Chapter 1,269 Preparation for the Audience

,!

Look at Efren dressing up as a monk and seeing the Holy Symbol of Koin on his robes. Lin asked intuitively: "Things related to the bank? Also, what's going on with you? Are you being punished?"

Although the connection between the Midland nobles and the church is not as close as that in the European Middle Ages on Earth, there is even a hint of opposition. But sometimes, the church can also become a refuge or prison for nobles who have lost power, and some minor nobles may also send their underage children to the church to study. Such functionality still exists.

So when this unlucky noble young man came in front of him in this posture, Lin's first thought was that he had been punished for his last mistake. But, what is the crime? Lin was very curious. After all, in this medieval setting, there are many weird laws.

But Efren was not making a mistake. He said: "Your Excellency, it was me who took the initiative to propose to Your Majesty to cooperate with the church of the Goddess of Gold Coins in the bank you mentioned. Although I got the latest dogma from His Majesty the Bishop of Koyin, But there are still quite a few things that I don’t understand, so I have never received permission from His Majesty the Emperor to establish a bank in the Imperial City of Nineveh. Today, by His Majesty’s order, I am here to invite you, in order to ask you to clear up our doubts. .”

Before Lin could answer, he first felt the doubtful gaze cast by the old Duke next to him. At the same time, he also glanced at the boy from Muhaxiebiexi's family who was wearing the robe of a gold coin goddess monk. Lin explained: "The first time I asked to see His Majesty Ke Yin, I went to the temple in the Imperial City of Nineveh. This young man kindly led the way. Of course, he could not hear my conversation with His Majesty Ke Yin. Less, that’s why I had the idea. I said so, right?”

Efren said respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty the Great Magician. I have an intuition that the bank will be a very important tool in the future. The Empire cannot stay away and wait until the future to catch up with other people who joined immediately. So I asked Your Majesty for this opportunity, hoping to preside over a bank, at least a bank in the imperial city of Nineveh."

"Oh, just listening to my conversation with His Majesty Ke Yin, you have such an awareness. Should I say this is reckless, or should I say that your intuition is very sharp."

The young man who was praised was beaming with joy and didn't know how to answer the question. On the other hand, Baron Mamud, as the deputy envoy, had an expressionless face and did not reveal any emotions. Instead, he answered the call and asked: "I would like to ask you, the great magician, if you are willing to accompany me to see your majesty?"

Lin did not answer directly, but asked: "How long did it take you to come from the Imperial City of Nineveh?"

"I waited for the fast horse to ride, and it took a total of xxii (22) days." Baron Mahmoud replied.

"Then how long will it take for me to have an audience with His Majesty the Emperor after I arrive at the Imperial City?" Lin asked again. This is really about meeting these big people, and you often have to look at their time and mood to coordinate. I have been very busy recently and don't want to waste this time.

Baron Mahmoud replied: "When we return to the imperial city, I will inform your majesty first. In about ii (2) to iii (3) days, I will be able to inform you of the time of the audience. But everything depends on your majesty. s arrangement."

"In other words, we still have to wait." Lin thought for a while and then asked: "Do you have a way to communicate with each other? And with people outside, right?" Lin pointed to the knights waiting in the courtyard.

Only now did Lin realize that the posture of this group of guests looked like they were going to take him away today. Perhaps the person speaking was more polite, but the empire's arrogance remained unabated.

Faced with the magician's strange question, the outspoken Efron said: "Yes, we all rely on the forum to communicate. It's fast and very convenient." However, this made Baron Mahmoud frown slightly. The emperor's servant, who had always kept a straight face, finally changed his face, but quickly returned to normal.

"In that case,──"

Lin Yi flashed and appeared in front of the gate of the palace in Nineveh Imperial City with Baron Mamud. The guards stationed at the gate were majestic and tall, but they turned a blind eye to the two people who suddenly appeared in front of them. Someone guessed that he was scared out of his wits.

Because Baron Mamud still maintained his sitting posture, Lin held the opponent's lower back to prevent the baron from falling to the ground. He turned his head and looked at his surroundings blankly, unable to understand why he returned to the palace.

Lin said at this time: "My lord, please inform His Majesty the Emperor. When he is free and confirms the time, send a message to Efren. I will appear at this location and wait for someone to take me into the palace. As for your entourage and Carriage, please inform them of the return journey. There are so many people, so it’s a bit troublesome to transmit. Okay, that’s it, let’s contact you again.” After that, leave!

Baron Mahmoud was still confused. The guards stationed at the palace gate suddenly woke up because one of them was suddenly missing. The team leader in charge stepped forward and confirmed that the person left behind was the emperor's personal attendant. Thinking of the mission of the person in front of him, he wondered: "Sir Mahmoud, why are you here? Didn't His Majesty send you to Estali?"

"This...where is this?" the baron asked in a daze.

"In front of the palace. Do you have anything else to meet with His Majesty?"

"No, why am I here?"

"Well, just as we were dazzled, you appeared. How did you come? I also want to know." After saying that, the guard captain realized something. He immediately put his hand on the hilt of the sword, took a half step back and asked, "Are you an impostor? Are you a demon? Or an assassin? Come on, catch him!"

The guards guarding the gate rushed forward! Of course, someone who returned to the holy city of Estali didn't know these things.

Because it happened so fast, after Lin came back, the stunned Efren regained consciousness and asked hurriedly: "Where is Baron Mahmoud? Where did you take him?"

"Well, I asked him to return to the imperial city first and let him report to the emperor. When the time is confirmed, I asked him to inform you again, and then you tell me. Then we will gather in front of the palace. As for the carriage you brought With the guards, you can ask them to go back first. Anyway, I can't possibly accompany you in a carriage for more than 20 days, all the way back to the imperial city. I've been very busy recently."

"Hmm...Okay." Thinking of the magician's combat power in front of him, Efren couldn't make any strong rebuttal. But he noticed that the magician in front of him was looking at him up and down, and saw that his scalp was numb. He couldn't help but ask: "Sir, what can I do for you now?"

Looking at this coarse cloth robe, there is a hemp rope tied around the waist. If it weren't for the Holy Emblem of the Goddess of Gold Coins, it would be reasonable to say that this person was born in a slum. Lin criticized: "This costume is so shameless." Then he turned around and said to the old Duke beside him: "Are all monks' clothes so ugly? Or is it just the gold coin goddess's clothes that are particularly bad?"

Kawei Gong answered seriously: "As long as it is not specially designed for adventure, most of the daily attire of monks is like this. At this stage, they will live a life close to that of ascetics and learn about the gods' classics and precepts." Everything. Because they are also responsible for cleaning up the environment, preparing meals and other chores, they will definitely get themselves dirty, so they don’t need to wear too good clothes. Unless they are going to worship or other ceremonies, they will wear more formal clothes. clothing."

"That's right. But this is too naive. Boy, you said you want to work in Her Majesty's bank?" Lin asked.

After being criticized for her outfit, Efron nervously replied: "Yeah, yeah."

"Well, I'll help you change your clothes. By the way, I'll use it as compensation for being scared before."

Lin shook the bell on the table. Soon, Kaya walked into the conference room, curtsied and asked, "Teacher, please call me."

Lin said: "He has a similar figure to me. Bring me the suit I made before and show him how to put it on. If it doesn't fit, modify it and give it to him. If the bank in the Imperial City of Nineveh can It’s a deal, he wants to come to manage the bank wearing this kind of clothes, it would be a disgrace to the goddess. Oh, by the way, your sister is still here?”

"Sister, I am helping Miss Miles change that suit, and there are many elves who are also helping, changing their own clothes. Do you want to find them?"

With a big wave of his hand, Lin said: "No, please bring the things here first."

"Yes, teacher." Kaya stepped back. After a while, she led several male attendants and returned to the meeting room with a suit, paper, pen, cloth ruler and other items. Also following were Fen, the former Demon King, and the dark elf Melson.

One was wearing a well-tailored silver-gray formal suit, a white shirt, and roomy trousers that highlighted the length of her long legs. Paired with a pair of flat pink-framed oval glasses and that neat short black hair, if it weren't for that majestic bust, the dashing Fen would probably be able to charm thousands of girls.

The other was wearing a navy blue formal suit, the same white shirt but a knee-length narrow skirt that covered the hips, and had her long hair tied up, revealing her long, dark, pointed ears. It is obviously the disguise of the intellectual ol from the earth, but it makes Melson wear a seductive flavor and arouse the man's desire to conquer.

The two of them walked in with high heels and swaying. The eyes of all the men present were brightened, even the old Duke was no exception. These are the uniforms Lin plans to prepare for the elves who come to work in the bank.

This form of suit, which was formed in the middle of the 19th century, was actually the earliest casual clothing worn by nobles in addition to formal attire. It pays attention to functionality and reasonable put-on and take-off design. When the aristocracy declined and those expensive and luxurious gowns fell out of fashion, the casual clothes of the aristocrats gradually evolved into the formal suits of ordinary people and officially took the stage.

Someone would choose such clothes as the uniforms of the elves working in the bank, and also to bring some personal goods to the new things in the bank.

In order to avoid people misunderstanding the banks by using too weird-shaped buildings, the banks are all built in a regular manner, in line with the style of the land. But in terms of clothing, the wood elf's regular clothes are... well, a little wild. It's not appropriate to wear an elf holy robe. Learning how humans dress seems to be a waste of the beauty of the elves. So Lin decided to get some private goods.

As for the reason for choosing a suit, it is also because the style of the suit will not deviate too far from the aesthetics of Midi, but there are obvious differences. Moreover, simple and straight lines can also bring out the sophistication of bank personnel. Coupled with the beautiful halo of the elf itself, it can highlight its characteristics even more.

New things should have some new atmosphere. But it shouldn’t be too deviant or intimidating.

With these requirements and the selected clothing types, Fen was asked to design the elves' bank uniforms. This can make the former Demon King, who has been a little lazy recently, burst out with enthusiasm again.
