Under the leadership of the waiter, the four of them shuttled through the various corridors and stairwells of the palace. Xue Hua was dazzled by the various luxurious decorations and rare and exotic animals they saw along the way.
There were also the groups of servants and guards wearing heavy armor, as well as the various exotic flowers and plants planted on both sides of the road, which gave him the urge to rob this place.
But fortunately, he also knew that the reason why Lu Gaoyin's royal family was so wealthy was not because of how much people's wealth they had plundered, but because of the prosperous trade here.
Everything here has reached its present scale through the unremitting efforts of several generations of kings.
So he was just thinking about it.
However, it is worth mentioning that the deeper you go into the palace, the more guards there are, covertly and covertly, and the aura on them becomes stronger and stronger.
Even when they arrived outside the palace meeting hall, all the guards there had been replaced by mercenary-level soldiers.
These guards were covered in all kinds of colorful armor and had a variety of weapons in their hands.
Compared with the guards on the outside, they looked like a group of ragtag troops recruited at short notice.
But Xue Hua knew that compared to the soldiers wearing gorgeous standard armor outside, these guards were the real main force in defending the palace. Anyone who dared to look down on them because of their clothes would definitely pay a heavy price immediately.
None of these mercenary-level guards are lower than level 30. If they were to swarm up like this, even Xue Hua would be in a hurry for a while.
Just as he was smacking his lips as he looked at the equipment of the guards, the waiter leading the way suddenly stopped moving forward.
A paladin wearing a full set of gold-level equipment and holding a huge dark gold-level double-edged ax led a group of guards to block their way forward.
"Who are these people? Why do you come to the palace?" The paladin didn't even look at Farah and Drognan, and asked directly to the waiter who led the way.
This question is quite impolite and very redundant.
As an officer of the royal palace guard, how could he not even recognize the two guardians of Lugaoin, Farah and Drognan?
Obviously, this guy did it on purpose.
The four people following the waiter looked at each other, as if they had a clear mind.
"Sure enough, it's here!"
A sneer hung from the corner of Xue Hua's mouth.
Even if this guy really didn't know Farah and Drognan, he would never dare to stop them after the waiter informed them of their identities.
Similarly, Kane's status is noble, and he will definitely not dare to stop him.
But if it's under his name, it might not be that easy.
This was obviously aimed at him.
Sure enough, after the waiter informed Farah and others about their identity and intention of visiting, the Paladin immediately moved out of the way with a fake smile on his face, allowing them to pass smoothly.
But when Xue Hua was about to follow him, the guy immediately turned around and blocked him like an iron tower.
Even the expression on his face turned cold instantly.
"Who are you? What do you want to see His Majesty the King for?"
The paladin held a dark gold ax and stood in front of Xue Hua with his eyes drooped, looking businesslike.
But the sarcasm flashing in his eyes clearly revealed his intentions.
Hey... It turns out that the King of Hell is easy to meet, but the kid is difficult to deal with~
Xue Hua sighed and was about to take out the letter and show it to this guy, but who knew that the paladin didn't give him a chance to get the letter at all, and just went on to say: "A dead person of more than ten levels.
Spirit Mage, what legitimate reason can there be for meeting His Majesty the King? I’m afraid he didn’t sneak in with a few sages!”
"Someone, throw this guy out!"
After hearing his words, four of the guards behind him immediately walked out, quickly ran to Xue Hua with weapons in hand, and stretched out their hands to grab Xue Hua's clothes.
The levels of these four guards are all up to level 40, and they all have at least one piece of golden equipment. I think they can definitely handle a small character like Xue Hua.
With joking smiles on their faces, they secretly increased their strength in their hands, preparing to give the guy in front of them a taste of pain.
In fact, the relationship between this paladin and the necromancer Liu Zhen is not particularly good, but the news that Liu Zhen went on a mission to deal with a necromancer of more than ten levels but was defeated and returned with a huge defeat is equivalent to
Slap all the guards in the face.
How could these royal guards, who usually put their eyes above their heads, bear such an insult? Therefore, while they spurned Liu Zhen and thought he was a loser, they also worked hard to regain the situation with Xue Hua.
This time, Xue Hua entered the palace to meet the king, which gave them a good opportunity. In order to embarrass Xue Hua, these guards officers laid many obstacles on his way into the palace.
This "little necromancer who knows nothing about the world" got out of the palace in despair.
Even if they were scolded for doing this, it could be inferred that it was a misunderstanding caused by not knowing Xue Hua. After all, Xue Hua's reputation was not that great in Lu Gaoyin, so it would make sense that they didn't know him.
At most, they will only receive a few mild scoldings.
As for Xue Hua, he had no choice but to swallow the loss of being dumb.
Of course, the biggest reason why they dared to do this actually came from the king's secret instruction.
Jie Hein had expressed his disgust and anger towards Xue Hua in front of them more than once. He believed that Xue Hua had made him lose his reputation and face, and he had always wanted to find an opportunity to deal with this arrogant outsider.
This made them more courageous. After all, they could help the king realize his wish.
They took it for granted that even if something happened, the king would definitely protect them.
So they did it without hesitation.
And just when the hands of several guards were about to grab Xue Hua, a flash of lightning suddenly appeared in front of Xue Hua.
After the electric light disappeared, Farah's figure slowly emerged.
"Stop! This is Hua Xue. He has something important to do and needs to meet the king!"
Farah said with a solemn expression, then turned around, glanced at Xue Hua, and motioned for him to take out the letter and show it to this guy.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Xue Hua's mouth. He hesitated for a moment, but suppressed the thought of giving these shameless veterans a lesson here. Instead, he took out the seal with Akala's personal seal from the inventory.
Letters with emblem pattern.
Farah took the letter and handed it to the frowning Paladin expressionlessly.
As soon as the paladin received the letter, his expression condensed. Akala's personal emblem was printed on the envelope. This personal emblem is the magical power characteristic of a legendary strongman and cannot be imitated at all.
And the person holding the envelope with the Akara emblem attached is indeed qualified to meet the king.
The paladin held the envelope in silence for a long time, thinking about one way after another, but he couldn't think of any other way to prevent Xue Hua from meeting the king.
In the end, he had to return the envelope to Farah with an ugly expression, and turned sideways to get out of the way.
Farah handed the envelope to Xue Hua and walked past the paladin with him without looking away.
The paladin stood there fixedly, looking at Xue Hua's back, the expression on his face fluctuating.
After a long while, he waved to his subordinate and whispered in his ear for a while.
The subordinate nodded after hearing this, and quickly took a shortcut along the corridor and ran towards the interior of the palace.
After doing this, he glanced at Xue Hua's back slowly disappearing on the stairs with complicated eyes, and murmured, "I hope that guy will listen to my advice, otherwise he will be in big trouble."
Then he suddenly shook his head and sneered, and continued patrolling along the corridor with his men.
