Chapter 176: Your Majesty's Edict
readx;
As the only remaining bridgehead of the empire in the Far East, the position of the Black Fire Family has always been very embarrassing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
A beetle snake flag accepts the canonization of the golden lion, and the title is still second only to the prince of the duke, which in itself is very inconsistent with the system.
You must know that neither the population nor the size of the territory can reach the level of canonizing a duke, according to the degree of stumbling when Lin Ye first arrived.
This whole thing is no different from the village chief.
Therefore, he has always been very puzzled about the relationship between the beetle snake and the golden lion.
But with the disappearance of the former duke, it becomes a mystery, and he has no way of finding out the inside story.
For a year and a half, he has been busy with the construction of the territory, and he has not taken care of the affairs of the royal capital at all.
Only occasionally can you see the words "transported to the royal capital" on the overseas trade bills of Ababa.
The business of the Black Fire family seems to have reached the royal capital!
"Is the envoy of the royal capital? It seems that the people from the royal capital have not appeared for more than ten years, how can they suddenly visit this time?"
Lin Ye pondered for a moment, trying to think about the envoy's intentions.
After all, he had to be mentally prepared in advance so that he could deal with it calmly.
As the saying goes, if something goes wrong, there must be a demon, and the royal capital, which has not moved for more than ten years, suddenly sent someone.
It was definitely not that the old emperor remembered that there was such a nobleman who belonged to the empire in the Far East, and wanted to talk to him.
It was definitely something big that happened that I came to inform.
Is it because of Yufie's business?
Thinking of this, Lin Ye was a little nervous, Yu Fei was a remnant of the previous dynasty, and only a few people knew about this matter even in the Black Fire Castle.
But when it came to Undercurrent Island, the people of the Bolton family were very clear about this.
The situation was so chaotic that he was not sure if there were any other retainers of the Bolton family who knew about it besides Heisenberg and his son.
Did you succeed in escaping from Undercurrent Island?
If it is they who leak the information to the Empire, and then the Empire sends someone to eliminate the trouble......
A haze cast over his face, if it really was.
Then he'll have to prepare for the worst!
"Let him in. ”
Lin Ye was mentally prepared and motioned to the former apprentice magician, now apprentice affairs officer Lu Te, to let the messenger in.
As a duke, he had a high status and had the privilege of not having to go out of the city to meet the envoys.
This was the first time in his year and a half that he had thought that the title had made a difference.
After all, he had been operating in the remote Far East, far from the center of the empire for too long.
Lute's teacher, Sain, travels far away, leaving her in Aurora as a probationary officer.
Terry, the wandering swordsman, doesn't stay in one place for long, he leaves around the same time as Theon.
Lin Ye did not force them to stay, and they would naturally see each other again.
Under the guidance of Loute, a man dressed in a rich robe, but with a haggard face, not very good-looking, and an even more strange expression.
It's like a living hell messenger walking into the office.
"Is Your Majesty the current head of Blackfire Castle, Duke Link?" the envoy was about fifty years old, with a sparse beard.
Behind him was a knight in somewhat torn armor.
Kate stood behind Lin Ye and looked at each other with some provocative eyes.
Far Easterners have always looked down on these officials who live inland.
Of course, the people of the interior also regarded the Far Easterners as barbarians, and the two were each other.
"This Duke is exact, I don't know who Your Excellency is?" Lin Ye asked knowingly.
However, this is also a normal process, after all, the people of the royal capital have not set foot in this land for more than ten years.
In addition, no one came to inform with a seal letter in advance, and there was no guard of honor.
A few words from the other party alone are not enough to prove their identity.
"The old servant is Wallis, the head of the royal court, who came to deliver the edict on the orders of His Majesty the Emperor. ”
The messenger reported himself to his home and made his intentions known.
Lin Ye was stunned for a moment, the head of the palace?
This is similar to the position of the emperor's personal butler, the status is not high, but the power content is very strong.
And according to the normal procedure, it should not be him who is a member of the court who came to convey the edict.
Even if it were, there was no need to send someone of his stature.
This is so abnormal!
However, he looked pleasant and did not show any hostility.
This made Lin Ye feel a little relieved, at least he could judge that they were not coming for Yu Fei.
"I don't know what evidence your excellency has?" Lin Ye still slowed down.
The every move of the two people in front of him was in his eyes.
Except for Wallis, the knight behind him was a majestic and heroic man, with a high nose and eyes as sharp as an eagle.
Apparently not an ordinary man.
Lin Ye compared him to Lancelot, the deputy commander of the First Army, for no reason.
This knight is a little older, and in comparison, there are some similarities between the two people's eyebrows.
"This is the seal of His Majesty the Emperor. Wallis pulled out a seal.
The little duke's request was reasonable, after all, this was the Far East, not a rich town.
They didn't come on tall horses, with a guard of honor, and with flags.
It is reasonable for the other party to ask to go through these identity verification processes.
"Bring Mr. Moda here. Lin Ye tapped his fingers.
Probationary Officer Lute went to do it immediately.
At this time, Miria came over with a teacup, and Lin Ye beckoned Wallis and the knight behind him to sit down.
Wallis smiled slightly, but just looked at the map in the office with his hands behind his back.
This map is the most recent and shows the entire Far East.
Lin Ye was planning to divide the Far East into administrative divisions.
"The last time the old servant came to the Far East, it was still very barren, backward, full of mud and potholes, I didn't expect that after more than ten years, there would be a town, it felt like a ......"
Wallis pondered his vocabulary, and he was really taken aback by the current development of the Far East.
Not to mention the barren and backward Far East, even those resource-rich regions.
It is not necessarily possible to create a town of this scale in just a dozen years!
Moreover, Wallis, as the head of the court, has excellent knowledge, but there are many things he has never seen here, and it is really an eye-opener.
In particular, the orcs are free to move around the town, and the orc children are running around, and humans can get along with them.
This is simply unthinkable anywhere else!
He bought a few pieces of candy for the orc kids on the way here, intending to ask them something about the little lord here.
In the process of buying sugar, he paid gold coins, but what the other party asked him was the paper that had recently become popular in the aristocratic circles of the royal capital.
On the top of the paper is a drawing of a large snake with flapping wings on one side.
On the other side is a picture of humans and orcs shaking hands in harmony.
Wallis was stunned and didn't know what this meant, until the other party explained to him that this thing was called a banknote, and it could be used to buy things.
He wondered what genius had invented such a thing.
He took the money and bought something else, the grocery store was clearly priced, and he counted it on his fingers for a while, trying to figure out how much it would cost.
As a result, the orc child next to him gave the answer after reading a few words in his mouth.
This surprised Wallis again, the nobles who received elite education in the royal capital could not calculate the answer in such a short time!
How can these orcs be so powerful, and actually have the talent of mathematicians?
Until these orc children told him that this talent was just a ninety-nine multiplication table.
Wallis immediately told the knight who was protecting his safety that a group of geniuses were being mass-produced here.
What an incredible place!
