The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Chapter 1438 - 416: Mercy? You? Demon King? (Part 3)

"Just a young lad wet behind the ears, the Great Sage sent him to deliver such absurd words, truly regressing with age."

"Your Majesty! We cannot pretend we didn't hear such insults! I suggest you write to the Holy City and let the Church Court arbitrate immediately!"

"Enough!"

King Theoden raised his hand, and the hall instantly returned to silence. The smile on his face had vanished, replaced by a noticeable dissatisfaction.

However, this elderly old-school noble is indeed a decent person, not worth embarrassing a young man, nor is it worth writing to the Church for such a trivial matter.

So he simply said to the young messenger.

"Our messenger gentleman has come from afar, must be tired and needs rest... Mister Skylar, take him down."

The Court Manager who brought Leon in bowed in salute.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Seeing the Court Manager approaching with two guards, Leon, unaware it was a step down, paused and eagerly argued.

"Your Majesty, I am not tired! Compared to resting, the threat of Chaos is imminent, we should discuss countermeasures immediately!"

"Countermeasures?"

Upon hearing these brainless words, a smile full of oppressive force suddenly spread across Theoden's lips, signaling the Court Manager about to take Leon away to stop.

The wide Audience Hall was silent, leaving only the majesty of this one king.

"The people of Ryan Kingdom are simple and value honor, no coward will ever sell their soul to Chaos! That is our most steadfast defense! As for your claim that I rely on the grandeur of Brass Pass? Ridiculous, when have I ever said my reliance is there?"

This young lad really understands nothing.

Anyone who has understood the history of Ryan Kingdom would never utter such words; none are more devout or traditional on this continent than them!

Even if one day the Empire abandons its faith, as the 'Land of Knights,' they will never abandon their yearning for Holy Light!

Theoden's withered body leaned slightly forward, his murky eyes fixed on Leon, speaking word by word.

"Since you say Chaos has corroded my people, then go find it and show me. I will give you a horse and let my servant follow you."

"You best find it, otherwise I will not pretend not to have heard what you said today, nor will I consider it a joke."

Intuition told Leon that if he refused, he might not walk out of this Audience Hall.

He swallowed, nodded shakily.

"Yes... Your Highness."

He wanted to say he was just a messenger, but now it seemed nothing he said would help; he could only blame himself for being too anxious and not being tactful with his words.

Theoden slowly leaned back on his throne, waved towards his Court Manager.

"Take him down."

He indeed did not wish to trouble this young man too much, but as a king, even for the sake of maintaining his dignity, he must give this lad a profound lesson.

Theoden planned to wait for him to return with his tail between his legs, throw him a 'celebration banquet,' and after humiliating him thoroughly, magnanimously let him go, showcasing his benevolence.

Of course, it would be better if this lad ran off.

Failing at his bluff and sneaking away like a clown is the best lesson for those arrogant mages.

"Yes..."

Skylar nodded respectfully, looking at the magic apprentice standing like a wooden figure in the hall, sighed slightly.

Perhaps he was muddled with age too, not as agile-minded as when he was young; suddenly, he couldn't comprehend the Great Sage's wisdom...

...

On the other side, in the sky over the Northern Wilderness, a uniquely styled airship was slowly advancing amidst noisy air currents.

Logically, this 'little boat' traveling between the mountains should be exceptionally bumpy.

However, at this moment the cabin was calm, not even the slightest sway was felt.

This was not because of Alberto's outstanding design, but solely because a mage with Diamond Level power was present on this 'Long-distance Traveler'.

At this moment, Luo Yan was leisurely sitting by the window, savoring the red tea freshly brewed by Sarah.

Compared to those floral teas with various ingredients in the Academic State, he certainly enjoyed the pure and simple taste, especially since the cat he raised always nailed his preferences perfectly.

Incidentally, the airship was currently in an 'unmanned' state, invisible air currents like transparent hands held the steering wheel and control stick in the cockpit.

Everything was under the command of Luo Yan's spiritual power and Magic Power.

Although Alberto enthusiastically recommended some experienced apprentices to him, seeing the young lads so excited they were incoherent, Luo Yan politely declined his offer.

This mess was better handled by himself.

Moreover, the prince's affairs were not suitable for outsiders to know.

Though it was his first time piloting this airship, he surprisingly managed it quite skillfully, showing no signs of 'capsizing.'

And his Diamond Level power afforded him nearly infinite margin for error.

Even if this airship fell apart the next second, he could wave his Magic Wand and have the entire cabin peacefully afloat again.

As for the turbulence from high-altitude air currents, it never existed from the start.

A layer of invisible Shield had long enveloped the airship, preventing migrating birds from accidentally crashing into the airbags and perfectly avoiding the violent gusts in high altitude.
