Chapter 373 – Imperial Capital City (1/2)

“I heard! The poster is looking for anyone with abilities to heal Princess Luminous that’s suffering from a rare sickness. I also heard the poster was posted up in every city but no one has dared to attempt it yet.”

“Let’s not even mention whether we have such a godly doctor amongst us. Even if we do, our current monarch is extremely weak while the Empress is interfering in government affairs. We don’t even know who are good and who’s evil right now so who would dare bring trouble unto themselves? Before you even receive the rewards, someone might say your tainted Princess Luminous’s body in the process and put you to death, then that’s really not worth it!”

“That’s right, and it’s best if we discuss this as little as possible. Who knows if someone is eavesdropping on us right now and accuse us of something, then we’ll be screwing ourselves over.”

Speaking to this point, those several people stopped the topic and started chatting about random stuff.

Lei Yu ordered some dishes and alcohol and started eating quietly by himself. What he was currently worried about was where that Ancient Gray Beast was hiding. For such a powerful flame monster, there’s no one around here that is capable of dealing with it. The people of this world were the most ordinary of ordinary that didn’t have any special abilities.

Lei Yu really wanted to know what kind of world this was, but he didn’t dare to ask outright. If he was to really ask about this, most likely people will take him for a joke or think he was some crazy person. The only thing he could do right now was slowly learn about this place through the conversations of others.

After leaving a white crystal stone, Lei Yu turned around to leave when one of the workers of the restaurant yelled out: “Sir, I haven’t given you the change yet!”

Lei Yu didn’t bother turning his head and just waved: “No need!” After saying that, he started walking towards the city’s main entrance. Most posters and general notices were posted at the main gates of the city. Since it wasn’t far from where he currently was, Lei Yu decided to take a look at the notice so he could get a clearer picture of what those other patrons of the restaurant were talking about.

The bulletin board area was packed with people. Lei Yu stood very far away but could still read the post clearly. And everything written on it was basically what those patrons were chatting about in the restaurant.

Those people looking at the notices were whispering with each other and Lei Yu locked onto one of their conversations. “Did you know? Princess Luminous is our monarch’s only child, so he especially dotes on her.”

“That’s right, and that vicious Empress also loves Princess Luminous dearly. Now that Princess Luminous is suffering from some incurable sickness, all the imperial doctors were helpless and have been killed off by Empress. Everyone in the imperial palace are all in a panic, so that’s why they posted notices up in all the cities of the empire’s territory. They’re hoping that can find some able person to heal our Princess Luminous.”

“Since that Empress is so vicious, which capable person would even dare to go try?”

Lei Yu smiled, “It looks like this Empress isn’t a good person. Someone that cannot treat her daughter’s illness so she decides to kill or jail them? Should I involve myself with this matter?”

Those that got involved with the affairs of the imperial palace have no place to hide, but Lei Yu was someone that didn’t care about that. No matter how powerful the palace was, there’s no way they could do anything to him, right? Since he couldn’t find the whereabouts of the Ancient Gray Beast, he might as well go visit the palace to take a look around.

Lei Yu walked up and tore off the notice from the bulletin board and waited for the nearby soldiers.

Once Lei Yu tore off the notice, the surrounding commoners started shaking their heads and sighing. There was even someone off to the side commenting: “What a pity for this young man. Who knows what kind of tricks the vicious Queen will pull this time!”

Lei Yu didn’t care about their discussions. As if someone tipped the government off, a pair of soldiers arrived a short moment later. Seeing the notice in Lei Yu’s hands, one of the soldiers asked: “Are you the one that tore off the notice because you’re interested in the task?”
