"Okay, I see you are all tired today." Simining led Link and the others to where they were staying, chatted with them for a few words, and then stood up and prepared to leave: "

I still have some things to do over there, and I have to rush back quickly. My brother is a hard worker, but I can't compare to you!"

"Old Ning, you have a different identity, so don't show it off in front of us." Link and Earl Weir also stood up. They both had a tacit understanding of Simining's familiar appearance.

Di did not reject it, but instead said in a relaxed and casual tone: "If you have something to do, just do it yourself, we just take this opportunity to have a good time!"

Hanunu was stunned and speechless. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that Lord Simining, who was said to be not afraid of many upper-class nobles in the imperial capital, could actually do this.

Chatting like this with these two envoys from afar, if he hadn't been able to confirm that Link and the others had never seen this Lord Simining, Hanunu would have thought that this Lord Royal Guard might be

Understand foreign countries.

"There is nothing interesting to see today." Simining stretched his body and said casually: "Today, His Majesty announced that a great meeting of the country would be held. All nobles with official positions were required to participate, even those who had been granted special permission.

The merchants who sell goods in the higher-level domain have also been dragged in. Now that you are going out, you probably won’t be able to see a single person except for the guards standing guard on the streets."

"Ah, the meeting of the great nation." Link and the others didn't say anything yet, but Hanunu screamed in surprise from the side. His eyes were so wide that they almost bulged out of their sockets. His strong curiosity made him temporarily

He forgot about his fear of Simining and asked: "Since Your Majesty took over the throne, it seems that he has not held several major state meetings. Is there anything going on this time..."

"Hanunu, what are you thinking about?!" Although Simining still had a smile on his face, it seemed that he just laughed and cursed inadvertently, but there was a trace of confusion in his eyes when he turned to Hanunu.

Bing Bing: "Whenever your Majesty likes to convene a major state meeting, it depends on your Majesty's considerations. How can we, the ministers, know what your Majesty is thinking."

"It's just a pain for me, brother." When he turned to face Link and the others, Simining's expression had completely returned to its original kindness, and he said with a smile: "Such a grown-up.

All the children have poured into the imperial city, and the security arrangements alone are enough to break my legs. If I came out to greet my two brothers today, I was just pretending to be sick and asking for leave from our Majesty."

"Old Ning, you are such a good friend." Link and Earl Weir looked at each other and both laughed in agreement, saying, "Thank you! Thank you! I will have a drink with you some other day!"

"

"If Your Majesty knows about this, I can't afford to suffer the consequences." Simining looked like he was aware of his mistake. He made a sneaky gesture to lower his voice, then turned to face Hanunuhu and said with a smile: "

You kid has always had the biggest mouth, be careful not to say all the things you shouldn’t say to me!”

"Yes... of course..." Hanunu had already broken out in cold sweat just now. Now that Simining's gaze swept across her body, she felt weak all over. She couldn't even speak fluently and was just hurriedly speaking.

He nodded: "Don't say... I... won't say, don't say anything!"

"Okay, look at how you look like a bear." Simining burst out laughing and patted Hanunu on the shoulder: "I wonder if you usually play too much with girls, so you just stood there for a while, look at you

That sweaty one!”

Earl Weir frowned slightly when he heard this. Although when the noble youths from the Bavarian Empire gathered together, these beauties and romance were definitely the most talked about topics, but they had never used such vulgar language, especially

In this situation where they were facing foreign envoys, fortunately the little princess and Batu had taken refuge in the inner room early in the morning, otherwise they would have really lost face.

Simining didn't seem to notice at all, waving to Link and the others: "Let's go, my brother will come back to take you out for a walk another day!"

"Old Ning, let's go." Link secretly pulled Weir, followed Simining and smiled: "It's not convenient for us to go out, let Master Hanunu see you off on our behalf!"

On the mainland, when envoys travel between two countries, the place where the envoys live is like an extension of a country's territory, and the envoys here represent the dignity of the entire country. Therefore, according to the etiquette prevailing on the mainland,

Unless someone with a corresponding status from the host country comes to visit, the envoy should not see the guest off in person.

The guards and entourage that Link and the others originally brought from the Bavarian Empire were all dumped in Wisz City when they got rid of Zipa and the others. Now Hanunu, as the receptionist, is suitable for them.

Done this thing.

"Haha, my brother, there is no need to be polite." Although Simining said this, he did not mean to refuse at all. He walked out of the door first, then suddenly turned around as if remembering something, and rushed

Looking at Link, he said: "By the way, Your Majesty probably won't have time to summon the two brothers during the Great Nation Council. The two brothers may have to wait here for a while. When they feel bored, they can go out for a walk.

, you can ask Hanunu as your guide, this guy knows the weird places in the imperial capital better than I do!"

Link and Earl Weir both agreed with smiles. They watched Simining and Hanunu, who was following him a little distraught, disappear from the gate, and then slowly stopped smiling.

"What do you think?!" Earl Weir asked Link with a sullen face.

"How else can we look at it?" Link shrugged his shoulders and sat down: "This Emperor Norton III does not seem to be as idiotic as Lord Perigo said!"

Only the mountain beast would believe that Simining, who could become the captain of the Sakara Empire Guards and become a true confidant of Norton III, would be such a rough and arrogant guy. Even Simining himself would definitely not think that Link and the others

I can accept the image of him as a rough guy without any scheming.

Therefore, in fact, in front of Link and the others today, Simining did not show any intention to hide anything. No matter when he was talking to Link or the others, or when he warned Hanunu, he did not hide his intentions.

There's something in the words.

"Norton III seems to be telling us," Earl Weir frowned and analyzed: "He knows very well what kind of people we are!"

"So" Count Weir looked at Link with a wry smile: "Did Norton III discover our plot?!"

In fact, the way Simining interacted with Link and the others today, whether it was his status as the imperial royal guard captain among the upper-class nobles of the Sakala Empire, or the reception he received today when he came to receive foreign envoys

The status of officials is extremely inappropriate. According to the etiquette prevailing on the mainland, it can be said to be extremely rude. However, Link and the others did feel that this way of greeting was very familiar at a glance, because

Such a playful and carefree look is the way Link, Weir, and the Earth Wolf team interact with each other on a daily basis.

Simining's performance today is undoubtedly a gesture, which is equivalent to telling Link and the others that Emperor Norton III, who lives deep in the imperial city, has his own unique channel for transmitting information, at least he has already

Before Link and the others arrived, they had already found out everything about them.

Although Simining was chatting and laughing along the way, and his tone was extremely polite, Earl Weir actually felt a little sweaty when he thought about it now.

After all, they are now in the imperial capital of the Sakara Empire, where the empire's royal family is the most powerful. If the real Norton III has understood their plot and mobilized manpower to deal with them, then I'm afraid there is really nothing they can do.

to be able to cope with such a situation.

"Probably not", Link shook his head and seemed to say something to himself, then suddenly raised his head, looked at the place arranged as their temporary residence, and answered Earl Weir in a somewhat off-topic manner: "You

Don’t you think this place where we live is quite quiet?!”

Although Link's words were a bit out of context, Count Weir understood it immediately.

From the very beginning today at the gate of the imperial capital, Count Weir felt a little strange.

He is a guy who officially holds the title of imperial envoy. Before leaving the Bavarian Empire, according to the rules, he had specially trained on the knowledge and ethics related to these missions. No matter how you look at it, it is not

It was probably Simining who ran to the city gate to greet them, and it was even more unlikely that he would greet them in this way.

You must know that this time Count Weir is escorting the little princess of the Bavarian Empire to marry with the Sakara Empire. According to the etiquette prevailing on the mainland, the royal family of the Sakara Empire should also have a very grand welcoming ceremony.

, to show the identity of the little princess.

Although there are some secrets between the two empires that they don't want to know, and even the itinerary along the way is mysterious, but Link and the others think that this is just to prevent some people like Pei from coming.

A thoughtful person like Mr. Rigg, who tried to destroy the marriage between the two empires, or to snatch the Eye of the Gods, the number one artifact on the continent, has now arrived at the gate of the imperial capital of the Sakara Empire. It should be said that it is completely gone.

This level of concern, no matter how sneaky it is, is really unjustifiable.

Even after Simining took them into the city, Link and the others didn't meet anyone at all until they came to this temporary residence. In this temporary residence, except for the necessary guards,

, the other servants also stayed away from Link and the others according to the rules. If there was no need to summon them, they would never appear in front of Link and the others. All this confirmed the thoughts of Link and the others.

, that is, Norton III seems to not only want to continue to conceal this marriage between the two empires, but also probably even has a delegation in the name of the Bavarian Empire's envoy to the capital of the Sakara Empire.

I don’t want anyone who is qualified to know about this matter to know about it.

This is indeed a very unreasonable thing, but it does not seem like the reaction after truly knowing Link's plan. How can it be said that what Link and Perrig are seeking now is simply preparing to kill Norton.

When Norton III was overthrown from power, what he did was not too different from a rebellion. If Norton III really knew their thoughts, I'm afraid what he most wanted to do was to directly mobilize the army and kill Link and his group first.

.

After all, the imperial capital of the Sakala Empire was originally the place where the empire's royal family had the greatest power. Norton III had absolute control, and this marriage between the two empires was nothing more than a by-product. Even Lord Perigueux

I have also said that Norton III must have offered a corresponding value to the emperor of the Bavarian Empire. Under such circumstances, even if Norton III left Link and the others behind, the royal family of the Bavarian Empire would probably not be able to do so.

What kind of extreme reaction would there be? What's more, Norton III only needs to deal with Link and Earl Weir, two guys with fighting ability. Even the marriage of the two empires will not be affected.

"And listening to Lao Ning's tone just now, it seems that Emperor Norton III will be busy for a while." Link looked at Weir and said: "In other words, Emperor Norton III may not receive us so soon. Why don't you

Do you think this is weird?!"

Link does not think as much as Count Weir, but compared to Count Weir, he has more confidence in the abilities of the independent space where the elves inhabit the Holy Land, and his understanding of the true power.

It is much deeper. If they, Perigord and Qi Yun had just encountered each other in the valley, it was possible that the spy of Norton III could have spied on them, then at least the elf Suka had opened his eyes.

Everything that happens after the independent space left by the God of Nature is definitely not something that any outsider can spy on.

Even in Link's opinion, the battle between them and Perigord and Qi Yun was unlikely to be discovered by Norton III's spy, even if it was not said that Perigord, this old fox would definitely think more thoughtfully than them.

If you dare to choose to take action in that valley, you will naturally have made all the preparations. Just based on the intensity of the fight between several strong men at that time, I am afraid that only the top-level strong men on the mainland can do it there.

In such a level of battle, one can remain invisible without being noticed. However, the real top-level experts on the continent today all respect their own identity, and it is absolutely impossible for them to do such a thing.

Therefore, although Link also felt that Siminen's performance just now had profound meaning, he never felt that Norton III could possibly detect the real plot between them and Lord Perigord.

What makes him feel strange now is that in his expectation, Norton III would definitely show great enthusiasm for the marriage of the two empires. It is very likely that as soon as they arrive in the imperial capital, they will rush to hold a real wedding as soon as possible.

, after all, this marriage between the two empires is related to the handover of the Eyes of the Gods, and it is also related to whether Norton III can receive the reward of half the life span promised by the two messengers of God as soon as possible. Norton III

He should definitely be impatient. Link even discussed this with Lord Perigo for a long time on how to deal with it, but he didn't expect that after entering the imperial capital, what Norton III showed was

He looked like he was not in a hurry at all.

Link and Earl Weir looked at each other, and both felt that there must be something wrong here that they didn't understand yet.

"This guy," Link shook his head in a depressed tone, "What on earth is he planning?!"

In this temporary residence for Link and others, they were not the only ones who were full of questions, but also Hanunu, who was sending Master Simining away.
