Chapter 297: A Messenger in the Name of Peace
At this moment, in the palace hall, there was already a dead silence.
The nobles stood tremblingly to the side, sweating profusely at the emperor sitting on the throne. Namesses VIII sat down in his chair with a grim face, and said nothing. The entire hall was so quiet that you could barely hear a pin, except for the faint sound of explosions outside. This made the crowd more and more uneasy, and they exchanged glances and frowned, but their expressions were not very relaxed-after all, they knew very well that the explosions and shelling could never come from their side.
Then, the answer is obvious.
It's just that I don't know where the attack is here, although it is not that there are no dragons on the Klein continent who have plundered human countries, but most of them are single-handed, and there has never been a dragon clan in groups to find trouble with the Shining Gold Empire, could it be that this is the secret army of the Skar Federation? This is not right, if the Skar Federation really had such a strong army, then the offensive of the Shining Gold Empire would have been stopped a long time ago, and it would not have been possible to fight until now. If it was a third-party force fishing in troubled waters, everyone racked their brains and couldn't imagine who would be so bold to come to them in the vicinity of the Shining Gold Empire............
The sky seemed to darken, and the whole hall fell into darkness. And then, an explosion erupted behind everyone without warning.
"Boom !!"
The towering dome collapsed as if shattered by an invisible hand, and the Kafka reliefs originally carved on it were reduced to pieces, and the people did not even have time to feel the heartache of the destruction of the works of art five centuries ago before they heard a "bang". A huge shadow fell from the sky, leveling the entire corridor to the ground. Even the main hall itself began to shake in the midst of the violent impact. Cracks visible to the naked eye appeared on the heavy walls, and dust rained down. The ministers screamed and fled to the rear, while the Guards quickly assembled, weapons in hand and watched warily at the smoke and dust ahead.
Everyone watched with bated breath ahead as they saw a figure walking out of the smoke and dust.
It was a young man who looked no more than twenty years old, and he was dressed in a black gown, and he looked like one of those noble children everywhere. The only difference was that around his waist, two long swords hung at once. One of them was as cold as ice with a soul-stirring blue color. The other seemed to be wrapped in shadows formed by dancing black flames, and only occasionally a glimmer of light emerged from the depths of the shadows. I have to admit that this young aristocrat is very handsome and chic, and the pair of gold-rimmed glasses also gave him a little more elegance, which made people feel gentle and elegant, and it was easy to feel good. He was smiling, unhurried, and looked as relaxed as if he were taking a tea walk in the back garden in the afternoon.
Only now on this occasion. But no one would really think that this young man was just here for a walk and tea.
"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the Imperial Imperial City!! ”
Soon, the chief of the guard stood up from the crowd, drew his sword, and stared warily at the young man in front of him. Then he asked loudly.
However, in the face of his questioning, Jenn didn't care at all, he didn't even look at the other party. Just stared at the emperor sitting on the throne in front of him, and then reached out and put his hand on his chest. Gracefully bowed to each other.
"I think you must be the Emperor of the Shining Gold Empire, His Majesty Nanesses VIII. Sorry to bother. I think I should introduce myself -- I am the lord of Passus, the lord of the House of Pachanons, Jenn. Pachanons. When you meet for the first time, please bear with me if there is any rudeness. ”
Hearing Jenn's self-introduction, almost everyone was stunned, Passus? Pacharnonoms? What's that? The terms were so unfamiliar that everyone fell into an eerie silence until a moment later, when a fat nobleman let out a soft "ah" as if he remembered something, pointing at Jenn. And his shouts seemed to wake up the others, Passus......... Isn't the place where the previous Emperor Xià just mentioned?
For a while, everyone's eyes when they looked at Jenn suddenly changed, to be honest, their perception of Passus was limited to the fact that the other party was a relatively remote territory of the Skar Federation, and a front-line division of the empire was wiped out there, so it would provoke the anger of the emperor. But they didn't expect that the owner of that territory would actually come to the door with a big thorn!
And in such a way that no one could have imagined.
"Looks like everyone already knows where I'm coming from."
In front of everyone's gaze, Jenn smiled and flicked his neckline and made a gesture of dusting -- the whole action was so perfect that even the strictest etiquette could not find any fault with it. He nodded to the Imperial Ministers, and then turned back to look at Namesses VIII on the throne.
"To tell you the truth, I have only come here with great sincerity. Your Majesty, the Emperor said that Passus did not have any conflict with your country, but he was invaded by your country three times and twice, and I think this is really a very excessive thing. That's why I'm here, hoping to sign an armistice with His Majesty the Emperor to settle the little misunderstandings and conflicts between us. Believe me, Your Majesty the Emperor, I have come to meet you with great sincerity. ”
"Hmph, sincerity."
Hearing Jenn's words, the old king snorted coldly, and he narrowed his eyes and looked contemptuously at Jenn who was standing below with a smile on his face, as if it were only a dog there.
"What if I refuse your request?"
"That's a shame."
Hearing the old king's answer, the smile on Jenn's face did not change in the slightest, and he was still so suave.
"If you don't want to, then I'll have to put another person who is willing to sign a deal with me in this position."
“…………………”
The entire hall fell into a deathly silence for a moment, and all the ministers widened their eyes in surprise and looked at the young man standing in front of them in disbelief. They even suspect for a moment that they have misheard. Or is it that the young man is crazy, what is he talking about? How dare he say that? How could he say that! Who does he think he is?! What kind of place did he think this was!!
"Presumptuous! Bold fanatic!! ”
At this time, the captain of the guard also reacted. He shouted angrily, and the next moment he stabbed towards Jenn with a sword.
As the chief of the guard who guards the royal family. His strength is naturally not to be overstated, the moment he took out the sword, he himself had already merged with the sword light, and the sharp sword qi erupted and swirled forward, and even the other people around him were stung by this sword qi, and they couldn't help but retreat back. Only Jenn was still standing in place, facing the furious and shining sword light. Even if the opponent's sword blade was already in front of him, Jenn's smile didn't change at all, he just stood there. Watching the attack of the captain of the guard, the corners of his mouth curled slightly.
No one noticed that a light of contempt flashed silently in his eyes.
The next moment, Jenn's right hand pressed against the hilt of the Shadow Moon Sword at his waist. At the same time, the entire hall suddenly became darker and darker.
Everyone only felt that their eyes were dark, as if the originally dim hall had been extinguished a few more lights, and the sword qi released by the captain of the guard also seemed to be shrouded in this dark shadow, and it became dim in an instant, as if everyone blinked at that moment.
Subsequently. The light returned to normal again.
And at this moment, the captain of the guard had come behind Jenn, he held his sword in both hands, and the blade of the sword was forward. made a chopping gesture. The whole person stood there motionless, and Jenn was still standing in place, the only difference was that he didn't know when. The Shadow Moon Sword at his waist was already unsheathed, and the blade of Senhan's sword became brighter and brighter under the shadow scabbard. Dazzling. Then, Jenn gripped the hilt of his sword. Press down.
"Puff ..............."
At the same moment, blood spurted out of the neck of the Captain of the Guard, scattering in an arc through the air and scattering to the ground. A visible crack emerged from the neck under the squeeze of blood, gradually spreading, and at the same time, the body of the captain of the guard fell to the ground with a "thud" like a puppet with a broken thread, and the head completely left its body, grunting and rolling to the side, until it stopped in the corner.
"Oh my God, he actually killed Cliff! He actually killed the cheetah of the Empire!! ”
"Lord Cliff is a master of swordsmanship, who is this young man!?"
Everyone was stunned to see this, Cliff. Storff is a famous swordsman in the Empire, his flashing sword has almost reached its peak, except for those few sword saints in the Empire, almost no one is his opponent, and now, in front of this young man, this famous swordsman in the Empire is actually not the opponent's general? He didn't even have the slightest strength to resist, and he was completely killed by the other party? How powerful this young man is, can it be............
"Legendary Realm."
A hoarse, bellows-like voice suddenly appeared, and the noisy voices of the nobles were suppressed. Then I saw the crowd part, and then a muscular man in a black coat, who looked to be in his fifties, strode out of the crowd, his eyes narrowed, and his face that looked like a lion was angry at any time with a bit of solemnity and solemnity.
"That's a great achievement for your age, but if you think you can challenge a country head-on with that little skill, you're very wrong."
"Master Glinkes!!"
Seeing his appearance, everyone's hearts were relieved, and then they called out the name of this man, and they only looked at this man with admiration in their eyes, for no other reason, because the man in front of them was one of the two legendary sword saints who had secretly guarded the empire for decades -- the Golden Lion Grinx.
"I never wanted to challenge a country, Mr. Grinx."
Jenn naturally knew the name of this legendary powerhouse, he first nodded politely at the other party, and then continued to speak with a smile on his face.
"But my people were caught up in the war and lost their lives. And they are innocent and have nothing to do with this war. As a lord, I must seek justice for them, and I do not think that peace will be a difficult thing for both of us. ”
As he spoke, Jenn reached out and pushed his glasses.
"I came here with sincerity, which is why I am here to talk to you, but unfortunately, this Emperor does not seem to be very interested in my mention. I really couldn't help it, so I had to try to convince him to change his mind. ”
“…………………”
Hearing Jenn's answer, Grinx narrowed his eyes and looked at the young man with a little more admiration in his eyes. It is the sacred rule of this world for a nobleman to protect his subordinates and subjects, and it is also the honor of the ancient nobles. It's just that few people are willing to cling to such glory like fools, and for them, the life and death of the people are nothing compared to their own status and power. And now, this young man is willing to face a country for the sake of his people, and this courage alone deserves respect.
"Well said, Mr. Jenn, but you should also understand that the glory of the Empire is not to be desecrated."
As he spoke, Grinx drew his two-handed sword from his waist, and golden flames rushed from it, illuminating the dim shadows in front of him.
"Glory......... In my opinion, this is nothing more than unrepentant persistence and stubbornness. ”
Hearing this, Jenn shook his head, and then he stretched out his hand, drew his sword and unsheathed it, and the azure light came out of thin air, pointing straight ahead with a cold and piercing aura.
"And in my opinion, this qiē is meaningless." (To be continued......)
