Chapter 148 What official do you want?
President Cui sighed. Everything Song Li did today did not only help the Alchemist Guild to regain his reputation, but the entire Holy Lion Empire was spared from humiliation. The Holy Emperor said that he was bringing glory to the country, and he was not wrong at all. He did such a feat in front of tens of thousands of viewers at home and abroad. It was indeed a great achievement. The Holy Emperor wanted to give him an official title, but no one could say anything. The Alchemist Guild could only take care of alchemist. The Holy Emperor asked Song Li to go to the palace to be an alchemist. President Cui had the right to stop it, but the Holy Emperor wanted to grant Song Li an official, but he could not say anything. After all, everyone is in two systems. Alchemist Refining is alchemist, and being an official is an official, without interfering with each other.
His Majesty the Holy Emperor also saw that Song Li was a great talent and had to snatch anything to use for himself. The key is that what this little guy showed on the court today is not just the talent for alchemy. With his keen observation and analysis ability and such a smart mind, he is indeed more than enough to be involved in the officialdom.
"Li'er, don't you thank you, Uncle Saint." Song Xinghai blinked at Song Li with a smile.
"Thank you, Uncle Holy Emperor. I didn't do anything either. I just didn't like that Lambis' alchemist. I was too arrogant." Song Li thanked him.
"It's great to be proud of yourself." The Holy Emperor smiled and continued, "Nephew Song Li, tell me, what kind of official do you want?"
"It is best to be very leisurely and don't do anything, but the salary is very high and respected." Song Li replied with a smile.
"Oh? Is there any such an official? Then the Holy Emperor is going to do it too." The Holy Emperor laughed, only Song Li dared to say this in front of him. If it were other children, how could they dare to make conditions with him? Do you still dare to bargain with the Holy Emperor's reward?
"If you ask me what I have, I will tell you the truth." Song Li looked very stupid and naive.
"This kid likes to talk nonsense." Yun Lin gave Song Li a blank look.
"Since our great hero has spoken, then Uncle Saint Emperor will satisfy you. You kid have a problem with Uncle Saint Emperor. Wen Aiqing, you are the chief minister of the cabinet, and you will also help you to make a total of the total, see if there are any officials who are both leisurely, have high salaries, and have respected status." Lord Holy Emperor glanced at Wen Liren with a smile.
"I am obeying Your Majesty's decree and think carefully when you go back." Wen Liren hurriedly responded.
He knew very well that the Holy Emperor did this, on the one hand, seeing that Song Li was indeed a talent, he must take it for himself. On the other hand, he was showing goodwill to the Ming Palace and consolidating the alliance with the Ming Palace.
Song Li made contributions under his nose today, which is definitely a good opportunity. Song Li was only seventeen years old and just became an adult. If he was granted an official title, someone would definitely stand up and say anything, but with this contribution, who would dare to say anything? When the Holy Lion Empire was about to be shamed, where did you hide and shivered? After someone made a merit and gave him a title, you jumped out and said, which is too unauthorized?
The biggest resistance is actually Prince Zhong. In the past, if the Holy Emperor had rewarded his own people, he would definitely come up with various reasons to obstruct him in every way. However, this time, his son Song Qiuhan was also a contestant. Faced with the provocation of the alchemist in the Kingdom of Lambis, Song Qiuhan had no power to resist. It was Song Li who turned the tide and exposed Tingsli's identity, which made the alchemist competition not become a laughing stock. What position does Prince Zhong have to say?
Since the Holy Emperor wanted to use Song Li, even if there was no such official in the current system, he would create one. On the one hand, it was to cater to the Holy Emperor's wishes, and on the other hand, it was also to repay the help of the Ming and his sons who had helped him.
Song Li didn't care about the kindness of the Holy Emperor. If there was such an official, he could get a high salary without doing anything and be respected when he went out, why would he not do it? In fact, he just said casually, but he didn't expect that the Holy Emperor was really going to arrange such an official position for him. It seemed that his performance today was too coquettish, and even the Holy Emperor was conquered.
After some encouragement and blessings, the Holy Emperor took several of his confidant loyal ministers to leave the scene.
President Cui looked at Song Li with a smile and said, "Song Li, according to the charter of this Alchemist Competition, the contestant who won the championship will automatically become a registered alchemist of the Alchemist Guild. He was also absorbed as a member by the Alchemist Council."
Yun Lin's eyes suddenly widened and she said, "President...when did this rule be there? Why don't I know?"
The contestants who have won the top three will automatically become registered alchemists of the Alchemist Guild. This one is the same as in previous years. But the champion will become a member of the parliament. When will this one be added?
You should know that the council of the Alchemist Guild is the highest decision-making body of the guild. There are only eleven members in total. Except for the president and the seven elders, the status of the members of the guild has been high. Song Li, the little guy, suddenly became the group of people at the top of the pyramid of the Alchemist Guild?
Song Li immediately understood that President Cui felt the pressure from the Holy Emperor. There was that old guy staring at him. If President Cui did not show any sincerity, how could he keep the genius Song Li? He added this member of the parliament temporarily. I am afraid that there would be no such article in the charter of this competition. Otherwise, how could Yun Lin, as a judge, not know?
"Xiao Yunlin, what else can I doubt about my old man's words? I said there is something. That's it." After President Cui said this, Yunlin also understood that feelings are President Cui's way of winning over.
Cui Lushu clapped her hands and smiled: "Song Li is so powerful. Others have to work hard for decades before they are qualified to enter the parliament. You have just entered the guild and become a member of parliament. You must be the youngest member of parliament in history."
Song Li waved his hand and said in a very bad mood: "This is all a little bit of a word. When I go in and spend a few years, I will also get you a member of the congressman."
Cui Lushu pursed her lips and said, "This is what you said, don't cheat. I will hold your thick legs in this life, and I will definitely not be wrong."
"When did you see me, don't you pay attention to your words? Why don't we hook me?" Song Li smiled and stretched out his index finger and bent into a hook.
"Okay, just pull the hook, and you have to stamp it." Cui Lushu bent her fingers into a hook, hooked her fingers with Song Li, and both sides stamped it with their thumbs.
"Hanging the hook for a hundred years will not change!" The two of them recited their childish oath seriously, but their expressions were extremely serious.
Song Li felt that Cui Lushu's fingers were smooth and his heart suddenly felt rippling. When he retracted his hand, his fingers gently drew a circle on Cui Lushu's palm. Cui Lushu trembled as if he was electrocuted, and hurriedly retracted his palm, and his heart leaped a few times without any effort.
She knew that Song Li's behavior was already a bit provocative. In broad daylight, in front of so many people, this kid was so brave. But Cui Lushu felt a stimulation of breaking through the taboo. Her eyes looked at Song Li as if angry and happy, but there was no sign of anger.
Song Li's expression was serious and he had no awareness of doing bad things at all, which made Cui Lushu feel so angry that she was so angry that she was really good at pretending. She was obviously a bad guy, but she was still pretending to be serious here.
Yun Lin saw Song Li's small movements in her eyes. She quietly pulled Song Li aside and whispered: "The girl you told me last time is Lu Shu, right? I just saw you doing something bad to others."
Song Limeng said without changing his expression: "Where did I do anything to her? We are good friends. Don't talk in front of others, so as not to be unable to make friends in the end."
"I think it would be great if Lu Shu was the princess of the Ming Prince's Mansion. This girl is beautiful, has a good character, and is also a noble alchemist with a noble status. Her family background is also prominent. She is perfectly matched with you." Yun Lin made a random match here again.
Song Li rolled his eyes and was speechless at this mother. When she met Long Qiqi last time, she seemed to have said the same thing. Since Song Li's coming-of-age ceremony, Yun Lin has a new problem. When she saw the young and beautiful girl, she wanted to get her home as her daughter-in-law.
At this time, President Cui and the seven elders came over and shook hands with Song Li one by one. Then, based on the level and quality of the turtle-patterned elixir refined by Song Li, they evaluated Song Li on the spot, and then gave him a standard robe exclusive to the Alchemist Guild.
The turtle-patterned elixir refined by Song Li is the best grade in the earth level, and it is of first-class quality. The elixir body is round and the thirteen turtle shell-like patterns on the surface are extremely clear. Everyone unanimously evaluated that he is already a level nine alchemist, and is only one step away from a level ten alchemist!
Originally, Song Li's level was level seven, and he could only refine middle-grade elixirs at the Earth level, but he suffered consecutive setbacks in the finals of the Alchemist Competition, which actually stimulated his potential and increased the alchemist level by two levels. This was something Song Li had never expected before the game. It seemed that he had been too smooth before. Sometimes when people were in desperate situations, they could know where his true limit was. When Yun Lin signed up for him, his main purpose was to let him compete with various masters, which was a rare experience. In fact, such experience was indeed very effective.
The robe is white. Because it is a ninth-level alchemist, there are nine star leaf clovers on his chest. Because he is a member of the parliament, there is also a special tower sign next to it to prove his identity. Song Li wore the robe on the spot, and the material was not known what it was made of. It was very soft and close to the body. According to President Cui, this robe was made of some kind of green silk in the Western Regions, and even had some defensive attack function. It could not be wet when water was poured or burned through, and it was warm in winter and cool in summer. The cost was absolutely amazing.
After Song Li put on this robe, his sword eyebrows and starry eyes were starry, and his body was standing tall. The breeze blew, and the white robe fluttered gently, as if he was flying away by the wind. He was so proud that he had an extraordinary temperament.
"This kid is quite handsome in the alchemist's robe." Long Ziyan in the audience looked at Song Li and Cui Lushu with each other, and was in a bad mood. She was not feeling better until now.
This alchemist competition ended in joy, and the excitement of this competition is higher than any other. So when President Cui announced the victory of this competition, the audience was a little reluctant and refused to leave for a long time.
