"Ro-Lente Castle" occupies a large area, especially the location close to the Francia Palace, which has a large area of gardens and vacant lawns decorated with fountains.

And now!

Unknowingly, a large number of people have gathered here, and they are surrounded by elite soldiers wearing full body armor.

The first prince, His Highness Barbro, the second prince, His Highness Zanac, and the third princess, Princess Renner, are all here.

Such a big movement attracted the attention of the entire Royal City. However, with the elite soldiers Interference on the periphery, plus the status of the two princes and princesses, even some big nobles could not get close without permission.

But the cause of the matter is not difficult to investigate clearly in this Royal City that is full of ventilation.

According to the information spread among the maids serving the princess.

The two adventurer teams "Blue Roses" and "Free Will" invited by Princess Renner had a dispute, so they planned to use adventurers to solve the problem.

On the empty green grass.

Everyone stood on the edge, staring at the two figures in the center of the grass.

The development of things completely exceeded everyone's expectations.

Renner Princess clasped her hands together, her blue pupils looked worriedly at the field, but deep in her eyes she was still calm, but there was something strange about it.

This was not part of her plan. Even the appearance of her two brothers did not surprise her.

Grass center.

Evileye and Tang Zheng stood in two opposite positions, looking at each other calmly.

Of course.

Due to the mask on Evileye's face, Interference and Tang Zheng cannot observe the expression on the other person's face.

"Things are getting a little more interesting."

Tang Zheng's eyes moved slightly, and he thought quickly in his heart about the trend of the whole thing in the slightly chaotic situation just now.

The behavior of "Evileye" was definitely not because of the Assassin magic equipment.

First.

Tang Zheng already knows the true purpose of Princess Renner, which is Slave Department of "Eight Fingers". It is not difficult to guess. When the plot begins, the proposal to abolish slavery has been passed.

But now it is just ahead of schedule. At the original time point, Tang Zheng could guess some of Renner's purpose of abolishing slavery, but the current purpose is even easier to guess.

The army being formed by Lainas!

Although Lainas has been formed now, the control of the entire army actually has nothing to do with Princess Renner, because it is the second prince who provides support.

It requires no money, no resources, and no people!

In this case, Renner will definitely take action. The fundamental purpose of inviting Tang Zheng is to show that she knows the connection between Lainas and Tang Zheng, so as to gain his support.

"Eight Fingers" is a huge piece of fat.

"Blue Roses" is nothing more than a bargaining chip, but also an invisible check and balance.

Everyone in "Blue Roses" probably didn't realize this. The relationship between Lakyus and Renner is too close, but Gagaran and others are different.

The arrival of the two princes could not be hidden from the experts present.

Gagaran suddenly asked Lakyus to talk about "business" because he didn't want Lakyus to violate Adventurer's Guild's regulations or even get involved in politics.

And then avoid the reaction when the two princes arrive.

It's just--

Evileye directly opened up the entire situation by saying "adventurers decide who owns the spoils."

It caught everyone by surprise.

The advantage of this is that no matter what the two princes want to do when they arrive, they can't continue talking.

"There should be another reason."

The Priest robe that hangs naturally on Tang Zheng sways with the breeze. He lifts his feet and loosens the green grass he is stepping on, allowing the grass blades to be exposed again:

"[Ninja]'s "Conceal Presence" passive ability can evade even magic detection methods."

"But facing Evileye, who is a higher level and possesses the Vampire race, you may be able to detect something abnormal intuitively, so do you want to try it yourself?"

The context of the entire process has been clarified.

Tang Zheng's eyes flashed.

Evileye watched Tang Zheng's small movements through the mask, and a deep accent came from behind the mask. "What are you doing?"

"I just think Battle, these flowers and plants will die a lot later." Tang Zheng glanced at the beautiful grass and said with some pity.

"Oh, do you want to "refuse" now, just like you refused twice in a row in the hall just now." Evileye spoke calmly, without any emotion.

Tang Zheng shook his head, raised his gaze, and looked at the short figure wrapped in a red robe opposite.

According to Renner's plan, Blue Roses will definitely assist in dealing with "Eight Fingers".

At that time, there will be a lot of benefits for Tang Zheng.

Not only can Imina take over more departments of "Eight Fingers", but it can also be used to master some new magic and technology from Evileye and others.

But!

He doesn't care about these boring things at all.

Now, Evileye is right in front of you.

And--

Tang Zheng's eyes became dull, he was not here to cooperate with this Golden Princess.

If you want to influence two adventurer teams with just words and Wisdom, you underestimate the "strong ones"!

He has always been in the palace.

They simply don't understand the power of top experts, let alone understand that these people will not be easily influenced.

Cooperation?

That is on the premise that both parties are equal, and Princess Renner is not worthy.

The simplest and crudest way to prove this is to show your power!

What needs to be proved from beginning to end is not "Free Will", but Renner, as the princess, who has to prove that she can serve "Free Will"!

"Language is sometimes feeble."

Tang Zheng looked at Evileye and said softly, "The most direct way of communication between adventurers has never been through language."

Evileye suddenly proposed Battle. Although it was beyond everyone's expectations, Tang Zheng felt that the timing was perfect.

Evileye raised his head, seemed to be looking at Tang Zheng seriously, and suddenly said, "Compared to before, I appreciate you a little more now."

"Huh? That's my pleasure."

Tang Zheng smiled brightly.

As the two fell silent again, an invisible wave of magic energy radiated from their bodies, forming a faint pressure that spread in all directions.

The people standing on the periphery had different emotions.

The loose flesh on the face of the second prince Zanac trembled, his eyes turned and turned to the side, revealing a worried look on Princess Renner: "What on earth is going on?"

"Brother, this matter is my fault."

Renner Princess put down her hands in a panic and bowed in the direction of the second prince and the eldest prince.

Golden hair falls down.

Princess Renner's dark blue pupils stared at the ground, with a terrifying desire flashing in her eyes.

The brief exchange in the hall gave her the satisfaction that Climb could not give her.

If the existence of Climb makes Princess Renner feel soothed in her heart, then Tang Zheng can understand what she said and know what she wants to do.

It was as if Renner was alone in a desperate situation in the desert. Suddenly someone stood in front of her and handed her a glass of water.

However, the situation before us.

Let Princess Renner realize that Lakyus cannot completely influence Evileye, just like she cannot influence Mr. Tang at all.

You can't keep it by your side like Climb.

This feeling... made her a little crazy.

Renner Princess stood up, the expression on her face returned to worry, her slender fingers clenched tightly, and her fingertips turned white due to excessive force.

Climb saw Her Royal Highness the Princess apologizing for this matter, and felt a little excited, and wanted to explain for Princess Renner.

But he knew that at this time, he must not speak. The situation in front of him had already damaged the princess's face.

You can't cause any more trouble yourself.

If possible, Climb hopes that Miss Evileye from "Blue Roses" can give the leader of "Free Will" a lesson.

Climb quickly suppressed his inner thoughts and looked nervously at the two people on the lawn. He still hoped not to fight.

This place is close to the Francia Palace, and nobles or foreign guests often pass by here. Royal Family has always advocated elegance, gorgeousness, and aristocratic style.

The damage caused by the two Battle will further affect the princess. It is not impossible to change the location to another training ground.

Climb feels that his mind is a little confused, and he feels that he is weak and cannot do anything.

"Really?"

The second prince Zanac stared at Princess Renner, with a half-smile on his lips. He suddenly turned his head and looked at the tall and burly first prince Barbro:

"Brother, who do you think will win between them?"

The first king Barbro narrowed his eyes and said solemnly, "Both of them are Kingdom adventurers. No matter who loses or wins, they must try their best to avoid it. If there is any damage, it will be Kingdom's loss."

Finish this sentence.

The first prince, Barbro, glanced out of the corner of his eye at the "Blue Roses" group and the "Free Will" group on both sides.

"Cut."

The second prince Zanac sneered inwardly.

Sure enough, even the stupid elder brother will be smart at critical moments.

The reason why the two of them went to the palace where Renner was located was naturally for the adventurer team "Free Will".

As for "Blue Roses", the opponent's team leaders Lakyus and Renner have the best relationship, and they have special status, so there is almost no possibility of winning them over.

Compared with "Blue Roses", "Free Will" has significantly higher value in the eyes of the two princes.

"Ahem."

The first prince Barbro coughed slightly and spoke righteously:

"Lainas, Gazef, you two, if there is any accident on the field, rescue them immediately."

"Yes." Gazef nodded solemnly.

Such a big thing happened in the palace. As Warrior Captain, Gazef naturally rushed over immediately and also protected the princes.

Lainas The corners of his mouth twitched and he said calmly, "Understood."

She didn't think she could stop her master, and she had never seen him use all his strength.

People like Kingdom are different from the Empire. They don't believe in magic at all, so they don't understand Terror's truly powerful magic.

The first prince Barbro put his hands behind his back and nodded with satisfaction on his serious face.

Gazef belongs to the father, and Lainas belongs to princess Renner, but there should be the support of this good brother Zanac behind them.

He had the highest status at the scene, and the two of them could not object to such an order. Even if something happened, it would not be him who lost anyway.
