Chapter 84 Meeting the Princess Again
With 5 minutes left in the countdown, Su Yu successfully arrived at the gate of Plantagenet Palace.
The princess's bodyguard, Kelderon, is wearing a brand new silver armor and has been waiting here for a long time.
After seeing Su Yu, he put his left hand on his chest and bowed respectfully to Su Yu:
“Master Nemesis, Her Royal Highness the Queen has asked me to welcome you here specifically. I will take you in right away.”
“Okay, lead the way.”
Su Yu followed Kelderon and walked towards the interior of the palace.
“Ding! Your main plot has been updated! [Glory of the Plantagenet Empire (8/100)].”
“Task requirement: Participate in the ‘Maple Leaf City Negotiation Preparation Meeting’.”
“Task reward: experience value x 300.”
As soon as he saw the reward of this task, Su Yu knew that this task must not be difficult.
With 300 experience points, it was definitely a formality task, so I didn’t take it to heart.
Walking on the road inside the palace, Su Yu turned on the [first-person holographic perspective] while chatting with Kelderon, intending to record the plot of the 8th ring.
In fact, he wanted to record Tina's plot line. After all, it was a precious main plot line, and many people would be willing to watch it if it was recorded.
But considering some small interactions between him and Tina, he gave up.
The 8th ring of the Princess Line is a cutscene mission that does not require combat and will not reveal anything, so Su Yu plans to record it to earn some money, and at the same time, he can also ask the forum masters to help analyze the plot, killing two birds with one stone.
It’s still the same hall as last time.
After entering the hall, Su Yu found that the hall was already filled with ministers, nobles and senior officers.
Emperor Alijie looked serious and sat on the throne.
In her arms she held a blue and white kitten with stars all over her body. She didn’t know what breed it was.
At this time, the kitten was lying in the arms of the princess, squinting and taking a nap.
The seventh-level shadow priest [Xi Fan] was sitting on a seat on the side of the hall, his body covered in black air and his face could not be seen.
Although Su Yu is a senior scholar, his status can only be regarded as the lowest among the people in the hall, so he stood at the back of the crowd.
“Now that everyone is here, let’s get started.”
With the majestic voice of the princess, the meeting officially began.
…
In the first 5 minutes of the meeting, the princess and the ministers mainly discussed the internal affairs of the empire and military dispatch.
For example, when will reinforcements and food from Oran City arrive in Forest City;
Another example is to make a suggestion to His Majesty the Emperor to change the conscription system to a recruitment system to adapt to the new war situation.
Su Yu didn't care much about these things, so he just listened and let it go.
Five minutes later, the princess got down to business and started talking about her upcoming trip to Maple Leaf City.
“This time I went to Maple Leaf City with Advisor Sivan to negotiate with Duke Anzu Sever. Isaac, Ian.”
“I am here.”
A minister and a general in armor stood up.
“Isaac, you will temporarily manage the internal affairs of the imperial capital during my absence;
Ian, the city defense force in the city will be left to you. Remember not to anger the northern rebels. "
“Understood!” Ian, the city defense army general, immediately knelt down on one knee and replied respectfully.
The internal affairs officer named Isaac frowned: "Your Royal Highness, I still think you should not enter the enemy's hinterland easily. This road is quite dangerous. If you make any mistakes on the way."
"Do you have a better idea?" The princess interrupted him coldly.
“No, no.”
"Then do as I say." Princess Alijie closed her eyes slightly: "This negotiation is to facilitate the negotiation with the rebels along the Glow River. If the negotiation is successful, the name 'Porse' will be It won’t become history.”
The Glowing River is a large river that flows through the east-west central axis of the Plantagenet Empire. The area of the empire to the north of the river is almost the same as that to the south, and the imperial capital Plantagenet City is also located on the Glowing River.
If this negotiation succeeds, the royal family and the Kallet rebels will rule across the river, and the Plantagenet Empire will be divided into two, becoming the "Southern Plantagenet Empire" and the "Kalert Empire". But can negotiations really succeed?
Su Yu looked at the task bar with more than ninety levels of tasks and shook his head slightly.
The southern royal family is unwilling to give in, and the northern rebels are ambitious. The two major forces are bound to fight to the death.
The princess went to Maple Leaf City to negotiate this time just to buy time for the rear.
In the following meeting, the princess and the ministers mainly discussed the time for the negotiations to start.
It will take some time for the princess's bodyguard to prepare, so the departure time is set for 7 days.
Seven days later, the princess will take Xifan and the personal guards to Maple Leaf City.
Su Yu had no chance to speak during the entire meeting until the end of the meeting.
After the meeting, the ministers left one after another.
The moment he walked out of the hall, the game prompt sounded again:
“Ding! Your main plot has been updated! [Glory of the Plantagenet Empire (9/100)].”
“Task requirements: Please arrive at the gate of Plantagenet Palace on time in 14 hours and follow the princess to Maple Leaf City. Countdown is 13:59:58.”
“Task reward: experience value x 800.”
“Alas! It’s time to wait for the mission again.” Su Yu sighed slightly.
The plot of Tina's line is about high-intensity monster spawning, while the plot of the Princess's line is just "wait a minute", which is really boring.
Looking at the time, it was already 12 o'clock in the middle of the night.
Su Yu planned to leave the palace and go offline to sleep.
But at this moment, Kelderon wearing silver armor ran towards him:
“Master Nemesis, the princess invites you!”
"oh?"
A few minutes later, in a small courtyard behind the hall, Su Yu saw the princess Alijie again.
But he has now turned off the first-person perspective.
This courtyard should be the private residence of the princess, and there are many maids walking around.
“Nemesis, what do you think of this negotiation?”
In the hall, the princess stroked the blue and white kitten in her arms and asked calmly.
“This negotiation can only delay the outcome and will inevitably fail.” Su Yu took a sip of the tea handed by the maid and said:
“We have an old saying there, ‘What you can’t get on the battlefield, you can’t get at the negotiation table.’”
“Ding! If you drink [Pandaren Tea Beverage], your experience will be +50. (Only valid for the first time)”
“This sentence makes sense.” The princess nodded slightly.
“Nemesis, as a scholar who specializes in prophecy, I want to hear your predictions. Will I encounter danger during this trip to Maple Leaf City?”
The princess looked at Su Yu seriously.
Ever since the last time Su Yu accurately stated her true thoughts, Alijie knew that Su Yu was very unusual.
So when she was undecided about her trip to Maple Leaf City, the first thing she thought of was her nemesis and wanted to hear his opinion.
"According to my calculation." Su Yu closed his eyes and his face became extremely serious: "You will encounter two dangers during this trip to Maple Leaf City."
“Twice?!”
“That’s right, once when you go and once when you come back.”
Su Yu opened his eyes, his gaze looking particularly deep: "If you want to break the situation, I can give you a piece of advice."
“What suggestions?”
“You can use the power of players, no, adventurers from another world.”
