Quick Wear: The Beautiful, Strong and Tragic Path of a Swordsman

Chapter 198: Knight of Dark Disaster 27

At first, Ze thought that his father wanted to see him and Yan in private, but when they stepped into the royal hall, the golden and red carpet that extended from the high throne was filled with people on both sides. With their appearance, everyone's eyes were focused on them, with both kindness and malice. The complex human nature once again gathered at the peak of Slavic power and interests - under the throne.

The only one who can stand on the top of the mountain is the king who is always high above.

Xu Yan followed Hou Ze and walked behind him, keeping a respectful distance while being able to protect him at any time. The dark knight and the only black color in the entire palace - the king's crown, at this moment, one above and one below, gave people the illusion of echoing each other.

No matter how people speculated, they still didn't know why: Why would their noble king make the crown that ominous black?

What is even more unknown is why: the king with the purest bloodline, favored and blessed by the God of Pure White, actually gave birth to a black child and gave him to the future crown prince as a contracted knight.

Did their king abandon his faith?

No! Absolutely not! If this were true, the White God would definitely punish them instead of blessing the royal family as usual, so that all children younger than the Third Prince would have beautiful white hair.

So...what does the king want to do? And as nobles who cannot be separated from this country, what will happen to them? Is it an opportunity? Or a disaster?

I hope to get an answer soon.

The above are the reasons why the nobles looked at Ze and Xu Yan with complicated eyes. They have their own positions and pursuits, and their bottom line is not to endanger their lives.

And this is more important than their loyalty to the king and piety to the gods.

As for those people who had been deeply ingrained with the "loyalty curse" by the Slav king over the years, they did not have such worries. They just lowered their eyes respectfully, waiting for the king's orders, and would have no complaints even if the king ordered them to commit suicide.

"See Father."

"See His Majesty the King."

The former is Ze, the crown prince, and the latter is Xu Yan, the captain of the crown prince’s guards.

The two men knelt on one knee respectfully and performed the kneeling ceremony to show the knights' loyalty to the king who was sitting elegantly and lazily on the throne.

"Get up." The king's majestic and low voice came from the throne. Although the voice with magic power was not loud, it could be clearly heard by everyone.

He didn't know if it was his usual paranoia, but Ze always felt that there was something very wrong with the way his father looked at him and Yan - it was as if he was looking at two lambs to be slaughtered or priceless treasures, rather than his own sons.

But in the blink of an eye, this feeling disappeared, and those deep light golden eyes revealed a gentleness that only appeared when looking at him and Yan.

Tarnov raised the corners of his lips, smiled at his two sons, one black and one white, who were standing at the bottom of the stairs, and then asked about Xu Yan's injuries and the situation at that time with concern.

Ze briefly recounted what happened that day, and at the end he emphasized that Xu Yan had not yet fully recovered.

But it was too easy for Wang to play dumb. He just nodded without comment, and then gave an order that no one could understand.

"An opportunity to ascend to the Godhood was discovered in the depths of the Death Snow Mountain. In order to avoid the expansion of the war or civil unrest caused by the sudden loss of the king, the kings of the five countries discussed and decided to send the younger generation of strong men to fight for it. No matter life or death, it will not rise to the position of the country."

"I want you to go."

Tarnov's power is very strong, and even though he appears to be relatively peaceful on the surface, there is no doubt that he is a dictator.

Therefore, even though he issued an order that would send the crown prince to a life-or-death situation, no one dared to make a noise. They just lowered their heads, not daring to let the king see their uncontrollable expressions.

Tarnov smiled with satisfaction and added, "The crown princes of all countries will go, and if the crown prince dies, the country will lose the right to compete and will directly withdraw from the Death Snow Mountain area."

Ze took a deep breath after hearing this, and looked up at the king above him calmly, "Yes, father."

The magic beasts in the Death Snow Mountain start at level seven, and level five and six magic beasts can be easily encountered. If you are unlucky, it is not impossible to encounter a group of level four magic beasts. However, he is only level four, and it will be difficult for him to enter. He has to be cautious at all times to barely protect himself, not to mention going deep into the mountain to find the elusive opportunity to become a god.

So he had reason to suspect that his father had already anticipated that the current situation would develop, which was why he forced Yan to become powerful when he was very young and only allowed himself to have contact with Yan.

In the end, it was even possible that his encounter with Yan was intentional on the part of the king.

Otherwise how could it be such a coincidence.

It's really unpleasant to feel like your whole life is being controlled.

Afterwards, Xu Yan was called to meet Tarnov alone, while Ze was waiting at the door of the royal court.
