Chapter 391: On the Road (Part I)

Busy days have always passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the eve of the exchange conference, during which people from all walks of life were constantly pouring into the royal capital of Nikko City.

One of the most eye-catching teams was now slowly moving forward on the road fifty or sixty miles outside the city, and it didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.

The procession was huge, with a contrasting mix of luxurious carriages and guards in military uniforms and armor, making it look awkward for no reason.

The country to which it belongs can be distinguished by the uniform of the army, and this country must have been remembered and hated by any citizen of Aishin.

That's right! It was the delegation of the Empire of Maienc, the most hated and vicious neighbor to the west, and the owners of the convoy did not care if they were welcomed here, and unbridled laughter was heard from the most central luxury carriage.

"Hahahaha, you saw the expression of the last city lord, you just want to eat!"

Sitting on the ornate and soft couch was a rugged-looking man, dressed in disheveled aristocratic costumes, with his shirt open to reveal his overgrown chest and abdomen, and with the insolent laughter, there was a sense of dissolute déjà vu.

And the old man next to him was not so relaxed, and his voice was also very serious:

"Your Highness, please forgive the old minister for not seeing anything ridiculous about this!"

The person referred to in the words turned out to be the legendary Grand Prince of the Mainke Empire, Rorien Wynne, and he himself was naturally one of the main leaders of the delegation, the president of the Royal Alchemy Academy and the president of the Imperial Alchemy Guild, Schubert.

"Schubert doesn't have to be so serious, this time I'm already sure I've won this time, why don't we relax and enjoy the happy performance brought to us by these weak countries!"

Rorien was still acting wild.

"Your Highness, please pay attention to your words and deeds, if you are still so open-mouthed in public, I am afraid it will cause dissatisfaction!"

"Hehe, I'm afraid I can't do anything about it, can't I? I can't change the fact that Mainke is powerful, so I can't stop the humble jealousy and gratuitous anger of other people, so I can only let them perform to their heart's content!"

"Your Highness, I want to remind you that even Your Majesty is not sure that he will be enemies of all countries at the same time, and if he knows that you have made countless enemies outside, it is hard to guarantee that he will not show his anger!"

Moving out of the country and coming to the town immediately made the eldest prince's face a little embarrassed, and at this time, there was another middle-aged man dressed as an official in the carriage, who had been serving the eldest prince with a flattering expression, and immediately made an anxious look and retorted when he saw this:

"Lord Schubert's words are wrong, His Royal Highness the Grand Prince has always been brave and good at fighting, not afraid of strong enemies, quite like His Majesty's style when he fought for the country, His Royal Highness is showing a strong and inviolable national status for my Mainke Empire, how can Your Majesty be angry with Your Highness? Not to mention anything else, this time it should have been accompanied by the three princes, but in the end His Royal Highness was sent without explaining the problem!

Presumably, this is also what His Majesty meant, that is, to warn us that we must not weaken the name of the empire this time, and show these flashy countries the strength of the Mainke Empire! Besides, why should those weak countries care if they have opinions, as long as the iron cavalry of our empire is dispatched, they can immediately shut their mouths.

Besides, as the dean of the Royal Alchemy Academy and the president of the guild, you only think about hiding and showing weakness, I'm afraid this is not appropriate, I heard that alchemy should be the most aggressive, how come I can't see any trace of sharpness from you!"

Schubert's forehead was bruised, obviously very angry, but his good self-cultivation prevented him from answering in an abusive tone, and just said coldly:

"Rasti, do you dare to discuss state affairs even as a mere butler of the prince's mansion? put away your ignorance and impetuousness, just be your courtier in His Highness's mansion, and don't expect others to tolerate your ignorance!"

The words are very sharp, but who knows that the other party is not to be outdone:

"Compared with adults, I am a relatively humble status, but don't forget that I am also a member of the Council of Ministers, and I am also qualified to express my views on state affairs.

I do not have your erudition, nor the bravery of Your Highness!, but I also know that I am determined to follow the king and the Lord faithfully, and my emperor was determined to unify the continent in his early years, so that the blessings of Mainke could spread to every corner of the world.

Every citizen of our country was impressed by this ambition and swore to follow the Lord and do everything in his power in the hope that in his lifetime he would see the empire unify the continent.

If you are still holding such old views and negative cowering thoughts, how can you help the Empire and Your Majesty, I think you should reflect on it, otherwise......

How could an unknown free alchemist break his face in public, offer a clever plan when your entire guild has made no progress, and be accepted as a staff member by His Majesty, you still have to think about how to supervise your subordinates!"

"Bold! You lowly servant still dare to speak your tongue! Sear's crazy thoughts against human ethics and etiquette have deceived Your Majesty, and as a result, you have led to the rout of the eastern frontier, and you dare to mention his affairs.

Now that this madman has been condemned, and he can only do hard labor in the mines for the rest of his life, what do you admire him so much, could it be that Coconut Fragrance went there to be his companion?

The elegant old man's anger was equally terrifying, and a flamboyant steward naturally couldn't bear it, and his voice had become trembling: "You...... You can't do that!"

"Okay, okay, it's all for the prosperity of the empire, and although Rasti offended you, he probably didn't mean it......

You stupid pig, don't hurry up and ask Schubert for your guilt, and if you can't get his forgiveness, I'll punish you personally!"

Rorien came forward to play a round at this time, and it could be seen that although he was standing on Schubert's position in words, he actually had a very obvious intention to defend his housekeeper.

Lastie, of course, understood, so he knelt down and made amends.

Seeing this, Schubert's expression changed between yin and yang several times, but finally decided to give Roren this face, and immediately got up to leave.

"Your Highness pleads, I won't bother with this lowly person! But please be clear, your Highness, this meeting is very important, and I don't want to be distracted by such a boring thing in the future. It is not far from the royal city of Ai Xin, I hope that His Royal Highness will think about the overall situation and restrain his words and deeds, and the old minister's words are all here!"

After speaking, he pulled the knot on the side of the driver's position, signaled to stop, and then left the car directly.
