Chapter 1,279 Meeting
,!
Enthusiasm is an interesting emotion. It makes people get carried away and talk endlessly. Efren, who is passionate about banking affairs, recounted his experiences in Estali in the past few days one by one.
The modification of the suit did not take long. On the contrary, it took a long time to wait for the notification from Baron Mahmoud. While waiting, Efren did not just sit in the guest room.
In addition to opening his own bank account, he also chatted with the dark elf Melson about the work of the bank; he also talked with other active users about their banking experience. So Evren has a lot of stories to tell about the emperor's request.
But the person speaking may not be very organized. Making things clear is a skill. People who are not good at it may tell the same thing over and over again until they bore the listener.
At this time, the person you talk to is very important. Can you answer the question appropriately and ask the right question before the repeated words appear? There is no doubt that the old emperor Armin is a master.
His life experience and knowledge are not at the same level as Efron's, and he is even more experienced in using clichés. So within a few moments, the emperor asked him all about the content of Efren’s trip to Estali.
When the emperor finished hearing what he wanted to hear, Efren was still talking excitedly. But after listening to a few words and hearing nothing new, the old emperor stretched out his hand to stop the young man in front of him from continuing to express his opinions.
Although Efron displays enthusiasm, he is not without his eyesight. His Majesty the Emperor stretched out his hand to stop him. He immediately stopped speaking, lowered his head, took two steps back and waited. This is the etiquette of being a courtier.
Emperor Armin's index finger lightly clasped the armrest of the throne, and the sound went straight into people's hearts in this quiet environment, and it was also clear and loud. Efren couldn't help but become nervous again, thinking about whether he had said something he shouldn't have just said.
"Child." The old emperor suddenly spoke again, causing Efren to tense up and hurriedly pay attention, "-I ask you, in your opinion, what is the influence of that magician on the bank? Is it caused by Does he dominate everything?"
Efron answered in the negative without hesitation. Said: "Your Majesty, maybe the magician was right in making the whole plan. But I can guarantee that the leadership is in the hands of the Gold Coin Goddess. This is because everyone who comes into contact with the Gold Coin Goddess's great holy symbol can directly talk to the goddess. The facts can be seen. If the leading power is in the hands of that magician, then he must be using the name of the goddess to command everyone. This is not consistent with the facts. "
"What about his influence?" the old emperor asked again.
"I have had direct conversations with the Goddess of Gold Coins. Because I am a believer of the Goddess, I have had more opportunities to talk. According to the Goddess, when the rules change, He will sometimes ask the magician. Because He wants to confirm that there are no loopholes in the rules. , or what changes will follow after this rule is used. Only the magician can make a rough prediction about these things. Based on this, I have an inference..." At this point, Ev Lun also felt that he was a little rash.
Of course the old emperor knew what the young man was thinking, because he always only wanted his subordinates to say that there was solid evidence, and he would not waste his precious time on any speculations or delusions. Because most nobles have another purpose behind saying such words that appear out of thin air. They just want to find a random reason and bet on whether their request can pass the test.
However, given the situation at hand, he was actually interested in the 'speculations' of the young man from Muhashebesi's family in front of him. So the old emperor said: "Tell me about it, child. I won't blame you if you are wrong."
Efren lowered his head in panic and said: "Your Majesty, I guess that magician is a stranger. And the so-called bank is actually an organization he has executed or contacted. So when the gold coin goddess raised the question, he Only then can he answer. Because those things are what he has experienced. He already knows what the outcome will be."
Regarding Efren's conclusion, the old emperor fell into deep thought again. Indeed, in the report made by the guards on the magician, this conclusion was indeed a possibility in the report. After all, this person has too many groundbreaking inventions that cannot be traced back to, as if they appeared out of thin air.
The Lost Land is no stranger to foreigners. From time to time, such 'creatures' of unknown origin appear, and they are not necessarily human beings. But most of the time, these people will die quickly because they are not adapted to the lost land; even if they can survive, they may be annihilated among the crowd. Very few people can make waves and get into the big shot’s radar.
As for the treatment of strangers, most of them ignore it. Anyway, these people will soon destroy themselves.
But if the other party shows a certain value, no matter it is a noble or a magician, they will not mind using it for their own purposes and maximizing the value of the other party. As for the inhumanity of people in the process, it is not something that nobles or magicians need to consider.
If the other person shows value and strength at the same time, Midi will always show considerable tolerance and respect for the strong person, regardless of the other person's origin or some possible character flaws.
It was obvious that this magician was the kind who deserved respect. At least the old emperor didn't think that he could instruct the fourteenth son to fight the magician, and even if he fought, he might not win. This was certified by his most trusted cronies.
It is true that the Empire can deal with such people, but at what price is it willing to pay? Speaking of which, is such a person worth taking a gamble with?
That old guy Ricardo Carvey can be said to have thrown all his wealth into it. In the past few years, the old man's actions, as long as they were big and puzzling moves, had traces of the magician. In terms of consequences, it doesn't seem objectionable. It can even be said that some people are... envious.
It is a pity that the emperor's net worth is much richer than that of a grand duke, and the concerns and possible obstacles have doubled. I am past the age where I would be willing to make all-or-nothing decisions, so whether I should follow this bet or not is a question.
Emperor Armin Kazharnia clasped his fingers on the armrests, tapping them again and again. And this sound affected the heartbeats of everyone present.
"Invite the magician."
The old emperor's sudden words stunned everyone present. Seeing no one move, he said again: "Invite the magician. Now!"
Efren and Baron Mahmoud, the only two people who had any connection with the 'magician' in the emperor's mouth, suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention. However, Baron Mamoud also set his sights on Efren, and only this young man from the Muhashebesi family was stunned on the spot.
He regained his panic mood and said uneasily: "Your Majesty, let's... I'll go to Estali immediately. This will take some time."
"I can't wait that long and invite him immediately, no matter what method is used." Emperor Armin said decisively.
"But..." Efren didn't know how to explain his worry and resistance, so he just looked around. And it stayed the longest on the surrounding emperor's guards.
The old emperor guessed what he might be worried about and said, "Let the magician come directly here. There is no need to come in through the gate."
"This..." Efren still hesitated.
"My child, if you can do it, do it. If you can't do it, leave." The emperor's tone gradually became colder and no longer as warm as before.
Baron Mamud, Baron Muhashebesi and Baron Saville who were present all froze. They knew that this was a sign of the emperor's displeasure. If something happens next, someone may be in trouble, and others may even be implicated.
In fact, Efren's hesitation was not about how to reject the matter, but about how to complete the tasks assigned by the emperor. It is well known that the magician is unreachable from the forum. And he had no other way, such as a magic mirror, to contact the magician. So how should we find people?
Suddenly an idea flashed in his mind. Efren bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please allow me to temporarily withdraw from prayer."
Not much to say about the turmoil between imperial power and divine power. Without the emperor's permission, any church envoy who listens to the gods in front of the emperor will be regarded as a provocation, so Evren must ask.
The old emperor also realized how the young man in front of him planned to find the magician. Of course he would not refuse, and even said that he had a sense of urgency in his heart, urging him to find the magician as soon as possible and find out the matter. So the old emperor nodded, pointed to a corner of the small hall and said, "You don't have to go far, just stay aside."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Efren stepped back and took off the Koyin collar badge pinned to his collar. Originally, this collar badge was pinned to the collar of the suit, but now the suit was donated to the Savile family for sampling. However, the collar badge was not a complete part of the suit, and it was the holy emblem of the Goddess of Gold Coins, so he collected it separately. Get up, don't do it to yourself.
The communication with the goddess went very smoothly, so smoothly that Evren would have thought that it was so easy for all believers to talk to gods. But the feedback from the Gold Coin Goddess made him a little puzzled. He said softly:
"You want me to stand by the window? Your Majesty, what does this mean?"
"Well, I'm on the second floor.
"Yes, yes, please tell Mr. Tripwood the Great Magician that our emperor invites him to come in directly.
"Hello, hello? Your Majesty Ke Yin..."
Someone suddenly appeared in the small hall, patted Efren on the shoulder, and said in greeting: "Hey, why did you come to see me?"
"Your Majesty the Great Magician, I finally meet you." Emperor Armin Kazalnia said.
Lin, who turned his head, was still wearing the black and silver Xuanwu robe. He first looked at the people in the small hall with confusion. It was the first time for most people to meet him, so there was no identity of these people in his records. Even so, it did not prevent him from judging the status of these people based on their clothing and position.
One of the most appropriate judgment criteria is of course the family crest that most nobles have. As for the national emblem of the Gwana Empire, which is similar in style, only one person is allowed to possess it, and that is the current emperor, Armin Kazharnia. As members of the royal family, their badge styles are somewhat different from the national emblem and the emperor's emblem.
Although a certain person does not have a deep understanding of noble heraldry, he still remembers the fact that special attention must be paid to it. Lin performed the etiquette of a magician and said: "The great magician Guybrash Tripwood greets you, His Majesty the Emperor of the Gwana Empire."
