Chapter 302: Meeting the King

Follow the mountainside road to the top of the city. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The buildings here retain more of the Elven style.

Again, these buildings are mostly built on the hillside, but traces of man-made carvings can be seen that are not as obvious as in Ergonda.

Probably because the rocks here are difficult to excavate.

The elves on the road gradually became formal—they were well-dressed and spoke elegantly.

What's more, for the first time, I saw the patrol troops.

Walking on the side of the road and looking down the hill, you can see a panoramic view of the market on the two floors below.

If you don't have enough troops to deploy throughout the city, or if you want to give more freedom to the merchants.

It is indeed a good idea to have troops stationed at the top.

Just as the city itself is a jumble, though.

Even at the highest level, close to the territory of the Seganger royal family, it is obvious that the elves here come from many different ethnic groups.

"Before the Crescent Families moved to the Dawn Mountains, one of their troops was in charge of policing here"

Feed!

Ellie, such important information needs to be told in advance.

No wonder the elves on the road were staring at us with obvious ill intentions.

Although the elves in the lower market are friendly to Ellie, the atmosphere on this floor has obviously changed.

Eight achievements are because the Dawn Mountains dug corners.

The royal palace was built slightly lower on the top of the hill, unlike El Gonda, which was a separate building, where the palace was built in the middle of the mountain.

That is to say - built in a cave.

The sturdy mountain provides good defense, and the road that runs up the mountainside is narrow and rugged, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The gate of the palace is a huge arch, very high, and the semicircular part above it is a relief.

It's probably a description of how hospitable the elves are, but I don't understand it anyway.

In front of the wide turquoise stone steps at the entrance of the palace, a line of soldiers in green armor stood.

Continuing the Elgonda style, they wore a set of heavy plate armor that completely covered their bodies.

As for the green color, it was probably to provide better concealment in the land, so gold was not used.

As soon as we got closer, all the guards raised their spears and aimed them at us.

Boy...... It's a tense atmosphere.

Elle pulled out a fine piece of parchment and handed it to one of the guards.

"Elice Heranna of the Dawn Mountains, wants to see His Majesty 'Tirnaroque'"

The guard looked at Ellie, then put away the spear in his hand, took the paper from Ellie's hand, and looked at it carefully.

"Please wait"

'Hey, Ellie, if things don't go right'

I whispered to Ellie in my heart.

'It is possible to set fire to the shops on the lower floors, and the chaos caused can allow us to escape'

'It's really useless, and I want to run away before I get in'

Ellie reprimanded me inwardly, and she glanced down the hill as well.

The view is very wide, and everything that is happening below is clear at a glance, and it is very convenient to find someone.

But if smoke rises, the guards at high will lose their target.

We can take advantage of the chaos and jump directly onto the flying ship with magic.

'Well, I wrote it down'

Ellie relented.

"A few people are invited to come in"

The guards lined up in two rows to make a way.

Because the road in front of the hall itself is not wide, it is even more suffocating to stand on two rows of heavily armed guards.

Coming in through the large towering arches, the space in the palace is surprisingly large.

The dome was very high, covered with some kind of magic, and it shone like a soft daylight.

Nothing else is green except for those neat pillars around it.

After walking into the main hall, I felt more comfortable for my eyes.

The floor was covered with a soft carpet, as if from the fur of some animal, which led directly to the throne like a red carpet.

The farther walls are divided into grids, but there are no pretty glass windows, and this is inside the mountain, after all.

Instead, statues after statues.

Again, this is very similar to the Dawn Mountains.

Especially very similar to the Council of Dawn, it is filled with various sculptures - elven kings from all over the ages.

'Don't mention that place, it's annoying to mention it'

Ellie mentally warned me.

'The sculptures here are all very famous archmages'

It's quite in line with Seganger's style.

"Brother, I'll come down"

Liu Xiao seems to be a little better, and she probably doesn't want to stay on my back to meet the king.

But...... The air in the main hall does seem to be slightly cleaner, without the pungent smell outside.

The main passage of the palace was long, long, and there were rows of elven guards along the walls on either side, but they were not fully armed, but they wore ordinary chest armor.

I walked for a long time before I came to the throne.

Anyway, why is this palace so deep, has this mountain been completely hollowed out, or is it what magic has been used to expand the space?

"Princess Ellie Heranna"

A male voice in the middle octave, slightly noisy, very rich, sounds very formal, and also gives people a lot of pressure.

The elf sitting on the throne, if it weren't for those long ears, would look like an ordinary human.

Dressed in a cloak made of leopard skin, he did not wear anything resembling a crown, and his black hair was almost shoulder-length, and his whole hair was curly.

With a long beard and a pair of eyes slightly sunk into their sockets, he looks a little like a movie star.

He didn't wear any protective stuff, he didn't wear any jewelry, and his clothes looked very casual, as if he had completely used this place as his dormitory.

He rose from his throne and stretched out his hands.

It seems to be welcoming Ellie.

"His Majesty Tirnarok"

Elle was still sitting on my shoulder, but bowed her head to greet the king.

Speaking of which, the king doesn't seem to care too much about Elle sitting on my shoulder.

Seems rather casual......

"So"

The tone of his voice changed slightly.

"What are you asking for?"

Hey?

This question is inexplicable to us.

Even Ellie didn't understand what His Majesty meant.

"Huh?"

Ellie replied stupidly.

"So, you're not here to ask for it?"

Tirnarok stared at us with wary eyes.

"It's not"

Elle continued.

"We're just here for Mespil and want him to go back to the Dawn Mountains"

"Ha, ha, hahahahaha......"

The king laughed.

"It seems that you are not the same as your fool brother"

Brother fool, are you talking about Mespier?

Maispear is also the Elven King of the Dawn Mountains.

Even if Elle is stupid, she is still Her Royal Highness the Princess, not to mention that she is still an envoy visiting Seganger.

Wouldn't it be rude to say that Mespier was a fool in front of Ellie.

This man's arrogance and pride are exposed in this sentence.

'Who's the fool!'

Ellie scolded me inwardly and then pinched me hard.

"You're Issadur?"

The king looked at me and asked.

"Huh, yes."

"Princess Elliehana's psychic medium, I didn't expect it to be really a child"

His Majesty seems to be very well informed, but his contemptuous expression really makes me uncomfortable.

"So, let's talk about the Dawn Mountains."

Tirnarok sat down, looking like a man of power should be.

"Since you're here, please go back with Mespil as soon as possible"

"And I hope you can understand that Seganger is not an ally of the Dawn Mountains, we are just maintaining mutual non-aggression"

"So ......"

The King's gaze scanned back and forth across our faces, as if searching for the slightest change in our faces.

"I am very concerned about the fighting in the north and very sympathetic to your situation."

"However, I can't let my people venture into the forest"

I did think of taking this opportunity to join Seganger in besieging the cavemen of the ancient forest.

But it has not been officially mentioned to Elle.

And there's something wrong with this guy's rhetoric.

Unconscionable.

Seganger's geographical location is directly below the Dawn Mountains, and if part of the Dawn Mountains were to fall, it would be difficult for the Siege Mountains to preserve.

It can even be said that the reason why the cavemen did not dare to attack Seganger was precisely because of the existence of a large country such as the Dawn Mountains around.

This man turned us down before we even made a request...... I'm afraid there's something inside this.

I looked back at Liu Xiao.

The girl also turned back and looked at me with half-open eyes, as if to say, 'I think so too.'"

"I see"

Ellie suddenly changed her mind.

"We'll take care of things between the Dawn Mountains and the cavemen"

"So we can go see Mespil now, right?"

When the king heard this, he stood up for joy.

"As you wish, he is in the inn, you can take him away quickly"

Did something happen between Mespier and this guy?

My heart is full of questions.

Tirnarok waved his hand and motioned for us to go down.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Tirnarok"

Elle bowed her head slightly and said goodbye to His Majesty.
