"What do you think?" Magus glanced sideways at Dulin and asked.
He admired this young man very much in his heart. From the time he turned forty, everyone either respected him or feared him, with the exception of Du Lin. No visitor would ever sleep in his home. Even if important matters were discussed for two or three days in the middle of the night or even later, these people would leave very voluntarily and not cause any trouble to Mags.
But Du Lin was not like that. He came right after lunch and asked for advice on etiquette. After all, he was about to face a member of the royal family. If he made a discourteous move, he would lose face.
A person has to do hundreds of great things to make most people admire him and think highly of him, but as long as he does one dishonorable thing, most people will soon laugh at him. This is unfair because fairness is not in the hands of the weak.
After a brief introduction to the court etiquette..., there was no more, then Du Lin casually took a book and sat in Mags's study to read it. As he looked at Mags, he heard a snoring sound. Du Lin He actually fell asleep lying on the sofa. He could not forget that at that moment he felt helpless and confused. He didn't know whether he should wake up Du Lin politely and tell him that he accidentally fell asleep in his study. If he is very sleepy, there are some guest rooms in the villa that have not been used in decades but are cleaned every day for him to rest.
Or... ignore him and let him sleep here for a while
He can fall asleep while reading a book. He must be very tired during this time, right
Immediately afterwards, Mags burst out laughing. How many people in the entire empire and even the entire world wanted to chat with him in this study, but this bastard actually fell asleep here. Mags laughed and shook his head. He put the book he was reading under his arm and quietly left the study. Then he woke up Du Lin, who was drooling while sleeping. He had never heard of Du Lin drooling while sleeping, and of course he would not ask about such a thing. This made him very interesting, and then he laughed at Du Lin.
In fact, in essence, Magus still admired Dulin. Not everyone can doze off and then fall asleep in front of the first man of the empire.
Dulin is definitely the only one.
At this time, Du Lin seemed to have forgotten the embarrassment not long ago. He caressed half of the wall covered by mottled shadows. The moss and many ancient traces in the cracks of the bricks indicated how many years this wall had gone through and remained standing. . Unfortunately, now it is really just a wall and no longer represents some kind of nobility and power. One would not describe a circle as the walls of a palace, not anymore.
He shook his head and said with a smile, "I fulfilled a wish...". Seeing Magus's expression of listening, Du Lin chuckled twice, "Actually, it's nothing. When I was a child, I always felt that the palace was far away from me. , now that I have grown up, I really realize that it is indeed far away from me, even if I can touch it.”
Mags chewed on this sentence, and he immediately woke up and kept his appearance without saying anything. He understood what Du Lin meant. When he was a child, he thought that the most powerful person in the world was the emperor who lived in the palace. Now that he has grown up, he is no longer simple. He realizes that what he wants is exactly what is not available here. Although it is just a sentiment, it also contains a lot of things.
The two entered the palace one after another. The soldiers did not stop them and let them pass directly.
After entering the palace, Du Lin was a little disappointed. To be precise, this palace was not as grand and vast as the palace in his dream. It was like... something used by the nouveau riche to show off.
Although he followed Mags calmly, Mags could clearly feel that no matter what Dulin's emotions were before he came in, he had expectations for it. But after coming in, he became calmer, which made him a little curious. Is it not luxurious and noble here, or has he sublimated it again
Mags is an old man who has always maintained curiosity. When a person is curious, he will have enough awe. He couldn't help but ask, "You seem to think this place is normal?"
Dulin nodded, "It's much worse than I thought!" When Mags showed an unexpected expression, he said with a smile, "I thought I would be able to feel a top-down feeling when I walked in. The feeling of oppression makes people uncontrollably awe-inspiring, but in fact there is no such feeling. The palace I saw is just an external manifestation of productivity, which is honestly very vulgar. "
"What you said is very interesting, keep talking!" Maggs suddenly became interested. This was the first time he heard this argument. He inevitably wanted to know why Dulin would say this, although he already had some ideas. guess.
Du Lin didn't care that he was in the palace, and palace guards like statues could be seen everywhere on both sides of the road. He directly expressed his opinion, "In the past, when productivity was low, it took a lot of money to build a beautiful palace. With a large amount of financial and manpower, a country with weak national power simply did not have enough resources to build such a luxurious and exquisite palace, let alone to cover the corners of the bricks with gold. This palace represented the national power at that time, and it can also be said that it was. The empire surpasses the productivity of other countries. It is more like a symbol, or a kind of intimidation, used to scare those smaller countries."
"When envoys from small countries walked into this palace, they couldn't imagine how rich and powerful the empire was. Even the corners of the bricks on the ground would be covered with gold, so they were afraid of the empire, even if the empire was not as powerful as they imagined. So powerful!”
"The eyes can be deceiving!"
Magus nodded after hearing this, "It's a very interesting statement, very novel, and it also makes sense." He glanced at Dulin, "So what is your ideal palace like?"
Du Lin smiled like a child in his twenties, showing two rows of teeth brilliantly, "What do you think?!"
When the old man tried to trick me, he really treated me like a child!
This little bastard!
Not to mention the smiles on their faces, they were embarrassed in their hearts as they walked into a palace. Her Highness the Princess was currently putting on a girdle with difficulty.
"Your Highness, you should lose weight. This is the new corset made in February, but it is obviously much smaller." The head maid stood behind Her Highness the Princess, watching the two maids working hard to get the corset into place. The zipper was zipped up one by one, and I couldn't help but emphasize it.
The little girl pressed her hands on her chest and her face turned red. She felt it was hard to even take a breath now, especially since her two melons were almost squeezed into her face. "I'm not fat, do you understand?"
