Chapter 119 Smoothly Entering the Palace
In the end, Moster took his men to the residence of the royal captain of the guards.
He was just a weak young man from a rich family, and his two fists were no match for four hands.
Inside the carriage, there is an unscrupulous musician who can subdue him with one move, a magic apprentice holding a magic wand, a great swordsman praised by his father, and a child with a mysterious identity.
What can he do?
There is no other way except to surrender.
The Hobner family's carriage was inconspicuous as it drove along the bustling streets of the royal city.
The city of Dialan gathers the largest number of upper classes in the Dalia Empire, including nobles and wealthy people. The streets are full of gorgeous carriages, and even the civilians walking on the road look more lively than those in other cities.
Shu Li leaned against the car window, enjoying the scenery outside with relish.
Although Nasha is a princess, Pedam is a small country, which is completely dwarfed by the Dalia Empire.
She leaned against the car window on the other side, and Violet's eyes showed envy.
The Queen of the Dalia Empire and her mother are sisters. Both married princes, but their experiences were completely different.
One is the queen of a great country, and the other is the queen of a small country.
The big country is thriving and is one of the four major empires on the continent, while the small country is suffering from war and is on the verge of destruction.
Thinking of her father, the king, and the queen who were still resisting the invasion of foreign enemies, and her brother whose life or death was unknown, Nasha couldn't help but clench her fists, and hatred flashed in her eyes.
She must persuade the Queen of the Dalia Empire to send troops to rescue the Kingdom of Pedam.
If you fail...
Nasha was confused for a moment.
She never considered the possibility of failure.
She has been on the run for so long, and so many people have died protecting her. If she fails, how will she face it?
Nasha bit her lip and turned her head to look at the magic apprentice on the other side who was full of curiosity.
After spending time together, she had a general understanding of the other person's personality.
Optimistic, simple, cheerful, and occasionally a little cunning, he is curious about everything and looks at everyone with a clear gaze. He will not flatter her because she is a princess, nor will he fawn over her because she is a rich young man. He has a pure aura like nature, and spending time with him will make you feel calm.
Nasha was sure that he was not a civilian.
Common people do not have this unique temperament.
Not like the nobles and the rich.
Nobles and rich people could not teach a child as simple as him.
What kind of environment would produce such a unique person?
Sen Luo sat upright, his eyes fixed on the side, all the muscles in his body tensed.
Although he had arrived at his destination safely and was about to meet the Queen of the Dalia Empire, he not only did not feel relieved, but was uneasy instead.
Swordsmen have a natural and keen intuition about danger. They can detect any slight disturbance at the first moment and avoid danger in advance.
Because of this, he survived until now and successfully escorted the princess here.
The city of Dialan is not as peaceful as it seems.
Sen Luo looked up at the black-haired young man who was resting with his eyes closed.
He thought the other party came to the royal city to find an excellent magic instructor for his brother, but it turned out not to be the case.
I tried to get them to tell me what they were up to, but I couldn't get any information from them. I knew nothing about them except their destination.
In order to see the queen, he and the princess had to ask Uncle Hobner for help, because his brother-in-law Milton was the captain of the royal guard and had the power to enter and leave the palace freely.
So why did Mr. Al also visit Milton?
Ilio suddenly opened his eyes and met Senluo's thoughtful gaze.
Senluo was slightly stunned.
Ilio's lips curled up slightly. "Mr. Greatswordsman, do you have something to ask me?"
"Ah, no." Sen Luo wanted to deny it awkwardly, but he didn't want to be bothered by doubts. He frowned and asked seriously, "Are Mr. Al and Captain Milton old acquaintances?"
"No," Ilio denied. "We've never seen one."
"Then why did you..." Sen Luo hesitated to speak.
Elio said, "Perhaps our goals are the same."
Sen Luo's body shook, and he looked surprised.
Most stretched himself and grumbled, "My uncle is very busy, so he doesn't meet everyone."
He was waiting to see the show.
Shu Li left the window and sat back next to Ilio. He looked at the sinisterly smiling Most and held out his hand to him: "Give me back the cards."
Merst immediately covered his chest and shouted nervously: "Don't think about it!"
He had spent three hundred gold coins to buy this deck of cards after much persuasion, so how could he possibly return it?
With this deck of cards, he can show off in front of his friends and family for a long time. Relying on the various playing methods he learned in the past few days, he can set up a casino. Hehehe, then the money will come rolling in.
As soon as Shu Li saw Moster's greedy look, he knew what he was thinking.
Poker is easily associated with gambling.
Any game where there are winners and losers can be used for gambling.
It was well worth spending three hundred gold coins to buy the deck of cards he had modified.
This annoying rich young man has some business acumen.
The carriage drove into a wide avenue, traveled a hundred meters, and stopped in front of a mansion.
We have arrived at the home of Milton, the captain of the royal guards.
When Most saw the gate in his memory, he jumped out of the carriage first, straightened his wrinkled clothes, and walked forward with a swagger.
Without waiting for the guard to ask, he pulled out his glittering family crest and urged, "Go in quickly and inform my aunt that her dear nephew, Most Hobner, has come all the way from Daoto City to see her!"
The guard saw the familiar badge and heard what he said, half believing and half doubting, and went in to inform.
A few minutes later, a middle-aged man who looked like a butler came out. Seeing Merst, he extended his arms and hugged him warmly.
"Master Merster, why are you here? I haven't seen you for a few years, and you've grown so tall!"
"Haha, Uncle Billion, long time no see!"
Merst hugged back.
After the hug, Billion asked, "Why did Master Moster come here so suddenly?"
"I'm bringing my friends to the royal city to have some fun, and to visit my aunt and uncle," said Myster. "By the way, Uncle Billion, are my aunt and uncle home?"
Billyen sighed and patted his shoulder: "...It's not convenient to talk here, please invite the young master's friends into the house first!"
Five minutes later, a group of people appeared in the reception room.
"What? The Queen is ill?"
Moster exclaimed.
"Oh, my Master Moster, keep your voice down." Billion raised his finger and said nervously.
Myster lowered his voice and asked, "Uncle Billion, what's going on?"
Shu Li and the other three looked at each other and pricked up their ears at the same time.
Billy looked at the four guests with some embarrassment.
To be honest, he doubted what Master Moster said.
No matter how you look at them, these four guests don't look like Master Moster's guests.
Swordsmen, musicians, magic apprentices, and children—a strange mix. None of them were the same age as the young master, and their clothes were shabbier than the others.
Billion winked at Myster.
Young master, if you get robbed, just blink.
Myster didn't understand his hint and asked anxiously, "Uncle Billion, what are you doing? Is your eye cramp? Tell me now!"
He was ordered by his father to deliver an important letter to his aunt, but now his aunt and uncle have both gone to the palace and have not returned home for three days.
Billion sighed to himself.
"Do you want to arrange accommodation for these friends of Master Merster first?"
If you don't understand the hint, then being explicit will always work, right?
Shu Li pretended to drink tea, his eyes rolling around as he looked at the loyal butler.
Most belatedly remembered the four guests and looked at Ilio hesitantly.
Elio smiled and said, "No rush."
He and little Sperian left the Fairy Forest just to see the Queen of the Dalia Empire. Now that they knew she was sick, how could they leave halfway?
After going through untold hardships, Senluo and Nasha finally reached the last step. They were about to see the queen and were even more reluctant to leave.
Most had been humiliated so many times by Elio that the sight of him smiling was a shadow in his heart. He instinctively said, "Uncle Billion, they are all important friends of mine. We'll arrange accommodations later. First, tell me about the queen! How did she become ill? What is wrong with her? Has she seen a doctor? Why did my aunt and uncle stay in the palace for so long?"
Billion was really defeated by his silly young master.
How can you trust outsiders so easily?
But never mind, the queen's illness is an open secret.
"Six days ago, the Queen and the little princess went on a trip to Silver Lake. Upon returning to the palace, they both complained of chest pains. His Majesty the King immediately requested the chief physician to treat the Queen and the little princess. After two days of treatment, there was no improvement, and the Queen and the little princess even fell into a coma. His Majesty was anxious and called in a witch doctor. The witch doctor said the Queen and the little princess were cursed and their lives would be in danger if the curse was not lifted." Billyon frowned and said, "The palace is in chaos now. Lord Milton, as the captain of the royal guard, is responsible for the palace's security. His Majesty the King has recruited Lady Jenny and several other ladies to care for the eldest princess and the second prince."
Most was stunned.
But after going out for fun, I was cursed.
Who is this? How dare they curse the Queen and the little princess of the Dalia Empire?
"Is there no one else in the palace to take care of the eldest princess and the second prince?" he asked.
Billyen said helplessly, "You know the personalities of the eldest princess and the second prince. They don't listen to anyone except the queen and your aunt."
Moster shuddered as he recalled the time a few years ago when he came to the royal city to play and was bullied by two kids who were five or six years younger than him.
Although he was domineering in Daoto City, he had no dignity in front of the princess and the prince.
"Then...can my aunt and uncle come back today?" asked Moster.
He, a small figure, had no right to interfere in the affairs of the palace. In short, he had to give the letter to his aunt first, and then introduce the great swordsman and musician to his uncle, and then his mission would be completed.
He had to return to Daoto City as soon as possible and find friends to open a casino together to make a lot of money.
Billyen shook his head: "If the queen and the little princess don't wake up, I'm afraid Lord Milton and Lady Jenny won't be able to come back."
Merst glared: "How can this be?"
Billyon said, "No one can disobey the king's order."
Most anxiously paced the floor of the reception room. After three trips, he stopped and said to Ilio, "Look, it's not that I don't want to introduce my uncle to you, it's that they're busy at the palace."
Elio put down his teacup and asked, "Since they can't come back, can we enter the palace?"
As soon as he finished speaking, silence fell in the reception room.
As Shu Li listened to the conversation between Moster and the butler Billyen, her optimistic heart gradually sank, and she began to worry that the curse on her could not be lifted.
The queen and the little princess were in a coma, the palace was heavily guarded, and the captain of the guards who should have been able to introduce them was not at home. The coincidence was too great to be true.
Just as he was worried, he was dumbfounded when he heard Ilio's question.
No, there is no one to recommend me, how can I enter the palace?
Senluo and Nasha both looked at the black-haired young man.
They were also anxious about not being able to see the queen, but they couldn't understand what Mr. Al said.
Most found his tongue and jumped up and pointed at Ilio. "Mr. Al, do you think the palace is a hotel? Even nobles can't just barge in, let alone a commoner like you!"
Elio ignored Merster and looked at Billion: "As long as the butler takes us into the palace, I will find a way to lift the curse on the queen and the little princess."
"What...what a joke!" Most glared at the shameless civilian musician.
Shu Li was shocked by Ilio's "big talk".
If the curse was so easy to break, he wouldn't have traveled all the way to find the Queen of Dalia.
Sen Luo believed it: "Really? Mr. Al?"
He had long felt that Mr. Al was a hidden talent, and that anyone who could easily produce a high-level purification stone was definitely not an ordinary person.
Nasha clasped her hands involuntarily and looked at Ilio expectantly.
As the steward of the royal guard, Billyen is knowledgeable and experienced, and he is not so easy to fool.
"Mr. Al, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. You said you have a way to lift the curse on the queen and the little princess. What proof do you have? Even the royal magician Alec is helpless against the curse. What good solutions do you, as an ordinary person, have?"
Ilio pulled Shuri to his feet and pushed him in front of Billyn.
Shu Li held the magic wand in her arms, puzzled, and looked up at him questioningly.
"He is my younger brother, a seventh-element magician." Ilio touched the elf's head and told him to be patient.
The others all had incredulous expressions on their faces.
Billion looked at the badge on Shu Li's magic robe and frowned. "If I'm not mistaken, he's a magic apprentice."
Ilio nodded. "Yes, little Amo just passed the magic apprentice test not long ago."
Billyen couldn't help but raise his voice: "Mr. Al, I didn't make it clear just now. Alec is a magician at the level of a great wizard, and your brother is just a magic apprentice. What can he do?"
In front of the great wizard, the magic apprentice is like a baby who has just learned to walk.
Shu Li blinked innocently.
No, actually he is a high-level magician, so he knows something.
It’s just that Ilio is addicted to deceiving people, and he even dares to deceive the Wang family.
Myster followed up with a mocking tone: "Yeah, what can a magic apprentice do?"
After riding in the carriage for four or five days, little Amo never used his cheap, low-level magic wand.
Ilio spread out his right hand, and a shining magic badge appeared out of thin air in his palm. As everyone looked on in surprise, the nine-pointed star-shaped magic badge slowly rose into the air, emitting a brilliant and dazzling light.
Everyone in the reception room was almost blinded by the light.
"Then is a magician at the level of a Mage Saint qualified to enter the palace?" Ilio's eyes were deep.
Half an hour later, a carriage marked with the Lille family emblem drove into the Castle of Coyavo, where the royal palace was located.
Butler Billyen drove the horses himself, and the journey was smooth. After passing four castle gates, the carriage stopped in a courtyard.
Soon, four people in cloaks got off the carriage, two large and two small, their hoods covering their faces.
Billyon took the lead in negotiating with the guards and obtained permission to lead the four people into the castle.
The group walked quietly in the corridor. When they met some acquaintances on the way, Billion greeted them with a smile. When asked about the four people who were accompanying them, he just laughed it off.
After walking for about five minutes, we arrived at a room.
Billyon couldn't hide his excitement and said respectfully to Ilio, "Master Mage, please wait here for a moment. I will go find Master Milton right away."
The guards work long hours in the palace, and their families can come here to visit.
No one would have thought that a young black-haired young man with ordinary clothes would actually be a noble Dharma Saint.
You know, the curse on the queen and the little princess has not been lifted yet. The king has asked many magicians of the Grand Master level for help, but they are all helpless. Today, the king sent a team of guards to the courtyard to ask for help from the magic tower.
The Magic Tower gathers the best magicians from all over the continent, and only a handful of them possess the Magic Saint Badge, and they will not easily leave the atrium.
The guards went to ask for help, but their hope was slim.
Now, among the guests brought by Master Moster, there is actually a hidden magic saint.
Not to mention that Moster was stunned, he couldn't believe it for a moment even though he had lived for an extra thirty years.
However, the sacred light emanating from the magic badge could not be faked.
Mr. Al is indeed an unattainable Dharma Saint.
Billion was truly ashamed for Master Moster, who had shown disrespect to the Mage Saint. Mr. Al was good-tempered and didn't take it seriously. If any other Mage Saint had been mocked, they would have sent Master Moster to see the gods long ago.
A high-level magician, even the king has to respect him.
Billion found a guard, gave him some gold coins, and asked him to help pass the message to Lord Milton.
The guard took the money and happily went to pass on the message.
More than ten minutes later, a middle-aged man with a shaggy face appeared in the room tiredly. Seeing Billion, he said unhappily, "Billion, you'd better be in a hurry."
He was working in the king's council chamber, and when he learned that Billyen had something urgent to discuss with him, he took some time off and hurried over.
"Master Milton, I have brought you an important guest." Billion excitedly introduced him, "This is Mr. Al."
Ilio took off his hood, revealing his young and handsome face.
Milton frowned, seriously suspecting that Billion was also cursed for introducing him to an insignificant stranger.
Billyon said, "Master Milton, Mr. Al is a noble Dharma Saint!"
"What?" Milton was shocked.
The shining badge of the Mage Saint once again shone with its brilliant light.
Shu Li looked at the badge floating in the air, a look of longing appearing on her pretty face.
When he comes of age and officially goes to the mainland for training, he must also obtain a badge of the Mage Saint level.
On the way to the palace, he asked Ilio why he wanted to display the magic emblem. Hadn't he specifically instructed him to keep a low profile as much as possible to avoid causing a stir?
Ilio smiled and said that when necessary, one has to be high-profile.
We are just one step away from success, how can we let all our efforts go to waste?
Shu Li was worried again. What if the curse on the queen and the little princess couldn't be lifted?
Elio said indifferently, "Whether I can remove the curse or not, we'll talk about it after we meet."
Shu Li thought about it and agreed.
Don't look back when doing anything, otherwise you will accomplish nothing.
Milton is the captain of the palace guards and often deals with magicians. When he saw the magic badge in the shape of a nine-pointed star, he knew that it was a genuine top-level badge.
He acted quickly and introduced the Dharma Saint to the king without saying a word.
When the king learned that a mage had come to visit him, he was so happy that he didn't care about the other three cloaked men. He pulled Ilio towards the queen's room.
Shu Li looked at the magnificent palace, feeling a little dazed.
How could he get in so easily?
Senluo and Nasha were equally surprised, and when they saw the queen lying unconscious on the bed, they became worried.
"Mr. Al, please help my Helati and the little princess. They have been in a coma for four days." King Dalia held the queen's hand affectionately, his blue eyes moist, and his eyes looking at Ilio were full of pleading.
The ruler of a country, for the sake of his beloved, showed his vulnerable side in front of the young Dharma Sage.
Nasha couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat.
She thought of her mother and father.
They loved each other deeply, and their father asked their mother to flee and take the children back to the Snow Kingdom for refuge, but their mother refused, preferring to live and die with their father, resisting the invaders, rather than live in disgrace.
I hope Aunt Helati is safe.
She grabbed the corner of Sen Luo's clothes and looked up at Mr. Al.
It's incredible.
Mr. Al turned out to be a Dharma Saint whose status was equal to that of a king.
Elio walked calmly to the bedside and looked down at Queen Dahlia.
After a while, he suddenly waved to Shu Li: "Little Amo, come here."
"Ah, oh." Shu Li walked to the bed under everyone's puzzled gaze.
It is said that the two princesses of the Snow Kingdom have elf-like beauty, which has attracted single kings and princes from the mainland to go to the Snow Kingdom to propose marriage.
In the end, the two princesses chose the prince of the Dalia Empire and the prince of the Pedam Kingdom respectively, thus creating two happy marriages.
When the prince inherits the throne, they also become the supreme queen.
Shu Li observed the unconscious woman on the bed.
She is indeed extremely beautiful, with light golden hair, snow-white skin, and delicate facial features. Although she is over thirty, she still looks like a girl in her early twenties.
Among humans, her beauty is already the ultimate, but compared to elves, she is still a long way off.
The beauty of elves is natural and incomparable.
Ilio bent his fingers and tapped his forehead. "Don't be in a daze."
Shu Li came back to his senses and touched his head shyly: "Oh."
Elio said, "Take out your magic wand and cast a purification spell on the queen and the little princess."
"Huh?" Shu Li opened his mouth wide, completely confused.
What does that mean? Didn't they say they were cursed? Why did they ask him to perform a cleansing spell?
The king and the others also stared with wide eyes.
"Mr. Al, aren't you going to do it yourself?" Billyen couldn't help but ask.
Little Amo is just a magic apprentice who just passed the test!
"Your Majesty! I'm sorry I'm late." An old voice sounded, and the door was pushed open by the guards, and a magician with white hair and beard came in.
He is none other than Alec, the magician worshipped by the royal family.
The level of a senior archmage is one step away from becoming a mage saint.
Upon learning that a Dharma Sage had come uninvited to the palace, he immediately dropped what he was doing and hurried to the queen's room.
As I approached the door, I heard a conversation inside.
"Purification?" After entering, he stared at the unfamiliar black-haired young man seriously, not believing that he was a magic saint at all. He said sarcastically, "Purification can only purify the power of darkness, and the queen and the little princess are cursed."
Elio ignored his hostility and said calmly, "The queen and the little princess aren't cursed; they've been corrupted by darkness. Ordinary purification techniques can't cleanse this deep-seated darkness."
"No light magician in the entire Austin continent can purify it except little Amo." He added.
Alec sneered, "As a magician of the courtyard, I have never heard of your name. If you don't want to be punished, you'd better tell the truth, confess your identity, and admit your fault to His Majesty the King. Don't delay the Queen and the little princess's illness."
The king frowned. "Alec... I've seen the magic emblem of this Mage Saint."
Milton agreed, "Yes, Mr. Al's magic badge is a top-tier badge."
Alec said, "King, a magician with a top-level badge isn't necessarily a magic saint. It could be found, stolen, or forged."
Elio caught the fleeting look of jealousy and fear on his face and said with a smile, "Master, instead of driving me away, why not let my apprentice give it a try? Since I dare to stand here, I'm not afraid of being convicted."
Without waiting for Alec to answer, he said to Shu Li, "Little Amo, use your purification technique to dispel the dark power in the queen and the little princess."
"Okay!" Shu Li didn't ask any more questions. Since Ilio was sure his purification spell would work, then it must work.
The youngest elf warrior in the Elf Kingdom is not a false title.
He handed the Mother Tree brand magic wand to Ilio, touched the storage ring hanging around his neck, and instantly took out his high-level magic wand made of amethyst tree branches and inlaid with a ninth-level sunstone on the top.
Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, he raised his magic wand, pointed it at the two unconscious people on the bed, and silently chanted the silent purification spell.
[Great God of Light, Lyant Freys, I am Sperian of the Fairy Forest. I beg you to command the elements of light to gather around me and bring me the power of light to purify filth, expel darkness, and fight against evil—]
In an instant, countless light elements swarmed in, and the sunstone on the top of the magic wand shone brightly.
