Chapter 554: Destitute Centaur
Chapter 554: Destitute Centaur
"Stop, where are you from? This is the territory of the Centaurs. Outsiders are not allowed to enter. Oh! Princess Angela?"
It turns out that the small town is still guarded, with a knight and two knight squires patrolling.
Such a combination is commendable on Tidal Island, but this is an underground world full of dangers. Once an intruder with malicious intent suddenly arrives, it will probably be too late to sound the alarm.
After trotting closer, the middle-aged knight in the lead recognized Angela.
"Yes, I'm Angela Carthy."
"How come you're still alive?"
"What do you say?"
"Look at my mouth. I'm so happy that I can't speak."
The middle-aged knight confirmed that the visitor was Angela and was obviously relieved. He didn't think much about it and smiled kindly at the others, revealing a simple folk custom.
From Danny, Angela learned who the protagonist of today's wedding was, her younger brother Leowen.
This day was not only the day of the wedding, but also the day when Leowen took over the position of clan leader.
People in the world of Danela generally get married at an early age. According to normal time, Leowen should have been married a long time ago. With such doubts, Angela and others walked towards the castle at the back of the town.
A small and simple castle is the current royal court of the Centaurs.
The ancient patterns and mysterious designs carved in various places in the castle seem to tell the final afterglow of the Centaurs.
Ivan and his companions did not walk fast. The news had already reached the castle. When they arrived, the castle gate was already full of people.
"Tanli, the Centaur, and his people are here to see His Majesty."
As the head of the clan, Tanli was not as ignorant as Knight Danny. He noticed Ivan's unusualness at first sight and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him tremblingly.
Compared to the shrewd leader, the other centaurs were much slower.
The scene of greeting seemed sparse, and some people even stood there in a daze, as if they did not hear the words of their family head.
After all, the Centaurs have lived in a peaceful environment for a long time and have long lost their awe of the strong.
This made Angela frown deeply, and she quickly looked at Ivan with pleading eyes.
Of course Ivan would not bother with these people. He was not a person who liked to show off, so there was no need to bother with some ignorant Centaurs.
Angela's father is a frail old man.
As the chief of the Centaurs, he is only at the third level in strength and has been injured for a long time, so he looks much older than his actual age and his body is almost exhausted.
Next to him stood a pale-faced young man, probably Angela's younger brother Leowen.
Leowen had just entered the level of earth knight not long ago.
Both the father and son are injured, yet they have to support the Centaurs. This is enough to illustrate the dire situation of the Centaurs at the moment. Just as Angela said, they will probably be wiped out in the underground world in a few years.
"No need to be polite, Angela is mine now."
Looking at the fearful Tan Li in front of him, Ivan knew what he was worried about. He spoke gently and Angela nodded in agreement.
These words were like a spring breeze, carrying an invisible force that quickly soothed the fear in Pingli's heart.
"I see. Excuse me, are you from the human race?"
Compared with Leowen, the upcoming clan leader, Tanli is a very qualified clan leader.
"Human wizard, Ivan Marichatton." Ivan said.
"Father, Ivan is also a knight who is about to be promoted to Knight King." Angela added. "Knight King - good, good!"
The long-lost title of Knight King immediately evoked Tanli's deep emotion. The Centaur tribe had not seen a true Centaur King for many years, and he was almost forgotten.
"Tsk! Who knows if it's true?"
At this moment, a shrill voice suddenly sounded, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
"Shut up, Lucas!" Tanli glared at the person who spoke.
"Chief Tanli, I think you are really old and confused. You believe whatever others say. Who knows if this human pretty boy was brought in by Angela to fool us? Don't think you can do whatever you want after you come back from an outing."
Lucas is a middle-aged flying knight, whose strength is not much lower than that of the clan leader Tanli. Since Tanli is still seriously injured and has not recovered, the former's actual combat power is definitely greater than the latter.
He was the most unhappy person about Angela's return.
"Humph!"
His words aroused the anger of the other side, and before anyone else could react, a cold snort sounded.
The sounds were clearly heard by many people, and Lucas was the first to be hit. Under the impact of the invisible force, his entire world became dark, and even the sounds disappeared without a trace.
Others were struck by lightning.
Arcane wizards should not be insulted lightly, and this is not just something I say to just others.
"Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty, please calm down! Lucas is a frog in a well. He is just dissatisfied with me as the tribe leader. He has absolutely no intention of offending Your Majesty. Please forgive my Centaur tribe for Angela's sake."
Lucas' eyes turned completely white and blood was coming out of all his orifices. Other tribesmen who had shown disrespect were punished to varying degrees. This scene almost frightened Tanli silly.
The Knight King is not that scary!
After Tanli reacted, he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy. He was afraid that if he was a little slower, the Centaurs would be wiped out.
Unlike the previous greetings, this time the centaurs were particularly orderly. They knelt on the ground in panic and begged for mercy together with their family leaders, except Lucas who had not yet regained consciousness.
"Okay! For Angela's sake, this wizard will not pursue your rude behavior. Please remember that this kind of thing is only allowed to happen once, not a second time."
Ivan glanced at Angela and let go of this group of people with inconsistent attitudes.
Originally, Angela wanted him to beat and discipline this group of centaurs, so he naturally didn't want to meddle in other people's business. He never expected that someone would jump out and seek death, which would be a different situation.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, please rest assured that such a thing will never happen again. If it happens again, you can kill me or chop me up as you wish. Tanli and others will never have any complaints."
Hearing his words, Tanli felt as if he had been pardoned and quickly made a promise.
Tanli had no doubt that the other party could easily slaughter the entire Centaur tribe, and such a strong man must not be offended.
Ivan could not deny this.
"Lily, help your father down quickly." Then, Tanli instructed a girl behind Leowen, who was actually another protagonist of the wedding.
"Can--"
"go with!"
After what happened just now, Tanli's prestige was restored a lot, and soon the confused Lucas was taken away.
Tanli respectfully welcomed Ivan into the castle, and the farce ended there.
