No wonder Noel judged in advance that the Quiet Ones would fiercely oppose it. Over a long period of time, the symbols of national will of the four major countries have become tainted with the taste of the emperor's private soldiers, but everything they have stems from the national heritage that has stood for hundreds of years. System, whether out of gratitude or to maintain status, they do not want their country to decline.
Noel voluntarily gave up the large territory that the empire had developed so far, and bluntly said that this was a far-sighted move. Let alone the Quiet One, Lu Yu would also find it difficult to accept it for a while. After all, in the world he lives in, which emperor dares to show off like this? I'm afraid that if he doesn't wait for the edict to go out, someone will respectfully pick him up and ask...
"Why did your Majesty rebel?"
But this way of thinking cannot be completely established in the four major countries of Mela. Sligo is a melting pot of races. The major races have been living together for hundreds of years, but the so-called national identity only exists along the trade routes. , densely populated, and the city-state with the greatest influence in Sligo, the rest of the region is more like living in partnership with this great empire. Noel wants to change the passive status quo, and it is hard to say that he is trying to survive by cutting off his tail...
Such an option appeared on every king in the history of Meira, and it is estimated that no one dared to touch it. Perhaps only Zenil of Solon could follow up on this madness. After all, he was also a very charismatic and far-sighted man. people.
Now that he has made a choice, he must have also prepared for the consequences of failure. This is an unavoidable responsibility as an emperor.
Sera's thinking direction is completely different from that of Lu Yu: "He actually revealed his idea to you before he implemented it... In his heart, you are even more credible than the Silent One who is loyal to Sligo. Indeed, from the bottom of his heart Deep down, I think you are the best friend who will not harm his interests."
"Thinking about how he can manage a country full of contradictions and make it look bright on the outside by unleashing his true nature. Only when disaster strikes can he barely see a corner of the internal turmoil. This guy must be able to realize that I really have no interest in interfering with this continent." Lu Yu was quite emotional.
"Then will you help him?"
"It will definitely help." Lu Yu said.
After receiving Lu Yu's affirmative reply, Noel felt relieved.
Xiao Jingjing on the side held her chin and sighed: "It's just as you guessed. I helped you without hesitation... Is this the mutual understanding between perverts?"
Noel pinched Xiao Jiji's face and emphasized again: "I am a pervert, he is not."
After speaking, he focused on some details on reception and sightseeing, hoping that the Dawn Leader would be able to impress the Silent Ones to the greatest extent.
Lu Yu and Sera didn't know whether this reception would be the key for Noel to influence the thoughts of the Quiet Ones, but they still took advantage of the fish pot to make arrangements for this meaningful visit.
After being awakened overnight, Mu Mu and Sigrid received their own tasks. Lu Yu and Sera gave the basic outline, and the rest was left to these two "tour guides" to do the rest.
The two of them finished the fish pot just in time, even the soup was poured on the leftover rice and they ate it all. Sera burped with satisfaction, got up and left.
Suddenly, she turned around, ignoring the slime girl who was cleaning the dining cart, and glanced at Lu Yu suspiciously.
"What's wrong?"
"No, it's nothing."
Sera turned around and left, returned to the room, turned on the soundproofing circle, and then muttered in confusion: "It's strange, why didn't he have his ears for so long..."
As she spoke, her ears twitched.
After sending the slimes away, Lu Yu stretched out comfortably and stood on the balcony looking into the distance. In the completely silent Dawn Territory, only the slimes were still alive and kicking.
The moon was sparse and bathed in silver-white moonlight. Lu Yu smiled: "Tomorrow night, the moonlight will definitely be good."
…
…
The flying dragon flew across the blue sea at low altitude, leaving a white water line visible to the naked eye. The turbulent water splashes disturbed the pure blue, making the sea tribe who were about to surface tremble.
Phoebe leaned against the tightly wrapped box that was specially marked "Lu Yu personally opened it". She listened to the whistling wind in her ears and twisted a strand of soft hair with her fingers. She had a serious look on her face.
The beautiful and magnificent scenery around her didn't attract her in the slightest. Phoebe was always immersed in her thoughts.
Phoebe, who came from a humble background, was transferred back to the capital after experiencing three major events: the tainted spirit, the turbulence of the magic tide, and the invasion of the sea monster. After realizing her talent, she became a key training target of the Quiet, in order to be able to Matching the pace of Noel, the most "vibrant" Emperor Sligo has ever seen.
However, Phoebe and Noel didn't leave a good impression on each other when they first met - she didn't think she should put too much trust in the Dawn Leader, while Noel thought her level was perfectly in line with the Quiet Ones in recent years. The stereotype of players who use their brains is becoming less and less common.
After several encounters, the two sides still continued the "good impression" of hating each other. The leader of the Silent Ones [Silence] once said that this is a process that all Silent Ones who are promoted to Noel must go through. The emperor and the others had "enjoyed" a more painful transition period, and they always had to force themselves to believe that the successors of the former emperor would not tear the entire country to pieces. Compared with the experiences of this group of old people, Phoebe's experiences were all small scenes of gentle breeze and drizzle.
Phoebe also tried to convince herself, "Noel is like this, you should have been mentally prepared."
But when she was reporting information the night before yesterday, she happened to encounter Noel playing with the maids. Listening to the unusually harsh and heavy breathing in the hall, she couldn't help but interrupt the beautiful tune with words.
Then Phoebe was named out of this far journey.
Seeking permission from the Dawn Territory, and then carefully observing and recording what she sees in the Dawn Territory. In addition to delivering gifts, this is her mission.
Phoebe felt that the order jointly issued by the Quiet One and Noel was a bit funny. They had already separated the southwestern border of Mera. How could the leader of the Dawn Leader, who had become the emerging force of Mera earlier than many bad guys and rotten shrimps, be able to see a lot of things for her? ?
Just because His Majesty Noel thinks he has "a deep friendship with Lu Yu, the lord of the Dawn Territory"?
Interests come first, and friendship is extremely fragile. Can your majesty, as wise as you are, not see this clearly?
The undulating mountains of the Red Flame Mountains came into view, and Phoebe stood up against the wind, overlooking the mountains.
The dominant vampire race that dominated this area in the past has become an insignificant minion in front of the Dawn Territory. After the Dawn Territory actually took control of this area, the people here have changed the name of "Red Flame" to "Morning Dawn" to show that Respect for the Dawn Territory, whose influence has already touched the surrounding areas.
Sensing the fluctuating aura of magic power, the flying dragon slowly slowed down and landed on the ground.
Phoebe could sense that there was a very wide range of magic barriers lying in front of her. This was consistent with what the companions who collected information about the Dawn Territory said. The Dawn Territory had amazing magic circle skills.
She was thinking about how to remind the morning sun that a visitor had arrived. The scenery in the distance was distorted and swaying, and ripples appeared in the void.
It was a half-dragon, wearing a black tunic evening gown created by His Majesty Noel, with a polite smile on his face that was hard to fault.
"Phoebe the Silent?" The half-dragon bowed slightly, "The acting lord of Dawn, Sigrid says hello to you."
Acting Lord, this title thrown out in the self-introduction made Phoebe stunned for a few seconds. She never expected that such a person would greet her personally. Her identity should be that of the housekeeper, right?
"Say hello to you too, agent... no, Ms. Sigrid." Phoebe almost slipped her tongue, "Following His Majesty Noel's order, I sent a gift to His Excellency Lord Yu, the leader of the morning sun."
Sigrid snapped her fingers, and a gap appeared in the airtight barrier, allowing the flying dragon carrying the gift to pass through easily.
A white wolf with smooth and silky hair walked up to Phoebe and lay down.
"please."
With that said, Sigrid turned over and mounted a Pegasus. Phoebe noticed that her Pegasus was exceptionally strong, even more majestic than the carefully raised war horses in Sligo Racecourse.
Riding a giant wolf for the first time, Phoebe felt particularly fresh. She looked back at the flying dragon and found that it was surrounded by many slimes, ready to unload.
"Gift……"
"Don't worry, the slimes will bring the gifts to the lord's residence, and the flying dragon will be fed by outstanding members of the animal husbandry team."
Sure enough, after the slime left with the gift, several Dawn Territory citizens who came pushing carts filled with food came to the flying dragon. Some of them skillfully checked his body, while others were responsible for feeding him. The flying dragon narrowed his eyes slightly in comfort.
Sigrid made a "please" gesture to the front, and waited until the white wolf under Phoebe's crotch started to move, then she gently clamped the horse's belly and followed, always landing half of Phoebe's body.
Phoebe, who had studied etiquette, knew what this meant, and she was a little stunned.
"As the acting lord, Miss Sigrid should have a lot of things to be busy with, right?"
"There should be nothing more important than receiving you now."
"Is it the unique sense of humor in Dawnland?" Phoebe smiled.
"The white wolf under Miss Phoebe is a good partner of Lord Gulu and Lord Lu Yu." Seeing Phoebe sitting on pins and needles, Sigrid explained slowly, "No need to worry, this is exactly what our lord meant, Noe You are a friend of Lord Lu Yu, and since you are here as an envoy, you should naturally receive the best hospitality. If the Lord were not a little busy at the moment, then they would be the ones receiving you."
Phoebe remembered her mission, and she pretended to be nonchalant and said: "Your Majesty asked me to personally express my gratitude to the Dawn Lords."
"Please rest assured that the lords have agreed to meet you before evening. Before that, you can choose to wait quietly, or you can wander with me in the Dawn Territory."
She didn't expect everything to go so smoothly. Phoebe was overjoyed. She knew very well that Sigrid's accompanying her meant monitoring her, but at least she wasn't rejected outright.
In the castle, Lu Yu, who was watching the projection, sent a message to Noel.
"She has arrived. In addition to the highest level of hospitality, I will ask my people to give her hints and information to help you achieve the desired goal."
After the communication was completed, Lu Yu returned to the room and unfolded the kitchen utensils packed from the kitchen.
"This moment has been long awaited...it's time."
