Uncle, I am not an ordinary office worker.

"He asked me to ask you a question for him. Do you want to return to Leitania?"

The Queen said slowly.

Viviana froze in place.

Having been in society for so long, although she has always disliked a life of intrigue and deception, she has been influenced by it and can naturally understand the meaning of the Queen's words.

This is not just a question, it is a promise! As long as Viviana nods at this time, she can return to Leitania openly, and the Droste family will be delighted to accept her and even let her become the head of the next generation. She can see her parents again and become a true noble. Even if she doesn't want to return to the family, she can announce the creation of her own family branch, become a glorious founder, enjoy her own fiefdom and title, and become a true ruler, rather than the current knight noble with only a facade.

Even more so, with the Queen's praise and attention to her magical talent, she might be able to become a big figure like the Golden Law Guards, become a member of the Queen's Voice, go up to the high tower, and possess wealth and knowledge that no one else can enjoy.

This is the lifelong goal of countless Leitanians, and now that it is so close, Viviana has almost no reason to refuse.

But she still shook her head: "I am grateful and honored. But, I am very sorry, Your Majesty."

"Oh, why?" The Queen raised her eyebrows and asked, seeming surprised by the refusal.

Viviana lowered her head even lower. She opened her mouth but was too embarrassed to say the reason.

If she returned to Leitania and became a noble, she would be too far away from Roy.

In the Great Knight Territory, this is Roy's home. Although Roy is very busy, at least she can meet him every time she goes home.

She was extremely grateful to this man who had given her hope and strength, who had pulled her out of the quagmire of the Chamber of Commerce and allowed her to meet the real knight she had always dreamed of. Even if it was not out of love, but simply to repay her care and kindness, she did not want to leave Casimir.

"Haha, Roy, why don't I just help you get married now?"

The Queen looked at Roy who had fallen silent and gave sincere advice.

Roy fell silent.

Of course he liked Viviana, but he had to be responsible.

The sea crisis could come at any time, and he had not yet gained control of the Lateran underground military command system, nor had he figured out a good way to enter the ocean and find an unmelting iceberg for genetic identification. Each of these two things was difficult and dangerous. It was difficult for him to guarantee that he would survive.

Although the body of the Sea Si is strong, the last knight was defeated by the awakened Ishamara. The Sun Sword is almost invincible, but there is no sunlight at the bottom of the sea. Kal'tsit's riddle is extremely mysterious, but most of the Sea Si don't even have the ability to speak. In the end, Roy's most impressive thing is [Power of Bounty Hunter A], which is his two fists.

Now that he has agreed, does that mean he will have to take Viviana with him on the adventure, or leave her in Casimir and never come back?

Roy thought that her moral standards were not very high, and she had dreamed of having a harem, but she didn't want Viviana to wait for her for the rest of her life.

So, he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and forced the agreement that was almost on the tip of his tongue back into his heart. He turned to look at Viviana and said:

"Viviana, let's make a deal."

Viviana looked into Roy's eyes, and instead of being disappointed, she nodded seriously, "Okay."

..........

Three days passed in a flash. During these three days, Roy went to the Source Cloud Daily Necessities Company, talked to Xuantie Selina about the acquisition of Plot 0, went to Lin Guang's house to pick up gifts, checked Maria's training results for the first time in a long time, had afternoon tea with Maenna and Margaret, and mediated their family conflicts. He made an appointment with Monique and Xinteleya to go shopping, watched the latest Columbia science fiction movie, and complained about the badend ending in which the protagonist rushed out of Terra and found that the universe was empty and dead. Finally, he set foot on the journey back to the Queen's Voice with the Queen.

Lottie Carr, Lateran's messenger to Leithania, a Sakota girl who dyed her hair into the shocking primary colors of red, green and blue, was already waiting for him in the Queen's Voice.

Volume 1: Chapter 270: Lottie Carr, the Messenger of Nations

Before meeting Lottie Carr, Roy always thought that the reason why the Terra people had such colorful hair colors was because this place was indeed very two-dimensional.

After meeting Lottie Carr, Roy finally understood that Terra's hair salon business had always been as good as anyone else's!

When the three primary colors of red, yellow and green appeared on a person's head and evenly divided her short hair into three parts, Roy realized that the Sakota people were indeed open and uninhibited, and that a person's appearance really depends on the face. If the face is good-looking, even if the hairstyle and color are abstract, the whole person will not be that bad.

While Roy was shocked by Lottie Carr, Lottie Carr was also looking at him.

The Lateran messenger did not wear the modified dark green monastery uniform that was standard for messengers of all nations. Instead, she changed into a Leitanian-style aristocratic outfit. The slim-fitting top and the long skirt with beautiful lace made her look more like a traditional noble daughter than a preacher. She looked at Roy with curiosity and excitement. She wanted to speak, but for some reason she closed her mouth several times before she opened it. She could only stare at Roy with her big green eyes, trying to get him to speak first.

"Uh...Ms. Lottie Carr?"

Roy, who was really uncomfortable being stared at, tried to ask. Unexpectedly, Lottie Karl's reaction was particularly intense, and she replied almost immediately:

"I'm!"

Then, as if she had opened a box of conversation, she asked rapidly:

"Are you Roy? I've seen your matches! You're awesome! Even better than the Pope! Great Wilderness Starfall is so handsome! How did you come up with this name? I heard that you have a good relationship with the Knight of Glory, is that true? Oh, by the way, can you sign for me? Sign right here!"

As she spoke, she took out a sticker with a Colombian crab printed on it from the bag on her back, handed it to Roy along with a pen, and looked at him expectantly.

Roy's mouth twitched, he took a few deep breaths, took the paper and pen, wrote his name, and handed the things back.

Lottie Karl excitedly took the sticker and said solemnly:

"Thank you! I will stick it on my Guardian Gun! Next time I go back to Lateran to apply for a job, I will definitely be the most eye-catching one!"

There were so many flaws in this sentence that Roy didn't know what to complain about for a moment.

I actually compared myself to the Pope and thought the Pope was not as good as me. Cactus Tart Grandpa would cry, right? Isn't the Guardian Gun very important to Sakota? I remember that even the Archangel took good care of his Guardian Gun. Why did you put stickers on it? Also, why can you become the most handsome guy in the audience by putting my signature on the Guardian Gun? Is my signature a charm value item? Also, your Lateran job appeal meeting is not a job appeal, but a competition for fashion value?

This guy doesn't seem very reliable...

"If my idol says that to me, I'll be sad too. But most of the time, I'm still serious."

Lottie Carr suddenly spoke, causing Roy to snap back to his senses and notice her smiling face.

Did she see what I was thinking? No, if it was just a guess, it couldn't be so accurate. This familiar feeling...

Roy frowned slightly and asked with some fear: "A psychic warlock?"

Lottie Karl nodded carelessly, with no intention of hiding it from Roy:

"You know, the country of Leitania is very different from Lateran. When the messengers from all nations set out, everyone drew lots to decide their destinations, but Leitania was singled out. The reason is simple. To do things here, you have to take great risks. Only capable people can come here."

Lottie Carr explains,

"Initially, this errand was supposed to be given to another person, but that person committed some crimes and escaped from Lateran. He is still wanted by the notary office, so they had no choice but to find me. The reason is that I was born with some spiritual spells."

Roy understood. If he guessed correctly, the candidate for the messenger of all nations who had committed some crime and escaped from Lateran should be the sister of the undertaker, Arturo. Coincidentally, in the plot that Roy knew, her last appearance was also in the Sunset District of Leitania.

However, Roy could also hear from Lottie Karl that being a messenger of all nations in Leithania, trying to figure out the words and deeds of those nobles, carefully maintaining Lateran's neutral position, and completing the tasks of winning over and contacting various countries was indeed not an easy task. So much so that Lateran even felt that it had to send someone with a talent for mental magic to be competent.

"Have you been using magic the whole time?"

Roy asked cautiously, and was refuted by Lottie Carr:

"How is that possible? I don't have the energy to read everyone's thoughts. I just saw that your expression was not right, so I used it secretly. Besides, even if I wanted to use it, it's impossible. The nobles have one or two psychic sorcerers around them."

Roy felt a little more at ease and gave up the idea of ​​activating [Water Moon]. He knew that Lottie Karl was telling the truth. After all, he had dealt with a psychic sorcerer before. The psychic sorcerer was a subordinate of the Teutonic Elector at the time and read some of Roy's thoughts while he was not paying attention.

Psychic Warlocks are always a sensitive profession, and no one wants their secrets to be stolen by others without knowing it and used as a constraint or weakness, especially for someone like Roy.

Although he got her answer, Roy still didn't want to spend too much time with her, so he got straight to the point and said:

"To be honest, I have something to talk to you about. I want to go to Lateran and meet His Majesty King Evangelista XI. Is there any way to do this?"

Generally, outsiders were not allowed to enter Lateran at will. Once residents left Lateran without permission, they would be considered to have given up their right to live in Lateran and would not be allowed to return. Roy wanted to enter Lateran and see the host. He couldn't just force his way in. He had to find a way.

Faced with Roy's question, Lottie Karl, the messenger of all nations, was a little confused.

Kuranta is going to the Holy City? I haven't heard that Roy believes in Lateranism?

And she also wanted to see His Holiness the Pope? Even a messenger of all nations like her had no right to decide on such matters. She could only report it to the Pope's Office and let them make the final decision.

Lottie Carr's expression became serious. Her keen political sense, which enabled her to be selected as the Universal Messenger, made her sense that this request was unusual. She asked:

"Does this have anything to do with the recent circumstances that led to the alliance between Leitania and Casimir?"

"Have?"

"Is this related to the so-called crisis?"

Roy was silent for a moment and took a deep look at the girl in front of him who had a completely different style.

Crisis, this word obviously could not have been revealed to her by the Queen. This messenger from all nations must have read the Queen's mind.

She was able to perform such a trick under the nose of a master of Originium skills at that level without being discovered, or even if she was discovered, she was not punished. She was indeed very capable. She was worthy of being the messenger of Leitania after Arturo.

In Lottie Karl's eyes, Roy looked at her meaningfully and nodded:

"Have."

She gave a wry smile and said, "I'll help you apply."

Volume 1: Chapter 271 Evangelista XI

Lateran, Papal Palace, Holy See.

Evangelista XI, the living Lateran Saint, the guide, leader, and protector of all Lateran faith, and an internationally renowned gourmet, is now faced with a difficult decision.

He was hesitating whether to add some original ingredients to the recipe of the cactus tart, so he called the musketeer who was responsible for guarding the Pope's Hall and handed him two finished products:

"Don't worry, this is my new invention, please taste it and make your judgment."

The musketeer naturally did not dare to disobey the order of Evangelista XI, not to mention that he had a strong curiosity about all kinds of fresh desserts. He immediately picked up the fruit tart on the left and put it into his mouth with great expectations.

"The skin is crispy, the inside is chewy, and the taste is unique. It feels like being in a wasteland, with a howling wind sweeping over the body, bringing a cool feeling while also making the skin dry and stinging!"

The cavalry couldn't help but exclaimed,

"Your Majesty, what is the name of this new dessert with such an unusual taste?"

"Do you like it? It's cactus tart!" Evangelista XI replied happily.

"Cactus tart?" A stunned expression appeared on the face of the lance rider. He obviously didn't expect such a fresh and refined taste to come from a plant like cactus. He immediately exclaimed sincerely, "Your Majesty is worthy of being able to make such a delicious fruit tart with cactus. Ah, that bitter and tingling feeling is still irritating my mouth until now, as if jumping in my throat, reminding me of the bitterness in the wilderness! How did you do that?"

Although asking for the recipe of a new dessert was a very rude thing to do, and it could even be considered a serious crime if it constituted theft, Evangelista did not care. The Pope, who had a kind face like a KFC grandfather, replied kindly:

“I keep some of the crushed cactus spines in there so you know you’re getting the original flavor of cactus tart.”

"Stab?" The musketeer's excited expression suddenly froze. His eyes under the helmet stared at Evangelista XI in disbelief. Belatedly, he covered his throat and started coughing.

A few minutes later, the emergency team from San Marengo Hospital arrived and carried the musketeer, whose throat was choked by "accidental ingestion of abnormal food", into the ambulance.

Evangelista XI silently put an X on the plan of adding cactus thorns.

After resolving this worrying and regrettable matter, he turned to the next page of today's schedule and read the various briefings that had been sent to the Office of the Holy See in the Vatican in recent days.

There were complaints and dissatisfaction from civil servants in the Tenth Department about the heavy workload of regulatory approval work, as well as applications for longer vacations. There were reports from the Eleventh Department on the protection of trade routes and the performance of special missions, as well as densely packed task completion reports from the notary office. These were the work of Federico. Saccotta, who seemed an outlier to others, handled official business very quickly, but was sometimes a little blunt and rude. Fortunately, no trouble had been caused for the time being.

As for why Evangelista XI paid special attention to him, the reason was simple, because he had a sister who was even more eccentric than him and became famous earlier - Arturo.

After reading each report bit by bit, Evangelista XI's eyes finally fell on the few letters from the messengers of all nations at the bottom.

At the front was a letter sealed with Phoenix wax. This was a report on Mastema's supervision sent by Fiammetta. To be honest, Evangelista XI knew that the reason why Fiammetta followed Mastema closely was because she didn't want to lose another friend due to her absence. So after reading the letter she sent back, he carefully picked up the pen and wrote back:

"Greetings, Xin'an. Madam Immortal Burner, who has done her duty. Lemiaoan has not yet woken up, but her condition is improving. I have learned about Mastema's recent situation. You have done a good job. Lateran always welcomes your return. Pope Evangelista XI."

After carefully sealing the letter and placing it in the mailbox where someone would come to collect it every day, Evangelista XI looked at the last piece of mail.

Looking at the Leitania symbol marked on it, he sighed slightly.

The letters from Leitania were few and far between, but every time he received one, he would be annoyed for a long time. But he had to open the wax seal, unfold the letter, and read.

"Your Holiness the Pope"

"I am Lottie Karl, the messenger of all nations stationed in Leitania. Leitania and Casimir officially held a ceremony a few days ago, announcing that the two countries have formed an alliance, non-aggression, and mutual assistance in attack and defense."

"Behind this unexpected reconciliation, the mastermind who is suspected of saving a queen and an imperial governor of Leitania, who won the first place in the knight competition in Casimir, and who has a lot to do with the power of the Linguang family of the Supervisory Association, the Knight Roy of Heng, found me."

"His answer confirmed the truth of the intelligence I sent you some time ago. There is indeed a crisis that we are not aware of that is brewing on Terra. Leitania, who has noticed this situation, has chosen to ally with Casimir, who also knows about this. This is just the beginning."

"For the sake of peace and tranquility on Terra, he wishes to have a face-to-face conversation with you and ask for your opinion."

"Your Messenger: Lottie Carr"

"Voice of the Queen, Leitania."

"......"

The letter was very short, with almost no superfluous words. Judging from the number of words, it could be read in just a few minutes, but Evangelista XI did not put down his hand for a long time, and his furrowed brows did not relax.

Crisis...? After receiving this word, Lottie Karl did send a letter to Lateran immediately. After receiving the letter, he did not neglect it at that time, and immediately went deep underground to verify with the "Law".

But the result was unexpectedly "no threat".

Between the law that had protected Lateran for a thousand years and the Queen of the Leitanians, Evangelista XI undoubtedly believed in the former more. Therefore, he did not take any action, but just let Loti Karl wait and see, and continue to investigate the specific content of the crisis.

But now, not only did she not bring him any concrete news about the so-called crisis, but she also brought a Knight Heng who wanted to meet him?

Evangelista XI felt that this was a conspiracy, a conspiracy between Queen Letania, Roy, and Casimir. But he couldn't figure out what Lateran had done to offend these three countries? What was worthy of their attention?

He did not doubt Loti Karl's loyalty. The Sakota were the most honest people, and their empathy made them have almost no grudges or deceptions against each other. So, the best way at this time was to remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances.

Since Roy wants to come, let him come. As long as he is in the Holy City, with the protection and restrictions of the law, he is not worried that Roy will do something irreparable. Evangelista XI is very curious about what the so-called crisis is.

After thinking for a moment, he picked up his pen and replied:

"In a few days it will be the annual Festival of Praise. On this day, Rutland never refuses guests."
