All Heavens: Start with Monster Hunter

Chapter 71 Balgruuf the Mighty {Seeking Follow-up Reading}
The gate slowly opened, and Gudov and Li Qing slowly stepped into this palace which was extremely famous in the sky.

Li Qing's eyes first fell on the facilities inside the palace.

I can only say that he is worthy of being a lord. Although most people of this era still live in houses built of stone, it is obvious that the Longxiao Palace is different.

The floor was covered with a carpet of unknown animal, but it was obviously a gorgeous and precious carpet.

Murals are hung on the surrounding walls, and on the wooden bookshelves are a row of books that ordinary people have no chance of touching.

At this moment, there are actually not many people in this palace.

Apart from a few guards from Longxiao Palace and two maids who were cleaning, there was only one person sitting on the high seat, looking down at the man below.

She wore a crown inlaid with red gems on her head and wore clothes that looked rustic but were the best in the world.

His body was slightly tilted to one side, with one hand supporting his head and the other hand holding a book to read. He looked lazy and it was obvious that he was not as surprised as the guard said.

Gudolf beside him had already lowered his head in a somewhat humbly manner, while Li Qing was looking straight at the guy known as 'Balgruuf the Mighty'.

In the game, Balgruuf is one of the few lords who does a relatively good job.

He is loved by the civilians in the territory, respects the opinions of his subordinates, and actively solves problems when encountering difficulties.

He had no airs of a lord and would even often go to taverns to drink with commoners.

He is also very nice to the protagonist in the game, giving him money, equipment and a house. The only pity is that his ability to teach children seems to be a little poor.

Therefore, his popularity is quite good, and many players even joined the Empire camp because of Balgruuf.

But for Li Qing, he has no special feelings for this Balgruuf.

I have traveled through several worlds, and the beautiful filters that once existed in my memory have long disappeared.

If they could become friends and stand on the same side, everything would be fine. But if they unfortunately became enemies, Li Qing would not be polite at all.

"Lord Balgruuf, I am Gudolf, and he is the warrior who killed the werewolf this time."

Gudov's voice echoed in the empty palace.

Balgruuf raised his eyelids slightly and moved from the tree to the two people below.

"Gudolf? I remember you."

"You're a good hunter, but you said this stranger killed a werewolf?"

"I want to know, how are you going to prove it?"

"This." Gudov was a little speechless and looked at Li Qing beside him.

He did believe Li Qing's words easily, but that was based on intuition. He could feel that the pressure coming from Li Qing was far beyond what ordinary people could compare to.

Even when I was serving in the military, I had never seen anyone who put so much pressure on me.

But these words and these feelings were only something he could feel, and it would be too unconvincing if he spoke them out loud.

Balgruuf also looked at the stranger Li Qing.

He carefully examined every inch of the Thunder Wolf Dragon armor on Li Qing.

I was more and more amazed in my heart.

A series of adjectives such as gorgeous, majestic, and shocking emerged in his mind. This style of armor that he had never seen before was obviously beyond his cognition.

In fact, when I saw clearly that Li Qing was wearing this armor, I already believed 90% of what Gudov said.

Now, all he needed was a simple test. Li Qing didn't understand so many tricks, but the things he experienced in his previous life and this life taught him a truth.

That is to do complicated things simply!

Seeing that Balgruuf seemed not to believe him, he raised one hand and placed it on the axe behind him.

Then he swung the axe violently, and the blade popped out on the ground like a hot knife cutting butter. With just two simple swings, the area in front of him was cut easily and neatly like soft tofu.

"Bang——!!"

Then the heavy axe hit the stone floor all at once, causing it to collapse instantly, with cracks spreading around.

"I think these should be enough to prove my strength, right?" Li Qing looked directly at Balgruuf under his helmet. His sharp gaze made Balgruuf feel a little cold in his heart.

But the next second, he started laughing.

He was not angry at Li Qing's rudeness, nor was he furious at Li Qing's impoliteness. He stood up and clapped his hands!

"Very good, very good, this is the warrior who can easily kill the werewolf!"

The noise Li Qing made also attracted the guards inside Dragon's Peak Palace, and they all ran out. Before they could make any move, they were stopped by Balgruuf:
"Okay, don't be nervous, first bring two chairs for our warriors."

Balgruuf shook his hand indifferently, signaling the guards to withdraw, and then he walked down from his high seat and came in front of Li Qing and Gudolf.

He first looked at Gudov: "Very good, Gudov, you are worthy of being my subject. I will reward you with some gold coins."

Then he looked at Li Qing with curiosity and inquiry in his eyes. Li Qing's dress and strength undoubtedly made him curious about Li Qing's origins.

But he was not stupid, so he would not ask directly and rudely.

He turned sideways and reached out to the table beside him, motioning Li Qing and Gudov to come over.

"Where shall we go to talk?"

Gudov naturally didn't dare to do that, but Li Qing was not polite. He strode over and sat down on the stone bench.

Fortunately, this is a stone bench, otherwise it would have collapsed in an instant if it was a wooden chair.

Balguff didn't pay much attention to Gudov. He sat down next to Li Qing, picked up a bottle of wine and gestured to Li Qing:

"Want some?"

"No." Li Qing shook his head slightly to refuse.

"Okay." Balgruuf poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip and put the glass down, then asked: "I wonder where you met the werewolf, can you tell me in detail?"

Li Qing did not refuse and told him everything that happened after he traveled through time.

Balgruuf's expression turned a little ugly: "Is that so?"

"I have an impression that Linxi Village has been almost completely destroyed. It seems that I need to send someone to ask them whether they need to merge with other villages."

But soon Gulbav's expression became serious, and the friendliness on his face turned into the majesty of a lord.

"But sir, although I appreciate your contribution in killing the werewolf, I need to know your origins and identity."

"You are very powerful. Perhaps even the most powerful warrior in Whiterun may not be your opponent."

"I need to be responsible for the civilians in my territory. If you have any bad ideas, please leave as soon as possible. I will pay you enough to take action."
