Bone King: Welcome the Birth of the King.

Chapter 394 Lana's Premeditated Plans for a Deadly Situation

The conversation in the conference room continued until evening before it ended. With a soft "click," the door was opened again.

Clem stood even straighter, turned slightly, and looked at the beautiful figure who first came into view, with a yellow gemstone pendant on her forehead. He bowed respectfully and said, "Your Highness."

"Thank you for your hard work, Clem."

"I didn't expect our conversation to last so long, making you wait outside until now," Princess Lana said gently, her tone tinged with a hint of regret.

“This is what I should do!”

Clem was deeply moved, raised his voice slightly, and responded earnestly.

He didn't find it a difficult task; being able to protect the princess and stand by her side was the greatest honor he could have.

Renas, dressed in a loose-fitting outfit with her golden ponytail hanging down her back, looked calmly at Princess Lana, who was teasing Clem again.

Teasing?

That's right!

It's like those despicable, decadent aristocratic sons who display a feigned friendliness towards the lower classes.

That description isn't quite right... It's not so much a pretense as a genuine expression, but rather a different kind of "liking."

Beside Renas was an elderly man with slightly gray hair, wearing a magic robe, and with a serious expression.

This person is none other than Uldrin, the guild master of the Mage Guild headquarters in the royal capital!
The old man, who looked serious, had noticeably smoothed out the wrinkles around his eyes, perhaps intentionally concealing them, but he seemed to be in a good mood.

As the president!

Uldrin personally escorted Princess Lana and the others to the gates of the Magic Guild.

Rolling around—rolling around—

A luxurious carriage travels along the main street of the capital.

Inside the carriage, Clem sat upright, inhaling the two different fragrances in the air, his heart pounding.

"Your Highness, Guild Master Uldrin's attitude is unclear," Renas said calmly, her arms crossed.

Princess Lana's sudden visit to the president of the Mage's Guild was to add a squad of magic chanters to the army formed by Renas.

Renas did not oppose the decision. As a former member of the Bahars Empire, she understood the value of magic chanters better than most people in the kingdom.

The kingdom reveres chivalry and pays no attention to magic chanters. Some ignorant minor nobles even regard magic as a vulgar trick.

This insight made Renas laugh, and at the same time she completely agreed with her master's assessment of the "Kingdom of Ri Yestege"—it was a country on the verge of decay!

only.

Ordinary magic chanters cannot provide much assistance to the army, while powerful magic chanters probably wouldn't choose to join the army either.

That's why I came to the Adventurer's Mage Guild.

However, Renas didn't think this would be achieved easily.

While the Mage's Guild doesn't have some of the rules of the Adventurers' Guild, it also doesn't intervene in wars between nations.

"He would be willing."

Princess Nana responded gracefully and gently, placing her delicate hands on her knees. Meeting Rena's questioning gaze, a smile flickered in her blue eyes.
"The creation of magical items is generally handled by the Mage Guild, but they have an even more important responsibility."

"Duty?"

"Yes, it's about training magic chanters."

Princess Lana's gentle smile remained unchanged: "The nation looks down on magic because of tradition, so the Mage's Guild receives no funding or assistance from the nation."

Renas's eyes flickered, and she began to understand Princess Lana's purpose.

"It seems you've already thought of that, Renas."

Princess Lana's smile deepened even further.
"If the warriors you have assembled can achieve victory on the battlefield against the Empire two months from now, they will demonstrate the value of magic chanters."

"That will be a huge publicity boost for the neglected Mage Guild, a deal they can't resist."

“But…” Renas frowned briefly.

"You're worried about your father and those nobles, aren't you?"

Princess Lana gently shook her head: "You are originally from the Bahars Empire, where magic chanters are highly valued."

“If anyone else in the kingdom had done this, they would have faced criticism, but you won’t.”

"Is this so?"

Rena tapped her fingers lightly, feeling a slight headache; that wasn't actually what she cared about.

The real question is why Princess Lana is so certain that she will win the battle against the Empire in a few months.

She and Gazef each formed their own legions, their purpose obvious; she didn't believe the Blood Emperor of the Bahars Empire was completely unaware.

This confrontation between the two countries will certainly be different from the past. Even Reina herself is not entirely confident, yet she cannot say it out loud.

Princess Lana's beautiful eyes curved slightly like crescent moons, and she smiled radiantly, knowing Reinas's concerns.

But they didn't really care.

Because the outcome was already decided, that man wouldn't let Renas lose.

Judging from the worried look on Renas's face, she didn't seem to have a clear understanding of that man's strength.

Able to guide hill events!

Under the combined influence of the Slane Church, the Holy Kingdom, and the [Zhilanong] alliance, they were able to escape unscathed and even scheme for some benefit.

Princess Lana vaguely speculated that his strength should be no weaker than that of the guardian deity of the Bahars Empire.

Actually.

The real purpose of contacting the Mage Guild is not these trivial matters; these are merely incidental.

In previous exchanges.

Princess Lana noticed that the man seemed to care about the Mage's Guild and planned to wait until the conflict with the Kingdom of Bahars ended before making contact with him.

Now that we know what that man is thinking.

Princess Lana naturally had to make arrangements in advance to prove her worth, and a smile flashed in her beautiful, curved eyes as she thought of this.

"your Highness."

Seeing that the princess and Lady Reinas had finished their conversation, Clem hesitated for a moment before respectfully speaking.

A sound suddenly rang out.

Princess Lana and Renas both looked over at the same time, but Renas remained expressionless.

"Clem, is something the matter?"

Princess Lana, her face full of tenderness, blinked her innocent and pure eyes and asked in a gentle, questioning tone.

"I want to, I want to, join the legion that Lady Renas has formed and participate in the war against the Empire that will be fought soon."

Clem mustered his courage and spoke loudly.

He didn't know why he suddenly had this idea, but he felt that it might be able to help the princess.

As soon as these words came out.

Renas glanced at Clem with surprise, while her eyes darted to Princess Lana beside her.

Could you explain why?

A soft voice sounded. "It's like this..." Clem raised his head, wanting to explain to Princess Lana, but the next moment his voice caught in his throat, and he instantly became flustered and at a loss.

See!

Princess Lana's face was full of sadness, and glistening tears welled up in her blue eyes, making her look like she was about to cry at any moment.

"Princess, Princess, that..."

Clem suddenly became more flustered than ever before, abruptly standing up and almost hitting the top of the carriage, completely in a state of panic.

"Didn't you promise me you'd protect me forever?"

Princess Lana sobbed softly, a tear sliding down her fair and delicate cheek from the corner of her eye.

"Yes!"

Clem responded, his voice hoarse and panicked. He felt his heart breaking and quickly squatted down, half-kneeling on the ground.

Renas glanced at the flustered Clem, then at Princess Lana who was sobbing softly, her shoulders shrank back, and her eyes twitched slightly.

Slien Theocracy.

Education Capital.

The "Four Elements" walked silently out of the church, holding their magic wands, a hint of weariness in their eyes.

He was the representative of the Theocracy in making the first deal with Tang, the captain of the "Free Will" adventurer team.

He was the one who went to Aberleon Hills to conduct the transaction of "Infused Potion".

This was a memorable yet unpleasant trip!
The Aberle Hills were once the territory of the demi-humans, and even a strong person like him had to be careful when entering such a place.

If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad.

Such a crucial transaction, concerning the very survival of humankind, was never attended by that Mr. Tang.

What's even more infuriating and worrying is that...
The entire transaction was carried out by that demi-human named "Suiye," which was really unsettling.

“Hey.”

An impatient, yawning greeting rang out from ahead.

The "Four Elements" raised their heads, looking in the direction from which the voice came, their eyes narrowing almost imperceptibly: "Clementine?"

"Your report took a long time; we've been waiting for you for a long time."

Clementine greeted him with a grin, then, with a slight effort, rose from the corner she had been leaning against. The child walked briskly ahead, waving.
"That person wants to see you."

The "Four Elements" suddenly changed their expressions, their eyes flashing with a gloomy and uncertain look, before they lifted their feet and followed behind with their heads down.

We walked through the long corridor and arrived deep inside the church.

Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
A blur of speed moved swiftly across the distant training ground, the cross-shaped scythe swung, its black blade slicing through the air like a shadow.

It emitted a sharp, rapid whooshing sound!

The two, "The Four Elements" and Clementine, stood at the outermost edge of the training field, their breathing becoming increasingly rapid.

It was clearly just simple training.

The oppressive aura emanating from that figure caused a fine layer of cold sweat to break out on the foreheads of the two "heroes" without them even realizing it.

terrible!

The stronger one is, the more one can sense the terrifying power contained within that figure who casually wields a weapon and moves swiftly.

Facing such a powerful opponent, he would probably be defeated in a single encounter!

Clementine composed herself, involuntarily comparing herself to that man, but came to no conclusion.

Compared to the two of them.

The gap in strength between them is too great, just like an ant can never comprehend the power of an elephant, no matter how much it tries to imagine it.

The "Four Elements" turned pale. He was puzzled as to why this person had suddenly summoned him.

A fear that comes from the bottom of one's heart.

The "Four Elements" were lost in thought when suddenly, the commotion in the training field stopped, and he couldn't help but subconsciously lower his head.

Like an ostrich burying its head in the sand to avoid being spotted by a ferocious beast, the exposed half of its body actually becomes more conspicuous and ridiculous.

Zetsuki lightly touched the ground with both feet, and his agile figure soared into the air like a spring, landing in front of Clementine and the other two.

"You are here."

Zesshi Zesshi lazily raised his cross-shaped scythe and slung it over one shoulder: "Want to stretch a bit?"

We just finished a training session.

She wasn't sweating at all, and she couldn't even feel her breathing. The level of training was so high that she couldn't even warm up.

How about we do some activities?
Clementine and the "Four Elements" tensed up suddenly, their eyes revealing fear and tension.

joke!

Once they respond, all they'll get is a good beating. Even if they have healing magic to heal their injuries, the pain of the process is unforgettable.

"never mind."

Seeing the two's performance, Zesshi Zesshi remained indifferent and uninterested, but tightened his grip on the cross-shaped scythe.

It's painful to not have a truly strong opponent.

Perhaps that guy deserves to go all out... Father... What a ridiculous title.

"Is this the start of a sentimental phase?" Zesshi Zesshi didn't mind the two people in front of him hearing his own mutterings.

Clementine and the "Four Elements" remained expressionless, obediently keeping their heads down.

"By the way, why did they send you there?" Zeshi Zemei suddenly asked.

The "Four Elements" naturally understood that this was a question directed at him. Although they were puzzled as to why Zesshi Zesshi would care about this matter, they still answered truthfully.

"I think I know some inside information."

The "Four Elements" spoke respectfully: "Furthermore, the 'Infused Potion' is extremely valuable. Just in case, it's safer for our members of the [Dark Codex] to handle it."

"Of the entire Holy Scripture team, only I and 'Infinite Magic' possess teleportation magic, and you are also familiar with 'Infinite Magic's' personality."

The voice paused here.

The "Four Elements" breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed this wasn't something that worried him.

I made a point of leaving coordinates on this trip to Aberleon Hills so that I could use the "teleport" magic to travel back and forth when trading "infusion potions" and ensure my safety.

"Tell me what you saw?" Zeshi Zemei asked in a lazy tone, as if he were just asking out of boredom.

The "Four Elements" naturally dared not answer casually, even though the High Priest had forbidden him from revealing any related matters.

However, Jue Si Jue Ming held a very special position in the entire theocracy, and moreover, he didn't want to be beaten up for no reason, so he honestly responded to the whole process.

Jue Shi Jue Ming nodded, then waved his hand and said, "I understand. Let me know next time you go to the hilly area."

"Yes!"

The "Four Elements" were somewhat surprised, and nodded respectfully in response.

Jue Si Jue Ming turned around and returned to the training ground. Thinking of how Tang Zheng had slipped away in front of her last time, she let out a soft snort.
