Chapter 651: Audience
Accepting such a gift package, I can't help but express it.
Early the next morning, Moriarty went to the "Lion Palace" to visit Lady Lanjing. After a cordial "reminiscence", he signed a memorandum of cooperation with the Lord of Blue Crystal in the name of the Reinhardt family, the main content of which was about the field of alchemy. Of course, such cooperation is also a win-win situation. The alchemy studio under the Azure City Lord's Mansion is profound, and it can compete with Hockenheim College for a long time, and the Earth Studio has joined forces with it, so naturally "one plus one is greater than two".
Within a short time, the initial memorandum of cooperation was sent to Queen Griffin's desk.
After reading it in a hurry, the queen couldn't help but be furious, but she was helpless for a while.
In a word, it is commendable and commendable that the nobles of Erathia were able to cooperate with the magicians of Bracada in such depth. It's a pity that behind Aquamarine City is the Duke of Stormstorm Sea, which really makes Queen Griffin feel tired of eating flies raw, and she can't get rid of it.
"Your Majesty, in any case, we still need to give a proper and positive assessment of this Memorandum."
Seeing that the queen had been bored for a long time, Mrs. Rochester had to advise.
"Hmph..."
Queen Griffin snorted softly, her anger slowly retracted.
After lunch, Moriarty met the Queen in the Hall of Mirrors at Sanssouci Palace.
Sitting on a throne made of pure gold, surrounded by special crystal glass, Queen Griffin looked majestic and graceful, and faintly a trace of gold floated around her, setting it off as if a goddess had descended.
"See Your Majesty."
Moriarty was more interested in the Hall of Mirrors than the Queen herself.
It is said that it was here that Griffin Hart, the griffon king, ascended to the throne. So after Shi Li got up, he took a closer look at this beautiful palace.
"Reinhardt, how did you rest last night?"
The other party was looking at the Hall of Mirrors, and the queen was also looking at him carefully.
There were too many big people at the banquet yesterday. Queen Griffin needs to greet them all, so not enough attention is paid to Moriarty. Now that they are facing each other, the queen has to admit that the new viscount and grand arcanist in front of her has an excellent temperament and a powerful aura.
Although the other party was her own vassal, Queen Griffin could clearly feel some kind of faint oppression coming from her. It didn't come from the coercion of extreme strength. To the Queen's astonishment, she couldn't even detect a trace of true power from Moriarty. It was as if the man were just a helpless child, or a completely harmless plant. But it's in this extreme disparity. Queen Griffin was still under an unspeakable intimidation that no other Pole had ever seen.
"Well rested, thank you for your care." Moriarty smiled humbly, then took out a box from his arms and handed it to the attendant on the side: "The first time I met Your Majesty, some hometown specialties for enjoyment." ”
"Oh? What is it? ”
Local nobles were summoned to the royal capital, and it was customary to present gifts such as wine, horses, and swords. But now it's wartime. The etiquette collapsed, and the queen could no longer focus on such a "little thing", but the other party still remembered it, and she couldn't help but have some good feelings.
Taking the box passed by the waiter, the queen gently opened it. But I saw that the inside of the box was covered with black velvet, and it was covered with a layer of gold veil. Under the gold veil, a pair of gold bead earrings and a string of silver bead necklaces are placed. There was a tulle separation, but in the light of day. Both the stud earrings and the necklace exude a charming dotted halo, which can be called the best.
But what worries Queen Griffin more is that. Both the gold and silver beads have faint magical fluctuations, and there is no doubt that they are alchemical items.
"What is this?"
First took the silver bead necklace in her hand, and the queen asked without raising her head.
"Magic set 'Lady Pearl'." Moriarti said loudly: "The Golden Bead Stud Earrings can provide '+2 Magic Resistance Effect', the Silver Bead Necklace can provide '+3 Physical Defense Effect', and the set attribute '+1 Face Protection Effect'." ”
"Protect your face!?"
Immediately, the queen was surprised and looked at someone.
"Yes." Moriarty nodded, "These gold and silver beads come from the petrified swamps of the underworld. Conceived by two rare stone shells, it naturally has the miraculous effect of repairing the complexion. I also get it occasionally, so I make it into a set, I hope Your Majesty can like it. ”
"Well, Reinhardt really has a heart."
I looked at "Madame Butterfly" in the eye box again. Queen Griffin couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth any longer.
Compared to the more practical "+2 magic resistance effect" and "+3 physical defense effect", "+1 face protection effect" is obviously more able to win a woman's heart, let alone the heart of an aging mature woman. If it weren't for the careful internal and external inspection, I'm afraid the queen would have been tempted to put the suit on now.
With the "Lady Pearl" as a foreshadowing, the subsequent talks between the monarchs and ministers became quite harmonious.
The queen first inquired about Moriarty's experiences and experiences during his early years of study, as if chattering; He then praised the other party's numerous military exploits for Erathia in the War of Resistance against Demons, as well as the extraordinary exploits of killing the Cult of Light-Order. Finally, he turned the conversation back to the difficulties faced by the kingdom in the coming period, and hoped that Viscount Reinhardt would be able to assist the royal family in the country's difficulties.
In this regard, Moriarty also responded one by one, and bluntly mentioned his "Clear Thief Policy".
No, Queen Griffin can only use the excuse of the righteousness and high-sounding reasons of some countries, saying that for the time being, she can only implement the "Baojia Law" in the Kingdom, and as for the matter of the Church, it is not yet appropriate, it is quite regrettable, and so on.
Hearing this, Moriarty didn't see anything unusual, but just nodded yes.
But the more she remained so quiet, the more the queen's heart fluctuated.
Fearing to completely push the other party to the side of the Duke of Lorraine, and as a plausification for refusing the "Clear Thief Policy", Queen Griffin finally took the initiative to come up with some price, that is, a batch of holy relics confiscated from the Church of Light after screening.
Because the selected products are all good high-end products, although they have gone through hundreds of years of vicissitudes, the five holy relics that finally appeared in front of Moriarty are still dazzling, and even reveal a faint rhythm of light. They are: the mid-level Light Sword "Rift Lan", the mid-level Light Shield "Zhonggu", the mid-level penance crown of thorns "Chongxin", the bishop's cross badge "Heavenly Stone", and a cardinal's crown "Heavenly Ladder".
Looking at the five bright old objects carefully displayed in front of him, Moriarty was first surprised, then comprehended, and finally put away one by one after thanking.
Seeing this, the queen also nodded in satisfaction.
But just then, the head of the inner court suddenly hurried into the Hall of Mirrors and handed Queen Griffin an urgent military report. (To be continued.) )
