Sitting in the luxurious carriage, looking at the scenery outside the window that changes as the altitude continues to rise, Wang Yu is still a little surprised, he can also have the opportunity to meet the king as a small person?

It's not that he has low self-esteem or anything, it's just that he feels a little fast, he has only been in this royal city for a few months, and his strength can basically only be regarded as the past.

"Probably the light of the professor and Captain Xiu Gein, if the professor still has the identity of a dragon, his status will definitely not be as simple as it seems on the face."

Wang Yu made an analysis of the reasons for this summons, and summed it up, it still came down to the identities of Zige and Xiu Geyin.

The carriage traveled on the road that carried the peak of the palace, and the peak known as the "throne" was so high that it took at least half an hour for the winding carriage to reach the top.

In this world where the highest level of physical transportation is similar to a train, this kind of exaggerated road is quite rare.

However, this seemingly troublesome mode of transportation is mainly for envoys or guests, and the wide roads and the magic crystal lanterns scattered all over the mountain peaks on both sides are also used to show Alestale's strong national strength to a large extent.

As for the way of entering and exiting the palace, although it costs a lot of money, in terms of the royal family's financial resources, the use of a large teleportation circle is also completely affordable.

The speed of the carriage gradually slowed down, and there was no need to hurry so quickly when it was almost close to the palace, and the smoke of the clouds had already appeared outside the window, and it looked foggy.

Wang Yu's eyesight is very good, he can penetrate the clouds and mist, so he can see the vague buildings of the royal city, and the scenery is really great.

"It's easy to defend and difficult to attack, it's true, but if they are all beaten to the palace, this kingdom will not be far from the dead country."

In Wang Yu's opinion, this palace built on the top of the mountain is really a bit flashy, and most of the functions are far more ornamental than practical in his opinion.

"But if the main role is to maintain the authority and high image of the royal family in the hearts of the people, it is indeed qualified, and I seem to have thought less, sometimes the role of easy defense and difficult attack is not to deal with foreign enemies, but also to my own family."

As he thought about it, the carriage had arrived near its destination, and continued to slow down little by little.

The carriage stopped, and Shoguein, Zieg, and Charles and Wang Yu stepped out of the carriage and came to the main entrance of the palace.

Evia wasn't a member of the Night's Edge Task Force after all, so she didn't come along, instead choosing to stay at home on Red Maple Street and wait.

Three groups of well-armed forbidden troops lined up in front of the main entrance of the palace, with giant swords and heavy armor, and magicians flying around the perimeter with their permanent levitation magic, this procession of gatekeepers can be regarded as an exaggeration.

A heavily armored knight who looked like he was the captain walked in front of Zieg and Xiu Gein, and after a salute, he politely asked them to show their documents, it seems that the identities of Zig and Xiu Gein are still known to many people, but the process that should be gone must be followed.

Ziggy took out the parchment, and after the knight captain handed it to a magician who fell from the sky beside him to check, he respectfully greeted the four of them, and the metal door slowly opened with a rumbling sound, revealing the interior of the magnificent hall to the four of them.

"The king is a very strong man, if you feel a lot of pressure, there is no need to resist, keep your head down and feel much better." Ziggy turned his head and reminded Wang Yu and Charles, who were here for the first time.

"Ah, this." Charles scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.

"Hmm." Wang Yu's response was much simpler, but what he cared about was that he thought that he would see the king's stand-in or a message from the air this time, but he didn't expect to see the king himself.

Don't you even think about assassinations and the like, or don't you care at all because of your absolute strength and home advantage?

The decoration of the palace is surprisingly simple, without the nouveau riche deliberately flaunting its power and wealth, and in general the word "atmospheric" can be used to describe this Alestale's palace.

The interior buildings have very high domes, and the decoration style is that kind of classical style, Wang Yu, a person who does not know what art, seems to be much better than the kind of simple bricks and stones, sculptures decorated with simple bricks and stones, and the kind of deliberately expressing the so-called artistic atmosphere full of famous paintings.

The palace, which from the outside looks as grand as Earth's Dark Souls or even other medieval games, has a similar impact on the inside.

Wide, complex, and a large number of soldiers and servants could be seen coming and going in this large palace that was easy to get lost, some patrolling, some discreet cleaning the palace with so many places to be cleaned.

Many civil servants with the distinctive medals of Alesteller officials hurried through with documents and paper with undried ink.

When he saw Ziggy and Siegin, he looked a little startled and then respectfully stopped to salute Siegin and Zieg, it seems that the status of the two in Alestaler is indeed very high, and this incident has also brought a lot of trouble to these officials to deal with.

The palace is full of busyness, and the turmoil caused by this demonic invasion is far from over, the end of the event is only the beginning, and the aftermath and recovery are only now officially underway.

There was no need for a waiter to guide the way, it was enough for Shugein and Ziggy to lead the way, and a few people walked straight down the largest walkway, and the surrounding decorations gradually became more luxurious, and more heavily armed soldiers began to appear.

The garrison was escalating, and it was clear that the four of them were approaching their destination, and the soldiers were not projecting their gaze, but Wang Yu could clearly feel the feeling of being watched.

The feeling of being watched does not only come from the soldiers who can feel strong when the light and breath leak out, but also partly from the building of the palace itself.

The magic circle embedded in the wall here is watching them all the time, and it is normal for them to want to do something here, and there is no place to die.

The parchment was shown in front of the two guards of the gate, who had clearly reached the strength of the Great Knight's guard, and the two gatekeepers pushed the heavy door open, and in front of them was the place where the king had summoned them.

The moment he followed Shugyin and Zieg in, Wang Yu caught a glimpse of the king sitting on the throne.

It was a very majestic man with a white beard, looking between middle age and old age, his eyes were slightly closed at the moment, as if he was closing his eyes to recuperate, and when the door was pushed open, his eyelids slowly raised.

Wang Yu didn't feel anything special about this king who was called a very powerful king, even if his appearance seemed to Wang Yu to be a handsome middle-aged Western man.

As for the aura brought by the majesty of the face, Wang Yu feels that he was the very serious head teacher in high school before, and his face is majestic, but if he wants to say anything else, it will be gone.

However, Wang Yu kept releasing all the time, and the ripples that were not blessed by the void with a range of three meters captured the changes in the state of the other three people of the special operations team around him.

When the door opened, all three of them shook in unison, and Schug and Zieg were only momentarily stagnant, and Charles was obvious.

On weekdays, this guy who is very happy and has nothing to be afraid of in front of his boss is a little unusually restrained at the moment.

It's not the kind of feeling that a person in a high position will be nervous because of psychological tension, in which case Charles will tremble, but now, Charles is just acting unusually "quiet", a very constrained feeling.

The head that had always been level-headed also lowered, avoiding looking at the king, and Charles's abnormal performance also made Wang Yu realize that the king did have some kind of aura, but it was just like the professor's dragon power, Wang Yu couldn't feel it and couldn't detect it.

Avoiding acting out of line, Wang Yu lowered his head like Charles's movements, and walked into the palace where the king was very "quietly".

When I walked into the palace where the king was, I could feel that there were many people standing around, presumably ministers of the palace, but as a courtesy for meeting the king, none of them could turn their heads and look around.

Zig and Xiuge should have the experience of meeting many times, Wang Yu doesn't care, this guy Xia Er should want to look around the most, but under the double pressure of etiquette and the king's aura, it is estimated that he can't have any ideas.

All four of them knelt on one knee, their hands on their chests and bowed slightly, the traditional etiquette of Alestaler was somewhat similar to that of Earth.

"Get up." The king's majestic voice sounded, and the four of them also raised their heads, judging from the subtle performance of Charles, with the king's words, that aura should have weakened a lot, at least Charles's sense of being restrained disappeared a lot.

Keeping his eyes on the look, Wang Yu noticed that among the people standing next to the King's Throne who should be of great status, there was a guy he was familiar with, Brother Garcia, Wang Yu's afterglow noticed that he was looking at him with a smile and nodded slightly.

"Your performance in this incident is very good, and I am very satisfied that the ordinary members of the Night's Blade quickly discovered the origin of this incident when they were anchored in the "Heavenly Darkness", and although they did not succeed in stopping it, the timely handling also reduced a large number of casualties and losses, I am very satisfied. ”

"Wang Yu, Charles Ryder, and Edward Leon, these three newcomers have performed very prominently in this incident."

"Your captain has reported your contributions, and then your reward will soon be handed over to you by the Minister of Finance, especially Wang Yu, and you can choose a strange object that is not a strategic level after that, this is the reward for you helping to recover a strategic level strange object."

Wang Yu was a little surprised, he recovered a strategic-level strange object? I don't know how to do it, but if there is a benefit, I just take it, and think about what to do so much.

"But there is one thing that makes me very dissatisfied, and I, Doron Charlemagne, am very dissatisfied with this—" The king's previous tone could be described as full of majesty and calm indifference, but now his tone suddenly took a sharp turn, and a deep coldness brewed in it.

A certain aura swept the audience at a certain moment, except for Wang Yu, an outlier who couldn't feel the aura, and everyone else turned pale.

Charles, who may be at the bottom of the field, and who doesn't have the experience of those ministers, almost collapsed as soon as his legs were weak.

Fortunately, the king's sudden burst of momentum lasted for a short time, otherwise it would be difficult to say how many people would have knelt on the spot.

"According to the news reported on this incident, it is not even the people of the Seventan Kingdom, nor is it some creature in the void, but our own people, the nobles of the kingdom..."

"Bernia Ryder, a member of the Ryder family, began preparing for the Demon Summoning Ritual months ago, and a large number of the inhabitants of the City Wall District were marked as materials to be transferred and completed in one day! That's what you Ryder told me? ”

The King narrowed his eyes at a man standing on the side of the palace, the current head of the Ryder family, Hazen Ryder.

"I'm sorry, but this is a serious mistake on the part of our Ryder family, and it is likely that Bonya was obscured by something or changed her view of the future, which is why she did this, and we think, most likely, the devil."

"The devil...? However, I can also see the sincerity of your Ryder family, and it seems that this matter is indeed Pernia's personal behavior at this time. ”

"Historically, with the ability of your Ryder family, it has indeed resolved a lot of dangers for the kingdom, and I won't do anything to investigate this time, but you must do what you have to do next, understand."

Doron Charlemagne thought for a moment, and then responded, seemingly casually picking up the Ryder family's question and putting it down gently.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness and trust." Haysom Ryder saluted respectfully, then stepped aside.

"Sure enough, as long as it is not a complete rebellion, it is impossible for the king to give up the special ability of the Ryder family that can save the kingdom from danger.

Wang Yu has been observing Charles's frantically changing and tangled expression when his father is being interrogated, which is a little funny, but Wang Yu has expected the Ryder family's handling of this incident.

"But the next family, I won't let go so easily, Colin Moriarty, he himself has been corrupted by the Void and has been completely reduced to an existence that needs to be swept away."

"The personal maid is also a housekeeper, Hela, involved in the theft of many strange things, and many cases of loss of strange objects are also related to her, this time with the help of Wang Yu, she recovered the heavyweight strategic curiosity of the "hourglass", so there should be no objection to Wang Yu's reward. ”

Wang Yu was a little surprised, it turned out that the guy he killed was called Hela? She actually has a strategic-level strange object, it seems that she was in too bad a state when she was attacked by him at that time, and she couldn't use it, otherwise it would not be so simple to kill her.

"At the same time, the Moriarty family's extensive inventory and search after the death of Colin Moriarty found a lot of information about the private handover and intelligence sharing with the Kingdom of Seventan, that is, the Moriarty family has committed treason..."

The king's tone was cold, and he liquidated the charges of Moriarty, a great noble family with the same theoretical status as the Ryder family.

"Thresie, McOrton, Hyde, these three families, you are also too close to the Moriarty family, this time I only give you a warning, next time you will not be let go so easily..."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Understood!"

"I promise, never!"

The heads of several named families sweated on their foreheads, and they were busy reassuring and thanking the king for his mercy.

"The hero of this investigation of Moriarty's treason is still the Special Operations Team of the Night's Blade, and the fierceness of the battle against the void creatures is obvious to all, so here is a special award to Sieg Wilsbach and Sugin Smock, the new Order of Dominion."

"Charles Ryder, in the succession of the Ryder family, from the first heir to the royal heir."

"Wang Yu, who has changed from a civilian status in his own country to be regarded as having the same status as the viscount, but does not enjoy a fief, and as compensation, his status in the Night Blade has been upgraded by the Special Operations Group by an additional level."

"Edward Leon... His father said he didn't need to give him a reward, so I didn't give anything more. ”

"Chancellor of the Exchequer!"

"In!"

"Take them and take what they deserve."

"Yes!"

After thanking the King for his generosity, the four members of the Night's Edge were led out of the palace by the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

The door closes.

The king glanced around the people present.

"With that said, I don't want to see any more Moriarty people in Alestale."

"Understood!"

"Yes."

One response after another rang out in the palace.
