Chapter 106: Be Honest and Honest
"Good! Very good! Very good! Chen Jian's answer pleased Empress Catherine, who laughed again and sat back in her chair.
"With the help of someone like you, I believe I will have a lot easier in the future! Your reward will be officially issued soon, and before that, we need to find a way to get things done in the Elven Kingdom! In this regard, what do you think about it? ”
Jian Chen hesitated for a while, did not answer the empress's question, but changed the topic to the other side: "Your Majesty, I still have some things, you may not know, I think, it is better for me to explain to you first, lest you have some unnecessary misunderstandings about me in the future!" ”
As he spoke, Jian Chen explained in detail that he had accidentally learned the magic of the undead due to the transfer of the soul of the Lich Dora, of course, he omitted the process of the soul struggle and casually brought it over.
This matter is very important, the reputation of undead magic on the continent is really too stinky, and Chen Jian has not used these magic for a long time, first, because of the lack of magic power; The second is because of the fear of causing panic among the people, you must know that in the eyes of ordinary people, necromancer magic is a rather terrifying thing, and necromancer is an evil existence; As for the third reason, it is afraid of attracting the crusade of the imperial army, and the empress's father was killed by the necromancers, and the necromancers can be described as deep as the sea.
But now that Jian Chen has decided to be the little brother of the empress's eldest sister, he naturally has to explain these things clearly, although it seems to be more beneficial to him to conceal it, but in case of an incident in the future, it will be endless troubles, for the sake of safety, Chen Jian still decided to make things clear now, with his observation, the empress is actually a good person, I believe that even if she can't accept this fact, she shouldn't give herself anything right away, and then he and her will break up. By the way, Jian Chen also confessed that he had the treasure of Terrence Rockven in his hands.
Although the imperial decree clearly stipulates that the property of the nobles is sacrosanct, but with Chen Jian's idea, the husband is not guilty, and he is guilty, after all, it is like some precious treasures, if the empress really wants it, he is really not good not to give it.
In fact, Chen Jian had already explained the matter of treasures to High Priest Ryan, and he would not hide it from the empress, but the empress never had the idea of fighting these treasures, which showed that the empress either looked down on these treasures, or was afraid of losing people's hearts and was embarrassed to take people's favors.
Even so, Chen Jian felt that it was better for him to be open and honest, and he also showed that he was above board and upright, and he could make a good impression on himself in front of his boss.
"You even know how to do undead magic? Haven't you become a necromancer? After listening to Jian Chen's words, Empress Catherine immediately frowned, "This is a bit troublesome, do many people know about this matter?" ”
Seeing that the empress's reaction didn't seem to be very calculating, Jian Chen was a little surprised, he shook his head and replied: "The only people who know are a few of my henchmen, and they will never say it!" And I haven't used any magic to this day due to my lack of magic! ”
Empress Catherine nodded, pondered for a while, and then said, "I'm not afraid to tell you, I used to have a very deep prejudice about necromancy and necromancers, thinking that they were all evil beings, but after my father's incident, my mind has changed a little. ”
"In my quest to free my father, I came into contact with a number of necromancers, and I fought alongside some of them, and I realized at the time that they were not all evil people with a bad conscience, they also had a good side, and many magicians chose to become necromancers only because they coveted eternal life, so that they could have unlimited time to go further on the road of magic. It's just that their behavior of desecrating the corpses of the dead is really unacceptable to other races, so they will end up in the current situation where the clans on the whole continent are shouting and fighting, and eventually lead to these kind necromancers having to join Diya in order to survive and become enemies of other races and countries, which is a rather helpless and terrifying vicious circle. In fact, in my opinion, the essence of magic is not good or evil, it is just a manifestation of power, and whether it is evil or not depends on the will of the power user itself. You can't say that if a sword kills an innocent person, that sword is evil, right? The only thing that is truly evil is the man with the sword! If it weren't for the actions of those necromancers that made my father's soul so angry that he became an undead and lost his mind, I don't think he would have become so evil! ”
Speaking of the past, the Empress couldn't help but feel a little sad, she sighed, and said: "You don't make a noise about this matter for the time being, and don't use those necromancers publicly, I want to think about how to do it, and if possible, I want this to be an opportunity for people to re-accept those good necromancers." As for those treasures, nothing else, but all the magic mercury produced by the Endless Mercury Vial will be supplied to the Imperial Military Department, and the Imperial Military Department will buy it from you at the market price! ”
Empress Catherine's open-mindedness made Chen Jian breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that it was no wonder that the Empress would become such a legendary figure, her idea was indeed different.
And listening to the meaning of the empress's words, there was also the feeling of wanting to take those necromancers for his own use, which had to make Jian Chen deeply admire the empress's broad mind.
As the so-called one who achieves great things, he is not informal.
What's more, the empress didn't have the idea of beating Chen Jian's treasures, which made Chen Jian very happy.
Speaking of other treasures, there are nothing, even Terrence Rockwin's magic notes Chen Jian can be handed over to the empire, but the two treasures of the Endless Mercury Vase and the Laser Gun, one is related to Chen Jian's money bag, and the other is related to Chen Jian's personal safety, if he wants to hand it over, it must be absolutely reluctant.
Now that he can stay openly, can Jian Chen be unhappy?
"Your Majesty's wisdom will lead the empire to a new bright path!"
Jian Chen, who had no worries, was very happy, so he slapped the empress on the back.
This sentence brought a smile back to the Empress's face.
"It turns out that you are also very good at making sycophants, Viscount Chen Jian. But should you tell me what you think of the current situation in the Empire and the Elven Kingdom? ”
This topic made Jian Chen's head suddenly feel three inches bigger, where would he have any opinion, he always thought that as long as the reinforcements arrived, there should be nothing to do with his little lord here.
Even so, Jian Chen naturally didn't bother to think about the possible evolution of the situation in the future.
It's a pity that the situation has changed unexpectedly now, due to some crooked coincidences and some more beautiful misunderstandings, Chen Jian has now become a rare peerless genius in the eyes of the empress, this question is really unlikely that he wants not to answer.
After holding it for a long time, Chen Jian finally thought of a more Taiji statement: "In fact, Your Majesty has already made up his mind about this matter, so I won't be ugly!" ”
Regarding Jian Chen's answer, the empress shook her head with a smile, not minding much: "You are very lazy!" I know I already have a plan, so I don't want to waste my saliva to say it! But even if you can see through my previous actions, you will definitely be able to guess the layout in the back, don't say anything! Ryan said that you have a good set of military training, why don't you take me to see your good soldiers now? I want to see what kind of soldier can make the battle-hardened hero Ryan praise too! ”
"As you wish, Your Majesty!" Jian Chen, who was able to escape, naturally agreed to the empress's proposal, and he was still very confident in the training after what happened last time.
So under the escort of a group of archangel guards, Empress Catherine and Jian Chen came to the town of Hammondale together.
