"Dangdang, dang, dang! Today's breakfast is quite generous! So, is Xiao Luxi going to bathe and change his clothes first, or drink deer blood soup and lychee stewed mutton first, or first, eat, me? ”

Lu Xi personally felt that if it was really the two of them alone, with the temperament of Her Royal Highness the First Princess of the World, it would not be impossible for this kind of unfolding that would destroy the world again. However, it is a pity that in Diana Hall, in addition to Karin, who has taken off her armor and changed into comfortable civilian clothes, there is also a majestic old man wearing the uniform of a high-ranking general of the Oakland Forbidden Army. If you take a closer look, who else is not the first person in the entire Auckland Empire to hold a theoretical military position, one of the only two marshals, the commander of the Third Army and the chief military adviser to the emperor, and the second minister of the royal army, Count Cornieli? Looking at this, Karin probably had already talked to the old marshal for a night, and she didn't know if this old man, who was over seventy years old, could hold on.

Of course, after Emperor Iken ascended the throne and restored the privy council system, he also added the title of secretary of privy council to the old marshal, which was regarded as an official recognition of the old man's equal status with the long-established heads of the gate lords and nobles, but this still could not bring him closer to the forbidden army. Just like another prime minister with the position of the chief of the Privy Council, the old marshal did not even attend a single meeting of the Privy Council, and was not prepared to give Emperor Ikon any face at all.

"Marshal Corneli, little Lu Xi has also seen it. I talked to him all night and simply stayed for dinner. "Even in front of His Excellency the Marshal, Karin doesn't care. Instead, he greeted Lu Xi with a rather intimate and natural attitude, as if he was also another master in this Yongchen Palace. There was no falsification in her words. Frank and unrestrained. If you were someone else, this kind of behavior would definitely be despised as a rude, rude, uneducated, and heartless fool. But on Her Royal Highness, the world's first princess, she looks heroic and hearty. Maybe it's because of her looks and temperament, or maybe it's because of her aura as the ultimate victor - all in all, the world is so realistic, if you want to feel uncomfortable, how about being a winner?

Is this what is called a leisurely breakfast time? Lu Xi couldn't help but pout. If it was only him and Karin, it would naturally be considered a break, but if there was one more "outsider" present. Fools believe that everyone doesn't talk about business, but only chats about Kan Dashan.

Lu Xi was naturally a little dissatisfied, but the old marshal on the side was even more surprised than Lu Xi. Like Lu Xi, the old man didn't think that the new supreme of Auckland in front of him (who was just missing a coronation) left him alone to chat, and even he had more or less guessed what the other party would ask him about, and was silently organizing his words. But what I never expected was that when it came to this kind of palace secret, Her Royal Highness the World's First Princess not only didn't think of avoiding that magician, but even called him over.

"Her Highness Caterina seems to be serious. In other words, this is called Lu Xi? Perhaps the magician of Belencaster will become the figure above 10,000 people under Auckland as the queen's husband? However, he was the caster of the Alliance of Learning. Or an officer of the Federation? Well...... When you think about it, this may not be entirely unacceptable either. ”

The brain-opening old man immediately brought himself into the role and responsibilities of the patriarch and important minister, and began to seriously ponder the impact of the personal problems of Her Royal Highness the world's first princess on the future national politics.

Naturally, there are foreigners in the Auckland Empire. Even the empress who was born elf, but the empress's husband does not seem to have a similar example. Anyway, the old marshal racked his brains. I couldn't think about it for a long time, so I decided to find a historian and ask it seriously.

"Your Excellency, Marshal. I see you're in good spirits, but the toxin has been removed, right? Lu Xi said hello to the old man, and of course he naturally made it to the chair closest to Karin.

"It's just some movement restriction anesthetic, and it doesn't last long. Everyone has recovered. The marshal was not pretentious, and naturally accepted the other party's greetings, but his face showed a very kind and full of vicissitudes of charm, just like all the well-known and open-minded and kind old men of Nadaguan next door. Even the most violent bear child will definitely calm down when he sees such a smile like Santa Claus.

All the old people, as long as they don't deliberately keep a straight face, will be kind to their eyes, this may be a truth, but for the more than 200,000 soldiers of the Central Army in Auckland, this kind of truth is absolutely impossible.

If ordinary knights of the forbidden army saw the old man's expression, they would definitely be so frightened that they would not possess their bodies, and then they would begin to suspect their own three views. As a matter of fact, in the eyes of the officers and men of the Central Army, the old marshal, who was usually silent and did not give any truth to anyone, was like a pool of cold pools with no bottom visible, and he was by no means an amiable and loving father -- this old man, who was already over 70 years old, was still full of energy as a young man. On more than one occasion, he reprimanded a general in front of a large group of soldiers, and he also personally led the inspection team and led fierce dogs to raid the barracks. He even withstood all the pressure from around him, and personally killed officers born in the great nobility who violated military discipline.

In the eyes of the soldiers, this old marshal, who had served almost the entire Sun King era, had already become an unattainable idol, like King Kong's angry eyes, as long as he thought about it, he felt a palpitation and awe. When could they have imagined that such a kind smile would appear on his face?

However, we need to know that all people who live to this age and are still in high positions have their own flexible and intelligent philosophy of life. The old marshal was almost certain that even if Lu Xi was important in the eyes of Her Royal Highness the World's First Princess, this young magician would definitely become a pivotal figure in influencing national politics and history in the future; Not to mention the fact that he had saved his own life a few hours earlier, as well as the future of almost the entire empire.

In that case, of course, the old man Corneli didn't mind being polite and affectionate to the other party. Anyway, it's just a joke, and there's nothing to lose. You can climb to such a high position as an old man. Just by virtue of the so-called heroic and good fighting?

However, the next moment. The old man could no longer laugh.

"The golem of Belat Mea, according to the woman, was taken from an underground treasure vault. Until then, the thing had been gathering dust in the corner of the storeroom. Karin said in a casual tone, "Is there anything you can tell me about this?" ”

Lu Xi coughed, almost spitting out all the milk he had just drunk.

"This is Anders cow's milk, drink more but it has the effect of strengthening the body and prolonging life, the annual output is only a little bit, and the price is more than ten times that of ordinary milk." Karin gave a look of pity. Looking at Lu Xi's eyes, it was like looking at an uneducated barbarian, and he almost opened his mouth to curse the other party directly, "Wasting food will be punished by heaven!" ”

"You have to be graceful and polite when eating, how ugly it is! The countess is right, Xiao Lu Xi really needs to be re-educated in court etiquette or something. ”

"A large part of court etiquette is used to fool people, which is both time-consuming and unproductive. The so-called 'fear of Wilvan', that's because you have no other way to make yourself majestic, you can only pretend to be forced with luxurious and solemn palace rooms and cumbersome court etiquette. Lu Xi hurriedly took out a hand towel and wiped his mouth: "Besides, who told you to say so suddenly." Are you going to wait for me for the rest of my life? ”

"I can serve you for the rest of my life, as long as you don't run around and provoke other girls." Her Royal Highness the world's first princess is rightfully authentic. And so. In this way, the crooked building suddenly came to a flirtatious conversation, which suddenly made the old marshal next to him a little restless.

It must be said that there had been a battle in this luna hall a few hours ago, and it was a mess at the time. I don't know how much the priceless antiques and exquisite works of art have been damaged, but after a while, they have almost returned to their original appearance, at least there are no traces of the battle. And this long table, which was obviously half flattened by Lu Xi and Miss Dragonborn with magic bombardment, was also repaired. Uh, or rather, just a different one to the exact same. The table is already lined with a wide array of Auckland court delicacies. The variety of snacks, side dishes and beverages is as exquisite as a work of art. made Lu Xi, who had obviously already eaten a meal, couldn't help but move his index finger again.

I have to say that the servants of Yongchen Palace are really quite efficient.

"Anyway, I have to ask. Isn't it the same thing a little earlier or a little later? Karin said as she pleased, spreading jam on the bread. It was as if her question just now did not involve the black history of the Holy Spring Royal, but was just an appetizing gossip topic to be used at the dinner table.

"Your Highness, such a straightforward style reminds me of Her Majesty Estelle." The old marshal shook his head, his smile not so much a wry smile as an inexplicable feeling of relief for the wind.

"I've always been brought up by her old man, you know. And looking at it, I am indeed a good student! Her Royal Highness the First Princess of the World suddenly smiled brightly: "Grandfather and grandmother's earliest comrades-in-arms and followers, now you are the only one left. ”

"Only one left? What is that old Earl of Malbran, who almost treats you as his own granddaughter? Lu Xi also picked up a piece of bread and spread the jam. Although he had already eaten it, it was actually quite interesting to eat it again.

"Grandpa Grede...... Well, let's count it as an old friend of my grandmother. He was only a local lord, and he had never served in the center in his life, so he would certainly not be as well-informed as the marshal. Lu Xi was sure that Her Royal Highness the World's First Princess actually wanted to say "spare tire", but he couldn't find the right word for a while, so he used the subtle word "old friend" ambiguously.

That old man is so pitiful...... Well, all those who have been spare tires all their lives have an immortal heart.

"After fifty years in and out of the Imperial Capital and Yongchen Palace, there are some unseen palace secrets, and you may know better than any Di Mahia." What the hell is going on with that golem? How could there be a creation of a demon god in the treasure house of the Holy Spring Royal. Moreover, how could that cultist woman know about such a private matter? ”

"Your Highness, the old minister is just a martial artist, because he lives longer. I probably know some secrets that no one else knows very well, but that's all......" The old man looked distressed. After thinking about it seriously, he said slowly: "The only thing that the old minister can be sure of is. The ancestors of the Holy Springs royal family did have some subtle connections with the Nightmare King Belatmea. ”

Although she had already been mentally prepared, Her Royal Highness the World's First Princess still raised her eyebrows involuntarily, and then showed a sneer that she didn't know who she was mocking: "Heh~~~ Could it be that Emperor Knoeus and Belat Meia made a deal and sold their souls to a demon god in exchange for this empire?" ”

"If your family is just ordinary rich and noble families and small nobles, then this kind of transaction makes sense." Lu Xi took a bite of the queen's bread with good jam and felt that it tasted really good. Only then did he pout: "The so-called trade of the demon god can be exchanged for an empire?" If Belat Mea really was so powerful, she wouldn't have been hiding and playing tricks all the time. If a creature like a god is a so-called mystic, there is only one possibility...... Strength is not enough. Also, are you stupid to be a 100 million Aucklanders? One of the biggest differences in the Age of Mythology is that the gods are no longer omniscient, omnipotent, and good, and the Golden Seed is not an unshakable ruling class. We, the lowly people of black iron, are not so easy to fool, and we are already the rulers of this world. ”

Although what Lu Xi said was the truth. But it is clearly a very lofty and completely irrefutable view of class history to expound this issue, and those who have not been baptized by the glorious baptism of the red flag will surely feel very harsh. For example, His Excellency Marshal, who is already a handful of years, although he intellectually admits Lu Xi's words, he is not very emotionally acceptable, and he shows disdain for the gods in and out of his words.

"How can you speak so sharply at such a young age? Such a sharp personality makes it too easy to alienate yourself from the world. That's not a good thing. The old marshal looked at Lu Xi deeply, and began to think about the problem from the position of a loyal minister: "In the future, I have to persuade this person to restrain himself." A maverick supreme who is too radical in his thoughts and practices. Neither for the empire nor for himself. Since he is destined to be side by side with the future queen of Auckland. Then you have to restrain your temper. ”

The marshal pondered as he pondered what kind of words he should use to advise the other party in the future. But then I noticed Karin's expression, a "Wow, it's so dark and beautiful, I really like it", and there was even obvious recognition and a hint of adoration in Yanran's smile.

"What a natural pair...... "The only remaining old minister who had followed the Sun King since he was young sighed in his heart, feeling that his workload had increased a lot all of a sudden, and he had a feeling of congestion.

He smiled bitterly in his heart, and said to the young and beautiful lord in a slow tone: "Emperor Knous the Great is the commander of the Dawn Alliance, and he led the alliance of various races to finally defeat the legendary hero who banished the demon god and saved this world, this is impossible to deny no matter what! The victors of the three major battles, the saved dwarven kingdoms, the fishmen and argons who stood side by side with the emperor in the sea, they are all witnesses to that period of history. And Your Highness, you must know that the Holy Springs Royal's legitimate rule over Auckland is absolutely unquestionable, and it is by no means something that can be shaken by some humble gossip and lowly gutter tracks! No matter what happened to the ancestors of the Dimahia family, it can't change the status of the Dimahia royal monarch, and it can't change the fact that you are the next queen of Auckland! ”

"I've never doubted that either! This is the empire entrusted to me by my grandfather, and it is the Qingyao Throne that so many soldiers who believe in me and are willing to fight to the death for me, how can I give up! If anyone questions this, there is no need for me to come out personally, you and the 200,000 soldiers of the forbidden army will definitely teach each other a good lesson. Isn't it? "Her Royal Highness the current World's No. 1 Princess, Her Majesty the future World's No. 1 Empress, is so authentic.

"The Praetorian Army was your grandfather's sword, and it will be your sword now, Your Highness. We will protect you and the Empire, and we will cut through all the gloom and darkness for you! ”

"But first of all, we have to know who the enemy really is. Isn't it? Karin slowed her voice: "Marshal, what do you know that you can tell me everything?" (To be continued.) )

PS: It's almost the New Year, why don't you count the tickets and have fun?
