chapter 259 part 2
The Player innate ability could manifest all the skills and magic techniques he saw onto the attribute panel.
There was no prompt now.
One, it was due to the special nature of Wild Magic.
Two, it was due to the special nature of the innate ability.
Three, the true trigger conditions had not been met.
Therefore, Tang Zheng had intended to try and make direct contact through a handshake.
The two princes' expressions were quite a sight to behold at this moment. They were trying their best to maintain their composure and the majesty of the Royal Family, but one could still feel the stiffness in their cheeks.
*Clatter, clatter—*
*Clatter, clatter—*
Just then, the sound of a large amount of armor scraping and clanking rang out in unison.
The large number of elite soldiers surrounding the outer perimeter had all dropped to one knee, their heads bowed respectfully.
"This is troublesome," Lakyus muttered.
Looks of nervousness also appeared on the faces of the two princes and Princess Renner.
Amidst the kneeling soldiers, several figures were walking toward them.
In the front and back were eight magic casters each. Judging by the magic robes they wore, there were clearly four mana-based magic casters and four faith-based magic casters.
At the very center of the eight magic casters was a figure draped in a red velvet cloak. With white hair, he looked ancient. His gnarled, branch-like fingers gripped a scepter.
On his head, he wore the crown that only one person in the entire Kingdom could wear.
The identity of this old man was self-evident: the King of the entire Re-Estize Kingdom—Ramposa III!
As this figure arrived before the crowd, the two princes, Princess Renner, Climb, Gazef, and Leinas all dropped to one knee in a gesture of salute.
In the entire field, only the people from Blue Rose and Free Will remained standing.
In the eyes of most people, such an action was not just a matter of disrespect; it was serious enough to warrant imprisonment, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to be directly executed for the "crime of disrespect."
Even for an adventurer!
It would be foolish to think an adventurer's status granted such impunity. Even the Adventurer's Guild Master had to bow when meeting the King and nobles.
The only reason these two adventurer teams dared to do so was because of their strength. Only by combining that with the "adventurer" card could it have some effect.
Lakyus glanced at her team members standing ramrod straight behind her and sighed inwardly again. She had actually subconsciously wanted to salute just now, but she had held back.
Because she knew her team members would not obediently follow her lead.
Thinking of this, Lakyus's beautiful eyes looked toward Tang Zheng's group, a flash of surprise in them.
Ramposa III did not look at the two princes or Princess Renner. Instead, he looked directly at the two adventurer teams, a kind smile on his wrinkled face.
"You little ones have certainly caused quite a commotion in my Royal Palace. Those who didn't know better would have thought the Royal Capital was under attack."
Ramposa III spoke with a chuckle, looking perfectly amiable.
Lakyus was a little embarrassed.
"Your father was telling me about you just a while ago. You've given him quite a headache," Ramposa III said to Lakyus in the tone of an elder.
"Father is always like that," Lakyus said in a small voice.
Ramposa III shook his head gently, then looked at Tang Zheng's group, his profound gaze landing on Tang Zheng. "The adventurer team Free Will. A very impressive name for an adventurer."
"You are all outstanding talents of the country. Any disputes should be resolved peacefully."
Throughout the entire process, Ramposa III showed no anger at the two adventurer teams for fighting in the Royal Capital, nor at their disrespectful behavior.
On the contrary, his words implied that he held the two adventurer teams in high regard.
"It is our honor to have our names remembered by Your Majesty," Tang Zheng said softly.
"Seeing you young people always makes one feel a sense of vitality. The banquet will be starting soon. Join us," Ramposa III said kindly.
"Um, Your Majesty, we have other matters to attend to, so we'll be leaving now."
Lakyus quickly spoke up, gave Ramposa III a deep bow, and then left in a hurry, as if fleeing.
Tang Zheng naturally had no intention of staying either. "We will take our leave as well, Your Majesty."
Ramposa III watched the rapidly departing backs of the two adventurer teams, his ancient, placid eyes betraying none of his thoughts.
From beginning to end, he never once looked at the people kneeling on the ground.
After leaving the Royal Capital together, Lakyus and Tang Zheng parted ways, each returning to their own stronghold. During their separation, the initial sense of unfamiliarity had vanished.
A single battle had clearly brought the two teams closer.
Or rather, a powerful adventurer team like Blue Rose would only pay heed to those of a similar caliber.
Strength has always been the best proof and calling card.
Inside the inn.
The Green Leaf Witch respectfully exited the room.
Enri had been in a daze the whole way back, still not having fully processed the day's events.
In such a short time, she had not only met a princess and princes but also His Majesty the King, and she hadn't even saluted. This incident alone was enough to shatter Enri's worldview.
As the two left, Tang Zheng immediately called up his attribute panel and spent his skill points.

Looking at the four newly mastered skills, a smile finally appeared on Tang Zheng's face. "The gains weren't huge, but at least the effort wasn't wasted."
