Chapter Five Hundred and Fifty-Three [Disaster Palace](1/2)
This scene is very strange.
A white-robed mage posed as the most charming and slapped at the emperor's feet. Duoduoluo didn't know that he had set another record: no white-robed mage had ever been so charming and humble to others!
Even in history, even if some white-clothed mages met an existence that was more noble and powerful than themselves, they would never bow down to the point where Duoduo Luo is now! They actually knelt at the feet of someone and almost kissed the other person's boots! Such a posture is simply a shame for the entire magic world!!!
What Emperor Garcia didn't know was that he accidentally broke a record: among the emperors of the Byzantine Empire, no Emperor Shen had ever enjoyed his treatment now, and even a white-clothed mage crawled at his feet! The founding emperor had never enjoyed such a majesty, and the wise emperors of all generations had never enjoyed it, but fell on the puppet Emperor Shen, who was extremely weak, which had to be said to be a wonderful irony.
Duoduo had already started to speak with tears and tears.
"Your Majesty! My name is Dodoro! Yes, as you can see, I am a magician, and the gods promise that I have now advanced to a white-clothed mage. Oh no, no, this is not important, what is important is that I have always hoped to be loyal to Your Majesty from the bottom of my heart! Yes, this is what I have always dreamed of! Even if I have experienced the most dangerous encounter on the wildfire field, when I was fighting with those horse thieves who came and went like the wind, when I was fighting with those dirty and cunning goblins, when I was fighting with those irritable dwarves, even when I slaughtered that terrible dragon, even when I was slaughtering that terrible dragon, even when my life was at its most critical moment, this wish in my heart never weakened! Ah! I should come to you and contribute all my strength to you!!"
Dodoro's application for confession almost made Garcia dizzy.
Fortunately, Garcia is not a fool. In Dodoro's words, the emperor keenly captured several important messages!
Have fought with horse thieves, fought with goblins, fought with dwarves…”Oh my god! He even slaughtered the dragon?!
It is obvious that this vulgar guy in front of him has a powerful strength that he doesn't want to match his appearance!
A magician with outstanding strength..." But he knelt in front of him and swore to be loyal to him?!!!
A warm flame surged in Garcia's heart, as if she had won a grand prize, staring at the white-clothed mage in front of her with wide eyes.
Huang Shen swallowed hard and spitted hard, saying hard: "Your Magister, I don't remember any favors I have ever given to you..." I don't even remember that I have seen you with an outstanding white-clothed mage like you. Then you..."
"No, no, Your Majesty, you have never seen me.
"Duoduoluo jumped up and patted the dust on his white robe hard, but a firm expression appeared on his face: "But I, Duoduoluo, is a conscientious person! I have already sworn allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor in my heart. No matter whether I am a mortal or a white-clothed mage, such a vow will not change."
Garcia took a deep breath: "Old Master Duoduolu, I still don't understand, you..."
"Your Majesty!" The call of Dodoro with affection made Garcia suddenly feel like he was standing up. Dodoro continued to say in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you may not know. Dodoro actually lived in the imperial capital back then! My ancestors used to serve the royal family in the palace and received the blessings of the royal family. So when I was very young, my parents told me that I must have a heart that is loyal to the royal family!"
Descendants of people in the palace?!
This did not happen to Garcia.
In fact, the palace feeds many people, not just those waiters in the palace.
In the Byzantine palace, there are two types of waiters. One is the closest attendant who specializes in serving the core members of the royal family, such as the emperor or queen. These people often go through the strictest selection to ensure that there must be no problems with loyalty.
In addition to these close servants, there are some outside servants in the palace. The outside servants include various technicians, such as various craftsmen, who are specialized in creating needed utensils for the palace or repairing various things. They include tailors, chefs, carpenters, blacksmiths, utensils and other personnel. The treatment of these people is quite good, while the lower-level servants are small servants at the bottom, who specialize in some difficult labor tasks.
Dodoro claimed that his ancestors were from the palace, so it was obvious that they were not close servants. Because Garcia was very clear about the information about the close servants, and the management and selection were very strict.
Then..." Perhaps the ancestor of the magical sect in front of him was a craftsman in the palace or something?
Dodoro soon reported a name, and then Garcia, who was overjoyed, immediately sent someone to find the court manager and retrieve the roster in the palace. After checking, there was indeed such a person. He was a carpenter who once worked in the palace.
"That's my father." Dodoro wiped his tears.
Dodoro is not afraid of being exposed. In fact, his own life experience is not recorded in the Magic Guild. As for the name reported now, it was visited by the guy Dax during his days in the imperial capital. The real owner of this name has been dead for many years, and even if he has to investigate, it will not be clear in a few days.
Even though Garcia thought this was too incredible, she had to believe it now.
The white-clothed wizard in front of me really came to my house to be loyal to me?
Logically speaking, such a strange thing will naturally make people feel very suspicious, but now the emperor can't help but believe it.
Why?
The white-clothed mage in front of me is a superb master! The white-clothed mage is now a rare figure in the empire. The magician has always been uninterested in secular power, which makes many people not regard the magician as a threat.
At the same time, Garcia really doesn't feel that her current situation is anything to make the other party plan.
Isn't it? The other party is a young and promising genius white-clothed mage who has a bright future. And what about me? Although I am named the Emperor of the Empire..." Now everyone knows it.
Speaking of which, I just have one more emperor title than the other party. Apart from that, I really have nothing better than this magician. Power? I can't even leave the palace with my current orders! Wealth? The cost of the palace has been reduced again and again! Everyone knows the wealth of the magician.
As an empty puppet emperor, you really don’t have to worry about what the other party is trying to seek for.
Then..." Is it really God's promise? My Kronma family should not be dead? God sees my situation too difficult, so in fate, such an extraordinary magician has arranged for him to assist me?
Garcia began to be excited and her heart became hot. Looking at Duoduoluo, she felt that this vulgar guy seemed to be much more pleasing to her.
Well! It must be like this! It seems that the gods really favor me recently! I sent General Lear, who was outstanding and in the same condition as me, and now I have sent such a great magician!
The bishop of the church who came with Dodoro almost turned his nose awkward!
Is this Duoduolu a madman? It is clear that he has a bright future for loyalty to the church and the Magic Guild! Even His Majesty appreciates him so much! But this madman was not moved at all, but came to be loyal to the royal family? Don’t you know that the royal family is already in turmoil? More importantly, the church has always had not had such a harmonious relationship with the royal family! If Duoduolu was not a white-clothed wizard, the bishop would be so angry that he cursed on the spot. He was not jealous of any kind! He didn’t know how to politely!!!
But where does Garcia have time to care about the face of this bishop?
The emperor was extremely happy! Finally, there was another master around him who could show off!
Although the mysterious middle-aged man around him was at the realm of a strong man, it was a pity that before Adrick's political change, he sent him to kill Adrick, but he never returned... There was no news now. Well, Adrick also had a master guard around him, but he couldn't even solve the problem of a strong man... And the middle-aged man has never come back, I think it's a lot of luck.
Garcia was naturally depressed. But he was helpless and had nothing left. There were only a few hundred imperial guards in the palace who were still loyal to him, and the center of the imperial capital was the old prime minister who was still loyal to him. The other ministers and noble tribes were probably all fence-bearing! Either go to hug Adrick's big legs or secretly talk to Duke Minas!
At this time, the Master Duoduoluo in front of him became even more and more precious!
A righteous man! He is simply a rare righteous man!!
The emperor, who became happier the more he thought about it, immediately spoke up and ordered Duoduoluo to be the chief magician of the palace and the personal magic consultant of His Majesty the Emperor.
What made the emperor blush a little was that the reward he could give to Duoduolu was only limited to these. For the others, he really had nothing to do.
However, Duoduo solved the embarrassment of the emperor and made a small request: he had a friend who was a person who was a crime. Because he was a descendant of a sinner in a major case in the imperial capital, he could not see people in his true face now.
After hearing this, Garcia waved his hand generously: "What's the matter? I'll write you a pardon order in person!"
Garcia naturally knew about the big case in the imperial capital back then. It was a means by the former emperor Contos to cleverly eliminate the opposition forces in the Senate. Although Contos’s methods were bloody, in Garcia’s view, it was just the normal trick of the emperor.
Besides, so many years have passed, and the matter of that year has long been over, and the Senate has been in a slump and no longer threatened. The people involved were basically dead. As for the friend Duoduolu mentioned, he was just a child back then, so what could it matter? If he was forgiven, he would be forgiven, and it was just a matter of one sentence.
What's more, Garcia couldn't help but feel a little emotional, even if she didn't forgive her, so what if she didn't forgive her? Now the emperor is just a puppet, and there are warlords everywhere. Who would care about the crimes of the case back then? Even if she didn't forgive her, she would still live well. Now she would ask for a pardon, probably just a psychological comfort.
The pardon order was quickly written, and the Emperor Secret enthusiastically invited Duoduo to have dinner together. Duoduo accepted it happily, and the bishop of the church naturally had no good expression and left. Before leaving, he looked at Duoduoduo several times, and his eyes were far less enthusiastic than when he came.
Duoduo sighed in his heart. Actually, the Pope is really good to him, but there is no way. He came with a task. If he doesn't hug the emperor's big legs, how can he just go into the palace to do things?
The guests and guests had a dinner together, and Garcia sent someone to invite Lear to have a meal together. Dodoro finally saw Lear, the real master, but his eyes did not change at all. He just gave a few words of reserve. However, Lear saw that Dodoro was actually a white-clothed mage, and Garcia happily announced that he had named Dodoro as the chief magician of the palace. This guy Li was the kind of person who was best at climbing up the rod. When he met a white-clothed mage like Dodoro, he naturally had to do his best to make friends. If this guy deliberately made friends with others, he would be really skillful.
This made Duoduolu confirm some of the conjectures that Dax said.
"This Lil is definitely not the kind of person who is willing to leave the will of fate when he is waiting for death. If the last one is not the last one, this guy will definitely not give up. Such a person has the ability to disrupt the right and wrong wherever he is thrown. Based on my understanding of Lil, he must have done it deliberately when he arrives in the palace and makes friends with the emperor. If he wants to take him away, it will be difficult to make him obedient. This Lil is not a fool. Even if we show that we are a person from Xia, he will not follow us obediently. He is in the Besta Army
When I was in the district, I was played with that woman in the palm of my hand. Now that I have made friends with the emperor in the imperial capital, I must have some ideas and I will never go back with us, and I will be a puppet in Xia's hands. So..." Dax had only one conclusion about Lear: "It is impossible to follow us by himself. It is even more difficult to steal people from the palace where he is very cautious and does not know if there are any powerful masters to guard. Then there is only one way to get Lear away."
Dudoro remembered that when he said this, Dax's tone became very strange.
"Creating a big mess in the palace and trying to find a way to drag Lear into the water! We will create the biggest desperate situation for Lear, so that he can't stay in the palace! Even the emperor can't protect him and keep him! Only when he is really in a desperate situation, will he obediently listen to us and follow us!"
※※※While Dodoro was having a cup of tea with Garcia and Lear in the palace, Dax was not idle either.
Although the imperial capital was poisoned by war, the port dock area has been quickly rebuilt purely because the port had to transport a large number of aid supplies transported by the Lantis fleet, which allowed the port to be rebuilt quickly.
The once lively port trade market seems to have become a huge military port. The lively scene of the streets filled with various chambers of commerce flags can no longer be seen.
At this moment, there are only a few chambers of commerce that have opened their doors to do business in the port market, and they are simply dealing with the official, responsible for handling the allocation of some materials transported by sea.
The best businessman is undoubtedly the Galens Chamber of Commerce. Now everyone knows that this Galens Chamber of Commerce has a deep background in the Kingdom of Landis. Even the former leader of the Galens Chamber of Commerce in Byzantine, the fat man named Guro, was the official of the Landis Kingdom. When the rebels occupied Osgilia, the Landis Navy fought the port, and the Galens Chamber of Commerce and Guro put a lot of effort into being an insider. Afterwards, their Landis background could naturally be hidden. But even so, the almost public Landis tentacles of the Galens Chamber of Commerce were still very comfortable to examine. Because the central central of the Byzantine Empire is currently inseparable from the assistance of the Landis.
And that Guro had already left Osgilia and returned to his report. It is said that the guy was promoted because of his outstanding performance and has become a core senior official of the General Office of the Intelligence Supervision Bureau of the Kingdom of Landis.
Now the person in charge of the Gallens Chamber of Commerce in Osgilia was a guy sent from Landis for a short time, but I don’t know if this is a tradition of the Landis Kingdom intelligence system or a coincidence. The person sent this time, like his predecessor Guro, is actually a fat man.
The fat man's name is Goethe and a great poet in history. But this Goethe is by no means a gentleman. It is said that he was transferred from the army of the Kingdom of Landis. He is a murderous and cruel guy!
And now, this cruel guy was sitting across the table with Dax. His face, which was originally decisive and cruel, looked dejected, as if he was looking at Dax.
But Dax, who was honest and unceremonious, held the cup and drank a lot of wine, and then Dax slapped the cup and said loudly: "Goethe, are you talking! You guy has become like that sissy Guro?"
Goethe sighed, looked at Dax's eyes with a pleading look, and muttered, "That..." Husband, what did you ask me to say? Your request is really human..." It's so difficult that I don't have that kind of authority at all! No! You are simply crazy. Even if I have authority, I can't agree to such a thing..." Even if I help you send messages back to the country, the old guys in the General Administration will never agree. You know, that guy Gu Luo has become our boss now, and he is the most cautious. If I ask him for advice from you, that guy will definitely not agree."
Dax slanted his nose and eyes: "Who told you to ask for instructions?"
After pausing, Dax whispered: "You are the leader here now, and you are a prince. How can you ask the superiors for everything before doing it? You guy has been very happy from being solemn and decisive. Why has he become like this now?"
"Bad!" Goethe became angry and couldn't help but raise his tone: "You asked me to help you hijack..."
He quickly lowered his voice and glanced at Dax again: "I will never dare to agree to such a thing."
Dax was not in a hurry, but counted his fingers and whispered slowly: "Eleventh year ago, in Poker Bay, someone was tied to an anchor by those pirates and threw them into the sea. Who helped to catch them? Nine years ago, in Odin, someone exposed his identity in Odin and offended those barbaric tribes. Who rushed in to save people alone. Seven years ago, someone and the prince's son were almost framed and lost their official position. Who helped collect the prince's evidence of guilt and brought down the old slut that old gangster egg to restore your official position? Five years ago..."
"Stop! Stop!!" Goethe blushed: "Okay OK! OK, you can shut your mouth."
He shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Mom, I know you will mention these..." You saved my life six times in total and helped me eleven times. If it weren't for you, I would have been finished now. I owe you too much, okay!" Goethe said angrily: "Mom, you slept with my sister, but later broke up with her. Why don't you mention this account? Hum!"
Dax couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and he laughed in a low voice: "Your sister later married the Marquis, wouldn't it be a hundred times more prosperous than a person like me..." Alas."
Goethe raised his eyelids and glanced at Dax, and suddenly looked solemn: "Mr., we are friends..." Perhaps in your heart, you have never had friends. But I always regard you as a friend."
"Yeah." Dax nodded.
Goethe's tone was more serious: "I know a little about your tasks. The superiors sent you to Byzantium to make you feel storm.
You chose Xia Leiming and went to his side. You have done enough these days. But you seem to have forgotten your identity. Are you really planning to follow that guy Xia Leiming? Don't forget, after all..."
"I'm not a Landis." Dax shook his head slowly: "So you don't have to tell me nonsense about loyalty. I joined the Landis General Intelligence Agency, you know why, I'm just interested in destroying the Byzantine Trial Royal Family. The most likely person to do this now is that guy Charleming. As for Landis..." To be honest, I have worked enough for Landis over the years. In short, the credit I have made has long been enough for me to be a Marquis and Earl, but I never really want to hang up. You know why."
"I..." I know." Goethe sighed in a low voice: "Landis, after all, is not your motherland." Then he raised his head and looked at Dax: "But..." Is Byzantium your motherland?! Don't forget your life experience, husband!"
Dax's smile became a little weird: "I know that Landis is not my motherland. Byzantium has long stopped leaving! So, I am following the boss of Charleming now just to have someone in the future..."
To be continued...
