Chapter 62: Talking
"I have received your call, young Ruler of Light. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
Doug took Gregory's courtesy very calmly. How can you say that he is now also an existence at the same level as Sanin: "I don't know what difficulties you encountered?"
Gregory didn't speak, his childish eyes quickly glancing at the source body standing beside him, his gaze inquiring.
"This is the 'source'. β
Doug raised his hand slightly: "He is my brightest student and my outstanding assistant. β
A pleased smile appeared on Tutang Carmen's old face, and the source body immediately bent down and saluted, his movements were elegant and smooth, and in the eyes of others, he always felt an indescribable taste.
'Men noble'!?
Unlike Doug, who was born in the lower class, Gregory, who had been systematically educated since birth, almost immediately sensed the difference of this student called 'Source', and was slightly startled in his heart - the elegance and reserve hidden in his gestures immediately reminded him of the special group known as the 'nobles of magicians': the Manna nobles.
The so-called 'Men nobles' are said to be a special family that has existed since the war of the gods, they claim to be the descendants of the gods, and they only intermarry within the group to ensure the purity of the bloodline, and their magical talent is indeed quite amazing, almost everyone can easily become a high-ranking archmage, but the most impressive thing is that they are still strictly teaching the ancient etiquette, and the elegant and noble atmosphere between their gestures comes to their faces, just like the 'source' in front of them.
What does it mean to be able to make the extremely xenophobic Manna aristocracy a student?
Gregory smiled in return, and involuntarily clenched his fingers tighter - meaning that Tutang Carmen was stronger than the vast majority of the Manna nobles, if not one of the Manna nobles!
Countless thoughts rushed to him, and Gregory couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Here, the 'powerful' Tutang Carmen frowned impatiently as he looked at the sinister little child's suddenly stunned face. He didn't know that the young man in front of him was stepping into a misunderstanding - Linax, who had been abandoned since childhood, had a bad background, and in order not to embarrass Lorna Saides, he had studied a lot of etiquette with the same strength as learning magic, and when he was making the source body, these data were all entered into his system as a data ancient brain, so there was such a special product that could show a noble posture with every gesture.
"Ruler of the Light,"
The frowning Doug finally broke the strange atmosphere in the room with a voice, and turned his serious face towards Gregory: "Do you need my old bones to serve?"
The old man's voice came into his ears, and Gregory immediately woke up, and respectfully bent down again, taking the opportunity to adjust the expression on his face: "Yes, Master Tutang Carmen, I do have some things that I can't solve, and I hope to get your advice. β
Since he's already been found, it's too late to change it, so it's better to follow the original plan.
"The light of Sanin shines on all things, and all difficulties will be driven out like night. β
Naturally, Doug blurted out, and the expression on Tutang Carmen's old face was firm and sincere. Having studied a number of books on religion, he is now more comfortable in this role: "However, as followers of Sanin, we should also give everything we have to this...... Say, boy, I'm listening. β
"That's right, Master Tutang Carmen. β
The young man had a worried look on his face, turned around and closed the door gently: "Since the 'assassination' of Emperor Anagu II of the Wright Empire, something has happened at the top of Wright's ruling class. β
He glanced up quickly at Tutang Carmen, whose old face did not change in the slightest.
Many lawmakers thought that the young and promising third prince Thorpmandis was more suitable to take over the position of emperor than the iron-fisted Crown Prince Spodmon, so they introduced a bill...... However, Sopmandis, as if he had fallen into great grief over the death of Anagu II, made an impulsive speech in Parliament, publicly renunciating his right to inheritance......"
It was this Tutang Carmen who proposed to put Sopmandis on the throne in the first place, and things have developed like this, I wonder what he suggested?
Gregory thought to himself, his face perfectly showing an expression of embarrassment, and his childish face wrinkled: "I am too young to be at a loss in the face of such a thing, so I have to invite you - Master Tutang Carmen, please use your wisdom to guide me who is confused and help me make the most correct choice!"
"Don't be confused, child! Sanin will always show us the right way!"
Doug felt that he really had a talent for acting, and many words came out subconsciously, as if he were really Tutang Carmen: "Sanin's love is broad and selfless, and he will never tolerate the oppression of his followers by a brutal 'tyrant'!"
"Please forgive me for my confusion and hesitation......"
As soon as the word 'tyrant' came out, Gregory relaxed a little, and it seemed that Tutang Carmen was determined to put Sopmandis on the throne: "Sopomandis is my subordinate and my friend, but now I am standing in this position, but I am always under the watchful eyes of everyone, and I spend every day busy, and I can't even comfort him-"
"You don't have to blame yourself, kid. β
Doug's tone softened, but the corners of his mouth were secretly curled. The meaning of the little kid's words is that 'my position is too high-profile, and the slightest action will be discovered, and there is no way to make a move': "Growing up is a long process, and until you are strong enough to sustain that huge responsibility, we old guys will not hesitate to dedicate our strength when needed!"
"Master Tutang Carmen......"
Gregory's childish face was only moved: "Thank you very much! I will always remember your help!"
"Beep - After the detection was completed, it was found that there were three cases of high energy reaction, seven cases of ordinary energy reaction, and the overall danger of the environment was high. β
At this time, the source body transmitted the results of a wide range of detection through the communication device in the crown: "This machine advises, keep on guard at all times. β
...... Aren't you talking nonsense?
Doug glanced at the source body beside him. Speaking of the 'Ordinary Energy Response', though, he remembered the goal that had made him come here on the spur of the moment, his former employer, Imperial Speaker Sivol@Kabech.
"Now that something like this has happened on the part of the parliament, I'm afraid I have to put some pressure on them. Doug carefully worded. He is a thug from the street, with basically zero political experience, and no matter how clever his mind is, he can't make up for this gap, so he can only rely on his usual hearsay to say a few vague words: "Maybe I should visit Speaker Kabechi and consult with him properly......
At the hearing of the word 'Speaker', Grigory's thin eyelids jumped imperceptibly, and for a moment countless thoughts passed through his mind, and after a few seconds, he finally decided to introduce Sivol to Tutang Carmen right here - anyway, his inappropriate performance in front of Sivol today had already put him in an embarrassing situation, and the situation could not be worse.
"What a coincidence, Speaker Sivol@Cabechi happens to be here with me right now. β
The young man's face showed a 'really coincidental' look, "Is Master Tutang Carmen going to see him now?"
"Hmm......"
Doug pretended to groan, and showed a look of awareness, as if a politically experienced man had sensed something in his opponent's clues: "Here he is, a Manilaki believer...... What are you doing in the Templar?"
"It seems that I want to make contact with the Council of Elders. β
Gregory replied respectfully.
"Presbyterian?"
Doug was really interested now. When the throne was empty, the Speaker of the Empire came in disguise late at night and asked to see the elders of the Radiant God Sect? I'm afraid anyone who hears it will involuntarily gasp, right? Before the change, as long as he sold this news...... Well, you won't see the sun tomorrow.
Gregory was still standing with his hands down, waiting respectfully for Tutang Carmen to wake up from his contemplation.
"Since he's here...... Then I'm going to meet this famous person. β
Doug feigned a few seconds of silence before speaking.
"Yes, please come with me. β
Gregory acted like a deferential apprentice at this point, straightened the boy's thin body, and turned to walk towards the room where Sivor's was waiting. Doug and the Source Body followed him, silent all the way.
......
......
"Your Excellency, I've kept you waiting. β
When Gregory's childish voice sounded, Sivol@Kabecht was squinting at swollen eyes and didn't know what he was thinking, maybe his bloated figure felt restrained, and the buttons of a civilian outfit that didn't fit very well were unbuttoned, with his oily face and round head, the image was very funny.
However, Doug didn't care about what he was wearing, and the days of being an attendant in the Speaker's Mansion had already made him deeply aware of the terrible things about this man, and he didn't dare to underestimate him at all.
"There, there, I took the liberty of it! Suddenly came and made such an impudent request, haha...... Who is this?"
After a haha, Sivor's gaze fell on Doug's body, and then the swollen eye bubbles slid down uncontrollably, and they were fixed on the gorgeous robe, and the two nostrils on the fat face were propped up, and even Doug, who was far away, felt a breeze.
"This powerful mage is ?......"
He spoke a little faster, but the expression on his face had regained his composure, setting a record for the fastest regain of his sanity after seeing the robe, even faster than Fifian's grandfather, making Doug even more vigilant.
"This is His Excellency Tutang Carmen, a loyal follower of Sanin and a great magician. β
Gregory stepped forward and respectfully introduced the two: "Teacher Tutang Carmen, this is the speaker of the Wright Imperial Council and the most successful merchant in the Wright Empire, Sivol @ Lord Cabech!"
"Haha, it's an honor to meet you, Your Excellency Tutang Carmen!"
The fat on Sivol's fat face trembled, and he smiled and came up to make a big gift that was very inconsistent with his identity: "Even a person like me who doesn't know anything about magic can feel your strength, what kind of 'Speaker' in front of your strength and wisdom makes me ashamed at all, or should I be treated as an ordinary businessman...... Haha, yes, yes, it's a businessman!"
"You are so humble, Lord Cabech. β
Tutang Carmen's old face smiled quietly, "With the joint efforts of you and His Majesty Emperor Anagu II, the Wright Empire is more prosperous and powerful than ever before, and future scholars will definitely write your name into history, and it is really my honor to meet such an eloquent figure as you!"
"Alas, that's all the credit of His Majesty the Emperor, but it's a pity ......"
In the blink of an eye, Sivol changed to a sad expression, and wiped the non-existent tears with the handkerchief that wiped the sweat: "Fate will never allow 'perfection' to exist...... It's sad!"
Grief fart...... I think you are the happiest person after Anagu II died!
The corners of Doug's mouth moved slightly, and he couldn't help but sneer in his heart, of course, he had to say a lot of comforting nonsense on the surface.
"Elder Kabe," Gregory suddenly spoke, "Master Tutang Carmen is a loyal follower of Sanin, with a vast knowledge and a transcendent position in the sect, and in fact even I have to ask for his guidance and obey his commands......"
"Oh?"
Sivol's swollen eyes blinked, and his fat face changed to a polite smile again: "Then I will visit the master often in the future, don't dislike the smell of my gold coins, haha, haha!"
Grigory's childish face remained smiling, but his eyes paused slightly. He had just made it clear that Tutang Carmen's position within the Cult of the Radiant God was above his own, but the fat heretic was unmoved...... What is his purpose?
Doug looked at Sivor's smiling face, but couldn't see anything, and his heart was wary. When it comes to stabbing people in the back, he is definitely the best of the three, but when it comes to playing intriguing political games, he is far from even being able to compare with Gregory - this is all based on the accumulation of experience, not the brain.
However, at a time when the throne is vacant, it is relatively easy to guess the fact that the speaker of the Labor Empire can come in disguise.
"What a humble man Lord Cabech!"
Doug boasted indiscriminately, and decided that it was better to be direct, at least to avoid exposing the shortcomings of his lack of political experience: "By the way, when will the new emperor's enthronement ceremony be held?"
With a casual command, the source body gracefully waved his hand, and a simple and heavy chair moved silently, stopping just right behind Tutang Carmen, allowing him to sit down smoothly
"This ......"
A look of embarrassment appeared on Sivor's face, and he took out a handkerchief to wipe the oil and sweat on his fat face: "The new emperor's succession requires the consent of half of the members of the council, but now, there seem to be some different voices......"
"Oh?"
A surprised expression appeared on Tutang Carmen's old face, "Anagu II is not a young man, and he didn't have an imperial prince?"
"Ah, this, the emperor, His Majesty the former emperor, is busy with the affairs of the empire every day, and it is when he is in the prime of life, so he really does not pay attention to this aspect, but he did not expect it to be ...... all of a sudden Alas,"
Sivor's face was sad again, and the target of the handkerchief was once again eyes.
Hearing his words, Doug's interest was aroused at once - although it is true that Anagu II did not sign the document to crown the crown prince, but the second prince Spodmund has long been recognized as the crown prince, and the three-year-old child of the Wright Empire also knows that the next emperor of the empire is Spodmund - but now Sivor, as the speaker of a country, actually said that 'Anagu II has not officially established a prince', and it seems that he does not support the appearance of the second prince?
"In that case, you in the council will have to work hard......"
Tutang Carmen's slow, old voice echoed through the room, but no one responded, and fell into a brief silence.
"Anagu II was indeed a great monarch,"
After a while, it was Gregory who broke the silence first, and the immature young man's voice was a little low: "Not only in the government, but also in the family...... The story of his love affair with the previous saint was recited by the bards, and the fruit of their love, my friend Sopmandis, was likewise raised to be an outstanding leader and a high prestige among the Templarsβ"
"Not really,"
Sivol picked up the conversation seemingly unconsciously, with a look of embarrassment, "Sopmandis is indeed a fine boy, and when he makes a statement in Parliament, I can hardly resist jumping on him and dragging him down - but Parliament is a sacred place, and I, the Speaker, am the first to defend its sacred duty from being violated, and can only look at him in pain...... Alas!"
He kept shaking his head slightly, his swollen eyelids drooping to cover his eyes, and no one could guess what he really thought: "The law is the law...... Even if I don't want to, I must admit that Prince Sophomandis's statement was passed by parliament and can no longer be changed...... Alas, what a good boy with a lot of feelings!"
With his words, the expression on Gregory's childish face did not change, but his face turned slightly pale uncontrollably, and Doug slowly sat up straight, his eyes flashing with a cold light.
It's not the second, it's not the third-Sivol @ Cabech, it turns out that he wants to put the emperor's eldest son, Resser, the waste 'artist' who is obsessed with painting oil every day, to the throne of the Wright Empire?!
