Chapter 215 Meeting the King
The days of a lecturer's dominance didn't last long.
On the second day after obtaining the title of lecturer, an airship that landed near the University of Michigan directly changed Mr. Capet's itinerary.
Almost all famous professors in the five colleges of the University of Michigan,
were invited to Göttinghagen.
It is very strange that Tu Fu's name is the only one on the invitation list of the University of Michigan.
Until the next morning, Tu Fu was knocked on the door by Miss Winnie, a sophomore, and came out sleepily rubbing the corners of his eyes, "What happened, oh, it's Miss Winnie, it's great to see you, do you want to come in and have a meeting?" .”
"Dean Luo Fu asked me to call you over, someone wants to see you."
Winnie gave this guy a blank look.
As expected of him, he became so notorious on the campus of the University of Michigan in just one day that no one from the student committee dared to come over, and a group of people shunned and handed over the job to her.
"Hush—"
There was a violent sound of breaking through the air, flying over the dense sky, it was the whistling sound of the airship.
And there was more than one. Even though it was far away, Tu Fu noticed the sign on the boat after opening his eagle eyes.
A shining three-pronged crown symbolizes the royal family of Baia, and the unicorn on the crown is the symbol of the Hohenzollern family.
The string of noble patterns almost made his dog eyes faint.
"My God."
Tu Fu was so frightened that he woke up in an instant, and the thing he was most worried about was still to come.
Even after a long time, even in the middle of his busy schedule, William II still did not forget him, let alone invite him to the Hill Palace for talks.
This made Tu Fu instinctively feel a little uneasy, if not helpless.
If he had no choice, he really didn't want to get too close to that king.
At the school gate.
The royal palace and senior officials of the University of Michigan have met here.
The person who came to greet Tu Fu was the Chief of the Palace of the Hill Palace, dressed in light court clothes, he looked majestic.
This position has a wide range of responsibilities, and almost all the internal affairs of the royal court are handled by this person.
It is worth mentioning that this person was born as a free man, which is fundamentally different from a prostituted servant, and belongs to the level of a royal confidant.
There is also a team of knights who came together.
Although they are not extraordinary, the posture of holding spears and heavy shields looks very bluffing. They stand in two rows on the left and right, put their right fists on their left chests, and greet Tufu with a unique ceremony of knights.
It can be seen that the palace attaches great importance to this invitation.
"Mr. Capet, we came here to pick you up according to the requirements of the talks. It is now nine o'clock in the morning, and our flight speed is 60 kilometers per hour. We expect to arrive at the royal capital within half an hour and the palace at ten o'clock.
After the eleven o'clock meeting, His Majesty will leave you alone for fifteen minutes. In order to ensure that you will not be late, we have specially invited you to the palace, and you can meet with Your Majesty after dinner. "
The Chief of Palace Affairs glanced at the time of the watch, "In order not to delay our schedule, I trouble you to get on the road now."
After announcing their intention to come to the senior officials of the University of Michigan, the other party did not stop for almost a second.
It's like a machine, not daring to deviate from the slightest bit, and ruthlessly executes the assigned tasks.
"Tu Fu, you should know what to say and what not to say after you go to the palace."
Luo Fu was very worried about him, so he specifically warned him in words that only the two of them could hear, "Sometimes, silence doesn't mean weakness. Maybe it's a sign of accumulating strength, can you understand?"
The meaning of the dean's words is obvious enough. Although he knows that Tu Fu has many problems, he can't hide his sense of justice.
The sense of justice that blinds people and dogs.
He was afraid that Tu Fu would offend a king by saying something wrong in a moment of arrogance.
"I totally understand that."
Tu Fu closed his eyes slightly, and casually glanced at the palace chief, "Sir, we're on our way."
He walked resolutely, in the two rows of majestic knights, on the main ship of the airship team, the same comfortable space in the boat, bookcases, red wine, and even a rich breakfast have been prepared.
When the hull slowly lifts into the air, the propeller at the rear and tail of the boat turns when it reaches a certain height.
This sophisticated instrument glides across the sky in an instant, leaving only a trail in the clouds.
"Farewell, Miska."
Tu Fu stared down intently. The remote and backward town of Villedo gradually turned into a square shape, and countless figures turned into black spots the size of ants.
The outlines of low buildings can no longer be seen clearly, and the rice fields in the farmland have also become green patches, and in the end, nothing can be seen clearly.
To be honest, Tu Fu doesn't really like riding in airships.
In the past, from Göttinghagen to Villedot, or from here to the capital, I always witnessed the difference between the two cities along the way. The contrast brought by the two completely different scenery is always exciting.
It's not like it is now, it's gone in a flash.
Can't see anything.
Thirty kilometers are only the distance from Villedot to Göttinghagen, and it took them another ten minutes to go to Hill Palace in the central city.
It took a lot of time from the start of the hull to the landing.
The total of this trip was close to an hour, which meant that Tu Fu had to stay in the palace for at least an hour before he could be summoned.
What catches the eye is the outline of the magnificent palace.
A royal palace with a very western architectural style. The towering spire and a square bell tower with the same spire are independent.
The neat and orderly main palace building and the beautiful fountain in the central garden are all spectacular sights.
Although it is not as shocking as the first time I saw the Forbidden City, it also has a different style.
Although the airship cannot fly directly over the main building, when it landed on the landing pad, Tu Fu sighed inwardly, "The last map is finally collected."
Seeing the unfamiliar face, the palace guards did not come directly, because the knight squad that came down from the airship had already formed a queue when Tu Fu came down, and escorted him into the main hall of the palace.
The guards of the palace seemed to ignore them like a decoration, which made Tu Fu feel ridiculous.
Along the way, you can see maids and servants working in the palace, making them bow their heads deeply and concentrate on their tasks.
Those managers with higher status can insult or flog them unscrupulously, just like slaves.
If you are unlucky and collide with a certain grand duke or member of the royal family, you may even lose your life.
Tu Fu, who opened the hunter's senses, can clearly feel the gloomy atmosphere of the palace. The magnificent and beautiful palace is not as beautiful as it looks.
Every glamorous person's mind is occupied by a large gray cloud of depression.
It was as if everyone was crying silently.
If you express your emotions in silence for a long time, you will probably be regarded as really dumb.
This made Tu Fu feel extremely uncomfortable. He frowned and continued to enter the main hall.
A familiar face has been waiting here for a long time, and Friedrich Wilhelm was waiting for him to arrive. When he saw the visitor, he immediately stood up and greeted him.
"Mr. Capet, hello."
"Hello, Your Highness."
Tu Fu replied politely, fortunately this is not the outside world, no one dares to spread any news from the palace.
Otherwise, the peaceful meeting of these two protagonists who fought to death in the newspaper would naturally attract a lot of attention.
Prince William has lost a lot of weight recently, and his cheeks have sunken into two dimples.
His already pale complexion was bloodless, his eyes were black, and he seemed to be in a bad state of mind. After he drove away the guards at the door, he said with a smile:
"Your Majesty has been busy with the ceremony recently, and doesn't care about others.
Since inviting you here now means that you have enough weight, please don't forget what I asked you to do before. "
"Don't worry, I will never go back on what I promised, but if you want to use this incident to plot against me, I promise you will not end well."
"I don't dare to fight with you anymore." The prince spoke in a sad voice.
Tu Fu shook his head and remained silent. After looking around, he didn't dare to use his own strength in the court.
Since he came here, there has been an extremely strong suppressing force, instinctively suppressing the power in him.
It seems that if I make a slight movement, the hidden supernatural power will immediately suppress me.
"I heard from the underground organization that there is a demigod-level existence in the palace, who is always guarding the safety of the royal family. It seems that the rumors are true. Could it be the black knight who appeared in the University of Michigan before?
At least one must not use extraordinary power in the court, lest the spirituality be leaked and reveal the identity. "
Tu Fu shook his head and thought about it.
"To be honest, I don't have much hope. In the past few days, many people in the House of Representatives and ministers have submitted applications to delay the time of the grand ceremony in order to implement the new law.
I'm afraid these are all Mr. Sorens' handwriting, no matter what you do, it's a pity that His Majesty still refuses. ’ murmured Prince William,
"He is such a king. Once he decides something, no matter whether it is right or wrong, he will always stick to it. No matter what anyone says, he can't change his mind.
Heh, even his own son is just a sad tool. "
Tu Fu frowned when he heard his words, "Your Highness, be careful."
"You're right... I said the wrong thing, the wrong thing."
After a wry smile, Prince William only looked lonely.
There wasn't too much conversation, and Friedrich didn't have the interest either. He was like a death row prisoner who was about to go to the execution ground, silently waiting for his own sentence.
I can only pin my hope on the fact that someone can escape on the way to the prison car, and then read aloud a crime of avoiding death.
Such a possibility is not impossible, but it can only be said to be very small.
After surviving the endless silence, time passed slowly,
second by second,
Before I knew it, it was exactly eleven o'clock.
After a long wait.
Finally, there was a sound of broken footsteps from the main hall, probably because the important meeting inside was over and the ministers dispersed one by one.
When Tu Fu heard the Chief of Palace Affairs call his name loudly, he immediately stood up.
He walked very slowly, his steps seemed heavy, but he followed his gaze step by step forward,
Even knowing,
Hell is ahead.
Still no hesitation.
