The most pity is that they can't tell King Garcia about Leon's strangeness, because King Garcia may not believe them.
After all, Leon is his child. Which parent would be willing to doubt his own child?
The same is true for King Garcia. Although he is a king, he is also a father.
The tight security in the palace made the chances of the painter appearing at night very slim. If it weren't for Prince Fernando's insistence, Esther would have preferred to spend the night in his room.
In the stone room, Esther and Prince Feonardo stood together. Esther did not take Lilina and Crow with him because they could not help with the matter of capturing the painter.
"Feonardo, there's nothing wrong waiting here. Why don't you tell me about Leon." Esther's voice echoed in the stone chamber, breaking the silence in the stone chamber.
Prince Fernando is not a person who can endure loneliness, so he doesn't mind having someone to talk to him during this boring waiting time.
"We used to be close brothers." Feonardo said: "Leon used to often make his father angry. His character was timid and cowardly. Such a character should not appear in a royal family, let alone
It should appear in a dwarf. It is this kind of character that made my father angry several times, which left a deep impression on me."
"During that time, Leon suffered a lot. In order to free him from the harshness of his father, I told my father that I would assume the throne from now on." According to Feonardo, he took the throne.
, I just hope Leon can be carefree.
Thinking about it now, it seemed that he had never thought about Leon's feelings.
In Feonardo's heart, he wanted to believe in Leon, so what he and Esther had been saying all along was that Leon was controlled by the painter, not that Leon cooperated with the painter.
"So, after Leon came back from the underground time, it became very strange. I was able to discover immediately that the originally timid Leon had changed so much, as if he was not the same person. This made me wary.
, Sure enough, the result was not what I expected." Feonardo said.
"Your Highness Feonardo, the brotherhood you mentioned sounds a bit weird to me. You are indeed the person who cares about him the most, but you are not the person who cares about him the most. You care only because you want the throne. You
You care only because you don't want to see Leon grow, but coincidentally, it is precisely because of your caution towards Leon that you discovered his changes."
At this point, Esther stopped.
Feonardo remained silent, not knowing what emotion he was feeling now.
"Okay, we should go find the painter." Esther said.
Feonardo raised his head, frowned and asked Esther, "What do you mean?"
Could it be that the painter appeared?
I saw that Esther raised his finger and pointed behind him. The painting that was originally placed in the lock cage had now disappeared, leaving only an empty cage in the stone room.
"When!?" Fionardo was extremely surprised. Only now did he personally feel the strangeness of this painting.
"Probably when we were just talking." Esther said.
There are traces of magic left in the air. There is no doubt that the painting used magic to escape. However, this magic-forbidden stone chamber cannot ban the magic of the painting.
"Magic from the Underground."
"Are you prepared?" Feonardo looked at Esther and said.
"I'm not prepared, how could I let Hua escape?" Esther pushed open the door of the stone chamber and walked out.
...
"I want to escape, I can't be caught by him."
The painter's sneer echoed in Leon's ears. His cowardly and timid character made him extremely afraid. This was a kind of torture, torture from fear. If possible, he hoped to be relieved, but he did not want to die.
, don’t want to die....
Before his memory returned to the underground world, Feonardo came to talk to him once.
"Leon, my father assigned you to explore the underground world this time in the hope of training you, but I think my father's expectations of you are too high." What Feonardo said may not sound good, but at this time
Leon, however, thought that what Feonardo said was very reasonable.
He also didn't think he was qualified.
"Leon, I will tell my father to leave this mission of exploring the underground world to me, so you don't have to worry anymore." Feonardo said.
Of course Leon agreed. He had no reason to disagree. Feonardo was better than him in every aspect. Naturally, it shouldn't be his turn in this exploration mission.
What's more, he doesn't understand how to lead a team at all.
However, things went counterproductive, as Fernando underestimated King Garcia's determination to change Leon's cowardly character.
Finally, Leon took fifty-five elite dwarf cavalry and set out for the underground world.
It was a completely different environment. Leon, who entered the underground world for the first time, was shocked by the scenery in front of him.
What is the light above the dome?
The fluorescent river is so bright.
The stone pillars hanging upside down are like swords of Damocles hanging above your head, which makes people feel chilly.
The underground plain, the blue lawn is vast, and there are actually floating clouds in the sky. If he hadn't confirmed that this was the underground, Leon would never have thought that the underground world would be like this.
Soon, they encountered their first crisis, the dragon.
The dragon, the purebred dragon that had disappeared from the surface since the age of magic and was even considered extinct, actually appeared underground!
This is something that can shock the magic world, but for Leon now, this is something that can kill him.
He panicked and ordered to run away.
Facing the dragon, what else can they do except escape?
However, the dwarves' cavalry could not outrun the giant dragon. The fifty-five elite dwarf cavalry were not even enough to fill the teeth of a giant dragon.
In order to escape from the dragon's mouth, Leon sacrificed ten heroic cavalrymen.
.....
In the underground world, dangers lurk, acid lakes, swamps, and labyrinth caves. One accident is enough to kill several dwarf cavalry. The creatures here are generally more than ten times the size of the outside world, especially insects, which can grow to hundreds of years.
Two-headed centipedes and giant seals are nothing unusual.
Here, the lack of a guide makes it difficult for the dwarves to move forward.
Just when Leon and the cavalry he led were exhausted, they came to a village, a village belonging to the underground people and a village belonging to the monsters.
This is also the beginning of Leon's nightmare.
"Welcome, guest from afar, we have been waiting here for a long time." This was the first sentence spoken by the deformed-looking man after entering the village.
