Imperial Capital, Shanglin Garden, early morning.
According to the request of Meng Qiya, the muntjac, Lant brought a box of dumplings to the place where the royal family specially raised high-level monsters. Liehuo and Black Rabbit followed them very curiously.
Hearing that Lant came to see Meng Qiya, the high-ranking knights of Shanglin Garden did not say anything and took Lant to a brightly lit castle. In the hall on the first floor, a man and two horses saw a man wearing white clothes. little girl.
The girl's white robe was exactly the same as the one worn by the emperor during the day.
"Haha, these are the dumplings Your Majesty mentioned. They taste so good!" Meng Qiya, who looked like a little girl, picked up the chopsticks skillfully, picked up the dumplings and ate them, not at all like a muntjac.
"Are you a human or an animal?" Lant was a little confused.
"Me?" The little girl smiled brightly, her big eyes rolling non-stop, "Of course it's a Warcraft! But not entirely. I once devoured the remains of a certain elf legend and inherited part of her memory."
"So you are"
"Warcraft! There is no doubt about it!" The humanoid Meng Qiya ate all the dumplings in two or three bites with chopsticks, then transformed back into a deer, "This is my true state, what you just saw is just an illusion. That’s it, when you become a legend, you might be able to transform into various forms.”
"Okay, Your Excellency Meng Qiya, you called me to Shanglinyuan in the imperial capital at this time. What's the matter?"
"Yes! I want to confirm whether your mount can read the scent I left behind!"
"What?" Lant didn't understand.
"So, you left a message on him on purpose!" Liehuo didn't look happy. This was the rare anger she had felt since she reached a high level.
"Yes, I just want to call you over!" Meng Qiya thought for a while, "I don't exactly want to call you, I also want to see if you are smart enough."
"Lant, you know that the empire has a rule that requires all high-end mounts dedicated to the royal family to be taken over by Shanglinyuan, right? Among them, the herbivorous mounts need to learn from me for a period of time."
"So your real purpose is to teach them to read the scent you left behind? To make the mount a communication channel between the lord and His Majesty?"
"Yeah! Almost!" Meng Qiya nodded, "Of course it's more than that. It also prevents them from having too many orc vassals in the empire and teaches them some high-level magic of herbivorous monsters. In short, Shanglinyuan is a high-level magical beast. The school is similar to the magic schools you know, and the teachers are legends from the elves and foxes."
Meng Qiya, the muntjak, tapped the ground three times with his hoof, and an elf knight came out from behind him.
"This is Bolthoros Golden Moon Augustus, a high-level druid and beast tamer. He is a high-ranking member of the youngest generation of His Majesty the God-Emperor's children."
"I have met Lord Lant." Bosolos Jinyue saluted solemnly.
"Although Bosolos is very promising, his bloodline is not very pure within the royal family. Yawenni told me that Agni needs a groom who is worthy of her, so I recommended him."
The little muntjac stood up and touched Liehuo and Black Rabbit with his head: "Since you still want to fight, don't come to Linyuan for the time being. Bosoros will teach you the most common magic patterns here. You can just learn on your own. ”
"Yes, Your Excellency." Black Rabbit agreed to Meng Qiya respectfully, while Liehuo just nodded.
Meng Qiya walked up to Lant again, rubbed Lant in front of the two horses, and said with a smile, "Sir, I heard that there are several high-level monsters under your seat. I hope I can have time to get to know them. .”
When Lant returned to Yeqi City, it was already late at night here. The first thing he did when he arrived at the castle was to ask Lie Huo: "Did that Meng Qiya leave anything on me again?" information?"
"Yes, she said that someone hopes you can provide a loan of 2 million gold coins." Liehuo nodded and replied: "She also said that just leave it to the person who taught you etiquette today."
"Haha, Legend is just talking about money," Lant said with a smile. "It seems that those guys from the Department of Finance want 2 million gold coins for me. They really don't want it for nothing."
…
"Lant, it's all our fault today. We signed an agreement with the people from the Department of Finance without permission, which is why you ran away to the Imperial Capital."
In the Kingdom of God at the station, Wendy and Little Cardinal came to Lant together and apologized to Lant very sincerely.
"Actually, if it had been me at that time, I wouldn't have done better than you," Lant reassured the two ladies. In his hometown, Lant had never had the experience of his girlfriend apologizing. Seeing the seriousness of the two women, Lant said, My heart was filled with joy.
"I asked Hornier and Jenny this afternoon. From legends to knights, there are almost no nobles who can withstand the threats, inducements and calculations of the Treasury Department."
"In the afternoon, Your Excellency Saranier also specifically mentioned that in history, the human empire can have today's territory because the development of the civil service system is far greater than the force of the knights. They succeeded through business alliances, share funds and market manipulation. 'Purchased' a large area of territory, and only countries like the Dragon Kingdom, Kirislav or the Southeast Kingdom that are backed by an independent pantheon can resist the conspiracy of the civil servants."
"Although I say that, we really can't defeat those civil servants," Wendy said with a bitter face and buried her head in Lant's arms. "Otherwise, you will have to handle the negotiations in person in the future."
"Otherwise, please invite Honier..." Little Red Sparrow's voice became lower and lower as she spoke. They specifically did not bring Honier or Jenny with them during today's negotiation, just to prove that they could handle the situation in the territory on their own. All kinds of things, but unexpectedly it turned out that I really couldn't handle them.
However, the reality was exactly the opposite of what they expected. Not only were they tricked by the people from the Department of Finance, but they were also discovered by Honier later and informed Lant in time. This gave Lant enough time to give Lessons from the Treasury.
"I or Hornier will not be better than you." Lant caressed Wendy's back, "If they could really deal with the Finance Department, they would have been married off by the royal family long ago. The royal family would not I would give this talent to anyone.
I wanted Hornier to represent the territory before, not because she could deal with these people, but because I wanted you to be freed from boring entertainment and do things you like more. "
While Lant was having a pleasant conversation with the two of them, Gulea had just been led into the lounge by Lili.
"Lant, I heard that you single-handedly challenged the entire Imperial Finance Department today?" As soon as she saw Lant, the dragon girl asked curiously, "You have to think carefully, they will definitely retaliate against you crazily in the future."
"What? Challenged the entire Department of Finance?" Lant was a little confused.
"Yes, from the ancient empire to the present, no local noble has dared to curse a senior secretary within the Finance Department." The dragon girl's face gradually showed worry, "This afternoon, His Majesty Du Sen and McLaren Your Excellency specifically told me that if the Department of Finance makes things difficult for you, they can first make you the Duke of Ye Qicheng according to your status as a noble of the Dragon Kingdom."
