The Demon Lord System
Chapter 197: Dinner
Ling Chen smiled as Xin Zhang said he and the others had gotten an invitation to eat together, but Xin Zhang's face felt guilty for not telling Ling Chen as his master.
ㅤ
Ling Chen simply smiled and said it was not a mistake but an opportunity, because this way Ling Chen and the others could more easily establish a relationship with the King.
ㅤ
“Alright, you take a shower first, if you're ready we'll go to the kingdom soon.”
ㅤ
“Good sir.” Xin Zhang went upstairs and went to his room to clean up his body.
ㅤ
Kazan who was not far away listened to what Ling Chen said, “Are you really going to the kingdom? Can I come with you?” Kazan put on a hardened face, making Ling Chen difficult to resist.
ㅤ
“Well that's right, but if you want to come along you better keep your attitude in front of the King, understand?”
ㅤ
“I understand kak.” Kazan chuckled pettyly for successfully convincing Ling Chen, Kazan started to like his welding technique.
ㅤ
While Sapphire who was also beside Kazan sighed because Ling Chen had not reprimanded him, he had wanted to stop Kazan but Ling Chen had spoken first.
**
After a long wait for Ling Chen and the others to get ready, they went to the kingdom by flying there while Rafaela and Kazan boarded Levi as a ride, It was Ling Chen himself who said to show strength, for the soldiers and the higher-ups of the kingdom to give face to them.
ㅤ
It didn't take long for them to arrive at the kingdom.
ㅤ
Ling Chen descended quickly into the underground area of the kingdom, making the surrounding land crumble and the soldiers immediately surrounded him while aiming weapons.
ㅤ
Not long after one by one also started to hit the floor of the kingdom and made it crack, exposing the soldiers to mental attacks. They all descended from the sky, they were magicians who could not fly knowing how powerful and difficult it was to face a magician or kstaria who could fly.
ㅤ
Among the fallen, they recognized him as Xan Zhang, the royal general. They hurriedly faced him and questioned Xan Zhang. Xin Zhang simply said they were the ones the King summoned.
ㅤ
Not long from above appeared the raven that descended, Kazan shouted boisterously as it had only first flown over the sky. Levi waited for the two to descend and changed his form to half human.
The soldiers who were staring at them could only clench in admiration, they actually gave a thumbs up to the King of Leaves for bringing powerful people like them.
**
The Leaf King did not expect all of the companions Xan Zhang meant to be able to fly freely above the sky, and even one of them could turn into a savage beast. The Leaf King this time frowned, he understood why Xan Zhang said they did not look at the status of the person calling him.
ㅤ
But the Leaf King was also very happy that they accepted his offer, this time it was him who was nervous. He waited in the dining room with his wife, his two children and his right hand.
ㅤ
“Dad I heard a commotion outside the kingdom, and one of the maids told me many witches and knights that could fly into the kingdom, even one of them could turn his form into a beast. Did dad call them?” One of Leaf's children asked, her name was Chayton.
ㅤ
“Well they are the comrades of General Xan Zhang, I myself still did not expect their abilities to be that strong.”
ㅤ
ㅤ
The other one is Princess Eleanora Monhard, 16 years old and has martial skills equivalent to a master, she is a witch. Her hair was purple just like her mother's and her eyes were light blue just like her mother's.
ㅤ
As they were chatting suddenly the entrance opened and showed the knights and witches that were horrendous to the kingdom at this time. Kurumi, Levi did not show any respect at all and immediately sat on the chair while Ling Chen, Arthur, Xin Zhang and Kazan and Rafaela paid their respects.
ㅤ
“Greetings to your majesty.” Ling Chen and the others said simultaneously.
ㅤ
After the king allowed them to sit, they finally sat in their seats. The dining table is very long so they do not have to worry about not getting to the place.
ㅤ
“Yes, introduce me is Ling Chen, maybe His Majesty already knows me from what the mayor said Monday, but believe me Xan Zhang is just too emotional when meeting me.” Ling Chen smiled faintly.
ㅤ
“Ah so apparently, well then please cooperate Ling Chen.”
ㅤ
Eleanora put on a sour face when she saw Ling Chen, she realized Ling Chen's smile was a fake smile.
ㅤ
“Master with a fake smile, where are you from and how old are you right now?”
ㅤ
All eyes immediately stared at Eleanora in disbelief, even Levi and Kurumi gave off their respective auras that made one room limp instantly. The King of Leaves himself experienced it, he begged for mercy for letting his daughter say so.
ㅤ
Fortunately Ling Chen immediately gave the order not to carelessly emotion, and told them not to be too aggressive as they would likely become their comrades in the future.
ㅤ
“I'm sorry for not educating her properly.” The king this time said politely, not daring to make the knights or magicians in front of him angry.
ㅤ
“No no pardon us too, they are knights and apprentice magicians of the Cold-Blooded Troops organization. Naturally they are more emotional than permanent members.” Ling Chen violently convoluted and made one lie that was quick and easy to believe.
ㅤ
“Ouh so.”
**
Everything finally ended up eating dinner quietly, Eleanora also apologized for opening her voice apparently not always good. From the incident Eleanora can conclude that not everything that is not revealed should be revealed, because maybe bad events will happen to us.
ㅤ
After finishing eating all the royal family came out of the dining room together with Rafaela and Kazan. Letting the King along with his right hand and the knight and sorcerer Xan Zhang's comrade.
ㅤ
“It looks like you all also already know what I said to Xan Zhang right?”
ㅤ
“Yes so.”
ㅤ
“Then there is no need to mince words anymore, I will say you all get a special mission to scorch the Black Mage Association. One year, if you can beat them... You already know the answer yourself, it happens to all of you.”
