"Hero of late summer, on behalf of the Elf Royal Family, I would like to extend my sincere greetings to you. May the Goddess of Life bless you!"
As soon as he arrived at the river, Lampard, the prince of late summer, stepped forward to shake Ganon's hand with great enthusiasm.
"Hello, hello! Welcome to my territory, His Highness Lampard."
While Ganon was chatting with the other party, his eyes quickly scanned the entourage behind Prince Lampard and the boat docked on the river bank.
He noticed that there were several wooden boxes on the ship, and a knowing smile appeared in his heart.
His favorite guests came with gifts.
"I think you should have heard from Bell that our negotiations with the empire are over. How to say, let's just say that the worst situation has been avoided. This is also thanks to Mr. Ganouen who defended the situation for us. Thank you very much for joining the western front," Lampard said.
"This is what I should do." Ganouen responded politely, thinking that he should give me those boxes quickly.
"I came here mainly to ask Mr. Ganouen whether he has any intention to renew his contract?" Lampard said.
"Are you asking me to continue to protect the western region of Muxia?" Ganon had expected this.
"Yes, the new emperor of the empire has shown such aggressive intentions. Mu Xia has to make plans. We hope to continue our alliance with Mr. Ganouen."
Lampard then explained the conditions of the alliance proposed by Mu Xia. The general idea was to allow Ganon to continue to provide protection for Mu Xia's town. In contrast, Ganon could also propose the scope of his territory to Mu Xia. Muxia will also provide support when Ganon's territory is attacked.
"Yes, actually I happen to have this intention." Ganouen readily expressed his intention. He had already considered this matter.
The battle between the Empire and Mu Xia only lasted for more than three months. In fact, it could only be regarded as a small-scale conflict.
The empire should be dormant for a while in the short term, but when they are ready, there will definitely be big moves in the future.
The next target may be Mu Xia, or it may be Ganon's territory. They have a common warning target and have a reason to continue to join forces.
"That's great!" Lampard happily extended his hand again, "This time I just want to confirm an intention with you, and then we will contact you to finalize the details and choose a date to formally sign the alliance."
"No problem." Ganouen shook hands with Lampard and asked casually, "Is this why you came here this time?"
If you just want to confirm your intention, a letter will suffice.
The implication of Ganon's words is already obvious - now it's time to mention the few boxes on the ship.
But he was also a little confused at the same time. Since it was a joint defense covenant, Mu Xia didn't actually need to pay him anything extra.
As a thank you for protecting the Muqiu City, Patriz had actually paid for it with a divine weapon.
If these boxes are gifts, what is the reason for them?
"There is one more thing I want to talk to you about." Lampard still smiled politely, "Have you and Bell already discussed the wedding date?"
As soon as he said this, the polite smile on Ganon's face froze: "What?"
"Huh? Didn't she say recently..." Lampard paused here, and then said with a look of realization, "Oh, that's it. Oh, this girl is really spreading such news."
"What did she say?" Ganouen straightened his expression.
During the war, Isabel had been living in the Endless Tower.
When Mu Xia and the Empire ceased fighting and the situation eased, Isabel went back to the palace to visit twice, and the result of the negotiations with the Empire was what she had heard about the last time she went back.
Listening to what Lampard meant, Isabel seemed to have said some things when she went back.
Recalling Isbell's meaningful smile at the dinner table in the morning, Ganouen had a bad premonition.
"She has always said that Mr. Ganouen is very passionate about her, and recently he even proposed marriage. I was thinking that this is not the case, and sure enough, this girl is really naughty, but you can also see it. , She is sincere to you, Mr. Ganouen, and she must want her father and mother to agree as soon as possible."
Lampard said with a smile, trying to pull away the hand held by Ganouen.
That dead girl! Ganon made a mental note for Isbell, and suddenly felt that something was wrong. He grabbed Lampard's hand that was about to be taken away, and asked in a lowered voice:
"You all already know what kind of virtue she is, and you also know that she took the initiative to come to me. What's the point of her telling you this lie? Why do you look like you just figured it out?"
Lampard's face changed slightly as his hand was firmly grasped by the opponent, but he soon forced out a polite smile:
"We... are also seriously considering this matter. Mr. Ganouen shouldn't hate Bell either! Bell is very passionate about you again... My father had some objections at first, but now he has relaxed. After all, Ganouen is You are the hero who supported Mu Xia in the crisis! Mr. Ganouen, do you have any concerns?"
"I have no worries." Ganon replied expressionlessly.
"Then it's no problem!" Lampard laughed dryly and tried to pull his hand back again.
But Ganouen held on tightly, not giving him any chance to escape: "So, what are you planning?"
The direction of the elf royal family suddenly followed Isabel. The more Ganon heard, the more he felt something was wrong.
"Well, Bell's marriage is a big deal after all. It will require a little... political propaganda!" Lampard's smile became stiffer.
"What kind of publicity? As a person involved, I should know about it, right?" Ganon asked, staring into Lampard's eyes.
"It's just a little bit of a love story packaged for the public - the entire script from the time you and Bell accidentally met each other a long time ago to the time you stood up to protect Mu Xia for her." Lampard did not look directly into Ganouen's eyes.
Just to this extent, does this guy need to show such a guilty conscience?
Ganon thought for a moment: "But there are many people in the palace who know about the scandal Bei Er has made. They must know that this is not the case, right? No, that's not right!"
He suddenly realized something, and the strength in his hand suddenly became stronger: "If you publicize that she and I have known each other for a long time, won't some people think that those things have something to do with me!?"
Combining this matter with the propaganda of his brainwashing Zhenna from the empire, it seems that it is easy to form the image of a "different" dragon with a special hobby for humanoid creatures.
Lampard shivered in pain, trying to break away from Ganon but to no avail. Ganon still had terrifying strength even if he turned into a human form, while Lampard was just an extraordinary mage.
Lampard broke away anxiously and defended himself very quickly: "It's okay. Only the palace and a small number of people in the royal city know about it... Well, Mr. Ganouen, please relax your hand. My hand is a little tight." pain!"
"Isn't it true that only a small number of people in the palace know about it? How come even people in the palace know about it?" Ganon was surprised.
Lampard realized that he had accidentally lost his mouth in a panic, and looked like something was wrong.
Ganon suddenly understood: "Could it be that the incident has spread, so you plan to use me?"
Ganon suddenly figured out what was going on at this moment.
The Elf Royal Family ordered to block the news, but there was no airtight wall in the world. Such impactful gossip eventually spread outside the palace.
The princess of the Muxia royal family is a pervert with a strange hobby for dragons. This kind of thing will undoubtedly cause a big blow to the prestige of the Muxia royal family.
Especially once someone attributes this to the education problems of the Muxia royal family (which is indeed the case), some people will begin to wonder if other members of the royal family also have problems.
This is undoubtedly a huge problem for the Elf Royal Family. If you want to stop the loss in time, you must find a "culprit".
Ganouen is such a suitable target. Once the political propaganda story they designed spreads, in the eyes of people who don't know the inside story, it is just a novel love story.
And those who knew about the "scandal" within the palace, after hearing the "fact" that the princess and the red dragon had known each other for a long time, would most likely blame it on Ganoun - it was the red dragon that influenced the princess, maybe It was only after the princess fell in love with him that she became interested in that kind of work. It is even possible that the red dragon specifically used this kind of thing to influence the princess.
All in all, no matter what happens, Isbel will only become a victim, and the reputation of the Elf Royal Family, although not undamaged, can at least avoid the most devastating blow. It's just that Ganon's image as a man who had a special hobby and poisoned the elf princess, but was barely recognized by the royal family for his achievements in protecting Muxia, was firmly established in the hearts of these people.
So the world where only the red dragon is injured is completed!
"I'm the victim of Isbell's unauthorized entanglement, right? I helped you, and you treat me like this?" Ganon's face darkened instantly, and the strength in his hands increased.
He suddenly remembered that Princess Patriz had said before that she might trouble him with a "little thing", and the plan had already been decided at that time.
All these elven royal families are so unruly. It seems that Isbel's behavior is indeed influenced by family tradition.
Lampard immediately felt the risk of shattering his hand bones, but he was still a man. He endured the severe pain and tensed up his expression, and managed to squeeze out a voice: "Of course we...are also prepared with some intentions!!"
He turned back with a look, and his men immediately opened the three boxes, which were filled with gold, silver, jewelry and elven crafts.
Emotions are the compensation and hush money for this matter! ! Ganon finally understood the meaning of these gifts.
"More money is required." Ganon's face was expressionless.
"We just finished fighting...can we have one more box?" Lampard couldn't help but tremble all over.
"Two boxes."
"I know, no problem!!" In order to save his hand, Lampard agreed simply.
Only then did Ganon let go.
"Thank you sincerely for your contribution to the Muxia royal family!" Lampard covered his swollen hand and nodded vigorously to Ganouen. "Let's stop talking here for today. It's time for me to say goodbye!"
"Okay, see you later." Ganon sighed, "Don't forget to make up for those two boxes."
"To be honest, we are very sorry. It is true. Mr. Ganouen may be targeted by other forces this time. Please be careful and contact us in time if there is any situation." Before leaving, Lampa said De said suddenly.
"You're welcome. I have been targeted by the empire for a long time. This time it is necessary to take action. I can't watch this place being occupied by the empire." Ganon shook his head.
"No, I'm talking about forces outside the empire." Lampard said sternly, "The dark elves of Nitriland and the 'Maze' of the Night Blade family gather the best assassins and spies in the continent. Mu Xia has always been Their goals inevitably have their eyes and ears. I think... Mr. Ganouen's name may have spread over there."
