Chapter No.17 Heavenly Punishment!

"What about Li Lin? Although I don't agree with casually allowing unknown people to enter the sacred palace, but this is His Majesty's order, there is no way."

At dusk in early summer, in a room in the Imperial Palace in the center of Uptown, a tall man in pitch-black armor sized up the traveler with eyes that never dared to relax for a moment, and no emotion could be heard in his voice.

The palace is magnificent.As the residence of the rulers of the Millennium Empire, the marble sculptures of the Western Kingdoms, the dangerous specimens of the northern frontier, and the black pearls of the alien peoples of the South.The best of the best, the world's top rare treasures were collected by successive emperors in this small palace.Letting the entire value of this palace, you can even buy a big imperial capital.

But in this palace, the most valuable things are not these, and even to a certain extent, the Gundam-Guardian Mechanism, which can almost sweep the entire world in the original book, is not the most valuable thing here.

The most valuable thing is people, yes, it is the man standing on the marble floor in the hall in front of him.This family has guarded the empire for generations.Loyal, brave, and solid as a rock, they are the most valuable treasures in this palace, and they are a pillar of the empire that has never fallen.

The champion of the three armies, compared to Esthers who pursues killing, the general of the empire is more worthy of the people of the empire, and he can be called the backbone of a country.

In his heart, Li Lin commented on Bude in this way.

"Please rest assured, General Bude, I am an excellent citizen who abides by the law." Summoned to the Imperial Palace by the edict, the magician smiled and said to this respectable general.

"Hmph, a good citizen who hides his strength? I don't know whether you are a human or a dangerous species now." The imperial general with a pair of discerning eyes snorted noncommittally.

After the latter made no secret of the flow of magic power in his body, although he didn't know what magic power was, General Bude still sensed the danger from somewhere.

It's a different feeling than the super dangerous ones he encountered in his youth.Deep, heavy, bottomless.Even Bude himself didn't know how powerful this man was.But what is certain is that he is by no means the lucky one who got Teigu in the data.

Hence, the dutiful male is so determined.

If the smiling man in front of him made any dangerous movements when meeting His Majesty.Even if the benevolent Majesty does not issue an execution order, he will use the Teigu in his hand - Admiral to execute him.

"I'm an out-and-out human being. It's just a special human being. Don't worry about it." With a relaxed expression, Li Lin walked up to Bud familiarly and patted his armor.

What Ai Ge said before completely awakened him, since there is no need to hide, then there is no need to hide anymore.But torn or something...

Thinking of Ai Ge's excited expression, Li Lin had a headache.I feel that the girl said this purely because she wanted to see herself as handsome.

"Lead the way, General." But if the game is not satisfactory this time, it is not impossible to be handsome as Ai Ge said.Obscure and majestic magic power continuously poured into the earth, and Li Lin followed Bud into the destination.

----

"The defense is tight in every sense." Strolling in the corridors of the palace, Li Lin was escorted (surveilled) towards the direction of the little emperor's bedroom.

Originally, it was meant to be done, as long as they were strangers, no matter whether they were threatening or not, they should be watched at all levels in this palace.

"However, isn't that too much? Bude, you have no confidence in yourself, don't you?" Only those who have actually entered the palace know how strict the security is here.Three steps, one whistle, five steps, one post.In addition to the shadows hidden in the big and small trees, if the ordinary Tegushi, no more than one hand, trying to break into this place is completely sending food.

"It is our duty to defend His Majesty." Bud responded silently, and the steel-like man strode forward.

Wherever he walked, both the sentries on the bright side and the shadows in the dark all bowed down, saluting the strongest man in the empire from the bottom of their hearts.

"It's really enviable, Bud. It's a pure feeling of being admired by others." Li Lin, who discovered this with a slight smile, continued.

Different from the support he received in the name of God in the hellsing world, Bude received the admiration purely by virtue of his personal charm, but it was precisely because of this that he was enviable.

"This is the reward our family has received for protecting the empire for generations. It is also a proof of my loyalty to my emperor." Bud replied.

"Loyalty is commendable."

"Hmph." Bud snorted.There's no point in responding to something so obvious.

It's just a bit old-fashioned. For the sake of disrupting the country, the minister still adheres to the ancient motto that warriors should not interfere in politics.Li Lin kept a little pity for this unlucky general in his heart.

Of course, such words must never be said.

and so.

"How long until we arrive? The murderous look here makes people feel uncomfortable." Li Lin changed the subject casually.

"Immediately." Bud said, and then continued to walk a few hundred steps forward, turned three big corners, and came to a resplendent-looking gate.

"Your Majesty." Bud knocked on the door respectfully.

"Bud, please come in." A small voice came from behind the door.

So, Bude led Li Lin to the inside of the gate.

Behind the door, there were two figures sitting in front of a large table filled with delicacies from mountains and seas.

One of the figures was a fat man gnawing on meat like a ghost.

And the second figure is a childlike figure with small eyes.

"Your Majesty, Teigu brought Li Lin here." The steel-like man knelt on one knee towards the highest authority in the empire, with a humble and respectful expression.

"Thank you Bude." Nodding slightly towards Bude, the young figure turned to Li Lin's direction and asked, "Are you Li Lin? I heard that you have the Teigu to freely create plants."

"Yes, Your Majesty." He bowed slightly towards the highest authority figure in the empire.Li Lin was extremely rude and did not half kneel down.Then, under Bude's angry eyes, he just stood there quietly, waiting for the emperor's reaction.

"Oh that's it, that's really great, then in the name of the emperor of the empire, I want you to do something." The emperor happily ordered without paying attention to Li Lin's faux pas.

"What's the matter?" The magic power gathered in Li Lin's body, and the emperor's next words determined whether Li Lin would completely overthrow the big table of the world.

So, in the completely rigid atmosphere of the scene, the emperor spoke.

"Teigushi, make me delicious fruit, meaty ones."
