Chapter 668: You're Sure You Want to Compete
In the era of peace and abundance, they donated medicine to benefit the poor. In the era of famine or natural disasters, they did not hesitate to spend huge amounts of wealth, went abroad to buy grain, and opened warehouses to the people. These are the fundamental reasons why they have won the hearts and minds of the people. In some ways, they did a lot more authentic than the Imperial Royalty.
Daima bowed his hand and said loudly: "President of the Rambis Alchemist Guild, National Teacher Daima sees His Majesty the Holy Emperor, His Majesty the King. ”
Song Li also bowed with his hand and said with a smile: "The Governor of the Nine Counties of the Holy Lion Empire, King Song Li of the Ming Dynasty, see His Majesty the Holy Emperor, His Majesty the King." ”
Daima suddenly shouted and said, "Song Li, why don't you kneel?"
Song Li said coldly: "Auntie, if you want to kneel, you can kneel, what do you want to do with others?"
Daima raised his head proudly and said, "Our Rambis Kingdom is a civilized country, and there is no etiquette of kneeling at all. I heard that the courtiers and people of your Holy Lion Empire are all going to kneel to the emperor, but now that you look at it, it doesn't live up to your name. ”
Song Li smiled slightly: "Whether you are civilized or not lies in your heart, and etiquette is just an appearance." If you have a savage heart, no matter how polite you are on the surface, you can't cover up your wolf ambitions. ”
Daima opened his eyes and said angrily, "Who do you say is a wolf with ambition?"
Song Li said indifferently: "Song is just an example, why should the eldest aunt and national teacher sit in the right seat?"
Daima was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to do next.
His Majesty Helen's blue eyes couldn't help but glance at Song Li more, at first she didn't notice this young man, although Song Li was long and jade, handsome, but as a king, she had seen few handsome guys in her life? Even the slaves who fed her horses were handsome guys! So appearance could not be a factor that attracted her attention. At least only a small factor. She is the lord of a country, not a who screams at the sight of a handsome guy.
However, Song Li's short words were full of wisdom and his counterattack was extremely sharp, and everyone could hear that he was scolding Daima for his wolf ambitions, but Daima couldn't attack. People say it's just an example, do you insist on taking a seat?
"This young gentleman, you just said that you are the governor of the nine counties, the king of Ming, right?" His Majesty Helen's gaze wandered over Song Li's face, and the waves of his eyes rippled gently like sea water;
"Returning to His Majesty the King, Song Li is indeed the official of the Nine Counties Governor and Governor, and the Lord is the King of Ming. Song Li was neither humble nor arrogant, and said with a smile.
King Helen secretly praised that most men of Song Li's age were full of blood, and in the face of her inquiry, they were all fascinated, and he had never seen anything unusual in his life when he faced her calmly! Even the Holy Emperor showed a brief expression of lust and soul when he first saw her, and although he then controlled it, it was impossible to escape her eyes. This young man is here, and she is really more and more impressed.
As the saying goes, the person who knows you best is not your friend, but your enemy. has been an enemy of the Holy Lion Empire for so long, and even now, although they are friendly on the surface, they are actually enemies in secret, and King Helen naturally knows the Holy Lion Empire very well. She knows the system above the court, a descendant of the royal family, it is possible to be canonized as the king of the county at birth, but if she wants to become a prince, she can't just mess around with qualifications. It takes a great contribution to the empire to be canonized. Song Li was canonized as a prince at a young age, and he must have made great contributions to the empire.
As for the official position of the Governor of the Nine Counties, Helen was even more unheard of, she asked herself if she knew all the systems of the Holy Lion Empire, but why was the name of the Governor of the Nine Counties so unfamiliar?
It's just that the name Song Li is indeed somewhat familiar, as if I have heard someone say it. I couldn't remember it for a while.
"May I ask this gentleman, what is the specific nature of the official position of the governor of the nine counties?" King Helen became more and more polite to Song Li.
When Daima saw that King Helen ignored him as a national teacher, and instead inquired about the hostile Song Li, the boss was naturally unhappy, and puffed up his beard and sulked on the side.
"This is a special official position set up by His Majesty the Holy Emperor to reward me for my merits in the Castiran Desert, and there is no specific position, and the edict of appointment reads 'supervise and inspect all matters within the nine counties'! Song Li smiled, satisfying the beauty king's curiosity.
In the midst of lightning and fire, King Helen remembered the name of Song Li. At the beginning, she sent Cintilella and Heywood of another country to secretly sneak to the place where the meteorite landed, which belonged to the territory of the Holy Lion Empire. According to Heywood's return, the man's name was Song Li, and King Helen was impressed at that time. Even the old and spicy Heywood was defeated at his hands, and he was by no means an idle person! I didn't expect to finally see the real person this time.
"You are Song Li?" King Helen lost his mind for a moment.
"I've always been Song Li, and that has never changed. Song Li said humorously. He knew that the king must have remembered who he was. Can Heywood and Cintilella go back without reporting to her?
I wonder how she felt when she saw this opponent who thwarted his treasure theft plan at this moment?
King Helen was a big man after all, and after a brief loss of consciousness, she quickly returned to normal. He smiled slightly and said, "National Master Dayima, what are you and this young Lord Song going to do?"
King Helen didn't know about the secret agreement between Daima and the Holy Emperor, nor did he know that Daima was going to come single-handedly to challenge the Alchemist Guild of the Holy Lion Empire today, and His Majesty the Holy Emperor invited her over, and out of etiquette, she followed.
"Your Majesty the King of Qiqi, on behalf of the Alchemist Guild of the Rambis Kingdom, today I want to challenge the Alchemist Guild of the Holy Lion Empire! Daima solemnly handed the contract to King Helen.
King Helen opened the contract and frowned slightly. The Alchemist Guild of the Rambis Kingdom has never been under her jurisdiction, in fact, her control over the Rambis Kingdom is extremely limited, and the Alchemist Guild only obeys the orders of Zoroastrianism, and has faintly become a branch of Zoroastrianism. This Daima is the president of the Alchemist Guild and an elder of the Zoroastrians. After the combination of the two, the power is intertwined and has long been beyond the control of the royal family.
The current Helen, although not a puppet in the full sense of the word, is not much worse.
As a king, her first consideration was naturally the interests of the country. Daima challenged the Alchemist Guild of the Holy Lion Empire, whether he wins or loses, it will not be of any benefit to the country. If you win, what good is it also belongs to Zoroastrianism, and if you lose, you lose the face of the country of Rambis. She had the intention to oppose it, but it was clearly written in black and white, and what could be changed by opposition? Moreover, although this Daisma claimed to be her courtier, he even made his own decision on such a big matter and did not ask her for instructions, even if she objected, would Daisma listen to her? The answer is self-evident.
Although she was deeply unhappy about this, the situation was stronger than people, and she had nothing to do for the time being. This king is indeed a bit of a wreck. Soon she was attracted by another thing, the names of the two sides on the contract turned out to be not Da Yama and Cui Heling?
What is the situation? Isn't Cui Heling the president of the Alchemist Guild of the Holy Lion Empire? Why didn't he come to fight but let Song Li fight? Could it be that Song Li was also a very powerful alchemist? It doesn't look like it, he's too young! Daima is the chief master of the Alchemist Guild, and he is already over two hundred years old...... Song Li looked like he was twenty years old at most, a twenty-year-old young man, and an old monster who had been immersed in alchemy for two hundred years, was there any chance of him winning?
King Helen's wonderful eyes looked at Song Li again, this young man had brought her too many surprises, far beyond her cognition. She couldn't understand the intention of the Holy Lion Empire's Alchemist Guild's move, could it be that they adopted a strategy of strategic abandonment? Deliberately losing to Daima? This also doesn't make sense.
This contract signed in black and white, if you lose, the content of the contract will have to be honored. The two kings were all on the scene, and there were tens of thousands of citizens in the imperial capital below to witness it, and there was no chance to play tricks when the time came.
Song Li...... Are you sure you're the one you're competing with Da'eima?" asked King Helen. She had always wondered if she had been dazzled.
"That's right, Your Majesty...... Is there anything wrong with this?" said Song Li with a smile.
"Uh...... No problem...... "King Helen didn't know what to say, did she want to say, Daima is very powerful, you are not his opponent, you should know that she should be in Daeima's camp." Wouldn't this be tantamount to standing in Song Li's camp?
"Let's start without a problem. The Holy Emperor was afraid of any extraneous complications, so he smiled and said, "I really want to see who is better in the Alchemist Guilds of the two countries. Don't care about winning or losing, friendship first, competition second. ”
Chairman Cui's perceptive eyes stared at His Majesty the Holy Emperor, as if he had seen through the small calculations in the Holy Emperor's heart. Under such a gaze, the thick-skinned and black-hearted Holy Emperor couldn't help but blush slightly. Uniting outsiders to deal with the Alchemist Guild in their own country is something that only a "lion traitor" can do. Whatever his intentions, it would be shameless to do so. If the people in the audience knew about it, it was estimated that he, the Holy Emperor, would be drowned by the spittle in the sky.
Hmph, what if you see through it? What if you hate me? As long as I reign for one day, I will not be allowed to have a kingdom within a state, and I will not be allowed to have an organization above the law. Whatever method is used, the Alchemist Guild must be used by me. One
