Duke led Luo Tian and Lorraine up the long and high steps and walked for a long time before arriving at the entrance of the Fire God Temple.
At this time, Luo Lin was already out of breath due to exhaustion. Seeing his face was livid, Luo Tian hurriedly supported him to prevent him from fainting. The tall and burly Duke was also sweating. Because Luo Tian exercised regularly, he was still able to keep up with the physical strength and was not tired at all.
"Your Majesty, we are here," Duke said, "Please come in."
"We're finally here, but I'm so tired!" Lorraine said panting.
"Your Majesty is really strong. An ordinary person would be out of breath after walking this distance, but you can walk as if it were flat ground." Duke exclaimed in admiration from the bottom of his heart.
"I usually like to practice martial arts, so my basic skills are pretty good. Captain Duke, since this journey is so exhausting, why don't you change it?" Luo Tian asked curiously.
Duke smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you don't know that the general deliberately made this road very difficult to walk on. The purpose is to test whether the bodies of us military and political leaders can withstand the test. If you have difficulty walking even this short distance, then you can just wait to retire and go home."
"The general is really good!" Luo Tian praised him, but he felt a chill in his heart. Living on Mars, the price of being in poor health is quite high.
Luo Tian and Luo Lin followed Duke into the Fire God Temple, but saw soldiers in red uniforms standing on both sides of the temple, and a burly, dignified old man sitting in the temple. The old man had red hair and a different look, and there was no sign of aging in his spirit.
"Greetings, General. I have already invited His Majesty Luo Tian of the Heavenly King District and Lord Lorraine." Duke bowed deeply to the old man in the hall and said.
From Duke's address, we can guess that the old man sitting in the hall is General Peter, the supreme leader of the Mars region.
"Well, you've worked hard!" said Peter.
Duke slowly retreated and stood in the team on the left.
Luo Lin spoke first, "Hello, General. His Majesty Luo Tian and I are honored to come to your district as invited. We brought these gifts from the Tianwang District. Please accept them."
The soldiers from the Mars district brought up the gifts one by one and presented them to Peter. He just glanced at them briefly and ordered them to be taken away.
"Thank you for taking so much trouble to come all the way here and bring me a gift. I appreciate your kindness," said Peter.
Luo Tian noticed that Peter was holding a bright red cane with the top of the cane shaped like a flame. This cane undoubtedly symbolized the highest power.
"You are too polite, General. This is my first time to see you in the Mars district, so it is only natural that I should bring some gifts. We came here mainly to make friends with you. After all, our two districts are adjacent, and there will be a lot of room and opportunities for cooperation in the future." Luo Tian said.
"We'll discuss the cooperation later. It just so happened that when you came today, our Mars district was discussing military and political affairs. The generals in the hall now are all my most trusted generals. I see it's noon already, so why don't we go eat first." Peter said politely.
"Follow the general's arrangements!" Luo Tian replied.
"Then let's adjourn the meeting now and you all go down," Peter ordered.
"Long live the great general!" the people in the hall shouted in unison and left the Fire God Temple one after another.
Peter walked up to Luo Tian, looked him up and down carefully, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect the emperor of Tianwang District to be so young. It's true that heroes emerge from youth!"
"General, thank you for the compliment. My father had always been in good health, but unfortunately passed away due to an accident. I have taken over from him to manage the Uranus District, but I am actually facing many difficulties now. You should know that all the star cities are now uniting to attack the Uranus City, and the pressure on my shoulders is very high. I heard that the general has always liked to help the weak and uphold justice, so when I learned that you wanted to invite me, I immediately decided to come and meet you!" Luo Tian said.
"You're complimenting me so much that I can't bear it. Let's put these aside for now and go eat first!" said Peter.
"Okay, then please lead the way, General." Luo Tian replied.
Luo Tian and Luo Lin followed Peter to the restaurant and entered a private room. A sumptuous meal was already served on the table.
Peter sat in the main seat, while Luo Lin and Luo Tian sat in the guest seat. At this time, a middle-aged man in a suit walked in and greeted Luo Lin first: "Do you still recognize me? Old friend!"
Lorraine immediately guessed the identity of the visitor through the man's voice: "Andre, how could I forget you?"
"Hahaha, I didn't expect you could actually recognize me!" Andre said happily.
Luo Lin introduced Luo Tian, "Your Majesty, this is Andre, the ambassador of the Mars region. We have been communicating online at Kaiyuan for many years, and this is the first time we have met offline."
"Hello, Ambassador Andre, I am Luo Tian, the Emperor of the Tianwang District. Nice to meet you!" Luo Tian said politely.
"Your Majesty, you are so polite. It is my honor to dine with you." Andre said, and sat down next to Lorraine.
"Andre is quite familiar with Lorraine, so I specially invited him to come along. Let's get started," said Peter.
Luo Tian found that most of the dishes on the table were various kinds of roasted meat, not only cooked meat, but also bloody meat. What impressed him most was the more than one-meter-high wine barrel standing next to the dining table. The servants poured out cold wine from the barrel, which was still steaming, and distributed it to everyone.
"I heard that the Uranus region is covered with snow and is extremely cold, while our Mars region has a hot climate. Are you used to it?" Peter asked.
"General, you are quite familiar with the Tianwang District. It is true that the climates of the two places are very different. However, I have always been very adaptable and I don't feel uncomfortable at all." Luo Tian replied.
