Chapter 7: The Birth of the Divine Stick

  "Legend? Which legend? Lucas? Shayes? Or McHael?" Mercedes VII gathered his joy, shifting his attention to the legendary summoner, a legendary one who suddenly visited, or a legendary summoner who helped Reinhardt's familiar level up. Is there another article in this?

  Zuo shook his head slightly: "Neither of them, his name is Li Xie, I've never heard of this person before, he should be a legendary figure who has been in hiding for a long time."

  "Li Ze?" Mercedes VII repeated the name that was crucial in the history of Tudor dynasty, frowning slightly. "What did he come to the Imperial City for?"

  "News from Marquis Rhein, this legendary figure is highly likely to settle in our dynasty!"

  "Settled?!" Mercedes VII's voice suddenly rose several decibels: "Really?!"

  The meaning of settling down is, as the name suggests, living in the imperial capital. And for a legendary settler, it has a deeper meaning - he will serve the dynasty!

  The strongest of the four major empires, Anjou Empire, was able to establish its current status because a legendary summoner once settled in the imperial capital. It is also because this legendary summoner took on an apprentice in the imperial capital that the Anjou Empire now possesses the only tenth-tier magical creature in all human nations!

  A legendary settlement, the significance of which is far more profound than Randolf's promotion!

  Therefore, Mercedes VII was somewhat unbelievable, and did not dare to believe that a legendary figure would come to settle in the Tudor dynasty, a country that could not yet be called an empire!

  "Kevin's sincerity, Your Majesty need not doubt. And his subordinate, Kano, will probably only report back exactly as Kevin instructed him to, so this matter is absolutely true!"

  Left Prime Minister's words, like a heavy bomb, exploded on the face of Mercedes VII, bursting into a brilliant wild chrysanthemum!

  "Haha, haha......" Within a short period of time, two great pieces of news made Mercedes VII somewhat ecstatic, his face muscles twitching with laughter, and he couldn't help but dance with joy, laughing wildly.

  Compared with Mercedes-Benz's excitement, Left Rear Harry Inter's expressionless face seems a bit inhuman.

  "Hmm... " The Left Minister cleared his throat twice as a reminder to Mercedes VII.

  Although there were only two people in the secret chamber, it was unbecoming of an emperor to be so frantic.

  "Hahaha... My old Hari, you don't need to remind me, I've been restraining my emotions every day. With such great news, shouldn't I be happy? Just between you and me, let me indulge in joy for a while longer! Haha! The legend will settle in our dynasty! This is the hope of our dynasty! The hope of achieving imperial dominance!"

  The left eye flashed with an unbecoming affection, yet did not continue to stop Mercedes VII.

  Half a moment later, Mercedes VII finally vented his pent-up emotions and regained his usual dignity. He looked at the left prime minister and said: "Since the legend is coming to settle down, should I announce it to the world? On the one hand, it will enhance the status of our dynasty; on the other hand, it will also intimidate the 'Great Day Dynasty' in the north that is eager to move!"

  Zuo Xiang fell silent for a moment before responding, "The message from Kevin only mentioned that it's possible he'll settle down, but it's not certain. It depends on our performance and whether we can keep this legendary figure here! Since this legend was previously unknown to the world, he probably doesn't like to make a big show of things. Let's spare the grand announcement for now and just temporarily keep him here. If he decides to settle down, it won't be too late to announce it to the world then!"

  "What does your lordship think should be done?"

  "Act with low profile, but cannot fail to show our dynasty's respect for him. Therefore, your humble servant thinks that we should receive him in the imperial palace with the highest protocol, and as for outside the palace, temporarily do not spread the news."

  Mercedes VII nodded: "Mm, this matter is left to you, and whether this legendary figure will settle or not is still uncertain. Remember to keep Lord Randolf's promotion a secret!"

  "Your humble servant understands."

  "Uh-huh, you go prepare then, and think about how we can leave our legendary summoner behind!"

  "Yes!"

  If Li Xie knew that he was not only mistaken for a legend, but also mistaken for a divine body, and now even regarded as the hope of the empire by Mercedes VII, I wonder what he would think!

  I don't know if I should quote a sentence from "The Analects of Master Sleep" to illustrate this - Master Sleep once said: Great misunderstandings are often the result of some self-proclaimed clever people's self-righteousness, and deification is often born out of misunderstanding, only to be put on a pedestal by those same self-proclaimed clever people!

  Then, we can imagine that the first great god stick in the history of Doudou Wang Dynasty is about to be born under the misunderstanding of Reine Hou Jue, the transmission of Cano's tendon, and the ambition of Mercedes VII!

  What about our stick?

  "Hahaha... Marquis Rhein, my brother! You actually have three wives! Awesome awesome!"

  Li Xie hugged the shoulders of Marquis Laine and laughed loudly.

  These days, a group of people have been on the road, Li Xie thinks he has caught a big fish and is making every effort to get close to Duke Laine. And Duke Laine, in order to keep this god-like physique in his eyes, is also trying every means to please him.

  This is what they call a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse!

  So, the two of them cast aside their age and status, and were now addressing each other as brothers! The Marquis of Rhein also stopped riding his warhorse and instead got into Li Xie's carriage, and the two began a passionate life together in the "carriage".

  "Your Excellency, my brother! A man values his career above all else. If not, why stop at three wives? I could marry thirty and still be a marquis!" The Marquis of Rhein handed the wine bottle to Li Xie: "Come, drink!"

  "Haha... Cheers!"

  Li Xie's heart is filled with beauty at this moment. The big fish by his side can't escape, and a wonderful life is not far away?

  Especially, the mainland of gods is not monogamous! This makes Li Xie even more infatuated and YY infinitely!

  "Right, brother, we've been walking for ten days now, at our speed, how come we still haven't reached the capital?"

  "Hurry up, brother, we've already entered the Imperial City and are now heading towards the Imperial Palace."

  "Arrived? Then I'll take a look at the Imperial Capital, by the way, I've never been to the capital despite being so old!" Li Xie said, and was about to pull open the window curtain to take a look at the Imperial Capital of the Doudou Wang Dynasty.

  "No, no." Marquis Rein hastily stopped him, looking up and down at Li Xie, and said with a smile: "Li Xie, my brother, you are now a public figure. Look at your current attire, although you don't mind it, but it's inevitable that it will damage your public image, especially the influence on the women in the Imperial Capital. It's better not to show up like this. Wait until we enter the palace and see His Majesty. I'll have someone dress you properly then, and only then will you be worthy of the legendary Summoner's identity!"

  Marquis Laine didn't want people to know that Li Xie, who was about to become a Divine Envoy, had been in the same carriage as the commander of the Crazy Lion Army, which would have attracted attention and speculation from certain individuals. That's why he said those words, and by doing so, Marquis Laine also made sure that Li Xie would listen. Over the past few days, Marquis Laine had roughly figured out Li Xie's personality - a bit clever, but loved to boast and had a strong sense of vanity!

  Indeed, Li Xie has been picking up trash for a long time and it's impossible for him to suddenly jump out of his life habits and temperament. At least, beneath his smiles, he can't hide his inferiority complex, which gives him a strong sense of self-respect. This contradictory personality also gives him a stronger vanity, hoping for others' recognition and admiration, and naturally paying attention to his own image.

  Before picking up scraps, there was nothing to be proud of, but now I've finally caught a big fish. This tattered outfit I wore while picking up scraps can't be seen by others.

  "Haha, big brother is right, little brother should pay attention. I won't show my ugly face for now, let me put on some makeup first before meeting people. Hmm, you said meet the emperor, are we going to see the king?"

  "That's right, you will see the monarchs of the Tudor dynasty - Mercedes VII!"

  "Huh! I've never seen an emperor before! As the saying goes, 'accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger', one misstep and you'll lose your head. Do your emperors have such rules?" To be honest, Li Xie was a bit worried about meeting the emperor.

  "Is traveling with Your Majesty like traveling with a tiger?" Marquis Laine gazed at Li Xie in surprise, chewing on this common saying that described the relationship between ruler and subject so aptly. He hadn't expected to hear it from a swindler's mouth! After his initial shock, Marquis Laine didn't take it too seriously either, laughing as he said: "Don't worry, His Majesty is kind-hearted and wouldn't randomly chop off heads."

  At this time, the sound of drums and music had already come from outside, and after a while, the carriage stopped. The guard opened the curtain and said: "Sir, we have arrived."

  Marquis Laine heard the sound of drums and music outside, his brow already furrowed, pulling Li Xie down from the carriage. What he saw left Marquis Laine stunned on the spot!

  What's going on!

  Only outside the main hall of the imperial palace, Mercedes VII wore a magnificent robe, with a golden sash draped over his shoulder, a crown on his head, and a scepter in hand, smiling brightly at those below. The left and right prime ministers stood formally dressed on either side.

  Down the steps of the platform, the officials of the royal court were lined up in two rows. At the bottom of the steps, next to the stone road leading to the palace gate, the ceremonial team blew horns and beat drums, what a lively scene!

  Isn't it said to keep a low profile and not let others know?

  What went wrong?

  Marquis Rhein's mouth twitched at the corner, and he found Kano's figure in the crowd, casting a murderous glance at him!

  Due to his understanding of Cano, Marquis Rhein immediately thought of the reason for this situation! It must be that Cano did not mention that Li Xie was a fake legendary when reporting to Zuo Xiang, in order to prevent Li Xie's "legendary" identity from being exposed! And Marquis Rhein believed that Zuo Xiang knew how to handle it, so he didn't explicitly instruct him to secretly meet with Li Xie. On the other hand, Zuo Xiang did not know that Li Xie was a fake and thought he was a legend, which led to this grand welcoming scene!

  "The God of the Earth is above! That damned Cano!" The Marquis of Rhein was so angry that he wanted to rush over and beat Cano up right now, but thinking that Cano was also wholeheartedly carrying out his orders, he felt helpless in his heart.

  But how can we wrap up the current situation?

  "This is the highest etiquette of the Dordogne dynasty to welcome distinguished guests! Can't it cause countless speculations? Especially, if Your Majesty calls Li Xie 'Your Highness' later, who can still not know that Li Xie is a legend? Once someone finds out that there is no magic or aura fluctuation on Li Xie's body, then thinking about it again, the secret of Li Xie's divine physique cannot be kept! Can't it cause various countries to compete for him?"

  "Kano a Kano!" Marquis Laine's mind was in disarray, with thoughts flashing through his brain one after another, finally settling on killing Li Xie!

  Once the secret of Li Xie's divine body is exposed, the four major empires will inevitably come to seize it. The Tudor dynasty is currently powerless to resist the attack of the four major empires and can only surrender obediently with both hands. Rather than enriching the four major empires, it would be better to destroy Li Xie directly. Since this divine body has never appeared before, the 9th-level demon pet Lando will also become a hope for the rise of the dynasty!
