Lin would certainly make use of the help from the leading party. However, it was not possible to set off immediately after making an agreement with William. He had to make some preparations.
And it's not like just two people go on the road, Lin also plans to bring a few elves to fight. After all, he has the identity of the electorate of the gold goddess. If he has to do everything by himself, it will be too unsightly. Bring some
It is normal for an assistant to support the scene.
Besides, the first impression of communication between people is still based on the appearance. Who the hell explores the inner world when they meet for the first time? It is still possible to explore personal depths, strengths and weaknesses.
Two hammers running up to the palace to talk about something is different from bringing a group of beautiful elves to talk about something in a grand manner. This is why those powerful people are very particular about this aspect.
At this time, it is not appropriate to bring your own apprentices to the stage. In the same words, the cards are not enough. After all, even their teacher is nothing in the eyes of such a behemoth as the empire, let alone a mere magic apprentice.
Perhaps William Greco's 'Sword Master' is a rare title that he can get, but this is a guest of the Turtle Dove Alliance! After meeting him in person, he was not kicked out by the imperial officials, which is considered to be sincere enough by the officials.
Therefore, the elves Lin is planning to bring must be the best of each wood elf tribe or elf kingdom. In the future, most of them will also become bank clerks stationed in the imperial city of Karlsruhe. Such candidates are not needed
Someone will take care of it personally, and the goddess and the World Trees can definitely pick out the right person.
On the one hand, with the development of banks now, everyone has noticed that clerks stationed in various places do not actually need much professional knowledge and skills. The only key point is to be able to play! Because most of the time, clerks in banks are in
Deal with certain irrational emergencies instead of introducing those financial products used for theft and deception with a sweet smile.
During the preparation time, Lin also asked William to find out more about the Karlsruhe Empire. Although the forum is full of all kinds of information, there is no such thing as a city travel guide here!
If it's a map of some high-risk areas, the range of Warcraft activities, or the distribution range of rare plants and minerals, you can buy enough detailed information at most by spending a little money. But things like 'tourism' are not yet the mainstream of Lost Lands.
activities, there is no one to make some introduction or key introduction to a city.
Even if you try to use the forum index designed by Kaya to integrate scattered intelligence, you can't do what someone wants to see. Most of the hidden comments are about certain private matters. What Lin wants to know
It's a big-picture introduction similar to the content in a history book, but there's nothing like that.
So when it comes to a new location, it’s really important for a local cog to be willing to lead the way.
Unfortunately, the impression of the Karlsruhe Empire was too old, and William could only describe the characteristics of mountains and rivers. This is especially true for the Greco family. In the environment of mountains and rivers
, the Greco family operates a water transportation business.
According to William, in his impression, in addition to carrying bags, the men in the family also fight. They often hear news that someone's boat was scuttled and people sank into the water. It may not be true.
It happened at their house. It might be an enemy, a friend, or just a passerby who heard Tu's story.
That's why William couldn't guarantee whether his former family still existed after no contact for so long.
In fact, if a traveler compares the history of his hometown, it is not difficult to imagine where William's worries come from. Speaking of which, his family is like the Cao Gang. Although these two words seem to run through the entire history of Jiangnan, the fact is
The composition inside has changed over and over again.
As the saying goes: People are not as good as a thousand days, and flowers are not as red as a hundred days. Also, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. This kind of business that relies on hard work is too easy to be replaced. That's why William would say, such a long time has passed
, the family may no longer exist.
Even though there are tools like forums to facilitate communication, it is not easy to confirm whether a person or a family exists without a specific contact method. So Lin has no way to make more confirmations.
And ask for more information. Anyway, William has promised to follow him, so everything can only be done according to circumstances.
The preparation time is very short, mainly because the preliminary work has been completed, and everyone just packs their luggage. The more troublesome thing is that you have to make an appointment with the person on the other side before you can smoothly enter the capital of an empire.
Don't look at the fact that the flash spell is very convenient, and you can go anywhere without any hindrance. In fact, it can be regarded as a kind of illegal entry. Although the Lost Land is primitive, and travelers such as adventurers and mercenaries can be seen everywhere, their movements are
It has been guaranteed by the Adventurer's Guild and the Mercenary Guild, and has been approved by the border checkpoint.
To understand it in terms of the earth's model, the guarantees from the two major guilds or from other places are like passports. The invitation letter obtained from the goddess Koin is like an entry visa. Through these procedures, you can avoid clear
The fact of the crime is that criminals move across borders. But it's not very efficient.
When Lin entered the Armenian Elf Kingdom in the past, he deliberately obtained a letter of introduction from the Athem Elf Kingdom at the border to pass customs, and then he could successfully enter the royal city of the Armenian Elf Kingdom. Although it was troublesome, and it took a lot of time to queue up.
It takes time, but this can avoid some unnecessary troubles. In any case, there is no basis for mutual trust between the two parties in the early stage.
Without these legal procedures and entering the country legally, I am afraid that it would be easy for people to find fault in formal occasions. This may have a bad impact on the promotion of the bank. So of course Lin must find a way to avoid it.
However, he didn’t want to copy the procedure of entering the Elf Kingdom again, which was troublesome and time-consuming. Since the invitation was given to the Goddess of Gold Coins, it shouldn’t be too much for her envoys to enjoy some conveniences. The Earth also has special customs clearance for diplomatic envoys.
What about the program?
I didn't do it at first because I didn't have enough standing. From the perspective of the purpose, it was to plot against the World Tree to which the Elf Kingdom belongs, and it was a tactic to show others weakness first. But now it is to promote the bank, not only relying on gold coins
The face of the goddess, let alone the face of the goddess, cannot be compromised. Showing too much weakness cannot be done. As the saying goes, this moment, that moment.
After everything was connected and ready, Lin, William Greco and the selected elves appeared outside the north gate of Neucken, the imperial city of the Karlsruhe Empire.
A total of sixteen people came from the elves' side, both men and women. There is no doubt about their appearance. The beauty of elves is innate, and only one of them can grow crookedly. Their strength cannot be underestimated. As long as they have suitable weapons and equipment.
, this squad of sixteen people will have no problem defeating the human brigade of thousands of people.
But of course they cannot come fully armed as envoys. Including Lin and William, everyone wears a suit and a tie; the women wear hip-covering narrow skirts and black stockings. The men wear leather shoes.
, women wear high heels that are no different from walking on stilts.
Not surprisingly, these suits are all products of the World Tree brand, and have properties equivalent to those of the elf holy robes. Compared with the phrase "a suit is a necessary armor for a gentleman", in the Western world back home, it only expresses its
The connotation is different. The suit of the World Tree Card can really be used as armor, which cannot be cut by ordinary swords!
Of course, stockings are not nylon products, and someone does not have the technology tree of the petrochemical industry. For automobile-related oil refining, it only extracts gasoline and asphalt, the most basic products.
The stockings on the legs of the female elves are spider-shaped monster fabrics controlled by the boss of World Tree. The reason why there are such things is because a time traveler suggested that they need to put some on their bare and slender legs.
Something that unifies the appearance and can also cover up skin imperfections. It cannot be pants, it must be tight-fitting clothing, preferably with some transparency.
Then all the spider-type monsters within the realm of the World Tree were captured and squeezed for silk...
As for weapons, due to the taboo of wood elves not to use sharp-edged weapons, they all have a short wand hidden in their suits. It is also a World Tree card. It is absolutely no problem to use it to cast spells, and it can be used to stab someone! But
It is said to be a good weapon suitable for both melee combat and magic.
Of course, Lin and William are not as particular as the elves. The suit on Lin's body is made of ordinary materials, and William's suit was specially made by Lin on the World Tree, in order to eliminate the defects of the flash technique. Their own magic silk
There are not enough points, and there is really no way to spare the time to help William make a set of clothes.
As for weapons, some people don’t even bother to bring a wand with them when they go out now. Anyway, there are Haggiri clan who are always available when called upon, and there are various tricks to choose from, so it’s not a hassle.
And William has never thought about getting a new weapon since his side sword was cut off by Haggiri Insado during the sparring with Azad. Anyway, as a sword master, he has touched someone to some extent.
I thought it was a realm that could only appear in martial arts, where flying flowers and picking leaves could hurt people. So it didn't matter whether the sword was a sword or not.
Just such a group of strangely dressed people, including two humans and sixteen elves, suddenly appeared on the avenue at the entrance to the imperial city, which of course attracted everyone's attention.
However, the time and place where Lin and others appeared had already been notified to the people in the Karlsruhe Empire, as well as the composition of the members. Therefore, before Lin could see the situation clearly, someone had already come forward to greet them.
The Karlsruhe Empire is located south of the equator in the Lost World, so this season for them is early autumn, and summer is not far away. The group of people who came forward were dressed in extremely exaggerated and cool clothes, decorated with all kinds of strange feathers.
It is completely different from the calm and restrained style of the Gwana Empire.
Of course, there was a leader and a deputy among this group of people. A person who was in the position of a follower and should also be a noble came forward first, greeted and introduced the person in charge beside him, and said: "Your Excellency, the great magician Gablash, I am Knight Ra
Milo. Next to me is the minister responsible for receiving the envoy of the Gold Coin Goddess, Count Efron. I would like to send my greetings to you."
Lin and the rest of the group, with the exception of William, all responded with the etiquette of the goddess's belief. Finally, Lin turned out the back of his right hand. The holy emblem belonging to the Goddess of Gold Coins appeared on the back of Lin's hand like a tattoo, with clear waves rippling.
The holy light proves that the holder of the holy emblem is one of the chosen ones of the goddess.
