Under the little princess's explanation, Li Yan completely understood.
The immortality medicine that the old king always wanted to obtain killed everyone in the palace.
The sudden turn of events forced the third prince, who had returned to a peaceful and comfortable life, to face responsibility.
At the front of the team, the great alchemist whose alchemy manuscript was stolen stood in front of the square, knelt down and saluted the returning third prince:
"Welcome the new king!!"
The Great Alchemist is a valuable fighting force, so even if the old man's manuscript caused tragedy to the royal family, no one would dare to punish him.
The third prince looked at the great alchemist and said softly:
"Mr. Hohenheim, there is no need to be polite."
The great alchemist kept saluting until the knights had gone away, then slowly raised his head.
When he raised his head, he discovered that at some point in front of him, there was a young man with black hair and black eyes.
"A great alchemist actually allowed the precious manuscript of the alchemy formation to be stolen?"
This young man had no breath in his body and looked at himself like this.
Hohenheim's hair has long been gray, but his body is still very strong, and his eyes have a profound light of wisdom. He looked at Li Yan and responded:
"I didn't expect that the king would actually want to steal the research results of the common people."
Li Yan observed the great alchemist. This was fresh material for the great alchemist.
One must be drawn.
At the same time, Li Yan recalled the golden formation formation that had not been heard from for two years.
Maybe this big guy will have a clue?
"Mr. Hohenheim, I have something to ask you."
Hohenheim could feel that the young man in front of him was probably far stronger than himself, otherwise there would not be a faint fear in his heart.
So he nodded slightly and Hohenheim said calmly:
"If my knowledge can help you, I will be happy to answer your questions."
Li Yan had already drawn a golden card, and then said:
"Please wait a moment, I want to know if you have really submitted to the royal family."
As he spoke, Li Yan had already activated his ability. The golden source card in his hand shattered and turned into a golden circle. From top to bottom, he began to collect the power of the opponent's rules.
Hohenheim was only alert for a moment, then stood quietly, letting the harmless golden light pass through.
He couldn't see through this young man.
But he had known for a long time that this young man belonged to the third prince.
Is he testing himself on behalf of the third prince?
Since he had no way of knowing, he could only wait quietly.
When the power of rules was collected, Li Yan raised his hand and caught the shipped golden card.
Then Li Yan looked at the card in his hand, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared in his peaceful eyes.
Gold 8 stars!?
This old man is actually an 8-star gold alchemist!?
this?
Direct shipment and a gold 8-star card?
This is a wild 8-star boss!
When Li Yan was surprised, Hohenheim also spoke again and asked:
"Sir, can you tell me your problem now?"
Li Yan nodded and looked at the opponent's card description.
[Card Description: The person closest to the truth for thousands of years.]
——
this?
Li Yan looked at the card description and felt a little stupid for a moment.
truth!?
For thousands of years?
The other party is a mortal. How can he live for so long in a mortal body?
Li Yan recalled that before, he thought that the other party was just a charlatan who came to the royal city to cheat him out of food and drinks.
Turns out to be just a real boss pretending to be a liar.
They may seem like liars, but they actually have something.
Li Yan looked at the great alchemist. Although his hair was gray, he was full of energy and spirit, and his eyes were full of the light of a wise man.
Thousands of years of accumulated knowledge.
Maybe he really knows the clues to the gold-forged formation.
Li Yan did not look at the opponent's skills, but took back the card and asked directly:
"Mr. Hohenheim, do you know about the existence of the gold refining array?"
Upon hearing Li Yan's question, Hohenheim's eyes immediately narrowed.
Gold refinement formation!?
Li Yan noticed the other party's expression.
At this time, Hohenheim said:
"The gold refining array is said to be one of the original refining arrays in ancient times. It should be buried in ancient ruins now."
"Sir, are you sure what you are looking for is the gold refining formation?"
When Li Yan heard this, he actually had a new clue.
After two whole years, I finally found the news about the formation formed from gold!
Li Yan nodded immediately and said:
"Where are the ancient ruins you mentioned located?"
Hohenheim heard Li Yan's question and observed Li Yan again.
Then he discovered that the other person's eyes were very serious.
Could it be that he really planned to get it?
After thinking about it, Hohenheim replied directly:
"Sir, if possible, please allow me to accompany you."
Li Yan looked at the other party, whose tone was full of seriousness.
It seems that if you don't agree, the other party may not tell you where the place is.
Li Yan finally nodded and agreed:
"No problem, but please give me some time, I still need to deal with some problems."
After saying goodbye to each other, Li Yan left the square and headed towards the palace.
The previous palace had been completely destroyed.
The current palace was re-selected and built on the top of the mountain relying on alchemy.
In the palace, the third prince dismissed everyone.
He was standing on the balcony of a tower at the highest point of the palace, looking at the magnificent royal city below.
At the same time, the little princess also came to the third prince's side, holding her chin with her hands, and looked at the royal city in the distance in a daze.
Originally two years ago, they had to squeeze in the cracks to survive.
He was not favored by the old king and was regarded as a thorn in the side of the two princes. The third prince also encountered life-threatening dangers many times.
I didn't expect it now.
The third prince will actually become the new king.
What an irony.
While the little princess was thinking this, Li Yan's figure appeared again.
Noticing Li Yan's arrival, the third prince seemed surprised and quickly saluted respectfully:
"Summoner-sama!"
Li Yan nodded and immediately asked the other party about his thoughts on this trip.
Then the third prince looked into the distance, toward the royal city filled with joy, and said with worry in his eyes:
"There is civil strife in the kingdom, the rise of the Alchemy Order, and the neighboring countries are watching."
"I must become the king!"
The third prince actually understood that those nobles who wanted him back were interested in him who was weak in the past.
They wanted to evade him and legitimately eat away at the royal power.
But since he agreed to become the new king, he would not allow such a thing to happen.
Then the third prince looked at Li Yan and said:
"Sir Summoner! Although this request is too much, I still want to ask you. I want to become stronger."
"Can you please be my teacher? I want to become stronger!"
"I have encountered the leader of the Alchemy Order before."
"The fight with him almost cost me my life."
"I can feel that he even has some energy left."
"I'm still too weak!"
"My strength..."
"It's not enough to make me the king!"
The third prince finally revealed his true feelings at the end.
The only thing he excels at is his swordsmanship talent.
But even if his swordsmanship talent is excellent, he is not as good as those swordsmanship geniuses.
It takes him a month of practice to become familiar with the sword skills, but a truly genius swordsman can master them in one day.
No matter how hard you try, talent is a barrier you cannot break through.
Even if you work ten times harder, you still won't get the same strength.
Now in order to become the true new king, he wants to be stronger.
It doesn't get stronger slowly.
But to truly become stronger.
He is so strong that he is not afraid of enemy countries or conservative nobles.
Strong enough to protect the people and kill the leader of the forbidden cult with his own hands!
