Chapter 200: King Lugain's Ambition
Chapter 200 The Ambition of King Lu Gaoyin
Early the next morning, I arrived at the Mages Guild. Talon was in his study. When he heard it was me, he stood up quickly.
"President Tallon, have you made an appointment with His Majesty the King for a meeting?"
The two sides exchanged a few words, and I immediately asked impatiently, because I really want to go out of the city to see the monsters here. I haven't moved my body for almost a month, and my hands are itchy. I don't know what Lu Gaoyin's
What kind of surprises will monsters bring me!
"Yes, sir, I went to the palace immediately after you left yesterday. King Lu Gaoyin seemed to be very interested in you and told me that the meeting can be done at any time. The sooner the better, if possible.
, I hope you can go and have a rest this morning, sir."
"oh!?"
I responded. According to Tarun's estimate of two or three days, I would just take advantage of these few days to go out for a walk. Unexpectedly, King Lu Gaoyin arrived in a hurry than I did.
"Okay, without further ado, let's set off now."
Under the leadership of Tarun, we walked slowly towards the direction of the palace, but along the way, Tarun always hesitated, as if he had something to say.
"I wonder how Lu Gaoyin makes you feel?"
After a long time, Tarun finally managed to hold back a sentence.
“Very good, especially Adventurer’s Land and Twin Seas.”
I looked at him quite surprised.
"No, ah, how should I put this? Actually, I want to ask, I wonder if your Excellency has noticed, between the soldiers and adventurers in Lu Gaoyin City..."
Tarun hesitated for a while, then finally sighed and said bluntly.
"Adventurers and soldiers?"
I raised my voice and didn't understand why Tarun suddenly asked this question, but I still carefully recalled what I saw yesterday afternoon.
"I don't think there's any big problem at all. But I always feel... it seems that soldiers don't like adventurers very much, and I always feel that they don't look good."
I frowned. After saying this, I was still a little confused as to why the soldiers showed such an attitude. Adventurers and soldiers should be on the same page. To say the least, adventurers are fighting for the entire Diablo.
The survival of the mainland is in a struggle. It's okay if these soldiers don't respect them, but if they go out of their way to make things difficult, that would be too much. This kind of thing shouldn't happen either emotionally or rationally.
"It seems that the adults are also aware of this, so I will just tell you." Tarun smiled bitterly and lowered his voice.
"Could it be that the adventurers committed something in the city?"
"It's not what you think, sir. Most adventurers keep to themselves. Even if someone makes trouble, we managers will immediately mediate."
"Then why exactly?"
"So, it's not because the adventurers are causing trouble, and it's not because the soldiers hate adventurers, they don't have the guts."
The gate of Lu Gaoyin's palace is already in sight.
"It's our King Lugoin who doesn't like adventurers."
Talon stopped, looked at me and said.
"..."
I didn't make any unnecessary guesses. Instead, I quietly waited for Tarun's explanation.
"Just think about it, which king would be willing to have so many powerful forces that are not subject to his own control in his imperial city? I'm afraid he also has trouble sleeping and eating."
"indeed so."
It makes sense to think like this. If it were me, I wouldn't be happy if I thought that as the King of Lu Gaoyin, outside the palace, just a few job transfers might kill me.
"Therefore, this majestic King of Lugoin seems to be planning to win over adventurers and created a Royal Adventurer's Guild. All adventurers who join the guild will receive special privileges, while those who do not join will receive various benefits.
Make things difficult.
"Isn't he afraid of angering other adventurers and secretly kill him?" I was sweating. This King of Lugoin is really funny.
"Of course, he is not that stupid. At the beginning, he only gave adventurers privileges to the Royal Adventurers Guild and did not dare to do anything to other adventurers?"
"Then why has this situation developed now? Could it be that he thinks that the Royal Adventurer Guild has enough power to compete with Lu Gaoyin's other adventurers?"
I frowned. If that's the case, then this King of Lu Gaoyin is too stupid. You know, Lu Gaoyin's adventurers. For those adventurers in the second world, they are undoubtedly the same as babies.
Just as fragile, if the bottom line of the Adventurer Alliance is really touched, just calling back a few high-level adventurers can wipe out this so-called King of Lu Gaoyin. Moreover, I don’t think these people are arrogant.
A proud adventurer would be willing to sacrifice his life for an ordinary person.
"On the contrary." Tarun's answer confirmed my guess.
"The Royal Adventurers Guild did recruit a lot of adventurers back then, but those people were just for temporary convenience. Without Lu Gaoyin, who would continue to listen to him, and King Lu Gaoyin was not satisfied either.
, because he also knows that Lu Gaoyin's adventurers are just a group of babies, and what he wants is Harrogath, or even adventurers from the second world, so that he can have the ability to protect himself."
"Actually, our adventurer alliance has never thought of interfering with the rights of King Lu Gaoyin. In order to avoid suspicion, we did not even appoint elders in Lu Gaoyin, but..., how jealous the royal family is, ugh——!"
Talon shook his head helplessly.
"Therefore, without any results, King Lu Gaoyin's temper became more and more irritable, and he seemed to become irrational. Now there are many complaints among Lu Gaoyin's adventurers. Fortunately, those soldiers are still
I don’t dare to do anything to adventurers, especially those who change jobs, so I’m in peace for the time being. However, if the situation is allowed to get serious, with the power of Ryan and I, we won’t be able to completely restrain those unruly adventurers.
He."
So that's it, I sighed with a wry smile. It seems that this meeting is really a big banquet. I will probably face difficulties for my qualifications for remote teleportation.
"Speaking of which, His Majesty Jie Hain is actually a talented and powerful emperor. If it were in a peaceful era, he might not be able to expand his territory and achieve great achievements as an emperor. It's a pity that he can't be made great now.
A time to show off your skills.”
At the end of the sentence, Tarun seemed to sigh melancholy for a while.
"Thank you for the reminder, President Talen. I will definitely proceed with caution."
I sincerely thank Tarun.
"Sir, please don't say that. You represent all our adventurers. If you lose your courtesy, we adventurers will lose our courtesy. This is what we should do." Talen said meaningfully.
"Don't worry, I know what to do. I'll ask the president to remind me more in the future."
After saying that, the two of us stopped talking. We continued to take steps and entered the palace gate under the gaze of two rows of soldiers.
Inside was a large and majestic square. Tarun stopped here. Under the leadership of a soldier, I walked slowly towards a tall and majestic palace on a scarlet carpet that stretched all the way to my feet.
"Wow, holy shit, it's really fucking spectacular."
Walking behind the soldiers, I stared at the tall buildings and carved stones around me. I couldn't help but sigh.
"So-so, a bit like a nouveau riche."
From the necklace, the voice of the little ghost came at the right time.
"..."
I have almost forgotten that this little girl is an authentic candidate for a saint, and that era was still peaceful and prosperous, which is not comparable to today. It is normal for a palace of this level not to fall into her eyes.
At the end of the long carpet is a majestic white palace. In front of the palace hall, countless huge carved stone pillars stand tall and tall. Hundreds of soldiers wearing polished armor and holding cold spears stand solemnly on both sides of the carpet.
It was really a grand spectacle. I chuckled to myself. These soldiers standing tall and tall were quite imposing. They should be enough to scare the common people. But even in the eyes of a half-hearted adventurer like me, they were more than imposing. Not murderous enough, so to speak.
To put it nicely, it means that they have been trained for a long time, but they have not experienced the baptism of blood and fire, so they lack experience. To put it more bluntly, it means that they are golden on the outside but ruined on the inside.
Ignoring the soldiers on both sides, I stepped on the carpet and slowly climbed up the high steps to the door of the palace that stood like a giant in front of me.
"Sir, please come in. Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time."
The leading soldier was quite polite, bowed sideways politely, and made a sign to me to come in.
omg, this palace is really spacious, probably not inferior to the cathedral in the monastery. The ceiling is soaring to the sky, which is dazzling. The splendid walls are covered with gorgeous and solemn patterns and angels, which makes me surrounded by a dazzling atmosphere.
There is a solemn and depressing atmosphere.
The scarlet carpet extends to the depths of the palace, with tall and gorgeous stone pillars on both sides. Between each stone pillar, there are two soldiers lined up neatly and intently.
In the deepest part of the palace, I finally saw the majestic Jehaine, sitting on the royal chair made of pure gold and covered with precious soft leather animal rugs, looking at me condescendingly.
I also looked at him. To be honest, in appearance, the King of Lu Gaoyin could not be described as extremely charming. His handsome and mature face revealed a perseverance, and the aura of determination formed by living in a high position for a long time.
He is so majestic that most people would not even be able to raise their heads in front of him. At first glance, he looks like a middle-aged version of Prince Charming in a fairy tale.
It is true that there are no ugly people in the royal family.
It was slow at first, but fast at other times. In fact, we only looked at each other for a short moment. After taking in the other person's appearance, I took off my cloak and hat with a little respect, leaned my upper body forward slightly, covered my chest with my hands and saluted.
This movement was specially trained by Alice for more than an hour for me. It cannot be said to be perfect, but it should at least be on the qualified line.
"Your Majesty, Elder Rogge, Druid Wu Fan, salute you."
