Chapter 261: Your Names Are So Strange!
For Lu Baiyan, Xu Shi's perception has always been good.
The main thing is that this kid gives him a bit like Qi Maoyang, a good brother in the City of Night Sin, a little bad but not much, and he is a very likable character here.
Coupled with the fact that he and Luo Yu seem to be inseparable, it is even more of a plus.
"Land Knight."
So even if this invitation was a little abrupt, he didn't really save the other party's face, and nodded politely, "Did Your Excellency invite me yourself, or did you invite me on behalf of the Holy See?" ”
"I'm here with the Knights, of course, on behalf of the Holy See."
Lu Baiyan still smiled, but there was a little imperceptible regret in his tone, "However, if Mr. Xu is willing to come to my house to sit in the future, it will be even better." ”
Well?
This attitude made Xu Shi feel interesting, and he always felt that he seemed to be a little reluctant?
But after a little thought, it is clear - everyone knows that his relationship with the Holy See is definitely not good, at least the Holy See is well aware of this situation.
But the value of his own body is very great, whether it is the recent Poseidon Stone incident, or the earlier various equipment technologies, it must have gradually spread now...... Now that the royal family has taken the first step, even if the Holy See is unwilling, it is impossible to choose to give up without contact, which is the most unfavorable for them.
So the question is, who will be sent to be this guide boy?
There are not many people in the Holy See who have dealt with Xu Shi, and it is definitely not possible to simply send someone who has never known each other before, it seems too blunt...... But in addition, there are only Luo Yuqin Yiyan and Lu Baiyan left, and if he wants to say it, he has also met the saintess, but the identity of the other party is there, and it is too low to let her invite someone.
Luo Yu and Qin Yiyan were more or less on the holiday with him, and in the end, this task seemed to be only capable of Lu Baiyan.
Hey, a lot of twists and turns.
Xu Shi couldn't help but complain in his heart, and he could only say that this kind of doorway to treat people would not be absent no matter where he was.
Then Lu Baiyan's reluctance is easy to understand - he is not familiar with Xu Shi again, and it is not to the extent of patting his shoulder and calling him a brother, but this matter is very easy to mess up, it is actually difficult to say whether Xu Shi sells face or not, and once he refuses, he will have to carry this pot Lu Baiyan in the end.
In fact, from the relationship between him and Luo Yu, it can be seen from time to time that the Templars are by no means monolithic, and there is intrigue and intrigue ...... Thinking about it this way, Lu Baiyan's unhappiness is not so much aimed at himself, but rather unhappy with being pushed out to do this kind of thankless work.
As for the invitation he receives...... It's hard to say whether it's sincere or polite.
Thanks to being a good talker, otherwise this guy would have a headache.
Naturally, the carriage that came to pick him up was also exquisite, and he once again got into the main carriage - but it was not as comfortable as Cheng Gujian's carriage, and the carriage of the Holy See looked gorgeous, but it was a bit simple inside.
Xu Shi remembered that he had turned a few pages of their texts before, and it seemed that he was following some kind of hard practice...... In that case, what is the outside building so magnificent?
Happy.
Naturally, other people also came together, and the good sister took on the duty of protecting her brother very dutifully, not taking the car, but directly accompanying Xu Shi's carriage.
If she is just unhappy with Cheng Gujian, then she is definitely wary of the Holy See, who knows if this is a trap or not?
She still vaguely remembered that she had fought with the people of the Holy See before, and she didn't care about the cause and effect, but the label of this "bad person" must have been marked.
Actually, you don't need to be so vigilant...... Xu Shi laughed secretly in his heart, the other party came to invite himself so grandly, especially at the gate of the palace, the meaning of demonstration and provocation will definitely be there, but he will never do something stupid that is unfavorable to himself.
Because it is easy for the royal family to grasp the handle, and it will not do them the slightest benefit.
However, this gesture is indeed very heartwarming, and Miss Shen Qin's loyal performance also makes him very satisfied.
Therefore, the attribute of brother control is still great...... The premise is that you have to be the accused brother.
"Mr. Xu can turn evil into good fortune and triumph from the Battle of the Sea God, until now I still feel admired."
Lu Baiyan was in the same car with him, and after a moment of silence, he began to talk about it, "To be honest, I really didn't expect you to survive...... It's really amazing. ”
"It's just luck."
Xu Shi joked and went back perfunctorily, "Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to sit next to you now, would I?" ”
Lu Baiyan could hear that he was hiding something, and how could he survive being swallowed by the sea god could be explained by a word of good luck?
But he doesn't ask too much, and it would be rude to ask too much...... So he just nodded in agreement, "Indeed." ”
"But in any case, the new technologies and artifacts you brought are very interesting, and I have a lot of them in my own collection, such as the electric lamp, and other objects."
He began to find a new topic again, "Your city-state should be very different from the Empire...... To be honest, I'm looking forward to visiting one day and seeing it all for myself. ”
In fact, there is a little subtext hidden in these words, that is, I hope that Xu Shi can be friendly with the Holy See like he treats the royal family, so that he can have a chance to realize what he said...... But the sincerity in his tone didn't sound like a simple compliment when he was there.
Including the politeness just now, there is no sarcasm or yin and yang weirdness.
"Are you really interested?"
Xu Shi blinked, simply shook his wrist, flicked open the communication bracelet, and found some preserved pictures to show him, "In that case, why don't you use this way to understand it first?" Although it is only a picture, what is recorded is not fake. ”
Since the signal base station was set up on Yinsong Island, some signals can also be received within the main city, although the overall is still relatively weak, but it is not difficult to achieve this level.
"What is this?"
Squinting his eyes, he probably didn't expect Xu Shi to be so generous, and raised his head suddenly.
This kind of imaging method is also available in the Hualan Empire, but it is definitely not as convenient as the communication bracelet, at least there is a process of guidance, and it is definitely not something that he can get with a flick of his fingers.
In particular, he couldn't feel the fluctuations of the "divine breath" at all, and that alone was enough to surprise him.
The picture shown in the picture made his eyes widen even more - as he expected, Night Sin City and the Hualan Empire were two completely different worlds, but what the other world's was like was something he couldn't have imagined.
"Can I take the liberty of asking, like this...... What is it? ”
He swallowed, pointed to one of them, and asked curiously.
"Oh, this......"
Xu Shi was not stingy, and patiently answered for him.
This back and forth question and answer lasted several times, and finally he couldn't help but smile and said, "Now I can see that you invited me to sit in your house before, but it is really not just polite. ”
Originally, when I first saw it, I thought it was also a black belly and squinting eyes, but now it seems that there are more attributes of a curious baby...... It's pretty cute.
But it's normal to think about it, I have a special identity, and I can still be unfazed when I see the Hualan Empire, and when I change to the other people next to me, my eyes are also bigger than the other when I first come.
It can be regarded as the inevitable result of the collision of different cultures.
“…… Mr. Xu thinks I have other intentions? ”
These words were actually a bit harsh, and Lu Baiyan, who was still happy because he had seen something new, pursed his lips, and the joy on his face faded a little.
"Honestly, it's hard for me not to feel that way, right?"
Xu Shi spread his hands, "After all, you are a Templar of the Holy See...... I'd be surprised that you weren't as hostile to me as everyone else was. ”
"Actually, you can't say that, Mr. Xu."
Lu Baiyan shook his head and said, "The Holy See may have given you some bad impressions before, but there are also some people who are optimistic about Your Excellency's arrival, and I am not the only one. ”
"But it's a minority, right?"
Xu Shi said with a smile, "Including your Qin Knight Commander, when I haven't seen her, she has already sarcastically mocked me in public, isn't it?" ”
"Knight Commander Qin is a very good person."
Lu Baiyan sighed, "But it's true that she takes good care of Xiao Luoyu...... If you think about it, you can understand. ”
"Maybe."
"But instead of bothering about those things, I'd rather deal with someone like you, at least it will save you a lot of trouble." ”
"Yes, since you're so interested in our city-state, why don't you come to my side to help?"
He continued, "I've already intended for more communication between the people of the two city-states...... If you want, you can be one of them. ”
Mr. Xu laughed.
Lu Baiyan's expression completely faded, "I am first and foremost a Templar, and secondly, an ordinary person who is interested in your city-state. ”
Xu Shi was not surprised by his answer, even if he secretly used some ability, it seemed impossible to expect the other party to defect in two or three sentences.
In other words, if Lu Baiyan really agreed, then there would be a problem, either this person's character is really bad, or he is completely false and wronged.
However, there should be some temptation, or there should still be fighting, because he can see that if he insists on dividing the Holy See into camps, this squint is also neutral or even affinity.
And as we all know, Boss Xu's favorite thing is to dig people into corners - not necessarily all of them have to be girls, this guy's personality is not bad, not to mention, the ability to reverse time is also very interesting.
Gotta find a way to turn him into a "snake ring...... Ahem, that's what it means, he came to the Hualan Empire itself with such an idea, and it's always good to have one more ally.
Not this time, maybe next time?
As he spoke, the convoy arrived at its destination, the Cathedral in the heart of the main city.
It has always been said that the Holy See and the royal family check and balance each other, and the Holy See even faintly presses each other, in fact, this is the best proof - the best location in this city is dominated by them, and in contrast, the location of the palace is biased.
"Mr. Xu, please come with me."
Lu Baiyan also regained his previous look, and with a smile that seemed to be smiling, he led Xu Shi and his party in.
The church is large, and it feels solemn and solemn - there is nothing religious about Night Sin City, and the first time you set foot in such a place, everyone will be more or less shocked, even if it is not an exception for a while.
The church was already ready, and in addition to the other Templars on either side, the saintess was already waiting in the center of the hall.
Her dress remained the same, still the same as the one Xu Shi saw on the day she went to sea, a nun's dress covered with a white veil, and a veil on her face.
Combined with the light refracted by the enamel stained glass, it naturally adds a sense of mystery and holiness.
"Mr. Xu."
Without waiting for a moment to speak, the saint bowed slightly, and the number of courtesies was very thoughtful, "I have always wanted to talk to Your Excellency, but now I finally have a chance." ”
Her voice is also ethereal to listen to, as if she had added special effects.
And why is it all Mr. Xu? One less word, buddy, it's time to fall in love with the White Lady......
Xu Shi was surprised to find that since returning to the main city of the empire this time, his spit soul seemed to have a tendency to intensify.
"Your Highness."
But he was still very polite and polite, "I'm not afraid of being late for a good meal, I'm still here, aren't I?" ”
"Hehe, Mr. Xu is very humorous."
Hearing him say this, the saint smiled lightly, and at the same time gestured to the knights on both sides.
"Mr. Xu, in the next season, I am glad to meet."
A strong man on the left side was the first to greet him and gave him a standard knightly salute.
What's the name...... The soul of the complaint that Xu Shi had just suppressed rose again, and to be honest, I can't see this thing, don't they all say that fitness big muscle bully is generally what it is?
"Hello Knight Ji."
He said hello and went back, and the title didn't seem quite right......
"This is Park Guochang, Park Knight, the eighth in the sequence."
Lu Baiyan didn't know what he was thinking, but he also introduced it to him.
"Hello."
This person has seen it for a while, it is the skinny knight who fought against the sea god at that time, if I remember correctly, the ability is related to ice?
This is as the name suggests.,But it's still necessary to complain.,After all, you're not a beautiful girl.,It's very contrary to get an ice ability, you know?
As for the others, they didn't have any characteristics, and the Templars here didn't seem to be all the Templars, and only half of the eleven knights in the group seemed to be present.
There are also two old acquaintances, one is Qin Yiyan, who has long been marked as a bear by Xu Shi, and the other is of course the cute Luo Yu child.
But he also noticed that there was also an unusually powerful energy fluctuation in this hall.
If you look at it, it is a hidden door, and if you feel it carefully, there is a shadowy figure behind it.
This should be what Cheng Gujian mentioned, the supreme leader of the Holy See, the old Pope?
Well, you're behind the scenes, too...... But that's not something he needs to focus on.
Such a secretive scene still needs a little straightforward words to get straight to the point.
"I wonder what you're looking for me here for?"
"Of course, it's to negotiate conditions, Mr. Xu."
He didn't expect that the answer of the Holy Maiden on the stage would be more straightforward.
"I don't know what kind of price you need to cooperate with our Holy See?"
