As with my past experience with kings and emperors, even if I was invited by the other party, I didn't want to meet them immediately. When the person arrives, he has to wait for the other party to arrange a time before he can officially meet.

According to the Imperial Emissary, Count Ephron conveyed that the time for the Divine Legation of the Goddess of Gold to participate in the Imperial Council was set for seven days later.

At that time, the construction of the temple of the goddess of gold coins, that is, the bank, will be set in a tone that everyone can agree on.

This year's fascination has not been as word-by-word as the earth's stinging about the content of the agreement. Basically, a few big heads meet, and the tone is set with one mouth.

Anyway, those who can abide will naturally obey, and those who can turn their faces will still turn their faces no matter what. Even if it's the content in black and white, on your own turf, you can explain it however you want. What everyone wants to talk about is more specific content such as amount and time limit, which can be determined on the spot. If it can't be decided on the spot, it means that the negotiation will probably be yellow.

The waiting time after seven days is not arbitrary, and it is not deliberately embarrassing. During this time, a banquet was arranged every evening.

If someone had taken these invitations without a clue, they might have thought that the Karlsruhe Empire really welcomed the Goddess of Gold and her party, or that they were planning to corrupt these oracles with a life of drunkenness.

But if you match the message sent by the empress, then the invitation to the six-day banquet will be quite interesting.

The first day of the invitation was the Duke of Messenaselli, at the Duke's residence in the capital.

On the second day was the Grand Duke of Fryas, also in the Grand Duke's capital residence, on the third day the Grand Duke of Infantador, on the fourth day the Grand Duke of Pilcenza and the Grand Duke of Parma invited him to join forces, and on the fifth day he was Grand Duke Muhi and Grand Duke Montezuma.

On the sixth day, the Empress held a banquet in the green hall of the palace.

To put it simply, each day's invitation corresponds to a faction of the aristocracy of the Karlsruhe Empire, a total of five. The last day was the Emperor's banquet, followed by the official Imperial Council.

When this kind of battle came out, Lin didn't think it was just a simple meal and drink.

Secret meetings in private are naturally for personal gain. In addition to doing big things, it is normal for people to ask for some benefits for themselves, and the nobles can only intensify their efforts, how can they be an exception. Perhaps these banquets were the first contact between the nobles of the five major factions and the Divine Mission of the Gold Coin Goddess.

This is not to say that the Karlsruhe Empire, these five factions can include all the nobles, for example, the Grand Duke of Oz is a wall-riding faction that does not belong to any party. But he will not have a clear position, and there are reasons why he has to do it.

As the main front line against the Heider Empire, the Plains of Oz was the main territory of the Grand Duke of Oz. And the source of troops to protect this territory comes from the entire empire, if Oz Gong stands in line casually, and other political enemies who don't deal with their faction don't send troops to support, then he won't be done playing. So he, the wall-riding faction, has to ride.

The other great nobles did not dare to force him to take sides. As long as anyone makes such a request, Oz's conditions are very simple, send enough troops to help him defend the Oz Plain. Whoever can do this, he becomes a die-hard henchman.

It may be a very pleasant thing to be able to monopolize military merits, but military merits are not something that can be earned in vain. How many soldiers have to die to have a chance to earn meritorious service. If the land in charge of the town is lost, even if there is no punishment, the soldier's life will be lost.

Therefore, the battlefield of the Oz Plain is a big mud pit guarded by everyone, and no one dares to eat alone. This has become the capital of Oz Gong.

Except for the Grand Duke of Oz, most of the people who failed to enter the five major factions were some minor nobles who did not want to be seen. Maybe their territory is in the middle of nowhere, or maybe their territory happens to be in some awkward position, and they happen to be at odds with some nobles in the faction, the kind I don't have. Therefore, no one dared to solicit these little nobles at will.

Although these petty aristocrats also know how to huddle together for warmth, their political influence is far less than that of the five major factions. is loyal to the emperor, but in fact it can't help anything. Naturally, he is not qualified to hold a banquet alone and invite the divine envoy of the goddess of gold coins.

They would probably attend the banquet hosted by the Empress on the last day, looking for an opportunity. It also depends on the harvest of those big nobles in the past few days to judge whether they can take advantage of the corners and corners.

Just from the invitation letter and Baron Mangado, who came to report every day, Lin felt a wave of political storms belonging to the Karlsruhe Empire. When I actually participated, I felt this feeling even deeper.

Although nominally the five factions invited each of them to the banquet, they invited the nobles of the entire empire. Except for those who have a grudge against each other and do not talk to each other.

Some of the little nobles are simple, as long as they receive an invitation, they will find a way to participate. This kind of banquet was a very important social occasion for the nobles, in addition to maintaining friendship, but also an opportunity to show the strength of the family.

It's not to be fearful or anything, but sometimes the family domain has a seasonal souvenir to talk about on such occasions. Maybe someone is interested, maybe someone needs it, and when they find another one in private, then the business will be done, and the money will be earned.

The aristocracy of the Karlsruhe Empire was not quite the same as elsewhere. The waterways drove the prosperity of the empire's commerce, and those who could be in charge did not expect to bring greater benefits to their families, rather than just staring at the soil and digging food. If they hadn't been flexible, they would have been replaced by other siblings long ago, and they wouldn't be in the position they are in today.

But for these banquet invitations, the great nobles are very particular. Whoever can go, who can't, who wants to go in person, who wants to bring the family rolls, and who only needs to send their children and nephews, all aspects make sense. If you make a mistake, not only will you lose face, but even the host of the banquet will lose face. And for the nobles, losing face is no different from making a feud.

However, one thing is clear, that is, the banquet attended by the big nobles themselves is bound to have a different friendship with the organizer of the banquet. They are members of the same faction, so to speak. So if someone doesn't show up when they should be, or shows up on a different occasion, it's no less than an earthquake for the Empire.

But Lin didn't have a chance to see this kind of big scene. The banquet in the first five days, in fact, the main axis is almost the same, but the people acting opposite have changed wave after wave.

The demands of the nobles were nothing more than a few. One is that the banking business is not opened to their counterparts. One is the money saved by the goddess of gold coins, and take it out for them to use. If you don't comply, the stupid one will be blunt about all kinds of threats and temptations, and the smart ones won't say much, and even if they only mention something, they won't say more.

Sure enough, wealth moves people's hearts. There is no way to trouble the goddess directly, so I will trouble them with these little ghosts at the bottom, and see if I can flow some of the money from those hands into my pocket.

For these things, whether it is Lin or other elves, they can push it, and if they can't, they will pretend to be stupid.

The kind of statement that swears that he is willing to expel the faith of other gods and goddesses of gold coins alone, as long as the bank is not opened elsewhere, does not talk about the question of whether the goddess believes in it or not, but there is no need at all!

If the Church of the Goddess of Gold Coins, the old faith model is maintained, and this kind of support from those in power will simply be undesirable for the good thing of monopolizing the faith in the territory. In order to be able to achieve the goal, it is understandable to pay some price.

Nowadays, however, banks do not need to have the belief of monopolizing one place at all, and what they need more is to open them extensively, and it is impossible to agree to this kind of request that banks not open in one place after they are opened.

Besides, with the current locust-like spread speed of the bank, the other gods can tolerate it, isn't it because the bank will not encroach on their beliefs? If exclusivity comes, even if it is only in one place, will it spread to other places in the future?

As long as this hint of worry arises, I am afraid it will be a divine war, and it will be a posture of the gods beating one by one. At that time, even the Lord of Guardians will not be able to come forward to protect him, and the confrontation related to faith will really have nothing to do with this one.

As for those who put their ideas into the money deposited in the kingdom of the goddess of gold coins, thinking about how to lend it and repay the debt in the future, not to mention the kind of money. Not to mention those aristocratic lords who clearly asked for those money, with a face of beating people to death if they didn't give money, Lin Ke endured his disgust and still refused it.

The reason is also very simple, the operation process of the bank is actually like operating an ATM (automated teller machine) on the earth. Except for the person who deposited and withdrew the money, no other living person will handle the money.

Since there are no living people to handle it, there is no room for operation. The unruly operation of blocking the door and collecting taxes was also suppressed and dealt with by Keyin early.

The business of banks in other places has been promoted for so long, don't the aristocrats who opened this mouth know? But even if they knew, they still couldn't help but ask more when they met the gold coin goddess divine envoy. I don't know if I'll have a chance to reach out.

But the nobles didn't just ask for it, they also wanted a guarantee.

Since the promotion of the bank of the goddess of gold coins, there have also been cases where the lord has reversed himself afterwards and forced the bank that has already started business. But with the World Tree and the Wood Elf Tribe as backers, Ke Yin is not a bare-bones commander who is useless, and he is directly pressed by the elven army.

The elves who can be assigned by the World Tree are not the kind of rookies who have just left the tribe to experience. Proficiency in martial arts is the most basic, and military formation coordination is also proficient, coupled with the weapons and equipment produced by the World Tree, that is a god costume and abuse!

The most important thing is that the elven army attacked, only wounded, not killed. Such a request is not difficult for these warlike elves, but it is not pleasing to be a hostile party.

It's just that the soldier is dead. If it's just an injury, can you save it? After being rescued, Ann will not arrange for treatment and care? Let these people moan in pain, is there still morale in the territory? Especially if these people didn't die, who beat them? The goddess of gold coins belongs, and the prestige of the elven task force is out.

After all, this team is not permanent, and it comes and disappears suddenly. If it weren't for the wounded soldiers left behind, others would really think it was a dream. Therefore, the contact between the nobles and the goddess of gold coins is also to touch the bottom of this team.

Let's try it soon, everyone. 】

As for buying Yunyun, no nobleman ever thought about it. Think about the armies that have been built on theocracy in the past, which one is not troublesome? This is true even today. So everybody is on guard.

If it weren't for the fact that banks were indeed a good thing, this elusive army alone would make it difficult for people to sleep and eat.
