Tyrant Code

Since Sai Lun left with the team that came to pick him up, there was a temporary loss of one member in the team of the God Academy.

"...I remember, we have to go to the palace to meet the king in the afternoon, right?" Xiu Nuo whispered to East beside him when he saw Sai Lun being invited away.

East was silent for a moment, then nodded.

After they arrived at Windenburg, they had to go to the palace to meet the king, so they originally planned to let Salem go to meet the king together as a member of the representative team.

But now Sai Lun was picked up early, and their team has shrunk from ten to nine.

Maybe they are too sensitive... But the royal family of Archid separated him from the team of the God Academy from the first moment he set foot on Windenburg, so in the days to come, it is estimated that they will also be separated from them There are many barriers placed between Sailun, limiting their contact.

"In the final analysis, it was inappropriate to choose a foreigner as a member of the representative team from the very beginning." Jody frowned and glanced in the direction where Salem left, "Now we not only have to find ways to fight against our opponents, And beware of being stabbed in the back."

Xiu Nuo was a little puzzled: "What do you mean?"

Jody: "I just heard at the inn that Sai Lun's elder brother, the third prince of the Archid Empire, also participated in this league. He is one year older than Bi Lun, and he is a senior student at Shengfeng College——I Guess he'll ask Sairon for information about us."

"Hiss." Xiu Nuo subconsciously sucked in a breath.

If it was just a battle between the various colleges, Xiu Nuo felt that Sai Lun would not let the competition go because he favored his home country. After all, he has always been a proud person, how could he tolerate losing to others; With Sai Lun's own brother, the situation is different.

"...Although they are brothers, their relationship may not be that good." East analyzed, "After all, they are the royal family. For the prince, every brother is a competitor for the throne."

"Who knows." Jody said, "One of them is the third prince and the other is the fifth prince. There are several brothers and sisters on top of them. It is too early to talk about the succession of the throne."

Xiu Nuo heard Jody's implication: "So you don't believe that Sai Lun will come to us?"

Jody said a little anxiously: "It's not a question of whether I believe it or not. This contradiction has always existed in Sai Lun. Now we haven't even set foot in Windenburg, they have already sent someone to pick up Sai Lun Now—isn't this just showing their attitude? Since we dare to choose their prince as a team member, don't blame them for taking people away from our team!" Jody covered his head, "I Now I doubt the purpose of sending Sai Lun to the God Academy three years ago... Is today's situation already in their plan?"

"It's definitely because you're overthinking it." East said with a smile, "Sending Sai Lun to the God Academy for three years just for an imperial league? Such a plan is too unreliable."

Jody shook his head, admitted that he was thinking too much, and sighed: "That's right."

They drove so fast for several hours, and finally entered the capital of the Archid Empire, Windenburg.

The Archid Empire and the Celanka Empire have different styles.The architecture of Selanka is more elegant and elegant, the color of the streets is darker, and the designers are extremely rich and noble when it comes to various landscapes.On the other hand, the architectural style of the Archid Empire is more concise and tough. Although the colors of the bricks and tiles are bright, they are simple.

The palace looks grand and grand.But something special is that the top of the tower is made of gold, and it seems that some luminous magic has been applied, exuding a dazzling golden light from a distance.When getting off the carriage, Xiu Nuo was almost dazzled by those golden roofs.

"...It's really scary." Xiu Nuo rubbed his eyes and muttered to himself.

East and Jody also looked a little suffocated.

And Walton, a student of classics who has always been taciturn, said once in a while: "These golden domes have existed for more than 100 years."

Everyone turned their attention to him.

It was rare for Walton to be "the focus of the crowd". Holding his book in his arms, he coughed lightly and said, "These golden domes were inlaid by the Emperor of Glory more than 100 years ago."

Xiu Nuo: "...Huh? Isn't the Emperor of Glory the emperor of our Celanka Empire?"

Walton: "He is, but at that time the Archid Empire lost power in the battlefield, so it hoped to join the alliance formed by the Celanka Empire and several other countries. A vassal state of Lanka, but Emperor Arched refused. The Emperor of Glory was not too angry, but took a step back and agreed to join Archid—on the condition that all the glazed roofs of their palaces be replaced with golden roofs.”

In this way, the famous and radiant glazed roof of the Archid Palace turned into a gleaming golden color like an upstart.

Some people teased the Emperor of Radiance for his ghostly aesthetics, but others believed that he did it on purpose to humiliate the emperor of the Achide Empire and give him a blow.

Everyone present: "..."

This golden roof was actually ordered by my ancestors to be installed on it.

Mixed feelings.

At this moment, Goldo came over from the convoy ahead and joined the conversation of several teammates: "What's the matter, what are you all doing here?"

Several people briefly recounted the conversation just now.

Goldo after listening: "..."

How can this nouveau riche-like aesthetic be contagious?Julian is like this, and so is Claudius?

"Let's not stare at the golden roof." Goldo said with a smile, "we will meet the king in a moment—are you ready?"

"No." Xiu Nuo replied dryly, "I don't think I will ever be ready for that day."

"Calm down." East reassured, "If we win this time, we will definitely have to meet His Majesty the King of Selanka when we go back."

For this audience, they all changed into the uniform of the temple—the luxurious and enhanced version.After all, this is an international exchange. According to the previous practice, the seminary has rushed to make dresses for the students that are suitable for big occasions. The white background and silver patterns look sacred and noble, and there is no shame in it.At least a few of the team members who came from civilians felt that the moment when they put on this dress was already the moment when their appearance was the most brilliant.

But Goldo is different.

The flowing and mysterious dress gave him a different feeling than usual.Usually he is an elegant and indifferent nobleman, but now he has a little taste of a god-man above the clouds.

... In Goldo's own words, it just seems to be more deceptive.

They then chatted for a while, until Atrice appeared in front of them and asked them to prepare and follow the king's valet to the side hall of the palace to wait.Along with the king's entourage, there is also the ceremonial officer who receives foreign guests.The ceremonial officer cordially greeted them on their mood and health along the way.They entered the palace through the fountain in the garden square, and the string orchestra in court dress fanned out in two rows, playing soothing and melodious music to welcome them.

Goldo: "..."

It seems that this welcome posture is still very good.

But although they are from the temple, they are not the noble class of the Celanca Empire in the final analysis. It is a great honor for the king to meet them, let alone greet them with such a heartfelt gesture——

Gordon raised his eyebrows slightly, slowly smiled, and turned on the vigilance mode.

And a young violinist in the band who was playing the music happened to look up at this moment and saw his smile, he couldn't help being moved, his hands slipped, and he missed several notes.Fortunately, he was only a member of the band, and the noise he made was covered by his companion's piano sound, and he himself adjusted it back in a hurry.

Following the ceremonial officer into the resplendent inner hall, the king was sitting on a chair with scarlet cushions, with several personal guards standing beside him.

"I am not talented, and I will take the seminary team to extend my sincere greetings to His Majesty of the Archide Empire." Attica's greeting etiquette seemed to be as standard as measured with a ruler, and her pair of ice green eyes Apart from indifference, there is no enthusiasm and reverence in Li, but his tone is unmistakable, "I wish His Majesty the king well."

The king is a middle-aged man with thinning hair and a bloated figure, but the handsomeness of his youth can be seen from his facial features.He nodded, raised his hand with a smile, and asked Atrizia and the students who saluted behind him to stand up.

"Thank you for your hard work. You have traveled thousands of miles to participate in the Imperial League." The king held the scepter in his hand and tapped it on the ground beside him. "You can stay in the palace for a while and wait for the start of the league. Come here , bring up the gifts prepared for these talents-don’t refuse, we have prepared for every team that comes to participate in the competition.”

As he said that, the etiquette officer beside him came over holding a wooden tray covered with red flannel, and when he uncovered the flannel, there were several shiny golden badges.

"I hope you can wear it all the time when you are active in Windenburg." His Majesty the King said.

Everyone in the temple couldn't refuse, they could only nod their heads in agreement.

Fortunately, the badge is not ugly.

Atricia accepted the badge calmly, and several students from the seminary even accepted the badge with some excitement, and then pinned it on a more conspicuous place on their chests.

Finally, the etiquette officer also came to Gordo holding the wooden tray.

Gordon reached out and picked a badge at random from the wooden plate, anyway, they all looked exactly the same - but the moment his fingertips touched the badge, he couldn't help frowning.

But he pinned the golden badge on his chest without pausing, and then glanced at Attricia standing in front of him.

Soon, the badges will be distributed.The king chatted briefly with them, and then ordered them to be sent out of the palace.
