Chapter 319: Exchange
The golden carriage, stepping on the morning sun, took the two brothers Bai Xuan and Bai Fan towards the palace.
The rose capital in the morning has not yet been completely awakened, still with the dew of last night.
Except for drunkards who stayed up all night, and some people who were forced to make ends meet and had to get up early, walking on the streets, the wide avenues, as if spotless.
It didn't take long for the royal palace of the Rose Dynasty to be in sight.
The imperial palaces in the East are often a huge complex of buildings, although they are also a whole, but many of them are detached.
The royal palace in the West, on the other hand, is a huge building as a whole.
is a complete fortress.
Emperor Theobit I, his empress, and his sons and daughters, as well as a large number of servants, maids, gardeners, gardeners, gardeners, coachmen, guards, etc., all lived here.
Occasionally, some officials or nobles from all over the world would stay overnight.
As for the lover of Western Bit ... They may occasionally be summoned to the palace by His Majesty the Emperor, but most of the time, of course, they come with their husbands or sons.
It is rumored that when Western Orbit I was young and absurd, he thought of following the example of Eastern civilization and marrying a few more wives.
However, it was opposed by both the church and the aristocracy, and they had to give up this thought.
The Western aristocracy stems from their simple, straightforward but archaic inheritance system.
When the father dies, the children inherit the title, and the succession order is arranged in descending order, and if there are no children, the brothers of the same generation inherit the title. If you don't even have brothers, you are looking for a bloodline further away according to the genealogy.
If it is a polygamous system, then such an order will be chaotic.
The competition between women for favor, as well as plotting for their children, will only drag the entire family to hell.
This is a completely different concept from marrying a string.
After all, if you marry your stepwife and your ex-wife's children, even if they are calculated to die, it will only be a family chaos.
The number of shares, the title, land, and status of a family will not be greatly damaged and affected.
Of course... It is customary that an illegitimate child who is fostered in someone else's home has no right to inherit.
Men who wear cuckolds often know who their wild seeds come from.
If you don't dare to provoke people, then the best place for this bastard child is the church of the seven gods, of course, now there is one more choice... That is to enter the White Wizard School and become an apprentice to a certain White Wizard.
When they reach adulthood, even foster families buy them a modest inheritance, and treat them as if they were other children who are barely eligible to inherit titles and domains.
If it is an illegitimate child born to those who have no background, or whose real father is not strong enough, then most of them will not escape the fate of an untimely death. It will die in a providential catastrophe that cannot be avoided.
The rose-red palace, in the morning sun, radiates light.
The rich fragrance emanating from the large rose garden envelops the entire palace.
The carriage stopped at the gate of the huge palace.
At the outermost periphery were patrolling swarms of guards.
They were wearing rose armor.
And further in, there is a large number of servants and maids.
Obviously... Theobit I was not a man of temperament.
The maids in his palace were dressed in a very old-fashioned manner.
There are no short skirts and lace patterns, no white or black stockings and stiletto heels, and those girls with good faces and strong capital have no opportunity to show their natural capital, and they are all tightly wrapped.
The special clothing that originally occupied a place in the hearts of many men now seems unattractive.
Just like the strong gap and contrast between the nurse's uniform in reality and the nurse's uniform in the small movie.
Under the guidance of the head maid, the two walked to the door of the study.
Western Bit I did not meet them on a more formal occasion, and already gave some hint of attitude.
Knock on the door.
Western Bit I did not wear a formal suit, but a loose round-necked robe, covered with a red coat, and his white hair was cut into a short hair, which looked particularly energetic.
There is only a small mustache on the lips of the face, which shows a mature taste.
He was tall and tall, and at the same time radiated a strong message of consciousness outward.
This consciousness interferes with matter, unconsciously influencing everything around it, interfering and distorting it.
"If he's a cultivator... It may be equivalent to the Yuan Shen realm, but I bet that he will not be able to survive any of the thousand-year tribulations, let alone become an immortal. Bai Fan said to Bai Xuan.
"A force that cannot be fully restrained and controlled... Maybe it's the favorite of the Heavenly Devils. But... Maybe it's the opposite. Bai Xuan responded.
Bai Fan didn't speak again.
"Welcome, friends from afar. Siobit I put down the quill in his hand, and then looked at the two Bai Fan brothers in a posture that was as comfortable as possible for himself.
When he found that they were not affected by himself in the slightest, the smile on his face became a little more sincere.
The study is not very large.
But because of this, it seems to have a bit of majesty and inexplicable warmth brought by a large number of books and dense laying.
If it weren't for a few books that had been exposed to spiritual radiation and become weird, and moved on the bookshelf from time to time... The atmosphere could have been better.
Theobit I knocked on the table.
The dishonest books, the inkwell that deserted, and the vases that hid in the corner and secretly wanted to hum a minor tune were all quieted.
"Your Majesty, Great Western Bit Majesty, we have heard of your name far away in the East, and it is a privilege to meet you now. Bai Fan stood up and spoke in place of Bai Xuan.
Of course... As a nominal 'envoy', there is nothing wrong with him speaking.
Theobit I didn't take this too seriously.
Instead, he skipped the topic and said, "I already have some understanding of your origin and meaning. So tell me... What will you do, messengers from afar, and what do you need?"
Bai Fan gave Bai Xuan a 'Look at what I said is right, sure enough'.
Then he said, "Great Rose Emperor, we have traveled across the ocean to your kingdom without asking for any material reward. Just to exchange the friendship between the two countries, of course... We've also heard about your upcoming gala, which will be a once-in-a-century miracle that is about to happen in this land. ”
"So we wanted to see it up close. Then record this miracle and bring it back to the East, and tell more Orientals that in the far West... The great Rose Dynasty, the great Western Bit I, has done what a feat it has done. ”
Bai Fan was able to say such a big thing almost without panting, and it could be called a tenth-level licking dog.
It is not an easy relationship for people to get close to and trust, so Bai Fan and Bai Xuan have never thought about starting from scratch and slowly developing to gain trust.
Instead, they were straightforward about their original purpose.
Theobit I looked at the two of them and seemed to be thinking about something.
Although there was no verbal agreement, there was no explicit refusal.
After thinking for a while, Western Bit I seemed to have figured out something, and without waiting for Bai Xuan or Bai Fan to 'play' further, he agreed: "Okay! During the celebration, I will allow you to stand behind me and stand on the best scene to watch the ceremony." You will take part in this celebration with your credentials in your hands, representing the country and the king behind you. ”
This is already a bit explicit.
Let Bai Fan and Bai Xuan stand behind him on behalf of the so-called king and the country.
This is undoubtedly a kind of declaration... Declare a leading position, declare a leading position, and at the same time declare a kind of conquest.
If Bai Xuan and Bai Fan are really what the so-called messengers are.
Agreeing to such a request, sending it back to China, and then deliberately provoking it by someone with a heart, it is definitely a big crime to kill the head and rob the family.
Of course... Now it doesn't matter.
After all, the so-called David has long perished. And the identities of Bai Xuan and Bai Fan's envoys are also fictitious.
"Of course, in exchange, you must attend the welcome banquet for you several times with my nobles, and they will make you realize the greatness and prosperity of this country in every way. Said Theobit I.
The intention of this sentence is also obvious.
It's to let them cooperate and help with the publicity.
Publicizing the strength of the Rose Dynasty today, 'David', who was far away in the East, not only heard about it, but also took the initiative to express his surrender and yearning.
"Of course!" Bai Fan didn't dwell on it so much, and responded directly.
It seems that in a short period of time, the two sides reached an agreement. There were no disagreements and we were very happy with each other.
Afterwards, he talked about various customs, political and military information about the East.
Even small talk reveals the ambition of the legendary monarch.
Far east, you need to cross the vast and unpredictable sea, and the risks on the sea are innumerable, but he seems to faintly reveal the intention of forming a large fleet and trying to open the way to the east.
Repeatedly asked Bai Xuan and Bai Fan about what they had seen and heard at sea, and whether they could sell 'sea charts'.
Bai Xuan and Bai Fan knew the nautical chart of a ghost, so they could only continue to perfunctory casually.
casually cover up, just to cover up the past.
Often things that are not from the same era, or even from the same world, can pop out of his mouth, and even be depicted vividly, as if it really happened in the present.
It seems to have barely frightened Western Bit I.
"I see! On the sea, there are really no wonders, and there are even magic fruits such as Devil Fruits. Although it has inevitable flaws, if it is on land, unless you encounter the magic that is aimed at development, the power should not be underestimated!" said Siobit I with a laugh.
Bai Fan also smiled happily.
just muttered in his heart: "I'm afraid that this Western Bit I will be fooled and lame, if he really sends a fleet to find the Devil Fruit... That's a lot of fun. ”
