Chapter 32: The Emperor's Request
It was already evening when the old emperor received the news that Lorraine and the others had returned to the palace, but fortunately, at this time, everyone, including the Norman army, had no intention of continuing to fight, and he was able to meet these adventurers smoothly.

"Thank you very much for your contributions to the Empire, especially Master Lorraine, your heroic actions are definitely commendable." The old emperor said sincerely to everyone.
"This is what we should do, Your Majesty, all for the Empire!" When you see people talking about people, you talk nonsense, and when you see the leader, of course, you have to follow his wishes, and you don't need to be taught at all to save face, so Lorraine answered by herself.
The emperor was very satisfied with his answer, it didn't matter if the other party was really for the empire, he was absolutely not stingy with heroes, and he still had to ask Lorraine.
"Because of your actions, you will all be awarded the Imperial Green Leaf Knight's Medal, and the Lorraine Mage will receive a higher-level Golden Oak Gem Medal and a nice bonus, then my squire will take you to rest first, the Empire still has a lot of things to deal with for me." After speaking, the old emperor knocked the bell on the table, and the royal guards and old attendants, who had long been guarding the door, walked in and took everyone to rest.
When they arrived at the resting place, they began to complain to each other, especially Yuri, as a merchant of death, he had already been defeated by the other party's miserliness when he saw the emperor for the first time, "This old emperor is too picky, he has been loud for so long, and a medal can take us down?" ”
"That's right, the Green Leaf Knight Medal is just like that, and what is slightly more valuable is the attached knight title, but this world wants a knight title to have a basket for it!" Thaiwen was also in a bad mood and played fancy juggling with the medal in his hand.
"What's the use of saying this, Lorraine, how about your jewel medal and bonus?" Ezinaha looked at the mage with a curious expression, and Lorraine thought for a moment, then pulled out and looked at the Oak Jewel Medal in his hand.
The handmade medal is made of a golden oak tree, inlaid with countless red broken gemstones, which looks very beautiful, and at the same time, this symbol of honor can also make people feel happy when worn, make people look full of spirits, and the magic processing of the gadget is indeed a valuable good.
"There's still a little magic effect, better than nothing, what about the bonus?"
"That's right, let's see how much the prize is!"
Open the box sent by the old squire, it is full of all kinds of metal currency, the golden color is dazzling, the eyes of the people are blind, although it is said that it is good-looking, but in fact, everyone took stock together and found that the royal family is really poor.
Gold coins look like a lot, but there are more than 500 in total, plus silver coins and a very small amount of copper coins, which accounts for half of the box, and the remaining half is actually mostly treasury bonds, and when the news of the imperial capital is spread, it is estimated that it will not take long to become waste paper, but Lorraine has no place to spend it now, and a small part is Riberia's naval bonds, which is relatively valuable, but unfortunately the number is too small to be worth mentioning.
"Look at it, the emperor of the dignified St. Orlando Empire can only take out such a small bonus, and he still puts copper coins in it, it's really unlucky!" It's still Yuri who is sneering over there, and the others don't have the heart to raise the bar with him anymore, after all, the old emperor's approach is really unpleasant.
At this time, the old attendant came here again, "Ah, it seems that you haven't rested yet, please wash up a little, someone will lead you to the meal later, Master Lorraine, please come with me." ”
Lorraine, who didn't know why, had to follow the old squire and walked out, the scenery of the Mirror Palace was only slightly looked at during the previous martial arts trial, and now Lorraine, who was not under any pressure, noticed that there was quite a lot of dust here and there were many cracks on the walls, presumably the attack of the aristocratic faction was very fierce before.
Without any conversation, the two hurried around and went, and after a long distance came to a remote dwelling, where Lorraine saw the old emperor, the royal mage, and Princess Josephine, lying unconscious in bed.
It seems that the little iron sheets have been reliable for a while, and they thought that they would not be able to send the princess back when they handed it over to them, but fortunately they are here now, and they don't remember Josephine's affairs when they go to solve the giant god soldiers, and Lorraine is in a cold sweat when he thinks of this.
"Here you are, Mage Lorraine." The old emperor was the first to speak, but after a few hours of not seeing him, he could see the deep tiredness on the other party's face, but the chairman next to him looked indifferent with a red face.
"Yes, Your Majesty, may I ask what is the matter with me?"
"Now you may also know something about the situation in the imperial capital, I hope you can leave as soon as possible, with your friends, of course."
"This ......"
"Listen to me, although the aristocratic faction has suffered heavy losses, but the royal family is even more powerless, we have just learned about the situation on the northern border, the damned Duke of Koman has defected to the enemy, which means that the Norman emperor can send troops over, and even more unfortunately, the royal agents have just discovered that bastard from Hasil has entered and exited the Norman camp, and I am sure that they are ready to unite." The old emperor said angrily, and he could hear that the old man was very, very angry but also very helpless.
Lorraine looked at the president casually, with the existence of such a legendary mage, even if the other party wants to do anything, he needs to consider his face, but the president said: "Lorraine doesn't need to look at me like this, I can't help in this matter, in fact, the church has invited me to investigate the matter of the so-called blood god, this matter is more serious than the change of state power, so ......"
I see, no wonder the old emperor didn't ask the president for help, but what was the purpose of calling himself over? Immediately, the old emperor continued: "The reason why I called you over is not only to remind you to leave quickly, but also to hope that you can take Josephine away, this is also the way I prepared for the royal family, if something misfortune really happens, then at least she can continue the blood of the Sylvia Empress." “
After saying that, the old emperor hung a necklace around Josephine's neck, and the winged goddess statue with her eyes closed seemed to be praying, in fact, the magical aura and bloodline exclusive mark emitted on it indicated that this was a magical magic item that belonged exclusively to the royal family.
"Josephine's current state of coma is due to a lot of blood loss and negative energy erosion, the church and the elders have already cast spells for her, and she will wake up soon, but now that time is pressing, I can only hand her over to you, please take my daughter to the Korsaland Peninsula, and give this secret letter to my son, Crown Prince Baron? Brittana, he will arrange your whereabouts in the future, and please don't refuse. ”
How is this possible to refuse...... Lorraine smiled bitterly at the secret letter in the old emperor's hand, outside the palace was the royal general Battuso and his soldiers, the legendary mage elder stayed here as an overseer, if it was really not interesting, the end would not be so pleasant.
"I understand, please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely take the princess to find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The old emperor smiled with satisfaction, "Well, this time really depends on a heroic boy like you Lorraine, I also want to announce that you are now in addition to the identity of the royal mage, once again incorporated into the regular army of the empire, I appoint you as the commander of the new Seventh Legion, of course, it is a pity that I have neither soldiers, weapons, nor funds to provide you, you can only find a way to revisit the legion yourself." ”
"Isn't it...... The commander of the light pole is too miserable, can you give me some stragglers, even if it is a little bit of a fight! ”
"Sorry, no, but Josephine's personal guard still has a lot of people, you can recruit them, okay I've been here for too long, please act as soon as possible."
Under the cover of the old squire, Lorraine returned to her temporary residence with the princess, who might have been in great trouble, and was told that she must arrive at the designated place in the early hours of the morning, where the president would be responsible for transporting them to safety before heading to the Kolsaland Peninsula.
After sending the other party away, Lorraine began to be in a daze at Josephine on the bed, he had never been so irritable as he was today, involved in chaotic adventures, fighting off the weapons of the age of the sage and then national strife and escorting the princess, which would be a big seller if it were written into a book!
But the princess is really beautiful, that figure is so hot enough, people can't stand it! Don't forget that no matter how feminine Lorraine looks, he is also a man, so the sinful paw quietly reaches out to the sleeping princess, "Wow! It's so soft! It's not magical! ”
Then the door suddenly opened, and the large Lori Ireen walked in first, her face stiffened-Lorraine, who had her back to her, was like a girl at the moment, clutching the mountain peak of Her Royal Highness the pale princess, as if some kind of wonderful plot had happened, and she had the urge to have a nosebleed, but she resisted!
The instantaneous impact magic flipped Lorraine over directly on the bed, and then yelled, "Don't come in now, I have something to say to Lorraine!" "After saying that, the door is closed, and there is magic blocking the door, and you can still hear Uncle Azinaha's wailing outside, saying that my Lori is disobedient, and what nonsense is about longevity.
It's a pity that Lorraine didn't pay attention to these at all, and watched the large Lori slowly walk over with a frightened face, and the magic condensed in his hand made his heart tremble, "Tell me, do you have any last words, pervert!" ”
"Don't, don't! The captain is merciful, here's how it goes......"
Everyone outside the door waited boredly for a while, Sam and Tevin actually played cards with Yuri, and suddenly heard a crash in the room and Lorraine's screams, which startled everyone, and Kalinin, who had finally escaped from the battlefield, said to Azinaha: "What is the matter with you? ”
"Who knows, maybe it's Xiao Yilin who needs to vent, maybe she's beating Lorraine, I, a warrior, don't know much about things between mages."
"I see......"
The door opened again at this time, and the expressionless large Lori walked out, followed by Lorraine, who fell to the ground foaming at the mouth, "Everyone get ready, leave here in the early morning, don't ask the reason This is an order." ”
