I Live Forever in Memory

One less.

Li Lin looked at the long red carpet laid out on the floor of the hall, extending to the end. There are several chairs placed in the innermost part of the room, five on each side, and one in the middle.The dragon pattern is engraved on the wall behind this chair, and whoever can sit on that chair with his back against the dragon is naturally the king of this country.

"It's you?"

Li Lin was looking at the throne when he suddenly heard a gentle yet heroic voice from the side. He turned his head to look, and the handsome red-haired knight was looking at him in surprise, and then smiled.

"I've always wanted to find you." Reinhardt said gratefully, "You have done a great favor to this country, and I always wanted to thank you. But..." He glanced at Al who was beside Li Lin, "But I didn't expect you to be Priscilla-sama's knight."

Li Lin's heart sank when he heard the words, and he secretly said that he was not good.

He had shown a cowardly look in front of Reinhardt back then, how could he be Priscilla's knight who would be afraid of killing people?On the contrary, if her knight will show that appearance, maybe it is a kind of disguise and deception...

"No." In order to prevent Reinhardt from thinking "he was lying to me", Li Lin immediately denied, "I am not Priscilla's knight."

"This brother is just a friend." Al suddenly said, "I'm the real knight haha."

"...Is that so?"

Reinhardt nodded, seeing that the people present were almost here, and said to Li Lin: "The meeting is about to start, please be sure to talk to me next time after it is over."

"it is good."

There was no reason to refuse, and Reinhardt smiled when he saw that he agreed, and then stood in front of all the knights.

"Sages will enter—"

At this time, whoever said something loudly, the thin voice made Li Lin feel like a eunuch.As the voice fell, several elderly elders walked in from the door. Their expressions were majestic and solemn, and they were full of aura. At first glance, they looked like old Jianghu.

The most eye-catching thing among them is a white-haired old man with a long beard that almost reaches the ground. His stature is relatively short, but his majesty is more powerful than the others. It can be seen that among these old men, he holds the largest A person of authority.

"Brother, this old man is very powerful." Al turned his head and leaned over and whispered: "At present, he basically has the final say in this country. As for the name...it seems to be Mycrotov?"

Li Lin nodded to express his understanding, and watched the group of elders walk to the innermost part of the room, and sat on the chairs on the left and right sides. As for the throne in the middle, it was vacant.

"Everyone from the Council of Sages and the candidates for the king have arrived. As the head of the Knights of the Guards, I will boldly step over and take the place, and Marcus will be in charge of the execution of the meeting."

The speaker was a tall and majestic middle-aged man, and Mycrotov, who was sitting up, nodded slightly when he heard the words: "I'm sorry."

Marcus saluted him, and then solemnly faced everyone: "This time I trouble you to come to the king's city, and gather all the adults of the Sage Association here, all for the purpose of electing the next king."

"The cause of the incident was about half a year ago. Headed by the former king, the royal blood passed away one after another. A country cannot live without a king, especially for our "Dragon Kingdom Lugnica", the existence of the king is closely related to the "covenant" connect."

Covenant—that is, the contract concluded between the kingdom and the dragon.

Li Lin also read a lot of literature from shallow to deep when he was learning the world's characters.At the beginning, he could only read fairy tales, but later he knew more characters, and he also read some literature and history materials, many of which also mentioned this covenant.

Everyone knows that the dragon protects Lugnica, but they don't know why, and they don't know the specific content of the covenant.Similarly, Li Lin didn't even know that he knew too little about this world, and what was shown in the animation was just the tip of the iceberg.

According to his guess, maybe this covenant has something to do with the "sages" among humans back then. When the Envious Witch was sealed, it was the joint efforts of the dragon, the sages, and the sword masters. Both the sword masters and the sages were human. Li Lin is also not clear about the incident.

"The relationship between the kingdom and the dragon can be traced back hundreds of years ago. At that time, the king Fasailu Lugnica signed an alliance with the dragon Bolkenika. After that, the kingdom encountered several crises and was rescued by the dragon. prospered with its help."

Marcus continued: "Shenlong Polkenika is a trustworthy and righteous Lord Dragon God. Even though the ages have changed and time has passed, he still takes care of our country from the far side of the Great Falls."

Next, under the signal of Marcus, several candidates took out the badge of the dragon, and the orbs on the badge in their hands bloomed with light of different colors, and the power of the dragon was clearly seen.Whether it was the elders of the Wise Men's Association or the civil servants, military officers and knights below, they all sighed after seeing this scene.

Li Lin took a special look at Crusch, and sure enough, the latter's expression was a bit complicated.As a person with a "lion's heart", she has to rely on Shenlong's approval to obtain the right to compete, and she must be in a bad mood after thinking about it.

After this gaze stayed on her for a few seconds, Li Lin felt that someone was looking at him. Looking in that direction, it was a knight with cat ears and a face more female than male.Seeing Li Lin looking over, the latter gave him a kind smile.

Phyllis...

The "first knight" under Crusch's command has master-level attainments in water attribute magic, and is therefore given the title of "blue". (Red, green, and yellow are all Roswaal, and yin and yang are vacant.)

As a qualified master of women's clothing, Felice's loyalty to Crusch is beyond doubt.It's just that although his healing ability is extremely strong, his combat ability is weak, and he can't compete with Roswaal, let alone Sword Master Reinhardt.

It's just that Li Lin was thinking that he solved the forest monster incident, which meant that Natsuki Subaru did not dry up his "door" due to excessive use of magic power.In this way, he will not receive treatment from Phyllis as in the original plot, and the contact between the two parties can be said to be much less.

In this way, many things will change later.Because of the butterfly effect, although there is no major bifurcation, Li Lin can already feel some clues...

"As you can see, every candidate has the qualifications of the Dragon Priestess."

Seeing that the gemstones were emitting light, Marcus, the leader of the Knights, continued: "In this way, we will follow the instructions of Longli Stone..."

"...It's enough."

The girl who made the orb emit blue light interrupted the conversation, and the petite president of the Hexin Chamber of Commerce named Anna gave the reason for the interruption as a businessman: "I understand that Mr. Leader wants to finish the matter perfectly, but My time is precious. There is a saying in Kalaragi that 'time is as precious as money' - can you please sir save us each other's time and directly state the real purpose of summoning us?"

Chapter 026: The smell of gunpowder in the meeting

Anna's interruption caused Marcus, the head of the group, to frown slightly. When he turned his head to look, all the elders of the Sage Association also looked downcast.

The process of this kind of meeting is generally presented in a straightforward manner. Anna's businessman's thinking, which is full of time and money, must have brought her pursuit of efficiency to a climax, that is, she will not waste a single bit of time doing unnecessary things. matter of meaning.

Right now, in her opinion, Marcus' words are meaningless.It's just that political meetings are different from business negotiations. To some extent, the former is more formal than efficient.Therefore, many civil servants expressed their dissatisfaction. Just when an elder of the Sage Council was about to reprimand, another candidate expressed the same attitude.

"Makes sense."

The person who spoke was the heroic girl beside Anna, it was Crusch.After she echoed her words, the dissatisfaction of others increased even more.

"Master Crusch, as the head of the Karsten family, don't you say that a bit..."

"It's important to pay attention to etiquette, but it's undeniable that time is limited." Crusch retorted relentlessly to the civil servant, "I think the reason for calling us should be explained as soon as possible—although I can probably guess it."

"As expected of the head of Duke Karsten's family." The elder Mycrotov said, and Crusch said bluntly: "Well, is there a banquet? Although we will compete with each other in the future, we are not familiar with each other yet. As long as you drink together at the same table, you can know the character of the other party."

"No, not so."
