King Hubbard thought he was still worried, so he couldn't help but say:
"You still feel uneasy? Then maybe I can send Wilhelm here, or even ask the Mage's Tower to ask a great sage to come and support you..."
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant."
Feeling that his trip would turn into a grand parade if it continued, Du Lin hurriedly stopped it and said slowly:
"Regarding the issue of safety, I actually have an idea myself. Your Majesty, you only need to give me the necessary preparations for traveling to the Orc Kingdom."
"I see."
Probably knowing the powerful person behind Durin, King Hubbard did not hesitate and quickly nodded and left to prepare for Durin to go to the Orc Kingdom.
Du Lin smiled bitterly and looked at the people in the studio behind him and asked:
"Well, it looks like this vacation is ruined. I have to go on a trip to a foreign country instead. Does anyone of you plan to go with me?"
"… "
After hearing Du Lin's words, everyone was still hesitating, but Aya was the first to turn around and try to run away, but unfortunately, Zat, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, caught her in the first time, making this guy completely lose the chance to escape.
Chapter 419: The Empire will never give up on any of its people!
Chapter 419
After deciding to go to the Orc Kingdom, Durin immediately began to select his entourage.
First of all, considering the current situation of the Orc Kingdom, strong bodyguards are undoubtedly needed. Therefore, Beldia and Leticia, who have reached the super-level undead strength, are naturally the first choice.
As a diplomatic ambassador, considering that he represents the Human Empire, a headless knight like Beldia is clearly not a good choice.
So, he looked decisively at Leticia, who was leaning lazily in her seat, still in a daze as usual.
"Leticia, can you accompany me to the Orc Kingdom?"
"Me?"
Unexpectedly, Durin would choose him. The lich under the cloak let out a deadly smirk and said:
"Of course it's no problem, as long as the people over there in the Orc Kingdom don't mind."
"Ah, this..."
Although he always felt that the other party had something else in his words, Du Lin had no other choice but to include the other party in his entourage.
Once you have bodyguards, other accompanying personnel are more casual. Basically, as long as they are reliable and don't cause any major trouble, it's fine.
Therefore, after thinking for a while, Du Lin chose Zat and Aya and asked them to accompany him to the Orc Kingdom.
The reason for choosing Zat is naturally because he is reliable. Although his ability is weak, there will generally be no mistakes in the tasks assigned to him.
As for why he chose Aya, Du Lin himself didn’t know why, but he always felt that he needed to bring her along on this trip, and maybe she would be of great help.
All of a sudden, when they saw Du Lin make his choice, Helena and others who were not chosen were not dissatisfied, but they were also a little disappointed.
While Zat was delighted, he immediately grabbed Aya who was trying desperately to escape and shouted:
"Hey, what are you doing? Durin asked you to go to the Orc Kingdom with him, so why are you making such a fuss?"
"No! I finally have a holiday, and I just want to eat and sleep, live a lazy life like a pig. I don't want to work or anything like that!!"
"… "
Seeing Aya desperately trying to escape, Du Lin in the distance rubbed his forehead helplessly, doubting whether his choice was correct.
The next day, after receiving many documents for traveling to the Orc Kingdom from King Hubbard, Durin first found Chase.
He originally planned to let the other party rest for a while and then officially start filming the "Fate Stay Night" UBW line.
Therefore, he also let the other party rest for now and start work officially after he returns from the Orc Kingdom.
Afterwards, he returned to Edward Castle after a long absence. After meeting Winry, he told her that he was going to the Orc Kingdom.
"Lord Edward is going to the Orc Kingdom? But isn't it very dangerous there now?"
Seeing Wen Li's worried look, Du Lin said with a smile:
"Don't worry. Not to mention my great strength as a great magician and quasi-great sage, there are also super-class undead like Leticia traveling with me. You don't have to worry about safety."
"Is that so?"
As an ordinary person, Wen Li still didn't know what Du Lin meant by powerful, but seeing Du Lin's confident look, she finally smiled and waved goodbye to Du Lin.
After ending many troubles within the empire, Durin came to the large teleportation array of Northrick.
At the same time, Leticia, Zat, and Aya, who was tied up by Zat with ropes, were also in place.
After confirming that everything was ready, Durin decisively activated the large teleportation array between areas and teleported to the western border thousands of miles away.
…
Behind a continuous range of mountains.
Du Lin looked at the gradually flattened mountain in front of him and said slowly:
"Behind the mountains behind us is the Ludasas Fortress? We are now completely away from the borders of the Empire."
The Human Empire and the Orc Kingdom are separated by continuous mountains, which is an important reason why wars between the two sides are not particularly frequent despite being neighbors.
"I guess Lando and his five daughters have been reunited. Maybe we'll have a chance to make a movie with them again in the future."
The other three did not show much reaction to Du Lin's self-congratulations.
As a super-class lich, Leticia has seen too many such scenes and has no feelings at all.
Zat's mind was filled with the scenes he would face after arriving in the Orc Kingdom, and he was extremely nervous.
Aya has now completely given up on herself, walking sluggishly like an ultimate office worker who has worked overtime for 24 hours and has not yet left work.
In any case, after leaving the territory of the empire, several people immediately began to trek forward.
There is no teleportation array between the Human Empire and the Orc Kingdom. Durin, who has never been to the Orc Kingdom, has no way to perform teleportation. As for Leticia, she doesn't know how to teleport at all.
Therefore, they could only use the simplest way and walk to the capital of the Orc Kingdom.
In this way, after nearly three days of long journey, Aya was so tired that she was dragged by Zat for a long circle, and they finally arrived at the capital of the Orc Kingdom, Bryce.
“We’re finally here.”
As an ordinary second-level swordsman, Zat had used up almost all of his strength.
Even though Durin had cast a large number of auxiliary spells on him, he was still almost exhausted with Aya as a burden.
In contrast, powerful mages like Du Lin and Leticia used their telekinesis almost the entire time, and their physical energy consumption was almost negligible. This also allowed Du Lin to experience the convenience of being a powerful magician again after a long time.
Anyway, after arriving in Bryce, they immediately went to the embassy that the Human Empire had previously established in the Orc Kingdom.
"The embassy is just ahead."
Along the way, facing the nervous gazes of many orcs, although Durin was slightly dissatisfied in his heart, he still maintained a calm appearance.
The order in this place doesn't seem to have completely collapsed, but it is already in a very extreme state and is on the verge of collapse.
Before and after officially arriving at the embassy building, Du Lin's brows suddenly frowned. The embassy in front of him was obviously not in a normal condition. Not only was the door closed, but even the gaps were tightly sealed with wooden boards.
After thinking about it, he slowly knocked on the door.
After a long time, a girl's voice slowly sounded:
"Bad guys, are you here to kill Dad? Dad is already injured."
I didn't expect the little girl to say such words as soon as they met. Du Lin thought about it and smiled:
"Don't worry, I'm not a bad guy, and I won't kill anyone. I'm your companion."
"companion?"
Facing the girl's confusion, Du Lin smiled confidently:
"That's right, and don't worry, now that we are here, no one will hurt you. Because even if you are far away from home, the Empire will never give up on any of its people!"
Chapter 420: I wonder if the so-called movie is really exciting!
Chapter 420
After the girl opened the door, Du Lin successfully led people into the embassy of the Human Empire in the Orc Kingdom.
Seeing the simple furnishings inside and the seemingly shabby environment around it, he immediately realized that this place must have been attacked.
Seeing this scene, although Leticia did not react, Zat obviously did not expect that the Imperial Embassy would become so dilapidated, and showed a worried look on his face.
And Aya actually showed a trace of seriousness for the first time in a long time, but soon this emotion disappeared without a trace, and she returned to her previous dead fish-like state.
While waiting, Du Lin and others learned the girl's name, Nonna.
She is the daughter of Ilo, the head of the embassy.
In addition to the father and daughter, there were several other staff members and guards in the embassy. It was obvious that the Human Empire did not have too many people stationed here.
Soon, after receiving the summons, a lame man came from a distance, supported by a young girl. The man was naturally the person in charge here, Ilo, and the one who supported him was Kroni, an embassy employee.
"Are you the new ambassador sent by the Empire?"
Yiluo showed a doubtful expression on his face. Although he had learned the news, he obviously did not know Du Lin's identity.
Seeing that the new ambassador was such a young man, he was immediately puzzled by the king's choice.
And Du Lin had no intention of explaining this, so he asked:
"What happened here? It looks like there has been an attack."
"Um."
Hearing Du Lin's words, Yi Luo quickly recalled what happened before and said:
"About a month or two ago, civil strife broke out in the Orc Kingdom. General Feng Tre led his army in rebellion, trying to overthrow the current kingdom regime. However, the kingdom prophet learned of the plan in advance and helped the Beast King stabilize the capital of Briss, thus preventing the rebellion. But even so, the rebels still occupied the largest city of the Orcs, Tilat, and used it as a base to attack the capital. Now the entire Orc Kingdom is in a state of civil strife between the Kingdom faction and the War faction."
"I already know this, but what's going on here?"
"We..."
After hearing Du Lin's words, Yi Luo's eyes dimmed slightly, but he still quickly replied:
"As soon as the rebellion started, the Orc Kingdom's security system was completely shut down. The battle between the rebels and the Kingdom's army was so fierce that no one cared about a human embassy like ours. During the chaos, we were attacked many times. The several sword masters who were able to maintain the guard were all seriously injured. Even I broke a leg. Now even ordinary Orc thugs come to harass us from time to time..."
At this point, Ilo sighed helplessly, while Kroni beside him showed an angry expression, obviously unable to accept such a fact.
After understanding everything, Du Lin's expression became slightly serious.
The state of the embassy made him realize more clearly the importance of order.
Therefore, he slowly stood up and said:
"Don't worry. Now that we are here, the safety of the embassy can be fully guaranteed. As for maintaining diplomacy with the Orc Kingdom in the future, I still need to think about it."
"this… "
Unable to understand why a young man like Du Lin could be so confident, Yiluo immediately looked at the people behind him.
But except for Leticia who was wearing a cloak and whose face could not be seen clearly, Zat and Aya were obviously two young people, and he really couldn't feel at ease.
At the same time that Yiluo was lost in thought, Du Lin immediately began to carve a magic circle on the ground.
He at least had to ensure that the embassy could protect itself in the future, rather than leaving Yiluo and others alone and helpless again once he left.
"this… "
When Ivan saw Durin start to carve the magic circle, he immediately showed a surprised expression.
He didn't expect that this young man could cast such advanced magic. At least the intermediate magicians he had seen before were rarely able to depict such complex patterns.
At the same time, Leticia also came in front of him and spoke in a low voice:
"Your leg is broken, but it's only a minor fracture. I'm not good at healing magic, so I can only alleviate your pain a little."
Having said that, Leticia cast a spell on Ilo without waiting for his consent.
In an instant, Yiluo felt that his whole body suddenly relaxed. Although his legs could no longer move freely, he felt much more energetic.
"this… "
All of a sudden, the worries in Iluo's heart disappeared. He had realized that the people sent by the empire this time were all powerful spellcasters.
"dad!"
