Damn it, this boss really has no normal skills.

Chapter 548 The Third Prince of the Deep Forest

In case readers don’t know what this Centaur Count is all about, the Times has opened a special article in the page [Yang Yue Character Biography] to introduce her.

A ruined nobleman, wandering around Sunshine City, returned to his country as the leader of the Deep Forest Mercenaries, fought in the north, avenged his family, and single-handedly brought the Pearl family back to the power arena of the Deep Forest...

After all, he is a hero on the battlefield who has made his way to the top through hard work, so the author's introduction is surprisingly objective, even a bit complimentary.

If Ji Ming hadn't checked this person's background, he would have found out that his other alias was actually a very famous Centaur-themed painter.

But where there is praise there is criticism, not to mention that the Qixia Daily is the official mouthpiece, so even if the level of knowledge is not that high, it certainly cannot speak without thinking.

Therefore, private newspapers such as the Gyeonggi Sinmun were overjoyed when they found out that this centaur Count was related to Kimien, the Chosen One of the Holy Light.

Not only was it reported extensively, but entire pages were devoted to the love-hate relationship between Christine and Kimien, with the author wishing he would wear out the tip of his pen.

But all of the above can still be considered normal. After all, although there are some exaggerations in some details, they still respect objective facts.

Because in the mouths of the entire news media such as "The Onion Morning Post" and "Bed Magazine", the relationship between Christine and Kimien is almost indescribable and unspeakable.

"Ha, I don't want to play anymore!"

Ji Ming suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart. It was the strange fate that had been quiet for a long time reminding him that something was wrong.

So he didn't even wait for the coachman to turn around, but took the reins of the Pegasus from the accompanying knight and ran away immediately.

However, as we all know, according to the general classic routine, when a character wakes up after setting off, it is often too late.

So when Ji Ming rode his horse quickly to the nearby Guard Knight Platform, ready to go through the legal and compliant procedures, it was time to take off.

Suddenly, there were loud firecrackers and drums in front of the road, and people on both sides of the road lined up to welcome it, as if something big was coming!

Ji Ming really wanted to deceive himself that the Sun King was going out of the palace to select concubines and expand his bedroom. After all, this is what the old man loved to do in the past.

But unfortunately, from his perspective, it can be seen that these "people" in front of him are all, without exception, players dressed as extras.

There is no way. The reputation of the Deep Forest people is too distorted in the eyes of the Glow People.

I was so angry that I wished I could turn into a little boy and grow mushrooms to fight them on the spot.

Just hearing this word can make my legs tremble with fear.

So Old Anton was afraid of any unnecessary trouble, so he outsourced the reception and escort to the pioneers.

At this point someone might ask, what benefits did the player promise the old man to make him trust him so much?

You have to know that the players also have a grudge against Shenlin. If someone goes crazy and makes a mistake, causing a large-scale diplomatic accident, wouldn't that be the end of us?

...So the outsourced team is a professional one. Ji Ming saw several old acquaintances he had met in the Foreign Affairs Bureau before.

There was nothing to be happy about meeting an old friend in a foreign land, because at this moment, he found that there was a bang bang bang sound of cannons behind him.

"Ah this."

Ji Ming couldn't help but think of the movie "Mr. Zombie" he watched when he was a child. Uncle Jiu's apprentice sister encountered an extremely ferocious red and white demon in the wilderness.

At that time, I even boasted to other kids that there were no ghosts in this world and that I would never encounter one in my lifetime.

——The result is that they are ambushing me here!

And Bai... No, the person coming behind him happened to be an acquaintance.

Therefore, just as Ji Ming was about to use the [Suggestion Technique] to reduce his presence and sneak away with his horse, he was stopped by someone.

"God's Chosen One, why are you here too?"

A generous gift crab!

Ji Ming cursed in his heart, but he had to dismount and greet the other party, because the person who came was none other than Duke Xiguang.

Victory is the best calcium supplement. The old man has been living a good life recently. He is in good spirits and even walks much more smoothly than before.

Although he didn't know what the "Fourth Disaster Plan" was, he knew that the players' current status and position in Glory were due to the efforts of others.

So as the actual beneficiary, Ji Ming had no choice but to walk over and ask the question even though he knew the answer.

"Your Excellency the Duke? What a coincidence! I didn't expect to see you here. By the way, what happened in the city today? Why are there so many people here?"

"what?"

Duke Xiguang was stunned by this question, but he soon came to his senses.

"Oh, the Deep Forest Diplomatic Corps is about to enter the city. We are the host family after all. Aren't I going to welcome them?"

"I see. I won't bother you anymore then."

After saying that, Ji Ming pulled the reins and was about to run away.

But since he was already here, there was no way Lord Xi would let him get away easily, so he stopped him immediately.

"Wait a minute, God's Chosen One!"

Ji Ming immediately heard the sound of a steel pipe falling to the ground, but he could only watch Duke Xiguang walk quickly forward.

And he starts with an extremely classic move [Sigh of the Conscripted Man].

"Alas, actually Archbishop Lenson was supposed to be in charge of the reception on behalf of the Holy Light Church today, but he had something urgent to do, so another bishop came instead."

"But the envoy from that side is a flower-level envoy. I think the status of this little bishop...is not equal to his. He could easily be accused of disrespecting the envoy."

"Well, since God has chosen you, now that you are here, why don't you help out?"

Ji Ming:......

Crumbs!

So when the Deep Forest delegation entered Qixia City amid the enthusiastic embrace of the "Glory People", the reception staff they saw was the combination of Duke Xiguang and the Chosen One of Holy Light.

This mission to the Deep Forest is very important, so the delegation has quite a large number of members, plus their own guards, enough to form a large convoy.

And in front of the convoy, second only to the two ceremonial knights, was a tall, monstrous Centaur.

There is no other way, just like only models that are big enough are worthy of being a house decoration, after the War Horse Girl is dressed up neatly and equipped with a lot of decorations, this shiny look is really cool.

As long as the Third Prince is not a fool, he will not waste such a good signboard. Even if he has to pay for it, he must show off the reputation of "Deep Forest" today.

It turns out that the effect is very good, at least the players around are having a great time taking screenshots.

Coincidentally, if you think about it carefully, the first time Ji Ming met Christine was almost in a similar situation.

At that time, the War Horse Girl had just killed a level 40 violent Cyclops with her own hands, and she began to parade in the streets to show off according to the rules of the Orc Tribe.

As a result, she was happy, but the already crowded commercial street suffered a disaster. Citizens who were afraid of the unexpected disaster rushed to both sides of the road, making the scene a mess.

But the difference is that at that time, Ji Ming was still a young king who had just completed a class leap, and he was followed by a small figure like Dusk, who no one would remember if I didn't remind him.

[Note: Dusk first appeared in Chapter 16 of Volume 1, as the captain of a large adventure group, helping Ji Ming earn his first pot of gold from the Calming Talisman.]

But now, Ji Ming no longer needs to cower in the corner as a minion. Instead, he can stand in the middle of the road as a member of the reception team with a powerful duke.

Christine, who was so arrogant and domineering at first, and thought she was the overlord, seemed to have restrained herself a lot after singing two songs on the big stage of Deep Forest.

At least now she walks with her head down, her steps steady and her eyes calm. Although she still has some energy, she no longer has the arrogance she once had.

Because of this, she immediately noticed Ji Ming, who was trying to pretend that he didn't exist even though the business was open.

However, she did not leave the team because of this. She just smiled at him and continued to complete her escort mission.

"..."

Ji Ming saw it, and Duke Xiguang saw it too, but the old man didn't say anything. He just sighed with emotion after a long silence.

...God's Chosen One, what a sinful man.

At this time, the Shenlin delegation had arrived at the designated location and began to park their cars one by one under the guidance of the players and handed over security work.

After the brief handover formalities, envoys and representatives from all walks of life in the deep forest came out of the carriages one after another.

——This naturally includes the third prince who is the leader.

Just as Ji Ming had imagined, this young man named Yaglo inherited the bloodline of a little lion, and he had a handsome appearance and excellent temperament.

But she is older than him, and there is always a sense of inexplicable resentment in her eyes. Judging from her appearance, she is not easy to get along with.

However, if he was really a playboy without any vision, he would not have been able to stand out from hundreds of brothers and sisters and become the third crown prince of Shenlin's generation.

Therefore, when Aglo saw Duke Xiguang, a very standard business smile immediately appeared on his face, and he even took the initiative to walk over and shake hands with him.

Duke Xiguang did not show any surprise because of this. Instead, he relied on his broad frame to hold on tightly and regained the initiative.

"Hello, Your Highness. On behalf of the Kingdom of Glowing Light and His Majesty the Sun King Anton VI, I welcome you."

The third prince ignored the other party's inexplicable strength and condescending gaze, and smiled slightly, acting generous and calm.

"Hello, Your Excellency the Duke. Thank you very much for your warm hospitality. It is my honor to be here and meet you today."

Since both sides are experts in rhetoric, it is impossible to determine the winner so quickly, and there is no need to quarrel here.

So after saying a bunch of polite words and giving the reporters present enough time to take pictures, the two men stopped fighting as if nothing had happened.

While the representative of the Deep Forest merchants walked towards Duke Xiguang with a smile, the Third Prince also walked towards the Chosen One of Holy Light, whose status on the Glowing Side was second only to Lord Xi.

"Hello, I believe you are the Chosen One of Holy Light. I have heard of your name for a long time."

Perhaps because Ji Ming was of similar age to him and they would have many more dealings in the future, the Third Prince seemed much more enthusiastic than before.

Unfortunately, if he knew that the physician apprentice who stayed in Sunshine City according to the legend of God’s Chosen One was actually a little girl whose full name was Adele Fengxian, he would not have smiled so happily.

However, Ji Ming did not give the third prince a cold shoulder because of this blood feud. Instead, he shook hands with him enthusiastically.

On the one hand, he had promised to help Duke Xiguang, and he absolutely could not undermine the old man on such an important occasion because of personal grudges.

On the other hand, Adele worked so hard to build the mecha, from Sunshine City to the Foreign Affairs Bureau, and worked overtime desperately, wasn't it just for revenge?

Some things are better done personally, and as a teacher I just need to pave the way.

Of course, this did not prevent him from secretly greeting the third prince in his heart when he shook hands with him, saying "Don't eat the sour radish."

Although the Deep Forest Diplomatic Corps has a large number of members, there are actually only five of them who can be counted.

The royal representative is naturally the third prince, who has the greatest power and the highest status in the diplomatic corps.

The merchant representative was a middle-aged man with a big belly who smiled at everyone he met.

Although he is not the only big boss in the team, as the largest grain merchant in Shenlin, there is no need to explain much about Sima Dongxi's status and means.

The representative of the nobility was an old man wearing a long sword. He was a powerful marquis in the northern aristocratic circle and his title was Lijiang.

It seemed that he had fought with Lord Xi before, and not only were his military strategies very brilliant, but the results were also very good, so the two of them had a very pleasant conversation.

The church representative was an ordinary-looking man dressed in ordinary clothes and even spoke in a somewhat dull manner.

But he is a flower-level messenger of the Jungle Church, codenamed Dandelion. According to the secret information conveyed by Rose, his status is similar to that of Demon Star Orchid.

The last person is the newly appointed Earl of the Deep Forest Kingdom, Christian Pearl, who has made great military achievements in the North.

Logically speaking, she is not worthy of being on par with the above four, but who says that Shenlin, a country founded on military power, is the country that respects military exploits the most?

Therefore, even though he was only assigned a job similar to that of the captain of the guards, he still came out and showed his face.

But the War Horse Girl was too tall. It was not appropriate to ask her to bend her legs and sit on the ground, or to ask Duke Xiguang to stand on tiptoe to shake hands.

So they had to change the etiquette and take out a gold-plated and diamond-studded spear. Christine held the upper end while the Duke of Xiguang held the lower end.

This means "holding a spear together" - since two people are holding the same weapon, they are equivalent to comrades who have fought side by side.

"Well, well, well, you are indeed worthy of being a fierce general who can kill seven enemies in the northern battlefield!"

Lord Xi is a warrior, and seeing such a large mass of protein full of power and beauty made him feel very excited, and he almost challenged it to a fight on the spot.

But this thing was really against etiquette, so he could only look at the third prince on the side and praise loudly.

"You deep foresters, you are blessed!"

The third prince laughed.

"Your Excellency the Duke is too polite. Your bravery is well known to everyone in our forest."
