I Am the Fifth of the Four Demon Kings

Chapter 12

When Lu Ming left the village, many villagers came to see him off. Among them, Lily waved her hand to him, very reluctant.

Finally, Lu Ming and Lifa left here and went to Wangdu.

Wang Du is not close to the village, and there are no pedestrians along the way. Lu Ming simply takes Lifa and drives to Wang Du.

It was only around Wangdu that there were more and more pedestrians. Lu Ming put up his speed and a prosperous city appeared in front of them.

No matter how you look at the huge city, the high wall, and the continuous flow of residents at the gate, you can't compare with the small village that Lu Ming Road passed by.

There are more caravans coming and going at the gate of the city than there are in a village.

This is the capital of kings.

Lu Ming sighs in his heart and takes Lifa to the gate.

At the gate of the city, there are several teams of guards holding hands. Lu Ming takes a look at them. These guards are only junior soldiers of more than a dozen levels. It seems that the lowest arms of the kingdom are responsible for guarding the gate.

Entering the city needs to be checked. Lu Ming hesitates to take out the king's invitation, but it seems to be too high-profile.

To his surprise, before he made a decision, the guard saw the sword on his waist, changed his face, gave his companion a look in a hurry, and then ran into the city.

"Well, it's Wang Du. Any guard can recognize the sword."

Lu Ming make complaints about it.

It didn't take long for them to wait. An officer came down from the gate in a panic. Lu Ming saw that he was more than 40 years old. As soon as he appeared, the nearby guards who were at a loss because they saw the brave men calmed down. Lu Ming guessed that he should be the general responsible for guarding the gate.

"I'm sorry, Mr. brave. We're late. I didn't expect you to arrive at Wangdu so soon. Please go to the city."

The general, who was responsible for guarding the gate, lowered his posture in front of Lu Ming with a warm smile on his face.

The other side is a brave man. For him, he is an unattainable human hero. The general is also honored to have the opportunity to meet him.

Unfortunately, the reception belongs to the reception. It's not him who is responsible for entertaining the brave. The kingdom will send people of higher status to come.

"Valiant Lord, the king heard that you arrived ahead of time. He brought the royal banquet to this evening. During the day, please go to the palace and have a rest. Later, Duke cruise will receive you."

The general said that while leading Lu Ming into the gate, he was telling about the arrangement just given by his majesty. Unexpectedly, Lu Ming refused.

"No, we'll walk around Wangdu by ourselves in the daytime, and we'll go to the palace by ourselves in the evening."

"This..."

The general who is in charge of the message is in a dilemma. This is an order from his majesty. The Duke who is in charge of reception is the king's favorite minister in recent years. If you stand him up, the brave will have nothing to do. It will be difficult for him.

"It's up to you to decide your own business. How can a Duke expect you to wait for him in person?"

Seeing the general's appearance, lifer was immediately dissatisfied. The maid looked at him with dignity, which made the general pale.

At that moment, he seemed to feel death and his heart stopped suddenly.

Fortunately, the other side's eyes did not stay on him for too long, otherwise he suspected that before long, he would suffocate to death.

Hoo, you are worthy of bravery. Even the maids around you are so terrible. Even the Knights don't have such momentum, do you?

The general speculated in his heart, but he did not dare to oppose any more. Instead, he bowed his head and responded obediently

"Then, my Lord, go to the Duke, and I'll explain."

Lu Ming nodded and patted each other on the shoulder to comfort him

"You don't have to worry. When your Duke Crusoe comes, tell him that I must go by myself. You are trying your best to persuade me."

It's Duke Cruise

The general bowed his head, grinned bitterly and muttered in his heart. But Lu Ming was right. Since it was the decision of the brave man, it would not be changed because of such a small man as him. The Duke would not be too hard for him when he came.

"Come on, lifer."

After calming the general, Lu Ming and Lifa leave the city gate and walk towards the interior of the capital.

Entering the capital, Lu Ming found that the higher the terrain, the closer to the center, the higher the status of the residents.

There are also some stone and wooden houses near the gate. In the distance, the buildings gradually become tall.

In particular, the magnificent palace hall in the center of the capital stands like a city in the sky on the highest ground.

It saved him the time to look for the palace. At any time, just look up and you can find it.

When he first came to the capital, Lu Ming and Li Fa naturally took a turn around the periphery.

It's a place where people live. The roads are paved with uneven stone slabs. On both sides of the road, there are some awning houses, some fruit buyers and some grocery stores.

Occasionally, I pass by a few noisy pubs. It seems that these civilians live happily.

It's just that the atmosphere didn't last long, but it was broken by the sound of a horse's hoof.

There was a look of panic on the faces of the common people around. I don't know who called out, "it's Viscount Deco's carriage!", The civilians nearby were in a panic. They put down their things in a hurry and dodged to both sides of the street for fear of bumping into the Viscount's carriage.

In less than half a minute, a large carriage appeared on the narrow street. Two horses were running frantically. The coachman didn't care who they would bump into and "whooshed" out of the street.

Then the civilians came back to their places, and the streets became lively again, as if nothing had just happened.

The actions of the nobles are not for the common people to talk about.

Only Lu Ming looked at the carriage disappearing at the end of the street and muttered thoughtfully:

"It's a place where common people live, and it's not a way out of the city. What's the noble doing here?"

"Come on, Lifa, let's follow up."

Immediately, Lu Ming made a decision and took Lifa to the place where the carriage left.

When Lu Ming and Li Fa turned out of the street, they found that the carriage had stopped by the side of the road, and there was no one inside.

At an underground entrance in the distance, Lu Ming catches a glimpse of some silk figures. He pulls Lifa to catch up with them.

This is an underground staircase leading to nowhere. The entrance is only the size of one person. After Lu Ming and Li Fa barely walk down, they find a dark underground passage.

"Where does this lead to?"

Lu Ming said to himself that the figure in front of him had already disappeared.
