Chapter 155 Advent "Your Majesty is here," one of the eunuchs sang.
The military officials in the main hall immediately fell silent, and all the people stood still in unison, their right hands touching their chests, bowing slightly, and bowing forward.
Jedi owed his ass, and quietly looked up, only to see a stunning girl in a gorgeous palace costume and a crown striding towards the hall with very manly steps, dragging a snow-white shawl that was fifteen meters long behind her, and eight noblewomen on duty on each side carried skirts, panting and trotting to follow.
There are no ordinary maids and attendants around the emperor, generally speaking, the royal family basically wants the nobles to serve, from meals to bathing and changing, summoning and summoning, these close service jobs are mostly done by nobles, that is to say, there are no civilian servants around the empress, her servants are nobles, even if they are civilians, they are very popular with the emperor to stay by his side and wait, and they will be awarded a title first.
"This is Cleo's cousin, the Empress of the Tagore Empire today," Jedi looked curiously at the king of the world's oldest empire.
"Alas" the empress screamed, staggered forward, almost lying on the ground, the civil and military officials brushed the ground and raised their heads, only to see the empress frowning, holding her skirt, stamping her feet angrily, and everyone brushed the ground and lowered their heads.
The Empress continued to walk forward with an impatient face, and when the fifteen-meter-long drag slipped across the red carpet, Jedi couldn't help but look at the place where the Empress almost fell There were two things stuck in it, and they were nailed deep into the carpet, which were two high heels.
The empress sat down on the throne, and the sixteen noblewomen did not care about the sweat on their faces, and hurriedly ran before and after a long time, dressed her properly, and placed her shawl properly, before one of the noblewomen of the highest rank walked to the front of the steps and shouted: "Your Excellency, please be exempt" The officials straightened up and turned to the direction of the empress, and then the Grand Duke of Oberstein stepped forward and began to congratulate the empress on her recovery from her illness and the deliberations of the court.
When he had finished speaking, the Duke of Teutton, who was standing on the other side, also stood up and expressed his joy and joy on behalf of the courtiers.
Jedi stood behind him, and he couldn't see the appearance of the Duke of Teutton, only his tall man, and his back was a little rickety, but despite this, he stood out from the crowd, and if he wasn't a hunchback, he would have to be more than two meters tall.
There are two grand dukes and three ministers in the empire, and there is not much backlog of daily affairs, plus this is the first day of the dynasty after the empress recovers from illness, and some officials have various considerations, so it is just a symbolic report of some small things, and the ministers are very bored to listen to.
Jedi also saw that the empress's jaw sitting on the throne often sank for no reason, and then rose up again, obviously drowsy, and he couldn't help but secretly wonder in his heart, because judging from the situation described by Cleo, this empress is very diligent, especially since she was a child, she has been cultivated by the prince since she was a child, and pays more attention to the etiquette of kings "Your Majesty, yesterday there was an edict from the Kingdom of Southern Apia Jedi Sakr to enter Beijing, and there was a conflict with the city defense army and the magistrate at the gate of the city, the city defense officer Yun Qi slapped the galloping horse, and Jedi Sakel, who was ordered to enter Beijing, beat General Yun Qi all over the body, if it wasn't for Lord Oscar who happened to pass by, the situation would have been more serious, please Your Majesty find out the situation and punish him severely."
It was someone from the Oberstein faction who spoke, and he clearly accused Jedi, but as long as the empress investigated, the unauthorized taxation of the city defense and security departments would be exposed, and even if they would not be severely punished, as long as this tax item was removed, it would be regarded as a tax discouragement for them.
The drowsy queen suddenly heard the key words "conflict" and "fight", and suddenly became energetic, and she straightened her waist and said: "Yes, you can tell me more details, what kind of fight General Yunqi has become?"
The magistrate was stunned and said, "Well, when I sent him home, his mother didn't recognize him anymore."
The empress snapped on the armrest, and the magistrate was still angry with the empress, and looked at it, but saw the empress's eyebrows fluttering, this kind of expression really shouldn't appear on her face, and she didn't know how to take it for a while.
"Your Majesty, I don't know who recommended this person to Your Majesty, and specially summoned him to Jingchen I heard that there was a brawl in the Champs area yesterday, a hotel was drunk and made trouble, refused to pay the bill, and injured many people in the store, and the person who made the trouble was Jedi Sack and one of his friends, how can such a person with no character and no virtue serve in the empire."
This person was a man from the Duke of Teuton, and he avoided the important and trivialized, in order to take the opportunity to attract everyone's attention from the collection of taxes in the city, but the black shop was obviously dead seven or eight people, but he did not dare to tell the truth, otherwise if he really issued an edict to find out, he might be involved in it.
The more the empress listened, the more interested she became: This guy named Jedi Saker is simply causing trouble everywhere, it's too much to my appetite, but it's a bit too tasteless to drink and not give money, it's quite a big man, how can you slam the door like this As she listened with relish, Miss Filian's father, an official with a gloomy face, paced out: "Your Majesty, this person is too much to use.
First in Norman and then in Appia, he was capricious and unloyal; This person is also entangled with the princess of the dead country of Cloya and the new widowed queen of Apia, and he is romantic.
Just outside the palace, he actually gambled on a city to tempt a knight to abandon his girlfriend, paradoxical and morally corrupt" The empress interrupted him with great interest: "So he is not stingy, he actually took out a city as a bet, how did the knight choose whether to choose his girlfriend or the city?"
"This" the official said with a gloomy face: "That knight forgot his righteousness when he saw profit, and he actually agreed, how can His Majesty reuse such a tempting person who is tempting to evil?"
The empress disagreed, and said: "I think it's very good, if you don't use this method, how can you know that the knight is hypocritical?
Speaking of which, this couple is divided or united, and has nothing to do with Jedi Saker, he is willing to take out a fief as a bet, so bold and generous, I really want to meet him, Jedi Sachael is here?"
The nobleman on duty who guided Jedi into the palace immediately came out and said, "Your Majesty, Jedi Saqr has arrived."
"Oh," the empress said with novelty in her eyes, "Hurry up and tell him to come and see me."
Jedi Saker coughed, walked on the red carpet in front of everyone, and then walked forward proudly, walking three meters away from the steps in front of the throne, Jedi touched his chest with one hand and knelt down on one knee: "Little people Jedi Saqr, see Her Majesty the Empress" "Ahh Jedi looked up blankly and said, "What did Your Majesty say?"
As soon as he looked up, he saw Queen Tracy's head staring at him with half of her head half, her eyebrows half frowned, and she said to herself: "It's not you, it should be you, it must be you, it's you, it's you."
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and all the nobles were stunned by the empress's performance, and the empress's face showed an expression of surprise and joy, and she looked at Jedi's expression like a young girl with a spring when she saw her long-lost lover.
The Duke's face suddenly became extremely ugly, although he had already decided to rebel in secret, but everyone knew that the empress would become his daughter-in-law, and now the empress looked at another man, or a man with a romantic name, showing such an expression, how could he not feel embarrassed "When did this nasty embryo who specializes in seducing upper-class women get acquainted with the Empress, I don't know at all," the Duke of Teutonic said tightly with his two thick eyebrows.
In fact, when Lord Ningguo saw Jedi, it was like an old friend who had been reunited after a long absence, after all, this was the only life that had accompanied her in her lonely and lonely days, and Jedi's voice was simply unforgettable to her.
Through the divine power of the creator god as a bond, through this invisible web, friendship was unconsciously planted in her heart.
Surprised to meet here, her original complaint that she had sworn to torture Jedi was all out of surprise because of surprise, and there was only endless joy in her heart.
But if a girl shows such an expression, how can others think of friendship Among the ministers present, only Duke Oberstein nodded slightly, with an approving look in his eyes: "The empress's trick is wonderful, just mix the water, this look is made, causing everyone to think about the love between men and women, and no one will suspect that Jedi has joined forces with the Oberstein family early."
After the empress recovered from a serious illness, her mind seemed to have become more alert. ” "You're Jedi Saker, Jedi Saker is you," the Empress asked in surprise.
"Yes, it's Xiaomin, Your Majesty knows me Oh no, Your Majesty has heard of Xiaomin's name" When Jedi asked, the empress suddenly came to her senses, the angel was in the world, and her strength was about to be greatly reduced, and she forced her into the divine power enchantment, so her vitality was greatly damaged, and before she found her battle angel equipment, the top powerhouse of the human race may not be worse than her, and now she can't reveal her identity.
Thinking of this, the empress suppressed the joy in her heart, glanced at Jedi, slowly sat back on the throne, and said with a pretentious smile: "Of course I have heard of it, I have heard of it a long time ago, and I am very happy to see you here today." ” The Teutonic Duke's face became even more ugly, and some of his courtiers began to whisper.
The empress didn't care about their faces, but smiled and said to Jiedi: "I summoned you to Beijing, and you are willing to come to the edict, I am very happy."
In the future, you will stay here and don't leave, well, what kind of official position will you be rewarded."
She crossed Erlang's legs, tapped one hand on the back of the chair, and after a moment of silence, she didn't think of a suitable official position, so she asked Jedi: "Hey, what kind of official do you want to be, just tell me" This time the bottom suddenly exploded, even if Jedi Saker was famous in the south, he was not a great figure in the empire, not to mention that he had just arrived, how could he ask for an official position with him Lord William, one of the three prime ministers, was about to step forward to admonish, when the empress suddenly clapped her hands and said, "Yes, you will be my chief of palace guard, how about this?"
When she said this, the two archdukes, Teutonic and Oberstein, couldn't help but be stunned at the same time.
"The chief of the palace guard is inseparable from the empress, a figure who comes and goes in and out of the inner palace at will, such a notorious wanderer, who hooks up with Princess Cloya and Queen Apia and is not clear, let him lead the Praetorian Guard, and follow the empress by his side, where is the face of my Teutonic family Besides, all the officials who served in the palace were nobles, and he had just entered Beijing, so should he be rewarded with a knighthood" The Duke of Teutoni was furious, and immediately bent down and saluted: "Your Majesty, I thought it would be absolutely impossible" At the same time, Duke Oberstan also flashed out and said to the empress: "Your Majesty, you must be a nobleman to serve in the palace.
Among the nobles, they must have served in the army for more than three years before they can join the Praetorian Guard.
Although there is a precedent for those who are specially promoted, there has never been a direct promotion to the elder of the guard, and the empress is asked to think twice. ” His goal was to get Jedi to plug into the Teutonic city defenses, to draw their energy and buy time for himself, which would be of little use if Jedi were to serve in the palace.
It was rare for the Duke of Teutoni to see that the Duke of Oberstein agreed with him, and hurriedly echoed: "Your Majesty, what the Grand Duke of Oberstein said is extremely true, Jeti Saker has just entered the capital and has not undergone training, and the position of chief of the palace guard is very important, and it is very inappropriate for him to take over."

The empress glared at a pair of sparkling eyes and asked, "I trust him to be so verbose, then according to you, how to arrange?"
The Duke of Teutonic said proudly: "I have not been trained in my emperor, how to take on such a heavy responsibility depends on the old minister's opinion" The empress patted the handrail and said, "Okay, then let's go to the army to experience the city defense, there is a vacancy in the army."
Duke Oberstein immediately said: "The post of deputy general of the Imperial City Defense Corps has been vacant for a long time, and His Majesty intends to reuse Jedi Saqr to let him go to the city defense army to have some training. ” The Duke of Teutonic straightened up and glanced at Oberstein coldly: "He knows that my son is the chief general of the city defense army and the paladin of the Holy Sect of Light, this Jedi Sakr has a grudge against the Holy Sect of Light as early as the Kingdom of Apia, and after entering the city, he has clashed with my Teutonic family one after another, and they are on the same page, he suggested that Jedi Sakr be arranged in our army, this is intentional."
The Duke of Teutonic wondered: "Could Jedi Sakr be a nail planted by the old fox Oberstein next to me?"
After thinking about it, he dispelled this doubt again: "No, this Jedi is quite powerful in the south, and if Oberstein has the heart to unite with him, he will do his best to keep him safe."
It is not easy to put him single-handedly in the city defense army that I have painstakingly managed for many years, and it is not easy to deal with him."
When the Duke of Teuton thought of this, a fierce look flashed in his eyes.
Rus' Empire, the holy mountain of Athos, at the bottom of Lake Thorun.
At the bottom of Lake Thorun is the top of the sacred mountain of Athos.
This is the highest level of the Temple of the Holy Mountain of Athos, a large flat underground space, the upper side is transparent, it is not known whether it is artificial or natural.
The dome is a transparent crystal organization, standing on the temple and looking up, the lake water is clear and blue, aquatic plants, swimming fish, impressively visible.
The water of the sacred lake is extremely clear, and it can be seen within ten meters, so the sunlight shines through the lake without obstruction, but because of the rippling waves on the lake, the reflected sunlight swayes, making people feel like heaven and earth here.
Due to the extremely high mountain of Athos, the highest cave on the top of this mountain is as cold as winter, and the water temperature of the lake at the top of the cave is also extremely low, and there is always a faint mist wafting in the cave.
In the very center of the cave, there are several stone beds, each of which houses a man.
They have a well-toned body and perfectly proportioned body, but their complexion is pale and lifeless.
On the side, there were three people standing in the white mist, the first one was thin and old, with old age spots on his face, his eyes were half-squinted, as if he was sleeping, as if he had no sense of the cold here.
If the human body on the stone bed was lifeless, he looked like a dried corpse that had been dead for ten years.
However, no one dared to despise this old man who seemed to be blown down by a gust of wind, because he controlled the most powerful force in the world, and he was the Pope of the Holy Sect of Light.
Behind him, Abbott and the Bishop of Mosul stood, both respectful, but not to the Pope in front of him, but to the corpses lying on the stone beds.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, the Pope still squinted, but his rickety body slowly straightened up.
The lake above them began to spin sharply, and the flickering of the sun began to become stronger, and Abbott and the Bishop of Mosul looked up for only a moment, and then they were dizzy and almost vomited, and they hurriedly lowered their heads.
Although they lowered their heads, they could still feel the movement of the dome through the changes in the light in the cave, and the cave gradually became brighter, and the sunlight from the dome through the lake gradually condensed into two incomparably blazing lights.
At this moment, the cave was like the scorching sun jumping out of the sea, and it lit up in an instant.
Then the blazing beam disappeared, and two translucent figures appeared where the beam disappeared.
"Here they are," a flash of color flashed in the Pope's slightly narrowed eyes
