Chapter 1,276 The Emperor Summons

,!

Just like before, the bank regulations that someone worked out behind closed doors had the function of a legal person account as soon as they were discussed with Uzov and Melcha. During this time, Coin also developed functions such as 'checks' and 'letters of credit' in exchanges with believers, or to be more precise, bank depositors.

After someone thought deeply about these things, I felt that they should be content that can be released at this time without causing major problems. It also helped to improve the rules. Of course, it is based on the knowledge of the financial system that was approaching maturity before someone traveled through time.

On Earth before time travel, the reason why the rules of the financial system were so complicated was to prevent and plug shortcomings and loopholes discovered in the long-term operation; at the same time, some backdoors were secretly opened so that knowledgeable people could exploit them. These things may not necessarily be copied, but the complicated rules are still worthy of reference.

In addition, in the past, bank users could use the Koyin Holy Emblem to save money. This was to facilitate people who went out to save money. But the function of directly using Koyin's Holy Emblem to transfer money has also been proposed. This is actually a currencyless transaction used between stores and consumers, just like the various scan code payments or credit card or debit card transactions that someone used before traveling through time.

However, this feature was temporarily suspended by someone. On the one hand, this function may be exploited by robbers and thieves. On the other hand, today's bank users are not very popular, so they are not in a hurry to activate such functions. In this regard, the Gold Coin Goddess took things as she was good.

Just when he was so busy, Efren Muhashebesi finally came to inform him that the emperor could receive someone.

At the appointed time, Lin took the young people from Muhashebesi's family to the main entrance of the palace in the Nineveh Imperial City.

Efren Muhashebesi was wearing a bank suit, the most popular costume in the holy city of Estali during this period, and stood beside a certain magician.

Logically speaking, as a member of the nobility, he should wear aristocratic attire and attend such occasions when the emperor is being received. But Evren also has the identity of the envoy of the Goddess of Gold Coins, so it is in line with the rules to wear a bank uniform. What's more, this outfit is not a disrespectful design. It is much better than the ascetic monk's robe before.

The great magician Gabrash Tripwood is the same as before. He is afraid of his life and wears a pure black gold thread basalt robe, which is an artifact robe inhabited by gods.

In fact, Fen had made another suit for him, which was different from the one Efron was wearing, but someone didn't want to wear that kind of defenseless clothes and break into the palace. At this stage, suits are still considered useless. So Lin still wore the Xuanwu robe, a magician's robe with strong defensive power.

Waiting for the magician to appear at the main entrance was, of course, Baron Mamud, a close minister of the emperor who had been sent to the Holy City by the emperor to invite a certain magician. and half a squadron of the Emperor's Guards. They were wearing shiny armor, holding extremely sharp spears, and wearing bright red velvet cloaks. They all looked mighty and mighty.

As soon as he saw a certain magician appear, Baron Mamud, who had experienced it before, maintained a calm attitude and stepped forward to say hello: "Your Majesty the Great Magician, welcome to your arrival. Please follow me into the palace to meet with the emperor. Your Majesty." When he saw Efren, Baron Mahmoud only raised eyebrows at the young man's strange clothes, but didn't say much.

If someone greets someone politely, Lin certainly won't look at him with a bad face. He performed the courtesy of a magician and said, "This is my honor. Please lead the way."

When a group of people were about to enter the palace, they were stopped by the guards guarding the door.

The tall knight stood in front of everyone like an iron tower. His cold eyes looked down from the top of his full-face helmet at the magician who in his eyes was as thin as a chicken. The squadron leader's personal guard said: "You are not allowed to carry weapons when entering the palace."

Hmm~ Okay, it’s a normal reason. But Lin patted himself up and down and said, "I don't carry any weapons, not even a wand or a knife."

This is the truth. Now Lin doesn't need to 'carry' weapons. When you need it, just summon Hakakiri directly.

But the guards did not let a certain magician pass because of this. He did not ask for a body search, but pointed at someone abnormally and said, "The same goes for this magic robe. You are not allowed to wear it. Take it off."

...Well, this is a strange request.

A certain magician turned to look at the two nobles beside him in confusion and asked, "Is this a normal request?"

Baron Mahmoud remained calm and his expression remained unchanged, but his voice became more serious and he said, "This is His Majesty's guest."

"It's all the same. I suspect that the magic robe he is wearing contains dangerous magic. If he doesn't take it off, I can't allow him to enter the palace. This is all to protect His Majesty." The emperor's guard guarding the door said confidently.

Hearing this, Lin Yi shrugged and said, "In that case, I can only say that I am very sorry. Please convey to His Majesty the Emperor for me that I cannot go to see him."

After hearing someone's answer, the emperor's personal guard reached out and grabbed him without thinking. At the same time, he said: "Since you are here! I can't let you..."

People disappear.

"Walk……"

Efren, who didn't speak from beginning to end, stayed where he was, looking confused.

Baron Mahmoud, who was still aching from being greeted by the guards guarding the gate a few days ago, asked himself: What happened? who I am? What am I doing standing here?

Halfway through the words, the target was missing, and the emperor's bodyguard had not yet had time to put down his hand raised in the air. He turned his head, looked around, and asked, "Where are the people?"

Efren came back to his senses, stroking his forehead and wailing: "I am the magician who is best at escaping. How could I be caught by you!"

Baron Mahmoud, who was also aware of what had just happened, looked at Efren and asked: "Where are the carriages and guards who followed us to Estali?"

"After receiving the notice from Lord Baron, I asked them to return on the same day. I guess they are still on the road now, and they have walked about one-third of the way."

"Then we can...how to contact the magician?"

Efren knew that the answer was not very satisfactory, so he could only say cautiously: "If we don't consider using a carriage to meet that person, we can just use a fast horse and make another trip to Estali? It can be reached in about ten days." .”

Baron Mamud frowned and asked again: "Can you use the forum to contact the other party and invite the magician to come to the imperial capital again?"

"Obviously he is the inventor of the forum, but he never appears on the forum." Efren said weakly.

The guard, who still had his hand raised, was embarrassed. Although he lowered his hands in a nonchalant manner, fortunately the helmet covered his entire face and no one could see his expression.

But this does not mean that others will let him go. Baron Mahmoud was not polite at all. He stared at the guard who was still blocking the door and said: "I don't know what you think or who you listened to. But what happens here, I will not diminish. Tell your Majesty. Now please get out of the way, I have to go in to see His Majesty the Emperor. Or am I not even allowed to enter the palace?"

In fact, Baron Mamud felt something was wrong from the beginning. Because the number of people who usually guard the palace gate is no more than a small team. The rest of the people are resting and waiting in the guard rooms on both sides of the gate, and the gatekeepers will rotate regularly.

But today, half of the squadron, that is, five squads, appeared to guard the gate, directly blocking the originally quite spacious main entrance of the palace. If there were no problems behind this unusual arrangement, Baron Mamud could eat his own leather boots.

It is a pity that even if he is a close minister of the emperor, he is not qualified to command the personal guard regiment. Even if he wanted to warn...the magician ran away as soon as he disagreed with me, what a joke!

"I'm just doing my duty." With his face flushed and holding his breath, the guard squadron leader's neck became thicker. Fortunately, no one else could see this. He stepped aside and instructed the guards who were blocking the way to let go of the palace gate.

Baron Mahmoud walked a few steps and realized that Efren had not followed. He looked back and saw the young man in strange clothes hesitating in front of the palace. How could he not know what such a young man was worried about, so he said: "Since Your Majesty has given you the task, you must have an explanation. Even if you leave now, your father will catch you back." You’ll have to suffer a little bit. So why don’t you just go in with me.”

The practice of the emperor's family. If the descendants do not serve with enough dedication, or make mistakes in their work, the elders will not be used to it after they return, and it is standard procedure to get a beating first.

After all, the family is the emperor's tool. If the tool doesn't work well, other than being abandoned, is there any other way? Therefore, for the sake of the survival of the family, no one will raise children to be useless. Even if he really becomes a waste, he will be kept far away and will not be allowed to appear in front of the emperor.

Evren Muhaseybessi was unlucky enough to be the kind of child who was about to be judged as a waste and who had not been nurtured with all his heart. Baron Mahmoud knew this very well. But when something happened, it was impossible to let him make mistakes, so he gave him a hand and reminded him.

The young man who gave up his family responsibilities and devoted himself to the career of the gold coin goddess sighed silently. He knows very well what the family training is. At the same time, knowing that there was no way to escape this situation, he could only follow the elders in front of him into the palace.

But when Evron saw the emperor preparing to receive the magician, he regretted it. He should have been beaten by his father in recognition of his fault, and he should not have followed him in.

The place where the emperor was going to meet the magician was the meeting hall in the palace. This is where all the ministers gather to handle political affairs, receive foreign guests and nobles who come to see them.

At the same time, in addition to the emperor sitting on his throne in full attire, holding a scepter in his hand. The Imperial Chancellor, the Crown Prince, sits on the left side of the Emperor. All the ministers sit on the left side, and the personal ministers of the emperor's family sit on the right side. Some nobles whose status was not high enough and who had not obtained positions stood behind the ministers' seats.

This can be said to be a very high-level reception from the empire. The other four empires sent envoys, or the bishop of a powerful divine church was invited, but that was all.

But...what about today's protagonist?

Perhaps not many people knew Efren, who was dressed in strange clothes, but no one was unfamiliar with Baron Mahmoud, a close minister of the emperor. He was supposed to welcome the rumored magician and lead people directly into the palace and directly to the meeting hall.

So, what about people? Is that the young man in fancy clothes? That kid doesn't look like a magician.
