The shadows of the old world, the tides of the new era. Light and darkness, chaos and dawn... arise alternately in a world of machinery and witchcraft!
But what does this have to do with me, ...
Today, Ayla also changed into a set of clothes unique to the noble girls of Adak, which was a bit like the princess dress of Seria.
The clothing of the desert people is more colorful and bold. This outfit that highlights her figure and has a unique temperament is very consistent with her personality. Her hair is also tied up in a special bun, revealing her entire face and neck.
He came to visit as the leader of the Sun Crown wizards, so Ayla also prepared a longer golden staff for herself and wore a necklace around her neck...which was the necklace that she found the other person wearing in the portrait in the small town of Thelmian more than 20 years later, with six birds holding a sun emblem.
"You look like a noble from Adak now." Ayla said to Sean.
“Really?”
"Maybe one of your ancestors was really a noble." Ayla still didn't give up on finding out Sean's identity.
“Maybe.”
Sean didn't continue talking about this topic. He had to finish the matter of Kselke first.
Because it was an open carriage, almost everyone's gaze was fixed on me... These "being watched..." prompts were probably mostly because Aila was sitting next to me. There were no special glances, and at a glance, most people had neutral or friendly impressions of me. Occasionally, there were people who were cold, probably scolding me.
Anyway, class imbalance makes everyone look like a parasite in the eyes of others, and I guess there are a lot of people who are unhappy about it.
“VIP, we are almost there!”
At this time, the soldier pulling the cart said that those who could pull the cart in the palace were royal knights, and their mission would be completed if they approached the palace from the corridor.
Sean looked toward the palace entrance and saw a group of people gathered there. Among them was the old man who had come to deliver the news late last night. Nearby were a number of others dressed similarly to him, likely officials. None of them were particularly high-ranking, most were above average, or occasionally below average.
The carriage stopped and Sean and the others had to wait for the Royal Cavalry to bring a small ladder and open the door before they could get down.
The etiquette was quite thorough, but no one of status was seen among the crowd, and there probably wasn't the emperor or the two great marshals who held power among them.
Ayla visited this country as the chief wizard with the help of Queen Jagun's oral order. Since he was not a formal diplomat, it was already good enough to receive such treatment. If it was a small country, he probably wouldn't even be able to enter the door and would just be taken to an official's house to deal with him.
As the two men stepped out of the carriage, a group of officials immediately came to greet them with great affection...
“Welcome, Ms. Khalifa.”
Since she was a state guest, the officials certainly would not call Ayla by her name. Khalifa was a respectful title for royal relatives, teachers, or students in the Adak region, equivalent to people related to the royal family. Perhaps it was because of this relationship that Emperor Williams decided to meet her.
A group of officials took the two of them to the main hall. Since it was at the foot of the imperial palace, Mi'er could only wait outside the door as a subordinate. Only Sean and Ayla were allowed to enter.
"I've always heard that the imperial city of Keselke is very elegant. Now I can come here and see for myself that it is even more beautiful than I imagined!" Ayla appeared elegant and calm when communicating with every official. Especially since she was beautiful, every glance and smile of hers was full of charming temperament, making people smile willingly.
However, he, the advisor, was left out. Some officials asked him about his position in Jagun, but after he told them that he was Aila's advisor, no one paid any attention to them!
Consultant is a nice title, but it is actually just a closer subordinate.
Since you don’t have an official position, there’s nothing to talk about!
It's too powerful, but it's also good this way, giving Sean more free time to observe each person's favorability and personality traits one by one.
Everyone looked around and found nothing special. It was not until they entered the main hall and the royal garden that they saw some guards of slightly higher ranks!
It's not a formal visit. Unless there's something important, there's no need to discuss it in the main hall. Just a few words during the meal will do... Based on Sean's experience in these years of being in power, as long as the person is truly in a superior position, communication is actually very simple. After all, both sides are very busy. If you are vague about it, you won't have time for the next appointment. Just say whatever you want to say. As for whether you agree or not, it depends on the other party's willingness after thinking about it.
It was just like when Dansu came to Jagong to borrow troops. He directly put forward the conditions, and whether Jagong agreed or not was up to him.
Now Ayla wants to borrow the Cain Slate from Kselk. Even if she can't get it, she wants to piece it together and take a look. This way, her research on the ancient gods will be further explored. Sean is also very curious about the other ancient god described on Ayla's slate.
When they arrived at the royal garden, some officials could no longer enter. In a pavilion in the distance, they could see two people sitting in the center. They probably heard the sound and finally turned around.
Emperor Williams was wearing a black coat and a crown on his head. This outfit was too obvious. The man sitting opposite him was wearing exquisite leather armor and had chain mail gauntlets on his arms. Ordinary guards did not dare to sit at the same table with the emperor, so he should be considered one of the marshals.
A closer look...
The Orderer level is a little over 17, that should be correct.
The two men walked out of the courtyard, and many officials around them were bowing and waiting...
"Hahaha... Welcome, Your Excellency Khalifa. It's been a year since I last met with Jagun's diplomats. I'm so glad to see you again."
