During the break during the banquet, Lin was not able to speak to Her Majesty the Empress. Because of their low status in the past few days, the nobles who had not been able to speak to the envoys of the Goddess of Gold Coins all gathered together on this last day.
A certain magician and elves were completely surrounded.
This is not to mention those who want to drag people into empty rooms or dark places. And it is not just a certain goddess elect who receives this treatment, other elves, both men and women, are equally 'popular'.
What’s even more surprising is that there are men and women who want to try their skills with the elves, and the targets are both men and women. Speaking of which, not all of these people do this kind of thing to win over the elves, and many of them do it.
I have never played elves before, so I wanted to try something new.
A certain magician rejected it, and the elves were even less likely to accept it. The elves' view of love is more pure, and there is not so much fun or exchange of interests in it. Moreover, in the wood elf tribe, whether they can be together or have children, there are many things behind their backs.
With the World Tree controlling it, the elves cannot do whatever they want. Although the wishes of the elves themselves are still the main thing, not all elves can do as they wish.
It’s time for a group dance again. Even if someone is dealing with the group of nobles, no matter how exhausted he is, he still has to dance at this time. After all, from a certain point of view, he, the chosen goddess, is the guest of honor at the banquet. And he wants to dance with the nobles.
When dealing with people, sometimes it's better to just do as the Romans do. Although you can get things done just by doing it, there is still a difference between doing it well and doing it poorly.
But it was different from Lin's imagination. She originally thought that the person dancing with her would be the round-faced one from before. Unexpectedly, what came back this time was another beauty with a different style.
The person in front of me has a very special long straight sky blue hair, turquoise blue eyes, and the ears do not look like ordinary people. The two round bead earrings are gems that have never been seen before, like sea water, that
The blue color flows inside the beads.
The dress is an extremely rare emerald green and pink belt, with a large bow on the back. It has a square collar, white lace around the neck, long white gloves reaching to the arms, and a pair of bright red dance shoes on her feet.
What is particularly eye-catching is the height of the beauty in front of him. Lin's height is considered above average in Midi, but when he stands straight and looks straight, he only reaches the chin of the beauty in front of him, which is half a head short of her.
With all these characteristics, Lin believed that the person in front of him was not a pure human. Whether it was another rare species of Homo sapiens or a hybrid species, he couldn't tell.
When such a beautiful woman held out her slender arms covered with white gloves and asked someone to dance, Lin couldn't help but push the person out. However, under her leadership, even the standard court dance was uncomfortable.
Same feeling.
The beauty in front of her is like a fairy dancing in the flowers, being held up by the wind and set off by the flowers. Everyone's eyes are easily attracted by such a graceful beauty, and they even talk about the man dancing with her.
But as an empress with imperial power, the venue is not always so smooth. Under the roll call of the etiquette officer at the door, the belated Prince Behar led his troops into the green hall. The music stopped for a while.
, all the nobles looked at the short figure who was only twelve years old, leading two "big dogs" with iron chains.
These two 'dogs' are actually people, but they walk on all fours. The muscles of their bodies are clearly displayed, and they only wear leather pants and belts on key parts. The entire face is covered by a leather mask.
, only revealing a mouth full of fangs. The collar on the neck has a circle of spikes, and is stained with some old blood that has not been cleaned up. It looks irrational, only animalistic.
Both 'dogs' are so ferocious, it is not difficult to imagine the character of their owners. As the most powerful contender for the throne, Prince Behar has a different demeanor from ordinary nobles. Even though he is not old, he has a high status as a human being.
A person's pride is just written on his face, and of course others can clearly feel it.
In addition to leading two 'dogs', Prince Behar was followed by six heavily armored men like iron towers. He held a steel sword like a door panel in his hand without a scabbard. Every time he stopped, he would punch the tip of the sword on the ground.
, stood silently.
The palace should not be allowed to bring weapons. When encountering this powerful prince, the guards guarding the main entrance of the palace did not even bother to collect weapons or stop people. Because most of their troops gathered at the entrance, with Prince Behar.
The two squadrons brought faced each other.
The physiques of each of the soldiers in those two squadrons were almost the same as those of the six who came after them. Two squadrons were even equipped with ship-cutting knives. They did not block these people and let them all in. That was the real big problem.
.
The reason why six people can enter is because there is a rule for royal heirs to have attendants. For others, these six people should be stewards and maids. For Prince Behar, all the stewards and maids of his family are in full service.
Armed, who can reason?
As soon as such a person entered the scene, all the nobles took the initiative to make way, not daring to block the prince's way. Because those two 'dogs' really dared to bite. Sometimes they would not bite, but would tear several nobles to pieces.
That small body is really not a problem. And this is not something that has never happened before. The sufferer has nowhere to cry and can only grit his teeth and swallow it.
Such a domineering prince walked up to the envoy of the Gold Coin Goddess who also retreated to the side.
In line with the basic idea of following the crowd and not standing out, Lin Ke didn't think of blocking this person's path stupidly and avoided it early. The elves also followed a certain magician. After all, if they were bitten by a loose dog,
So, should I bite him back or something, why not hide far away. But they still come to me, is this going to...?
Although the boy, who was in his early teens and barely taller than his waist, had eyes on the top of his head and tried to use his nostrils to see people, the height difference made the boy's behavior look very ridiculous. Lin followed the rules and saluted.
He said: "Your Highness."
[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books is Yeguo Reading, www. Install the latest version. 】
Although this little kid's official title is just a duke, he has the status of a prince. Normally, he is still called His Royal Highness. The dukedom is his extra daily income in addition to the royal salary.
Now, His Highness looked at the group of people in strange clothes in front of him - the bank uniforms and suits were still a weird type of clothing in the eyes of others - and said with an unhappy face: "Fool, since you know my identity, why?
Why don't you kneel down to say hello? Don't you think your head is raised too high?"
The cold words sounded extra loud in the green hall where the music had been interrupted, and shocked the whole audience. As soon as he finished speaking, the nobles in the hall knelt down and cheered.
Of course, the kind of kneeling that is lost is not the kind of kneeling, it is just half-kneeling and lowering the head. Even so, Lin and the other elves still stood upright.
This is not because some magicians and elves are not afraid of power. But when the divine power deals with secular power, the status level of the divine envoys, that is, people above the priests, is the same as that of any nobles.
After all, priests, bishops, and popes are all qualified to replace their masters and walk in the world. If these people who can represent the gods casually bow their heads to a nobleman, wouldn't that mean that the gods have bowed their heads to this nobleman!
At this time, this nobleman had better make sure that his life is strong enough, his skin is thick enough, and he can withstand thunder and cracklings from the sky. The saying "there is a god three feet above your head" is not a joke in Lost Land.
And a divine envoy who casually bows to secular power will not be pleased with him. Losing the favor of the gods is the second most important thing. It is normal to be punished for such an offensive act. Even if his own divine power is ignited like this, he will lose his life.
Sure, it's not impossible.
Even if they are secular emperors and kings, it does not mean that they are qualified to sit on an equal footing with the gods and let the envoys of the gods kneel down to worship. But in order to show respect, the envoys of the gods are allowed to give a half salute. Maybe they bow their heads, maybe they are
Bowed, but did not kneel.
However, these gifts are only used on the emperor or king himself. No matter how noble their status is, other people are treated as equals. Therefore, Prince Behar's request is contrary to common sense and is an unreasonable offense.
Lin couldn't get angry with a child. No matter how high the other person's status was, he was still a child. But if he didn't get angry, it didn't mean he had to suffer. He now represented the face of the gold coin goddess.
Although I have always wanted to relieve myself of the burden, and it was best not to be asked to do anything by anyone, I did not want to use this method of offending my boss to escape. If I failed to do this, not only would I not be able to escape, but I would also provoke the Goddess of Gold Coin to pursue her for thousands of miles.
Killing is not impossible. Anyone who can become a god is more or less a paranoid. It's a matter of face, so how can it be possible if they are to be generous?
So someone pretended to be neither humble nor arrogant, but in fact he was fighting with a child and said: "Your Highness, even if I kneel down and lower my head, I can still see your forehead. So I think this kind of meaningless thing can be saved. You
Tell me."
This was an insinuation of the opponent's short stature. As expected, Prince Behar exploded when he heard this! He became furious, pointed at the person in front of him and shouted: "You don't know where you come from, what nonsense are you talking about? Arrest him."
!Catch him, I’m going to kill him!”
Just calling back, the six sword-wielding guards behind the prince did not move. They just vaguely surrounded the prince. Because the guards who directly belong to the empress, many people guarding other parts of the palace have been mobilized.
These knights, who are also fully armed, are all staring at the six people behind Prince Behar. If anyone does something inappropriate, the prince will not be hurt at all, they will be beheaded on the spot! This matter is not the first time either.
Once.
In addition, there was also a grand duke who also leaned down and persuaded the prince in his ear. This man was the prince's main supporter and had a good way of handling the child.
And when he saw many people belonging to the empress's guards crowded into the green hall, no matter how angry Prince Behar was, he still understood the seriousness of the relationship. So he restrained himself a little and stared at someone fiercely. Gritting his teeth, he could only let go.
Then, he stared at the elves again.
There is a wood elf tribe nearby the Karlsruhe Empire. It is not within the country's borders, but it is also in the mountains, so the people of the empire are no strangers to elves. However, not long ago, all the manpower sent by the wood elves outside was reduced. Therefore,
The elves walking outside became a bit strange, and Prince Behar saw them for the first time.
