Chapter 2705 Entering the Palace for an Audience
Seeing Mr. Mage's expression as if he swallowed a fly alive, Slude was in a very happy mood. He patted his brother on the shoulder and was so happy that he could not close his mouth from ear to ear.
"Haakon! You still know how to speak, so say a few more words!"
...
Joan made an appointment with Mr. Franklin, Conti, and Walsunger brothers and sisters to attend the palace banquet at seven o'clock tonight, and he himself changed into a decent dress two hours in advance, under the supervision of Conti and Slude After combing and dressing up, I had an audience with His Majesty the Emperor alone.
The carriage sent by the palace was already waiting in front of the hotel, Joan hurriedly got rid of the two ladies who were still helping him with ideas, went out to meet the court attendants, and drove into the palace.
Under the guidance of the attendants, Joan walked along a corridor to the door of His Majesty's royal study. The palace decorations he saw along the way were not as gorgeous and extravagant as imagined, and were far from the palace style of the Holy Ashan Empire.
Perhaps because the rise of the Kolas Empire is still short, the royal family lacks the background of an old empire, and its taste is not elegant and luxurious, but from another perspective, the Far Eastern court advocates a simple and practical style, which is in line with the aggressive and prosperous temperament of this country. fit.
After the attendant reported, he opened the door not long after and invited Qiao An to come in for an audience.
Not long ago, Joan had met His Majesty the Emperor of the Kolas Empire in the virtual meeting room of Yunwang. The real Roland I was almost indistinguishable from the image created by illusion. It stands to reason that "one life is two life "Familiar", but when the youngest and handsome emperor in the Vales world stood up to greet him with a smile, and shook hands with him, the young mage still couldn't help his heart beating faster, and his cheeks were slightly hot.
This is not pure nervousness, nor is it deterred by the other party's noble status.
A socially phobic person like Joan would be somewhat nervous when dealing with any stranger, it doesn't matter if the other party is an emperor or just a vegetable seller.
Besides, he is a person who has seen the world at any rate. He had met the crown prince in the holy city of Asan many years ago, which is now His Majesty Frank VII. The other party's status is not inferior to Roland Colas, Joe When Ann met him, she didn't have this feeling of blushing and heartbeat.
When evaluating a person's appearance and temperament, the eyes of the same sex are often more harsh than those of the opposite sex.
Even though Joan looked at His Majesty Roland from the perspective of a "straight man of steel", he had to admit that the other party was absolutely worthy of the title of "the most beautiful man in the world".
Tall and muscular figure, handsome yet masculine appearance, friendly smile, these are not the most attractive features of His Majesty Roland. In fact, in terms of appearance alone, neither is Joan, who is as handsome as him. I haven't seen it before, the key is that His Majesty Roland is surrounded by a special aura.
This kind of aura based on charm is originally a very subjective feeling, and it has different evaluations in the eyes of different observers. Some people think it is chic and handsome, but another person may find it ordinary or even disgusting.
However, the charm of the emperor of the Far East is ridiculously high!
It has surpassed subjective barriers such as race, gender, and aesthetics. Like a raging flame, anyone who gets close to him will feel the scorching influence, and can't help but feel good about him, and even have the urge to worship him.
This is no longer pure charm, but almost supernatural magic!
Joan touched the topaz amulet that he carried with him, and he didn't know whether the "spiritual barrier" could stop His Majesty Roland's powerful charm. At the same time, he was also glad that he had an audience with the Emperor of the Far East as a man. Otherwise, wouldn't it be "love at first sight" in case so awkward?
In fact, he really wants to activate the "Advanced Internal Vision" right now to see how high His Majesty Roland's charisma attribute is. It is guaranteed to be much higher than his own intelligence attribute, but it would be too rude to do so. I can only temporarily restrain my curiosity and bow respectfully.
Roland smiled and waved his hands, indicating that the young mage did not need to be formal, and invited him to sit down and drink tea.
"Dr. Vader, welcome to Fort Colas as a guest. This is the meeting ceremony that was agreed at the beginning. I hope you will not be disappointed."
Joan quickly thanked him, took the envelope with both hands, opened it, and inside it contained the documents to hire him as a visiting professor at the Officiant Law School of the University of Corrasberg, the key to the apartment specially provided for him, and a piece of exquisite workmanship Black enchanted card.
"That is the borrowing card with the highest authority in the University Library of Collasberg. With this card, you can consult all the collections of documents, including high-level spell scrolls that are not open to the public. Among them are the 9-ring 'unlocking' you are looking for." surgery'."
After listening to Roland's introduction, Qiao An felt a little more at ease. This trip to the Far East was finally not in vain.
"Nikita will also be present at today's dinner. She is the new dean of the College of Law at Collasburg University. You will be colleagues in the future. If you have any problems in work and life, you can ask her to solve them at any time, Nikki. If the tower can't solve it, you can come to me."
"Thank you Your Majesty for your concern. Ms. Dean must be busy with business. If I encounter a problem that I can't solve, I will ask her for help and try not to disturb her."
Joan hasn't met Ms. Nikita herself yet, but she has long heard that she is a young and beautiful archmage, and one of the rumored mistresses of His Majesty the Emperor. Go to the front of others, so as not to cause misunderstanding.
After chatting about food and daily life for a while, Joan remembered the old man Franklin's repeated exhortations, so he took the initiative to bring the topic to politics, and asked His Majesty the emperor in as tactful terms as possible why he was so indifferent to the cause of independence in the New World and had not yet promised to provide military assistance; Instead, he took the initiative to provide free opportunities for Aboriginal youths in the New World to study abroad.
The old man Franklin had a lot of resentment towards the Far Eastern authorities for favoring one another over the other. When Roland invited him to dinner last time, the old man was also rude and brought it up in person. Unfortunately, His Majesty the Emperor didn't answer the question at all, and just laughed it off.
The old man Franklin was unwilling to reconcile, and today he specifically told Joan that before entering the palace to meet, he must find an opportunity to ask His Majesty Roland this question in person, and try to get him to say a few words of truth.
"This question sounds familiar." Roland smiled slightly and asked back: "Dr. Vader, before I answer your question, I would like to know how you, as a descendant of colonists, view the aborigines of the New World. "
Joan pondered for a moment, and replied solemnly: "Your Majesty, I have many aboriginal friends in the New World, and I know that there are deep conflicts between the colonists and the aborigines. The two elders I respect have spent their entire lives trying to resolve racial conflicts, trying to It was a pity that they all failed to make the colonists and the natives live in harmony and become one big family."
