Chapter 136: Letters and Representations
Lords and Kings of the South:
Hello.
I am the king of Mona, and my name is difficult to describe in your language, so you can call me King Mona.
We originally thought that the monsters going south would cause you a lot of trouble, so we restricted the monsters going south. But I've heard from a few mercenaries that I'm sorry for bothering you because we've prevented the monsters from going south.
……
We will no longer stop monsters from going south, and we hope that you will stop sending soldiers to invade our territory......
————
Looking at the three identical "letters of apology" in his hand, Viscount Aorel had a feeling that he couldn't complain. While saying "I'm sorry", he also released monsters to attack human territory in the south, how does this style of painting feel weird?
Viscount Iorel raised his head and looked at the two halflings below: "You have met a group of rabbits in the north who can command monsters, and those rabbits asked you to bring this letter back to the lord of the kingdom?" ”
"Yes." The two halflings nodded like chickens pecking rice.
"Can you explain why the rabbits said they would let the monsters go south?" Viscount Iorel turned the letter around, "What did you say to those rabbits that caused such a misunderstanding?" ”
The two halflings were caught by the wyvern all the way, and they didn't have a chance to peek at the letter, so they didn't know what was written in the letter. After hearing Viscount Ioril's words, the two halflings could only honestly explain what had happened when they met Mona.
Hearing the story of the two halflings, the surrounding onlookers couldn't help but whisper a discussion.
"A rabbit with wisdom?"
"Mutated monsters?"
"Looks like a creature that can communicate......"
"If the north were to be taken over by other creatures, would the queen agree?"
"What if the queen doesn't agree? After all, someone else has actually occupied the north, and unless war is declared, only the rule of those rabbits over the north can be recognized. ”
……
Viscount Iorel waved his hand and beckoned a knight: "Take the two of them down." ”
"Lord Viscount, we have to return to the Redstone Fortress and report to Lord Baron." A halfling hurriedly spoke.
Hearing the halfling's words, Viscount Iorel paused slightly, bowed his head and said to the two halflings: "I have something to ask you later, and I will summon you after I finish dealing with the current matter." After speaking, Viscount Eorel turned to the knight on the side and ordered, "Arrange two ordinary rooms for them in the castle." ”
"Yes." The knight commanded.
Hearing that it was an ordinary room and not a cell arranged, the two halflings breathed a sigh of relief.
The knight departed with two halflings, while the funeral service in the church continued.
After the coffin was sent to the cemetery and buried, the guests dispersed, and Green returned to the castle with the Viscount's party to see how the Lord of the Eagle's Nest would react when he received the letter.
Shortly after Grimm returned to the castle, the castle's butler invited him to his study.
There were quite a few people in the study, including not only Viscount Iorel and his son, but also several knights and officials who looked like the Viscount's henchmen.
In front of everyone, Viscount Aorel handed a letter to Green.
It was a letter brought back by the halflings.
There are two kinds of text on the letter, one is Palomian and the other is square square words, and both of them are super ugly! At the end of the letter is a large rabbit paw print. As for the contents of the letter, Green knew it even without reading it.
The core of the letter is two points: first, to express apologies, implying that he is willing to communicate with humans; 2. Indicates that the north of the Tara River is the territory of the Monas, and warns the human lords not to continue sending scouts.
Soon, Green finished reading the letter, and then looked up at Viscount Iorell.
"Do you know what kind of script this square script is?" Green asked the Viscount.
"I don't know what kind of script it is, but judging by the structure and shape of the text, this script is a bit like a variant of the dwarven rune script and the ancient elven script." It was the young scholar who stood beside the baron who explained to Green.
Greene: "Hmm...... In other words, the rabbits who wrote this letter are an unknown civilization with their own language and writing? ”
The young scholar thought for a moment: "This possibility cannot be ruled out. ”
"And what are you going to do?" Green glanced around the people in the study.
"That's why I'm looking for you." Viscount Iorel suddenly spoke, "It was originally Your Lord's territory, and this kind of thing has happened, and we want to hear Your Excellency's opinion. ”
"I don't know." Green had a wry smile on his face, "When something like this happens, I don't know what to do with it is the right choice." ”
"Lord Green, what happened when you were in the north?" A middle-aged knight suddenly spoke, "Please tell us, this is very important to us. ”
"Hmm...... Actually, there's nothing that can't be said. I have the ability to destroy space, so once I arrived on the Floating Island, I began to try to modify the surrounding monster nests to make them less threatening. Grim paused, "As for the outcome, I think you can guess somewhat, right?" After all, there is a destroyed nest in the forest not far from Eagle's Nest City. ”
The middle-aged knight frowned slightly: "The area around the nest that you destroyed has become a cursed place that is no longer suitable for human existence?" ”
Green: "I don't know if it's suitable for human survival, but since then, monsters have begun to be no longer limited to the range of their lair. ”
"It's a really bad situation." The middle-aged knight frowned slightly, "So you gave up your territory and chose to run away?" ”
"No resources, no supplies, in exchange for Your Excellency, will you sit still?" Green spread his hands, "In an extremely unfavorable situation, retreating and retaining strength is the right choice. ”
The middle-aged knight frowned, as if he didn't like such an answer very much.
"So, is the attack on the spaceship related to those rabbits?" Viscount Iorel interjected.
"This kind of thing should be asked of the rabbits or the survivors of the ship." Green spread his hands.
Viscount Eoril thought for a moment: "Your Excellency Green, do you have any opinion on the origin of these mysterious rabbits?" ”
Green pondered for a moment: "I'm afraid I don't have much say in this. There are quite a few longhorn rabbit nests in Miracle Valley, but I don't think the longhorn rabbit is the same species as the 'Mona' who sent this letter. I think we need more communication to determine what kind of creatures these rabbits call themselves 'Mona'. Judging by the letter, though, the rabbits don't seem to mind communicating with humans, which is a friendly sign. ”
Viscount Iorel: "Do you think we should talk to them more?" ”
Green flicked the paper in his hand: "Isn't this just an opportunity to communicate?" Send a messenger to clear up the misunderstanding and ask the rabbits to stop the monsters from going south. Being able to reduce the number of monsters per month and reduce the pressure of the demon tide, I don't think anyone would refuse this kind of thing, right? ”
After selectively revealing the information to Viscount Eorel and expressing his opinion to the Viscount, Green left the study.
In the study, Viscount Eorel looked at his subordinates: "What do you think?" ”
"Anyway, let's talk to the rabbits first." A young knight spoke, "If the north can be peaceful from now on, and the threat of monsters can be solved once and for all, it may not be a bad thing. ”
"Agreed."
"Agreed."
"Agreed to negotiate in principle. The only thing to note is about the demarcation of the borders of the territory, if we use the Tara River as the boundary, we will lose part of the forest across the river. ”
"We need someone with weight to go and negotiate with them."
