Chapter 1193: Titi Awakens
Walking out of the portal, Taling Cassandra appeared on the wall of the tower:
"Chief Elder, the courtiers sent by His Majesty the Emperor are waiting on the first floor."
"It seems that His Majesty can't wait to meet with you," Lin An smiled and said to Sherlock and the four envoys behind him, "So, you can enter the palace with me?" ”
Even if Sherlock wanted to object, he couldn't say it now.
Fortunately, he knew in advance that this envoy would be directly transmitted to the Merlin Imperial Capital, and several envoys had already changed into formal dresses, and replied gently: "It's an honor, I can't wait to meet His Majesty the Saxons." ”
Lin An entered the palace in a carriage with him, and not many people saw him in the carriage along the way, but after entering the palace, Count Sherlock's outstanding appearance and unfamiliar face still attracted the attention of some people.
However, the other party was dressed in a typical formal dress in the style of the Holy Empire, and there were four envoys behind him, and their expressions and the specifications of the entourage showed that the other party had an official identity, and no one would think much about it.
Seeing the Saxons in the audience hall, the Saxons and their sons walked down the steps and welcomed the envoys of the Holy Empire under the escort of important ministers.
He was also a little surprised by Count Sherlock's outstanding appearance, his eyes swept over several people, and he didn't find anything in Lin An, so he focused on Count Sherlock.
Count Sherlock was vaguely aware of some clues, and thought to himself that the marriage between Emperor Merlin and the Purple Rose Archduchess did not seem to be a simple political marriage, and it seemed that he would have to keep a certain distance from the Purple Rose Archduchess in the future.
He is responsible for this time, and a certain Cheng dù is also equivalent to a pledged proton. The identity is already sensitive, and he did have the intention of currying favor with Lin An in his heart, even if it was just a little friendship, it would make him gain a lot of foothold in Pompey.
But after realizing the Saxon's possible attitude towards Lin An, he immediately changed his original plan.
In state affairs, the Saxons are the ones who decide what to do, and Shylock will not lose the big because of the small.
He wondered in his heart.
Whether a woman has feelings for the opposite sex, no matter how much she hides it, she can observe one or two from her demeanor.
Between not meeting the Saxons, Lin An's attitude made Sherlock very sure. The engagement between the two is definitely a marriage for political considerations.
Until I met the Saxons. After faintly intuition discovered that the Saxons had a certain possessiveness for Lin An that was deeply hidden, Sherlock realized that Emperor Merlin's attitude towards Lin An was not so simple.
"Of course, in the fiancé's shoes. Anyone who has a fiancée like the Archduchess of the Purple Rose. Possessiveness is a matter of course - but the Grand Duchess of the Purple Rose does not seem to have the same attitude. The difference in attitudes between the two towards this marriage may be an opportunity? ”
Sherlock was secretly excited.
Such important information was discovered at the beginning, if it can be used well. What he can get is far more than his original goal, not only to gain a foothold, but even to shorten the distance between him and Emperor Merlin, and thus give him more room to exert himself in Pompeii.
It's just that......
Quiet. Grand Duke Lin is not the weak party in this marriage, she has a deep background, and she can influence the attitude of the legendary powerhouse, which is also enough to make him jealous, if he disobeys her will, or even if he detects that he is secretly calculating, even if she succeeds, she will make him and the Holy Empire pay a huge price.
Therefore, she must not feel that she is calculating her, then, if you want to be left and right, you have to think about it.
"When there is a suitable opportunity in the future, let's try it again." Sherlock remained silent, keeping the matter in his mind for the time being.
The Earl of Charlotte's audience lasted for two spells, which was not a diplomatic norm in the past, but many conventions have been broken at a time when time is so precious.
This meeting cut out the red tape and went straight to the point, completely setting some of the resolutions that Lin An had previously agreed with Anderio III, Lin An as a party, had to participate in the entire audience, and at the end of the covenant between the two parties, Lin An also imprinted his seal as one of the witnesses.
It took an afternoon, and he finally arrived, but Lin An was still not idle.
The maids gathered around Saxon and took off his heavy crown robe and cloak, Lin An sat aside to rest, and the Minister of Ceremonies came to ask for instructions on the engagement ceremony and dress, Saxon only said "Yi Qiē from Jane", and then looked at Lin An.
Generally, the engagement is prepared by the woman, and the wedding is prepared by the man.
But their situation this time is special, and most of the details are completely omitted, otherwise if you really want to care, which nobleman's engagement ceremony for marriage, don't prepare for a year and a half?
For the aristocracy, the engagement ceremony was more important, symbolic, and valued than the wedding: the wedding was only a union between a man and a woman, but the engagement represented the union of two families.
In high society, once the aristocracy was engaged, they were labeled as each other in the eyes of the people.
"I even wear a robe for the knighthood, what do you think I should wear for the engagement ceremony?" Lin An's face was expressionless, and his jade face was frosty.
Seeing this, Saxon waved his hand to order the minister of etiquette to retreat, and then said to Lin An:
"According to the old rites, every queen of Merlin must wear the 'eternal star' at the engagement ceremony, and this set of jewelry must have a matching dress to wear, which has been maintained by the Merlin royal family for two thousand one hundred and thirty-one years, and the Minister of Ceremonies is only faithful."
"I know." Lin An put his hand on the armrest of the seat, supported his forehead, and said lightly, "But I hope you can understand one thing, if the Merlin Empire can't hold on this time, then any tradition will disappear." ”
"Okay." The Saxons spread their hands and expressed compromise.
This was the first time they had been together privately since that proposal, and he didn't want to break up unhappily, so he swept his eyes and picked up a copy of the paper on the table.
"Regarding Donfero, the time is too short, I don't think you will waste time on this, but what needs to be done is still to be done, so that the people below will not be unstable." He handed the text to Lin An.
Lin An flipped through and listened to the Saxon:
"This is a letter of appointment. The officials of Donfero have all stayed in their positions, and none of them have moved, except for your seal. ”
Dong Ferro will have to return it sooner or later, just a hand, Lin An has no objection, and he swept the ten lines with a glance and no extra clauses, and signed and stamped it.
After signing the text in triplicate, Saxon rang the golden bell at the table, and the courtier came in and put the text into the tray. Walk out softly.
"Is there anything else you want to say?" Lin Andao. "If not, it's my turn."
Saxon made a gesture of please.
Lin An told the matter of the Mountain of Light.
Doing these things is to rest and relax after the meeting, after all, even if the demon clan comes tomorrow, Emperor Merlin can't even have time to catch his breath. Saxon originally looked more relaxed. As Lin An narrated. Gradually became solemn, sat up straight, and leaned forward slightly.
"How many people can fit in this half-plane?"
"I haven't been in. I'm not sure, but since the Holy See intends to live in it for a long time, I think it can accommodate at least 100,000 people. Lin Andao.
100,000 people sounds like a lot, but if it's just a short period of entry, not a long-term life, the area that can accommodate an army of 100,000 doesn't need to be much.
And an army of this size is enough to decide the victory or defeat of a major war.
If the demons want to occupy the Muse Continent, they also need a population, otherwise they can destroy it at most with high-end combat power, but they can't occupy and rule.
If on a large-scale battlefield, the Terran army can achieve a decisive advantage, it is also of strategic significance for defeating the invasion of the demons.
Because of this, the Deep Blue God would hand over the Mountain of Light to Lin An, because it would also reduce the pressure on them: if the Demon Legend made a mistake because of the disadvantage of the ground war, this was the opportunity for the Terran Legend to ambush them.
Saxon thought a lot in an instant, put the engagement ceremony and everything behind him, and immediately said: "Then what are you waiting for, immediately determine the situation of the half-plane, this is related to all the strategies around the Mountain of Light, we must think long-term!" ”
He paused, "Only you know about the Mountain of Light?" ”
"I'd love to answer in the affirmative, but unfortunately I'm not alone."
Lin An will tell the Saxons what happened in the Holy Empire.
"The Holy See regards the Mountain of Light as a secret place and will not reveal it, and Anderlevio III probably wouldn't have imagined that the Deep Blue God would lend you the Mountain of Light."
Saxon pondered, while analyzing:
"Although it is still possible to learn about the existence of the Mountain of Light if the demons track it down, however, I want to use it frequently to obtain partial victories, and I can't give full play to its effects, what do you think?"
Since the news of the marriage was made public, the title between the two has become you, and Lin An is now very used to it, nodding, "This is exactly what I think." ”
Back then, during the Scourge, the Holy See used the Koh-i-Noor to arm the Knights Templar into a magical force, but now they are facing a different situation.
Merlin didn't need miraculous victories to spread the faith, and the size of the Saxons' army was far from comparable to that of the Holy See, which had risen from the end of the day, and it would be a waste to use the Koh-i-Noor to change the tide of local battles.
Lin An and Saxon thought together, they both wanted to hide this killer feature, appear in the real fateful battle, and set the victory for the ground war in one fell swoop!
Of course, to do this, the Mountain of Light alone is not enough.
The powerhouses of the demon race will never sit idly by and watch them exterminate the ground army of the demon race, Lin An and they want to achieve this goal, they also need the cooperation of the legends of the human race, and the right time.
If successful, the Terrans will not only be able to reverse their disadvantage, but even win the game.
That's why the Saxons say we have to think long-term.
The two fell silent.
At this moment, there were no distractions in their minds, only a scrutinizing plan for the future war situation, as well as a review and calculation of their own resources and profitable opportunities.
After a while, the two of them came back to their senses, realizing the silence just now, but they were not embarrassed.
"In any case, the foundation of this qiē must be built on the Mountain of Light."
"Well, tomorrow at the latest, I'll tell you about the situation in the Mountain of Light." The Deep Blue Law God pointed out that if he lent the Mountain of Light to Lin An, Lin An couldn't fake his hands to others, even if it was a hot potato.
"Then the matter will be left to you," said Saxon, "and the existence of the Mountain of Light must be kept secret, and I do not want more people to know about it." ”
This sentence seemed to have a deep meaning, Lin An didn't understand what the Saxon meant, and said lightly: "If your Minister of Etiquette hadn't come to bother me, I'd have gone in now, Your Majesty." ”
"You seem to be exceptionally impatient today." Saxon raised an eyebrow.
"I haven't closed my eyes for three days and four nights," Lin An turned expressionless again, "If there's nothing wrong, please let me leave." ”
"Well, it seems that you need to take a good rest, and the matter of the Koh-i-Noor will be discussed tomorrow." Saxon stood up, "But you take the Mountain of Light with you, and I think it's better to rest in the palace." ”
"Thank you for your kindness, but I still have something to do in the house, so I won't stay."
Lin An had no intention of socializing anymore, nodded to Saxon, and got up to leave.
Saxon stood behind the long table and watched, his face calm.
When he returned to the mansion and saw the newly renovated gate and the badge on the gate, Lin An remembered that this place had been upgraded to the Duke's Palace.
Bedika and the servants also changed their uniforms and embroidered new insignia.
"Greetings to Your Majesty!"
"Why do you seem to be missing people?" Lin An asked Bedika.
"Have you forgotten? The regulations of the Earl's Court are no longer in line with your status, and His Majesty the Saxons have given a new palace. Bedica pursed her lips and smiled, her expression bright, "Although it's just a separate palace, you can't be sloppy, it's being cleaned up over there now, although the royal family has enough servants, but those newcomers don't know your preferences, I sent some people over to take command." ”
Lin An remembered.
She does have a separate palace in the palace city, which is near the palace of Prince Cyril, which was given by the Grand Duke when she was crowned the Grand Duke, but it is inconspicuous compared to the fiefdom title and so on, and has long been ignored by her.
It stands to reason that her real palace is in East Ferro, but construction has not yet begun.
People are not surprised.
Since they are going to get married, Lin An will definitely marry Pompey, and it is estimated that Dong Ferro will not be able to go back a few times, and it is normal for the construction of the palace to be postponed.
Lin An was not as tired as he said to the Saxons, it was a fact that he hadn't slept for three days and three nights, but he was not so tired that he couldn't see things.
After washing his face under Bedika's service, and was about to go to see Titi and Andre, Lin Anxin suddenly felt a throbbing!
Titi is awake!
Lin An was pleasantly surprised and immediately went to the bedroom.
When I opened the door, I saw Titi being thrown down on the bed by William, the huge beast body and long hair were almost buried by, William was washing's face with his tongue full of barbs, and Lin An's big bed was tossed by them, a mess, and feathers flew around.
Titi felt Lin An coming back, struggled to lift William down, sat up, and looked at the door, "Ann! ”
Lin Ancai, who stopped at the door, breathed a sigh of relief and walked over quickly, wanting to take a few looks, but was pulled down by Titi and held in his arms.
