Chapter 146 Prince James

Dick did as he was told.

The captain smiled slightly, came to the door, opened it, and made a gesture of invitation.

Dick went in directly, and the captain closed the door again.

There was another middle-aged man in a formal suit waiting inside. When he saw Dick coming in, he said politely: "I am West, the butler of the palace. Dick, please follow me."

Then he said nothing more and led the way directly in front.

Dick followed behind, but he saw that the palace was very large, and there were soldiers guarding every distance.

After passing through another long corridor, the two stopped at the door of a room.

At this time, the butler warned with a serious face: "Demon Hunter Dick, please be careful with your words after you go in."

Seeing that Dick did not answer, the butler was not embarrassed, but just gently pushed the door open, bowed slightly inside, and motioned the demon hunter next to him to go in.

Dick would naturally not refuse. As soon as he entered, the door behind him was closed again.

Looking around quickly, the room was filled with candlelight, and there were six tall soldiers in full armor in front of him, with their temples bulging high, and it seemed that each of them was a hand.

They stood proudly with their spears on the ground, protecting a man in front of them.

The man was sitting on a big chair with his head half lowered. He looked to be in his thirties, with a delicate beard on his face and gorgeous clothes. He was rubbing two small stone balls in his left hand, and his right hand was casually placed on the long table, tapping the table lightly with his ring-covered fingers.

Seeing Dick coming in, he raised his head calmly.

"Sit down, [Dick of Crow City]."

"Are you Prince James?"

"Yes."

Another soldier immediately carried a chair over and placed it at the end of the long table. Dick was not polite and sat down after walking a few steps.

Then he raised his head, took off his quartz sunglasses, and looked at Prince James: "Excuse me, what did you ask me to come here for?"

"It's nothing big, I just want to chat with you and relax a little.

"Dick, I have no hostility towards you.

"Ivan was sentenced to death because he committed murder. Although you have killed mercenaries, it was only in self-defense.

"I just want to use Ivan's death to make some unruly demon hunters abide by the laws of our kingdom, that's all.

"Now Cato invades the North from time to time, and I received a letter from you to my sister a few days ago. It seems that the barbarians in Misty Mountain are not very honest.

"We must maintain peace at home to resist foreign aggression. I hope that we can reach an iron plate internally to ensure safety during my sister's absence in the North.

"Is this what you want to say to me?"

"That's right, and after you leave, you can take Ivan's head away.

"I have ordered people to put his head in a wooden box and sprinkle some lime to pickle it. I believe it will not rot for a long time."

"Then I really thank you for your kindness. But I have something I want to ask you, and I hope you can teach me."

"What do you say?"

"Excuse me, do you know the [Black Cat Mercenary Group]? "

Hearing this, James turned his head to look at the soldiers around him. The soldiers shook their heads, and then he looked at Dick.

"I don't know them. What is the origin of this [Black Cat Mercenary Group]?"

"They are just a third-rate small mercenary group. They wanted to ambush me, but I killed them in return."

"As long as it is a counterattack out of self-defense, I will forgive you."

"In fact, this is not the point. The real point is that I found a letter on their bodies. There is a seal of a real dragon spreading its wings on the letter, which is exactly the same as the pattern on the right chest armor of the soldier behind you!"

"Oh? Dick, do you suspect that I sent those mercenaries to ambush you?"

"No, if you want to attack me, you won't be so polite at this time."

James flicked the table with his index finger, and then said: "These soldiers of mine are actually knights of the regular knight group, called [Dragon Knights].

"I am the Grand Master of this Knights' Order, which has only been established for two years, but both the knights and the attendants are carefully selected from noble families.

"I trust them. These people will not act in private, so the main messenger must be someone else."

Dick was silent for a moment, then said, "Thank you for your explanation. If there is nothing else, Prince James, please excuse me."

The two dragon knights behind the prince saw that Dick's words were a bit rude and were about to scold him.

James raised his left hand to stop their behavior.

"Dick, I have something else to say to you."

"Please go ahead."

"You are still very young. I remember you are only 20 years old. According to the life span of a demon hunter, you can live at least three or four hundred years.

Then James changed the subject, "There are fewer and fewer monsters on this continent now, and you may not be able to be a monster hunter forever."

"Please explain clearly, I'm sorry I'm stupid and don't understand."

"Okay, then I'll be frank. I hope that after you return to the Monster Hunter Cult, you can write to me regularly and give me detailed information about the abnormal behavior of other monster hunters."

"You want me to be a spy?" Dick frowned.

"This is not a spy. Monster hunters should have disappeared long ago.

"In the past, monsters killed civilians and monster hunters killed monsters, but you monster hunters killed too many monsters. After many monsters were exterminated, this continent has actually fallen into a kind of ecological balance.

"In other words, we don't need monster hunters that much anymore."

Dick just listened expressionlessly and didn't interrupt.

"And you should also think about your future path. Imagine that one day, you no longer receive commissions. How should you live?

"Now as long as you do what I say, in exchange, you will enjoy endless wealth and glory in the future."

Dick's mouth turned cold: "Why don't you let Riven pass the message for you? She is also a court sorcerer, it should be more convenient."

"Although Riven is a court sorcerer, she is only my sister's court sorcerer and does not obey any of my orders."

"Excuse me, are you interested in [that position]?"

Dick's words were extremely rude, but James's face remained calm.

"I am not interested. Now I am second to none, but sometimes I have to prove myself and prove that I have enough ability to help my sister - your Queen Maeve share the worries.

"Even the establishment of the [Dragon Knights] is for this reason, so Queen Maeve doesn't know these things.

"There are some things that my sister can't bear to do. I will help her and I am willing to take all responsibilities.

"But don't worry, I am not going to destroy the Demon Hunting Cult, as long as they obey orders in the future. "

"I have said all I want to say. Now tell me the answer, Dick. Are you willing to accept the task I give you?"

When James said the last words, he leaned forward, showing the majesty of the superior, and the dragon knights around him also cooperated, slamming the tail of their spears heavily to the ground.

Awe-inspiring!
