Chapter 51: His Majesty Laysen

  Looking at the Kingdom of Xis's royal city, Colton, in front of him, Hua Yun couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and reverence for the creator's ingenuity. In this era without machinery, Colton City gave Hua Yun, a modern person, an indescribable shock.

  The Blue Castle in the Kingdom of Xis is a relatively good medium-sized city, but compared to the royal capital of Colton, it can't help but give Huayun a feeling of being overshadowed.

  Even the gate guards at the city gate were all wearing silver-white armor, standing proudly at the entrance, their sharp eyes scanning the passersby, occasionally stopping and checking those who looked suspicious, but without any arrogant tone in their speech, instead being extremely humble.

  Sahe and others entered the city unimpeded and went straight to the imperial palace without resting.

  Originally, Hua Yun and Sa Ha wanted to go directly to the Plant Master's Temple to take a look at those divine plants. However, as the most important and secretive place in the country, the Plant Master's Temple was not a place where just anyone could enter. Even Sa Ha, as the steward of the Western Ice Kingdom's Plant Master's Temple, couldn't bring people into the storage area for the divine plants without the consent of the king of the Western Ice Kingdom.

  The horse carriage drove towards the center of Wang City, and before long, a huge palace complex appeared in front of Hua Yun. As they went deeper into the city, there were more and more people on the road.

  "Who are you? What brings you to the palace?" The guard at the gate shouted as soon as he saw Sahra and others' carriage.

  "Hurry up and let me pass, I have an audience with His Majesty." Sahara said to the several guards as she opened the curtain of her horse-drawn carriage.

  "It's actually Lord Sahara!" Those guards saw Sahara and immediately bowed respectfully to let him pass. The Plant Master of the Plant Temple, despite holding a low position in the kingdom, was not ordinary. Although their rank wasn't high, some higher-ranking officials were surprisingly respectful towards them.

  Upon hearing that Sahah had returned from outside, King Laisent of the Western Kingdom immediately had someone bring Sahah to a side hall beside the main hall.

  Lysander usually receives his ministers in the main hall, and only those he highly values are received in the side hall. Therefore, whether or not one can enter the side hall during an audience represents the degree of trust they have earned from the king of Westeros.

  "Saha, you're back!" Just as Hua Yun and Saha were waiting in the side hall, a majestic voice came from inside the hall. Then, Laisent, wearing a king's robe, walked out of the hall with a smile on his face.

  Rumors had it that Sahar returned, and Lysander immediately came to the side hall. These days, the kingdom's Plant Master tried every means but couldn't suppress the spread of the devil's curse. As the king, Lysander was extremely anxious, and only Sahar could control the spread of the devil's curse. In these days without Sahar, the devil's curse spread even faster among the divine plants, and no matter how hard they tried to stop it, they couldn't. Lysander was like an ant on a hot pot, his heart burning with anxiety.

  After such a big thing, Laisent, who was furious in his heart, wanted to cut off the heads of those low-ranking planters in the Plantation Temple and scold Rudolf severely. However, the planters were different from ordinary warriors and mages after all. Laisent only thought about it when he was anxious and angry in his heart. If he really wanted to cut off a few planters' heads, he wouldn't dare to do so unless he didn't want this kingdom anymore.

  "Your Majesty!" Seeing Laisent, Saha hastily stood up and saluted, while Huayun also gave a slight bow to Laisent.

  "Haha!" Laisent walked up to Saha, patted Saha's shoulder intimately and laughed: "I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Then he turned his gaze to Huayun and asked Saha: "Saha, who is this?"

  "Your Majesty, this is the Huayun I was telling you about. He's the one who taught me all that knowledge. Your Majesty, time is of the essence, we'd like to head to the Zhi Shi Temple immediately!" Despite Laisent's casual demeanor in front of Sahar, Sahar didn't dare show any disrespect and remained reverent with a full face of respect.

  "Haha, you're Hua Yun, indeed young and promising!"

  Lysander was mentally prepared, but he was still surprised when Saha said it out loud. Saha only mentioned that he was going to find someone to teach him these things, and didn't mention his age. In Lysander's imagination, the person should be an old man, or at least a middle-aged man, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be a young boy.

  Upon seeing Hua Yun, Laisen's heart couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed. As the king of the Western Kingdom, who stood above all others, he naturally understood that one shouldn't judge by appearances. However, at this moment, anyone would doubt whether Hua Yun had the ability to solve it. After all, this was a problem that even the kingdom's number one plant master, 6th rank plant conductor Rudolph, and the rest of the kingdom's plant masters couldn't solve no matter how hard they tried. Could a young boy like him really do it?

  "Your Majesty, I heard from Sahana that there are some problems with the divine plants in the palace, so I was invited by Sahana to take a look. However, I cannot guarantee that I can cure these divine plants, please forgive me." Although the person standing in front of Huayun was the ruler of a country, Huayun's expression did not show any awkwardness or unnaturalness. Huayun was not an inexperienced person, and on Earth, he had been received by many prime ministers and presidents.

  Laiscent saw the disappointment flashing in his eyes, and although it was only for a moment, Hua Yun caught it immediately. He didn't boast, although he had confidence in himself, but like when he treated Luna in the Magic Domain Mountains, he didn't say too much.

  Hua Yun's confidence was not born out of thin air, but rather from his self-assurance in his own abilities. If someone were to say they could defeat him in martial arts, Hua Yun would naturally believe them, but if someone said they could surpass him in understanding plants, then Hua Yun would have to compete with that person.

  After all, the knowledge of Hua Yun's brain combined the technological botany on Earth and the magical botany of Ailen Continent, plus Sheng Tianling's understanding of divine plants from another aspect. In Ailen Continent, it is said that no one can surpass him in terms of plant knowledge.

  "This young man is not simple!" As soon as Hua Yun spoke, a thought flashed through Laisen's mind. His tone was neither arrogant nor humble, and he didn't show any signs of nervousness even in the palace. His eyes were like a deep pool of clear water, unfathomable, and his words exuded an extremely strong self-confidence that even Laisen couldn't help but be infected by.
