MTL - Magic Tower Starry Sky-Chapter 1424 unexpected invitation

The beautiful time in the Emerald Palace could continue indefinitely, but the gift someone brought back from Long Island kept the Empress busy for a while.

Alegria and its forces have been rejuvenated, but they are quite dazzling in the eyes of the nobles. It was the magician who stood behind her and faced that person several times, and the nobles became more and more conservative about the magician's little tricks.

However, if he wants to frighten away this group of people who stand at the pinnacle of power, the strength displayed by a certain magician is not enough. And this strength can't just exist in rumors, it must be able to be confirmed and everyone can see it.

Besides, the nobles can still be the leaders in this world of personal power, so they naturally have something to rely on.

The most obvious weakness is that no matter how strong a magician is, he is only one person. No matter how thoughtful and careful you are in doing things, there are always things you can't take care of. As long as he has concerns about other people and things, he will have weaknesses.

Or it may be that since someone came to the empire, the empress has been doing things quite smoothly.

Especially in the promotion of the bank, even if the nobles are not rejected, in the case of the limited manpower of the Goddess of Gold Coins, it is important to pay attention to who comes first. Because this means that whoever can seize the most share in the limited market that is about to expand, and whoever may not get anything.

Such power is neither too big nor too small. There is no way to break through the defenses of the nobles, making them scramble to kneel and lick one by one. But it has already allowed some people to taste the sweetness from the hands of the empress, which has loosened the strong camp of the nobles.

Now that there is a second dragon flag, the situation has become more subtle.

You must know that the first dragon banner has an unshirkable duty and task, that is to transport livestock to Dragon Island as food for the giant dragons. It takes time to dispatch a sufficient number of livestock, and a qualified fleet is required to transport these live livestock, all of which limit the method and frequency of the first dragon flag.

But the second dragon flag has no restrictions in this regard. What can be regarded as restrictions is the time it takes for the fleet to go back and forth, and the time it takes to search for trading items that the dragons will be interested in.

Now the news of the existence of the second dragon flag has only been circulated in a small area. Even so, it caused a certain sensation and coveting.

But the Empress didn't have the intention to hide the news, or she couldn't hide it either. As long as the people from the Greco Chamber of Commerce are ready, once they go to sea, the news will almost be known to everyone.

In the lost land these days, no one would go overseas with nothing to do. The direction of running was to Long Island again; after returning, all the goods that were pulled out were still in short supply with the prefix of 'dragon'. To the extent that you have to be stupid, you can't figure out the relationship between them.

Although the owner of the second dragon flag was the magician, it was the empress who was chosen by him as the intermediary agent. It is true that such power gave the empress the opportunity to tease and win over greedy people, but it also attracted a lot of hatred.

The most hated one among them should be Prince Behar. Not only did he lose the giant dragon that was his help, he also lost the price he paid for befriending the dragon in the early stage, but he also couldn't take a share of the coveted benefits.

When such a person sent an invitation letter to the Emerald Palace, the female emperor who had not left for several days and only stayed in this palace to give orders suddenly felt bad.

On the one hand, it was also because of the people she sent out, many of them did not show up where they should be, and they lost contact for a long time. Even the Empress would have to wonder whether these people had rebelled, or... who caught them.

In the struggle between nobles, as long as it is not a blood feud, everyone tacitly does not attack people of noble blood. But those servants and subordinates, in the eyes of people of noble blood, are just a group of minions who can be replaced at any time. Dead or disabled, no one will care.

Even so, when nobles fight, they usually fight for the general trend, alliances, and backers. The loss of people now means that the opponent intends to upgrade the level of struggle.

In the past, fighting back to fighting was basically bloodless. But if the struggle escalates now, the pressure on the female empress, who is at a disadvantage in manpower, will increase greatly.

When the lives of servants who simply do things are threatened, the question of whether the price of loyalty matches the reward will be re-examined. This can't help the Empress not to worry, and to think carefully about whether everything that happened around her recently is really as she imagined.

Looking at the sad face of the empress, and staring at the exquisite card in her hand, Lin, who has been getting tired of being together these days, of course will not be so blind as to pretend not to see. He stepped forward and asked, "Is there any trouble? This is... um, an invitation card?"

"Yes." Waving the small card that exudes a faint fragrance in his hand, Alegria said: "An unexpected party invitation card from an unexpected person."

"Who?" Lin asked.

"My cousin who hasn't been weaned yet, sent this... an invitation to the Reward Party."

'Cousin who hasn't been weaned yet', this is the empress's scornful name for Prince Behar.

As for the reward party, it is one of the forms of noble banquets. Aristocratic banquets are basically divided into three categories: balls, concerts, and entertainment parties.

Prom is a dance-themed banquet that emphasizes that attendees can participate in person. This is also the best form of banquet for nobles to socialize.

A concert is simply listening to and appreciating music. Compared with the dynamics and emphasis on participation of dance parties, concerts are static, and their participation and socialization are not so good.

Moreover, the development of music in Midi is not so prosperous, and most of them are used as accessories of dance parties, so this type of banquet is the rarest. It is more common in single-sex aristocratic banquets, such as gatherings of girls or ladies.

The play appreciation party is when the host of the banquet collects some rare treasures or precious works of art, and presents them to show off.

Since the destination is more utilitarian in nature, then who to invite, whether the invited object will participate, the status of the participants and the host, and how to behave are all matters of concern. It can be said that every game is no less than a political intrigue.

There are also some special rewards and rewards. For example, with **** and dark themes including sexual abuse and devil worship, a group of like-minded people gather together to have fun. This type of banquet is of course quite exclusive.

Although Alegria was the emperor of the Karlsruhe Empire, he was marginalized and ostracized by the nobles. Invitations to various banquets, unless it is a state banquet that the emperor will definitely attend, the invitation letter will not be sent to her table.

Even if it was delivered politely, the empress would choose not to attend, so as not to be humiliated. This kind of banquet where she is deliberately invited is likely to be malicious. The remaining one is that the nobleman who hosted the banquet was too stupid.

As for the banquets held inside the royal family, unless it was hosted by the empress, other members of the royal family would not have any chance to host the empress.

Who doesn't know that Alegria picked up the leak from the rest of the royal family and snatched the throne. In addition, the empress herself pushed away the aristocratic group that intended to control her, thus losing support from outside the royal family. In the midst of domestic and foreign oppression, who in the royal family would really respect the emperor.

Under such a background, an invitation letter to the reward party sent by Prince Behar is very strange.

Not to mention the invitation sent to the emperor, it should be a formal invitation to directly enter the palace and register in the eucalyptus. But this invitation letter was sent to the Emerald Palace, which was even more strange because of the inconsistency in etiquette.

Lin didn't have a deep understanding of the twists and turns among the nobles, but he still understood people. At least he still remembers clearly what his ancestors said. The so-called being courteous without doing anything is either **** or stealing.

So this matter can't be a good thing anyway. If you want a boy in his early ten years to repent, it is better to expect his parents to jump out of the grave and beat him until he has a long memory.

But from the standpoint of the empress, it is impossible for her to choose to give in and avoid like herself. So Lin thought for a while and said: "Since I don't understand why the other party threw this invitation over, the easiest way is to go and have a look. See what tricks they play. You can bring someone, let me follow. If If there is any problem, I will guarantee you to come back safely."

I was a little puzzled at first, but later I was a little happy, but at the end, Alegria rolled his eyes. She said: "I thought you would act like a hero and directly help me solve my troubles. I didn't expect that you just promised to take me away. Do you still look like a man who is arrogant on Long Island?"

"Killing is the easiest thing to do, but killing usually doesn't solve the problem. Those who think that killing can solve everything probably want to kill everyone in the world~www.novelbuddy.com~ Just leave yourself alone .There are many people who don't believe what I did on Long Island. It doesn't make sense to prove whether it is true or not. No matter how much evidence I present, those who don't believe it still don't believe it.—"

To defend himself with no pain, Lin turned around and talked about the main point,

"—But most importantly, no matter what that child wants to do, I can guarantee that you can come back alive. In addition to strength, the struggle between nobles sometimes pays attention to a pretext, which is the so-called righteous name points. If they really dare to attack you blatantly, you can kill them all in the name of suppressing rebels, and no one can make a mistake. So for me, this invitation may be a crisis, but it is also Could be an opportunity."

Alegria was once a crazy girl who dared to take risks with a few friends. After a little analysis, Lin also guaranteed her safety, so why would she dare not take this trip. And she has an intuition that she must go.

After figuring it out, the empress waved the small card in her hand and said, "Since you're going, take me back to the palace. I have to change and send a carriage to the guest house to pick you up. The way you use the flashing technique is too scary." , it’s better to walk in a more normal way, so that people will not be picky. The time of the banquet is tonight.”

Lin was taken aback, and asked, "So fast! Is this kind of invitation speed normal?"

"If you want me to say, everything is abnormal." Alegria directly gave his own evaluation. He also said: "And I have a bad premonition. There is also the feeling that I have to go to this banquet. No matter which feeling is true, I will not know what it is until I go."

After thinking about it, the empress said again: "It's best that these feelings are just false alarms. I haven't felt this kind of fear for a long time.
