This scene is very weird.

A white-robed ** master put on the most flattering and most dog-legged appearance and threw himself at the emperor's feet - Duo Duoluo didn't know that he had set another record at this moment: no white-robed ** master had ever been so flattering and humble to people!

Even if there were some white-clothed ** masters in history, when they encountered a nobler and more powerful existence than themselves, they would never grovel to the point where Tataro is now! They actually knelt at the feet of people, and they almost kissed each other's boots! Such a gesture is simply a shame for the entire magical world!!

And what Emperor Garcia didn't know was that he inadvertently broke a record: among the emperors of the Byzantine Empire, there has never been an emperor who has enjoyed this kind of treatment from him, and he actually let a white-clothed ** master prostrate at his feet! Such a majesty, the founding emperor has never enjoyed it, and the emperors of the past dynasties have never enjoyed it, but it has fallen on Garcia, a puppet emperor who is extremely weak, which has to be said to be a wonderful irony.

Tataro had already begun to speak with a handful of snot and tears.

Yes, as you can see, I am a magician, and with the blessing of the gods, I have now advanced to become a white-clothed mage. Oh no, no, no, it doesn't matter, what matters is that I have always wanted to serve His Majesty from the bottom of my heart! Yes, this is what I have always dreamed of in my heart! Even when I have experienced the most dangerous encounters in the wildfires, when I am fighting the horse thieves who come and go like the wind and killing without blinking, when I am fighting the filthy and cunning jīngs, when I am fighting the irascible dwarves, even when I am slaughtering that terrible dragon- Even at the most critical juncture of my life, this desire in my heart has not diminished for a moment! Your Majesty, I should come to you and give you all my strength!!"

Todoro's application confession made Garcia almost dizzy.

But fortunately, Garcia is not a fool, and in Dodoro's words, the emperor is very keen to capture several important messages!

Fought with horse thieves, fought with the ground jīng, and fought with the dwarves...... Oh my God! He slaughtered dragons?!

Obviously, this obscene-looking guy in front of him has a strong strength that he doesn't want to match his appearance!

A powerful magician...... But he knelt before himself and swore allegiance to himself?!!!

Garcia's heart immediately swelled with a warm flame, as if he had won the jackpot, and he stared at the white-clothed mage in front of him with wide eyes.

The Emperor swallowed hard and said with difficulty: "Your Excellency the Magician, I don't remember that I ever had any favors on you...... A powerful white-clothed mage like you, I don't even remember seeing you. Then you ......"

"No, no, no, Your Majesty, you haven't seen me. Tatara had already jumped up, patted the dust on his white robe vigorously, but made a firm expression on his face: "But I, Dodoro, am a person with a conscience! My heart has already sworn allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor, whether I am a mortal or a white-clothed **master, such an oath will not change." ”

Garcia took a deep breath: "Your Excellency Todoro, I still don't understand, you ......"

"Your Majesty!" Dodoro's affectionate call made Garcia suddenly feel that his hair stood on end, only to hear Dodoro continue to say in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, you may not know, I, Dodoro, actually lived in Dìdū back then! My ancestors used to serve the royal family in the palace and received the favor of the royal family. So, when I was very young, my parents told me that I must have a heart that is loyal to the royal family!"

Descendants of the people of the court?!

This was something Garcia didn't expect.

In fact, the palace fed many people, and not just the court attendants.

In the royal palace of Byzantium, there were two kinds of attendants, one was the close attendants, who were the close attendants of the core personnel of the imperial family, such as the emperor or empress, who were often selected to be loyal to the most stringent and not to be in any way.

In addition to these close attendants, there are some foreign servants in the court. The attendants included a variety of technicians, such as craftsmen, who were responsible for making or repairing the utensils needed for the court. These include tailors, cooks, carpenters, blacksmiths, artsmiths, and more. These people are treated quite well, while the low-level ones are low-level handymen, who specialize in doing some difficult work.

Tatara claimed that his ancestors were from the court, so it was clear that he was certainly not a close attendant. Because Garcia's information is very clear, and the management and selection are very strict.

So...... Maybe the ancestor of this magician in front of him was a craftsman in the court or something?

Dodora soon reported a name, and then Garcia, who was overjoyed, immediately sent someone to find the steward of the palace and retrieved the roster in the palace for archiving. It was a carpenter who had served in the court.

"That's my father. Tataro wiped away a handful of tears.

Tatara is not afraid of being exposed, in fact, his own background is not recorded in detail in the Magic Guild. As for the name that is being reported now, it was visited by that guy from Dax in the past few days in Dìdū, and the real owner of this name has been dead for many years, and even if it is to be traced, it will not be able to figure it out in a few days.

Even if Garcia thinks this matter is too unbelievable, he has to believe it at the moment.

The white-clothed mage in front of him really took the initiative to come to the door to be loyal to him?

It stands to reason that such a strange thing will naturally make people feel very suspicious, but now the emperor can't help but believe it.

Why?

The white-clothed mage in front of him can be a white-clothed ** master with extraordinary strength! White-clothed mages are now rare figures in the empire. Magicians have always had no interest in worldly power, so many people do not see magicians as a threat.

At the same time, Garcia really doesn't feel that his current situation has anything for the other party to plot.

The other party is a young and promising genius white-clothed ** teacher, with a bright future. And what about himself, although he is called the Emperor, in fact...... Now it's clear to everyone.

Speaking of which, he is nothing more than an emperor title than the other party, and in addition, he really has nothing stronger than this magician. Powerful? I can't get out of the palace with my current orders! Wealth? The amount of money in the palace has been reduced again and again! And the wealth of the magician is known to everyone.

As an empty puppet emperor, he really doesn't have to worry about what the other party is trying to take refuge in.

So...... Is it really God's blessing? My Krenma family's fate should not be extinguished? God sees that my situation is too difficult, so fate has arranged for such a powerful magician to come and assist him?

Garcia began to get excited, and his heart became hot, looking at Todoro's appearance, he also felt that this obscene guy seemed to be much more pleasing to the eye.

Well, it must be like this! Lately it seems that God has really favored me! I have sent General Lear, the man who is out of the same way as me, and now I have sent such a great magician!

The bishop of the church who came with Tatara almost got his nose crooked!

Is this Totara a madman? Loyalty to the Church and the Magic Guild is clear that he has a bright future! Even His Majesty the Pope appreciates him so much! But this madman is not moved at all, but he has come to serve some royal family? Don't you know that the current royal family is already in turmoil? More importantly, the relationship between the church and the royal family has never been so harmonious!

If Todora wasn't a white-clothed mage, the bishop would have scolded angrily on the spot.

I don't know what to do! I don't know how to lift!!

But where does Garcia still have the strength to care about the face of this bishop?

The emperor was overjoyed! There was finally another master by his side!

Although the mysterious middle-aged man beside him before was in the realm of a strong man, it was a pity that just before Adric's coup, he sent him to kill Adric, but he never returned...... There is not even the slightest news now. I think that Adric also has a master guard by his side, and even the strong can't solve it...... And the middle-aged man never came back, and he was afraid that he would be more than lucky.

Garcia was naturally depressed in his heart. But there is really nothing left in his hands. There are only a few hundred still loyal Imperial Guards in the court, and only the old prime minister is still loyal to the center of Dìdū, and the other ministers and nobles are afraid that they have all become grass on the wall!

And at this time, this Master Duoduoluo in front of him is even more and more precious!

Righteous Warrior!

The more he thought about it, the happier he became, and immediately opened his mouth and ordered Tatara to be the chief magician of the court and the personal magic advisor of His Majesty the Emperor.

What made the Emperor blush a little was that that was all he could give to Tatara now. For the rest, he really didn't have anything to do.

However, it was Todora who solved the emperor's embarrassment, and he made a small request: he had a friend who was a sinner who was a sinner in a big case in Dìdū, so he could not see people in his true face now.

After Garcia heard this, he waved his hand very generously: "What is this, I will write a pardon order to you in person immediately!"

Garcia naturally knew about the big case of Dìdū back then, and it was a means for the former Emperor Kantos the Great to skillfully get rid of the opposition forces in the Senate. Although the methods of Kantos the Great are bloody, in Garcia's eyes, they are just the normal skills of the emperor.

Besides, so many years have passed, and the events of that year have long been over, and the Senate is also in a slump, and there is no longer any threat. At that time, the people involved were basically dead. As for the friend that Tatara said, he was just a child back then, so what does it matter? If he is pardoned, he will be pardoned, and it is just a matter of words.

What's more, Garcia couldn't help but feel a little emotionally in his heart, even if he didn't pardon himself? The current emperor was just a puppet, and the warlords were divided everywhere, who would care about the guilt of the case back then? Even if he didn't pardon himself, people would still live well. Asking for a forgiveness now is probably just a psychological comfort.

The pardon was soon written, and the Emperor warmly invited Tatara to dinner. Toddoro gladly accepted, and the bishop of the church naturally did not have any good face, so he took his own leave and left, and when he left, he looked deeply at Todora a few times, and his eyes were far less warm and friendly than when he came.

Dodoro sighed in his heart - in fact, the Pope's guy is really good to himself, but there is no way, he came with a mission, and he is not good at hugging the emperor's thigh, how can he justifiably sneak into the palace to do things?

The guests and hosts enjoyed a dinner, and Garcia sent someone to invite Lear to dine with him. Todoro finally saw Lear, the main man, but his eyes did not change in the slightest, just a few reserved greetings. It's Lear, seeing that Dodoro is actually a white-clothed ** master, and Garcia happily announced that he has named Dodo as the chief magician of the palace, Lear, this guy is the kind of xìng who is the best at climbing up the pole, and when he meets a white-clothed ** master like Todoro, he naturally has to do his best to make friends. If this guy deliberately befriended people, he was really skillful.

This confirmed some of the conjectures that Dax had said.

"This Lear is by no means the kind of person who sits back and is willing to resign himself to fate. Until the last one, this guy will never give up, this kind of person has the ability to stir up the big right and wrong no matter where he throws it. From what I know about Lear, he must have done it deliberately when he arrived at the palace and befriended the emperor, and it would be difficult to take him away and make him obedient. This Lear is not a fool, even if we identify ourselves as Char's people, he will not follow us. He was toyed with by that woman in the palm of his hand when he was in the Besta Military Region, and now that he has deliberately befriended the emperor in Dìdū, he must have some idea, and he will definitely refuse to go back with us, and he will be a puppet in Char's hands. So......" Dax's conclusion about Lear is only one: "It is impossible for him to be obedient and follow us." It is even more difficult to snatch people from the palace that is heavily guarded and does not know if there are powerful masters guarding it. Then there's only one way to get Lear away. ”

As he remembers this, Dax's tone became strange.

"Make a big move in the palace and find a way to drag Lear into the water! We will create the biggest desperate situation for Lear, so that he can't stay in the palace! Even the emperor can't shelter him and keep him! Only when he is really in a desperate situation, will he obediently listen to us and go with us!"

※※※ While Dodoro was in the palace and Garcia and Lear were pushing and changing glasses, Dax was not idle.

Despite the war, the dock area was quickly rebuilt - simply because the port had to transport aid from a large fleet of Landisians.

The former bustling port trade market has now been transformed into a huge military port, and the lively scene of the street full of flags of various chambers of commerce is no longer visible.

At this moment, only a few chambers of commerce in the port market area have opened their doors to do business, and they are purely in contact with the government, responsible for handling the deployment of some materials transported by sea.

Among them, the best business is undoubtedly the Gallensian Chamber of Commerce.

Now everyone knows that this Gallens Chamber of Commerce has a deep background in the Landis Kingdom, and even the former leader of the Gallens Chamber of Commerce in Byzantium, the fat man named Guluo, is basically the official person of the Landis Kingdom - when the rebels occupied Osgillia, the battle of Landis's navy to capture the port, the Gallens Chamber of Commerce and that Guro made a lot of efforts to deal with it. Afterwards, their Landis background was naturally no longer able to hide.

But even so, the Gallensian Chamber of Commerce, which is almost openly Lantian tentacles, is still very nourishing in Dìdū. Because at present the Byzantine Empire zhōngyāng is simply inseparable from the assistance of the Landis.

And that Guro has already left Osgilia to report back, and it is said that that guy has been promoted because of his performance, and has become a core high-level official of the Intelligence Inspectorate of the Kingdom of Landis.

Now the person in charge of the Gallens Chamber of Commerce in early Osgillia is a guy who has just been sent from the Landis country, but I don't know if this is a tradition or a coincidence of the intelligence system of the Landis Kingdom, and the person in charge sent this time, like his predecessor Gu Luo, is actually a fat man.

The fat man's name was Goethe -- the same name as one of the great poets of history. But this Goethe is by no means a gentleman, it is said that he transferred from the army system of the Landis Kingdom, and he is a murderous and ruthless guy!

And now, this ruthless guy is sitting across the table from Dax, but there is a dejected expression on his originally resolute and ruthless face, and it seems that the eyes looking at Dax are a little evasive.

It was Dax, who honestly and unceremoniously held the cup and gulped down the wine, and after pouring a full pot, Dax slapped the cup, glared and said loudly: "Goethe, you are talking! You have become like that sissy of Guro?"

Goethe sighed, looked at Dax with a pleading look in his eyes, and muttered, "That ...... man, what do you want me to say......? It's so hard to do it, I don't have that kind of permission at all! No! You're just crazy, I can't agree to such a thing even if I have permission...... Even if I help you send the news back to China, those old guys in the General Administration will never agree. You know, now that guy Gu Luo has become our boss, he is the most cautious, if I ask him for instructions with your request, that guy will definitely not agree. ”

Dax squinted his eyes, "Who said you were asked to ask for instructions?"

After a pause, Dax said in a low voice: "You are also the leader of the town here now, and you are considered a prince, how can you do things after asking the above for instructions on everything?

"!" Goethe was so angry that he couldn't help but raise his tone: "You're asking me to help you hijack ......"

He quickly lowered his voice and glanced at Dax again: "I would never dare to agree to such a thing." ”

Dax was not in a hurry, but counted his fingers, and then whispered slowly: "Eleven years ago, in Pokel Bay, someone was tied to an anchor by those pirates and thrown into the sea, who helped to catch it? Nine years ago in Odin, someone exposed his identity in Odin and offended those barbarian tribes, who single-handedly rushed in to save people. Seven years ago, someone robbed a woman with the prince's son, and was almost framed and lost his office, and who helped collect the prince's incriminating evidence and brought down that old bastard to restore you to your official position......?

Goethe blushed: "Okay, okay, you can keep your mouth shut." ”

He shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Damn, I knew you would mention this...... You've saved my life six times and helped me eleven times, and if it weren't for you, I'd be doomed by now. I owe you too much, okay!" Goethe said hatefully: "Damn, you also slept with my sister, but later broke up with her, why didn't you mention this account?"

Dax's expression couldn't help but be a little sneering, and he laughed in a low voice: "Isn't that sister of yours a hundred times happier than someone like me when she later married the Marquis...... Alas. ”

Goethe raised his eyelids and glanced at Dax, and suddenly his expression became solemn: "**Husband, we are friends...... Maybe in your heart, you never had friends. But I've always considered you a friend. ”

"Hmm. Dax nodded.

Goethe's tone was more serious: "I know a little bit about your mission, and the above sent you to Byzantium to let you do some trouble. You chose Char Thundering, go to his side, you have done enough of these rì people. But you seem to have forgotten who you are, are you really planning to follow Char Leiming that guy for your life? Don't forget, you ...... after all."

"I'm not from Landis. Dax shook his head slowly, "So you don't have to talk to me about allegiance or something." I joined the General Intelligence Agency in Lantis, you know why, but I was just interested in the goal of bringing down the Byzantine royal family. The guy who is most likely to do this right now is Char Thundering. As for Landis...... Truth be told, I've worked hard enough for Lantis over the years. All in all, I've done enough to make me a Marquis and Earl or something, but I've never really gotten up there, you know why. ”

"I ...... Know. Goethe sighed in a low voice: "Landis, after all, it is not your homeland. Then he raised his pitch and looked at Dax: "But...... Is Byzantium your homeland?!Don't forget your origins, **husband!"

Dax's smile became a little weird: "I know, Landis is not my homeland. Byzantium is no longer the same!So, I'm following the boss of Char Thundering now, just so that one day in the future ......"

He suddenly lowered his voice very low, but the words he said moved Goethe on the spot.

“...... One day in the future, I can follow that guy and build a 'motherland' that truly belongs to me with my own hands!"

※※※“......”

Listening to Dax's words, Goethe was silent for a long time, and after taking a long sip of wine, he let out a long breath before he smiled bitterly: "I confirmed it after hearing you say this...... That new boss of yours, Char Leiming, really has such a mind? Build a new ...... Country?"

"I don't know, maybe he doesn't yet. Dax shrugged: "But even if he doesn't now, when he continues to move forward, he will always come to that point." When the time comes, tens of millions of people will look at him, and they can't help but make such a choice. ”

He glanced at Goethe: "After all that, will you help me?"

"You...... Your request is too hard. Goethe whispered: "You are no longer from the General Administration. The GAO has crossed you off the roster. Although it was not announced that you were a defector, ......"

"What, are you going to shake me and go back to receive merit?"

"Of course not. Goethe smiled: "We also cooperated with Char Leiming, and part of the credit for the promotion of that guy Guro is that he has a good relationship with your boss." Your stay with Char Thundering will also be good for the cooperation between the two of us. After all, with the rise of Char Thundering, our Gallens Chamber of Commerce has made a lot of efforts, and the current investment will always need to be rewarded in the future. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, do you or not!" Dax slapped the table fiercely: "This is also an opportunity for you! Do a big job, make a great achievement, and then you can be knighted when you go back! Goethe, you are not too young, don't you want to make a good contribution, you can become a nobleman after you go back, and retire in the future for a few years to be stable?"

"But what did you say...... It's too hard. ”

"It's not difficult at all!" Dax's eyes flashed with jīng, and he sneered a few times: "Now the situation in Dìdū is deadlocked here. Adric seized power, and the emperor became a puppet. The Duke of Minas in the South divided the territory, and the three parties formed a wonderful balance. But it seems to me that this balance is actually very easy to break! just break this balance and make dìdū mess up again...... So ......"

"It's easier said than done. Goethe frowned: "The Duke of Minas in the south will not openly rebel. Emperor Garcia became a puppet, and Adric's position was solid. Now he was preparing to send troops to fight the rebels, and as long as he won one or two more wars, and his prestige became stronger and stronger, the emperor would have no choice but to take him at all. ”

"The method I said is to make the Duke of Minas and Dìdū turn against each other and completely tear their faces!" Dax smiled: "Actually, the little emperor is not really helpless with Adric now, after all, he is the emperor, and not long after the death of Emperor Kantos, the prestige of the first emperor is deep, and it is not so easy for Adric to completely suppress the prestige of the royal family." It's just that the little emperor doesn't seem to have the courage to argue with Adric, and after being scared a few times, he coaxed. As long as we create an opportunity to drive the emperor to a dead end, and force the Duke of Minas against him, the emperor will have to fight to the death. Then ......"

"What do you want to do?!" Goethe said in a deep voice: "I know that your Char Thundering boss has a bad relationship with Adrick......! Your boss ......"

"He's naturally annoyed. Dax shook his head: "But in the long run, he wants to thank me, and the entire Northern Army, those who are really smart will thank me for doing this." Adric ...... It has long become a shackle around Char Leiming's neck. ”

"Okay. Goethe sighed: "You want the little emperor Garcia to suddenly have the courage to fight Adric." You want the Duke of Minas to break with Dìdū immediately, but ...... Minas and Adric are not fools! That little emperor is not a fool, how can you let you do it?"

"It's simple. In this whole thing, there is one of the biggest weaknesses, others don't see this fate, but I see it clearly. Dax smiled slightly: "This fateful gate is one person! As long as this person is dealt with, then the current stalemate and balance between the three parties will be completely turned upside down!"

"Who?" Goethe frowned and thought for a long time, then said tentatively, "Is it ...... You're talking about the Queen?"

"It's not. Dax smiled: "Although the queen is the daughter of the Minas family, she is only a woman after all, and in the game of politics, women are always the lightest." ”

Dax's face was suddenly a little strange, and he muttered in a low voice: "If Lao Tzu really touched that woman, I'm afraid that someone will really chase me for tens of thousands of miles...... Well, that guy, think he's doing something hidden, when others don't know...... Hmph, I don't know how to wipe my mouth when I steal it. ”

"Who is this person you are talking about?" Goethe was genuinely curious.

※※※ The dinner at the palace had just ended, but Garcia was still in good spirits, and had a bottle of treasured wine open and taste it with Lear and Todoro.

And at this moment, the attendants beside him walked in from outside the dining room, came to the emperor's side and whispered, "Your Majesty...... Lord David is here, and he wants to see you say hello. ”

As soon as he heard this name, Garcia's eyes immediately became a little darker, his face was also ugly, he glanced at this attendant, frowned, and said, "I'm feasting, let him go to the queen to say hello." ”

The attendant hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, "Lord David is from the Queen. According to the etiquette of the court, today is a prayer, and he prayed for Your Majesty and Her Royal Highness the Empress during the day, so come and say hello at night, Your Majesty, you see ......"

Although the emperor's face was ugly, he finally took a deep breath and said coldly: "Let him in." ”

A moment later, a child who looked no more than five or six years old walked in through the door, dressed in the service of a well-cut aristocratic young man, who looked quite handsome, and was accompanied by a court etiquette teacher.

As soon as the boy entered the door, he bowed to the emperor from afar, greeted him in a crisp voice, and then stood up in a proper manner. Garcia's face was obviously impatient, but he still patiently comforted the child, and then asked the court etiquette teacher to take the child away.

It was not until the people left that the emperor snorted coldly: "......Son of a traitor! I ......"

Speaking of this, Garcia suddenly closed his mouth, looked at Lear and Dodoro in front of him, and smiled reluctantly: "Both, I'm a little drunk, so let's get here first." ”

With that, the Emperor got up and left, and Lear and Tatara immediately got up to see each other off.

When the Emperor left, Lear glanced at Tatara and smiled, "Your Excellency the Magician, I can't imagine that I can meet such an outstanding person as you, I must invite you to drink with you, and please be sure to enjoy the light." ”

Dodora smiled slightly and said, "General Lear is polite, since you are interested, why don't we continue to drink two glasses, I still have some drinks." ”

Lear immediately laughed and said, "That's a good idea, I'm thinking about it too!"

One of the two is deliberately acquainted, and the other is deliberately close, naturally **, and it will be hot in a moment.

Todora asked casually, "I don't know who that kid was just now...... I heard that His Majesty the Emperor does not have a son yet, and I don't know if that child is ......"

When Lear heard this, he just smiled: "Oh, that's Little Lord David, but it's not His Majesty's prince, but ...... His identity is not worse than that of the prince. ”

"Oh?"

Lear continued to laugh, "Yes, he has a surname that is now extremely prominent...... His full name is probably David Minas. ”

Sure enough, Dodoro made a moving expression: "Minas, could it be that he is a child of the Minas family?"

"Exactly. Lear laughed, "That child's grandfather is the old Duke of Minas, and his father is Lord Roddy, but I heard that he is an illegitimate child." It was only when the Duke of Minas resurrected that he straightened the child and made him the heir of the family, and then sent him to the palace as a hostage. Speaking of this, Lear laughed in a low voice: "Do you think, his father is Roddy, his grandfather is the Duke of Minas, the Empress is his aunt, and His Majesty the Emperor is his brother-in-law, isn't this status not prominent enough?"

Tataro smiled: "Yes, yes, it is indeed a very prominent status." But......" He hesitated slightly: "But His Majesty's attitude towards him ......"

"Haha, honorable Lord Tatara, you are a magician, and I don't think you know much about these things in the world. Lear smiled: "Right now, the Duke of Minas is in the south, and His Majesty the Emperor is a little ...... That one...... Mustard's. And our emperor, His Majesty, everyone inside and outside the palace knows that his relationship with the empress is not good. Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor was disgusted as soon as he heard the name Minas, and naturally he did not have a good face for this child. It's just that there is still the queen by his side, and the Duke of Minas has several counties and tens of thousands of soldiers in the south, so he can't bear it. ”

`
