The Crown Of The Nine Continents
Chapter 88: Ren's Thoughts?

Swoooomhh!

Ren landed on one of the Four Paths. The Four Paths were the Paths connecting between the Gate and the Palace. Meanwhile, Ren this time was on the Road that connected the Palace with the Southern Gate.

Not long after Ren landed, Avrogan along with Arystina followed him and landed slightly behind Ren. Their eyes were fixed on whatever was in this Palace Region and Admiration was very clearly visible there.

Ren began to walk, to make sure his Palace was still the same as what he remembered. Avrogan and Arystina followed Ren while looking over and over. They had lost their composure after seeing this Unique yet Overwhelming Palace.

As they walked, Avrogan let out a loud voice ...

"Is this really your Palace Master?!"

Ren stopped stepping and glanced at Avrogan who was following him from behind. Previously Avrogan had several times asked this, but Ren did not respond. Because of this the umpteenth time he asked, Ren began to feel annoyed and was no longer able to ignore him.

"Yes, is there a problem?" Reply Ren briefly.

Avrogan's eyes immediately sparkled with Great. His tail immediately shook - ngibas in a quick way. The terrible Avrogan Winged Horse, now looks very happy.

"S-As expected of Master! You even have this Extremely Great Palace!" Shouting Avrogan.

Ren instantly frowned and stared at Avrogan's Astonishment. How could he feel this happy? Ren doesn't understand.

"Hm." This was all Ren used to reply to Avrogan's words, Ren also did not respond any further. Ren simply turned around to continue back on his way to the Palace.

While Ren was just staring at the Distant Palace in front of him. Arystina and Avrogan were busy watching whatever they were going through. Starting from a Pole with a Light that illuminates the Path until the Path itself that they pass.

"Y-Your Majesty ... What this Pole uses to bring out Light is ... Where's Crystal?"

After Avrogan now was Arystina who asked. Although the tone he used sounded like one who did not want to bother Ren, but still he asked. Once again, with Forced Ren must answer Arystina's question.

"It was indeed a Mana Crystal, but with a slight Change so as to produce a Beautiful Light."

This time it was Arystina's Turn to show her Shining Eyes. He stopped walking then stared at the Illumination Pole with an Expression like "Wooow!" Or something.

He watched the Illumination Pole for some time, but after realizing Ren and Avrogan were already walking far enough, he immediately ran to catch up with them.

"Your Majesty is amazing! Isn't that Mana Crystal extremely rare? But you're using it for lighting only!"

Arystina also seemed to be unable to endure the Tranquility. Sometimes, he would see things that were there in an exaggerated way. But if properly remembered, Arystina had not seen the outside World for a long time. His exaggerated reaction was still understandable to Ren.

The thing that Ren could not understand was Avrogan. From the beginning, he walked in a strange way, as if he was deliberately tapping on the Street to produce a certain sound. Ren actually doesn't want to care about this, but it still bothers him.

"Avron ..." Ren stopped, and at the same time, Avrogan and Arystina stopped their steps.

"Yes Master!?" Avrogan replied with enthusiasm.

"Walk in the usual way."

Ren did not blame them for being amazed at his Palace. However, their joy even exceeded Ren who owned this Palace.

For the Second time, Ren turned around and continued his Journey. But not until the Ten Steps, Avrogan again issued a Voice.

"I'm-I'm sorry, sir, but everything here is so amazing. Even this Road we're on is So Smooth and Comfortable!"

'Solar ...'

That was all that was in Ren's Heart right now to respond to Avrogan's behavior. Then as much as possible, Ren tried to ignore the two of them who followed him.

Ren's eyes were fixed on what was in front of him. It was a Palace that was difficult to describe with words. Around the Palace were the Four Towers that gave off a Beautiful Glitter of Light.

A view that is so amazing when seen at Night has Dark Gulita.

The road now passed by them. As Avrogan said, This Way is so Smooth and very different from Most Streets in this World.

Trees and Lighting Poles Lined on each side make this Road even more comfortable to enjoy.

A scene like this was something that Ren had never gotten directly on Earth.

After that, Ren continued to Walk and Walk ...

Until finally Ren arrived in front of the [Bloody Palace of the Monarch] Palace.

The grandeur and opulence of the [Bloody Palace of the Monarch] can now be felt directly by everyone. The one who felt it the most was Ren. He was goosebumps just by looking at the [Bloody Palace of the Monarch] Palace which turned into Reality.

The Blowing of Wind, Aroma, Feelings, Pressure, Pride, and Aura from the [Bloody Palace of the Monarch] that Ren was unable to get in the Game he now got.

"Isn't ... Seeing him in person is Amazing?"

Ren looked up, where there was his Palace that looked like a Mountain soaring into the Sky. After Satisfied paying attention to that, Ren looked to all the Things around him.

Starting from the Main Garden of the [Bloody Palace of the Monarch] that was behind him. Up to an Arrangement of Stairs in an extraordinary amount in front of him. All of that can be witnessed amazingly by Ren and everyone.

"I couldn't have expected to be given a chance to see something so extraordinary like this." Arystina.

"Mr ... This palace is really yours isn't it?" Avrogan.

Unbelievable, Avrogan still asks the same thing at a time like this. Of course he would not get any response from Ren who had been fixated on his Palace.

As Ren did not reply, Avrogan switched the Target Talks to nearby Arystina.

"Young Miss ... What do you feel when you see this palace?"

"Nothing ... It's too incredible."

* * *

"Ah, I am indeed a shame for having been affected by my own Palace for so long."

Ren smiled as if insulting to himself. Then, he walked up the stairs in front of him. Ren didn't even have time to check what Arystina and Avrogan were up to at the moment.

"Yes, as expected of the Palace."

There was one more Protector in front of Ren at this moment. Different from the previous Protectors that Mana could not sense, the Protectors this time could be felt and seemed to be slightly weaker compared to the First.

Ren stretched the Arm forward to feel what this one Protector was like. If the previous Protector can disguise the Territory and move whoever touched it, then what about this Protector?

As soon as Ren Skin came into contact with it, the Protector gave off a Blood Red shiny Light. No, no, no, but the Protector had injured Jemari Ren's finger and taken his Blood.

Ren was a little surprised because of this and instantly pulled back his Arm. Then Ren watched closely as if his finger had been pierced by something.

Even for a Low-Level Magic Sword, it was impossible to Tear Ren's Skin even if it was just a little. Based on this, Ren can deduce two possibilities. The First was, that Protector was indeed Sharp and the Second was, That Protector was indeed deliberately created to take the Blood of someone who was about to enter it.

Ren's attention was again shifted to the Protector. There, the Blood Ren who had turned into Red Light now enveloped the entire Protector. Making that Protector can clearly be seen even without Mana Perception.

Without another Special Thing, the Protector began to fade by itself. It faded and continued to fade to the point where it had completely disappeared. To strengthen the Evidence, Ren reactivated Mana Perception, and as expected, the Protector had completely disappeared.

"It seems like this is the Second Possibility." Said Ren while thinking about it carefully.

Tap Tap Tap

Ren heard Footsteps from Behind. And Since Mana's Perception had been activated, Ren could tell that it was Avrogan along with Arystina without turning around in the slightest.

Hearing Arystina's words, it reminded Ren of something he should have done. That something is ... Thank You for helping him find the [Bloody Palace of the Monarch].

"Aristina ..."

"Eh ...?" Arystina gasped for not expecting herself to be summoned by Ren at a time like this. Avrogan and Arystina even slowly set foot because they did not want to disturb Ren. But unexpectedly, Ren himself called out the name Arystina.

"Come ..." Ren said, indicating that Arystina is approaching.

Arystina walked up to Ren and stood right beside him. As soon as Arystina arrived, Ren turned his body to face her. Then suddenly, Ren did something surprising.

"Maybe, this is a little disrespectful to you ..."

Ren stroked Arystina's head.

This contact alone made Arystina feel an incredible Shame. His face became Red Merona as if it could explode at any time. However, Ren did not care about this and continued his words.

" ... But because of you, I can find this palace. Thank you." Thank you." Ren smiled Sincerely.

Arystina immediately panicked and did not know what to do. His eyes moved to and fro, his lips constantly trembling as if he wanted to speak. Ren who made Arystina like this was not even aware of the impact of her Deeds.

With an Expression that seemed to be unconcerned, Ren stopped his actions that were encompassing Arystina's Head. He then walked back to climb the Stairs without saying a word.

While Ren had already moved back, Arystina was still silent and was staring at the Empty Air with her face still Red Flushed. After a while in such a state, he finally regained his senses and gasped.

"ah! Your Majesty ..." Arystina immediately moved quickly to follow Ren and was followed by Avrogan who was behind him.

Ren who walked first suddenly - suddenly stopped. There was no definite reason why he had committed this incomprehensible Act. It was just that, he felt something, something that he had forgotten and made his heart feel bad. But ... Whatisit? Ren tried hard to think about it.

"Your Majesty, are you okay?" Arystina peeked at Ren who was thinking out loud from Behind.

Instead of getting an Answer, Arystina was responded to with a Mute Answer. This made Arystina feel a little Upset, even though she knew that she should not disturb Ren who was thinking.

"Mhm ..." Arystina directly puffed the Cheeks in a Spoiled manner.

Avrogan who witnessed Arystina's Behavior only displayed Question Marks. It seems, Avrogan who is a Horse will not understand this.

At this moment the Three of them were thinking of Different Things. Ren with his Mind trying to remember what things he forgot. Then Arystina who felt annoyed because she felt ignored even though she herself could not blame Ren like that. Then Avrogan, he did not understand what Ren and Arystina were thinking, so he just stared at the Palace with the same admiration as before.

Such a situation did not last long, it was because of Ren who had remembered what he had actually forgotten.

"Tch, my goodness, why can I forget about it. Avrog ..."

"Yes Sir?!" As always, Avrogan replied with a spirited Answer. He had become an excited Horse after seeing the [Bloody Palace of the Monarch].

"Come back to the Kingdom of Aulzania and pick up Nirlayn."

"Hiii~ According to Your Command!"

Avrogan moves Slowly into the Air. This action of his was not without reason, he simply did not want to ruin what was part of the [Bloody Palace of the Monarch]. After Flying high, then he darted swiftly forming the Red Light in the Sky.

Ren looked at Avrogan's Traveling with Troubled Face Sharpness, "Maybe next time I should remember Nirlayn more ..." Her speech.

Then Then ...

Under the Darkness of the Night illuminated by the Light of the Moon. Ren began to change all the Plans he had been putting together all this time. The presence of [Bloody Palace of the Monarch] was the Cause of Ren's Decision to change all Plans.

One of the Ren Plans that he had eliminated was, The Plan to take the Imperial Territory of Lodysna using the Kingdom of Aulzania. Ren did not need this Plan anymore because he had already obtained his [Bloody Palace of the Monarch].

'Ahahaha! Perhaps, if they rebelled, there was no other choice but to do ... Conquest.'

This unexpected thought was unleashed by him along with a terrifying smile.

But that terrifying smile instantly disappeared into an ordinary expression. Ren turns back to Arystina, but when he sees Arystina is not as usual.

"Hm ... Why are you looking down on Arystina?"

The expression and Aura that Arystina exuded were darker than usual. Ren did not understand at all and just stared at Arystina closely. Then, as Ren stared, Arystina let out a slightly terrifying sound.

"Your Majesty ... Who is Nirlayn?"

"....."

Ren was silent, and in his Heart he asked, Why do Women always change their Attitudes Drastically?
