Chapter 178: Mad Finn III
After Wren threatened to kill you if he didn't come along, the members of the investigation team could only follow the two of them to the Holy Jewel King's Palace.
"Do you have to speak to them in such a bad tone?"
Quietly glancing at the panicked members of the investigation team behind him, Enid teased while helping Wren.
Hearing this, Wren also glanced at the people behind him, and this glance frightened Kloa and the others to retreat. Then he continued to walk forward, and the people of the investigation team were extremely entangled in the back, and the whole team stopped and stopped, but did not dare to leave rashly.
Wren replied to Enid's question: "Look, it's a lot easier, isn't it?" โ
"Maybe that's why you're notorious."
Enid is still testing Wren around the corner, as if to say that she believes he is not the "weirdo" who people think he is. She intends to inadvertently bring the two closer through some hints like this, so as to make Wren let his guard down.
Wren also seemed to be very cooperative, making a contemplative look, and did not answer Enid's words for a long time.
At this time, the group had already arrived in front of the gate of the palace, and Wren did not cover his whereabouts on the way, so the guards at the gate had already been informed that the armored monsters were coming, as if they were guarding the enemy.
At this time, seeing the armored monster come to the gate, they raised their weapons one after another.
Just now, the captain of the palace guard has ordered that once the armored monsters attack, everyone must defend the king's gate to the death.
However, seeing that the armored monster came to the gate without any intention of stopping, and continued to walk towards the palace with Enid's support, the guards suddenly lost their minds.
Wren takes a step, and they take a step back.
Some of the soldiers with bows and arrows, with bowstrings drawn in their hands, kept their eyes on their captain, waiting for his orders.
And the captain of the guard was also in a dilemma at this time, the king was crazy, and the prime minister Mendoza was nowhere to be found, and he did not know who to ask.
Let's fight with the armor monsters, just kidding, this is the second time the armor monsters have visited the Holy Gem Palace, others don't know, as the captain of the palace guards, he has really experienced the strength of the other party, and the entire palace guards are not enough for the armor monsters to fight alone.
Why don't you fight, you can't take a picture of yourself, so you surrender with your subordinates and let the armored monster into the palace?
While they were struggling, Wren had gently pushed away a few guards who were stiff and petrified, and walked past them safely and came under the gate.
Then he kicked it out......
"Boom !!"
The sturdy-material, circle-attached door crumbled at the foot of the foot, and Wren stepped into the palace with a stunned Enid.
"Maybe that's why you haven't been able to get in."
Wren said lightly.
But Enid could still hear the smile in his tone, he was fighting back against what he had said before.
Enid laughed dumbly, in the past, when she heard about the deeds of the armored monster, she always classified the other party as an arrogant person, and her words and actions were exaggerated to the extreme, making people unable to keep up with his ideas.
But now she feels that the other party's behavior seems to be a little bit childish.
It's a lot like someone.
"Well, I'll admit, sometimes it's really convenient to solve problems by force."
As the other party said, if it weren't for the appearance of his armored monster today, the investigation team doesn't know when they would be able to enter the Holy Gem King's Palace and meet Finn III.
It's just that this way of the armor weirdo is destined to be unpleasant......
"But!" Enid continued, glancing at the people behind her, the guards didn't say anything, they sat on the ground as if they were in prostration, and the faces of Chloa and the other members of the investigation team were also pale - they had only heard about it in the past, but now the brutal image of the armored monster was deeper in their hearts. "The use of force to solve problems can also be intimidating."
Wren also turned his head, but only let Chloa and the others continue to follow, their increasingly fearful expressions reminded Wren of the Dysack and Kenna he had seen in Famata, as well as Haft, Wald, and others on the archaeological ship, who were also more or less afraid of themselves.
In the past, under the deliberate guidance of some people, Wren also asked himself if it was right that he made himself so "notorious" and "avoided" by everyone.
But now Wren already has the answer.
He shook his head at Enid, "If those people were in awe of something, they wouldn't be afraid of me. โ
.......
Finn III looked normal, standing in front of a large floor-to-ceiling mirror before the news of the Armored Monster reached his ears, dressed by his attendants, with a calm expression.
But in reality, he was very sick.
The people of the Holy Gem Kingdom, due to their bloodline, are full of love for all kinds of gems, from the architectural style to the small clothing decoration, all with gemstone elements.
While sacred gemstones are their favorite, other gemstones are not excluded either.
Their furniture or daily necessities, as long as they can use precious stones, are inlaid with one or two pieces.
Finn III, as king, was certainly no exception.
But now, in Finn III's bedroom, not a single gem can be found. Furniture, mirrors, and clothes were pried off, and jewelry was not visible.
Finn III goes berserk at the sight of a gem.
But after a long period of "recuperation", Finn III looked much more normalโat least for an hour or two every few days.
Outside of this time, he is a complete lunatic, with "retrieving the gems" and "killing the armor monsters" being two of his most common phrases.
Now the attendants are taking advantage of Finn III's normal time to change his clothes.
The Holy Gem King in the mirror is much thinner than before, his face is pale, like a soulless wooden man who is served by his attendants, his expression seems to be calm, but there is always a faint hint of cruelty and ferocity in his eyes.
The attendants were frightened and dressed for him, and did not dare to say a word, for fear of touching the king's mold.
Dressed in splendid garments, a squire walked up to Finn III to fasten the buttons.
The coat, which had only a large black clasp at the chest, had recently been made especially for Finn III, and there was not a single piece of his dress that had not been jeweled in the past.
However, it seems that this could not prevent Finn III's madness.
Just as the squire fastened his buttons, Finn III's expression suddenly changed slightly. His eyes were fixed on his chest in the mirror, where the button was, and his expression gradually became hideous.
"Jewels! Jewel! My Holy Jewel! โ
Finn III pounced on himself in the floor-to-ceiling mirror, grabbed the button in the mirror with one hand, and kept picking at the mirror with his five fingers, as if to dig out the button.
"Jewels! Return my holy gems! โ
After several attempts, Finn became more and more frantic when he found that the "Holy Gem" could not be picked off, and he bent down and bit it with his mouth towards the original position of the button, and kept gnawing and devouring it.
Then he soon noticed that the position of the "Holy Gem" in the mirror had changed, and it had become lower than before.
Seeing this, Finn III knelt directly on the ground and continued to bite.
As a result, the more Finn III bitten, the lower the position of the button, and by the end, he was already lying on the ground, biting the bottom of the mirror with his mouth......
