It cannot but be said that Crown Prince Yawen has been carefully trained as a royal aristocrat since childhood, and his every word and deed carries the etiquette of an aristocrat. He looks polite and gentle, but there is no trace of the murderous look that he showed when he drew his sword to kill someone in the palace today.
This peace negotiation involves almost all the countries in the Roland continent. Except for a few kingdoms that have close contact with the temple, almost all the kingdoms have sent diplomatic envoys to the royal capital of Sauron. The Kingdom of Sauron is undoubtedly the leading figure in this peace negotiation. Although the peace negotiation has been finalized, these people can't help but feel a little curious about Rody, the special envoy of the Bright Continent, and there is also a hint of friendship in his words...
Seth was so entangled by the crown prince that he could not escape, but Rody had to concentrate on dealing with the diplomatic envoys from various kingdoms in Roland Continent around him.
Fortunately, Rody already had a lot of experience in dealing with situations like this, and from time to time he took the opportunity to secretly observe the words and deeds of His Royal Highness Crown Prince Yavin.
His Highness Yawen seemed to be aloof from the incident tonight. He did not mention anything about today's peace talks in his words. He just casually chatted with Seth about some of the scenery, anecdotes, and strange sights of the Bright Continent. Rody frowned secretly in his heart. He really couldn't guess why the Crown Prince's attitude changed so much tonight.
While I was thinking, I heard someone announcing from outside: The right minister has arrived!
Rody's eyes lit up: Right phase? !
The right minister's attitude in the palace today is extremely subtle and ambiguous. According to common sense, the right minister should be the one who helps the king arrange peace talks, but his fierce and tough attitude today makes people have to doubt him.
What's more, after leaving the palace, everyone had suspected that the right minister might have leaked his whereabouts to Roland Continent! The events along the way were like shadows chasing after each other. You may not have any relationship with him!
The old right minister's expression was as usual when he walked in. This powerful figure who had occupied a high position in the Kingdom of Sauron for decades seemed to have no concern at all about what happened in the palace today. He greeted everyone gently and politely, and then walked directly towards Rody.
"Your Excellency, Count Rody, are you still used to being here?" The old right-hand man smiled warmly, with no hint of disguise on the smile on his face. His sincere look made Rody sigh secretly - another one. Old Marquis Caroline!
Roddy talked and smiled. Nodding slightly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very hospitable. I am very happy here tonight." There was a slight pause. Pay attention to the old guy's face and see nothing unusual. Rody continued: "I didn't expect to see the right minister here tonight. It seems that you have a good personal relationship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The old right minister sighed deliberately: "Thanks to the trust of His Majesty the King, I have also served as the teacher of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." As if he was unwilling to talk about this topic, he asked again: "Do you need anything in the palace, Lord Earl?" You are a distinguished guest. If you have anything, please feel free to tell me directly!”
Rody nodded. He hesitated for a moment, and suddenly an idea came to his mind. He decided to strike straight at him, and couldn't help but stab him: "Everything is fine. His Majesty the King has sent strict soldiers to protect him, at least it won't look like a I was so scared on the road.”
The old right minister's expression did not change at all, but he said calmly: "It's just a little disturbance. Your Excellency, the earl, is extremely powerful, so he probably won't take it seriously." He squinted his eyes, smiled like a standard old fox, and looked at Roddy then said: "I heard that Lord Earl killed three Dragon Paladins by himself. With such strength, how could a few assassins who overestimate their abilities be put in your eyes?"
Rody immediately shook his head and smiled: "I'm afraid you have also heard the exaggerated legend. Those holy knights were the ones where the black veil saint and Lord Augustine solved the problem. If I hadn't met them, I might not have been able to come to the royal capital alive. You must not say that, I am really ashamed."
There was some deep meaning in the eyes of the old right minister, and he deliberately took a deep look at Rody. Seeing that Rody's expression was as usual, the old right minister seemed a little doubtful, but he still believed it.
After all, if one person can kill three Paladins, he is simply a legendary mythical figure. The old right prime minister himself didn't believe in that kind of reward.
The two of them poked fun at each other for a few words. The old right minister suddenly sighed, deliberately glanced at the crown prince who was chatting enthusiastically with Seth, and said in a low voice: "I was in the palace today. I just went out. I saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rushing in angrily... Well, this didn't disturb the Earl, did it? "
The old right minister sighed: "Young people are always restless. I hope I won't cause any more trouble. His Majesty the King kept him in the palace today and scolded him all afternoon."
Rody listened to the words of the old right minister in his ears, but looked at Seth who was almost going crazy, with a bit of a smile in his eyes. The old right minister also followed his gaze and said in a low voice: "Your Excellency, to be honest with you, Earl. I also heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invited you over tonight, and I was afraid that he would cause something else, so I came here to take a look. I didn’t expect that he and Miss Nicole got along very well. It seems... His Majesty’s lesson today was very effective.”
Rody's heart tightened, and a thought immediately flashed across his mind. What did he seem to be hinting at
Could it be that he was implying to himself that Crown Prince Yawen deliberately approached "Miss Nicole" so deliberately because of the king's instructions
… Well, that seems to make sense. After all, if we can establish a relationship with the Tulip family, it will be somewhat beneficial to the Kingdom of Sauron, which is now facing a formidable enemy like the temple!
Everyone knows that the Tulip Family is the most powerful one in the Bright Empire. If you join the Tulip Family, it means you have a super strong supporter in the south!
Thinking of this, Rody narrowed his eyes, as if he couldn't see through the right prime minister in front of him.
This old guy, which side is he on
Temple? It doesn’t seem like it! After all, he is the right minister of Sauron Kingdom, and he is also involved in this peace negotiation. But he doesn't seem to be completely loyal to the king...
Over there, Crown Prince Yavin saw Rody talking with the right minister, and then he and Seth came over. Seth seemed to finally relax. There seemed to be sweat on his forehead, and he glared at Roddy fiercely. Standing next to Roddy.
"Your Excellency, you are here too!" Yawen seemed a little surprised to see the arrival of the Right Minister - he had been focusing on "Miss Nicole" just now, and as the host, he didn't even notice that a distinguished guest had arrived!
The right minister squinted his eyes and smiled: "Your Highness, you have a good arrangement here tonight, but I don't know if there are any other programs?"
Yawen smiled and turned to Rody. He said, "I heard that Your Excellency the Earl is also a general in the Empire of Light. Is that right?" There seemed to be a hint of provocation in his words.
Rody nodded with a smile. He deliberately said calmly: "Yes, I was fortunate enough to have fought with Duke Tulip in Thunder City! It is a lifetime honor for me to win that great victory for the empire!"
As soon as he said this, the crown prince's face immediately turned ugly - after all, that war, the "great victory" of the Bright Empire, was implying the disastrous defeat of the Roland people.
Yawen gritted his teeth. He laughed deliberately and said, "Did your lord, the Earl, once serve under Duke Tulip?"
Rody nodded: "I was once the captain of the Duke's personal soldiers!"
"Oh?" Yawen's eyes lit up.
Duke Tulip is famous all over the world, even in Roland Continent. For this contemporary famous general with outstanding achievements. As a warrior, Yawen was also very curious.
"I have also heard of the name Duke Tulip in Roland Continent. I wonder what kind of person he is?"
Rody seemed to hesitate for a moment, as if he didn't know how to answer. To put it nicely, after all, the Tulip Duke is actually himself. Even though Rody is now much thicker-skinned, he is still embarrassed to boast. If not, as a special envoy of the Empire of Light, and once a general under Duke Tulip...
While he was hesitating, Seth next to him said angrily: "Duke Tulip? He's just a stupid boy. Apart from having some strength and being able to juggle a few swords, his head is full of mush!"
As soon as these words came out, several people laughed. Everyone took this "Miss Nicole's" words as a joke. It’s just that Rody knew in his heart that Seth was angry that he was teasing him like this and took the opportunity to scold him in person.
Yawen seemed to smile, then changed the topic, looked at Rody and continued: "I wonder what position the Earl currently holds in the Emperor of Light?"
Rody did not speak, but the right minister already said: "I heard that Count Rody originally served in the Thunder God's Whip and is now the commander of the Royal Guards of the Empire of Light! Your Highness, you are also from our Royal Knights, and the two of you are quite good. it's fate."
Yawen smiled and seemed a little proud - after all, he considered himself to be quite talented and learned, and he had a good record since he was a knight. Unlike most noble playboys, he himself had always been proud of this.
The Crown Prince was obviously very satisfied with what the old right minister said, and deliberately said calmly: "It's just a pity that I am now in charge of the navy under His Majesty's order. I was not able to go to the front line in person during that war, and I was not able to see your country's world-famous Thunder God's Whip with my own eyes. It is really a pity. Ah..." He said "It's a pity", but there was a hint of pride on his face.
Seemingly seeing a small badge on the outfit Roddy was wearing, His Highness Yawen asked curiously: "Your Excellency, what does this badge mean?"
Rody frowned. He could see that the young crown prince was knowingly asking questions. Compared with the acting skills of the old right prime minister, he was still too immature. But Rody still calmly replied: "This is the warrior symbol of our empire, this one." The badge indicates that I was lucky enough to be awarded the title of Level 5 Imperial Warrior."
The crown prince's eyes lit up: "Level 5 warrior!" He suddenly waved his hand and shouted: "Come here!"
As if prepared, a burly man strode out from behind. This man was about thirty years old, stout and tall. Although he was wearing casual clothes, he strode with a steady pace and had a resolute expression on his face. From the way he walked. Rody could tell at a glance that the opponent was definitely a powerful senior knight!
This man walked along, looking at the ground with his eyelids lowered. But his hands were holding a long, narrow, dark box.
Rody frowned slightly - the other party was obviously prepared, but he didn't know what his move meant.
Do you want to find someone to fight with you? To embarrass yourself by defeating yourself on the ground in front of the diplomatic envoys from various kingdoms in Roland Continent? It's somewhat possible... After all, the crown prince seems to be opposed to peace talks. Young people are very angry and want to take this opportunity to express their anger. It is a normal mentality.
Yawen smiled deliberately and said loudly: "Your Majesty the Earl is young and promising, and he is also a warrior. I really admire him in my heart. I have always been good at martial arts. I like to collect some weapons on weekdays. This is a weapon I found a month ago. A sword, no matter how strong it is, can be broken with just one cut! Are you interested in tasting it together?"
Although he asked in disguise, he had already opened the box and took a sword in his hand.
This is a standard cross-cutting sword used by Roland knights in the traditional sense. The blade of the sword presents a sharp inverted triangle starting from the sword head. There is also a blood groove on the sword! There are several unknown gems inlaid on the swallowing mouth, shining with radiant brilliance! Rody could tell at a glance that those few gems might be a bit bright. Most of them were blessed with magic!
The blade of the sword was sharp and glowed faintly with a faint green light. It was obviously a sharp weapon that had been tempered thousands of times. The style of the sword body is quite primitive, and one can tell at a glance that this sword must have some extraordinary origins!
Especially the hilt of the sword has a faint yellow tint, making it look very old. Judging from Roddy's experience, that faint yellow color is definitely not an ordinary eye color—it's blood stains! That was the look that naturally appeared after being soaked in countless blood. The blood had soaked into the hilt of the sword and could not be wiped off!
This is obviously not an ordinary sword, but a murderous weapon that has truly experienced life and death combat!
"Your Majesty, what do you think of this sword?" The Crown Prince deliberately flicked the sword's edge with his finger, and the sword immediately made a crisp low sound.
Rody sighed and said seriously: "What a sword!"
Yawen looked at Roddy with satisfaction, and his face showed a bit of satisfaction, saying: "In order to get this sword, I spent three years looking for it, and spent tens of thousands of gold coins to buy it from others. Come on! Speaking of this sword, it has a lot of background!" At this point, he deliberately stopped talking and looked at Rody and Seth, as if waiting for the other party to ask.
It's just that he found the wrong person in his showoff.
Who is Roddy? What kind of weapon has he not seen? Not to mention the legendary artifacts such as "Dracula's Spear" and "God-Killing Bow", even the Dragon Tooth Sword and the Dragon Curse Scimitar are one-of-a-kind treasures!
As for Seth, this guy has not been interested in this kind of sword-wielding since he was a child. Whether a sword is good or bad has no interest in him at all.
Seeing that the two of them just nodded without asking, Yawen seemed a little embarrassed. Fortunately, the old right minister was an understanding person and immediately lent him a step to the crown prince and asked, "I wonder what the magical origin of your highness's sword is?"
His opening saved the crown prince's siege. Yawen glanced at him with some gratitude, and then said: "In the history of Roland continent, there have been a total of ninety-six holy knights in the temple! These holy knights have appeared in the temple. Every one of the knights is the best master of our time! And this sword is the weapon used by the most legendary knight in the history of our Roland continent, who is known as the strongest paladin for hundreds of years!"
Yawen deliberately looked mysterious, but unfortunately Rody's reaction was also very calm - Paladin? The paladin himself killed four of them. I haven't seen anything powerful, so what's so great about the weapons they use
Seth and Rody didn't know the history of Roland Continent, but the old right minister did. He couldn't help showing a bit of surprise in his eyes, and couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, the person you are talking about cannot be... "
Yawen nodded sternly and lowered his voice: "That's the paladin from hundreds of years ago! It's the paladin who was known as the strongest paladin in hundreds of years. In the end, he was kicked out of the temple and defeated and hunted by himself. His other two paladins are the ones known as the ‘Century Shame of the Temple’!”
Roddy finally became somewhat interested: "The shame of the temple? Your Highness, the experience of the paladin you mentioned seems a bit unusual!" Even Seth couldn't help but be a little curious.
Yawen's expression was serious, but his voice was lowered. He looked at "Miss Nicole" next to him, and whispered in a flattering voice: "This matter has always been an unavoidable story in the temple. Just because of this matter The incident once brought disgrace to the temple! Speaking of that knight, he was once recognized as the number one master in the Roland continent hundreds of years ago! He once went to the World of Warcraft Forest to hunt countless high-level Warcraft alone, and even went to the Dragon Clan territory alone, and was killed all over. Retreat! But then..." At this point, Yawen was a little vague and continued: "Later, because of some things, the paladin had a conflict with the temple and betrayed the temple alone. The elders of the temple were angry! , ordered to hunt him down and execute him for apostasy, and sent two other paladins to take action. However, the two paladins were defeated by him, and the master disappeared. ! This incident had a great impact at the time. One of the three paladins of the temple rebelled, and the other two were defeated, which made the temple lose face! So this story has been kept secret by the temple!"
Speaking of this, His Highness Yawen said proudly: "This sword is the weapon used by that master back then. I spent countless twists and turns to get it!"
As expected, Rody's curiosity was aroused and he couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, do you know the name of the strongest paladin you mentioned?"
His Highness Yawen took a deep breath, and said slowly, as if with a hint of reverence: "His name is Tianlie!"
"Cough cough cough!!" When Rody heard this name, he couldn't hold his breath and coughed violently.
