Bedika breathed a sigh of relief.

Although this behavior was already acquiesced, she was still a little nervous when she was suddenly asked, so she did not dare to show any bias towards Prince Stattu's cousin, and asked:

"Master, what do you mean......?"

"What does your majesty mean is to make this a private meeting, but you don't want to make the other party feel that it is too easy to get—well......" Lin An frowned with some embarrassment.

Bedika was very shrewd and said, "I see, you see this ......"

She whispered a few words.

"Yes." Lin An bowed his head and glanced at her in surprise, "I didn't expect that a stepping stone can play so many tricks in the middle!" ”

"Screening guests for the master is just one of the essential skills of a noble butler."

Bedika bent over and winked at her.

***

Three days later.

Embassy of the Holy Empire in Pompey.

A middle-aged man with dark brown hair and a high nose was sitting in a teahouse in the corner of the reception room, and when he heard the sound of the door opening, he immediately put down the teacup he was holding and stood up.

"How's it going, Your Excellency Lippel?"

It was the diplomatic deputy who came in.

Dressed in civilian clothes, he took off his gentleman's hat and let out a long sigh, "My people have finally dealt with the housekeeper, and she has agreed, and will give us accurate information by the day after tomorrow at the latest, and if we are lucky, that Master Lin may be able to see us on that day." ”

Prince Statu showed a slightly relaxed expression, "It's hard work, Your Excellency Lippel, it's really not easy. ”

Lieutenant Lippel sat down.

He found that the teacup opposite was seven points full. But there was no white qi for a long time, and it was obvious that His Royal Highness the Prince who was waiting in the embassy was no less tormented than him, and when he thought about it, he was much more balanced.

"Yes, it's terrible to use a woman as a housekeeper, and I haven't seen a more difficult housekeeper than her."

The self-indulgence of the nobles of the Holy Empire could only stop his complaints, after all, the other party was a woman—and the one they wanted to see was also—and at the thought of the latter, Lieutenant Ripel looked distressed:

"Judging from the favored Bedika butler, our previous preparations may have been a little insufficient, and the countess was very reluctant to see us."

Ordinary housekeepers don't dare to toss them like this.

The attitude of the housekeeper is representative of her master. It's a refutable truth -- it means. The young Earl and Archmage was not very willing to meet them.

The reason why they were not completely rejected was only because of their identity and the demands they made, even if they were abrupt. It's also not as easy to decline as a normal prom invitation.

"She'll say yes. Before the news of our initiative to see us spreads. ”

"Your Highness. What do you mean......" Vice Envoy Lipel moved his eyebrows, thinking of something.

"No, no, though I would very much like to draw her into the arms of our Empire. But it is also clear that this Ann. Archmage Lin is the most difficult person to pursue," Prince Stattu shook his head, "and now that we are asking her for help, it is not appropriate to make a fuss. ”

"Not now, of course, but after we leave."

Deputy Envoy Li Peier said meaningfully:

"If she sees us, maybe she should let the people who stay here take advantage of this."

A brilliant foreign envoy, often also a semi-part-time intelligence spy, secretly colludes, bribes, and wreaks havoc like instinct.

Vice Envoy Leepel almost immediately thought of the current Demon Hunting List, which was currently in the limelight, and it was precisely because they realized the changes in the situation of the entire continent brought about by the appearance of the Demon Hunting List that they couldn't wait to return to the Holy Empire.

With no one in Pompey in charge, the remaining manpower would surely suffer, and Lieutenant Lippel was keen to leave a little gift to their "friendly neighbors" before leaving.

"As the representative of the Demon Hunting List, Emperor Merlin may not doubt her loyalty, but rumors will cast dust on her aura, and at the same time, it will also cast a shadow on the Demon Hunting List-"

The more Lippel thought about it, the more he thought it was a good idea:

"Yes, that's it! How did I not think of that? If the recipients of the Demon Hunting List can't be sure of their loyalty, who else is willing to give them a seal, this damn list will naturally be aborted! ”

"That's not a bad idea for the average person - but don't forget who you're talking about."

Prince Statu shook his head, His Excellency the Vice-Envoy was still too young.

"She's an archmage, she's just killed a Blood Flame High Priest and a Golden Beast Soul Martial Saint on the front line, she can travel between the two places in a short time, and most importantly, the mysterious magic can pull out what she wants in the minds of the most die-hard intelligence officers - I think, you can understand, the result of being targeted by such a strong man ......"

His gaze slipped meaningfully towards Vice Envoy Leepel's neck, and Lieutenant Libert's face changed and he felt a chill.

Being an envoy in the Merlin Empire, especially in the Merlin Empire during the war, was to work with his head in his hands, and death may not have deterred Liepel's deputy envoy, but he had to think about his parents and family. Gen-la was a woman, a great mage who had killed people and didn't care much about the rules of the world.

He could only smile bitterly.

"Well, it's not well thought out."

He snorted heavily.

"Merlin's young emperor has chosen a representative who looks easy to be despised but is actually very difficult to attack, and it feels like he's helpless to watch the damn list expand its influence!"

"Yes, this shouldn't be the trick of a young emperor who has just been on the throne for less than a year - compared to our other 'friendly neighbor', the Merlin Empire is lucky, and this is our misfortune."

"Well, I think we've had enough discussion about this Saxon Majesty, about the Demon Hunter List—if we don't have to worry about how to get through the door of that countess."

Prince Stattu was still very steady, and muttered:

"Don't think too much, Your Excellency Liepel, and show the utmost sincerity to impress that countess!"

"We're pressed for time, and we have to make a big deal out of the Demon Hunting List. Merlin and Pere sent the news back before they had the upper hand in public opinion, so that His Majesty learned about Pompey's situation. ”

"We can't continue to maintain our current reactive strategy - we have to make a U-turn in time!"

"-For the sake of the empire, it's worth it, isn't it?"

"--For the Empire!"

***

Two days later.

The maid opened the carved sandalwood door of the reception room, and the soft cashmere felt blanket cushioned her feet, absorbing the sound of footsteps on it.

But the two male guests who were standing on the front wall of the reception room admiring the oil painting and waiting for the hostess to arrive were still the first to notice her coming, and turned their heads almost at the same time, inadvertently revealing the truth that they had a lot of martial arts strength but little actual combat experience.

"Your Royal Highness. Your Excellency Lippelt. ”

"Master Lynn."

See Lin An. Prince Stattu's eyes lit up, revealing an undisguised look of appreciation, and he bowed slightly with Deputy Envoy Ripel:

"Allow me to praise you for your radiant complexion today. Not even the winter sun can take away your elegance! - Hope we made a surprise request earlier. Didn't bother you. ”

"Of course not." The corners of Lin An's mouth hooked. He said the scene with a smile.

Vice Envoy Li Peier lowered his eyes slightly.

No matter how ill-intentioned he was to Lin An before, one thing has to be admitted, Lin An's breathtaking appearance is an invincible weapon for any man.

Lieutenant Liepel was glad she had chosen magic. Instead of developing into diplomacy, otherwise she would have had no trouble obtaining a large amount of precious and secret information - of course, if she did not have enough self-protection ability, it is more likely that while she would receive information, she would be plundered by the local magnates and become a private confinement, and would not be able to step out of the border at all.

Bedika changed the refreshments, and Lin An and Prince Statu quickly ended the opening greetings and compliments to each other, and got to the point.

"Send your mission home?"

With his beautiful eyes widened, Lin An showed a look of surprise:

"No matter how you know I possess teleportation spells, but, Your Highness, I think you understand that this is very difficult for me."

Her eyes showed thought, as if she was planning to refuse, as if she was wondering what they meant.

"I understand."

Prince Statu said:

"Master Lin, don't worry, we do have an urgent need to return to China, a few days ago we have asked for resignation from the Saxon Majesty, but His Majesty is graciously retained, we have to deal with it for a few more days, according to the past, the Saxon Majesty's will will most likely be issued in the near future, and your country may also send one or two officials to accompany us home."

After explaining, he glanced at Lieutenant Leepel: there was no immediate refusal, which was a good sign.

"Then why did you suddenly return to China in a hurry?" Lin An was suspicious.

"This ......"

Prince Statu looked hesitant, as if he didn't want to say.

Deputy Envoy Lippel, who had always been in a marginal role, couldn't hold back, and suddenly interjected: "It's for the demon hunting list." ”

Lin An's pupils shrank, his gaze shifted, and he stared at Li Peier.

Only then did Li Peier understand Prince Statu's caution, although it was only a momentary leak of coercion, it still made him feel a heavy burden as a gold-level martial artist, his back was almost broken, his face was pale, and he almost lost his temper on the spot.

Fortunately, Lin An did not embarrass him, and quickly withdrew the coercion, Li Peier's face recovered slightly, turned from blue to white, gasped for breath, and could not speak for a while.

Lin An turned his gaze back to Prince Statu and said coldly, "What do you mean by the words of Your Excellency the Deputy Envoy?" ”

"Don't get me wrong, Master Lin."

Prince Stattu didn't expect Lin An to attack Li Peier in person, which disrupted their script, but fortunately he reacted quickly, suppressed the anger in his heart, and explained:

"Your Excellency Lippel does not mean any blasphemy against the Demon Hunter List, against your achievements with the masters—"

"If he had, he wouldn't be sitting here completely." Lin An said coldly, his brows deepened, and he was already impatient, "I don't have much time, His Royal Highness the Prince should say it directly." ”

Rao had already expected that he would be closed, but Prince Stattu was still so arrogant that he was so arrogant that he couldn't help but say angrily:

"The emergence and implementation of the Demon Hunting List is a matter of great importance, and we need to report this matter back to the Imperial Capital in a timely manner and pay enough attention to it - this cannot be done by the exchange of letters alone, and we must send enough people back."

"But our imperial capital is thousands of miles away from Pompey, and even the fastest stagecoach will take no less than three months without accidents - you have killed the enemy on the front line, and you should know how precious this time was in the early days of the war, and for every day of military aircraft delayed, thousands of innocent civilians died!"

"Therefore, we rushed to the door and asked for your help, hoping that the demon hunting list can be implemented as much as possible, so that our country can join the Triple Alliance as much as possible, and complete the last piece of territory of the Anti-Demon Alliance."

Prince Statu said earnestly, stood up with Lieutenant Liepel, and bowed deeply.

Lin An was slightly moved.

She also stood up and let go of the salute, but her pride was put away, and her expression looked very embarrassed.

After a while, she said, "If you can get the will of Your Majesty, I can help you." ”

"If we can get your country's permission, why bother asking you privately! The longer it drags on, the better it will be for Merlin, and it's not Merlin who dies anyway! Lippelt snorted.

After he took a breath, he quickly adjusted his mentality and played the role of singing white face.

Hearing this, Lin An looked at Prince Stattu.

The prince smiled bitterly and said vaguely: "Your Majesty's kindness is really hard to refuse." ”

"That's not what His Majesty said to us, he has always had a positive attitude towards the Demon Hunting List and the Anti-Demon Alliance," Lin An pursed his lips, still not believing it, and got up, "I'll immediately go into the palace and ask him." ”

"No, Master Lin!"

Prince Statu hurriedly stopped.

"Your Majesty has recently ascended the throne, young and promising, and it is the time to forge ahead, I think it is probably not his will to sit back and watch the demon clan wreak havoc - but, as a monarch, it is inevitable that sometimes he will make decisions against his will due to various resistances."

He said this without purpose.

From the point of view of pure Merlin nobility, it is more beneficial for them to delay time after gaining the upper hand.

In addition, after the demon hunting list and the canonization, there were also a lot of gossips in the upper echelons of the imperial capital - some were released by secret spies of other countries, and some were indeed people who were guilty of red eye disease.

Although these can't shake the status of Lin An and the others, Prince Stattu believes that no matter how Lin An doesn't see outsiders, there must be some rumors in his ears.

This is a big bargaining chip for Prince Statu.

As long as Lin An feels that the resistance does not come from the emperor, but from some people under the emperor, with Lin An's current status and strength, it is very likely that he will ignore the attitude of these people, and may even agree to help because of some contradictions.

Really.

Lin An decided quickly this time, only pondered for a moment, and said, "Okay." Three days after you leave the Imperial Capital, I'll be waiting for you in Salt Lake City—just once. ”

Prince Statu and the two were overjoyed, and bowed deeply again, "Thank you for taking the risk!" ”

They really have some respect for Lin An, and it is a fact that Lin An has compassion for the civilians of their country, regardless of the force field.

"This is our little care, not enough to repay your integrity and kindness, just in case, when we return to Dunrk, we will prepare another generous gift."

Prince Statu presented a beautifully wrapped wooden box.

Lin An didn't refuse, accepted it with his own hands, and said with a smile:

"Forget the generous gifts, I won't return to the city with you, I can only send you to the vicinity of the imperial capital circle, and in the next two or three days, you'd better be prepared, I can teleport up to five people."

"You've thought it through, I'll be ready to escort you."

The prince was disappointed that Lin An's water did not leak, and his surface was still full of gratitude, and he agreed again and again.
