……
"It is worthy of an intermediate civilization, and in terms of life enjoyment, it is much stronger than us." Anthony swallowed the second slice of fish in one gulp, slamming his massive size into Nicholas at his side.
"How many times have I told you, don't rub it over!" Nicholas was in a good mood to enjoy the delicious food, completely ruined by Anthony, and there was an irritation in his eerie voice.
On the plate in front of him, the thin fillets of fish were cut into small pieces, and they were savored one by one. There was still a small half of his first slice of fish, and Anthony had already eaten the second slice.
"You haven't said it yet~ This Alan. What the hell is Lucas? ”
"Better than you!"
Anthony looked at him innocently. is obviously a big man, but he wants to make this kind of wet eyes, which makes him feel the urge to poke himself in the eyes.
"Alright, go home and make this expression for your Alice, don't pollute my eyes." Nicholas moved away from him angrily, his gloomy face showing helplessness, "This Alan. Lucas was tougher than I thought. ”
"Although food is related to the heritage of civilization, in the final analysis, it is just a kind of enjoyment of life. In doing so, this viscount not only showed his own civilization, but also did not divulge the slightest really useful information, and it was more difficult than we expected to dig out the information we wanted from him. ”
Now that Nicholas has opened his mouth, he simply made it clear. lest Anthony not understand and pester him to ask.
"Alas~ I thought he was really a young master who didn't know anything~" Anthony pouted regretfully.
Nicholas didn't bother to pay attention to him. Continue to start eating fish fillets.
"Would you like to send someone to try him?"
"Whatever you want."
……
Rayong took out the Kamon fish meat that he shared. It was quickly eaten, and the palace attendants removed the central table, and then placed the Marfa Empire's own delicacies on both sides of the banquet hall.
Melodious music sounded, and the music master invited by the emperor played a cheerful banquet dance, marking the real beginning of the banquet.
Rayong knew that the real test was coming.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for an older minister to lean over with a wine glass. Look at this person's demeanor and demeanor, there is almost no evil spirit on his body, and he should be a civilian.
The people around him who were originally complimenting him, when they saw this person appear, they unconsciously gave way to it, and it seemed that the status of the person who came was not low.
"Lord Lucas, the old man is Andy, a diplomat of Marfa, and he also had the privilege of visiting the Zara Empire once. Now that I see you, I can't help but want to come and talk. ”
Andy said it politely, and Rayong naturally couldn't refuse. I had to bow my head and signal. I just hope that this Andy doesn't say anything too strange about it, in case he can't answer it, it will be troublesome.
"I remember that time. My grandfather took me to the Phantom Star Sea, which is said to be one of the three wonders of the Zheluo Empire. I don't know if the winter of the Phantom Star Sea is still so magnificent......"
Andy said, sighing, as if regretting that he couldn't go again.
However, hearing what he said, Rayong was stunned.
The Shunlong is an airship specializing in tourism, and it will naturally not be without records of the three wonders of the Zheluo Empire.
In the Phantasmal Star Sea in the information of the Shunlong, most of the entire planet is covered by water. Every night, in the water, the jellyfish that can emit light float to the water, and rise and fall with the current, like stars falling into the sea, and the twinkling stars in the sky reflect each other, it is really a fantastic and magnificent spectacle.
However, as far as he knew, the temperature in the Phantasmal Star Sea was stable, and it had always been warm as spring, only the dry season and the rainy season, and there was no winter at all.
When Andy said this, was he deliberately testing himself? Could it be that he was suspicious of his identity?
Rayong frowned slightly.
When the people around heard Andy's words, they didn't react at first. Xu is Luo Yong's expression was so strange that they couldn't help but be surprised.
"What's wrong? My lord? Andy asked with a look of concern when he saw Rayong's expression.
Luo Yong frowned and looked at him, and said slowly: "There is no winter in the Phantom Star Sea. ”
"Oh~ really?" Seeing this, Andy's expression paused, and then he patted his forehead and said with a smile, "Maybe I remembered wrong." Alas~ I'm older, and my memory is just not as good as before. ”
After saying that, Andy subconsciously took a sip of wine, exchanged a few words of greeting again, and turned to leave.
Rayong paid attention to his expression the whole time, but he was still unsure whether Andy was really misremembering or deliberately pretending to be misremembered.
Therefore, dealing with these older people is troublesome, and their acting skills have long been perfected, even if he is alert, it is difficult to really find out the flaws.
However, Andy's question seemed to open a gate, and then the people who gathered around him no longer simply complimented him, but began to ask some various questions.
"Lord Lucas, what does the teleportation array look like?"
"Lord Lucas, I heard that people with strength above level 3 can cross the starry sky, is it true?"
"Lord Lucas, I heard that the Zheluo Empire is about to be promoted to a fifth-level civilization, is it true?"
"Lord Lucas, I heard that mid-level civilizations have personal storage equipment, do you have one on you?"
"Lord Lucas, how long are you going to stay in Marfa this time?"
……
Looking at a pair of eyes eager to learn, Rayong answered patiently at first, and only avoided answering when it was really difficult to answer.
However, as more and more people asked, Rayong finally got impatient and managed to push back to the lounge. There was no way, he couldn't answer many questions himself, such as the personal storage equipment that should have been, he didn't have it.
In the lounge, the emperor was leisurely sipping wine, his bright red clothes falling casually on the carpet. I saw Rayong coming up. He couldn't help but smile: "Your Excellency's patience is even better than I imagined. ”
"Your Majesty laughed."
The emperor didn't know how long he had been watching the joke. Rayong didn't bother to whitewash it. I sat down and rested on my own. Although this emperor is also an old fox, the group of people below seem to be just pure curiosity, but from time to time there will be a trap hidden in the problem, and there are too many people, so you can't be careful.
For Rayong, instead of going down to face the overzealous ministers, it would be better to deal with the old fox here. It just so happened that he had something to say as well.
"Are you satisfied with the Golden Dome Star? If there is something bad about it, there are other palaces to choose from. ”
Compared to the ministers below. The emperor's attitude was relatively casual, and his speech was more atmospheric, but Luo Yong did not dare to relax, and he was not ready to receive this kindness, and immediately said that he lived okay, and there was no need to change it.
After this, Rayong mentioned another matter: "I came to the Marfa Empire for the first time in the next year, and I was about to go out to see the customs of the Marfa Empire, I wonder if Your Majesty has any good suggestions?" ”
"Your Excellency, you're asking the wrong person, forget it. I haven't been out in decades. If you do not give up, I will let my two sons accompany me. You can go wherever you want. I'll have the finance department ready for the expenses. ”
The emperor's words were casual, but he just pinched Luo Yong's intentions. When Luo Yong said this, he wanted to get some currency that could be used in the Marfa Empire, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the emperor helped solve it, but Luo Yong didn't know what to say.
He raised his eyebrows, glanced at the emperor again, and saw that he still didn't care, and couldn't help but wonder a little in his heart, but he still thanked him: "In this way, I will thank Your Majesty." ”
The two exchanged a few more polite words, and the depression in Luo Yong's heart deepened.
This emperor entertained himself with such fanfare, with an attitude that he could casually mention any request, but he behaved extremely frankly and casually, and even the issue of raising the level of civilization that those people outside were concerned about did not mention a word, as if he didn't care at all.
But Luo Yong knew very well in his heart that as an emperor, he must have a purpose in doing this. This kind of treatment can't always be because it's pleasing to the eye.
I always feel that there is a pit waiting for me in front of me, and this feeling is really not good.
But now that Rayong is on the line, he has to send it, so he can only improvise at that time.
sighed silently in his heart, and sighed that the other party's number of paragraphs was too high, so Luo Yong retracted his thoughts and seriously talked to the emperor.
He has been imitating the behavior of the aristocracy these days, and he has the ancestors in the inheritance of the "Faun Shen Jue" as a reference, and his words and deeds now, based on his demeanor alone, are no worse than the emperor in front of him, and the only thing that is worse is experience.
……
The sky was faintly bright, the grass and trees on the Golden Peak Star had just stretched out their branches and leaves, the mellow dew drops were still hanging on the tips of the leaves, and an ordinary black business airship stopped on the lawn of the Golden Peak Star.
Gary took the Chancellor of the Exchequer and came to the castle of the Golden Dome Star.
This time, Gary finally persuaded the royal brother and gave him the task, just so that he could have more contact with his idol.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer, on the other hand, was somewhat reluctant.
Yesterday, the emperor specifically instructed him to give this Lord Lucas a Qilin Red Flame Card. However, the Qilin Red Flame Card, which is the emperor's exclusive card, is the only card in the empire that is anonymous and has no limit! It can be said that as long as it is bought with this card, no matter what it is, the Imperial Treasury will pay for it unconditionally.
Such a card, he usually can't even see it, but now he wants to give it to an outsider, and the depression in his heart can be imagined.
It's a pity that no matter how bold he was by the emperor's order, he didn't dare to say anything. And this Lord Lucas, who is a middle-level civilized nobleman, also does not dare to offend, so he can only sulk alone.
As soon as the two of them and their subordinates arrived at the door, the door of the castle opened.
He Qixun, dressed in a straight uniform, stood at the door in high spirits, saluted the two of them, and said, "The master's cultivation is not over yet, please go in and have a cup of tea first." ”
