Chapter 925 The Devil's Nest (IV)
It is not unreasonable for King Lalit to be so anxious. Although he is also the head of a country, the "country" itself is only the size of a city. There are several "countries" on this island, and King Lalit rules
This "country" is a relatively weak one. No matter which world it is in, there will always be friction between powerful forces and weak forces, and it is no exception here. Although King Lalit is the head of a country
, but there are also concerns in this regard. Because on the other side of the White Rock Mountains, there is a country called the "Golden Eagle Country", which is also the most powerful country in the nearby area.
It would have been fine if the two sides never interacted with each other, but in fact, White Rock City had had several conflicts with the Kingdom of the Golden Eagle, and neither had gained any advantage. In the end, King Lalit had to bow his head and admit defeat. He signed a series of "
The treaty of "losing power and humiliating the country", for example, people from the Kingdom of Golden Eagle do not have to pay when they come to White Rock City to buy things and stay, and every year, White Rock City selects several beautiful girls and sends them to the Kingdom of Golden Eagle as compensation. Not only that, the Kingdom of Golden Eagle also requires White Rock
The city must pay 30% of the grain harvested every year.
Thirty percent!!
Even in the Klein Continent, whoever dares to make this request is enough to make people fight each other to death, not to mention in this continent with a more harsh natural environment, it will really cost the life of King Lalit. Last year he
Due to the oppression of the Kingdom of the Golden Eagle, he had to hand over 30% of the grain. As a result, the whole winter was extremely painful, so much so that Lalit himself, who was the king, had to lead his guards to go deep into the forest to hunt in danger to make ends meet.
Not to mention those ordinary civilians.
This is why King Lalit was so nervous when he heard that there was a possibility of no harvest due to insect infestation this year. If this year's food harvest failed, not only would they be hungry, but the Golden Eagle City might not be able to find it either.
Explain the method. Although he has managed to overcome this difficulty with the help of Zhan En, to be honest, King Lalit is not willing to give food to the Golden Eagle Country in vain if there is even the slightest chance - if it is not for the opponent's fist
If he couldn't beat him hard, he would have beaten him back long ago!!
So when he heard Zhan En say that he would help him improve the military strength of White Rock City, King Lalit was very excited. However, there was no response after Zhan En entered the forest. He was also very anxious. It was not easy to get it now.
After hearing the news, King Lalit immediately summoned the guards, then ordered James to lead the way and rushed towards where Zhan was.
The journey was relatively peaceful, and there were no accidents. The dangerous beasts that were originally hidden in the forest were also missing. Faced with this scene, King Lalit seemed a little surprised, but James seemed very calm. After all, before
He had seen with his own eyes the scene of Vivian taming the giant wolf, and he could guess that the dangerous beasts in the forest had probably been completely tamed by Vivian during this period of time.
But when James took King Lalit to the entrance of the cave in his memory, the scene in front of him made his eyes widen in surprise.
In James' memory, this place should have been a mess, with collapsed rubble, a dark and tall cave entrance, and debris scattered around. But now, everything in front of him has completely changed. It is dark and huge.
The entrance of the cave is covered by two huge stone doors with exquisitely etched patterns. On both sides of the stone door, there are three stone carvings that are three to four meters high. From the appearance, they are very tall.
They should obviously be warriors, wearing armor and helmets, holding stone swords in their hands. What is puzzling is that behind the bodies of these knights, there is a pair of eagle-like wings.
What kind of outfit is this?
Looking at the stone sculptures in front of them, everyone was a little confused. However, King Lalit was more concerned about his own affairs, so he just glanced at the stone sculptures, then turned to look at James and gave the order.
.
"You, go and call the door."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
After hearing King Lalit's order, James nodded, and then he rode forward and came to the huge stone door.
Originally, James thought this was just an ordinary task, but when he came to the stone door, James discovered that this task was unexpectedly more difficult than he expected. The reason was simple—how was he going to call the door?
Looking at the heavy stone door in front of him, James was completely troubled. Logically speaking, there should be guards on the left and right outside such a door. But here, except for the six stone sculptures, not even a ghost could be seen.
, how do you call this a door? Should you just go up and knock? Let’s not talk about whether this is a rude behavior, just looking at the thickness of this stone door, James can be sure that even if he knocks his hand off, I’m afraid he won’t be able to hear anything inside.
What a sound.
He thought so, but James still swallowed, lightly whipped his horse, and continued to move forward. He planned to go to the stone gate to see the situation first, and then make a decision.
And just when James was about to arrive in front of the stone gate, suddenly, the ground began to tremble, and then, a low, thunderous sound suddenly sounded.
"Who is it? Dare to trespass into the forbidden area!?"
With the sound of this sound, the two giant stone-carved guards closest to the gate suddenly stood up. They stepped off the base and crossed themselves in front of the gate. Then the two guards raised their hands like this.
He picked up the long sword in his hand and swung it through the air with a "whoosh", mixed with the sound of wind, pointing at James.
Faced with this sudden scene, James was also startled, and the horse under him neighed and stood up suddenly, almost knocking James over. Fortunately, James was also an experienced knight.
He hurriedly comforted his horse, which finally regained its composure. Then James raised his head, looked at the huge rock guard in front of him, took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and then answered loudly.
"I am James from White Rock City. Our Majesty received an invitation from Master Zhan En and came to visit him!"
Hearing James's answer, the two stone guards were silent for a moment, and then they returned to the base and assumed their original postures again. And just when James looked at the inexplicable scene in front of him and didn't know why, suddenly, there was a burst of sound.
A low sound of "rumbling" suddenly sounded.
