Chapter 525: The Palace
In the royal palace of the Kingdom of Xidan, King Lodru wore a purple and gold crown and sat high on the throne, staring at Princess Floi who knelt on the ground under His Royal Highness.
For this daughter, King Lodru still likes it very much, if it weren't for the aggressiveness of the Xiwei Kingdom this time, he would not have thought of using this method to stabilize the Xiwei Kingdom.
After a long time, King Lodru sighed and said slowly: "Floi, the kingdom is now in a difficult situation, and the voice of annexing my Xidan Kingdom is rising in the Xiwei Kingdom, which is very unfavorable to my Xidan Kingdom......"
King Lodru was about to persuade Princess Floy, but Floy raised her head sharply and said with a calm expression: "Father, this time I went out, I met six powerful Sky Knights, and they have a way to deal with the paladins of the Xiwei Kingdom!"
"Huh, six Sky Knights?"
King Lodru was also shocked, and he quickly looked at the six strange men behind Floy, all of whom looked quite young, but had a unique aura that made him feel as if he was facing the kingdom's legionnaires.
King Lodru looked at Ziwei, and Ziwei also nodded slightly, proving that what Princess Floi said was true, so King Lodru immediately greeted him with a smile, and the king naturally couldn't ask for six Sky Knights to serve in the Xidan Kingdom.
"Six powerful Sky Knights, welcome to the Kingdom of Xidan, I can canonize the six of you as Grand Dukes!"
King Lodru did not skimp on the title, and directly named Merlin and other six great dukes, which is the highest title except for the king, several legion commanders in the Xidan Kingdom. The same Sky Knight. His titles are also Grand Dukes.
Merlin and the others did not refuse. This is what they have discussed a long time ago, they must gain a firm foothold in the Xidan Kingdom, and it is best to be able to integrate into the Xidan Kingdom, and becoming the Grand Duke of the Xidan Kingdom is undoubtedly the best way to integrate into the Xidan Kingdom.
Subsequently, Merlin and the others were arranged into the palace, and they could stay in the palace temporarily.
"Ziwei, what the hell is going on?"
Wait until Merlin and the others are gone. King Lodru called the Purple Guard over and asked in a deep voice.
Ziwei hesitated for a moment, and then did not hide it, and told the appearance of Merlin and the others in detail, but later the conspiracy between Merlin and the others and Princess Floy, Ziwei did not know what to do.
"Six powerful Sky Knights who suddenly appeared, Floi said that they can deal with paladins, I wonder if it's true? Sky knights against paladins, do you think it's possible?"
King Lodru frowned, a little undecided. If Merlin and the others really have the ability to deal with paladins, then the Xidan Kingdom does not need to be inferior to the Xiwei Kingdom.
As for the origin of Merlin and others. King Lodru didn't care much, in recent decades, some paladins have suddenly appeared in various kingdoms, many of whom were unknown before, and Merlin and the other six people, as long as they are helpful to the Xidan Kingdom, then it will be fine, and there is no need to know the origin of the road.
Ziwei looked very calm, and she said softly: "Your Majesty, can the six grand dukes deal with the paladins, can you gather a few legion commanders and let them know the way with a try?"
After being reminded by the purple guard, King Lodru also patted his forehead, yes, there are also four sky knights in the Xidan Kingdom, let them try it and find out.
"Okay, Ziwei, you still go and watch Princess Floy to make sure that she doesn't escape from the palace again during this time, and I will immediately recall the four legion leaders. ”
With that, King Lodru waved his hand and let the purple guard leave, and the hall fell silent again, and King Lodru's face also showed a trace of exhaustion.
At this moment, King Lodru didn't notice that there was a trace of ripples like water in the air, which quickly disappeared, and in another spacious room, in front of Merlin and the others, there was a picture of King Lodru's conversation with Ziwei just now.
Rael waved his hand and removed the picture in front of him, this is a small spell of Rael, but this spell is also very practical, but it is okay for ordinary people, if it is a powerful spellcaster, the first time you will find that there are elemental fluctuations, and it has no effect.
Seeing that King Lodru in the picture has recalled the captains of the four major legions, all of whom are real Sky Knights, he obviously wants to test whether Merlin and the other six really have the strength to compete with the paladins.
This is also the first step of Merlin and others' plan to gain the trust of King Lodru and gain a firm foothold in the Kingdom of Hedan.
"We have taken the first step to gain a firm foothold in the Kingdom of Hedan, and as for the investigation of the paladin, we will have to wait until we have established ourselves before we consider it. ”
Master Satyan said slowly, coming to the Xiling plane, although it seems that the people here have no strength to threaten them, but there are rock clans hiding behind the scenes, they must also keep a low profile, and it is always right to be cautious.
"Master Sat'an, how do we deal with those four legion leaders? They are all the so-called Sky Knights of this plane, maybe the Purple Guard can't see the difference between us and the real Sky Knights, and even if there are doubts, they are only some doubts, not sure. But if these four true Sky Knights are there, then they will definitely be able to see that our strength is completely different from theirs, and then it will be troublesome. ”
Merlin asks a question.
"It's simple, just use a puppet to fight. ”
Mage Vic spoke suddenly, and then he quickly took out a puppet from the space, this puppet was very tall and burly, but it was still roughly a normal human shape. And the puppet is covered with a pitch-black armor, and leaning on this armor, it gives a cold feeling.
"Use a puppet? This is a good idea! I just wonder if this puppet is comparable to a ninth-level spellcaster?"
Puppets are almost the same as people, and they don't need to release spells, with their own absolute strength, this is similar to the cultivation system of the Xiling plane, although there is no unique fighting spirit of the Xiling plane, but this is not important, it is a big deal, it is a unique cultivation method, I believe that those sky knights do not dare to investigate deeply.
The final question is whether this puppet can defeat those Sky Knights, the Sky Knights of the Xiling Plane are all comparable to seventh-level spellcasters, and if they are some powerful Sky Knights, they can even be comparable to ninth-level spellcasters!
Vic smiled and said mysteriously: "Master Merlin, this puppet is my hole card, before entering the Upanishads, my mentor spent hundreds of years refining it, and when necessary, this puppet can also briefly burst out with a strength comparable to that of an archmage." ”
Merlin felt a pang in his heart, this is Vic's hole card, it is such a puppet, but it hides an amazing amount of power, which can be compared to the archmage in a short time.
However, in Merlin's opinion, I'm afraid that Vic Mage still has some reservations, this puppet will only be more powerful, and Merlin was originally worried that if those paladins were stronger, or if they encountered some strong people in the rock clan, it would be more troublesome.
Now it seems that the hole cards on these demon mages are far beyond Merlin's imagination.
"Okay, now that we have this puppet, let's do what we do. ”
So, Merlin and the other six people stayed in the palace, and they were usually very low-key, and they didn't see anyone, just walked around the palace at will.
In the garden of the royal palace, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and Merlin and Vic Mage, dressed as knights, sit quietly on the stone bench in the garden, enjoying the scenery in the garden.
Several legion commanders of the Xidan Kingdom have not yet arrived at the palace for the time being.
"There are no gods in this Xiling plane?"
Merlin asked the mage Vic, he thought it was strange, gods are usually born in the plane, but in the kingdom of Hedan, there is no trace left by the gods, and there are not even some books that record it.
Mage Vic shook his head slightly and said, "Before coming to the Xiling Plane, I deliberately looked up some information in the Upanishads City, so I know some information. In fact, of course, there are gods in the Xiling plane, and they are very powerful, but thousands of years ago, due to the special position of the Xiling plane, the top powerhouses of the rock clan and our spellcaster civilization made a move, we dispatched a supreme arcane mage, and the rock clan also dispatched the most powerful ancestor of the rock clan, and the two sides joined forces to destroy the gods in the Xiling plane almost silently. ”
Merlin's heart was shocked, it was equivalent to two supreme arcane mages making a move, and the gods in the Xiling plane were quietly destroyed.
Merlin didn't speak again, but covered the entire palace with his spiritual power, and extended out of the palace, covering almost half of the royal capital.
He could clearly see that in the royal capital, people's hearts were fluctuating, and almost all the streets and alleys were talking about the paladin born in the Xiwei Kingdom, and the words revealed worries about the Xidan Kingdom.
"Vic Mage, look, these people are worried about the fate of the Xidan Kingdom, but as everyone knows, their fate has long been controlled by the Rock Clan and us. ”
Merlin said silently, the entire Xiling plane is just a buffer zone between the rock clan and the spellcaster civilization, this plane cannot give birth to a legendary-level powerhouse at all, and it will never be able to step into the void realm, so naturally it will not be able to get rid of the fate of being controlled by the two major civilizations.
"Yes, they will never know the way, their fate has long been controlled, what is the point of a kingdom being destroyed, or a strong kingdom being born? This is the sad place of weak civilizations, since we spellcasters banished the gods of the land of glory and stepped into the realm of nothingness, we have seen many powerful civilizations, and deeply understand that if we do not strengthen ourselves, our spell caster civilization will eventually end up with the same results as these weak civilizations. ”
Master Vic said with emotion, Merlin vaguely understood the reason why the three Supreme Mystery Mages took the lead and asked the great legends to sign the Legendary Covenant and create the Three Great Mystery Cities.
All of them are to reduce the self-consumption within the caster and continuously increase the overall strength of the caster's civilization.
"Merlin, Vic, come to the palace hall, the four legions of the Hedan Kingdom have arrived. ”
Master Sat'an's voice suddenly appeared in the ears of the two of them, and the two looked at each other with a grim expression, and then quickly walked towards the main hall of the palace.
