Chapter 1323: Neuquén Imperial City
With the help of the leading party, of course Lin will take advantage of it. However, it is not necessary to set off immediately after negotiating with William, you have to be prepared.
And it's not just two people on the road, Lin also plans to take a few elves to fight. Anyway, he has the identity of the gold coin goddess voter, and if he has to do everything himself, it will be too unscrupulous. It's normal to bring some assistants to support the scene.
In addition, the first impression of interpersonal communication is still established from the appearance of things. Who the explores their inner world when they meet for the first time! It is still possible to explore the depths and strengths and weaknesses of the individual.
The two sticks and hammers ran to the palace to talk about things, and with a group of beautiful elves, they put on a full show to talk about things, and the momentum was different. That's why those in the power are very particular about this aspect.
At such times, it is not appropriate to bring your own apprentices into the field. Again, there aren't enough cards. After all, even their teacher was nothing in the eyes of such a behemoth as the Empire, let alone a mere magic apprentice.
Maybe William? Greco's 'Juggernaut' is a rare title that can be obtained, but this is a guest of honor in the Ikaruga Alliance! When I met, I was not directly swept away by the imperial officials, which can be regarded as official sincerity.
Therefore, the elves that Lin is going to bring must also be the leaders of the various wood elf tribes or elf kingdoms. In the future, most of them will also become bank clerks based in the Imperial City of Karlsruhe. There is no need for anyone to worry about such a candidate, and the goddess and the World Tree can definitely pick out the right talent.
On the one hand, it is also the development of banks that has noticed that the clerks stationed in various places do not really need much professional knowledge and skills. The only important thing is to be able to fight! Because most of the time, the clerk in the bank is dealing with some irrational emergencies, rather than introducing those financial products used for abduction and fraud with a sweet smile.
In preparation, Lin also asked William more about the Karlsruhe Empire. Don't look at the forums that are full of information these days, but there is no such thing as a city guide!
If it's a map of some high-risk areas, the range of Warcraft's activities, or the distribution range of rare plants and minerals, you can buy enough detailed information for a little more money. However, this kind of thing is not a mainstream activity in the lost land, and no one has made some introductions or key introductions to a city.
Even trying to integrate scattered intelligence with a forum index designed by Kaya won't do what someone wants to see. Most of the statements that are hidden are about some private privacy. What Lin wanted to know was an introduction to the overall situation similar to the content of a history book, but there was no such thing at all.
So when it comes to a new location, it's really important for a local snake to be the leader of the way.
Unfortunately, the impression of the Karlsruhe Empire was too long, and William could only name one of the characteristics of mountains and rivers. And the Greco family is even more so. In a mountainous and river-ridden environment, the Greco family runs the business of water transport.
According to William, he had the impression that the men in the family, in addition to carrying bags, were fighting. It is not uncommon to hear that someone's ship has been scuttled and that people have sunk into the water together. It doesn't have to be at their house, it could be an opponent, it could be a friend, or it could just be a passer-by.
That's why William can't guarantee that his former family still exists after so long without contact.
In fact, if you compare the history of his hometown, it is not difficult to imagine where William's worries come from. Speaking of which, his family is like a Cao Gang. Don't look at these two words, it seems to run through the entire history of Jiangnan, but in fact, the composition in it has changed wave after wave.
As the saying goes: no one is good for a thousand days, and no flower is red for a hundred days. There is also the back wave of the Yangtze River pushing the front wave. This kind of business that is maintained by hard work is too easy to replace. Therefore, William will say that after such a long time, the family may be gone.
Even if there are forums as a convenient tool for communication, it is not easy to confirm the existence of a person or family without a contact method for a specific person. Therefore, Lin had no way to make more confirmations and ask for more information. Anyway, William had already promised to follow along, and everything could only be done at the right time.
The preparation time is very short, mainly because the preliminary work has already been perfected, and everyone is just packing their luggage. What is more troublesome is that you have to make an appointment with the person opposite before you can enter the capital of an empire smoothly.
Don't look at the flashing technique is very convenient, there is no obstacle to get anywhere, in fact, it can be considered a kind of illegal entry. Although the Lost Land is primitive, and you can see adventurers and mercenaries everywhere, their movement is guaranteed by the Adventurer's Guild and the Mercenary Guild, and they are approved by the border checkpoint.
To be understood in terms of the Earth's model, the two guilds or guarantees from elsewhere are like passports. The invitation letter I got from the goddess Koin was like an entry visa. Through these procedures, it is possible to avoid the movement of criminals across borders with clear criminal facts. But it's not very spiritual.
When Lin entered the Ameran Elven Kingdom in the past, he deliberately used the introduction letter of the Ameran Elf Kingdom on the border to clear the customs, and then he could successfully enter the royal city of the Ameran Elf Kingdom. It's a hassle and it takes a lot of time to queue, but you can avoid some unnecessary headaches. In any case, there was no basis for mutual trust between the two sides in the early days.
If you do not have these legal procedures and enter the country legally, I am afraid that it will be easy to find fault with people on formal occasions. This may have a bad impact on the promotion of banks. So of course Lin had to find a way to avoid it.
However, he didn't want to copy the procedure of entering the elven kingdom again, which was troublesome and time-consuming. Since the invitation was given to the goddess of gold coins, it shouldn't be too much for her messenger to enjoy some convenience. There is also a special customs clearance procedure for diplomatic envoys on Earth.
I didn't do it myself because I didn't have enough face. From the point of view of the purpose, at that time, it was to plan the world tree to which the elven kingdom belonged, and to show people that it was a tactical use to show weakness. But now in order to promote the bank, not only rely on the face of the goddess of gold coins, but also not lose the face of the goddess. If you are too weak, you can't do it. As the saying goes, this time, that time.
After everything was connected and ready, Lin and William? Greco and the chosen elves appeared together outside the northern gates of Neuquén, the imperial city of the Karlsruhe Empire.
A total of sixteen people came from the elven side, both men and women. There is no doubt about the appearance, the beauty of the elf is innate, and there is no one in ten thousand that can grow crooked. Their strength should not be underestimated. As long as there are suitable weapons and equipment, this sixteen-person squad will not have a problem overthrowing the thousand-man brigade of human beings.
However, they came as messengers, of course, they could not have come fully armed. All of them, including Lin and William, wore a suit and tie; For women, it is a narrow skirt with black stockings. Men wear leather shoes, while women wear heels that are no different from walking on stilts.
Not surprisingly, these suits are all products of the World Tree brand, and they have the same attributes as the elven robes. Compared with the phrase 'a suit is a gentleman's must-have armor', in the Western world of my hometown, which only expresses its connotation, the suit of the World Tree brand can really be used as armor, and the idle sword can't cut it!
Stockings are certainly not nylon products, and someone doesn't have a bit of a technology tree in the petrochemical industry. For the refining of automobiles, it is only the most basic products of gasoline and asphalt.
The stockings on the legs of several female elves are spider-type demonic beast fabrics under the control of the World Tree Elder. The reason why there is such a thing is because a certain crosser suggested that it is necessary to put something on everyone's bare legs to unify the appearance and also hide the imperfections on the skin. It can't be pants, it has to be tight-fitting clothing, preferably a little transparent.
Then all the spider-type demonic beasts within the World Tree Domain were captured and squeezed......
As for weapons, due to the taboo of the Wood Elves not using blade-type weapons, they all hid a short wand in their suits. It's the same World Tree card, it's absolutely no problem to use it to cast spells, and it's like stabbing people! It can be said to be a good weapon for both melee combat and magic.
Of course, Lin and William are not as particular as the elves. The suit on Lin's body was made of ordinary materials, and William's suit was specially commissioned by Lin to the World Tree, in order to eliminate the defective characteristics of the flash technique. I don't have enough magic silk at home, so I really can't even out it to help William make a costume.
As for weapons, someone doesn't even bother to bring a wand when they go out now. Anyway, there is a box cutting family, who is on call, and there are all kinds of tricks to choose from, so it is not troublesome.
And William hadn't thought about getting a new weapon ever since his sword was cut off by Ciceinzadu in the process of training with Azad. Anyway, the Sword Saint has more or less touched the realm that someone thought was only possible in martial arts, and flying flowers and picking leaves could hurt people. So if the sword is not a sword, it is no worse.
Just such a group of strangely dressed people, among whom were only two humans and sixteen elves, suddenly appeared on the avenue at the gate of the imperial city, which of course attracted everyone's side attention.
However, the time and place of Lin and the others had already been notified to the people of the Karlsruhe Empire, and they had also said that the composition of the members had been made. So before Lin could see the environment clearly, someone had already come up first.
The Karlsruhe Empire is located south of the equator in the Lost Land, so this season they are early autumn and summer is not far away. The group of people who came forward were dressed in exaggerated cool costumes and decorated with all kinds of strange feathers, which was completely different from the calm and restrained style of the Gwana Empire.
Of course, there are masters and vices in this group. A person who was in the position of the follower, who was supposed to be a nobleman, took the lead in greeting and introducing the principal beside him, and said, "Your Excellency the Grand Magician of Gabrash, I am the knight Ramiro. Beside me was the minister in charge of receiving the messenger of the goddess of gold, Count Ephron. Greetings from here. ”
Lin and the others, except for William, returned the salute with the etiquette of the goddess's faith. At the end, Lin turned out the back of his right hand. The emblem belonging to the goddess of gold coins appears on the back of Lin's hand like a tattoo and ripples with the light of pure sainthood, proving that the identity of the holder of the emblem belongs to the chosen people of the goddess.
