Lu Chen didn't have much to say along the way, and Drake, who was worried about the assassin's problem, was also silent.

The carriage drove into the palace, and there was no need for anyone to report, security checks, etc., and Drake directly took Lu Chen and broke into the king's study. It's not that he's making too much fuss, but the assassin problem will lead to various other possibilities, very strict, to put it simply, if the assassin is real, then at least it means that there will be members of the royal family of the Armorine Empire in this team, and the existence of this identity alone is very unfavorable to the upcoming academy training.

"Hey, what kind of wind blows you earth-based great magician......" Seeing Drake, the king, who likes to work alone, immediately teased, but before he finished speaking, he saw that there was a person behind him, so he could only shut up immediately.

"Your Majesty, he is Lu Chen. "Anyway, it's all his own people, and Derek just used a title that he didn't usually use, and directly omitted other etiquette.

"Oh, little teacher...... Lu Chen, is that Lu Xi'en who suppressed the rebels of the Skinner family?" the king almost called out, but it was okay, the distance between the door and him was relatively far, so that he would not be heard clearly.

Following Drake to a place very close to the desk, Lu Chen was a little frightened and a little strange and also called out "Your Majesty" to say hello, and stood there respectfully, like a prisoner waiting to fall, making the atmosphere very strange, and even Drake, who was anxious about the assassin, couldn't react at once.

After holding back for a few seconds, the two old guys finally couldn't help laughing, which made Lu Chen even more panicked if he had done something wrong. It's not that I'm afraid of being pulled out and beheaded, or I feel that if I make a fool of myself in front of the king, it's very embarrassing.

"Okay, okay, there's no one here, don't be so restrained, I've heard that you're very capable, if you're not used to it, just call me Dwayne, don't let the age gap limit the communication between us, I don't want a young man like you to become like my ministers." The king spoke kindly, as if he were an ordinary elder.

"Don't talk about that yet, we'll talk about it later. Our Lu Chen has received reliable news that there is an Assassin in the ranks of the Castine Empire who has hidden his true identity from everyone, apparently for other purposes. After laughing, Derek couldn't wait to tell the story, and at the same time, he "set an example" and told Lu Chen not to be restrained.

"Oh, is it reliable?" asked Dwayne with just a frown, not at all flustered. After seeing Lu Chen's stiff nod of affirmation, he continued: "The Armoring Empire has always coveted the nineteen cities on the northeastern border of the kingdom, and a large area suitable for planting, and there was news about five months ago that they were secretly preparing troops, and it seems that the arrival of this exchange group must give birth to something." ”

"Well, and there's bound to be a lot of weight in this team, you see?" Drake sek, a little anxiously seeking the King's advice.

"Hehe, don't worry, I think, the one to worry about is the target who might be assassinated. By the way, our future Marquis, what do you think, or is there any other news?" Unlike Drake, Dwayne didn't seem to take it to heart at all.

Although he knew that the vice president was also a member of the royal family, and might even be the king's own brother, such a casual conversation between the two still made Lu Chen feel extremely strange, and he wondered if this was a test for himself, so he could only answer awkwardly and respectfully: "Your Majesty, I am just an ordinary commoner, and I dare not make judgments, but when I left there, I saw that cardinal of the Holy See and Mentor Digren who led the team together, I wonder if this can be considered news?"

"People from the Holy See, they don't stay in the church, why are they going there?" Dwayne didn't know Lu Chen's heart, and continued to knock on his head very unimpressively.

"It is said that Dugren is the second magician in the Castine Empire to have the final say, and there are many things that even Oruqi, the magic saint, has to listen to him. Such a person personally leads the team, which in itself is very interesting. Derek also joined in the excitement and added a message.

"What!" Lu Chen was shocked, he didn't expect that the kind old man he met casually on the way back would actually be like this. "Then shouldn't his students be the children of princes and nobles, or extremely gifted geniuses?"

The two old brothers glanced at each other, and wanted to say, "That's true, you're a typical", but immediately suddenly thought of Lu Chen's meaning, and asked in unison, "Have you seen his student?"

"Yes, one is named Russell and the other is named Lenny, both of whom are exchange students this time. Lu Chen replied simply.

"I've never heard of him having such a young student. ”

"Forget it, I'll let people investigate this matter, and don't worry too much, even if this crisis is handled, the jackals of Justin will not give up the preparations for nearly half a year so simply, all we can do is to be ready to deal with it at any time. Okay, that's all for this tricky matter first, and since our Marquis is here, let's talk about what reward you want, as long as I have it, it's okay, whether it's a person or a thing. Dwayne said expectantly, he very much hoped that this little junior brother would make a request to marry a princess and become a prince.

The boss said this, when the younger brother of Derek naturally will not have much to do, but he knows the psychology of this brother, and he is really embarrassed to look at Lu Chen for the sentence "whether it is a person or a thing", how does he feel as if he is setting up a stall to sell his niece.

And Lu Chen's heart was also a little overloaded for the king to call himself Lord Marquis again, but looking at the king's smiling "cheap" face, he still had the courage to try to ask: "I don't know what I want, the vice president said that he wants to store the artifact in the treasury, can I go there and take a look?"

"Uh~ No problem, then let's go now. Although he knew that the little junior brother would not say that he wanted to marry a princess, Dwayne was still a little disappointed, and led the way after speaking.

The distance was too close, Lu Chen didn't dare to ask Derek what he said wrong, looking at the king's appearance, he could only follow cautiously, and decided to choose an inconspicuous thing at the treasury, and he definitely couldn't harm his friends and women because of greed for money.

It's just that when walking in the palace, Lu Chen was stunned again, and Dwayne actually enthusiastically introduced him to the situation and structure of the palace while walking. At first glance, it sounded like he was showing off, but then the other party asked him to remember the route very strangely, and when he was deliberately taking him around **, he deliberately talked about the residence of the concubines and princesses, and told him that most of the princesses would play together here on his rest days, and invited him, the future marquis, to come here to play.

Listening to his brother's "sinister intentions", Derek had the urge to hit the wall, but because this was the palace, he had to give the king a little face, so he could only endure the laughter in his heart with a bitter face, and stayed a little farther behind.

It took more than half an hour longer than usual, and not wanting his intention to sell his daughter was too "obvious", Dwayne finally took two people who couldn't stand it to the treasury.

After Dwayne took out the key and opened a small door in the corner of a three-story high gate, the three of them entered the most heavily guarded place in the Finaethius Kingdom without any accident.

"Okay, take ~ your teacher, let you hand over the artifact to us. Dwayne was not polite, but he was awkward when he talked about his teacher Ron.

didn't hesitate to do so, Lu Chen, who had used the artifact once, handed over the "scourge" staff to Drake without hesitation, anyway, he couldn't wield its true power, and like other skills, it could only be used once within a certain period of time.

After the two old guys glanced at each other, they asked Lu Chen to look at it casually, thinking slowly, waiting for them to place the artifact, and then tell them what they had fallen into, and then went to the inner place to "busy".

There are no piles of gold coins at the door, and there are no mountains of magic cores, most of them are some cultural relics, souvenirs and the like, although they are also priceless, but they are of little use to Lu Chen;

Soon Lu Chen came to the innermost position, but when he saw that the items placed on the shelves were all weapons and equipment, he immediately retreated. He knew that these should be very powerful treasures even if they were not artifacts, and Lu Chen, who was determined to find something inconspicuous, didn't even dare to take a second look, for fear that he wouldn't be able to stand the temptation and make a choice to harm others and himself.

"What's going on?,Why don't you look at it.,Can't you look at my collection after playing with the artifact? Dwayne was depressed, he deliberately gave Lu Chen a chance to make up for his lack of strength after he didn't have an artifact.

"Cut, what can be seen by you can still be called an artifact. This kid is very good, I think he was scared by you, and he was afraid of playing something on him, so he didn't look at it. If you really want to give him something, can't you just give it directly, why do you go around in such a big circle. "There was no one around, and Drake hit his brother very mercilessly.

"How could I trap him, it's not because the teacher told us to hide it from him, otherwise we could just give him half of the treasure house. ”

"Well, just give him good things, and with his shrewdness, he will surely be able to guess something...... Alas, it's really hard to do for this little junior brother, I hope the teacher can come sooner......"

Regardless of the sorrow of the two old brothers, Lu Chen, who would not choose useless things, looked at the alchemy items one by one, and was quickly attracted by a simple necklace. The diamond-shaped crystal pendant like a black gemstone reminded him of the star stone he owned.

Released consciousness to probe into it, and unexpectedly this is a spatial object with an owner. Without hesitation, I wanted to use the old method to remove the above contract, but I didn't expect that my tried and tested ability could not be broken in a short time. Finally, looking at the instructions on the shelf, Lu Chen decided to ask for this one, and then walked to the door with it, found a place to sit down casually, and waited for the two old uncles.

Seeing that Lu Chen didn't have the interest to choose anything else, the old brothers no longer pretended to fiddle with the artifact, put it in an inconspicuous place with the box, labeled it, and returned to Lu Chen.

Without waiting for Lu Chen to speak, Dwayne, who was very dissatisfied, asked: "Why did you pick this, you are not an alchemist, what do you want it for?"

"Ahh If this can't be given to me, then I'll put it back. Lu Chen replied cautiously.

"That'...... Whatever you want. Let's go out, it's almost noon, come and have a meal with us here before leaving. By the way, I heard that you taught those girls with red thorn flowers to cook the dishes of your hometown, and they taste good, how about it, do I have this blessing to eat?" Dwayne, who did not "sell" his daughter, suddenly said with a plan.

"Uh~ It's right that I taught them, but I only know the method, and the taste is not as good as those girls' makes, such as Your Majesty Xià You promise not to punish me for being unpalatable, then I will be ugly. God knows what this king is going to do, and Lu Chen, who didn't dare to refuse, could only reluctantly accept this "worrying" task.

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay, little Lu Chen, don't worry, this guy doesn't have much sense of taste, as long as it's not highly poisonous, I guarantee you'll be fine." Seeing this atmosphere was uncomfortable, Derek finally couldn't help but explode.

"I don't have a sense of taste? Lu Chen, I now order you to make the most unpalatable dish for this guy to eat, and you don't have to eat the one with a bad stomach, just let him eat it and want to vomit it, just do it. "The king is gone.

"What, you ......"

“......”

There was no one in the treasury, and the two bored brothers quarreled again, while Lu Chen could only watch the performance with black lines on his head, and at the same time realized that he seemed to have done something stupid and really missed some opportunity.
