Lu Chen had nothing to say along the way, and Drake, who was worried about the assassin's problem, was silent.

The carriage drove into the palace without anyone reporting it. For security checks, Delake directly led Lu Chen into the king's study. It was not that he was too fussy, but that the assassin problem would cause various other possibilities, which were very serious. Take the simplest example. If the assassin is real, at least it means that there must be members of the Kaisting Empire royal family in this team, and the existence of this identity alone is very unfavorable to the upcoming academy training.

"Hey, what wind blows you, a big earth-based magician..." When he saw Drake, the king who liked to work alone immediately teased, but before he finished speaking, he saw that there was still someone following him, so he could only shut up immediately.

"Your Majesty, he is Lu Chen." Anyway, they are all his own people, so Delake just used the title that he didn't usually use very much and directly omitted other etiquettes.

"Oh? Master... Lu Chen, is Lu Shien who suppressed the rebels of the Skinner family?" The king almost shouted out directly. It's okay, the distance between the door and him was relatively far, so he would not be heard clearly.

Following Drake to a place very close to the desk, Lu Chen was a little scared and strange and called "Your Majesty" to say hello, and then stood there respectfully, like a prisoner waiting to fall, making the atmosphere very strange. Even Drake was a little embarrassed to react to the assassin question.

After holding it in for a few seconds, the two old guys finally couldn't help laughing, which made Lu Chen even more worried if he had done something wrong. He was either afraid of being pulled out and beheaded, or he felt that it would be very embarrassing if he made a fool of himself in front of the king.

"Okay, okay, there are no people here, don't be so restrained. I heard that you are very capable. If you are not used to it, just call me Dwyen directly. Don't let the age gap limit our communication. I don't want young people like you to become like my ministers." The king said kindly, as if he was an ordinary elder.

"Don't talk about this for now, let's talk about it later. Our Lu Chen got a reliable news that there was an assassin in the team of the Kaisting Empire who had hidden his true identity from everyone, obviously having other purposes." After laughing, Delake couldn't wait to tell the matter out, and at the same time, he also "set an example" to tell Lu Chen not to be restrained.

"Oh? Is it reliable?" Dwyne just frowned and asked without any panic. After seeing Lu Chen nodding in affirmation, he continued: "The Kaisting Empire has always coveted the 19 cities on the northeastern border of the kingdom and large areas suitable for planting. About five months ago, there was news that they were secretly preparing their troops. It seems that something must happen for the arrival of this exchange group."

"Well, and there must be a very important person in this team, you see?" Drake was a little anxious and sought the king's opinion.

"Haha, don't worry, I think what should be worried about is the target who may be assassinated. By the way, our future Marquis, do you have any opinions or any other news?" Unlike Drake, Dwyne doesn't seem to take this matter seriously at all.

Although he knew that the vice president was also a member of the royal family, and might even be the king's brother, the casual conversation between the two still made Lu Chen feel extremely strange. He wondered if this was a test of himself, so he could only answer with awkward response: "Your Majesty, I am just an ordinary civilian and dare not make arbitrary judgments. However, when I left there, I saw the cardinal of the Holy See and the mentor Digren who led the team together. I wonder if this can be counted as news?"

"The people of the Holy See are not staying in the church, why are they going there?" Dwyen didn't know that Lu Chen's heart continued to knock on his head without any impression.

"It is said that Dillen is the second magician in the Kaisting Empire who has the final say. Even Orucci, the Dharma Saint, has to listen to him in many things. Such a person leads the team in person, which is worthy of fun." Drake also joined in the fun and added a message.

"What!" Lu Chen was shocked. He never expected that the kind old man he met on the way back had this identity. "Then his students should be the children of princes and nobles, or geniuses with excellent talent?"

The two old brothers looked at each other and wanted to say, "It's true, you're a typical example." But they immediately thought of Lu Chen's meaning and asked in unison: "Have you seen his students?"

"Yes, one is called Rossel and the other is called Leni, both of them are exchange students this time." Lu Chen answered briefly.

"I've never heard of him having such a young student."

"Forget it, I will ask someone to investigate this matter, and there is no need to worry too much. Even if I deal with this crisis, the Jackal of Kaisting will not give up the preparations for the past six months. All we can do is to be prepared to deal with it at any time. Okay, let's come here first. Since our Marquis is here, let's talk about what reward you want. As long as I have it, it's fine, no matter whether it's a person or a thing." Dwyne said expectantly, and he really hoped that this junior brother would make a request to marry a princess as a prince.

The boss said this. Delake, who is younger brother, will naturally not be troubled. He just knows that his brother is mentally polite. He is really embarrassed to see Lu Chen because of the words "whether it is a person or a thing". He doesn't dare to go to see Lu Chen. No matter how he feels like he is setting up a stall to sell his niece.

Lu Chen was a little overloaded when the king actually called himself the Marquis again. However, looking at the king's face that smiled very "slowly", he still plucked up his courage and tried to ask: "I don't know what I want. The vice president said he wanted to deposit the artifact into the treasury. Can I go there and see it?"

"Uh~No problem, then let's go now." Although I knew that the junior brother would not say he wanted to marry a princess, Dwyne was still a little disappointed, and after that, he led him ahead.

The distance was too close, and Lu Chen didn't dare to ask what Drake said wrong. Seeing the king's appearance, he could only follow him carefully and decided to choose an inconspicuous thing when he arrived at the treasury. He must not harm his friends and women because of his greed for money.

But when he was walking in the palace, Lu Chen was fainted again. Dwyne actually enthusiastically introduced the situation and structure of the palace to him while walking. He seemed to be showing off at first, but later the other party strangely asked him to remember the route. When he was deliberately taking him around the **, he specifically talked about the residences of the concubines and princesses, told him that most princesses would play here together on holidays, and invited him, the future marquis, to come here to play too.

Listening to his brother's "serious intentions", Delake was very urged to hit the wall, but because this was the palace, he had to give the king some face, so he could only endure the hilariousness in his heart with a bitter face and put it a little further behind.

It took more than half an hour more than usual, and his intention to sell his daughter was too "obvious". Dwyne eventually brought two people who could not stand it to the treasury.

Through the heavy guard, Dwyne took out the key and opened a small door at the corner of the three-story door. The three of them entered the most tightly guarded place of the Finesh Kingdom without any surprise.

"Okay, let your teacher, let you take out the artifact." Dwyne was not polite, just because he was awkward when talking about his teacher Ron.

He was not reluctant to let it go. Lu Chen, who had used the magic weapon once, gave the "Damage" staff to Delake without any hesitation. He could not exert its true power anyway, and like other skills, he could only use it once for a certain period of time.

After the two old guys looked at each other, they asked Lu Chen to watch it casually by himself. They slowly thought about it and told them what they had fallen in love with. Then they went to the place inside to "busy".

There was no large amount of gold coins piled up at the door, nor was there a mountain of magic cores. Most of them were cultural relics, souvenirs, etc. Although they were also priceless, they were useless to Lu Chen. Going further inside, they looked like some ancient alchemy works, and I don’t know if they could be used.

Soon Lu Chen came to the innermost position, but when he saw that the items placed on the shelf were all weapons and equipment, he immediately retreated. He knew that these things should be very powerful treasures even if they were not magical tools. Lu Chen, who was determined to find an inconspicuous thing, did not even dare to take a look at them, fearing that he would not be able to stand the temptation and make a choice to harm others and himself.

"What's going on? I haven't looked at it yet. Did you look down on my collection after playing the artifact? You look down on people too much. I see this artifact, and there is nothing special about it." Dwayne was depressed. He deliberately gave Lu Chen a chance to make up for his lack of strength after he didn't have the artifact.

"Tsk, what can you see can be called a magic weapon. This kid is so smart. I think he was scared by you, so I didn't even look at it. You really want to give him anything, just give him something, why are you going to go in such a big circle?" There was no one around, and Drake ruthlessly attacked his brother.

"How could I have a trap for him? It's because the teacher asked us to hide it from him in his letter, or I could just give him half of the treasure house."

"That's right, just give him good things. With his cleverness, he can definitely guess something... Alas, it's really hard to do with this junior brother. I hope the teacher can come early..."

No matter how frowns the two old brothers were, Lu Chen, who would not choose useless things, looked at alchemy items one by one, and was soon attracted by a quaint necklace. The diamond-shaped crystal necklace like a black gem made him involuntarily remember the star-life stone he had.

He released his consciousness and entered it, and unexpectedly discovered that this was a space item with a main one. He did not hesitate to use the old method to remove the contract above, but he did not expect that his ability to try could not be broken in a short time. Finally, after looking at the instructions on the shelf, Lu Chen decided to ask for this item, and then he took it to the door, found a place to sit down, and waited for the two old uncles.

Seeing Lu Chen had no intention of choosing other things, the two brothers no longer pretended to fiddle with the artifact, put the box in an inconspicuous place, put the label on the instructions, and returned to Lu Chen.

Before Lu Chen could speak, Dwyen, who was very dissatisfied, asked: "Why did you pick this? You are not an alchemist, why do you want it?"

"Ah? It's just a personal hobby, knowledge is the strongest power. If you can't give this to me, then I'll put it back." Lu Chen replied carefully.

"Then... whatever you want. Go out, it's almost noon. Let's have a meal with us before leaving. By the way, I heard that you taught the girls with red thorn flowers to make dishes from your hometown. They tasted pretty good. How about it? Do I have this blessing to eat?" Dwyne, who had not "sold" his daughter, suddenly started to say something with a plan.

"Uh~ I taught them right, but I only know how to do it. The taste is not as good as those girls. If your Majesty, you promise not to punish me for being terrible, then I will be ugly." God knows what the king is going to do, and Lu Chen, who dared not refuse, could only take on this "worry" task helplessly.

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay, little Lu Chen, don't worry, this guy has no taste. As long as it's not poisonous, I promise you won't have anything to do." Seeing the atmosphere was uncomfortable, Drake finally couldn't help but burst out.

"I don't have a sense of taste? You damn it. Lu Chen, I'll order you to make the most unpalatable dish for this guy, and you don't have to eat something that hurts your stomach. Just let him eat it and want to vomit it out, and it's fine." The king had no image either.

"What, you..."

“…”

There was no one in the treasury, and the two bored brothers started to make a fuss again, while Lu Chen could only watch the performance with a black look on his head, and at the same time realized that he seemed to have done something stupid and really missed some opportunity.
