Chapter 50: The King's Duty

"What big can you guys do?" the man looked at them suspiciously, his brow furrowed even tighter, "Your Majesty is not sure if you want to see you or not." ”

"Uh......" Alan said again.

"Forget it, since you insist on going, let's go...... However, I advise you to act quickly, for His Majesty usually only stays in the palace in the morning to attend to business, and then begins to tour the royal realm, and will not return until the evening. Seeing that Alan didn't want to speak, the man waved his hand, "I'll come back at this time tomorrow, you'd better get things done as soon as possible, otherwise you'll have to spend your whole life in someone else's house." ”

With that, he turned and left.

"What should I do?" Riel asked, "Go directly to the palace to find him?"

"Well, go now. If he does start patrolling the territory, we don't know his route, and we probably won't see him all day. Allen said.

"But...... I haven't eaten enough last night, so if I don't eat breakfast again...... "Riel touched his rumbling stomach a little embarrassed, "Why don't you wait for Hamsi to come back and have a barbecue first......"

"Just bear with me...... We're running out of time. Alan also frowned, in fact, he had been hungry since he woke up, "It may be more difficult to delay any longer." ”

"Let's go. Frey apparently agreed, and headed in the direction of the palace.

They were not far from the cliff, but the road was a little winding, and they were all small paths, which almost made them lose their way several times. Fortunately, there were many people living in this neighborhood, and they inquired all the way and finally arrived at the bottom of the cliff.

I don't know if it was natural or man-made, but the cliff protruded in mid-air to form a platform, on which the whole palace sat like a cake on a plate, but the cake was huge and golden.

"This ...... Where do you go up from?" Riel looked at the palace in mid-air, with a demented expression. Because it was like it was out of nowhere, and there was no road leading there, not even a hole.

"Isn't there even a path?" looked around at Rare and became even more confused, staring at the vines hanging down from the top of the cliff in a daze, "Do you want to climb up this one?"

Alan was a little puzzled at first, but when he remembered the magic used by Ashley Hill, he understood a little...... Wherever he went, he only needed to use his sword to carve a passage in mid-air, and he didn't need a road at all......

"Do you really want to see him only by chance......" Alan couldn't help but be a little worried. Although he didn't know the exact size of Sunlight City, the fact that he couldn't see the walls was enough to show that the city wasn't much smaller than Krivari at least. If you want to meet someone who doesn't know your whereabouts at all in such a big country, this probability is ......

But just as they were at a loss, a man dressed similarly to the herald before them hurried past them. He went down the cliff and laid a roll of parchment on a small stone platform beneath the palace.

It was a stone platform not much bigger than a palm, just big enough to hold a bundle of parchment.

"What is this?" asked as Alan approached the man as the surface of the platform suddenly darkened, and then the parchment vanished.

"Oh, you say that?" said a good-natured, white-haired old man, who looked warm-hearted, "Your Majesty has named it 'The All-Knowing Kong,' and if there is anything to report, write it down and put it on it, and he will receive it." ”

Hearing this, Alan somewhat understood. There may be a spatial magic similar to the "Heavenly Gate" on it, which is an entrance and the other end is in his palace.

"Do you have a pen and paper with you?" Alan asked quickly.

"Yes, yes, but what are you going to do?" asked the old man, "is there anything you want to report to your majesty?"

"Yes, very important things!"

"Oh, okay, that's for you. As he spoke, the old man took out a piece of parchment and a quill from his bosom, "Please write as short as possible, there is not much ink stored in the refill." ”

"Thank you!" Alan took it, hastily wrote these words on the paper: "New entrants ask to see, urgent matters" and hurriedly placed them on the stone platform.

"You want to meet Your Majesty in person?" the old man saw what he had written, and looked at them several times, "This is really strange...... As far as I know, His Majesty hasn't seen anyone for more than fifty years. ”

"More than fifty years?" Rare was startled when he heard this.

"Yes, because it doesn't need to. Speaking of Ashley Hill, the old man's face showed the same reverence as Hamsey: "Your Majesty is forgiving, merciful, sensible, and conscientious, and is more perfect than any king recorded in the history books...... I grew up here, and for as long as I can remember, His Majesty has taken care of every inch of the land here, so that Glenn Crown has been able to weather the weather year after year. Where rain is needed, where sunlight is needed, just write it clearly like this and send it to Your Majesty, and you will naturally receive a gift. ”

"You're saying that he's the only one to handle the entire Sunlight City?" "Riel was a little surprised, "Is he busy?"

"No, no, no, you misunderstood, he is only responsible for giving instructions, and the specific implementation is done by us. The old man pointed to his clothes and said, "For example, I am responsible for taking care of thirty families in the south of the city." If any family needs anything, we just need to write it down and give it to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will tell us to help them. ”

"That's enough to choke...... Such a big city, so many people live here...... It's a job that ordinary people can't do......"

"Your Majesty is blessed by the gods, never sick, and does not age, as if he was born to protect Glenn Krone...... And he also regards this as his duty!"

"But since you've already divided your respective areas of responsibility, wouldn't it be nice to leave all this kind of things to you?" Riel still didn't understand a little, "Why do you have to deal with it yourself, isn't this asking for trouble for yourself?"

"That's because he knows the land better than we do. Speaking of this, the old man smiled slightly, and his tone slowed down a lot, "Everyone here is like his children, and he can call every family name if he has lived here for generations." ”

"Everyone!?" Rare snapped his lips shut in shock, "Oh my God...... Are you familiar with it to this extent?"

"Yes, every ......household," the old man nodded, "no matter what time of year it is, Your Majesty only needs to look at which household is requesting, and he can immediately make a judgment, how much precipitation is needed, or how much more light is needed, and there is no mistake...... And we just need to do what we are told. ”
