As for 'visitors from another world', they should be arrested and sliced into pieces by the research institutions of various governments, or arrested by intelligence agencies and tortured for various unknown information about their place of origin. This is someone who has violated the preconceived notions of the people on earth. In fact,
The situation is not so dire.
For people in the Lost World, visitors from other worlds are not an unfamiliar concept. Such as the four elemental planes, the shadow world, the abyss, and even the underground world that is on the same star but has its own ecosystem. The residents of these places
They often appear in mysterious places. Even ordinary people have the opportunity to come into contact with these visitors from other worlds, instead of only hearing about these people from unconfirmed rumors.
So even if someone's origin of birth is made public, it's probably like asking a black guy on the road where he came from in his hometown on Earth. As a result, the other person said in a standard and correct manner: I'm from the Republic of Xilihulugalagala.
, in this kind of situation, the listener would probably just say "Oh" and then forget about the name of the country that may not even be found on the globe.
Unless today's black guy is dressed as a Middle Eastern tycoon, with a gold chain around his neck thicker than his own arm, it might make passers-by look at him more, or even covet him. But no one would want to
He would arrest and slice them into slices, or interrogate them about the inside story of the Ji La Gu La Republic.
In the eyes of the natives of Lost Land, Lin's status as a visitor from another world is just that. Unless someone shows interest that touches people's hearts today, he will seduce others' greed and make irrational actions. But if that goal
When it has grown to a level that cannot be underestimated, the person who covets it will certainly not give up on his desires, but he will use more rational methods instead of fooling around.
Besides, Juan Javier is a very principled person when it comes to making friends. At least he knows not to gossip behind other people’s backs. People who like to do this are either mean by nature or have few friends. Juan’s good popularity is precisely the reason for establishing
He understands the relationship between friends. So for him, Lin's identity is just to satisfy his curiosity. It has no other meaning. The friendship remains the same.
In the holy city of Estali, far away from the hustle and bustle, people were spending this pleasant time renovating the airship Gauss Bertone. At the same time, the capital of the Gwane Empire ushered in a wave of ideological changes.
Shock. It started more than half a month ago:
In the emperor's palace, Armin Kazalnia is listening to the report from the Guards Corps and looking through the information in his hand.
Although the Imperial Guards are called a legion, they do not act like regular legions. Instead, they serve as the emperor's eyes and ears, scattered in pieces inside and outside the empire, spying on news of all sizes. The main targets of defense are the feudal nobles of all parties.
Until the end of the year.
It is the custom of the Gwana Empire to hold an audience ceremony every New Year. The emperor's vassals must come to the capital and the palace in person to greet the emperor. At the same time, they offer what the nobles from all over the country should give in the old year.
Pay tribute.
Such rules have been established since the founding of the country. The purpose is not for the emperor to maintain emotional contact with his vassals, but to consume the strength of the nobles. After all, the empire has a vast territory, and some nobles who live far away, in order to
This annual audience requires a large amount of time and money to prepare, and one has to leave early in order to arrive in the capital in time for the New Year.
In the past, there was only one situation where people were allowed to miss the New Year's audience, and that was when the territory was invaded by other countries. In other situations, even if the patient was about to die, he had to be carried to the capital, so that the emperor could shed a few tears under false pretenses.
Shedding tears, she said some beautiful words about the harmony between the king and his ministers.
If you are absent, it means you are not convinced; if you are not convinced, you will fight. In the history of the empire, there are countless people who have been deprived of titles and taken away territories for such reasons.
However, with the passage of time, such rules have been somewhat modified today. In addition to the invasion of territory, illness, old age and other unfavorable circumstances, with prior notification and permission, the heir or legal person of the title is allowed to be
Spouse, who attends on my behalf.
The key point is to get permission. To put it simply, if the emperor thinks it is OK, then anything is OK; if the emperor thinks it is not OK, then he has to tighten his skin a little. The continuation of the life and the family all depends on the supreme thought.
Today, the report submitted by the guards is about the movements of the nobles who will meet in the New Year. There is no need to say more about those who will attend in person. The focus is on those who cannot come. What is the reason for being unable to come in person? Is there any?
Submit a formal written application? Who will attend on behalf of you? Have you already set off in time to attend the New Year’s audience?
Flipping through the paper information, the old emperor struggled to read the handwriting that his subordinates had deliberately enlarged when writing with his dimmed old eyes.
As an old empire, no matter how convenient today's forums are, some habits and systems are not so easy to change. What's more, the cause of the old emperor's vision loss is not just presbyopia, but also has other symptoms. Those are not just enlarging the font size.
, you can see clearly. However, the guards have no better way, so they can only use as many people as possible.
"Isn't he planning to come this year?" the old emperor suddenly asked.
As the head of the imperial guard who has served the emperor for a long time, of course he knows who the Supreme Lord is asking. One of the sixteen grand dukes of the empire, Ricardo Carvey. He was once the spear in the emperor's hand and the most loyal old dog.
.
The friendship between the two was established even earlier when they were students, and they studied under the same teacher. The one was one of the first people to follow the crown prince. It can be said that the most spectacular moment in the emperor's life will definitely be around him.
There was that great duke who fought alongside him.
However, the turning point came one year when the Grand Duke's most beloved youngest son, the Marquis and Marquis of Balan, died unexpectedly. This made him, who had great martial arts skills but was already physically and mentally exhausted in the political arena, unable to continue. After getting permission, he launched
His eldest son, the heir to the grand duke, stayed behind and continued to serve the emperor. And he himself returned to the Dukedom of Kawei and lived a semi-hermit life.
The reason why he is said to be in semi-seclusion is because from time to time, news of what the Grand Duke has done reaches the capital of the empire. But no matter what it is, except for the affairs within his own territory, everything else has nothing to do with it.
It has nothing to do with politics. Even when he was entrusted with the mediation between nobles, he asked his eldest son to intervene and no longer intervened personally.
Since the Grand Duke's semi-seclusion, every New Year's audience has been attended by his heir, the eldest son, Marquis Farshid. And he himself has never submitted any application, relying on His Majesty the Emperor's trust, he attends every New Year's audience.
After a year passed, the old emperor also asked about it every year, but there was nothing he could do about it every year.
This year's situation is no different from previous years, so the leader of the imperial guards reported back: "Your Majesty, before the sun sets, the Grand Duke did not set out from his territory, nor did he apply. This year, even if he wanted to attend the audience, he would not be able to make it in time."
As long as there are no accidents on the way, the march of the audience team, which route they take, and how much time it takes, will generally not be much different from previous years. So the leader of the imperial guards reported this to the emperor.
"Hmm." He snorted softly. The old emperor did not make any further remarks, and it was impossible for anyone to detect his thoughts. I wonder if that person's favor is as good as ever.
