Seeing this situation, the Castle Lord had no idea what to do.

“They have already set off. It is estimated that they will arrive at the Dragon Castle in six hours. If they happen to meet the disciples of our academy, they might be able to shorten the time.”

The Guardian nodded and said to the Castle Lord, “How is the construction of the barrier coming along?”

The Guardian’s expression became serious as he said, “I have to say, this barrier is convenient, but it also consumes resources. We originally estimated that we would use those materials to build four barriers, but now we have only built two. The third one is about to be completed, but all the resources have been used up. We have to increase our investment.”

Hearing that, the Guardian frowned and said, “Then build three. Remember, no one can know about this. When necessary, we can use lightning to seal it for an hour!” A fierce light flashed in the Guardian’s eyes.

Hearing that, the Castle Lord nodded and said to the Guardian, “Okay, let the others go in the next batch?”

“Okay.”

In the secret room, the Ruler sat cross-legged and said to the Guardian, “No, this still won’t do. I want to add some strong information to this hour.”

The Guardian asked, “What kind of strong information?”

“Get Chi Yun to invite Hans. Remember, you must invite him secretly. It’s best if only Hans knows about it.”

After thinking about it for a while, the Guardian’s eyes lit up. He gave the RUler a thumbs up and said,

“Great idea, so great!”

The Ruler laughed and said nothing more.

An hour later, the two men in black entered the imperial palace.

The man bowed respectfully to the Ruler and asked, “I am Hans. May I know why the Ruler called me here in the middle of the night?”

The Ruler looked at Hans and smiled. “You know what happened today, right?”

Hans’s heart skipped a beat. He looked at the Ruler’s half-smiling face. After a long time, he cupped his hands and bowed deeply. He did not look at the Ruler in the eye and said, “I’ve heard a little.”

The Ruler heard this and nodded. “That’s good. Come and take a look at my body. What exactly is wrong with it?”

Hans could not stop complaining in his heart. He was really afraid.

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He began to feel uneasy. Just as he was thinking about what he should do, the Ruler spoke again.

The Ruler asked, “What is it? Why? Do you have something to hide?”

Hans quickly straightened up, shook his head, and said to the Ruler, “No, no, no, I don’t have anything to hide. Your Majesty, Please extend a hand and let me take your pulse.”

The Ruler nodded and extended his left hand.

Hans carefully placed his hand on the Ruler’s left hand and began to examine it carefully. Slowly, the most skilled pharmacist in the Otherworld frowned.

After a long while, Hans stood up and bent down again.

“What’s wrong? Why do you have to be like this?”

Hans said, “The diagnosis is really hard for me to say.”

The Ruler frowned and said,

“What’s the big deal? Just say it. I won’t blame you.”

Hans said slowly, “His Majesty’s divine power is unstable, and there are cracks in his spirit. If we don’t deal with it in time, I’m afraid… I’m afraid…”

“Afraid of what?” The Ruerl’s voice was as serious as Hans had never heard it before.

Hans said slowly, “I’m afraid that it will endanger his life, and there is a high possibility of another explosion like today’s.”

The Ruler’s expression was serious as he asked,

“Is there a solution?”

Hans hesitated for a moment, then shakily wrote out a prescription and handed it to Chi Yun.

“We can try this. Your Majesty, Please try to use less divine power during this period, or rather, don’t use it.”

The Ruler nodded and said,

“Thank you, Hans. Chi Yun, take Hans to the treasury later. See if there is anything he can use. Give him a few pieces.”

Hans was not in the mood to care about these things. He only wanted to leave as soon as possible. He quickly said, “Thank You, Your Majesty. I am taking my leave.”

“Go.”

Hans and Chi Yun turned around and left the secret room.

…

“Will Hans really tell Mike about this?”

The Ruler smiled and said, “Whether he will tell Mike or not, the news will eventually reach Mike’s ears, won’t it?”

The Guardian smiled and said, “That’s true. Although they are allies, it wouldn’t make sense if they don’t stick a few nails into each other.”

The Ruler nodded and smiled. “Next, let’s see how Mike will react.”

Hans returned to the gnome dwarf and paced around his room.

“Why does the Ruler insist on letting me go? Everyone could clearly see his illness. Although the pharmacists in the imperial palace were not as good as me, they were definitely the best in the Otherworld. How could they not see what his illness was? Could it be that… he wanted to attack me?”

Hans suddenly stood up from his seat and paced back and forth. After a moment, he shook his head and said, “No, if he really wanted to attack me, he wouldn’t have done it at this time. Moreover, if I diagnosed his illness correctly, he wouldn’t have any reason to attack me. If I diagnosed it wrong… it would be impossible!”

Hans was slightly relieved. He sat back in his seat and said to himself, “What exactly is the Ruler up to?”

Hans began to carefully recall the details after entering the imperial palace.

“I entered the imperial palace with my right foot…”

After half a day, Hans recalled the Ruler’s words,

“Did you see what happened today?”

When Hans recalled this, cold sweat instantly broke out again.

“No wonder he didn’t use his own medicine master in the palace, but insisted that I treat his illness. It seems that his goal is not me, but to get me to lure someone out. But, who could that person be?”

Many faces appeared in Hans’s mind, but they were instantly eliminated by him. In the end, a young and handsome face was fixed in Hans’s mind.

“Mike!” Hans actually cried out!

He looked left and right, then released his spiritual power to investigate the surroundings. After finding that there was no suspicious person in the surroundings, he heaved a sigh of relief.

His face was flushed red, and his chest was heaving violently. He muttered to himself,

“How could I have missed you, kid…”

Hans leaned back in his chair dejectedly. At that moment, he wanted to die. He asked himself what sin he had done to get to know Mike. Moreover, ever since he got to know Mike, nothing good had happened to him.
