After resting for a night, William went to the palace with the three hunter brothers of the Camos family.
The palace was not built in the central area of the traditional area, but was built to the east of the royal city, which surprised William.
Because there are many countries on this continent, just like the Warring States Period in William's previous life, the threat of war is never far away.
Therefore, for defensive reasons, most countries will build the royal palace in the center of the city to form an inner fortress.
The advantage of this is that even if the royal city is captured by the enemy, there is still the last castle that can be defended, waiting for the last hope!
To the east of the royal city, behind the palace is a shallow river with a wooden bridge on top. Beyond the river is a low forest.
Officially due to the limitations of the terrain, rivers, forests, etc., the royal city cannot expand around the palace and turn the palace into an inner city. It can only evolve into the current structure!
The forest behind the palace was surrounded by the palace and became the garden of the palace.
Along the way, William heard the people of the royal city saying that the king liked staying in this garden very much, liked walking in this garden, and especially liked an apple tree in this garden.
In order to protect this apple tree, the king of the Kingdom of Oedipus even sent soldiers to guard the garden to prevent stray people from approaching.
The king was very strict about this matter. A few soldiers were negligent and were discovered by the king. He punished them severely, and one of the soldiers was hanged on the spot!
Under such a heavy punishment, everyone in the kingdom knew how much the king valued this apple tree, and no longer dared to ignore it easily!
William also heard on the way that the three princesses disappeared in the garden.
Since the disappearance of the three beautiful, generous and kind princesses, the king has become very haggard and always stays in the garden, refusing to leave.
This information was searched by William using the magic mirror, and was summarized and reported to William by the mirror spirit.
As the saying goes, when things go wrong, there must be a monster!
The king attached so much importance to this garden, and the three princesses disappeared in the garden. William would not believe it if there was nothing fishy about this garden!
Maybe there is some invisible treasure in this garden, William thought after knowing so much information.
More than half an hour later, he arrived at the palace with high expectations and three eager hunting brothers from the Camos family.
A large number of young men of various shapes have gathered in front of the palace.
Some of them, like the three Kamose brothers, still have childish looks on their faces. They came to try their luck after hearing the king's announcement, just like those people who bought double-color balls in William's previous life, or the kind who played with machines!
Some have a calm face, as if they are not surprised if the mountain collapses in front of them.
Some have a look of vicissitudes of life, as if they have experienced many things, and at first glance, they look more mature.
All in all, that’s all!
From a cursory glance, I guess there were hundreds of people.
Among these people, some are tough, some are handsome, and some are smart.
Among these people, some are simply dressed, some are wearing armor and carrying swords, and some are followed by followers!
The originally inflated confidence of the three Camos brothers soon became a little discouraged after seeing so many people, and they automatically compared their hearts.
Before I came here, I always thought I was the best.
After coming here, I discovered that there are many better people outside the village!
The eldest and second brothers of the three Camos brothers could not accept the blow of this reality, and became depressed and lacking in confidence.
Only Hans, the youngest, still had a smile on his face and looked around curiously.
Only by comparison can you see the difference.
This kind of psychological quality made William take a high look at Hans.
In any case, confident people are always more likely to succeed than people with low self-esteem. Of course, those who are lucky are not included in this.
As for William, he has seen the big winds and waves, so he doesn't care about this little scene.
Besides, he is now an official wizard, and he is a creature on a different level than these mortals.
After William's magic power has been thoroughly refined, integrated with his spiritual power after promotion, and gained stronger active abilities, ordinary people will no longer be able to stay with him for a long time.
Because the active magic power in his body will continuously and automatically emit radiation to the things and people around him, if an ordinary person is close to him for too long, his body will be radiated in abnormal ways, and either he will die tragically or something weird will happen.
Only wizards, wizard apprentices who have condensed spiritual power, or other powerful creatures will not be affected.
The magic power of formal wizards will radiate to the outside world uncontrollably, which is why many wizard organizations, or individual wizards, are isolated from ordinary people.
Simply put, they just don’t get along!
The three Camos brothers have not been together with William for a long time, so they have not had any impact yet.
If several people have been together for a long time, then William should be careful to avoid harming others. After all, no one has any grievances.
William is not a complete dark wizard, and he has little interest in killing innocent people indiscriminately.

…
William waited patiently for about forty minutes before he heard the belated arrival of the king's guards.
"His Royal Highness the King wants to see you, get in line and follow me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the palace guards who had been prepared came over aggressively, shouting at hundreds of young men with dreams to line up!
Judging from their looks, this is not the first time they have done this kind of thing, and they are all very experienced.
Soon, the originally chaotic hundreds of people were organized into several orderly lines, and then followed the king's guards into the palace.
Surrounding the team were armored guards with solemn faces. Their eyes were like wolves and tigers, and they kept scanning the crowd.
As long as they find something wrong, that person will be pulled out and taken away, losing the opportunity to meet the king.
Fortunately, this group of people were all "clean" people, and nothing unusual was discovered by the guards.
They walked smoothly through the steps of the kingdom, followed the king's personal guards as they turned east and west, and finally came to the beach next to a clear small river.
On the beach, a tall man with a crown on his head and luxurious clothes turned his back to them, looking at the garden across the river.
The strong wind kept blowing, causing the clothes of the tall and strong man to flutter!
Seeing this strong character, everyone present knew that this man was their beloved king, and they all became as quiet as rabbits, not daring to speak casually.
The king's personal guard showed a flattering smile, trotted to the king's side, reported the situation in a low voice, and looked at the team present from time to time.
Many of the people present felt uneasy when they saw it.
Only William seemed a little bored, standing there with an indifferent attitude.
After a while, the king's guard finished his report, and the king nodded slightly, retracted his gaze from the garden, and turned around!
