Chapter 57: The Guards' Revenge

Under the leadership of the attendants, the four of them shuttled through the various corridors and stairwells of the palace, and the various luxurious decorations and rare beasts they saw in the garden along the way made Xue Hua dizzy.

The hordes of minions and heavily armoured guards, and the exotic flowers and plants planted along the road, gave him the urge to loot the place.

But fortunately, he also knew that the reason why Lu Gao was so rich because of the royal family was not really how many people had looted the people's fat and ointment, but because of the prosperous trade here.

Everything here has been the result of the tireless efforts of generations of kings to get to where it is today.

So he's just thinking about it.

However, it is worth mentioning that the deeper you go into the palace, the more guards there are in the open and in the dark, and the aura on your body is getting stronger and stronger.

Even by the time they reached the periphery of the palace chamber, all the guards there had been replaced by mercenary-level soldiers.

These guards are covered in all kinds of colorful armor, and the weapons in their hands are also varied.

Compared to the guards on the periphery, they resembled a motley army of improvised conscripts.

But Xue Hua knew that compared to the soldiers outside wearing gorgeous standard armor, these guards were the real main force to defend the palace, and anyone who dared to despise them because of their attire would definitely pay an extremely heavy price immediately.

None of these mercenary-level guards were below level 30, and if they swarmed up like this, even Xue Hua would have to scramble for a while.

Just as he was looking at the equipment of the guards, the waiter who was leading the way at the front suddenly stopped.

A paladin wearing a full set of gold-level equipment and holding a huge dark gold-level double-edged axe in his hand blocked their path with a team of Praetorian guards.

"Who are these people? Why come to the palace? The paladin didn't even glance at Farah and Dragognam, and asked the waiter who was leading the way.

This is a rather impolite question, and it is also very redundant.

As an officer of the palace guard, how could he not even know Farah and Dragonam, the two guardians of Lugoin?

Obviously, this guy did it on purpose at all.

The four people who followed the waiter glanced at each other, like a mirror in their hearts.

"Sure enough!"

A sneer hung on the corner of Xue Hua's mouth.

Even if this guy really didn't know Farah and Dragonang, he wouldn't dare stop them when the waiter announced their identities for a while.

Similarly, Kane's status is noble, and he will definitely not dare to stop him.

But when it comes to his name, I'm afraid it's not so easy to pass.

This is clearly aimed at him.

Sure enough, after the waiter informed Farah and the others of their identities and intentions for visiting, the paladin immediately moved out of the way with a smirk on his face and let them pass smoothly.

But when Xue Hua was also about to follow along, this guy immediately turned around and stopped in front of him like an iron tower.

Even the expression on his face instantly turned cold.

"Who are you? What is the matter of meeting His Majesty the King? ”

The paladin stood in front of Xue Hua with a dark gold axe and drooping eyes, looking businesslike.

But the sneer that flashed in his eyes revealed his intentions.

Ay... Sure enough, it's Hades who is good, and the little ghost is difficult~

Xue Hua sighed, and was about to take out the letter to show this guy, but who knew that this paladin didn't give him a chance to get the letter at all, so he directly took care of himself and continued: "A necromancer of more than ten levels, what legitimate reason can he have to meet His Majesty the King?" I'm afraid I didn't follow a few sages to get in! ”

"Come on, throw this guy out for me!"

Hearing his words, the guards behind him immediately walked out of the four of them, ran quickly to Xue Hua's side with weapons, and stretched out their hands to grab Xue Hua's clothes.

The level of these four guards is as high as level 40, and the equipment on their bodies is at least golden, and they think that they can definitely deal with such a small character as Xue Hua.

They had a playful smile on their faces, and at the same time, their hands were secretly strengthened, ready to give the guy in front of them a little bitterness.

This paladin actually doesn't have a particularly good relationship with the necromancer Liu Zhen, but Liu Zhen went on a mission to deal with a necromancer of more than ten levels, but was defeated by the other party, and the news that he returned was equivalent to slapping all the guards in the face.

Where could these royal guards, who usually look above the top, stand such insults, so while spitting on Liu Zhen and thinking that he was a straw bag, they also held back their strength to find this field on Xue Hua.

This time, Xue Hua entered the palace to meet the king, which can be said to have given them a good opportunity, in order to embarrass Xue Hua, these Praetorian Guard officers can be said to have laid many obstacles on his way into the palace, and they are bound to let this "little necromancer who doesn't know the height of the sky" get out of the palace by himself.

If they do this, even if they are questioned at that time, it can be inferred that it is a misunderstanding caused by not knowing Xue Hua, after all, Xue Hua's reputation is not very big in Lu Gaoyin, and it is reasonable that they don't know each other.

At that time, they will only receive a few innocuous reprimands at most.

And Xue Hua can only swallow this dumb loss by himself.

Of course, the biggest reason why they dared to do this was actually from the king's secret instructions.

Jie Haiyin had expressed his disgust and anger towards Xue Hua in front of them more than once, thinking that Xue Hua had made him lose people and lose face, and he had always wanted to find an opportunity to treat this arrogant outsider.

This emboldened them a lot, after all, they could be regarded as helping the king to achieve this wish.

They took it for granted that even if something did happen, the king would do his best to protect them.

So they didn't hesitate to do it.

And just as the hands of several guards were about to grab Xue Hua's body, a flash of lightning suddenly appeared in front of Xue Hua.

After the electric light faded, Farah's figure slowly revealed.

"Stop! This is Hua Xue, and he has something important to meet the king! ”

Farah said with a solemn face, then turned his head, glanced at Xue Hua, and motioned for him to take out the letter and show it to this guy.

The corners of Xue Hua's mouth hooked up a sneer, and he hesitated slightly, but he still suppressed the idea of teaching this shameless veteran ruffian a good lesson here, and instead took out the letter with the pattern of Akara's personal emblem from the inventory.

Farah took the letter and handed it to the frowning paladin.

As soon as the paladin received the letter, his expression froze, and Akara's personal emblem was printed on the envelope, this personal emblem was the mana characteristic of a legendary powerhouse, which could not be imitated at all.

And those who possessed the envelope with the Akara insignia were indeed qualified to meet the king.

The paladin was silent for a long time holding the envelope, and his mind turned one method after another, but he couldn't think of any other way to prevent Xue Hua from meeting the king.

In the end, he had to return the envelope to Farah with an ugly face, and turned sideways to get out of the way.

Farah handed the envelope to Xue Hua and walked past the paladin without squinting.

The paladin stood there fixedly looking at Xue Hua's back, and the expression on his face was cloudy and uncertain.

It was a long time before he beckoned to his men on the side, whispering in his ear for a while.

The subordinate nodded, and quickly took a shortcut down the corridor to the inside of the palace.

After doing this, he glanced at Xue Hua's back who slowly disappeared on the stairs with complicated eyes, and muttered, "I hope that guy listens to persuasion, otherwise it will be a big trouble." ”

Then he suddenly shook his head and sneered, and continued to patrol along the corridor with his men.
