Chapter 439
At dawn, the sky palace.
The black hair wizard with his eyes closed sits on a cold stone chair. The left and right sides are fully armed Imperial Family guards equipped with tower shields and long halberd, staring at his every move. The meaning of any words.
This state has been maintained for nearly four hours...almost since they haven't moved since they searched.
There are many things. Of course, His Majesty the Supreme Emperor who neglect sleep and forget about food will not waste his precious sleep time just because he meets a little "wizard consultant".
So the exact time of the meeting is before the imperial cabinet’s court meeting... But according to the laws of the Sackland Empire, all courtiers who accept the meeting must enter the palace half a day in advance...
Therefore , Loren must sit here from midnight and wait until His Majesty the Supreme Emperor allows him to see him.
You must be prepared.
While closing his eyes to rest his mind, Loren adjusted his state as soon as possible, thinking about the way he should face the Supreme Emperor of the Sackland Empire...and the royal princes and nobles of the entire imperial cabinet.
Although Brandon said that he has won the agreement, the audience is just a formal cutscene, but...to all expectations, beyond the probability of the plan, Loren abhors it.
The most perfect ideal model should be that all "surprises" can be notified three days in advance, and all accidents have a complete preparation plan.
No one is a god, no one can foresee the future...but we can pull the cocoon and use what we can see in front of us to infer what we haven't seen yet.
An Imperial Family guard walked in front of him, and the black hair wizard who readily understood him got up; under the leadership of the opponent, he was "escorted" by two other guards behind him, and walked forward step by step.
Passing through countless porches, palaces, steps... At the end of a promenade, Loren and the guards behind him stopped in front of a gate. The black facade was carved with three giant dragons. The lifted iron crown.
This is the power center of the Sackland Empire. The core of the core determines the imperial decree, Legion dispatch, tax collection, title appointment... everything, all rights... small rooms.
The Imperial Cabinet.
The two guards behind him stepped forward and opened the door; the black hair wizard with his hands on his back adjusted his breathing, and began to recall Brandon’s description of the Imperial Cabinet before coming. :
"... nominally for the two purposes of efficiency and concentration of responsibility, my father's cabinet may be the smallest among the emperors of the past, and it is almost streamlined to the point where it can't be more streamlined; but in fact... Just for the exclusive authority..."
"...So you can also imagine that anyone who is qualified to enter my father's cabinet is the one with outstanding ability and must be allowed to enter..."
"...or, the one that had to be let in..."
Step into the room, the door suddenly closed behind the black hair wizard; The long table with the red carpet is facing the door, right in the middle of the room.
On both sides of the long table, there are six armchairs of different shapes, and six people with completely different dresses are sitting. A pair of eyes with different emotions cast their eyes into the room. The black hair wizard.
"This is the...sorcerer wizard who is called the'genius' by the Corona Master and has also done a good job in the fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain, Lord Loren Torino, right?"
The first person who spoke was an elderly man wearing a purple wizard robe sitting at the end of the long table, with a very kind smile on his pale face, and even took the initiative to stand up to the black hair wizard nodded.
Loren, who lifts the head, hurriedly paid tribute to each other, and there was a little more respect in his words: "Albert Master, you are really overpraised, you really can't deserve such a compliment!"
"...Albert Tarot, advisor of the imperial wizard, honorary dean of the Imperial Family wizard Academy, one of the veterans of the wizard tower, proficient in the three disciplines of prophecy, astrology, and mysterious, and is also the only one It is possible that someone who has a good opinion of you will speak for you without even having to please him..."
"...Of course, this Master is also famous for being soft, and he has a very good Temper, always ignored by people; so although he will be on your side, don’t expect any help..."
The two relatively smiling tone barely fell, right there Before Albird sat down, another extremely heavy voice came.
"Thousands of believers who dedicated themselves to the Holy Cross in World of Ice and Snow are guarding the Fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain!"
Another middle age person with a beard at the corner of his mouth; a coldly snorted glance at the imperial wizard advisor, but Albert still kept smiling as if he hadn’t seen it, and made him coldly snorted look at Loren :
"I ask you, wizard! What are you doing when those believers who fight for their faith are fighting with monsters?!"
Fist behind your back Clenching tightly, the black hair wizard still has a smile on his face.
"...Holy Cross Church Chief Trial Magistrate, Terras Lufu; Full-time responsible for the judgment of cases involving religious affairs and the transfer of the Church Knights. Innocent Archbishop is a non-secular person Saint, so the one who really holds the real power in the church is..."
"...In addition, this Lord Terras is actually a good person, but he is more reluctant; Be careful not to confront him head-on. If you are accused, just follow his words..."
Under the other person’s eyes, Loren slightly nodded: "I'm doing what I can do... After His Highness Brandon went northward, he first went to the Blood Skeleton Valley to investigate, and then went to the northern glacier Snow Mountain to look for the movements of the monsters. He once fought side by side with several church Knights."
" That World of Ice and Snow’s deserted glacial wasteland, I and the other two companions who were walking with me, without any reinforcements and supplies, went deep into the Great Snow Mountain... The glacier collapsed and the road was blocked by heavy snow. Thousands of monsters were chased and killed, and they were almost unpredictable in the midst of hunger and cold..."
"But...as you said, the soldiers who really guarded the fortress of Duanjieshan were those who did not consider sacrifice and bloodshed. We, not the next person’s merit."
After saying that, Loren bowed deeply to the other party. Coldly snorted’s Church Trial Magistrate turned his face to the side, apparently responding to Loren’s ingenious answer. I don't have a cold.
Settling the two, Loren turned his gaze to the other four behind him who had never spoken, but silently watched his cabinet ministers, his eyes narrowed:
The old man sitting in the Church Trial Magistrate looked on to himself coldly;
"...The Queen of the Exchequer, Siscott Charn, is the kind of guy who had to let him into the cabinet..."
"...The history of the Charn family can be traced back to the Kingdom of Ancient Sackland, and Siscott's great grandfather is the most powerful one among the "conservative nobles" of Imperial Capital. It is very difficult to remember... A few years ago, he also initiated a motion to return Imperial Capital to East Sacrament. Although it failed in the end, it was also huge..."
The middle-aged man in the upper right hand of the Albert Master, His eyes are sharp as sharp;
"...Prince Justice Victor Hughes, the'newcomer' promoted by father, is almost fifty years old; although he is easily guided by emotions when making judgments, he is A rare and impartial judge; the most important point is that this guy is a civilian, and he was used by the father to deal with the conservative aristocrats..."
A man in armor and a beard, anxious Banged on the arm of the chair without even looking at him;
"...The former Secretary of State Severin Desalion, a side branch of our family; and Ens, the deputy commander of the fortress of Duranjieshan. Like Te De Resis, he was promoted by father back then; he is capable and loyal, the last thing you need to count on is him, because he will say whatever father says..."
" I once heard of a very interesting "anecdote" from Lothair, about the heir of Lothair duchy, Ruben Fried Count."
Loren's smile, Loren secretly clenched a fist, looked towards the one who opened his mouth... wrinkled, hair grey-white but very energetic, dark green pupils are as clear as water.
"... Metternich Leopold, former Minister of the Seal, the most trusted and powerful one among the fathers in the cabinet, has the privileges of regent and dictatorship in general affairs, and you must One that must be dealt with carefully..."
"In two to three months, this young count recovered the land and real power of Deep Forest Castle with the help of a noble rebellion, and even had a relationship with the ancient wood forest The elves have reached an alliance; it’s said that...this is the result of a wizard consultant’s planning and running, is it like this?"
Meternity Leopold’s voice is very soft, but it’s just in his voice. The moment it fell, the eyes of the five people gathered on Loren's body at the same time.
It's on the verge!
