Chapter 475: Marriage
Linton didn't know much about the Church of Light, but he probably knew that it still had a lot of influence on the mainland. There is basically a church in the cities in the empire, and even the novice village town built by Linton before has a small church, which can imagine the influence of the Church of Light.
To be honest, Linton doesn't want to have anything to do with this kind of god-like organization, after all, he is not religious, and in the eyes of non-believers, all religions are basically organizations that fool people, and Linton's first reaction when he heard the Church of Light was the same. The problem of people in this world is particularly serious, and almost everyone is a supporter of the church when science has barely developed, which leads to the church almost mastering the entire direction of public opinion, in other words, it says that what is black is black, and what is white is white, and Linton is still very disgusted by this.
Even the royal family didn't want to mess with the church, Linton also heard the old man Klose talk about this matter, the church is also a very powerful force in politics, although it does not govern directly, but it can affect the political aspect, when Wren rebelled, he also considered the influence of the church.
Of course, if the other party really wants to be rigid, Linton said that he will also be rigid with you, but it is really unnecessary, what can you get if you bring down the Church of Light? Linton's main task at present is not to do tasks and get contributions, and not to pull out feudal superstitions or anything, for this aspect, there is really no need to confront the church, but it will affect his own construction tasks.
This time, the church sent people, and I don't know what the purpose is. Linton guessed for a moment, on the one hand, it was also possible that his own research on "necromancy" was reported, after all, what Linton did was not very hidden. On the other hand, it may also have something to do with the affairs of the Cthulhu Church, after all, the influence of this matter is also expanding now, of course, I hope it is the latter, so that Linton does not have to deal directly with the church.
While thinking about it, Linton also returned to Moon Lake City, of course, through the way of teleportation by Flying Thunder God. With a flash of white light, Linton appeared directly in the hall of the Duke's Palace, and at this time it seemed that a banquet was being held here, and Linton also appeared directly next to Garsein, who was dining.
"So I said it, can I show up normally next time." Garsein also ate the food in his mouth without hurrying, and then said, he was almost used to Linton's sudden attack.
Linton glanced at it, there were quite a few people in the banquet hall, but not many people sitting at the table to eat. The first to sit on the main seat is Garsein, and in the position of the other guest, the first is the third princess Yalan, who has not been seen for a long time, and there is also an old acquaintance behind her, Barry, the captain of the Maple Leaf Guard, it seems that the third princess did not sneak out this time, and the guards followed.
Princess Arlan was surrounded by a girl she had never seen before, looking very young, estimated to be about the same age as Princess Arlan, with very conspicuous long white and blonde hair, wearing a gorgeous white robe, and her whole body seemed to exude a holy light. Linton looked behind her, and there were several knights in gold-rimmed armor, obviously also guards, so if she guessed correctly, this girl might be someone from the church.
In addition, there are two people who are obviously dressed as civil officials in the back position, both of them are old men of some age, Linton looks at them and has a little impression, they should be the ministers of the palace, and they should have seen them in the palace during the coup d'état before.
"Linton." Seeing Linton appear, Princess Yalan here stood up happily and said hello, while the church girl next to her was much calmer, first put down her knife and fork, picked up a napkin and wiped her mouth elegantly, and then got up, saluted with her long skirt and said, "This is the Sword Saint Linton. Merlot the great, Priest of the Church, Melissa. Teoduro. Paulino. Sobrino, on behalf of the Church, greetings you. ”
After Melissa saluted, several church knights behind her also bowed slightly to Linton, naturally out of respect for the holy level. From the current point of view, several people did not see obvious hostility, and Linton also pressed his hand and said, "Sit first, sit first." ”
After saying that, Linton also directly pulled out the chair next to him and sat down, Garseen waved his hand at the servant next to him, and the servant here was naturally going to serve dinner to Linton.
Seeing Linton take a seat, several people also sat down again. Linton also naturally asked about the purpose of several people coming here, of course, the first person to ask was the third princess Yalan.
"This time I am here mainly to express my gratitude to you on behalf of my father." Princess Arran said. Sure enough, the purpose of Princess Yalan's coming here was that Linton had also guessed it, after all, Linton had helped the emperor a lot, not only solved the problem of the coup d'état, but also helped the emperor get the dragon blood sword grass by the way, and solved the health problems of the royal family, so the emperor must express his gratitude.
However, it was really troublesome to find Linton, not to mention his whereabouts, and Linton himself was too lazy to deal with the emperor, so the emperor had never seen Linton until now. Then this time Princess Yalan came here naturally to inquire about Linton's whereabouts just now, Linton has been busy with construction in the territory for the past few days, and finally showed up, and the emperor who heard Linton's whereabouts also sent Princess Yalan over.
Princess Yalan also said that although Emperor Wigley wanted to express his gratitude in person, he was really busy with official business and couldn't get out of it at all, so she could only express his gratitude on behalf of the royal family.
Of course, expressing gratitude is only one thing, and Princess Arlan soon talks about another thing, that is, Emperor Wigley wants Linton to return to live in the imperial capital.
"Back to the imperial capital?" Linton was slightly stunned when he heard this, generally speaking, a family with a fief like the Merlowe family, family members will stay in their own territory, but there are generally some family members left in the imperial capital, on the one hand, it is convenient to contact the royal family, and more importantly, it is a hostage, if you rebel, then the members of the imperial capital will naturally be detained. However, this is an unspoken rule between the nobility and the royal family, and the emperor means that he will be a hostage in the imperial capital? It doesn't seem right, after all, he is a saint-level, how can there be a saint-level hostage, I guess please go back to the town, after all, it is quite strange for the saint-level to stay in a fief of the empire.
Seeing that Linton didn't seem to understand for a while, the minister, who was sitting a little further back, coughed a little and gave Garseen a look. Garseen also understood, got up and walked to Linton's side, pulled Linton over a little and whispered.
"Master Kormit over there just said hello to me, and this time you are asked to go back mainly about your marriage." Garseen said.
"Marital problems?" Linton was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly looked at Princess Arlan here.
"Understood, if you go back to the imperial capital, it will be more convenient for the two sides to contact, and after a while, I will submit a marriage request to His Majesty on behalf of the family, and the wedding can be completed by taking advantage of the situation." Garseen said.
Linton understood that if it was an ordinary princess marrying into the minister's family, it would be of the nature of a marriage, and if the emperor liked someone, he would just issue a decree directly. However, Linton's situation is different, he is a saint-level, so the emperor can't say that he will marry the princess, isn't this a slap in the face of all saint-level, so the emperor can't give a direct order, and of course he can't take the initiative to send a daughter. The result of the discussion was that the Merowee family proposed a marriage, and the emperor agreed, so that both sides would not hurt face.
This time the palace came, and the princess expressed her gratitude on behalf of the emperor, and these ministers came to discuss the marriage with the Merowee family. It seems that the emperor is also a little anxious, Linton, a person who was promoted to the holy level in his twenties, is simply a dragon and phoenix among people, and has a great favor to their royal family, so he must be tied to the royal chariot as soon as possible, and it just so happens that he and Princess Yalan have a good impression again, that's not a good thing.
After understanding, this matter will be convenient, Linton also looked at Princess Yalan again, Princess Yalan here obviously knew what the two of them were whispering again, and lowered her head with a slight blush, avoiding Linton's gaze. Of course, Linton is not a fool, and he immediately understood, Princess Yalan obviously knew about it, and the girl naturally agreed if she didn't object.
"Get married, ......" Seriously Linton didn't think about such a far-reaching thing, although he boasted that he wanted to marry the most beautiful woman in the country, but it wasn't a mouthful. Now that this has happened, Linton still doesn't know what to do.
Of course, Princess Yalan is really beautiful and a good person, but the problem is that Linton himself hasn't figured out who he is, and it always feels like it's not the time to get married. However, looking at the situation on Yalan's side, although the other party avoided his gaze, he had been peeking at himself, which was obviously waiting for his answer, to be honest, it was so cute, there was no way to refuse.
"Uh...... It's okay to go back, but I still have some things to take care of here. Linton thought for a moment and said.
"You've got a wool thing." Gasein, who was next to him, said, "What the hell have you been up to lately?" ”
Of course, Garseen knows what Linton did, but he can't understand it, this is inexplicably wandering around the nearby city, and then he also opened an alchemy material store, what is the trouble? Big brother, are you a saint-level, are you preparing to turn into a businessman?
"Anyway, there are some things, I will go to the imperial capital after I am done." Linton waved his hand and said, then directly changed the topic and said to Melissa next to him, "So what is Miss Melissa doing here?" ”
