Chapter 32: The Audience

Before you know it, King Altalia is already close at hand.

Dongfang Mu was a little surprised to find that this royal capital was no longer the same as he remembered, what he and the poor girl built back then was just a classical city-state made of bricks and stones, and now it has become a magnificent city paved with marble.

Dongfang Mu, who was full of emotion, walked to the city gate and found that there were already people waiting there.

"Hello Alvin Cavendish of the Golden Thirteen, it seems that you have been doing a lot of business lately."

Standing in front of the city gate was a female knight dressed in gorgeous armor that did not belong to Alvin, with a group of red horses under her crotch, looking heroic.

Alvin, who was in front of Dongfang Wood, immediately responded: "Catalia Vanpur, the Golden Thirteen, you are also very serious. ”

Judging from the eyes of the two, although they are both gold-level knights, the two seem to be a little bit at odds.

"Alright, give them to me right here." Said a female knight named Catalia.

Judging by Alvin's expression, he was clearly reluctant.

Catalia frowned and said, "Alvin, don't forget, although you are the young master of the Cavendish family, you are also the king's knight!" ”

The expression on Alvin's face changed for a while, and he said, "After all, I brought the person back, so it's okay for me to hand it over to you, but you have to promise me one condition." ”

Catalia said patiently, "What conditions?" ”

"Borrow a step to speak."

Alvin pulled her aside, avoided the others, and talked in a whisper for a while, and after a long time, the two of them returned together.

After coming back, there was no more nonsense, Catalia nodded directly to Dongfang Mu and said, "Follow me." And he led them into the city.

Horses were not allowed in the city, and Catalia dismounted, and as she went, she said to Dongfang Mu and Nia, "Stranger, you are lucky, the king wants to see you." ”

Nia couldn't help but say, "Luckily he's right, right?" ”

"What did you say?"

Dongfang Mu glared at Nia, motioned for her not to talk nonsense, turned back to Catalia and said, "It's nothing. May I ask what is the matter with the king's summoning of us? ”

Catalia shrugged, "You know, you're from the other side of the Misty Forest, let alone the king, and I'm curious about your experience. ”

Along the way, Catalia told Dongfang Mu a lot about the etiquette of meeting the king, whose castle was located in the center of the city, and soon arrived.

Catalia finally admonished him: "Be careful, be careful in what you say and do, if the king asks, you will answer, and if you don't ask, don't talk freely!" ”

Dongfang Mu nodded: "Understood." ”

The three of them climbed the stairs, turned around, and finally came to the palace hall.

After waiting for a long time, the king in the red cloak came to the palace, and several high-ranking courtiers were also lined up on both sides, and Catalia, as a high-ranking knight, did not leave the palace, but stood on the side of the aisle.

The name of this generation of kings is Luin, the son of the previous king of Kambi, and the grandnephew of the first king. The first king had no children for life, the second king was her nephew, and King Louin was the third.

Dongfang Mu carefully examined King Luin's face, and unfortunately did not find a shadow of his aunt's face.

"I have a lot of things to do, so I'll make a long story short." King Luin spoke quickly, with a vigorous and resolute tone, "You are strangers from the other side of the Misty Forest, tell me about your situation there, and the situation in the Misty Forest. ”

Dongfang Mu nodded, and then began to narrate what he had said he had said I don't know how many times.

He told the king that there were many strange civilizations on the other side of the Misty Forest that did not believe in gods, and that these civilizations were far less powerful than Altalia; The "demonic beasts" in the misty forest are actually some low-intelligence beasts, as long as they clean up the camp step by step, they can all be wiped out and open up the way out of the forest; The area on the other side of the forest is vast, and I don't know how many times larger than Altalia......

The king nodded again and again, then turned to the man standing beside him and asked, "Kane, what do you think of the fact that you are also an astrologer of the court?" ”

A young-looking man dressed in a church-style robe said: "Back to Your Majesty, through my observation of the stars and my investigation of geography, I think that the world we live in may be spherical, and if we judge according to the information we have observed so far, the world is indeed much larger than Altalia, to be precise, Altalia is only a very small corner of the world......

Lu Yin stroked his beard, groaned for a while, and said, "If what you said is true, then it is indeed necessary to go east out of the Misty Forest, if we don't go, the enemy will also come......"

"Exactly, Your Majesty." An elderly knight spoke up, "The old minister has said many times that the disappearance of the fog is not only an opportunity, but also a challenge to our country. ”

It can be seen that the people who can stand here are the king's henchmen and close ministers, and this team looks like that, but Dongfang Mu always feels ...... Too little.

Just a few courtiers are completely unable to effectively govern the country.

Dongfang Mu vaguely remembered that since the beginning of this country, a whole set of governing teams had been brought by herself, and the king had no substantial restraint on the power of the courtiers below, and the root of the bane may have been planted from that time.

No wonder the country relies on the aristocracy to run the world.

Dongfang Mu Wu was in a fugue, and the king and the ministers in the palace had been discussing it for a while. When he came to his senses, he heard that the king and his courtiers had already discussed the boundaries, and he coughed loudly twice.

With this cough, the discussion in the temple stopped.

Behind him, Catalia hurriedly winked at Dongfang Mu, but he didn't see it at all, and said slowly: "With all due respect, the oracle has been passed down a few days ago, why do you still need to discuss whether to act according to the oracle today?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the entire king's hall fell silent.

Below the king, the expressions on everyone's faces are unpredictable.

Although Dongfang Mu has been stopping Nia from going berserk, he actually has an evil fire that is not easy to detect.

Maybe he's going to run out of the way.

He continued: "This country was founded by God and is justified according to God's instructions, so do you need to discuss and discuss? ”

The king's face was ugly, and he was silent for a while, and then said, "War is not something I can fight if I want to. ”

"Your Majesty is merciful." The old knight hurriedly said.

The king waved his hand to Dongfang Mu and said, "I have already understood your report, Catalia, you can take him down first." ”

"Wait a minute," Dongfang Mu stepped forward, "There is one more thing, my ancestors are from Altalia, and since I have returned to China this time, I hope to be able to apply for the official identity documents of Altalia for me and my partner." ”

Lein pressed his fingers to his temples and said, "Yes." ”

Dongfang Mu said: "In addition, professionally speaking, I am an adventurer, and I hope you can arrange for me to enter the adventurer association in the royal capital." ”

Lu Yin said, "You go and apply to the Adventurers' Association for this, and they will accept it." ”

Ignoring Catalia's desperate gestures, Dongfang Mu continued: "Also, when you decide to send troops, I hope to be included in the expedition team. ”

Lu Yin said helplessly: "This, let's talk about it then." ”

Thus, the audience ended successfully.

Walking out of the palace, Catalia, with an iron face, spoke: "If you want to die, you should go find a river, instead of scaring me to death first." ”

"I don't want to die yet." Dongfang Mu said lightly.

Catalia collapsed: "Didn't I tell you all the etiquette of the audience?" You didn't listen at all? Also, the way you talk to the king is so rude! I admire Your Majesty's self-cultivation, if it were me, I might have ordered you to be locked up on the spot! ”

Dongfang Mu glanced at her indifferently: "Come on, you can't do it." ”

"How can't you do it? That's the king! ”

Dongfang Mu said as he walked: "I just ask the king to perform his few duties, if he wants to arrest me, naturally someone will want to protect me, and may also take advantage of this to make the king a little stumbling, and he will be the one who will be uncomfortable at that time." ”

Catalia froze.

Dongfang Mu stopped and said to Catalia, "Your king, has he been set aside?" ”
