CHAPTER 100 VI. Diplomatic Efforts

As the second high priest of the Frank Kingdom, Magrahn has a lot of affairs to deal with every day, and it can even be said that he has surpassed the limits of human beings. But Margrahn had to endure the overload of work www.biquge.info, because it was the price he had to pay as the ruler who actually held the power in the country.

At the moment, as the decision-maker of this country, Magrahn has a headache to deal with, and that is the envoys Senas and Aram sent by Palchi.

If there were any mistakes in Magrahn's decision-making over the past few years, helping Yaki go to war with Palch was the biggest one. Originally, Magraln's plan was to take advantage of Yaqui's request for help to gradually expand his power to the east, in preparation for a larger war in the future. But it backfired, and the mercenary group sent by Frank not only suffered a big defeat, but also lost the famous general Fisher, which can be said to have lost face. Not only was it unable to carry out the original plan, but it also greatly offended the Palchi nation, which, according to the survivors' reports, was stronger than expected. This feeling was not very obvious at the time, but it became apparent that Frank had lost not only an ally, but also a formidable enemy.

In this sense, it was a good thing that Palch sent an emissary this time, and Magrahn could take the opportunity to seek peace with Palci, and even to establish friendly diplomatic relations. It's a pity that Magrahn can't do this at the moment, because the exile group of the remnants of the Yaki country led by Count Jacob is taking refuge in Frank country, and as an ally, Frank has agreed to his request for refuge, and I believe that Palch has already known about this matter, and if the other party proposes to hand over Jacob and others as a price for peace, then Magrahn will be very embarrassed.

If Count Jacob's group were merely exiled asylum-seekers, then perhaps Magran could have secretly handed them over to Palci, but Gilmus, the exiled prince of Yaqui, had established himself at the fortress of Baroud in Arubania, and contacted Count Jacob and others to grant him the post of plenipotentiary envoy to Flac, and provide them with the necessary financial assistance. Thus the Count of Jacob was transformed from a poor exile into an envoy of Yaqui, and if the emissary of an envoy of a country disappeared inexplicably, it would surely cause a sensation in Frank's country, and Magrahn would inevitably be questioned. Therefore, in the face of the Palci envoy, Frank's attitude was in a dilemma.

In addition, the two emissaries sent by Palci were also enough to surprise people. The Count of Senas and the Viscount of Aram were well-known figures in Palci, both of whom were highly decorated generals, and countless Yaqui officers and generals had died at the hands of them. But what is surprising is that these two men who have been fighting on the battlefield have diplomatic skills: Senas is a giant with red hair, and at the same time a drinker who is good at words; Aram is a handsome young man with a baby face. After Frank landed, they did not go directly to the capital, but paved the way with rare treasures that none of the Frank priests had ever seen, and made friends with the nobles and manor owners along the way. Senas's heroism was admired by many nobles, and Alam's charisma won the favor of noblewomen. The feisty Alam also made 57 sword competitions along the way and maintained a record of all victories, earning him the title of "Lightning Swordsman" and becoming famous. Along the way, most of the Frankish nobles had a good impression of these two envoys, and Jacob, who had nothing to do but spend and drink, was as inconspicuous as a stone on the side of the road, which put pressure on Magraln.

However, no matter how difficult it is, it is impossible to keep the matter in motion, and Senas and Aram still arrive in the capital, and Magran, as the ruler, must receive these two envoys. As a sign of solemnity, Magrahn also had the Chief Priest of Glagul, Frank's highest spiritual symbol, present at the meeting.

Although he had heard of what they were doing, Margran was shocked when he saw the outfits of the two Palci emissaries - the red-haired Count of Senas was dressed in splendid gold armor and carried his terrifying greatsword, like a god in the sunlight; Viscount Alam beside him was dressed in a brown suit similar to his skin color, and his cyan cloak matched his thin sword, full of the outfit of a wandering swordsman. As a dignified envoy of a country, he actually wore a military uniform to meet him, which is also unusual enough.

"Her Majesty Queen Palciafret and Her Royal Highness Prince Li Tianhao of Dils have entrusted us to come to the Frankish Kingdom to express our friendly wishes and hope that your country will maintain friendly and mutually helpful diplomatic relations with our country in the days to come." The voice of Senas echoed through the hall like a bell, and anyone who did not have a disability in his ears could hear it clearly.

"Two Palci guests have come from afar, and it's been a hard work." Magran spoke aloud, but instead of inviting them to sit down, he watched coldly as the two messengers would react.

Seeing that Magrahn neither said anything and did not invite himself to sit down, Alam raised his eyebrows, cleared his throat and said, "This lord must be the famous second high priest Magran, right?" ”

"What does Viscount Alam have to say?"

"I would like to ask Lord Magraln one thing, I wonder if you know the essential difference between the former Yaki country and the current Palchi country with your erudition?"

Magrahn thought for a moment and said, "If Your Excellency the Viscount is talking about the political systems of the two countries, then you really don't know much about it, and at most you can only know a little about it. ”

"Your Excellency, you're complicated. I'm afraid I don't know more about this than you do. What I would like to say is that there is an essential difference in the way people think in these two countries. ”

"Oh? I would like to hear about it. Magrran said unhurriedly.

Alam smiled slightly, and said, "The people of Yaki are good at thinking about how to keep their seats under their ass from being taken away by their opponents or colleagues; Palci, on the other hand, are adept at taking their opponent's seat and taking it for themselves. ”

Alam still had a big smile on his face, but the atmosphere had changed. His implication was that if Frank's nobles and priests were unwilling to be friendly with Palci, then Palci could oust them from their thrones and seize their lands by force.

Although he knew that the other party was just bluffing to say this, and that Palch was currently at war with Arubania, and there would be no strength left to attack Frank again, but Magrahn read in Alam's smiling eyes that he had a strong murderous aura hidden, and this murderous aura was enough to make many people present regard this as a real threat.
