After the Legend Chapter 151: Introduction
Minte was sent abroad for a month and a half to perform tasks, and finally had the opportunity to return to China for repairs. I don't want to move on the bed.
During this period of time, I was extremely exhausted. I didn't sleep for less than four hours a day, and I used clean water and dry food to deal with them casually when they were young and in good health. I returned home in rotation half a month ago. Although I was extremely tired, I occasionally had the thought of letting go, but looking at those poor people, I couldn't bear to let them be killed by monsters, so I had to hold on. Save people
Mintel is very fortunate that he has become a boy's body, and his physical strength is much stronger than before, otherwise he would have been exhausted.
He was in a daze, thinking about the next plan. He had eight days of vacation. He had a good night's sleep, and then he went back to find the potion material to make an antidote, and turned back into a girl, and then Grandpa Marshall, his own family. I'll take care of the house too, maybe my mom will come back...
"Bang bang bang!" There was a deafening knock on the door, he frowned and covered his ears with a pillow, but the sound was still very loud, so he had to get out of bed angrily, opened the door and saw, It turned out to be Veronica, so she asked angrily, "Why?!"
Veronica said, "Malory wants to see Mint, hurry up"
Mint wondered: "Isn't the handover completed? What is the matter with Mellory looking for me?"
"How do I know? Hurry up! It's urgent!" Veronica raised her legs and was about to leave, but turned back and confessed, "Remember, he wants to see Mint" and then left
Mint slammed the door angrily. Thinking back on her words, she felt a little strange. She had to wash her face again, get dressed, and walked out of the room. She was thinking of going to the office of the Intelligence Division, but she encountered an outreach in the corridor. Just as Sweeney in the room was about to say hello, he saw the other party running up in a hurry and pulled him away: "Why so slow?! Come with me!"
Mintel hurriedly held him back: "Where are you going? The boss is waiting to see me"
"This is to see him, he has already entered the palace first"
"Entering the palace?" Mint was surprised and followed Sweeney out of the house and galloped away
Ito Castle is very large. The Royal Palace is located in the center of the city. The palace complex is built on the edge of the urban area. The Noga Royal Family is different from the Shaonan Royal Family. The East Palace is built on a plain and planned very neatly. If you compare it to the outermost circle of the sun, the "sunshine" is where the offices of government departments and major agencies are located. Therefore, it does not take long to go from the headquarters to the palace.
Riding through buildings and small gardens in the middle of the street is the Heroes Square in front of the palace. Except for members of the royal family and some nobles and officials who have been granted the king's license, everyone who comes here must get off the horse and get off the car and walk. To enter the palace gate, you need to be searched by the guards.
After Minter and the others dismounted, Sweeney whispered a few words to the soldier next to him, who then pried off the horse. Minter looked at the majestic building complex in front of him and found that in the center of the square, the hero sculpture group in the center of the square was the most western one. Why did Chi Shu stand with his hand on the waist knife so like his grandfather in the portrait hanging on the floor when he was a child?
He hasn't been in Ito for long but remembers that he hadn't seen this statue three years ago. Is it a new site for the past few years?
"Mintel! What are you dazed about? Hurry up!" Sweeney walked a few dozen meters before realizing that he was still in the same place, urging him to keep up with him, looking back at the statue from time to time
It's really unlucky to hear that the hero statues here are only placed after the hero himself dies. Grandpa is still alive, why do you want to put it up
He murmured in a low voice, Sweeney was in a hurry, he didn't hear clearly, he just dragged him to the gate of the palace and took out a small bronze medal in front of the guard wearing a red knight dress and a Ugin helmet and raised it, just in.
The old rule of the palace is that, except for the soldiers and officers on duty in the palace, they are not allowed to bring weapons into the ground. Mintel also symbolically handed the sword hanging on his waist to the guards for safekeeping. After entering the gate, only I feel that the palace gate is full of green lawns, dotted with colorful flower beds, even in late autumn, the colors are still bright and dazzling. A spacious and straight avenue leads directly to the front of the palace complex. There are rows on the left and right sides. The marble building is the place where the noble council and the officials on duty in the palace work
The people driving the two-wheeled carriages on the side of the road wore gorgeous dresses and glanced arrogantly at Sweeney and Mint. Sweeney pulled Mint into the carriage and explained: "Go to the palace, be fast!" The coachman just gave his horse a light whip, started the carriage, and walked forward slowly, only a little faster than walking. Sweeney saw that he was not in a hurry. : "Please hurry up! The king urgently summons!"
The coachman glanced back at him with a blank expression, and gave the horse a light whip, speeding up his speed, muttering: "Everyone who comes in says that, I really look up to myself..."
Sweeney was so choked that he couldn't speak, Mint pulled him in a funny way: "Okay, what's the use of arguing with him? Tell me what's going on first, the king urgently summons us Why? Didn't the boss want to see me?"
Sweeney was about to answer when he caught sight of the coachman turning his ears and shut his mouth: "You'll find out later"
Mintel had no choice but to stop asking and enjoy the scenery along the way
I heard that this palace was successively built and perfected under the auspices of more than ten generations of kings and queens for hundreds of years. Although it is not as famous on the mainland as the "Golden Rose Palace" in Shaonan, it is well appreciated. Masterpieces of architectural art The palace complex is mainly made of hemp ash marble. After years of wind and rain erosion, it presents a light pink under the sunlight. The buildings of different ages have different styles, but in general they are dignified and dignified. Both gorgeous and exquisite buildings and buildings are always lined with flowerbeds with various patterns, occasionally dotted with several sculptures or fountains, and even the ground is made of bricks of different colors to make splendid patterns
The carriage went around a huge fountain and drove over the bridge over the moat before reaching the main gate of the palace. A small or two splendid halls, as well as the mirror gallery with ancient famous paintings and crystal lighting on both sides, arrived outside the king's study
Outside the study, there were more than a dozen attendants guarding Sweeney and took out a small bronze medal for the third time, which also showed that the king was urgently summoned, but the attendant still casually looked up and down, left, right, left, and right. Minte took a few steps before taking a few steps in and reporting to the next attendant, who looked at them for a while before actually entering the door to report
Minte frowned slightly. He was also a native who worked in front of a king of a country. Although East is far richer than Nuojia and more sophisticated in cultural affairs, is such cumbersome etiquette really necessary? ? If it is really urgent, will it be a mistake to procrastinate like this?
Besides, these attendants and female officials are too exaggerated, aren't they? He used to complain when he was a potionist at Nogar's court that the guards' attire was cumbersome and not as convenient as ordinary coquettish clothes, but now he looked at the gorgeous dresses on these attendants, including the large bundle of feathers on the men's hats and the women's heads. The gold, silver and gemstone ornaments on the upper neck, he can only say that the clothes with only a few gold and silver trims are really nothing.
The attendant quickly went out and called them: "The king wants to see you." The face is a little unsightly, maybe he was scolded for procrastinating?
Mint didn't have time to guess, so he followed Sweeney through the door, and was immediately taken aback
In the room not only the king and Mellory, but also the director, Ms. Leah, and several ministers, among whom the most familiar is the director of law and administration Duras, the director of finance, the director of foreign affairs, and several military officers The generals are all there, and almost all the most powerful people in East are here, and looking at their faces, it seems that there was a dispute just now, what happened?
Sweeney just saluted the king, and then walked out. Mint, who was still very obediently closing the door tightly, suddenly felt a little nervous, swallowed, and walked forward tremblingly to the king and everyone. A gift
Malory comforted him in a low voice: "Don't be nervous, Your Majesty wants to ask you something, just tell the truth." He nodded, but he felt a lot of pressure when he noticed the eyes of everyone on him. /
King Walfried III laughed hard: "Don't be afraid, child, I have been friends with your grandfather for many years, don't be too restrictive in front of me" Minte opened his eyes wide and quickly Looking at Mellory, the latter's face was also full of puzzlement and Miss Leia looked at the king with disapproval: "Your Majesty! The identity of this child should not have been exposed!"
The king just waved his hand: "I know, but everyone here can be trusted, as long as everyone doesn't disclose it to the outside world." He told Minte account "Earl Xiao can have such an arrogant grandson, and he is still Two, how could I not be happy for him?"
Huh? grandson?
Mintel was a little unsure of the intention of Valfred III, but the latter just smiled meaningfully, and said to the ministers who were surprised: "The identity of this child's grandmother is a little hard to say, but He is indeed the grandson of Earl Shaw, and has been working incognito in the security agency for a long time. His words can be trusted, and you don't have to worry about it."
Several ministers reluctantly agreed, but the generals were all interested in Minte, looked at him with joy, and whispered to each other about "too thin", "not strong enough", and "the chin really looks like his grandfather"" Nonsense, it's obvious that the eyebrows are more similar" and so on
Mintel suddenly felt at a loss, not knowing what to do, Ms. Liya coughed a few times, and drew everyone's attention before saying with a stern face: "Let's go back to the original topic! We don't have much time to do it. Waste!" Everyone whispered, but they finally stopped talking about Minte's body and appearance
Ria said to Mintel: "We received a report from the embassy to Normonka. As of the day of writing, they have not been able to see Gal II, and since Duke Jada has returned, I have been under house arrest all the time, only waiting for Gale II's order to deal with it. The officials and nobles of Nuojia don't pay attention to the war book of the demon domain. They ignore our proposal for an alliance and just delay calling you. Ask what's going on at Nomonka, you've been there for so long, you should know what they're thinking?"
Mintel hesitates: "What do you mean?"
"Let's talk about Earl Luther first." The Director of Foreign Affairs first requested, "The Security Agency also has someone in the embassy. According to the information found by that person, it is mainly this earl who is playing tricks. He seems to be He is very powerful in the Norga Palace, and many ministers are on his side.”
A general next to him also said: "He seems to have a hostile relationship with Duke Jada, which is not good for us. Although Duke Jada once planned to invade our country's territory, he has really seen a magical beast. Terrible place, I believe it will agree to form an alliance with us"
Minte pondered for a moment, then said: "Duke Jada's house arrest should not be life-threatening. Although he proposed to send troops, there are many people who agree with him, and even many nobles think that his plan is too much for the Nuojia people. In other words, it is not wrong for him to send troops, but it is wrong that he did not achieve the expected goal, but this is because of the intervening relationship of the Demon Domain, so it is not his responsibility to believe that many Nuojia people know what to do, so Gael II He will not deal with him for a long time. As for Luther..." He considered his words carefully: "He is the second son of the former Prince Mario. He is very mediocre in terms of talent, behavior and wisdom, and his ambition is so big that everyone can see it, Gal II. It is only because his brother and nephew have passed away that he and his younger brother will be concerned about him, but it is impossible to really entrust the important responsibility in the Noga Palace... There are many rumors, but it is not necessarily accurate that Prince Mario was once powerful, although Gale Both II and Jada have thought about reducing his influence as much as possible, but in order to maintain the stability of the situation, there must be many officials close to Prince Mario who stayed behind. These people will support Luthor, which is normal, but the key is Gale Second World's Thoughts"
"You mean... Gale II won't make Earl Luther the Crown Prince?"
Mint shook his head: "Of course, Jada is that if it weren't for the invasion of the Demon Realm, Gale II would probably let him go to the realm for two years of silence, and then return to the palace when he gets results, but now he doesn't Dare to let Jada out, but refused to really deal with him, it will be delayed until today, no decision has been made yet"
"Is this possible? Isn't Earl Luther his own nephew? Why would he rather wait for Jada to perform his deeds rather than make his own nephew the crown prince? Is there any basis for your judgment?"
"Of course." Mintel had completely forgotten to talk nervously and confidently at this time, "I spent two months by Gale II's side, and I know his character quite well. Although he seems very gentle and sentimental, But in fact, he is very rational in doing things. He knows in his heart what is good for the country. Under this premise, sometimes he can even put his personal feelings aside He was imprisoned; and when Prince Mario and his son both died tragically, Jada was rumored to be the real murderer, although he had doubts about Jada, but considering that there is no more suitable crown prince than Jada, he continued to reuse him, so even if he is very fond of him now The nephew Luther doesn't mean he will make him the crown prince"
Duras sighed, Director of Legal Affairs: "If he really thinks so, it is a pity that Duke Jada is now under house arrest, unable to communicate with the outside world, nor to participate in political affairs, otherwise he is likely to promote this covenant. "
Mint frowned and asked, "Even if Jada can't participate, doesn't Gal II have any opinion? He should understand how important this covenant is to their country. For the past month and a half, we I have been hunting monsters in the southeastern and southern regions of Nuoja to save civilians, but I didn't see the presence of Nuoja's troops. This is very unfair. Did something major happen to Nuomonka recently? Or is he sick again?"
Mallory whispered: "I didn't hear that he was sick. Our people once went to the palace physician's house to inquire. His health is not good, but it has not deteriorated. It may be better than when you left."
"Then why..."
Mallory glanced at Ms. Leah, saw the other party nodded lightly, and then handed a document to Mintel: "Although the mission cannot see Gal II, but when they contact other ministers to get in the door , I heard some of their thoughts, and Nuojia seems to have always been hostile to our East, and believes that their country is densely populated with mountains and far away from the Demon Realm, and it is impossible for Warcraft to have a real impact on them, but once they agree to the request for an alliance, it is equivalent to By allowing our troops to enter and leave the Norga borders, we will occupy their lands and plunder their possessions and resources I must say that they seem to regard us as their own"
Mint took the document and looked at it, frowning more and more, and King Valfred III asked, "Son, do you know what other people in Norga say can have an impact on Gale II? What does this person like? We need a lobbyist with enough weight"
Mintel fell into deep thought, and everyone around them began to discuss on their own:
"According to what I said, their faces are really disgusting. Just leave them alone and let them be eaten up by monsters! They are not good people anyway!"
"I can't say that. If the Demon Domain really occupied Nuojia, as a neighboring country, we can't avoid it any longer"
"But now they're acting like we're begging them, you know we're helping"
"Maybe they will realize how important alliances are when they really suffer?"
Mint looked up at Walfred III, hesitant to say anything, the latter smiled and asked, "Son, what do you want to say? It doesn't matter if you say it boldly"
Mint asked hesitantly: "Your Majesty, do you decide to conclude this covenant temporarily, or do you intend to continue it after the war?"
Walfred III raised his eyebrows: "What do you say?"
"If it is a temporary decision, then as long as someone convinces Gal II with the painful reality, it will be fine. Now that the southeast area of Nuojia has suffered heavy casualties, probably no one can successfully pass the news back to Normonca. He doesn't know yet, but If you plan to maintain the covenant after the war, then... maybe you can use another way.” Mint took a deep breath and said his thoughts, “The Norga people have never stopped the idea of invading the southern unification continent, so Even a rational and moderate person like Gale II has no objection to doing so in his heart. This is not only because the obsession held by the descendants of Nicodemus the Great is more forced by reality.”
"Are you making excuses for their aggressive behavior?!" A general interrupted his words with a bad face
Mint turned to him: "Please let me finish, Your Majesty, I'm not making excuses for them, I just want to analyze why they think this way"
Walfred III said: "You tell me, I'm also very interested"
"Nuojia is mountainous and arable land is scarce. In the plateau in the north, due to climate reasons, food production cannot be guaranteed to be self-sufficient. As more and more of the necessities of life, the Dinoga people rely on foreign countries to survive, and they turn to repurpose their cultivated land, resulting in lower food production. Since Prince Mario ordered the expulsion of foreigners, trade has been blocked, the domestic food supply in Nuojia is in short supply, and the army's The expansion also reduces the labor force, which indirectly leads to a further decline in food production. Their population is increasing, but they are getting hungry, so they have to seek outward development to consume energy to obtain enough food and fertile arable land. I don’t mean them. is the right thing to do, but if we can help them solve this problem, there is a chance for a covenant between the two countries to be struck quickly and to last long after the war.”
Walfred III thoughtfully: "You mean..."
"Provide them with food seeds at low prices, or exchange seeds for their horses and furs. In the northern part of our country, the Metonedonia area, the climate is similar to that of the eastern part of Norja, at most because there is Mount Ture that blocks the cold in the north. If the air is warmer, wheat, corn, potatoes, etc. are grown in Metonedonia, and the yield is very high. If you sell the seeds to Nuojia at low or market prices, and send experienced farmers to guide, you can help Nuojia get rid of When the famine comes, they will not have the most important factor for foreign aggression.”
Malory first objected: "Mintel, this kind of idea is too naive. Whether the Nuojia people are willing to accept it is not necessarily. Once they have enough food, they will have more confidence to invade us"
Mintel hurriedly said: "Gail II tried to grow round rice, but it didn't work. Before this year's coup, he was going to Xike to buy wheat seeds, so he will probably agree to listen to me. Said that some grain seeds are very special, and the grain that is planted cannot be kept. We can give this seed to them. If they really have the intention of aggression, we will immediately cut off the supply and they will not be able to plant any more grain." He He turned to Valfred III again and said, "Now because most of the young men from Nuojia have entered the army, they are under-labored, but if the seeds we provide are really useful, with the personality of Gael II, it is very likely that they will Choose to reduce the number of troops in order to increase the labor force!"
Walfred III and Melory hesitated~IndoMTL.com~ Other ministers were also discussing in private Mintel approached Melory and whispered: "The relationship between the two countries is done, just send someone to go. It's more convenient, it's not so easy for them to prepare for the war without telling us." McLory glanced at him, turned his head and whispered to Ms. Leah
The bigwigs are talking to each other, and they haven't reached an agreement for a long time. Mintel waits nervously, and his heart is already in a mess. He doesn't know if he's doing it right, but if it can really help Nuojia, maybe... People will no longer be hostile, and Nuojia people can live a better life
After a full two hours, everyone finally negotiated an acceptable plan. Except for some changes in the terms, most of them were adapted from Mintel's proposal, but the details were more rigorous, and it was more suitable for Easter. beneficial
Walfred III finally made a decision: "Just follow this plan! Mint, you will leave tomorrow, and I will send an envoy to go to Nomonka with you to meet the envoy, and let them follow the This plan renews the covenant and asks you to familiarize yourself with the local situation and be sure to help the mission complete its mission"
"But there is still my order in Nuojia..." Before Minte could finish his words, Mellory stretched out his hand to hold his shoulder and said with a smile: "About this...there will be a solution. land”
