Leaving the palace study, Garen headed to the Black Fire Palace under the protection of the four Black Fire Guards.
The Black Fire Palace is a dark palace with dark red patterns engraved on it.
Seen from above, it looks like a standard triangle, surrounded by dark red columns, and different huge black symbols are engraved on the columns. I don't know what the meaning is.
Opposite the Black Fire Palace is the Eleventh Palace of the Eleventh Princess, and the two stand opposite each other.
Garen left the office area, walked through the public area, and walked directly onto the small stone bridge leading to the Black Fire Palace. Four Blackflame heavy guards followed behind him, all wearing thick black cloaks, giving off a cold and forbidding feeling.
The maid guards passing by all saluted him in awe.
Before entering the Black Fire Palace, one has to pass through the Eleventh Palace.
It was early in the morning, and in the open-air corridor in front of the Eleventh Palace, a maid in red was leading a young man towards the Eleventh Palace.
The man's face was calm, but there was a hint of anxiety in his eyes. He looked unattractive, but the contrast between his face and his eyes gave off a weird sense of incongruity.
When Garen passed outside the corridor, he suddenly glanced at the maid and the man she was leading from a distance.
At this time, the maid was bending over to salute, and even the man had to bow to salute.
"Who is that person?" Gallon stopped in his tracks and asked a guard beside him.
"My lord, that man is a guest who came to see Princess Eleven, and he is a commoner outside." The male guard was also startled by Garen's sudden voice, and quickly replied.
"The man who came to see His Highness the Eleventh?" Garen frowned, thinking about his previous guess. "Let him go."
"But... that person is the person His Highness the Eleventh personally specified to see." The guard was a little embarrassed. He was the personal guard of the Eleventh Palace. He knew from the tone of His Highness's instructions that this person was very important to His Highness.
"Has he been here many times?" Garen asked suddenly.
"Yes." The guard nodded in embarrassment.
"From now on, without my order, this person is not allowed to enter the palace." Garen left without saying a word, and strode away.
The heavy armor of the four Blackflame heavy guards stomped on the ground, giving off a dull power.
*********************
Snapped! !
Crash! !
Eleventh Princess Tina slammed a vase on the ground.
"Go to hell!"
"Die, die, die!!"
Tina locked herself in the study room by herself, and smashed everything that could be smashed in the soundproof study room.
"I'm so pissed off! Damn Garen! Damn Black Fire Palace!! It's none of your business if I want to meet someone?!"
Fragments of porcelain and crystal were scattered all over the floor, and the whole room was in chaos.
She dared not make a loud noise outside. There is a black fire heavy guard outside the palace. Recently, an order came from the master of the black fire palace that she is not allowed to go out at will. If she needs to go out, she must ask Garen for instructions.
This made Tina tremble even more. The people from Baker's Eye she wanted to summon could not be seen, and now even she was under house arrest in her own palace.
But she has nowhere to complain. In the heart of his father, King Avic, ten princes and daughters are no match for one right-hand man, not to mention that Garen is one of the empire's top masters, a top totem master. Don't talk about house arrest, even if Garen has taken a fancy to him, it is estimated that Avic will marry without saying a word.
After venting, Tina finally began to calm down.
"What should I do now? I can't even get out of the palace, and they can't get in. If I want to escape from here, I have to find another way."
In just a few short weeks, the reputation of the nine-headed demon dragon Garen gradually became famous throughout the entire imperial capital. Tied with Garland Sword Aidin as the two strongest generals under Avic.
Of course, in the eyes of outsiders and enemies, the two are Avic's most loyal two-headed eagle dogs. Perhaps the status is much higher than that of the eagle dog, but there is no doubt that this is the role.
Although Ai Ding is a genius and powerful, he doesn't care about management and is not good at it. Garen was different, he firmly held the power in his own hands. His black fire guardian god is mysterious and powerful, and all black fire giant wolves are extremely ferocious. Coupled with the powerful equipment made by the royal family, each Blackflame heavy guard has the strength to single out two totem masters of the same level.
No matter who wants to attack Avek, they must first go through the two lines of defense of Aidin and Garen.
*******************
another week later
Inside the Black Fire Palace
Garen walked into the side hall on the left side of the palace hall and came to a small room.
The door of the small black room was open, and a young man with black ponytail was sitting inside.
Seeing Garen coming in, the young man stood up immediately with a smile on his face.
"Garon, are you done with today's work?"
"Didn't you go to your grandfather's?" Garen walked over and sat opposite the young man.
There was a low table between the two of them, on which were two cups of steaming hot black tea.
There was a faint aroma of black tea in the small room.
This young man was Bai Lan whom I hadn't seen for a long time.
This guy who grew up with Aishiya had contacted Garen a few days ago. Gallon went to visit Bai Lan's grandfather, Bai Nuoke. Of course, it was mainly to visit my friend Bai Lan.
This guy is not living a normal life now. Although he does not have the qualifications of a totem master, he has a grandfather who likes him, and the family naturally cares about him. Plus Garen's visit and statement.
His current status has risen sharply in the whole family. Although it cannot be called an heir, at least it is very important.
"My grandfather went hunting. The weather has been good recently. It has been sunny for many consecutive days. Grandpa was so excited that he rode a horse and went out." Bai Lan shook her head, "It's a pity that I'm not a totem master, otherwise I would like to see .”
"Come to find me so early, is there something urgent?" Garen picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea.
"That's not true, it's just that I plan to marry Marlene." Bai Lan said with a smile. This guy is more mature than before.
"What about Andalu?" Garen looked as if he had expected it, without any surprise.
"Andalu's family is in some trouble. Most of her family members were attacked by monsters and died. Only she and her aunt are left in the whole family. The last few times I asked her out to play, I feel more and more dull." Bai Lan Said with a frown.
The four of them have had the best relationship since childhood, but now because of the turmoil, each of them has experienced ups and downs in life.
If Garen hadn't been fighting for himself, his family would probably be ruined by now. Even if he survived, he would be in a situation similar to that of Andalu.
Although Bai Lan's family is powerful, but at that time, with his power and influence, being able to send people to pick up his friends was already the limit of what he could do.
"Help her as much as you can." Garen sighed.
"So I'm here this time." Bai Lan nodded. "Xiaolu intends to go to the palace to find something to do, so that she can be self-reliant and not burden her aunt. See if you can find something for him."
"Enter the palace?" Garen frowned. "It's not that I don't want to. This matter is actually just a matter of my words. But as a good friend, I really don't want her to enter the palace now."
Bai Lan paused, showing a slight look of thought.
Garen continued. "After a while, I will tell her after a while that there should be no problem with the palace manager."
"How long will it take? You know, if it's just a general position, I wouldn't bother to come to you. I can handle it myself." Bai Lan raised her eyebrows.
"It goes without saying, it's definitely not an ordinary position!" Garen laughed.
"She said that she would like to enter the palace as soon as possible, the sooner the better. Anyway, she is idle at home." Bai Lan shook her head, "The current situation of her family is very bad. You understand the basics, after all, many things are disputes within the family, and we are just outsiders."
Garen immediately understood what he meant.
Andalu must have lost all of her relatives, and her distant relatives wanted to come over to divide up the property. According to the formal law, it is only natural to do so. But how to divide this is that there is a lot of room for manipulation. She urgently needs a better position now, at least she must have a certain amount of power and influence in her hands, so that she can restrain the greedy wolves of the family.
"I can understand her difficulties, so I still think it's best to arrange for her to enter the palace as soon as possible." Bai Lan said in a low voice, picked up the black tea, rubbing the cup against her lips, but didn't drink much, just blew gently .
"Then what position does she want the most?" Garen pondered for a moment, but finally opened his mouth. He knew that now Andalu was too embarrassed to come to meet old friends like them, and only Marlene still had a close relationship with her. Since Bai Lan could ask her to come here, Bai Lan took the initiative. Obviously the situation has reached a more troublesome point. It's better not to affect a few layers, and then come to find yourself.
"From what she said, she hopes to find a job suitable for women." Bai Lan replied.
Garen nodded slowly.
"The only jobs suitable for women are the Finance Department, Gardening Department, and the Palace of the Queen. There are such gaps in the three places. Since my friend is entering the palace, naturally the position can't be too bad."
He thought for a while, "Well, I'll give her three positions, the deputy director of finance, the flower director of the gardening department, and the maid of the palace. I can decide which position she wants from these three positions."
"Okay. Then I'll go back and tell her." Bai Lan stood up readily. He knew that it was very interesting for Garen to present three positions for Andalu to choose. After all, he is not alone in power in the palace, there is also the Silver Palace, the Eldest Princess, and His Majesty. It is also impossible for him to reach out to a higher position.
"In such a hurry to go back? Why don't you sit a little longer?" Garen said with a smile.
"No, Marlene and Xiaolu are still waiting for news from me."
"What's the matter in the future, why don't they just come to me directly? We're old friends, so there's no need to be so alien?" Garen frowned.
"It's because your status is different now. Last time, Marlene planned to bring Xiaolu to find you, but she just glanced at you from a distance, and she dared not come up to strike up a conversation. You were so frightened!" Bai Lan said angrily. . "As far as your usual aura is concerned, who dares to say hello to you rashly, as if anyone who provokes me will die?"
"No way? Am I that fierce?" Garen rubbed his chin with a puzzled look on his face.
"When you go out, you must bring four elite black cloaks. You are wearing a two-meter-high heavy armor. Even if you smile, you can scare people to death." Bai Lan shook her head and was speechless. "Do you know what rumors are circulating about you?"
"What words?"
"Say you eat ten virgins raw every day, and you like to collect the hearts of strong people. When you are unhappy, you can stare at people with a single look. Your arms are as thick as your waist, and your thighs can't hug anyone. Your teeth can bite through steel plates with one bite. "
"Stop, stop, stop!!" Seeing that Bai Lan's words became more and more outrageous, Garen's face was blackened, and he quickly stopped his words. "Who said this?"
Bai Lan shook his head.
"I don't know, that's how it got out anyway. To be honest about some of your recent stories, it's true." He glanced at Garen's face, and couldn't continue talking.
"It's just killing a few more people, and these people spread rumors." Garen narrowed his eyes slightly.
Bai Lan was speechless.
How many people were killed? The fourth princess couldn't see the situation clearly when the Blackfire Guard was patrolling, so she fought against Garen for a close guard. Later, he actually revealed his identity and pressured Gallon, saying that he was just a dog of the royal family, a servant.
As a result, the Black Fire Guard killed everyone in the palace except the fourth princess. A total of ninety-six people were hanged overnight. There is not even a maid serving tea in the entire Fourth Palace.
That's it, Aiweike actually asked the fourth princess to apologize to Garen in public.
Not only this matter, in the recent large-scale cleansing operation, as long as it is suspected by the black fire guard, it is almost dead.
In the name of investigating spies, the Blackfire Guard cleaned up the entire palace. Anyone who disagreed was directly executed by Garen. The number of executions has risen to more than 300 people.
For the imperial capital, which had always been stable and peaceful, Garen had undoubtedly become an out-and-out butcher! Executioner!
