Yaruf, the royal palace.

When the carriage engraved with the coat of arms of the Franzel family drove in again, Rieg visited the chalk castle again.

It's just that during this visit to the palace, Li Ge can clearly feel that the atmosphere here has changed a lot compared with the last time.

Last time, because it was a medal ceremony, Li Ge was able to meet a lot of nobles here, and saw them dressed gorgeously and rushed to the meeting, and talked happily while walking, which was an atmosphere of participating in the celebration.

But this time, the palace seemed to have become a heavily guarded fortress, and everywhere you could see groups of heavily armed knights running back and forth, hurrying and terrifying, and the whole space was filled with tension that was visible to the naked eye.

"It seems that this time it has stimulated the royal family a lot."

Rieg watched all of this as if it was none of his business, and his speech also had a sense of hanging high, and anyone could see that he was staying out of the matter.

On the contrary, it was Liz, who was a little cowering, like a thief with a weak heart, which made Li Ge very helpless.

This little princess can't hide it, right?

This picture of a weak heart is like telling others that the initiator of everything is here.

"Liz." Li Ge suddenly patted Lizzy on the shoulder and said, "Take it easy, you look like this, you would have been suspected of something if you were fine." ”

"Woo......" Liz also knew that her problem was big, and said in frustration: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." ”

"I know." Li Ge helped Lizzy massage her shoulders, feeling the girl's unexpectedly stiff shoulders, and said, "Don't think too much, just empty your head, just treat it like going home, anyway, this is your home, right?" There's no need to be so nervous. ”

"Okay, okay." Liz was pressed on the shoulder a few times by Riger, as if she did relax a little, and said embarrassedly: "I will do my best." ”

"That's good." Rieg smiled slightly, let go of Liz's shoulders, and said, "Then let's go in." ”

Lizzy nodded and walked behind Rieger as they walked forward.

Their destination was between kings.

According to Yuri, only the king, Hemulimp, knew how to enter the kingdom's treasure vault, and the rest of the people did not even know where the treasure vault was.

Including Yuri herself, she clearly claimed to have entered the treasure vault once, but she had no idea where the treasure vault was.

"I did go to a place under the king's leadership, but by the time I came to my senses, the door of the treasure vault had already appeared before my eyes."

In this way, Yuri told Rig about her experience.

Thanks to this, Rieg became more interested in the so-called treasure house, and he was eager to see what was famous in it.

And the position between the kings, Rieger, who had been here once, had long remembered.

So, even if Yuri didn't come this time, Rig knew how to go.

After some twists and turns, Rig arrived at the king's gate smoothly and came to the king's gate.

"Rige Brihaut Swordmaster is here to meet you!"

As before, a civil servant stood by the gate between the kings, and when he saw Rige, he immediately shouted to the door and asked the two knights to slowly push the gate open.

"Then, I'll wait here for my master to come out."

Liz knew that her squire couldn't go any further, and she didn't know if she felt a sigh of relief or something, and hurriedly spoke to Riege.

"Okay." Rig nodded and said, "Wait for me to come out." ”

After saying that, Rig walked into the king's house alone.

As before, nothing had changed between the kings, except that the civil officials and knights standing on either side had all disappeared this time, leaving only King Hemulimp, sitting on the throne, as if reviewing a document.

Of course, Rig knew that King Hemulimp would not be the only one here.

He glanced indistinctly at the position behind King Hemulimp before coming to the throne.

"I've seen Your Majesty."

Li Ge saluted gently, looking like an ancient well without waves.

"Coming?"

King Hemulimp also looked up from the paperwork in his hand, and looked at Rig standing below, with the same kind smile as when they first met.

He closed the paperwork in his hand, set it aside, and then spoke.

"I have to apologize to you." King Hemulimp opened with such a sentence and said to Rige: "My son has done some inappropriate and abrupt things to your family, which I have failed to supervise, and I hope that Brilhaut will forgive me once." ”

As he spoke, King Hemulimp bowed his head to Rig and apologized sincerely.

This surprised Rig.

The dignified king actually bowed his head to others and apologized?

This...... It's really interesting.

Riege's eyes flashed slightly, and his tone was still as old-fashioned.

"Your Majesty is serious." Li Ge said: "This is not your responsibility, it is just the personal behavior of the third prince, and there is no need for you to apologize to me." ”

"No, I said it, it's my lack of supervision." King Hemulimp shook his head and said, "I just indulged him too much, so he would dare to do anything, I thought that no matter how bold he was, he should know how to be proportionate, but who knew that he was so bold as to attack the relatives of the Sword Saint, this is really ......"

King Hemulimp sighed softly.

Rig didn't say anything, just watched quietly, indicating silence.

And looking at such a Lige, a thoughtful look flashed in King Hemulimp's eyes.

But soon, he recovered.

"If you really want to say anything about this attack, it is also his own fault, ignoring my grounding order, and secretly running out of the palace by himself, which can be regarded as a profound lesson for him." King Hemulip said, "I hope that Secretary Brihout will open the net and let this matter pass." ”

The implication of King Hemulimp is very simple, he is telling Rig that Sorok is miserable enough, and he should not care about what he has done, right?

"That's nature." Li Ge said in a calm tone: "Since I have come here, it means that I have no intention of continuing to pursue it." ”

How true and false these words are, only Li Ge himself knows.

At least, King Hemulimp couldn't hear it.

He had to look deeply at Riege and say something.

"That's fine." King Hemulimp said, "In compensation, I will take you to the treasure trove of the kingdom's pride, and let you choose a treasure there." ”

"In my country, there are not many people who have this opportunity, even the children of the royal family have no chance to enter, only those who have made great contributions to the kingdom and have played a great role will be allowed to enter it and choose a treasure."

"For example, the Marquis of Franzel, you know, she got a chance to enter it after becoming a strategic magician, sitting on the position of marquis, and becoming the chief court magician."

"There is also the Zhenguan Sword Saint who is now guarding the border, who has worked hard and has been defending the country, and has also been allowed to enter the treasure house once."

"Another strategic-level magician of our country has also entered the treasure vault once, and the sword master of the Borlei family, who is the head of the Knights of the Kingdom, has also entered the treasure vault once."

"Apart from them, there are no more than five people in the entire kingdom who can enter the treasure house."

Speaking of this, King Hemulimp's tone was full of incitement.

"If Brihaut is willing to serve the kingdom, it's not like he can't go in again in the future."

This is simply the drunkard's intention not to drink.

"Really?" As if he didn't understand, Li Ge smiled faintly: "Since that's the case, then I have to take a good look at it." ”

"Let's go, then." Seeing this, King Hemulimp also seemed to have no deep meaning, and said, "I will take you there now." ”

As the words fell, King Hemulimp stood up from his throne, picked up the sword that was leaning aside, and walked step by step in front of Rige.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, King Hemulimp struck the floor with his sword, causing a loud thud.

At that moment, the floor cracked.

Yes.

Under the knock of King Hemulimp, the floor suddenly parted like a trap.

Rig and Hemulimp fell off the ground, completely out of balance.

“………！”

Rieger's eyes froze, and just as he was about to make a move, King Hemulimp's voice came to his ears.

"Don't resist, follow me."

King Hemulimp opened his hand in front of Rige and signaled that he was also completely relaxed and did not put up any resistance.

Staring at King Hemulimp like this, Rig was silent, but he gave up on making a move, and let himself fall.

This process did not last long.

When Rig and King Hemulimp fell to a certain position, a watery mist rose and enveloped them.

It was at this moment that King Rig and King Hemulimp stopped falling, suspended in the fog as if they were floating in water.

After a while, Rig felt that he was moving.

"...... this?"

Rig looked around, his expression surprised.

The surrounding area is full of vapor-like fog, and people can't see what's going on around them, let alone which direction they're moving.

Rig tried to use the transparent world, and found that the fog actually had the effect of hindering the five senses and blocking exploration.

Thanks to this, Rig not only did not see through the fog, but he didn't even know which direction he was moving, so he could only float passively, like a leaf drifting with the waves, losing his freedom.

"This is a magical substance called [Mist of Nothing], and the conditions for its formation are very harsh."

King Hemulimp's voice reached Rige's ears again.

"It will take us to the treasure house, don't resist, just wait quietly."

Hearing this, Li Ge didn't nod or make a sound, just waited in silence.
