Soon, the palace maids went on stage to deliver the rewards.
At this moment, the entire hall was silent.
This was because the king did not give him a fiefdom this time!
This was clearly a break with tradition for conferring nobility.
What would Lin Chen do?
Then, Lin Chen accepted the reward without hesitation.
“Good!” The king stood up and took the lead in clapping.
Therefore, everyone in the hall, whether they were willing or unwilling, could only stand up and applaud warmly.
In fact, the scene just now was another power struggle.
Or rather, Lin Chen was conferred the title of Earl and did not want a fief…
His actions set off the prelude to another power struggle.
However, what did this have to do with Lin Chen?
He was about to go to the empire’s battlefield!
After the council, the king also announced that he would receive Lin Chen’s greeting in the palace.
Clearly, he was asking Lin Chen for the benefits Lin Chen had agreed to previously.
Lin Chen understood.
Then, he brought Gold Mu, Gold Tiger, and the guards to the palace.
On the way, Sword Silk was naturally inseparable from Lin Chen.
She was dressed in a heroic manner.
As expected, Princess Qingyue was also there when they arrived at the palace.
Without another word, Lin Chen took out his spatial ring.
The things that he had promised to give were all inside.
“Very good, Lin Chen. I admire your straightforwardness. Make many contributions to the empire’s battlefield this time. When you return, I’ll continue to promote you to a higher ranked noble!” The king was overjoyed. Then, he gestured for Lin Chen to leave.
Princess Qingyue smiled and said, “City Lord Lin, don’t be in such a hurry. Go to my residence and wait. We still have to sign some agreements.”
“Yes, Eldest Princess.”
Lin Chen agreed.
However, when Lin Chen and Sword Silk left the palace, they realized that an elevator had flashed and disappeared instantly.
In the elevator sat Princess Qingyue.
“That’s an elevator specially used by the royal family. Flying is prohibited in the Imperial Capital, especially around the palace. Too much speed is prohibited. We can only walk there,” Gold Spear hurriedly reminded Lin Chen.
“Alright, lead the way to the Eldest Princess’s residence!”
Lin Chen was speechless.
There were many rules in the imperial capital.
Gold Spear began to lead the way. At the same time, he reminded Lin Chen, “Commander-in-chief, Protector Duke wants you to report to the peak of the Heavenly Palace before sunset.”
“The peak of the Heavenly Palace?”
Lin Chen was puzzled.
Gold Spear said, “The passageway to the empire’s battlefield is at the peak of the Heavenly Palace. The Heavenly Palace is very big and can connect all the countries on the Blue Planet. There are similar passageways in other realms.” “You’re saying that the Blue Planet’s countries aren’t the only countries on the empire’s battlefield?” Lin Chen finally learned this information.
Gold Spear replied, “The empire’s battlefield is very complicated. There are probably more than ten thousand countries and races.”
Lin Chen was speechless.
No wonder people said that the empire’s battlefield was very cruel!
“Currently, our Dragon Spirit Kingdom has a Level 2 battlefield. If we want to upgrade, we have to enter the top three of a planetary battle to advance to a higher-level battlefield. The rewards for higher-level battlefields are more generous, but the enemy is stronger!”
Gold Spear explained some strange knowledge to Lin Chen…
Why was there a level system in the empire’s battlefield?
Lin Chen still wanted to ask, but at this moment, he heard a female shout. “You’re Lin Chen?”
At this moment, Lin Chen and the others had just left the palace.
Then, a loli girl appeared in front of him. She had fiery red long hair that was tied into a twintails. She was wearing a robe that only reached her thighs, and she was wearing knee socks.
She looked a little soft and cute.
However, the person who came announced her name. “I’m Fire Elegance… Are you the one who killed my grandfather?”
“Sister Elegance.”
“Sister… Sister Silk?”
Fire Elegance saw Sword Silk and started to call her name. However, her expression changed and she said in a low voice, “Hmph, you traitor of the family!”
“She’s not a traitor,” Lin Chen said.
That was because the little loli in front of him was the first Fire family member Lin Chen had seen to call Sword Silk as her sister.
Therefore, Lin Chen felt that Fire Elegance might be different from the others in the Fire family.
Perhaps… she meant something different to Sword Silk.
“Hmph!”
Fire Elegance ignored Sword Silk and seemed to be very angry. She looked at Lin Chen and said, “1, Fire Elegance, request to duel you to the death!”
A duel!
At this moment, Gold Spear, who had become Lin Chen’s full-time secretary, immediately came over and explained, “This is the rule of the imperial capital. Fighting in the city is not allowed. However, if one party sends an invitation to duel to the death and the other party accepts it, they can go to the arena together. This is allowed!”
Lin Chen understood.
This meant that as long as he did not agree, this young lady would not be able to do anything to him?
“I’m a descendant of the Fire Family. My grandfather was killed by you. This proves that he’s inferior to you. This is the shame of the Fire Family, so… 1, Fire Elegance, want to wash away the previous shame!” Fire Elegance continued to say. She wanted to fight Lin Chen to the death.
What was strange was that her reason was not to avenge her dead grandfather… Moreover, Lin Chen felt that Fire Elegance did not look at him with the burning hatred of killing her family.
Fire Elegance wanted to fight a decisive battle just to regain the glory of her family…
‘Fine!’
Lin Chen was a little confused.
“I’m sorry, with your strength, you’re not enough to challenge me! If you don’t believe me, you can ask her.” Lin Chen rejected the other party’s invitation to a duel. He felt that this little loli in front of him was quite interesting..
