Downton nodded. Compared to these cunning old politicians, he was still too young and would fall into a trap if he was not careful.
"you are too polite!"
Although it was just a simple conversation, Downton's appearance and conversation made the diplomat very fond of him. It is not difficult to understand that Princess Sissi fell in love with him.
"This is a rising star!"
The diplomat has seen many so-called genius young people, but there are only a handful of them who can compete with Downton. "He should be a genius of Woodford's level!"
Dupont, the unlucky guy who was killed by Downton, the diplomats have already excluded him.
"Get ready, the parliament will start the day after tomorrow!"
After leaving some information behind, the diplomat said goodbye and left.
Downton stood by the window, looking at the busy street, and fell into deep thought. Before him, diplomats from Saint Laurent and envoys from the Guise family appeared. The latter naturally wanted to close relations and form alliances, and wanted to act as
Trading partners, sharing a share of the foreign trade of the hilly natives and the Sunset Prairie. As for the former, he said nothing, more like observing him.
"Who is it?"
Downton couldn't think of anything to do with Saint Laurent. He only knew Twilight. Although she didn't say it, she was indeed a citizen of the Twilight Empire.
It's rare to have some quiet time these days, but Downton didn't go out for fun, but kept meditating. He thought that no one would come to trouble him until the parliament was held, but he didn't expect that just at noon, someone knocked on the door.
"Where's Downton? Let him come out!"
The person who came had a beard and was menacing. Next to him stood a tall and thin man who was equally unruly. Behind them was a group of guards with high morale.
"Is the master's name something you can call at will?"
Jackson rushed out immediately, took out his crossbow, and was ready to shoot at any time.
"Drankfurt really doesn't have any talents. Even the ghouls can come out and scream, the Templars. Purify it!" Beard snapped his fingers, and a knight in white armor immediately walked out from behind, with his sword drawn as a blade.
The light shot toward Jackson.
Jackson is too lazy, but in the last battle with Downton, he killed many high-level demons. After eating those brains and part of the heart, it also reached the peak of Judgment's strength. Although it is still rubbish, it will not be easily killed by other fish.
Jackson nimbly dodged and pulled the trigger.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
Repeating crossbow bursts.
The Templar opened the shield, but the next moment, his expression changed drastically, because the crossbow bolt exploded after hitting the shield.
"Demon-breaking Explosive Arrow?"
The Templar tried to defend himself, but it was already too late. The crossbow arrow shattered the shield, penetrated the armor, and was nailed to his body.
Puff puff!
The knight sprayed blood and fell to the ground.
"Now it's your turn!"
Jackson aimed the crossbow at Beard. His expression suddenly changed.
"I am the special envoy of Samosai, do you dare to kill me?"
The bearded man roared.
"Ah? It turns out it's you. Hey, our master even killed your prince and still needs a special envoy?" Jackson was disdainful and was about to teach him a lesson when Downton came out.
"Downton, is this how you discipline your subordinates?"
The tall and thin man asked.
"Where did the cats and dogs come from?"
Downton frowned.
The doors in the hotel were opened, and the envoys from various countries who lived here came out and looked at the conflict with interest.
"Are you looking for death and want to fight with our Satsuma Sai?"
The beard was roaring, and his face was red with anger.
"And us Gwent!"
A tall and thin person added.
"Huh? Aren't we going to use weapons soon? Are you here to ask me to kill Ji Qi?"
Downton's indifferent question sent the whole audience into an uproar. No one expected that he would not leave any face to the other party.
The bearded man and the lanky man looked at each other, a little dumbfounded. They actually didn't want to come, but the news that the prince was crippled spread. They had been ridiculed and looked down upon in the past few days. If they didn't make some show, they would be
Thinking that they are weak can be bullied and they will lose their international status.
They had a good idea. They came to Downton to make a righteous cry and then left. Anyway, they would not suffer any losses. However, they did not expect that the other party was so unscrupulous and was simply a fool.
Duel? The two envoys never thought about it. After all, the one facing them was the Scepter Order, the inheritor of Barbarian King Tower South.
"Why aren't you talking?" Downton snorted coldly, "You came to the door, wouldn't you just use the pestle as a stake?"
"Sacrifice the flag? Then kill him!"
The tall and lanky man was sure that Downton was bluffing.
Downton raised his finger and shook it, and Jackson immediately pointed the crossbow at him.
call out!
The crossbow arrow was fired.
"Help!"
The tall and thin man could no longer remain calm and shouted, but fortunately the guard behind him stepped forward in time and blocked the arrow.
Plop!
The tall and thin man who was almost killed was so frightened that his legs trembled, but he couldn't hold on and fell to the ground, his pants getting wet.
"Malepa, we've actually run out!"
Jackson cursed, threw away the empty quiver, loaded a new one, then cocked the crossbow and aimed it at the tall and thin man.
"We are special envoys from the two countries, here to attend the Northern Parliament. If you kill us, Saint Jutland will definitely not let you go!"
The tall and thin man couldn't hold back and roared.
The onlookers all burst into laughter. Even though the tall and thin man was full of anger, the subtext still relied on the prestige of Saint Jutland. It was simply embarrassing to do this.
"I'll give you one last chance, get out or die!"
Downton couldn't be bothered to argue with this trash.
Jackson raised his crossbow in a demonstrative manner. In fact, this guy was very cunning. Even if the guard hadn't blocked the arrow just now, it would have only grazed the skinny man's scalp. Killing the messenger was a big deal after all.
However, he still managed to frighten these two people. He had no choice but to make Downton's previous lawless performance so eye-catching.
"Just wait, our army will definitely crush Delankfurt!"
The two envoys left in despair. Not only did they not regain their face, but they lost it and became the laughing stock of the whole city.
At this point, Downton's reputation has reached a higher level, and everyone in the royal capital knows about this young man.
"As expected of the successor of the Barbarian King, he is extremely barbaric and vulgar!"
"Aboriginal Duke? Who named him this? It's so appropriate. That guy is just a country bumpkin and has no aristocratic temperament at all!"
"It's a shame to let this guy enter the upper class!"
The nobles were either jealous and hostile to Downton, or looked on indifferently, but the common people had no interest in him, but had a good impression of him because of his grassroots rise. Then the night before the parliament was held, there was a new one
The news spread.
"What? That "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" was written by Downton? Is there any mistake? Isn't he a commoner who dropped out of school? Does he still have this kind of literary quality?"
"You must have found someone to write it for you!"
"But people from the Toffee Opera Company said that this is definitely a work by Downton, and that several operas that will be performed in the future are all written by Downton."
There is no reason why ordinary people should not discuss it, because in recent days, the Toffee Opera Company has become popular along with Downton.
She first met Downton in the Royal Capital of Frankfurt. Because she took care of Elaine, Madeleine got several classic scripts from Downton. After the changes, the effect was very good, and she gradually stood out from the third-rate opera troupe.
This time when she came to Xueman, Madeleine made a detailed plan and went all out. On the first day, she found the owner of the largest opera house in the royal capital and spent an astronomical amount of money to hire it.
This is called the Royal Opera House of Holy Light for half a month.
Usually the people who come here to watch the opera are nobles. A ticket costs hundreds of gold coins, which is enough for a commoner to earn half a year's salary. So even locals have never come in.
Madeleine took advantage of their curiosity and offered free tickets, thus attracting a large number of spectators.
While satisfying his curiosity, this commoner discovered that the play was really awesome. The leading actor was actually an ugly undead abomination. This was simply a subversive approach, because throughout the history of opera development, no one has ever done this before.
Pass.
Classic plays, no matter when they are played, are full of rendering power. Notre Dame de Paris has undoubtedly earned enough tears from the audience, and the reputation of the Toffee Opera Company has begun to resound throughout the royal capital.
After seeing Downton become the talk of the town and its popularity soaring, Madeleine immediately decided to promote his title as screenwriter.
An indigenous duke is actually a talented screenwriter? Can you think of it?
Anyway, the tickets were free, so more people poured into the opera house, wanting to see if what the indigenous duke wrote was as rubbish as shit. But after reading it, they were conquered by the opera.
The owner of the opera house would regret it to death. If he wanted to share the ticket price, how much money would he make? But at first he thought Madeleine was just a rich second generation who threw money. After all, he had never heard of the name Toffee.
The boss offered to charge for admission, but Madeleine drove her dog away.
"This leader doesn't want money, just fame!"
The dream she has been waiting for for many years is about to come true. Madeleine is already red-eyed. Anyone who dares to stop her will be killed!
During Madeleine's crazy encore, the reputations of Downton and the Toffee Opera Company began to complement each other and soar like a rocket!
There were too many people attending the parliament, so the king decided to hold the meeting at the Toledo Cathedral. Early in the morning, people living on this street saw groups of luxurious carriages approaching, which they could not usually see.
Big names all appeared one by one, which was an eye-opener for them.
As the envoys advanced, they each had their own guard of honor. They were all carefully selected soldiers. They were tall and powerful, with polished armor, and they looked very majestic.
National flags fluttered in the wind, and even a third-rate country did not lose much momentum at this moment.
"Look, that's the native Duke!"
"Which one?"
"The one who rides that kind of hellish nightmare horse with four hooves stepping on fire!"
"I, Di Polo, am so young!"
The onlookers were mentally prepared when they saw Downton walking by, but they were still shocked when they saw him so young! (To be continued...)
