December 1621 in the Holy Light Calendar.

At 10:05 a.m., the Dawn airship crossed the border between the Far East and Canaan after a three-hour voyage and successfully reached the skies over Medes.

Two minutes later, a group of knights took off in snow-white pegasus and circled around the silver whale-like airship. Through the porthole, Roland met the curious gaze of the Pegasus Rider and smiled and waved at the other party.

The Pegasus Knight held the reins in one hand, pressed his right hand to his chest, bowed slightly on the horse's back, and then waved his hand, leading his companions to turn around and fly into the city. At this time, Jennifer had received a reply from the ground, and learned that this team of "blue sky knights" was the personal guard of the Canaanite prince Glova Zion, and had come to navigate the airship.

The Dawn followed Pegasus slowly down into the city of Media, and the translucent eggshell-like barrier that enveloped the city was removed in time, containing the airship, and landed safely in the square in front of the Doge's Palace a moment later.

The plaza, which temporarily serves as a tarmac, has already been cleared out of enough space, surrounded by ropes and guarded by heavily armed guards to urge onlookers to stay away from the tarmac.

Around the square, a large crowd of citizens gathered to watch the lively scene. The locals are no strangers to Pegasus, Wyverns, and even the Griffin, but for the first time in their lives, they are both curious and a little intimidated by the sight of lifeless steel ships floating in the air. The wind whipped up by the propellers as the airship landed heightened the tension of the onlookers, and the panic at the scene perfectly fitted the literal meaning of the word "fleeing from the wind". But when the airship turned off its engines and the wind subsided, the people calmed down and carefully gathered around to watch the excitement.

Corophas and his entourage came to the square to greet the Kolas mission, accompanied by the local officials and gentry of Medes, as well as the Canaanite Foreign Minister Ruben Schulte and his negotiating team, apparently prepared.

Roland was the first to walk down the gangway, and when he saw Corofa coming towards him, he smiled and stretched out his hand to him. After a year, the two crown princes of the Far East and Canaan reunited and shook hands and embraced each other amid the cheers of tens of thousands of Medes. The entourage on the Far Eastern side filmed this scene in time with the "Saizeriya Mirror". By tomorrow morning at the latest, this significant photograph will make the front page of major newspapers and magazines in the Far East, as a historical witness to the further strengthening of diplomatic cooperation between the Far East and Canaan.

Colossa, as the crown prince, also served as the governor of Media, and prepared a sumptuous luncheon for Roland and his party. The diplomats of the two countries have the ability to be chameleons, and the moment before they were talking happily with each other, and after they had eaten and drunk enough, they were ready to go to war, eager to tear their opponents apart and swallow them alive.

In the afternoon, the two countries will hold formal consultations on many issues such as border security and trade, and Roland and Colossa have seen the same thing, and neither of them will show up at the negotiation site, leaving the work of arguing with the professionals to the professionals. While Quintiliang and Rubin were each leading a heated argument, the two princes were walking side by side in the grassy garden of the Governor's Palace.

In this elegant and beautiful scenery, in order not to spoil the atmosphere, both of them deliberately avoided too serious political topics. Roland recounted his travels over the past year, Corofa's intriguing descriptions of the Beacon Mountain, and the exoticism of Parnia.

Roland stopped by the stream, took a sip of water, and washed his face twice. The clear water of the stream refreshes people's hearts and spleens, dispels the heat of the Gobi Desert after the morning, and the spirit cannot help but be lifted.

"Don't tell me alone, how are you doing, how do you seem listless......" Roland noticed that Grofa seemed to be preoccupied, and casually asked, "Are Audrey and Holden okay?" I haven't seen each other for a year, have the two little ones become a little more stable? ”

Grofa shook his head and smiled bitterly: "On the contrary, Holden is going further and further down the path of mischief, and Audrey is no better......"

"Oh? What kind of pranks did they come up with? Roland looked surprised.

"They are not satisfied with messing around in Canaan, they have already crossed the meteorite ocean and rushed to the New World." Grofa's face was full of helplessness, "At the beginning of the year, not long after we returned from the nightmare city of Akron, Holden had a whim and decided to travel to the New World, of course the adults in the family did not agree to him traveling alone, so Holden sneaked out, and when we realized that he had run away from home, this guy had already boarded the ship. ”

"That's really Holden's style." Roland couldn't help but laugh.

"This has happened many times, my father has long been surprised, and my stepmother is inconvenient to meddle in disciplining Holden, and Audrey is not at ease with her little brother, but unfortunately the way she chooses to care is really laughable."

"This situation seems familiar...... Roland rose with a strong sense of déjà vu, "If I'm not mistaken, Audrey didn't say goodbye and ran to the New World alone to track Holden?" ”

"You guessed it, now that the two little ones are letting themselves go in Jotunheim, I have to suspect that Audrey is so focused on having fun that she has completely forgotten her original purpose before she traveled." Colossa smiled wryly.

"Jotunheim?" Roland put away his smile, "How do you get to that kind of place?" "Jotunheim is an area where the Assanian Empire is fiercely contested with Fizhen and Hailan, and it is not good for Audrey and Holden to go, why should they play in an extremely dangerous war zone.

"It's hard to put it into words...... Colossa, who seemed hesitant to confide in Roland, before he continued, "Audrey and Holden had not yet been at war when they arrived in Jotunheim, and they did not realize that they had been unwittingly drawn into a dangerous maelstrom. ”

Roland quickly recalled the information about the Jotunheim area, the first news of the discovery of the huge magic crystal mine was in June this year, and soon after it caused the three major powers of the Yashan Empire, Hailan and Feizhen to covet the colonial companies in the New World, and successively sent additional troops to the mining area, and finally turned into a war due to the uneven distribution of benefits, and it has been half a year since the outbreak of the war, and there is no sign of a ceasefire in sight.

On the surface, the royal family of Zion did not seem to be involved in colonial disputes, but Roland vaguely remembered that the Canaanites also had colonial companies and many settlements in the New World, although the scale was far less large than that of other powerful countries, but the local wind and grass could not hide the eyes and ears of the Zion royal family, why did they not participate in the competition for mining areas? Do you know that your strength is insufficient, or do you have other ulterior motives?
