Chapter 127: Baptism II
*******
"Teacher, you were really cool just now!"
On the return airship, Su Su danced happily in Lin Xu's room.
Because on this trip, Lin Xu was the highest-ranking person on this airship, so he also occupied the largest suite with an attached living room in the airship.
The design of the living room is very exquisite, the area is limited, but the sense of space is far more spacious than this area, the druid shaman Esmeralda, Liana, Longbottom, Sembal and Floya brought by Lin Xu are sitting in the living room, except for Floya is a little restrained, the others are resting casually.
Lin Xu was lying on the bed in the airship's bedroom, flipping through the information about his next rune 'Blood Rose Garland', and the bedroom and the living room were separated by a magic curtain, and the curtain was rolled up at this time, and Lin Xu could also chat with Liana who was closest to the bedroom outside at any time.
Of course, more often, Lin Xu followed Su Su's lively state of mind at the moment, and after a few words, he talked about the information he was interested in, and Lin Xu would also ask Liana, who was also a nobleman in the imperial capital.
Su Su is a member of the highest ruling class in this country, he is young this year, but the amount of political information he has is far from being comparable to that of Lin Xu, a country lord, and the airship flight to Hoglard is not short, and Lin Xu does not know a lot about the alliance during this part of the trip.
Especially the characters behind Susu.
In addition to Su Su's adoptive father, Archduke Stennis, who is the leader of the Alliance's most powerful legion, the 'Stanis Warband', Lin Xu also learned that Su Su also has a godfather who has rarely met, he is one of the three major marshals of the empire in the past hundred years, and the current alliance power institution, the hall master of the 'Arbitration Palace', and the 'Sauron' known as the 'Twilight Decision'.
The three marshals of the empire are the same era as the current Emperor of the Alliance, and in the past years, these three marshals have led their troops to repel the invasions of the Papal forces in the north and the barbarians in the south. One of the most famous is the Generalissimo Hastings, who now sits behind the Imperial Army, and is known as the 'Shadow Curtain God'. As for the remaining marshal, he is now the speaker of the Violet Council, and because His Majesty the Emperor always interferes in the parliament, he is laughed at as having less power in the parliament than Bebraz, who is the director of a certain knight academy.
Lin Xu also learned that the highest ruling administrative bodies of the empire were mainly the Imperial Court and Cardinals' Office, the Prime Minister's Cabinet, the Violet Parliament, the Valhalla, and the Arbitration Palace.
There are 'six officials' in the inner court of the Imperial Palace, namely the Judge of the Cardinal's Office, the Chief of Staff, the Master Craftsman, the Armament Officer of the Cardinal's Office, the Chief of the Royal Guard, and the Interior Minister.
In addition to the Prime Minister, the other two Vice-Ministers are the Foreign Ministers who are responsible for foreign affairs and the execution of specific important government affairs, and the Interior Ministers are the Cabinet Ministers who contact the Imperial Court and supervise the decisions of the Cabinet, while the 'Six Ministers' are the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Minister of Justice, the Minister of Industry, the Minister of Taxation, the Minister of Religion, and the Minister of Inspection.
These are just the information that Lin Xu learned about the country's ruling structure, as for the others, they are some important laces in the imperial capital, such as the Grand Duke of Stennis is actually the first seat of the Imperial Capital Valhalla, but it is said that because the Grand Duke of Stennis has an old relationship with His Majesty the current emperor, he does not want to meet the emperor frequently after taking office, so he has been in his own Grand Duke for a long time, and has not been to the Great Valhalla at all; For example, the prime minister is the confidant of the regent of Tanggulaki, the only son of His Majesty the Emperor, and the chief adjudicator of the inner court is actually the only son of the lord of the Arbitration Palace, but the father and son have had a gap and discord, and the Purple Queen arranged the son of Marshal Sauron in the position of the adjudicator, which is actually to check and balance the Arbitration Palace......
……
After arriving in Hoglard, due to the postponement of the ceremonies of the new blood in each house, the accommodation of the apprentices was directly arranged. Without saying hello to anyone, Susu was automatically assigned to a separate room on the fifteenth floor of the Eastern Tower of the main castle of Hoglard.
Thinking of the room that Lin Xu had obtained at the beginning of the high-level apprenticeship, and seeing the differential treatment now, Lin Xu also sighed. After Susu moved in, many people who had lived on the fifteenth floor of the Oriental Tower for a long time and had never seen much of Lin Xu (mainly because Lin Xu's time in Hoglard had been spent at Hoglard was quite short) walked out of the room and came to visit.
But His Highness Helen Su Violet was obviously not very interested in those polite courtesies, and it was not long before he hung a Do Not Disturb sign at the door to show his firm will.
It was also in this process that Lin Xu discovered that Eberfica, who had a two-sided relationship with him, also had a room on the fifteenth floor of the Oriental Tower, but Eberfica graduated, although Hoglard specially reserved a room for His Highness, but Eberfica did not come back to live often, preferring to live in the manor in the Epulus Basin, which he owned.
The violet twin sisters of the imperial capital appeared at the top of the tower of Hezellu's dormitory at the same time, and it didn't take long for the gossip to spread throughout Hoglald's circles. Inexplicably, within a few days of the crowds on the fifteenth floor of the Oriental Tower, there were many more druids who came to visit. But soon, the powerful nobles on the fifteenth floor, taking advantage of the castle's war preparations, asked the administrators of Hoglard to prohibit non-Hezhel deer students from entering and leaving the fifteenth floor, and in the dormitory area of the fifteenth floor, even the other students of Hezhelu could not enter unless the owner of the room brought in.
Lin Xu looked at the changes in these details on the fifteenth floor, and seemed to feel that the atmosphere in which the entire Hoglard was tense because of the war preparations was a little relaxed.
However, when Lin Xu turned around and saw Su Su, who didn't know how many times he had broken into Lin Xu's room, sniffing around Lin Xu's room, Lin Xu shook his head helplessly, and had a new answer in his heart to the changes in the atmosphere he had perceived during this time.
"Susu...... The next time you come to the teacher, don't you just want the smell of the teacher......
Lin Xu's face was black, and he said this sentence helplessly.
"No...... The smell of the teacher is useful for Su Su's illness, and staying by the teacher's side, Su Su feels as if she will not get old...... Ahh......h
Su Su jumped and hung on Lin Xu's body again, then climbed to Lin Xu's neck and gently pasted Lin Xu's neck.
"Teacher, don't be angry, Su Su knows that she is not good like this, but Su Su really wants to be loved by the teacher, Su Su really wants to live...... Su Su doesn't have anything here, the teacher can take it if he wants, Su Su has a lot of spider crystals, and a lot of spell scrolls...... Teacher, take whatever you want......"
The girl who was around Lin Xu's neck suddenly had a lot of purple spars in her hands, and then sprinkled them all over the ground, and the girl gently coquettishly beside Lin Xu, talking about something, hoping to get Lin Xu's forgiveness and trust.
"If I didn't believe you, I wouldn't have let you stay in my room for so long."
Lin Xu touched the girl's back and sensed the blood source in the girl's body, the blood in the body was still like that, and he couldn't find any reasonable treatment, but Lin Xu's intuition still told him that Chu Yong and the blood clan transfer might be useful to the girl.
However, Lin Xu didn't want to expose his secret so simply.
At this time, a month has passed since the last trial, Lin Xu went to Gray Town to lead another trial, and the rest of the time was spent studying the power of the blood source, and by the way, he also studied his eighth rune 'Blood Rose Wreath'.
The meager element of bloody power in the air is so clear under Lin Xu's bloodline and profession, so Lin Xu's condensation of the eighth rune is also unusually smooth, and now in Lin Xu's spiritual space, the eighth rune has already taken shape, just waiting for the final refinement, and then integrated into Lin Xu's totem system.
Lin Xu finally sent Su Su away, and sent Ge Winnie to summon Floya, who lived in the ordinary bedroom on the ninth floor of the tower.
In Lin Xu's room, Lin Xu put on the dark gold half-mask again, looking at the red-haired and red-eyed girl in front of him.
"I ...... I see......" the girl said with some trepidation. In the past month, she has also learned a lot of information about Lin Xu, and she has almost completely confirmed that this masked man who is now much taller and has great strength than back then is Lin Xu*Jinglin, who has always been regarded as a cousin and a fart.
"You don't need to know......" Lin Xu said coldly. We met as teachers and students, and later we were also students and teachers, and I helped you once, but I just thought that you in that state, returning to the death prairie is a dead end. I don't want to dwell with you about who I am, but I came to you today because I have something. “
"At the beginning, your talent was not enough, so I let you directly participate in the Druid Trial, but somehow, I told you to be very careful, but you were still noticed by the enemy, and I simply seriously injured the druid shaman at the beginning, and delayed me for some time."
Lin Xu walked to a bookcase in the living room, took down a black letter that had been opened, and pulled out one of the letters. He opened the letter, looked at it, and then threw it into the fireplace, where the flames burned to ashes.
"Originally, it was just a conflict between me and the Great Shaman, but now I know that the Great Shaman has lost his mind and is dead. However, the feud is not over. The figures standing behind the great shaman have come to me again, and they may be holding on to your questions, not so much that they will do anything to me, but they may cause me some minor trouble. I'm most afraid that my plan will be unexpected. “
"So, I can only dare you to cooperate with me in an experiment now."
"Don't be afraid, Floya. The results of this experiment, no matter what, will be good for your strength growth, and the side effects are negligible compared to other equivalent spells. “
There was a faint blood in Lin Xudi's eyes, and he looked deeply at Floya's ruby eyes, his eyes narrowed slightly, and thoughts flashed in his eyes.
