Dean stepped into the palace and walked on the gorgeous red carpet to the top throne and sat down. There were many attendants and maids standing in the hall. All of them lowered their heads and secretly looked at Dean. Their eyes were full of fear.
Dean glanced at them and waved to a young attendant with a baby face not far away. "Who is in charge of the palace when Ulita is not here?"
The young attendant's body trembled. He symbolically moved a small step forward and stammered, "S-Sir, when Her Highness is not here, it is the National Master who is in charge of the palace."
"National Master? Isn't he dead? Who is the new National Master? Is he here? "
"Yes, he is."
"Go and call him over."
The young attendant's face was pale. He secretly looked at a young man in a dark golden robe.
The young man was standing with several attendants. When he heard Dean mention the National Master, his face turned ugly. At this moment, he knew that he couldn't escape. He simply took the initiative to stand up and salute to Dean. "Sir, I am the new National Master. You can call me Saul."
Dean glanced at him. The heat reaction in his body was that of a Limitless Being, but it did not rule out that he had controlled the heat fluctuations. After all, the former National Master was a powerhouse in the Inner Wilderness, so the new National Master should be a Pioneer. His voice was flat and unpredictable. He said, "When they besieged me, I didn't see you make a move. Is this a betrayal?"
Saul's face slightly changed. He didn't expect that Dean would investigate him for Ulita without asking anything else. He quickly guessed Dean's thoughts and said with a wry smile, "Sir, it's not that I didn't make a move, but I knew that my strength was low. If I rashly made a move, I would be at your mercy. I was looking for your flaws, but before I could find them, you killed them and Her Highness had to escape."
Dean knew that this person had a high EQ. He said: "There is a saying that 'a wise man submits to circumstances'. It means that the person who can see the situation and adapt to the situation is a hero. Are you going to continue to be loyal to Ulita or will you submit to me?" The original meaning of this sentence was naturally not like this but he could twist it to express his own meaning.
Saul knew that he had no choice. He knew that the outcome of the battle had been decided when Urita was forced to retreat several times. He pretended to hesitate but only hesitated for a moment: "I'm willing to be loyal to you!" Saul gritted his teeth and said: "Elder is right. I'm willing to be loyal to you!"
"In that case, come up."
Saul was startled. There was some hesitation in his heart, but he knew that it would be easy for Dean to kill him. So, he boldly stepped forward.
Dean stood up and gave up the throne: "You sit down."
Saul's face slightly changed. Only the wall leader and Ulita had sat on this throne. Although he was the national master but sitting on this throne was tantamount to treason! He immediately understood the meaning of Dean's words. Once he sat down there would be no turning back. If he didn't sit down then he would lose his head!
Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw that many guards and maids were looking at him. Among them, there were even a few cabinet ministers who were discussing in the palace. Once he sat down, although he was being coerced, if word got out, it would be hard to clear his name. This made him very hesitant. He really did not expect this loyalty test to come so quickly and so ruthlessly!
"What? Don't dare to sit?" Dean looked at him as if he could see the depths of Saul's soul.
Saul squeezed out a smile: "Elder, this is your throne … Isn't it a bit inappropriate for me to sit on it?"
"What's inappropriate about it? Since you have pledged allegiance to me then why can't you do such a small thing?" There was a trace of coldness in Dean's eyes.
Saul looked at Dean's strange eyes. He felt like he was being stared at by a viper. He bit the bullet and said: "Since you have said so, then I have to … I have to sit!" Then he slowly sat down.
Dean nodded slightly: "How do you feel?"
Saul smiled bitterly in his heart, thinking that it would be more comfortable for him to sit on a hot iron plate. He said in a low voice, "This throne is too honorable. It's not something a person of my status should sit on. It's better for my lord to sit on it." After saying that, he stood up and moved aside.
Dean didn't ask him to continue to sit on the throne. He knew what Saul was worried about. Although he had repelled Ulita and was unstoppable in the inner wall, but there were still two major factors that could make him fall from the throne. The first factor was the joint siege of the Monster Research Institute and the Hunter family. The second factor was the return of the wall leader!
Dean knew that the second factor would be the last hope in everyone's heart.
However no one knew when the wall leader would come back. If he came back now then he would have to escape to the outside of the giant wall. But if he came back late then he would have the capital to negotiate with the God's corpse.
If he was given more time then the scale of the power station he would build would increase. Even if the wall leader came back he believed that he would be able to kill him!
Dean needed to forcibly control the entire inner wall. No matter what kind of hope they had he had to use his power to suppress it!
"Send people to block the news here. Also inform the most authoritative newspaper that Ulita is wanted in the city. She is accused of colluding with the invaders, causing corpses and squeezing the money of civilians!" Dean said to Saul.
Saul was dumbfounded when he heard that. He was secretly speechless. A warrant for Ulita? She was the only princess of Sylvia! How could she become a wanted criminal in the blink of an eye? Moreover the accusation was simply false and maliciously imposed!
"What? Can't you do it?"
Saul came back to his senses: "I can do it!"
"Most of the reason why Ulita ran away is to contact the Monster Research Institute and the Witcher family. She is ready to make a comeback. But after the battle with the invaders, their remaining strength can't compete with me. Send a letter to them. Tell them that whoever helps Ulita will be treated as a traitor. Cut off all transactions with them. Anyone who has dealings with them will be punished with the same crime!" Dudian coldly said.
Saul was startled and said, "Sir, even if I send a letter to them, they may not listen to me. After all, Princess Urita is a princess and the only daughter of the Wall Master. They will definitely help her."
"I know." Dean said: "But the letter still has to be sent."
Saul looked at him. He felt a trace of strangeness in his heart. Wouldn't they be able to see through Dean's intentions? Wouldn't they want to separate them one by one and defeat them one by one? Wouldn't it be tantamount to helping Ulita to push their alliance? Forcing them to join forces to encircle you as soon as possible?
