Chapter 352: The Little Prince
The conversation with Vanessa can be said to be very harmonious.
At least both sides have nothing to lose and get something they want.
Li Yunfei has one more organization to help him find someone, and Vanessa gets Li Yunfei's promise.
Although the promise and deal have not shown the effect they should have so far, after all, the deal was only made if Vanessa was able to find Sejuani. If this premise cannot be met, then the deal between the two will never be completed.
But at least the seed has been sown, and one day it will grow and sprout.
In the past few days, Li Yunfei has sown many similar seeds, promising many people empty promises, hoping that one of them will respond to his expectations and help him find the missing little girl.
Now, three days have passed since the day Samael left, and Li Yunfei has sown many seeds in Shining Gold, and now he is going to plant the biggest seed - the king of Stormwind City is going to receive him.
This is an honor for many people in this world, which is enough to make many people excited about it, but Li Yunfei is obviously very calm.
This kind of attitude is very unusual for the officials who received Li Yunfei.
Because this attitude is neither the dismissive arrogance of the hostile camp, nor the calm that ordinary civilians force out, this kind of transcendent calmness makes Li Yunfei stand out.
Just like Li Yunfei just regarded the king's reception as an ordinary gathering of friends, there was nothing special about it, which was naturally not enough to make him excited.
Treat the king as if he were an ordinary man...... Scold......
Shook his head. Throwing this ridiculous thought out of his mind, the receiving official respectfully guided Li Yunfei into the castle of Stormwind Fortress, where he would be received by the king.
Unlike other human kingdoms. The king's residence in the Kingdom of Stormwind is not a royal palace, but a heavily guarded castle where you can feel the king's perseverance.
The boulder-built castle is tall and imposing, like a mighty warrior standing northeast of Stormwind, a striking landmark.
The spire at the highest point of the castle pierced into the sky like a giant sword, and even gave people a sharp feeling like a thorn in the back, as Li Yunfei walked past the gate of the castle. You can feel the scans of the mage's eyes on the minaret, and it is the sentry who is watching to see if he is an assassin.
Fortunately, the sight quickly left, and it was clear that the sentry on the watchtower also knew that the person in front of him was the king's guest. Don't dare to be too offended.
Then several similar lines of gaze swept over him one after another, because of his martial arts practice, Li Yunfei was very sensitive to this kind of gaze, so he could feel a glance that most warriors and mages could not perceive.
From the castle gate to the castle hall. It's not a long journey. He glanced at him with dozens of glances. There were glances from the mage's eyes in the distance, as well as gazes from behind a second-floor window or in a corner on the side of the road.
Stormstorm Fortress, which appears to be empty and poorly defended, clearly hides a heavily guarded defense that is the opposite of what it seems.
The king's meeting place was his study, and after the officials took Li Yunfei in, he respectfully withdrew, leaving Li Yunfei alone in the empty study with nothing to do.
Although he could read the words in the study, he lacked the idea of looking, and he just stood on the balcony and looked out, admiring the view of the castle.
The study is located on the second floor. From the balcony, you can see a small garden with a fountain. On the verdant lawn, a young boy of about twelve years old was wielding a wooden sword in his hand. Launched a charge at a tree, a generous cry from his mouth.
"Suffer death! You stupid undead! ”
Obviously, this young boy who is not very old regards the tree in front of him as his imaginary enemy, and he is also an undead.
Li Yunfei also played this kind of boy's game in his childhood, and at this time, he couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia when he looked at it, and couldn't help laughing.
The chuckle was not loud, but it spread far away in this quiet environment, causing the little boy on the grass to freeze for a moment.
He blushed, stared back at Li Yunfei on the balcony on the second floor, and shouted angrily, "What's so funny? Is my sword skills poor? ”
Li Yunfei laughed, of course, he didn't explain why he was laughing, but then summoned the sword, and then slashed out with a sword under the stunned gaze of the little boy.
The sharp sword qi slashed through the void, like a void blade flew out, silently passing through a branch, leaving a smooth section, and the branch of the broken surface fell down and landed in front of the stunned little boy with a soft sound.
The boy's eyes widened, as if suspecting that he was delusional.
"You...... Are you magic? ”
In his cognition, sword skills did not have such a terrifying attack range, and only magic could do it.
However, Li Yunfei on the balcony shook his head and laughed, "It's not magic. ”
He raised the sword in his hand and said with a smile, "It's just a sword technique." ”
The little boy stared at him, and suddenly realized, "I know, you are Li Yunfei, the great hero who killed the jackal Hogg and protected the Xiquan Fortress in the attack of the dragon, and my father said that I would receive you today." ”
Li Yunfei shrugged his shoulders and was noncommittal, "I am indeed Li Yunfei, but I am not a big hero, just an ordinary person." ”
Looking at the little boy in front of him, Li Yunfei also knew the identity of the other party.
"So you are Prince Anduin? Varian's son, the young Anduin. Wrynn? ”
The little boy nodded, smiling happily, "Mr. Dragon Slayer, can you tell me about the dragon?" I've heard that the dragon that tried to attack the Westspring Fortress is very powerful. ”
The little boy, like all children of his age, was curious and eager to hear interesting stories.
"And Hogg, is it really as terrible as the legend suggests? A gnoll, really as big as a hill? I heard that it is even taller than a two-story building, is it true? ”
In the little boy's innocent questioning voice, Li Yunfei smiled and pointed to the distance between the two and said, "Do you want me to tell you here?" I'm on the balcony and you're in the yard. ”
So when King Varian. When Wu Ruien walked into the study, he saw that the little prince who was pestering Li Yunfei to tell a story was sitting on the sofa with his chin in his hands, listening attentively to Li Yunfei's narration, his eyes were wide and shining.
Looking at all this, he couldn't help but show a stunned expression, not knowing what was going on. (To be continued......)
