Chapter 229: I, Am Looking Forward To It
“Then my personal safety is in your hands, Uncle Hamad.”
The young king finally gathered up his cowardice that could not be shown in front of people and stepped out of the door, without turning his head back he said so to the bedroom where flesh was strewn behind him.
Shortly after the words fell, a sibilant sound rang out, and out of the shadows slowly stepped an old man, who had just gathered his clothes and was a little green in the face, panting and complaining:
“I know you’re under a lot of pressure, but next time I can’t can’t you arrange less girls, I’m also old, I really can’t share too much movement. Moreover, the [Group Memory Modification] scroll is very expensive.”
King Klinsmann, whose face was also a bit green, was stubbornly trying to maintain the last vestige of decency as well:
“Ten is the minimum, I am the new king of Lulvaden.
“And the so-called king, should desire more than people, laugh more than people crazy, anger more than people fire, live more vivid than anyone, both clear and turbid, intoxicating, so that the courtiers can look up, fascinated by the king, for the king applauded for the king, for the king crazy, so that the heart of every citizen invisible born out of the ‘king should be like this’ vision, unite all the warriors, and let the people of Lurvaden, the King of Klingsman is also a little green. This is the way to make the ministers look up to the king, to be fascinated by him, to applaud him, to be crazy about him, to make every citizen invariably have a vision of ‘this is the way a king should be’ in their hearts, to unite all the warriors’ desires, and to become a benchmark for them to follow.
“And is this not the philosophy that you yourself taught me, a lost royal bloodline, when you picked me up from the slums? Dear Uncle Hamad?”
Rather like the legendary Hamad who had finally hit his head with a boomerang, he sniffed and sighed long and hard:
“Prepare yourself well, there are quite a few warriors who have responded to your king’s order today, and it is rumored that the legendary legion martial arts chief of the Vitali Empire will also be invited, so that would make three legends who are not in our control, counting Nafirutari, the Drow matriarch, who may be accompanying Earl Pablo.”
“Don’t I still have you by my side? Uncle Hamad.” Klinsmann laughed sagely.
“Your grandfather, who has yet to be masked, died violently in front of me, and to this day, I have not even been able to find the real murderer behind the scene. Such a me, can I really be able to protect you in such a situation surrounded by strong enemies? My child.”
Hamad couldn’t help but bring up this past event that made him regret it for the rest of his life.
The violent death of the late king had also made him, as a royal guard, a target of criticism, and the culprit of Lulvaden’s decline.
This incident had crushed his confidence, and became an insurmountable barrier that stopped his legendary destiny in its tracks.
The young king restrained his smile, turned around, looked at the old man who was also his mentor and father, his hands gently covered his shoulders that had become slightly thin because of the years, and said with unprecedented solemnity:
“No matter what others think of you, I have always believed that no matter what, you will guard me with your life, because I am the light that you have searched for in the world for more than ten years in the Middle Kingdom, the hope of revitalizing Lulvaden, isn’t it? If the light of my life were to be extinguished before the blade of your sword, that would be our fate, and that of Lulvaden.”
Here, Klinsmann took his uncle, who had devoted his life and faith to the royal family of Lulvaden, into his arms, and soothed the old man as if he were a child:
“But don’t worry, Uncle Hamad, I’m not going to die so easily, I’ll do everything I can to salvage Lulvaden’s sagging fortunes, no matter how thorny and painful the road ahead is, no matter how much slander and insults I suffer, I’ll be unwavering, and I’ll live on. I, that is, am the last hope of Lulvaden.”
Saying such arrogant but full of a sense of mission and responsibility, he gently patted the old man’s shoulder and added a sentence in his heart:
No matter, by what means.
At the end of his speech, he turned resolutely, lifted the crimson curtain of the city’s observation deck, and raised his hand in a smile amidst the cheers of thousands of people and the colorful falling petals.
“Your Majesty!” For a moment, the noble lords who had been watching the Warrior Selection event from the viewing platform for a long time rose up and bowed in salute.
Even how much they usually disdained this young king, at this time when everyone was watching, they had to act as if they were warm and loyal to the general.
Among them were Count Pablo, who was meeting him for the second time since his ascension to the throne, and Nafirutari, the Drow matriarch whom he had seen for the first time and who had always followed him around as a female companion.
The young king breathed a sigh of relief until he confirmed his identity with his uncle.
A Legendary Drow who stayed in the open was far more reassuring than one who stayed in the shadows.
“Your Majesty Klinsmann, I have been invited to observe the ceremony by order of Emperor Melt.” Then he saw a robust, tall and handsome-faced knight get up and extend his hand.
“It is a pleasure to meet you, and thank you for coming, Kasim Wushu Chief, I have grown up with your legendary battles since I was taught combat lessons at a young age.”
King Klingsman, however, looked as if he did not feel the slightest bit insulted by the slightest degradation, and with a warm smile on his face, he shook the knight’s hand that was cold from wearing the hand armor.
Such words, similar to meeting an idol, gave enough face to the emissary of the Vitali Empire without falling into an overly humble image for the populace.
With that said, he also turned his head towards the War Patriarch beside Kasim’s Martial Arts Chief, who accompanied him throughout the entire journey but kept a cold face and was unwilling to open his mouth, nodded and smiled in salute.
Although nowadays, the War Patriarch’s fall from powerful divine power was not a secret in the top echelons of the various powers.
But as the saying goes, a thin camel is bigger than a horse, the Vitali Empire relied on the God of War sect as the state religion, ate enough war dividends, and now, at least in the continent of Ailarea Middle Earth, it’s still a behemoth that Luwalden can hardly look up to.
It is said that the God of War is frustrated, the cause is precisely the crimson plague believes in the five-colored god queen Tiamat initiated.
So much so that today’s God of War sect hates dragons with a passion.
Now that they have heard that the port of Worrens in Lewaldon has been occupied by the heir of the Crimson Scourge, this is the most crucial opportunity for cooperation between them.
Klinsmann felt that he had to seize this opportunity and tie the Vitali Empire together in this battle against the dragons.
After the king arrived and reached out to signal the guests to resume their seats, he made some tentative pleasantries.
Kasim’s martial arts chief even gave a meaningful glance at the young king who had been king for only three years but had at least restored the Lulvaden capital in a sustained and well-organized manner:
“Your Majesty Klinsmann, I have to say that your calling power is completely out of my expectation, never would I have thought that this time, besides the famous legendary dragonslayer warrior Baptiste being invited by you, you would actually be able to invite so many fey warriors that make my eyes water when I look at them.”
Klinsmann was a little surprised in his heart when he heard this, but he feigned a humble look that he had known this was the case and said:
“Doesn’t this precisely prove my sincerity and determination in inviting the warriors of the Middle Kingdom this time? In order to organize this ceremony, we, Lewaldon, have exhausted our national resources.”
Due to miss the front may be more tedious and bland selection event, in the proctor of the dancers, he is not likely to have ungrateful guys in the middle of the interruption of pleasure, so that he is a little skeptical of this Kasim Wushu chief even rare initiative to compliment him up.
In his impression, the other party was known for his arrogance, not this kind of person ah!
The right hand that was placed on the armrest immediately hooked, and there was a guard who presented the previous list of participants and even the summary of the results. Klinsmann smiled apologetically, and took advantage of the gap in his tea to flip through the messages on top of the list.
Some of the outstanding battles on the list immediately corresponded with the names of those neutral powerhouses in Middle Earth in his mind.
Just to see the latter gradually frowned:
Zuoer Aliana in five minutes with superb fighting skills unharmed a groundwalking dragon crushed to no resistance.
“Awesome . Zor, could it be Nafirutari’s own guards?”
The ogre Monado met the adult earthbound dragon with his bare hands and subdued it by force.
“. Where did the ogre appear from?” Klinsmann was a bit confused.
The scene nearly boiled over as the barbarian warrior Loxinde settled the fight with a single move.
“Barbarian?” Klinsmann gradually began to realize that it was not good.
Brigand mage Tania descended into the arena with [Dancing Air Art], the dragon beast fell prostrate without a fight, trembling like sifting chaff, and eventually fainted with foaming at the mouth in a disgruntled whisper from the mage.
“???” Klinsmann just felt like the tournament record was playing a joke on him! I’m afraid the record keeper wasn’t a bard turned bard!
Mages facing dragon beasts with partial elemental resistance were originally at a natural disadvantage, and it was possible for some powerful mages to tease or even crush them if they could.
But what is the case of making a powerful dragon beast cowed before battle!
Legendary mage?
He wasn’t arrogant enough to think that he could invite a Legendary Mage, and the treasury might not be able to afford to do so in terms of financial resources nowadays.
Then Klinsmann’s gaze froze in the next line.
After Belkin the Dwarf entered the arena, all of the Earthwalker dragons were restless, and none of them dared to enter the arena, suspected to be .
Legendary powerhouse.
Legendary powerhouses are almost invariably legends who have made a name for themselves in the realm.
But Klinsmann racked his brain and could not recall where he had heard of this name.
Not to mention a dwarf.
Just as drops of sweat appeared on Klinsmann’s forehead, his uncle’s voice came to his ears:
“It’s already been checked out, these guys of unknown origin are all from Nafirutari’s recommended quota. Should we be on guard to clear the area in advance?”
Klinsmann, however, shook his head at the first moment at the equally suspicious Kasim martial arts chief, signaling that this Dwarf Legend that had suddenly appeared was equally out of his expectation.
At the same time, on the other side of the room, he discouraged:
“No, since Nafirutari dared to put this Legendary powerhouse out in the open, she must still have a backhand, and it may not necessarily be a three-on-two situation if we really get into a fight.”
Saying that, he turned his head and glanced at Zuoer Nafirutali, who seemed to be equally ‘unaware’ of the situation as she was cuddled up in Count Pablo’s arms, and responded with a magical transmission:
“And the situation is still unclear, if I were Nafirutari, I would never pick this time to make a move on me, even if she succeeded in killing me, what she would get would only be a completely disintegrated Lewaldon, and she would even incur a blow from the Vitali Empire for ‘openly provoking’ the Vitali Empire. Empire.
“The most important thing is that, for Drow, hand cards, are always the most powerful when they are saved in the hand and drawn out.
“Let’s ‘wait and see what happens’ first, I have a feeling that she is more interested in utilizing this hand card to gain something from me, in other words, perhaps, she wants to negotiate with me.”
He would like to see what other gifts and surprises this Drow would bring him.
As long as this time, he could successfully solve the dragon trouble in Warrens Harbor, and regain the tax-heavy Warrens Harbor, he didn’t mind, giving up some more price.
With the passage of time, as the sun dwindled, accompanied by a game of ‘Brave Dragon’ tournament gradually rendered the grand ceremony to the peak, and had long heard that the finale of this time, and even has been for the Middle Kingdom several times to solve the dragon trouble, in the early years, even slayed a young red dragon.
“Finally, please welcome our special guest this time, at the same time is also the core figure of our dragon by dragon plan this time, walks the legend of the countries, the dragon’s nemesis, the slayer of the Crimson Flame, the dragon slayer warrior–His Excellency Baptiste!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Accompanied by the attendant’s grand introduction, the excited audience in the arena rejoiced.
“In contrast, we are also well aware that both earthbound dragons and dragon beasts are completely unable to display the demeanor of our Dragon Slaying Warrior, and for this reason, we have purposely leased a real dragon from the Dark Region Drow for this extravaganza, a magnificent white dragon as His Excellency Baptiste’s opponent, with the ‘prey’ for this performance match. ‘.”
Speaking here, the presiding attendant’s voice suddenly paused unnaturally and coughed lightly twice, saying:
“I’m sorry, there were some unforeseen circumstances, this white dragon was afraid of His Excellency Baptiste’s fame should be stimulated to bite off its own tail, it is not suitable to continue to perform the showmanship match, but all guests please rest assured, in order to prevent this kind of unforeseen circumstance, we also prepared a young red dragon in advance, I wonder if you, His Excellency Baptiste, would you mind temporarily replacing your opponent? ”
Hearing this, Klinsmann on the viewing platform looked more and more out of place, his hands clenched.
How come he hadn’t heard of even preparing a dragon in advance? A real dragon wasn’t a cabbage in the ground.
But the uninformed populace marveled and cheered at their king’s boldness and foresight.
“Of course I don’t mind, moreover, you guys are mistaken about one thing, what’s so challenging about a white dragon, a red dragon, even if it’s a youthful red dragon, may not necessarily be weaker than a stout white dragon, quite the contrary, a red dragon’s showmanship, may be stronger instead, let it out, I, for one, am looking forward to it.”
“Alright, since our Legendary Dragonslayer Warrior has no opinion, then, please welcome our ‘challenger’ of the day for His Excellency Baptiste, the great Red Calamity’s Son!
“The Dragon of Burning Steel!
“Lord of the Katgana Mountains!
“Guardian of Port Vorenz –
“Safistuin Calatruka Davyutos Sedepunga!!!”
The entire square erupted in clamor.
“What?!!!” Klinsmann, who was in his seat, catapulted up like his ass was on fire and looked incredulously towards the other exit of the arena, but there was no sign of the nightmare that haunted his nightmares today.
