully, but from his solemn expression, what was written in the letter was not a good thing.

"Uncle, are you looking for me in a hurry?" asked Arthur as he pushed the room open and walked over to Duke Hendris. "Come, Arthur, look at this letter. When Duke Hendries saw Arthur come in, he handed Arthur the parchment scroll in his hand.

Arthur took the parchment from Duke Hendris's hand in confusion and read it carefully. The further down he looked, the heavier Arthur's heart grew. When he finished reading the last line, he couldn't hold it anymore, and his body staggered and sat down in the chair behind him.

Arthur, who had been sitting in the chair for a long time, raised his head, looked at his uncle with a look of disbelief, and said with difficulty: "Uncle, is this true?" "Arthur, I understand your feelings, but the closure of the original entrance of the Hundred Beasts is not what I want. There is no news about why the entrance to the Hundred Beast Plain will be closed for the time being, we can still stay in the city for a few days to observe for a while, maybe after a while, the entrance of the Hundred Beast Plain will be opened again. Duke Hendries left his seat and walked over to Arthur's side and comforted. "Is Joseph really dead, and why did there be a landslide in the Valley of the Kings?" Arthur looked at Duke Hendries with tears in his eyes.

Duke Hendris sighed, originally thinking that Arthur would be sad because the original entrance of the Hundred Beasts was closed, but he didn't expect it to be because of Joseph. Arthur sat on the chair with his head covered and cried silently, and Duke Hendries couldn't bear to say anything, he walked outside the study, bowed his head to his chief guard, Branne, and said something, Hendries turned around and closed the door and left the study.

The sunlight left a dappled shadow through the window, reflecting Arthur's lonely figure, and the experience of climbing mountains and wading around with Joseph since he was a child was displayed in Arthur's mind. Joseph's laughter with himself, Joseph's hearty laughter lingered in Arthur's ears for a long time.

"Arthur, when you come back, we're going to have a good match, and I'm going to show you that my swordsmanship is ten times better than yours. "Ten times over? Joseph, how did you become Hart, you know bragging. "Arthur, don't you believe it? If I can win, you will admit that I am ten times more skilled in swordsmanship, and you will give me a sword. "What if you lose?" "If I lose, if I lose, then I'll give you a horse to ride!"

Arthur wiped away his tears and looked up, looking at the parchment letter in his hand, recalling the bet he made with Joseph before leaving the city of Xsolus, and a smile tugged at the corner of Arthur's mouth.

The image of Joseph's bet in his mind suddenly shattered like a mirror, and Joseph's figure became farther and farther away from Arthur. Arthur's ears seemed to be unable to hear anything, and the world was at peace. Arthur fainted to the ground with a bang, and Sir Brann, who heard the sound outside the door, quickly pushed open the door of the room and ran in, seeing Arthur fainting on the ground, and hurriedly ran to Arthur's side, "Your Highness, Your Royal Highness the Prince!" Brann turned his head and shouted to the guards standing aside, "Go and call the doctor and inform the Duke." With that, Brann picked Arthur up and ran to the next bedroom. The guards hurried out of the courtyard to inform Duke Hendris.

When Arthur awoke, he found himself surrounded by a crowd of Uncle Hendris, his sister Princess Elena, and Sir Gawain and Uncle Brian. When Hendries saw that Arthur had woken up, he hurriedly asked Arthur about his condition, and Arthur apologized and said, "Uncle is worried, I have nothing to do." The doctor standing on the side also said: "Lord Duke, His Royal Highness the Prince should faint after being stimulated, and he will recover after a few days of recuperation." "That's good, Arthur, you have a good rest, and we won't bother you. Then Duke Hendries stood up and motioned for everyone to leave, and Princess Elena walked over to the bed, "Brother, rest well." Don't be too sad about Joseph's affairs. "Sister, don't worry!" Elena saw that Arthur didn't want to say more, so she left the room with the others.

Arthur, who was lying on the bed, laughed self-deprecatingly, he didn't expect that he would faint so many times during his trip to the Eloda Empire, and he wanted to become a big hero, but now he was about to become a sick man.

In another room, Duke Hendries pulled out a pitch-black wooden box. The wooden box depicts a roaring lion with gold thread, and the lion is surrounded by intricate inscriptions. This is the highest secret document of the Ovite Kingdom, and the inscription on the wooden box is a kind of destruction inscription, as long as someone wants to open the wooden box with violence, the wooden box will explode and destroy the gangster and the letters in the wooden box.

Duke Hendries pierced his fingertips with a dagger, squeezing out a drop of blood and dripping it into the eye of the roaring lion. After being dripped with blood, the golden lion seemed to come to life, and the lion's head stared at Duke Hendries with agility, and then the wooden box opened automatically.

Duke Hendries took a roll of parchment out of the wooden box and slowly opened it.

After a few moments, Duke Hendris's face had turned bloodless. He stood up and paced up and down the room, thinking about the impact of what the letter said would be if it were made public.

Hendries struggled for a long time, and then a flame ignited in the palm of Duke Hendris's hand, igniting the parchment that had made him panic.

Looking at the burned parchment scroll, Duke Hendris's hanging heart also relaxed a little. With a wave of his hand, a breeze blew through the closed window-closed room, scattering the ashes of the parchment.

After standing there and thinking for a long time, Duke Hendries made up his mind, and he pushed open the door and walked to the hall of the inn. Subsequently, all the nobles in the envoy team of the Kingdom of Ovite gathered in the hall.

Duke Hendries made public the contents of his first letter, and everyone looked shocked. The disappearance of the original entrance of the Hundred Beasts and the landslide in the Valley of the Kings were too surprising for a while, and many people couldn't accept it for a while, and they were all talking about it below.

Duke Hendries listened coldly to the discussions of the nobles below, and did not stop them, these two pieces of news are indeed very unacceptable for a while, and it takes time to digest.

After waiting for a while, Duke Hendries motioned for everyone to be quiet, and then spoke: "The disappearance of the entrance to the Hundred Beast Plain is extremely important to all of us, and I know that there are many people in your family who want to enter the Hundred Beast Plain this time. Originally, Arthur also wanted to take advantage of this time to enter the Hundred Beasts Plain. However, there is also news from the kingdom that the entrance to the Hundred Beasts Plains may open again in a few days, so if you want to stay and wait, I can negotiate with the Banyas City side and let you stay in Banyas City until the entrance to the Hundred Beasts Plains opens. Because of the landslide in the Valley of the Kings, I need to rush back to China immediately. Sir Gawain, you need to come with me. With that, Duke Hendries closed his eyes and waited for them to discuss the result.

"Yes, Lord Duke. Sir Gawain agreed directly. After some discussion among the other nobles, some decided to stay and wait for the opening of the original entrance to the Hundred Beasts, while others returned to the kingdom with Duke Hendris.

Now that the matter has been decided, everyone is starting to act. In the early morning of the next day, the departing convoy had already assembled at the gate of the inn, and it was only then that people realized that Prince Arthur had also stayed. Duke Hendris's explanation was that Arthur was not fit for long journeys and needed to recuperate for a period of time before returning to the kingdom, and that Sir Brann had stayed.

Standing in the rising sun, Arthur watched the convoy go away.
