Conquest

    Chapter 132—The Emperor Summoned

    Resting all night, this night Shaar didn't sleep well. I don't know why. The mysterious warrior I met during the day always appeared in his dreams. In my sleep, I remembered the guy who brought it to me many times. A suffocating sense of oppression. Shaar woke up twice in the middle of the night, and every time he woke up, he couldn't help but feel depressed.

    Hillbilly's heart, self-esteem is a little touched, remembering that during the day, in the face of the guy, the feeling of inability to resist – standing in front of the mysterious warrior, he seems to be a mole cricket and at the foot of the giant Ants In general, with a slight move, the other party can easily erase themselves…The sense of powerlessness made Shaar feel very guilty, and there was a feeling of humiliation.

    In the morning, Shaar got up early and sat on the bed, suddenly saw the fire pitchfork placed around him, and reached for the hand.

    Fire pitchfork The heavy and cold feel dispelled the stagnation in Shaar's heart.

    "It's still too weak…"Shaar said to himself: "I am too weak. ButHow can we become stronger?"

    Originally I wanted to wait for Ruhr to come over during the day and ask Chubby about the mysterious warrior expert, but after waiting for one morning, Rabbit General didn't show up, and the Ruhr guards who stayed here didn't know.

    Shaar went to see Yulia who lived there, and Yulia, who was in a low mood, said something for a while. At noon, suddenly someone came to report it, and the Imperial Palace came to the messenger.

    Shaar immediately walked out of the door and saw the door of the courtyard. Tatara smiled and gave a middle-aged man a walk in. A horse carriage was parked outside the courtyard, and several warriors wearing silver armor stood on both sides.

    The middle-aged man was dressed in a linen gray robes, wearing a ridiculously fat trousers underneath, and a layer of powder on his face. It looked a little white and scary. His face was a little proud and his head was slightly wide. But with the nostrils facing people. The man walked in with his hands and ignored Tatara next to him. He coughed and the voice was extraordinarily strange…Let me put it this way, it is obviously a hoarse voice, but the tone has a strange and sharp feeling.

    "What about Shaar Thunder?"The court messenger saw the hillbilly coming out of the door, his eyes swept and squinted: "Well, is that you?"

    Shaar nodded and greeted him, looking at the messenger from the court. Suddenly remembered one thing – once heard chubby said that many of the Chamberlain in the Imperial Palace are men who have been smashed…

    Thinking of this thought, hillbilly's eyes couldn't help but glance at the man's armpits, but the pants were fat, but they couldn't see anything from the outside, but the lips and chin were clean and slippery. There is no beard.

    "The sacred emperor has a command, Shaar Thunder, and you will follow me immediately."

    The court messenger's tone was very arrogant, and he snorted, but took out a towel to shake it, rubbed his nose and mouth, and frowned: "What are you doing with me?" Go and change your clothes! How can you look at your majesty! ”

    Next to Tatara couldn't help but smile, and then turned around. Shaar blinked and looked at his own wear. Although he had two nice clothes, he was only sneaked by the guys who sneaked out the day before yesterday. The feces have been lost.

    This…This one is already my best clothes. ”Shaar grabbed the hair: "That…Your Majesty the Emperor will see me now? ”

    "There can still be fake! Hurry and go with me! ”The court messenger shook his head.

    When Shaar followed him, he heard the court messenger whisper: "Dirty country…"

    Shaar is not angry, but his eyes are always inevitable to sweep away under the shackles of the court messenger, and look much more, and his expression is a bit strange.

    The horse carriage outside, not for the Shaar ride, the court messenger on the horse carriage. And Shaar can only bring his own horse, join the team, and go all the way to the Imperial Palace.

    In the northeast corner of Imperial Capital, the Imperial Palace passes through the city. In front of the team, there are court guards wearing silver armor riding axe to open the road. Wherever they go, the pedestrians on the road are far away from the road and let the road out.

    Shaar followed the team and looked around, but found that the pedestrians on the road had cast awe-inspiring eyes, but most of them were fearful, but there were few respects.

    Osgiliath's Imperial Palace was first built in the founding of the country. It was originally a castle. After thousands of years of emperor expansion, it has formed a huge palace complex and is the most magnificent palace complex recognized on the mainland.

    When I arrived at the east of the city, I saw a rounded castle spire, with the empire flag flying above. The open road was flat and clean. The castle was surrounded by a 10-meter wide canal, which surrounded the entire Imperial Palace. Formed a city in the city. The castle is just the entrance to the Imperial Palace. After walking through the suspension bridge, the court guards wearing bright red robes on both sides of the bridge, holding a long axe spear, passing through the castle gate under the castle, is considered to be walking. Into the inner square in the Imperial Palace.

    Seeing the buildings in front of the group, a majestic palace was inexhaustible, forming a group of palaces that looked magnificent, and Shaar immediately opened his eyes.

    The court ambassador also took the horse carriage and looked at Shaar: "What are you doing while sitting right away?" Hurry and follow me, don't let me look around, don't walk around. ”

    This way, Shaar originally wanted to take a closer look at the legendary Imperial Palace, but after crossing several promenades and bypassing several huge buildings and palaces – hillbilly soon found himself turning to get lost. It is.

    This ghost place is too big, and…It is too cold.

    On the road, I saw only one team and one team wearing the Imperial Armor Guard patrol, and I saw a few court attendants, and I walked fast and walked with caution. Other than that,What makes Shaar a bit weird is that in this huge Imperial Palace, in addition to the solemn sense of the majestic architecture, more, it brings a sense of lifelessness!

    Yes – lifeless!

    The reliefs on the building are extravagant, the murals on the walls are beautiful, and even some of the pillars are covered with gold.

    There is also a gallery, the air is full of spices and fragrance. But this weird aroma, but instead, Shaar couldn't help but cover his nose.

    This dead place, this fragrance, made him remember the taste of the shroud…

    After a long walk, Shaar suddenly reacted, why do you feel that it is dead!

    The plaza, the hall, the corridor…There are murals, embossed, statues…

    However, there are no plants here! There is no tree, the ground is laid with neat slate, the corridor is full of exquisite tiles or even marble.

    You can't see a little dirt, and there is no green!

    Supreme, solemn, solemn, solemn…

    But it’s all over the head, but it makes people feel like it’s here…

    "Hey, it’s just a luxury, it’s just like a big grave."

    Hillbilly sneered in the heart.

    Finally, I saw the legendary Emperor of the Byzantine Empire, the great emperor was using lunch.

    It was a large, arched, large room. After walking into a circular building, Shaar waited for a while in the magnificent hall. The messenger was notified and told him to go in.

    Two serious young chamberlain, dressed in grey linen robes, carefully pushed open a gate of red-brown texture and Shaar walked in.

    Here is a dining room, in the large dining room, Shaar took a cursory look, at least for hundreds of people. But such a big room, but only a table.

    The fire of the fireplace burned, and the ground was covered with a soft bear skin, and even the fence in front of the fireplace was golden.

    The current emperor of the empire, Kontos the Great, sitting in the only table in the room, he hung a napkin on his chest and a silver knife in his hand. When Shaar came in, the emperor was seriously putting a bloody dripping The beef was cut, the blood splashed, and even a few drops fell on the white napkin on his chest.

    The room was very quiet, the emperor did not look up, just continued to eat, behind him, standing a middle-aged man, the man stood in the darkness of the corner, quiet as if a shadow.

    Even before Shaar's eyes noticed him, he didn't feel that there was more than one person in the room. Even if I really saw this person, for a moment, Shaar had an illusion: it seems that standing there is really a shadow, not a living person. This guy……There is no trace of vitality in the whole body.

    Unremarkable appearance, plain and unpretentious dressing, head down, hands hanging naturally, even the eyes are half open and half closed, eyes are faint and nothing.

    This is a strange feeling, but it is such a guy, the impression of Shaar is much stronger than the original protagonist in the room – the emperor.

    Stealing to see the emperor, the emperor of the Empire looked very old, the wrinkles on his face piled up, one layer at a time, the shape of the body looks very big, but it is a bit more thin, as if an old lion, but now has been haggard, although the skeleton is still wide, but the body of the black silk robe rolled gold edged, But it seems to be hanging on the bamboo pole in general.

    Kontos ignored Shaar and continued to patiently cut a bloody piece of beef and sent a small piece into his mouth. He felt the freshness and the suffocation in the raw meat, and the emperor comfortably sighed.

    He has always liked to eat meat like this. This habit was developed from the military life of a young man. Although the medical officers in the court repeatedly suggested that such a habit is not good for the health of the emperor.

    The tongue sucked the smell of blood, and Kontos finally looked up and looked at the young man standing in front of him.

    Great Emperor of Lance showed a complicated smile on his face, because he noticed that Shaar didn't kneel down, but stood there straight, and there was not much fear and tension in his look. ContraryIt was the pure gold candlestick on the table that caught the attention of this young man.

    "do you like it?"The emperor spoke up.

    "Eh ……What?Shaar stunned.

    "This candlestick, you have been watching it."Kontos the Great left the knife and picked up a silver cup. The cup was a red wine. He took a sip and the wine left in the corner of his mouth was like the blood of the red.

    Shaar was awkward. He smiled awkwardly. He didn't dare to look at the candlestick again. He couldn't help but sigh: Hell, this candlestick is really big…I have to pay a few pounds, I don’t know if it’s pure gold…

    "When you go, you can take it away, it is my reward for you."The emperor dropped the glass and removed the napkin on his chest.

    "Eh ……AhShaar was overjoyed, and his face naturally showed a bit of joy: "Is it really for me?"

    Kontos laughed, and he started to like this little girl with a slap in the face – at least, this kind of person should be simpler and easier to control.

    simple……If chubby Ruhr or Tatara hears the emperor's voice, I can't help but want to hit the wall…

    After the emperor smiled, his face returned to seriousness: "You are Shaar Thunder."

    Well, that’s me.Shaar stood up.

    "You see me, not too respectful."Kontos's eyes are a bit ridiculous.

    “Eh ……” hillbilly thought about it, hesitated, and actually said an answer that he didn’t even think of – he shouldn’t have spoken to the emperor, but it seems that the emperor doesn’t look too difficult. Get along, "Well, because I am not a Byzantine."

    The meaning of the words, I am not your subject, so there is no need to fear you.

“……”Kontos listened to this sentence and stunned it. Then he couldn't help but laugh a little. After laughing, he looked at Shaar and nodded. "Yes, I have read your information. You are the Primal Wildfire." Big, temporarily joined our army before the war. Mmm…But from now on, you are already a Byzantine. ”

    Shaar didn't talk, just look at the emperor.

    "Your performance on the battlefield, I heard, although the war report I saw was a bit exaggerated, but I think your performance can afford those praises. Moreover, you injured Hasting. ”

    When referring to the name "Hasting", in the eyes of the emperor's knees, the pupils contracted a bit, and there was a hint of temperament in the tone.

    "I just sneak attack."Shaar simply said the truth, he had a feeling in his heart. In front of the emperor, telling the truth, maybe there are some unexpected benefits. "Hasting is much stronger than me, I can't beat him." If you face it, he can kill me easily. This time he was hurt because he was not prepared to be attacked by me, and…He is not hurt badly. ”

    Then, at the request of the emperor, Shaar had to challenge the name of Bonfrett on the battlefield, how to force Bonfrett to the battlefield, how to make Bonfrett attract Hasting's attention, and then how to attack him on the side. succeed.

    Throughout the process of telling, Shaar deliberately showed himself to be rude and unconstrained, and his mouth was unconstrained. When he said that he was happy, some swear words blurted out and there was no etiquette. The words "the rabbit that sells ass", "the little white face that is afraid of death", "the death of the prototype" are even more endless.

    Shaar is not stupid, he did it on purpose!

    Because although there is not much thought, Shaar instinctively feels the change of the emperor's attitude! When he said the first swearing, the emperor raised his eyebrows, and the smile in his eyes seemed to be a bit more.

    Later, when Shaar said "Bonfrett's little white face of the prototype", the expression of the emperor's majesty revealed a quick look…

……As a result, where does Shaar still understand the emperor's mind?

    He deliberately described how he reorganized Bonfrett's process with a bit of exaggeration and detailed description, and then talked about how he attacked Hasting to succeed, then understate it.

    Finally, after Shaar finished speaking, Kontos had already had a clear smile in his eyes.

    Good.

    good !

    Perfect!

    If you say that at the beginning, you just have a good impression on this sly boy, now the emperor feels that he already likes this kid.

    Bullying Bonfrett, the "little white face of the prostitute", made the emperor very quick. When it comes to the understatement of Hasting's success, the Emperor mistakenly believes that this kid is an honest man who does not work hard.

    Thus, in the evaluation of "simple", the emperor added another definition to hillbilly: honest and honest.

    (loyal and honest hillbilly?…Tatara Ruhr and others continue to resent…)

    Valor, simple, honest and honest…I would like to ask, such a military commander, which emperor does not like it? ?

    Kontos great mood is obviously good, Shaar said about the sneak attack hasting process, the emperor actually asked him a few more personal questions, especially asked Shaar in Primal Wildfire as a hunter, how to hunt in the wild, How To kill Demon Beast These trivia, Shaar see the Emperor's face change, deliberately disguised himself as a Shuntouqing without many minds, speaking of those who survive in the wild, but also deliberately told a few of their own embarrassing things, as well as when in danger, the story of the heart desperately …

    Kontos didn't notice it himself. In this lunch, he laughed a lot more than the previous ten days.

    At the same time, hillbilly in the eyes of the Great Emperor of Lance, it is more and more pleasing to the eye.
