Chapter 42: Complexion
"For a long time after that, the northern frontier of our empire has been very calm. Even the number of passenger ships is increasing. At this, as if remembering something, Arander added: "Speaking of which, the weapons of your country were also obtained by us from a merchant ship that landed at Garobis, and were presented to His Majesty the Emperor by the governor stationed there, and before him he slashed each other with the sword of your country and the sharpest sword of our country, and your weapon was intact, but the long sword of our country was broken. ”
"In addition, after six or seven weapons were tested at the same time, your country's weapons are still intact, but our weapons, including the giant axe, have been chipped, or even shattered. Now, that sword has been given to the mighty samurai who wields him. And His Majesty the Honored Emperor also took an extremely strong interest in the weapons of your country, of course, more for the method of making them......"
With that, Elander took a deep look at King Pullen. His meaning had been conveyed very subtly through his own words, that is, their Emperor Xià was "very" interested in the process of making zuò in the royal city of Pulun, and if necessary, he would do whatever it took to obtain this method of making zuò.
Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, a military force of 100,000 is still the threat of the leading military power on the European continent. A population of only a few tens of thousands is so small in the face of a large country with a population of 7 million.
Not to mention the potential for military warfare, the total population of the Holy Roman Empire alone could crush the combined population of the three British peninsulas. The gap between the two is just like what King Pullen himself said at the beginning, this is no longer a gap in rank, but a gap in dimensions, and even the world line is not in the same position.
Therefore, Elander is very confident in being able to obtain the craftsmanship of the royal city of Pullen, at least in his opinion, no fool will offend the Holy Roman Empire at such a time, especially since the great victory in the north, the popularity and prestige of the empire have reached a new peak, and even their long-time enemy, the Kingdom of France, seems to have no confidence in the face of the roar of His Majesty the Emperor, let alone such a small country on a remote island?
"So do you mean that if we agree to hand over the method of control, we will immediately receive the protection of your Holy Roman Empire?" King Pullen asked.
"Of course, the entry and exit of the port, the security of your country, including other qiē, can be discussed. As long as you are willing to hand over the methods and workers of Zuò, we in the Holy Roman Empire can guarantee that no Norman, Scots, or Welsh will dare to risk offending the Empire to attack your royal city of Pleon. Moreover, your armies can be handed over to our Holy Roman Empire, and of course their quarters will remain with you. ”
Looking at Elander's humble but extremely aggressive face, Nee's face was already flushed, while Cassius on the side looked calmer. It's just that, as when they first met, his eyes are now round without blinking, and his pupils are full of the reflection of King Pullen.
What was he looking at? What are you looking forward to? No one knows any of this, and I'm afraid that the only person who knows is Cassius himself.
“…… Yania? King Pullen slowly turned his head to look at Yanya, who was standing on the side, and asked, "What do you think?" ”
"I don't know, what does the king think?" Yania asked rhetorically.
"Do you want to guess?"
King Pullen's smiling expression made Yania roll her eyes cutely. Again, this kind of smile that has no smile at all and still glows with a cold light. If she could, Yania would have liked to see the king show her more sincerity, the kind of heartfelt joy and happy smile.
"Thank you for your kindness! But please forgive us for rejecting this proposal, repeating, we will not accept it. Jania turned away from King Pullen's strange eyes, stepped forward, and shouted.
And her sudden move caused the great surprise of Ni and Cassius, and the face of Elander in the audience suddenly turned extremely blue.
The surprise of Ni and Cassius came from the audacity of Jania, who took the initiative to make a decision without the king's approval. However, looking at Wang's expression again, he didn't seem to care about this, nor did he show any surprise. It was as if he had known that the other party would do this, and that what she had done was exactly what he had decided.
This scene can't help but sigh, these two people are really getting more and more tacit.
However, on the other hand, Elander's face was very unsightly. He blushed, but this time he really didn't even have a smile on his face, and he said coldly: "Your country had better think about it, what you are rejecting is not a small country like this isolated island outside the world, but a hegemon destined to dominate the entire European continent in the future!" The mercy of the Holy Roman Empire is equal to his majesty, and both must pay the price to suffer the consequences of the decisions you make! ”
King Pullen snorted coldly, and then said, "That is also the premise that you have enough strength and can come to this island safely. Your country is at war with the Danes, at odds with the Italian countries, and at war with the Kingdom of France over border issues. What's more, you invaded Hungary and Poland two years ago! Although your country has a huge territory, it has hundreds of thousands of strong soldiers under its command! But what if you have an army of millions?! Do you dare to send even a tenth of your army to this island to fight against our refuelled Pulon Legion?! ”
"You, where did you know that?!" Elander looked surprised, he didn't expect the king of a small country far away on an isolated island in the ocean to know so much about the outside world. It's unbelievable to know so much about even the past and enemies of the Holy Roman Empire!
However, thanks to the two intelligence-gathering hotels in Pandora, the city of Pandora, the number of people and passenger ships that come here has increased as the fame of Pandora has grown. In addition to buying weapons, clean water, and all kinds of precious salt and paper, the people of the passenger ships and merchant ships also brought a lot of outside information to the royal city of Puren.
This kind of intelligence usually doesn't seem to be of much use, but when it comes to this special critical moment, it's a sharp dagger! Easily tear through the enemy's disguised mask and peek into the chaos beneath its formidable exterior!
"If you can get information about our royal city of Prin from the merchants and merchant ships here, can't we get yours?" King Pullen said with a blank face. "It's bold enough to go straight to the streets of our Pulen King City in a bizarre costume, and it's really hell not to be targeted by the sunspots. ”
"You ......" Elander's face was bruised and speechless.
"Elander, we in King Puren have two welcoming gifts for you. The first is honey bread and fine fruit wine, and the second is repelling and hostile. Do you want to choose that?! ”
After the King of Pleon finished speaking, he deliberately turned his head to look at the French envoy again, and then said, "Everyone always chooses the wise choice, doesn't he?" A guest from France? ”
Elander would have wanted to say no, or even humiliate King Pullen. But suddenly, the three words France deeply stimulated his brain, and Elander really had a very political background, and he reacted in an instant, gritted his teeth and swallowed back the words that were about to blurt out.
Afterwards.
As if nothing had happened, Elander tapped his sleeve twice and straightened his hat. After bending down deeply, King Chong Pleon said respectfully and humbly.
"What just happened was such a faux pas. Dear King Plun, please forgive me for my disrespect this time, for the sake of the country and your greatest interests. ”
“………… It doesn't matter, there will inevitably be some minor accidents in the exchanges between countries, and there is no need to care. ”
"Ah, that's great. Now, let us have a friendly discussion on a series of issues related to your country's arms trade with China and your country's desire to purchase war horses from China. ”
The moment he raised his head again, Elander's face was once again filled with a humble smile.
And this scene, Jeanni's eyes showed an expression of disgust. Cassius was much calmer, for he was used to it.
Yania was much more vigilant, especially in response to Elander's expression, her eyes were full of alertness.
King Pullen didn't seem to have much thought, but his eyes had become extremely fierce.
At this moment, King Pullen suddenly turned his head and smiled at the envoy of France, and said, "Thank you, your role seems to be more useful than I imagined." ”
I originally wanted to take this opportunity to test the details of the French envoy at the same time, but I didn't expect that the other party just smiled indifferently and said after preaching a slogan.
"Praise be to the great Lord. It doesn't matter, it's better than anything else that you're satisfied. Torrance Pande's somewhat infantile fat face showed an extraordinarily innocent smile, but two glints suddenly flashed in his slightly narrowed eyes, and the corners of his mouth were smiling with unknown meaning.
King Pullen's eyelids jumped when he saw it, this guy was mocking him for using such inferior means to test him, and doing it so seamlessly!
King Pullen shook his head helplessly.
"Really, one is more than the other...... Treacherous. ”
For the first time after coming to this world, King Pullen felt a headache
