All Gods: I Became a God by Loading Templates

Upon hearing this, Lin Bei nodded politely and said, "I am a prince from the Kingdom of Fandou. It would be wonderful if I could meet King Edward."

The two guards exchanged a glance, thinking in unison: This must be the little prince; he must have been unable to inherit the throne and thus came out to travel.

"Judging from your attire, I know you are of noble status. I never imagined you were a prince."

"As for what you mentioned, I think our king would be happy to receive a foreign prince."

"This matter still needs to be reported."

"We will let you know later, as long as you are still in Edward Castle."

Lin Bei nodded. "I'll be on the Xite Street you mentioned."

May I go in now?

"Of course!"

The two guards simply stepped aside, not even charging them an entrance fee.

Upon entering Edward's Castle, Lin Bei truly understood what civilization meant.

The ground is paved with stone slabs, and livestock manure is cleaned up promptly.

The streets are lined with all sorts of stalls and shops, and the population density is high.

Ripley is like a remote rural area, incomparable at all.

We arrived at the West Street that the two guards had mentioned.

The pedestrians here are different from other people at first glance because of their clothes; you can tell they have money in their pockets.

The shops on both sides of the street are also noticeably more upscale.

Lin Bei casually walked into a restaurant and ordered a few of the local specialties.

While they claim to be specialties, most of the dishes are just meat chops, or perhaps some thick soup and bread.

Aside from changes in the side dishes and spices, there's nothing particularly new about it.

Sitting in the open-air area outside the restaurant, Lin Bei ate his food piece by piece, and Ares did the same next to him.

When she spoke, she startled the waiter.

However, after the initial panic subsided, they calmed down.

It seems that the people in Edward's Castle are quite receptive to strange and unbelievable things.

After Lin Bei methodically ate the 1,056th plate of grilled pork chops.

A squad of fully armed soldiers, dressed in matte armor, escorted a man who appeared to be a noble official to Lin Bei's side.

He bowed respectfully to Lin Bei and said, "I am the secretary of the royal palace, the actual controller of Edward Castle, and His Majesty King Edward XVI has summoned you."

After saying that, he smiled and said, "On behalf of everyone in Edward's Castle, I welcome you, Your Highness from a foreign land!"

Lin Bei nodded and put down his chopsticks. "It is an honor to be summoned by His Majesty Edward XVI. Please wait a moment while I settle the bill."

The clerk replied warmly and politely, "I can pay the bill myself. Your Highness, perhaps we should go and see His Majesty the King first."

"Oh dear~ Isn't this too much of a waste? I'm so sorry~" Lin Bei said apologetically, but he was more eager than ever to leave his seat.

He beckoned to Ares, then mounted his horse and rode directly to the middle of the group.

The clerk didn't take it seriously, thinking: It's just a little food, how much could it be? He had rushed over here after receiving the news, and only half an hour had passed.

So, how much can you eat in an hour?

My annual salary could feed me for three years!

The clerk, still seemingly unconcerned, asked the waiter, "How much?"

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was his own country's secretary who came to pay the bill.

Firstly, someone else is paying for it, so I don't have to get scolded anymore.

Secondly, the two master chefs in the kitchen and their apprentices were finally saved.

The waiter said happily, "Three hundred small gold coins or thirty gold coins, sir! Our boss said we don't need the change."

With a smile, the clerk took out his money pouch and said, "Only three hundred small gold coins?"

Suddenly, he exclaimed in surprise, "What! Three hundred small gold coins! Are you robbing me?!"

No, you guys came faster than a robbery!

The waiter, puzzled, said, "Sir, you've misunderstood us."

The clerk frowned and said, "If you don't give me a proper explanation today, hmph~"

You, your boss, and everyone else in your restaurant should prepare to spend the night in jail!

The soldiers behind the clerk also slammed their spears to the ground with a thud.

The waiter immediately pleaded, looking aggrieved and frightened, "Sir, we really didn't rob anyone!"

Every dish is clearly priced!

The clerk said angrily, "Then what kind of dishes did this foreign prince, this distinguished guest of Edward Castle, eat?!"

"Chickens! All kinds of chops!" the waiter hurriedly replied, "Each serving costs between one and two silver coins!"

In Edward's Castle, silver coins are the main currency, similar in form to those in other countries of the world, except for slight differences in purity and size that result in slightly different exchange rates for gold coins.

The small gold coin was issued by Edwardsburg himself, while Jinlong was the mainstream.

The exchange rate was approximately ten silver coins to one small gold coin, and ten small gold coins to one gold coin.

Thirty gold coins—this was a fortune unimaginable to ordinary people.

The clerk's annual salary was only a little over three small gold coins, and with other income, the total annual salary was only five small gold coins.

Lin Bei directly consumed sixty years' worth of the clerk's salary, demonstrating the restaurant's exorbitant profits.

Seeing the clerk's face turn red, the waiter quickly explained, "There were 1,800 meat chops in total, and our boss has already rounded down the price."

You have to believe me!

The clerk clearly didn't believe it and couldn't help but turn to look at Lin Bei.

Lin Bei touched his slightly full belly and nodded.

Upon seeing Lin Bei admit it, the clerk was immediately put in an awkward position.

Under the watchful eyes of the waiter, the scribe instantly came up with a solution and slowly said, "Put it on the palace's tab!"

The waiter moved his lips slightly, looking like he wanted to refuse but didn't dare to, and could only say with a mournful face, "Sir, I need to talk to my boss about this and let him decide."

The clerk's expression had returned to normal. He waved his hand, signaling the waiter to go and report to his boss.

Taking advantage of the brief lull, the clerk said to ease the awkwardness, "I didn't expect you to have such a large appetite! With such a capacity, you must be a valiant knight!"

Lin Bei simply nodded slightly without responding.

Soon after, the restaurant owner agreed.

The group was then able to leave.

We passed through checkpoint after checkpoint.

The clerk led Lin Bei to the front of the palace.

With a gesture of his hand, he pointed to the palace on the steps and introduced, "His Majesty Edward XVI and many nobles are already waiting for your arrival in the palace."

A banquet will be held for you tonight!

One side led the way.

Upon entering the palace, at the end of a path paved with a red carpet, the elderly Edward XVI sat upright on his throne, looking remarkably energetic.

Beside him was his youngest son, and below him were Duke Philip and his son William, who had come to seek refuge more than a decade ago.

Then came the other nobles.

Upon Lin Bei's arrival, everyone's eyes were drawn to him.

Lin Bei couldn't help but smile as he looked at the scene before him.

'Today this country belongs to me!'

Lin Bei worked tirelessly every night for his scientific research.

Lin Bei's hard work also brought him great rewards.

The newly acquired template prince has also been promoted to the intermediate level.

The increased attributes also unlocked a new template skill: 【Eternal Prince (If you do not abandon me, I will gladly become your father!)】

The limited edition of the godfather recognition requires that the person Lin Bei recognizes as his godfather must be a king or emperor, or the ruler of a country.

The effect is simple: conceptually, it makes Lin Bei the first in line to inherit the throne.

Lin Bei slowly walked into the palace.

They came before the elderly Edward XVI.

As the saying goes, a man's knees are worth gold. This one kneel is worth a fortune! The wealth of the entire Edwardian Castle far exceeds this.

And so, Lin Bei knelt down before Edward XVI with a thud.

"Oh~"

This action immediately drew gasps from the nobles present, who began whispering amongst themselves.

"That's really unexpected!"

"Perhaps this is part of their country's etiquette."

But what happened next was even more unbelievable.

Kneeling on the ground, Lin Bei cried out in a mournful voice, "Father, your son has come to see you."

Deandre Edward, whose hair was turning gray, looked at his father with some surprise, then at Lin Bei kneeling below.

He thought to himself: Where did this illegitimate child come from?!

Edward XVI's eyes initially showed surprise, but when Lin Bei called out the words "father," his expression changed instantly.

She became more loving.
