Journey In A Fantasy World
Meet Again With The City Lord

"Prince Archi, are you willing to join us for the Mayor's recognition?" one of the examinees asked in a mocking tone.

Prince Archi reflexively puffed out his chest, "Of course! I've been bound by a common thread with the Princess Mayor. Defeating you only takes one second!" it's full of arrogance.

I patted the forehead, the prince who he said was so coveted these young women turned out to be very easily provoked by his emotions.

Rui snorted, "Don't it sound boring?" whispered to me.

I nodded in agreement.

"Your Majesty. Please don't make it difficult for us!" The bodyguards that were previously waiting at the back suddenly ran forward and knelt in front of their prince.

Prince Archi looked puzzled, about to drive the guards away, but somehow kept him away, "What's the matter?" tanyanya cold.

"Your Majesty. Don't trouble us anymore. Our Archi Town needs you more than the City Guardian Princess. Seeing you willing to risk your life for her is good enough, but can you defeat them? They are second high level magicians, you have only reached the first level. The fear is hard for you to endure, then aren't you indeed not—"

Cott!!

"Aw!" the bodyguard who had just nagged suddenly shouted and did not finish his sentence. Because Prince Archi unhesitatingly stepped on the back of their hands with the hard shoes he was wearing.

"Please!" Prince Archi called out ferociously.

The guards lowered their heads and did not dare to speak anymore.

"Your Majesty, please don't trouble us," the one who prostrated the very back exclaimed again.

"Please don't make it difficult for us!" others shouted following.

Rui and I stared at each other. It's a pretty rare sight. Never witnessed it in a lifetime, it turned out that there was still such a model stubborn prince!

"Oh!" Prince Archi snorted.

He flipped his body towards the Mayor, then bowed deeply, "Master, if not for putting the people first, I would have definitely taken this test. But if I only care about the Lord Princess Mayor, doesn't that mean I have neglected my duties as the successor to the throne of Archi City? Then please understand."

I almost laughed at hearing that, could he make the people as an excuse to escape from the problems he caused himself?

Rui shook her head in anxiety, "He's so tacky."

"He's a royal, Rui. Shouldn't it be?" I nodded while chuckling.

"Don't you just tell me, what's the trouble?" Rui went back to mocking herself.

I laughed crisply, "We just watch the drama, Rui. It's more exciting than the mandarin dramas Neo watches."

Rui replied to my laughter, "You're right."

After the departure of Prince Archi, the Mayor asked the participants to start the first exam. There were about eleven participants.

The Mayor wanted them to answer some questions related to the City Guardian Princess.

"If you dare to follow this competition, then you are ready for the various tests that I give." The City Lord stood up, strolling slowly in front of the handsome youths standing up, checking their firm faces one by one.

"First question!"

The faces of the youths suddenly stiffened, some were seen holding their breath. I even held my breath, what question will the Mayor ask?

"Since I was a child, I never announced the name of my only child to anyone. The only person who knows is my daughter. If you really like him, do you know what his name is?"

The young men stared at each other. It seemed like there had never been anyone who really knew about the real name of this City Guardians daughter.

"Is there anyone who really doesn't publish his name to such an extent?" Rui nudged my arm while whispering.

"There may be, Rui. Since coming here, hasn't anyone ever mentioned the real name of the City Guardian Princess?"

"Write your answers on gold paper, then leave them to me." The City Lord gave another instruction.

There were already two young men who gave their golden papers. Then follow the others.

"Don't if no one knew, then their answer was all wrong?" Rui whispered again.

I shrugged, "Maybe it's just a trap question."

After examining those answers, the City Lord's eyes continued to be on the four youths who submitted the ultimate answer.

Even separating their answers from the answers of other youths.

"My daughter doesn't like to communicate with strangers. The only thing he liked was taking care of the plants. All kinds of plants were always in every inch of his pavilion. But there was one plant that never grew in that place. Do you know what plant it is?"

The young men went back to silence. I remember when I first visited that Spring Flower Pavilion, there were indeed various types of flowers and herbs. How can anyone know what is and is not?

The Mayor distributed the next golden paper. The young men began to write down the answer. Again, the Mayor was made speechless by the answers of the four young men.

They always seem to collect the final answer. Make the Mayor pay more attention to their answer paper.

"Last question, my daughter is a picky girl, but her appetite is so bad. In one week, he could constantly eat a bolted goat. The second week was with the same menu. Then can you guess what menu he will eat the next week?"

Me and Rui stared at each other, this question is worse than ever. Does the Mayor think these young men are gods? How could you possibly know such unexpected things?

The Mayor distributed the golden paper again. And again the four young men gathered the last. The Mayor again looked at them, his facial expression looking satisfying.

"The ones who survived have already chosen." The City Lord put down the final reply paper with a wide smile, "In addition to these four young men, you guys did not pass the first exam."

The seven young men who were eliminated complained quietly, they tangledly walked over. It seems to be interested in the continuation of this test.

Me and Rui wondered what this second test was in form? Is the question like before?

"This second trial should be a magic test," Zhi whispered in my ear.

"It will be so exciting!" I grinned wide while answering his whisper.

"Jian, did you notice the face of the young man standing on the left?" Rui nudged my arm, I instantly directed my eyes following Rui's eyes.

"He why?" i muttered.

"It seems he's very confident of winning."

I looked at Rui in disbelief, "How did you know?"

"His expression was the same as Neo's expression when we first entered that ice maze, Jian. Do you remember?"

I nodded, "It seems so."

"Since you are the husband-to-be I chose myself for my daughter, can you name me?"

"I'm Aio. The only son of the owner of the Wuilan Inn in Luse City." The young man on the right side saluted.

"I'm Jeon. My father owns the Blue Dragon Pavilion." The young man beside Aio also lowered his head and smiled.

"How could you be the only son of Master Mario, the great wizard who owns the so famous Blue Dragon Pavilion? It's good luck for my daughter if you can win this test, Young Master Jeon." The Mayor smiled and saluted.

"Thank you for trusting me, Mr. Mayor." Jeon smiled wider.

"It seems that young man will win this test, Rui. The Lord Mayor respects him so much." I whispered in Rui's ear.

"I think the one standing on the left is."

Somehow Rui was so confident with the young man on the left.

"My name is Chan, Third Young Master of the Pearl Pavilion." The young man standing beside Jeon following saluted, The City Lord seemed to nod politely.

Now, the City Lord was already standing in front of the last young man standing to the left.

Rui looked forward to the young man talking. Of course, he hoped that the young man would get a good response from the Guardian Lord who was like Jeon earlier.

"Master of the City, we meet again after two thousand years of not meeting."

Everyone in the place was instantly silent. A silent atmosphere ambushed as soon as the last young man let out his voice. Not the usual introductions or greetings, it seemed, this young man had met and had a relationship with the City Lord long before this exam was held.

But, it seemed like Rui's hope had been shattered.

The City Lord's face looked uncomfortable upon hearing the familiar greeting of this last young man.
