Wizarding World Beekeeper.

Chapter 179 Princess Karen
"The last time we said goodbye, the princess often missed you and ordered us to come to greet you and go to the royal capital to reminisce about the past."

The female officer's voice was cold. After telling her the purpose of coming here, she looked at the mount under him and asked in a slightly softer voice:
"Do you have to go out for something?"

"It's not an urgent matter. Since the princess has summoned us, let's go."

Hua Mi guessed that the reason why the princess invited him over was related to honey. When they last met, she expressed her expectations for the new honey.

As soon as the period of chaos is over, are you impatient to send someone here?
"Go early and return early."

Hua Mi asked Xiaobai to stay and walked to the centaur's portal with this group of guards from the royal capital.

The female officer is the guide.

She walked to the portal, stretched out her hand to touch the stone door frame, whispered a centaur language, and the portal opened smoothly.

It seems that this female official has a very high IQ. Sure enough, she is not an ordinary person who can stay with the princess.

Follow the guards through the portal and arrive at the grassland near Modu.

There are aircraft waiting here.

In addition to the magic circle patterns that are common on aircraft, the surface is also printed with the royal family's logo.

After everyone got on the boat, the aircraft took off steadily and headed towards Modu.

Hua Mi walked aside, holding on to the railing and looking down.

A strange phenomenon was discovered.

Temporary checkpoints have been set up on several major roads around Modu.

Anyone passing by must stop and be inspected.

There is another level to pass at the city gate.

Looking at the faint magic fluctuations over there, there should be some kind of protective magic set up.

Double insurance is not strict.

You must know that there was not even a decent detection level last time, so I just went through it symbolically at the city gate.

What happened during this period?
The female officer seemed to see Hua Mi's doubts and explained: "To enter Modu now, you need to get a temporary admission certificate at the peripheral checkpoint, and you can only pass after confirming it at the city gate to prevent spies."

"spy?"

As far as he knew, the Kingdom of Tulum was not currently at war with anyone.

"Some bad things happened in the palace some time ago... I can only tell you that it has something to do with the Emerald City." The female official paused and then said, "Now our relationship with the Emerald City has dropped to a freezing point. There was just a message from the border yesterday. According to the news, a conflict broke out between the armies of the two sides and they are currently facing off."

Hua Mi heard the hidden meaning in her words.

The two countries are currently full of gunpowder. A spark can completely detonate it, and war may break out at any time.

"The princess asked me to come here this time. It won't be related to the war."

Thinking of this possibility, Hua Mi felt a little overwhelmed.

I thought it was a banquet, but it turned out to be a recruitment?

"It's okay to simply provide alchemy resources. The existing honeys have strategic significance, and other alchemy creations can also be refined by Hilya... But if you want me to participate more deeply, such as moving to Mordu, or If you want to go with the army...you have to find a way to avoid it in advance."

When Hua Mi was worried, the aircraft flew into Modu without any hindrance.

Stopped near the palace.

Next is walking.

But he didn't go to the palace, he still went to the palace that day.

When we reached the top of the artificial rockery, the guards stopped following us.

Hua Mi, led by the female officer, came to the side of the palace.

This is an exquisite garden.

Princess Karen was sitting face to face with a black-haired man in the courtyard.

The two of them looked down at the table, as if they were playing chess.

However, what is placed on the table is not chess pieces, but cards.It should be the most popular "army-breaking card" among the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms, and it is a test of strategy and wisdom.However, Hua Mi only had a superficial understanding and was not familiar with the rules.

"The person opposite the princess is Prince Brad." The female officer introduced in a low voice.

Prince Brad... seems to be the second oldest among the king's children.

Hua Mi remembered seeing it in a book.

The king had five children in total, three boys and two girls.

The oldest and youngest are two princesses, and the middle three princes.

Before she could get closer, Princess Karen took a card and smacked it towards Brad:
"Hehe, Brother Wang, I accept the concession."

"Ah—so annoying!"

Prince Brad didn't care about his image at all, he grabbed his long curly hair with both hands, and said full of resentment: "Little sister, you can't just let me have a game, you will ruin the good mood of the whole day! "

"Brother Wang, you are just unlucky. I don't need to let you go." Princess Karen smiled sweetly, "Let's stop playing here today. My guests have arrived."

While the brother and sister were talking, the female official also brought Hua Mi to the card table.

The handsome Prince Brad looked at him curiously:
"Little sister, this is..."

"A very skilled alchemist. We are going to discuss alchemy next. If Brother Wang is interested, you can join us."

Prince Brad immediately stood up and waved his hand: "Forget it. The ones I am least good at dealing with are these alchemists... No offense intended."

After that, the prince quickly left here, accompanied by two guards.

Princess Karen turned to face him, folded her hands on her lap, and said with a smile: "Long time no see, Bee Whisperer. How have you been lately?"

Hua Mi saluted her and said, "Thanks to His Highness, it's not bad."

Karen raised her hand and gestured to the stone bench opposite: "Don't be restrained, just sit down."

After Hua Mi sat down, Karen tilted her head and said in a half-joking tone: "I am here to meet you again this time. Do you feel disappointed?
"Because the elves are about to stir up trouble recently, my father is busy with government affairs. However, if you want to see him, I think he will still be happy to take the time to meet you, an excellent alchemist. Do you need me? Can you help me make arrangements?"

Hua Mi said firmly: "No need. It is already an honor for me to be received by the princess."

Princess Karen laughed happily when she heard this, with two dimples appearing on her cheeks: "I can tell that you mean what you said."

Of course it is sincere.

One hundred percent sincerely.

He didn't want to get involved in too many political matters - which was inevitable when dealing with the king.

Right now I only communicate with this princess, which is just right.

It was equivalent to establishing a buffer zone between him and the royal family.

"I heard that people from the Alchemy Society have been looking for you?" Princess Karen asked seemingly casually.

Hua Mi was not surprised that she knew about this.

The intelligence capabilities of the royal family should not be underestimated. There must be many spies in the Emerald City. The Alchemy Society is an important organization, so of course they will have people keeping an eye on it.

"Ah."

Hua Mi told her the brief contact that day without reservation.

There is nothing to keep secret.

"This is not the end." Princess Karen said, "I don't think they will let you go. You know, the Alchemy Society is an organization beyond national borders in name, but in fact it is now controlled by the Emerald City. For your safety For your own sake, I still suggest you move to Modu. You are the safest here."

No, I'm safest in the cabin.

Even if the sky falls, I can moisturize the earth.

Hua Mi declined politely.

Karen didn't try to persuade him anymore, but just told him to be careful and to ask the royal family for help at any time if he had any problems.
