On the morning of February 17th, Xia Lin came to the door of Longmian Palace in advance, and after being reported by the captain of the palace guard, a palace attendant quickly walked out of the interior of Longmian Palace, and when he saw Xia Lin, he looked at Xia Lin's mage robe and asked:

"Excuse me, is this the mage who came to collect the magic equipment? I'm Fein Scotto, and I've been sent here to meet you by Chief Squire Babbitt, so please show me the token of Archmage Agnes!"

"Yes, I'm Charlene Karl, as for the token? Are you referring to this letterhead?"

Xia Lin used to enter the Dragon Sleeping Palace only by showing the token given to him by the imperial daughter, this was the first time he had encountered this kind of situation that required verification of the token, and he took out the letterhead sent by the crow Mercury from the sleeve pocket of the mage robe and asked.

"Yes, please come with me in the carriage! Before heading to the Royal Treasury to pick up the magical equipment you want, His Majesty Pulit wants to meet you and see which mage has received the praise of the five archmages of the court!"

The attendant named Fein took the special material letterhead, carefully examined the gold edge on it, nodded and returned it to Xia Lin, bowed slightly to Xia Lin, and then stretched out his hand to lead the way.

"Your Majesty?"

Unexpectedly, he had not waited for Emperor Plitt to be summoned because of muskets and artillery, as well as steel-making technology, to meet him in this situation, and Xia Lin followed this attendant with some surprise.

Seeing that Xia Lin was indeed the one waiting for the palace attendants, the palace guards on both sides of the gate of Longmian Palace also moved out of the way.

Led by this court attendant, Xia Lin got into a carriage with a sumptuous royal coat of arms and marched to the north side of the Longmian Palace.

This direction is where the main palace of Longmian Palace is located, and it is quite far away from the Anti Palace located on the west side of Longmian Palace that he used to go to, and if you don't take a carriage, it will take a lot of time just to walk.

"Your Excellency Master Xia Lin, the Winter Palace has arrived, please get out of the car!"

Eventually, the carriage drove slowly to the northernmost part of Longmian Palace, in front of a manor-shaped palace adjacent to the Seine River.

Xia Lin got out of the carriage under the guidance of his attendants, and suddenly felt a spring-like warmth, in such temperatures, the gardens on both sides of the road were blooming with all kinds of flowers in reverse seasons, just like the gardens of Anti Palace.

In order to create the scene they wanted, to show their power and majesty, the nobles and royalty did not hesitate to devote valuable resources to such places.

Xia Lin estimated that this manor, which covers an area of at least more than 10,000 square meters, also needs at least a thousand heating rune disks to work together to create such a pleasant climate, although the magic power consumption of the heating technique is not high, but at the end of the day, it will definitely completely consume the magic power equivalent to all the magic power in more than forty magic stones.

Xia Lin really didn't know what to say about this luxury, so he followed the guidance of Finn's attendant and continued to walk towards the palace, and finally stopped at the door of a reception room.

Squire Fein whispered a few words to a middle-aged squire at the door who was wearing a similar black and white squire uniform, and the middle-aged squire glanced at Xia Lin unexpectedly, nodded and said:

"Finn, step aside, and I'll take Master Charlem Karl in to meet His Majesty Prit."

"Yes!"

Finn replied respectfully with a slight bend, and then the middle-aged attendant looked at Xia Lin and saluted and said:

"Your Excellency Master Xia Lin, I am the chief chamberlain of His Majesty the Emperor, Babbitt Louiene, I didn't expect to see you in this situation, I believe Your Majesty will also be a little surprised, please come with me!"

After speaking, the chief chamberlain of Babbitt led Xia Lin into the reception room.

Facing the direction of the Seine River, this reception room can be seen through the balcony on the east side, with a view of the endless boats coming and going on the Seine River.

On the balcony, Charin met the holder of the highest power in the empire, Sassen XVII Pulit Ahlika.

As the supreme power holder of the empire, Prit has the same golden pair as Queen Dorothy

's twin children, but what is revealed in these eyes is not majesty, but tiredness that is difficult to hide.

Obviously in a pleasant temperature, his lower body was covered with a blanket of fine texture and beautiful eucalyptus, which looked like a patient who had just recovered from a serious illness.

And beside him, in addition to the attendants, there was also a woman with a cold temperament and wearing a mage's robe.

The woman had a pair of gray phoenix eyes, and her long silver hair, which was as beautiful as moonlight, spread out behind her like a waterfall, revealing a pair of slightly sharp ears, which seemed to have some elven blood.

When she saw Xia Lin, she only greeted him slightly, and then took a sip of the turquoise sencha in the silver cup by herself.

"Your Majesty, this is the Mage Charin Karl you want to see!"

"Your Majesty the Emperor, may the sun's brilliance shroud you forever!"

After Babbitt's chief attendant introduced his identity, Charin gave a mage salute to Emperor Plitt and sent his own greetings.

"Charlem Karl? I think I've heard this name somewhere, oh I see, you seem to have the same name as the Charlem Karl who invented muskets and cannons?"

Emperor Plitt was not in a good state, his faintly bloodshot eyes looked a little cloudy, and when he heard Xia Lin's name, he thought for a moment before reacting, and asked in some surprise.

"No, Your Majesty, if you're talking about muskets and cannons, that Charin Karl is me!"

Xia Lin noticed this, and suddenly felt a little worried in his heart, but he still replied first.

"Is that Charlem Carr you? Archmage Agnes, I never imagined that the mage you were talking about who was qualified to pick a piece of magical equipment from the royal treasury was the new weapon that I had brought with me, as well as the all-important new steel smelting technology!"

Emperor Plitt looked at Xia Lin's immature face with surprise on his face, and then said to the woman next to him with some surprise.

Only then did Xia Lin know that this was the Archmage Agnes Fredetrika who had sent him the journal Runes and Magic.

"Your Majesty, I think you didn't see the list submitted by the editors of our Journal Runes & Magic for some unavoidable reason, and we did write the name of the first Mage Charlem Karl to receive the royal reward."

In the face of Emperor Plit's exclamation, Archmage Agnes put down the silver cup in his hand and explained in a surging voice, which made Emperor Plitt suddenly look at his chief attendant:

"Is that so? Babbitt?"

"I think so, Your Majesty, I did receive a letter from the archmages of Runes and Magic, but you have been cultivating in the Winter Palace for some time, so you didn't deal with it."

"I see, but this is also a surprise, I didn't expect that Master Xia Lin can not only be quite successful in the field of magic, but also use his wisdom to create these useful things, worthy of my daughter Dorothea's attention.

Babbitt, please let Master Charin sit next to us!"

Hearing the words of his chief attendant, Emperor Plitt seemed to have a heroic sadness in his expression, but when he saw Xia Lin who was still waiting on the side, he still barely cheered up a little, showed a smile and said:

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Xia Lin sat down at the round table as Babbitt's chief attendant guided him, and greeted Archmage Agnes with a slight bow.

"Master Charlin, Dorothea has told me something about you, paper, steelmaking, muskets and cannons, these are all things you created, I wanted to summon you, but this time it's just right."

Emperor Prit raised his right hand as he spoke, and Babbitt willingly asked the maid on the side to come forward and pour fragrant tea for Xia Lin.

However, from Emperor Plit's words, Xia Lin realized that Emperor Plit's current physical condition is definitely not as good as it looks on the outside, and he is afraid that he is already in a state of dying life

Most of the control of intelligence has been lost.

Xia Lin thought that he could find a lot of things by simply investigating his own affairs.

For example, cakes, new spinning machines and looms, the Star Blue Industrial Park, etc., with the existence of Carl's lab, it is easy to associate him with the connection between industrial development and magic research.

But Emperor Plitt didn't seem to know anything about these things.

This can only show one point, that is, Emperor Plitt's physical condition no longer allows him to deal with too many affairs, which has led to him now basically losing his ability to understand and control the outside world.

This discovery made Xia Lin feel a considerable sense of urgency in his heart, and he immediately made a decision in his heart to continue to strengthen the training of the new army, so that this army could be made combat effective as soon as possible, and ready to deal with the chaos after the death of Emperor Pullet.

"It is an honour to be summoned by His Majesty, and I would like to thank His Majesty for allowing me to cooperate with the Royal Academy of Magic to train graduate students! Help us go further on the path of magical research!"

Burying these complicated thoughts in the bottom of his heart, Xia Lin replied.

"Graduate students? That's not something worth mentioning, but I'm glad to see a young talent like you create new horizons for the Empire, and it's a good thing to give you some support.

But Master Charlin, I want to ask you a question, what do you think of Dorothy?"

Thinking for a moment with his head resting on the cushion of the seat, Emperor Plitt remembered that there was indeed such a thing as a graduate student, nodded and said with a smile, but his next question made Xia Lin feel terrified.

For example, if the superior's superior's asks him about his superior's opinion, if he doesn't handle it well, it is easy to offend both parties at the same time, although Emperor Pulit asked casually, but Xia Lin immediately attached great importance to this issue.
