Chapter 8: That's how the divine stick was born

  Li Xie was completely unaware that the man holding his hand, who called him brother, Marquis Laine, was thinking of killing him at this very moment!

  His attention has shifted to the man wearing a crown on the steps!

  That man who looks like he's in his thirties and has a radiant smile on his face!

  That's the emperor!

  It's easy, Li Xie can pick out who the emperor is from the hundreds of people present, if he can't see it, then he really needs to worry about his wisdom, after all, that sly man is wearing a crown and standing in the center!

  Similarly, Mercedes VII recognized at a glance that the young man in his early twenties, dressed in tattered clothes and with a messy hair, led by Marquis Rein, was the "Legendary Summoner"! Although he looked young, it is said that "Legends" have the art of preserving their youth, let alone others. Mercedes VII knew everyone's identity, so who else could this person be, looking more like a beggar?

  "No wonder I've never heard of him, he's indeed a freak! A legendary summoner, yet he dresses like a beggar!"

  Mercedes Seventh muttered a sentence, stretched out her hands and quickly walked down the steps, with a smile that was so familiar!

  Although he didn't declare Li Xie's legendary summoner identity to the civil and military officials, nor did he reveal Li Xie's identity to them, by having the civil and military officials welcome him, then having the Emperor personally descend from the throne to receive him, and then escorting Li Xie into the imperial palace, holding a grand banquet, was already enough to show the respect of the Tudor Dynasty and Mercedes VII for the legendary summoner!

  As Mercedes VII walked down, she didn't mention Li Xie's legendary summoner identity, and Duke Laine felt a bit relieved, otherwise this misunderstanding would have gotten too big. But, how to deal with what comes next? The upcoming hand-in-hand entry into the palace is going to spark imagination!

  Marquis Lai's mind was racing, trying to come up with a response, when suddenly Li Xie knelt down on both knees, slapped the ground with his hands, and bowed his head, shouting: "Your humble subject Li Xie pays homage to Your Majesty, wishing you ten thousand years of life, ten thousand years of life, and ten million years of life!"

  Li Xie had watched TV and read books, so he knew how to pay respects to the emperor. At least he could learn from the TV dramas and do it in a proper manner! And he wouldn't refuse to kneel because of his pride, at least in his mind, a scavenger like him should naturally kowtow to the emperor, there was no issue of self-respect.

  He didn't know that this one kneel would cause a huge stir, but also solved a big problem for Marquis Rhein!

  Li Xie knelt down, and the surrounding drums and music suddenly stopped. The civil and military officials were all stunned at once.

  Long live?

  What is this etiquette?

  I've never heard of it! But it seems to be a real thing! What is this little beggar doing? By the way, how did he end up in the same carriage as Marquis Rhein? It can't be that Your Majesty is going to welcome... this beggar?!

  What's this beggar doing here?

  The people present were filled with curiosity, shock, confusion and doubt... Their eyes, filled with a thousand thoughts, all fell on Li Xie's body!

  Mercedes VII, who had hastened to Li Xie's side and was about to take his hand in a gesture of utmost respect, also stopped dead in her tracks!

  He wasn't puzzled by Li Xie's etiquette, nor was he guessing at Li Xie's identity. Instead, he realized that this person wasn't the legendary summoner!

  Because of legendary summoner, it is absolutely impossible to kneel down to an emperor of a dynasty!

  The emperor has the majesty of an emperor, and a legend has the pride of a legend! Although one is Your Majesty and the other is Your Highness, however, Your Majesty is the respectful title that the people within the imperial court use to address the emperor. While Your Highness is the respectful title that all people under heaven use to address a legend! Among them, the status of a legend is even higher than that of an emperor, how can they possibly kneel down?

  Even if this person's behavior is eccentric, it's impossible for him to kneel down!

  Then it can be confirmed that this beggar is not a legend!

  If it's not a legend, why did Marquis Rein send such a message?

  Marquis Chierlein of the Seventh Dynasty of Mercedes cast a questioning gaze: You're deceiving the Emperor and all the civil and military officials!

  Marquis Rhein let out a bitter laugh and responded with a gloomy gaze: It's all that bastard Cano!

  However, Marquis Rein reacted quickly. Li Xie's kneel at least dispelled many people's speculations about him! He hastily followed suit and knelt on one knee, shouting loudly: "Commander of the Crazy Lion Army, Rein Kevin pays his respects to Your Majesty! I, your humble subject, failed to bring the person you wanted to see this time. It is my fault, please punish me, Your Majesty!"

  The Marquis of Rhein's words ignited a fierce atmosphere, and everyone present listened intently, suddenly realizing that the person Mercedes VII was supposed to welcome was someone else, but the Marquis of Rhein couldn't invite him over. That little beggar was probably just an extra gift.

  "Haha, never mind, never mind, please get up." Mercedes VII understood the meaning of Marquis Laine and laughed loudly in agreement. At the same time, he bent down to help Marquis Laine up, but whispered in his ear: "What's going on after all!"

  "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Duke Marquis loudly thanked and said in a mosquito-like voice: "Shen Lin Ti!"

  Divine Body!

  Mercedes VII's pupils contracted, shining brightly! As the imperial monarch of the dynasty, in an instant, he understood the meaning conveyed by these three words! With a sidelong glance at Li Xie, Mercedes VII calmly straightened up the Marquis of Rhein and patted off the dust on his body, seemingly showing his affection for his minister like a son, but in reality, he was concealing the agitation in his heart!

  Divine Body, born with an unparalleled affinity for divine light, can bear the divine light of the gods without harm, even that of the main god! Also able to more easily invoke the descent of divine light and even have the gods descend in person!

  Divine embodiment also means that it will eventually become a divine master, and can upgrade the level of demonic pets to the existence of divine pets!

  After all, the divine body is not a divine master, but it's much easier to control than a legendary or divine master! Moreover, the legendary summoner settling in the imperial capital only has a deterrent effect on other countries, and in fact, it cannot be used for conquest at any time! However, if the divine body advances to become a divine master, it can help the country's magic pets upgrade their levels and overall enhance national combat power!

  A simple metaphor, a legendary summoner is like an atomic bomb, with deterrent power but not necessarily usable or dare to use! While the divine body is like a genius scientist, who can study and invent many things, even manufacture atomic bombs!

  Mercedes VII is excited because the value of a divine vessel far exceeds that of a legendary summoner!

  Li Xie, still kneeling on the ground, narrowed his eyes and stared at these two men with infinite baseness!

  The three words were spoken in a very low voice by the Marquis of Rhein, perhaps only Mercedes VII could hear them, others would definitely not be able to hear them, even Li Xie who was standing right next to them might not have been able to hear. However, Li Xie was a vampire and his senses were much sharper than those of ordinary people, so he heard the three words clearly!

  However, he did not learn about the information of Shen Lin Ti from Kano's mouth, so he didn't know what Shen Lin Ti was. Nevertheless, Li Xie had his own plan in mind.

  "Look at these two whispering to each other, they must be having an affair! What is a Divine Vessel? Looking at the emperor's attitude towards me, I should have already known that I'm not some legendary summoner. That guy Lain probably knew it early on too, and he called me brother, probably because I'm a Divine Vessel or something! Hmph! The name sounds like it has to do with gods, is it because I pretended to be the Earth God's vessel and they thought I was someone related to gods? Heh heh, being related to gods should mean no danger, this country's faith isn't something to be trifled with. This time, I'll have to pretend to be a divine expert!"

  Mercedes VII calmed down the excitement in her heart, holding Reinhardt's hand and walking towards the direction of the bedroom, while instructing: "The person I want to meet hasn't arrived yet, you can disperse. Hmm, change the lunch to dinner, I have something to announce, Right Minister, you arrange it. Left Minister, follow me."

  Marquis Rhein received the command from Mercedes VII and handed it over to him, turned around and pulled Li Xie's hand up, laughing: "My brother, come together."

  A few people entered the bedroom, ordered those around them to withdraw, and then directly entered the inner chamber.

  Marquis Rhein, Mercedes VII, and Left Minister Haryo Intell all looked at Li Xie in unison.

  Li Xie had just arrived, and now he was facing the highest leadership of the Tudor dynasty again. The aura that these three people had cultivated for a long time made Li Xie feel uneasy for a while, and he was a little intimidated, especially by those three pairs of eyes that stared at him, making his heart skip a beat.

  "Kevin, it's time you explained what's going on." Zuo Xiang was one of the few people who still didn't understand.

  Marquis Lai smiled: "This has got to be said about my divine brother Li Xie!"

  "Divine physique!" The calm and composed eyes of the Left Prime Minister finally showed some movement, his gaze at Li Xie suddenly burning with intensity!

  Li Xie looked at Zuo Xiang's expression and roughly guessed that Shen Lin Ti was not so simple, and even for them, the Tong Wang Dynasty was very important. He had some reservations in his heart and his timidness decreased a bit. He raised an eyebrow and said: "Your Majesty, how can I say it? I am also a Shen Lin Ti, but to be honest, I don't know what Shen Lin Ti is. However, my requirements are simple - whoever treats me well, I will definitely treat him well too."

  Mercedes VII didn't feel disgusted by Li Xie's beggar appearance, her eyes were as hot as Zuo Xiang's, and she smiled: "Do you know what kind of person can enter this secret room?"

  "High position and heavy power?" Li Xie glanced at Marquis Laine and guessed.

  Mercedes VII smiled: "Being able to enter this secret room means that he can know all the secrets of the dynasty, and can also influence the direction of the dynasty. Moreover, he can gain the absolute trust of the king! And now, you are in this secret room! By the way, currently only three people have entered this secret room, the three people you see."

  Wow!

  In other words, whoever can enter this secret chamber is the real ruler of the dynasty!

  And what does the Emperor mean, will I be the fourth person?

  My god! Are you kidding me?!

  Li Xie's heart was pounding rapidly, and he asked weakly: "Is all of this because I am the Divine Vessel?"

  "That's right!" Mercedes VII also didn't hide, laughing: "The Divine Body is the most special physique in the Gods' Continent, it is an existence that will inevitably become a God-ordained Master! To be honest with you, you are the Divine Body! My intention is simple, you serve me, I'll help you achieve becoming a God-ordained Master! As long as you're sincere, whatever you want, I can give it to you! What do you think?"

  For the divine body, Li Xie was still not very clear, but he knew that the god descended, it was the highest level that could be reached by sacrifice! And in Li Xie's eyes, sacrifice was just a divine stick. Upon hearing this, he couldn't help but exclaim: "You want me to become a great divine stick? Alright! I like it!"
