After being addicted to alchemy, the lady was kneeled down and licked by the Duke

At three o'clock in the afternoon, a reply came from King Clark: [The space ban has been lifted and the transmission channel has been opened. 】

Did Arthur need such a cumbersome procedure to visit Albert before?

Li Aili frowned slightly.

How long has it been since the last time I visited Albert in the royal capital?

Why is the relationship between the two parties so tense?

She looked up at Arthur beside her.

His Excellency the Duke is as enigmatic as ever, with no clues in his handsome and resolute profile.

But Li Aili intuitively felt that her husband was not in a good mood.

After receiving the response from the royal capital, the Duke swung his sword and cut a perfect 'square door' in the air like cutting tofu.

It's rainy in King Clark's capital behind the 'Sifang Gate'.

It seems that ever since Albert announced his return in a high-profile manner, the dark clouds over the royal capital have never cleared.

The tall black-haired man held his wife to his side, guarding her carefully, and stepped into the space door together.

Stepping out of the space door, two teams of fully armed undead knights formed two teams.

Seeing His Royal Highness Duke Arthur Shenglong, they all pulled out the ceremonial swords at their waists.

Swish swish!

The silver blade of the holy dragon forms 'Cambridge'.

Li Aili has been to the capital many times, and this is the first time she has seen such a battle.

The Duke's deep blue eyes looked past the silver sword held high above his head by the Undead Knight and looked straight at 'Brandon' who was standing at the other end waiting to greet him.

In other words, it is the male image of Victoria walking outside.

"When I come here, do I need to use this kind of etiquette to 'entertain' you?" the Duke said.

Brandon explained: "Your Highness, we are just restoring the glory of the Holy Dragon."

Indeed, the more prosperous an empire is, the more red tape it has.

Li Aili frowned slightly when she heard this.

She had seen such etiquette when she lived in Shenglong. Whenever the 'Pillar of the Nation' guarding the distant territory returned, Perkinmlin Palace would host such a ceremony to welcome them.

Even Li Aili, who had no experience in palace fighting, knew that Albert was using such a 'tactful' way to determine the status between him and Arthur.

He, Albert, is the eldest son, the first in line of succession, and the king of the empire.

And Arthur is the second son, a confederated duke, and a minister of the empire.

Li Ellie tightened her grip on Arthur's fingers.

Arthur finally came out of his thoughts.

Under the Empire's Silver Blade is a reward for those who have made meritorious deeds and a deterrent for those with ulterior motives.

Looking at the shining silver blade above her head, Li Ellie thought to herself, did Albert want to reward them or shock them?

After showing off his power, Brandon came up to greet him eagerly, "Arthur, Ellie."

The undead following him coughed. This guy was one of Albert's confidants. He seemed to be named Pandogli, and his father was the 'Copper Pillar' guarding the south.

The reason why Li Ellie was deeply impressed by him was simple. Lord Pandogli would transform into... every time he saw Arthur.

Pandogli: "Look who this is?"

"Look, isn't this our His Highness Arthur?"

Pandogli's tone was sinister, and the rich black breath of the dead on his body was about to turn into black flames.

……cockfighting.

At first glance, Pandogli really looks like a fighting cock with its teeth and claws spread out.

Arthur ignored the other party's provocation for thousands of years and said directly to Brandon: "I hope it's not to the point where I need to make an appointment before I can see Albert."

"Why not? You..." Pandogli still spit out ink, but Brandon covered his mouth in time.

Brandon smiled awkwardly, "Of course not, Arthur, you will always be blood brothers."

Arthur looked at Brandon with his blue eyes, "Oh, it turns out he still regards me as his brother."

Brandon looked away and made a 'please' gesture, "Your Highness has been waiting for a long time, Your Highness Arthur."

Li Ellie was nearby and saw their conversation, and felt that Brandon and Arthur were not as close as before.

In the platinum palace, there is a death knight in five steps, and a necromancer in ten steps. The main one is 'patterned'.

Albert was like the original emperor, either on the road to war or 'camping' in his study.

The door to the study room is wide open, and there are stacks of documents waiting for comments on the desk facing the door.

There were so many documents, and with Li Aili's height, she could not even catch sight of Albert, who was buried behind them.

"Ellie, Arthur, you are here." Albert stood up.

When he stood up, his bones made a crunching sound.

"...Hiss, I seem to have been sitting for too long." Albert tried to twist his waist while controlling the floating quill, and wrote down a document - 'hanging'.

Li Aili's eyes moved up from the brisk handwriting.

He quickly glanced at the contents of the document.

Probably in the Poncea Empire, which was occupied by the undead army, some nobles drank privately in an attempt to sacrifice to the God of Dionysus...

There was a long list of names on it, occupying 2/3 of the parchment, and Li Aili felt her scalp numb.

"Ellie?" Albert looked at her gently.

Li Aili stopped her divergent thinking, rolled up the parchment again, and placed it in the pile of "processed" documents.

"I ask again, is the trip to the dungeon interesting?" Albert asked again patiently.

Accompanied by the sound of bones creaking and creaking, the undead attendant immediately cleared the coffee table in the sitting area of ​​the study and placed the various desserts brought there, and of course, a large pot of steaming highland black tea.

The deceased carefully held the spoon of the sugar bowl, and looked at Li Aili with his dark eyes, as if asking "how many spoons of sugar."

"One spoonful, thank you."

Li Ellie turned to look at Albert, "It's not very beautiful, Albert, we are going to save people."

Albert added spoonfuls of sugar to his tea cup until the sugar settled at the bottom of the cup and could no longer dissolve.

Li Aili: "……………………" So sweet.

He picked up the tea cup and took a sip slowly, "That's a pity. There are still many fun places in the dungeon, except for the 'unique' food."

The Duke looked at Albert and suddenly said, "How did you know we went to the underground city?"

Albert's hand stirring the tea didn't pause at all, "Gilman Noah is always very gossipy."

Just like that, the brothers were speechless again.

For a while, the study was quiet and only the faint sound of drinking tea could be heard.

"Albert, the Dionysian fell..."

"It's me." Albert admitted this matter in a relaxed tone, as if talking about when the rain outside the window would stop.

"..."

Li Aili said: "Didn't Arthur tell you? If this happens, the boundary will be unstable..."

Albert put down the teacup in his hand and leaned back on the sofa, the fire of his soul burning in his eyes.

"why?"

Li Aili was confused by this question.

"I mean, why should I care about the lives of irrelevant people?"

Albert smiled gently, "I mean, thousands of years ago, my fathers, brothers and sisters used their lives to protect those who were insignificant."

“But in the end, how do they repay us?”
