Chapter 874: The Ten Billion Plan
Ye Lin just stood upright, like a slender and straight bamboo:
It is absolutely impossible to kneel down and bend down respectfully to Leon. His knees will only kneel under his skirt.
They looked at each other for a moment, arguing with each other invisibly, and the sudden suppressed aura made the ministers feel as if their throats were being strangled by big hands. Some were frightened, while others were even more gloating about their misfortune.
So brave!
How dare you not kneel down when you meet the Emperor of the Empire? His Majesty the Emperor is the most powerful person at the top of Arad.
"Ye Lin, I would like to say hello to Your Majesty and say hello."
He finally spoke first, followed by a slight bending motion. However, he did not call himself a subject or a citizen. This did not look like a respectful salute to the monarch at all. Instead, it seemed like... he was looking down at his shoes.
Have you taken it away?
"No gifts."
Leon suppressed his displeasure slightly. He had already expected that Ye Lin would not kneel down to salute, so at least this time, he was not surprised or angry.
"Sure enough, he is a talented person with outstanding strength, which is rare in Delos." Leon praised with a smile, which seemed to be a compliment, but in fact, his position was instantly hostile to that of a group of noble young men.
"Your Majesty is so ridiculous. The empire is a land of outstanding people and abundant resources."
Hypocritical, polite...
There was an inexplicable strange smell in everyone's heart, just like the pickling stones, which became odorous over time.
Logically speaking, this was supposed to be the first friendly meeting between the father-in-law and his son-in-law. They were supposed to be harmonious and beautiful, but how could they feel that they were out of place and even at odds with each other?
After another period of silence, Leon suddenly clapped his hands and laughed, then waved to the ministers, "Please step aside, this is my family business."
All the ministers became more and more suspicious, but due to the power of the emperor, they had no choice but to bow and bow, and then slowly left together.
Of course, there is always gossip behind the scenes.
…
"This person is too young, energetic, and unruly. He can be used as a general, but he cannot be reused by the empire."
A slightly fat man in rich clothes walked in front of the ministers, with a slightly displeased and arrogant look on his face. He was a rare duke in the empire and was extremely noble.
"Mr. Duke Brandt, he has entered the realm of legend at this age, so arrogance is inevitable. By the way, Mister Duke, your son should be about to break through the realm of the Awakened, right?"
The one who teased and teased him was Lord Conard, who had a relationship with Ye Lin, that is, Hyde's father and Barn's father-in-law.
The Conard family advocates martial arts and has always been upright and selfless, so they have offended many people in the court.
Originally, Humann thought that the Conard family was probably on its last legs and would soon become a thing of the past in the history of the empire.
But I never thought that during the Battle of Miranda Plains, mediocre people abounded in the army, which made the emperor furious. The Conard family, with their excellent family education, would be lucky enough to have a great opportunity and be re-employed again.
"Hmph, we have to wait and see if he has legendary powers. Maybe it's just a joke of the Xuzu people."
The Duke's face turned cold and he walked away, obviously not wanting to talk to this guy any more and make him feel sulky.
Because the eldest son of his family is also considered a genius, with outstanding qualifications and good manners. He has reached the threshold of the awakened realm at a young age. The empire praised him as the second rising star after Viscount Barn.
Probably because he was praised too much, he really thought that was the case.
He also thought that when the eldest son in the family breaks through to become an awakener, he would ask His Majesty for a marriage to the favored and beautiful third princess of the empire, so as to achieve mutual benefits in politics, interests and other aspects.
But he never thought that the strongest adventurer would appear halfway, and the three emperors' female lard was fooled. Not only did she sacrifice her body, but she was also willing to marry in a "backcountry". It was simply unreasonable, and a phoenix turned into a chicken.
"Tomorrow is the Red Moon Festival. I want to see what you, an adventurer, are capable of."
…………
"I heard that you once dominated the competition in the Xu Ancestor, overwhelming the fighting twins, and even uttered aphorisms such as Wu Dao Wuji, which are regarded as classics."
"It's just a casual remark. It's the praise and love from the seniors."
"Haha, Katrin is also obsessed with martial arts. You need to give her more guidance on weekdays. Although she is playful, her talent is still pretty good."
Catherine is a nickname similar to Isabella's pet name. Only people close to her can call her. Others can generally call her "Her Royal Highness."
All the officials in the splendid palace have retreated, and only the well-educated maids stand respectfully on both sides of the throne, looking at their noses and hearts, pretending not to hear anything they say.
They talked cordially for a few words, mostly with Leon asking about his adventures, and then using them to glean news about the Seventh Empire and even the Demon Realm.
Indeed, as Alice said, Leon is a mortal, but his ambition is comparable to that of an apostle.
Transfer experiments, magic gun experiments, magic fighter experiments... Apart from these, no one knows what else he is hiding.
Ye Lin had 10,000 reasons to believe that the Delos Empire had at least half a success rate in regaining the glory of Perus.
So he wants to do something, delay this time point a little further, give Skadi and Meia more time to restore the domestic economy, and give Aska and Alijie more time to control an entire country!
"Your Majesty, there is a person in my adventure team named Siat Ixir. He has been missing his family very much recently and is so sad that he cannot sleep. However, his status is too low to enter the palace."
"Oh, you mean Count Orson? He has made great contributions to the empire, but now he is ill. I ordered him to be brought to the palace to rest, and there are the best doctors."
Leon nodded in response, his eyes were like a deep pool of stagnant water, without a trace of ripples in sight, and no one could figure out the slightest bit of his thoughts.
Resting is naturally just an excuse.
In fact, as a member of the team, Siatt is also famous in Arad. The most important thing is that she has perfect magic hands!
Every time Siatt became stronger, his heart became more itchy, and his desire for the power of transfer became stronger and more difficult to contain.
In fact, Leon is a little surprised now. Does the other party want to take the experimental subject's parents back by naming him so bluntly?
Thinking of this, Leon couldn't help but smile in his heart. He is really young and energetic. The arrogance of a genius has not been flattened. However, it is quite similar to when he was young.
Although he appreciates Ye Lin's talent in the realm of legends, strictly speaking, he is a national treasure.
But if he had simply agreed to this "shameless" behavior of asking for prostitution for free, he would have given up the position of emperor to an equally ambitious prince.
In fact, Siatt's parents have indeed lost much use value to him, but what I am worth is your gold.
As long as you still care, still want, and can't let go of family affection, then the conditions and initiative will always be in my hands!
Leon originally wanted to use the Orsons to contain and study the mystery of Siatt's magic hand and sword control.
Sword control is a swordsmanship for the imperial nobles. After Siatt became famous, he trained a group of people to specialize in this swordsmanship, but the results were always unsatisfactory.
Now Ye Lin suddenly mentioned this couple, and Leon was also interested. How would he get these two people back from his hands?
"His Majesty."
Ye Lin raised the wooden box in his hand. It was a small box that looked like it could only contain some jewelry and scattered items. It looked very delicate and antique.
The knowledgeable maid hurriedly came down, gently took off the wooden box, and then presented it to the emperor.
With a wave of his hand, a strong wind blew up. When the wooden box was opened, it was not a precious jewelry or a hidden weapon, but a piece of paper filled with words, a piece of... a wanted order!
Most Wanted: Ludmila Bierlo.
…
The bargaining chip and price Ye Lin gave was to capture Ludmila!
The empire's thorn in the side, a troubled figure in Lyon, the most wanted criminal with a bounty of 10 billion gold coins, and one of the leaders of the resistance, the sharp archer Ludmila.
It was extremely shocking, tempting and sweet, and it was impossible for Leon to say "no".
Ten billion is not the highest price the empire can offer, but the price reaches such a terrible figure. Even if it is several times higher, it will be meaningless.
Whatever you want, the empire will give you, almost, it has reached the point.
The sun was just right, there was no wind in the city and it was warm. Ye Lin walked out of the palace with a slight smile on his face. The Chinese New Year was coming soon. If he made more money, he could give Wanzi, Beyana and the others some lucky money.
Moreover, the maintenance of Silent City, future occupation of the subway center, demarcation of land as king, etc. all require a large amount of funds to support.
