Chapter 17 The boy who is popular with girls is the most annoying
Early the next morning, Jacqueline's maidens were gathered together by Vicari because they needed to meet King Smith as guests. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
It was the first time for Jacqueline to enter a place like the palace, after all, although the Renault family was a nobleman, it was the viscount with the lowest title, according to the most common knighthood law in the Lion Continent, from low to high: son, earl, duke, marquis, king, and then down to the knight class. To put it bluntly, the huge Renault family is a small landowner in the countryside, and it is also a very poor small landowner.
So Jacqueline was the most nervous in the group. Not only must you suppress your curiosity and not look around, lest you be mistaken as a hillbilly, but you must also observe and learn the manners of other girls and walk slowly in the palace.
Although I couldn't take a closer look at the interior of the palace, the overall impression was different from what Jacqueline had thought. According to Jacqueline's vision, the palace was supposed to be a high, white, bright, solemn, and sacred place, decorated with all sorts of fine works of art, and fully armored soldiers standing neatly in the corridors. Of course, these are just the fantasies of young girls, and there is a prince charming at the end.
The palace of the king of the Empire of Endeavor is indeed in line with the spaciousness, whiteness, and brightness of a great power, but it does not have the seriousness and sanctity that it should have. If you look at it from Chu Shou's eyes, this place is similar to the stock exchange in later generations. The people who came and went inside were very hurried, and many of them were able to walk in the right direction while holding a large stack of papers that blocked their view. From time to time, people even ran over and shouted at some people. Although this kind of scene may seem chaotic on the surface, it is actually well-organized and does not interfere with each other.
Since there are no convenient communication tools in this other world, the speed of information transmission is very slow. However, from the processing of documents by these correspondents, it can be seen that the country attaches great importance to the timeliness of information. Timely information can determine the judgment of a governing body and reduce the error of its decisions. And it seems that the information is not handled by the king alone, but by department, which greatly reduces the intensity of the king's work and the efficiency of his office. Bikari couldn't help but admire the reputable king from the bottom of his heart.
Finally, through the long and busy corridors, the group reached their destination, the reception hall of the palace.
Jacqueline noticed that they weren't the only ones in the hall, there were already quite a few people sitting in the hall who looked amazing.
Jacqueline sat down with her teacher and classmates, and then secretly observed the other guests, hoping to find the silver-haired man with the cross scar on his face. It's a pity, not to mention Scar, not even a silver-haired figure.
The girl was slightly disappointed in her heart. At this moment, there was a commotion, and a burly uncle dressed in a gorgeous royal robe who looked eight points similar to Kingkong fled into the reception room in embarrassment.
That bastard monkey uncle, won't he be wheeled? Chu Shou thought viciously. Although Smith's clothes were a little messy, and the crown was crooked to the side, he was a little embarrassed, but it didn't get to the point of being wheeled, saying that he was just Chu Shou's bad idea of being wheeled.
"Haha, well, everyone has arrived!" the king realized that he had become the center of attention, and had to straighten up, then straighten his clothes, and greet them with a cheeky smile.
"The king, there are still these papers to be attended! that's what you've left behind after you've been out for a week!" said an old man with a gray beard and an old age, carrying a large stack of papers, and followed the king here. When he found out that the place where the king had fled was the drawing-room, he could not help but stop shouting and deceive.
"Hahaha, let me introduce you, this is my Prime Minister, Nukes Durban. "The king was caught by the old ministers, and he had to scratch his head and laugh to hide his embarrassment.
However, in the face of such a sudden meeting, many guests couldn't react for a while and were speechless.
"Hmm...... Nukes, you say, seems to be a lot less crowded?" the king frowned, glanced at the invited guests in the living room, and then ran away from the old minister's topic, "It seems that none of the other 'holy hammers' have come?"
Of course, the old minister didn't know the so-called "holy hammer", but in front of so many foreign guests, he was embarrassed to say that the king was not, so he could only respond with silence. The other "hammers" were not there, so Ramil Crowe really didn't come? Jacqueline couldn't help but be even more disappointed when she heard the king's words.
"Hmm...... It's impossible, this kid Ramil must come, others have other things to do, the necromancer that kid is chasing has been killed by that orientalist named Chu Shou, he should have a long vacation for the time being!" The king held his chin with his fist, thought for a moment, and said to himself, "Forget it, that kid is a lone ranger, maybe he will come later!"
These minor disappointments did not disturb the king's interest, and the king then introduced the foreign friends to whom he had been invited.
To Jane's slight surprise, in addition to some ambassadors who came to congratulate these foreign friends, there were also many well-known people, including the great swordsman Fagel, known as the swordless envoy, although he should not be as powerful as the "Holy Hammer", but he was also a well-known master.
"Oh, by the way, excuse me, could I ask you to cut off a piece of your own hair?" said King Smith, his expression turned serious after he finished his introduction, and he made this request to the crowd.
This strange move by the king surprised the guests who came, and there was some discussion at first.
Only Bikari understood the meaning of the king's request: after the school celebration incident, the academy began to study how the primordial beasts knew that Chef was an alien, but it seemed to find that the other primordial beasts were actually insensitive to aliens. Then I thought that the primitive beast had plucked the hair of the alien that day, and researched it, and finally mastered this method of identifying the alien.
Later, the Nazat Academy again allied itself with the Great Holy See, and in order to atone for its sins, it told the Holy See about this solution.
Although it was a bit rude, the king still made such a request to those who entered the palace as a precaution, after all, this method also confirmed its feasibility, and Smith used this method to dig up several aliens in his palace when he returned.
Although the guests did not understand, cutting off a single hair was not a big deal, and since the king had asked for it, it had to be done.
Seeing that there were no monsters among the invited guests, the king breathed a sigh of relief and began to entertain the guests who had come from afar.
When the guests were asked about the candidacy of their sons-in-law, the king was very satisfied. The few people brought back from the Nazat Academy in the second round of selection were very good, and some other countries sent their own princes after learning about the news that the Empire was going to run for a husband, intending to let them participate in this selection of sons. As for some palace nobles in their own country, many of them also forced their sons to run. Despite the unsatisfactory appearance of the princess, there are still many fire-fighting moths due to the temptation of power and wealth. In this way, there were only a few people who were brought back, but the number of people suddenly increased to dozens of people, and it was not too shabby.
Among them, the king is most optimistic about two of them, a mermaid boy named Rui. His charm beyond femininity often attracts the attention of others, and he is also very powerful, and there is a man named Niu Instein, who is a teacher at Nazat Academy, and is also very powerful, at the level of an archmage.
These messages about the people they care about make Jane and Colleen can't help but prick up their ears to listen, hoping to find out the news they care about.
At this moment, there was a loud shout from outside the palace, and it sounded like the shouts of a large group of young girls, but because it was too loud, it actually entered the deep palace.
"That kid is here, Ramil bastard......" The kingdom frowned with some dissatisfaction when he heard the screams of the women, "does he have to use such a sassy way everywhere?
Chu Shou, who was in Jacqueline's breast pocket, could understand the king's feelings, and suddenly felt that he was on the same side as the king - the boy who was popular with girls was the most annoying!
When Jacqueline heard the king say that the person she admired had arrived, her disappointment vanished at once, and her face flushed slightly.
