As for whether the slaves will rebel after being sold and removed from the prisoner list, that's none of his business; he's not responsible for after-sales service!

"What do you think of this city, Lord Storm Marquis?"

Sensing that Liu Tianyu behind her seemed somewhat engrossed in looking at the royal city of Geolar, Freya spoke softly.

"Quite impressive! Prosperity, freedom, happiness—all the elements of a good life are present. It's an extremely beautiful city, just like Your Highness Freya, it's captivating!"

Upon hearing Freya's question, Liu Tianyu praised her generously and also complimented Freya.

Anyway, judging from appearances alone, Freya is indeed a flawless and beautiful girl who makes you want to have a fierce battle with her.

"Hehe, thank you for your praise. This city is my pride. To protect the people of this city and their smiles, I will fight on as a brave warrior!"

Ah! Alright, we've arrived at the palace. It's time to dismount. Look, Kjaer is already waiting for us there!

Freya smiled charmingly and said softly.

Soon, she led Liu Tianyu and Kjaer, who had been waiting for a long time, into the palace gates that had already been opened.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, your soldiers have been arranged to stay at a high-class hotel next to the Kingdom's embassy. After you have an audience with your father, you can go to the embassy to find them."

Just as they were about to enter, Freya seemed to suddenly remember something and reminded Liu Tianyu.

Liu Tianyu nodded; in fact, he didn't need Freya's reminder at all.

As long as they are soldiers in Liu Tianyu's unit list, no matter how far apart they are, Liu Tianyu can sense their location through the system!

…………

Compared to the warm colors of the royal palace, which is dominated by gold and splendor, the palace in Gioral is dominated by cool colors, which makes people feel somewhat cold.

On either side of the palace stood iron canisters, their entire bodies encased in plate armor, standing silently like steel statues.

This created a strong sense of pressure for Kjaer, who was kneeling on one knee in the middle of the red carpet.

However, Liu Tianyu, standing behind him, seemed completely unconcerned. After all, the Emerald Eye had shown that these guys were only so-so, and he alone was enough to completely wipe them out.

Liu Tianyu's attention was now focused on the three thrones in the palace. A middle-aged man sat in the middle and highest position, while Freya sat on the lower right side.

The leftmost passenger seat was empty, but behind the middle-aged man was a high wall with three photos hanging on it: one of him, one of Freya, and one of a girl with short pink hair.

"Your Majesty, the test is complete. His profession is a healing mage!"

At that moment, an old man dressed in white archbishop's robes, serving the god of war Malvis, came to Kjaer's side with a magic scroll and scanned it.

He then presented the magic scroll to King Gioral, Prom Gioral, who was seated on the throne, and reported this.

"?!"

When Freya, who was sitting on the right-hand side of the palace, heard the archbishop's report, her smile vanished instantly.

Prom, who was sitting on the throne with a bored expression, remained expressionless when he heard the archbishop's report.

King Prom is now nearing seventy, but perhaps due to his great power, he still appears to be a middle-aged man in his forties with a resolute face.

His hair and beard were pure black, and he wasn't wearing fancy clothes, but a set of black armor with some patterns on it, which looked extremely stiff.

The crown she wore was also quite simple, as if it were casually made of gold.

Judging from this appearance alone, King Prom should not be a pleasure-seeking person.

But if a king doesn't enjoy material things, what would he be interested in?

"A healing sorcerer? This is an ability our country desperately needs. In that case, I bestow upon you the title of Healing Warrior!"

King Prom spoke, and his voice was devoid of emotion.

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty! From this day forward, I, Keyar, will call myself the Healer."

Upon hearing King Prom speak, Kyar, who had been extremely nervous, breathed a sigh of relief and quickly bowed his head in gratitude.

"Since you possess the power of a hero, perhaps you can heal that sword saint."

King Prom remained expressionless in the face of Kjaer's gratitude; instead, he had begun to wonder about the Healer's strength.

"The Sword Saint?"

Upon hearing this title, Kyar looked up with a puzzled expression.

"In terms of swordsmanship alone, he is even stronger than the Sword Hero. Unfortunately, he lost his right hand in the battle against the high-level demons last week."

King Prom calmly introduced the situation.

"I understand. I will dedicate my strength as a hero to the country. Please leave the healing to the Sword Saint!"

Upon hearing this, Kyar's passion was instantly ignited, and he readily agreed.

"Stupid Qing!"

Seeing Kyar's inexplicably excited expression, Liu Tianyu thought to himself, "What do you mean?"

However, he could understand it. Putting himself in the shoes of a fresh college graduate who suddenly receives a meeting with the head of state and is then appointed as an academician, he would definitely be eager to make a name for himself.

"Alright, you can leave now. I will arrange a teacher for you so that you can become a qualified hero!"

King Prom waved his hand, and two maids came and brought Kjaer down.

"Honored guest from the kingdom, I hope you can forgive my initial negligence, after all, confirming the hero is of paramount importance!"

After Kjaer was led away by the maid, King Prom turned his gaze to Liu Tianyu, saying sorry but remaining expressionless and his voice devoid of warmth.

"No, Your Majesty, confirming the existence of heroes is of paramount importance, no matter where they are. After all, whenever the Dark Realm is in turmoil, heroes are needed as a sharp sword to bring light to everyone!"

"I am but a lowly official, I completely understand!"

Seeing that it was finally his turn, and that King Prom had already spoken, he had no choice but to accept the offer. He first bowed before speaking.

"Well then, Marquis Storm, may I ask what important matter your king has sent you as a special envoy to visit our country?"

Seeing Liu Tianyu's proper demeanor, King Prom nodded and continued to ask questions.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has received news that the Kingdom of Geolar has been invaded by the Dark Realm, and your country has not sent any messengers to report the news."

That's why His Majesty mistakenly thought that your country had encountered some trouble, and that's why he sent me as a special envoy to check if anything unexpected had happened to your country.

However, based on what I have seen and heard along the way, your people are prosperous and live happily, showing no signs of having experienced war. This truly puzzles me!

Liu Tianyu remained composed and directly explained the task King Louis had assigned to him.

Since King Louis hadn't assigned him any special mission, there was no harm in revealing his purpose.

"King Louis is quite thoughtful; he received our supplies as soon as our country went to war with the Dark Realm."

A few weeks ago, the Dark Territory did indeed invade our country, led by the former Demon King's lieutenant, the Lustful Shutina.

They directly breached several border fortresses bordering our country and the Dark Realm, causing considerable trouble for our country.

However, without the Demon King, the Demon King's army was ultimately just a disorganized mess.

Under the leadership of the Cannon Hero Brett, the remnants of the Demon King's army were quickly driven back into the Dark Realm, and even the leader, Shutina, was hit by the Cannon Hero's cannon.

However, during the pursuit last week, the cunning Shutina set up an ambush, causing the pursuing Sword Saint to lose an arm when surrounded by two high-level demons.

This is the truth behind the so-called invasion of the Demon King's army. I'm truly sorry to have caused King Louis of your country such worry!

King Prom explained the whole story of the Demon King's invasion to Liu Tianyu in detail. His smooth answer didn't sound like a lie at all.

Not to mention that the royal city of Geolar was thriving and didn't look fake at all.

Anyone can say polite words, but when it comes to their own life and death, the people of the royal city of Georlar will definitely not sit still. This is the instinct for survival of living beings, and no one can stop it.

"In this light, perhaps the king of the foreign vassal state is worrying too much."

That makes sense when you think about it. The Kingdom of Geolar borders the Dark Realm, and the history of the Kingdom of Geolar is a history of war with the Dark Realm.

Your country's fighting strength is naturally beyond our imagination; therefore, I humbly request Your Majesty's forgiveness for my initial presumption of duty!

Liu Tianyu believed half of King Prom's explanation, but reserved his opinion on the other half, not for any other reason than that the Emerald Eye had seen the abnormal state on his body!

Besides seeing through King Prom's incredibly high stats, the Emerald Eyes also noticed something interesting—something that didn't belong to the continent of Tyrion!

But Liu Tianyu wasn't foolish enough to expose him. This was someone else's territory. If he chose to turn against them directly, he would truly be going deep behind enemy lines!

"It's alright. The fact that your king and you are so worried about our country shows the deep brotherly bond between us."

King Prom waved his hand dismissively.

"In that case, I request permission to use the palace's teleportation array to return to the royal palace and report back to my king!"

After seeing the interesting things about King Prom, Liu Tianyu didn't really want to stay there any longer.

"Anyone who comes is a guest, especially since Marquis Storm is a special envoy of the kingdom, making him an even more honored guest."

Please stay here for now, and I'll arrange a grand welcome banquet for you tomorrow night!

Furthermore, the palace's teleportation array was destroyed a week ago by the magic my daughter used.

The court magicians are still setting up the new teleportation array, so you can wait until it's finished before you leave.

Please take this time to enjoy the unique features of the Kingdom of Geolar in the royal capital!

No sooner had King Prom finished speaking than two maids escorted him away before Liu Tianyu could refuse.

Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Liu Tianyu could only pretend to be helpless and follow the two maids out of the rather plain palace of the Kingdom of Geolar.

After Liu Tianyu left the palace, everyone else was quickly expelled from the palace by King Prom, leaving only himself and Freya.

"Are you sure he's a dragon knight?"

Even when facing his own daughter, King Prom's voice remained devoid of emotion.

"Yes, yes, Father, I saw it with my own eyes. It was a sixty-meter-long black dragon. The moment he summoned it, he immediately rode the black dragon and flew through the air!"

When the father and daughter were alone together, Freya could no longer maintain her usual gentle smile, and her eyes were filled with a deep fear.

"His existence may hinder my grand plan, but at the same time, we can try to win him over first and see if there is any chance to get him to betray the corrupt kingdom and join our great Kingdom of Geolar!"

If he were willing to abandon his evil ways and embrace the light, he would undoubtedly be a considerable asset!

King Prom tapped his throne with his hand, his face showing deep thought.

"Yes, Father, I will arrange for the best maids to serve him tonight. When he is so engrossed in the pleasures of love that he cannot extricate himself, I will take the opportunity to subtly probe him!"

Freya quickly offered her suggestion.

King Prom glanced at Freya, his gaze not like that of a father looking at his daughter, but more like that of someone looking at a treasure or even a commodity.

"Okay, go and do it!"

King Prom gave a soft hum and said nothing more, while Freya, feeling as if she had been granted a pardon, hurriedly left the palace.

"call!"

When he was the only one left in the palace, King Prom closed his eyes to rest for a while. When he opened his eyes again, it seemed that two dark green flames were burning deep in his eyes!

Chapter 119 The Service of Palace Maids (with pictures)

After nightfall, in a luxurious room in the Gioral Palace, Liu Tianyu, having eaten and drunk his fill and finished bathing and changing, collapsed onto the soft bed.

Those obsidian eyes scanned their surroundings to make sure they weren't being watched, then, after using their strength to confirm they weren't being monitored, they muttered to themselves:

"After seeing that I am a dragon knight, did King Prom want to win me over?"

The teleportation array is malfunctioning and needs to be repaired for some time. Ha, what an interesting excuse!

Regardless of whether it's true or not, even if we assume the teleportation array is really broken, your daughter, as a hero of magic, could easily teleport me and my troops back to the capital!

Most importantly, the spell I set up using the teleportation array in the royal capital went directly to the royal city of Geolar!

After the teleportation was completed, it was interfered with and ended up near Albon Village, which is quite intriguing!

"King Prom, what exactly are you up to?"

After sorting through all the events that had happened in the Kingdom of Geolar, Liu Tianyu focused all the doubts on King Prom.

Anyone capable of silently interfering with the capital's teleportation array must have reached a level of unparalleled mastery in magic.

Freya, as a hero of magic, naturally belonged to this category, but according to his observation, Freya should not have been involved in this matter, otherwise she would not have been so surprised by the arrival of the kingdom's special envoy.

Aside from Freya, the only capable person in the royal city of Geolar is King Prom, a magic knight with incredibly high personal attributes.

But it was precisely because of this that Liu Tianyu couldn't understand why King Prom was doing this.

If you don't want him to come, you can unilaterally shut down the teleportation array, or even go further and completely overload the teleportation array, causing it to explode and destroy it completely!

But he didn't do that; he merely interfered with the teleportation array, causing himself and his troops to deviate from their destination, the royal city of Geolar.
