After the Legend Chapter 117: The first impression of Noga Palace


Wearing the Nuojia suit specially prepared by the butler, Minte stepped into the Nuojia capital city Normonca for the second time, but the feeling was completely different from the previous year

The streets are still very lively, and there are rare shops opened by foreign businessmen. It can be said that it is prosperous, but occasionally there are scenes of nobles or officers bullying the common people. , I encountered three cases, but the butler who was leading the way did not do anything other than a contemptuous glance. Minte had to hold back and tell himself that those were the people of the enemy country, and that he could not control it. /

The Royal Palace of Noga is built on the hillside - more precisely, from the hillside, half of the hill is the scope of the palace The royal family members of this country seem to like building houses on the hill, the castle of the Jada family The same is true, on the way they pass by Uncle Jada's castle, also built on the hillside

The entire palace is like a huge oval stone fortress. There are three thick walls on the periphery. Many tall buildings can be vaguely seen in the middle. There is only one gate in front and one road leading to the bottom of the mountain. The road is paved with gravel Yes, the road is not spacious, there are tall bushes on both sides, Minte recognizes this is a special plant called "Hook-thorn", which has barb thorns on the branches, and people will be stabbed when they touch it. , is often used as a defensive plant in gardens, but it is the first time he has seen it planted on most of the hillside like this

The thorns are very sharp and hard. When preparing potions, if the thorns are used, they usually have to be cut with steel scissors. It seems that the defense of the Nuojia Palace is quite strict. It will also be greatly restricted, whether it is a human or a horse, it will be stabbed by the hook and spine

Riding to a place about 100 meters away from the gate of the palace, there is a sentry pavilion. After being searched by the sentries, Minte and the housekeeper dismounted and walked. When they came to the first city wall, he was surprised to find that, The inner wall of this gate is actually made of magnets? !

Aren't they afraid that the guards won't be able to pass by building a magnet wall in a place like this?

The butler seemed to see the doubts in Mint's heart and explained softly: "The guards in the palace and outside the palace... are not a system..."

Mintel understood immediately, however, the attraction of the magnets can prevent outsiders from carrying weapons, but it has no effect on the items in the storage ring. People who have storage tools like Jada can easily bring them with them. Entering the palace with a weapon, if others do the same, what's the point of this line of defense? Perhaps, just to prevent a large number of armed forces from entering?

The two main gates at the back are very normal. After passing through, it is the main hall of the palace. The surroundings are quiet. Only a lot of figures can be seen in the official offices on both sides. Terrain

Around the palace, they came to a secluded two-story building. The butler respectfully stood in front of the door and said, "Your Excellency, we're here"

The door creaked open and Jada walked out and smiled at Minte: "Are you here? How are you doing these days? I've been staying in the palace and I don't care about you, please don't be angry"

Mint smiled, of course not angry, but in order to make the other party believe in himself, he still showed a little bit of discomfort and ambition. The young man couldn't help but say: "No... how could it be? But... Your Excellency the duke, these What the **** is going on?"

Jada's mouth curled into an imperceptible smile and then said with a wry smile: "I really want to thank you when you passed through the three rounds, I said that you had to detour me and it was you who persuaded me to give up my mind so that we could return to Nomonka in time. Don't you know? Those people..." He glanced at the special envoys Chaomin left and right, "I don't know what method they used to convince the general to come back only a day later than us, and Lawler immediately went to the palace to file a complaint as soon as he got the news. Fortunately, I reported to His Majesty in advance to suppress the matter, but Lawler refused to let me go, and invited the Queen Mother to come and punish me in the palace for ten days. It wasn't until today that I finally came out. I'll call someone to inform you right away, are you in a hurry?"

"I'm not familiar with the other warriors without me." Minte comforted the other party but cursed inwardly: Who are you lying to? If you really cut off relations with the outside world completely, how did those potions get in?

Jada didn't know what he was thinking and smiled apologetically on his face: "Now that I have finally officially turned against them, I'm afraid your life will be difficult here. You'd better be mentally prepared and never go to them. Be like those people... always have bad intentions towards people of southern origin"

Minter paused and said respectfully: "You can rest assured that I know what to do"

Jada nodded with satisfaction and motioned for him to follow him: "I'll take you to see His Majesty the King, come with me"

The housekeeper had already quietly retired, and Mintel followed Jada back to the back of the palace, climbed the steps from the small garden, and climbed to the palace built on the mountain

Nuo Jia's palace has many long corridors. The outward side is a large window. Although it is early summer, the wind blows on the middle of the mountain, and the inner side is a wall. Decorated with ancient armor, swords, weapons and large murals

These paintings are quite old, and the style is very different from that of East and Shaonan. The use of se is bold and solemn. The brushstrokes may be slightly rough, but it gives a rough and wild impression. The content of the paintings is ancient During the period, the Norway royal family worked hard to start a business and siege the city, and there were also scenes of previous kings leading the battle. The most prominent one is that of Nicodemus the Great riding a tall white horse with a whip in his hand pointing forward. , with sharp eyes, behind him are the heavy armored soldiers and the crimson eagle-headed lion and the winged beast flag, under the horse's hoof there are the remains of East and Shaonan's flags and bloodstains, and even a fragment of an octagonal star pendant

Mintel's eyes shrank, sneered in his heart, and walked over from under the painting as if ignoring

Come along the promenade slowly around the mountain, and soon came to a palace. The building here has a special sense of solemnity. Minte guessed that this is probably the residence of King Noga, but why did Jada directly Take him to the king's palace?

He entered the palace after Jada, and almost immediately, he realized that it was very different from the places he had passed before

It is also a promenade with one wall and one window. The windows here are hung with dark green velvet curtains, blocking the cool mountain wind, while the paintings hanging on the walls are more of landscape flowers and plants. Characters, there is a corner of the garden in the sun, there are little children whispering under the flowers outside the palace ball hall, there is a pure white longhair cat napping under the window sill, there is a maid in the underground palace dressed up in festivals, and there are rolling groups. The endless fields of the mountains, the villagers who were busy dragging their children to the market during the autumn harvest... Minte suddenly felt a touch of emotion. He seemed to see an ordinary and peaceful Nuojia, no ambitious royal family, no snobbish and greedy villagers, no blood, no War...

Don't know who painted these paintings? He only found that five or six of them were masterpieces from ancient masters (the paintings were signed), and the others were not signed. Although these paintings are not perfect in technique, they make people feel very warm

Jada noticed that he had stopped in front of the paintings to take a closer look, then turned around and smiled and said, "Is it a good painting? Do you know who painted it?" Mint shook his head and asked curiously, "Who is it?" Da Que just smiled mysteriously and beckoned him to continue walking

A pair of well-dressed and meticulously dressed middle-aged men and women stood outside the tall door and saw Jada approaching, the man immediately stepped forward and saluted: "You are here, Your Majesty is already waiting." He Looking at Mintel with some joy: "This...is what you said..."

Jada nodded, turned back and whispered, "Come in with me, keep quiet." Then he strode forward, the middle-aged woman curtseyed, and then gave Minte a grateful look, Mint paused, and the middle-aged man quickly opened the door to let them in

The light in the room is a little dim, the curtains are drawn, and the lights are lit. Most of the furniture seems to be at least a hundred years old, and you can still see how luxurious it used to be. The floor is soft and thick. The fur carpet, unexpectedly, there was a fire in the fireplace in the corner of the room, and there was a warmth in the air

Mintel followed Jada around the drapery and came to the inner room. The furnishings here are much simpler than the outside. They all look very homely. On the bench by the window, a man of about forty or fifty years old is sitting Lying in a pile of cushions, looking at something in his hand

His face was pale, his body was a little puffy, his hair was bald, his lips had a two-curved beard, and his round face was full of kindness. When he saw Jada come in, he smiled and stretched out his hand: "Waiting for you Come and sit down"

Jada smiled and gave a half salute, then took his hand and sat on the stool beside the bench. Potions master, all the medicines you drink these days are prepared by him"

"Oh? Younger than I thought." The middle-aged man, the King Gale II, looked curiously at Mintel and hurried forward to salute him: "It's my honor to serve you. "

Gail II seems to be in a pretty good mood, always smiling and asking about Mintel's age, parents, hometown and teachers... Just like the usual Minte, he had already made up his own life experience before he came, and he also dealt with it flawlessly /

After half an hour, King Gal II took a sip of tea with satisfaction, stopped asking questions, and raised the topic: "Jie asked someone to send you the medicine a few days ago, and I tried it. , the effect of sleeping potion is very good, I have slept for more than four hours at night, you know, I haven't slept well for three years Very good, and I ate a lot more than usual.”

"It's great that those potions can help you. If you need other potions, please feel free to tell me. As long as I can do it, I will do it as soon as possible and offer it up" Minte replied with his head down

Gail II smiled and pointed to the other chair next to him: "You sit here." Minte glanced at Jada and sat down as he said, only to hear Gal II say: "The truth is Go...I don't know what potion I need, since you've learned it, please help me see it"

Minte is a little surprised, he is not a doctor: "You think too highly of me, I just have a good foundation in potions, and I happen to know some useful potion formulas, which is still a long way from a real potionist. According to my teacher, I'm at most a trainee potionist and I don't have the ability to see people. Perhaps, you can ask the court physician to come and see, and I can make some potions according to your needs."

"Oh?" Gael II was a little disappointed, but quickly smiled derisively, "That's right, you're still a kid." He nodded to Jada ~IndoMTL.com~ The latter would agree He got up, took out a small box from a decorative clay pot on the side shelf, and handed it to Mint

Mint took the box, and Jedda said with some inexplicable wonder: "There is no need to see a doctor. All court physicians have come to the same conclusion: excessive sadness, emotional instability, severe headaches, and hallucinations and persecution fantasies. My mental state is no longer suitable for dealing with political affairs, and I need to rest in peace and try not to disturb outsiders." He sneered as he spoke, with a hint of mockery on the corners of his mouth

Minte heard something hidden in it, but didn't make a sound, just lowered his head and opened the box, and found a crystal bottle inside, with a small half bottle of thick liquid of water red inside, shaking gently

"This is..."

"Your Majesty is the main culprit of this disease, although on the surface, it's just a bottle of headache medicine," Jada gritted his teeth and replied, "Do you remember the place where we met for the first time? It was in that tent. I heard that he was very capable, so I asked him to dispense medicine for His Majesty. I didn’t expect that he would actually play tricks in the potion! His Majesty drank the last bottle, only to find out that there is something wrong with the potion, if it weren’t for that bastard, he was incompetent. , the medicine dispensed is not effective enough, I'm afraid Your Majesty would have long ago..." Turning to look at Gal II, his eyes were a little red: "Back then... I still went to find the medicine he dispensed... It's all my fault..."

Gail II smiled: "You are also helping me, it's not your fault, it's those who do bad things in secret"

Mintel was stunned for a long time. He stared at the bottle and suddenly thought that the potion contained in this bottle was the pot he had manipulated back then?

(There are so many comments recently, everyone, is there really no place to discuss the plot?)
