MTL - Magic Tower Starry Sky-Chapter 1425 On the way to the banquet
How should a magician dress up when attending a noble banquet?
Answer: Generally, it is fine to dress up. Because high-level magic equipment, especially magic robes, will have a lot of magic effects, and usually have many magic accessories on it.
For example, exquisitely carved magic stones are as gorgeous as precious stones; or special silk threads are used to embroider magic patterns on the robes. It can be said that a sufficiently powerful robe will be more luxurious than the luxurious silk and down garments of nobles.
Conclusion: Magicians can wear robes to attend noble banquets, not because the robes are stylish enough, but simply because the robes are 'expensive' enough. Some robes are so expensive that the little nobles will be dumbfounded. So no one can say that it is quite rude to wear a robe to attend.
If there is any noble who dares to say something disgusting. It is estimated that you will get such a response: Come, come, try the old man's fireball to see if it is hot.
Therefore, it is no problem to wear robes to attend noble banquets. someone thought.
Although I am a voter of the Goddess of Gold Coins, I can wear a suit that is regarded as a bank uniform to go out, but it will also be regarded as a formal attire. —
If the robes of the envoy are despised by the nobles, think about the fate of the magician. This time, it might be the big boss behind the envoy who came forward and issued an oracle: Come, come, try to see if my holy light is bright.

— But this time, it can be regarded as a Hongmen banquet. Compared with the suit without any protection, the Xuanwu robe is more reassuring.
It's just that the Xuanwu robe doesn't pay attention to the divinity contained in it, just from the appearance, it's just an ordinary black robe. Even the basaltic patterns are woven with black threads and can only be seen from special angles under certain conditions.
Although he now wears a sakakiri, at most he wears the bead chain belt disguised by Kenmaru. Of course, it is impossible to bring the two murder weapons of Khan and Time Wheel into a banquet.
Although the danger of some noble banquets is no less than that of swords and swords on the battlefield. But there are still some basic requirements, such as not carrying weapons—or items that are clearly weapons—to the banquet. Because if there were no such restrictions, everyone would fight if they disagreed, and it would probably not be long before the lost nobles would disappear.
But in order to make the basalt robe not look so shabby, the box-cut sword **** separated a part, and arranged the formation of basalt seven constellations on the robe. It just happens to be embedded in the pattern of snake and turtle, which somehow conforms to a certain truth.
Of course, outsiders can't see that this formation originated from other worlds, and Lin didn't deliberately connect each constellation with a line. The result is that in the eyes of others, a certain magician is wearing a black robe, and there are metal beads dotted on the black robe. It looks...actually the same.
After thinking about it, Lin finally gave up the idea of improving his appearance. Anyway, this time it is said that participating in the noble banquet, in addition to the expected risks, I am not the protagonist this time, the empress is.
At best, he was just a guard, and he was not included in other people's calculations from the beginning. So no matter what you wear, no one should care about it.
Someone who thought so came to the door of the guest house and waited. When the pick-up carriage arrived, Lin showed a slightly surprised expression. This carriage is not the one used by the royal family before, but a more gorgeous emperor's carriage.
Despite the fact that there is only one word difference between 'royal use' and 'emperor's use', the degree of luxury and protective function between the two is completely different. However, the carriages used by the royal family can be used to receive state guests; but the carriages used by the emperor are not allowed to be used by anyone except the emperor.
Combined with the ostentation of the knights guarding the front and rear of the carriage, the only explanation is...
Behind the opened car door, the Empress smiled and waved to someone.
Sure enough.
Someone got into the car with peace of mind, and sat facing the empress. When he realized that he was the only guest, he couldn't help asking: "This is a formal banquet, right? Didn't the prince be invited?"
Prince Thomas, the queen's legal husband, is a standard accessory for public occasions. Although such a statement is very impolite, such superficial couples are not uncommon among nobles. Anyway, because of the combination of political interests, everyone plays their own way in private.
If it is a public occasion, usually bring the other half to avoid speculation about whether the alliance between the two parties has become weak. Every move of the nobles will be magnified and interpreted. That's why Lin asked this question.
But the empress just sat dignifiedly, stretched out her hands to wrap her hair around her temples, and said, "I really want to find him. It's a pity that if I didn't make an appointment a few days ago, or arrange the schedule early, I would It's hard to even meet him. Today's invitation is so sudden, it's normal to not find anyone. As for the perception of others, it can't be worse anyway, can't it?"
"But from my previous observations, it seems that this is not the case. He is quite jealous of the men who appear beside you. The reason why he is indifferent to you is that he wants to attract you, but And not wanting to be arrogant in this relationship."
"Tsundere performance? What do you mean?" The empress was puzzled by this inexplicable statement, so she asked. After Lin explained what Tsundere meant, she smiled instead: "No, haha, absolutely not like that. That man doesn't have any feelings for me, he just wants to get more from me."
"Get more?" Lin thought of a possibility and asked, "Could it be because you choked his money bag?"
With a sly smile, Alegria said, "Maybe that's right. Why did you guess so accurately?"
"There is a saying in my hometown that money is a hero's courage. If the financial power is seized by others, no matter how skilled you are, you can't do anything. It's just that you really held him tightly and didn't give him a penny?"
"How is this possible." The Empress smiled and said: "He still has a rule to withdraw. It's just that if he wants more, he can only start with me. Because there is no such opportunity, so for every man who approaches me , he will show that jealous attitude."
Seeing the empress' calm expression, Lin couldn't help asking again: "You and that one really don't have feelings anymore?"
Alegria did not answer directly, but talked about another matter. Said: "Do you know when I started to feel disappointed in that man?"
Although the topic turned a little stiff, Lin still followed the words and asked, "Since when?"
"From our wedding night, he patted his chest and assured me that I would just leave everything to him and I would not care about anything."
"Wow, that sounds pretty bad."
"Yes. Leave everything to him, and I don't have to worry about anything. I was just crowned emperor and I was in high spirits. He and his family couldn't help jumping out, planning to accept all these powers .Then the same thing happened one after another until I was completely disappointed."
After speaking at the beginning, Alegria seemed to be unable to vomit, and continued:
"At first, I thought that this marriage was a cooperation between the two parties. I didn't expect that they only needed me to be a woman, and then take over everything else. It seemed that I could do nothing but have children. However The real truth is funnier than that delusion because I can't even have a baby. Ha! Hahaha."
The laughter is full of heartache. Lin couldn't bear it for a while, and hugged him into his arms. The hysterical laughter stopped abruptly. After a long time, Alegria suddenly said: "It's ok, the makeup will be ruined."
Only then did Lin let him go. It's just that he hadn't thought of what to say to comfort him, and the Empress returned to the original topic before him. He fiddled with his hair and said, "Anyway, don't think that that man still has feelings for me. What he was looking at was just a woman wearing the emperor's crown, and wanted the scepter in her hand. As for who that woman is , is not important to him."
"Did that one not try to change this situation at all?" Lin asked.
"Although I know that in such an environment, looking for love is a very stupid thing. But if you can't even do the most basic reciprocity, then there is no basis for cooperation, isn't it? Even if it is just a transaction , You should also put forward a suitable bargaining chip. Instead of offering a small favor, just expecting others to return with pearls. So, I am very grateful to you."
Lin was caught off guard by this unexpected turn of events. But he still scratched his head and asked, "What are you grateful for?"
"For such a long time, you are the first one to help me. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"
"Impossible. Those partners of yours in the past, they didn't work as hard." Lin knew that the comrades-in-arms of the former warrior Ko Nuo now hold various positions in the empire. Not necessarily in a high position, but they are all key positions, and they work together to maintain the dignity of her emperor.
"I know, and I know very well. They are all trying to pull me, so that I will not fall deeper into the abyss. But this alone is not enough. If I want to climb out, I can't see a trace of them alone. Possibility."
When he said this, Alegria looked at the gradually dimming street scene outside the carriage, his eyes were a little empty. But when she turned her head and looked at someone, her eyes seemed to regain their expression, and the crystal lip color seemed to shine so brightly in a smile. "Your appearance gave me a little hope. This is something other people can't give me."
"Well, in fact, you should know that I am mainly doing the work of the goddess of gold coins, and I am just helping you by the way."
"Yeah, of course I know. But there are many partners you can choose to work with, and I won't be the most suitable one. But you still did it. Whatever the reason, I am very grateful to you. It's just me now , I can't give you anything in return."
Lin shook his head and said: "There is no need for any additional rewards. The smooth implementation of the bank of the Goddess of Gold Coins is my main purpose. You are willing to support this, and that is enough. What you should do now is to pay attention to Focus on what's next."
While someone was speaking, his gaze was outside the carriage, above Prince Behar's mansion. There is an ominous black cloud of power hovering over the mansion. This is a scene that ordinary people can't see, and generally speaking, the movement of authority can't explain anything. But this kind of swirling black cloud was the first time someone had seen it.
