Luo Tian received a message from Harry that he would go to meet the emperor with Harvey tomorrow, which was a bit unexpected.
He dragged his tired body out of the immersion cabin, changed into casual clothes, and found that it was already late at night.
Luo Tian asked Lan Yue to prepare a meal for him, and then he had a big meal to replenish his strength and went back to his bedroom to sleep.
The next day, Luo Tian followed Harry and Harvey into the palace to meet the emperor.
In the Heavenly King Palace, Emperor Robert listened to Harvey's report and nodded with satisfaction.
"Emperor, what do you think about these three candidates representing our Uranus City to compete in the Star Picking Competition?" Harvey asked respectfully.
"You made a good choice, let's choose them." Robert agreed.
"There is still one spot that has not been selected through the competition. We originally intended to nominate Rubin's son, but considering what you said before, advancement in this competition mainly depends on strength, and they did not make it to the finals after all, so we are not sure and would like to ask you to make the decision." Harvey said.
"This list includes my two sons and people from the lower district, but no nobles. This is a bit inappropriate. Rubin's two sons are suitable candidates. How did they perform in the competition?"
Luo Tian immediately replied: "They both performed very well. And among the noble contestants, these two had the best results."
Rob waved his hand and said, "Then let the Rubin family send one. Like father, like son, it won't be bad."
Harvey bowed and said, "As you wish."
Rob added: "I also took the time to watch a few matches of the Tianwu Tournament this time. It was very exciting and well organized. You three have made contributions, especially Harvey and his son. I will reward you well."
After Robert finished speaking, the servants came over with a box in their hands and presented it to Harvey and his son.
The emperor opened the box, and inside were two sparkling liquid diamonds, shining with dazzling brilliance. Harvey stared at the diamonds, and seemed to be completely absorbed in them.
"This is the top-quality liquid diamond I specially selected for you as the reward for this competition. In addition, I will give your family an additional bounty of 100,000." Robert picked up the box and put it in Harvey's hands.
Harvey and Harry knelt on one knee, took the treasure chest, and thanked the emperor: "Thank you for the gift. The Harvey family will do our best to protect the royal family."
The emperor helped Harvey and his son to stand up and said kindly, "I have never treated you as outsiders, otherwise I would not have let you help Luo Tian organize such an important competition. Now that the competition is over, the four selected warriors will represent Uranus City in the Kaiyuan Star Picking Competition. You should also think of ways to improve their strength."
Harvey replied, "Don't worry about that. We have already made arrangements in advance. Harry has collected information about the recent Star Picking Competition and will organize four contestants to learn and observe. At the same time, we will also arrange for them to receive intensive training to ensure that they do not embarrass Uranus City in the Star Picking Competition."
Robert patted Harvey on the shoulder and said, "It's right to prepare in advance. Just follow your idea. But you should pay attention to one thing. Our goal this time is not only to avoid embarrassment, but more importantly to show Uranus City's determination in a powerful battle and intimidate other star cities not to act rashly against us."
Harvey nodded and replied, "Understood, we will arrange it."
After Rob finished assigning the tasks, he said, "Go back and have a rest early. You have worked hard these past few days."
Harvey bowed and said, "Thank you for your concern, Emperor and Prince. We will get back to work now."
After sending Harvey and his son away, Rob kept Luo Tian. The emperor took his son's hand and sat him down, and asked with concern: "Are you not injured in this competition?"
Luo Tian shook his head: "Don't worry, father, I'm fine. Although I won this competition by chance, I also found that there is still a gap between me and many masters."
Rob smiled and said, "I watched all your games. To be honest, I am happy to have a son like you who is so motivated. Through this game, I saw your ability and determination. I hope you can help me with some things."
Luo Tian was overjoyed, as this meant that Robert was willing to grant him some power, but on the surface he pretended to be indifferent.
"My father needs my support, how can I just stand by and watch?" Luo Tian replied.
Seeing that Luo Tian did not refuse, Robert said, "You know that the entire Tianwang District's army is divided into two, one is in the hands of the Rubin family, and the other is in my hands. Now that I am old, this empire will eventually be handed over to you. Your two brothers have very powerful backers, but you have nothing. I am worried that if you really leave one day, you will have difficulty protecting yourself. So this time, I want to allocate some of the guards to you, just in case you can use them one day."
When Luo Tian heard this, he thought it was definitely a good thing. Once he took control of the guards, it would mean he had military power in his hands. By then, most people would definitely not dare to mess with him.
"Thank you, father. This is great. I like training soldiers and I will definitely train your guards to be brave and good at fighting." Luo Tian said confidently.
Rob dismissed his men and whispered to Luo Tian, "I trust Ruben, but I'm not sure about the other nobles. Even though your two brothers are married to the Mig and Maren families, it's hard to tell whether their hearts are with me or with other nobles. So I'm also on guard against them."
"Father, just tell me. I will do my best to do whatever you need me to do." Luo Tian stated. He could see that Robert in front of him must be thinking about his retreat after retirement.
Rob continued, "Now that you have the guards, there are two things you need to do immediately. First, do everything you can to improve our technical level. Second, you need to find out if there are any bad apples in our team who support us in public but actually discredit us."
Luo Tian nodded and said, "Don't worry, with the guards, I will definitely do everything you ask me to do as soon as possible."
Robert looked at Luo Tian's determined eyes and knew that he had chosen the right person this time: "Don't blame me for testing you and not releasing the name of the successor. It's also to protect you. Just imagine, if we directly look for jobs like waiters, takeout deliverymen, and anchors without a running-in period, more people may not have food to eat. In troubled times, stability is the most important task."
Luo Tian also expressed his opinion immediately: "Don't worry, father, I will make sure that my people will live a happy life."
Robert raised his glass, filled it for his son, and said happily, "Cheers to our Uranus City's continued success."
After Luo Tian clinked glasses with Luo Bo, he was overjoyed. This meant that he had been authorized, had both food and weapons, and would surely fight back more fiercely in the future. ?
