Fairy tale: Little Red Riding Hood's wolf mentor
#99 - Meeting the King
"Little girls, you few, just sleep in this bedroom."
Although the old tailor's bedroom is only one room, it is not small. There are two beds in it, which should be the rooms where the old tailor and Seven used to live.
"Old sir, where do you live?"
Leike looked at the old tailor. In the old man's eyes, there was nothing but sorrow.
"I'll just sleep in the attic, there's a place to sleep there."
The old tailor pointed to the top, a stiff smile tugging at the corner of his mouth, and asked again, "Little girls, are you leaving tomorrow?"
"Yes, we should be leaving early tomorrow morning."
Leike replied.
"Well, little girl, thank you for your ointment, I feel... the wound doesn't hurt so much.
Tomorrow, I will prepare some travel expenses for you as a thank you gift, and put it at your door.
I'm a little tired and may sleep longer. After you take the thank you gift, you don't need to tell me, just leave."
After speaking, the old tailor glanced at the furnishings in the bedroom and gently closed the door.
The bed was soft, and at least that night, a few people slept fairly peacefully.
The next day, when she opened the door, Leike saw a small box placed in front of the door.
"Is this the thank you gift from the old tailor?"
Leike blinked and weighed the box in her hand. It was a bit heavy.
"What's inside?"
Poro walked up curiously. The box looked very delicate, with strands of colored thread woven on it, and it didn't look like a container that was casually found.
Leike gently opened the box.
Inside, a piece of red cloth wrapped a square thing.
She lifted the red cloth covering the top - the thing underneath made everyone's eyes widen!
It was a gold brick!
"This is... a whole piece of gold!? Is it real?"
Poro's eyes widened.
The old soldier on the side frowned, took the gold brick, weighed it slightly, and pressed it with his fingernail.
"It's real."
The old soldier Yin Wei said affirmatively, "A whole solid gold brick."
"This old tailor... is so rich?!"
Poro said a little puzzled, but then, he looked at the surrounding furnishings. The tailor's home furnishings were very mediocre, and it didn't look like he was so rich.
Unless—
In Poro's mind, the expression in the old tailor's eyes flashed when he left yesterday.
And... the old tailor's dim eyes when they first met.
"No way..."
Poro murmured in his mouth, he looked up slightly, looked in the direction of the attic, and a ominous premonition emerged in his heart for no reason.
The old soldier also realized something was wrong.
A few people walked to the attic and knocked on the door panel, but for a long time, there was no response.
"Force it open."
Poro said, his eyes suddenly shook against the door panel—
The next moment, the invisible magic light shook the door panel, making a shattering sound of unbearable weight, wood chips flying, collapsing inward.
A few people climbed up to the attic and saw the figure... dressed delicately, hanging in the darkness.
The old tailor had hanged himself.
……
Bo Ren's capital, the royal palace.
Gold and white bricks are combined into a majestic palace, and the murals on both sides are carved and painted with the posture of humans fighting giants.
"Your Majesty, the guests have arrived."
The leading guard bowed and saluted, then walked out of the room.
Leike and the others looked at the king sitting at the head. He was dressed gorgeously, with white hair and beard. Beside him stood a soldier in black armor with an eye patch on one eye.
"You few... are the warriors who killed a giant?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Leike lowered her head slightly, took out the giant's tongue from the bag behind her, and handed it to a guard next to her.
The guard handed the giant's tongue to the king.
The king squinted and looked at it carefully, then turned to look at the black-armored soldier beside him:
"Commander Ward, what do you think?"
The black-armored commander nodded and said:
"It's real."
"Well, you are very good, you are indeed rare warriors. You killed a giant and prevented more people from being attacked by giants. All Bo Ren people will thank you for this."
The king nodded, he waved his hand, and another soldier stepped forward, holding a tray full of gold and placed it in front of several people.
"This is the reward for killing the giant. There will be other rewards, but due to the special time, it will be issued at a later date."
After thanking the king, Leike began to inquire about the information to be conveyed by the deputy officer of the Giant Countermeasures Corps:
"Your Majesty, those giants are very dangerous. The leading human traitor Seven, he has mastered some of the inheritance of the Giant King, which is extremely dangerous..."
The king listened quietly to Leike's narration and nodded slightly.
Then, he turned to look at the black-armored commander on the side:
"Commander Ward, what do you think?"
"Our defense is already indestructible. No matter where that guy comes from, it is impossible to break through the defense of the capital."
A trace of pride appeared on Commander Ward's face. He saluted the king, then looked at Leike and others below and said,
"You don't have to worry, the capital of Bo Ren is more indestructible than you think.
And this time, I will personally deploy the plan and arrangement to encircle and kill the giants - I can't lose!"
"But..."
In Leike's mind, the large numbers of soldiers who were slaughtered at will by hunters in Aimu City, and the legendary national treasure of the Bo Ren Kingdom, appeared.
"Your Majesty, this may be a battle that determines the life and death of the Bo Ren Kingdom. Why not use the Star Killing Sword?
You can recruit excellent swordsmen in the army to use it. Such a weapon can bring more guarantee for victory!"
Who knew that after hearing the words "Star Killing Sword", the king's eyes inexplicably showed some subtle cold light.
"Everyone, the Star Killing Sword is our own business of the Bo Ren royal family. There are many complex reasons that determine that we cannot use it. As for the specific situation, you don't need to know."
Commander Ward, who was beside the king, also narrowed his eyes, and his voice became slightly mocking:
"Do you think that killing the giant will allow you to spy on our national treasure of Bo Ren?"
"Ah? It's not like that, sir."
Leike said quickly.
"It doesn't matter, I know you mercenaries very well. Whether this giant tongue is really your own trophy, or you borrowed the power of our Bo Ren army...
It doesn't matter, the reward promised by His Majesty will definitely be implemented.
Don't have any more wishful thinking!"
Without waiting for Leike and others to argue, the King of Bo Ren waved his hand.
A guard stepped forward, saluted slightly, and prepared to lead the people out of the palace:
"Everyone, if there is nothing else, please leave the palace first. The capital is changing, and His Majesty and Commander are very busy now."
