"By the way, young man, I'd better call you Zhang Yunfeng!" Austin said with a faint smile; "Zhang Yunfeng, although President Baroque Hui assured me that you are from our Rockwell Empire, I can't send you the name Zhang Yunfeng."
We have so few people, but we still can't find out where the small mountain village you told Dean Baroque and the others is. Can you tell me where you are from, and who is the old man who taught you magic?
"
Austin's words sounded like a greeting from a relative, and coupled with his kind smile, it was easy for people to like him, let down their guard, and unconsciously reveal their inner secrets.
"I am ashamed to be called Your Majesty." Zhang Yunfeng said immediately, "Flattered". Although Austin's performance was very good, most people would probably be fooled by him and unknowingly take out his words. Unfortunately, what he encountered was
Zhang Yunfeng, a time traveler with a strong will and a cheating device, has a super auxiliary cheating device called Xiao Jiujiu. Austin's acting skills are simply ineffective. Of course, in order to confuse Austin, he still tried his best to show a tricked expression.
"But I don't know exactly where the small mountain village where I lived was. Because the people in our village are isolated from the world, almost no outsiders enter. The only outsider who enters our mountain village is my master. But
My master is an old man who is usually taciturn. Apart from teaching me magic, he has never told me anything else, so I don’t know where the small mountain village I live is. Even the identity of my master, I
I don't know even more." Zhang Yunfeng looked at Austin without blinking, his face full of sincerity, and he said slowly. His eyes were like seeing the person he trusted most, and he wished he could share all his secrets.
Tell him he knows.
Zhang Yunfeng's acting skills were at the level of a master. Even Austin, an emperor who had seen the world, couldn't help but believe his words, with a look of disappointment flashing in his eyes.
Although the disappointment in Austin's eyes was well hidden and difficult for ordinary people to detect, it was still caught by Zhang Yunfeng, who had a very sensitive spiritual sense. He said to himself, "If you want to find out my background, there is no way, and only fools will follow."
Tell the truth. Hum! It seems that you are quite strict about my origins and have sent many people out. You, the emperor, can say the word "many people". I'm afraid there are only eight people if not a thousand.
Hundred, then you keep looking! Anyway, it's just the resources of your empire. It has nothing to do with me. I just pity the children who are responsible for the search. They go to a place that doesn't exist at all. Even if they find it,
We may not be able to find them on the day they die. Hey! Let’s mourn for those poor children!”
"Then how did you encounter the green-scaled python and kill it?" Austin continued; "I have already detected your strength. Although you are a magician, I can still roughly detect you.
The strength. You are currently at the level of a seventh-level junior magister. It is impossible to kill a ninth-level green-scaled python with your own strength. I am very curious about what method you use, with the cultivation level of a junior magister,
Kill a level nine monster that is two levels higher than you?"
As he said that, he looked at Zhang Yunfeng, waiting for Zhang Yunfeng's reply. It must be said that Zhang Yunfeng's disguise ability was so strong that even Austin, a saint-level master, could not find out his hidden strength, so he
Misjudged the fact that he was a junior magister.
But not only Austin, but also the ministers looked at Zhang Yunfeng with expressions of confusion. After all, if they are not interested in the method that allows a junior magician to kill a super monster like the Green Scaled Python, no one will tell them.
believe.
No, all those ministers cheered up, raised their ears, raised their hearing to the highest level, and listened carefully, lest they miss what Zhang Yunfeng said.
"I used a magic scroll!" Looking at Austin and the ministers, Zhang Yunfeng smiled and finally revealed his method.
"Magic scroll?" Austin said.
"Yes, it's the magic scroll." Zhang Yunfeng said with confidence; "At that time, the master used the magic circle to teleport me to the Forest of Despair. As a result, I was so unlucky to meet a green-scaled python. If I had
If it weren't for the magic scroll that my master left for me to protect myself, I might have been swallowed by the green-scaled python and become my lunch."
"So, the magic scroll your master gave you to protect you is a holy-level magic scroll? Is that right?" Austin's eyes lit up and he immediately asked. For a holy-level magic scroll, it is Austin, the king of a country.
, is also very jealous. After all, holy-level magic scrolls are so rare and precious that even their Rockwell Empire doesn’t have many of them.
"Yes, the scroll that the master left for me is the 'Dimensional Blade' of the wind element of the holy-level attack scroll. President Baroque can also prove that the fatal injury on the green-scaled python was caused by the 'Dimensional Blade'.
"Zhang Yunfeng casually made up an excuse for how to obtain the green-scaled python, and also involved Baroque, the president of the mercenary union, as a shield.
But Austin had no intention of delving into whether Zhang Yunfeng used the magic scroll of 'Dimensional Blade' to kill the green-scaled python. He asked with a hopeful tone; "Then you still have holy-level magic in your body."
Scroll?"
"No!" Zhang Yunfeng spread his hands and shook his head. "Precious magic scrolls like holy magic scrolls are rare in the mainland. Master, it would be great if he can give me a self-defense. How can there be a second one?"
Give me a holy magic scroll!"
Austin thought about it and felt that what Zhang Yunfeng said made sense. Even their empire with a history of thousands of years didn't have many precious magic items like holy magic scrolls. How could that master Zhang Yunfeng be able to use them for so many times?
Where? So he gave up the idea of getting the holy magic scroll from Zhang Yunfeng, and couldn't help but have a look of disappointment on his face.
However, Austin, the emperor, had a very strong mental endurance. He recovered from the Holy Magic Scroll matter in no time, and with a smile that remained unchanged on his face, he said loudly, "Zhang Yunfeng stepped forward to listen to the seal.
!”
When he heard about the reward, even though Zhang Yunfeng felt unhappy with the emperor of Austria, he still knelt down on one knee and performed a standard etiquette.
Austin said loudly: "Zhang Yunfeng worked hard to find a good medicine for poisoning the sixth princess of the empire, Andile."
"Reward...five hundred thousand gold coins"
"Reward... the title of earl..."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhang Yunfeng said neither humble nor overbearing. He put his right hand on his chest, made an aristocratic gesture of gratitude, and then stood up from the ground.
"Young man, you are welcome to become a glorious noble. On behalf of the nobles of Rockwell, I welcome you to join our circle!"
"Earl Zhang, you are really young and promising! You are already an earl at a young age, and you have a bright future. My daughter is about to reach adulthood this year and is not yet married. I wonder if Earl Zhang is willing to form a good match."
"Earl Zhang, don't listen to him. His daughter is so ugly. She is still my little girl. She is sixteen years old and as beautiful as a flower. Anyone who comes to propose marriage will trample on the door frame of my house.
, I didn’t even agree. I think Earl Zhang’s talent is definitely a perfect match for my little girl. Why don’t you come to my house later to talk about it?”
As soon as Zhang Yunfeng stood up, he was immediately surrounded by ministers in the hall, and those ministers were trying their best to sell their granddaughters, daughters, and nieces in front of him. Zhang Yunfeng's head was as big as an ox.
He had seen many such fortunes in novels before, and he was often envious of them. But when such good fortune hit him without any warning, he was left in a state of confusion.
, dizzy.
"Cough! Cough!"
At this moment, a small clearing cough suddenly sounded in the meeting hall.
Although the sound of the cough was not very loud, the ministers present heard it clearly. They were all startled and jumped away from Zhang Yunfeng and quickly sat back to their original positions.
That speed is beyond the reach of even the Formula 11 racing car, and probably only the speed of a Scud missile can rival it.
After the ministers sat back down, they all immediately turned their eyes to the throne in the middle of the hall. They could all hear clearly that those coughs just now really came from their Majesty Ostia.
On the throne, Austin looked at the ministers below with a sullen face and said, "Look at how decent you looked just now. Are you still the nobles of our empire?"
After being shouted at by Austin, all the ministers were frightened and did not dare to say another word.
Looking at the expressions of those ministers, Austin snorted coldly, then turned his attention to Zhang Yunfeng, a smile quickly appeared on his face, and said, "Zhang Yunfeng, since you have completed the task I issued, in addition to what you just said
In addition to those rewards, I also allow you to make a promise within my ability. How about, what do you exchange for this promise of mine?"
As soon as Austin said these words, the entire meeting hall suddenly fell into silence. Everyone's eyes were on Zhang Yunfeng. His eyes were unblinking and very nervous.
The reason why they wanted to win over Zhang Yunfeng just now, even at the expense of the noble daughter of the family, was not because of Zhang Yunfeng's potential, but because of His Majesty Austin's promise. If Zhang Yunfeng used this promise now, then what Zhang Yunfeng would do to them
The value will plummet.
Facing the gazes of Austin and the ministers in the hall, Zhang Yunfeng took a deep breath and said word for word: "Miss Milia of the Celta family and I fell in love at first sight, and we have been privately engaged for life. But because of Milia
She is still married to His Highness the Crown Prince Sacra, so Miss Miliya does not dare to agree to my proposal. I beg Your Majesty to take back the engagement between Miliya and His Highness the Prince."
As soon as Zhang Yunfeng said these words, there was a loud gasp of air-conditioning in the conference hall, and then the entire conference hall fell into an air-like silence. The ministers did not even dare to take a deep breath, and no one dared to speak again.
