On the empty boat.
With rare free time, Filia asked: "What did Uncle Mai find out?"
Rogge took out Melloud's information and showed it to Filia, and said: "The person who acquired the abnormal magic core was hired. The hirer is unknown. In addition to the Port of Ipuni, there are people in several other seaports and even inland cities. Acquiring abnormal magic core."
"The abnormal magic core flows to the west?"
"Yes, according to the acquirer, the acquired abnormal magic core was required to be sent to a certain city in the west, and a dedicated person was assigned to receive it. As for the specific city, Uncle Mai did not find out."
Filia thought for a while and asked: "The territory of the Lion Family is in the northeast of the empire, isn't it them?"
"Not necessarily, it may also be done by forces attached to the Lion Family, and we don't rule out the possibility of deliberately disrupting the view."
"Iron Wall City is to the west."
"Yes."
Rogge and Filia had analyzed the identity of the person who gave birth to Warcraft when they were looking at Durco's inheritance. Porter was the object of suspicion. Now that another clue vaguely points to him, the two of them are even more suspicious of Porter. layer.
Rogge said: "But the area in the west of the empire is still too large."
"I will notify the family and ask them to investigate all suspicious objects in the west."
"Well, this is the safest way."
Behind the two of them, in the inconspicuous shadow, the shadow fluctuated, and Sonia appeared.
Rogge looked back, and this time the assassin girl nodded.
The big fish emerged from the water.
…………
Odens, the capital of the empire.
After several days of flying, Helena and Lanzao arrived at the only epic city in the Nalan Empire.
At this time, Rogge's team was still on its way back to Holk City. After all, compared to Haihualong's flying speed, the airship seemed "slow".
Helena looked up at the towering city walls of Odens and couldn't help but said: "The walls of the empire are all built so high."
The blue algae behind her nodded in agreement and said: "Yes, this Odens city is not too big, but the city wall is so high, is it a bit wasteful?"
Pedestrians passing by couldn't help but find it funny after hearing what the two said. They shook their heads and looked at them like country bumpkins, but they were amazed by their temperament and beautiful half of their faces.
But so what? Those are two beautiful country bumpkins too.
The reason why passers-by could only see half of Helena and Blue Algae's faces was because they were wearing hoods and veils. There has been wind and sand near Odens recently, and the girls with delicate skin of the sea tribe can't stand it, so they must cover it up.
With their blue hair hidden, passers-by didn't see that they were from the Sea Clan, and thought they were people who had never been to a big city.
Thinking about it, when they first saw Odens City, they were deeply shocked by this huge city. These two ignorant women actually said that Odens City was not too big. It was really ridiculous!
Lan Zao had enough of seeing the city wall and asked, "Your Highness, shall we go in?"
"Hey, she's still a princess. Then I'm not a prince, haha." The passerby thought to himself.
Helena tightened her hood and said, "Well, the wind and sand are too strong. I don't want to wait too long. Let's fly in directly."
"Haha, I can fly. I don't even need to fly. I can cross the city wall with just one jump." The passerby thought to himself.
"As commanded."
The two summoned Haihualong at the same time, jumped onto the dragon's back with a slight jump, and the dragon flew straight to Odens City.
Lan Zao had enough energy and shouted loudly: "Princess Helena of Weihai Kingdom has arrived, please see Emperor Charles!"
Passerby: ⊙0⊙
…………
In the city of Odens, the Royal Palace.
The third princess of the Nalan Empire is leading Helena on the way to meet Emperor Charles.
The third princess seemed to have a lively and active character. She complained as she walked: "Her Royal Highness Princess Helena, next time you enter the city, please go through the city gate. Look at the panic of the guards. If this activates the city's Defensive magic, you and your dragon will be injured!"
"I don't want to wait too long."
"It won't take long, you don't even have to wait. After receiving your letter, my father asked me to stay at the city gate all the time, just to receive you!"
"Oh, got it."
"...Why is Her Royal Highness the princess so cold to me? Is there something wrong with my reception?" The third princess clasped her hands together and covered her chest, pretending to be pitiful.
Helena glanced at her sideways and said calmly: "No, the reception was good and I didn't keep me waiting for a long time. It's just that I have seen a really cute little girl, and I'm too lazy to look at your pretense."
The third princess stopped, the pitiful expression disappeared from her face and became expressionless.
Helena did not stop and said as she walked forward: "Do your duty of leading the way."
The third princess paused for a moment, then suddenly patted her cheek hard, two smiles of unknown authenticity appeared, and she quickly caught up with Helena, "I understand, my father is in the meeting hall, please go this way, Princess."
The palace is not too big. After turning two corners, the meeting hall is right in front of you.
The third princess stopped outside the hall, gave an imperial salute to Helena, and said: "Father is waiting for you inside. If you need anything else, just say hello. I will wait for you here."
"No, you go do your thing."
After Helena finished speaking, she walked straight into the meeting hall without waiting for the third princess to answer.
The third princess stood up and looked at Helena's back being obscured by the slowly closing door of the chamber. The smile on her face disappeared and became expressionless.
"It's boring." The third princess said.
Inside the meeting hall.
There were only two people in the huge hall, Emperor Charles and Helena, and not a single guard.
This was not because he had to have a secret conversation with Helena and turned away the guards, but because Prince Charles did not have any guards at all.
As the strongest man in the Nalan Empire, Charles, who was close to the level of a god of war, had absolute confidence that no one would attack him without their brains.
Charles sat at the head table, while Helena chose a seat where she felt most comfortable.
"Princess Helena, on behalf of the Nalan Empire, I would like to express my highest respect to you and welcome you to our Nalan Empire as a guest." Although from Helena's letter and the way she just rode the dragon directly into the city, it can be said that Knowing a little about the princess's character, Charles started with the safest polite words.
"Hello, Emperor Charles." Helena gave Emperor Charles a sea salute, which is the respect that a strong man should have. "There is no need to be polite. I am here today to discuss important matters with you."
Hearing that there was no need to be polite anymore, Charles seemed to let out a sigh of relief and spoke two points louder, "Princess, please speak!"
"Prince Charles should already know about the strange magic crystal, right?" Helena got to the point.
"That's right, the princess came here because of the strange magic crystal. How is the situation in Weihai Kingdom?" Charles asked.
"You are very well-informed." Helena looked at Charles with a playful look. "Weihai Kingdom is safe, and the wave of monsters has been suppressed. I heard that there are also abnormalities in many places in the empire?"
Charles twitched his eyes and said: "It seems that the princess is better informed than I am. There are indeed abnormalities in the empire, but compared to the wave of monsters in Weihai Kingdom, it is just a small incident."
Helena took out a letter and with a flick of her wrist, the letter flew towards Charles like a boomerang.
Charles stretched out two fingers and gently held the letter paper, dissipating the strength attached to the letter paper, "Princess, what is this?"
"This is all the information about the strange magic crystals and strange demons that Weihai Kingdom knows. Now we share it with the Nalan Empire to show our sincerity."
Charles did not expect that such an important letter would be delivered in such a unique delivery method. Fortunately, he was very skillful and did not shatter the letter paper.
"Thank you princess, what does the princess want?" Charles asked first, not in a hurry to read the letter.
There is no such thing as a free lunch, so what is the price for this important letter to the Empire?
"Weihai Country wants to deepen the connection between the two countries, strengthen trade exchanges, formally sign a non-aggression treaty, and form a military alliance against alien demons, with complete sharing of intelligence." Helena stated the purpose of this trip .
Charles was silent for a while and then said: "The Nalan Empire has always wanted to establish diplomatic relations with the Weihai Kingdom. What you proposed is exactly what the empire also wants. I'm afraid this can't be exchanged for your letter, right? What else? 1 And say it.”
Helena praised: "Emperor Charles is indeed a good emperor, much better than the nobles I saw when I came to the Nalan Empire. However, there are only so many treaties from my father. Since you agree, let's read the letter first. "
"Okay." Emperor Charles opened the letter without hesitation and read it word for word twice, digesting the information in it.
What Helena wrote in her letter was the same information she told Rogge and Filia, with Rogge's inferences and Ophina's guesses attached.
"Alien..." Charles muttered.
As the king of a country, he didn't know anything about strange demons, but his understanding was not as much as Helena's letter introduced.
"This information is very important to the Nalan Empire. Thank you princess for sharing it selflessly! However, our Nalan Empire does not have much information. Your speculation covers almost all of it, and is even more comprehensive and specific."
Helena smiled unconsciously and said, "This is not my speculation."
"Oh? Is it your father's?"
Helena's smile froze, then disappeared, and she said lightly: "No, he is a young man from your Nalan Empire."
"Uh, I'm sorry." Charles scratched his head, a little embarrassed, and then reacted, "A boy from the Nalan Empire? What's his name?"
"Roger."
"Rogge..." Charles had never heard of this name and planned to investigate it carefully. After all, the person who could make such a guess must be a top talent.
"I have taken note of it." Charles kept Rogge's name in mind, "Your Highness, the treaty you just mentioned will be of no harm to our Nalan Empire. I accept it all! This is the first treaty between the two countries. A transaction should be fair. Princess, you said this is the treaty listed by your father, so what else do you want?"
"I hope that after today, the civilians of the Sea Tribe will be able to enjoy sufficiently high rights and interests within the territory of the Nalan Empire, and the Nalan Empire is obliged to provide them with protection instead of taking them as slaves or playthings."
"Is this happening?"
"Emperor Charles, forgive me for saying too much. You are a very good emperor, but your control over the nobles seems to be lacking." Helena commented in front of Charles.
Helena's somewhat offensive words did not make Charles angry. Instead, he shook his head and said helplessly: "It made the princess laugh."
"The war between the Nalan Empire and the Orc Alliance continues. I focus more on the war. As for the nobles, as long as they can maintain the stability of the empire, I will let them go."
Helena said: "I can't say much about the political affairs of other countries. I can only suggest that you put things in order as soon as possible."
"Alas, I understand." Charles sighed, "I will issue several laws to protect the rights and interests of the Sea Tribe and meet your requirements."
"Thank you." Helena saluted gracefully again.
"Protecting the rights and interests of the Hai people is also what our country should do. Does the princess have any other requests?"
"I have a few friends who may be in some trouble. Please lend a helping hand when necessary."
"Oh? Are they?"
"You should know one of them, 'Empire Rising Star' Filia, her boyfriend Rogge, and the people in their team."
"This Rogge is..."
"That's right."
"Oh, I didn't expect this girl Filia to have such an excellent boyfriend. I also want my son to try it, but there is no chance now."
"Ahem." Helena coughed twice, interrupting Charles's shaking of his head and sighing, "You don't need to tell me about your family affairs, right?"
"Oh, I'm sorry. I will help them in due course, please don't worry."
"Thank you for your trouble."
Seeing that Helena had no other requests, Charles thought for a moment and said: "The transaction needs to be fair, so that it can last long. Our country is willing to establish long-term diplomatic relations with Weihai Country, so the princess's conditions are still a little short."
"In this way, I will order major seaports to build housing facilities suitable for the life of sea people in offshore areas, and at the same time, trade taxes between the two countries will be exempted for ten years to show sincerity."
"Emperor Charles is interested. Helena would like to thank you on behalf of Weihai Kingdom. The invasion of strange demons will come at some time, and I hope Emperor Charles will be prepared."
"Understood, the Nalan Empire will be the strongest ally of Weihai Kingdom."
At this point in the conversation, the goals of both parties have been achieved, and Helena was deeply impressed by Charles's attitude and sincerity.
Charles drew up the treaty, signed it by both parties, and stamped it with their national seals.
The trade treaty, non-aggression treaty, and military alliance against alien demons between the Nalan Empire and the Weihai Kingdom were officially concluded.
This is the first time that human beings and the Sea Clan have established diplomatic relations between nations. The Sea Clan has finally unveiled a corner of their mysterious veil to humans...
