Chapter 287, Dialogue with the King
Louis was very calm and did not seem to panic at all. His eyes seemed to be closed, his face still had a dignified and noble expression, he opened his mouth slightly, and said softly: "This friend, you should have come to me when I said the fifth article of aristocratic behavior, right?" ”
"Oh? Do you feel it? ”
"How many people do you think your Bronnian optical camouflage can fool?" Louis said with a smile still on his face.
"Looks like you're confident!"
"Looks like you're not here to kill me."
"Kill you? Why? You're just ......," Li De didn't continue. He had seen that Louis XVI's hand was trembling slightly as he grasped the golden armrest.
"What are you here for?"
"Give you a chance."
"What chance?"
"Give you a chance to regain control of the planet Ados."
"You can really blow it! But this kind of character is not bad. ”
"You accepted it?"
"The third room on the left. Your optical camouflage shouldn't last long, right? There are more than two hours left in this ceremony! ”
Li De didn't speak, and retreated quietly, not even the soft Astig cashmere blanket under his feet did not change at all.
Louis XVI sat slightly upright, with a playful smile on his lips.
After two hours of elaborate ceremonies, Emperor Louis XVI arrived in his exclusive lounge. The only thing that accompanied him was a personal attendant, dressed in a black royal dress, standing beside the emperor like a sculpture.
Li De and Dardanelle knelt respectfully on the ground, the optical camouflage combat uniform was not taken off, but the helmet had been removed.
"Let's get even!" Louis XVI said in a gentle tone. Although his tone was calm, it revealed the unshakable feeling of an emperor.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, it is the honor of my life to meet you!" Dardanelle stood up and still maintained a ninety-degree bow, and said in an excited voice.
"Thank you!" Louis XVI gave Dardanelle another warm smile and said, "You have come to me." What's the matter? ”
Li De said straightforwardly: "I don't know if Your Majesty has any impression of the Countess of Winchester?" ”
"It was a very beautiful woman, she was only sixteen when she married Winchester. It's a pity that the Earl of Winchester died ten years ago, and she is a famous lady in the aristocratic circle. What's the matter, she asked you to come? ”
"You really only know that?" Li De's eyes were meaningful when he looked at Louis XVI, his soul reading had been activated, and he also knew that Louis XVI was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
"Of course, there are some other things." Louis spoke tactfully, reluctant to reveal more.
Li De said: "I hope that His Majesty the Emperor can believe in us, and we will do our best to repay His Majesty the Emperor." ”
"What do you mean by that? We, the Ados Star Royal Family, have always been selfless as 'one for all, all for one'. ”
"So His Majesty the Emperor really doesn't know about the 'Shadow' organization?" Li De asked softly.
As you can see, the guard seemed to tremble. But it was stabilized by Louie.
"How much do you know? What exactly are you here for? Louis still looks noble and steady.
"We are cosmic mercenaries, commissioned by the Poolo, to find someone here. We now suspect that the man is the real man behind the Shadow Order. Li De said simply. He did not explain to Li De his complicated relationship with Purdo, and only used a simple employment relationship to cover it up.
"So, Puldo is also interested in our planet?"
"If that's really the case, His Majesty will see the fleet of Pullos, not an alien mercenary."
"You're very bold and very good at talking. But how can I trust you? ”
Instead of answering Louis XVI's question, Lide asked, "The existence of that shadow organization." I'm sure His Majesty the Emperor must know. But why would it be allowed to exist? ”
Louis XVI was silent for a moment, then laughed. Heroic laughter filled the lounge.
"Good! It's three hours before the ceremony is over, and I'm going to do it even if I don't like it. You're waiting for me here for three hours. With that, Louis XVI turned and walked out of the lounge.
Watching Louis XVI leave, Li De sighed deeply. Before. Goth and he have both made a lot of guesses, and the conversation just now from Louis seems simple, but in fact, it is said after the two of them have thought it through.
As a cosmic powerhouse who once controlled a planet, Goth's psychological grasp of those in power is still very subtle.
Louis XVI wanted to do something. Then he must look for some opportunities that can be exploited in the current political system. But how can the character of the Ados star people be so righteous and fair, how can they have such an opportunity?
Perhaps it was not Louis XVI behind the shadow organization, but he watched the organization grow little by little.
I want to destroy the towering tree for a moment. It doesn't necessarily need to be a sentence or an axe, sometimes a small moth is enough.
The three-hour waiting time, Li De and Dardanelle spent it out of cultivation. He needs to seize every minute to improve his game.
Three hours later, the setting sun was already shining on the royal palace of Ados, dyeing the white brick walls a dazzling gold.
Li De recovered from meditation. He could now feel more golden light passing through his cells, and he could feel every cell in his body slowly turning golden yellow.
He didn't know how long the process would take, or what exactly it would be good for. But since he has such ability, Li De will stick to it.
A servant in a gray dress opened the door, bowed and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor invites you two to dine in the side hall." ”
Without saying a word, Li De and Dardanelle followed the servant out of the lounge.
There are three side halls in the palace, one of which is a place for dinners, one is a place for balls, and the other is a place for His Majesty the Emperor to handle government affairs.
Of course, there is no government to deal with now. But the form was retained.
The servant led them to the side hall where the dinner was set up, and in the small dining room on the second floor, a table fifteen meters long, Louis XVI sat on the throne.
On the table are traditional Ados silverware and gold-trimmed dishes. More than a dozen decorative silver candlesticks are lit with candles, an ancient tool for lighting. Maybe it's really only the royal palace nobles who use this kind of antique to decorate now.
"I admire you!" As soon as Louis spoke, he said, "Although you don't give me a good feeling, and your strength is not strong enough. But you're smart. ”
Louis made a gesture to sit in his seat close to him.
Li De knew that the royal family still had to talk about a lot of rules, so he tried his best to make a respectful gesture and came to Louis XVI and sat down.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, it is our honor to be able to cooperate with you."
A servant brought a delicate plate with a plate of greens on top.
"Please have an appetizer first, we have a night to talk to."
Li De did not hesitate to stuff a piece into his mouth.
Poisonous? Joke! If Louie wanted to kill him, it would be too simple to be complicated enough to use poison.
"His Majesty the Emperor's intentions are good, and I also know that I should show you our sincerity." Li De knew that it was time to stimulate Louie.
Li De put down the cutlery in his hand, took out a virtual screen generator and put it on the table.
A waiter stepped up, turned on the virtual screen, and carefully placed it in front of Louis.
On the screen is a video of them fighting the Zerg.
Louis looked at the video, his originally indifferent expression began to change, his brows furrowed, and his eyes became nervous.
"Where is this? It can't be on our planet Ados, right? Louis XVI asked.
"It's closer than you think, just outside the capital."
Louie's face turned pale.
A plate of delicate baked snails was placed in front of Louis and Leed, neither of whom touched the utensils.
The atmosphere stiffened for a while, and Louis said, "Let's talk to me carefully." What do I get and what do I need to do? ”
"The parliament and the legislature will be dissolved, if only you can help us investigate that woman." (To be continued......)
