Red Dragon Emperor

Jose stepped out of the carriage and saw the eldest prince of Dana, Charaman, who was saluting. He nodded slightly: "Your Highness, please get up."

Only then did the eldest prince Dana straighten his waist, and with a warm smile on his face, he quickly stepped forward and made friends with the imperial envoy.

Jose didn't bother to talk to him.

To be honest, if it weren't for Tedanol's diplomatic etiquette, the highest etiquette would be for the visiting envoy from another country to walk down the red carpet and step into the palace with the host, and he wouldn't even want to get out of the carriage.

The eldest prince was not an idiot. He noticed that the imperial envoy was not interested in talking, so he consciously shut up after saying a few scenes.

After Jose got out of the carriage, the rest of the people also got out of the carriage, and under the guidance of the eldest prince and others, they stepped onto the red carpet leading to the palace.

boom! boom! boom!

The moment the team entered the city, there were thirteen gun salutes on the tower.

This is the highest etiquette for welcoming foreign envoys.

According to the regulations, when foreign envoys visit friendly countries, the first thing is to visit the local king in the palace, and then it depends on their own arrangements.

The people of Winter Castle lined the road to welcome (watching the excitement), Jose and the eldest prince walked in front of the procession, followed by a mighty crowd.

The eldest prince fulfilled his duty as the host, explaining the customs and customs of the Dana Kingdom to the imperial envoys along the way.

Along the way, Jose also figured out the background of the eldest prince. He is a high-ranking soldier, and he has no abnormal aura on him.

Of course, the lack of abnormal aura does not mean that the suspicion of the eldest prince being related to the [Spiritual Sect] is completely ruled out. He may have a deal with the [Spiritual Sect], or even a member of the [Spiritual Sect], but he did not use the [Spiritual Sect] ]’s treasures and practice methods.

As for the treasures that hide their breath, Jose doesn't think there are any treasures that can hide from his perception. Dragons have a natural intuition for treasures, just like cats can smell fish.

"Master Messenger, the palace is here," the eldest prince said very humbly.

Along the way, he also figured out the strength of the imperial envoy, and understood that the dragon man beside him was a rare legendary mage.

The status of a legendary mage alone is enough to make King Dana three points of comity, not to mention that the dragon man is also the special envoy of the overlord force in the North - the Forsyth Empire.

As soon as he thought of this, the trace of resentment that the dragon man ignored him disappeared in his heart.

Jose and his party stepped on the red carpet and entered the palace amidst the music of the King of Dana's royal band.

Of course, not everyone is eligible to enter the hall to meet the king, and the soldiers were specially arranged to pick up the dust in other places.

The four legendary powerhouses followed Jose, and under the guidance of the eldest prince, they entered the inner hall and met King Dana who had been preparing for a long time.

Standing in the main hall, Jose looked up at the king on the throne, and saw that the king's hair was all white, his face was slack, and he looked old, but he was majestic, his back was straight, and he looked dignified, but he didn't lose any of it. The prestige of the lord of the country.

As a visitor, saluting to the host is the most basic etiquette, and Jose has no intention of challenging this etiquette.

He covered his heart with one hand: "Good day, Your Majesty the King, His Majesty the Emperor of the Forsyth Empire asked me to bring you sincere greetings."

Naturally, King Dana would not take these scenes seriously. Who is the emperor of the Forsyth Empire? !

That was one of the few people who stood at the top of Tidanol. Even the kings of the powerful kingdoms in the south couldn't get into the eyes of the emperor of the empire, let alone him, the king of a small barren country attached to the empire.

The Kingdom of Dana stood up while leaning on the armrest of the throne, and also covered its heart with one hand to show respect: "Your Excellency, please convey to Your Majesty on my behalf that the Kingdom of Dana expresses its sincere respect and most sincere gratitude to His Majesty the Emperor."

"Well," Jose nodded. King Dana was the king who surrendered to the empire and let the kingdom of Dana belong to the empire.

Not only did the Emperor of the Empire spare the Kingdom of Dana, but the Kingdom of Dana also gained commercial benefits after being attached to the empire, and his sincere gratitude is justified.

While the two were talking, an envoy had already brought chairs, and there were five chairs in total.

Jose and other five imperial envoys sat down, while the eldest prince stood on the side of the throne, listening with his hands down.

The eldest prince was not dissatisfied with his lack of a seat. After all, the envoys of the Five Great Empires were not only the envoys of the Forsyth Empire, but they were also legendary powerhouses, and their status was not lower than that of this prince. Only after he inherited the throne could he and the legendary The strong are peers.

After some scenes.

Jose cut to the chase: "Your Majesty, the purpose of our trip is to investigate [Spiritualism]."

"[Psychic sect]? Wasn't this cult wiped out by [Windtalker Alliance]?" The eldest prince was curious and listened attentively.

The old king was also puzzled: "Your Excellency, the [Spiritual Sect] was wiped out by the [Windtalker Alliance] a few years ago?"

"It just suppressed the [Spiritual Sect], and it can't be said to be exterminated."

Jose didn't want to get entangled in this issue, and directly stated his purpose: "On the way here, I found a remnant of [Spiritual Sect], and this person is also connected with the royal family of Dana. His name is Baker, Kitz Joyce, often has special merchandise for the children of your royal family."

"There is such a thing!" The old king was shocked and shocked.

The old fox who had lived for most of his life immediately understood the purpose of the imperial envoy, and he quickly expressed his position: "Don't worry, Your Excellency, the Dana royal family has always followed His Majesty's teachings and dare not have any second thoughts about the empire. Sect] This cult has connections.”

"I also believe that with His Majesty's ability, he will not do things such as colluding with cults and destroying the foundation of the country."

Jose changed his voice: "However, [Spiritual Sect] is a cult that possesses a lot of insidious and evil magic. I am worried that the children of your royal family will not notice it for a while, and plant [Spiritual Sect] tricks without knowing it."

"Just in case, please His Majesty the King gather the children of the royal family who have been in contact with Becketts in the past, and let me check their bodies."

The old king of Dana immediately understood that the physical examination was just a step down for himself. In fact, it was to check whether the children of the royal family of Dana had colluded with [Spiritual sect].

But he had to go down the steps given by the imperial envoy.

For one thing, if you don't cooperate with the imperial envoy, wouldn't you be guilty of a guilty conscience and admit that the royal family of Dana has a connection with [Spiritual sect] without asking yourself.

Secondly, the Fussey Empire is powerful, and the Dana Kingdom is like a cloud and mud compared with it. Even if the imperial envoys don't give them a step, they come directly to force, and the Dana Kingdom has nothing to do.

Naturally, the old king would not toast and refuse to eat fine wine, so he immediately called the waiter outside the door and asked the waiter to summon the prince and grandson.

After the envoy left, the old king put his mouth close to the ear of the eldest prince Charamagne, and Charamagne nodded and retreated.

When the old king did this, he didn't hide the five people behind his back, nor did he use magic to shield the conversation between himself and his son. Even if it was a whisper, he could hear it clearly with the legendary strength of the five people.

Including José, the five of them had a more or less favorable impression of the old king, because the old king ordered the eldest prince to go to the royal treasury to prepare gifts for the five.

"It's going to happen," Jose sighed inwardly.

Ordinary people would not show any good looks even if they did not turn their faces when they heard that someone suspected that their family was connected with a cult. However, the old King Dana asked his son to go down to prepare gifts.

There are quite a few princes and grandchildren of the Kingdom of Dana, some in the city and some in manors outside the city. It will take some time to gather all of them, so the old king asked the princes and grandchildren who arrived first to wait in the side hall.

After a while, the eldest prince came back, empty-handed, and winked at the old king on the throne.

The old king understood, looked at the imperial envoy - José, with a smile on his face: "Your Excellency, the envoy, is concerned. He has prepared a small gift for my children and grandchildren, and please don't decline the envoy."

Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!

After speaking, he clapped his hands.

Five waiters who had been prepared outside the door filed in one after another. The waiters carried trays in their hands. On the tray was a piece of red cloth. On the red cloth were the gifts that the eldest prince had carefully selected for the imperial envoys when he went to the royal treasury. .

Five waiters stood in front of the five legendary powerhouses, presenting gifts obediently.

Jose glanced at it, the gift chosen by the eldest prince was not particularly precious to the legendary powerhouse, but it was by no means something lightly taken.

Given the strength of the Kingdom of Dana, it can be said that they took great care to produce these treasures.

However, the gift presented to José, the ambassador of the empire, was much more precious than others, and Edith Faucester, an elf who was used to seeing treasures, couldn't help but take a second look.

This is a cyan fruit specially sealed in a crystal box, and the cyan fruit is called Sky Green Fruit.

Although it is only an unprocessed magic material, the Azure Fruit is very precious, and its value even surpasses that of ordinary legendary potions. This is because Azure Fruit is one of the materials used to make life-extending potions, and it has always been priceless.

Sending out these treasures, the old king also felt some pain in his flesh, so he simply turned his heart away and stopped looking at Tianqingguo.

The eldest prince was also full of admiration for his father. You must know that this Tianqing fruit was a life-extending treasure prepared by the old king for himself, but at this time he was giving the treasure to the imperial envoy for the future of the kingdom.

There is no way to send out the Azure Fruit.

The imperial envoys came to check [Spiritualism], and at this time they found out that they were on their own. If everyone acted impartially, it would be fine.

I am afraid that the imperial envoys will secretly interfere and link the Dana royal family with the cult. Once this happens, the Dana kingdom will have to shed a layer of skin even if it is not dead.

And although the azure fruit is a material for making life-prolonging potions, the Dana Kingdom couldn't gather the other materials, and it was dusty in the treasury, so it was simply given to the imperial envoy.

Instead of looking at the face of the monk, look at the face of the Buddha. For the sake of the precious gift of the azure fruit, the imperial envoys will not embarrass the Dana royal family.

What the old king didn't know was that, let alone a small azure fruit, even if he gave the entire Dana Kingdom to Jose, Jose would have no troubles in his heart.

Having said that, the benefits of being delivered to your door still have to be picked up.

"Your Majesty has a heart, so I will be disrespectful." Jose took the gift, and the joy on his face was not fake.

Seeing the smile on the face of the imperial envoy, the old king felt relieved.

After talking and laughing for a while, the princes and grandchildren finally gathered together.

In order to guard against the suspicion of the imperial envoy, the Dana royal family from the eldest prince in his thirties to the three-year-old grandson were all present.

Jose checked them one by one, but found no suspicious person.

The result of the inspection was all right, plus the fact that the Dana royal family has been actively cooperating, and perhaps because of the gift from the old king, most of the doubts about the Dana royal family dissipated.

Declining the old king's large-scale welcome party, Jose and the five accepted the old king's landlord's kindness and had dinner with him, and then returned to the reception arranged by the old king.

The magic crystal lamp illuminated the room brightly. Jose and other five legendary powerhouses gathered around the table to discuss today's trip to the palace. No one found anything suspicious.

After a while, news also came from [Red Dagger], the secret agent of the palace sent news, and no abnormality was found in Dana's royal family.

Everyone couldn't help sighing: "The clue is broken."

……………………………

On the other side, after Jose and his party left, the old King Dana also went to bed.

As early as a few years ago, Queen Dana returned to the embrace of God one step ahead of the old king, but the old king was already very old and did not have the mind and ability to accept the new princess, so the old king went to bed alone.

Lying on the bed, although the old king closed his eyes, he was not in the mood to fall asleep, and listened attentively to the movement outside the door.

On the grounds that he likes to be quiet, he refused all guards to guard the door, and allowed the guards to guard outside the courtyard.

In the dead of night, the old king suddenly opened his eyes, groped to get up from the bed, and without turning on the light, he touched a wall along a very familiar path and pressed the mechanism on the wall.

Silently, a dark secret room appeared on the wall.

This is a hidden treasure room.

After entering the treasure secret room, the old king turned off the mechanism, then took out the lighting equipment from his arms, activated another mechanism in the secret room, and a passage appeared in the treasure secret room.

That's right, the treasure chamber is just a cover, a cover for the secret passage.

Holding the magic pearl engraved with the light spell, the old king walked down the stairs all the way, and then walked sideways at the end. After walking for an unknown amount of time, he finally arrived at the destination.

There is no need to knock on the door, the door opens automatically, revealing the space behind the door.

This is a secret room the size of a basketball court. There are portals around the secret room, and there is obviously room behind the door.

At this time, in this secret room hidden in the deep underground of Dana King City, several people in black robes gathered together. They exuded powerful auras, at least all of them were masters, and there was even a legendary expert among them.

This place is the headquarters of [Spiritual Sect] in Dana Kingdom!

The old king looked embarrassed: "Because of your revealing feet, the Forsyth Empire has suspected me, and today I lost an azure fruit."

[Psychic sect] The legendary powerhouse spoke, his voice was piercing like a blade scraping through glass: "The organization will give you a life-extending potion to compensate for your loss."

Hearing this, the old king's complexion has improved a lot. Ever since he witnessed the death of his wife who accompanied him for half his life, he has developed a great fear of death, so much so that the [Spiritual Sect] came to him on the condition of eternal life, and he soon fell into a trap. .

The old king then asked: "What about the envoys of the Forsyth Empire, they are not easy to deal with!"

"I will restrain my subordinates and suspend all actions. After a while, they will leave without gaining anything."
