Chapter 694: Summoned
The case of the destruction of the Krona family has been completely closed, and at this point, Xia Feng has completed an ultimate evolution.
He was both an infected and a nobleman, the first of its kind in Victoria.
Because there was no precedent, the Yuan Assembly could only bite the bullet and formulate relevant regulations specifically for him.
[Noble infected persons shall reasonably enjoy all aristocratic privileges, and no one shall be restrained by the restriction order of the infected person except by royal order.] 】
That is to say, even if you don't wear a scarf after the summer breeze, you can swagger in and out of any place in any city, including restaurants, shopping malls, royal colleges, various administrative departments, and military districts.
If someone questioned his identity, he could directly answer, "Lao Tzu is infected, is there a problem?" ”
Of course, there was a reason why Verin was so indulgent to him.
....
Before returning to the south, Verin personally summoned Summer Wind in the palace.
Victoria's Royal Palace, located in the north of the city of Lentinium, is worthy of the name of the palace in size and luxury, and the Royal Knights are stationed all year round, so it can be said that there are no dead ends.
Under the high city walls, knights with golden swords and golden armor can be seen everywhere, and judging by their demeanor and eyes, everyone is a real master.
Xia Feng secretly felt that if foreign spies wanted to come to the palace to assassinate members of the royal family, it was estimated that they could only use "nuclear bombs".
...
Escorted by 8 knights of the golden sword, Xia Feng met Verin in a golden palace.
In fact, it is not accurate to say that the hall is not large, and it is a small meeting room.
Verin did not dress as holy, as she did in public, and she leaned lightly in the middle of the chair, wearing only a purple skirt and a snow-white coat on her upper body.
Beside Verin, Legion Commander Tereg stood with his sword in hand, his eyes never taken off Xia Feng from the moment he entered the door.
As the supreme leader of the Royal Knights, it is understandable that Terreg is so cautious, after all, he took Xia Feng's sword for his brother in the ring, and he also felt the power of that sword.
This is not a formal occasion, after Xia Feng entered the door, he bowed slightly to Verin.
"Hello Princess."
Verin looked at the Golden Knife guards who surrounded Xia Feng like prisoners.
"Let's all get out."
"Yes."
After the guards retreated, only Verin, Xia Feng, and Terreg were left in the room.
....
Verin first praised Xia Feng for solving the Krone family case, saying that he was indeed very capable.
"The nobles are the most loyal subordinates of my royal family, and they are also the supporters of the national pattern, this case has a very bad impact, you can solve it for me in such a short time, Xia Feng, I really didn't misunderstand you."
Xia Feng just bowed his head slightly.
"It's my job."
"Well, but I'm still a person with clear rewards and punishments, do you have any rewards you want?"
Xia Feng secretly said in his heart, and sent sugar?
There is no reason to refuse the benefits of door-to-door delivery, don't want it in vain.
Xia Feng thought about it and replied calmly.
"Since the princess wants to be rewarded, Xia Feng is welcome, to tell you the truth, I want money."
"Huh."
Verin shifted positions in her chair, leaning her chin half-back with one hand.
"Do you want money, don't hide your desires, I like your honesty."
"Her Royal Highness the princess smiled."
"It's okay, I heard that you run a chamber of commerce in Notting City, so I'll contact Chief Yarlin later and allow you to waive the freight tax for one month."
It's not as exaggerated as Vina's 3 months, but it's a windfall.
Xia Feng hurriedly thanked him.
"Your Royal Highness Princess Xie."
....
Wei Lin's expression did not change, she looked at Xia Feng with deep eyes, and her words changed.
"Xia Feng, what do you think of the relationship between ordinary people and infected people?"
Xia Feng knew that this question was definitely not as simple as small talk.
He replied calmly.
"Infected people are just ordinary people who are sick, whether they are ordinary people or infected people, peaceful coexistence is the relationship that everyone hopes for the most and has been strong, of course, I am also an infected person, this is just my personal opinion."
Verin's voice continued.
"Let me put it another way, how do you see the relationship between the infected and this country?"
Xia Feng didn't hesitate and immediately replied.
"In order to survive, infected people can do hard work that ordinary people are not qualified for and unwilling to do, and of course, the state also provides reasonable wages and living areas, which I think is a mutually beneficial relationship."
"Is it a mutually beneficial relationship?"
Princess Verin leaned languidly in her chair, her voice so calm as if she were recounting an insignificant trivial.
"But in most countries in the world, even if the infected people are willing to work, the state will not allow them to set foot in it, let alone wages and living conditions."
Verin calmly looked into Xia Feng's eyes.
"In that case, do you still think it's a mutually beneficial relationship?"
Xia Feng was silent for a moment and replied in a deep voice.
"Compared with other countries, China's policy towards infected people is indeed tolerant and generous."
"So, do you still think it's a mutually beneficial relationship?"
Xia Feng was as usual on the surface, but his eyes were already a little cold, and he knew what Verin wanted to express.
"Well, maybe my opinion is inaccurate, it's not a mutually beneficial relationship, it's a relationship of gifts and returns."
"Yes."
Verin nodded in satisfaction.
"I think it's very accurate to say that gifts and returns, so as the party who chooses to return because of the gift, should we be grateful to the giver?"
"Well..... Of course. ”
Tyregu, who was standing next to him, didn't say a word, and seeing that the atmosphere was a little solemn, Princess Verin changed her sitting posture and her tone became soothing.
"Heh, don't be nervous, I'm not infected, and I don't understand infected, I just want to hear your thoughts."
Xia Feng took a deep breath.
"My thoughts are the same as those of Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"Okay."
Putting on a snow-white coat, Verin slowly stood up from her chair and whispered.
"I don't mean anything else, the real gift doesn't need to be reciprocated, and I don't need to be thanked, I just hope that as the infected who have been tolerated by my Victorian Empire, there will be no hostility that shouldn't exist."
Xia Feng lowered his head quietly.
"I understand."
"Yes."
Verin turned, her back to the summer breeze.
"Okay, let's talk about this today, I will arrange your reward, and in the future, the regular meeting of the Yuan Council, if you are notified, I hope you will try to come and participate, after all, you are an infected nobleman."
"Okay, I got it."
"Well, I'm tired, you can go back."
...
As soon as Verin stepped forward, Xia Feng's voice came from behind again.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, I would like to take the liberty of asking His Majesty how his health has been recently, and whether his illness has improved."
Verin didn't turn around, just calmly replied.
"My father's illness can't be cured in a day or two, but you don't have to worry, as his daughter, I will manage this country with all my heart."
