Chapter 66

It took Jiang Li and his party less time than planned to drive to the vicinity of the capital.

As they approached the capital, there were more people outside the city, and they began to meet some people who would take the initiative to talk to them. At this time, the car became somewhat conspicuous. Although magic can make passers-by ignore the appearance of the car, Jiang Li did not want to be too high-profile.

They stopped the car not too far from the capital. Jiang Li hid it in an inconspicuous corner, covered it with trees, flowers and plants, and waved his staff to cast multiple spells on it to prevent it from being discovered by passers-by. Carrying

the luggage on their backs, they walked the rest of the way.

There are many people like them who walk on foot on this road.

Augustus smelled his sleeves and felt that the smell of snail noodles lingered for a long time.

He asked his sister to cast a cleaning magic on his clothes, and the odor that shouldn't exist quickly disappeared. He looked at his image with satisfaction. He did not lose face for Dolei City when he went out.

"If you are worried about this, don't pester me to cook snail noodles for you at noon." Ophelia couldn't help but complained: "It was you who hated this food at first, but now you like it the most."

Augustus said with a guilty conscience: "But it's really delicious..."

Especially the fried eggs soaked in snail noodles, which are more delicious than any other ingredients added. In order to taste it better, he has learned how to make fried eggs.

However, Augustus said with some regret: "Don't you think it's a pity that you can't eat this kind of food anymore after arriving in the capital?" Of course, we have to hurry up and eat one more meal.

"Indeed, there is no Levi's restaurant in the capital." Ophelia held the handbag tightly in her hand. But it doesn't matter. She specially copied a copy of the recipe. Even if she left her hometown, she would be able to taste those delicacies again sooner or later.

Jiang Li glanced at the brother and sister and reminded them: "We are almost there."

While speaking, the gate of the capital was already in sight.

As the capital of the kingdom, it is also the most prosperous. There was a long queue waiting to enter the city at the gate alone. Jiang Li and others waited for a long time before it was their turn. Augustus took out the identity certificates of the three people and handed them over. Jiang Li had specially asked Lord Dean to prepare his ID before he set out.

"It turns out to be Master Dean." After learning the identities of the group, the originally indifferent guards became much more enthusiastic: "The Knight Captain of the Palace has long told us to inform him as soon as you arrive." After

confirming their identities, the guards quickly let them go.

The moment he walked into the city gate, Jiang Li felt a strange wave of magic falling on him. He paused, followed the path of the magic wave, and looked up to see a magic circle.

"It's used to detect demons." Augustus said, "Demons have human forms, they are very cunning, and sometimes they disguise themselves as humans to sneak into human cities."

This is the standard detection magic for human cities, and there is one at the gate of every city. Jiang Li retracted his gaze and said casually, "The magic circle at the gate of Dore City doesn't seem to be like this."

Ophelia explained, "This is a new type of magic circle developed by the Holy See not long ago. It improves the sensitivity and accuracy of detection, and at the same time reduces the energy required to supply the magic circle. Currently, it is only available in the capital, and it will be promoted to other cities in the future."

"No wonder I haven't seen it." Jiang Li thought.

His teacher, Messenner, is a warlike elf who is keen to challenge the strong men on the continent, so he masters more combat magic. Magic potions, magic circles and alchemy are all areas that Messenner is not good at, so Jiang Li only learned some basic skills from the magic book.

With his current ability, he can only detect that the magic circle at the gate of the royal capital is more sophisticated than that of other cities, but he cannot distinguish the specific details.

Ophelia raised her chin slightly with pride, and her proud little expression was exactly the same as her brother's, but it was only for a moment, and she shyly lowered it again.

Augustus praised her without hesitation: "Ophelia also contributed to it!"

"Really?" Jiang Li looked over in surprise.

Ophelia said embarrassedly: "I was just helping out, I didn't have any credit, I just took advantage of the teacher."

Seeing Jiang Li's confusion, she explained the relationship between the magic circle at the city gate and the magic academy. The magic academy has cultivated countless excellent magicians for the mainland, and the teachers working in the school are of course also excellent magicians, and there are many people who have multiple jobs. For example, Ophelia's teacher who improved the magic circle, in addition to his teaching job at the magic academy, he is also a clergyman in the church.

In the confrontation with the demons, the unique light magic of the clergy is in conflict with the attributes of the demons, so the magic circles of each city-state are also arranged and modified by the church. In the experiment of improving the magic circle, Ophelia was also selected as one of the assistants because of her outstanding academic performance.

Jiang Li nodded: "I see."

He praised: "Since you were selected, it means you are also an excellent magician, and your grades in school must be excellent."

Augustus said proudly: "Of course, Ophelia is always the first, she is the best."

The blonde girl was a little embarrassed by the praise, her blue eyes were bright, and she could not hide the joy on her face.

Just when they came to a fork in the road, she stopped and pointed in the opposite direction of the two people: "I want to go there, brother, Mr. Jiang Li, let's separate here."

"Ophelia, do you want me to take you?"

"No, brother, I know the capital better than you." Ophelia lifted the hem of her skirt, said goodbye to the two of them gracefully, and then carried her suitcase to the direction of the magic school. Her friends had already arrived ahead of time, and thinking of the surprises she had packed in her suitcase, her steps became much lighter.

Huh, they will definitely be surprised!

As for Jiang Li and Augustus, they found a comfortable hotel in the royal capital to stay in, and visited the supermarket branch in the royal capital, watching the hustle and bustle from afar. The supermarket in the royal capital recently launched a new lip glaze, which will make the lips more moisturized and plump after applying it. Noble ladies and rich girls rushed to buy it for themselves, and the door was filled with shopping queues.

Both Jiang Li and Augustus were sensible and did not get close. The two went to the most famous restaurant in the capital to enjoy dinner. The dishes were very otherworldly. Jiang Li also saw hot pot on the menu. Here, hot pot has another name.

Dore-style special stew.

Looking around, many people at other tables ordered this special stew, either clear soup or tomato, and a few spicy flavors. Various vegetables and meats were served in the soup, colorful and very tempting.

Jiang Li: "..."

Isn't this just malatang!

He closed the menu silently and ordered a signature dish of the other world for himself.

The night in the other world was not lively, so they went back to rest early. The fatigue of the journey made them fall asleep quickly. The next morning, a group of people appeared at the door of the hotel.

Augustus knocked on the door: "Jiang Li, it's time to go."

"Coming."

Jiang Li changed into the formal clothes specially prepared for meeting His Majesty the King. After going downstairs, he saw a team of guards waiting at the door, and a luxurious carriage.

The other guests of the hotel curiously poked their heads out, and came to see what kind of great person was worthy of the royal knights to come and welcome him specially.

Sitting in the carriage, Jiang Li said uncomfortably: "Isn't it too grand?"

"Cheer up, Jiang Li, you are the person that His Majesty the King specifically wants to see." Augustus comforted him, "Besides, I'm with you, don't worry."

Having said that, after arriving at the palace, Jiang Li found that the blond nobleman walked even more stiffly than himself.

Jiang Li: "..."

They soon met the king.

The king was a serious middle-aged man with a short beard that was trimmed very neatly. He didn't wear any special and grand clothes. The thin clothes outlined his strong and majestic outline, more like a warrior killing people on the battlefield.

"Are you Jiang Li?"

The king sat on the throne casually, supporting his chin with one hand, looking at the black-haired young man in front of him: "You are much younger than I thought. I thought that a magician as outstanding as you should be an old man like Leon."

The court magician stood by and lowered his eyes without changing his expression when he heard the king teasing him. In fact, he was not old, but his temples were a little gray.

"Leon." The king turned his head and asked: "If it was you, could you beat him?"

Hearing this, the court magician raised his eyelids and looked at the young man in the center. Indeed, he was incredibly young, like a student who had just graduated from a magic academy, but he knew very well that this overly young great magician had the power to repel the beast tide.

The magician has a keen sense of magic power and has his own way of distinguishing similar ones. Through the active magic elements around Jiang Li, he was surprised to find that this young man has a strong magic power that does not match his age. The magic power is vast, at least... with his current strength, he can't see the boundaries.

After a long time, the court magician shook his head slowly: "Not necessarily."

"Oh?" The king raised his eyebrows in surprise: "It's amazing."

Jiang Li was a little unsure of the attitude of His Majesty the King, and thanked him with a misty face: "You are honored."

"In that case..." His Majesty the King changed his arm to support, and his eyes suddenly became sharp, looking straight at Jiang Li, as if he could see through his eyes and see the secrets in his heart. "Do you want to challenge the Demon King?"

Jiang Li was stunned.

Then he shook his head decisively: "No."

Demon King? No.

He is just an ordinary supermarket owner.
