Chapter 299: Audience

In the complex underground world of Molten Iron City, the terrifying tentacles from Mother Crypt slowly stabilized as the dwarves sang. The indescribable substance returned to the metal chapel like a tired child through the gap above the basket, and the Hammer Duke reached out and slapped the basket, and the only way to the terrible sanctuary was closed with the sound of the machine turning.

Seeing that the bottom of the hanging basket was perfectly inlaid like the roof of a cave, the dwarf let out a sigh ......of relief, and he wiped the sweat from his forehead. Shaking his body, he turned to pick up his hammer. Then he glared fiercely at Krus and the Cursed Crow, and said in a deep voice, "You two, come with me." ”

The wizard and the demon spawn looked at each other (the raven still had their eyes closed), and they now realized that perhaps they had both underestimated the lord before, and that André probably knew more than anyone else about the secrets of his city. Krus walked over to the sorcerer, touched the sorcerer's shoulder inquiringly, and after the crow nodded, the Madar carried the sorcerer on his back and took two steps to catch up with the dwarf in front of him.

The lamp in the hands of the Grand Duke of the Hammer disappeared around the corner of the hallway, and the tunnel returned to darkness once more, with nothing to prove that there was ever a trace of life here except for the fragments of the corpses of the snakeheads and giants on the ground......

The rain seems to be getting heavier and heavier. The icy raindrops dodged the brim of the hat that covered the cheese's head because of the wind, and directly hit the gray-robed mage's eyes. The mage rubbed his eyes and whispered in protest against the untimely precipitation. The same is true for most of his companions, the Lion King after the Great War is in a state of being wounded everywhere, and this cold rain will take the lives of many seriously injured soldiers.

"This damn rain. Atticus, the Iron Knight to the left of Cheese, cursed in a low voice. The old knight didn't care about the cold droplets of water hitting his eyes, and his heavy boots made a splash when they stepped on the potholed stone pavement. His gaze seemed to pass through the rain curtain and see the soldiers suffering from the cold and damp weather in the humble barracks. "This damn rain. ”

Unlike the scolding old knight to the mage's left, Heather bowed her head slightly, silent in the rain. In addition to the disgust for the rain, there was also a deep confusion in her eyes. After arriving in the royal capital, she was abducted by a group of Wet Spirits, Wanderers in the Rain, and from the mouths of these believers, she learned some information about her family's lineage, and the fact that she was loved by the creator of her bloodline. Heather was sure that even if she raised her head now and actively let the rain drip into her eyes, the droplets would be avoided. But this ability only made her more confused.

As if infected by the silence of the three people walking at the front of the line, Elsa and Jack and the others who followed behind Cheese only lowered the brim of their hoods, and none of them spoke. The team silently passed through the streets of the royal capital like a ghost, and walked towards their destination, the king's castle. The Grand Knight Captain agreed to the mage's request and was willing to be Cheese's introduction to the king, which was indispensable for Heather's persuasion, but in fact, both Atticus and Cheese understood that things had come to this point, and as the ruler of this kingdom, His Majesty the King of the Blue Lion had to stand up.

"Please stop!" as the guards in front of the castle gate crossed their halberds in front of the group, even the sound of falling rain could not hide the loud order. Atticus raised his eyes and looked at the guard who shouted this, the old man was not angry at the other man's rudeness, on the contrary, he was glad that the soldier's morale was still high.

"The Master of the Order of the Kingdom, Atticus, requests to be seen before His Majesty. The Iron Knight gave a knightly salute to the other and replied in a voice that was no less than the other. Such a loud response may seem childish to others, but it does boost the morale of the fighters.

"Your Majesty is waiting for you in the Hall of the Throne, Master Knight, you can enter the castle, but these ...... around you" The soldier raised his hand to his chest, and he was flattered by the Grand Knight's salute. But honor is honor, and as a guard, he must ensure that no dangerous elements enter the castle.

Atticus glanced at the mage beside him, and saw that Cheese was now looking curiously at the royal castle of the Grey Lion, and was not displeased that he was hindered from entering the door. He walked over to the soldier and whispered a few words of explanation, describing the cheese as reliable adventurers. The captain of the guard fully believed the Iron Knight, after all, most of the soldiers in this kingdom grew up listening to his stories.

"Alright, let's go inside. When the guards withdrew their weapons, the heavy gates leading to the castle of the lion royal family also opened to both sides with a roar, and several people walked into the castle and immediately felt the warmth of the flames. They stepped on the thick red carpet and looked at the reliefs carved on the sides of the corridors and on the dome about the history of this kingdom, and although they had not yet met the king, an invisible pressure had fallen on everyone's hearts.

"Please come with us. The castlemaid standing on either side of the corridor bowed lightly, made a gesture of please, and led Cheese and the others to the throne room. At the same time, the other maids also brought dry and warm towels to the warriors to wipe their damp armor. Jack: They hadn't experienced this kind of formation, and they were quite embarrassed by the maids' actions for a while. It was Heather who turned his head and gave a warm smile to the others, and demonstratively handed the soaked blouse to the maid, and the wolfwalkers knew what to do.

Walking through the antechamber of the castle and up the stairs, the group was so impressed by the majesty of the castle that even Jack followed the example of the Iron Knight, walking with his hands hanging down at his sides. Unlike the others who had met the royal castle for the first time, Cheese had been to the world with his teacher more than once in a country that was richer and more powerful than the Grey Lion, and he knew very well that compared to those kingdoms or empires, the Grey Lion's Castle was almost plain. However, what lies beneath this simplicity is a skill that those great powers do not have.

"Really nice castle. The mage complimented.

"Leave this to your Majesty later, he will like to hear it. Hearing the cheese's praise of his country's castle, the old knight's face unconsciously showed a proud smile, and he said to the mage in a very rare tone of ridicule.

"Several, the throne room has arrived, and His Majesty is waiting for you inside. The maid who led the way bowed respectfully, and behind her was a gate carved with a roaring white lion. Behind this door is the supreme power of this kingdom.
