26. Playing is an act of elegance
In the end, Xuan threw down Yu who had been crying loudly, "Your Majesty, those are demons and demons!", and very decisively called Lucifer and Lilith to ** alone.
Although all the officials in the hall raised objections without exception, Xuan only came with a sentence of "I have made up my mind". He shut everyone's mouths. It seems that Xuan's majesty in their hearts has reached the point of being unshakable.
For the "foreign people" who carried out such destruction on the top of the majestic hall, Xuan was still not angry, I am afraid that this is what Lucifer called "the quirks of the high-ranking people". They are accustomed to seeing people who bow down to their ears, and when they occasionally meet a character who is doing the opposite, they will have great interest. I'm afraid it's even more so for the people around who don't even dare to say a word of opposition.
"I have received a report that there are more than a dozen foreigners, and there are still foreigners who have not come down from the ship parked in the harbor. After taking Lilith Feather Lucifer for a while, in fact, Xuan unilaterally led the way, Xuan suddenly turned around, "Why are you two the only ones who came to the main hall today?"
Wow, in fact, if you look closely, this emperor named Xuan is really cute. Because of regional differences, the clothes worn by the people here are basically robes, and the robes that Xuan wears are dragged to the ground because they are too big, which is really a plus for her.
"Lilith ......"
"Ah, ahem. Well, there are more than 30 of us. In this case, Lilith naturally did not reply with the words "Actually, there are four demons in it", "We are here as representatives, and the rest of the people are ...... By the way, what about the man who was captured by your men yesterday!?"
“...... Man. Ah, you mean him?"
Looking in the direction of Hyun's finger, Lilith suddenly spotted Asmon sitting in the gazebo taking a leisurely nap.
Didn't this guy follow that feather yesterday?
"Last night Yu brought him to me and wanted me to reward this man to her, but unfortunately I refused. After that, I'll put this man here for the time being. ”
"What does that mean?" Lilith tilted her head, "Didn't Yu take her?"
"Everything in the world is mine!"
[Kill] (Don't make trouble)
Such a domineering emperor, even the Ivan Emperor of his own country, did not dare to say such a thing.
After letting out the bold words, Xuan turned around: "You have just arrived, I have no reason to treat you badly, you companions who have come with you, call them here together." Just let you see the power of my empire, and I also want to know about the end of the sea. A year ago, when the empire was stable, I was ready to set sail and explore the end of the sea, but Yu was forced to die, using words such as "Overseas is the sea, and outside the sky is the sky." "This kind of gibberish prevents me from sailing, and this time your arrival must have made her lose face. ”
No, this unconvincing statement must have been due to Yu trying to hide the fact that she would actually get seasick.
Soon, that night, except for the shipwrights who had to stay on the ship anyway to prevent accidents when they returned, the rest of the ten people were all politely but dignified into the palace.
And when she saw her bedroom, Lilith not only sighed at how rich the capital of the country was. Generally speaking, bedrooms are inhabited for comfort and sophistication, but the place where Xuan lets himself live shows off its scale as if to show off.
Big but not empty, not to mention the bed that won't fall down even a few rolls on it, there is nothing around the whole room that makes people feel like a piece is missing. The two maid-like people really stood outside with their heads bowed and waited, and the people in the room could shout and call them at any time if there was anything.
As for Asmon's words, Xuan was very "intimate" and arranged two men for him outside the door.
It's a good hospitality, but it's always a little too nervous. According to what Kaoru Ji said, Xuan has always been like this, emphasizing his coercion and atmosphere all the time.
Why does it sound like a child, desperately trying to prove his maturity to anyone?
After experiencing a never-before-seen "wooden basin" rose bath, Lilith, with her hair draped, began to wander around the main hall where she might get lost if she was not careful.
Although the people here do not use magic for lighting, the inner city does not appear dark at night, and the candle flame that is clearly thought to be lit forms a blazing candlelight. This kind of candle does not burn for long, and in order to keep the light on, someone must change it regularly, and these guards, who are obviously obligatory, show no irritability.
On the contrary, they seemed to be proud, proud to be able to stay here and do this job for the Emperor.
In the light of a candlelight, Lilith spotted Lucifer, who had also changed into a wide robe, sitting across from Xuan, who seemed to have just finished bathing, looking at the things on the table. The majesty of Xuanyuan, who had just come out of the bath, had decreased a lot, and only showed some when he frowned.
For Lilith approaching, the two of them didn't even notice it, on the contrary, their eyes were completely focused on the chessboard on the table at this time.
That's probably a chessboard, but the chess pieces on it are like I've never seen before, I'm afraid, this is a way to entertain this continent. And Lucifer, who has been active in the Western Continent, actually seems to have a hand on this kind of thing, is it because he has been exposed to it before?
"I see, after reading your moves, I can understand the essence of this game. ”
"Decisive killing, good control, is it really your first game?" Xuan's eyes blinked, "Bullying the king is a capital crime. ”
"Eat the child, will. ”
Lucifer didn't answer, but used his actions to directly shut up Xuan.
After thinking about the chessboard for a while, Xuan moved his "general": "You must have commanded the army, and there are many of them. ”
"Of course. Lucifer laughed, "Surely more than you've ever ruled, and more than twice as much." ”
"I confess this, I am inferior to you in terms of domination. However, if you are too hasty in your march and quick success, you will inevitably have a great defeat. ”
This mystery is that after playing a game in less than one game, Lucifer's old bottom has been roughly figured out? Or is there something strange about this game?
"I'm not handsome, and besides, this kind of handsomeness who can't rush into battle is not suitable for me. As for the big defeat, it was because of bad luck. ”
"Who's that handsome...... She?"
Xuan frowned, as if he was a little dissatisfied, "A character like you can ...... it"
"If you don't know about other people, don't talk nonsense. Lucifer said as he dropped again, "You're going to make this step, you're going to die, and now I've finally won a game." ”
“...... I'm afraid I won't be able to win against you in the future. Xuan stood up a little helplessly and yawned slightly.
After all, unlike a child pretending to be like Dean Frey, Hyun is a real little girl, and it is normal for her to be sleepy at night at this age of development.
However, just as Hyun said goodbye to the two and was about to leave, a trace of strangeness in the sky caught her attention.
"What's wrong?"
Lilith asked, "What's the matter?"
“......”
"Don't look, there's black smoke there. ”
Lucifer said it directly, but this time, Xuan's already nervous expression became more urgent, "It's the black smoke that only comes from burning wood, anyway, don't your subordinates set the house on fire, right?"
“...... There, it's a treasure trove!"
The treasure vault is on fire?
Wait a minute...... Treasure trove!?
Could it be Mammon......
Xuan, whose face gradually turned pale, immediately grabbed the sword on the table: "There may be some thieves who don't know how to be polite tonight, let's go back first." I'm going to see for myself. ”
"Wait...... You're too slow like this. ”
Worried that if it was really Mammon who was making a small mistake, things would get worse, Lilith hurriedly grabbed Xuan, "You're going too slow like this, let Lucifer take us." ”
