"As noble traditional nobles of the Empire, the Rodriguez family certainly has the right to refuse to allow some foreigners who are not recognized by the Empire to approach their direct territories without permission. Please don't use the endorsement of the West Coast Council as an excuse for their regulations to be applied only to the barren and ignorant places on the West Coast. In the Great Plains, the legitimacy of the so-called Western Continent Imperial Legation was to be confirmed by the Council of Oroyusta. ”

In the stone pavilion constructed of the improvised arcane, the representatives sent by the Rodriguez family perfectly displayed the skills of arrogance and aristocratism with polite manners and tones. The nobility of the Great Plains region is the real imperial aristocracy, which is their self-consciousness and pride.

"Of course, you can also bypass our direct territory, but only a hundred or two hundred miles away, and you can also advance towards Oroyosta, and when you get there, you can formally submit your application to the council. I believe that with this young lady of the Royal Academy as a guide, you will not get lost, and you will definitely find the right way to apply. ”

"Alright, I've said what I need to say, please allow me to leave. The representative bowed deeply and withdrew ten meters with an even pace and speed before turning away.

"This guy ......" watched the polite and rude creature fade away, and the slender sword eyebrows of the female mage Mottley almost tied a knot in the middle of the brow.

The figure of the envoy had not completely disappeared, and Jamal Rodriguez, who had been spinning back and forth like ants on a hot pot not far away, rushed over, half-kneeling to the female mage and said urgently: "I'm sorry, dear Ms. Motley, I really don't understand what happened to the elders in the family, they completely ignored my advice and arrogantly refused to 'dry' the imperial envoys, this is really rude, please forgive me, this is definitely not what I want to see......"

Mayor Jamal's voice was urgent, his expression was anxious, and even the corners of his eyes with obvious crow's feet were a little tear-stained, and the female mage was immediately relieved, and after a while, the infatuated mayor got up with tears in his eyes, patted his chest and said that he would definitely persuade the leaders of the family to go back, and turned around and followed the messenger away with his entourage.

“... You don't seem to be surprised at all, as a representative, don't you protest or something?" As the chief of staff representing the legations, he did not say a word from the moment the representative of the Rodriguez family spoke. Since there is no surprise of rejection, there is no anger that should be felt after being despised at all.

"That's just a little person who came to pass the word, and the other party has already shown his attitude, is it useful to protest or something?" Feng Yinqiu was still unfazed, but still asked: "Is this attitude of the Rodriguez family very abnormal?"

"Neither abnormal nor abnormal. The mage shrugged. "The nobles of the Great Plains are arrogant, and the proofs and guides provided to you by the backwoods of the council on the west coast carry little weight to them. The direct territory is the last territory that they can be completely autonomous after the war, less than one percent of the territory of the Imperial Era, which is already their last face, and it is normal not to let outsiders enter it at will. ”

But they didn't seem to have to say no so directly. After all, the road you opened is also very beneficial to the Rodriguez family, and trade with the West Coast will definitely bring a lot of income, but it seems a little strange to show such an arrogant refusal at this time...... Maybe there's something inside the Rodriguez family that we don't know about, right?"

"Hmm. Feng Yinqiu just nodded and didn't say anything.

"Tell me, what should you do next?" asked the mage instead.

"Of course, I'm going back to ask for instructions. ”

"What else do you want, isn't it up to you to decide what you really want to do?"

Feng Yinqiu smiled slightly, but did not answer, and an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes.

The female mage watched in amazement, as if something had changed in the Western man since she had been controlled by the psychic arcane in the basement, making it even more difficult for her to see.

Back in the temporary camp of the Daqian envoy group, in the big tent of the Chinese army, Lord Li Wenmin, who learned all this, was naturally furious.

"How can this be reasonable, it is simply unreasonable! A barbarian prince dares to despise my dignified envoys of the Celestial Empire in such a way! We are exterminating bandits on the west coast, intimidating Xiaoxiao, slaying evil dragons, and subduing barbarians, so great martial arts, do they really think that they will not dare to use it on them?" Lord Li was foaming at the mouth, his face was full of bruises and furiousness, and he was so angry that he seemed to be about to wipe out those barbarians who did not know the height of the sky.

Fortunately, he didn't really think so, he took a slight breath, he put his eyes back on Feng Yinqiu, coughed and asked, "Mr. Feng, what do you think?" Do you think you need to let them know how powerful this kind of barbarian is by thunderbolting?"

"What is this......" Feng Yinqiu muttered. "Actually, there is no need to rush to a conclusion for the time being, after all, the situation behind it is not very clear, I have already entrusted someone to find out one or two......"

It was at this time that a soldier's announcement came from outside: "The Guardian Hand of Gawain's knight asks to see him." ”

"Please let him in for a while. Feng Yinqiu's eyes lit up. "Isn't this inconvenient at the right time? ”

After a while, the chief guardian of the West Coast, who he hadn't seen for a long time, walked in, still looking like he was still covered in dust and slightly tired, as if he was always busy with things to run around. After he came in, he only made a slight gesture to Master Li, and then approached Feng Yinqiu and whispered. Master Li didn't understand the Euro language, but looking at Feng Yinqiu listening carefully, he could only pretend not to care, patiently holding his beard on the side, his eyes slightly closed, and making a look of being unfathomable and profound.

Gao Wen's words were quickly finished, and Feng Yinqiu's face also showed a hint of playful brilliance, and he turned to Lord Li Wenmin and said: "According to the situation inquired by Gao Wen's knights, this European prince surnamed Rodriguez is indeed arrogant, Lord Li is right, it is necessary to punish these people who do not know the height of the sky, let them understand that the power of our Heavenly Empire cannot be taken lightly." ”

"Okay!" Master Li slapped the table, shaking his palms with pain. "It seems that Mr. Feng is confident, so I will ask Mr. Feng to do it. ”

"What about the Westerners?

The mage named Diesel sat at the large sandalwood table, like a mercenary in a tavern who would die for five silver coins, and crossed his legs high on the table that was a work of art, and picked up the carved porcelain teacup to swallow the thirteen finely processed black teas that had been appreciated by the Arcane royal family. He didn't seem to be very satisfied with the delicacy of the Rothschild family, and frowned at the empty cup, and said, "What does this tea smell strange?" Oh, by the way, I heard you still drink human milk, and give me some, and let me taste the pleasures of this nobleman. I hope it's a girl under twenty years old, oh, it's supposed to be a young woman, hahahaha. ”

This tasteless hillbilly, damned eastern nouveau riche.

Navarro Lou Rodriguez, one of the principals of the Rodriguez family, stared at the archmage, the corners of his eyes twitching uncontrollably, and it took a lot of effort to hide his look of contempt and anger. He was sure that in the hundreds of years of the existence of the Rodriguez family, there had never been such a vulgar guest in this living room.

It's just a simple hillbilly, of course, it is impossible to set foot in the living room of the Rodriguez family, and you must at least be an upstart. The nobility of the Great Plains was impressed by the quality and weight of the Ogin and various arcane items from Incre, as well as the rustic and vulgar nature of the Inclair mages.

Recalling the sparkle of the gems that the mage had taken out, the luxury of those arcane props and golems, Navarro finally had a smile on his face, and gestured to the butler standing by the door in the distance, signaling him to do what the guest said, and then smiled at Archmage Diesel: "Your Excellency Diesel please rest assured, I have sent someone to refuse the requests of those Westerners to enter our family's direct territory, and they should not have the slightest disturbance of our transactions." ”

"Call me Mr. Diesel, or at most Mr. Diesel, you always feel uncomfortable with that title, like a character singing on stage, haha. When my dad was still alive, he hated the guys who were called Your Excellency. ”

Mage Diesel stroked his big bald head and laughed like a lumberjack drinking and farting with a bunch of his peers in a tavern. In fact, his appearance really looks very close to those coolie workers, with a sturdy body, neither powder nor perfume, a completely unkempt countenance, rough and casual behavior, if it weren't for the mage robes that explain his identity, and the jewelry full of arcane aura on his body, he is really a low-class civilian who relies on labor to make ends meet.

The corners of Navarro's eyes twitched again. Inclair is now known as 'mages everywhere', this is not to say that the fertility rate of Inclave's nobles suddenly exceeded the boundaries of human beings, dozens of births, but the arcane education they began to implement after the war was simplified and popularized, so that civilians can also receive arcane education, most of the current mages are born from civilian families, maybe a decade or two ago in front of the mage who was courteous by the Rodriguez family was really sweating while picking his nostrils in places like fishing boats and woodworks.

This kind of deviance, the vulgarization of noble arcane, and the juxtaposition of the spiritual soul of the empire with the sweaty artisan farmer is absolutely disgusting to the orthodox imperial aristocracy. If it weren't for the fact that the empire existed in name only, I'm afraid a war against Inclave would have broken out long ago. Even so, the ridicule of Incre has been one of the most politically correct entertainment for the self-proclaimed aristocracy of the empire over the years, and countless plays and poems that satirize and denigrate the hillbillies of the eastern plateau have become popular in Oroyosta.

But no matter how much drama there is, no matter how good the ridicule is, it can't let Incre's strength suffer a substantial loss. Far from the intrusion of empires and alien warfare, these decades of development have turned that once barren highland into the most vibrant and vibrant place on the continent, with tens of thousands of new mages emerging from the improved arcane schools, and various improved arcane and alchemy golems used for production and farming. It is said to have prospered as much as it did during the imperial era. In recent years, under the impact of the large sums of Ogin and gem crystals brought by Incre, the image of the mages of the Eastern Plateau has improved a lot, from deviant and lowly fools, hillbillies with bugs in their heads, to lowly and stupid nouveau riche.

Navarro hadn't been to Inclave, he hadn't seen anything comparable to the prosperity of the Imperial era, but the trend was clearly felt. The amount of Ogin and gems that this Diesel mage took out was quite large, to be precise, even the Rodriguez family had not been able to make such a large sum of money for many years. Navarro is sure that as long as he can make this deal, his position in the family will definitely be able to go further.

So no matter how vulgar the hillbilly is, or the hateful nouveau riche, you need to be patient at this time. Navarro wiped a strand of hair that had accidentally fallen from his sideburns due to the twitching of the corners of his eyes, and said in a tone as if he didn't care, "Well, Mr. Diesel, rest assured, I have sent someone to solemnly declare that they will not be allowed to enter the direct territory of the Rodriguez family." Even if they really had some weird Western sorcery, they couldn't still perceive those things from a distance of dozens of miles, right?Although the group of strangers had the proof of the West Coast Noble Council, as well as the recommendations of the Guardian Hand and the Temple of Daylight, these things were worthless in the eyes of the real imperial nobles......

"Wait, just refuse?" Mage Diesel was stunned. "What if they insist on rushing in? We don't know if their savage sorcery really doesn't notice..."

"Rush in?how is that possible?" Navarro finally couldn't help but laugh. This eastern hillbilly really can't seem to get rid of that lowly and rude way of thinking. "They are a foreign legacy, not a foreign bandits. How could they have acted so violently unless they had first renounced their identity. ”

“... And even then, wouldn't it be better? if they renounced their status as legaries, they would be nothing more than a bunch of dangerous bandits and thieves, and we could call the convoy to exterminate them at any time. The gifts that are still in the legation will no longer have to be obtained without great difficulty. Wait for the rest of the stuff to come from Oroyosta, and you'll be able to get it all. ”

"It wouldn't be bad if that were the case.," Mage Diesel rolled his eyes. "But are you sure you can wipe them out with the help of the clan guards? I heard that the two foreign powerhouses in them have some great achievements on the West Coast. ”

As he spoke, Master Diesel had been playing with a small porcelain ball with a unique shape, and on it there were square words that had never been seen before in this European civilization. If someone from the Great Cadre Envoy was here, they could see at a glance that this was part of the previously stolen gift gift, one of the semi-finished products used to collect mercury and melt gold in the Waidan Dao.

"The best thing that can be done in the backwoods of the West Coast is a few fights with the dwarven barbarians and the rotting Northern Legions. Navarro was unimpressed. He didn't have any interest in those Westerners, and he didn't even bother to send someone to inquire about the information in detail, but he had probably heard about it. The pride and self-confidence of the nobles of the empire made him sure that it was not necessary. "Rodriguez's family guard is made up of elite soldiers who have served in the Southern Legion, so it won't be a problem to deal with some Westerners, not to mention that we can also ask for reinforcements from Oroyosta...... And I'm sure you're not going to sit idly by, are you? I've heard about the power of the Alchemy Item for a long time, and I guess it won't disappoint me. ”

Master Diesel's eyes rolled again, not big, but round, like two small balls rolling in a large bowl on his rough but still round face. This turned around as if he had figured something out, and he looked up and laughed: "That's right, that's right, that's right, hahahaha......"

"Allow me to ask a question. Navarro said suddenly. "Since those Westerners were meant to send these gifts to you Incre in the first place, why would you do anything more?"

"That's a stupid question. Master Diesel touched his big bald head and looked at Navarro with a smile. "What the Rodriguez family gets, is it the same as what you get?"

This vile bald hillbilly. Navarro smiled gracefully, indicating that he understood. It seems that the rumored Duke of Inclave, who is extremely talented and capable, also has the 'common things' that all aristocratic circles have, and the so-called Eastern Plateau, a new paradise of arcane art, is far from so simple.

At this time, in Oroyosta, in a secret residence of the Fernandez family, Julia Fernández, the flower of the imperial capital, is secretly receiving two strange guests. Because she was watched by hundreds of pairs of admirers at all times, and these two guests were too strange for her, she had to do so secretly.

Taking a long strip of wind elemental crystals of gigantic size, Julia looked at the pale and thin young man in front of her with a strange expression, and said, "Okay, Pinris, since this can smooth out your expenditure accounts, then I can leave you out for the time being...... It's just that... Do you really want to introduce new peripheral members to the organization at this time? And this... This Westerner ......"

"Please call me the invincible, radiant, benevolent sword, beautiful young lady. The big man on the side took over the conversation, and expressed his enthusiasm and energetic voice and gestures that he could not be ignored. "Don't use the general and slightly discriminatory concept of 'Westerner' to describe me, I promise that it only takes a little bit of insight to understand my talents, talents, extraordinary talent in the arcane, and strong personal charm that will shock you, and most likely you will fall in love with me. Hahahaha......"

PS: Hey, I'm really sorry, I had too many worries some time ago, and I also had an attack of gout, and I made it into a half-moon change, but fortunately, it was basically dealt with, and the child also went back to the countryside temporarily, and gradually resumed the update.
