Arad's crooked savior

Ten billion!

Maybe it's just a number when drinkers drink and chat, an illusion that they don't care if they can't get it.

But when this money really shines with alluring brilliance and passes by your eyes, you can really feel the stupid throbbing called "desire" in your heart!

The reason why Leon didn't give the bounty on the spot the day he saw the seal was exactly the same. At this banquet where all the elites gathered, Ye Lin was used as a living example and model to inspire the elites of the empire to fight. heart of.

As long as you become strong enough, as long as you make great contributions to the empire, you can be like him, obtain gold and silver treasures, and marry beautiful princesses.

Perhaps, no one will be able to replicate his achievements for a long time in the future, but this legendary story will be passed down like the last loyal minister Giger and will forever create glory and inspire people to strive for progress.

Now, regardless of whether Ye Lin wanted it or not, although he theoretically did not suffer a single gold coin's property loss, he was indeed exploited by Leon invisibly, and the effect was extremely good.

In the past, Lyon supported young nobles represented by Barn, with the intention of replacing the blood of the backbone of the empire, which had certain good results.

However, the nobles of the empire are entangled and their interests are closely related. It has been more than 300 years since the founding of Arad in 652 and has always been like this. It is not very simple and easy to eliminate the centralization of power.

As an emperor, he cannot be said to have everything he wants.

If a corrupt noble or a local governor is deposed, who will replace him?

Moreover, this substitute must be qualified enough and absolutely loyal to him!

The cultivation of this kind of talent requires time and institutions.

For example, the Royal Military Academy of Delos.

Therefore, Leon, the second wave of representative figures who inspired young people to work hard, had already set his sights on Ye Lin.

It can be said that even if there was no arrest of Ludmila, he would find a reason to reward Ye Lin in public.

Even if he doesn't need the title, what about the free money?

This 10 billion does not just mean a bounty, but a kind of endorsement fee!

Now the goal has been achieved.

Several large, jeweled boxes were carried to the top floor by the guards, placed on the edge of the hall, and the lids were finally closed.

Ye Lin, who had been thinking about eating just now, perked up and exchanged a few polite words with the old fox Leon, such as "You deserve this", "I deserve it", etc., although it was full of hypocrisy. , but it’s subtly harmonious.

The only fly in the ointment is that after all, the main purpose of this banquet is not "eating", but more like a food appreciation during communication, and I won't be full.

But fortunately, the dishes are diverse and exquisite, and the taste is greatly satisfied.

After three drinks and five dishes, it was time for dessert, which the three princesses were most looking forward to. Leon began to excuse himself from work and excused himself for the time being.

Several confidants also followed, obviously they had important matters to discuss.

The third emperor's daughter's grandfather, Empress Josephine's father, a tall and muscular blond man, stared at Ye Lin for a while without concealing his gaze, as if he was carefully sizing up his grandson-in-law.

Half a minute later, he patted his shoulder with his rough palm and said in a strong voice: "If you have time, go to the Gray Desert as a guest. I will entertain you well."

After that, he also took steady steps to catch up with Leon who had already gone downstairs.

As time went by, the guests on the highest level gradually left. After all, the main emperor was gone, and the remaining time was all about human exchanges between nobles.

"Hiccup~"

Isabella touched her belly and burped without any impact. Anyway, except for the maid, she and Ye Lin were the only ones left on this floor.

Glancing sideways at her, her chest rose and fell a little, but it had nothing to do with support, it was purely a function of the dress.

So he deliberately teased: "I eat a lot, and it's all good food. Why doesn't it grow? Am I not working hard enough?"

After hearing this, the Third Princess gave him an angry look and then took the initiative to hold his arm, humming: "Let's go then, I will make you a cup of wolfberry tea to clear your mouth, and then I will work hard for you." .”

The two Shi Shiran went downstairs, but the third princess's eyes quickly lit up. She saw Cyrus and a few of his few friends.

So Ye Lin was immediately pulled over by her arm, introduced to each other and had a heated conversation with her friends.

"Congratulations, Katrin, you're engaged. She's a handsome and handsome hero."

"I remember before, Katrin, you said you were too lazy to get married. It turns out you have very high standards."

The level of conversation between girls when they meet together is comparable to the scene where a few drinkers gather together and have a few dishes to accompany the drinks during leisure time.

And she couldn't help but cast strange looks at him during the process. The third princess threw it away after using it, pushed Ye Lin, who was a little unsuitable for this environment, and asked him to go downstairs and go back first.

Make your own wolfberry tea.

He didn't know many people here, and there was nothing to talk about. If Siatt were here, as a former noble lady, she might be able to find a few acquaintances to talk to.

When I walked to the next floor, I saw the eldest princess Celia in a black gauze dress, chatting elegantly and calmly with a young knight.

Her hair is tied up and she wears an exquisite hollowed-out royal crown. She has a relatively slender figure, decent etiquette, and a generous and elegant manner.

It can be seen from her conversation with the young knight that the eldest princess is calm and calm, but the man in the tuxedo is a little unnatural. He occasionally looks at the eldest princess's delicate face with his eyes, hiding a hint of admiration.

He is the leading graduate of the Royal Military Academy of Delos, with outstanding academic performance and outstanding talents, and has been awarded the honor of knighthood.

These Royal Military Academies were built and opened under the orders of Lyon himself, and their purpose was to select loyal talents for the Imperial Knights.

And this knight should have a high probability of entering the glorious Imperial Knights in the future.

Ye Lin's gaze only lingered for a moment. He remembered that he seemed to be a Golden Knight of the Royal Military Academy. He only used that medal once when he entered the palace.

He originally wanted to leave directly, but he did not expect that the eldest princess was very sensitive and noticed his brief gaze. She immediately smiled and said goodbye to the knight opposite, and walked straight towards him under his reluctant gaze.

On the way, he also took two glasses of red wine from the waiter's silver tray.

"A few days ago, Celia was not able to come to thank her for saving her life during the Red Moon Festival. It's really shameful."

Celia raised a glass of red wine with a gentle and friendly smile. Seeing that he was a little dazed and did not take the glass, he tilted his head curiously as if he was confused.

"Um, it doesn't matter. The eldest princess's beauty is so mesmerizing." Randomly finding a good excuse, Ye Lin took the crystal cup from the other person's hand and felt a slight warmth on the side of his fingers.

"I guess you won't be staying in Weitalun for long?"

Ye Lin nodded slightly at the sudden change of topic, "Probably, in the next two days, I'll go back to Hedunmar."

Celia blinked her beautiful eyes and said with a smile: "Even the prosperity of the Golden City can't keep adventurers who yearn for freedom?"

He smiled and nodded as acquiescence. The eldest princess said nothing more, raised their glasses to each other, bumped them lightly, and turned around to say goodbye with a ceremonial sip.

"Eh~!"

The eldest princess, who seemed to be the embodiment of elegance, suddenly twisted her ankle and almost fell down due to instability. Fortunately, she grabbed his arm and the heel of her diamond-encrusted black high-heeled shoes actually broke.

The dignified and elegant face seemed to be twitching slightly from pain, and his eyes were pitiful and caring.

Ye Lin twitched the corner of his mouth helplessly. He could clearly feel that the eldest princess held his arm tightly with her palm, making it clear that she wanted him to give him a hand.

Fortunately, this place was located behind a thick round pillar, blocking the view of the hall, so no one noticed the strange behavior of the eldest princess just now.

"There is a rest room over there. My foot seems to be twisted."

Celia seemed a little embarrassed, her cheeks were slightly red, but she never mentioned the matter of summoning an attendant to help.

Her eyes looked pitiful, but they also revealed a firmness, as if she was making some great determination or planning something.
