"What do you think?" asked Maggs, squinting at Durin.

He admired the young man in his heart, and from the time he was forty years old, everyone either respected him or feared him, except for Durin. No visitor would ever sleep in his house, and even if something important was said to be two or three days or even later in the middle of the night, these people would leave very voluntarily without causing any trouble to Mags.

But this was not the case with Durin, he came after lunch and asked about etiquette, after all, he was about to face a member of the royal family, and if he made a rude act, it would make him very shameless.

A person has to do hundreds or thousands of great things to make most people admire him and look up to him, but if you do an unseemly thing, soon most people will laugh at him. This is very unfair because fairness is not in the hands of the weak.

After a brief introduction to court etiquette...... , no more, and then Durin took a book and sat in Mags's study and looked at it, and when he looked at Mags, he heard a snoring sound, and Durin actually fell asleep on the sofa. He couldn't forget the moment he felt at a loss, and he didn't know if he should politely wake up Durin and tell him that he had accidentally fallen asleep in his study. If he is very struggling, there are some rooms in the villa that have not been used in decades but are cleaned every day to allow him to rest.

Or ...... Leave him alone, let him sleep here for a while?

He can fall asleep while reading, he should be very tired during this time, right?

Then Maggs laughed dumbly, how many people in the whole empire and even the whole world wanted to talk to him in this study, but this bastard actually fell asleep here. Maggs shook his head while laughing, tucked the book he was reading under his arm, and quietly left the study, and then he woke up Durin, who was drooling while sleeping. He had never heard of Doolin drooling while sleeping, and he certainly wouldn't inquire about it, which he found amusing, and laughed at Doolin for a while.

In fact, in essence, Magus still admires Durin quite a lot, and not everyone can doze off in front of the first person in the empire and then fall asleep.

Doolin is definitely one of a kind.

At this time, Durin seemed to have forgotten the embarrassment of his recent past, and he caressed the half of the wall that was obscured by mottled shadows, and the moss and many ancient marks in the brick cracks gave a sign of how the wall had survived. It's a pity that now it's really just a wall, and it's no longer some kind of nobility and power. One would not use the walls of the palace to describe a certain circle, never again.

He shook his head and said with a smile, "I have fulfilled a wish......", looking at Maggs as he looked listening, Durin chuckled twice, "Actually, there is nothing, when I was a child, I always felt that the palace was far away from me, but now that I have grown up, I really realize that it is indeed far away from me, even if I can touch it." ”

Maggs chewed on the words, and he immediately came to his senses, keeping his face and not saying anything. He understood what Du Lin meant, when he was a child, he thought that the most powerful person in this world was the emperor who lived in the palace, but now that he has grown up, he is no longer simple, he realizes that what he wants is exactly what he does not have here, although it is just emotion, but it is also full of many things.

The two entered the palace one after the other, and the soldiers did not stop them and let them go directly.

Entering the palace, Durin was a little disappointed, to be precise, this palace was not as grand as the palace in his dream, more vast, just like ...... Something that the nouveau riche used to put on display.

Although he followed behind Maggs quietly, Mags could clearly feel that no matter how much Durin felt before he came in, he had something to look forward to. But after coming in, he became calmer, which made him a little curious. Is it not luxurious and noble here, or is he sublimated again?

Maggs is an old man who has always been curious, and when a person has curiosity, he will have enough awe, and he can't help but ask, "You seem to think this place is normal?"

Durin nodded, "It's worse than I thought!", Maggs said with a smile as he showed a surprised expression, "I thought that after walking in, I would be able to feel a sense of oppression from the top down, which makes people feel irrepressible awe, but in fact, there is no such feeling. The palace I saw was just an outward manifestation of productivity, and to be honest, vulgar. ”

"That's an interesting statement, keep it on!", Magston was intrigued, the first time he had heard it, and he couldn't help but wonder why Durin said it, though he already had some guesses.

Du Lin didn't care that he was in the palace, and there were statue-like palace guards everywhere on both sides of the road, and he directly threw out his opinion, "In the past, when the production force was low, it took a lot of financial and manpower to build a beautiful palace, and a weak country simply did not have enough resources to build such a luxurious and exquisite palace, let alone wrap the corners of the bricks with gold. This imperial palace represents the national strength of the time, and it can also be said that the empire surpasses the productivity of other countries. It's more like a symbol, or a kind of intimidation, to scare small countries. ”

"When the envoys of those small nations entered this palace, they could not imagine how rich and powerful the empire was, and even the bricks on the ground would be covered with gold, so that they would be afraid of the empire, even if in reality the empire was not as powerful as they thought!"

"The human eye can deceive!"

Maggs nodded after listening, "It's a very interesting statement, it's very novel, and there is some truth to it." He glanced at Durin, "And what is your ideal palace?"

Durin smiled like a child in his twenties, showing two rows of teeth brilliantly, "Guess?!"

If the old man wants to trick me, he really treats me like a child!

This little bastard!

Not to mention the smiles on the faces of the two, they walked into a palace in their hearts, and Her Royal Highness the princess was struggling to put on the corset at this time.

"Your Highness, you should lose weight, this is the corset of the new work in February, but it is obviously much smaller. The chief maid stood behind Her Royal Highness the princess, watching the two maids desperately pull the zipper of the girdle one by one, and couldn't help but emphasize.

The little girl pressed her hands on her chest, her face turned red, she felt that it was very uncomfortable to take a breath now, especially the two melons were about to be squeezed into her face, "I'm not fat, understand?"
