At the beginning, it was because Li Muran was able to win glory for White in front of envoys from various countries. It is because he can bring benefits to himself that White is enthusiastic about Li Muran.

Now that the martial arts competition is over, White still doesn't want to believe Li Muran, an outsider.

His cronies were always people who were related to him by blood, or who had always followed him.

Work is still rigorous.

Words and deeds are full of pride and contempt for others.

Treat you as a human being when you are needed, and when you are not needed, you are not even as good as the weeds on the side of the road.

looks like some big bosses in Li Muran's original world.

The attitude of the White City Council not only did not make Li Muran unhappy, but it was in line with Li Muran's wishes.

It's better to say that if he is too good to himself, Li Muran will be embarrassed to be ruthless to White after that.

With official documents, Li Muran became an official.

After that, not to mention being able to enter and exit the palace, he also officially took over the land of 'Yoktor Village'.

Leaving from White, Li Muran spared the palace by the way.

You can clearly feel the anxious atmosphere.

It seems that what the Demon King Sect said in the email that White has done a lot of things should be correct.

Things became more and more troublesome, to the point that Li Muran had to intervene in person.

Li Muran walked around the palace and did not choose the route to leave the palace directly.

Instead, they took a long detour and took an inconsequential route.

This is also the information provided by the Demon King Sect.

If you're lucky, you won't be able to meet anyone you want to meet.

Although it can also be threaded by the Demon King, isn't the matter becoming urgent?

Li Muran felt that it was better to meet the other party in person, and he could talk directly about the core topics, and things could unfold faster.

But as mentioned above, you have to be 'lucky' to come across it.

So Li Muran doesn't have high expectations for the success of things.

Visiting the palace and adding a new experience of another world is the main thing, meeting people and doing things is incidental.

Anyway, I still can't get too much motivation for the human side.

Just when Li Muran was thinking about where to refer to the architectural style of the palace, and then set it up in his own Demon King City, he met an acquaintance.

"Hi. Meet again. ”

The other party took the initiative to stop Li Muran.

Li Muran naturally knew each other.

The other party is the old general who always follows King Ba.

"Remember to call it ......."

"Hey. I'm also a general, how to put it. Since you're also an official, remember the name of your boss for me. My name is Carl. Responsible for commanding the Royal Knights. I'm the head of the Royal Order of Bastora. ”

The old general patted his chest with his hand and introduced himself to Li Muran.

"Hello General Karl."

Li Muran just nodded casually, and responded with a lack of interest.

"I even showed a tired look at remembering my boss's name. You still haven't changed. ”

Carl not only didn't get angry because of Li Muran's attitude, but laughed.

It's not a beautiful name.

Who would be interested in the old man's name.

Besides, Li Muran had already understood the situation of the other party.

Under the secret operation of the Demon King Sect, this bit of in the palace is not far from ten.

factions, interest relationships, and even emotional relationships, whose wives have done unscrupulous things with others, Li Muran knows something.

The lack of interest shown here is simply a lack of interest in the old information that is already known.

It's also to mobilize the emotions of the other party.

Let the other party be interested in Li Muran.......

There is an attitude gap, just as in love, the party who is always being pursued is more advantageous.

In this way, in the subsequent conversation, Li Muran can secretly grasp the leading power and lead the direction of the topic.

This is the technology that in the first meeting, when one's own status is not as high as that of the other party, and in the conversation, we will strive for more benefits for our own company.

It is a common means of speech for business personnel.

"I haven't changed? Don't understand what adults mean? Let's talk for the first time. Although they met at the celebration banquet of the martial arts tournament, they did not speak. ”

Li Muran continued to pretend to be stupid, leading Carl to take the initiative to continue the topic.

"You guys still want to be perfunctory....... Do you have to break it? Didn't you talk to me once when you were leaving Baka and disguised as a civilian? ”

Li Muran showed an expression of sudden realization.

"That's right. And that time. ”

"Are you trying to fool me? Deliberately pretending to be stupid, let me say more. ”

"No, no. I just forgot about it. At that time, Mr. Karl was wearing different makeup than he is now, and I didn't recognize it as the same person. ”

"Forget it. Let it be so. Congratulations on your appointment to office. ”

"Thank you, Lord Karl."

The conversation went smoothly, a simple hello led to so many conversations.

People always prefer to trust the people they have come into contact with.

With so much conversation, albeit all pointless content.

But in Carl's heart, it is easier to accept Li Muran than to accept outsiders he has never met.

The next step is to continue to get closer.

"I've always been curious about it. Why did Lord Karl make up as a civilian at that time? Do you want to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger? Karl-sama likes this kind of plot too. ”

Carl looked at Li Muran, frowned, and did not directly answer Li Muran's question.

"You guy, are you really not trusted by White? yes. Recently, the situation has become more serious, and he only trusts his henchmen. You're new to the board and can't get too much trust. ”

The implication is that Li Muran, a newcomer who was suddenly promoted in his career, did not know about the partisan struggle in Bastora.

He was not accepted by White, and he was not told about his relationship with King Ba, so naturally he didn't know why General Karl was pretending to be a civilian.

How could Li Muran not know that General Karl was pretending to be a civilian in order to avoid White's eyes and ears?

At that time, before he took over the mess of the Demon King Sect, Li Muran had already guessed one or two, and told Howard and Bella about his conjecture during the trip, shocking Howard for a hundred years.

Li Muran deliberately threw out these questions along Carl's topic.

The purpose is not to get an answer from Karl's mouth, but to take the opportunity to show his position.

implied that he was not yet trusted by White and did not join White's camp.

In this way, you can gain Carl's trust and get closer to each other.

"General Karl? What do you mean? Master White doesn't trust me? Why don't you trust me? I've just received my lordship's appointment from Lord White. At the celebration banquet of the tournament, Master White also admired me very much. I'm a newcomer, and I don't know anything yet, so please don't play tricks on me. ”

Li Muran continued to talk nonsense with hypocrisy.

The performance is full of acting, and there is no emotion at all.

But Li Muran is still confident that her acting skills are better than those cutters.

Even though Li Muran's performance was extremely fake, Carl still believed it.

The old general patted Li Muran's shoulder, revealing a helpless and painful expression.

"I've wanted to see you again since we last met. I am very impressed by your intelligence and combat prowess, and I admire you very much. The results of this tournament are a testament to your strength, and I am not surprised at all. If you follow the normal development, you will definitely be able to show your skills and make a big career. ”

"Unfortunately, the situation is complicated right now. Even a young talent like you, whom I recognize, has no insight into the dangers of factional struggles. This kind of thing is still too difficult for you who have just entered this circle. ”

Karl lamented the way of the world and the whirlpool of talented young people caught in the whirlpool of power struggles.

lamenting that the wicked are in charge, and young people have not given full play to their original opportunities and cannot achieve their ambitions.

It can be seen that Carl's dissatisfaction has been backlogged for a long time.

took advantage of Li Muran's topic to complain.

Carl's emotions were mobilized, and Li Muran naturally had to get off the donkey down the slope and cooperate with Carl to say something.

At this time, two people dressed as paladins walked over. Carl immediately motioned with his eyes to Li Muran not to speak again.

One of the two paladins was officially Joseph's direct subordinate, the female paladin who was defeated by Li Muran at the jousting tournament for the reason of testing the strength of the paladin.

When they passed by, the other party glared at Li Muran with fierce eyes that wanted to directly draw a sword and pierce Li Muran's heart.

Li Muran complained in his heart.

Is it good to expose such a strong killing intent in a sensitive place like the Imperial Palace?

This contemptuous attitude does not respect Baratos as a foreign country at all.

At the same time, because of the long-lost face, Li Muran remembered the touch of the other party's chest.

Compared with Bella and Tinari, it's still a little bit worse.

I couldn't help but frown.

Carl probably thought of Li Muran's reaction as Li Muran was scared.

took the initiative to comfort Li Muran.

"It's fine. You don't provoke them, they won't do anything to you here. ”

Waiting for the paladin to leave, Li Muran asked Carl curiously.

"Paladin? Aren't they the representatives of the Holy Church in the contest? Could it be that Bastora also applied for Paladin Aid? ”

"There's no such thing. I've been applying for it in the past. But because Bastora is a poor country, the Holy Church has never taken care of us. Now he took the initiative to send them, but it was not because of King Ba's application. Rather, Lord White invited them....... Without the permission of the king of a country, they blatantly entered and exited the palace at will, and Yanran regarded this place as their territory...... These arrogant bastards also claim to be righteous people......."

Karl said viciously, and stopped talking.

It seems that he senses that the rest of the sentence cannot be continued.

Carl also didn't fully trust Li Muran.

However, regardless of whether Carl continues to talk or not, the effect Li Muran wants has been achieved.

Carl doesn't say the content of the back, and Li Muran also knows it. Perhaps more than Carl knows.

Listening is a waste of time.

Li Muran didn't bother to listen.

Noticing that Carl didn't want to continue the topic, Li Muran hurriedly changed the content of the conversation.

"Lord Karl, there are a lot of people here, why don't you change places and talk about some light topics? It's hard to meet again, and this time, as a colleague, I should be able to have a lot to say to Master Carl. ”

"Suddenly invited me? What do you mean? ”

"Nothing in particular. I just want to bribe the adults. Isn't it common sense for a newcomer to take office and bribe a leader? ”

"How can anyone say the bribe directly?"

Carl had just finished complaining excitedly, noticed the eyes of others, and calmed down again. Then, the smile on his face again was like that of an old grandfather who indulged his grandson.

"Hahaha. You're funny. No wonder I was impressed when we first met. Okay, okay. Just let me see how you bribe me. ”

"If my bribe can satisfy adults......."

"Hey, do you mean that you still want to blackmail me?"

"Nope. I won't blackmail adults. I just hope that adults will recognize me and be friends with me. ”

"Be friends? Hahaha. You always surprise me. I see. As long as your bribe satisfies me, I will be your friend. Maybe that's what I wanted. ”

Carl was happy and patted Li Muran's shoulder.

Li Muran also pushed down his glasses, and the corners of his mouth curled.

............

White's eyeliner is everywhere.

So Carl took Li Muran to the Royal Knights' barracks outside the palace.

The Royal Knights were stationed not far outside the palace, but fortunately, when King Ba had any accidents, he reacted as soon as possible.

Because the Royal Knights have been subordinate to the king's personal guard throughout the dynasties, they swore allegiance not to the state but to the king himself, and only accepted orders from the king, which also made the Royal Knights camp the only place where White could not set foot in it.

White has always regarded the Royal Knights, the last barrier of the Ba King, as a thorn in the flesh, and has not been short of crooked ideas to toss the Knights.

Although the Royal Knights could not be pulled out directly, it was still under Karl's control.

But under the baptism of White's various operations, the Royal Knights suffered a huge blow, and their strength was greatly reduced.

Many people who are not strong-willed are bought and then betrayed their oaths.

As a result, the number of the Royal Knights reached an all-time low, with just over 30 remaining.

Such a number is more appropriate to say that it is a knight squad than a knight order.

The current state of the Order also reflects the current political landscape of Bastora.

It is the epitome of the contrast of strength between King Ba and White.

Li Muran knew all about this from the report of the Demon King Sect, but Li Muran just didn't say it.

Pretending to be ignorant, he curiously surveyed the surrounding scenery as he followed Carl into the Knights' barracks.

After entering the general's room of the Knights, Li Muran chatted with Carl.

Both of them have scruples, so they talk about inconsequential topics.

From the first time he saw Li Muran, he admired Li Muran and thought that Li Muran was a talent.

Li Muran also knew Carl's information from the Demon King Sect, understood Carl's personality, and had a good impression of this old general.

So although it was small talk, the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Then when it came to bribery, Carl jokingly asked Li Muran to take out the bribe.

At this time, Li Muran was empty-handed, and Carl made this joke because Li Muran felt that he couldn't bribe himself.

But Li Muran naturally said that there was no problem.

Tell Carl to wait in the room and leave the room for a while.

Open Baidu Cloud and take out the grain wine that the Demon King Army has just begun to try brewing, the spicy rabbit meat made with Thunderhorn rabbit meat, the cold dishes made with fresh vegetables, and the stir-fried dishes made by Bella.
