"How do you think you should deal with the upcoming Iron Ridge Kingdom envoy group, grandfather, and father?"
The topic of the study revolves around the founding of the country, slowly spreading, and Liszt looks forward to the political wisdom of the Marquis of Merlin and the Marquis of Oxtail. It is true that he is a dragon knight standing at the peak of strength, but the establishment of a country cannot be stabilized by strength alone, and it still needs to balance its own forces and balance external forces.
In this regard, he obviously did not see as clearly as the two veteran nobles.
The main thing is that he has been in the ascendancy for too short a time, and his understanding of the knightly system in this world is not deep enough, or he despises this backward system in his heart. He knew that the system must conform to the productive forces, but he could not dispel the sense of superiority from the civilized world and change the contempt for backward systems.
"First of all, we must analyze the purpose of the Iron Ridge Kingdom Emissary Mission. Marquis Merlin set the tone, "Judging from the current information, the envoy group must be coming for the situation that Liszt is about to establish a state, the dragon knight and the magician have joined forces, and the establishment of the country is unstoppable, and the attitude of Steel Ridge should be obvious." ”
William Li nodded: "Steel Ridge wants the country to become their vassal, expand its power, and treat the future flame like a sapphire...... Maybe Liszt will be crowned Grand Duke of Fire soon. ”
"Then father, grandfather, do you support my country to become a vassal state of Steel Ridge?"
"If you build a country in this sea, it is the best choice to become a subject country of Steel Ridge, the Eagle Kingdom has mastered sailing technology, and it is a competitive relationship with us. Moreover, the power of the Eagle Kingdom is declining, and if you unite with the Iron Ridge Kingdom, you may be able to share more benefits in the future. William Lee said.
Marquis Merlin frowned: "It may not be a good thing to unite the Steel Ridge, the balance of power on the continent will allow us to have the advantage on both sides, if the Steel Ridge is strong, it may not be possible to make a move against the sea...... Liszt's dragon knight, Ake's magician, will change the mainlander's perception of the sea. ”
"But the Eagle Kingdom has made an enmity with us, and I am afraid that there is no way to switch to it. ”
"The state has only interests, no friends and enemies. ”
"But I still tend to become a vassal of Steel Ridge, join forces with Sapphire, dominate the sea, and completely cut off the hand that the continental kingdom has extended to the sea. ”
"William Li, you are too superficial...... Ahem...... Marquis Merlin coughed a few times, his body was getting worse and worse, but his spirit was excited, "The sea is no longer exclusive to sapphires, since the Bull family rebelled and brought out sailing technology, the sea is about to usher in a new era!"
"What era?" asked William Lee.
"In the era of strife, the Eagle Kingdom can see the threat of the sea, the Iron Ridge can naturally see the convenience of the sea, and the rise of the dragon knight and the magician will accelerate the development of the situation in the sea...... If this island can breed dragon knights, then it is no longer a desolate place!"
"But the sea is poor in resources after all, and it can't tolerate too many forces to intervene. ”
"If you can't tolerate it, you have to step in, the mainland kingdom will no longer give the island country time and space to take off, you look at it, the competition on the sea in the future will definitely not be calmer than the mainland. The Marquis of Merlin's eyes flashed with wisdom, as if he had seen the magnificent Age of Discovery.
The taro family has always been known for its shrewdness.
At that time, his father gambled all his family property to fund the Grand Duke's development order, in exchange for the huge profits of Red Crab Island.
He himself has been in the country for decades, accumulating a lot of resources and improving the status of the family. It's a pity that the heirs are not prosperous, the son's talent is cold, and the grandson's talent is average, so he always holds his breath. However, in his grandson, he saw a resurgence of the glory of the taro family's bloodline - who allowed Liszt to inherit too many of his mother's good looks.
Seeing this handsome and charming face, he unconsciously remembered his youngest daughter Melissa, who was like the pearl in his palm.
"Liszt Flame, you have the ability to change the pattern of the sea, and the future sea will surely make waves because of you. Whether it's Steel Ridge or Bear Eagle, or Sapphire, they will eventually lose to you, seize the opportunity, and the former Grand Duke's title of 'Master of the Sea' will belong to you. ”
"Of course I understand that. ”
Liszt's praise for his grandfather was calmly accepted, which was his planned future: "I just think that even if the country is founded, I am afraid it will not be in this sea area." The expedition team has not yet set off, but if it finds a suitable Jianguo Islands, it should be far away from Steel Ridge or even away from the Bear Eagle. ”
"Hmm. ”
"It's possible. ”
William Li and Marquis Merlin nodded at the same time: "If this is the case, it is better to fool around in the face of the envoy group first, and wait for the location of the Jianguo Sea to be found, and then discuss the next choice...... If you can't find a suitable location on the sea, you can probe the wind, but you can build a country within the sphere of influence of Steel Ridge. ”
"You don't have to build a country in Steel Ridge, but you must understand the attitude and sincerity of the Royal Family of Steel Ridge. ”
"I see, then, grandfather and father, when the envoys arrive, you will communicate with the envoys on my behalf. ”
"Yes. Marquis Merlin nodded directly.
William Li, as Liszt's father, naturally would not refuse.
......
That is, three days later, on December 24, the envoy group of the Iron Ridge Kingdom, accompanied and escorted by the eldest prince, came to Dark Horse Island.
Liszt received the delegation of emissaries on the pier.
The head of the envoy corps, with a standard steel cavity, bowed gracefully.
"His Royal Highness Liszt Tulip, Head of the Emissary Regiment of the Iron Ridge Kingdom, Kent Magic Elephant, on behalf of His Majesty Osborne Platinum, the only King of the Iron Ridge Kingdom, greets you and congratulates you on becoming a member of the Dragon Knights. Greetings also to His Excellency Acerroides Truth, whose birth is a symbol of the Truth once again walking in the world. ”
Liszt bowed in to accept the greetings: "Thank you for your greetings, and on behalf of me and His Excellency Aquiroydes, I extend my sincere greetings to His Majesty Osborne. ”
"Your Highness Liszt, allow me here to offer here the congratulatory gifts that His Majesty has addressed to you and His Excellency Achilloydes. Kent waved his hand, and the members of the envoy group suddenly walked over with a large pile of gifts.
With Liszt's subordinate knights, one gift after another is delivered. They are all very valuable gifts, gemstones, jade, magic metals, monster materials, and some special products. For each transaction, a member of the emissary group shouted out the name of the gift.
These valuable gifts caused many knights to gasp and marvel at the value of the gifts.
Liszt smiled as he waited for the delivery of the gift, the moment when the kingdom swore its majesty and wealth, and he did not mind the behavior of the messengers.
Just a slight look at the unique clothing style of the envoy group.
With the magic elephant as his surname, Kent, the head of the envoy group, must have been born into an aristocratic family that cultivated both magic and fighting spirit, just like the magic goat family that the Grand Duchy of Sapphire collapsed a hundred years ago. It was probably King Osborne who heard that a magician was born and deliberately chose such a family.
From this point, it can be seen that King Osborne is still very sincere.
As for King Osborne himself, Liszt didn't know much, but he had heard some talk from the Grand Duke of Sapphire about a young and talented monarch.
Not a dragon knight yet, though.
The young monarch's target is the platinum dragon in the Dragon's Lair of the Iron Ridge Kingdom, also known as the platinum dragon or platinum dragon, which is the origin of the royal surname "platinum".
