Chapter 132 [The Prince's Amazing Request!
Because previous years have always been very brief. Dewey is not familiar with the other noblemen of the Emperor. Though he was born of a great family, he was almost always locked away at home because of his “reputation” as a child. This phenomenon is rare in the aristocratic circle, and even the daughters of the Homen have one or two close friends.
And Dewey, never attended any of the noble children's parties, never mixed up in that circle. The power of the aristocratic upstream circle, or the hook-and-heart, which family is the ally, which family is the political enemy, these things Dewey never asks, and naturally no one will tell this idiot young master who lives deep in the house. So I don't even recognize the young prince in front of me, even his name seems strange.
But His Highness the Imperial Highness seems a little too young, doesn't he?
His Majesty Augustine VI, the current Emperor of the Empire, is a guy who has been somewhat more productive in recent generations. Though the old man was seen by many ministers as a typical "jolly good work” guy. But I have to say, he's pretty good compared to all the blackouts in history.
Except, I'm afraid His Majesty Augustine VI is over seventy this year. The old man, who has done a great job, has become more and more grumpy and ridiculous in recent years. As he got older, he also gradually showed some dizziness. Unfortunately, as long as he stays alive for a day, the throne still belongs to this seventies-year-old grumpy old man.
At this age... this guy in front of him, who is at most 20 years old, is the son of that 70-year-old emperor?
It has to be said that Dewey lived a very closed life as a child after all. Since childhood, Dewey wanted to get rid of the troubled circle of power, only wanted to live a free beetle life, too little understanding of the imperial circle of power.
This is Augustine, the youngest son of His Majesty the current Emperor Augustine VI. The old emperor is now seventy-five years old and has lived a glorious life. Under his rule, the empire has made numerous expeditions to the South China Ocean, opening up countless maritime frontiers - although later expeditions have been transformed into a glorious act of glorious force of great joy, often without even recovering the military expenditures, while the triumph ceremony is greater than once.
The eldest son of His Majesty the Emperor, now 52 years old, was originally designated Crown Prince. Then His Majesty the Emperor sighed and gave birth to nine more daughters. Angering Augustine VI, who hopes to have a son again, even gave several of his own princesses himself - an emperor who killed his own woman because he couldn't have a son, has never existed in the history of the Roland Empire. And just in his fifties, the old emperor, who was so dedicated to his son, finally gave birth to this “Chen” prince. Old and needy, the old emperor who finally got what he wanted, for more than 20 years, almost loved his youngest son!
Even royal sons, men, have learned the martial arts of the Augustine family since childhood. This deviant Prince Chen has no intention of studying martial arts, but is extremely interested in magic - a deviation from tradition that has the permission of the old emperor. Even let a great magician in the court teach this prince Tatsune himself!
Even legend has it that in previous years, at the Old Emperor's 70th birthday dinner, the Old Emperor used to show the meaning of wanting to reign Crown Prince, but at that time it was objected to by many ministers, so it was barely suppressed...
Of course, Dewey doesn't know about these things at the moment. Dewey, who had been free from these things since childhood, did not even know the whereabouts of His Highness Prince Chen in front of him.
Nevertheless, Dewey reacted quickly, listening to each other's introduction, and immediately owed himself a standard aristocratic courtesy. But the handsome prince smiled and held on to Dewey, smiling: "Don't be so polite, Lord Dewey... don't forget, you are a Bachelor of Magic. Wizards don't have to salute nobles, even royalty. ”
Meet a prince inside the Magic Union and have to confuse Dewey. The relationship between the royal family and the magic union is not very good. At least Dewey knows something about that. Within the Empire, the Orthodox ruling group represented by the Royal Family, the religious group represented by the Temple, and the magician power represented by the Magic Union have been the three forces that barely interact with each other.
Without realizing Dewey's doubts, Prince Chen smiled lightly and even gently pulled La Dewey, laughing: “Lord Dewey, I've been curious about you for a long time. Well, originally I just heard that Gabriel the Rollins kid was a genius. But lately, your name has often been mentioned in my ear. It is a great honor to see you here today. I wonder if I would be honored to invite you, Your Honor, a magician to dinner? ”
Hmm?
Dewey carefully measured this strange prince.
“Oh, forgive me for taking the liberty of inviting.” Prince Chen's smile is still so gentle, in fact, this kind of invitation between nobles is really a bit presumptuous, in the aristocratic circle, let alone invite each other to dinner, even if invite each other to have a lunch tea, at least one day in advance, but the style of Prince Chen is impeccable, even when apologizing, the smile on his face is like a spring breeze: “I have only been interested in the magical field since childhood, and you, the noble children of Emperor Du, have never come out of a magician, and still a young genius magician like you. ”
Such an invitation from His Highness the Crown Prince is not a good refusal. Dewey thought about it and revealed a smile: "It's an honor. ”
•
When Prince Duwei and Prince Chen walked out of the magic union side by side, waiting for the face of the guard of the Alpha outside, at that moment, it immediately became extremely ugly! But the guard's ugly face just passed away, and he came up and did a standard samurai gift to Prince Chen.
“Oh, Lord Alpha Samurai.” Prince Chen seems a little surprised: "I actually saw you here. Did you personally accompany Dewey here? I haven't seen you out much lately. ”
After a short pause, Prince Chen smiled softly: “I was just about to talk to Dewey about something. Please go back and tell the Count. ”
Alpha couldn't say anything, just nodded silently.
With Dewey beside him, he had no idea what was going on in the Emperor's capital, but at this moment, looking at the unnatural flash on the face of the Alpha Guard's long face, he immediately guessed a point: as if the Alpha Guard Chief was very cynical to Prince Chen?
Almost silently, a beautifully decorated carriage slowly walked to several people. Outside the carriage's shed, it was set in a thin layer of pure gold, and in the sun it looked golden. And the wheel hubs of the carriage, in Dewey's view, are made of the finest stainless steel, and around the shed are erected pillars of dead roots engraved with gorgeous thorns and vines, with several blue jewels.
The horses pulling the car, from Dewey's perspective, are all classy horses. Such horses, even if they are no worse than those of their own Rollin family, are used by Prince Chen to pull the car... it is a waste.
Most surprisingly, Dewey arranged a miniature wind magic array with some finely polished magic crystals around the side of the carriage!
This magic array cleverly relieves the weight of the wagon with the help of wind, allowing the wagon to drastically reduce turbulence and increase speed as it drives.
At the same time, this carriage is the style of the most popular convertible carriage in Teturi.
At the cost of this carriage alone, I'm afraid you can buy all of Dewey's business in the Rollin Plains now!
Luxury! It's not just luxury!
Of course, Dewey doesn't know yet that the beautiful sculptures on the carriage are handwritten by a famous artist from Emperor Du, and are simply those gorgeous and untrue sculptures worth tens of thousands of gold coins!
Quietly, quietly, not knowing when, around where Prince Duwei and Chen stood, silently appeared four thin people. The robes worn by the four men were clearly magicians' identities, but their robes were different from any magician's robe in the Magic Union. The bright red magician's robes, red as rose flower juice, on the pointed high hat on the top of their heads, carried a totem of thorny flowers.
Court Magician?
Dewey immediately thought of the legend that a small batch of animals in the palace, dating from the Aragon era, inherited from internal generations, were loyal only to the Royal Palace Magicians. These four guys are obviously court magicians!
It's just that these four guys are so cold in their eyes that even Dewey couldn't help but feel cold when his sharp eyes swept over! Especially when the eyes of these four guys sweep past the magicians in the magic union far around them, they all carry an indescribable grudge and disdain.
“Your Highness, please get in the carriage. ”
A loud voice, a rider in front of a carriage. Dewey, I'm afraid this driver is not an easy character! This guy is thin and tall, wears a grey cotton cloth, but is the style of a court waiter. His eyes are deep and steady. Despite the presence of several court magicians around him and samurai strongmen like Alpha, his temperament is still faint. From his hidden under thin clothes, and his lean body seems to have some irreconcilable and robust arm contours, I'm afraid he's also a master in the court!
Indeed, when Alpha saw the driver, he suddenly smiled bitterly: "When did you become a driver, Lord Chick? ”
The driver named Chick was apparently an elder acquaintance of the Alpha Guardian. He glanced coldly at Alpha and blurted: “I made a mistake and His Highness punished me as a driver for a month. It's been a long time since you, Lord Alpha, seemed to be two years from the previous year, right? ”
The eyes of the two people crossed, immediately as if a series of sparks had flashed in the air!
I'm afraid they still have a little grudge.
Dewey conceived in his heart.
The atmosphere seemed a little condensed for a while, but Prince Chen immediately laughed perfectly: "Well, it's late, Lord Dewey, please get in the carriage. ”
That Chick Mav just took his eyes back, lowered his head, and stopped talking.
Dewey frowned herself. As Prince Chen boarded the carriage, the carriage slowly drove. Dewey looked back at the alpha standing in place, but seemed to see a glimmer in Alpha's eyes!
•
Count's Mansion.
Count Raymond's study.
“Did His Highness really show up at the Magician's Guild? Took Dewey?” The Earl frowned, his eyes filled with haze.
“Yes.” Alpha nodded: “I doubt it's an accident. And... I saw that Chick actually acted as His Royal Highness's marv. ”
“Chick? Marv?” The Count laughed. “The same court samurai Chick who beat you to death two years ago? Humph... Looks like the situation is a bit bad. His Royal Highness has been stuck for many years. Do you want to show your fangs now? ”
Alpha shook his head: "Lord Count, I am worried about one thing… Chick is a samurai of the court and belongs to the inner court! The inner court is a mysterious force in the royal family! Now it seems that Chick actually works for Prince Chen... I fear that His Majesty has become confused and handed over the inner court to Prince Chen! Moreover, even more worrisome is that Chick is a very good samurai in the inner court, but he seems to be obedient to Prince Chen, I am afraid that Prince Chen has successfully controlled the power of the inner court! This thing...”
“This is certainly not good for us.” The Count sighed, as if he were instantly old, shaking his head and grinning: “Prince Chen's wisdom far outweighed His Royal Highness... he had a good relationship with the magicians of the court since he was a child. Now it seems that His Majesty not only handed over the court magicians to him, but even the inner court to him... His Royal Highness is in a bad situation. Well... let's see, His Royal Highness appeared in the Magic Union... Hmm, did he go for that too? Jacob Doug, this old fox, what's the idea? Later, I gave my regards to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and now I have an open relationship with His Royal Highness Chen..."
“I'm afraid it's not good for us.” Alpha shook his head: “The key is... His Royal Highness took Young Master Dewey... Lord Count, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what would you think if you heard this news? Young Master Dewey is your son. Before returning to Emperor Du, he hung up with the Magic Union. Now... I'm seeing His Highness again... and I'm afraid you're in a bit of an awkward situation. ”
Count Raymond stood up, and suddenly he straightened his waist bar. The great shore appeared to have a renewed momentum, as if at this moment, this already somewhat old imperial army general showed the pride of the commanding fleet in the sea!
“Humph! Whatever thoughts His Royal Highness may have, so what! Now he's got more chips, but he's got less chips to play in the end! Without the support of our Rollins, what would he fight with Prince Chen? The military is here, and now Ken's on his side, only mine. Everyone else is watching. Without me, Raymond, out of the Emperor, he can't even move a soldier! ”
Alpha nodded his face with a slight expression of relief, but then the loyal chief guard whispered: “I'm not worried about the Crown Prince... what's most headache now is what His Majesty the Emperor meant! Your Majesty has been silent lately, but seems to let go of his two sons... and, my lord, be careful, I'm afraid His Majesty will do something for you! After all... Historically, before the passing of His Majesty the Emperor, everyone would suppress a group of heavy military ministers and pave the way for a stable situation for their successors! Now, I'm afraid His Majesty will target us. ”
Count Raymond pressed his hand on the table and listened to Alpha. He was silent. After half a day, he smiled slightly: “Suppress it, it is the practice of the past generations, as long as we survive this level, and later the Crown Prince will succeed him, he will have to rely on us, the Rollins! Humph... Besides, if His Majesty really wants to open the Rollins, weigh them well! ”
He suddenly patted on the table, a faint golden fight flashed past him and heard a crisp crack, the thick desk suddenly halved!

The carriage gradually drove towards the Emperor's exterior. When leaving the Emperor's gate, the city guard army saw Prince Chen's carriage far away and immediately cleared the road.
On the carriage, in the face of Dewey's doubts, Prince Chen smiled slightly: “What other fun is there in Emperor Du? Hmm, military people staring, my brother's people staring, my father's staring... where's the fun? Lord Dewey, I'm taking you to an interesting place outside the city, and I'm sure you'll love it there. ”
Dewey nodded and didn't answer in the direction of less talking and less making mistakes.
“That's right.” Prince Chen suddenly seemed to think of something, looking at Dewey and laughing: “I heard you made something that could fly on the Rollin Plains... that thing is called a hot balloon, right?” If Prince Chen stared deeply at Dewey for a while, he said softly, “That's a good thing! If it is used to transport the army, quietly carry 2,000 elites from various places to Tidu, I'm afraid all the gods are unaware of the ghosts, even if the city guard forces are more defensive, they can't always defend against the sky. ”
Dewey's in shock!
Sneaking troops into the Empire? That's heartfelt! Why is this prince squeezing himself with such heartfelt words?
Dewey thought about it, "Your Highness, it's just a little thing, and I only have a dozen of those hot balloons in my hand right now, and it's very troublesome, and I have very limited shipping power. Just a little cargo. If the army is to be transported, the soldier's weight plus armored weapons, let alone a thousand or two, is the limit. You're kidding. ”
“Oh…”
Prince Chen nodded as if by accident, then turned around and looked at the view on both sides of the road.
The Emperor is situated on the central plain of the Roland continent, along with the Grand Canal near the evening, looking at the plains, villages, farms on both sides of the wide road, at this point close to summer, wild trees have stained a thick layer of green...
Suddenly, Prince Chen turned his head and looked closely at Dewey:
“What if... what if I asked you to do something for me? Like... the shipper? ”
Dewey was in shock...
