royal palace. Like a gigantic beast, it occupies Dongyue City. The tall city wall tells its majesty. After more than two thousand years of ups and downs, this ancient monster seems to have felt a little tired. Unlike the peaceful and peaceful people, the palace is filled with a chilling atmosphere, from His Majesty the Emperor, Down to the Forbidden Army guards, everyone's expressions looked extremely solemn. The place where His Majesty Joseph met Lin Dong was the meeting hall. This was the place where the Dongyue Empire held its highest-level meeting. The majestic and huge palace could accommodate ten thousand people. His Majesty Joseph specially met Lin Dong here. It can be said that he had good intentions. , the last time this place was opened solely for a guest was when the Emperor of the Qiuyue Empire visited. The word "interview" cannot accurately describe the scene at this time. The shuttle car Lin Dong took drove all the way to the door of the meeting hall. His Majesty Joseph was already waiting outside the door with an anxious look on his face. Behind him were Elder Peloso, Minister of Military Affairs Fang Dun, Minister of the Interior Sosby, Minister of Finance Joyner, the three giants of the family, plus the government trident. Such a high-standard greeting process obviously exceeded Lin Dong's deserved status. Lin Dong and Prince James, the patriarch of the Ian family, stepped off the shuttle together. They were thinking about what etiquette they should perform. After a moment of hesitation, they saw His Majesty Joseph striding up to Lin Dong and holding Lin Dong's hand. He was so excited. Beyond words. "Prince Lin, I've finally waited for you!" Joseph said excitedly. Lin Dong smiled awkwardly and said, "Good day, Your Majesty." After saying that, he had to kneel down. The etiquette of the Winter Moon Kingdom is not complicated. To see His Majesty, he needs to kneel down on one knee and perform a half-kneeling ceremony. Lin Dong has been doing this since he was a child. He has been taught a lot that "there is gold under a man's knees, and he must kneel to the sky and his parents," which now makes him somewhat uncomfortable kneeling in front of the emperor. Joseph grabbed Lin Dong and said, "Prince Lin, what are you doing? As a person appointed by the Holy King, your wishes are the wishes of His Majesty the Holy King." Lin Dong felt funny, "These people are so old to them. The ancestors are very respectful." The two of them exchanged a few polite words and walked into the main hall hand in hand. "Lin Dong, you have a lot of face. This emperor treats you very well. I'm almost touched." Gui Lao said in Lin Dong's consciousness. Lin Dong held his tongue and said, "He is acting for me. Does Corporal Li Xian understand? In the end, I am not asking you to sacrifice your life for him." "This is strange. How do I remember that you volunteered to help them? Is it possible? Did I remember it wrong?" Turtle Lao joked. Lin Dong reluctantly closed his mouth and stopped talking to Gui Lao. The introductions were completed and both parties took their seats. Lin Dong had no choice but to sit on the second highest seat closest to the emperor. Although Lin Dong felt a little uneasy in his heart, he didn't show it on the surface. He sat upright and behaved appropriately. His cultivation level was extremely high, and he looked very graceful when he raised his hands, making him look like an expert from this world. It seemed that Emperor Joseph and these important ministers couldn't help but secretly applaud Lin Dong's behavior. "As expected, he is the person chosen by the Holy King. He is upright and proud, neither humble nor arrogant. He should shoulder the great responsibilities of the world." His Majesty Joseph thought to himself. "Prince Lin is fighting against the gods and people in the Western Region. The story of his bravery to save the people of the Western Region has long been spread in the empire. Everyone praises Prince Lin as a hero of the world. He is brave and kind-hearted, and he leads the empire to fight against the gods and people. The best choice." His Majesty Joseph put a high hat on Lin Dong without saying anything. Others also praised Lin Dong for his bravery, and their words were full of praise, just like another hero commendation meeting. "Your Majesty, gentlemen, Lin Dong is a common man, and what he has done is even more insignificant. I wonder why he is anxious to summon Lin Dong?" Lin Dong asked. "Prince Lin, I wonder what your opinion is on the Holy King's decree?" His Majesty Joseph asked. Like Duke Zhaosagoros, Joseph was most worried about Lin Dong's unwillingness to serve the country. Since Lin Dong is willing to serve the country today, Come, to show that he is not averse to joining the empire. Joseph hopes to hear Lin Dong's answer with his own ears, so that he can feel relieved. Lin Dong thought about his words and said: "Your Majesty, the fact that the Holy King died is a misunderstanding. However, the people of the gods invaded the mainland and caused trouble to the people. As a citizen of the empire, Lin Dong should do his best. However, Lin Dong has little talent and knowledge, so he may not be able to do it. "It's a great help." His Majesty Joseph was slightly disappointed with Lin Dong's words, and thought, "At least Lin Dong didn't refuse, which is a good result." "Prince Lin, aren't you the one designated by the Holy King to activate the [Contract]?" "Who?" Prince James asked eagerly. He was already outspoken, but when he heard that Lin Dong said it was a misunderstanding, he immediately became anxious. Others also looked at Lin Dong with questioning eyes. Lin Dong smiled slightly and said: "By chance, Lin Dong once accidentally activated a [contract" left by His Majesty the Holy King?, I am honored to have a glimpse of His Majesty the Holy King. As for the Holy King¡¯s last words, I¡¯m afraid you may have misunderstood. "Prince James was still going to continue to ask questions. At this time, Elder Peloso coughed twice, indicating that he did not need to ask any more questions. Prince James had to stop there, "His Majesty still decides everything, so I have to worry more. "His Majesty Joseph's brows relaxed, with a genuine smile on his face, "Prince Lin is unparalleled in the world and is the perfect candidate to command the empire's millions of soldiers. I hope that Prince Lin will put the overall situation first in everything and immediately take charge of the Imperial Military Affairs Department. In order to take charge of the overall situation, and the enemy is at hand, please ask Prince Lin not to shirk. "The current Minister of Military Affairs, Marquis Fangton, frowned slightly when he heard this. "Isn't this an obvious way to ask me to step down? "Marquis Fangton has been in charge of military affairs for many years, and he is a good man in marching and fighting. Now he is really asked to give up the Ministry of Military Affairs. I feel a little unhappy, "I'm afraid it will be difficult to serve the public by letting this young boy preside over the Ministry of Military Affairs. I don't know how your Majesty feels. planned. ¡± The army is different from other departments. It is difficult to gain a foothold without military merit and prestige. When His Majesty Joseph sent Duke Ross to the Black Wind Valley Fortress, he was blocked by countless military bosses. Fortunately, Duke Ross took it upon himself to hold on. In order to shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending the Western Region, Duke Ross has finally gained a foothold in the military with the support of the Ministry of Military Affairs. Now, if he insists on pushing Lin Dong, who has no military qualifications, to the position of Minister of Military Affairs, I am afraid it will cause an uproar. Despite the small turmoil, there is no dispute within the family that Lin Dong is the designated candidate by His Majesty the Holy King, but it is not easy to convince everyone in the world that more than a year ago, His Majesty Joseph made Lin Dong a prince. , this incident has caused heated discussions in the streets, and even the fallacy that Lin Dong is the illegitimate son of His Majesty Joseph has been spread. "Your Majesty, marching and fighting is not Lin Dong's specialty, please take back your orders. "Lin Dong said. "His Majesty Joseph also felt that it was inappropriate to directly place Lin Dong in the position of Minister of Military Affairs, but he was anxious in his heart. The mainland was in danger, and Lin Dong was the person designated by the Holy King, so he should be placed there. What position? Do you really want me to abdicate? "Prince Lin, what do you think? "His Majesty Joseph asked. "Your Majesty, I do have some ideas of my own. I hope to join the Imperial Arms Bureau and do my best. Lin Dong said without humility. Weapons Bureau? Everyone was surprised. What effect could a man who His Royal Highness the Holy King said could change the world have on the war in the Weapons Bureau? War is a comprehensive consideration of a country's strength. Just make more A few sets of weapons cannot win the war. Lin Dong looked at the confused expressions of everyone and continued: "The empire's existing weapons are lacking in combat capabilities, and their combat methods are too simple. I have seen those gods, It is impossible to defeat them solely by relying on jammed weapons and cold weapons, so I hope to improve existing weapons to give the army stronger combat capabilities. " "Improved weapons? What a bold idea! "Everyone thought.
