Chapter 51: The King's Palace

"Then he must be a great king......" Alan couldn't help but praise when he heard this, "It takes not only him to have a love for Glenn Crown, but also to keep it!"

"Yes, Your Majesty loves Glenn Clan, so do we!" the old man gave him an approving glance when Alan praised Ashley Hill, "Everyone who lives here has an incomparable love for this place! We are willing to pay for it, and selflessly dedicate ourselves to everyone who lives here, just like Your Majesty! We help each other, do not ask for anything in return, and treat each other like family!"

Hearing Ashley Hill get such an evaluation, Allen also had a thought in his heart: "If you can stay here for a long time, maybe it will be a good choice......"

He wanted to ask more about Ashley Hill, but just then, a faint pale blue light suddenly lit up before their eyes...... A space-time rift appeared on the rock wall in front of them.

"Ah, this is a summons from Your Majesty!" cried the old man excitedly, "I have heard my father tell me once! If His Majesty wishes to see anyone, he will open a door in front of them!"

"Is that so, then we'll take our leave!" Alan hurriedly said goodbye, beckoning a few people to run that way.

"Go, cherish this highest glory!"

As the old man had said, the other end of the passage did connect to where Ashley Hill was, but not in the palace, but in a garden.

A few people looked around carefully...... Behind them, the tall round columns lined up to support the splendid palace, and in front of them was a huge garden with a small flowerbed every few steps, and in the middle of the flowerbeds were many small fountains with delicate carvings, which were distributed in regular patterns throughout the garden, and the water in them made a subtle gurgling sound, which was refreshing...... It's as beautiful as a painting.

There were no guards, no servants, and the whole palace was empty.

Ashley Hill was standing at the end of the garden with his back to them, on the edge of the cliff, his head slightly raised, staring at the gray sky and not knowing what he was thinking.

"Have you seen enough?" Ashley Hill was the first to speak, his voice calm, "This is the king's courtyard. ”

Several people approached quickly.

"What is the matter with this king?" asked Ashley Hill.

"Uh...... That's it......" Alan hurriedly gathered his thoughts and said, "Thank you Your Majesty for taking you in, and giving us such a precious land, I really can't repay it......"

Alan had never used such a wording, and it was a few words that sounded like a compliment that he had thought about for a long time last night, in order to please the king as much as possible.

"The king has already said that you don't need to repay him, just go back and stay well. ”

"But......" Alan took a deep breath and plucked up his courage, "but Your Majesty, we really can't stay here for long, we ......"

"Is that what you're referring to?" Ashley Hill interrupted him coldly.

"Uh......"

"What concerns you alone will never be a big deal. Ashley Hill said, "This king will tell you one last time." Your life now belongs to the king, and you cannot leave unless you drink the water of oblivion. ”

"But ......"

"Go back!" Ashley Hill, still with his back to them, raised his hand to signal that he didn't want to listen any longer, "This king still has important things to figure out, and he doesn't have time to spend on such boring things. ”

I thought that Ashley Hill would be willing to meet them and listen to them more or less about what happened, but I didn't expect to leave them any chance to argue, as if they were just extra kind to let them travel to the palace......

Alan was a little anxious and shouted, "But if we stay, the whole Hepp will be completely finished!"

He didn't care about any disrespect now, for he realized that if they were driven back now, it might be very difficult to see Ashley Hill again......

Hearing Allen's roar, Ashley Hill finally turned his head slightly and squinted at him.

Alan couldn't tell if he was angry, he just remembered that old Triss had been bleeding from his head at that time, for fear that he would suddenly move and tie himself up and throw him down from here.

"Your Majesty forgives your sins, I ...... Uh, I ...... "Alan was so stumbling that he suddenly didn't know what to say.

"Go on. Ashley Hill slowly walked up to him and ordered, "What does this have to do with Hepp?"

"Ah, that's it......" Seeing that he didn't mean to be angry at all, Alan finally breathed a sigh of relief, "It's the MONOCULUS, the MONOCULUS has escaped! If it is allowed to do whatever it wants, it will find this place sooner or later and destroy everything!"

"MONOCULUS ......" Hearing the word, Ashley Hill's eyes suddenly narrowed a few points and became sharp.

"Since Krivari is so far away from here, Your Majesty may not have heard of it......," Eren continued, "Not only has the MONOCULUS appeared, but it has completely destroyed Krivari!"

"That's the dirty thing...... Ashley Hill muttered to himself as he turned his body back and looked up at the sky again, "No wonder there's been no sun for weeks, and even magic can't do anything......"

"Yesterday you left in a hurry, and we didn't have time to explain it to you...... "Seeing this, Alan quickly said, "Actually, we are here to find the holy relics...... It's the glorious pendant that I heard was left behind in the Valley of the Dragons. ”

"What are you looking for it?" Ashley Hill turned his head back and stared at Allen, "Could it be that you guys are still trying to control its power and then challenge the MONOCULUS?"

"Uh...... Exactly......" Alan said a little embarrassed, "although that sounds a bit self-conscious......"

"It's not a little, it's very self-conscious!" Ashley Hill burst out laughing, "It's ridiculous! It's been a long time since I've heard anything so ridiculous! I'm not sure who instigated you to embark on such a stupid path that would make you think you have the power to defeat the Monoculus!"

"But...... That's exactly what the prophecy says......" Alan blushed a little from his ridicule, and his voice was much quieter, and he seemed a little unconfident, "The prophecy says that this is a responsibility that must be borne by us......

"What a rashness!" Ashley Hill still didn't contain his laughter, and exclaimed loudly, "The person who made this prophecy should be ashamed of his own rashness to entrust the fate of the Hepp continent to you children!"

"Imprudent...... I don't think so!" Cynthia, who had been standing silently, suddenly took a few steps forward and took out the Staff of Void from her pocket.

"This is ......" The wand obviously surprised Ashley Hill, the smile on his face abruptly stopped, and then looked at Cynthia carefully, "Where did you get that...... It's Sherlyn Ledsberg's stuff!"

"It doesn't matter where you got it...... The important thing is that it's in my hands now!, isn't it?" Cynthia stared at Ashley Hill tightly, not losing to him in the slightest.

The eyes are facing each other.

"Because it means that it has recognized me!" Cynthia said, taking another step forward, "It was fate that made it recognize me!"
