Chapter 26
Lu Ji could naturally see through such a clumsy lie, but he had to pretend not to see through it, because Naofumi Iwatani's choice was the result he wanted to see.
"Yes, there is ambition."
While looking appreciative, Lu Ji grabbed a black invitation letter out of thin air as if by magic and handed it to Naofumi Iwatani.
"Hopefully you won't have to open it."
Then he looked at Otto Cree Melomag Thirty-two and the nobles near the throne again. While bowing slightly, he turned his left hand lightly in front of his chest.
"Since the protagonist doesn't want to have an extra scene, I'll take my leave first."
After that,
Lu Ji's figure disappeared into the palace as abruptly as he came, and no one present noticed how he left. Upon seeing this
,
Iwatani Naofumi immediately prepared to leave this disgusting palace.
But not yet. When he took two steps, a sharp roar suddenly came from behind him. The owner of the voice was Tracy McGrady who pushed Kitamura Motoyasu out as a shield.·S·Melomag.
The deputy chief of the royal guard looked back at the heavily protected king. Seeing that he did not stop him, he immediately led his men to surround Iwatani Naofumi.
Probably because the power of the mysterious young man from before was still there, the deputy captain of the guard did not dare to go too far and just surrounded Naofumi Iwatani.
"Why, do you still want to take advantage of me?"
A white aluminum shield emerged, with a faint green luster filling the air, forcing the surrounding palace guards to retreat.
Naofumi Iwatani turned his head and glared at Otto Clay Melomag Thirty-two, with no trace of fear in his decisive eyes, which faded away Anger welled up in my heart again
"Do it quickly! kill him!"
"Didn't you see that he and the devil were together? Kill him quickly!"
On the throne.
Otto Kre Melomag Thirty-two let Maddie·S·Melomag yelled, but he just kept a gloomy face and said nothing, just looking at Naofumi Iwatani below as if he were looking at a dead person.
Let someone kill Iwatani Naofumi?
He wanted to do this very much in his heart, but he couldn't do it now.
After all... the other party has the identity of a Shield Hero.
If he was allowed to die in the palace like this, it would be difficult for him to explain to his people, and it might even cause dissatisfaction in other countries.
The most important thing is... he is afraid that if he attacks Iwatani Naofumi now, he may provoke that terrifying mysterious young man again.
The two looked at each other intensely for a long time.
Otto Cree Melomag Thirty-two sat down again and said in a tepid tone:
"let him go"
"Father!"
Seeing that Otto Clay Melomag Thirty-two was going to release Iwatani Naofumi, Tracy went berserk because he felt the threat of death.·S·Melomag roared even more angrily:
"We can't let him go! He has colluded with the devil!"
But unfortunately, her roar had no effect at all.
Seeing that the other party was not prepared to take action, Iwatani Naofumi continued to walk towards the entrance of the palace.
Just as he was about to leave, Iwatani Naofumi suddenly thought of something, reached out and took out a dozen silver coins from his arms, He threw it at Tracy McGrady with a look of disgust on his face.·S·In front of Merromager
"You want this, right? Take it!"
Looking at the silver coins rolling to his feet, Maddie·S·Melomag was trembling with anger, and his beautiful face became extremely distorted, showing his ugliness.
But her father wouldn't let her take action, so she could only grit her teeth and glare at Naofumi Iwatani before leaving.
Outside the palace entrance.
Naofumi Iwatani looked up at the blue sky, but the vast field of vision made him endlessly confused. What should he do after offending the Melomag royal family and even the entire aristocratic class?
Subconsciously... he took out the invitation that the mysterious young man handed him when he left.
This was an envelope with a pure black background. The texture was so good that he couldn't describe it. There was also an extremely complicated pattern printed on the surface of the envelope, somewhat similar to a family emblem.
Hesitated for a long time.
Iwatani Naofumi did not open it in the end.
Because that mysterious young man feels too evil, and looks like the ultimate villain in a TV series, it is best not to open the things given by the other party.
At the same time, at the top of the palace.
Every move of Naofumi Iwatani was under Lu Ji's watchful eye.
Seeing that the other party put away the invitation letter again, he did not feel the slightest bit depressed. Instead, he had an intriguing smile on his lips.
"The dark side of the human heart is far beyond imagination, and now it is just the prologue."
Lu Ji did all this not to be a good person.
On the surface, it seemed that his appearance resolved Iwatani Naofumi's crisis, but in fact, it delayed and crazily aggravated the crisis.
In the original work,
Iwatani Naofumi was at best just After being framed and humiliated, the king's ultimate goal is to ruin the reputation of the Shield Hero and make it difficult for him to move forward in Melomago.
But now, what he will face... may be a fatal disaster!
Otto Clay... Melomag Thirty-two's unreleased anger and murderous intention towards the mysterious young man will eventually be transferred to Iwatani Naofumi, and the king's stinginess... is not something that an immature brave man can bear.
"Stupid king, I hope you won't disappoint me."
Lu Ji's voice echoed at the top of the palace, but he himself had disappeared from where he was.
……
The next day, early morning.
In a room on the second floor of a simple hotel.
Naofumi Iwatani, who had experienced the false accusation in the palace yesterday, could not fall asleep for a long time. He did not fall asleep until the rooster crow in the middle of the night. now.
He was still in a deep sleep. suddenly!
"boom!"
The closed simple wooden door was violently kicked open again, and several knights in heavy armor rushed into the room. Naofumi Iwatani, who was awakened and didn't know what happened, pinned him down on the bed.
Familiar techniques, familiar tactics It felt like a familiar experience.
In just a moment, Naofumi Iwatani woke up from his stupor and vaguely guessed what happened.
"let me go! let me go!"
"Bastard King! Bastard princess! What on earth do you want to do!"
The knight who came to capture him today was obviously more powerful than yesterday.
No matter how Iwatani Naofumi exploded, he could never break free from the opponent's control.
And at this moment.
A civilian official walked away surrounded by several knights Entering the room, he first waved the air in front of him in disgust, then unfolded the parchment scroll in his hand and said loudly:
"The king ordered that the Shield Hero first attempted to rape the princess, and then colluded with the devil to attack the palace, resulting in the death of several nobles and dozens of palace guards. Considering his status as a hero, he was deported after consultation, and the order was implemented immediately."
As if he was afraid that the people watching the theater could not hear clearly, the civil servant read out the edict at the top of his voice.
In an instant, his voice caused a series of shocked exclamations.
