My host is lazy again

Chapter 545 Picking up a cutie 18
Two days ago, the Lourdes knights found them on the king's order and asked them to help rescue the little princess.

They agreed, and then they left the cabin they lived in and came to the human place. The reward they asked for was Princess Chris's first birthday gift, that is, the jewel necklace containing magical power.

Now the little princess was rescued, but the king couldn't keep his promise.

Because the gemstone necklace is missing!
Maybe it was stolen and sold by thieves, maybe it was left there when the little princess was trapped in the forest.

But after hearing such a statement, how could the two witches give up?
Since there is no gemstone necklace, then give them half of the financial resources of the Kingdom of Kris.

The king hesitated, but the earls were firmly against it.

If half of the kingdom's financial resources were given to them, then the Kingdom of Chris would definitely fall into turmoil!
Seeing that they refused, the two witches were very angry.

They were small, haggard, and looked like two old hags to be bullied, but they were wizards with magical powers capable of disrupting a kingdom.Sitting on the magic broom, the witches looked down at the people below, with the magic wands in their hands bit by bit, as if they were about to cast magic all the time.

They are twins, and their behavior and appearance are very similar. I only heard them say in unison in their hoarse and rough voices: "If you don't give it, we will curse you."

Their words echoed in the hall, making people shudder.

Hearing the word curse, the faces of the people present suddenly changed.

They looked at the king together.

The king knit his brows in silence, and after thinking for a long time, he agreed to the request.

The earls below wanted to object, but they were afraid of the threat of the witch's curse, so they could only sit in their seats resentfully.

Next, boxes of gold, silver and jewelry were moved out of the treasure house.

Once opened, the exquisite gems and gold coins in the box glistened in the sun, exuding an irresistible temptation.

The witches showed satisfied smiles.

Under the gaze of the king and others, they just waved their magic wands, and dozens of boxes full of treasures in front of the treasure house disappeared.

Everyone was dumbfounded as they watched them fly away from the castle on magic broomsticks.

Thinking that more than half of the contents of the treasury were empty, the king sighed several times with a headache.

However, not long after, two royal knights rushed in with horrified expressions on their faces, "Your Majesty, that, that forest is eating people!"

Their statements are not exaggerating.

Because the guards outside the castle saw with their own eyes that countless thick vines suddenly sprang out from the forest, forming a bloody maw, wrapping the two black-clothed witches who had just flown out of the castle, and then dragging them down into the forest.

The king and earls hurried to the gate of the city.

There are many treasure chests scattered there.

Exactly the ones those two witches took away just now!

The king changed his mind and hurriedly asked people to move the treasure chests back and pick up the scattered jewels on the ground.

Facing such a strange forest, the knights who were packing up were frightened, for fear that the vines would suddenly attack them and drag them into it.

But after a while, they found that the vines that had protruded did not retract, but slowly spread towards the castle.The gate and the tall city wall are densely covered with thousands of vines and branches, as if wrapping a layer of green cloth on the originally splendid and magnificent castle.
