Chapter 586: Talking on the Road
"They are proud of this, they will be part of the Baltic Empire, they will participate in the process of making history with a small force, and their deeds will be recorded in the books of posterity, and they will be immortalized with the Baltic Empire. ”
Qi Lier straightened her chest and said proudly.
……
……
There's nothing to be proud of, and it's not something to be proud of, and as soon as it sounds, you know that it could never be said by a silly girl like you.
It must have been heard from someone else's mouth, and that other person's guess with Sigourney was probably Alice's guy, and in her impression this guy was the only one who would talk such serious nonsense.
Sigourney tugged at the corners of her mouth in embarrassment, and she continued to walk forward, Ziryl's words making her not know how to continue the conversation.
"Look over here, Queen Sigourn, this is my destination, built by Her Royal Highness Alice herself as the center of Jutland. ”
Ziliel pointed to the building on the right, which was the most central and conspicuous building in the whole city, and said loudly.
Sigourney turned her head to see the buildings glowing in the sunlight, the two towering towers of magic, and the castle that dominated the hill with the tower in the center.
It wasn't an occupation, but the entire hill had been magically transformed into a towering castle with a dense array of intricate magical patterns and made of obsidian, which was strong and resistant to magic. Between the masonry and masonry, molten iron was poured to remove all possible cracks and turn the whole castle into a single unit.
"How does it compare to your Gothic City. ”
I don't know whether it was intentional or not, Ziriel brought up the topic at this time, anyone who knew Sigourney well knew that she had a deep grudge against the city where her father and brother died, and that city still carried memories of her most humiliating time.
Sigourney's eyes unsurprisingly flashed with a hint of gloom, and she was silent for a few seconds before she spoke in an unheaving voice.
"Let's go. ”
Then, picking up his pace and heading towards where the castle was, ignoring the still screaming as if she had countless questions to ask, Sigourney admitted that it was a complete irrational trick for the Baltic Empire to send such a strange fellow.
After about thirty minutes, a huge procession came to the castle, and in this short time there was nothing unexpected and could not have happened.
The Northland Bloc has bowed its head and surrendered, the Attila Empire is not uncommon for such intrigues, the other two empires are impossible, and the other forces do not have much power in the Northland, they have not been able to launch a force against the envoys of the Scandinavian Empire in Jutland, the first city established by the Baltic Empire.
The carpet of flowers, the air filled with rich fragrance, and the cold and warm environment were insulated, and walking on the road in front of the castle, Sigourney seemed to have stepped into another world, a world of spring light.
"I have a heart. ”
Sigourne smiled slightly, revealing a touching smile, she had been in the Gothic palace for a long time, like a canary imprisoned in a birdcage, she had not seen such a beautiful view for a long time, such a view similar to that of her hometown of Barusenge.
Entering the castle, the corridors are illuminated by magic lamps as if it were daylight, and the corridors that can be passed by three carriages have a delicate armor every few meters.
Sigoarney's wealth of magical knowledge allowed Sigourney to recognize the armor, which was definitely not the kind of ordinary nobles, and the ornaments made to show off their collections, these armors were magically processed, and they could no longer be called dead things.
They are high-level constructs, with a certain amount of intelligence, much more advanced than what Qi'er had seen in the goblin merchant ships before, and when it comes to real combat, in such a small place, it is even more difficult than a real battle-hardened warrior.
……
After entering the castle, the smile on Sigoney's face was put away, she knew that everything in front of her was deliberately displayed by the Baltic Empire, ostensibly to welcome her friend, the queen of the Scandinavian Empire, with the most solemn ceremony, but in essence it was a warning, a kind of show-off, and the warriors outside and the equipment on their bodies were a show of force and technology.
It seems to be a very pompous and unnecessary thing, time-consuming and laborious just to pretend to be X, but such a seemingly inconsequential thing can fight for more benefits for the empire in the next negotiations, and intimidate those who are greedy and make them dare not act rashly.
Thirty minutes later, Sigourney felt a little impatient in her heart, for she had been looking at the same view for thirty minutes, and the same armor had been encountered more than once, and she knew that the other party had done it on purpose, in order to prevent the map of the castle from being written down.
"Here we are, Sigournie. ”
Qi Lier, who was leading the way in front, suddenly stopped and said.
Opening the door, the sight in front of her made Sigourney, the princess of Barusenga, and now the mistress of the Scandinavian Empire, couldn't help but open her mouth slightly, a look of surprise.
This is a huge room, the transparent sky, countless stars twinkling in it, bright flowers of various colors dotted on the wall, exuding a strange fragrance of flowers, making people feel refreshed, a beautiful, beautiful, gorgeous, The charming girl, dressed in a black and white maid outfit, stood in two neat rows, with her head bowed, her hands on her waist, motionless, her movements were standardized, and she had a serious but intimate temperament, it could be seen that these maids were well educated, and judging from their slender but muscular bodies, their combat effectiveness was not necessarily inferior to those guards before them.
In the middle of the room, there was a small table that could only seat five people for a tea party, on which were placed two cutlery, and next to the table, a young girl dressed in black was putting down the teacup in her hand, and the teacup and the table collided with a crisp sound, echoing in the empty hall.
The girl stood up, gently pulled the chair next to her, and made a gesture of love, her movements were very elegant, just looking at it reminded people of a noble girl who had undergone years of rigorous training.
"Sigourney, my dear friend, long time no see. ”
"Alice, long time no see, my friend. ”
Sigourney took three steps and two steps, with a sincere smile on her face, came to Alice's side, hugged each other, and sat down, and Ziliel, who had been leading the way before, came behind Alice, with her hands behind her back, with a serious and cold expression on her face, with the liveliness and pride just now.
Sigourney sat down, the chair made of wood under her had a strange and comfortable touch, she picked up the empty teacup in front of her, and the moment she touched the teacup, a brownish-red liquid slowly appeared in the teacup, exuding a rich tea fragrance.
"I still like black tea, Alice. ”
"You still don't like tea, Sigourney. ”
Seeing Sigoney's inadvertent frown, Alice's face showed a smile, she still missed the previous intervals on the battlefield, the days when the two communicated, although that kind of communication was also indispensable to various temptations.
"I prefer Scandinavian spirits to things like black tea, which are the drinks that only true warriors love. ”
Sigoaney's subtext can be understood as Alice, who likes to drink black tea, does not look like a warrior at all, but more like those nobles who are addicted to enjoyment, this difference existed a long time ago, although Sigourney is a woman, but she is a typical
"Money is such a thing, earned is used for enjoyment, and money that is not spent is put in the warehouse, which is useless scrap metal. ”
In the verbal confrontation, Alice never felt that she would lose to anyone, even the friend in front of her, Sigoney, who was one of the few in the Northland that she needed to deal with seriously.
In those young years, during the rest of the war, they often used verbal exchanges to pass the time, and now there was such a conversation again, whether it was Sigoanne or
"Well, let's not talk about these things, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and we can't talk about things that are bad for the scenery. ”
Alice clapped her hands gently, and then a table full of delicacies appeared on the empty table, roast lamb chops, beef stew, mashed potatoes, seafood soup, all kinds of delicacies filled the small table, because of the placement, but it gave people a sense of order, allowing Sigourney to take all the food from the position.
"Taste the difference between human cooking and halflings, and I think the taste will definitely satisfy you. ”
As she spoke, Alice picked up a lamb chop with a fork and put it into Sigoaney's bowl, she sat back in her seat, with an expectant smile on her face, after tasting the special delicacies of various places in the Northland, Alice was bored and sorted out a recipe, let her chefs learn, practice, and enjoy life, about the question of eating, but it was placed in the first few.
"Hey"
Sigourney sighed helplessly, Alice showed an attitude like two close friends, not the leaders and rulers of the two empires that needed to negotiate, but this time she came here, and it can be said that she had a request for help from others, so she still acted according to the rhythm of the other party, and she also knew that she was in front of Alice, and she could not grasp the initiative of the truth.
Seeing Sigoness eating delicious food helplessly, and a smile of enjoyment on her face, the smile on the corner of Alice's mouth remained unchanged, but the content of what she said was beyond Sigoaney's imagination, she didn't expect that Alice, who had been avoiding talking about it, would take the initiative to bring up this topic.
"I know what happened to you, that's why I rushed here from Rice City, after all, every minute is a very critical time for your Scandinavian Empire. ”
It is precisely because it is a critical time that the Scandinavian Empire is forced to the point of life and death, and the Baltic Empire can continue to gnaw flesh and blood from its body with a lion open its mouth and strengthen itself.
"But this topic, let's talk about it after eating, the food is current, and the food is wasted, but it will be disgusted by the god of harvest. ”
The current god of harvest of the Aesir gods is Frey from Warnaheim, who was sent to Asgard as a hostage, but he won the favor of almost all the Aesir gods, and let him live in the beautiful Alfheim, where countless beautiful and handsome elves live, and it is a beautiful country where the gods will look around.
Alice said all this, and Sigourney couldn't say anything more, and it took her ten minutes to satisfy her appetite with the food on the table, and finally ended the dinner with a cup of yogurt.
I have to say that the food prepared by the Baltic Empire is very much to her liking, whether it is in Barusenge or Scandinavia, she has never tasted such delicious food, if it is not for the important things that need to be solved as soon as possible, then this dinner can indeed be called very perfect.
Alice clapped her hands lightly again, and the scraps and smudges on the table disappeared instantly, she took the towel handed by Ziliel behind her, wiped her hands, and then looked at Sigourne.
"What you want, needless to say, it's a waste of time, I can probably guess that the left and right are just supplies and need our Baltic Empire to help, and in other aspects, it will involve the power of the Attila Empire, so that you can make it easier. ”
Alice said, she blocked what Sigourney wanted to say at the beginning, so that she didn't have a chance to speak, even if she was asked for the party, in the initiative, it was completely the former Sigourney nose was advancing.
"If the Atila Empire can be defeated, the Scandinavian Empire is willing to occupy the land of the current Atila Empire together with the Baltic Empire, including the population and various resources above. ”
Sigourney got straight to the point, shaking out the bottom line of the Scandinavian Empire that Siegel had given, which is a taboo in normal negotiations, and will push the situation to the precipice from the beginning.
It's like a fish that has already been caught, jumping out of the basin and onto the cutting board, waiting for the chef's next move, starting from the fish's position to cook a satisfying and delicious meal.
“…… Do you think I will agree to such conditions, Siegel is treating us as fools, a white slip that I don't know if it will be honored in the future, whether it can be honored, and wants to get our help?"
