An invitation from the royal family?! Looking at the envelope in Astaru's hand, Lin Zheng couldn't help but be surprised. Istria was just a small place in the Cangmu Dynasty. After being entrusted to the Changfeng family for hundreds of years,
They have not received any news from the royal family, so that most people in Istria have forgotten that there is such a thing as the Cangmu royal family. Now, why do they suddenly think of such a small place like them? Unexpectedly
And he even sent someone to send an invitation letter?!
As Lin Zheng snapped his fingers, the envelope in Astaru's hand fell into his hands. As Lin Zheng took out the invitation letter from the envelope, both Eve and Dantalin stretched their necks curiously.
The cover of the invitation letter was printed very beautifully, with "To His Excellency the Viscount of Istria" written in black writing. When I opened the invitation letter, I saw that there was only a simple sentence written inside, inviting him, the Viscount of Istria.
Participate in the palace dance held by the Aoki royal family.
After reading the invitation, Lin Zheng frowned. He looked at Astalu at the door and said, "What do the royal family want to do?" Palace dance? Are you kidding me? I don't know how to do this kind of thing every year.
No matter how many times it was held, without any special reason, the royal family would never think of such a little viscount like him.
If it had been before, Astalu might have been vague with Lin Zheng, but after thinking about it before, Astalu had decided not to quarrel with Lin Zheng. Naturally, he couldn't tell the detailed information casually.
So he said to Lin Zheng: "The Cangmu Demon Emperor is already very old!"
"That's it!" Lin Zheng nodded. The ruler of a dynasty is about to come to an end. The forces in the dynasty must go through a round of shuffling. It seems that this dance is no different from the Hongmen Banquet!
After coming back to his senses, Lin Zheng said to Astalu: "Okay, I have received the invitation letter. I will rush over before the dance starts. Thank you for your help!"
"Your Majesty, you're welcome. This is just my duty!" Astalu said humbly, "Then, my mission has been completed, so I'll take my leave!"
"Please take your time, Your Excellency Astalu. Unfortunately, I am quite busy with government affairs here, so I can't go without seeing you off!"
"How dare you trouble Your Majesty!" Astalu said with a smile, "I am waiting for His Majesty's arrival in the imperial capital. Farewell!" After saying that, Astalu's figure disappeared.
When Astaru left, Dantalin breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could finish his breath, Lin Zheng knocked him on the forehead, "You girl!"
"It's the perverted one!" Dantalin said a little aggrievedly.
"That's not what you're talking about!" Lin Zheng said angrily, "What did you just say? What do you mean it's none of my business?!"
"But an idiot!" Dan Lin said uneasily, "That guy seems to be the son of a duke!"
"The Duke is amazing?!" Lin Zheng curled his lips and said, "Our eldest lady will still be the number one master in the Demon God Realm in the future. If he dares to come to our door, we will shoot him to death!"
But Ta Lin was very happy to be coaxed by Lin Zheng, but he still said with a bitter face: "But I'm not a master yet!"
"It doesn't matter, you still have me!" Lin Zheng smiled smugly, hugging him tightly as he spoke, "Don't worry, girl, no one can hurt you, no one can!"
"In other words, the construction of the Mountain and River Formation needs to be accelerated?" Eve said as she picked up Spinak's memorial.
After seeing the terrifying power of the mountain and river formation, Spinak became very enthusiastic about this offensive and defensive formation. In later descriptions of the demon god, Spinak was described as a person who specialized in
The demon god who builds city defenses, and the construction of the mountain and river array is undoubtedly the most important city defense in Istria. This has a huge attraction for Spinak! However, it is necessary to build a mountain and river array to protect the entire Istria.
The array requires too many resources, so in the previous review, Lin Zheng shelved Spinak's memorial. But now that something like this has happened, Eve believes that the mountain and river array must be built.
, can ensure the safety of Istria. After all, as the territory of a viscount, the strength of Istria is too different from that of a duke!
Lin Zheng nodded, "However, there is no need to be in such a hurry, there is still plenty of time!" A guy who can smash his own eggs must have limited strength. Such a guy, even if he is
The Duke's son's status is definitely not that high, and the royal ball is about to be held. At such a sensitive time, no head of the house with any brains will make trouble. Even if he wants to cause trouble for them, he will have to wait until Cangmu
The situation in the dynasty stabilized.
Moreover, Lin Zheng has already revealed to Astalu that he will rush to the ball. If the Duke's family wants revenge, they will first wait in the imperial capital to take action against Lin Zheng. However, there is still more than a year before the ball is held.
As for the time, after all, the territory of the Cangmu royal family is vast, and the more remote lords must be given some time. More than a year is not a long time for the devil, but this time is enough for Lin Zheng
Prepare for everything in Istria.
After Astaru left with the unlucky Duke's son, the cadres had also arrived at the Demon King's City under the summons of Sabas. Regarding the troubles that Istria was about to face, they had to talk to everyone and work together as one.
Completed the task beautifully.
Before Lin Zheng arrived at the political hall, Sabas had already told everyone about the trouble Dantalin had caused. After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but feel dizzy, but no one wanted to blame Dantalin.
It means - that bastard son of the Duke actually wanted to molest Dantalin, which is really outrageous! However, this has caused a lot of trouble for Istria, and I don’t know what His Majesty will do with Dantalin.
Thinking of this, everyone became a little worried, so when Lin Zheng appeared on the throne, everyone knelt down and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, please forgive Dantalin!"
"Everyone, get up, forgive or not, what bad thing has this girl done? If it's the special envoy's business, forget it!" Lin Zheng said angrily,
Everyone looked up, and then their eyes widened, because the person they were asking for help was sitting obediently in Lin Zheng's arms and eating cake. It could be seen from the happy expression on her face that this girl was quite comfortable! This is really...
...Worrying for nothing!
Seeing everyone's dumbfounded expressions, Lin Zheng smiled and said: "Don't worry if you see it. If you dare to act like a gangster in my Demon King's City, damn it, if I had known better, I would have just let Astalu go back alone!"
Lin Zheng was really a little angry when he said that. He was careless. I didn't expect that bastard to dare to molest Danta Lin in the Demon King's City. It's a pity that he let him go!
"Your Majesty! That's enough. If you go back alive, at least you won't anger the other party too much. After all, the other party is a duke. Judging from Istria's current strength, it is difficult to compete with the other party!"
"Gu Xin! You are too cowardly!" Baimen was a little dissatisfied with Gu Xin's caution. "People have bullied us, and we are still in His Majesty's Demon King's City. For us in Istria,
It is a great shame and humiliation, and this matter is not over yet!"
"Okay, that's the end of the argument. Both of you are right, so let's call it a tie! We need to prepare for the future now, we are not here to chat."
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
At this time, Lin Zheng took out the invitation letter from the royal family and said: "The previous special envoy came here just to send this invitation letter to the Cangmu royal family's court ball!"
Everyone was a little confused when they heard that they were sending invitations to a palace ball? Are the Cangmu royal family so bored? Just when everyone was pondering the deep meaning of this ball, Lin Zheng said directly to everyone: "From the deputy of the special envoy
Judging from the information provided, the Demon King of the Cangmu royal family is dying. This dance is not so much a dance as it is a power reshuffling conference. So, what do you think about this?"
After hearing Lin Zheng's explanation, everyone frowned. The change of power in a dynasty is always a severe challenge for the powerful. If there is only one heir to the imperial power, it is easy to say that there is no one to take sides.
The problem is, just follow the footsteps of the new emperor! But the Cangmu Imperial Family is a huge family, and the Demon Emperor still has no designated heir.
For the powerful, it is very important to stand in line. If you win the new emperor, your future will be bright. But if you are unlucky and win the wrong one, you will be in trouble. After the new emperor ascends the throne, he will always give you a
It’s hard to say whether they will be able to retain their position of power when the reckoning is settled. As for the fence-sitters, although they say they don’t offend anyone, in fact they offend everyone, most undeservedly. Istria was at the ball
Where to stand was a very troublesome question for everyone, so much so that after thinking about it for half a minute, no one could give Lin Zheng an answer.
Seeing that everyone was half-paid and couldn't think of a reason, Lin Zheng put away the invitation and said with a smile: "Forget it, we don't know anything about the imperial capital's information. It's useless to speculate here now.
, let’s leave this matter to the imperial capital for further consideration!”
Everyone nodded. It is indeed not a good idea to guess blindly. This is a decision related to the future of Istria and cannot be trivial. Then Guxin said: "When we get to the imperial capital, we need to get what we need as soon as possible.
Intelligence, so those who go to the imperial capital with His Majesty must be well consulted!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Baimeng said: "What are you doing, counselor! Just let it all go!"
Hearing Baimon's words, the veiled Gremory said helplessly: "Baimon, we can't have as many people as we want! The royal family's palace banquet has very strict requirements for the nobles. Your Majesty is in Cang.
The title of the Mu Dynasty is Viscount. According to the rules set by the royal family, a maximum of five people, including His Majesty, can go together. If more than this number, it will be considered disrespectful to the royal family. To put it more seriously, the royal family can go there at any time.
Deprive offenders of their titles!"
The elders of Beimeng felt a little pained when they heard this, "How come there are so many broken rules in this royal family?!" It's better for Istria. His Majesty the Demon King is approachable, so there are so many broken rules that are disgusting.
"Then, Your Majesty, who do you think needs to be brought over?" Sabas asked respectfully.
"Wait a moment for this!" Lin Zheng said, "I will first allocate the work for the next period of time. After whoever is free in the end, we will decide who will go with me!" To be honest, Lin Zheng didn't care about the dance.
Shang Xin, judging from the historical fragments he has learned about, it is not that far away from the era when the demon gods emerged together. This means that the Cangmu Dynasty may not last long. Maybe the big change will come from the dance not long after.
If that is the case, then it becomes even more important to do a good job in the construction of Istria!
"First of all, it's about the construction of the Zhoutian Mountain and River Formation..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Spinak shouted excitedly: "Your Majesty, have you decided to start building the formation? Leave this task to me! I will definitely build the strongest defense system for Istria.
!”
"Is this it?" Lin Zheng looked at Spinak with a wry smile, "There is no problem in leaving it to you. With your personality, you are the best person to host this project!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!!"
"But Spinak, if you want to build a good formation, you must at least have a certain understanding of weapon refining. A large number of magic weapons are needed in the process of building a big formation. You must know the quality of these magic tools.
Just be sure to make sure it's done! So, before I go to the imperial capital, you need to learn some weapon refining methods with me, and you have to be prepared!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Spinak said excitedly, "Your Majesty, don't worry, after I learn the weapon refining methods you taught me, I will refine all the magic weapons myself! This formation is related to Yis
There must be no sloppiness in Terra’s safety!”
"This will exhaust you to death!" Lin Zheng said in a dumbfounded voice.
"With the important task of city defense, no flaws are allowed!" Spinak said very firmly. It seemed that he was really determined to complete the refining of all the magic weapons by himself.
No matter what, this is good. Firstly, it will train Spinak's weapon refining skills. Secondly, it can also make the performance of the formation more perfect. However, if this is done, the construction period will be very long. Although there may not be anyone
It is always better to come and cause trouble during the construction of the formation, but it is always better to be prepared, so Lin Zheng said: "Okay! I will explain to you the key points of the construction of the formation later. In fact, as long as some of the magic weapons are set up,
You can let the formation exert some of its power, and then you can slowly repair the formation, there is no need to rush!"
Spinak is responsible for the construction of the formation, and Naberis needs to be responsible for the cultural education of Istria and opening up the people's wisdom.
Baimon, Eliog, and Lelakin need to be responsible for the integrated training of the army. They are in charge of different arms, and their tasks are quite heavy.
Although Sabas is the general manager of Demon King City, he now also has to shoulder the responsibility of coordinating the financial work of Istria. Baqin hates evil and serves as the supreme judicial officer of Istria, while Butis is responsible for the execution of justice.
presiding judge.
As for Simonli, he is now simply the Minister of Civil Affairs of Istria. He handles all personnel transfers, schedules and recruitments. Among all the people, his task is the most arduous. He alone is responsible for the entire process.
In the construction of the middle and lower management of Istria, considering that his tasks were too heavy, Lin Zheng asked Gusin, Andos, and Gremory to participate in it, so as to share the burden of Simonli.
"But Your Majesty! In this case, who will go to the dance with you?" Sabas said with a frown. Lin Zheng was assigned this task, but everyone was assigned. Will Lin Zheng be left alone by then?
Going to a dance? This is absolutely not possible. You can only bring five people, which is already very few. If you can't even get five people together, it will undermine the majesty of His Majesty the Demon King. Besides, when you get to the imperial capital, His Majesty's subordinates will also
Need some help!
"When attending a dance, you must bring the queen with you!"
Before he finished speaking, Talin shouted: "And me!"
Lin Zheng smiled upon hearing this, "Yes, plus Dantalin!"
Looking at Dantalin, Sabas couldn't help but frown, and took this girl with him... Forget it, although she can't help, this girl is still relatively quiet, at least she won't cause trouble, but "it's still two short
Personally, Your Majesty!"
"Let's do this!" Gu Xin said, "Your Majesty himself is strong, but Her Majesty the Queen's strength is slightly weaker. The Imperial Capital is no better than us in Istria, and we just have a grudge against a ducal family, so we must do a good job
Necessary protection is enough. Therefore, I think it is better for His Majesty to take Andos and Gremory with him. Firstly, as women, they can protect His Highness personally. Secondly, Gremory’s rules for the royal family
She knows more clearly that with her around, His Majesty can integrate into the circle of nobles more easily and master the required information in the shortest possible time!"
"But in this case, the tasks for you and Simonli will be much more arduous!"
"It doesn't matter, Your Majesty!" Simengli grinned, "I have recently selected a few talented subordinates. With their help, it will not be so tiring, let alone Mr. Guxin's help. If we continue
If I can't do this little thing well, then I won't have the shame to see Your Majesty again!"
With such dedicated subordinates, Lin Zheng had to sigh that he was so happy to be the devil king! After sighing, Lin Zheng said: "Then let's do this for now! There is still a lot of time before the dance starts.
, during this period of time, let us all try our best to make Istria more perfect!"
"I will do my best!"
"Well, then, as a reward for everyone's hard work, I have a little gift here, which I will give to you in advance!" After saying that, Lin Zheng smiled mysteriously, making everyone very curious about the little gift given by His Majesty the Demon King.
What could it be? However, no matter what it was, everyone was quite looking forward to the reward given to them by His Majesty the Demon King.
After these days of getting along with each other, Lin Zheng has learned enough about everyone and has absolute trust in them. To him, they are no different from the Overlord brothers, and they are worthy of his efforts, so
