Working Prophet

Intelligence Chief Ivan has served three imperial emperors and has the privilege of entering and exiting King's Landing Tower at will.

When the Wettin family launched a palace coup, it was Ivan who learned the news in advance and reported it to Edward II overnight, which allowed Edward II to easily defeat the rebellion against him.

Ivan would also attend the weekly royal meetings on time. He could no longer remember how many times he had climbed the stone steps carved with lion patterns outside the door.

However, when he came here again, those stone steps were still there, but the magnificent castle above had disappeared and was reduced to ruins.

And on the ruins, there was still a huge creature crawling.

It has a huge body, and its head alone is as big as half a tavern. Its whole body is covered with red scales, glowing with a metallic luster in the sunset.

The desperate Imperial Guardsmen shot thousands of arrows at it, but they didn't leave even a small mark.

Yiwang now stood in front of this terrifying monster, feeling the strong pressure coming from his face, and his calves were trembling slightly.

When the news about the dragon-slaying deeds of the little lord from the Western Region reached the royal capital, it soon became the talk of people here after dinner.

However, both nobles and commoners only regarded this as a novel and interesting story, just like a certain noble had found a new mistress.

The giant dragons have been extinct on the continent of Bratis for nearly three thousand years, and people have long forgotten how powerful and terrifying they are.

Even Edward II, who was most optimistic about Ilea, probably didn't fully realize what a feat this was.

The former emperor of the empire only regarded the dragon as a particularly powerful prey, not fundamentally different from other beasts he had hunted.

Edward II even regretted not being able to fight a giant dragon to prove his bravery.

Perhaps only by seeing these terrifying monsters with your own eyes can you understand that they are not prey at all. On the contrary, all creatures on this continent are their prey.

Ivan didn't understand how the little noble named Ilea killed a dragon.

But now was not the time to think about such things. Iwang withdrew his gaze from the dragon and shifted it to the other figure in front of it.

The man had white hair, even the hair on his neck was white, but there was a pair of gray wings growing on his back.

He is very tall, and his wings are much wider than those of ordinary Wing tribesmen.

From the intelligence collected previously, Yiwang learned that the name of this Wing Tribe man was Solomon, and he was the commander-in-chief of this Wing Tribe army.

So the intelligence chief bowed slightly and saluted him, "Dear Lord Solomon, congratulations to you and your warriors for conquering the first fortified city on the continent of Bratis.

"You came to me probably to inquire about the whereabouts of... Gars."

A smaller wing tribesman next to Solomon translated Iwang's words to him.

Solomon then raised his head to look at the intelligence manager at the foot of the stone steps, and softly uttered two words from his mouth.

"Kneel down."

Solomon used the common language of the mainland, so Iwang could understand without the need for a translator. There was a look of astonishment on his face.

Because in the Red Lion Empire, except when knights are awarded the title, it is rarely necessary to kneel down, even when facing the emperor.

But Yiwang did not forget his current identity. After a brief moment of shock, he simply knelt down on one knee.

A look of satisfaction appeared on Solomon's face, "The conquered should behave like the conquered."

After a pause, he continued, "I heard that you are a close confidant of the emperor."

"Gaers really trusts me because I have been serving the royal family for almost a hundred years." Ivan said respectfully.

"Then shouldn't you stay with him now and accompany him through the last part of the journey? I heard that there is something called chivalry on your continent, which is very highly respected by people here."

"I'm not a knight," Yvonne said, "and besides dying, I have more important things to do."

Solomon raised his eyebrows, "So it was Gars who asked you to come see me."

Ivan sighed, "You won this battle and conquered this great city, but if you want to rule it, I mean really rule it, not just burn, kill and loot, You may need to show a little kindness in addition to your martial prowess.”

"How do you know I'm not here to rob?" Solomon asked.

"Because bandits will not choose the strongest fortress to attack. I don't know where your hometown is for you and your warriors, but it will not be easy to cross the ocean to get here.

"You probably don't just want to grab some gold and silver and leave."

Solomon was noncommittal, "Gars wants me to spare him?"

"No, Garth knows that you will never let him go no matter what." Ivan shook his head, "So he doesn't expect to live."

"Then it seems that he is not completely stupid." Solomon said lightly.

"Garth just wants you to give him a death worthy of his status."

"What is a death worthy of his status?"

"Gars hopes to challenge you, one-on-one, without helpers. If you are willing to agree to it, then he is also willing to come out of his hiding place."

"Or I can have people torture you directly." Solomon said, "Let me see how loyal you are to the family you have served for a hundred years."

"Oh, I don't have such confidence in myself, so I didn't know where Gars was hiding before I came here." Ivan said.

"The Vespasian family has ruled this land for nearly a thousand years. Their ancestors built this city. Of course, after you conquer this city, there will be many people like me who are afraid of death and will come. Allegiance to you.

"I beg you for forgiveness, but there are also many people here who will still open their doors to Gars. You may eventually be able to find him, but it will not be an easy task.

"It might take a month or two, so... why not take the easier route?"

Solomon was finally a little moved, "Gars knows that he can't be my opponent, right? The terrestrial species are inherently meaner than the sky species. Even if he is your emperor, he has no chance of winning against me."

"Of course he knows this. As I said before, Garth just hopes to get a death worthy of his status."

After Iman finished speaking, he saw Solomon and his deputy discussing something in a low voice. After a while, Solomon spoke again.

"Tell your emperor to come here tomorrow morning as the sun rises, and I will give him what he wants."
