Chapter 462 (1/2)
”Don't have any worries, this is not a bad thing...” The corner of Elizabeth's slightly pursed mouth draws a beautiful arc
”I have arranged a grand parade for you, and I hope you can participate.”
”This is a stage specially built for heroes. You are the protagonist...”

Chapter 58: Monthly Ticket Plus
”A grand parade?” Merlin frowned, seeming not to like this thing very much.
”Yes, I think you know that too?” Elizabeth paused and continued, ”Now there are a lot of people outside who want to see your grace.”
”So what? The group of people outside has nothing to do with me.” Merlin voiced helplessly and hated being entangled. He was a big demon, and somehow became a hero. If the demon knew about it, he would treat himself Treat it as a mutineer.
If Merlin was an ordinary demon, he would really not worry about these things, but he happened to be a noble monarch.
Even if he is being fired, his words and deeds will represent the position of the Demon Race, and it is easy to be passed on to the ears of the Demon Race Council, severely poked on the backbone, and said something bad.
Now Mei Lin is very fortunate that he has always been wearing a mask, no one knows his own old bottom, otherwise the human empire will not be able to mix, and there will be great dissatisfaction on the demon clan's home.
”How can there be no relationship at all? You are now a hot figure in the empire, and your reputation has spread to other empires. As a public figure, you have the responsibility to guide your followers.” Elizabeth Yuqing Yu Li said.
A big bead of sweat shed on Mei Lin's forehead, thinking what the hell is a believer!?When did you become the faith of a certain cult?
”Well, even if I have some responsibilities, there is no need to make it so troublesome. What kind of grand parade, can you just use a little bit of strong voice?”
”It's a pity that I have tried the method you mentioned, and I can't get rid of it. Now it's a critical moment for the rejuvenation of the imperial capital. This kind of thing is really a headache~” Elizabeth rubbed her forehead with her hand. My eyes secretly looked at Merlin's expression, ”I have already prepared the money for your Excellency, but now this matter makes me a little bit overwhelmed, there is no extra energy to fulfill the agreement~”
”Tsk! You guy... really cunning enough.” Merlin gritted his teeth, finally understanding what it means to owe money to the uncle
Elizabeth is a human being, I am afraid it is a fake to disperse the onlookers, it is true to use my reputation to stabilize the current situation...
In fact, the real situation is similar to Merlin's guess, and Elizabeth has her own little abacus.
The prestige of the imperial royal family is indeed at a disadvantage compared to Elgin's great swordsman, and its appeal is extremely strong.
Therefore, it is a bit unwise to choose armed confrontation, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers.
In addition, the strength of Elgin's great swordsman was there, and it was not a hard bone that the imperial royal family could bite.
But fortunately, Elizabeth doesn't think Merlin has great ambitions. It's relatively safe. You don't mess with me. I don't bother to mess with you.
The most important point is that the entire empire needs Elgin Great Swordsman, and absolutely cannot be hostile.
The reason is that an empire standing in this world requires a very strong deterrence of force, that is, the hole card, otherwise it is easy to cause other empires to covet and suffer brutal aggression and plunder.
The world is now in a period of relative peace. Isn't it because the forces of each empire are more balanced?
Now the fairy in the lake has fallen into a long dormancy, the British Empire has lost its cards, and its deterrence against other empires has weakened.
Under this circumstance, the great swordsman of Elgin seemed extremely important. Elizabeth was thinking about making full use of the reputation of great swordsman to make him the nominal guardian of the empire.
All the factors added up, Elizabeth chose to treat Elgin's great swordsman with a gentler strategy, and wanted to take this ride.
It means to rub the heat of Elgin's great swordsman so as to achieve Elizabeth's two goals
One is to let all the people in the empire see the friendship between the great Elgin swordsman and the royal family, stabilize the situation within the empire, and show the broad mind of the royal family.
Second, it's acting for other empires who are eyeing the eye. In layman's terms, we are very familiar with the Elgin swordsman. Don't think that the fairy in the lake can't be used, we are just soft persimmons.
In fact, Merlin knew the little abacus that Elizabeth was playing in her heart. He was also a ruler. How could Xiao Jiujiu of this level not know?
Merlin had her own considerations in her heart, mainly because the idea of living a peaceful life prevailed.
He must be unwilling to keep the empire in turmoil at all times, and it is easy to break his still peaceful life.
Even if Merlin doesn't take the initiative to find trouble, some things will come to her door by herself. What's more, there is still a stinky lady in the family who shouts ”Justice will win” every day?
Anyway, Merlin won't admit to worrying about Elizabeth's promise, so he agreed to go out for two laps!
The next day, the grand parade planned by Elizabeth herself began
A ray of sunlight rushed out of the horizon and just projected on the central street of the imperial capital, illuminating the statue of the founding emperor of Britain.
Although the current imperial capital is a bit dilapidated and no longer prosperous in the past, it is difficult to stop people's enthusiasm.
I saw outside the walls of the imperial capital, crowded with people, and I couldn't see where my face rested, and there would be small-scale chaos from time to time.
But everyone seemed to be here for Elgin's great swordsman, and it seemed that nothing major would happen.
In this parade, all the remaining bauhinia knights were dispatched, there were thousands of people, to maintain order on the scene.
