MTL - Magic Tower Starry Sky-Chapter 1430 invite
Although in Lost Land, the relationship between divine power and imperial power is not so harmonious, and the two parties are not yet at the level where they will never communicate with each other.
But in fact, the only one who is on guard is the imperial power. The secular church of the gods is very happy to provide help to the emperor, the king, and even the nobles. Just because doing so will help increase the influence of the gods.
So even if it was bedtime, the empress and her party still knocked on the door of the temple of the Church of the Three Holy Lights, and let the archbishop of the Lord of Life personally meet.
You must know that the status of an archbishop is also a status of a king in a secular country. Although the empress failed to grasp the real power, she was a formally crowned emperor of the empire. If the archbishop didn't show up, it would easily cause problems.
But for Alegria now, saving her close friend Calamus is the top priority, and those red tapes are irrelevant.
The severely injured mixed-race sea woman was carried by a burly guard knight and sent to the prayer room of the Lord of Life. And this praying room integrates the functions of a consultation room, operating room, rehabilitation room, intensive care unit, etc. of a hospital across many hometowns.
Although the Archbishop is an envoy of God, he is also a healer, researching ways to heal injuries and diseases without the divine grace of the Lord of Life. Because in doing so, it is beneficial to treat the poor. The grace of the Lord of Life is not cheap at all.
However, with the financial support of the empress, the seriously injured calamus was directly bathed in the holy light of divine grace. All the pains on the appearance and viscera are slowed down and even disappeared in the white light.
But the wounds on the outside can be recovered, but the scars on the inside are not so simple. At least at the current stage of Midi, there is no psychological counseling service. Although the Hai Clan girl in a coma no longer had an expression of pain, it was replaced by fear, which lingered.
For psychological trauma, magic is powerless. Maybe the belief in the gods is helpful, but there is no such thing as a short-term magic spell. Even the archbishop of life can do nothing about Calamus' psychological fear.
It stands to reason that when the treatment reaches this stage, the person can be taken back to rest. But at the request of the empress, the group stayed in the Church of the Three Holy Lights for an excuse. In name, he is taking care of Changpu's condition, but in fact he is going to have a secret talk with the nobles invited by Lin.
Generally speaking, the Church of God maintains a neutral stance towards secular power struggles, impartial.
Because of this, the Church of Gods is also the most suitable occasion for multi-party negotiations. This kind of thing is even more common in places like the capital of the empire where nobles gather together. Arranging a secret meeting place or something, the attendants in the temple are very familiar with it.
After confirming that the calamus had recovered, Lin left the temple to deliver the invitation letter written by the empress himself.
The name of the person invited was not signed on the invitation letter. This is quite impolite among nobles, but it is also a normal formal invitation.
What Lin planned to do was to send secret letters and hold secret meetings. It's not sure who I can meet; I don't know if I can invite the other party. With many uncertain factors, there is no need to learn the formal invitation method.
And the first wave of invitations he intends to invite is the Grand Duke of Frias, who firmly supports Prince Behar, and the other six Grand Dukes of the Karlsruhe Empire are all on the invitation list.
Although in the political arena of the empire, a duke also formed a camp that would not lose to other grand dukes, Lin still excluded this duke from the first wave list. Just because even though the camp he led was strong, the duke's own strength did not rank among the grand dukes, which could explain a lot of problems.
The process of sending invitation letters can be said to be the same, without so many fancy changes.
Lin used the flashing technique to enter the Grand Duke's bedroom or study. To frighten these big shots directly is to give them a blow. Then he handed out an unsigned invitation card written by the Empress, and said with a polite but emotionless smile: "My lord, do you have the guts to hear the benefits of His Majesty's delivery?"
"Oh, they are here to send benefits, not to assassinate me?" Every grand duke will ask such a question.
"Hehe, my lord. You are very important, but not that important. The only person who is qualified to talk directly with the Empress is a person of high status and status like you. It is not that important because if I really kill you , it doesn’t help the Empress’s current predicament. I believe that your family can quickly find a candidate to succeed the Grand Duke, maintain the current situation, or even make it worse.”
Although the content is not pleasant, the analysis is reasonable. Every Grand Duke who heard it would not be able to argue on this. The second question they usually ask will be: "What is Your Majesty going to do?"
"Your Majesty, she is frightened and needs supporters who can rescue her from her fear. And who is more suitable than the Grand Duke?" Lin said bluntly.
Some people sneered, and some sneered: "Is it too late to ask for help now? And what leverage does Your Majesty have to impress me?"
If someone asked, Lin would answer like this: "Of course there is, how could it not be possible. She is His Majesty the Emperor, the person with the highest authority in the Karlsruhe Empire."
"So what. Could it be that she is willing to share this power?" The Grand Duke, who replied casually, was usually frightened by his own delusions. Some people immediately thought of what chips the empress still had.
Grand dukes don't waste time asking questions like 'is it possible'. They need more evidence to judge the authenticity of this speculation and the true intention of this invitation. So their next sentence is to ask: "Where to meet?"
If the location of the appointment is too inhospitable, there is a good chance that the invitation is just bait for an ambush.
"In the temple of the Church of the Three Holy Lights, the female empress' servants are receiving treatment there. Choose to meet there, under the eyes of the Lord of Justice, anyone who uses conspiracy or tricks, or uses such infamous methods as assassination It is not impossible for the Lord of Justice to directly launch a jihad against injustice. So I think, Your Excellency can rest assured."
Some grand dukes who love to find fault may reply at this time: "The ambush is set up on the way from my mansion to the temple. The Lord of Justice will not care about such a trick."
"Hehe, Your Excellency, why bother. If His Majesty really wants you to die, wouldn't it be better for me to do it now?"
Whether he was in the study or the dormitory, the Grand Duke who was reminded like this would realize again that his home, and the most private room, had been invaded by the magician in front of him, and no one had noticed. If you really want to do it, now is the best time.
On the way to the temple, it is impossible for him to go alone. No matter how many or how few people you bring, you will definitely be safer than you are now. Choosing to ambush and assassinate at that time will increase the difficulty for no reason, which is completely meaningless.
But even if they figured it out, the grand dukes would not give an answer directly. In their eyes, the magician in front of them was just a messenger at best, and he still used this very rude way. He was already very polite by not throwing his face at the other party, but he was still thinking about getting something from himself.
So most of them accepted the invitation card from the Empress. What is not so polite is to ignore the magician who is waiting by the side, and look like seeing off guests. To be more polite, he just said: "Understood." Then he stopped talking.
Lin certainly doesn't care about such trivial matters. As the grand duke of the empire, there are very few people with power above him in the world, so it is normal to have such an attitude of condescension to all living beings.
But even if it's natural, it doesn't mean someone will get used to it. After the grand dukes accepted the invitation card, Lin took a few steps back, ready to leave in a flash. Before leaving, don't forget to say: "My lord, you are not the only guest invited by His Majesty. So when you see other people, please don't be too surprised." After finishing speaking, leave in a flash!
Because the magician left too simply, none of the grand dukes had time to ask who else was invited by the empress. So they had already made up their minds, but because of such an uncertain factor, they were caught in a dilemma.
Go, if you encounter an enemy or an enemy, should you fight or not? When you meet someone you should hide, do you laugh or not? Is there a possibility of a life-threatening emergency?
However, they were all so curious about the bargaining chip that the Empress might offer, they wished they could know the content on the spot. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com No matter how calm the appearance is, it doesn't mean that the heart is really calm. If everything really didn't matter, everyone would still have to fight for power and grow their families.
It was supposed to be bedtime, or the time to deal with the government affairs of their respective territories before going to bed, and now no Grand Duke can sleep. They summoned their trusted guard leaders one after another to arrange preparations for a secret trip at night.
As for the trespassing magician, the Grand Dukes chose to ignore it tacitly. Perhaps no one saw how the magician came in, but his departure all happened in front of the Grand Duke.
The fact that the teleportation magic without warning or preparation was able to take the magician away without a sound meant that it was the same when he came. At this time, it is difficult to check whether the security measures at home are complete or not.
Rather than let too many people know that they have suffered such embarrassment, so they retaliate with great fanfare, it is better to let this matter be forgotten. Those who can reach their status need most not strength, nor the support of anyone, but a thick skin with a copper wall and an iron wall.
They will not foolishly set off according to the time on the invitation card. All traces that may be exposed must be disguised or misleading to a certain extent. This is the reason for these great nobles to live a long life.
So most of them choose to start early and hide near the temple. Only wait for the time to reach the appointed time, and then appear to meet other invited 'guests'. Maybe everyone can connect together first, and then face the Empress together.
This method of unanimously dealing with imperial power is too familiar to them, so there is no need to prepare in advance. But who the possible 'teammates' are, the Grand Dukes still fell into a feeling of uneasiness.
