Lord of Plenty

Chapter 144 King Walder

The next morning, when it was still light, the Grand Arena was surrounded by the residents of the capital who had heard the news and swarmed there.

Even the standing tickets were sold out. In fact, most of the people standing on the platform were well-dressed and did not look like ordinary civilians at all.

You could even see a few men, women and children in noble clothing.

The stands for the nobles had been sold at sky-high prices, and the nobles with insufficient status were excluded and did not even have the qualifications to compete.

Today was the last battle of the Alchemy Golem in the Grand Arena of the Capital. The King of Altria would gamble with Her Royal Highness the Princess for the last round, and the stakes were even more shocking.

The stakes were a huge amount of gold coins that could buy several cities and Her Royal Highness the Princess herself!

At that time, even His Majesty the King and all the officials would attend in their best attire, which would be both a formal farewell ceremony for the visit of the King of a neighboring country and a joint witness of the gamble.

After the standing seats and ordinary seats were entered, the nobles, officials, and their families who were invited to attend the farewell ceremony also entered and took their seats one by one.

In the noble stand area, there is naturally an area belonging to the Alan family. Marquis Lawrence, who had been living in the Knight Camp and disappeared for the past two days, also appeared here with his four sons today.

Kun's father, Marquis Lawrence, was born with a rough square face and fiery red hair that was only one finger long. He looked cold, capable, and handsome.

When the five little giants of the Alan family gathered together, you could feel a strong sense of oppression at a glance, which was suffocating.

But soon, the Marquis was summoned to the Queen's area.

After all, he is a strong man in the capital, and the magic saint from the neighboring country will also come here soon. More strength means more protection.

Strength should be displayed to deter, instead of waiting for everyone to die and then complaining that hiding your incompetence has made you look like a pig.

That's really stupid.

Besides, Dansu is the weaker party, and we need to let the other party know that if you dare to act rashly, you will definitely pay an unbearable price!

"Please sit down, Your Majesty Walder!"

"Your Majesty Ophir, please go first."

After a warm refusal, the king of Dansu, Ophir Johnson Thorn, sat down first, and the officials behind him also sat down one by one.

"Why is Her Majesty Valentina not here?"

"The teacher is packing up her things and will be here soon." Walder laughed.

In fact, Valentina doesn't like such crowded occasions. Packing up her things has always been her excuse for not participating in these troublesome social interactions.

It is estimated that when this is done, his elusive teacher will show up.

Ophir nodded and did not continue to ask. It would be best if Her Majesty did not come.

Being so close to a magic saint, or a magic saint from an enemy country, is not very friendly to the heart.

Unfortunately, the royal family's saint inheritance has long been broken, and no one can open that door to receive the inheritance.

It is necessary to wait until the next royal saint appears before the inheritance can be continued.

And this wait lasted for more than three hundred years.

Sure enough, the royal family's divine bloodline has been lost in this few years. Has it been diluted to the point where it cannot be revived again after a thousand years? Alas!

Behind the two kings stood two princes.

The second prince was about thirty years old, with a beard, and looked like a cut from the same mold as King Orphir.

In fact, in the royal family, the one who looked most like Orphir was his eldest son.

He admired and was most satisfied with this eldest son, and he said more than once in front of the ministers that he would pass the throne to his eldest son a hundred years later.

However, after the eldest prince accidentally fell off his horse and died, the smile on the face of the old king Orphir became much less.

He never mentioned who the heir of the kingdom was in his mind, and let the princes fight over it.

Instead, he doted on his youngest daughter, Catherine, and let her do whatever she wanted.

Unfortunately, she was born in a poor family. For the royal family, you still need to make sacrifices for this country.

Sorry, kid.

Before Walder came, he didn't understand why a king of an enemy country would choose to visit Dansu at such a sensitive time when the two countries were constantly at odds.

However, during this period of getting along and confronting, although they never said it, the two sides had already had some tacit understanding.

Artoria, no, to be precise, he, the king of Artoria, didn't want to fight this war!

However, Artoria is a country where all people believe in religion, and the Church of Light can even influence the dethronement of the king.

So even if he doesn't want to fight this war, the people brainwashed by the Church will force him to fight.

And he has to fight.

Because in their eyes, this is a just and sacred war, and even if he dies, he will be taken back to Him by the merciful God. 's kingdom, so they are not afraid of sacrifice and are fearless.

But as the king of Altoli, he could not accept such a result. His subjects shed blood and tears, and all the benefits were taken away by the Church, leaving him with an unsolvable mess.

So the real purpose of his visit to the capital of Dansu this time was not to come here from afar to show off his power, but to find a reason.

A reason that can prevent the two countries from going to war!

But it is not easy to make the subjects and the Church give up this conquest plan. It must be an absolutely legitimate reason that no one can refute.

This reason can be that the other party is extremely powerful, and starting a war at will is equivalent to self-destruction.

Unfortunately, he only sent out an alchemical puppet, and no one in Dansu responded to the battle, so this reason naturally did not hold.

So he could only find another reason.

"Where's Catherine?"

It wasn't until King Ophir asked that everyone realized that Her Highness Catherine, another important protagonist today, was missing.

How can this scene go on without the protagonist being present?

Third Prince Lasati said quickly:

"Father, don't worry, I will send someone to find your sister."

As the planner and executor of this plan, his implication is that even if he is kidnapped, he must kidnap the person back.

After a slight hesitation, King Ofir nodded and said:

“Go, go and come back quickly.

Well, why is it so noisy? "

A burst of warm cheers suddenly erupted in the arena. Following everyone's gaze, they saw a group of people striding towards the Queen's area stand in the corridor behind the auditorium.

The audience cheered because Princess Catherine actually appeared in the Colosseum.

In other words, she agreed to this huge gamble that could even be said to be related to the national destiny of the two countries. How could it not be exciting and exciting?

Then they saw Sword Master Dawn following closely behind him. Sword Master seemed to be almost healed from his injuries.

Could it be that he was the back-up plan prepared by Her Royal Highness the Princess, and that Sword Master Daun was preparing to avenge his shame and challenge the alchemy devil again?

But who is the young man walking in the front side by side with the princess? He is wearing a fiery red mage robe. Isn't that a high-level mage robe that only an archmage can wear?

But even if he is an Archmage, there is no reason to go in front of the Sword Master?

Two players, Xia Xingtu and Xu Niangniang, followed silently, but Bai Lang was nowhere to be seen.

"It turns out that he is the youngest son of the Alan family, the viscount who was sworn by the Sword Master Daun. If I had known, I should have chatted with him for a while when we met yesterday."

Walder looked regretful.

This is not an act, but Walder really feels sorry for him.

Saints are rarer than kings, and there are very few kings who can command the allegiance of saints, let alone a small viscount.

It seems that he became a disciple of the legendary alchemist Valentina, and thus successfully inherited the throne of Arturia.

It was also because of this that he, the young king, was able to gain such great freedom.

Greater freedom than any king in the history of Arturia!

However, worshiping a saint and gaining the allegiance of a saint are two completely different concepts.

Anyway, he couldn't imagine the scene of Valentina surrendering to him.

It can be said that he swore allegiance to Dao En after he learned that the sword master was promoted to a saint.

He was astonished and extremely curious about this mysterious Viscount.

What kind of charisma does it take to convince a saint? I heard that he is only sixteen years old this year and has just reached adulthood.

Wald even wanted to learn from him for a time and exchange experiences on getting along with the saint.

However, after hearing that he had gone to the northernmost part of Dansu to become a lord and was not in the royal capital, Wald sighed once.

Unexpectedly, before he left, he would meet the person he was most curious about and wanted to see the most in Dansu.

It's just a pity that I no longer have the opportunity to talk to him in detail all night long.

By the way, I would like to point out that these saints are really not human beings.

Tsk, what a pity.

Catherine came to the two kings, bowed, and said with a smile:

"Good day, father, Your Majesty Walder."

Kun, who was following behind, just touched his chest with one hand and nodded slightly.

He is wearing the robe of an archmage today. A high-level mage does not have to bow to the king of any country when he sees him.

Even the Pope, who represents the gods and governs the believers on earth, is not qualified to make a high-level mage bend his knees.

Noticing several glances with strong scrutiny coming from the opposite side, Kun Quan ignored them and just stood quietly next to Catherine, acting as a backdrop.

Walder smiled and said:

"I wonder who Her Highness Catherine is going to send to challenge today, the other ring masters in the arena, or the Sword Master Daun who is almost healed from his injuries?"

"my daughter."

Offill said with a kind face:

"I heard about your bet with His Majesty Walder. The thorns will remember your courage and dedication.

I and all my subjects will be here to witness all this for you, so do it with confidence and boldness.

You just need to remember one thing, Dansu will always be your backing and your home. "

"I understand, Father."

Catherine nodded solemnly.

But she couldn't help but think of what Kun said to her yesterday.

"It seems that I have to choose another partner, but when you marry to Artoria, our business can easily expand abroad, so it won't be a loss."

Catherine was speechless.

What a ruthless little Yalan, I am not important at all, right?

You only have money in your eyes, not me!
