Allen only waited outside the palace door for five minutes before he saw the palace door opening in front of him and the new king Vann Igneel hurriedly walking out from inside.
Fann obviously just got up from the bed. Not only did he not comb his hair, but he also buttoned the wrong clothes.
Seeing the new king's miserable appearance, the soldiers guarding the gate were shocked.
However, what surprised them even more was what Vann Igneel did next——
I saw the new king hurried forward, bowed respectfully in front of the young man in the linen shirt, and said: "My lord messenger, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long."
What? Lord Messenger?
This young man who was dressed simply and didn’t even have an entourage was actually the messenger of the legendary God of Darkness?
How is this possible?
Am I dreaming?
The soldiers guarding the gate all stared wide-eyed, in disbelief at this fact.
After all, in their perception, the messenger is a noble and mysterious figure who needs to be enshrined in the temple for people to worship. How could he appear in front of ordinary people like them in such an ordinary manner?
Seeing Vann Igneel's disheveled appearance, Allen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, said a faint "hmm", and then led Vann directly into the gate of the palace.
There was only a figure floating away, leaving the soldiers on both sides of the gate to discuss it.
…………
After entering the palace, Vann Igneel first asked Allen if he had had breakfast. Seeing that Allen shook his head, he took Allen to his dining room and asked Allen to sit at the main seat while he sat at the table.
The last seat is for company.
Looking at the rich and fragrant breakfast on the table, Allen was very glad to have made the decision to come to the palace for dinner - although the portion and quality of this meal were not as good as the Earl's Mansion in the Kingdom of Braden, it was better than
The inn where he stayed temporarily was much higher.
After breakfast was almost finished, Allen took out a list from his pocket and stuffed it into Vann Igneel's hand.
"If you can, collect all the materials on the list for me," Allen said.
What is written on the list are the materials needed to make the space array back to the Braden Kingdom, including special metals such as mithril and meteorite, as well as some special plants, etc.
If Allen looks for these materials by himself, it may take a lot of time; but as the king of a country, Vann Igneel can make full use of resources across the country, and the efficiency of collecting materials must be much higher.
Van En took the list, read it carefully, and found that most of the materials could be found in the treasury.
There were also some that he didn't recognize, but Allen specifically noted the appearance of those materials. If they were left to his servants, they should be able to collect them quickly.
"Sir, you can rest assured that I will do my best to fulfill your request." Fan En promised, patting his chest.
Allen nodded, satisfied with his reaction.
After a few minutes of silence, Allen stared at Vann across the dining table and asked again:
"What are your plans next?"
Hearing this question, Fan En immediately became nervous.
The scope of this problem is very large, it can refer to how to govern the country, or how to spread the belief of the Dark Temple.
Fan En knew that the messenger wanted to test himself again.
If you do not answer this question well, it is likely to affect the envoy's evaluation of yourself and the degree of trust you can gain in the future.
Vann knew very well that once the Messenger was dissatisfied with him, he could completely replace the Greyhawk Kingdom with another king just like he deposed Mayfield I.
So, Fan En thought carefully for three minutes, cleared his thoughts, and then started to answer the question.
He analyzed the internal situation of the Greyhawk Kingdom from the perspectives of politics, economy, religious beliefs, etc., and did not forget to add a few words "praise the God of Darkness" and "praise the Lord Messenger"; after that, in addition to
In addition to basic points such as "tax reduction and exemption", "expanding production", and "reforming internal affairs", it also emphasized the need to spread faith to other countries as much as possible and add more believers to the great God of Darkness.
If I were to evaluate Van En's answer in one sentence, it would be "a strong desire to survive."
While answering questions, Van En also observed the changes in the expression on Allen's face from time to time, for fear that he might say the wrong thing and make the messenger angry.
Seeing Fan's appearance, Allen couldn't help but think of himself reporting work in front of the leader in his previous life.
Allen kept listening to Fann's answer expressionlessly. It wasn't until Fann finished speaking that a faint smile appeared on his face and he nodded gently.
Fan En finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the messenger was satisfied with his answer.
But Allen then added: "Fan, actually I think your ambition can be a little bigger."
"Ambition?" Van En was puzzled.
"Sometimes, I always feel that it would be better if you and Mayfield reconciled a little bit," Allen joked. "Mayfield is ambitious and tough, but sometimes he goes too extreme; in contrast,
, you should be more moderate and easy-going, but when you should be tough, you will be a little indecisive."
"Please give me some advice, Lord Messenger." Vann Igneel stood up from his seat and said.
"Propagating faith for our lord is the responsibility that every believer should bear," Allen said. "What my lord wants is not just the Kingdom of Greyhawk, but the entire plane of Pain filled with dark temples."
altar."
"so--"
"——So, if you can promote your faith in a peaceful way, that is the best; if not, then you might as well turn the entire plane of Pain into the territory of the Kingdom of Greyhawk."
Allen spoke in a calm tone, as if this was just a trivial matter.
But after hearing his words, Fan En opened his eyes wide in surprise.
If the person speaking was not Allen, then Vann would definitely think that the other person was daydreaming.
Although the Kingdom of Greyhawk is one of the top powers in the plane of Payne, it is still impossible to unify the entire plane.
However, because these words were spoken by Lord Messenger, Fan En did not feel that he was talking big words, but had great confidence in Lord Messenger.
"You are from the Dark Temple. You must have confidence in yourself," Allen then said to Vann. "If there is any trouble that cannot be solved, you can use the black scepter to contact me."
After hearing this, Fann immediately stopped panicking.
A king with the support of a messenger is different.
