“What do you think of the forthcoming Iron Ridge Messenger Corps, Grandpa, Father? ”
The topic of the study revolved around nation-building, and Lester looked forward to the political wisdom of Marquis Merlyn and Marquis Bulltail. Admittedly, he is a dragon knight at the height of his power, but the founding of the nation is not solidified by strength alone, but still requires balancing his power and external forces.
In this regard, it is clear that he is less clear than the two elderly aristocrats.
Most importantly, his rise was too short and his understanding of the world's knighthood system was not deep enough, or that the backward system was deeply belittled. He knew that the system must conform to productivity, but that it could not dispel the sense of superiority from the civilized world and change the contempt for backward systems.
“First, the purpose of the Iron Ridge Embassy shall be analysed.” Marquis Merlyn sets the tone, "judging from the current information, the emissary necessarily comes in the light of the forthcoming state of Lister. The Dragon Knight joins forces with the Wizard to establish the state, and the attitude of Iron Ridge should be obvious. ”
William Lee nodded: “Iron Ridge hopes that the country will become one of them, expanding its power, treating the flames of the future like sapphire... perhaps Lester, you will soon be sealed as Grand Duke of Flames. ”
“So, Father, Grandpa, do you support my country to become a part of Iron Ridge? ”
“If this is the best place to build a nation in the ocean and become a Steel Ridge Nation, the Kingdom of the Eagle has mastered sailing technology and is in a competitive relationship with us. And the eagle kingdom is in decline, uniting the Iron Ridge kingdom, perhaps more profits can be shared in the future.” William Lee said.
Marquis Merlyn frowned: “United Iron Ridge is not necessarily a good thing, the power of the mainland is balanced, so we have the convenience of taking advantage on both sides. If the Iron Ridge is strong, it will not necessarily do against the sea... The Dragon Knight of Lister, the Mage of Archer, will change the view of the mainland people about the sea. ”
“But the Kingdom of the Eagle has taken revenge with us, and there is no way to reintroduce it. ”
“The State has no friends or enemies but interests. ”
“But I am still inclined to become a part of Iron Ridge, join forces with sapphires to dominate the sea and completely cut off the hand that the Kingdom of the Continent extends over the sea. ”
“William Lee, you look too shallow...... cough......” Marquis Merlin coughed a few times, getting worse and worse, but he got spiritually aroused, "The sea is no longer the exclusive property of sapphire, starting with the rebellion of the Bull family, bringing out sailing technology, the sea is about to usher in a new era! ”
“What era?” William Lee asked.
“In a time of strife, the Kingdom of the Eagle can see the threat of the sea, the Iron Ridge can naturally see the convenience of the sea, the rise of the Dragon Knight and the Wizard will accelerate the development of the situation in the sea… If this island can cultivate the Dragon Knight, then it is no longer a desolate place! ”
“Ultimately, the ocean is poorly resourced and cannot tolerate too much power. ”
“It is intolerable and intrusive that the Kingdom of the Continent will no longer give the island nations the time and space to fly, and you will see that future maritime rivalries will never be calmer than those of the Continent.” Marquis Merlyn's gaze sparkles with wisdom as if he had seen the great age of navigation.
The Yam family has always been known for their ingenuity.
At that time, his father gambled on the entire family estate grant in exchange for huge returns on Red Crab Island.
For his part, he had accumulated considerable resources and promoted his family for decades. It's only a pity that his children are not prosperous, his son's talents are cold, and his grandson's talents are similar, which keeps him breathless. On his grandson, however, he saw the glorious resurgence of the Yam bloodline - who had allowed Lester to inherit too much of his mother's face.
Seeing this handsome, charming face doesn't remind him of Melissa, the pearl-like little girl in his palm.
“Lester Flame, you have the ability to change the landscape of the ocean, and the ocean of the future is bound to wave because of you. Iron Ridge, Bear Eagle, or Sapphire will eventually lose to you, seize the opportunity, and the title of the former Grand Duke ‘Master of the Sea' will belong to you. ”
“Of course I understand that. ”
Lester praised his grandfather and accepted calmly, which was the future he had planned: "I just don't think that if we built the country, we would be in this area. The expedition fleet hasn't set out yet, but finding the right Founding Islands should keep you away from the Iron Ridge and even the eagle. ”
“Mmm.”
“It is indeed possible. ”
Marquis Li William and Marquis Merlyn nodded at the same time: “If this is the case, why not confuse the Embassy first, wait to discover the location of the maritime area where the nation was founded, then discuss the next option… If you can't find the right location at sea, you can explore the wind, can you build the country within the influence of Iron Ridge? ”
“It is not necessary to build a nation in Iron Ridge, but it is important to understand the attitude and sincerity of the Iron Ridge Royal Family. ”
“I see. So, Grandpa, Father, when the Apostolic Corps arrives, it is up to you to communicate with the Apostolic Corps on my behalf. ”
“Yes.” Marquis Merlin nodded directly.
As Lester's father, William Lee would naturally not refuse.
……
That is, three days later, on December 24, the Embassy of the Iron Ridge Kingdom, accompanied and escorted by the Grand Prince, came to Black Horse Island.
Lister hosted a group of envoys at the pier.
The head of the Mission, with a standard steel cavity, bowed in charity.
“The Honourable Lister Tulip, Head of the Embassy of the Iron Ridge Kingdom, Kent Magic Elephant, on behalf of His Majesty Osborne Platinum, the only king of the Iron Ridge Kingdom, greets you and congratulates you on becoming a Dragon Knight. Greetings are also extended to His Excellency the Honourable Aguloides Truth, whose birth is yet another symbol of the secular walk of truth. ”
Lester owes his acceptance of his greetings: "I thank His Majesty Osborn for his greetings, and I extend my sincere greetings to His Majesty Osborn on behalf of me and His Excellency Archeroides. ”
“My lord Lester, allow me here to offer His Majesty's greetings to you and His Eminence Archeroides.” Kent waved, and the members of the Mission walked in with a bunch of gifts.
With Lester's Cavalier, one gift at a time, one gift at a time. They are very valuable gifts, gems, jade stones, magic metals, warcraft materials, and some specialties. For every transaction, the name of the gift is shouted out by the people of the Mission.
These precious gifts inspire many knights to breathe in cold breath and marvel at the value of the gift.
Lister waited with a smile for the gift to be delivered, a moment when the kingdom was sworn in with dignity and wealth, and he did not mind the conduct of the Mission.
It's just a slight dozen different styles of clothing for the Embassy.
With the magic elephant as his surname, the head of the mission, Kent, was born into a noble family that cultivated magic and fighting at the same time, like the magic goat family that the Grand Duchy of Sapphire had destroyed hundreds of years ago. It was about the king of Os who heard of the birth of a magic guide and chose such a family.
From this point of view, it is very sincere to see the king of Os.
As for the King of Os himself, Lester didn't know much about it, but he did listen to Grand Duke Sapphire talk about being a young, productive and talented monarch.
But not yet Dragon Knight.
The target of this young monarch is Platinum Dragon in the Nest of the Iron Ridge Kingdom, also known as Platinum Dragon or Platinum Dragon, the origin of the royal family name Platinum Platinum.
