Chapter 300

Before dawn, eboden was shrouded in a diffuse mist until the sea breeze dispersed, and the lonely city hanging on the coast was not revealed before people's eyes.

Different from what the free nobles expected, his majesty Eckhardt's mission did not come with a big bang. It was only informed in advance, and even the imperial Legion responsible for the martial law of the whole city did not make any preparations in advance.

Without the letter and notice sent to the parliament in advance, they did not even know that the carriage of the mission had arrived outside the city, waiting to be greeted.

This excessive "low-key" really made the nobles a little sudden and even at a loss - in order to maintain absolute authority in the vassal and vassal countries, the de saleon royal family never missed any opportunity to show the strength of the Empire. The imperial Legion blocking the whole city and the giant dragon still flying in the sky are the best evidence.

Many aristocrats with a long history of eboden have read that eboden was officially built and became a vassal of the Empire: the flags of three legions and six dragons arrived at the same time!

Their ancestors, one by one, fell on the ground in the roar of the dragons, shivered and kissed the emperor's ring, and vowed to be loyal to the saxophone Empire and the de saleon family forever.

Every time the emperor's mission visited eboden, the solemnity was comparable to that of the Midsummer Festival celebration - generous reward, extravagant pomp, carnival for four consecutive days, and grand ceremony held in the cathedral

The whole process aims at one purpose: let the subjects and nobles of the city never forget their "position". They are the ministers of the Empire and the emperor is their master.

For loyal officials and servants, the Empire will not be stingy to reward them.

For this reason, such an "abnormal" low-key made many eboden's free nobles panic. They worried whether this would be some kind of "omen". They waited nervously in the hall of the free parliament, staring nervously at the door blocked behind by two Legion soldiers

"... in the name of his majesty Eckhardt II, the supreme emperor of the Empire, I extend sincere condolences to you and eboden. It is really regrettable that such a terrible disaster has occurred."

Crow seith, sitting opposite corona, nodded with grief: "I hope this ancient and dynamic city can recover as soon as possible, otherwise it will be a heavy blow to the Empire's trade and wizard class."

The envoy of the Empire had thin cheeks but tall and straight figure. He looked only in his early 40s. His exquisite dark robe was decorated with dark blue silk and satin. On his collar was a cat's eye pure silver pin, and his dark green pupils seemed to be moving as if they could speak.

In the most common terms of the Empire, this is a "pure blood" Saxophone who was born under the prince of Saxony and grew up in the imperial capital Golovin.

"The sincere feelings of you and your majesty have deeply moved the whole eboden - please tell your majesty that eboden will pay a lot of taxes and royal tribute this year."

Corona nodded and answered, "the Gold ship is ready to set off and can go to the capital Golovin with you of the mission; as for the tribute... The ocean fleet is on its way back. Please wait a few days."

"However, I think your majesty specially sent messengers to eboden, not just for these things?"

"I also bring your Majesty's congratulations on becoming the consul of eboden, Lord corona."

The sadness on crow seith's face was fleeting and turned into a spring breeze smile: "Your Majesty has always respected the traditions of each vassal principality. I assure you that the consul elected by the free Parliament can definitely be recognized by the Empire!"

The determined tone and the indisputable sincerity - if we didn't meet for the first time, I'm afraid we would all be regarded as crona's old friends.

If others were not moved by his "sincerity", they could not help guessing whether the messenger had ulterior motives.

But corona was different. The old man just smiled and couldn't even see many changes in his expression: "then I don't know how much we need to pay for the recognition of your majesty?"

"For example... Accept the permanent stationing of an imperial full Legion and bear their military expenses?"

"There is absolutely no such need, not to mention that the imperial Legion has more important missions - when eboden restores order and stability, the Legion will naturally withdraw. You can rest assured."

Crowe ceyce smiled implicitly and put his hands on the table: "of course, we must also face the reality. This turmoil has indeed had a great impact on eboden and changed a lot - for example, making the nine pointed star wizard tower the actual controller of eboden."

"The wizard taben is one of the components of eboden, which is recognized by the free Parliament." the old man calmly retorted: "it is not surprising that a senator wizard becomes a consul."

"Yes, but that's only in theory, but in fact, we all know that you are the first wizard consul since the founding of eboden."

The imperial emissary looked at corona meaningfully: "this is a great achievement. It will certainly shock and inspire the wizard colleges and wandering wizards all over the Empire."

"It will also attract strong opposition from the Holy Cross and all devout believers." corona certainly knows what he wants to say.

"You must know how much pressure your majesty Eckhardt II has borne for eboden." crow seith said calmly: "as the defender of the Holy Cross, your Majesty must respect the opinions of the church and protect the faith of the empire from collapse."

"So what is the cost?"

"This matter can be discussed later. At that time, the Holy Cross Church will send a special envoy to meet you." the imperial envoy waved his hand a little and said that it had nothing to do with him:

"As for this visit, it's just a routine; and according to your Majesty's instructions, at present, eboden is full of waste and is inconvenient to be extravagant. Please don't cause trouble to all adults for some reasons."

"In that case, can you answer a little doubt for my old man, Lord crow seith?"

Corona, who suddenly opened his mouth, sat down the imperial envoy who was supposed to stand up again, smiled and nodded: "of course, what's the problem?"

"We have said a lot about eboden." corona looked up slightly and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him: "why... Didn't even mention the prince?"

Crowe ceyce still smiled, but the smile was getting colder and colder.

"Ah... Does this bother you, Lord corona?"

"Please tell me why." the old man acquiesced.

Without Brandon's assurance and bringing the imperial Legion to eboden, the wizard tower can also seize power from the Bellini family, but it is definitely not as smooth as it is now. At least it will not be easily acquiesced by the Empire and the church.

It was also because a prince joined them that the wizard tower reached a consensus and United, and elected him Lorenz corona as the consul of eboden - otherwise, the city may still be in chaos, let alone restore stability, and even a consul who can be trusted by the majority can not be elected.

There are twelve elders in the wizard tower. There are many supporters behind the Bellini family, plus those neutral free nobles and small businessmen. At that time, there will be a scuffle between several parties.

But now, the empire is desperately trying to get Brandon out of this matter, which is really suspicious and worrying

"The only thing I can tell you is that his Royal Highness has nothing to do with the whole affair. His royal highness and his royal highness have just passed by without any involvement," Brandon Dessalio said.

The imperial envoy's expression was dignified and his words were sincere: "please remember this, and all adults of the free parliament!"

At the same time, in the silver hall where Brandon and fillonet stayed, Loren Turin, who was guarding the door, looked coldly at the "entourage" who came "at the order of Lord crow seith" to explain matters to the two Highnesses, and his left hand had clenched the hilt of the sword around his waist.

"It's really... Long time no see, Lord Loren Turin." the "entourage" in front of him greeted him like an old friend.

"Yes, it's been a long time," murmured the dark haired wizard

"LUT infinit!"
