In the King's Chamber in Lisbon, the chambers of the royal palace have been running non-stop since yesterday. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info At this time, there was an attendant walking briskly in the palace with a few people behind him.

"Your Majesty, Dean Miguel and Mentor Lan Dao have arrived. The squire stood in the doorway, and the king was hovering behind a large pile of papers. "Let them in. ”

"Your Majesty. "Miguel and Randolph were joined by Fario, Bert, and Erin, who were also competing in the Magic Tournament.

"Your Majesty, they are the students who fought with Qiqi, and they just returned to the city last night under the escort of the Praetorian Guard. Miguel gave a salute.

"Hmm...... You are all the elites of the Empire, and it is not easy for you to escape in the face of the Ancient Beasts. I canonize you as the Golden Feather Knight of the Empire today, and tomorrow someone will come to the Academy of Magic to find you. "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long. The three of them knelt on one knee and performed the knightly salute. Although the Imperial Golden Feather Knight is the lowest level of nobility, this is already a level beyond the reach of ordinary people. When knighted, they each received a monthly salary of five gold coins from the Empire.

"You two are not from Osland, are you?" asked the king casually. Bert immediately reacted: "Both Chancellor and Irene are from villages within the scope of the Holy Patriarchate. ”

"Well, the Holy See is the most important ally of our country, and a few days ago the Holy See sent an ambassador to speak to me on behalf of the Pope. They also made a point of emphasizing that because of the previous explosion in the Male Gobi, they sent two paladins and a wood mage deep into the Gobi. Only one paladin returned to the Holy See with his belongings, and the other two have not yet been found. "Sweat began to break down on everyone's foreheads at the mention of the bombing, even though Miguel had told the king about it. But for fear of causing a commotion, the accident was not serious, but that the experiment with new magic caused the magic to get out of control.

Fortunately, the king's focus was not on this: "The ambassador was the paladin who had returned to the Holy See at that time, and he said that they were attacked by desert remnants in the Gobi Desert. ”

"Desert remnants, does that creature really exist?" Not only Lan Dao, but all the mages present had heard of that history, but only by hearing about it.

"I'm afraid it's true, because they also found an artifact. The king continued.

"Artifact?" This caused an even greater commotion, and if the desert remnants were barely able to accept it, the appearance of the artifact was enough to shock the audience.

"The Pope has sent ambassadors to persuade us to stop fighting with Satya for the time being, and to gather our forces to prepare for a crisis that may come at any time. ”

"Then ......," Lan Dao felt his throat dry after hearing this, "The appearance of the artifact and the appearance of Qiqi this time may not be said to be a coincidence." ”

"Do you think there is a connection between the two things? Bashir thinks it's probably the poor Qi summoned by Satya. ”

"Why? What is their purpose? Do they want to get the artifact? But the artifact is not in our possession. Lan Dao was puzzled.

"Probably not, it is inferred that the Poor Fortune was summoned earlier than the Holy Nuncio ambassador arrived in Lisbon, which means that they did not know that the artifact had appeared at that time. ”

"I'm afraid it's for war with us. The three students who had been standing next to him had been listening in silence since just now, and Bert accidentally blurted out what was on his mind.

Seeing everyone staring at him, Bert realized that he had accidentally interjected, and he was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head.

"You guessed it right, Bashir thinks so too. Anyway, their purpose at the time must have been this, but I don't know what they would do if they knew the artifact appeared. Whether it's for the sake of the entire continent to stop the war, or to start a war for the artifact. ”

"Why don't we send someone to negotiate with them?" Lan Dao thought for a moment and made a suggestion.

After thinking about it for a long time, the king decided: "I heard that you saved their demon archer in the battle with Poor Qi, and brought her with you, and then asked the people of the Holy See to accompany you." Who is the envoy...... As for Bert and Eileen, you are not nationals, and the people who saved them should be better talked. ”

"Your Majesty. As soon as Bert heard that he was suddenly going to be sent as an envoy to Satya, he immediately panicked, "How can you do it, please think twice about such an important matter." ”

The king smiled slightly, "Don't be humble, you have a good eye for things." Moreover, the Holy See's ambassador to the two countries this time is also a boy who has just turned twenty, and he has handled things quite properly. He Holy See can have such talents, and I can have Osland too. Although you are from the Holy See, but you are studying at the largest magic academy in our country, I am sure you can. ”

This made Bert helpless, he himself had a few pounds and a few taels he understood very well. He may be a genius of magic, but he doesn't know anything about diplomacy between the two countries. Maybe the diplomatic ambassador of the Holy See was a professional since childhood? There is no comparison, but the king's word is a holy decree, and if you can't do it, you have to do it.

However, when Bert met the ambassador of the Holy See at the gate of the city the next day, he realized that both of them were forced to drive ducks to the shelves, but they were accompanied by a bishop, and they were accompanied by outstanding elites of the Holy See.

From afar, I saw the holy church "Dashi" at the gate of the city (Bert is still very resistant to this identity) is still an acquaintance.

Abby Daishi was commissioned by King Frederick III last night to accompany the Oslan diplomatic mission to Satya, with the intention of salvaging the precarious peace between the two sides. In the early morning, when the sun had just climbed the city walls and shone into the city of Lisbon, the two "big shi" met.

"Bert! Eileen!" Abby, who was sitting on horseback, saw Bert with a disgruntled face and hurriedly greeted them. Bert, who hadn't slept well all night, heard as if death was calling him, and looked up to find Abby shining silver in the sun.

"Tut-tut, the ambassador is better than the ambassador, and the ambassador is angry. "Jingwei is now Bert's pet, staying on his shoulders every day, and likes to nag a few words when he is idle. No, look at the spring breeze on the face of the ambassador of the people, and then look down at the ambassador of his own as if he is going to mourn.

"Abby!" Ignoring Jingwei's words, Bert smiled and waved to Abby, seeing that the person who was traveling with him was actually a former partner, Bert's mood was much better, and there would be more surprises waiting for him in a while. After the three of them met and exchanged pleasantries, and after introducing Edith, everyone slowly set off under the escort of the Imperial soldiers and the troops of the Holy See.

Not long after leaving the city gate, everyone's attention was drawn to the sound of horses' hooves behind them. Who would dare to overtake the Imperial troops on the march? It seems that this horse is not wanted.

When they saw the man's face, they all beckoned the guards around them to let him go, because it was Frank, another companion they had met a year earlier, who had arrived quickly.

"Brother Bert, don't let me know if you're leaving. The boy had obviously just gotten up, and he was complaining.

"We were also given the impromptu task yesterday to escort Miss Edith back to Satya. Bert didn't look like he was coming to see him off.

"Then I'll go with you. Sure enough, Frank grinned and told his plot.

"Don't make trouble, we have serious things to do, not to go to the mountains and rivers. Abby, who had just walked in front, noticed that the group behind her had stopped, so she came back to see what was going on, and he happened to bump into this scene.

"Yo, the great paladin is also there, then I'm going to go even more, you can all go, why can't I go. "Frank and Abby are like Bert and Jingwei, they don't feel comfortable when they meet without a few words.

"Because we represent two countries, what do you represent?" Abby replied unceremoniously.

"I'm going to visit the powerful countries in the continent on behalf of the messenger of justice in the continent of Shusari, can't I?" Abby was not happy when she heard that the thief was also calling herself a messenger of justice, and she quarreled with him at that time.

As a result, because of the quarrel between the two on the marching road, the whole team had to stop, and many pedestrians on the road stood and watched from a distance. If the king knew about it, he would vomit blood in anger, and the capital area had not yet gone out, and the ambassador team would stop and rest, and when they arrived at Satya, it was estimated that they would not have to rush, and the territory of the people had already expanded.

"Abby. Suddenly, an old man's voice came from the ranks, and the two stopped arguing. Abby heard the sound and turned around and hurried over.

In the Holy See troops in the center of the procession, an older old man was dressed in a white robe, his gray hair and beard were scattered, and he looked like a bishop of the Holy See. After the old man whispered a few words to Abby, the boy waved his hand to let the group go on, and no longer objected to Frank's joining, silently following the bishop.

"Eh, you see, Abby must have been scolded by that old man, so she didn't dare to speak. "Frank is a little bit of a schadenfreude.

"That old man has some skills, and he bluffed the stunned young man in a few words. Frank didn't realize why a girl was talking all of a sudden, and he looked around, and suddenly his eyes stopped on Edith.

After being stared at by Frank for a long time, Edith felt sick all over, and her temper came up at that time: "What do you think I'm doing? ”

Frank was taken aback, and then he realized his impoliteness and quickly bowed his head and apologized. At this time, the voice sounded again: "Another stunned young man." ”

"Who? Who's talking?" Frank was so frightened that the person who spoke in broad daylight couldn't see it, could it be the hell? There were a lot of priests of the Holy See around? What the hell is so powerful?

"It's me, look here, look here. He saw the crow standing on Bert's shoulder waving its wings at him. Frank almost fell off his horse and wiped his eyes vigorously: "I must have gotten up too early this morning, and I haven't woken up yet, and the crows in my dreams can talk." ”

"Haha, Jingwei don't make trouble. Frank, this is Jingwei, she's a crow turned human. Bert poked Jingwei with his hand, causing her to peck again.

"Oh my God, can anyone become a crow? This is still unheard of, it seems that I didn't sleep today in exchange for two surprises. ”

"Two?" the crowd was puzzled.

"Oooh oh...... Nothing, nothing, hurry up, the team is far away. With that, the boy kicked his feet, and the horse under his crotch flew away.
