Chapter 1276: The Emperor Summons
,!
It's like before, the banking regulations that someone made behind closed doors were the same as having an additional function of a legal person account as soon as they discussed it with Uzov and Mel. During this time, Keyin also developed functions such as 'checks' and 'letters of credit' in his exchanges with believers, or more precisely, bank depositors.
These things, after someone's deep thought, feel that they should be content that can be used at this point in time and will not cause major problems. It also helped to improve the rules. Of course, it is according to someone's knowledge of the financial system that is approaching maturity before crossing.
The reason why the rules of the financial system are so complex is to prevent the shortcomings and loopholes found in the long-term operation. At the same time, it is necessary to secretly open some back doors, so that those who know how to fish in it. These things may not be copied to the world, but the complicated rules are still worth referring to.
In addition, in the past, bank users could use the Keyin emblem they carried with them to deposit money, which was for the convenience of people who went out to save money. However, the function of directly using the Keyin emblem to transfer money has also been proposed. This is actually used for coinless transactions between stores and consumers, just like the various QR code payments or credit and debit card transactions that someone used before crossing over.
However, this feature was temporarily dissuaded by someone. On the one hand, this feature can be exploited by robbers, thieves. On the other hand, the current users of banks are not yet widespread and are not in a hurry to open such functions. In this regard, the goddess of gold coins is as good as flowing.
At this point in time, Efron? Muhashebesin finally came to inform him that the emperor could meet with someone.
At the appointed time, Lin took the young men of Muhashebesi's family to the main gate of the royal palace in the imperial city of Nineveh.
Efron? Muhashebesi stood beside a certain magician in the most popular costume of the holy city of Estali during this time, the bank suit.
It stands to reason that as a member of the aristocracy, he should wear a noble dress and attend this kind of occasion for the emperor to receive him. However, Efron is also an envoy of the goddess of gold coins, and it is also proper to wear the uniform of the bank. What's more, this dress is not a rude design, it is much better than the previous ascetic-like monk's robes.
Grand Magician Gabras? Tripwood was the same as before, and he was wearing a pure black and gold-threaded basalt robe, an artifact robe with a god lodge.
In fact, Fen Youyou made another suit for him, which was different from the one on Efron, but someone didn't want to wear that kind of defenseless clothes and break into the dragon's den like the palace. At this stage, the suit is still a useless color. So Lin was still wearing a Xuanwu robe, a magician's robe with strong defensive power.
And waiting for the magician to appear at the main gate was, of course, Baron Mamoud, the emperor's close minister who had been sent by the emperor to the Holy City to invite a certain magician. There was also half a squadron of the Emperor's Guards. They were dressed in shiny armor, carrying sharp spears and cloaks of bright red velvet, and all of them looked imposing.
As soon as he saw a certain magician appear, Baron Mamoud, who had had experienced it before, maintained a calm attitude and stepped forward to greet: "Your Excellency, Grand Magician, welcome to your arrival. Please come with me into the palace to meet His Majesty the Emperor. When he saw Efron, Baron Mamoud only glanced at the young man's fancy dress, but said nothing.
Someone greeted him politely, and of course Lin couldn't face each other badly. He performed the courtesy of a magician and said, "It is my pleasure." Please lead the way. ”
When the group was about to enter the palace, they were stopped by the guards guarding the door.
The tall knight stood in front of them like an iron tower, his indifferent eyes looking down from the top of the full-hooded helmet at the magician who was as thin as a chick in his eyes. The squadron commander's personal guard said: "When entering the palace, you are not allowed to carry weapons. ”
Well~ well, quite a normal reason. However, Lin patted himself up and down and said, "I don't carry any weapons, not even wands and knives. ”
It's the truth. Now the forest does not need to 'carry' weapons. When you want to use it, just summon the box cut.
But the guards didn't let a certain magician pass because of this. He didn't ask for a body search, but pointed at someone abnormally and said, "It's the same with this magic robe, it's not allowed to be worn in." Take it off. ”
…… Well, that's a weird request.
A certain magician turned his head to look at the two nobles beside him in confusion and asked, "Is this a normal request?" ”
Baron Mamoud was not shocked, his face did not change, but his voice was a little more serious, and he said, "This is Your Majesty's guest. ”
"It's all the same. I suspect that he has a magical robe attached to it, and there is dangerous magic attached to it. I can't have allowed him to enter the palace without taking it off. It's all about protecting Your Majesty. The emperor's personal guard guarding the door said confidently.
Hearing this, Lin Yi shrugged his shoulders and said, "Since this is the case, I can only say that I am sorry." Please convey it to His Majesty the Emperor on my behalf, I have no way to see him. ”
After listening to someone's answer, the emperor's personal guard reached out and grabbed it without thinking. At the same time, he said: "Since you are here! It's impossible to make you ......."
People, disappear.
"Go ......"
Efron, who had not spoken from beginning to end, remained in place, looking dazed.
Baron Mamoud, who was greeted by the guards guarding the door a few days ago, was still in a faint pain, and asked himself in his heart: What happened? Who am I? What am I standing here for?
Halfway through the words, the target was gone, and the hand raised in mid-air by the emperor's personal guard had not had time to put down. He turned his head, looked around, and asked, "What about people?" ”
Efron, who came back to his senses, stroked his forehead and wailed: "People are the most escaping magicians, how can they be caught by you!" ”
Baron Mamoud, who was also aware of what had just happened, looked at Efren and asked, "What about the carriage and escort that followed us past Estali?" ”
"From the moment I received the notice from the Baron, I let them return the same day. I guess I'm still on the road, about a third of the way through. ”
"Then we can ...... How do I contact that magician? ”
Knowing that the answer was not very satisfactory, Efron had to say cautiously: "If we don't think about meeting him in a carriage, let's just use a fast horse and run to Estali?" It is estimated that it will be there in ten days. ”
Baron Mamoud frowned, and asked again: "Can you use the forum to contact the other party and ask that magician to come to the imperial capital again?" ”
"I'm the inventor of the forum, but the one who never appears on the forum." Efren said with some weakness.
The guards who were still holding their hands were embarrassed. Although he lowered his hand in disdain, thankfully his helmet covered his entire face and no one could see his expression.
But that doesn't mean others will let him go. Baron Mamoud was not polite at all, staring at the guards who were still blocking the door and said, "I don't know what you think, or who you listened to. But what is happening here, I will tell His Majesty in the scathest of all. Now, then, get out of the way, I have to go in and see His Majesty the Emperor." Or am I not allowed to enter the palace? ”
In fact, Baron Mamoud felt that something was wrong from the beginning. Because he usually guards the gate of the palace, but the number of people in a small team. The rest of the men rest and stand by in the guard rooms on both sides of the gate, and the gatekeepers rotate regularly.
But today, the number of half a squadron, that is, five squads, appeared to guard the door, directly blocking the main gate of the palace, which was originally quite spacious. With this unusual arrangement, if there is no problem behind it, Baron Mamoud can eat his leather boots.
It is a pity that even if he is a close minister of the emperor, he is not qualified to order the personal guard legion. Even if you want to warn...... The magician ran away without saying a word, playing hairy!
"I'm just doing my part." With a flushed face and a breath of breath, the neck of the squadron leader of the personal guard was thickened, but fortunately no one else could see this. He stepped aside and instructed the guards who stood in his way to get out of the way of the palace gates.
Baron Mamoud had not taken a few steps and found that Efren had not followed. He looked back and saw the young man in strange clothes hesitating in front of the palace. How could he not know what such a young man was worried about, so he said: "Since Your Majesty has entrusted you with the task, you must have an explanation. Even if you leave now, your father will get you back and have to suffer a little. So why don't you just come in with me? ”
The practice of the emperor's close servants. If the children do not serve wholeheartedly enough, or if there is a mistake in doing things, the elders will not get used to it when they go back, and it is standard procedure to eat and beat them first.
After all, the family is the emperor's tool, and if the tool is not easy, there will be other ways besides being abandoned? So for the survival of the family, no one will raise the child into waste. Even if he really became a waste, he would be thrown far away and not let him appear in front of the emperor.
Efron? Muhashebesi is unlucky, the kind of child who is about to be rated as a waste and has not been brought up with all his heart. Baron Mamoud knew this. But when something happened, it was impossible to let him make mistakes, so he pulled him and reminded him.
The young man who gave up his family responsibilities and turned to devote himself to the career of the gold coin goddess sighed silently. He knows very well what the family motto is. At the same time, he knew that he couldn't hide from this encounter no matter what, so he could only follow the elders in front of him into the palace.
But when Efren saw the Emperor preparing to meet the magician, he regretted it. He should have been beaten by his own father in recognition of his own points, and he should not have followed in.
The place where the Emperor prepares to receive the magician is the Council Hall in the Imperial Palace. It is a place where all the ministers are gathered to handle political affairs, receive foreign guests, and nobles who come to the court.
At the same time, except that the emperor sat on his throne in full costume and held a scepter in his hand. The Imperial Chancellor, i.e. the crown prince, sat to the left of the emperor. All the ministers sat on the left, and the private ministers of the emperor's family sat on the right. And some nobles who were not high enough to hold positions stood behind the ministers' seats.
This can be said to be a very high-level reception of the Empire. The other four Empires sent emissaries, or the bishop of a powerful Divine Church was invited, and that was no more.
But...... What about today's protagonist?
Maybe not many people know Efron in fancy costumes, but there is no one who is not familiar with the emperor's close minister, Baron Mamoud. He should have gone to greet the rumored magician, and led them directly into the palace to the council hall.
So, what about people? Is it the young man in fancy dress? That kid doesn't look like a magician.
