Chen Daolin and Pete had dinner together.
In terms of official position, the Minister of the Interior is not a core boss in the true sense.
Such official positions, although they are also called "ministers."
"Actually, to put it bluntly, he is a big butler who is in charge of the affairs of the palace.
But it is also a butler, an ordinary aristocratic butler and an emperor's butler, although they are both called butlers, but the meaning is naturally very different.
Being trusted by the emperor and entrusting all the affairs of the palace, Pete is naturally deeply trusted by His Majesty the Emperor, in terms of his identity, in Yanjing, no matter the bigwigs of all parties, they must have a good relationship with him, even in the face of the imperial prime minister, the minister of military affairs, the minister of finance, etc., these first-class bigwigs will also politely show respect to him.
So there is really no need for Pete to pat Chen Daolin's ass as a little magician, even if he is appreciated by the emperor.
After all, there are many people who the emperor appreciates, and before he really climbed to a high position, he really couldn't deserve a dish in front of the chief steward of the palace.
But this Pete was extremely cautious, and he could see that the Emperor's attitude towards this young magician was implicitly special and different.
This attitude does not seem to be simply "appreciation" in the ordinary sense.
"It's not just a simple sense of gratitude to Chen Daolin for his contribution to the assassination.
This attitude, in more sense, seems to be a kind of intimacy Yes, it's closeness Whether it is the Roland world or the real world where Chen Daolin lives, most of the emperors have always been lonely, and the so-called lonely people have always been like this in ancient and modern times.
As an empire, you may appreciate a lot of people in your life, talented, good-looking, capable, etc., etc., these are actually not too rare.
But if you are an emperor, you show obvious closeness to a person.
Then, such a person, even if he wants to be underdeveloped, I'm afraid it will be difficult Pete is very keenly aware of the fact that he has been messing around in the palace all his life, and Pete has a fairly accurate grasp of the emperor's surname, personality and emotional context.
He could see the Emperor's special attitude towards this year's light magician.
Since he clearly captured this, he would naturally make a move to turn it in.
This is called investing Pete thought very clearly: since this young magician has received such a different look from the emperor, then there is a high probability that he will rise to prominence in the future, in this case, if he wants to invest emotionally, he must sincerely befriend the other party as soon as possible before he has really made a fortune.
If you want to burn, you need to burn the cold stove Otherwise, the icing on the cake is more precious The two had dinner together, and Pete sincerely introduced many court rules and various matters to Chen Daolin.
For example, the court titles, court magicians and court titles that Chen Daolin didn't care much about.
Pete told Chen Daolin not to underestimate these two titles, such titles, even in the inner circle of the empire, have considerable gold content.
The first advantage of having a court title is that you can ask for an audience with His Majesty the Emperor at any time This is an extremely important privilege If you are an ordinary person without this title, even if you are a rich businessman, it is a fool's dream to see the emperor, if you run to the palace to ask for a meeting, the only end is to be beaten out by the Imperial Forest Army.
And with the title of court, he was regarded by the royal family as his own honored guest.
Anytime, anywhere, you can go to the palace to see Your Majesty.
Of course, whether Your Majesty sees you or not, it depends on Your Majesty's mood, or how important you are in Your Majesty's heart.
But no matter what, after all, a door has opened in front of you, a door that can go straight to the heavens When a person can have the opportunity to see the emperor from time to time, then this person's identity will naturally become expensive.
And the second benefit, if you have a court title, you will be included in the list of guests for the highest level of banquets held by the royal family during New Year's or festivals, or various major celebrations, and become a guest in the highest circle of the empire You can get together with all kinds of imperial magnates, military tycoons, dukes, marquises, counts, etc.
You will have the opportunity to come into contact with these people, and whether you can really blend in and become a part of high society is not to mention, at least you have the quickest opportunity in front of you Therefore, court titles and court titles have always been considered to be a very noble status.
With such a title, even in Yanjing, where the empire's first-class wealthy and powerful people gather, others will look up to you because of this, and no matter how you act, you will always get a lot of convenience.
Even if you invest in business, it will be much smoother than others.
Of course, Chen Daolin's title is like this, and the court knighthood of the court knight is also gone.
What surprised Pete the most was that the emperor actually gave him the title of a court magician.
Although the title of court magician itself is not an official magician level, the title of court magician has always been awarded only to some people with high magical strength.
And Chen Daolin's strength is a low-level magician, and he can actually be named a court mage, which can no longer be simply described as "exceptional", it is simply a bit subversive "That knighthood is fine."
After three rounds of drinking, Pete, the old fox, said a little heartfelt remark, and reminded Chen Daolin: "The title of this court mage is a bit eye-catching, but I am afraid that if it spreads, others may not be convinced."
You must know that Yanjing Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger, every year trying to flatter the royal family, trying to catch up with the royal family There are many magicians, but you have won the royal title, such a reward, although it is a gift from His Majesty, it will inevitably be hated."
Chen Daolin immediately understood what the other party meant, and said with a smile: "My mage's level has never been assessed by the Magic Union, and I have come to Yanjing this time to have an important thing, which is to go to the Magic Union." ” After a pause, he continued: "In addition to assessing the level of magicians, I will also go to the magic academy to audit in a while."
Hearing this, Pete smiled and looked at Chen Daolin, with a hint of strangeness in his eyes: "Listening to Master Darling, I'm afraid this matter is a little difficult." ” "Why" Chen Daolin was puzzled: "This matter of the audit, Governor Fritz has already arranged it, and I will enter the magic academy with Young Master Lucius" Pete waved his hand, interrupting Chen Daolin's words, and said, "That Young Master Lucius, it's naturally okay to go to the Academy of Magic to audit."
Now that you have the title of court mage, it is not appropriate to go to the magic academy to audit. ” Chen Daolin's heart moved, and he faintly understood what the other party meant.
Pete continued, "The title of Court Mage, although not considered an official mage rank, at least represents the royal recognition of your magical prowess.
Just imagine, a magician who is admired even by the royal family, with the title of court mage, if he goes to the magic academy to be an apprentice who listens, this matter will be spread, I am afraid that it will be very inappropriate, and it will lose the royal face.
So this matter, please consider it again. ” When Chen Daolin heard this, he solemnly saluted Pete and said slowly: "My lord's mention, I deeply remember thank you for telling me directly, otherwise, my young man is ignorant about doing things, and I don't know if I inadvertently commit a taboo." ” He sincerely asked: "Then I will push away the matter of this magic academy?"
"It seems a pity to push it off."
Pete frowned and thought for a moment, then said with a smile: "Master Darling is new to Yanjing, if you want to show your strengths, you must always show some connections.
Since you are a mage, it is also beneficial to go to the magic academy and make more friends.

In the name of auditing apprentices, it is naturally a share, but I think that as a court magician, it should be enough to go to the magic academy as a guest magic consultant teacher. ” Old, teacher Teacher at the Academy of Magic Chen Daolin's eyes widened and he couldn't help but open his mouth.
This seems to be a bit too big As a rookie who has only been learning magic for a few months, he only has the strength of a low-level magician, so he ran into the world's highest magic school, the Imperial Academy of Magic, as a magic teacher Go teach those magicians who have been immersed in magic for years "Of course, I don't want you to actually be a teacher and preach."
Pete saw Chen Daolin's face, he knew his concerns, smiled, and said: "The identity of a magic scholar must always be there, and arranging the identity of a research scholar in the magic academy can facilitate your cultivation in the magic academy.
There are a lot of rare and ancient books in the collection of the Academy of Magic, and it is also convenient for you to access. ” Since Pete has the heart to befriend Chen Daolin today, he might as well give a big favor at this moment, so he smiled and said: "As the head of the palace, I also have some personal friends with several court magicians, and there are some old things in this imperial magic academy, since your Excellency is also a member of the palace magicians, I will ask someone to arrange it tomorrow." ” Chen Daolin stood up again and saluted, and said sincerely: "Thank you very much."
At the end of dinner, Pete and Chen Daolin left together.
When Chen Daolin was sent to the carriage, Pete suddenly asked as if he was quite meaningful: "Master Darling, do you still live in Liszt's house in Yanjing?"
Chen Daolin nodded.
Pete glanced at Chen Daolin and said with a slight smile: "You are now a court mage, and you have the title of court knight, although you have some connections with the Liszt family, but if you continue to live in someone else's house, you will always ask people to gossip."
Liszt's family is wealthy, your Excellency is a young man, and others talk about it, but I am afraid that it is not very good, and it will inevitably hurt your reputation. ” Chen Daolin's heart moved, this was the Minister of Internal Affairs implicitly reminding himself not to get too close to the Liszt family He immediately remembered in his heart that the Liszt family seemed to be deeply involved in the dispute of the crown prince, and he was afraid that this matter would violate the emperor's taboo.
Pete's words, although they seem to be his kind reminder, but if you think about it carefully, it may not be the emperor's own meaning.
Chen Daolin's heart sank, and he smiled: "I have written down all the points of the adult."
Today, I am full of gratitude, and I hope that I will mention more in Yanjing in the future. ” As he spoke, Chen Dao got into the carriage and left after saluting.
Pete stood on the side of the road, watching Chen Daolin's carriage go away, and then the smile on his face gradually faded, and he said softly to himself: "This young man does things, but he is completely mediocre, I really don't understand what His Majesty likes about him." ” In Pete's heart, there are dragons and crouching tigers in places like Yanjing, even if His Majesty likes young and handsome people, but there are many leaders of the younger generation in the empire, and over the years, there are many young genius warriors or genius magicians in Yanjing, but no one has ever been so valued by the emperor.
It's just that this Chen Daolin, speaking and doing things, in the eyes of Pete, an old oilman, really doesn't have much to praise.
I really don't understand what His Majesty is so close to this guy Since he can't figure it out, Pete doesn't want to think about it, the emperor's mind has always been the most difficult to guess, the emperor values this person, naturally there is a reason for the emperor, he doesn't need to know the reason, he just needs to make sure that the emperor really values this person, and he will deal with him well, it is enough.
With such thoughts, Pete returned to the palace under the escort of the attendants and still had some things to do, he was actually very busy, and it was extremely rare to be able to spare half a day to socialize with Chen Daolin today.
Chen Daolin sat in the carriage, listening to the rolling wheels, his heart gradually relaxed, and he couldn't help but pull the window and blow the cool evening breeze.
He drank some wine tonight, and dealt with it with Pete, in fact, he was full of energy, but he was really tired at the moment, and he was blown by the wind this night, and the strength of the wine was faintly upsurged, so he couldn't help but open his clothes, lean on his seat, and let out a long sigh.
Tonight, he deliberately made a resigned, honest and ignorant appearance, in front of the Minister of Internal Affairs, he took all his edge, and never dared to show half a point.
In fact, Chen Dao really had a headache when he left.
The most unbridled time before was when I was in the frozen forest, and Du Weiwei was open to talking and arguing, and all the real-world knowledge he had learned, astronomy, geography, politics, and philosophy, all of which he had learned At that time, it was cool, and it also made the first nobleman of the empire eat it and take him as a confidant.
But now, Chen Daolin has suffered Knowing that there was such a result, Chen Daolin would definitely pretend to be a grandson all the way to the end of the cape in the face of that duchess, and he would never dare to show off at all It's good now, the duchess and the emperor both regard themselves as human figures, the duchess is just interested in recruiting, and the emperor directly regards himself as the key person in correcting Du Weiwei's surname orientation This kind of thing made Chen Daolin really cry and laugh and watch a lot, he is now a person who has no foundation, and he came to Yanjing to mix, if he dares to show off casually, if it is too high-profile, it is really the way to find death Low-key pretending to be forced is the king He believed that he and the Master Pete had dinner and drank and chatted tonight, and that the Chief Pitt would report this to the Emperor afterwards He has been appreciated by the emperor, if this Pete also praises himself like a flower, then the emperor will not be sure to eat this kind of hot potato, this impossible task, or get rid of it as soon as possible It is best for Pete to go back and tell the emperor that he is mediocre, and the lower the evaluation, the better, so as to dispel the emperor's expectations of himself.
I didn't want to go to Yanjing in one step, I honestly made some benefits in a low-key way, which is the right way.
With these thoughts in mind, the carriage headed all the way to the Liszt family's mansion.
Along the way, I walked through the streets of Yanjing, and encountered three checkpoints and multiple patrols along the way.
Well, the assassination of the emperor on the street has not yet passed, and the guards and security offices in Yanjing are still conducting a strict search.
However, Chen Daolin rode in the carriage in the palace, and when he encountered interrogation along the way, he didn't dare to stop his carriage and horses, just looking at those soldiers with serious expressions, Chen Daolin couldn't help but think of the assassination he encountered in the palace during the day today.
Which side of the people is so ferocious, in just three days, they made two assassinations, and after the first assassination failed, the second wave immediately came on the cusp of this storm But after Chen Dao thought about it, according to the current political situation in the Roland Empire that he knew, he couldn't seem to think of any organization that had such a reason to do such a thing.
At present, in the near term, the biggest core should be the issue of His Majesty the Emperor's Crown Prince, it seems that the Liszt family is deeply involved, and the opposite is also faintly the faint confrontation between the Liszt family and the Tulip family.
However, what is the purpose of the assassination of the current emperor?
But if it weren't for the matter of the crown prince, then assassinate the emperor The current Roland Empire, it seems that there is no such conflict that will point the contradiction directly at the emperor.
Chen Daolin instinctively felt a hint of jealousy of this kind of thing, and his best way was to hide as far away as possible.
Brother is just a little magician, he doesn't have great ability, and he doesn't want to wade into this kind of troubled water.
I just want to do what I want to do in Yanjing in a low-key way, and just make some benefits in a low-key way.
No matter what kind of emperor and crown prince you are, the wealthy and powerful, my Darling brother must not be interested.
With these thoughts in mind, the carriage sent Chen Daolin to the front of the Liszt family's house.
The old butler Frey had already led someone to wait at the door, and Frey seemed to breathe a long sigh of relief when the carriage in the palace arrived.
The old butler walked over in person, waited for the carriage to be stable, pulled the door to help Chen Daolin get out of the car, and then lowered his voice and said, "Master Darling came back so late, we have been waiting for a day."
It made us worry about it, but fortunately, Lord Pete Statham sent someone to inform him, saying that he had invited you to dinner. ” Chen Daolin smiled and didn't say anything.
Frey then glanced at the man behind him, and the steward of the Liszt family walked up and gave some gift money to the court attendants and guards who drove and followed him.
Chen Daolin followed Frey into the mansion, and Frey saw that there was no one behind him, so he whispered to Chen Daolin: "The master is in the palace today, everything can go well."
Chen Daolin's heart moved, and his heart immediately woke up, the time of the assassination in the garden, I am afraid that it cannot be mentioned Although the emperor and Pete did not warn themselves to seal their mouths, but this kind of thing, if he rashly talked about it, it would be really brainless He shook his head and said with a smile, "Your Majesty has given me the titles of Court Mage and Sir. ” Frey immediately bowed: "Congratulations, master." ” "Two court titles."
Chen Daolin waved his hand: "It's not a big deal." ” Frey smiled and said, "The lord is young, he won the palace title when he was over twenty years old, and he is already extremely prominent in Yanjing.
Even if it's a young talent from another family, such as the most recent general, General Panin, when he won the title of court warrior, he was a little older than you are now. ” Chen Daolin smiled, glanced at Frey meaningfully, and suddenly said, "The matter of entering the palace to meet His Majesty has delayed me for two days.
I haven't done anything about the Magic Guild yet.

It's not good to delay this matter any longer, tomorrow morning, you arrange to get off the carriage, and I will go to the Magic Guild. ” Frey responded and sent Chen Daolin all the way back to the courtyard where he lived.
When Chen Daolin walked into the courtyard, he suddenly turned around and glanced at Frey, his face was a little strange, looking at Frey's eyes, he asked coldly: "Patriarch He said to come back" Frey was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The patriarch acts, where do we dare to ask."
If the patriarch comes back, he will always send someone to inform him in advance, but as for the specific day, it is impossible to say.
Allow three or five days, maybe three or five months" Chen Daolin listened and laughed: "Since this is the case, I won't stay and wait to say goodbye to his old man, I will move out with someone tomorrow." ” Frey was stunned for a moment, frowned, looked at Chen Daolin, and said in a deep voice: "Master, haven't you and I already discussed this question, Master, if you are determined to do this, it will embarrass me, I am afraid that if I can't say it, I will have to do something that annoys the master." ” "Hahaha, I know that your Liszt family is rich and rich."
Chen Daolin smiled and said, "Wherever I move in, you will buy the house, and then send a bunch of people to serve me."
However, I encountered an incident today that helped me solve this problem.
In Yanjing, there is always a place that your Liszt family can't buy or enter. ” "That's nature."
Frey smiled: "Sir, if you can live in the palace, or move into the barracks, or enter the Temple of Light, the villain will not be able to reach him." ” "You don't have to go to these places."
Chen Daolin smiled lightly: "I have another place to go now." ” "Where" Frey still smiled confidently.
"Academy of Magic."
Chen Daolin smiled and said the answer: "No matter how rich the Liszt family is, it is impossible to buy this magic academy. ” Frey was really stunned, but then frowned and said, "Don't forget, master, you just went with Young Master Lucius to audit, and the apprentice who audited is not qualified to live in the academy."
"Naturally, the apprentice is not qualified."
Chen Daolin smiled: "Fortunately, I asked at dinner just today, if you become a registered magician in the Academy of Magic, you can live in the academy." ” Saying that, Chen Daolin spread his hands and said with a smile: "Look, the title of a court magician is still quite useful, isn't it?"
With that, he smiled softly, turned around and strode into the courtyard
