Chapter 2517 Reprimand

Master Dewey and Elder Priscilla neither spoke anymore, but looked at each other. Elder Priscilla even looked at me as if he was looking at a madman.

After a long silence, Master Dewey stood up, patted me on the shoulder and said: "Young people have lofty ideals and grand dreams. This is a good thing and should be encouraged. However, this road is full of thorns and thorns, and we need to take it step by step. Move forward, don’t be in a hurry.”

I understand, Master Dewey is warning me, don’t be stupid and risk your life for such an almost impossible thing.

Hey, what is the generation gap? This is the generation gap!

With my active new thoughts, the ideas I came up with were simply not acceptable to Elder Priscilla and Master Dewey, who had already solidified their thoughts.

They have been steady and cautious all their lives, but in the end, they have been shrinking in their own shells, never showing their heads, because they are afraid, they are afraid.

What they fear is not only unknown threats, but also past experiences. They still cannot get rid of the records of the apostles in historical documents, and they still cannot exclude the apostles from the list of disasters.

Even Master Dewey, who has arrogant talent, extremely broad vision, and extremely knowledgeable knowledge, still cannot escape from this circle.

Is this a sadness?

maybe.

I didn't continue, because I knew that when I revealed the name 'Fire Devourer Antoun', the incomprehensible fear would appear on the faces of Master Dewey and Elder Priscilla again. expression.

It was that strange expression of confusion and fear.

I don't want to see this look, I even hate it.

So I plan to communicate with Antun secretly. It would be better if we can form an alliance.

But before that——

The day after returning to Moonlight City, less than twenty-four hours after being reunited with my family, I immediately boarded the airship and headed to Yorktown alone.

After getting off the airship, I went straight to York Seoul Palace.

This trip was much smoother than the last time. There were not even any inquiries. It was almost a green light all the way.

I thought to myself: Did all the garrison forces of the Seoul Imperial Palace go on vacation? Or have they resigned? Why is the level of alert so low?

As I approached the palace, I met the head guard who came to greet me. I expressed my doubts to him with doubts.

The head guard smiled politely and said: "You are worrying too much. It is not that the palace's defense force has weakened, but that His Majesty has temporarily ordered a change of guard personnel a day ago, secretly promulgated your personal portrait, and secretly issued an edict that any As long as people see you, they will let you go immediately without any obstruction, and it is precisely because of this that you can come here unimpeded."

It turns out that all this was prepared by Simmons Locke in advance. My uncle was really thoughtful.

Quickly arriving at the door of the palace, the head guard stepped aside and said respectfully: "Your Majesty is inside, please."

Nodding and smiling at him, I straightened my clothes and strode into the monarch's palace.

To this day, I have entered countless palaces and bedrooms, and I am already familiar with them.

Entering the main entrance, the first thing you see is a pair of statues of unknown monsters. The whole body is made of gold, with silver embellished patterns. Ruby is the eyes, obsidian is the teeth, and crystal is the scales.

These two monsters are huge, fierce and fierce. If they are real, it must be quite difficult to fight against them.

More than ten steps in, there is a nanmu table with a square body. On it are placed musk for deodorizing, a plate of dried fruits, a teapot, four teacups, a jade pen, and a stack of white teapots. On the paper, there were a few lines of small characters written on the paper, which were common in the Japanese continent. The content was 'About the construction of city defense in Seoul, York.'

There are four pear wood chairs placed on the four sides of the table. They are carefully made and have clear texture. They are not so much chairs as they are works of art that can sit on people.

But at this moment, these four pieces of art that can sit on people are being placed crookedly. Not only do they have no artistic sense at all, but they are also quite harmful. One of them even spans the two halls inside and outside the palace, becoming a A 'bridge' was built between the two halls.

In the inner hall of the palace, Simmons Locke was wearing casual clothes and was leaning on a wicker chair sipping coffee.

The aroma is elegant and slowly curls up, spreading to every corner of the hall.

Sniffling, I also wanted to drink coffee, so I shouted to the outside of the hall: "Help get a cup of coffee!"

After a while, the aroma of coffee became stronger. The head guard was waiting at the door of the inner hall with a cup of steaming strong coffee in his hands, but refused to take a step forward.

I had no choice but to stand up and take the coffee, thank him with a smile, and the head guard respectfully said "I don't dare" and left in a hurry.

"Uncle, what's going on? Why doesn't your chief bodyguard even dare to enter the inner palace?"

I asked curiously while sipping my coffee.

"Don't say they are, even my concubines and even my biological sons are not qualified to enter this inner palace without permission."

Simmons Locke said slowly.

"Huh? Why didn't you tell me earlier! I'd better quit to avoid violating the ban."

While talking, I pretended to walk out.

Simmons Locke didn't point out my hypocrisy, he just looked at me with a smile.

I asked for trouble, found a chair, sat down, and asked, "Why don't you let your son and concubines in? They are your flesh and blood!"

"Before the monarch, flesh and blood are ruthless. Haven't you heard this sentence?" Simons Locke put down his coffee cup and sighed: "We are all a family anyway, and I can't hide this from you. I have encountered more than ten people. assassinations, and the real culprits of these assassinations are my concubines and sons."

"Huh? You're so brave, aren't you!" I lost my voice: "Didn't you deal with them?"

"As you said, one side is my woman, and the other side is my flesh and blood. Tiger poison doesn't even eat its seeds, let alone a human being?"

Speaking of this, Simmons Locke said quietly: "It's better to save that girl Bai Yunying, I can't wait to pass the throne to her."

"Don't bother me!" My mind got hot and I blurted out: "I already have a queen fiancée, and the pressure is already huge. If another one comes, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it."

"Huh, you're still under a lot of pressure?" Simmons Locke didn't believe it at all: "If you were really under pressure, you wouldn't run around the world and make friends with people you shouldn't mess with. I think you're not too stressed. But it’s because I’m too busy, I’m so busy!”

I protested: "I am your nephew and grandson-in-law, do I need to be so merciless?"

"It is precisely because you are my nephew and grandson-in-law that I have to say this, not only for your own good, but also for Bai Yunying's good."
