Chapter 1,323 Neuquen Imperial City

Lin would certainly take advantage of the help from the Leading Party. But it’s not like we can set off immediately after making an agreement with William, we have to make some preparations.

And it's not just two people going on the road, Lin also plans to bring a few elves to attack. After all, he has the status of being a chosen one of the Gold Goddess. If he had to do everything personally, it would be too much trouble. It is normal to bring some assistants to support the scene.

Besides, the first impression of communication between people is still based on appearance. Who the hell explores their inner world when they meet for the first time? It is possible to explore personal depths, strengths and weaknesses.

The momentum of two stick hammers running up to the palace to talk about something is completely different from that of leading a group of beautiful elves and setting up a grand show to talk about something. This is why those with power are very particular about this aspect.

At this time, it is not appropriate to bring your own apprentice to the scene. In the same sentence, there are not enough cards. After all, even their teacher was nothing in the eyes of such a behemoth as the Empire, let alone a mere magic apprentice.

Perhaps William Greco's 'Sword Master' is a rare title that can be obtained, but this is a guest of the Ikaruga Alliance! After meeting him, he was not kicked out by the imperial officials. It was considered that the officials were sincere enough.

Therefore, the elves Lin planned to bring must be the best of each wood elf tribe or elf kingdom. In the future, most of them will also become bank clerks stationed in the Imperial City of Karlsruhe. There is no need for someone to personally worry about such a candidate. The goddess and the World Trees can definitely select suitable talents.

On the one hand, with the development of banks now, everyone has noticed that clerks stationed in various places do not actually need much professional knowledge and skills. The only important thing is to be able to fight! Because most of the time, the clerks in banks are dealing with certain irrational emergencies instead of introducing financial products used for theft and deception with sweet smiles.

During the preparation time, Lin also asked William to find out more about the Karlsruhe Empire. Don't look at the forums that are full of information, but there is no such thing as a city travel guide!

If it's a map of some high-risk areas, the range of Warcraft activities, or the distribution range of rare plants and minerals, you can buy enough detailed information at most by spending a little money. However, "tourism" is not yet a mainstream activity in Lost City, so no one has made some introductions or focused introductions to a city.

Even if you try to use the forum index designed by Kaya to integrate scattered intelligence, you can't do what someone wants to see. Most of the hidden remarks are about certain private matters. What Lin wanted to know was an overall introduction similar to the content in a history book, but there was no such thing.

So when it comes to a new location, it’s really important that a local cog is willing to lead the way.

Unfortunately, William's impression of the Karlsruhe Empire was too old, and William could only describe its features of mountains and rivers. This is even more true for the Greco family. In an environment with many mountains and rivers, the Greco family runs a water transportation business.

According to William, in his impression, apart from carrying bags, the men in the family also fight. We often hear news that someone's boat was scuttled and people sank into the water. It doesn't necessarily happen at their home, it could be an enemy, a friend, or just a passerby who heard Tu's story.

That's why William couldn't guarantee whether his former family still existed after no contact for so long.

In fact, if a traveler compares the history of his hometown, it is not difficult to imagine where William's worries come from. Speaking of which, his family is like the Cao Gang. Although these two words seem to have been used throughout the entire history of Jiangnan, in fact, the composition of them has changed one after another.

As the saying goes: A person is not good for a thousand days, and a flower is not as red as a hundred days. There is also the fact that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. This kind of business that relies on hard work can be replaced too easily. That's why William would say that after such a long time, the family might no longer exist.

Even though there are forums as tools for convenient communication, it is not easy to confirm whether a person or a family exists without a specific contact method. Therefore, Lin had no way to make more confirmations or inquire for more information. Anyway, William has promised to follow him, so everything can only be done as the situation arises.

The preparation time is very short, mainly because the preliminary work has been completed, and everyone just packs their luggage. The more troublesome thing is that you have to make an appointment with the person on the opposite side before you can successfully enter the capital of an empire.

Don't look at the fact that the flash technique is very convenient and can go anywhere without any hindrance. In fact, it can be regarded as an illegal entry. Although the Lost Lands are primitive, and travelers such as adventurers and mercenaries can be seen everywhere, their movement is guaranteed by the Adventurer's Guild and the Mercenary Guild, and is permitted by the border checkpoint.

To understand it in terms of the earth's model, the two major guilds or guarantees from other places are like passports. The invitation letter obtained from Goddess Ke Yin is like an entry visa. Through these procedures, criminals with clear criminal facts can be prevented from moving across borders. But it's not very effective either.

When Lin entered the Armenian Elf Kingdom in the past, he deliberately sent a letter of introduction from the Atham Elf Kingdom at the border to pass the customs, and then he could successfully enter the royal city of the Armenian Elf Kingdom. Although it is troublesome and takes a lot of time to queue, doing so can avoid some unnecessary trouble. In any case, there was no basis for mutual trust between the two parties in the early stages.

Without these legal procedures, if you enter the country legally, you may be easily criticized in formal occasions. This may have a negative impact on the bank's promotion. So of course Lin must find a way to avoid it.

However, he didn't want to copy the procedure of entering the Elf Kingdom again, which was troublesome and time-consuming. Since the invitation is to the Goddess of Gold Coins, it shouldn't be too much for her messenger to enjoy some conveniences. Earth also has special clearance procedures for diplomatic envoys.

I didn't do it at first because I didn't have enough time. From the perspective of purpose, it was to plot against the World Tree to which the Elf Kingdom belonged, and it was a tactical use to show weakness first. But now it is to promote the bank. Not only does it rely on the face of the goddess of gold coins, but it cannot be compromised by the goddess's face. Don't do anything that shows too much weakness. As the saying goes, this time, that time.

After everything was connected and ready, Lin, William Greco and the selected elves appeared outside the north gate of Neuquen, the imperial city of the Karlsruhe Empire.

A total of sixteen people came from the elves' side, including men and women. There is no doubt about the appearance. The elf's beauty is natural, and there is no such thing as being crooked. Their strength cannot be underestimated either. As long as they have the right weapons and equipment, this squad of sixteen will have no problem defeating a human brigade of thousands.

But of course they who came as envoys couldn't come fully armed. Including Lin and William, everyone wore a suit and tie; the women wore narrow skirts that covered the hips and black stockings. Men wear leather shoes, and women wear high heels that are no different from walking on stilts.

Not surprisingly, these suits are all products of the World Tree brand, and have properties equivalent to those of the Elf Holy Robes. Compared with the saying "A suit is a necessary piece of armor for a gentleman", which in the Western world back home only expresses its connotation, World Tree's suits can really be used as armor, and can't be cut with a sword!

Of course stockings are not nylon products, and someone doesn’t have the technology tree in the petrochemical industry. For automobile-related oil refining, it only extracts gasoline and asphalt, the most basic products.

The stockings on the legs of the female elves are spider-shaped monster fabrics controlled by the World Tree boss. The reason why there is such a thing is because a certain time traveler suggested that something should be put on everyone's smooth legs to unify the appearance and also cover up the flaws on the skin. It can't be pants, it has to be tight-fitting clothing, preferably a little transparent.

Then all the spider-type monsters within the realm of the World Tree were captured and squeezed for silk...

As for weapons, due to the taboo of wood elves not to use sharp-edged weapons, they all hide a short wand in their suits. It is also a World Tree card. It is absolutely no problem to use it to cast spells, and it can be stabbed through just like it is used to stab someone! It can be said to be a good weapon suitable for both melee combat and magic.

Of course, Lin and William are not as particular as the elves. The suit on Lin's body was made of ordinary materials, while William's suit was specially made by Lin on the request of World Tree, in order to eliminate the shortcomings of the flash technique. We don’t have enough magic silk at home, so we really can’t spare it to help William make a set of clothes.

As for weapons, someone doesn't even bother to bring a wand when they go out now. Anyway, there are Haggiri clan who are always available when called, and there are various tricks to choose from, so it’s not a hassle.

And William has never thought about getting a new weapon since his side sword was cut off by Haggiri Insado during the sparring with Azad. Anyway, the sword master has more or less reached a realm that some people think is possible in martial arts, to the extent that flying flowers and picking leaves can hurt people. Therefore, if there is no sword, there is no difference.

Just such a group of strangely dressed people, including two humans and sixteen elves, suddenly appeared on the avenue at the entrance of the imperial city, which of course attracted everyone's attention.

However, the time and place where Lin and others appeared had already been notified to the people in the Karlsruhe Empire, as well as the composition of the members. So before Lin could see the environment clearly, someone had already come forward to greet him.

The Karlsruhe Empire is located south of the equator in the Midland, so this season for them is early autumn, and summer is not far away. The group of people who came forward were dressed in extremely exaggerated and cool clothes, decorated with all kinds of strange feathers. They were completely different from the calm and restrained style of the Gwana Empire.

Of course there is a leader and a deputy among this group of people. A person in the position of a follower, who should also be a noble, took the lead to come forward, greeting and introducing the person in charge beside him, and said: "Your Excellency, the great magician Gablash, I am Knight Ramiro. The person next to me is the person in charge. The minister who received the envoy of the Gold Coin Goddess and his entourage, Count Efron. I would like to send my greetings to you."

Lin and the rest of the group, except for William, responded with the etiquette of the goddess's faith. Finally, Lin Geng turned out the back of his right hand. The holy emblem belonging to the Goddess of Gold Coins appeared on the back of Lin's hand like a tattoo, and radiated with pure light, proving that the holder of the holy emblem was one of the chosen ones of the goddess.
