Chapter 175: To save face and suffer the consequences
Mark's eyes have different visions, and the two scenes form almost completely opposite inversions.
In the vision of destiny, Anastasia is just a loli who is about 15 or 16 years old and is about to expire. She pitifully uses the rags on her body to cover up the beauty of her body, and looks like she is in a hurry. Her frightened expression is clear
Saying "Don't come over"!
In the real world, the imperial eldest princess is beautiful and delicate, resembling the most perfect goddess statue carved by a master sculptor. Her long silver-white shawl hair is driven by the overflowing extraordinary power without any wind, and she floats like a fairy.
She was wearing a complicated blue and white palace dress that was very characteristic of Bill's empire. Every flower embroidered on the dress had a faint scent of frost.
She just folded her hands and gently placed them on her lower abdomen, standing there, looking at the guests with a detached and calm gaze, with a toothless smile that was common in royal etiquette training, showing that
Graceful and luxurious temperament.
At this time, the etiquette officer standing beside the eldest princess said in a calm voice that perfectly conformed to the palace etiquette: "Welcome! The hero who saved the port of Austin. This is the eldest princess of the Bill Empire, the saint of the Ice and Snow Goddess.
Her Highness Anastasia Romanova."
The eldest princess opened her voice. It was an ethereal voice that even gave people an inhumane indifference.
"I'm sorry to receive the great hero who saved the people of the Bill Empire in this way. Unfortunately, my control of my power is not very good. However, there will be palace mystics to help me suppress it. Extraordinary people don't have to worry about being harmed."
With an extremely candid opening statement and a scene that shocked the visual nerves, this princess who is also the Snow Saint, with her Sequence 6, approaching Sequence 5 strength, created a very strong start for this meeting.
Mark smiled. If he hadn't had a perspective on fate, he might have been fooled by the princess. Based on this judgment, Mark finally discovered that there was something fishy about Bing Leng in the reception room.
At first glance, this splendid reception room is absolutely beautiful, with a luxury that is almost Baroque style.
But if you look carefully through the ice edges, you can find that a lot of furniture is actually broken and has been repaired more than once. What’s interesting is that the broken parts were repaired not with gold, or even gold plating, but with shiny brass.
.
Normally, this thing cannot be hidden from knowledgeable nobles and big shots. In order to deceive others, the character of the Snow Saint was specially used to create signs of spiritual power overflow, covering up the financial embarrassment.
Speaking of which, it is not normal for the dignified eldest princess of the empire to stay in such a borderland of the empire for no reason.
However, Mark had no intention of exposing her.
In the vision of destiny, behind the eldest princess of the empire, there is a thick black thief of destiny that represents disillusionment, and more than one thread of destiny is dark black. It is a pile of black threads of destiny that are entangled around the princess in a messy manner.
It seems that there is a shocking series of huge pits hidden within Bill's empire!
Mark didn't feel it, he didn't intend to take a trip into this muddy water.
Change the ship and run!
The policy is very simple, see through it but don’t tell it off.
Next to Mark, Knight Commander Hank took half a step forward and introduced loudly: "My Lord is the grandson of the current Cardinal Destiny of the Church of Light and Night, a once-in-a-century genius opera writer, a distinguished guest of the music goddess Muse, Wap
The savior of the province, the order officer of the Kingdom of Boliva, the crusader of the sinful priests, the conqueror of the Knights of the Apocalypse, the ally of the Twin Goddess - His Excellency Mark Destiny!"
"hiss!"
There were no fewer than ten people in the room on the Bill Empire side at this time, and they were all gasping in unison.
In this world, the roll call of etiquette officials, which is to introduce oneself to one's own side, is a very particular ceremony.
Every big shot wants to give themselves a shocking and resounding name.
Don't add names randomly. Once it is found that the name is not worthy of the name, it will not only attract ridicule, but may even cause serious diplomatic problems and even the anger of the gods.
The rules for adding names are usually based on family background first, and then the names are increased one by one from light to heavy.
Originally, the bloodline of Cardinal Guangming was very important. Even if he was not a direct lineage, he was still equal to the count of the empire. It was barely acceptable for the eldest princess to receive him.
The identity of an opera writer inherently has a bonus, and it is an important feature for nobles to distinguish someone from a "barbarian".
The actual results described next are each more terrifying than the last.
Saving a province, suppressing the rebellion of a kingdom, and even massacring the Sin and Apocalypse sect, is this what humans do?
Is it possible that Mark is a liar?
The four horses of the Apocalypse pulling the cart cannot fool anyone.
If someone else did this, wouldn't they be killed by the Knights of the Apocalypse and drag their souls to the bottomless abyss to be tortured?
This scene would make the Emperor's scalp numb with fright, right?
Precisely because of the unequal intelligence, the eldest princess and her staff initially thought that Mark had just picked up a big figure from a large sect of a demon general somewhere, but now it seems that it was too light! Too light!
She should be the one to go to the dock to meet Mark.
In fact, the carriage frightened Anastasia when Mark got off the boat. In order not to lose face to the Empire and the Snow Goddess Cult, she held on. After all, she had not gone to the dock to pick her up, so she ran off at this time. She lost her composure.
, secondly she lost face, and when she turned back she would be attacked by her political opponents.
Not to mention her royal status, the Ice and Snow Goddess Sect has a reputation that rivals that of the entire Orthodox Church for thousands of years. It refuses to obey anyone. This ethos alone forces her to fight to the death.
After Hank's introduction, Mark smiled faintly: "I have met Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess. Let me introduce to Your Highness, this is..."
Anastasia became more and more frightened as she listened.
Because someone and the Wright Empire deliberately obscured the news that Marianne might become an [abnormality], at this moment Marianne is still the noble third princess of the empire.
Then, existences such as Rosalind and Count Fernandez's daughter once again pushed Mark's status to a high point.
The eldest princess still smiled and greeted every noble lady calmly.
"On behalf of the Bill Empire, I thank you for your bravery."
In Destiny Vision, Mark clearly saw that the eldest princess was sitting like a duck, kneeling on the ground, and was so frightened that she burst into tears.
Fortunately, Mark didn't intend to get involved with her.
"We are here purely because we need to renovate my cruise ship at the Chkalov Shipyard to make it more suitable for the ice ocean environment. It may disturb His Highness for two months, but as soon as the remodeling is completed, we will leave immediately."
"Won't you stay a little longer? I and the people here will be happy to warmly entertain the great hero who saved the port of Austin."
"No, I have more important things to do."
"That's really a pity." The eldest princess was polite to Mark for another 10 minutes. Seeing that the conversation was almost finished, she clapped her hands gently and let the waiter receive a pile of thank you gifts: "Bill's empire will never treat heroes badly. These
It’s a small thing, please accept it.”
The first one was a very good-looking cross sword. This sword was probably blessed by the goddess of ice and snow. In terms of grade, it was probably equivalent to Mark's [Night Owl].
The next few trays contained some extraordinary objects of high grade.
In the middle section, there are several fur coats with secret techniques to resist the cold, which look quite warm at first glance.
At the end was a large box carried up by several waiters. Once the lid was opened, it was filled with gold bars of 20 kilograms each.
For a moment, Mark almost thought that he had met a wealthy businessman and that he would kill him unless he killed him. But when his hand touched the cross sword, the eldest princess in the vision of destiny beat her chest; when he turned his attention to those gold bars
, Her Royal Highness the Princess is about to cry again but has no tears.
Mark even foresaw that several threads of fate on the princess' body suddenly turned black.
Originally, the destiny of this unlucky princess was at best 37, but after taking the gold bar, it immediately opened 19.
have to!
I bet this is all the private money of this glamorous princess, it is her lifeblood!
She is the one who wants to save face and suffer the consequences!
Mark almost wanted to laugh like a pig.
In front of everyone, Mark shook his head at the cross sword: "Extraordinary swords with ice and snow attributes are not in my destiny."
He did not walk towards other extraordinary objects, nor did he approach the gold bars. He just walked up to the white fur coat and said with a very interested look: "Helena, Rosalin, you guys, come here."
The two girls passed over obediently and watched happily as Mark picked up the snow-white fur coat, estimated the size, and then put it on them.
"Is it warm?"
"Warm!" the two women said in unison.
Mark smiled and turned his head: "Your Royal Highness, I am not very interested in money in this world. Among the extraordinary things here, I am interested in these fur coats. If you have to express your gratitude to me, this kind of fur coat
Give me a few more pieces. Well, although I have already purchased a batch, my guards and servants also need a batch of warm clothes for mortals produced in the Bill Empire."
This time Anastasia and Natasha were really shocked.
That's right, they had already prepared for the worst, and it was no big deal to be hit hard by Mark. After all, Mark helped her preserve the foundation here.
Even in the eldest princess's fantasy, the worst thing is that on a dark and windy night, Mark approaches step by step, stretches out his claws, and smiles ferociously: "Hey, kittens like you were born to be eaten by me.
!”
When the time comes, will she obey? Or will she refuse to obey? Or will she just scream "meow"?
This is a serious problem.
Unexpectedly, Mark would be so generous and directly gave up collecting the reward, letting go of this opportunity that could bring her situation to the bottom.
She summoned Mark in such a hurry, and she also had the opportunity to avoid her political enemies coming to encourage Mark to ask for a high price, because once Mark opened his mouth, due to the atmosphere of Bill's empire, she would have to knock out her teeth and swallow her blood if he really robbed her and bankrupted her.
The meeting ended in a friendly atmosphere.
Princess Anastasia looked at the retreating figures of Mark and others and was stunned. After a long time, she said quietly: "Natasha, it's not like he noticed my predicament, right?"
"He must have discovered it." The female knight sighed deeply: "Fortunately, he is a true gentleman and the most amazing hero."
