"How can it be!"

The Eagle King did not wait for the knight to finish reading the letter before he interrupted rudely, because the letter was simple. It was Liszt who sent a ransom negotiation letter through the official channels of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire, asking the Eagle King to turn over to the Grey Iron family and send someone to negotiate the ransom.

Because there was no diplomatic channel between the Grand Duchy of Sapphire and the Duchy of Grey Iron, and the remoteness of the Duchy of Grey Iron, it was impossible to send a negotiation letter directly.

So Liszt opened his mind and asked the Eagle King to pass it on his behalf.

It was also a small humiliation.

Dare to launch a dragon slaying battle, this hatred Liszt will not let go easily, first disgust the Eagle King, and when the development order is launched, it is not too late to cut the flesh.

"Your Majesty, this letter ......," a noble minister reminded.

The Eagle King glared, gritted his teeth fiercely, and finally said indifferently: "Seal the official letter and send it to the Gray Iron Duchy immediately...... Ladies and gentlemen, you are the ministers of the kingdom, how can the Gray Iron Principality lose the Gray Iron Dragon due to the dragon slaying war launched by the kingdom?"

After a moment, a minister replied: "Your Majesty, the loss of the Gray Iron Dragon is a great loss to the Gray Iron Principality, but the Duke of Piero cannot afford not to redeem it, and the Kingdom should come forward to preside over this ransom transaction, and even vigorously make up for the loss of the Gray Iron Family." ”

Listen to what he means is that the ransom should be paid by the Eagle Kingdom.

However, the minister changed his words: "The kingdom should help the Gray Iron Family to ask for the Gray Iron Dragon, but Duke Piero was ambushed after the end of the Dragon Slaying War, and the ransom must be raised by the Gray Iron Family themselves." ”

"Duke Piero is captured, and the ransom must be paid, but have you ever thought about how the Gray Iron Family will deal with itself without a dragon to rely on?" another minister shook his head, "I think the Gray Iron Family may take an extreme attitude. ”

"What extreme attitude?" asked the Eagle King, as if knowingly.

"As far as I know, the son of the Duke of Piero is thirty years old, in the prime of life, and is fit to inherit the inheritance of the Gray Iron family, and perhaps he is not willing to redeem his father...... Even if he wanted to, the Greyiron family would not be able to afford a duke's huge ransom. ”

Usually the Viscount is captured, one elf, the Earl is captured, two or three elves, the Marquis is captured, the elves are needed, and the Duke is captured, three or five elves are indispensable.

But Piero Grey Iron Duke is different, he is the duke of the dragon breeding family, and he is also the Grey Iron Dragon who breeds iron ore from metal dragons. The wealth of the family is much higher than that of the duke who has not been feuded, and the status is equal to that of the grand duke, and at least the dragon elf must be paid as a ransom.

Liszt also hinted in his letter that the dragon elves had to be used as the tone of the negotiations - he believed that the Duchy of Grey Iron was richer than the Grand Duchy of Sapphire, and that there would never be only one or two dragon elves. If you take one out as a ransom, it will not hurt your muscles and bones, but on the contrary, it will "reduce the burden" for the family.

If the family has no dragons, they should no longer occupy so many resources, otherwise sooner or later there will be trouble.

"Are you saying that it is possible that the Grayiron family will not pay the ransom and instead push the ransom of Duke Piero to the kingdom?" said the Eagle King with a frown.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Duke Piero is not a dragon knight, and now that the Gray Iron Dragon has been lost, the Gray Iron Family will also hold Duke Piero accountable for the loss of the dragon, which is an irreparable mistake. The minister replied - the aristocracy is not profitable, and the little family affection is nothing compared to the interests.

Moreover, if Duke Piero loses the dragon, he also loses the future of the family.

His son was afraid that he would hope that the Duke of Piero would die soon.

Another minister spoke up: "Your Majesty, if the Gray Iron family is unwilling to pay the ransom, will the Duke of Piero just give up?"

"No, your majesty, I think that Duke Piero must be redeemed anyway. The battle of slaying the dragon was launched because of the kingdom, and if the Duke of Piero was abandoned, wouldn't everyone in the subject country feel cold. The Eagle Kingdom has developed for hundreds of years, and only now it has countless fans, and the heart of a knight cannot be discarded!"

"Yes, Duke Piero is going to redeem it anyway. ”

"If the Gray Iron family is unwilling to redeem it, the kingdom should redeem it even more, so that the Duke of Piero will be more interested in the kingdom. ”

The ministers discussed it with a lot of mouth, some advocated that the kingdom should not take the blame, which was a private matter of the Principality of Gray Iron itself, and some advocated that the kingdom must come forward, otherwise the followers would be cold. Of course, more ministers thought that they should send the official letter to the Gray Iron Principality first and see the reaction of the other party before making a decision.

The Eagle King's temples throbbed and he was distraught.

He was familiar with the son of Duke Piero, a standard nobleman who always put his interests first - refusing to pay the ransom and putting the blame on the Eagle Kingdom, the other party would definitely do it, and would do it 100%.

So.

The ransom must be paid by the kingdom, otherwise the royal family will lose the loyalty of more followers - not to mention the ministers who encouraged him to dump the pot on the Duchy of Grey Iron, and if he did, these ministers guaranteed to be the first to betray.

Half an hour later.

He coughed lightly to stop the noisy quarrel in the hall: "Send an official letter first, find out the attitude of the Gray Iron family, if this guy Pitford really doesn't care about Piero's life or death, the kingdom will negotiate and redeem Piero back at that time...... The royal family will not abandon any of their loyal followers!"

"Your Majesty is merciful!"

"Your Majesty will never give up, and we are willing to charge for the royal family!"

"The knight is glorious, and the Duke of Piero will be His Majesty's most loyal shield!"

"May it be a spear in the hands of His Majesty!"

Seeing this, the ministers clapped their farts one after another to express their loyalty to the Eagle King.

As a result, this official letter written by Liszt himself was immediately carried by the Flying Eagle Knight and flew quickly in the direction of the Gray Iron Principality. At the same time, the news that the gray iron dragon was ridden by Liszt was also transmitted by the Flying Eagle Knight to the border and handed over to the dragon knight who guarded the border.

The internal affairs of the kingdom are generally managed by the king and his ministers, but when it comes to diplomacy and dragons, it is necessary for all the dragon knights to discuss and carry out the affairs.

When the meeting was over and the ministers were gone, the Eagle King remained on the ornate throne.

I didn't get up for a long time.

Just looking at the stone pillars carved with the royal coat of arms of the eagle in the palace hall, my heart was filled with feelings of sadness, resentment, loss, hatred, etc.

"Alonso, you have disappointed me again and again......"

"Kingdom of Fire...... If the rise of Liszt is not suppressed, the domination pattern of the Eagle, Steel Ridge, and Blast Furnace Fort in the northeast corner of the legendary continent will be turned upside down...... Perhaps, Osborne and Helde will respond to my plan, and the appearance of the Divine Dragon will impress their desires!"

Osborne Platinum, King of the Kingdom of Steel Ridge.

Halder Golden Crown, King of the Blast Castle Kingdom.

The Eagle King's eyes flickered coldly, and he was sketching out some kind of conspiracy. Liszt didn't know anything about this, and was still busy searching for the man-eating tree dragon elf.
