I live in the game

Chapter 84 The Emperor and the Elector

"Why are you wearing the clothes of Athos!"

"How do you drink the milk of Porthos!"

"Why are you with Aramis' mistress?"

Accompanied by Athos' inquiry, Shao Dalong inexplicably recalled the first words they said to him when they first met Porthos and Aramis.

Doesn't this game have an achievement system? I've achieved the achievement "Interrogation by the Heads of the Three Great Knight Orders", why haven't the system prompts popped up?
"Aramis was writing novels in the library of Alexandria. I received a letter from Portos and rode back to find you on his Rebecca." Shao Dalong quickly explained.

Athos frowned noblely.

WTF?

Aramis let His Majesty and our pigeons go to write novels?

Okay, after all, it's Aramis, so it's not surprising to do anything. What about you, you said you came back to find me, so you came to the house of Aramis' mistress?
Aware of Ados' confusion, Shao Dalong pointed to Tianma who was drinking water by the fountain in the garden, and said, "She brought me here."

Athos understood instantly.

"You go to the first floor and wait for me." After leaving these words, Athos drove the flying dragon to the direction of the stable.

He really wanted to directly lift Shao Dalong onto the back of the dragon, but since he arrived at Duke Scheverus' mansion, he had to come and say hello to the master, otherwise it would be too rude.

Sheds have been erected next to the stables of the Ducal Palace for the use of guests on large horses.

Athos planned to stop the dragon, and then enter through the main entrance according to the formal visiting procedure, which is dignified for nobles.

Shao Dalong left the balcony and returned to the house, and saw the Duchess of Chevres also coming out of the salon with a dignified expression, as if she was about to receive distinguished guests.

Apparently the servant had informed Athos of his visit.

"My lord Athos should have come here immediately after hearing that you were here. I still underestimated the importance of you in the heart of my lord." The Duchess Chevres said with a smile.

Just as Shao Dalong was about to answer, someone suddenly passed him by, walked towards the Duchess, stood beside her, and raised his right forearm.

It was a middle-aged man with black hair and gray eyes, deep-set eye sockets, a high nose bridge, and an expressionless face.

If he hadn't seen his status bar, Shao Dalong almost didn't realize that there is still Duke Chevres in the mansion!

He couldn't help but feel a little guilty, after all his brother stole his wife, and now that the real master has appeared, he feels it's normal to panic.

There was a smile on the Duchess's face, and her jade hand hooked the Duke's forearm. The two went downstairs together to meet Athos.

This smile was completely different from when she was talking about Aramis or explaining super magic items.

Fake, emotionless, like a mask glued to your face.

Suddenly, Shao Dalong felt a little sad for her.

It is clear at a glance that their marriage has no love and no blessings, but a bondage of interests.

The aristocratic circle of the Tricolor Empire is similar to the European Middle Ages. Men have mistresses, and women have lovers. They know each other, and no one will pierce the window paper.

At the end of the day, it's not love, it's politics.Because there is no love, and it is impossible to have love, love is used as a substitute.

The so-called chaos in the noble circle is probably the case.

Don't look at the duchess's father who gave her five super magic items as a dowry, and he probably dotes on her on weekdays, but if he really loves his daughter more than power, why would he use her as a tool for political marriage?
Shao Dalong collected his thoughts and followed the two of them.

A group of people came downstairs and waited in front of the door. Following the servant's announcement, Ados entered the hall with vigorous steps.

The two hosts greeted him first and greeted him, and the other guests also greeted Athos one by one according to their status.

On weekdays, Shao Dalong was used to calling Ados Ados, and he didn't even know where to throw the word "Master". Only now did he deeply realize how big Ados is in the Three-Color Empire. cards!
This is the head of the three major knights, one of the seven electors!

The so-called electors, as the name suggests, have the power to choose the emperor. When the throne changes, all the electors must be elected, and the successor to the throne must be selected from the emperor's heirs.

This is a enfeoffment system that greatly weakens imperial power.

The seven electors are further divided into three church electors and four secular electors. Athos, Porthos, and Aramis all belong to the latter, representing the feudal aristocracy and fighting against the power of the church .

It took Ados half an hour to deal with all the guests, and he said goodbye to the Duke and Duchess of Chevres: "Dada has been taken care of by you, I still have some things to deal with, so I will take him away first .”

"Mr. Dada's humorous words have added a lot of interesting topics to my wife's salon. I am looking forward to the next evening where Mr. Dada will have the honor to attend." Duke Scheverus said politely.

Shao Dalong couldn't help but startled.

Is he implying to himself that even if he doesn't show up, he knows everything that happened in the mansion?
However, Shao Dalong still replied politely: "Thank you, Lord Duke, for your hospitality. I will definitely do it next time."

"Okay, if you don't come, I will complain to you." The Duchess returned to her normal tone, and waved goodbye to Shao Dalong.

Shao Dalong followed Ados out of the mansion and walked towards the stables. After riding the dragon, Ados circled the sky for a while. Aramis' Pegasus heard the dragon's chant and flew up to join them.

The two people and the two beasts flew under the night, and the huge moon sprinkled the light, and there was no one else in the whole sky except them.

"Can you tell me now, what's going on? Where have you and Aramis been these past few days, and what have you done?" Athos asked.

Shao Dalong obediently confessed about finding the witch. After hearing this, Ados sighed and said, "I guessed that you went to the Alexandria library, but it's a good job to come back so soon."

The last person who found the library of Alexandria was released after being imprisoned for a year, and never entered any library again.

Only then did Athos know what happened to that great arcanist in the Sky Library, and he was forced to write a book for a year!
"What happened on your side again, why did Porthos call me back through the players?" Shao Dalong asked instead.

"What did you say happened? We want to propose to His Majesty to establish a player army and recommend you to be the leader. Of course, we have to let His Majesty see what you look like? Otherwise, let His Majesty entrust such an important position to someone who has never seen you before." People from another world?" Athos scolded.

"Ahem...then when shall we go to see His Majesty the Emperor?"

"There is no need to rush to see Your Majesty. Just this afternoon, the palace sent back news that His Majesty has rejected our proposal." Ados said.

"Ah, I'm sorry, it's all my fault for running around." Shao Dalong said embarrassedly.

Athos shook his head and said:

"No, even if you were here, the result would be the same.

"His Majesty never planned to hand over the command of the player legion to others from the very beginning.

"He split the player legion we proposed into eight, each of the seven electors and the emperor himself will build a player army, and a military exercise will be held half a year later, and the most powerful army will be in charge of commanding the remaining seven.

"The emperor is the largest noble in the empire and has the most resources in the empire. His player army may grow extremely rapidly.

"His Majesty intends to use this method to control the player legion in the hands of the royal family, and at the same time, we will have no reason to object. After all, this decision itself is fair."

Athos seemed a little helpless. He actually expected that this might happen, so he wanted to cooperate with Porthos and Aramis to gather a large number of players before the emperor and other electors could react. Renhe, let the flow take its course and get the command of the player's legion.

However, after a few days of investigation in the capital, it was determined that His Majesty the Emperor had already taken action, and notified the three Church Electors about the players. If Ados wanted to win all the players to his side, the difficulty would be It's big.

In essence, this is another game between the royal family and the great nobles.

"Which player's army will be stronger after half a year?" Shao Dalong repeated in a strange tone.

No matter how many resources your royal family has, can it still be as powerful as my infinite slime bike?

Isn't this free?
