Section 158 - Reception of the Minister of Military Affairs
The Dragon Knight is subordinate to the royal family and is not under the control of the military department.
Lin Mo came to the "Charge Horn" fortress where the Imperial Military Department was located, but he only accompanied the twin sisters to report with relevant orders, and also served as half of the tour guide.
The Imperial Military Department didn't care about this, and privately speculated that this pair of girls who covered their faces with silver masks and had a gentle and lovely voice had an ambiguous relationship with Lord Dragon Knight.
This high-ranking warlord came by the way to declare the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the inviolable, so that those who are playing tricks will retreat.
The two sisters never took off their masks from beginning to end, which made many civilian officials in the military department itch unbearably, and it is unknown what kind of face they look under the silver mask, whether they are beautiful or ugly.
With the recommendation of the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial "Reverse Scale" Legion and the Supreme Commander of the Eastern Military Region, Admiral Bi Jiao, Duke Theron, as well as the brilliant record of assisting the Eastern Military Region to successfully thwart the invasion plot of the Republic of Portland, the identity of the Li family sisters was approved with the greatest tolerance.
The Silan Empire has never been stingy in accepting people who have contributed to the empire, not to mention that the two sisters have fully proved their worth in the war.
After a series of formalities, the two sisters, Li Muxin and Li Mubing, are no longer black households of unknown origin, but have become imperial soldiers with identity and background.
In fact, this did not conflict with their original nationality and military position, and it was impossible for the two kingdoms of different planes to have any intersection, and the two sisters changed their new identities with peace of mind.
The sisters' common student, Dundot, was similarly stained.
Successfully changed his nationality, not to mention, he became a personal guard with the two sisters, even the most ordinary soldiers, his identity and status are completely different from the original inn boy, and his fate has embarked on a fundamental change that he once dreamed of.
After all the formalities were completed, when Lin Mo and the other four were about to leave, a herald rushed over to inform them. Adelaide, one of the four ministers of the empire, summoned the two sisters "Heart" and "Bing", who had just reported for duty.
The herald took the twin sisters to the door of a room in the fortress, but unexpectedly stopped Lin Mo and Dundlot, and said, "Lord Adelaide only summons Lord 'Heart' and Lord 'Ice', please wait here." ”
Li Muxin glanced at the closed door of the room and the swordsmen guarding the left and right sides of the door, and glanced at Lin Mo: "It's okay, Lord Morin." ”
"Oh yes, Dundlot and I are right outside the door!"
Lin Mo nodded in response, took Dundot back two steps, and watched the two sisters push open the heavy wooden door, their backs disappearing into the door.
The room was empty. It is also huge, as unpretentious as the style inside and outside the entire fortress, giving people a sense of great ingenuity and heaviness.
In addition to a large desk, on the wall is a map drawn on the entire barbarian hide, which is easily recognizable as the territory map of the Slan Empire, which has a lot more special information than the civilian map, such as army garrisons, checkpoints, granaries, equipment depots, and permanent fortresses.
There are also rows of bookshelves. There are rolls of parchment scrolls stacked on them, although there are also books, but they are only a few, after all, the papermaking and reproduction techniques in this world are still very primitive and rudimentary.
It seems that all the commanders liked such an arrangement. Whether it's Earth or this otherworld.
Bite!~
A crisp voice came into his ears, attracting the attention of the twin sisters.
A middle-aged man with white hair leaned against the window, carrying three delicate goblets in one hand and a silver long-necked wine bottle in the other. He gestured to the two sisters.
"Who are you?"
Following the customs, Li Muxin and her sister Li Mubing gently made a military chest beating ceremony at the same time.
"I'm Duke Ocassi, of course. You can also call me Adelaide, or Sir!"
It is hard to imagine that one of the four most trusted ministers of His Majesty the Emperor, the Minister of Military Affairs who controls the entire army, is so approachable.
Looking at each other, the sisters were not stupid people, and they could naturally hear another meaning in each other's two sentences.
"Yes, sir!"
Li Muxin and Li Mubing acted as if they were one person, and at the same time took off the silver mask on their faces, revealing the two identical faces.
With black hair and black eyes, they are still twin sisters, and as they guessed, Adelaide smiled again and walked over.
The subtext of the invitation to drink is that they want to see the true faces of the two sisters, and then when they introduce themselves, they repeatedly put on a gesture to show their affinity, and the two sisters are naturally as kind as they flow, which makes the Minister of War and Political Affairs very satisfied.
"My two new fourth-class staff officers, come, have a drink first, I think you come to the imperial capital for the first time, you should taste the imperial capital's famous brew 'blood', it will definitely have an endless aftertaste. ”
Turning his hand and lightly pouring a pale pool of blood-red wine over the three goblets, Adelaide handed them to the sisters.
"Xie Lu Xie, sir!"
The Li sisters did not hesitate, and took a step forward to take the wine glass.
The biggest characteristic of twin sisters is that they are synchronized, and their movements, expressions, speeches, and tone of voice are completely consistent.
Shake the wine glass slightly, put it between your mouth and nose and sniff lightly, and then take a shallow sip, the sweet fruity aroma wraps around the tip of the tongue and slowly enters the throat.
The alcohol is far more pungent than the ale wine sold in the market, although it is not as good as those famous wines on the earth, but it already has the original characteristics of sweet red, and if the process can be improved, it may be able to compete with the famous French red wine.
"How?"
Adelaide maintained a calm and aristocratic demeanor, observing the movements and reactions of the two sisters.
The way the other party held the wine glass was very strange, and it was certain that it was not the first time that they had come into contact with this high-end wine worth 100 gold coins a bottle.
"It's okay! It's still a little worse than Bordeaux's Lafite!"
Li Muxin said a little, skillfully waved the translucent goblet in his hand, and the red wine suddenly turned into a red dragon, and quickly circled around the wall of the cup.
"Oh, Bordeaux's Lafite, is it wine?"
Adelaide heard this term for the first time, and there were very few similar famous wines that could be found and surpassed by "blood" in the Silan Empire, and Li Muxin's answer successfully aroused the curiosity of the military minister.
"It's in my distant homeland, there's a city called Bordeaux"
The introduction of a famous wine resort on the earth was eloquently told in Li Muxin's mouth, but no one thought that it was actually in another world, and the introduction of wine made Adelaide fascinated.
As everyone knows, as an elite intelligence officer of the intelligence group of the "Dark Night" special service team, fooling has been transformed into an art, even if there is a lie detector, it is difficult to tell whether what they say is true or false, not to mention that it is still nine truths and one false.
"The dragon god is above, there is such a beautiful wine and magical winery in the world, if you can get a drink, you will have no regrets in this life. ”
Adelaide said very yearningly, he suddenly turned straight, looked at the two sisters and said, "I guess, the two should also be from noble backgrounds." ”
Since the two sisters stepped into this room, the temptation from the Minister of Military Affairs had begun, whether it was to lift their masks in the name of wine, or to observe their origins through wine tasting, each step seemed casual, but it implied a deep purpose and intention.
Being able to sit in the position of Minister of Military Affairs, Duke Ocassi of the Empire naturally cannot be a mediocre person, and if they want to be recognized by him, the two sisters must first pass this special "interview".
"Yes, my lord, my sister and I share the same surname, Li! As the generation of the family, we are both 'Mu' generations, so my sister's full name is Li Muxin, and my name is Li Mubing. ”
The younger sister Li Mubing deliberately kept her voice exactly the same as her sister, and took the opportunity to officially introduce the real names of the two sisters to each other.
In fact, in this world, it doesn't matter whether it is a real name or not, it is naturally impossible for the Silan Empire to go to the earth to check the household registration of the two sisters, and Li Mubing's purpose of reporting his family is more of the pride of the descendants of Yan and Huang.
In this world world, only nobles can have surnames, but Chinese everyone has a surname, all of them are nobles, and they directly explode any country and nation in this world world.
"The surname 'Li'? a rare surname, well, if the two of them can continue to make meritorious contributions to the Empire, I think there will soon be a 'Li' family in the aristocratic society, with the rights and obligations of the surname 'Li' in the Silan Empire. ”
Adelaide did not hesitate to hand over an olive branch to win people's hearts, as he had guessed and seen with his own eyes, the twin sisters were from an extraordinary background, perhaps from a distant land.
As for how can such a sister flower be raised in a commoner's home?
A quarter of an hour later, Dundot, who had almost stretched his neck, finally saw the two teachers coming out of the room and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Once a commoner at the lowest level of society, he certainly knew what kind of tunes the nobles sometimes played.
Thankfully, the two teachers were still unharmed, and it was just a very normal summons.
"How?"
Lin Mo raised his eyebrows, and he stood motionless near like a javelin until the two sisters came out.
"Lord Adelaide invited my sister and me to taste a wine called 'Blood', well, and a few words of care. ”
Li Muxin winked at the dragon knight after putting on the silver mask again.
"Hurry up and find a place to stay, tomorrow we will have to find a house in the city, Lord Adelaide has only given my sister and me three days off. ”
Sister Li Mubing's heart felt a sense of steadiness that she had finally settled down, and she and her sister would soon establish their first home in this otherworldly imperial capital.
"I'll leave it to Dundot and me!"
As a land snake, Lin Mo nodded quietly. (To be continued......)
