Cthulhu descends

"My dear El Internal Affairs Officer, I see that your seal is black, and your luck is not going well! You should hurry up and express your heart to my beast of doom. It doesn't need much, [-] gold coins are enough."

The kitten in Li Xie's arms immediately raised its forelegs and stretched out a paw. Li Xie understood, and added: "Oh, there are one hundred bottles of fine wine!"

El's face turned into a bitter face, it wasn't Mercedes VII who asked him to give orders, he really didn't want to come to the Earl's Mansion!

"God of the earth!" After the last banquet, in order to eliminate bad luck and attract good luck, El had already expressed his heart. There is a problem, looking at Li Xie pitifully, the internal affairs officer Er forced his face bitterly: "My lord, can't the intention of the lower official last time bring good luck? How much intention does it take to have good luck? At least, don't have Bad luck! I haven't received any rewards recently, and my money is tight. I don't know my lord... I will write an IOU!"

Seeing how hard El was, Li Xie probably guessed that he really didn't have many gold coins on hand!It's no wonder others, but he can only blame himself for being too cruel last time!An internal affairs officer, a viscount with no fiefdom and little property. He doesn't have much family property. If he is rewarded by His Majesty, he can live happily for a while, but if he doesn't for a while, Elko will be in short supply.

But, Mercedes VII's orders to Li Xie are usually directly called to El to issue, and there are many opportunities to meet, so it is not easy to deceive this respectful little official too much!

This person is also an exquisite character, if you give him some benefits, maybe it will help you too.

Li Xie laughed generously: "What IOU? Just kidding, which one of us is with whom! I will unconditionally offer you 50 gold coins as a favor, and you are just waiting for good luck!"

"Really?"

"Have I lied to you?"

El's eyes lit up, excited!He only paid 50 gold coins last time, which is already a lot of his property. Unexpectedly, the evil duke paid [-] gold coins as soon as he opened his mouth!There are no conditions!God of the earth, praise our merciful and generous evil duke!

Hearing this, the kitten in Li Xie's arms raised its forelimbs, stretched out its little paws, turned its head and grinned at Li Xie: You are a favor, I must have more wine for this cat!

Li Xie understood what it meant, and felt very depressed, this damned alcoholic cat!Even Lao Tzu is cheated!

Of course, Li Xie won't care too much about Miaomiao's cheating. He only helped him earn 1000 million gold coins last time, and there will be more in the future. This kind of lucky cat will give it as much wine as it wants!

Pulling Er to sit on the sofa chair, Li Xie talked about the business in a serious manner: "My dear Comrade Er, the internal affairs officer, as a confidant of His Majesty, you should know something about His Majesty's meaning! You don't think His Majesty A cramp? Damn! Ask me to be a diplomatic receptionist? He thinks I know how to do this?"

Speaking of which, Li Xie, the grand duke of the dynasty and the vice president of the sacrificial courtyard, did not need to go to the court to listen to the government, and secondly, he did not need to go to the sacrificial courtyard to teach disciples. Mercedes VII was unprecedentedly lenient towards Li Xie.

However, Li Xie really couldn't understand why Mercedes VII suddenly ordered El to issue an order to ask Li Xie to be the diplomatic reception officer of some foreign mission, responsible for all matters of reception of the diplomatic mission!

As for the matter of the diplomatic corps, we have to talk about Duke Avril, and the time for Duke Avril to "retreat" is almost over, and most of the congratulations or interviews that can be rejected are mostly postponed, but there is news from the Four Great Empires and the Great Sun Dynasty , They have sent a mission to congratulate our Duke Avril on his promotion to the holy priesthood, and it is expected to arrive at the Tudor Dynasty within the next month.

The arrival of the missions of the Four Great Empires and the Great Sun Dynasty, all affairs are related to the face of the country, and a person with high morals, respect and status and who is familiar with etiquette is needed to receive the reception. Li Xie smiled and said nothing, but he is familiar with etiquette , Li Xie laughed a little bitterly!

Li Xie doesn't understand this at all, and Mercedes VII must know it too. This is clearly telling him to make a fool of himself and make a joke of him. Even, his joke may even spread to foreign countries!

What's more, the four great empires are not something that the Tudor Dynasty can afford, and the Great Sun Dynasty and the Tudor Dynasty are in conflict with each other. If one is not good, it may cause a war!

Li Xie didn't think he could bear this responsibility, so he had a lot of slander against Mercedes VII's decision!

El, standing next to him, was sweating coldly. He dared to say that Mercedes VII had a brain twitch. It is estimated that the entire dynasty was only the Grand Duke who behaved strangely!

But when it comes to generosity, our grand duke is also the most generous duke in the dynasty!

Er was still thanking Li Xie for his generous contribution to sacrifice the beast of doom, and quickly put on a smiling face: "Dear Your Excellency the Grand Duke, Your Majesty knows that you act boldly and carelessly, so this time, His Majesty ordered that His Majesty the Duke will be in charge of the Grand Duke." The direction and specific details can only be handled by the lower official, the diplomatic reception officer and the attendant department."

"Oh?" Li Xie raised his eyebrows. Doesn't the meaning of this mean that we should sit in a high position, pose, pretend to be aggressive, and then we don't have to do anything, just let El deal with it?Hey, it's thanks to Mercedes VII that he can sit back and enjoy the fruits of his life!Master Mian, please take back the curses I just gave to our lovely Majesty, he is so cute!Look at him, all the benefits are thrown at us!

Li Xie's attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees, and he laughed loudly: "So that's how it is! Your Majesty is really discerning. He knows that a person like me has always been an expert at grasping the most correct general direction! Well, I will reluctantly do this. Take it! Er, my dear attendant, do you have any other orders? For example, rewards and the like, you know, receiving foreign missions is very hard work, I am old... I It means that I have only recovered from a serious injury for a month, it is too hard for me, I have to express it."

El was in a cold sweat again, our grand duke really dares to brag!What His Majesty means is clearly knowing that you don't understand etiquette!The last one who worked hard should be me!

"Your Majesty didn't say anything about rewards, but I believe that if this matter is done well, rewards will definitely be indispensable! Thinking about it, Your Majesty has another sentence that I don't quite understand. My lord's intelligence is thousands of times higher than that of my subordinates. I can definitely understand what His Majesty means."

"Oh? What?"

Er imitated the appearance of Mercedes VII, with a majestic face, and said in a low voice: "Our evil duke will understand my king's heart, and he should also express my king's heart to our lovely mission. of!"

Ho!

Mind!

Li Xie thought that when a powerful country came to visit, their missions should come empty-handed, and then leave with a lot of wealth and riches, is it possible...

"Could it be that the foreign mission brought a lot of gold coins?" Li Xie asked immediately.

Al's heart broke into a cold sweat again, such an idiot question, well, it's because of our generous Evil Duke!Quickly replied: "In order to show their prominence and strength, the four great empires will inevitably bring countless gold coins and treasures with them, and the Great Sun Dynasty may not be less!"

Hey!

Li Xie seemed to see five horse-drawn carriages running over with five piles of gold!

The kitten in his arms opened its eyes, moved its ears, and let out a tired voice: "Meow..."

Li Xie understood Meow Meow's meaning, and then asked, "Where's the fine wine?"

Why does the evil duke love wine so much?

Er didn't know why, so he responded truthfully: "Wine is an important item for communication, and it must be indispensable!"

Hearing meow, he stood on Li Xie's left arm with a bang, which startled El!He also saw the right foreleg lifted up with a whoosh, and four sharp hooked claws flashed out with a whoosh.

Li Xie understood, hooked Meow Miao's paw with his right index finger, and shook it, one person and one cat, their eyes flickered, the right corner of their mouth was raised, revealing a small white fang, their faces were rotten, Treacherous smile!

"Meow..." This cat wants fine wine!

"Hey..." Gold coins and treasures belong to the Duke!

Seeing the strange light in the eyes of one person and one cat, El next to him shuddered violently!

Why does the appearance of the evil duke and the appearance of the beast of doom seem to be printed out of the same mold?My God, the Evil Duke has fangs!Could he be the incarnation of the beast of doom!I heard that powerful monsters can turn into humans...

"My lord, I have to go to report to the emperor, I will take my leave first."

"Hey, go slowly, come to my evil earl's mansion often when you have time."

"Yes, yes..." The Evil Earl's Mansion is too terrifying, with invisible pressure!Do not come when you are free!Never come!Al was so determined in his heart.

"Hey, don't run too fast, be careful, I saw Lily accidentally poured oil just now..."

"what……"

Tudor royal palace, royal study.

Mercedes VII was sitting with a smile on his face, and Harry Intel was standing aside. In front of Mercedes VII, El was reporting Li Xie's promise to be a diplomatic receptionist.

"Okay, go down and heal your injuries! You are usually calm, why did you fall so hurt this time while walking?"

El was in distress, and retreated while covering his forehead.

The left minister next to him said: "Your Majesty asked Duke Xie to serve as the diplomatic receptionist for this time. Sorry for my stupidity, I don't understand."

Mercedes VII smiled complacently: "It's so rare that Prime Minister Zuo can't understand! Prime Minister Zuo don't stand up, please sit down."

All the servants serving in the study were called out, Prime Minister Zuo could only move a chair and sit down, and said indifferently: "The arrival of the five-nation mission is an unprecedented crisis in our dynasty. If one is not good, it will be beyond redemption! Forgive me Your Majesty dares to take on the important task of being a diplomatic receptionist in the whole dynasty! Think twice, Your Majesty!"

Mercedes VII nodded, and said solemnly: "Duke Avril's leapfrog promotion, you and I didn't expect it. A descendant can make the dynasty rise, and a holy priest can do the same! It's a pity that this matter cannot be concealed. Now all the gods in the Continent know that my Tudor Dynasty has holy priests, and the most coveted one is the Great Sun Dynasty! Why did they send a mission this time? You and I know it well! Isn’t it to strengthen the right minister and the Pan Sen family? Humph! As for the Four Great Empires, they fought openly and covertly with each other, but most of them were small frictions. For a long time, they maintained a stable pattern. If a new empire rises, it will completely destroy this pattern! The Four Great Empires came here, nothing more than It's coaxing and threatening! These five countries all came with danger, if one step is wrong, the Great Sun Dynasty will attack the north, and the four great empires will even send troops to help!"

"Since your majesty understands, why did you ask the Duke of Xie to take up this important position? It's not that I look down on Duke Xie and let him be the diplomatic receptionist. I'm afraid that the four empires will not send troops to help, but directly send troops to Tudor!"
