Chapter 635 Gareth Osborne Under Flora's guidance, Renn and Flora soon arrived at a magnificent palace in the center of the royal palace.
At the palace gate, two guards, both at the peak of the fourth rank, stood guard with long spears, watching their surroundings warily.
As soon as Raine and Flora arrived at the palace gate, they were stopped by two guards.
"Halt!"
The two guards spoke in low voices, their long spears crossed to block the gate, their eyes fixed on Renn beside Flora.
The menacing aura emanating from the two guards revealed them to be among the elite of the elite.
Flora stepped forward and snapped, "Get out of the way! This is my father's guest, Lord Rein. You must not be disrespectful!"
Renn smiled and pulled Flora back.
He said yesterday that he would come at noon today, so the emperor couldn't possibly have failed to inform the guards.
There is only one possibility for this situation to occur now.
These two guards were used by Gareth Osborne to test him.
Rein pulled Flora forward a step, and the next moment, something unexpected happened to the two guards.
Raine and Flora vanished right in front of the two guards and then instantly reappeared behind them.
Just as the two guards were about to turn around, they heard Renn say:
"Alright, I'll go find Gareth myself. You guys keep guarding the door. If you try to stop me again, I won't be so easy to talk to."
After speaking, Raine unleashed his seventh-tier aura, which poured towards the two guards.
Upon seeing this, the two guards tensed up and instantly abandoned the idea of turning around.
The task His Majesty assigned them has been completed, so there's no need to further provoke this lord.
"Yes!" the guard replied.
After receiving a reply from the two guards, Renn led Flora into the palace.
As soon as he entered the palace, a maidservant came out from the side and bowed to Renn, saying:
"Lord Renn, Princess Flora, please follow me."
Seeing this, Renn snorted and followed the maid with Flora.
Before long, the maid led Ren and his companion to a room.
As soon as they pushed open the door and entered the room, the two saw a middle-aged man standing inside.
The middle-aged man had short black hair, somewhat grayish-white skin, and dull, lifeless purple-sapphire eyes.
He was dressed in the imperial robes of the Lylemont Empire, and a smile appeared on his lips when he saw Flora.
"Oh, it's Flora! It's been so long since I've seen you," Gareth said with a smile.
"Good day, Father." Flora bowed to Gareth, standing beside Renn.
Gareth nodded, then looked at Renn beside Flora and said:
"You must be Ryan. I've wanted to meet you for a long time."
"Good day, Your Majesty Gareth." Renn smiled and nodded.
Gareth walked to the sofa in the room, sat down, and pointed to the sofa opposite him, saying:
"sit."
Renn led Flora to the sofa, where Renn sat opposite Gareth, while Flora sat next to Gareth.
Seeing this, a maidservant stepped forward and poured a cup of hot tea for each of the three, including Rein and Gareth.
"Renne, where in the Eternal Continent are you from? To reach this level at such a young age, you must be someone of considerable talent," Gareth said, taking a sip of hot tea and inquiring about Renne's background.
Because Renn is currently unsure whether Gareth's attitude towards the 'outsiders' is friendly, Renn is not prepared to tell the truth.
After all, judging from Gareth's recent statement about 'where people are from on the Eternal Continent,' Gareth believed in the Healing Church's secret methods and regarded Rein as a native of the Eternal Continent.
Renn laughed and said, "He's just someone from a remote place who reached this level by chance."
"I was accidentally sucked into a spatial rift some time ago, and only returned to the Eternal Continent because of Princess Flora's summons."
Upon hearing this, Gareth understood that he could not obtain Rein's specific background, but seeing that Rein had no hostility towards the Empire, he had at least received some answers.
He coughed twice, then said:
"Ahem... Is that so? That's really lucky. It seems you and Flora are quite destined for each other."
"So... Renn, are you planning to stay in the Empire for a long time?"
After saying that, Gareth took a sip of hot tea to suppress his cough.
Renn said, "When I was summoned here, Flora was preoccupied with the matter of a marriage alliance. Seeing that she had no intention of getting married, I stepped in to stop it."
"After all, Flora was able to summon me, which can be considered a favor to me. As for staying for a long time, I haven't decided yet."
Gareth was silent for a moment, then said, "Raine, I can tell that you have no hostility toward the Empire."
"To be honest, this is a relief."
"In that case, you can continue to stay in the Empire. If you intend to stay in the Empire for a long time and join the Empire, I can grant you the title of Imperial King."
“If you are interested in Flora, I can even marry her to you, since I don’t think Flora is averse to you.”
Renn smiled and shook his head: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty Gareth, but I only regard Flora as a younger sister and have no romantic feelings for her."
"As for the title of king you mentioned, at our level, king is just a title."
Gareth patted Flora's head and nodded. "You're right, it's noon, let's go enjoy lunch first."
“Okay.” Raine got up from the sofa.
The three of them left the room and headed towards the dining room.
In the corridor, Ryan walked side by side with Gareth. Ryan asked:
“Your Majesty Gareth, I mean no offense, but I have a question. At your age, your life force should not be so weak. What is this…?”
Gareth smiled and waved his hand, saying:
"Sigh, that was a few years ago. You know my strength: peak fifth-tier warrior plus mid-level seventh-tier summoner."
"You also know that people in the Eternal Continent cannot break through to the sixth rank of Warrior."
"A few years ago, when I broke through to the peak of the fifth rank, I had a feeling that was exactly the same as when I broke through from the fourth rank to the fifth rank. I immediately felt that I had the possibility of breaking through to the sixth rank of warrior."
"Breaking through to the sixth rank of Warrior is the hope of all warriors on the Eternal Continent!"
"Therefore, I mobilized the entire empire to collect martial arts treasures in preparation, and ultimately chose to attempt a breakthrough."
"At first, the breakthrough went smoothly. My fighting spirit steadily increased after consuming the treasure. But soon I found that, for some reason, I couldn't break through the barrier of the sixth rank at all."
"I refused to believe in evil and consumed a large number of treasures in an attempt to force a breakthrough, but I failed in the end. I was also affected by the backlash of my battle qi, and my life force was reduced to this state."
