Capítulo 1244: Chapter 1244: Crown Prince
Following He ng, Yang Yu and his party entered the city of slis, striding boldly towards the palace under the curious gazes of countless slis.
The journey towards the palace was not as smooth as imagined; their actions quickly attracted the sli guards defending the city and the nobles ruling it.
After a brief explanation and slipping so Clover to the nobles, Yang Yu and his party were able to safely pass through the entire city and enter the passage to the next city.
The sli city was not simple; it had plantations dedicated to vegetable cultivation, an academy city for learning, and burial grounds specifically for handling sli corpses.
Although called burial grounds, it actually involved exiling soulless slis to the surface through special pipelines, leaving humans to deal with them.
Dead slis would turn into sli zombies, which were very weak. Ordinary slis could easily kill them, but strangely, handling them usually posed a risk of reducing the lifespan of the normal slis.
The Sli Kingdom once experienced a zombie crisis where sli zombies relying on instincts occupied the living space of the majority of slis, voraciously devouring the normal slis’ food supply, leaving the normal slis unable to survive, and temporarily relocated to the surface. Only after adventurers cleaned up all the sli zombies did they move back underground.
Listening to He ng recount the story, Yang Yu beca increasingly interested in the origin of slis.
Demons once said that slis are the most primitive magic creatures, and the first plant to ta magic in this world is the Clover Alfalfa that He ng loves to eat.
As far as Yang Yu knew, a creature’s taste for food depended on its dietary habits, which in turn depended on whether the food it consud could provide sufficient nutrition and safety.
Humans find so food delicious, but to other creatures, it might have a different taste or even be poisonous.
In human society, phenona of reversing cause and effect often appeared.
People frequently ask why cats are so cute; it’s ti to change your thinking.
If cats are cute, the reversed cause and effect is that all uncute cats have been eliminated.
Slis might be in such a situation; perhaps all slis that found Clover Alfalfa unpalatable have died, leaving those that adapted to its magic infection as the only survivors.
What did the people in the past do to create this world?
However, if slis are truly very primitive magic creatures, how would they have such a culture?
The more Yang Yu thought about it, the more questions he had, realizing he could only try to find answers after eting the Sli King.
After passing through one city after another, it took Yang Yu and his party quite a long ti before entering a magnificent and grand passage.
At the end of the passage were four Level 160 Battle Slis guarding the entrance to the palace.
The palace was frequented by sli nobles in pretty carriages.
Upon seeing Yang Yu and his party, the four golden Battle Slis transford into human shapes, though they remained uncolored, resembling little golden figures.
They could also speak human language,
“Humans, this is a domain that you cannot enter lightly. Please return.”
Their voices were unwavering, as if nothing could sway them.
Even when Yang Yu waved Clover before them, they remained unfazed.
Despite prolonged efforts to persuade them, neither He ng was able to convince the four Battle Slis to let them pass.
At this mont, a luxurious carriage stopped, and out sprang a sli resembling He ng except bigger and wearing a custom-made red cloak.
He ng and the sli stared at each other from afar, engaging in an encrypted conversation using the sli language.
A while later, the sli in the red cloak jumped alongside the four golden slis and seed to say sothing using the sli language.
“Since the Prince has spoken thus, there’s no choice. As per your command, Your Highness.”
The four door guardian golden slis respectfully bowed to the sli in the red cloak, reverted to their original plump sli forms, and cleared the path.
He ng took two steps forward, transforming into a girl:
“You can proceed now. Make sure to follow him closely.”
The sli in the red cloak leaped down from the top of his carriage, transforming mid-air into a human teenager and gave He ng a helpless smile:
“As the youngest sibling in our family, I just helped you solve a problem, and yet you are still reluctant to call brother?”
He ng sheepishly averted her gaze, muttering: “So you also understand human language…”
“Of course. As the Crown Prince, mastery of various knowledge is essential. I have dabbled in human history and human linguistics.” The teenager was imnsely proud, turning to Yang Yu for introduction: “Greetings, humans. I am Helot, the first prince of the Sli Kingdom and the Crown Prince, He ng’s brother.
I have heard about the matter from my sister.
Thank you for escorting my useless sister ho. We thought she had long passed away.
You seem to have so important matters you wish to discuss with my parents, the King and Queen.
As a token of appreciation, I will introduce you to my parents.”
“You’ve been a great help. I am Yang Yu, a human adventurer, and these are my companions…”
Yang Yu smiled as he introduced his companions to the Sli Kingdom’s future king.
After exchanging pleasantries, Yang Yu and his party followed Helot into the Sli Kingdom’s palace.
He ng followed beside Yang Yu, seemingly unsure how to handle her outstanding brother, remaining silent during the journey.
Helot also said nothing, instead continuing to lead Yang Yu and his party through the narrow road into the palace.
The sli palace bore resemblance to the ancient imperial palace Yang Yu knew, with flowers, grass, and various unique buildings. Without guidance, one could easily get lost in this vast palace and inadvertently violate taboos.
Without taking detours, Helot led Yang Yu and his party straight to the main hall to pay respects to the King and Queen of the Sli Kingdom.
On the luxurious throne, two blobs of blue gel-like creatures, one bigger than the other, sat solemnly. They were much larger than average slis, bigger than an adult man.
Using the crowns on their heads and the clothes they wore, even without revealing their status panels, Yang Yu could discern which one was the King and which was the Queen.
