Chapter 878 Negotiation
"Oh... I''m so sorry...!"
The girl who woke up again stood in front of Duanmuhuai with a smile, constantly lowering her head to apologize.
"I just thought you were the general of the demon clan who led those dragons, so I accidentally took action... After all, look, you look like this...hahaha..."
"Is that the princess that others call?"
Duanmu Huai looked at the girl in front of her. I have to say that although she was a crazy girl, she looked pretty good. She also looked lively and cute. Duanmu Huai had really seen this type--well, for some reason, he smelled a familiar smell from this girl...
"Yes, hello, my name is Ainisefia. Vin Paretia. Just call me Ainise. Are you the Iron Warrior you call?"
"That''s right, I''m Duanmu Huai, this is Aojisi."
"Um………"
Ainisfia turned around Duanmuhuai twice, looking at the power armor on his body curiously.
"What a strange armor, I''ve never seen it before, it''s like a robot... nothing, but how did you fly up? Do you use magic?"
"Of course not, I have my own way."
Duanmuhuai said as she pointed to the jet backpack behind her. When Duanmuhuai''s answer was heard, Ainisfia''s eyes glowed.
"Wait, that is, this will make you fly? Can you let me see the structure inside?"
"Of course not."
Duanmu Huai decisively rejected Ainisefia''s request. Just kidding, the power of the judge is something you can watch just by wanting to?
"Hey? Please! I''m just looking at it, I won''t be able to do anything."
"Just kidding, do you think I will believe what you said?"
"I''m the princess of this country?"
"Princess with a name but not a truth, why do you think I will listen to you well?"
Duanmu Huai doesn’t care about the other party’s threat. He is just an indigenous princess on a local planet, and he is still the kind who has no power. He dares to have bad ideas about the judge’s equipment? Really impatient.
"Why………"
Seeing Duanmuhuai insisted on refusing to let go, Anisfia sighed helplessly.
"Okay, but this is really a direction I haven''t thought about. Indeed, if it is this kind of equipment, it can liberate your hands and move flexibly... Ah, by the way, my material -! Mr. Duanmu, then let''s see you again!"
While making a strange shout, Anisfia turned around and left quickly. Seeing the princess leaving like a gust of wind, Duanmu Huai also shrugged and looked at Ojisi.
"Do you think she looks very similar to someone?"
"install."
"Yes, are magic geniuses all have similar problems?"
Duanmu Huai curled his lips. In fact, although he only talked to the princess named Anisfia, the other party gave him the same feeling as An, lively and active, unable to calm down, and he would get in after seeing something fascinating...
"Forget it, it has nothing to do with us. Go back, Aojis."
“Yes, master.”
After that, Duanmu Huai and Aojisi returned to the hotel to rest. For them, this was just an ordinary battle.
Unfortunately, this is not the case.
The next morning, a guard wearing royal armor came to the door, saying that His Majesty the King hoped to meet with the hero who defeated the dragon group last night. So in desperation, Duanmu Huai had to bring Aojisi to the palace.
In the palace hall, Duanmuhuai met the king who ruled the country - Orphin Il Paretia.
The man sitting on the throne is indeed somewhat of a kingly style, but Duanmu Huai is still standing there, staring at the man in front of him with his head held high and his chest raised. As for Aojisi, she just jumped off Duanmuhuai''s shoulder and stood quietly beside Duanmuhuai - she was not interested in saluting people other than Duanmuhuai.
After all, he is the great judge of the court, and even the emperor cannot make him bow his head, let alone the king of such a small indigenous country.
Of course, others obviously don’t think so.
"Bold, why don''t you treat your respect before His Holiness!"
Looking at Duanmu Huai, who was standing in front of the throne without giving in at all, the guards beside the king also shouted angrily. Hearing his angry shout, Duanmu Huai just glanced at him. The next moment the guard felt his chest as if he was hit by a heavy hammer. He couldn''t breathe and collapsed to the ground.
Seeing this scene, the other guards also drew their swords and pointed them at Duanmuhuai, but Duanmuhuai didn''t take it seriously at all. He just snorted coldly and looked at the king.
"What''s the matter with me? If it''s okay, I''ll go back first."
"Okay, don''t be so excited, this warrior."
At this time, the king also spoke, and at the same time he waved his hand and signaled the others to put away their weapons.
"If it weren''t for you, I''m afraid this royal city would have fallen into war last night. I would like to express my gratitude to you here... Speaking of which, I haven''t introduced myself yet. I am Orphen Il Paretia. Haven''t you asked the Warriors about your honorable name?"
"The Grand Judge of the Trial Court, Duanmu Huai, this is my companion Aojisi."
Duanmuhuai responded lightly, and when Duanmuhuai''s answer was heard, the king pondered for a moment.
"The Court of Justice... I''m ignorant, I''ve never heard of this organization."
"Of course, because the Inquisition has never appeared in this world." "But you are here now? Why?"
"Because the goal of the Inquisition is to protect humanity at all costs and to eliminate all existences that threaten humanity."
Duanmu Huai stared at the king and spoke again.
"Now, the demons are posing a threat to humans, so we are here to go to the north, completely destroy the demon king, and defeat the demon army."
"So that''s it, it seems that our goals are the same."
Hearing Duanmuhuai''s answer, a smile appeared on the king''s face.
"Since that''s the case, will Your Excellency the Judge be willing to cooperate with us?"
"cooperate?"
"Yes, maybe you have heard of it. Just soon after, my son Algard will personally lead the Paretia Kingdom Army to fight to recover the Northland Fortress."
It seems that the rumors in the tavern are really true.
Hearing the king''s words, Duanmu Huai''s face was expressionless, but he sneered in his heart.
"The recovery of the North is imperative. Only by reactivateing the great barrier of the northern fortress can the demons be prevented from continuing to move south. If it is just on the ground, then we still have a way to deal with the demon army, but the attacks from the sky are really not something we can deal with."
That''s right, ground warfare can be compensated with quantity and skills, but air warfare is another matter.
"So, when I learned that you easily defeated the invading dragon group, I thought of this. I hope that the Judgmenter can work with us to regain the North Fortress. After all, there are not many people who can fight in the sky and easily destroy the demons and dragons."
Speaking of this, the king''s expression also became serious.
"Of course, I won''t let you work, power, status, wealth, and everything you want. No matter what request you make, as long as it is within the scope of my ability, there will be no problem."
"Um………"
Hearing the king''s words, Duanmu Huai also thought about it. It was not surprising that the king would say this. After all, as I said just now, there is no one in this world who can fight against the demons in the air. This is also one of the reasons why humans are currently at a disadvantage, and it can even be said to be the biggest reason.
After all, the other party can fly kites in the air leisurely, but you have the strength above the ground but cannot use it. This is indeed annoying. Duanmuhuai repelled the dragon group yesterday and killed more than a dozen giant dragons. This is already considered a dragon-slaying hero - although strictly speaking, those giant dragons are just the level of ordinary people in Duanmuhuai''s eyes.
At least compared to the giant dragons I encountered in Manalia, these are just ordinary dragon species.
Even Dragon Roar can’t be.
But before this...
"Yesterday''s battle was not my own credit."
Duanmu Huai stared at the king.
"Yesterday, in addition to me, there was also a Miss Ainisefia who also worked hard to expel the dragon group..."
“Woo……”
Hearing the name Duanmuhuai said, the king''s expression changed slightly. Then he reached out his hand, took out a medicine jar from his arms, took out the pill and put it into his mouth.
That''s not stomach medicine.
"I''m going to tell you, that''s the little girl... In fact, this is another reason why I hope you can help me. I have always believed that the little girl''s random thoughts were just whimsical play, but the battle last night proved that she really had a way to fight against the demons in the sky - in this case, it would be inevitable that she would go to the battlefield, so... I hope the judge can take good care of her."
Speaking of this, the king sighed silently.
"Although the child is naughty by nature, he is my daughter after all. I don''t want her to have any problems in public or private matters. Although the child often makes me feel a headache, I don''t want to lose her. This is just a father''s request..."
"All right."
After hearing the king''s words, Duanmu Huai didn''t care too much, but just nodded.
"I will take care of her."
“Thank you.”
Seeing Duanmuhuai agreeing to his request, the king''s face also eased a lot.
"I heard that you are still living in the hotel. Since we are already in an alliance, will Your Excellency the Judge be willing to live in the State Guesthouse?"
"No need, I''m more used to staying in a hotel."
"Okay, since that''s the case, I won''t say much."
The king didn''t care too much about Duanmu Huai''s rejection of his proposal, but just nodded.
"If you have any requirements for the judge, you can come to me at any time. In order to protect the country, as long as you are within my ability, I will do my best to achieve your needs."
“So far, I just hope to go to the North as soon as possible.”
"Please rest assured, Your Excellency Judge."
Hearing Duanmuhuai''s answer, the king smiled slightly.
“There will be a chance soon.”
