An hour later, Wang and all the members of the Salvation Team were already standing in front of the door of the Audience Hall.

Elizabeth whispered to him, "I really didn't expect the Emperor of Monrovia to come up and look for you directly." ”

Wang: "Maybe this time the orc overlord put a lot of pressure on him, and he fell ill and went to the hospital." If you can solve the long-standing puzzle of the White Tower, you may not be able to get any powerful weapons or props from the tower. ”

The soldiers on either side of the gate heard the two men and kept glancing at them, but they couldn't make a big look—that would be rude.

Xiaobai patted Wang's head: "I'm hungry, what should I do?" ”

Wang: "Just bear with me, don't bite my head." ”

Xiaobai immediately took a bite, and then stuck out his tongue: "It's unpalatable!" ”

At this time, there was a chant from inside: "Spread ~ the salvation team enters the temple!" ”

Then the two guards at the door knocked on the floor with the cane in their hands together, making a "knock" sound: "Chuan ~ The salvation team enters the hall!" ”

The king frowned: "Isn't this the custom of the Odas Empire?" How did it get here? ”

The gate slowly opened, and the palatial decoration of the hall and the richly dressed courtiers entered the king's field of vision.

When the ministers saw the configuration of the team that came in, they immediately began to whisper.

The king was watching them, too.

Although it is now sunset, the room is still as bright as day, and it is clear that the designers of the hall have used light in a more advanced way.

On the high platform in the middle of the room, there are two ornate chairs, the height of the chairs themselves is about the same as that of ordinary chairs, but the backrests are a full two meters high.

The back of the backrest is carved with the ancestor of Monrovia, and the chair on the left is carved with the original Monrovia Emperor, Melward I, whose name was later used by the entire royal family.

On the chair on the right is the original Empress Melward of Monrovia, whose surname is no longer available and is said to be of Dalit origin. But in the carving, she is completely in the shape of a noble lady, and there is no commoner atmosphere at all.

Benard Melward, the contemporary emperor of Monrovia, sat in a chair on the left, his upper body tilted very informally, his right elbow resting on the armrest, and his hand resting on his cheek.

To his right, seated is Monrovia's current queen, Susan Melward. At nearly fifty years old, although she is not as beautiful as Elizabeth and is older, she is still attractive.

To the right of the queen, on the lower steps, a row of smaller seats sat a row of princes and princesses in order of age.

The third prince, Audi Melward, who had gone to greet them into the city, was already in the third seat.

The four princesses on his right saw Elizabeth and straightened their backs.

When the king looked at the princess, the little white on his neck tugged at his hair vigorously: "Look, there is a big big one over there! ”

Wang: "Well, it's about the same size, but it can't be ruled out that it's the effect of props, and the chest rest and waist corset can greatly affect the judgment of volume. Elizabeth didn't pretend to be that. ”

Although his voice was small, it was clear that some of the ministers had prepared props to listen to the whispers of others, and their eyes widened in surprise.

And the fifth prince on the right of the four princesses frowned, and looked at the strange man who said frivolous things to his sister with a hostile gaze - that is, the king.

At this moment the seat was one step lower to the king's left, and the old man with the white beard stood up.

He looked first at Emperor Bernal Melward, who nodded slightly.

So the old man stepped forward: "Chief Archmage of the Monrovia Court, Mel, salute the great living legend!" ”

Wang: "No, I'm not. My teacher is. Tell me something. ”

The old man glanced at the emperor again, then turned his head to scan the vassals standing further down, and finally his gaze fell on the king: "Although Your Majesty invited you to come for another purpose, I personally have a reluctant request, old man. I've heard that you have a scroll that you can talk to directly with that legend, and I'm willing to pay a lot of money for one. ”

Wang: "First, we are not short of money. Second, if I sold the scroll to passers-by, the teacher would get angry and come and arrest me. The old urchin is more moody, not as good-tempered as my uncle. ”

Except for Xiaobai, the rest of the Salvation Team frowned at the teacher, and the mage who was about to bring the demon army to seek revenge at every turn had a good temper?

The white-bearded old man was extremely embarrassed, the dignified chief court archmage of Monrovia, a terrifying destruction machine that was proficient in a large number of eight-ring magic, and Mel, the undertaker of the orcs, was actually classified as a "passerby" like this, and even such an old man's mentality could not be calmed down.

Old man: "You! Thou! ”

Wang: "But if you have a scroll of the Nine Rings, I can exchange it with you." We need a powerful spell like Banshee's Howl, do you have it? ”

The white-bearded old man glanced at the emperor.

The king turned to Elizabeth and said, "You see what he means, it doesn't look like he has this scroll." ”

Elizabeth: "Not necessarily. ”

At this time, the emperor responded, and the white-bearded old man sighed, and said, "Then can I bother you, tear up a scroll, and let me talk to your teacher?" I've been standing on the threshold of the Nine Rings for so many years, but I can't get past it, you must be able to understand it as a mage, right? ”

Xiaobai: "He has always used honorifics for you, I don't understand the rules of human beings, but isn't it generally true that people who have a long life use honorifics for people who are dying?" ”

Wang: "Yes, but I'm a fox now, I'm a fox, and my teacher is a tiger." ”

"Eh~" Xiaobai touched the king's head, "It turns out that you are such a bad person!" ”

Wang: "Yes, I'm very bad. ”

After this conversation, the entire audience hall fell silent. Xiaobai didn't have the consciousness to lower her voice at all, so the whole hall could hear her words clearly, and Wang was also carried by her without lowering her voice.

The nobles of Monrovia all blushed and exchanged glances with each other.

The emperor and empress also had a straight face, unable to see their inner thoughts, and most of the princesses and princes also learned from their fathers, and only one person could not help laughing.

Dada, who has the same secondary sexual characteristics as Elizabeth - no, the four princesses are holding their lips with their hands to prevent themselves from laughing. Next to her, her brother's brows were almost locked.

In addition to the five princes, there are also people looking at the four princesses.

"Presumptuous!" The man stood up, pointed at the mage and said, "You guy, how dare you be so rude to my teacher!" He is also a respected eight-ring spellcaster, and he has played a great role in the wars to defend Monrovia! ”

The king looked at the man who had suddenly jumped out to stand out for the old man, and found that he was a bookish young man, probably only eighteen or twenty years old, an age when the mage had not grown his hair.

Then the king spoke, "I have no intention of being rude to your teacher, but I am just a character. You see I've let our druids ride me in, and you're expecting me to obey the etiquette, isn't that a little too much? ”

Xiaobai: "Yes, yes! ”

The young mage who came out was speechless for a while, and held back for a few seconds and said, "You despise His Majesty the Emperor!" This is a great disrespect! ”

Wang: "The conscience of heaven and earth, I absolutely do not mean this. It's just that Xiaobai is riding me, and I don't mean to go down, and no one of you says that you can't do this, so you keep letting her ride and play. After all, I usually ride her, so it's no problem to compensate her now. ”

The ministers were in an uproar.

They all understood riding in that direction, and Ming Ming Wang and Xiaobai showed how to ride on the spot, and they still thought about it that way. It can only be said that it is difficult for human beings to escape the stereotype.

Only one person could see how the ride was riding, and she watched with a smile as things unfolded.

At this time, the Emperor of Monrovia, Bernal Melward, finally spoke: "Quiet. ”

The little mage, who was still croaking, shut up.

The emperor looked at the boy and said, "You are the son of Earl Morgan?" Studying at Mel's Mage Tower? ”

The boy raised his head proudly: "Yes." ”

After speaking, he also glanced at the four princesses quickly.

The Emperor sighed: "It seems that the Count has no way to teach you." Mel, are you really going to take such a dull student? How old is he? Now how many rings? ”

The old mage spoke, "Twenty-two years old, just a second-ring spellcaster. But at this age, it's already very good to be able to perform the second ring. ”

Wang: "Ah~ah~ Second ring, you are one ring less than the third ring." ”

Elizabeth whispered, "You scolded me too." ”

"You warlock, don't be afraid." Wang also replied in a whisper.

The emperor glanced at the two people who were chewing the root of their tongues, and said with a smile: "It's not the first time I've seen people who dare to whisper on such occasions, but the grass on their graves is a foot high. ”

Wang: "That's right. Got it. ”

The scene fell silent again.

The king's large, innocent eyes flashed as he looked at the supreme ruler of Monrovia.

Bernal Melward also didn't expect that there would be this kind of stunned person who doesn't give steps.

At this time Elizabeth spoke: "I am very sorry, Your Majesty. He doesn't understand the world at all, and if he offends you, I'll compensate him. ”

Bernal Melward decisively got off the donkey: "I can see that I like this kind of 'straightforward' character. ”

The emperor bit the accent in his bluntness.

Then he turned his gaze to the son of Earl Morgan, the promising young mage who had been certified by the archmage of the court: "How dare you speak indiscriminately, disturb the court, drag it out, whip it a hundred times, and then send the knights to become a knight, where he will learn how to behave in the world." ”

The little mage was blinded: "Why? Your Majesty, I have been wronged! Your Majesty! As the teacher said just now, I have a bright future as a mage! Teacher, help me! ”

The old mage just looked at the beloved disciple who was dragged away by the guards with pity.

The Emperor continued: "My court mage has been unable to break through the Eight Rings and become a Nine Ring Spell Caster for so many years, and he is also in a hurry. Your Excellency, Can't you really be accommodating and let your teacher give you some advice? ”

Wang: "My teacher, don't think about it. I can point you in, I'm very familiar with the Nine Rings spell, and although I've never actually cast it, I can still do it with a little hint. ”

The old mage was stunned, after all, normal people listened to the king's speech just now, and they also felt that he was mocking.

Elizabeth hurriedly made up for it and said, "The mage of our team is really proficient in all magic, if you only don't know anything about the details and knowledge of spells, you can really ask him." ”

Old Mage Mel suddenly laughed: "Hahahaha, that's really unreasonable. I know you have all sorts of terrifying items to prove your identity, and I know the rumor that if you die, an angry legendary mage will come to Minios with an army of demons.

"I believe it's all true. However, even if your teacher is that one, it doesn't mean that you are good! You just said it yourself, you are a fox and a fake tiger! It just so happens that now Your Majesty is planning to provide an opportunity to prove your strength! ”

Bernal Melward immediately picked up the conversation: "Yes. I think my son, the Third Prince Audi, has already told you, and I want you to solve the puzzles of Monrovia and find a way to unlock the towering White Tower of the White City! ”

Wang: "Really? I'm just going to take a look, and although I've put this matter at the top of my list, now that the situation has become like this, it's okay to take a look first. However, I probably can't solve it, after all, so many people have been studying it for hundreds of years, right? ”

Benal smiled, "That's true, I didn't expect the disciples of the legendary archmage to be able to cure the disease and succeed. ”

Elizabeth asked, "Then if the king fails to crack it, we ...... Will you be embarrassed? ”

"Of course not! You are the ones who have to deal with the world's crisis, O savior team! But if you can't solve it, then Monrovia will have to stand by and watch your so-called extinction crisis.

"After all, most people will believe that the crisis exists, mainly because of the endorsement of the legendary archmage."

Bernal smiled slightly.

"If this young brother can't prove his strength, then the credibility of the teacher behind him will also have a question mark. While we won't be reckless in trying to really provoke the angry legendary mage and his demon legions, ...... Right?

"So when are you going to start solving the puzzle?"

Wang: "First of all, I'd like to take a look at all the attempts you've made so far. You've got a detailed record, right? How much is recorded? ”

Bernal shrugged, "There are so many entire sections in the Royal Library. You're going to have to soak in it for a week. ”

Wang: "Well, then leave Xiaobai as my personal guard, and the others divide up the work and follow the list to find ......."

Bernal: "I'm afraid it won't work.

"You are the strongest who participated in the battle for the throne of Kosania, and completely eradicated the cavemen under the territory of the river valley, and you are the top combat power. The latest information is that you have easily defused the attack of the orc wolf cavalry and saved a ferry.

"According to the assessment of the Military Intelligence Service, you can easily take out three hundred heavily armed knights. This kind of combat power can't run around the city until it's trusted, after all, it's an extraordinary time. ”

The team members looked at each other.

The king raised his hand: "Then what if I give up now and admit defeat?" ”

Bernal was shocked by the unexpected unfolding.

He really didn't think that anyone could simply give up and lie down and swing.

Elizabeth interjected decisively and explained: "Our mage, who always tends to choose the lesser of two evils, is always calmly calculating. Now he judged to take this ...... Uh, a gamble? In short, he judged that the income was too low, so he decided to give up. ”

At this time, the fifth prince muttered: "It's too frivolous, how can this save the world!" ”

The Four Princesses raised their hands: "Father, Oscar is very skeptical of the ability of the Salvation Squad, and I propose that he represent the Monrovia Royalty and lead the Knights to supervise the actions of the Salvation Squad!" ”

"Huh?" The young man exclaimed at first, but immediately straightened his face and said seriously, "Father, I just want to see with my own eyes what kind of people the rumored salvation team is!" Now they make a very bad impression on me! ”

Wang: "You can come, but I'll tell you that we're not going to recruit humans into the team anymore. ”

Bernal asked suspiciously, "Why?" ”

Wang spread his hands: "There are already three humans in our team, which is beyond the standard." ”

Silence descended on the Audience Hall again. After all, everyone really didn't expect to hear such an outrageous reason on such a serious occasion.

The Emperor of Monrovia broke the silence: "It's decided!" Oscar, instead of your third brother, take them to the Royal Library, tell the library administrators, assign them the library rooms, and the palace chef will provide them with three meals a day! ”
