The Demon Lord System
Chapter 196: The Capital of the Scrollaves
The day before, the soldiers of the Scrollaves city guards had orders to increase their guard around the entrance area of the capital and inspect everyone who came to the Scrollaves city, he said, they do not know the obvious reason but they still carry out the command as much as possible.
ㅤ
Some soldiers also spent their time drinking wine because they were bored of continuing to guard the entrance area. Suddenly while they were on patrol, they saw a sizable horse carriage in the Diamond royal armor.
ㅤ
Xan Zhang advanced forward first and showed his identity as the royal general, all the soldiers bowed their heads respectfully.
ㅤ
“I did not expect to meet you Mr. General, you are a man we admire!” All the soldiers said 'that we admire' simultaneously.
ㅤ
Xan Zhang only coughed softly and thanking him for his praise, Xan Zhang then returned to the carriage party and led the horse carriage into the city.
ㅤ
One question still flashed through their heads, 'Who is being escorted by a General?'
**
The popularity of Xan Zhang is actually quite famous among the citizens, making Xan Zhang get a lot of praise wherever he walks. Xan Zhang only smiled wryly as it made his master's horse carriage surrounded in consequence.
ㅤ
In the end Xan Zhang also obtained an inn for Ling Chen and the others to stay.
ㅤ
Ling Chen, Kazan, Rafaela and the others each went to his own room to get ready for dinner under the inn. While Xan Zhang who had just arrived suddenly got a call from a soldier who heard a noise. Xan Zhang nodded in understanding, he then advised his team members to keep Ling Chen and tell him where he was.
ㅤ
Xan Zhang boarded his chariot and hurried, accompanied by the two soldiers, they together went towards the kingdom.
It did not take long for them to reach the kingdom, because the kingdom was quite close to the capital. Xan Zhang gazing up at the sky, ‘Hmm Xin watch your talk, we will immediately switch positions.’
ㅤ
‘I know I know, you're fast in.’
ㅤ
Xan Zhang went inside after the royal gate was opened by the two soldiers guarding the gate. Arriving inside the royal area, Xan Zhang went down and handed his horse over to the one soldier who escorted him earlier.
ㅤ
The remaining one drove Xan Zhang inward to the doorstep of the royal throne.
ㅤ
“Please enter mr.” The soldier opened the door to the throne room.
ㅤ
Xan Zhang looked at him, “Thank you.” Then he walked into the throne room.
**
“Xan Zhang, where are you actually from?” Layla asked, while the Leaf King was speechless as he looked at Xan Zhang's face.
ㅤ
Actually at this time Xan da Xin's position had swapped, Xin Zhang smiled then replied, “Yang noble, forgive me, because I Your Majesty must wait... Actually I met a person who was quite close to me first, therefore I accompanied him.”
ㅤ
“But according to what I know from Mayor Monday, you respect him a lot and even salute him like facing the King, if you may know who he really is?” Layla raised one eyebrow.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“It...”
ㅤ
King Leaf raised her eyebrows, it was unusual for Xan Zhang she knew to be like this, just before Layla wanted to ask back, Leaf stopped her and opened her voice, “It seems you can't tell her, alright but I want to make sure of something, you have no ill intentions right?”
ㅤ
Xin Zhang's countenance changed slightly, he did not expect the Leaf King to have this ferocious aura, yet compared to the other Demonic Pillars, this was nothing, it was nothing, it was just that Xin Zhang deliberately shook his body and replied stutteringly that he did not have any ill intentions towards the kingdom.
ㅤ
King Leaf sighed and drew her aura as she looked at Xan Zhang's somewhat frightened face, “Alright I believe you, then actually you were summoned here because there is something you have to work on. Layla bring this box.”
ㅤ
“Good sir.” Layla walked behind the throne and took out a small chest, after which she returned before the King and waited for his next command.
ㅤ
“Xan Zhang, will you accept the task of finding and scorching the Black Mage Association? If you can scorch this Black Mage Association, I as King will give you a gift in this chest, also you will become a royal family and get a higher position than other Generals.”
ㅤ
A very entertaining offer, Xin Zhang accepted it without any objections, “It just so happens that my former comrades also gathered, too, two of my comrades at least have the same ability as me and another one is even far above me, to accept this task I have no objection at all. I'll ask my colleague for help too.”
ㅤ
Xin Zhang's words made Leaf King and Layla speechless, Xan Zhang's strength was extremely strong in their eyes, even from all the generals only Xan Zhang was able to stand up after Leaf's aura about him. Then if the fellows that Xan Zhang was referring to together helped scorch the Black Mage Association, perhaps it would happen.
ㅤ
“Alright, Layla handed the little crate to him. This Xan Zhang is my face gift.”
ㅤ
Layla walked forward to Xin Zhang and handed him the small chest in his hand.
ㅤ
“Thank you to your Excellency Leaf, then I beg you to resign.”
ㅤ
“Wait, Xan Zhang if you can please take them out to eat together? I don't mind even though they're commoners.”
ㅤ
Xin Zhang halted his steps and turned around, “I will ask them, because they are strong people who are not blinded by popularity and treasures, so even their King status does not matter, either, so I can't say yes without asking them, please forgive your majesty.”
ㅤ
“Ah is okay, alright thank you.” The Leaf King was quite surprised by Xan Zhang's words, but then he couldn't force them to come either.
**
Xin Zhang returned to the inn in the royal capital, until there he saw Ling Chen and the others were eating in the inn's basement.
ㅤ
“Xin, you've come, come here let's drink.” Arthur waved his hand leading Xin Zhang to his desk.
ㅤ
Xin Zhang shook his head and walked to face Ling Chen, until before his master, Xin said what the King had told him. Ling Chen listened seriously, from what Xin Zhang said, Ling Chen seemed to have managed to get two birds in one arrow.
