Chapter 139: Undercurrent
The alliance was agreed upon from the beginning, after all, without a sufficiently weighty invitation, it is impossible for a country's top leaders to visit another country at will.
And I was rightfully left out in the cold, because they only invited an ordinary diplomatic envoy, and I came, which was equivalent to placing bait to catch a carp, but it turned out to be a whale, which naturally made the angler very uncomfortable.
And if it is an ordinary diplomatic exchange, it is enough, but this time Donglan's envoys obviously have a big plan, as soon as they enter the city, nearly 100 carriages are unloaded in the square, and "thank the Chauvin Dominion for their help for many years, and give gifts while returning the arrears, and each citizen can receive a small gift" and other propaganda has been known throughout the city.
Less than 300 small gifts were all snatched up in less than a day, but the citizens who heard the news had already spread the news, and I am afraid that everyone knew that Dao Chauvin had come to Donglan's envoy group, and it was the legendary Prince Roland who led the team.
The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, when this legendary figure who suddenly popped out of the epic biography suddenly visited, the reception staff of the Chauvinian Dominion panicked directly.
Generally speaking, it is diplomatic common sense for people at the same level of the two countries to receive them equally, and it is also a kind of respect for the host to go up to a higher level, for example, the monarch of the host country can completely receive the big lord of the other party, but the other party has a king, and a medium lord is used to receive it, which is disrespectful and unrespectful.
And this time, although Dong Lan came to have no jurisdiction, as the ancestor of the founding king, he was older than the future Queen Renee, and I am afraid that the lord who has the blood of the people of Lan can only be regarded as his junior or ethnicity, which is really a headache.
"If Princess Renee comes, it will be very generous for the Grand Lord Gagalore to receive her personally. But now Heroic Roland is here. If you count the seniority. I'm afraid that Lord Gagalore's retired father is not qualified. ”
Why don't you dig up the founding patriarch of the Chauvinist Territory from the cemetery, and then point to it and say, "This is your majesty whom you have often talked about, and only you are qualified to receive him." By the way, he has already said that each has its own count, so you must not think of yourself as a subject of the other party, let alone the etiquette of a courtier."
If these were just the troubles of the diplomats, the frustration of the top brass of the Chauvinist Dominion was real, and they only invited the envoys to talk about the future alliance to deal with the possible southward invasion of the orc army. Why is this inexplicably here, and he is still so high-profile.
Now I'm afraid that the entire Shawen knows that Dao Donglan is here to talk about the alliance, and how good is the relationship between the two peoples, and now he is giving a big gift as soon as he comes, posing as if something big is about to happen, but there is actually no news on his side.
For the diplomatic alliance, which came prepared and completely uninformed on the other, there is a high risk that the negotiations will fall into passivity, and they have been meeting for three days to study it. And I researched something, but I was bored in the embassy. After the last, he simply started the next step in advance and started his own soft public opinion propaganda.
And at this stage, Gagalore finally made up his mind that there was nothing to discuss behind closed doors, so it was better to invite me over.
And I just entered the Lord's Mansion, and I haven't sat down yet, and I was about to surprise the other party, but I was surprised by the other party first.
According to the information, Gagalol. Hubble was a fat man, and the strong man in front of him with his bare upper body and the eagle tattoo on his chest came to life with the fluttering of his breath, it was definitely not him.
"Dear Lord Roland, I am Gauss, the son of Chief Caro of the Eagle Tribe, and I greet the Immortals on behalf of my father and the tribe."
The barbarian's warm handshake (if it is mostly a hug on the mountain) is not so pleasant, in front of the giant of about two meters and four, I have simply become a bean sprout, and whether or not I can bear the innate brute force that comes with enthusiasm is also an important factor for the barbarian to measure whether the other party is worthy of association.
"This strength, eighteen points of strength, is only the silver level is so powerful, it is really terrifying, it is worthy of the battle race of all bronze blood."
But for me with more than 20 points of strength, I can't even call it hard work, no matter how you pinch it, it will only hurt your hands at the end.
Sure enough, it was Gauss himself who let go of his hand first and shook it vigorously, but Gagalore walked over with a smile and cleared the siege in time.
"Your Highness Roland, welcome to Chauvinling, I am the Great Lord Gagalore here, my ancestors should have been your people three hundred years ago, your arrival is simply our biggest surprise and glory this year, please take a seat, please take a seat."
At this time, I was trying not to laugh out loud, Gagalol's bulging belly, five short figures, fish-man-like ears, bulging eyes, and sure enough, it was the same as the data, and he really looked like an upright frog.
And in the face of the other party's enthusiasm, I smiled.
"Was it one three hundred years ago? So, is there a desire to become a family in 300 years? ”——
If the formation of the corps is an immediate enhancement of combat effectiveness, then education is a long-term cultivation of humanities and national heritage.
In this world, knowledge is the strength of the power is definitely not an empty word, but the establishment of a college of higher learning and the cultivation of a career growth embodiment is the embodiment of the country's heritage, history, and comprehensive strength.
The reason why the country of mages is difficult to deal with is because there are many mage academies up and down the country, and when there are well-known and difficult mage clusters in the combat profession, when the top mages who step into the immortal choose where to use as their research place, no one will take the initiative to provoke without a long eye.
Olivia traveled thousands of miles to Orlan to study, fundamentally speaking, because Orlan's alchemy is world-famous, and his alchemy academy has cultivated countless alchemy masters, attracting countless alchemy scholars to take the initiative to study, but in turn, it has made the alchemy of the Orlan Empire all the way ahead.
Nowadays, in addition to the recent construction of the barracks, Diefender is also building various colleges, such as the German School of Landscape Architecture, Diefend's Life School of Medicine, the Pet Breeder Training Technical School, the Donglan Branch of Nanxiang Law School, and the Xicheng Mechanical Engineering College.
If you judge by their names that they are normal schools, you are very wrong.
The full name of the Ashkenazi Academy of Landscape Art is the Druid Jungle War Art Academy (which is also a crash course in gardening - we also teach plant planting). The speakers are all scheduled to be leading figures from the various druid factions. In other words. Many of them are simply ultra-dangerous people among the pan-continental wanted criminals.
The Druids are hostile to all the human kingdoms, often living in isolation in the mountains and forests, but they have strange and swift connections among their various sects, and many wanted criminals are willing to try their "innocence life" under the guarantee of the Storm Eagle.
It was a mystery what kind of disciple such a dangerous master would teach, at least at first, when I hit a soft nail in front of a bad-tempered druid.
"What? Cultivating new varieties of plants that can withstand winter and cold? Do you know why we are wanted? It's because we want to punish those bastards who violate the laws of nature. Are you sure you want us to help you nurture such a deformed lifeform? We're really going to beat you up! ”
But when I made my request, I got a faceless reply.
In a fit of annoyance, Storm Eagle's answer was quite truthful - "My lord, no one can do this. We can let the plant mature earlier, or even let it mature twice a year under our catalysis, which is the privilege that nature has given us. But fundamentally changing the characteristics of a species, this is unnatural, and we absolutely cannot do it. Theoretically, as long as he is a druid, he can't do it, and we must follow the laws of nature. This kind of thing that violates the laws of nature. Probably the only way to find the Dark Druid. ”
If the druids are the public enemies of the continent, the dark druids who fall into the chaos side are the madmen who believe in chaos. They also believe that unnaturalness is a mistake, but the dark druids are much more insane in every way.
Cities as artificial land are undoubtedly unnatural, ordinary druids will pursue a life away from the city, more when the forest is invaded, angry counterattack, while dark druids will try to create a hurricane and flood to destroy the city, and their craziest thing is that they deny the existence of the gods, believing that the priesthood itself is meaningless, and the existence of the church of gods is more of a sin, and all natural elements should be returned to their origins.
Not easy to understand? For example, when they think that the Poseidon should not exist, because the conscious sea manipulators are a threat to nature, they will try to attack the priests of the Poseidon Church whenever they have the opportunity.
In fact, not only will the Poseidon Church be attacked, but almost all of the Church of the Gods will be on their blacklist, so the gods of both sides have unanimously branded these radicals as dark druids, and they are still on the wanted list.
Donglan gave the druid the green light to the gods, but if he recruited the dark druid, I am afraid that he would immediately be suspicious of his position and wonder if the sleepless person was crazy.
Well, I had no choice but to give up, but luckily, Amira came so that I didn't end up dealing with the dangerous dark druids, and the Ashkenazi Academy of Landscape Architecture also got their best headmaster.
"What? Those disobedient little druids? I didn't see it, oh, I just beat all the teachers that day. I guess it's one of them. ”
From the principal to the teachers, they are so violent, I am afraid that this garden college, which is supposed to be harmonious and friendly, will cultivate a large number of violent elements.
As far as I know, the Ashkenazi Landscape Architecture College is the most normal among the many colleges that are about to open classes recently.
The principal of the Diefender Life School (whose name I gave it) is Helois, alias Xiao Hei (still from me), and the main teaching is all kinds of necromancer magic in addition to modern medicine, and I am afraid that he is also the first necromancer college to run in a dignified manner in the realm of the living.
I am even a visiting professor in the Department of Undead Creation in this academy, and its plague class is probably the strongest in the world, after all, Kakana's group of super undead alchemists are in charge.
Well, for this reason, the Templar Church has issued a serious warning, and many countries have protested, but I have mercilessly thrown these into the pile of old papers, anyway, there is no contact between us for a long time, as for the pan-continental anti-undead pact? I've always thought of a convention that I didn't sign as waste paper.
Needless to say, the Donglan branch of Nanxiang Law School is nothing more than the above-ground version of the underground world realm headquarters campus, but because of the use of Kolos as the signature lady and Xuehoi as the honorary president, their enrollment this year has far exceeded that of other colleges.
Xicheng School of Mechanical Engineering. It is mainly divided into two major families - the goblin self-explosion system and the dwarf death system. The self-detonating masters of goblin work and the death masters of dwarf engineering are the headmasters. Okay, I'll admit that it's just my personal biases and mouths, but I've always felt that this is the most essential feature of this college.
Well, that's all for the introduction to the Academy, what? Is there still a pet breeder training technical school?
Well, after all, you can't ignore the past, so I'll briefly introduce it - the principal of the technical school, Sadness, teaches "all kinds of tricks to get along with beasts". Needless to say, the rest will be said.
When I saw this proposal, I almost actually stuffed the Sorrowful Wind into the Aurora's main cannon and sent him out of Ash with one shot, but this was the reward he asked for after miraculously completing the task of taming the Winter Wolf, and it has been proven that in the Northland, where monsters are everywhere, it is really necessary to impart the ability of Sorrowful Wind.
In the end, under the temptation of hard power, I reluctantly compromised, but in order to avoid being an eyesore. I dropped this college directly on the outskirts of the city, while their office building. I directly arranged for the abandoned Big Ben clock room, which has been abandoned for more than a dozen floors, just to help them exercise.
[Want a powerful warrior? Okay, train and train yourself. - Build a barracks and plan to send troops? The interstellar war next door is beckoning. 】
Okay, since the system spits out the barracks and can't send troops, I'll build an academy to train the backbone of the future, anyway, throw a person into it, and in a few years it won't be able to harvest a strong type of troops, which is fundamentally different from the unscientific barracks, it's just that the cycle is a little longer and the investment is bigger.
And now, when I was discussing important matters with the Chauvin Lord and the Barbarian Prince, my entourage should have spread the admission brochures of these academies throughout the Chauvinist Dominion, as I intended.
They should now be weaving their way through the country lanes and making noise in the city squares, trying their best to attract this year's freshmen, and of course, there is no shortage of the possibility of fighting for the sake of life.
"Mixed-race people are discriminated against? Don't worry, ma'am, we didn't have this before, and now we have used the forbidden spell of the City of Innocence, the God of Law, to guarantee it, and are you afraid that your son will be bullied? By the way, please accept this flyer, it has my number on it, if you take this to the Xicheng Mechanical Engineering College to register, you can save the tuition of hardware! ”
"No, no, I didn't take the kickback, really...... Okay, ma'am, I'm convinced, okay, then save seven gold coins on tuition, but you're going to introduce me to other students. For each introduction, I'll give you a rebate of two gold coins directly! ”
Goblin Kabbalah is currently the number one performer, because he has developed dozens of enrollment offline, and now he can sit and count the money.
"Well, does the Alchemy Academy have one? I want my daughter to learn alchemy, and we don't have a decent alchemy academy here. “
"This is really not true, but you can consider enrolling your daughter in the Diefend Life School of Medicine, the head of their epidemic prevention department (the propaganda name of the plague department to the outside world) Master Kakana is a legendary alchemist, and her two apprentices are also legendary alchemists, with their teachings, your daughter will definitely become a super alchemist."
Well, a young girl who aims to be an alchemist finally goes to the path of a necromancer under the flicker of the admissions dealer.
"Donglan's best fleet command academy recruits, you want to become the new admiral, and you want to have countless warships. Palace? Welcome to the upcoming Royal Naval College of Donglan No. 1! ”
Well, regardless of Runa's dad Sampier. Papin was shouting how hard he was to recruit the lowest number of students, but now he had recruited two future black admirals who had never admitted that they had a black face, and they clearly had some kind of cognitive impairment.
Cause? The Principality of Donglan is a landlocked country, and there is no navy at all, probably normal people think he is telling jokes...... Of course, the root of the problem is that I won't let him say that the Donglan Navy, which has floating warships, is under construction.
For people who don't know the truth, the name of this garden art college is obviously too literary and artistic, and it may not be able to fill the stomach in the subsequent job competition, and for people who understand it, it is obviously a bit beyond expectations to give themselves or their children to wanted criminals to train them to become public enemies of the mainland.
And the most speechless thing is the enrollment method of a half-dragon person who went into battle in person, he didn't even prepare the enrollment materials, that is, he held a few flowing water banquets and bonfire barbecue parties in the square, and then chatted with the visitors on the wavelength, and the inexplicable enrollment number ranked second.
"Hey, you're all so much, split the two of us."
"I'll look at the rankings...... It seems that we do have more than twenty free, so let's take a hundred gold coins if you want. ”
It's no wonder that they have worked so hard to recruit students, and even started to resell students, after all, I plan to use their enrollment performance to calculate the budget of each college next year, which is a real lot of gold.
This kind of thing is not only happening in Chawen, the recruitment work in various parts of Donglan has been in full swing long before our departure, in a sense, I am not greedy for short-term effects, but is trying to change this weak country from the roots.
Of course, in Shawen admissions, I don't hesitate to throw a large amount of gold coins to improve the motivation of admissions staff, and I still have my own little abacus.
At this time, I was in the conference room, proudly looking at the two high-level executives of other countries who were in a daze.
What shocked them and disregarded diplomatic etiquette were the two photographs in front of them, one was the sacred place of the barbarians, Osolovan Peak, where the photo had become a ruin surrounded by war, and the one in front of Gagalore was a picture of the Dominion of Gavin, where there was no so-called Dominion at all, just a wooded wasteland on one side.
Without my presence—without the rise of the Principality of Donglan—without the support of Donglan—the half-bloods might not have been able to persist in finding Chauvin—without Chauvin's Dominion.
I can understand such logic, but in the eyes of the chauvinist lord, what it represents is terrible - "Could it be that chauvinism has been completely erased, and there is not even a trace?" ”
"These are the pictures of the future that I have obtained through my prophetic powers, and I can vouch for their authenticity in the name of the Light. You can take a closer look at what will happen to your people's land in the future, and then think about it before answering my advice. ”
Looking at the two big guys whose faces turned pale in an instant, I smiled proudly. (To be continued......)
