Chapter 181: A show of force
It had been a whole day since Lin Feng and his seven companions arrived at the capital of the Star-Moon Empire.
Until night fell, the gate of the Star-Moon Palace was still closed, and there was no news after the messenger went in, which made people unhappy.
"How busy is this Star-Moon Emperor? We are the envoys of the Magic Tower after all, but he actually turned us away!"
Gotha's temper flared up. Originally, he was quite excited about representing the Magic Tower to visit the Star-Moon Empire.
I thought that with the title of Magic Tower, I would be looked up to and respected wherever I went.
But who would have thought that the Star-Moon Emperor would wait from day to night, but there was not even a reply, as if he did not take the Magic Tower seriously at all.
"The intelligence agencies of the Star-Moon Empire are not for show. The eldest prince Brady went to the Magic Tower to take the test, but there has been no news since then. Our presence here as an inspection team proves that the test has ended. I'm afraid that the Star-Moon Emperor has already known that Brady has met with an accident, so he left us here."
Gunara said.
She knew the whole story best, but she couldn't tell the truth.
In a sense, Emperor Xingyue was her employer, and the death of Crown Prince Brady was most directly related to her.
The reason why she approached Brady during the assessment was that she was planning to use Brady as a pawn to touch the Abyss Lord buried under the Nether Island.
But who knew that the Lord of the Abyss woke up and turned into the Demon King of the Abyss, and killed Brady before she could react.
She later told her superior about this matter, and presumably her superior had also informed her employer, the Star-Moon Emperor, of Brady's death.
It would be strange for a person to have a good temper.
Of course, although Emperor Xingyue is Gunara's employer, he doesn't know who Gunara is.
All of Gunara's instructions and actions were directed by her superiors, so she was not worried that Emperor Xingyue would cause trouble for her.
"I think why don't we just tell the people from the Star-Moon Empire directly? Once the news gets to us, we can leave, right?" Ace said.
"If this news gets out, the situation will become more troublesome than we imagined. How about I use my name to let them pass the word?" Jin Baili said.
"No need, people are coming."
Compared to the other members of the team, Lin Feng was more patient than them. After all, he had done this kind of waiting work many times before.
At this time, the side door of Xingyue Palace opened.
An old civil servant in court uniform walked out slowly.
"Excuse me, who is the leader of the Magic Tower patrol team, Mr. Lin Feng?"
No outsiders were allowed to stay in front of the Xingyue Palace. Apart from the guards, there were only Lin Feng and a few others who had been waiting here.
Although Smart had already figured out where these people came from, he pretended not to know at this moment, and his eyes skipped over Lin Feng and fell on the others.
The purpose of his doing this was to show that he did not know Ryan Wood.
"I'm Lin Feng. I'm here on behalf of the Magic Tower. I have something important to discuss with the Star-Moon Emperor." Lin Feng said.
Smart's gaze then fell on Lin Feng.
Although he had seen the wanted portrait of Lin Feng before, he was still very surprised to see his young face up close.
Especially the badge on the opponent's chest, which could emit bright light even at night, made his heart surge with emotion.
Who would have thought that Ryan Wood is now a legendary magician.
"Sir Lin Feng, it's getting late and His Majesty has gone to bed. I'm Smart, a civil servant serving His Majesty. I have prepared rooms for you. Please follow me into the palace." Smart said with a friendly expression and bowed slightly.
"Going to bed so early?" Gotha frowned. "We waited for a long time, but he fell asleep."
"What is your name, Excellency?" Smart's face was displeased. How dare anyone speak ill of the Star-Moon Emperor in front of him? It was simply blasphemy!
"My name is Goda, and I'm from the Golden Stone Island tribe of the Windfury Empire! I'm currently a member of the Magic Tower patrol team!" Goda took a step forward, and the momentum of the holy swordsman was approaching Smart.
At this moment, a dark shadow came like the wind and appeared behind Smart.
Similarly, the Holy Swordsman's might surged out, and in a blink of an eye he overwhelmed Gotha, forcing him to retreat half a step!
"High-level Holy Sword Master!" Gotha frowned. The other party was at least a 7-star Holy Sword Master, and his aura was much stronger than his.
"Gotha, this is someone else's territory, we should be careful with our words and actions."
When Lin Feng saw the holy swordsman appear, he was also startled.
The other party didn't come earlier or later, but appeared at this time. It was obvious that he had been waiting for them for a long time in a place where they couldn't see him.
It seems that ever since they came to the Star-Moon Palace, countless pairs of eyes have been staring at them in secret.
Even with Lin Fengzhun's strength as a legendary magician, there is no guarantee that there are no strong people of this level among these people.
Xingyue and Caesar naturally have enough capital to stand side by side.
"Dear guests of the Magic Tower, Emperor Star-Moon has ordered me to treat you with courtesy. But if you say disrespectful words again, don't blame us for not knowing how to entertain guests." Smart glared at Goda and warned him.
Get off the horse.
Lin Feng saw at a glance the reason why the other party did all this. He was taking advantage of the situation to warn them.
He didn't even give the Magic Tower any face. This Star-Moon Emperor must be something!
"Mr. Smart, respect is mutual. We are not here to cause trouble on behalf of the Magic Tower. Since Emperor Xingyue is not free until tomorrow, let's follow your rules!"
Lin Feng winked at the people behind him.
They represent the magic group. Even a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. The face they deserve should be given.
Smart's expression eased: "Everyone, please come this way."
Under the leadership of Smart, Lin Feng and his companions entered the Star-Moon Palace.
As soon as he entered, Lin Feng felt the rich magical energy hidden in the surroundings.
And in the darkness, there were at least dozens of swordsmen waiting with bated breath.
This is normal. After all, this is the residence and office of Emperor Xingyue, so it is only right to keep it tightly guarded.
After many twists and turns, Lin Feng and his companions were brought to a remote courtyard.
Next to this courtyard is another very luxurious courtyard, with the flag of the Imperial Knights of the Caesar Empire erected at the door.
"Mr. Smart, are the Knights of the Caesar Empire here too?" Lin Feng walked quickly to a position side by side with Smart and asked.
"Yeah, they've only been here a few days," Smart said.
"What are they doing here?" Lin Feng asked again.
"Mr. Lin Feng, I have nothing to tell you." Smart smiled, "Everyone, have a good rest. His Majesty will hold a court meeting tomorrow morning, and I will take you there then."
After Smart finished speaking, he nodded at Lin Feng and left.
Shortly after Smart left, a knight wearing the armor of the Caesar Empire walked out of the luxurious courtyard.
Then a sound of breaking wind was heard in the air.
