Chapter 316: Caesar's Messenger (II)
Bumper bumper
As soon as Qingfeng left this week, the door of his office was smashed, and before Su Yang could respond, a childish shout came from outside the door: "Grandpa, it's time to tell the story, Zhou Zhou has come to listen to the story." ”
Yes, it seems that I can't run away today, Su Yang thought.
Bang
The door of the office was directly kicked open by Xiao Zhou's feet, God knows where her little Lori got so much strength.
As soon as he entered the office, Zhou Zhou first tilted his little head and looked around for a while, and when he saw Su Yang sitting on the chair, he said: "Huh, what about grandpa? Well, you are Brother Su Yang! Great, you are back, Zhou Zhou doesn't have to listen to those super super super boring stories told by grandpa." ”
"Uh...... Xiao Zhouzhou hasn't seen you for a long time, you've grown taller. Su Yang said with a smile.
For children like Xiao Zhouzhou, Su Yang is born with no immunity, not that he is Lolita or anything, but Su Yang has always preferred to play with children. In his opinion, children are simple and coaxing, compared with those adults who are intriguing all day long, it is more comfortable to stay with children.
"No, Brother Su Yang lied, Zhou Zhou only measured his height yesterday, obviously he only grew one centimeter taller, and there is no change at all, okay?" said Xiao Zhou Zhou with a puffed mouth and dissatisfaction.
"Okay, okay, it's me who is wrong, I'm wrong, I admit punishment, just punish me for telling stories to Zhou Zhou. Su Yang said with a smile.
Zhou Zhou's eyes lit up when he heard this, and after giving Su Yang a similar look, he quickly walked into the lounge in the office, took out a small stool and a lot of snacks from it, and then sat quietly in front of Su Yang, posing as if listening to a story.
"Okay, today let's tell a story about a monkey making trouble in the sky, saying that a long, long time ago, there was a piece of land called Dongsheng Shenzhou......"
......
At the same time, inside the Blazing Palace.
Lance III walked anxiously around the inner sanctum, and the reason for his anxiety was naturally the envoy suddenly sent by Caesar's Empire this time.
To be honest, although there is no conflict between Caesar and Blazing, the friendship between them is not very deep. Lance III didn't have anything else to worry about now, the only thing he was worried about was that Caesar's Empire invited him to join him in attacking the Orcs.
Especially after just experiencing a big war with the Orcs and the rebellion of Zuo Xiangdesk, Lance III is more afraid of other empires to mention some things about sending troops, not that Lance III is timid, but that the current Blazing Empire needs more recuperation. The impact of the rebellion launched by Deske on the entire Blazing Empire was far more than just the calm of the Celestial Fire Capital, but spread to the entire Blazing Empire, and during this time, just to appease some of Desk's old tribes was enough for Lance III to have a headache.
What's more, this joint dispatch of troops sounds good, but its deeper meaning is to test the national strength of the Blazing Empire after experiencing these turmoil, if the national strength declines sharply, then the final target of this dispatch is not necessarily the orcs.
Although the five empires have been living in peace for almost a hundred years on the surface, the interest of the emperors of each empire in annexing the territories of other empires and completely dominating the continent of Arad has not faded with the passage of time, but has become more and more intense.
This is especially true for the emperor of Caesar's Empire, who is known as an overlord who can be compared to the generation/founding monarch of Caesar's Empire. It's not that Lance III is arrogant, and Lance III also thinks that he has some means to be the king, but when it comes to the ambition to dominate the continent, Lance III is indeed inferior to Caesar's emperor.
Now, shortly after the orcs invaded his empire, the emperor had sent an envoy to his country, and Lance III did not think that this envoy would be a simple exchange visit, as the letter suggests.
"If it's really just an exchange of interviews, why send your most beloved daughter. Lance III muttered to himself.
"Inform Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness Isabella, the Third Empress of the Caesar Empire, and her escort have arrived outside the palace. A chamberlain suddenly walked in and said.
"I know, let's go down first, and entertain Her Royal Highness well. Lance III waved his hand, and then summoned the palace maid to help him change his clothes, seeing that the foreign envoy could not show weakness in this dress in the first place.
......
"Barn, is this the Blazing Empire on the same continent as our Caesar Empire? Sure enough, the richness of this fire element alone doesn't know how many fire powerhouses can be created. By the way, Barn, are there any famous Saint-rank powerhouses in this Heavenly Fire Capital?" asked a graceful and luxurious woman to one of the guards beside her.
"According to the information gathered by the Imperial Intelligence Department, the strongest person on the surface of the Heavenly Fire Capital is currently the dean of the Blazing Royal Demon Martial Academy, Lord Zhou Qingfeng, the Great Demon Master of the Fire Department. The bodyguard, known as Barn, replied solemnly.
If Su Yang was here, it would not be difficult to find out that this Bahn was the disciple accepted by Uncle Linus, the blacksmith, when he returned to Saan Village a year ago, from the heir of the Bashut family, Bahn Bashut.
Although it is not clear how Bahn became the escort of Her Royal Highness the Queen, the head of the envoy group this time, one thing can be clearly known, Bahn has definitely worked very hard in the past year, at least in terms of cultivation, because at this time, Bahn's strength has reached the fifth order level.
"Is it only a sixth-order Grand Magus, it seems that in terms of the strong, the Blazing Empire is still not as good as our Caesar Empire. Isabella muttered to herself.
"Your Royal Highness, speak carefully. ”
At this time, another woman with long silver hair and wearing a Caesar's imperial officer uniform stepped forward and reminded in a low voice.
What is particularly noticeable is that the silver-haired woman's eyes are blood-red, and there is a mysterious mark on her forehead that is hidden by her hair.
"Cyrus, I see, thank you so much. Isabella said.
"This is what subordinates should do, Her Royal Highness. The silver-haired woman saluted, then turned and walked back into the line.
Isabella could only shake her head silently about her childhood friend and guard, in her opinion, Cyrus was good at everything, but she was a little too fond of making a fuss, especially when it came to her safety.
At this time, an attendant came over and saluted, "Your Royal Highness, Your Majesty is invited." ”
"Well, Barn, Sellers, let's go inside. ”
Barn and Cyrus nodded at the same time.
The three of them followed the chamberlain towards the main hall.
At the same time, inside the Blazing Palace.
Lance III sat quietly on the dragon chair wearing a glorious and luxurious imperial robe, with a flat smile on his face, and the Grand Magister Zhou Qingfeng had also come to the palace from the path outside the palace, and was standing beside Lance III at this moment.
After a while, the chamberlain slowly walked in from outside the main hall with two women and a man.
"In the Caesar Empire, Isabella Catlyn Hainrich de los, the Third Princess, pays a visit to Her Majesty Reims, wishing Your Majesty good health and long-term peace and stability in the Empire. Isabella said after a standard aristocratic salute.
"The princess, please get up. ”
Lance III sat on the dragon chair and naturally held his hands on the ground, and then began to observe the three representatives of the Caesar Empire this time.
This first is naturally the third princess Isabella, who is known as the most favored royal daughter of the Caesar Empire, it is said that the founding emperor of the Caesar Empire has some kind of blood connection with the royal family of the Delos Empire that previously dominated the continent, so the names of the royal family members of the past generations will be followed by a Delos surname, and the Caesar royal family is also known as the Delos family.
And the Delos Empire is a country that was destroyed because of the revenge of the ghost god Kazan, so the kings of the Caesar royal family, who inherited the domineering and ambitious elements of Delos's bloodline, all took re-domination of the Arad continent as their lifelong goal.
As for the two guard-like people standing next to Princess Isabella, Lance III also knew a little bit about it, one was the only son of the Grand Duke of Basiut in the Caesar Empire, Barn Basiut. It is said that this Barn Bashuut is a disciple of the Iron Sword Venerable Linus, and he has already had the strength of the fifth-order primary level after only one year of apprenticeship, especially the one-handed swordsmanship is even more superb, and he is known as a master of swordsmanship among the younger generation of the Caesar Empire.
The other silver-haired woman with red eyes and murderous aura was the personal bodyguard of the royal daughter Isabella, the female swordsman Cyrus Elgot, who had the title of hound. It is said that this Sellers was born into a family of Caesar Empire army cadres, but her father was killed by anti-Caesar Empire forces when she was very young. Then Sellers's profile was blank for three years, and when she reappeared three years later, her strength had already crushed her peers. It was for this reason that the current emperor of Caesar's empire, Leon III, appointed her as the bodyguard of his favorite daughter Isabella.
"I don't know if the princess has come to my Blazing Empire this time, but what important things do you have to discuss?"
Isabella had a bold temperament, and seeing that Lance III had already taken the initiative to ask, she nodded and said, "However, Your Majesty Lance, Isabella has two missions in coming this time. ”
"Oh, please explain to the princess. ”
"First, Isabella was ordered by her father to come to your country to seek unity, hoping that your country would send troops together with our country to destroy a mysterious organization that disturbed the continent, the Violent Search and Capture Group. Isabella paused and continued, "Second, at the request of the Magic Guild Salan Fa Sheng, I invite all the young people of the younger generation of your country who have reached the fifth rank or above to go to the Caesar Empire in ten months to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony of Princess Lilith, a personal disciple of the Shalan Fa Sheng. ”
"I see, the widow understands that the widow will announce this invitation to the whole nation of the Holy Lord Sharanfa. As for the first joint dispatch of troops, the stakes are very high, and the widow still needs to discuss it with the generals of the empire, so I can't give you an answer to Isabella for the time being. Lance III mused.
"No problem, I have plenty of time to wait for His Majesty's reply. By the way, Your Majesty, Isabella has a reluctant request. ”
Although the princess said that as long as it is within the power of the widow, there is no refusal. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Isabella has heard about the Royal Demon Martial Academy of your country for a long time in Caesar, so I want to take this opportunity to visit the Royal Demon Martial Academy, I wonder if Your Majesty can agree to Isabella's little request?" Isabella said slowly.
"No problem, this is Lord Zhou Qingfeng, the Great Demon Master of the Fire Department of the Academy of Deans, if the princess wants to visit, she can go directly with Lord Zhou Qingfeng. Lance III readily agreed.
