Chapter 43: The Kings Strike, the Candidate Saint, and the First Meeting with the Queen
"Where's Lucy? I sent her a letter before. How did she react?"
The white-haired man's words jumped very quickly. One second he was talking about when to start a war with the demon camp, and the next second he switched to women.
Carlos, the gun ghost, twitched his face and said hesitantly:
"When Roland and Kelvin sent the letter, she didn't read it at all and just tore it into pieces."
In fact, Lucy not only tore up the letter, but also cursed.
What kind of unlucky, scumbag, old gangster, treacherous liar...
In short, the scolding was so unpleasant that he would not tell His Majesty these words.
I have to say that His Majesty was indeed unreasonable in this matter and gave up in the beginning. Although he had some difficulties at the beginning, women would not care so much.
"What a silly bitch."
The white-haired man shook his head and said with emotion, "Carlos, do you know? Women are strange creatures. You can't be too good to them, otherwise they will bite you, but you can't ignore them completely either.
Otherwise they will be angry and resent you again.
Only by mastering the degree can you control them.
Moreover, it is very foolish to give up a forest for a woman.
A real man should hug you from left to right, catch them all in one fell swoop, catch all the rain and dew, and live up to them."
Carlos: "..."
(￣△￣；)
He would not comment on the speech of such a scumbag.
Moreover, he felt that His Majesty might have miscalculated this time. Lucy had seen clearly the true nature of his playboy scumbag and might not look back.
But Carlos can understand His Majesty.
Throughout the ages, which king has not had a lot of love debt behind his back?
There are many good women who have been let down by kings. If you insist on speaking, they are all scumbags, and none of them live their lives just by their wives.
So, elder brother, don’t laugh at second brother.
At this point, the identity of the white-haired man was also revealed, that is, Charles IV.
A hundred years ago, he claimed to have "committed suicide" to apologize. There are also rumors that he was killed by the two giants, the previous head of the Knights Templar of the Church of Light and the mysterious presiding judge of the Inquisition.
But no matter which version he said, it was obviously wrong, and he was still alive and well.
Among the people, he also has a series of nicknames such as "Charlemagne", "Iron-Blooded Charlie", "Sun King", "Steel Dragon of Falorland", etc.
"That dark cloud looks like smelly mud. The more I look at it, the more disgusting it becomes."
After talking about women, the emperor with flowing white hair and a dignified appearance turned his attention to the southern plains.
A hundred miles away, high in the sky, a large dark cloud filled with the aura of death and corrosion was constantly condensing and spreading, rising and falling erratically.
Dark clouds were pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it. In the corrosive clouds, one could vaguely see a huge skeleton giant that was several thousand feet tall and fierce.
That is the prince of the demon clan, Christian.
The sky of the plain was divided into two parts by two strange phenomena, the waves shaking the sea of light and the thick clouds of death confronting each other.
"Ah."
Charlemagne sneered and suddenly raised his right hand, a terrifying momentum suddenly rose into the sky.
Boom!!
Above the small town, there was thunder in the clear sky, and the sound spread for hundreds of miles. The incandescent force lightning danced like a silver snake. In the vast sea of light like the starry sky, countless twinkling stars outlined the outline of a giant, with a face similar to that of Charlemagne.
Same.
This is a method that Director Karl has never shown, and it should only be used by those who are majoring in the Demon Slaying Art.
This is not an ordinary projection or phantom body, but more similar to an advanced external incarnation.
Charlemagne's whole body was washed away by the torrent of force. He had a resolute face and a majestic posture. The sea of stars above his head began to surge, making his momentum comparable to the sky.
There were twelve red-gold regular divine chains wrapped around his solid body, binding his limbs.
"Your Majesty, calm down..." Carlos was startled and was about to persuade.
Charlemagne's white hair was flying, his eyes were as cold as lightning, and his palms were pointed forward and pressed.
Boom!!
In the sky, the terrifying giant standing tall on the sky, whose body seemed to be condensed from the stars, moved in sync, and a huge palm surrounded by transparent shock waves brought up the majestic torrent of the force, slamming towards the plain like thousands of blue waves roaring down the bank.
That cloud of death in the south!
The momentum was terrifying, and the huge hand of nebula that covered the sky and sun spread for hundreds of miles. Along the way, the atmosphere burst, and the void collapsed in large areas.
"Roar!!"
Such a huge momentum obviously alarmed Prince Christian on the opposite side. Suddenly, a terrifying roar came from the dark clouds. In an instant, dark thunder flashed and the dark clouds rolled!
The gigantic skeletal giant thousands of feet tall raised its sharp claws that were surrounded by the surging dark force. When the ghost claws probed, it instantly tore apart the sea of atmospheric clouds and faced the big hand of the nebula with an extremely ferocious momentum!
Bang——!!
The Cloudy Ghost Claw and the Galaxy's Big Hand collided high in the sky, just like the opening of chaos. The most intense conflict broke out between the powerful forces of light and darkness. The sky instantly cracked like a fragile mirror, and a deafening roar resounded across the plains!
Then, countless space cracks and force lightning spread, and the violent energy heat flow was vented like a tsunami.
However, the stalemate only lasted for a moment, and the big hand of Xinghe, bathed in divine light, shattered the ghost claw and slapped it on the chest of the skeleton giant.
Bang!!
After being slapped, the skeleton giant that was several thousand feet tall instantly leaned back. Its pale and huge bones cracked under the bombardment of the shock waves from the palm prints, and finally exploded like a huge ice sculpture!
Subsequently, the endless cloud of death shrouding the southern part of the plain was dispelled by Xinghe's big hand, and the bright sunlight poured down from high in the sky, illuminating for the first time in half a year the half of the land that had become a devil's cave.
At the same time, under the disintegrating clouds, there was also a hoarse and painful groan.
Christian, the prince of the demon clan, has been injured, and he is probably still seriously injured.
His domain and skeleton were both shattered once, and the damage would definitely be fed back to the main body.
On the other side of the plain, on the rooftop.
Only then did Charlemagne put down his arms, and the incandescent force flow and the twelve regular golden locks rolling on his body disappeared.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He glanced at the sun-drenched southern plains, nodded with satisfaction, and said:
"It's much more pleasing to the eye."
After doing all this, he yawned lazily and lay back on the recliner like a salted fish that had lost its energy.
He picked up the wine glass on the table beside him, took a sip, and said:
"You still dare to show off. If labor and management don't give him a slap, that old monster still thinks he can get along with me 50-50."
Carlos the Gun Ghost: "..."
The emperor still has his original temper.
No, it has become much gentler.
More than a hundred years ago, he would have rushed over and slapped the old monster to death with his big slap.
"Hey, what happened just now?"
"Who knows, the starry sky above our heads suddenly started to move, and then there was a deafening loud noise from the south."
"...It's so scary, like the end of the world."
The downstairs of Thorns Security Company was abuzz with people. Many residents were alarmed by the vision just now and walked out of the house, talking about it.
Maybe it was because Charlemagne controlled his power so well that his aura was instantly restrained, so most people didn't realize that the person who did it was on the top of the building.
Arturia stood on the street not far away, looking a little surprised.
She raised her head and looked at the roof of the building a hundred meters away. Her emerald green eyes flashed with golden light, and she threw a level detection over there.
[...William Franz Charles Clement, Domain Level 30, Holy Body Level 31... Note: The target is in a state of self-suppression (sealing).]
Arturia raised her eyebrows, looking surprised.
If I remember correctly, this name...isn't it the "late" Charles IV?
What is self-sealing?
"It's a little strange."
Artoria shook her head, with some confusion in her eyes.
Most of the king-level powerful men in this world are at domain level 31-35 and holy bodies at level 26-30.
Charlemagne, on the other hand, is the complete opposite. He is actually the Eucharist > Realm.
This is rare. The road to totem becomes more and more difficult in the later stages, especially from level 30 to level 31. It can be called a heavenly barrier, and even many dark monarchs are stuck.
The level 35 realm can be called a complete small world.
The realm can connect to the outside world, but the physical body is relatively limited in size, and it is undoubtedly much more difficult to use the holy body to support the sky and have a power comparable to that of a small world than to evolve the realm into a small world.
"Kate, follow up."
Not far away, the church genius Michelle glanced back, his expression as cold as iron.
"Oh, I got it."
Arturia, who was deep in thought, immediately woke up and quickly followed Michelle.
During this time, she has passed two rounds of selection and became one of the nine candidate saints. It will take two more rounds of eliminations to select the real saint.
She asked casually: "What is the test today?"
"Don't ask, you will know once you go to the monastery."
Michelle said coldly, seeming very inhumane.
In fact, if Renn hadn't written to him, he wouldn't have bothered to help take care of the girl, no matter how good her appearance and temperament were.
Although he is the "Twin Star" of the younger generation of the church, he has no interest in this kind of audition for a saint, nor does he care about who can become a saint.
If you have this skill, you might as well go hunting demon descendants on the plains...
Arturia shook her head slightly and said nothing.
This man's character was extremely indifferent. I didn't understand why Ren could make friends with him. He felt like he was not the same person.
…………
The royal capital, Red Dragon Palace.
The central axis of the palace runs east-west, and the gate faces east, which is in line with the tradition of the Farolan people who like to watch the sun rise in the front yard and set in the back yard.
There are three radioactive avenues in the square in front of the palace. The middle one is connected to the bustling wine avenue outside. The south side is where the princes and princesses live, and the north side is the government offices. The middle palace and its wings surround the imperial courtyard and the central marble courtyard. Behind the palace garden is the Grand Palace.
garden.
On the central axis, there are water platforms, fountains, the Avenue of the Royal Knights, the Red Dragon Fountain and a canal.
It is majestic, carved and painted, magnificent and beautiful...
This palace is the most gorgeous palace that Ren has ever seen, and it kills the Holy Land Marie Joa in seconds.
However, even such a splendid and magnificent palace cannot take away the beauty and charm displayed by the graceful figure of Pingting in front of the palace.
"Oh, isn't this Princess Sophie? Good morning."
Ren passed Veronica beside him in a few steps, approached the iceberg beauty, and said hello with a smile on his face.
He didn't want to see this woman at all, but she was standing here, clearly waiting for him.
Princess Sophie had black hair shawl, folded her arms, and had no expression on her beautiful face with as fair as jade skin and regular features. Her beautiful amber eyes stared at Ren and said lightly:
"Good morning, Mr. Ackerman."
"Your Highness, do you want to see me for anything?"
Ren looked at her with a formulaic smile, and instantly thought of Trina in his mind.
so similar.
He finally understood why Kesha looked at Sophie differently.
Although she did not regain her memory and power at that time, she instinctively felt that Sophie was a bit familiar. This wave was a substitute literature...
"Nothing, I just want to admire the style of the number one genius in mainland China and see why he is favored by so many women."
Sophie's red lips curled up slightly, showing a faint smile, but there was a bit of sarcasm in her voice.
Ren squinted his eyes, the silver light flashed away, and said lazily:
"Well, it's all because my handsomeness that has nowhere to go is so attractive."
Sophie: "..."
(￢?￢)
Bah, narcissist.
Princess Sophie's face was cold, and she stepped forward, her long jade legs stepping on gray crystal high heels, her steps swaying.
When she passed by Ren, she stayed beside him for a moment and whispered:
"Ren, I will keep an eye on you. If you do something sorry for Kesha, I don't mind telling her like a villain."
She doesn't like Ren.
He is very talented and has the appearance of a king. He deserves to be the number one genius in mainland China.
But the more this happens, the less she likes him.
Because such a man is bound to have no shortage of women around him and will have many confidantes. It is impossible for him to just stay with Kesha for the rest of his life.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! She is worried about her best friend, worried that she will be abandoned by Ren En as she loves her so much.
"hehe."
Hearing Sophie's words, Ren rolled his eyes and didn't bother to pay attention to her.
He doesn't like this princess.
It may be a disguise, but Princess Sophie does have a bit of a lily tendency. She feels that she and Kesha can go all the way if they support each other, and men are too much in the way.
Ever since Ren captured the Valkyrie's heart, Sophie has never given him a good look.
However, if he really encounters trouble, Sophie will help him, and she has helped him, but don't expect to hear anything nice from her mouth.
"Don't think that the first genius in mainland China is great. If you are complacent, you will be eliminated."
Sophie turned her back to him, spoke in a cold voice, and left quickly without waiting for his response.
Ren was noncommittal.
He is of a higher rank and can see her strength. She is a fifth-level thousand phantom warrior, with a domain level of 22 and a level 20 "Innocent Holy Body" (auxiliary in Demon Slaying Technique).
The geniuses of the younger generation are basically at this level now.
He seems to be much worse than Rennes, but if he slacks off, he may still be overtaken.
Because now is the "wave period".
For at least the next hundred years, the Force in the air will be very active and the content will be very high, three to four times or more than during the "equilibrium period".
This means that during the wave period, the cultivation speed of extraordinary people will be almost three or four times faster than before.
Anyone who gets stuck in a bottleneck may be caught up by latecomers.
Moreover, some of the strategic resources that major forces such as the Church of Light, Steam Alliance, and Demon Hunter Association have reserved over the past few hundred years will be exhausted in just a few decades at the beginning of the wave period, thus spawning more powerful forces.
To deal with the challenge of demon descendants
In such an era, strong people will spring up like mushrooms after a rain, chasing each other.
Anyone who slacks off or is stuck by a bottleneck may soon fall behind.
Compared to geniuses such as Princess Sophie, Michelle from the Church, and Alfred from the Steam Alliance, Renne currently has a huge advantage.
But he still couldn't slack off.
Because his own cultivation talent is not better than these people, he just has special opportunities.
Veronica looked back at Sophie's graceful back and asked curiously:
"Do you have any conflicts with Princess Sophie?"
Although I couldn't hear clearly what Viscount Ackermann and the princess said, I felt they were full of gunpowder.
Ren glanced at the female knight lightly and said, "It's none of your business, just lead the way."
"..."
Veronica was at a loss for words and did not dare to talk back. She honestly continued to lead the way.
The interior of the Red Dragon Palace is very grand. The interior decoration and furniture are deeply influenced by the style of the late Old Sun Dynasty. It is very luxurious. The roof is covered with large murals reflecting epic legends and wars. The ornaments on display are priceless regardless of cost.
Especially the long, extremely gorgeous mirror corridor, shocked Ren's retina.
It is more than 200 meters long, 12 meters high and 10.5 meters wide. One side of the corridor is 36 huge arched floor-to-ceiling glass windows facing the garden, and the other side is inlaid with 36 mirrors symmetrical to the arched windows. These mirrors are made of 900 lenses.
It consists of 48 huge crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. The furniture in the mirror gallery and the flower and bonsai decorations are also made of sterling silver.
These glass curtain walls, crystal mirrors, and gorgeous crystal chandeliers create a dreamy wonderland.
"Nah, you're a big dog." Ren's eyes became hot and he cursed in a low voice.
Suddenly I feel like a poor person again. This feeling is really terrible.
Veronica took Ren through various landscapes and palaces, all the way to the central garden.
This large garden designed by Robert, the architect of the Natural School, covers an area of about 2 million square meters (1000x2000 meters). The radial boulevards and paths are dotted with pavilions, branches and forest glades.
There are also various decorative steps, houses, huge pools and fountains.
It is said that gardeners plant 300,000 flowering plants every year, and there are 2,000 trees in the greenhouse, including ordinary plants, orange trees, pomegranate trees, cupid trees, oleanders, as well as exotic flowers and herbs, moon spirit vines, and dragon hearts.
Wood, gold pattern mandala...
The more Ren looked, the more silent he became.
The grandeur and luxury of the Red Dragon Palace constantly reminded him that his rank was not high enough.
This is where the big guys live.
Ren met the king and queen at the stone table next to the flower stand in the garden, surrounded by some guards and maids.
It was common practice for kings to receive guests in their gardens. In fact, many palaces were only used a few times a year.
Renn looked at the queen first.
Queen Katie has an extremely delicate face, a straight nose, pupils as flawless as emeralds, sexy and attractive light red lips, eyebrows like willow leaves, slanting straight into the temples, a snow-white neck, earlobes and hair.
Various diamond and jewelry pendants, elegant and luxurious.
She had the right kind of dignified smile on her face, but her eyes were a little cold and distant, revealing the majesty and arrogance of having been in a high position for a long time.
'Tsk tsk, she is indeed a top-notch beauty. No wonder she can charm the king and become the queen unexpectedly.'
Ren was slightly stunned by the queen's appearance.
As for the king…
Sorry, I was ignored by him.
Of course, when there is a beautiful woman, he will look at her first. This is the nature of men.
Charles VI had black hair and black eyes, and was handsome. He wore the best and most expensive silks, and his tunics were all made of velvet, which looked good.
Unlike his wife, who pretends to be friendly, his aura is not too majestic and a bit elegant.
This may be because he is a manager and his status in the Clement family is not high. After all, he is too weak...
Renn saw the king's strength at a glance.
He is a [Knight] professional, at the peak of the master level. He has a silver torch-like fighting spirit in his body. He is estimated to be at level 14 to 15.
To be honest, not as good as Leon.
Of course, the king also practiced the path of totem, which should be the "Dragon Seal Holy Body". Most of his body is glowing with a red and wild force.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But it has not reached the level of being completely integrated and free of dirt and leaks, which proves that it is only the peak of the fourth level.
It’s really a la carte.
It would be better to say that Queen Katie’s strength is somewhat impressive...
"Your Majesty, good morning."
The king is a king, but the Clement family is very powerful. As the spokesperson of the royal family, Charles VI still needs to show some respect.
Renn walked over steadily, put his right hand on his chest, and bowed slightly.
This is a salute, very simple.
This has nothing to do with title. He is a fifth-level saint. A saint does not need to kneel to anyone. Even when meeting the Pope, he only needs to bow.
Of course, if you want to show the highest respect, you can also kneel down on one knee.
Even so, usually only the Pope, Speaker and other powerful kings can accept the great ceremony from other saints.
Charles VI was far from qualified, and his uncle Charlemagne was about the same.
"Hello, Her Royal Highness the Queen."
Ren walked up to Queen Katie again, took her little white-skinned hand, and kissed the back of her hand gently.
This is a courtesy to the queen.
Generally, you must do this when you meet her for the first time. Whether you do this in the future depends on whether the queen likes you or not.
Regardless of whether he was responsible for killing his father or not, at least Ren was impeccable in his etiquette.
We are all respectable people, so we need to be graceful. No matter whether we want to tear each other into pieces privately, we still have to smile in public.
For example, Queen Katie, when Ren kissed the back of her hand, her hand trembled slightly, but the smile on her face remained, and in her heart...
...MMP, I feel tired for a while.
She really wanted to slap him in the face, but she held back.
When Ren retracted his hand, his fingers were still gently making a half-circle on the queen's palm. The speed was too fast for the king and the guards to notice.
This is a unique hint in a high-society banquet, which roughly means - baby, come to my room tonight.
Of course, Ren was not trying to have an affair with Queen Katie, he was just humiliating her and provoking her.
Queen Katie's eyes were stunned for a moment, her expression remained unchanged, and she retracted her hand normally, but there was a trace of anger and murderous intent in her eyes.
This bastard, for doing such a little thing on this occasion, was almost equivalent to calling her a bitch and a slut.
Queen Katie's chest rose and fell slightly, but she finally held it back. Before the king could speak, she said with a faint smile on her pretty face:
"Sir Ackerman, it's not easy to meet you."
This meeting was full of intrigue from the beginning.
