Wu Ye, who had just been teleported here and had not yet figured out what was going on, was questioned by two desert mercenaries. He nodded, and then they made a gesture of invitation, as if they were unwilling to say anything more.

"Are you two brothers waiting here for me?"

Maybe it was because the blood moon had just passed, and there were still quite a lot of adventurers in Lugain. So, it was not known whether the two mercenary brothers were unwilling to reveal anything and kept leading Wu Ye towards the palace.

After passing through the adventurer's exclusive area, Wu Ye came to the so-called aristocratic area, which is where the wealthy aristocrats stay. However, unlike the adventurer's side, there are not even vendors setting up stalls outside, nor is there an atmosphere of people coming and going. Instead, it is more of a dead silence, or you can hear some conversations from some mansions, but it seems that no one is willing to show up. It is really a bit weird.

Did something happen to scare these nobles? However, he couldn't know these things right now. He could only take things one step at a time. When he was led into this area, he felt as if many pairs of eyes were staring at him in the dark. However, these gazes didn't seem to carry murderous intent, but rather were staring at him directly, as if he were looking at some mysterious little animal.

But it's true that the local nobles and royal family of Lugaoin, who have always disliked adventurers, were indeed very curious when they saw Wu Ye being led here by mercenaries today, because they hadn't seen such a thing for many years.

"Two mercenary brothers, why are you so silent? Do these nobles just like staring at people?"

Wu Ye's back was truly crawling with fear from being stared at. Did these nobles just have nothing better to do all day? They just loved staring at people!

However, Wu Ye had heard another version of the rumor about Jie Hain.

It is said that when the demons came, Emperor Jerhain of Lugoin made all the women hide in the underground castle in order to resist the demons. Later, after the resistance was over, many women disappeared inexplicably, but no one could say anything because Jerhain just said "They left first." This was used to fool people.

But to know what it is like exactly, Wu Ye still needs to see it with his own eyes. Some people say that Jie Hain is a tyrant, some say that he is a wise ruler, and some say that he is a foolish ruler.

From what Wu Ye had personally seen and known so far, Jie Hain was a man who liked to play tricks and was afraid of death. Despite this, he seemed to attach great importance to his subjects.

"This is it. We will leave now. Please ask Master Wu Ye to go there in person."

Without waiting for Wu Ye to say anything, the two mercenary brothers were like machines carrying out their mission, refusing to say anything extra. If Wu Ye knew the discipline of the desert mercenaries, he would not think so. After all, they used to be bandits in the desert.

"It's really puzzling. How much manpower and material resources must have been spent to build such a huge palace! The people who built this palace must have been really rich."

Wu Ye was stunned for a moment when he saw the building in front of him that was as grand as the Roman Colosseum. This building was not for giants to live in. Why was it so big and flashy, and it was a waste of time and effort?

The guard at the door did not stop Wu Ye when he saw that he was brought here by desert mercenaries. Instead, he asked his name and let him pass.

After entering the palace gate, Wu Ye saw a man wearing a butler's uniform and a scarf on his head.

"Adventurer Wu Ye, please accompany me to meet His Majesty."

But to be honest, the attitude of this group of people is not that bad, and they are not as annoying as imagined.

"Thank you."

After all, we are not very familiar with each other, so saying thank you is just politeness.

As the butler led Wu Ye through the twists and turns of the palace, he almost felt dizzy. Is this a palace? Is this a maze? Who created this? Is it to make the enemy take more detours when attacking the palace?

Since these doors all seemed to be the same and no room was special, it was easy to cause visual errors. I don't know how the butler identified them, but he just led him in without any hesitation.

Then after walking for about a few minutes, I arrived at the door of a shady room.

"knock knock"

"Your Majesty, the person has been brought here."

The housekeeper knocked on the door a few times, then looked at Wu Ye and made room for him.

"come in."

When Wu Ye heard Jie Hain's voice, he almost thought he had heard it wrong. He originally thought Jie Hain was a fat man with a big belly and a greasy face, but after hearing the voice, he found it to be deep and powerful and not like that of a greasy uncle.

After opening the door, Wu Ye saw the emperor of this country, Jie Hein.

He also had a white gauze wrapped around his head, just like what he saw in the game. He was wearing a blue vest and a white robe. He didn't have any extra gold or silver jewelry to embellish his clothes, but was dressed very simply.

This first impression alone was enough to shock Wu Ye. Which emperor didn't wear gold and silver and wanted to be covered with jewels? He didn't expect this guy to be so simple?

"Hello, my name is Wu Ye."

Since Wu Ye didn't know anything about court etiquette, he simply didn't try it.

"Bold! You!"

The butler at the door was about to explode when he heard Wu Ye's rude words, but unexpectedly he was stopped by Jie Hain.

"Okay, Hai Bo, you can go somewhere else first. Elder Wu is my guest, and I allow him not to pay attention to this kind of red tape."

After all, Wu Ye treated strong men like Kasha as friends, not to mention that if he kowtowed to Jie Haiyin, wouldn't he be criticized by the old drunkard?

"Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Jay Hein. Thank you for coming, Elder Wu. Heber, please close the door. I need to speak to Elder Wu alone."

Seeing this, Heber had no choice but to close the door and wait outside without being disturbed.

"I wonder what His Highness wants to talk to me about?" Although Wu Ye knew what he was called here for, he still wanted to ask despite knowing the answer. Eh! He's just a fool!

Upon hearing this, Jie Haiyin smiled.

"My apologies. A few days ago, I heard demonic noises coming from the underground palace, along with ghostly sounds. This caused panic in the entire palace, and even the people of Lugain were worried. So, I had no choice but to ask for Lady Kasha's help. She said that I needed to wait until after the blood moon, and a man named Wu Ye would come to help me. So, I've been looking forward to your visit."

I have to say, the man in front of me is polite, gentle and generous. He is totally different from the incompetent and licentious man rumored outside.
