Seeing Hathaway put the telescope away again, Popper. Diroue retracted his gaze with some reluctance and said, "Lord Earl, do you want to get in touch with the Kingdom of Sri Lanka?" But it never seems to have opened a route to the Cordillera Plateau, and no one between you has ever dared to pass through that sea except for the quirky sea elves and pirates, how can you think of it? ”

He had obviously put a lot of effort into it, and he had a pretty detailed understanding of the location of the Cordillera Plateau.

"There is always a beginning to everything, those sea elves are just one of all the intelligent races, the sea is so vast, there is almost no conflict with them to open a route in that sea. Maybe it couldn't be done before, but I think maybe we'll have the opportunity to do it in the future, you know, it's really ridiculous to do nothing and guard such a large area of the ocean. Hathaway responded.

There's a reason why the Cordillera Plateau is so remote, further west are the complex Bianas Mountains, inhabited by many barbarian tribes, and to the north are vast expanses of primeval forest stretching to the sea, from where the Mandilero River enters the blue sea, and near the mouth of the sea there is a plain area, one of the main human settlements of the Cordillera Plateau. In the south is the province of Caself, in the north the wilderness area up to the seaside, where the human settlements are scattered and scattered, and the sea is infested with pirates, even if you sail inshore, you must always be careful, according to the above things, the Cordillera Plateau wants to make the economy developed, at least develop water transportation, otherwise there is something that cannot be transported.

Popper still has a lot of questions to ask. But on second thought, now is not the time for discussion, since Hathaway has made this decision, she must have her own considerations, and ...... The door suddenly became lively, and a group of people walked up, led by two young men and women, who were none other than His Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of the Kingdom of Sri Lanka, which had been spreading so much in the past two days.

Zuo An. Carlenon was in a bad mood.

This time he and his sister Marceau. Carlenon didn't come to the Ortiga Empire for a harvest festival, and neither he nor her sister had a good impression of those boring balls and drinking parties...... They have only one purpose. It was through this contact that he wanted to promote the marriage between the royal family of Carlenon and the royal family of Fervenel. But now it seems. The royal family of Fervin Lie was clearly inclined to marry into the Odin Empire.

While there are two possibilities for anything to succeed or fail, failure is an insult to the royal family, whether it is him or Marceau. Carlenon. are unbearable. So. He was in a very bad mood at this time. His face was stiff and rigid, and he didn't cope with the interest of others at all. Beside him, Marceau. Carlenon pursed her lips expressionlessly. I don't feel like I know the greetings from the side.

"Your Highness Zuo'an, Your Highness Marceau, it's a pleasure to see you."

Hathaway came to them in a few arrows, and quietly squeezed a few guys in the way aside: "I'm Hathaway, Count of Cordillera. Bel. ”

"Count Cordillera? Isn't it the impoverished Cordillera Plateau? "Zuo An. Karlenon raised his eyebrows and asked a little rudely. A little count, and from her surname, he found nothing special.

"It seems that His Highness has misunderstood the Cordillera Plateau, which is by no means destitute, on the contrary, it is one of the richest lands in the Otiga Empire, like a treasure trove of bounty, which lacks only a treasure key. However, this is not the point, I have heard by chance that the two Highnesses have visited Heidelberg, but I have not yet had the opportunity to pay an official visit. I heard that His Highness will leave for China tomorrow, and I want to give him a small gift, maybe we will have a chance to see him again. ”

Hathaway could feel the disdain in the other party's attitude, but she didn't care, this kind of prince and princess seemed to be modest on the surface, but the aristocratic disease in his bones was more serious than anyone else. However, she also noticed that Her Royal Highness the princess, who had been expressionless all the time, was looking at her curiously, as if she was speculating about her intentions.

"Gifts?"

Zuo An. Callenon looked at Hathaway with some confusion: "Are you sure you want to give it to me?" ”

"Of course, Your Highness, could I be mistaken even about the person to whom I am giving gifts?"

Hathaway smiled heartily, took out the box containing the telescope from the space ring, and handed it to Zuo An, who was still skeptical. Carlenon.

As a foreigner, Zuo An. Carlenon really didn't expect much from an earl of the Odiga Empire, even if it was only slightly strange to learn that Hathaway was the lord of the somewhat notorious Cordillera Plateau. But the other party insisted on giving him a gift, which made him very curious.

Open the box that is not very delicate, Zuo An. Carlenon was immediately attracted by the delicate telescope. Although he was not a magician, he had a good knowledge of the materials that made up the telescope. Although he didn't understand the purpose of the object, he could feel how precious it was.

In fact, Hathaway was made with care, there are only two of them, because the material is so precious, and the lenses are not only machined, but also inscribed with magic patterns, which not only make them farther away, but also have a detection effect...... Ordinary night, mist, and even ordinary concealment spells will be hidden in front of it, and even the Lord of Shadows will have a deep headache when encountering such a telescope. If it is on the market, it is definitely not easy.

At the moment of seeing it, Zuo An. Carlenon's mind was completely captivated...... Under the guidance of the veteran, Hathaway's works inevitably have the style of the elves, and the beauty is no less than that of the elves, so she did not say who the author of this work is. Carlenon subconsciously thought of it as the work of an elf...... Or rather, it's a work of art.

Seeing the glowing eyes of His Royal Highness the Prince, Hathaway smiled faintly and whispered about the effects of the telescope.

"What? Count Bell, what you say is true? "Zuo An. Carlenon asked incredulously.

As a prince of a maritime nation, he certainly knew the role of telescopes at sea...... Generally speaking, this is the preserve of magicians, but no magician will cast magic all the time on the voyage, and not every ship will have a magician. Although he didn't think the magic artifact would be universal, he understood its effects.

Zuo An. Carlenon picked up the binoculars, got close to them, turned to look out the door...... "Unbelievable!" He muttered.

"Zuo'an, have you seen the undead?" Next to Marceau. Karlenon frowned slightly, feeling that his performance at this time seemed to be out of royal demeanor.

"In fact, you'll be more shocked than seeing the undead." Zuo An. Carlenon muttered and handed the binoculars to her sister.

And Marceau. When Carlenon followed his example and placed the telescope in front of him, a pair of beautiful eyes also glared at him, and he looked shocked.

"Count Bell, we all know the value of this item. Even for me, it's too expensive. So, I can't accept it. ”

Sure enough, he is worthy of a prince, Zuo An. Carlenon quickly came to her senses and took the binoculars from her sister and handed them back to Hathaway.

"Huh."

Hathaway smiled softly, and did not answer the telescope, she could see the reluctance in the eyes of these two people: "Your Highness Zuo'an, you are a little too sensitive. Truth be told, you can't help me at this stage, this telescope is just the beginning of our good friendship. ”

"Start?" Zuo An. Karlenon was puzzled.

"Of course."

Hathaway nodded affirmatively: "The unique geographical location of the Kingdom of Sri Lanka, although it has unique shipping convenience, but it lacks various resources. And the Cordillera Plateau is definitely not short of any resources...... It's a bit of an overkill to say 'any', but in fact, it's abundantly resourced. ”

Zuo An. Karlenon shook his head: "But ......"

"I know what His Highness is thinking."

Hathaway stole the topic with some rudeness, but her face was still full of smiles: "The Cordillera Plateau will be stable, and the Sea Elves' problem will be resolved, but it will take a while." So, I say this is the beginning of a good friendship. When I reappear in front of His Highness one day, I hope to be able to really discuss the possibility of this topic becoming a reality. ”

She knew that the identity of the other party determined that they could not make any promises now, and she did not think that the other party would give any promises at this stage...... If that's the case, she'll think they're calculating.

"Count Bell, you seem to be overly optimistic."

Marceau. Callenon looked at Hathaway suspiciously: "The sea elves are one of the most difficult races to deal with among the sea tribes, I believe in your ability to govern the territory, but many people have tried to communicate with the sea elves, but none of them have succeeded, I believe you know this matter very well." ”

"Of course, Your Highness, I know it, but I don't think it's an insurmountable obstacle. All problems are solved, and all we need is a suitable solution. ”

Zuo An. Carlenon exchanged glances with her sister in some surprise, wondering where Hathaway's confidence came from. However, as far as they knew, there was no precedent for sea elves to cooperate with humans, and they usually only traded with the sea tribes, and even if they needed materials on land, they did so through the sea tribe's middlemen. If Hathaway can really negotiate this issue, it will also be great news for the Kingdom of Sri Lanka.

"Count Bell, it is a pleasure to receive your gift, which I will cherish as much as our friendship. I hope to have time to receive you in my country! "Zuo An. Carlenon said seriously. (To be continued......)
