Chapter Ninety-Five: Prophecy
In this way, King Gravel agreed that Crotia should now perform divination. He wrote down his plans for the future on parchment in Norse, and when everything was ready, he lit the parchment in front of Crotia.
Soon, the parchment turned into a wisp of green smoke, and Crotia took a deep breath and inhaled the smoke into her lungs through the golden mask.
Crotia didn't cough, and if someone else had smoked so much, I'm afraid they would have coughed a long time ago.
Soon, Crotia lay down in King Gravel's bed, and fell asleep in less than a moment.
Nisera, Serena, and Sevia were at Crotia's bedside, and it was not the first time they had seen Crotia use her dream divination powers.
As the dream progressed, she saw Clotia tossing and turning on the bed, looking very painful, and King Gravel looked at her from the sidelines, and felt a little worried.
Finally, half an afternoon later, Crotia opened her eyes.
King Gravel immediately went to meet him and asked how it was, and the other three witches looked at Crotia with concern.
"I saw a lot of mercenaries, I saw a lot of steppe cavalry, and I saw the knights of the Order. I saw His Majesty lead the defeated soldiers to be chased by the Imperial pursuers and almost lose their lives. I also saw a map, and then there was the raging fire of Blackstone Castle, and the raging fire was going to consume everything, and it was all just a game of death, and no one could escape. Crotia finished speaking in one breath, the scene she encountered in her dream
When King Gravel heard this, he was speechless for a long time, and he knew that everything he wanted to know had been answered, but the last few words were too ambiguous, and he heard what seemed to be a bad sign, but after thinking about it, maybe everything was already predestined, and he just had to be himself.
In this way, King Gravel also knew what was going to happen next, and it was similar to what he expected, so he had to give it his all regardless of the outcome.
Originally, King Gravel had planned to keep the four witches here for dinner, but Crotia insisted on going back, and King Gravel did not force him to stay.
The next day, according to the plan, King Gravel summoned Hybur, who had been his steward until then and one of his most trusted people, and he remembered Tony, but unfortunately he had returned to the arms of God.
Gravel summoned Hybur, and Hybre knew there must be something important.
Sure enough, Gravel told Haybur about the fact that he was going to send an envoy to the steppe kingdom to the west, the kingdom of Kurut, and also told Hybre that the candidate for the foreign minister was Hybur.
Haybur was taken aback, he didn't expect that Gravel would give him such an important task to complete, which was enough to show Gravel's trust and importance to him.
Hybble was very happy, he did not expect that he would be able to contribute to this newly independent country at such an age, and at the same time, he was a little worried that he would not be able to handle such an important task.
But Gravel believed in Thibur very much, and said that he had arranged for his men to leave tomorrow, and that he had prepared a very meaningful gift for the khan of Nakurut, and that he had sent it to the khan of Nakurut himself.
Gravell said that Haybur would represent the Kingdom of Norsland with full powers, and on his behalf as King Gravell, he would ally with the Steppe Kingdom.
As a newly rising country, the Kingdom of Norsland naturally has many diplomatic chores to deal with.
Haibble, who became the foreign minister of the Kingdom of Norsland, has now fully entered his role. He took the goods all the way to the west, and after many hardships and dangers, he crossed the towering mountains and entered the kingdom of the steppe, the kingdom of Kurut.
Now, he has come to the city of Larma in the kingdom of Kurut, and in the midst of a group of warriors as strong as calves, he slowly walked into the hall of the Khan of the kingdom of Kurut.
The capital of the Kurut Kingdom is called Larma City, which is inhabited by the strongest warriors of the steppe, and the fattest cattle and sheep in the steppe are raised.
In fact, it has not been a long time since an envoy from the south has come to the city of Larma in the Kingdom of Kurut to negotiate. After the Kurut Kingdom fell into a civil war, the Kurut Kingdom no longer had the ability to harass the Delman Empire in the south.
They can only loot a few things in the desert and then return to their own grasslands - the barren grasslands have no ore or resources, so they can only live in the north.
The reason why the Delman Empire did not go north to destroy the Kurut Kingdom was because it was too poor to look down on that barren land, and the other factor was that the empire was now surging in the dark tide and it was difficult to support the Northern Expedition.
However, King Gravel did not feel that the Kingdom of Kurut was useless, he felt that at least it could provide him with animal power, as well as raw materials such as cotton, and was a good natural ally to form an alliance!
So he sent Hybur, a veteran who has been with him to this day, in the hope that he can fulfill the covenant between the Kingdom of Norsland and the Kingdom of Kurut and form a strategic partnership between the two countries - the Kingdom of Norsland can use the Kingdom of Kurut as a dumping ground for goods, and the Kingdom of Kurut can export raw materials to the Kingdom of Norsland in exchange for more living materials.
It's definitely a win-win business, so King Gravel doesn't think the other side will refuse such an alliance at all. Because the Kingdom of Norsland really holds too many necessities of life in the Kingdom of Kurut, and not only that, they all have a common enemy, the Delman Empire.
Not to mention, in just these two months, the salt exported by the Kingdom of Norsland to the Kingdom of Kurut has made the Kingdom of Kurut extremely dependent. Counting iron tools and other things, the Kingdom of Norsland has invaded and controlled the economy of the Kingdom of Kurut more than at any time in history.
Seru Khan leaned back in his chair and looked down at Hybor as he walked in front of him, as if he didn't have any intention of speaking.
Beside him, a minister in a robe looked at Hybur, and asked in a long voice pretending to be majestic, "You, the envoy from the east, what are you here for?"
"I'm here to make an alliance with the kingdom of Kurut. Haybur opened his mouth to introduce himself: "On behalf of the Kingdom of Norsland, to convey the will of eternal peace." ”。
"We have always been at peace. On the other side, a military general with a saber at his waist teased in a very offensive opening.
The generals of the surrounding Kurut Kingdom all laughed loudly, they had to move west several times a year, and the main target of attack was the Haruz Kingdom in the desert area.
