Chapter 228: King Merton
At midnight, a fire broke out in the ruins of Kalanli South City.
But most of the residents were sleeping and they didn't know what was happening.
However, there were quite a few patrolling Kalanli guards who came to the ruins to inspect them.
But they found that the "mercenaries of the slave catching team" were singing and dancing around a lit house, and various barbecued snacks were placed everywhere."
Using a lit house as a bonfire is not unacceptable.
After the guards warned the "mercenaries" to be careful of causing fires, they left with peace of mind, taking a few pieces of barbecue while leaving.
The night passed peacefully.
No one knows that the sky in the capital of Kalanli has changed.
Naturally, King Mayton didn't know. He was sitting on a luxurious carriage pulled by nine dragon beasts, looking at the troops stationed all over the mountains and fields outside, and couldn't help but be speechless.
"Are these troops outside from Kalanli?"
"It shouldn't be. Kalanli's national power has always been at the bottom. If there were so many troops, they wouldn't have annexed me, Meton, long ago?"
King Mayton murmured to himself.
Unlike the kings of other countries, he is a powerful mage from a mage country, and he has also gone to the Southern Continent for further training.
However, based on the principle of preferring to be a chicken head rather than a phoenix tail, he finally did not give up his identity as a prince and followed his mentor to do magic research in the mage tower in the southern continent.
He returned to Merton, killed his two brothers, and even shackled his sister and sank into the emerald sea.
Finally, he held the dagger and forced his father to pass the throne to him.
After the succession to the throne is completed.
He also threw a frost burial spell to his father to die.
King Mayton was not a particularly gifted person, and he could not understand many of the magics taught to him by his mentors. However, he was able to thoroughly learn the cunning, cunning, and ruthless nature of the wizards of the Southern Continent.
"Your Majesty, these seem to be King Winter's troops outside. Have you seen the flag of the golden eagle on a black background? That is the King of Winter's royal flag."
The staff around me explained promptly.
Don't think that King Mayton is talking to himself, otherwise in the next moment, his staff may be pierced by an ice spear and thrown off the carriage.
"Is he actually the Winter King?"
King Mayton nodded when he heard this and said nothing more, but his vigilance had already increased by three points. He had a vague premonition that it was not good.
Arriving at the gate of Kalanli Royal City, the magnificent statues and gilded city wall tiles really opened the eyes of King Mayton.
He has never seen King Kalanli.
Although the two countries are in alliance, the kings usually only communicate through letters.
He originally thought King Kalanli was a funny, elegant and wonderful man.
Now it seems that he is just a nouveau riche who has lost his mind.
"This is the royal capital of Kalanli, please present your identity documents!"
He's still the knight guarding the city.
However, he did not rush to intercept the frame. Although the decoration of the frame was not very good, the fact that it could be pulled by the nine-headed dragon beast already showed that the person in the frame was either rich or noble.
"This is the car of His Majesty King Mayton, who was invited to attend the alliance meeting on the Emerald Border."
King Mayton's staff stepped out of the carriage and showed a letter written by King Kalanli to King Mayton. There was a seal stamped at the end of the letter.
The material of this seal is specially made.
The knight guarding the city took out a bowl-shaped object similar to a magnifying glass from his waist and covered the seal.
Immediately after, the seal bloomed with a faint golden light.
This shows that the letter in front of me is indeed King Kalanli's own letter and not an imitation.
"It turns out that King Merton is in front of you. I will open the city gate for you now."
The knight did not dare to neglect, and respectfully performed a knight's salute. Then he trotted to the city wall, opened the switch with force, and the gate creaked and slowly rose up.
The journey was smooth and smooth.
King Merton finally entered the palace of Kalanli without encountering any surprises.
And he also met King Kalanli.
It was an old man wearing a robe sewn with gold thread, a golden crown inlaid with sapphires, and holding a gemstone scepter in his hand. Junqu Pavilion
King Kalanli is as hunched over his throne as a lump of gold.
King Mayton felt that his eyes were a little dizzy, and he keenly discovered that King Kalanli was actually only middle-aged.
Don't know how.
He is obviously a champion knight, but his body is so depleted.
"Good day, Lord Gutes."
There was no awe in his heart, and there was even some contempt in his heart, so King Mayton directly called King Kalanli by his name.
"Good day, Your Majesty Mayton, you are our guest today, don't be formal, just treat this place as your home."
"King Kalanli" looked cheerful and didn't care about King Mayton's provocation at all, appearing to be very kind-hearted.
King Mayton was not polite and found a leather chair and sat down.
He leaned his body back slightly, looking a little carefree and without any restraint.
On the contrary, King Kalanli, who was sitting on the main seat, seemed a bit too upright.
"My time is limited, so I will make a long story short about forming an alliance and how to send troops later. By the way, where is the Winter King?"
King Mayton looked around, but did not find the figure of King Winter, which made his originally lowered vigilance rise again.
Has the Winter King been killed?
However, looking at the old and decrepit King Kalanli, it doesn't look like he can defeat the Winter King.
"His Majesty the Winter King ate the fruit of the parasitic tree yesterday and is still swimming in the ocean of happiness. There are many maids under my command to accompany her. He has given me full authority to handle matters regarding alliances and army deployment."
King Merton almost burst into laughter when he heard this.
Are the fruits of the parasitic tree something that can be eaten casually?
King Gutes of Kalanli also gave him a parasitic tree fruit in his early years.
However, he was cautious and did not eat it.
Instead, he asked his alchemists to study the pharmacology and effects of the fruit of this parasitic tree.
Later, he accidentally got a recipe from his mentor, which was the [Shenming Potion] made from the fruits of the parasitic tree.
The divine potion can only be used once a month.
It can help the mage experience a higher level of spellcasting in advance.
It depends on the dosage.
It can even allow an ordinary mage apprentice to experience the power of a legendary mage in hallucinations in advance.
But the final price is having your brain burned out.
Now the Divine Potion has gradually spread among the top mage circles in the Southern Continent, and more and more mages have put forward the demand for the Divine Potion.
If you only consume a small amount of Shenming potion and realize a realm in advance, you will only be mentally exhausted after the enlightenment is over. This is almost a completely negligible side effect.
But anyway.
Eating the fruit of a parasitic tree directly is a very foolish act.
The hallucinogenic and addictive properties of the fruit are so powerful that even mages known for their spiritual abilities must make it into a divine potion before they dare to use it.
He suddenly understood something.
Why did King Kalanli become like this in his middle age?
They all eat the fruits of parasitic trees.
Now, the Winter King is probably following in his footsteps.
He rolled his eyes.
The army he saw all over the mountains and plains that he saw outside the city came to mind, and he rubbed his fingers unconsciously on his staff.
It’s great to have a holiday on the second day of National Day
