Sending away Sariel Byrne, who was so angry that he didn't say a word, Luo Zhengdao's face gradually turned cold with a smile on his face. Liren or puppet, this bowl of rice is not so easy to swallow.

Although Luo Zhengdao's attitude is extremely tough, he shows his coping methods, proving that he is not incompetent, and he has the capital to turn his face and scatter at any time. However, the Wick Reef in the Land of Projectiles and the newly acquired Chuanshan Islands are not worth a small amount of money in the eyes of the Yaling Empire, which is at the level of a New World power!

Roughly speaking, it is equivalent to the existence of the five hooligans of the old world, and if you look at micro-countries such as Nauru, Fiji, Burkina Faso, and Maldives from a similar overlook, people are willing to call you an equal partner, which is deliberately exalting you! What a save! For the same reason, if it weren't for Luo Zhengdao's practice to prove that he was really very capable of fighting, he almost beat the goblin navy with a huge advantage to the point that he completely lost his temper, and then he recruited a group of hardcore descendants to help support the scene, and replaced it with someone else to sit in Luo Zhengdao's position, the Yaling Empire casually used some small means of weaning, I am afraid that I would have to kneel on the spot.

Having said that, even if Luo Zhengdao is strong enough and his skills are tough, the cooperative relationship between the two sides cannot be completely equal. In other words, the Yaling Empire could abandon his generation at any time. Rational people, Luo Zhengdao can't get rid of Yaling lightly. Even though he had a strong belief in acting independently, and had been preparing for it, the loss caused to Luo Zhengdao by ending this partnership was far greater than that of the Yaling Empire.

When he thought of this, Luo Zhengdao, who was already smiling, looked even more ugly, and he said to himself:

"Hehe, let's see!"

For example, in the old world, the famous screen strong man Arnold was old, and he gradually struggled on the Hollywood set and had to consider changing careers, jumping from an action actor to a governor, which has nothing to do with his wife's surname Kennedy.

Although during this period, Arnold, who was overly distracted and a little hungry, caused N many sex scandals, and even had an illegitimate child with the respectful housekeeper at home, but it was not until it was determined that the future of his government was worrying due to his poor performance in power, and the governor's wife, who had always tried her best to endure her anger, decided to break up with her husband. Before that, it is estimated that she had a heart that endured humiliation like Hillary's former Secretary of State, and the fundamental reason was none other than her own political future.

In a typical marriage policy, personal feelings are the ingredients in instant noodles, and under the premise that you will starve to death if you don't eat it, it can be said that there is not much of it, and there is no lot of it, and the key point is whether the parties to the marriage can grab enough political benefits from it.

By the way, it reminds people of the famous zipper door, in which the three protagonists are another model, Hillary, who is not divorced, if you want to say that she is not running for president in the future, why bear it so much? Needless to say, the private lives and marriages of political figures are also a necessary part of the career, and every one must serve the core interests.

During his studies in school, he saw a lot of all kinds of black materials and the dark side of big shots, and naturally he could understand the unspoken rules of political operation, Luo Zhengdao would not rashly turn his face with the wealthy Yaling Empire for the sake of the moral cleanliness in his heart, even if the two sides wanted to turn their faces, it must be to seek greater practical benefits. When it comes to whether the mood is painful or not, no matter how important this matter is, can it be eaten as food? Sometimes even the gods have to choose to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and tolerate things that they are not used to, let alone a mortal.

Troubles are always piled up to visit, and as the old saying goes, blessings and disasters do not go alone, and the truth is just like that. Luo Zhengdao soon found that he had become a hot sweetie, this discovery made him cry and laugh somewhat, and he felt that he was a humanoid prop for a great power to compete for hegemony!

"Hmph, as soon as the Yaling Empire said that it was going to come on a blind date, the elves followed to join in the fun, is it not satisfied with Gao De supporting them at the front desk, is this the feeling of having to bet a few more? It is worthy of a litter of big dogs, and it is clear that he can't see what the shape is, and he actually dares to throw money into it. ”

complained about the bad deeds of the great powers, Luo Zhengdao still had to face the reality in the end, he had no intention of stepping on two boats to play a seesaw trick between the two big countries, this kind of difficult juggling was the easiest to get rid of.

Although Luo Zhengdao undoubtedly hooked up with three and four, he couldn't stand the fierce girl who was afraid of pestering him, and the Elf Federation cried and shouted that he wanted to stick it upside down, if Luo Zhengdao refused, such a blunt approach seemed to be a bit hypocritical, no way, it could only be a soldier to block the water and cover it.

The newly occupied Chuanshan Islands are obviously much better than the Wake Reef in all respects, not to mention that the land area of these islands is 100 times larger than that of Wake Reef, the climate of the Chuanshan Islands is humid all year round, the vegetation is abundant under the nourishment of abundant precipitation, and the surrounding waters are also first-class excellent fishing grounds, and the average annual catch alone is not a problem to feed hundreds of thousands of people. However, holding on to this land is different from the fact that Wake Reef can be defenced, and it is necessary to use a strong navy to stop the threat of the goblin fleet, and from a material point of view, it is necessary to purchase arms in large quantities, especially to increase the import of strategic materials such as stone pine powder and metal ingots.

Considering the current situation of the new world, if you want to maintain a stable purchase channel, without the support of collaborators at the level of the great powers, the subsequent development of the Funayama Islands will be very difficult.

A medium-sized regional power of the same level as the Kingdom of Yogyakarta will never dare to choose a side in the battle for hegemony among the great powers, anyway, as a first-class giant, he is not actually in charge of things, and the cyclops simply have no position at all, whoever is willing to give money will do business with whomever he wants, and he will dare to sell anything, but if the Kingdom of Yogyakarta is mixed with the Second Goblin Empire, they will never admit it

The Yaling Empire gave Luo Zhengdao face, and Her Majesty the Queen sent a noble cabinet member to lead the team, and the Yaling diplomatic mission, with a total of more than forty members, took a second-class battleship under the strong escort of the Yaling Royal Navy fleet, Shi Shiran sailed into Haining, the largest port of the Chuanshan Islands.

Marriage is marriage, the shelf of the great powers-level powers will not be put down, Luo Zhengdao proved that he is not a fleeting brilliant meteor, and the Yaling Empire is also willing to increase the amount of investment in him.

In order to ensure that there are no extreme situations such as crossing rivers and demolishing bridges, marriage is a relatively mild means of restraint, which does not make people feel unduly humiliated and thus undermine the good relationship between the two parties, and can achieve the purpose of controlling the risk. According to the marriage customs of the New World, the Yaling celebrity who married Luo Zhengdao, the regent, would not come to a foreign country alone, which is too shabby, unless it is a broken house to marry a daughter, it is impossible for the New World to have such a wolf bride.

Needless to say, the maids and officials who accompanied the wife in marriage were not lacking, and the remaining attendants, such as guards, advisers, secretaries, housekeepers and governesses, doctors, cooks, and gardeners, were enough to help the bride form a force in the new family. Whether this is a help or an annoying constraint depends on whether the relationship between the two parties is harmonious or not.

Luo Zhengdao, who was waiting for the Yaling Mission at the dock, was dressed like a male peacock in estrus, and the coat and blouse with gold thread embroidery gaps on his body could directly see the layers of clothes inside, up to the innermost layer of white silk underwear. This kind of flashy and cumbersome costume, except for the great nobles who eat all day long, can no one else will appreciate it. Although he said from his heart that he looked down on this kind of decadent aristocratic fan, in order to show his respect, Luo Zhengdao could only dress like this and come out to meet people.

"Welcome to His Excellency the Marquis."

"It is a great honour to meet Her Royal Highness the Regent, and I would like to convey to you my sincere greetings and best wishes from Her Majesty the Queen."

In the makeshift awning near the wharf, the two sides began to meet, first saying a lot of diplomatic clichés that were not very nutritious, Luo Zhengdao directly cut to the point, introduced the subordinates who came to greet him with the mission, and said:

"Your Excellency, Marquis, allow me to introduce you to these two of my most faithful retainers, Faure Chopin and Drake King. They were commissioned by my father, His Excellency the Earl of Old Fowl, to help me escape from the goblins' butcher's knives, and were the most faithful and reliable retainers of the family. ”

As a mesozoic species of the new world standard, Yaling's physical aging rate is much slower than that of short-lived humans, except that their faces will appear more immature before they reach adulthood, and then Yaling will maintain the physical appearance of their young adults for most of their lives, and they will not age rapidly until they are close to death, so judging the age of elves and Yaling from their appearance alone is actually quite unreliable. Similar to Luo Zhengdao, the so-called never any secret can be kept forever, and he gradually revealed some peculiarities that are different from ordinary people.

Since completing the inauguration ceremony of the Demon Card Master, Luo Zhengdao's body has been subtly affected by the second stage of legalization, and one of the most intuitive changes is that the aging rate of his physical body has decreased to the point that it is impossible to discern traces with the naked eye.

The so-called darkness under the lamp is a truth, and his subordinates stay with Luo Zhengdao all day long, and it is not easy to notice this extremely subtle change.

The envoys sent by the Yaling Empire, they leave after each visit, and they have to take with them the photo crystal that records the whole process of the negotiation to report the situation to the Yaling Queen.

Combined with the previous news that Ban En was angry and announced that someone was a heretic, the mystery of Luo Zhengdao's identity as a magic card master had long been guessed by the Yaling Empire.

Of course, given the sensitivity of putting this question on the table, Yaling would never ask rashly, it would force the two sides into a duel with no way out, whether he is a legendary card master or not, but many things only need to be boldly assumed, and the answer can be determined without careful verification. Otherwise, the Yaling Empire would not have sent a special envoy to give away a "Book of Collecting Cards" and a lot of magic cards, although these rare relics of ancient super magic civilization are basically not used in ordinary times, they are still quite face-saving to put in their own treasure troves as decorations, not to mention that this kind of thing is not common as a gift.

"Your Highness, this is Miss Stina's information and photo crystal, if you have no objections, we will announce the official engagement between you and Miss Stina. Considering the tense situation faced by Her Royal Highness, who was unable to leave the realm in the near future, Her Majesty the Queen simplified the ceremonial procedures and did not hold engagement ceremonies. ”

At this time, Luo Zhengdao maintained a calm posture, patiently listened to the other party's statement of the future marriage arrangements one by one, and nodded slightly from time to time to express his approval or knowledge.

There is no doubt that this marriage is a foregone conclusion without too much thought, everyone just takes what they need, Luo Zhengdao only hopes that Miss Styna can have enough consciousness and wisdom, and not make things embarrassing to everyone, then it couldn't be better.
