The next afternoon, Allen followed Julian into Triumph Palace. Today, Triumph Palace was much quieter. The afternoon sun left brilliant golden spots in the palace, and the shiny ground reflected Allen and Julian's figures. The epic mural on the dome was still dignified, but there was a ferocious head on the east wall of the palace.
Absolute Shadow.
The royal alchemist had already made the necessary treatment of Absolute Shadow's head so that it still looked lifelike, especially after using some mysterious material to brighten the three eyeballs of the demonic wolf. Absolute Shadow seemed to come to life, making people feel that this demonic wolf could break through the wall at any time.
Tangerio was standing to the side, watching as he personally hung the head of the demonic wolf on the wall and adjusted it according to his wishes. Hearing the sound of footsteps, the Great Emperor turned around and smiled, "You're here. Look at this guy. You know, when I was young, I once went up the mountain to look for Absolute Shadow. Unfortunately, I didn't run into him. Otherwise, you little fellows wouldn't have anything to do with it. "
Julian smiled and said, "Unfortunately, it met Earl Allen."
"Fortunately, that's the case. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to hang this guy's head in Triumph Palace." Tangerio gestured to Julian, "Go to the treasury to receive your reward, good child. I want to talk to Earl Allen alone."
"As you wish." Julian secretly patted Allen on the shoulder, then bowed and retreated, turning around and leaving Triumph Palace.
Tangerio looked at Absolute Shadow's head and said, "This guy is agile enough and powerful enough. He is simply a perfect beast and a work of art."
Allen didn't know what the Emperor wanted to say to him, so he didn't dare to answer casually. Tangerio didn't care and continued to look at Absolute Shadow. "Where were you when Howson fought this demonic wolf in Absolute Shadow's lair?"
"Nearby, Your Majesty." Allen said frankly.
"You're quite honest. Then tell me, why didn't you join the battle?"
Allen said indifferently, "His Highness Howson wants to use me to find out where Vanishing Shadow is, and he wants us and Vanishing Shadow to fight each other and then take advantage of the situation. Unfortunately, I saw through it in advance, so I played a little trick and let Shadowless and Her Highness encounter each other, while we wait on the side for an opportunity to act. Thanks to Your Highness, Shadowless was completely distracted by them, so I was able to kill him easily. "
"Count Allen really has a plan, but because of it, I lost a few elites in the army!" Tangerio said in a deep voice, his tone containing a hint of reprimand.
Allen looked at the Great Emperor. "But the First Prince has returned."
Tangerio turned around, his eyes as sharp as swords, piercing straight at Allen. The latter lowered his head slightly, but did not move. After a while, the great emperor said, "Do you know that if you hadn't killed Vanishing Shadow, you wouldn't have had to come back? Vanishing Shadow's lair is your grave! "
Allen said flatly, "This kind of thing will never happen, at least not in front of me."
"Oh?"
"Even a Sir of the Empire can't die under a conspiracy, so a prince is naturally even more so. Although I serve His Highness Julian, I don't have to kill His Highness Howson for this. "
Tangerio nodded and said in a slow tone, "The competition between the princes is naturally cruel. But if the prince can harm me at will because of this, then he has crossed my bottom line! You did a good job. You helped Julian win first place in the spring hunt and saved Howson's life. You can be considered loyal to the royal family. I never mistreat loyal people, so Count Allen, no matter what Julian will reward you. Here, I will give you another chance to reward you. You can ask for anything. Of course, I won't agree to anything that's too much. "
Before coming here, Julian had already hinted that the Great Emperor would give him an extra reward, so Allen was not surprised. He had also thought about what he wanted. Hearing Tangerio's words, he was not polite and said respectfully, "I would like to ask Your Highness to keep Dragon Spear Town and return the High Azure to their peaceful home."
Tangerio clearly did not expect Allen to make such a request. He was stunned and asked, "Dragon Spear Town? High Azure? Let me think. Oh, I remember. They resisted at the beginning of the empire's establishment, but didn't they submit to the empire later? I remember that their spear forging skills are pretty good. "
'That's right, it's them. I happened to pass by Dragon Spear Town and heard that the local lord, Marquis Pierre, wanted to expropriate their land and order Dragon Spear Town to move elsewhere. However, the High Azure have lived here for generations, and they are unwilling to leave their homeland. This time, their clansmen came with me, but they didn't have the chance to see His Majesty. I promised them that if I had the chance to see His Majesty, I would raise this matter for them. "
Tangerio looked at the young man in front of him. "So you plan to use my reward on this matter? Don't you think it's a waste, Count Allen? "
"It can give the residents of a town a carefree home, so that the elderly and children don't have to be homeless, so it won't be wasted."
"Alright, I agree to this. If Marquis Pierre really has such an idea, I'll make him give up on it. However, the promise to the High Azure was personally promised by my ancestors, and it is also my responsibility as a king. It's my duty to give them a home, not yours. So this is not part of the reward. Think of something else. "
This time, Allen was in a difficult position. He said awkwardly, "Then can Your Majesty owe me for now? I can't think of anything for the time being."
Tangerio laughed and pointed at Allen, shaking his head, "I've never owed anyone anything. Alright, you're the first. Count Allen, you can come to the palace to find me at any time when you've thought about it. "
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Coming out of Triumph Palace, Allen was in a good mood. After arriving at the imperial capital, he had been so busy that he could count the number of times he had seen Tangerio with five fingers. He had no chance to raise the matter of Dragon Spear Town to him. Now that he had finally taken this opportunity to talk to the Great Emperor alone, he received Tangerio's promise. He had finally fulfilled his promise to the High Azure Race. When he brought the news back, Pyro and the others were overjoyed. Big Hulk even danced the ancient tribal dance on the spot.
"Lord Allen, it's all thanks to you this time. Otherwise, we wouldn't know what to do. Dragon Spear Town owes you a huge favor. Tell me, how should we repay it? "Pyro said excitedly as he grabbed Allen's hand.
Allen shook his head and said, "Don't say that. Just treat it as me compensating for the disaster caused by the icy wind."
At this moment, Edward's voice sounded, "Wait, I don't agree with your decision, Lord Allen." The Maritan walked over with a smile and looked at Pyro. "I think it's better if Dragon Spear Town owes us a favor. At least, Mr. Pyro and the mayor shouldn't refuse to let our trade route pass through the town."
Pyro didn't react for a moment. "What trade route?"
