Chapter 96: On the top of the Heavenly Palace, meet Xue Mo again! (Added update to thank Silver Alliance!)
Next, the parliament officially began.
At this time, Lin Chen realized that so many people had come to this meeting, and it was so formal, just to question him.
However, Lin Chen didn’t know anything beforehand.
However, when the parliament started asking questions, Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
The person standing on the rostrum of the parliament at this time was a lady with a very hot figure and bold clothes. She came up and introduced with a smile: "City Lord Lin Chen, I am Tianxiang Hou Talia. Now we need Let me ask you some questions...Excuse me, are you willing to fight for Longling Kingdom?"
“Of course, the beautiful Tianxianghou!”
Lin Chen responded: "I am willing to fight for the Longling Kingdom and resist all foreign invasions."
“Very good! Then, next question.”
Thalia smiled charmingly at Lin Chen. This woman was so charming, and she was much younger than the eldest princess Qingyue. But what surprised Lin Chen even more was that the 40-year-old eldest princess Qingyue actually also He was not suppressed by this extremely charming woman.
“City Lord Lin Chen, do you support the blood fusion of Blue Star people and Longling people?”
Thalia continued to ask.
At this time, her face turned slightly red.
His eyes kept drifting towards Lin Chen.
However, Lin Chen remained serious: "I personally think this should be a good thing. Maybe it can improve many problems."
"Very good, then... is City Lord Lin willing to fulfill the obligations that every city should fulfill to the kingdom?" Thalia raised a question again.
“I’m very happy.” Lin Chen nodded again.
Then, the key comes.
Thalia asked again: "In this conflict between Tianyue City and Lieyan Hou, from beginning to end, was Tianyue City the active party or the passive party? If it was the active party, did City Lord Lin hate the nobles? ? If it is passive, will City Lord Lin hold grudge against the nobles?"
"First of all, the battlefield is in Tianyue City. I declare again that since the arrival of Longling Kingdom, the residents of Tianyue City and I have never actively provoked anyone. Therefore, in this war, Tianyue City and myself have We are passively fighting! Moreover, we have never thought of hating or holding a grudge against any noble, and it is the same now!"
Lin Chen naturally answered the question in a flawless manner.
Anyway, such an inquiry is most likely just a formality, so that all parties will no longer be aggrieved by this matter.
“I’m done asking.”
Taliyah looked up at the crowd and said, "Does anyone have anything to add? If not, then the results of this inquiry will be announced."
"I have a question!"
At this time, Shui Jingtian stood up.
Lin Chen frowned.
This guy…
He doesn’t know how to tell what happened at Longhu Mountain, right?
As a result, Lin Chen thought too much.
Shui Jingtian asked with a smile: "So, is City Lord Lin willing to accept the friendship of my Shui family? My Shui family would really like to ask City Lord Lin to visit Longhu Province when he is free. We are all familiar with each other. of."
Lin Chen turned around and smiled: "Okay, I'm happy to!"
However, although Lin Chen had a smile on his face, he was sneering in his heart.
It seems that Shui Jingtian is still worried about the secret realm of Jianzhong.
He definitely didn't want to avenge the Huo family. The water and fire families are not into each other...
Furthermore, now that Lin Chen has come to the parliament and is about to join the Dragon Guard Army, Shui Jingtian invites Lin Chen to go to Longhu Province. If something happens to Lin Chen, the Shui family will not be able to handle it easily.
So…
Why did Shui Jingtian ask this in the parliament?
Lin Chen guessed something... maybe, this guy wanted to knock the bamboo pole.
After all, one of Lin Chen’s biggest secrets may be related to the Sword Tomb Secret Realm.
Out out Out out?
"I have no objection." Shui Jingtian sat down happily.
“So, does anyone else want to ask questions?” Thalia continued to ask.
Everyone shook their heads.
After all, everyone has actually reached a tacit agreement on this matter.
If you jump out at this time, you are deliberately looking for trouble and may offend everyone.
Furthermore, who can’t see that all the forces now want to win over Lin Chen?
Everyone’s eyes are sharp.
As soon as Lin Chen arrived at the Imperial City, all three princes came.
Moreover, Duke Shun, the chief of the parliament, all smiled at Lin Chen.
How does Lin Chen have such charm?
Obviously, it’s not a question of charisma.
It should be said to be the general trend.
First of all, when the Protector came out to protect Lin Chen, he blocked the road where many people wanted Lin Chen to die.
Since one way doesn’t work, we have to think of other ways.
Perhaps, wooing is a good choice.
What's more, according to the news from Princess Qingyue, Tianyue City is very rich!
Who would have trouble with money and resources?
Talia said loudly: "The 1576th resolution of the parliament, now the chief officer of this rotation announces: After testing, Lin Chen, the lord of Tianyue City, is loyal to the kingdom and has no faults, and can obtain all dragon spirits. the legitimate rights and interests of the people of the country.”
The announcement is over.
Then the king spoke: "Now, I announce that Lin Chen will be enthroned as Lord Loyalty, Commander-in-Chief of the Dragon Guard Army! Come, I will reward you with a robe, title crown, Lord Loyalty's seal, and...30,000 soul crystals!"
Soon, the maids came to the stage and presented the rewards.
At this moment, the entire hall was silent.
Because, this time the king did not grant a fief!
This is obviously a knighthood that breaks the tradition.
What would Lin Chen do?
Then, Lin Chen accepted the reward without hesitation.
“Good!” The king stood up and took the lead in applauding.
So, the entire parliament hall, whether willing or unwilling, all had no choice but to stand up and give warm applause.
Actually, the scene just now was another power struggle.
In other words, Lin Chen was granted the title of earl, not the land...
His actions set off another power struggle.
But, what does this have to do with Lin Chen?
He is going to the imperial battlefield soon!
After the meeting, the king also announced that he would go to the palace to accept Lin Chen's worship.
Obviously, this is asking Lin Chen for the benefits promised before.
Lin Chen understood.
Then, he took the Jin Mu brothers and the guards to the palace.
On this road, Jian Nishang was naturally inseparable from Lin Chen.
She is dressed up in a very heroic manner.
When we arrived at the palace, it turned out that Princess Qingyue was also here.
Lin Chen took out the space ring without saying a word.
The things I promised you before are all in there.
"Very good, Lin Chen. King Gu appreciates your straightforwardness. This time you have made more military exploits in the imperial battlefield. When you come back, King Gu will continue to promote you to a higher rank!" The king was overjoyed.
Then, he signaled Lin Chen to retreat.
Princess Qingyue smiled and said: "Don't be anxious, City Master Lin. You go to my palace and wait first. We still have to sign some agreements."
“As you command, eldest princess.”
Lin Chen agreed.
However, when Lin Chen and Jian Nishang left the palace, they found an elevator passing by in a flash.
The person sitting in the elevator was Princess Qingyue.
"That is a special elevator for the royal family. Flying is prohibited in the Imperial City, especially around the palace. Speeding is prohibited. We can only walk through it." Jin Mu quickly reminded Lin Chen.
“Okay, lead the way to the eldest princess’s mansion!”
Lin Chen was speechless.
There are so many rules in this imperial capital.
Jin Mu began to lead the way, and at the same time reminded Lin Chen: "Commander, the Protector of the Country has asked you to report to the top of the Heavenly Palace before sunset."
“The top of the heavenly palace?”
Lin Chen was puzzled.
Jin Mu then said: "The passage through the imperial battlefield is on the top of the Heavenly Palace. The Heavenly Palace is very large and can connect all the countries on the Blue Star. There are also similar connecting passages in other realms."
“You mean, the countries on the Blue Star are not the only ones on the imperial battlefield?” Lin Chen only knew this information.
Jin Mu replied: "The battlefield of the empire is very complicated. There are more than tens of thousands of different countries and races."
Lin Chen was speechless.
No wonder people say that the imperial battlefield is cruel!
"Currently, our Dragon Spirit Country is a second-level battlefield. If you want to upgrade, you have to enter the top three in a star war before you can be promoted to a higher-level battlefield. The rewards for higher-level battlefields are more generous, but accordingly, The enemy is also stronger!"
Jin Mu gave Lin Chen some strange knowledge...
Why is there a promotion and relegation system in the Imperial Battlefield?
Lin Chen still wanted to ask, but at this time he heard a shout: "Are you Lin Chen?"
At this time, Lin Chen and his party had just left the palace.
Then a Loli girl appeared in front of her. She had long fiery red hair, tied into a pair of ponytails that fell to the left and right. She was wearing a robe that only reached above her thighs, and she also wore knee-high socks on one pair of legs.
Looks a bit soft and cute.
But the visitor signed up for himself: "I am Huo Linglong...are you the one who killed my grandfather?"
“Sister Linglong.”
“Sister Ni...Nishang?”
Huo Linglong saw Jian Nishang and called Jian Nishang’s name at first, but then Loli’s face changed and she said in a deep voice: “Humph, you are a traitor to this family!”
“She is not a traitor.” Lin Chen spoke. Because the little loli in front of her was the first Huo family member that Lin Chen had ever seen called Sister Jian Nishang.
Perhaps...it has a different meaning for Jian Nishang.
"snort!"
Huo Linglong ignored Jian Nishang and seemed very angry. She looked at Lin Chen and said, "I, Huo Linglong, request a fight to the death with you!"
Decisive battle!
At this time, Jin Mu, who had become Lin Chen's full-time secretary, immediately came over and explained: "This is the rule of the Imperial City. Fighting is not allowed in the city. However, if one party initiates an invitation to fight to the death and the other party accepts, they can go to the duel stage together. .This is allowed!"
Lin Chen understood.
It is equivalent to saying that as long as he does not agree, then this little girl will have nothing to do with herself?
"I am a descendant of the Huo family. My grandfather was killed by you, which proves that he is inferior to you. This is the shame of the Huo family, so... I, Huo Linglong, want to avenge my shame!" Huo Linglong continued, she wanted to fight with Lin Chen’s reason for fighting to the death.
It's strange that her reason is not to avenge her dead grandfather... Moreover, Lin Chen feels that the way Huo Linglong looks at her does not have the burning hatred of killing her loved ones.
Huo Linglong wants to fight decisively, just to regain the glory of the family...
All right!
Lin Chen didn’t understand.
"Sorry, your strength is not enough to challenge me! If you don't believe me, you can ask her." Lin Chen rejected the other party's invitation to a duel. He felt that the little loli in front of him was quite interesting.
Much like the last century, a game that was once very popular but later failed, one of the characters...
Ahn'Qiraj.
If Huo Linglong showed hatred towards Lin Chen, Lin Chen might not hesitate to accept the challenge.
However, Huo Linglong did not.
And Lin Chen had just killed many people and was questioned by the parliament. At this time, it was natural that one less thing would be better than one more thing.
Jian Nishang saw that Lin Chen had no intention of fighting with Huo Linglong, so she quickly said: "Linglong, you are no match for the sword master, so you should leave quickly!"
“Hmph, why should I believe what you say, a traitor?”
Hearing this, Huo Linglong was a little hesitant. She tilted her head and thought for a moment, then changed her words: "In this case, let's not fight to the death. Let's fight for guidance, okay?"
Lin Chen almost laughed!
This may be the most adorable "Avenger" in history, right?
He actually asked Lin Chen if he could do it?
"no!"
Although Lin Chen was a man and didn't want to say these two words, he still refused, but in order to make her give up, Lin Chen said: "Nishang is my sword attendant, and her strength is far inferior to mine... Let's do this , if you can defeat her, then I will accept your challenge!"
"Really?" Huo Linglong immediately looked at Jian Nishang.
“Sword Master, I...”
“Go!”
Lin Chen nodded.
Jian Nishang gritted her teeth and said to Huo Linglong: "Sister Linglong, be careful, I am much more powerful than before!"
“Tch, how powerful can it be?”
Huo Linglong disdains...
Three minutes later, Lin Chen led a group of people and continued to walk through the city.
"Sword Master, I...did I use too much force?"
“It’s okay, she’s just right, and her talent is pretty good, but she suffered a loss in level and soul cultivation in front of you. It seems that you have received a lot of inheritance from the ancient sword spirit!”
Lin Chen smiled and praised Jian Nishang.
At the downtown entrance, Huo Linglong sat on the ground with her legs in an M shape, wiping her tears regardless of the strange looks from passers-by...
Yes, she was tortured to tears!
The Princess's Mansion.
When Lin Chen asked for a meeting, everyone around him was stopped by the guards.
Only Lin Chen was allowed to enter the inner hall.
Lin Chen vaguely heard the sound of some water and a woman's voice: "Your Highness, do you still want to put in the colorful crystal?"
"put!"
"yes."
“Is it Lin Chen here?”
The voice of Princess Qingyue sounded.
Lin Chen quickly said: "Princess, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were taking a bath."
“Haha, what’s the problem? Come in!” Princess Qingyue actually let Lin Chen in!
She is taking a shower now!
Could it be said that you can still wear clothes after taking a shower?
Lin Chen came behind the screen.
As a result, he seemed to see the March sky in the human world...
Spring is endless!
Princess Qingyue looked indifferent and started chatting with Lin Chen: "Five billion a year, actually, I feel that is not enough! However, you can't be too greedy... I think, forty-eight billion How about 100 million? In this case, it’s easy to calculate the monthly turnover. In fact, if we calculate it, it means that we can do 400 million gold coins in business every month. What do you think, City Master Lin?"
"I don't have any problems, and... I can also advance one year's payment to the eldest princess. Then, within this year, how much goods Tianyue City got from Chengfa Trading Company can be recorded. When this amount is exceeded, The eldest princess can just come to me for money at any time."
Lin Chen said that he is not short of money.
And he’s very rich.
He is a rich man.
“This princess likes you more and more now... City Lord Lin, why don’t you spend the night at your house tonight?”
Princess Qingyue looked straight at Lin Chen.
But Lin Chen shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, Princess, the Lord Protector specifically told me that I must reach the top of the Heavenly Palace before sunset."
“How come this old man still likes to take care of things so much?”
Hearing this, the eldest princess Qingyue actually had a complaining tone.
When Lin Chen heard this, his ears perked up...
A dead old man?
Good guy!
There seems to be an unexpected discovery!
That is the Protector of the Country, Long Yandao!
Who in the entire Longling Kingdom dares to be disrespectful to him?
Even the king must be addressed as Uncle Wang...
No way?
In this way, the relationship between Long Yandao and Long Qingyue should be...that of uncle and niece!
Although Long Yandao is only a member of the royal family and does not think he is a brother to the old king, he still has some blood relationship after all!
Besides...
Long Qingyue should get married.
Lin Chen feels... your circle is so chaotic!
Still can’t afford to offend, so moisturize quickly!
A woman like Long Qingyue is too evil.
Lin Chen resigned to Long Qingyue.
“It’s boring…City Master Lin, when you have time in the future, come to the Imperial City to find someone, okay?” Long Qingyue actually stood up and walked straight to Lin Chen without wearing anything.
Then, Lin Chen looked away and smiled.
“Let’s go, I won’t tease you anymore!”
…
Lin Chen didn’t know how he got out.
It always feels like a person has come out, but at least half of his mind and soul have been lost inside...
It shouldn’t be!
Lin Chen Anan pondered: Could it be that my concentration has declined?
After much thought, Long Qingyue should be too evil.
And there seems to be more than one such monster in the imperial capital!
“Get out of the way quickly!”
Lin Chen immediately ordered Jin Mu to go to the top of the Heavenly Palace.
Jin Mu took out the special airship of the Dragon Guard Army.
Then, he flew into the sky...
The Heavenly Palace is actually located above the moon!
To Lin Chen’s surprise, the moon was also transformed.
The current moon is as big as the earth before!
Moreover, there are ruins of remains everywhere.
In addition, Lin Chen actually met some old acquaintances at the entrance...
“Lin Chen.”
“Xuemo?”
Lin Chen frowned.
Because, he saw Xue Mo.
There are even many familiar faces from the previous Ice and Snow City.
It’s just…
They are now all chained up by chains made of fine iron.
"How is this going?"
Lin Chen’s expression changed!
Thanks to Mr. Hengtong for his Silver Alliance!
Thank you so much.
All right!
This chapter is an extra chapter!
Five thousand words plus update to celebrate the first Silver Alliance!
