，

After a night's rest, Char didn't sleep well this night, I don't know why, the mysterious samurai he met during the day always appeared in his dreams, and in his sleep, he recalled countless times the suffocating sense of oppression that that guy brought to him. Char woke up twice more in the middle of the night, and each time she woke up, she couldn't help but feel depressed.

In the heart of the turtle, his self-esteem was a little touched, and he remembered that he was powerless to resist when facing that guy during the day today--when he stood in front of the mysterious warrior at that time, he was like an ant at the feet of a giant, and with a slight rash move, the other party could easily wipe himself out...... That feeling of powerlessness made Char feel very sorry in his heart, and he had a faint feeling of humiliation.

In the morning, Char got up very early, sat at the head of the bed, and suddenly saw the fire fork placed beside him, reached out and picked it up, and held it in his hand.

The heavy and cold feel of the fire fork dispelled some of the depression in Char's heart.

"Still too weak......" Char said to herself, "I'm too weak." But...... How can I become stronger......"

Originally, I wanted to wait for the day when Ruer came over and ask the fat man about the mysterious warrior master, but after waiting for a morning, General Rabbit did not show up, and the Ruer guards who stayed here did not know.

Char went to visit Yulia who lived in it again, and talked with Yulia who was depressed for a while, and when it was almost noon, suddenly someone outside came to report that a messenger had come to the palace.

Char immediately walked out of the door, and saw the gate of the courtyard, with a respectful smile on his face, and led a middle-aged man in. A carriage was parked outside the courtyard gate, and several samurai in silver sè armor stood on either side with axes.

The middle-aged man was dressed in a linen gray robe, wearing a ridiculously fat pants underneath, and a layer of powder on his face, which looked a little frighteningly white, with a little arrogance on his face, his head slightly raised, but he pointed his nostrils at the person. The man walked in with his hands on his shoulders, ignoring Tataro next to him, coughing, but speaking in a very strange voice...... Let's put it this way, it's obviously a very hoarse voice, but the tone has a weird sharpness.

"What about Char's thunder?" The palace envoy saw the turtle walking out of the door, swept his eyes, squinted his eyes and said, "Well, is that you?"

Char nodded, greeted him, and looked at the envoy from the palace. I suddenly remembered something - I once heard the fat man say that many of the attendants in the palace were castrated men...... Thinking of this thought, the turtle's eyes couldn't help but glance at the man's crotch, but the pants were fat, and there was nothing to see from the appearance, but the lips and chin of the man were clean and slippery, without a beard.

"His Majesty the Holy Emperor has an order, Char Thundering, you should immediately follow me to meet Your Majesty. ”

The court envoy's tone was very arrogant, he snorted, but he took out a handkerchief and shook it, wiped his nose and the corners of his mouth, and frowned: "Why are you staring at me like this! Go and change your clothes! You look so sloppy, how can you meet Your Majesty!"

Duoduoluo next to him couldn't help but laugh, and quickly turned around, Char glared and looked at his clothes, although he had two beautiful clothes, but when he went out the day before yesterday, he was smashed by those sneak attack guys and had already thrown them away.

"This ...... This is already my best dress. Char scratched his hair: "That...... His Majesty the Emperor is going to see me now?"

"Then there can be a fake!Come with me!" the palace envoy shook his head.

When Char followed him out, he heard the court envoy snort in a low voice: "Dirty hillbilly ......"

Char wasn't angry, but his eyes inevitably swept around the crotch of the palace envoy, and he couldn't help but feel a little weird when he saw too much.

The carriage outside was not for Char to ride, and the palace envoy got into the carriage. Char, on the other hand, could only obediently lead his horse, join the team, and go all the way to the palace.

The palace is located in the northeast corner of the city, and all the way through the city, in front of the procession are court guards in silver sè armor riding horses and axes to open the way, and everywhere they go, the pedestrians on the road dodge far away and give way to the road.

Char followed the team, looking left and right, but found that the pedestrians on the road cast awe-inspiring eyes, but there were mostly fearful elements, but there was very little respect.

The royal palace of Osgilia was first built in the place where the country was founded, and it was originally just a castle, and after thousands of years of expansion by successive emperors, it has formed a huge palace complex, which is also recognized as the most magnificent and huge palace complex on the mainland.

When I walked to the east of the city, I saw a round castle spire in the distance, with the imperial flag fluttering on it, and the open road was flat and neat, and in front of the castle was a ten-meter-wide water canal, which surrounded the entire palace and formed a city within a city. The castle was only the entrance to the palace, and after crossing the drawbridge, on both sides of the bridge stood court guards wearing bright red robes, armed with long axes and guns, and passed through the gate under the castle before entering the inner square of the palace.

Seeing the buildings in front of him, one after another, the majestic palaces were endless, forming a palace group that looked extremely grand, which made Char's eyes widen immediately.

The palace envoy also got out of the carriage and glanced at Char: "What are you still doing on the horse? Hurry down and follow me, don't look around, don't walk around." ”

Char had wanted to take a closer look at the legendary palace, but after passing through several corridors and around several huge buildings and palaces, the turtle soon found himself lost.

This place is so big, and it's ...... It's too deserted.

On the road, I only saw a group of palace guards wearing jīng good armor patrolling the occasional group, and I saw a few court attendants from a distance, walking quickly with their heads down, full of caution. Besides...... What makes Char a little strange is that in this huge palace, in addition to the solemn majesty brought by these majestic buildings, more than that, it brings people a sense of lifelessness!

Yes - lifeless!

The reliefs on the buildings are extravagant, the frescoes on the walls are stunning, and even some of the pillars are covered in gold.

After passing through one corridor after another, the air was filled with the fragrance of spices. But this strange aroma made Char can't help but cover her nose.

This lifeless place, this scent, but he couldn't help but think of the smell of the shroud...... After walking for a long time, Char suddenly realized why he felt dead here!

The squares, the halls, the corridors...... There are frescoes, there are reliefs, there are statues...... However, there are no plants! not a single tree, the floor is neatly paved with stone slabs, and the corridors are covered with jīng tiles and even marble.

But only I can't see a little dirt, and I don't have a little bit of green!

Solemn, solemn, solemn, solemn...... But all this is too much, but it makes people feel like this place is ......"Hmph, no matter how luxuriously decorated, it just looks like a big tomb." ”

The turtle sneered in his heart.

※※※ The last thing to see is that the legendary Byzantine Emperor is having lunch.

It was a large room in the shape of a large round arch, and after entering a circular building, Char waited for a while in the palatial hall before the messenger finished reporting and told him that he could enter.

The two solemn young attendants, both dressed in gray linen robes, cautiously pushed open a door made of red copper, and Char walked in.

This is a restaurant, and in the huge dining room, Char took a cursory glance, and it can accommodate at least hundreds of people. But in such a large room, there is only one table.

The fire of the fireplace was blazing, a soft bearskin was laid on the ground, and even the fence in front of the fireplace was golden.

The current emperor of the empire, Kantos the Great, was sitting behind the only table in the room, he hung a napkin on his chest, and held a silver knife in his hand, when Char walked in, the emperor was seriously cutting a piece of bloody beef, and a few drops of the blood that spilled out even fell on the snow-white napkin on his chest.

The room was quiet, the emperor didn't look up, just continued to eat, behind him, there was a middle-aged man, the man was standing in the corner of the wall, quiet as a shadow.

Even before Char's eyes noticed him, he didn't feel that there was one more person in this room. Even if he really saw this person, for a moment, Char had an illusion: as if the person standing there was really a shadow, not a living person. This guy ...... There is no trace of life in the whole body.

Ordinary appearance, ordinary dress, head down, hands naturally hanging, even the eyes are half-open and half-closed, and the eyes are so dim that there is no trace of brilliance.

This is a strange feeling, but the impression of such a guy on Char is much stronger than the original protagonist in the room, His Majesty the Emperor.

Peeking at the emperor, the emperor of the empire looked very old, the wrinkles on his face were piled up high, layer by layer, his figure looked very burly, but he was a little thinner, just like an old lion, but at this moment it has been described as withered, although the skeleton is still wide, but the black silk robe with gold rim on his body seems to be hanging on a bamboo pole.

Kantos ignored Char, continued to patiently cut a piece of bloody beef, and sent a small piece into his mouth, fully feeling the fishy smell of the tender and raw meat, and the emperor breathed a sigh of relief.

He had always liked to eat meat in this way, a habit he had developed from his military career in his youth, although the medical officers of the court had repeatedly advised that such a habit was not good for the health of His Majesty.

The tongue sucked the taste of blood to the fullest, and the Great Kantos finally raised his head and looked at the young man standing not far in front of him.

A complicated smile appeared on the face of the Spear Emperor, as he noticed that Char did not kneel, but stood there straight, and there was not much panic or nervousness in the gods. Opposite...... It was the pure gold candlestick on the table that attracted the young man's attention.

"Do you like it?" the Emperor began.

"Uh...... What?" Char was stunned for a moment.

"This candlestick, you've been looking at it. "Emperor Kantos dropped his knife and picked up a silver cup, the cup was bright red wine, and he took a sip, and the wine that remained in the corner of his mouth was like red blood.

Char was a little embarrassed, he smiled wryly, he didn't dare to look at the candlestick again, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Hell, this candlestick is really big...... It must weigh several pounds, I don't know if it's pure gold...... "When you leave, you can take it with you, it's my reward for you." The Emperor dropped his glass and removed the napkin from his chest.

"Uh...... Huh?" Char was overjoyed, and his face naturally showed a little joy: "Really give it to me?"

Kantos smiled, and he was starting to like the stunned boy a little - at least, he should be simpler and easier to control.

Simplicity...... If the fat man Ruhr or Tatara heard the emperor's heart, they would definitely want to hit the wall...... After the emperor smiled, his face returned to seriousness: "You are Char Thundering." ”

"I am!" Char puffed out his chest.

"When you see me, you don't mean to be too respectful. There was a mocking look in Kantos' eyes.

"Uh......" The turtle thought for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and actually said an answer that he didn't even expect - he shouldn't have talked to the emperor like this, but it seemed that the emperor didn't seem too difficult to get along with, "Well, because, I'm not a Byzantine." ”

The implication is that I am not your subject, so there is no need to fear you.

"......" Kantos was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then couldn't help but laugh a few times, after laughing, he looked at Char and nodded: "Yes, I have read your information, you grew up in the wildfire field, and temporarily joined our army before this war." Well...... From now on, though, you're already a Byzantine. ”

Char didn't speak, just looked at the emperor.

"I've heard about your performance on the battlefield, and although the reports I've seen are exaggerated, I think your performance deserves those compliments. Moreover, you wounded Hasting. ”

When the name "Hasting" was mentioned, the pupils in His Majesty's eyes of the Emperor shrank significantly, and there was a hint of ruthlessness in his tone.

"I just sneaked up. Char simply said the truth, he had a feeling in his heart that in front of this emperor, telling the truth, maybe there would be some unexpected benefits, "Hastings are much stronger than me, I can't beat him at all." If I go head-to-head, he can easily kill me. hurt him this time, also because he was attacked by me unprepared, and ...... He wasn't seriously injured. ”

Subsequently, at the request of the emperor, Char had to challenge how to fake Bonfrett's name on the battlefield, how to forcibly tie Bonfrett to the battlefield, how to make Bonfrett attract Hasting's attention, and then how to sneak attack on the sidelines.

During the whole narration process, Char deliberately showed himself as vulgar and unliterate, with no restraint in his mouth, and when he was happy, some foul language blurted out, and there was no etiquette at all. What "that rabbit who sells his ass", "that little white face who is afraid of death", "kill that bitch raised" and other words, are endless.

Char wasn't stupid, he did it on purpose!

Because although he didn't have much scheming, Char instinctively felt the change in the emperor's attitude! When he said the first foul word, the emperor raised his eyebrows, and the smile in his eyes seemed to be a little more.

And later, when Char said something like "Bonfret's little white face raised by a bitch", His Majesty the Emperor's expression actually showed a look of quick relief............ In this way, where does Char still not understand the emperor's mind?

He deliberately added a bit of exaggeration and detail to his account of how he managed to clean up Bonfrett, and when it came to how he succeeded in sneaking up on Hasting, he downplayed it in a flash.

Finally, after Char finished speaking, Emperor Kantos had a clear smile in his eyes.

Good!

Very good!

Very good!

If at the beginning, he only had a good impression of this stunned boy, then now, the emperor feels that he already likes this kid a little.

bullying Bonfrett's "little white face raised by a bitch" made the emperor happy. And the understatement of the sneak attack on Hasting's success made the emperor mistakenly think that this kid was an honest man who did not take credit.

So, in the evaluation of "simple", the emperor gave another definition to the turtle: loyal and honest.

Martial arts, simple, loyal and honest...... Just ask, which emperor doesn't like such a general? ?

Emperor Kantos was in a obviously good mood, Char finished talking about the process of the sneak attack on Hasting, and the emperor actually asked him a few more personal questions, especially about Char's trivia of being a hunter in the wildfire field, how to hunt in the wild, and how to kill Warcraft...... Unbeknownst to Kantos, he had laughed a lot more at this lunch than he had in the previous ten days combined.

At the same time, the turtle became more and more pleasing to the eye in the eyes of the Spear Emperor.
