Chapter 233 Settle the Account
Queen Zhu: ...
I know that there is a pig in my arms.
Does he need to say this?
The key is to let him see if there is any way to decipher this scroll.
However, Master Chen couldn't even tell that the pig in his arms was transformed by a scroll, so there probably wasn't any good solution.
"Master Chen, can't you see that it was originally a person?" Queen Zhu raised her head and looked at Master Chen.
"It? Your Majesty, are you saying that this fat pig was originally a human?" Master Chen was shocked when he heard this.
"That's right. He is my younger brother Zhu Jun. He was harmed by someone using a scroll and became like this." Queen Zhu said with a distressed look on her face.
"Empress, may I ask who turned Zhu Jun into this state?" If Empress Zhu's eyes had not been fixed on Zhu Jun at this moment, she would have been able to see the uncontrollable excitement in Master Chen's eyes.
"You should ask Lord Linghu about this question." Queen Zhu said unhappily.
"Master Chen, please take a quick look, is there any way to get rid of Jun'er's condition?" Queen Zhu finally raised her head again.
"Don't be anxious, Your Majesty. Let me check you out." Master Chen said this before he squatted down and began to examine Zhu Jun.
"Master Chen, what happened?" After Master Chen finished the examination, Queen Zhu looked at him anxiously.
After all, Master Chen is the most powerful scroll master in the Dark Empire.
"Empress, are you sure he is really Zhu Jun in disguise? He looks like a pig to me, without any human characteristics at all." Master Chen said with a frown.
"Can't you see any trace of the scroll?" Queen Zhu asked.
"I really can't tell." Master Chen shook his head.
"Alas... It seems that we can only wait for a month for him to recover on his own." Queen Zhu sighed deeply when she heard this.
"Empress, are you so sure that it is Zhu Jun?" Master Chen's eyes were full of disbelief.
"Sure, look at the protective jade pendant on his neck. It is a soul contract with Jun'er. No one else can wear it except Jun'er." Queen Zhu pointed to the jade pendant on the pig's neck.
"So that's how it is, Your Majesty. You just said that Zhu Jun will recover automatically in a month?" Master Chen looked curious.
"That's what Lord Linghu said." Queen Zhu nodded.
"Empress, in that case, I will take my leave now." Master Chen said as he stood up and was about to leave, only to find that something had bitten his trouser leg.
Master Chen lowered his head and saw that it was actually a dog.
"Empress, why do you keep a dog recently?" Master Chen was a little surprised. After all, Empress Zhu used to hate these animals the most.
"If I'm not mistaken, it's Yu Huo." Queen Zhu said as she looked at the dog biting Master Chen's trouser leg.
"It seems that the scroll can choose attributes. Zhu Jun is fat and stupid, so he turned into a pig. Yu Huo follows Zhu Jun around all day long, bullying him and is just like a lackey." Master Chen couldn't help but complain when he heard this.
Only he, as the Dark Empire's first scroll master, dared to complain about her beloved brother in front of the Queen.
Upon hearing this, Queen Zhu raised her head and glanced at Master Chen. Master Chen then realized that he had actually spoken out the complaints in his heart.
"Haha, don't mind it, Her Majesty. I was just joking, just a joke." Even though he knew that Queen Zhu would not do anything to him, Master Chen still felt embarrassed, so he just slipped away.
After Master Chen left, Queen Zhu ordered a yard in her palace to be cleared out to raise a pig and a dog.
Zhu Jun’s condition now definitely cannot be sent directly back to the Zhu family.
Otherwise, his parents at home would be so scared that they would faint on the spot when they saw Zhu Jun in this state.
After Lord Linghu handed the portrait drawn by Yan Li to the Emperor of the Dark Empire, Huangfu Guang, he immediately handed it over to the elders of the empire who were responsible for capturing the Black Evil Flower.
He was very happy to get the portrait of the Black Evil Flower after it transformed.
He was very curious when he learned that Zhu Jun and Yu Huo were turned into a pig and a dog by a scroll.
So after Lord Linghu left, Huangfu Guang couldn't wait to go to the Queen's palace to watch the fun.
……
Speaking of the Mercenary Empire, we completed the Black Evil Flower mission and received a lot of mission rewards.
The Mercenary Empire once again shocked the entire mercenary world!
Not only did Xiao Lingze give all the mercenary rewards to Yan Li, he also asked the War King to take her to the treasure house of the Mercenary Empire to choose what she liked.
However, Yan Li only took half of the reward for the Black Evil Flower mission, and gave the remaining half to the Royal Mercenary Group.
This made all the members of the Royal Mercenary Group so excited that they couldn't sleep for several days and nights.
You know, the rewards for this Black Evil Flower mission are so rich that they never dared to imagine.
That day, Yan Li and her friends were sitting in the imperial garden to enjoy the cool air.
Yun Qi walked in with a speechless look on his face.
"Yun Qi, what's wrong? Why do you look so bad?" Xiao Lingze looked at him curiously.
It's rare to see Yun Qi with such an ugly expression.
"Brother, the leaders of the four major mercenary groups have just arrived. They received a call for help from the chief elder of their mercenary group, saying that they were trapped in a place called the Valley of Death. The leaders of the four major mercenary groups asked us to send people to rescue them." Yun Qi said.
"How did those idiots complete their mission and make it to the Killing Valley?" Yan Li was full of curiosity when he heard that.
"I guess it's because of greed that he was attracted to it." Yun Qi complained.
"Yun Qi, have the leaders of the four major mercenary groups returned?" Yan Li looked at Yun Qi.
"Not yet, what's wrong?" Yun Qi didn't know why Li'er suddenly asked this.
"It's nothing. Now that they are here, it's time to settle these accounts." Yan Li said as he took out a pile of IOUs.
Yun Qi: ...
I almost forgot that the four major mercenary groups had signed a lot of IOUs to Li'er.
"Yun Qi, since Li'er has accounts to settle, you can go and bring them over." Xiao Lingze looked at Yun Qi.
"Okay." Yun Qi nodded and left.
Soon, Yun Qi arrived with the leaders of the four major mercenary groups.
"Wang, how many people are you going to send with us to rescue?" The four team leaders asked impatiently as soon as they came in.
"Let's discuss this matter later. We have another thing to deal with now." There was actually a hint of gloating in Xiao Lingze's tone.
"Wang, I wonder what is so important?" Captain Xu looked confused.
"Li'er." Xiao Lingze did not answer Captain Xu but looked directly at Yan Li.
Upon hearing this, Yan Li directly placed four piles of IOUs in front of the four group leaders.
"Wang, what is this?" Captain Han was completely confused.
"This is the IOU your mercenary group signed when they purchased various treasures from me during the previous mission of picking the black evil flower. Now that all the captains are here today, let's settle the account." Yan Li's words froze the four captains.
