Zongman: A Dimensional Journey Starting from Fulilian

However, Shichen understood one thing: Rozwaal was indeed coming for him.

"After all, in a sense, I am like an illegal immigrant." Shi Chen confessed with a smile.

"Hour!"

Emilia suddenly scolded, "What are you doing? How can you just say something like that?"

"Don't worry, Rozwaal won't expose me, right?"

"Well..." Rozsval smiled meaningfully.

"Shichen! You can't be so optimistic!" Emilia reminded in a serious tone.

"Of course I know. It's because you, Emilia, have a good relationship with Rozwaal that I told you directly."

"this......"

Chapter 487 Silver Hair Control

"Oh~ It seems that Shichen has a high degree of trust in Emilia~" Rozwaal joked.

"Isn't that normal? It's because Emilia is so cute."

"Cute! What are you talking about at this time?" Emilia became shy.

"I'm just telling the truth."

"No, don't say that..."

"Alright alright."

Seeing that Emilia's face was getting prettier and prettier, Shi Chen stopped teasing her.

"Shichen, are you also interested in Lady Emilia?" asked Roswaal.

"Yes." Shi Chen nodded in acknowledgement.

"Oh~ It turns out that you are still a passionate man."

"I just like pretty and cute girls."

"Shichen... why do you sound like a playboy?" Emilia frowned and stared at him, the blush on her face had not yet faded.

"Who told me not to like lying? Don't worry, Emilia, I don't like everyone I meet, so don't be jealous."

"Why should I be jealous?" Emilia was embarrassed.

"Oh my~ Shichen, you are not going to capture all the girls in my mansion, are you?" Roswaal interrupted.

"If you can, I don't mind."

"Really? Please show some mercy, or I'll be left alone."

"That's not necessarily true. Someone may be reluctant to leave you." Shichen glanced at Ram.

"Thank you for your good words." Rozsval did not look at Ram.

"Come to think of it, Emilia said she was staying at your place as well. What's your relationship?"

"Oh~ Are you jealous now? Don't worry, Lady Emilia is just learning from me~" Roswaal replied with a smile.

"Study? It should involve many aspects, right?"

"Shichen, you are really smart. Did Beatrice tell you something?"

"Come on, Chen and I won't talk about meaningless things." Betty retorted unhappily.

"That's what Shichen guessed himself? He's really smart."

"It's because my encounter with Emilia is a little strange." Shi Chen replied.

"Hmm..." Emilia was speechless due to embarrassment.

We met because something was stolen. It was such an important thing, so embarrassing.

But she was still very glad to meet Shichen.

"But Shichen, you probably don't understand the current situation of this country, that is, the Kingdom of Lugnica, right?"

"Isn't it a problem if you understand it so quickly?"

"Shichen, why do you seem so proud?" Emilia looked at him helplessly.

"After all, I feel proud when I tell the truth, unlike someone who didn't even want to tell me his name at first."

"Well......"

"So, what is the current situation in this country?" Shi Chen teased Emilia appropriately and then returned to the main topic.

"This country is not in a very stable state right now. After all, Lugnica has no king right now." Roswaal replied indifferently.

"No king?" Shi Chen pretended not to know and looked shocked.

"Haha, don't worry, this is a fact that everyone in the market knows."

"Isn't that terrible?"

A country without a king is no different from a person without a soul.

"Yes, the country is very unstable right now because of this~"

"In that case, what about the king's descendants? Won't they inherit the throne?" Shi Chen asked

"Well, that's generally the case, but the cause of the incident can be traced back to half a year ago. At the same time as the king's death, a plague suddenly spread in the city."

"plague?"

"Yes, and it's a plague that can only be transmitted to people of a certain bloodline."

"So, the only ones who are infected with the plague are the king and his descendants?"

"That's it."

"You're telling me this, it should be related to Emilia, right? You even called her sir... Don't tell me she's some candidate for king or something?"

"Bingo, you guessed it right~" Rozsval said praisingly.

"..."

Shichen didn't bother to pay attention to him and looked at Emilia.

"Shichen, I'm sorry, my current title is one of the candidates for the 42nd king of the Kingdom of Lugnica, and the Border Earl of Roswaal is my backer." Emilia confessed with an apologetic look in her eyes.

"Why are you apologizing to me?" Shi Chen looked at her with amusement.

"Well... I've hidden it from you for so long..." Emilia lowered her head embarrassedly.

"What's the big deal? You shouldn't have told me this when I just met you... But Emilia is one of the candidates for king, and she might become queen in the future. Thinking about it this way makes me even more excited."

“My heart is beating!?” Emilia blushed with embarrassment.

"Alright, alright, don't be so ambiguous in front of me, Lady Emilia, take that out."

"Ah."

Emilia, still shy, took something out of her arms and placed it on the dining table. It was something that Shichen was very familiar with, and it was also something that brought him and her together.

It was the badge Emilia had lost before.

The badge shone brightly on the white cloth. It had a gem in the center and a dragon as its totem. It looked like something extraordinary.

"The dragon is the symbol of Lugnica, and they value it so much that they call themselves the Dragon-loving Kingdom of Lugnica. There are dragon images everywhere on the city walls and weapons, and this emblem is the most important among them—"

Roswaal paused, looked at Emilia, and motioned for her to continue explaining.

Emilia slowly closed her eyes and said in a deep voice: "The qualifications of the participants in the royal election are confirmed by this badge... It is a touchstone to confirm whether the holder is suitable to sit on the throne of the Kingdom of Lugnica."

"It turns out to be such an important thing. It's a pity you lost it before." Shi Chen shook his head helplessly.

“It’s not that it was lost. It was stolen by a bad girl with dirty hands.” Emilia retorted in a low voice.

"Well, what's the difference?"

"Well......"

"Sure enough, Emilia is still not mature enough."

"really."

Rozwaal nodded. "A king is someone who carries the kingdom on his shoulders. If someone who shoulders this heavy responsibility cannot even protect a small badge... that would be ridiculous. It's hard to imagine why we would entrust the country to this person, right?"

“…” Emilia lowered her head, unable to refute a word of shame.

"So, Emilia, you didn't want my help at the beginning because you wanted to handle it yourself? You didn't want to rely on external help?"

"Is such that......"

"Come to think of it, that Gut Hunter wanted to kill people to silence them. It seems that someone deliberately commissioned Firut to steal your badge." Shi Chen looked at Rozwaal with a meaningful expression.

Roswaal's expression remained unchanged. "That's right. If I want her to lose her qualification to participate in the Royal Election, stealing her badge is the easiest way."

"In that case, if I help you, Emilia, get the guild badge, isn't that a great favor to you?" Shi Chen reacted.

"Well, Shichen, you are my great benefactor. In order to repay your kindness, please speak up."

"......What are you talking about?" Shi Chen looked at her helplessly.

"Hmm? Shichen, don't you want to be paid? I will do anything within my ability." Emilia raised her hand and pressed it on her chest, saying seriously.

"Oh, you really are an idiot."

"Eh?"

Shichen stood up, put Betty in her seat, then came to Emilia's side, stretched out his hand, and gently rubbed her head.

"Time?" Emilia looked up at him in confusion.

"I just said it casually. I helped you out of my own heart. How could I do it for reward?"

Shichen inserted his five fingers into Emilia's hair, feeling the silky touch of her hair.

Now, he could touch her head openly and without any worries.

"My true heart..." Emilia looked at him in a daze.

"What? You don't believe what I said?" Shi Chen asked with a smile.
