The journey of the soul-piercing pawn to the God of Dharma

At about five o'clock, White freshened up, and Dai Li dressed up to attend. They ordered ten knights errant in the middle of the army to serve as bodyguards and headed to the palace.

In the center of the ancient city of Daur is the Royal Palace. It is just a magnificent ancient city, symbolizing a long history and civilization. The empire's civilization level is very high.

As a once glorious and powerful empire in ancient times, Medeis pioneered many business practices and market systems, creating a solid foundation for its prosperity and wealth.

The ancient city of Daur has established a huge trading network to promote the flow of goods and trade. The city's markets, commercial streets and ports have become centers for merchants to conduct transactions and exchanges.

At the same time, laws and regulations were also implemented to supervise commercial activities, ensure fair competition and protect consumer rights. The prosperity of this commercial and market system has brought economic prosperity and cultural prosperity to the ancient city of Daur.

White and Dai Li led twenty knights-errant on horseback into the palace, and were led by the opponent's royal knights through the beautiful boulevards to the palace.

White and Dai Li entered the palace as guards and followed the knight to the side hall to rest.

"Wow! What a prosperous palace. It's old and well-maintained. It's so beautiful! These sculptures are lifelike and have great craftsmanship..."

"Talk less, you don't need to visit the palace, just keep smiling!".

They passed through the main hall, bypassed the parliament hall, walked across the stone bridge, passed the central axis of the garden, and entered a round classical statue. The palace style resembled an upside-down basin.

When you walk into the palace, you instantly feel as warm as spring. There are constant-temperature arrays, magic lamps, and extremely luxurious decorations. The interior is decorated with white jade and gold, which symbolizes the imperial power and wealth all over the world.

The knight leading the way bowed and left, and then a maid came to guide the way.

After passing through the huge hall and pushing the door open, I saw a gathering of distinguished guests, including ministers, princes, officials, ladies, and young ladies. The garden was full of flowers and spring scenery.

They all looked different, chatting in twos and threes, a bit like a party, a gathering of high society. It seemed that the palace invited many guests this time.

White and Dai Li were a little reserved when they arrived at a strange occasion. They casually took the wine from the palace maid's tray and took a sip to resolve the embarrassment.

Taking Dai Li's hand, she found a place to sit down and observed the surrounding situation. She had a serious look on her face, and her professional habits allowed her to see all directions and listen to all directions.

"Relax, it's safe here. Today is just a celebration. The most they can do is observe us!"

"Sir, I'm sorry. I'm used to it. Okay, let's have a drink!"

At this moment, a lady came forward, about fifty years old, slightly plump, with a nice smile. He smiled and said: "Young man, which family are you from? You are so handsome?".

White stood up and saluted: "Dear Madam, I am here at the invitation of the palace. I am not the son of any family, but the highest officer of the refugee mercenary group. My name is White Zhuanglin. I am just a refugee. I have no noble title. This is me. Concubine Dai Li...".

Dai Li stood up and curtsied: "Hello, madam! Nice to meet you!".

"I see! Since you are a distinguished guest invited by the palace, please feel free to do so. It's a pleasure to meet you. Let me introduce you. I am the wife of the Minister of Finance. Just call me Lady Margaret!"

"Nice to meet you. Madam is still charming and graceful. It's an honor to meet you!"

"Hehe! The guy is handsome, knowledgeable, and an interesting young man! If you need help in the future, just come to me! Mercenary group? But you just came back from the front line to receive a reward for meritorious service?"

"Madam, you are joking. The mercenary group has never participated in the war. I think when the time comes, it will naturally enter the battlefield to strive for fame and fortune. Our army is not here to enjoy the scenery!".

"Well said, I wish the young man good luck, I'm sorry...".

White knew several aristocrats in twos and threes, and Dai Li's presence did block the romantic encounter. The beautiful aristocratic lady just watched from a distance and then looked away.

Talia is a little girl, she didn't expect to be so scheming. With Dai Li by her side, there is no chance of an affair...

For about an hour, the guards guided the guests up the spiral staircase and entered a huge auditorium.

Then the seats were arranged. There were more than ten rows of long tables, and people were seated according to their numbers. There were girls on them. The guests reported their names and beautiful palace maids took them to their seats.

White and Dai Li waited patiently to be seated. For more than half an hour, White was actually in the first row. Calculated, he was on the same level as the prince, quite well-preserved.

The palace maids began to serve wine and food, and their personal seats were relatively empty, making it easier to serve food. In fact, there was not much food in this kind of banquet, it was just a formality.

"This young man is very familiar with who is the descendant of a prince!".

An old man at the next table, wearing a crown, asked with a smile...

White: "It was not my intention that the palace arranged for me to sit here. I am just a small person, the highest officer of the refugee mercenary group. I am laughing at it. I am sitting at the table with the princes. I am really frightened!"

The old man is Prince Li Ke Daur. Not only does he know the refugee mercenary group well, he is also extremely familiar with it.

"That's it. Mr. White is a foreign distinguished guest. Of course he is qualified to sit here, so there is no need to restrain himself! Refugee mercenaries are good at fighting. Coming to Medice to join the war is an act of great benevolence and justice. Come! Cheers to peace!"

Then a group of magicians also entered. They were in the second row, and three of them were in the first row. They were obviously of high status.

It wasn't until the guests were almost all here that the old king came belatedly and entered through the gate surrounded by his guards. The guests all stood up and clapped their hands and applauded.

The king walked to the front desk and took his seat. He was old and had a dragon-like face. He greeted the guests to take their seats and said slowly: "You are all here. Very good. I would like to toast you all. On this National Day, please come and celebrate. , Secondly, in order to announce something big, I drank this drink first.”

White followed suit and drank as the Romans did, then sat down after having a drink.

The old king: "I am now eighty-three years old. I am already old and unable to handle state affairs. Today I call on all the nobles to come and bear witness. I am going to abdicate the throne to the prince. This time I will take care of myself and cultivate my character."

The people below were talking a lot, and soon returned to calm. There is no doubt that the royal family has such an orthodox handover. The nobles below expressed their respect for the royal family's decision and their loyalty to the royal family as always.

As a witness, White was not interested in the old king's explanation and ignored the matter.

He mentioned self-cultivation, which means that the old king has now become a devout believer in Tiangong Shintoism, which is definitely a good thing.

The old king summarized his life, he had both merits and demerits, and he spoke frankly.

Throughout his life, he focused on improving people's livelihood, pursued political reforms, promoted education, built water conservancy projects, and promoted commercial prosperity. He was quite satisfied with his achievements.

His only fault was to form an alliance with Haudson, which led to Tuval's revenge and plunged the country into a whirlpool of war. He still regrets it. He speaks frankly about his merits and demerits in his life and leaves them for others to comment on...

Most people sang praises for the old king. White believed that this was a family matter. Since he was brought here for a reason, he could only adapt to circumstances.

At first, he secretly joined the Kingdom of Haudeson to participate in the attack on the border town, but the result was that the count's force was triggered to lift the seal, so the two countries' coalition forces failed and returned.

After the border town ushered in peace negotiations, the Tuvar Palace, under the governance of the magician, directly used troops against Medeis, and the centuries-old friendship between the two countries was destroyed.

White thinks this is a stupid move. Only by uniting with Tuval can Medeis prosper forever. Choosing sides is actually a stupid move and will be hit. He thinks that no one can beat Medeis...
