Chapter 139 Unexpected Summoning

On the morning of February 2th, Xia Lin came to the gate of Longmian Palace ahead of time. After being notified by the captain of the palace guard, a court attendant quickly walked out of Longmian Palace. Seeing Xia Lin, he looked at Xia Lin The mage robe on his body asked:
"Excuse me, is this the mage who came to receive the magic equipment? I am Finn Scotto, Babbitt's attendant sent me here to welcome you, please show me the token of Archmage Agnes!"

"Yes, I'm Charlene Karl. As for the token? Are you referring to this letter?"

In the past, Xia Lin only needed to show the token given to him by the queen when entering Longmian Palace. This was the first time he encountered such a situation where he needed to check the token. He took out the magic crow from the sleeve pocket of the mage robe. asked the letter from Mercury.

"Yes, please follow me into the carriage! Before going to the royal treasury to pick out the magic equipment you want, His Majesty Prieter wants to meet with you to see which mage has obtained the magic equipment from the five court archmages." Congratulations!"

The attendant named Finn took the special letterhead, carefully checked the gold border on it, nodded and returned it to Xia Lin, bowed slightly to Xia Lin, and then stretched out his hand to lead the way.

"Your Majesty Preet?"

Unexpectedly, I had not waited until Emperor Pulitt was summoned because of the muskets, cannons, and steelmaking technology, and I would meet him under such circumstances. Xia Lin followed the attendant somewhat unexpectedly.

Seeing that Xia Lin was indeed the person waiting for the palace servants, the palace guards on both sides of the gate of Longmian Palace also stepped aside.

Under the guidance of this court attendant, Xia Lin boarded a luxurious carriage with royal coat of arms and headed for the north side of Wyrmrest Palace.

This direction is where the main palace of Longmian Palace is located, and it is quite far from the Antioch Palace on the west side of Longmian Palace that he went to in the past. If you don't take a carriage, it will take a lot of time to just walk.

"Your Excellency Master Xia Lin, the Winter Palace is here, please get out of the car!"

In the end, the carriage slowly drove to the northernmost end of Wyrmrest Palace, in front of a manor-shaped palace adjacent to the Seine River.

Following the guidance of the attendants, Xia Lin got out of the carriage, and immediately felt a spring-like warmth. Under such a temperature, the gardens on both sides of the road were full of flowers of all colors in reverse seasons, just like the gardens of Antioch Palace. .

In order to create the scene they want and demonstrate their power and majesty, nobles and royal families are not hesitant to invest precious resources in this kind of place.

Xia Lin estimates that this manor, which covers an area of ​​at least 1 square meters, requires at least 1000 yuan of heating rune disks to work together to create such a pleasant climate. It consumes the magic power equivalent to all the magic power in the magic stone of more than 40 yuan.

Such luxury made Xia Lin really not know how to evaluate it. He continued to walk into the palace following the guidance of Fern's attendant, and finally stopped at the door of a reception room.

Fein's attendant had a soft conversation with a middle-aged attendant at the door who was wearing a black and white attendant with a deep temperament. The middle-aged attendant glanced at Xia Lin unexpectedly, nodded and said:

"Fin, you step back, I will bring Master Charlene Karl in to meet His Majesty Prieter."

"Yes!"

Fein bowed slightly and replied respectfully, then the middle-aged attendant looked at Xia Lin and saluted and said:

"His Excellency Xia Lin, I am Babbitt Louise, the chief attendant of His Majesty the Emperor. I did not expect to see you in this situation. I believe His Majesty will be a little surprised. Please come with me!"

After finishing speaking, Babbitt's chief attendant led Xia Lin into the reception room.

This reception room faces the direction of the Seine River. Through the balcony on the east side, you can overlook the endless boats on the Seine River. The originally cold river wind blows through the garden and enters the room. The spring breeze makes people feel comfortable.

On the balcony, Xia Lin met the supreme authority of the empire, Sassen XVII Preet Ahlika.

As the supreme power holder of the empire, Prieter has the same pair of golden pupils as Princess Dorothea, but what is revealed in these pupils is not majesty, but an unconcealable tiredness.

Even though he was in a pleasant temperature, his lower body was covered with a blanket of fine texture and colorful patterns. He looked like a patient recovering from a serious illness.

And beside him, besides the maids accompanying him, there was also a woman with a cool demeanor wearing a mage's robe.

This woman has a pair of gray phoenix eyes, and her long silver hair, which is as beautiful as moonlight, spreads like a waterfall behind her, revealing a pair of slightly sharp ears, which seems to have some elf blood.

Seeing Xia Lin, she just nodded to him slightly to greet him, and then took a sip of the emerald green sencha in the cup by herself.

"Your Majesty, this is the mage Xia Lin Karl you want to see!"

"Your Majesty the Emperor, may the sun shine upon you forever!"

After Babbitt's chief attendant introduced his identity, Xia Lin gave a mage salute to Emperor Prieter and delivered his congratulations.

"Charlene Karl? I seem to have heard this name somewhere, oh, so that's it, you seem to have the same name as the one who invented muskets and cannons, Charlene Karl?"

Emperor Prieter's condition was not good, and his bloodshot eyes seemed cloudy and dull. When he heard Xia Lin's name, he thought for a while before he realized it, and asked in surprise.

"No, Your Majesty, if you're talking about muskets and cannons, that Charlene Karl is me!"

Xia Lin noticed this, and immediately felt a little worried, but she still answered first.

"Is that Charlene Karl actually the one? Archmage Agnes, I never thought that the mage you mentioned who has the qualifications to choose a piece of magic equipment in the royal treasury is actually the one who brought me New weapons, and the crucial new steel smelting technology Charlene Karl!"

Emperor Pulit looked at Xia Lin's immature face in surprise, and then said to the woman beside him in surprise.

Only then did Xia Lin realize that this was Archmage Agnes Frederica who sent the journal "Runes and Magic" to her.

"Your Majesty Prieter, I think it's because of some unavoidable reasons that you didn't see the list submitted by the editors of our journal "Runes and Magic". The name of the mage Sharin Karl."

Facing Emperor Prieter's amazement, Archmage Agnes put down the silver cup in her hand, and explained lightly. These words made Emperor Prieter look at his chief attendant immediately:
"Is that so, Babbitt?"

"I think so, Your Majesty, I have indeed received government affairs letters from the great mages of "Runes and Magic", but you have been recuperating in the Winter Palace for a while, so you didn't deal with it."

"It turned out to be like this, but this is also a surprise. I didn't expect that Master Xia Lin could not only make great achievements in the field of magic, but also use his own wisdom to create these useful things. It is worthy of my daughter Dorothea's value. people.

Babbitt, please let Master Xia Lin sit beside us! "

Hearing the words of his chief attendant, Emperor Pulitt seemed to be a bit sad as a hero, but when he saw Xia Lin who was still waiting at the side, he managed to cheer up a little bit, and said with a smile:
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Following the guidance of Babbitt's chief attendant, Xia Lin sat down at the round table, and at the same time gave a slight nod to Archmage Agnes in greeting.

"Master Xia Lin, Dorothea told me something about you. Paper, steelmaking technology, guns and artillery, these are all things you created. I wanted to summon you, but this time is just right."

Emperor Prieter raised his right hand as he spoke, and Babbitt knowingly asked the maid on the side to come forward and pour fragrant tea for Xia Lin.

However, from the words of Emperor Pulit, Xia Lin realized that the current physical condition of Emperor Pulit is definitely not as good as it looks on the outside. I am afraid that his life is already in a dying state. Most of the control of the most basic information has been lost.

Xia Lin believed that she could find a lot of things by simply investigating her own affairs.

For example, cakes, new spinning machines and looms, Xinglan Industrial Park, etc., have the existence of Karl's laboratory, and it is easy to think of his connection with industrial development and magic research.

But Emperor Pulit didn't seem to understand these things at all.

This can only explain one thing, that is, the current physical condition of Emperor Prieter no longer allows him to handle too many affairs, which has caused him to basically lose his ability to understand and control the outside world.

This discovery made Xia Lin feel a sense of urgency in his heart. He immediately made a decision in his heart to continue to strengthen the training of the new army, to make this army capable of fighting as soon as possible, and to be ready to deal with the chaos after the death of Emperor Prieter. situation.

"It is my honor to be summoned by His Majesty. Here, I would also like to thank Your Majesty for allowing me to cooperate with the Royal Academy of Magic to train graduate students! Help us go further on the road of magic research!"

Burying these complicated thoughts in his heart, Xia Lin replied.

"Graduate student? That's not something worth mentioning. I'm very relieved to see young talents like you creating various new situations for the empire. It's also appropriate to give you some support.

But Master Xia Lin, I want to ask you a question. In your opinion, what is Dorothea like? "

Placing his head on the cushion of the seat and thinking for a moment, Emperor Prieter remembered that there was indeed such a thing as a graduate student, nodded and said with a smile, but his next question surprised Xia Lin.

It is like this kind of situation where the superiors ask themselves their opinions on the superiors. If they are not handled well, it is easy to offend both parties at the same time. Although Emperor Pulit asked casually, Xia Lin immediately raised the issue. Pay attention to.
