Lord of the Oasis Chapter 691: .The visit of the elf king
The loneliness of being a monarch, in these days. Kant's understanding is getting deeper and deeper.
Maybe this is also related to his own requirements. In the face of genius politicians, it is also necessary to sacrifice a certain amount in exchange for the gains you want.
In contrast, the King of the Elf Kingdom next door seems to be much better off.
While Kant was contemplating the difference between himself and the Elf King, the Elf King unexpectedly visited.
The news reached the palace a few days before the Elf King and his party arrived at the gate of the Calradia Empire.
"Why so suddenly?" Kant thought silently in his heart after listening to the messenger's message.
The status of the Elf Kingdom and the Calradia Empire in this area can be said to be neck and neck.
And there are frequent military and commercial exchanges between the two countries. A solid relationship.
Even if the other party announces a sudden visit, this is the battle where the elf king is the lord of a country and travels thousands of miles. Kant also had to go to the city gate to meet him.
After instructing subordinates to make relevant preparations.
Kant rode a horse on the day the Elf King visited, and led the entire bodyguard to the city gate to greet him.
The Elf King probably didn't expect Kant to come in person, and when he saw Kant himself, he couldn't help but be surprised.
The two reminisced about the past while riding on horseback, and talked about the development of the Elf Kingdom and Cumberland on horseback.
After arriving at the palace, Kant invited the Elf King to sit in the Senate Hall. And let the attendants prepare tea to understand the summer heat.
The two sat opposite each other and rested for a while.
Kant finally opened his mouth and asked: "Is there something very important for His Royal Highness to come here in person this time?"
"This time I'm here mainly for two things: the first thing is to express belated congratulations to the Calradia Empire. The second thing is to explain to you, Lord Kant, that this belated congratulations The reason." The Elf King responded directly without further delay.
"It has been more than three months since the founding of the country. Since His Royal Highness the Elf King wanted to visit in person, he was unable to arrive in time. It must be because of some affairs. I wonder what kind of predicament the Elf Kingdom has encountered?" Kant analyzed After a while, he asked.
In his heart, he vaguely felt that the troubles encountered by the Elf Kingdom were also related to the Calradia Empire.
"This predicament has something to do with Cumberland." The Elf King glanced at Kant with admiration, and continued: "The seaport in the Elf Kingdom has been built for more than a hundred years. During this period, Every 60 years, we will follow the instructions of the gnome craftsmen and ask them to come for maintenance and inspection. Because this is a practice that must be implemented in countries that employ gnome craftsmen. Only this year, we have not been able to contact the people of the gnome country. ."
Kant was a little surprised to hear the words 'Dwarf Country', until he had heard all the words of the Elf King. Kant couldn't help but mention: "I heard that the people of the dwarf country have moved from the original address. Maybe..."
The elf king listened to Kant's words, shook his head and said: "They moved because the orcs occupied their territory. I know that too. The gnomes sent us a letter to announce their new address, just waiting for us When I looked for people by their addresses, they couldn't find them."
"I didn't expect that they moved to avoid war." Kant asked in surprise: "Where did they go?"
"We don't know this either. The investigation has been going on for several months and still can't come up with any results. So I want to use the power of the Calradia Empire to help find their traces together." The Elf King requested.
Kant frowned as he thought, thinking back to his time in Cumberland. Days with Vivienne and the dwarf craftsmen. I recalled the complicated emotions in the eyes of other gnome craftsmen every time they looked at Vivian.
Now, when combined with the facts at the time, everything makes sense.
Vivian's hand should have been wounded while participating in the battle, although the dwarf said it harshly. But in fact, the nature is kind, does not like to fight, and is relatively timid. For them, it is better to cherish their own hands, give up the land, and build a new home in other places.
And Vivian should be one of the few dwarfs who resolutely resisted and participated in the actual struggle. In the eyes of other dwarfs who gave up resistance: even if she was regarded as an alien, she should be distressed immediately , and a respected object.
So, when Vivien is the leader, no dwarf will want to disobey her orders.
Kant has pieced together all his previous memories.
The Gnomish Craftsmen did, unintentionally, bring many twists to Cumberland.
Kant didn't know how deep the bond between the dwarf country and the elf country was, so that the elf king traveled in the desert for nearly half a month and came to Calradia to ask for help.
However, according to Kant's temperament, since he knew that such a thing happened to the people who helped him, he would not intend to sit idly by.
After so much deliberation.
Kant said solemnly to the Elf King: "I have worked with the dwarf craftsmen for a while, since they may be in danger. Calradia will also help to investigate the facts clearly, Your Highness the Elf King, you don't need to worried."
"Thank you, Lord Kant." The Elf King finally eased his nervous expression. Thank you to Kant.
There should be a banquet in the palace for His Royal Highness the Elf King in the evening.
At that time, ministers from both countries will be invited to come.
Thinking of this, Kant did not ask the Elf King about the information currently in the hands of the Elf Nation. Instead, he told him to hurry back to his residence to rest.
It's not too early after all.
The elf king understood the meaning of Kant's words, and after saying goodbye to each other, he let the guards lead the way out of the palace.
The palace is brightly lit at night.
Kant was frightened by this battle of the Ministry of Rites again~IndoMTL.com~ Dressed in fancy clothes, on the way to the banquet hall, he was thinking about whether to remove this group of people from the Ministry of Rites. .
Stepping into the threshold of the banquet hall, the ministers of the two countries who were sitting stood up one after another and saluted Kant.
Kant waved his hand, motioning them to sit down.
Then he stepped up the stairs and sat on the main seat. Next to his table, was the position of the elf king.
"His Royal Highness the Elf King."
Hearing the greetings from the crowd, Kant looked up to the door.
The Elf King walked in wearing a yellow brocade robe.
Kant made a color and asked the attendants around him to go down to pick up His Royal Highness the Elf King.
His Royal Highness the Elf King doesn't seem to know where he is. After the guards walked around him and invited him to sit down, he walked towards Kant with a smile on his face.
