Chapter 84 Meeting the Princess Again
With 5 minutes left in the countdown, Su Yu arrived at the entrance of the Plantagenet Palace.
The princess's guard, Kelderon, was wearing a brand new silver armor and had 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, the princess asked me to meet you here. I will take you in now."
"Okay, lead the way."
Su Yu followed Kelderon and walked into the palace.
"Ding! Your main storyline has been updated! [The Glory of the Plantagenet Empire (8/100)]."
"Task requirements: Participate in the 'Maple Leaf City Negotiation Preparation Meeting'."
"Task reward: Experience points X300."
As soon as Su Yu saw the reward for this task, he knew that this task must be easy.
300 experience points, it must be a formality task, so he didn't take it seriously.
Walking on the road in the palace, Su Yu chatted with Keldron while opening the [First Person Holographic Perspective], intending to record the plot of the 8th ring.
In fact, he wanted to record Tina's plot line. After all, this is a precious main plot, and many people will definitely be willing to watch it if it is recorded.
But considering some small interactions between him and Tina, he gave up.
The 8th ring of the princess line is a cutscene mission without fighting, and it will not reveal anything, so Su Yu plans to record it to make a little 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 was still the hall last time.
After entering the hall, Su Yu found that the hall was full of ministers, nobles and senior officers.
Princess Alice looked serious and sat on the throne.
In her arms, she held a blue and white kitten with starlight all over her body. I don’t know what breed it is.
At this time, the kitten was lying in the princess’ arms, squinting his eyes and taking a nap.
The seventh-level shadow priest [Xifan] sat on the seat on the side of the hall, with black air all over his body, and his face could not be seen.
Although Su Yu was a senior scholar, his status was 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 deployment.
For example, when will the reinforcements and food from Orlan City arrive in Forest City;
Another example is to propose to His Majesty the Emperor to change the conscription system to the recruitment system to adapt to the new war situation.
Su Yu was not very concerned about these, and just listened to it.
Five minutes later, the princess got to the point and began to talk about the upcoming trip to Maple Leaf City.
"This time, I will go to Maple Leaf City with Advisor Xifan to negotiate with Duke Anzu Saifu. Isaac, Ian."
"I am here."
A minister and a general in armor stood up.
"Isaac, you will take charge of the internal affairs of the imperial capital during my absence;
Ian, the city defense forces in the city will be handed over to you, remember not to anger the northern rebels."
"Understood!" Ian, the general of the city defense forces, immediately knelt on one knee and answered respectfully.
The internal affairs officer named Isaac frowned: "Your Highness, I still think you should not easily enter the enemy's hinterland. This road is quite dangerous. If you have any mistakes on the road."
"Do you have a better way?" The princess interrupted him coldly.
"No, no."
"Then do as I say." Princess Alice closed her eyes slightly: "This negotiation is to promote the division of the river with the rebels along the Glowing River. If the negotiation is successful, the name "Golden Broom" will not 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 on the north side is almost the same as that on the south side, and the imperial capital Plantagenet City is also located on the Glowing River.
If the negotiation succeeds, the royal family and the Kalet rebels will rule by dividing the river, and the Plantagenet Empire will be divided into two, becoming the "Southern Plantagenet Empire" and the "Kalet Empire".
But can the negotiation really succeed?
Su Yu looked at the task bar and there were more than 90 tasks left, and shook his head slightly.
The southern royal family was unwilling, and the northern rebels were ambitious. The two major forces were bound to fight to the death.
The princess went to Maple Leaf City for negotiations this time just to buy time for the rear.
In the next meeting, the princess and the ministers mainly discussed the time for the negotiation.
The princess's guards will take some time to prepare, so the departure time is set at 7 days later.
7 days later, the princess will take Xifan and the guards to Maple Leaf City.
Su Yu did not have a 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 line has been updated! [Glory of the Plantagenet Empire (9/100)]."
"Task requirements: Please arrive at the gate of the Plantagenet Palace on time in 14 hours and follow the princess to Maple Leaf City. Countdown 13:59:58."
"Task reward: Experience value X800."
"Alas! Waiting for the task again." Su Yu sighed slightly.
The plot of Tina's line is high-intensity monster slaying, and the princess's line is "wait and wait", which is really a bit boring.
Looking at the time, it is now 12 o'clock in the middle of the night.
Su Yu planned to log off and go to bed after leaving the palace.
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 main hall, Su Yu met Princess Alice again.
But he has now turned off the first-person perspective.
This courtyard should be the princess's private residence, and there are many maids coming and going around.
"Kei Xing, 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 process, and the end will inevitably fail." Su Yu took the tea handed by the maid and took a sip:
"We have an old saying, 'If you can't get it on the battlefield, you can't get it at the negotiation table.'"
"Ding! You drink [Pandaren Tea Drink], experience +50. (Only valid for the first time)"
"This sentence makes sense." The princess nodded slightly.
"Kei Xing, as a scholar specializing in prophecy, I want to hear your prediction. Will I be in danger during this trip to Maple Leaf City?"
The princess looked at Su Yu seriously.
Ever since Su Yu accurately told her true thoughts last time, Alice knew that Su Yu was very unusual.
So when she was undecided about the trip to Maple Leaf City, the first person she thought of was Nemesis, and she wanted to hear his opinion.
"According to my calculations." Su Yu closed his eyes, his face became particularly serious: "You will encounter two dangers on this trip to Maple Leaf City."
"Twice?!"
"Yes, once when you go there, and once when you come back."
Su Yu opened his eyes, his eyes looked particularly deep: "If you want to break the situation, I can give you a suggestion."
"What suggestion?"
"You can use the power of players, no, adventurers from other worlds."
