Battle of Ascension Chapter 192: Meeting King

"Oh shit, that was a red light. I thought, at most, that kid would get a yellow light," Hermit Varikh blurted out subconsciously after looking at Randy teleported with a red light.

Randy currently was standing in a huge and majestic hall. Below his feet was a red carpet stretched out from the entrance to the front of the throne. The throne was made of crimson crystal as the throne was glistening with red light.

Behind the throne, there was a huge picture. Randy guessed the picture was the emblem of Crimson Cloud Kingdom as it was a crimson cloud picture. The picture was quite simple, only a crimson cloud with a pair of fire wings.

Randy and the three others were standing in front of the throne while there was a man wearing a black crimson armor in the front of them. He was the one who brought the four to come here and his name was Rosikh, a captain in the Crimson Cloud Kingdom's army.

The throne was supposed to be King of the Crimson Cloud Kingdom throne. On his left side, there were sixteen people were wearing a crimson robe. The robe was like an ancient Roman robe.

These sixteen had a somber and furrowed look as they looked at the four which were standing in the middle. But one thing was sure, these sixteen looked at the four with disdain. Especially, for the person the nearest throne, the disdain was clear on his face.

Earlier, Randy remembered Rosikh asked where they were coming from, Limera answered they were coming from the earth. Limera even explained the detail of the earth, especially for Ivory Coast where he came from.

After hearing the answer, Rosikh frowned and asked their mission. In the end, Rosikh shook his head and said in a bitter tone, "It's gonna be hard for you guys,"

Randy asked why, but Rosikh said nothing to them. Thinking what Rosikh said earlier and looked at the sixteen on his left, more or less he knew what was the meaning Rosikh's words.

Meanwhile, on his right, there were also sixteen people. But different from the people on the left, the sixteen on the right were wearing gold-crimson armor with a gold cloak on their back. Also, these sixteen had a stern and serious look, also, somehow, he could feel a wild and oppressive aura around them.

But he could not guess what the sixteen on the right were thinking about of him as from the first time he came here, no one of them took a glance at him and the three others.

More or less he guessed the identity of these thirty-two people. If compared to the system on the earth before the Battle of Ascension, the sixteen on the left were the official government while the sixteen on the right were the people from the military.

Randy stood beside Limera silently as he was waiting for the King of Crimson Cloud Kingdom. On the way, the dude from Europe and America ended their conflict after Rosikh explaining to them, there was no way for the reward double even one of them died.

Rosikh explained to them it was because the mission they were partaking had high difficulty that was why both had the same mission. After explaining this, both stopped their conflict and even made an alliance to complete the mission together.

They changed faster than Randy expected. The dude from America Continent was Griggs Evan, he had spiky brown hair, with golden eyes which were very attractive, pale white skin, and about 1.7 meters tall.

Also, from his look only, Evan looked like a feeble scholar with a handsome face. If Randy had not watched the fight earlier, he would think so. As for the dude from Europe, his name was David Oriele.

He had short curly hair, bronze skin, his face was frosty cold, and somehow he looked sinister. Despite giving out sinister aura, despite his cold look, nevertheless, he was still looking handsome.

Apparently, David was an assassin. Before the Battle of Ascension, he was an assassin and after Battle of Ascension started, he was also an assassin. On the way, he told them he already killed 21 people and 3 out 21 were guild leaders.

David even told them if they wanted to assassinate someone they could ask him to; he was promoting his business to them which left Randy speechless.

After the introduction, even though they were not close, they had to be because of the frank and chatter Limera. Limera even advised David to stop his business and follow him adventuring the new world.

Remembering what they were talking about earlier, Randy let out an amused smile.

'But this King... isn't it too long?' Randy complained inwardly. He had been waiting for half an hour, yet the King had not come yet.

Before coming to the hall, Rosikh explained to them, every the trialers came from the Gateway Trial, they should meet the King first before letting them carried out their mission. That was why the four were waiting in this big hall.

Five minutes passed by and finally, the King of the Crimson Cloud Kingdom appeared. Randy and the other made way as they walked to the side red carpet and let the King passed.

After the King entered the hall, the thirty-two people knelt down and said in unison, "Your Majesty!"

Limera followed along as he knelt down, Randy bowed his head for 45 degrees, while David and Evan just stood still, looking at the King.

Beside the King, there was a middle-aged woman wore a crimson gown, and followed along with a girl in her teen and a man about 30 years old.

Randy guessed the middle-aged woman was the queen, the 30-year-old man was the prince, and the girl was the princess. The King and Queen put an amiable smile as both were looking toward them.

When the King and his family were passing them, Randy noticed the prince frowned as he looked at them while the princess put a curious look. Within this family, there was a noticeable trait within them. It was the crimson hair, the King, Prince, and the Princess' hair was like blazing fire, while the Queen had golden hair.

The King seated on the throne while the Queen seated on the King's right while the prince and the princess were on the King's left. Just as the King and his family took a seat,

"Presumptuous! Impudent!" A furious shout rang in the hall.

Randy, Limera, David, and Evan simultaneously looked at the source sound. They looked it was the middle-aged man which was wearing crimson ancient roman robe who was shouting just now. It was the minister which was standing nearest to the throne.

This middle-aged man had a hatchet-faced with only left a few strands of hair on his bald head. Currently, this middle-aged man wore a furious look as he pointed his finger toward Randy's group.

'Here you are, the trouble is coming,'

Randy already guessed these ministers would look trouble for them, but he didn't think it would come this soon.

Randy looked at Limera who was put confused look as he looked at the furious minister, David still wore his cold look, while the expressionless Evan was frowning, clearly, he was displeased being shouted and being pointed by the furious minister.

But to his surprise, the King also displeased with the shout just now. The King frowned as he looked at his minister.

"What is it, Minister Farhar? Why are you shouting?" The King asked the minister with an assertive tone. Clearly, from the way how King asked the minister, the King displeased. Minister Farhar who was shouting just now realized the King was displeased.

Minister Farhar looked at the King direction, he put his right hand on the chest, and bowed to King, "My apologies for my rudeness, but this trialers didn't kneel when they saw the King. That's why I was angry at them,"

Before even the King answered, there was a cold voice rang in the hall, "Kneel? Why I shall kneel? Even though he is your King, but he is not my King!"

All people in the hall looked at the person who was speaking, looking at Evan who was currently pointing his finger toward the King.
