145. Embassy

Epalenque, the embassy in the city center.

Fieldra Lemu visited Hetkra Bian, who was recovered from injury with gifts.

"How is life here?" Fieldra asked with kindness.

"How can I say it? It's a bit strange. I should say I'm not used to it." Hetkra replied, causing injuries to him when he answered, which made him cough.

"Have the injury been healed yet? I'll let the doctor wait, no, let the pastor show you." Fieldra's appearance was worried.

"It's almost done. My body is not suitable for the delicate way, just keep it like this." Hetkra declined.

Fieldra shook her head and went straight to the subject. He was busy and did not make unreasonable visits. This was a waste of time and a luxury, and his relationship with Hetkra was not close.

"I think you understand the reason for arranging you here."

The embassy hall is logically used to receive envoys sent by royal families or other countries.

But Fieldra arranged Hertkra Bian here, which was not a mistake, and it was even more impossible to have no spare empty house, but intentionally.

"Has the neighboring country made any moves?" Hetkra was not surprised.

"Isn't it a very normal thing?" Fieldra asked back, "This time, the Kingdom of Banna and the Yongsai Empire have successively sent envoys to visit."

"For what reason?"

"The birthday celebration of Grand Duke Tobias is coming soon, and their reason is naturally this, and there is no better reason than this." Fieldra laughed at one of them, "But no one knows that they wish that Grand Duke Tobias' birthday would become a death day, so that there would be no gatekeepers in front of them."

"You should keep your respect for Grand Duke Tobias." Hetkra reminded.

"Sorry, that's just a metaphor. I just want to tell the current situation more appropriately. The cake of Duke of Tobias Ridge is too big. It occupies nearly half of the mine resources in the Scarlet Kingdom, 30% of the grain farming area, and mines for collecting magic mines. Even if these rich resources are not considered, with the "Citizens Related to the Orc Trading" issued by my grandfather, the situation of the original unfavorable handover with orcs has changed. They have provided huge amounts of wealth invisibly."

The disappearing Raushka is a typical example of the "wealth" brought by orcs, and a city like this... There are more than ten Duke Ridge of Tobias. No one dares to ignore the amount of wealth brought by orcs. You only need to provide about "a portion of food" to get a job that an orc works hard. Even if the orc dies due to work, you don't have to compensate for the losses. Merchants and nobles just buy the "useless" things at hand and exchange them for relatively precious food.

"Your residence arrangements are also arranged by His Excellency the Duke." Fieldra continued.

Hetkra just remained silent for a moment before asking, "What do you want me to do?"

"I have temporarily recruited the army to deny that 'rumor'."

Hetkra frowned, obviously not very satisfied with the proposal.

"The army that makes both countries fear is not something that can be put together temporarily."

"But, such an army should not be annihilated by such an evil dragon...!"

Fieldra took out a piece of paper directly. The pattern on it was the image of the evil dragon drawn according to Hetkra's description. A cute evil dragon one meter high. The scales intersecting silver and black were no reason to annihilate the army.

"This is the fact, are you doubting the answer I said?"

Hetkra's tone was not good, and his words revealed the unhappiness of being questioned.

Fieldra shook her head.

"Not this, Lord Ranfrik has made a guarantee that the dragon is indeed this one." Fieldra stopped slightly, put down the picture that looked a little embarrassed and looked more like a pet than the dragon, and then continued: "Look, but when people from other countries saw this, I can believe that even if they did not have the intention to invade, they would have it."

"I don't need any attack on elite soldiers. I just need a group of people with good spirits to deal with it. I know that you were responsible for training in the army before, and this should not be difficult for you."

Hetkra was silent for a while and asked, "How much time do I have?"

“One week.”

"Too short!" Hertkra frowned.

"...this is what you need to worry about." Fieldra spread his hands, "so don't refuse my kindness and let the pastor treat you. I believe that it will be difficult for an injured person to obey."

As he was about to walk out of the room, Fieldra remembered something.

"Another congratulations, you inherited the position of Weaverley... although it was a short period of time."

After Fieldra left, the room fell silent.

After a while, the door was pushed open, and a sound came in at the same time.

"What an annoying guy. I hate his noisy sound. Why didn't he sacrifice his blood?"

"Don't do extra things." Hetkra warned in a low voice.

"Tsk tsk...humans are just trouble." Alfreud sat down casually.

Unlike the dark figure before, he had already changed into a human look at this moment, and his elegant figure was like an elegant noble young man.

"It's really uncomfortable, the dirty demon looks human."

Hetkra moved slightly and leaned further away, with disgust in his tone.

Yalfreid didn't mind at all. He said with a smile: "This is what I am like. Do you think it's very elegant? The higher the demon, the more similar the human beings are, maybe human beings were once part of the demon, what do you think?"

Hetkra did not answer his question, but instead made tea on his own. Although he wanted to drink more now, he did not choose it because of his physical injury.

Yalfreid smiled and shrugged, "It's so boring."

He stood up and walked out the door.

"Where are you going?"

"Enjoy, the geishas are good, the leaders here are amazing, and they are willing to let these beauties entertain foreign envoys." Yalfret replied naturally, "Sometimes, you should enjoy it, you are the most self-disciplined contractor I have ever met. You can obviously send me to destroy everything, but you have no such choice."

After saying that, Alfreud had to hold his hand towards the handle.

"Back." Hetkra said briefly.
