Chapter 7: Sights and Surprises At this time, Zhao Yannian was sitting in a side hall of the palace, waiting for the king's reception.
"Vikna, what kind of person is His Majesty?"
After being trained in etiquette by the court etiquette officer, Zhao Yannian, who originally thought that the prince and general were not a big deal, also began to be a little nervous.
Seeing that there was no one around, he began to ask Vicna.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, when I was a child, was a prince and entered the army.
So at that time, we noble children rarely came into contact with this majesty, and the first time I met him was after the orcs broke through the beast blood fortress four years ago, and the eldest prince at that time, although he looked tired with his injuries, still received me very approachable. ” Vikena thought for a moment and began to recall his several meetings with the Grand Prince.
Zhao Yannian, on the other hand, tried to use the various knowledge he had learned over the years to analyze the king's personality and hobbies, so that he could better communicate with him.
"In other words, our King is a proud and confident man, who has always been involved in battles in the army, so he is very direct in personality and hates intrigue."
"Blake, you're so right.
I can't summarize it.
Vic said, clapping his hands.
Zhao Yannian shook his head and smiled, but he thought in his heart, you were a hot-blooded little fool back then, how could you study people's hearts.
And our Emperor's Majesty is a difficult person to get along with.
Too much self-confidence and pride, bringing a strong desire to control, the personality is direct and rough, if you disobey this person in the future, then what awaits you will be thunderous destruction.
But now it's too late to give up, and since I've embarked on this road, if I can't do it at this time, the end will become very miserable.
Led by the maid, Blake traveled a short and long journey until he finally came to the door of a large hall.
As the antique mahogany gold-inlaid door slowly opened, Zhao Yannian took a deep breath and walked in.
However, when Zhao Yannian stepped into the audience hall with one foot, an accident happened.
The unicorn ring on Zhao Yannian's right hand suddenly glowed with silver light the moment he entered the hall, and the phantom of a unicorn appeared on Zhao Yannian's head.
The attendant in the hall sang aloud: "Greetings, the patriarch of the Younekos family!"
” Zhao Yannian, who didn't know what was going on at all, was stunned.
And the singer was also stunned after the recitation.
The young man in front of him didn't know him, and he was the unicorn leader of the Younekos family.
Isn't the patriarch of the Younekos family an eighty-year-old man?
Zhao Yannian tentatively asked the attendant officer: "I'm sorry, did I come early and steal someone else's position?"
” "Your Excellency, your heraldic ring is indeed the seal ring of the Younekos family, and this must not be wrong."
The singer said with a serious face.
At this time, Zhao Yannian suddenly thought of what the old magician said when he handed over the relics of his parents.
"But I advise you to hide this ring well.
Your mother's family is not a good place to get along with. ” Thinking of this, Zhao Yannian felt that he really didn't take the old magician's words too seriously at the beginning.
If word gets out about what happened here today, the Unekos family will come to the door tomorrow.
My mother is also fine, and it's not good to elope with anything, but with the family's heraldic ring.
Now, not only will I have a lot of relatives in the future, but this ring is likely to be taken back by my relatives.
Won't you become a tragedy when the time comes?
Where to stuff the metal fortress, and do you have to carry the dozens of tons of weapons in the ring on your own back?
The more he thought about it, the more depressed Zhao Yannian became.
"It seems that this time it is not easy to fool the past."
Zhao Yannian, who was talking to himself, passed through a gate again under the guidance of the attendant officer.
"Blake Rodnick has seen my king."
"Blake, you should know exactly what I summoned you for, right?"
Edward, who was sitting on the throne, looked Zhao Yannian up and down with interest, the attendants had already told Edward about the matter at the door of the meeting hall before, and the new king did not expect that this unknown alchemist would have such a tactful and tortuous background.
After the historian quickly checked the records of the Yonex family for nearly thirty years, it was confirmed that Zhao Yannian should be the son of Alice Shelenelle Yonex, the only daughter of the Yonex family.
Because the unicorn family borders the Elven Forest, the original head of Yonex was a half-elf.
Elves are the second least fertile race in the world, and the least fertile race is the dragons.
Although the half-elves mixed with humans have increased their fertility rate a lot, their lifespan has also been shortened to the point where they are about the same as humans, and in general, the fertility rate of half-elves is more worrying than that of elves.

The Yonex family has always had a small number of sons, and since the disappearance of Alice, who was supposed to succeed the head of the Yonex family many years ago, there has been no heir to the Yonex family, and ten years ago, after the death of Count Yonex, the title of the Yonex family was taken away by the side branch.
At this time, Zhao Yannian's appearance will inevitably be attacked by the Yonex family.
However, these things are just an interesting farce for Edward, who is dead and who is injured, Edward does not care, if this alchemist can help repair the beast blood fortress, Edward does not mind to deter the people of the Yonex family.
If this Blake did not have that ability, then His Majesty Edward, who was in a hurry, would not have interfered in the family affairs of a little baron.
After Zhao Yannian saluted, he looked up at this Majesty Edward, if you only comment on this majesty from appearance, it can only be explained by perfection, the genes accumulated by handsome men and beautiful women for thousands of years have made this man handsome and close to god.
Looking at himself with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, it was clear that His Majesty knew about what had happened before, and knew more than he did.
Zhao Yannian has been avoiding the problem of his parents in this life all these years.
Although their bodies in this life were given by them, they also benefited a lot from the relics of the two.
But after all, he also had parents in his previous life, and Zhao Yannian has always been very resistant to having one more pair of parents from the bottom of his heart, and although the unicorn ring has been seen by two alchemy masters, as long as the coat of arms is not revealed, who can recognize it.
Obviously, Zhao Yannian's ostrich mentality finally made him himself trapped in the palace, and in front of the king, he was faced with a choice that would affect his future life, whether to gain the king's attention in order to get shelter, or according to what he thought before he came, he offered a few techniques that did not have much effect, and then took the territory and ran to farm and pretend to be pigs and eat tigers.
The king looked at Zhao Yannian, whose face was full of depression, and his face was gloomy and he didn't speak, as if he was patronizing and thinking about his own affairs and forgot that he was still meeting His Majesty the king.
I finally couldn't help but remind.
"Blake, you know what I'm looking for you for, right?
If you can come up with a plan to repair the Beast Blood Fortress, I can fend off your family's attacks on you for you, and even make you the master of the Unicorn Territory. ” Zhao Yannian also came to his senses, he was still meeting the king in person, he was so rude just now, the king didn't pursue it, it can be seen that the alchemists of the kingdom have really withered to a certain extent.
"Your Majesty, I need some specific information about the Northwest Territories and the Beast Blood Fortress, and if there is no specific information, I can't judge whether I can repair the Beast Blood Fortress."
"I've thought of that."
Edward nodded and beckoned to the attendants beside him, and several attendants carried a small mountain of documents.
From ancient parchment scrolls to paper books, and even some drawings drawn on silk.
Zhao Yannian picked up some and quickly flipped through them.
Most of these book drawings record various information about the northwest and the changes of the Beast Blood Fortress over the years, although the architectural drawings of the previous Beast Blood Fortress were burned during the rebellion of the royal capital, but there will always be some of them.
And Zhao Yannian looked at the dense various alchemy arrays, and the magic array was dizzy for a while.
And that's just a small part of the Beast Blood Fortress's defenses.
As you can imagine, it is very difficult to repair the Beast Blood Fortress, which is claimed to be able to withstand a legendary blow.
After a long time, Zhao Yannian looked up at Edward, who was still sitting on the throne as usual.
"Your Majesty, I would like to say a little bit about my current understanding of the relationship between humans and orcs."
"Tell me about it."
Edward heard Zhao Yannian's words and realized that there was still hope, and his expression was quite happy.
"The reason why humans can't destroy the orcs is because humans can only use less than one-fifth of their strength to fight the orcs, and the rest of their strength needs to be used to defend against other alien races."
Zhao Yannian paused here.
"Since the generation rate of orc powerhouses is much faster than ours, it is impossible for our legendary powerhouses to fight to the death with orcs, so we can only rely on legendary powerhouses to contain and let orc powerhouses make as few shots as possible.
And the combat power of our human soldiers is much lower than that of orcs, so every time we fight, it will be the elite orcs who break up the human army, and then the humans will use their numerical advantage to polish the orcs on the plateau little by little. ” Edward nodded when he heard this.
"Sorry, Your Majesty.
I can't fix the Beast Blood Fortress.
Zhao Yannian suddenly bowed his head and said.
Hearing Zhao Yannian say that he was not capable of repairing the Beast Blood Fortress, His Majesty the King sighed unconsciously.
Zhao Yannian suddenly said again: "But I don't think there is any need for the Beast Blood Fortress to exist. ” "Blake, what do you mean?"
"Your Majesty, I mean, if our soldiers can take on the orcs alone, we don't need any beast blood fortresses anymore!!"
