After a rare quiet night, someone wakes up refreshed. Take a deep breath, the air is fragrant, like the smell of air cleaner. Sure enough, people who are used to living a dull life suddenly eat heavy salt, and they will be uncomfortable. It's all hallucinating, and I think I'm on Earth.

The first face I saw in the morning was still the familiar fat elf. The hospitality was just as welcoming, and the breakfast was so hearty that it would take two people to eat, but Lin still felt a little different. Where the specific differences are, but I can't say why.

When the meal was finished, Wildwalker Fu Teng did not arrange an adult version of the dark itinerary with a wicked smile on his face as he had done in the previous days. The fat elf was the right color and said, "Your Excellency Tripwood, my king has time to meet with you today and accept your credentials. If you don't have a problem, then follow me to the castle, where the hostess will tell you what to look out for. ”

Lin smiled heartily: "Oh, I'm finally free." Of course I'm fine, it's up to the host. So, go now? ”

"Well, let's go now."

Ready Lin, take the letter of state. As soon as I left the guest house, I saw a luxury carriage waiting at the door. A few days ago, although there was also a car to sit in, it was not yet the level of the car in front of me. Two pure white horses in vests pull the cart, and the body of the cart is mainly sky blue, the representative color of the royal family. In terms of luxury and style, it is definitely not lost to the travel of human nobles.

Looks...... It won't be the kind of car that takes you to the slaughterhouse or execution ground.

But no matter how luxurious it is, it's still just a carriage, and it's a carriage without shock absorbers. So after a few polite words of praise as is customary, a man got into his carriage and set off for the palace.

The streetscapes, topography, and all sorts of unique buildings along the way, someone has seen enough in the past few days. Whether it's when the fat elf is following, or when he sneaks out on his own to get information about the terrain and features.

Including the most mysterious and beautiful palace complex in the mouth of the elves, in addition to the historical origin, all the structures and the location of the secret room have long been explored by someone. I even took the time to visit it.

And this 'first' time I came in, Wilder Fu Teng was like a competent tour guide, introducing the characteristics and history of each building. Of course, in the discourse, do not forget to tout your own country, where it follows thousands of years of tradition, and where it is the innovative characteristics made by the wisdom of today's people.

This part is kind of interesting for someone. But the next part is pure tossing.

At the ceremonial officer, what a person thinks is proper is violently corrected once from beginning to end.

When meeting His Majesty the King, there is a set of rules that are so cumbersome that people cannot remember how far they must stand, how high they can swing their heads, how much they should bow, and how low they must bend their waists. But the elves are tireless in reminding and guiding them again and again, as if they want to train these movements into muscle memory.

Fortunately, this time it was a basalt robe made of silk. After using magic to cleanse, the elves have nothing to say. Otherwise, someone strongly suspects that he may be stripped naked by the elves on the grounds of indecency, and then put on the costume they offer, which is no different from that of a clown. Just by looking at it, someone thinks it's a costume that is being lent to make a guest look ugly.

Of course, weapons and other things can't be brought into the palace. And Lin brought the box-cut version of the Blue Wave Knife that had been obediently silent for the past few days. This peculiarly shaped short dagger was left at the guard's place and taken with him when he left.

When the group of elven guards and knights guarding the palace heard that this strange-looking short dagger was actually a legendary weapon, the box cut, they all showed surprised expressions. Even after someone left, he picked up the 'box cut' and played with it.

There was the bold one, and he directly reached out and touched the blade. It's okay if you don't touch it, but if you touch it, you're disappointed, because it's a dagger that doesn't open its edge, and it doesn't look like a weapon that can be used to cast spells instead of a wand. To put it simply, even the knife that the girl who got married carried with her was more useful than this thing. The elves couldn't help but look down on the human magician.

Regarding the matter of entering the palace unarmed, Lin has no psychological barrier at all. Because the so-called 'defenseless' is only the cognition of those elves. When you need it, you can't always ask for it.

In other words, he actually prefers this method, using the flash spell to summon when he needs it, rather than being carried with him all the time. Because every flash is an opportunity to accumulate energy for the box, the more the merrier.

However, following a certain magician, in addition to seeing the world, can also greatly satisfy the desire to peep into people's hearts. So it's really hard to choose.

In the huge palace, the footsteps were unexpectedly crisp and loud. This is because the elven knights who lead the way are wearing full-covered armor. They dressed themselves like tin cans, and even their boots were made of iron; Walking on the marble floor, with a unique pace, the sound of the iron boots is also a little pleasant.

The fat elf who accompanied him was familiar with the affairs of the palace. On the way to the audience, he did not forget to remind: "Your Excellency Tripwood, Your Majesty received you on the occasion of a formal political meeting. All the ministers of the kingdom will be present, so don't be stage frightened. ”

"Oh, it's a big scene." Lin smiled, but was not worried at all. No matter how strong the aura of a group of elf old men is, it is terrible to have the hundreds of magicians in math class.

Even if the latter takes the academic route, it is both ferocious and cruel when it starts. As for the ruling class of a kingdom, one or two out of ten can be found, and it is considered a lot. Most people in power kill people, they use their power to kill, not kill with their own hands. Human beings are like this, and as for elves, according to what they have seen and heard in the past few days, Lin also believes that it is not much different.

Although a person is allowed to appear in the Council, it is not always possible to break into the Council of the Kingdom. So Lin first stayed in the reception room next to the government affairs hall, waiting for the summons.

Finally, when I waited for the messenger's summons notice, it was already close to noon, and someone happened to feel hungry. Also, in the reception room next to the government office in the palace, there is no tea and refreshment; Avoid people eating and drinking too much, and pooping and pee in formal meetings. So someone is hungry and called into their territory by a group of elven old men.

As soon as you enter, a palatial hall comes into view. Art-grade lights, statues and drawings fill every corner. The window sill shines into the warm winter sun, and the refraction of the floor-to-ceiling mirror makes the interior well-lit. Even if the magic lampstand is not turned on, the room is still bright. It is conceivable that the designer of the royal palace really made some ingenuity.

The council of the Elven Kingdom takes place at a long table in the center of the hall. The old king sat on the throne, and the ministers sat in two rows. There were no young people in it, all of them were longer than their beards. However, the skin of both men and women is smooth and translucent, without any wrinkles, and the skin quality is too good to be true. It is estimated that let the aunts of the earth see that there are not all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred.

First of all, according to the guidance of the previous ceremonial officer, Lin performed a suffocating and weird-looking ceremony. Don't say that you are embarrassed, it is estimated that you will be embarrassed to see people. Then he curtled his knees and said, "Your Majesty the Great and Wise King, a magician from the holy city of Estari, Gabrash Tripwood, greets you. On behalf of His Majesty Zhdan III Nadeshkin, King of the Pyathaime Kingdom, I would like to greet you. ”

In fact, Lin had forgotten all the etiquette he was forced to learn before. What I do and say now is just the etiquette that I have in my impression that should not be so bad.

Seeing this, the king of the Kingdom of Amerland, Andrei Kirill, did not blame too much. The magician in front of me is not the point. "Your Excellency Tripwood, please convey for me, greetings to His Majesty Ridan."

"Okay, okay." Standing up straight again, Lin held the letter of state, which looked the same as the original, in both hands, and handed it to the young courtier who was walking towards him. "This is the letter of state that Your Majesty Ridan asked me to send."

Naturally, a special person will check and confirm the letter sent by the king of another country, and the seal of the fire paint will be lifted and opened. But procedurally, it must still be presented to the king, and only after the king's consent can there be follow-up actions. After all, refusing to accept the credentials in front of the envoy is also a means of political expression.

André Kirill, of course, had no reason to refuse the credentials of a friendly kingdom, so he nodded at the credentials presented by his courtiers, and he was considered to have gone through the process. The court magician waited, ready to undo the spell. André Kirill then casually asked, "Your Excellency Tripwood, do you know the contents of the letter?" Although it is not expressed, the temptation is strong.

Lin also had a casual attitude, nodded and said, "Of course I know." Because that plan was both proposed by me and led by me. Asking the little king to write that letter was just a chance for me to meet Your Majesty. Otherwise, I would have come casually and said that I wanted to meet you, and I guess I wouldn't have much hope of actually meeting you, would I? ”

Someone told the truth, but the elves were stunned, not knowing how to answer, and even the calm king could not continue to keep his expression. Looking at everyone's stunned appearance, someone can be regarded as a sigh of resentment for his treatment that has been dried for more than ten days.

Although it is said that eating well, using it well, sleeping well, there is no place for inconsiderate hospitality. But it doesn't mean that you are willing to waste time in these places that don't match your own wavelength of interest.

Besides, I am not the only one who has been delayed. For the group of people behind him, even if they didn't face each other, Lin could feel that their patience had reached a critical value. Just ask for the moment of eruption, if it doesn't come towards you, it's Amitabha Buddha to someone.
