Chapter 1425: On the Way to the Banquet

How should a magician dress up when attending a nobleman's banquet?

A: Generally, it is good to pretend. Because high-level magic equipment, especially magic robes, will have a lot of magic effects attached to them, there will usually be a lot of magic accessories on them.

For example, the exquisitely carved magic stone is no less gorgeous than a gemstone; Or use special silk threads to embroider magic formations on the robes. It can be said that a sufficiently powerful robe will have more layers than the luxurious silk down dress of the nobility.

Conclusion: Magicians can wear robes to the banquets of nobles, not because the robe is fashionable enough, but simply because the robe is 'expensive' enough. The price of some robes will also make the little nobles jaw-dropping. Therefore, no one can say that it is quite rude to wear a robe.

If only any nobleman dared to say that he was disgusted. It is estimated that you will get such a response: Come on, come on, try whether the old man's fireball is hot.

Therefore, there is no problem in wearing a robe to attend a nobleman's banquet. Someone thought to himself.

Even though she is a voter of the goddess of gold coins, she can go out in a suit that is considered a bank uniform, but it is also considered a formal attire. ——

If the robe of the divine envoy is disliked by the nobles, think about the fate of the magician. This time, it may be that the big boss behind the divine envoy came forward and issued an oracle: Come on, come on, try if my holy light is bright.

- But this time it can be regarded as a Hongmen banquet, and it is more reassuring than a suit without any protection, or a Xuanwu robe.

It's just that the Xuanwu robe doesn't study the divinity it contains, just from the appearance, it is just an ordinary black robe. Even the basalt pattern is woven with black thread, which can only be seen from a special angle under certain conditions.

Now, he wears a box cut with him, but at most he wears the bead chain belt that Kenmaru disguised. Of course, it is impossible to bring the two murder weapons of Khan and the Wheel of Years into a banquet.

Although some aristocratic banquets are as dangerous as the swords and swords on the battlefield. But there are some basic requirements, such as not carrying weapons – or items that are clearly weapons – ,—— attending banquets. Because if there are no such restrictions, everyone will become angry if they don't agree with each other, and it won't be long before the nobles of the lost land will be extinct.

But in order to make the Xuanwu robe look less shabby, the box cutting sword pills were divided into parts, and the formation of the Xuanwu Seven Nights was arranged on the robe. It happens to be embedded in the diagram of the integration of the snake and turtle, and it is in line with a certain truth.

Of course, outsiders couldn't see that this formation originated from other worlds, and Lin didn't deliberately connect every star with a line. As a result, in the eyes of others, a certain magician was wearing a black robe, and there were metal beads on the black robe. Looks...... Actually, it's the same soil.

After thinking about it, Lin finally gave up on the idea of improving his appearance. Anyway, this time it was said that he was participating in the aristocratic banquet, in addition to the expected risks, he was not the protagonist this time, and Her Majesty the Empress was.

At best, he is just a guard, and he is not in the calculation of others in the first place. So no matter what you wear, no one should care.

Someone who thought so was waiting at the door of the State Guest House. When the carriage arrived, Lin showed a slightly surprised look. This carriage was not the royal carriage used before, but a more ornate imperial carriage for the emperor.

Don't look at the difference between 'royal family' and 'emperor's royal', the luxury and protection functions between the two are completely far away. However, it is true that the carriage used by the royal family can be used to receive state guests; But the carriage used by the emperor is not allowed to be used by anyone except the emperor.

Combined with the pomp and circumstance of the front and rear escort knights of the carriage, the only explanation is ......

After opening the car door, the empress smiled and beckoned to someone.

And so it was.

Someone got into the car with peace of mind and sat down with the empress. When I realized that I was the only one who was the guest, I couldn't help but ask, "Is this a formal banquet?" Didn't invite the Prince? ”

Prince Thomas, the legal husband of the Empress, is a standard accessory for public appearances. Although such a statement is very rude, such superficial couples are not uncommon among the aristocracy. Anyway, because of the combination of political interests, everyone plays their own games in private.

If you are going to participate in public, you usually bring your significant other with you to avoid speculation about whether the alliance between the two parties has become weak. Every move of the nobles will be magnified and interpreted. It was Lin who asked.

But the empress just sat dignifiedly, stretched out her hand and wrapped her hair around her sideburns, and said, "I want to find him." Unfortunately, if I hadn't made a reservation a few days in advance, or had an early schedule, I wouldn't have had a hard time seeing him. Today's invitation is so sudden, and it's normal to find no one. As for the perception of others, it can't be worse anyway, can it? ”

"But from what I've observed, it doesn't seem to be like that. He's jealous of the men who appear next to you. And the reason why he has a cold attitude towards you is actually like an arrogant performance that he wants to attract you, but he is unwilling to succumb to the upper hand in this relationship. ”

"Tsundere performance? What do you mean? The Empress was puzzled by the fact that there was no such thing as a fan, and asked. After Lin explained what Tsundere meant, she smiled instead: "No, haha, it's definitely not like this." The man didn't have any feelings for me, he just wanted more out of me. ”

"Get more?" Lin thought of a possibility and asked, "Could it be because you choked his money bag?" ”

Smiling slyly, Alegria said, "Maybe that's right." Why did you guess so accurately? ”

"There is a saying in my hometown that money is a hero's courage. If the financial power is grasped, no matter how high the skill is, there is nothing that can be done. It's just that you really covered him to death and didn't give him a penny? ”

"How is this possible?" The empress said with a smile: "He still has a rule to withdraw." If you just want more, you have to start with me. Because I didn't have this opportunity, he would show that jealous attitude towards every man who came close to me. ”

Seeing the empress's calm expression, Lin couldn't help but ask again: "You really have no relationship with that person?" ”

Alegria did not answer directly, but said something else. "Do you know when I started to get disappointed in that man? ”

Although the topic turned a little stiffly, Lin still followed the words and asked, "Since when?" ”

"From our wedding night, he patted his chest and assured me that I would leave everything to him and that I would not have to worry about anything."

"Wow, that sounds bad."

"yes. Leave everything to him and I don't have to worry about anything. At that time, I had just been crowned emperor, and I was in high spirits. He and the people of his family couldn't help but jump out, intending to accept all this power. The same thing followed one after another until I was completely disappointed. ”

After the beginning of the words, Alegria seemed to be unhappy, and then said:

"At first, I thought that this marriage was a cooperation between the two parties. It didn't occur to them that they only needed me to be a woman and take over the rest. It's as if I can't do anything but have children. But the real truth is funnier than that delusion, because I can't even have children. Ha! Hahaha. ”

The laughter was full of sadness. Lin couldn't help it for a while, and hugged the person into his arms. The hysterical laughter came to an abrupt end. After a long time, Allegria suddenly said, "It's okay, the makeup will be broken." ”

Lin then let the people go. It's just that he didn't think to say anything comforting, and the empress returned to the original topic. He stroked his hair and said, "Anyway, don't think that the man still has any affection for me." All he looked at was a woman with the Emperor's crown and wanted the scepter in her hand. As for who the woman was, it didn't matter to him. ”

"Didn't that one try to change this situation at all?" Lin asked.

"Although I know that in such an environment, it is a very stupid thing to find love. But if you can't do even the most basic reciprocity, then there is no basis for cooperation, right? Even if it's just a one-time trade, you should come up with the right chips. Instead of giving a small favor, he delusionally wants others to return with pearls. So, I'm grateful to you. ”

Lin was a little caught off guard by this unexpected twist. But he scratched his head and asked, "What are you grateful for?" ”

"You're the first to come to my aid in a long time."

"Not really. Your past partners, they didn't work very hard. Lin knew that the comrades-in-arms of the former warrior Keno were now holding various positions in the empire. is not necessarily in a high position, but they are all key positions, and they work together to maintain her dignity as an emperor.

"I know, and I know it. They were all trying to pull me away from falling deeper into the abyss. But that's not enough. If I want to climb out, I don't see a single possibility with them alone. ”

As she said this, Alegria looked at the gradually darkening street scene outside the carriage, and her eyes were a little hollow. But when she turned her head and looked at someone, her eyes seemed to regain their looks, and the sparkling color of her lips looked so bright in a smile. "Your presence has given me a little hope. This is something that no one else can give me. ”

"Well, in fact, you should know that I am mainly doing the work of the goddess of gold coins, so I just help you by the way."

"yes, of course I do. But there are a lot of people you can choose to work with, and I won't be the most suitable one. But you did it anyway. Whatever the reason, I'm grateful to you. It's just that now I can't give you anything back. ”

Lin shook his head and said, "I don't need anything extra in return. The smooth implementation of the bank of the goddess of gold coins is my main purpose. You are willing to support this, and that is enough. What you should do now is focus on what's next. ”

As someone spoke, his eyes were on the carriage and above the palace of Prince Bejar. There is a black cloud of power that means ominous, hovering over the mansion. This is a sight that ordinary people cannot see, and the movement of power generally does not say anything. But this kind of whirlpool of black clouds is the first time someone has seen it.
