Chapter 859: It's All a Conspiracy
As Mr. Filke said, when the group arrived at Embassy Street, they found that the lockdown was much looser. Although it still had to be checked, it was not so strict, the soldiers were not as vicious as they imagined, their attitudes were not so blunt, and they did not stare at every onlooker passing by with the eyes of a large predator scanning their prey.
Her Royal Highness the World's No. 1 Princess, who was busy holding all-night meetings to stabilize the situation just after the war, seemed to finally remember this neighborhood that had been completely turned into a city cage by her uncle. Although the lockdown continues, it should be sooner or later that martial law is lifted.
"Phew, anyway, the Auckland Civil War is finally over, and everyone can finally breathe a sigh of relief. You know, in those days of chaos, everyone counted the seconds every day and silently watched the soldiers outside change batch after batch, but they had nothing to do, and they were worried that the rioters would suddenly rush in and do evil. There are no ambassadors, no military attachés and no military attachés in the embassies, not even a single magician, and it is difficult to get domestic news, and there is no backbone at all. For us ordinary petty officials, it doesn't matter who becomes the Oakland Supreme, as long as things are normalized early. Of course, this is the same as we don't have much to do with the general election at the end of the year...... Whoever is at the helm of the Federation, the only thing we expect is a little more bonus, and the boss is a good guy to get along with. Such a life is happy enough. ”
"Huh...... There's no point in you saying that to me, is it? Lu Xi smiled: "Whether it is in the royal court in Auckland or the central government of the Federation, a lazy person like me is destined to be just a soy sauce player." You want to fight for a happy life, but you really can't count on me. ”
"Oops. Master, you are powerful though. But he is still a young man with a conscience. With enthusiasm and a pure heart, if there were more people like you in the center of the court, we ordinary people would be much easier...... However, this is just the complaint of a veteran bureaucrat. My wife died too young, and my children were already grown up and were not around. Ever since I met Miss Cayletheon, I had almost forgotten that I was a little old man of fifty. Mr. Firk smiled quietly. Only then did he salute Lu Xi and his friends with a reserved and not rude gesture to say goodbye: "Then, I wish you all the best, master!" ”
"I wish you the goddess back soon, Mr. Felke."
In this way, the group was separated at the entrance of the embassy, which can be said to be a joy for the guests and hosts. Lu Xi got a lot of useful information and main plot clues, and fully enjoyed the joy of taste buds with his friends; And Mr. Firk himself, as a senior grassroots bureaucrat, since he can take his relationship with the future magnates to a higher level, what is there to be unhappy about?
"Lu Lu. This Mr. Filke is actually quite a simple man. The elf girl stared at the back of this senior bureaucrat who had been at the grassroots level for a lifetime, and suddenly said to Lu Xi coldly.
"I know! It's not a thing that this guy can get along with this group of wolf-like Oakland Janissary soldiers in a matter of hours. What is the ability? Of course he does. Although in the display of the system, this is the combat ability of a person with little strength, at most he is a character of an NPC who is a little healthier. But. The so-called insight into the world and human feelings are also learning, and this kind of "little person" energy who is exquisite but maintains his own neither humble nor arrogant aura. How can the system of crickets be estimated with combat effectiveness data?
(System: Dudu Dudu ~ ~ Do not open the forest, round ...... Belch. The system developed by the boss himself can do anything! If the host is not satisfied with the concept of data expression, it can upgrade the new function of Krypton Gold Dog Eye to unlock the five-dimensional data of the character, including command, charm, wisdom, politics, and force. Sheng Hui only needs 9999999 experience points, really only 9999999! You can't buy sadness, and you can't buy fooling...... )
Is this the rhythm that Darkglory wants to break through the sky? So after that, the rhythm of this book will change from an orthodox RPG to a farming battle text? The RPG of the data stream is already very shameless, why do you still use this trick in the farming competition, can you still have face?
In fact, with Mr. Felke's ability, being an ambassador is actually more than enough, but the Federation, a country that has been solidified by the Arcantic aristocracy, really can't provide him with a stable upward space...... How did this country become like this, Lu Xi couldn't help but fall into deep contemplation. Well, there really is no other explanation than the institutional problem.
Anyway, if the destruction of the country is really over, should I really be a leader for Karin? Maybe he can really mix a "sky king" and something like that who is above 10,000 people under one person. Something like a traitor, people deserve it, but I can't take it?
"If only Miss Kelle Sheehan really wanted to be with Mr. Felke. Well, although the time of happiness together is destined to be only a few decades, as long as you have it! We elves are such a race, as long as we have them, our feelings and hearts will be full. ”
It's really a convenient spiritual structure, a low-level black iron bloodline like a human being, even if there is no one around for a year and a half, you will feel that your mood is lonely. No wonder Sister Tido, who has been a widow for a thousand years, is just as heartless as a lawless underworld sister - the High Priest, the Elven King of Norda, and the Cardinal of the Great Sanctuary. Although some people say that before my arrival, this sister has always taken the majestic and indifferent cold route, but I will not believe it.
"He is destined to climb to a high position in the federal system, but if there is a "101 Proposal", although it is a little troublesome, it will be a delicacy in life." Lu Xi nodded very approvingly, and then realized that it seemed that this building was crooked and was about to break through the sky, and hurriedly said: "However, other people's gossip has nothing to do with us now, so let's return to reality as soon as possible." Our next step should be to go to Neosfia......"
"Isn't the young master ready to return to China?" Grant asked with some hesitation, "After all, you are also a high-ranking officer of the Federation now." Remember Halda? General Dandy Lane has said that the Union military is preparing you for prestigious positions in the Guards and the Command Department. ”
"yes. Following the normal process, I should have added another star to myself when I was 25 years old...... Well. I mean a star for both the rank and rank of the mage. Before the age of 30, he will become a major figure in the military and politics, and then he may be able to compete for the position of supreme consul at the age of 40. At worst, you can mix with a supreme military minister, like Master Russell. Lu Xi looked at villager A who kept nodding his head, and couldn't help but reach out and pat him on the head: "But it's more likely that I will die of a violent illness before the age of 40, no matter which faction I choose to join in the end." Grant, Grant, your boss is not the kind of master who will die for a great ideal...... You remember, I'm a magician first, and a soldier who puts ducks on the shelves second. In a country like the Federation, which is completely ruled by the Arcane nobility, there are only two things that matter most if you want to live well. ”
If you want to wait for the other party to cooperate and say, "Those two things?" "It's too deliberate. And there is a suspicion of talking about third-rate cross talk, Lu Xi simply said: "There is only strength and power." If the strength really reaches the point of Mr. Orucello, it is the living god of the entire country, and he can live comfortably by pretending to be forced. All the gatekeepers and political forces must also treat you as a god, and dare not let you feel the slightest grievance. As for the forces, everything I did before was also for this, and I wanted to go to Neosfia for this purpose. ”
"I don't know, can I intervene in your forces." The voice of the wind suddenly sounded coldly in Lu Xi's mind.
"Can you not suddenly interject with a psychic link? I'm scared of this little liver, that's called a puff puff. Lu Xi let out a long breath: "Speaking of which, it's really a pity that you ran outside the city, and you missed it directly." ”
"That sounds like a pity." Having said that, I didn't feel a pity at all when I heard her voice. On the contrary, the mood in the words of the wind always seems to be very happy.
"Speaking of which, what are you going to do when you're out of town? There are only a few million refugees there. Shouldn't there be anything worth your attention, right? ”
"Whether there is value or not can only be seen from the point of view of the person concerned, but I believe it. Even you would agree with me doing this. Tempest laughed, "I'm going to be out of town for a while." You can go back to your Highness the princess first. Well, during the time you spent in the imperial capital, you really want to live in Yongchen Palace, right? ”
"Well, there seems to be nowhere else to go but there. The guest rooms of the Great Holy Church are all prepared for the traveling ascetics, and the bed board is hard enough to practice the Iron Spine Gong...... There are a few luxury hotels in the northern city, but they haven't reopened yet. Well, when you think about it, it seems that there is only a palace to live in. There are enough rooms, and the new owner probably won't mind. ”
"Well, anyway, you, going back to Yongchen Palace now is like going back to your own home." Storm said, "And everyone thinks it's so natural, isn't it a strange thing?" ”
Lu Xi wanted to reason with the wind about this, but for a moment he felt completely speechless. He wanted to say a few more words, but the wind was already "offline", and no matter how much he shouted there, there was no response.
This, are you jealous again? Anyway, such a strong sister has been jealous lately, won't it seem particularly damaging to the character?
Sure enough, just like Lu Xi and the others considered. When the group returned to Yongchen Palace, the forbidden knights who had taken over the palace gate guards completely let everyone in with an attitude of welcoming the lord, and even completely ignored the weapons hanging on everyone's waists and backs. For Lu Xi himself, he is even more respectful, and his politeness and respect are no less than Karin.
A lady who looked to be about fifty years old, dressed in a simple version of the palace skirt that was simple and low-key, and did not affect her movements in any way, was waiting in the square behind the palace gate, and when she saw Lu Xi and his party passing through the gate, she immediately greeted her with a smile. Obviously, she's been waiting for everyone here for a long time.
This lady, who has a very temperamental smile and is also very kind, introduced herself as the Countess Perlan, the female official of the Yongchen Palace, and told everyone that the guest room has been prepared in the Seth Annex next to the Hanging Garden, and it is ready to move in at any time, and invited a few little maids to show everyone the way. She herself personally led the way for Lu Xi. led him to the direction of the Moon God Hall, the reason was naturally that Her Royal Highness the First Princess of the World summoned her lover to talk back and have breakfast or something......
"Her Highness Caterina has just spent the night meeting with the Generals and the Privy Councillors. Must be very tired! At this time, you can have a breakfast with the master. It would be the best rest. The Countess said to Lu Xi so naturally. Although she smiled very kindly and kindly, she was full of inexplicable oppression, and Lu Xi really couldn't say the sentence "I've already had breakfast".
So, in the sight of his friends sympathizing (villager A) and longing (villager B, this minotaur is probably not full) and inexplicable (Lim) and gloating (Nicole), Lu Xi had no choice but to go with the countess.
The battle in the Yongchen Palace has naturally ended, and now it has entered the rhythm of cleaning the battlefield. The soldiers of the Forbidden Army were in charge of patrolling and looking for fish that had slipped through the net, and by the way, they had to remove the corpses, while the original servants of the Yongchen Palace had to wash the bloodstains. Clear out the rubbish and debris and restore the heart of the empire to its original state as much as possible.
Most of these ordinary servants had never seen blood, and probably never thought that one day the battle would take place so close to them, obviously a little frightened, and the sight of a corpse in the corner could cause a small uproar. Of course, if it weren't for the fact that this group of poor people had been tortured all night by the sound of shouts and swords, and they were somewhat accustomed to it, the reaction at this time would have been even more intense.
In short, everyone's work efficiency at this time is naturally not high. However, the Countess Perrin, who claimed to be a female official, must have seen the world. Along the way, whether you pass by the burning ruins, or the soldiers who are carrying corpses or seriously wounded, or the smell of blood in your nose along the way. She was completely unmoved, and still maintained an elegance and bearing that belonged to the court of the prosperous world.
"Actually, I've been to Diana Hall once. You don't have to bother to lead the way. Lu Xi said to the countess.
The Countess was slightly stunned, and then showed a relieved smile: "If you are a traditional Auckland nobleman. If I say that, I'll think you have an opinion about me. But actually. Master, you must understand that at this juncture when His Majesty Icaon has passed away, Her Royal Highness Caterina has taken control of Auckland, and must be the future Empress, so there must be a code of etiquette. You are her most important guest, and naturally Auckland's most honored guest, and in theory there should be a dedicated precursor. I'm just here part-time to show you around, which is already a very rude gesture. ”
"You are so polite, it really makes me embarrassed...... Lu Xi looked at the countess with a look of course helplessly, and said: "And you haven't settled down yet, shouldn't you keep everything simple?" ”
"What to do with it is for a big figure like Her Highness Caterina or Prime Minister Tyrion, and I am just a person whose family has been serving the Eisin Palace and the Empire's ceremonial model for generations." "On the contrary, in this unstable world, orthodox court etiquette must not be curtailed in the slightest, because these are the things that most represent the culture and majesty of the empire," said the countess.
The best representation of the majesty of the empire is still the 200,000 Oakland Forbidden Army, and they are now healthy and have no damage to their combat strength...... It's all the blessing of Master Toben.
Although Lu Xi thought so in his heart, if he spit out this incomprehensible groove to this countess, who was very respectable at first glance, it would really seem too ungraceful. So, he could only laugh a little, and seemed to reluctantly accept the other party's statement.
"You're just a guest now, so these etiquette rules can only be kept simple, I hope you don't mind." The countess looked at Lu Xi with some embarrassment, as if she had done something very sorry for the other party: "But don't worry, after you and Her Royal Highness Caterina stand side by side and become the masters of the empire, you will need a very complete guard of honor when you go there, and there will be a strict model of clothing, food, shelter and transportation." That's when you'll be able to show your presence! Of course, there are still some etiquette courses that must be completed before that......"
I'll you...... If that were the case, I would definitely either kill myself, or kill the teacher in the etiquette class and then kill myself. If all this is not a conspiracy of the enemy, it must be the conspiracy of Her Royal Highness the First Princess of the World! (To be continued.) )
