The eyes of the two primeval dragons fell on them at the same time, and there was such an obvious expectation in their eyes, which made Melita, who was once accustomed to eating and waiting for death to get paid, suddenly subconsciously shrunk her neck, but today she is not the same as before, after the initial tension passed, she pointed to herself: "Could it be that this candidate is ......?"

"You are the most suitable," said Speaker Andal, in a deep voice, "of the younger generation, you have the most contact with the continent of Loren, and you have a personal friendship with Gawain Cecil, and in terms of personal ability, you are also good at dealing with changes and dealing with the unexpected—Tallund has been closed off for too many years, and has experienced a devastating war, and we can't find many diplomats like you these days." ”

Melita opened her mouth, in fact, she had guessed that things would develop like this halfway through the conversation between the two leaders just now, but at this time she couldn't help but whisper: "But I...... There are some personal things ......"

Hagere looked at it curiously, and his tone was gentle: "A private matter? ”

"I'm going home to hatch the eggs...... Melita said with some embarrassment, "Noretta and I just claimed a dragon egg." ”

Speaker Andal immediately thought about it and nodded slightly: "I seem to have heard Duke Moore mention this, Norreta submitted the application last week. ”

Melita felt a little ashamed - Talrond needed herself right now, and she didn't think she should let her own personal problems affect the overall situation, but she couldn't resist mentioning the matter of going home to hatch the eggs, after all, she really didn't want Noretta to take care of the dragon eggs by herself. But at this moment, she has already made a decision in her heart, and the final judgment on this matter is left to the two leaders, after all...... The work of the Permanent Ambassador is more important, and the matter of taking care of the dragon egg is not so urgent.

"Well, I have a suggestion," said Hragore suddenly, "you can go to Cecil with the dragon eggs—and if the situation calls for help, you can also ask Gawain Cecil for help." ”

"Take the dragon egg to Cecil?" Melita's eyes widened in surprise, "What do you mean...... Have the baby dragon hatch outside of Talrond? ”

"I don't think that's a problem," Andal nodded slowly, "In the past, we had a law that forbade taking dragon eggs away from Talrond, let alone recognizing the hatchlings that hatched outside Tallrond, but that's because of the existence of the 'Cradle', now that times have changed, this outdated law should be scrapped like many other laws of the old era - we will open our doors to the outside world, and more and more dragons will go to the Loren continent to work or live, and it is normal to be allowed to carry dragon eggs." ”

"Ah, I'm okay with that," Melita said at once, "but Noretta's side...... She just took care of the dragon eggs for a short time, if I take the eggs away, will she ......"

"She can be your liaison officer? Responsible for the connection between Tallund and Cecil, which can be used as a messenger until communications are re-established, if one day we re-establish a cross-sea channel? She can also serve as your diplomatic assistant – sure? Is this a preliminary plan? "As a permanent ambassador, you can't go to Cecil alone?" And Noretta was your logistical support during the Mithril Treasury period? The two of you have a tacit understanding of cooperation. Do you think this arrangement is appropriate? ”

Melita blinked, then laughed, "Of course you can!" ”

It was more than appropriate—it had far exceeded her expectations.

However, while she was satisfied, she was a little worried: "No young dragon has ever hatched outside of Talrond before?" After all, the magical environment of the Loren Continent is different from this one? Can dragon eggs really hatch safely over there? ”

"You should have more confidence in the vitality of dragon eggs? It's not as fragile as you think? Hlagor said? A little weird look on your face? "And you're going to Cecil...... Gawain Cecil can even hatch a god. ”

Melita couldn't help but remind beside her: "Actually, it's not hatched...... The last time I saw it, it was an egg. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt that her sentence was inappropriate, and it seemed that she lacked respect for the former dragon gods between the words, but when she wanted to change her words, she found that what she said was the truth from beginning to end, and she couldn't help but raise her head a little embarrassed, but met the equally embarrassed gaze cast by the two dragon leaders.

“…… Let's change the subject, shall we? "Hlagor finally broke the silence?" For example, let's discuss the details of the economic stimulus plan. ”

Speaker Andal immediately nodded: "I agree. ”

……

Bright and warm sunshine sprinkled all over the paths and flower beds of Changzhi Manor? Let the stream that flows through the manor sparkle and sparkle? Ferdinand Wendell stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the manor hall, a flower vine hanging from the balcony on the second floor swaying gently outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and the vine was lush with green leaves? Embellished with flowers.

At the end of the harsh and long winter, the wet and cold and short spring, the summer of the Aldernan Plains has finally arrived, and the luxuriant summer is unfolding its magnificent picture on the land, and the sight of the leafy fields bodes well for all, as the people of the manor and the town have often said these days—that the second half of the year is probably going to be better.

It was indeed a good day for the aging Grand Duke Ferdinand—the hardest days were over, the precious family members were back with him, and today was his happiest day since returning from the battlefield of Winterhold.

The Wendell family, loyal to the Empire, have been decimated over the years, and he can't afford to lose another granddaughter.

"Aldenan is building momentum for your return, in the military's propaganda, you will be a hero who has kept the elite of the Winter Wolves and avoided the complete loss of control of the border, Your Majesty will personally award you medals and hold a welcoming ceremony, and the council has basically been taken care of, and no one will embarrass you and your subordinates," the old man did not look back, he knew that Andesa was standing behind him, "As for now, the news released to the public is that your injuries have not healed, and you need to continue to recuperate in Changzhi Manor for a while- You can adjust your state during this time and learn more about the changes in your country during this time, but it is best not to meet people other than people you can actually trust. ”

It's been a long time since my grandfather has taught herself about this like this—Andesa thought.

She is no longer a little girl who has just entered the military and political circles, and there are many truths that do not need to be taught by others, but at this moment she still listens carefully, and did not break the silence until the old duke finished speaking: "So Your Majesty asked me to leave the imperial capital temporarily and recuperate in the Changzhi Manor, which is essentially a kind of protection - will I return to the position of General Wolf?" ”

"Of course this is a kind of protection," the old duke nodded and said, "As for the position of 'Wolf General', Andesa - you have never been deprived of your title, you will return to the army, and soon you will return to Winterwolf Castle, Your Majesty trusts you, he knows what you have paid to protect the interests of the Empire, and there is no more suitable person than you on the northwest frontier of the Empire." And ......"

The old duke's words stopped for a while, and Androsa couldn't help but ask, "And what?" ”

"After the Battle of Winterhold, the Empire suffered a great loss, and the Mad God dealt us a much worse blow than the outside world guessed - I won't tell you the specific data here, you can go back and take a closer time, you just need to know that there were many famous legions that were removed after that battle, including several national knights, and a large number of officers were killed, including many high-ranking generals...... The Winter Wolf Legion and the entire legion chain of command that you have managed to protect will assume the role of the mainstay in such a situation, and even to a certain extent, you are already the only elite force on the northwest frontier of the empire that is fairly fully organized. ”

Andesa didn't make a sound, but her breath couldn't help but choke.

"Now, you should further understand why Your Majesty has gone to such great lengths to shape your status as a meritorious person, so that you can return to the Empire and return to military power smoothly and smoothly."

"Is it available...... Andesa whispered to herself with a somewhat complicated expression, and then sighed slightly, "In any case, fortunately, the empire has passed the most dangerous stage, and now that the alliance has been established, we don't have to worry about external wars at least for the time being, as long as the situation within the empire can remain stable for a period of time, with the economic recovery brought by international trade, most of the pressure will be relieved......"

Duke Ferdinand turned around and looked at Andessa with some surprise: "I didn't expect you to start paying attention to this kind of thing now - the Andessa I remember was a child who never cared about business and domestic affairs." ”

“…… There's nothing to do in Solinburg," Andesa said, with a hint of embarrassment on her face, and began to reflect on whether she had neglected her "homework" in the past: "In my free time, I would find some books to read, as well as newspapers and radio—in my opinion, Cecil's newspapers and radio were very instructive, and although they were popular, they were all-encompassing, and ordinary people, academics and politicians alike had the opportunity to find something to think about, unlike similar things that we have been promoting." ”

Duke Ferdinand's eyes were a little deep for a while, and as he listened to Andessa's words, he couldn't help but think of a long conversation with him after Rosetta the Great returned to Aldenan not long ago, and what was mentioned in the conversation - thinking, the right to think regardless of class, status, or status.

In Aldenan, many aristocrats questioned it, the stupid dismissed it as meaningless, and the wise realized that it would further shake the foundations of the aristocracy, but Peddinand knew that with the release of several internal documents of the Theocratic Council, these doubts would soon be like words on the beach, and they would soon disappear the next time the waves came.

He shook his head, putting aside the irrelevant associations in his mind for a moment, and glanced Andesa up and down: "Sounds like your attitude towards Cecil has changed a lot—in the past, you would hardly have made any positive comments about the people and things in that land. ”

"Will this change in attitude affect how Aldenen's upper class thinks of me?"

"Yes, especially in the time you have just returned to the Empire from Cecil, there are countless pairs of eyes waiting for you to say this - although the alliance has been formed and peace has become the consensus of everyone, there are still many people who are nervous, and in the long run, we do always need such a group of nervous people," Peddinand said directly, "so it is necessary for you to control your words in public, and of course, I know that you will be able to handle this aspect of the matter yourself." ”

Speaking of this, the old man paused for a moment before looking at his granddaughter with curiosity: "So, now you can tell me, what made you change your mind about that land?" Don't you hold a grudge against the past? ”

"Gawain Cecil is indeed a respectable man, and there are many things to learn from that land, and ......," Andesa pondered her words, but she couldn't help but hesitate when she said the second half of the sentence, she hesitated again and again, and finally made up her mind, "Besides, my father is still alive." ”

Archduke Ferdinand's expression instantly froze, and the whole person lost his reaction as if petrified, and after more than ten seconds, the old man took a sharp breath as if he suddenly remembered how to breathe, and looked at Andresa's face with wide eyes: "What did you say?!" You say Badta...... He's alive? ”

"Yes, father is still alive," Andesa took a light breath, she finally organized the language, and the second half of the sentence was extraordinarily fluent, "he was in Cecil." ”

"He's in Cecil?!" Duke Peridinand's mouth opened wide, countless thoughts flashed through the old man's heart for a while, his mind became chaotic like never before, and it took a lot of effort to maintain his ability to think, "You mean, he was captured?" Was he captured by the Ansu back then? And now he is a captive of Cecil? Or ......"

"Calm down, grandfather," Andesa couldn't help but step forward and grab her grandfather's arm, she didn't expect that this old man who was famous for his strength, calmness, and majesty would one day have such a gaffe, but she thought of the day she had just met her father, and she knew that her chaotic situation at that time was not much better than that of Ferdinand now, "I know what you are thinking, but things are much more complicated than you think, my father was not captured by Cecil, and he was not captured by Ansu back then, he ...... He's been through a lot and he's not what you know him anymore, but he's still a man of trust and integrity. ”

"He ......" Peddinand opened his mouth, he thought of Andessa's character, with her character to tell a thing in such a mouthful way, there is only one possibility, that is, things are really complicated to an unimaginable degree, "what is he doing now?" ”

"He is a researcher in the Cecil Empire."

"Researchers? You mean the kind of people who delve into books...... A general, now turned into a scholar? ”

"Yes."

"And what is he working on?"

"I don't really understand, but it seems like I'm figuring out how to listen to some kind of ...... from afar Signal. It's not a secret there, but even if it's openly discussed, few people can figure it out. ”

"So he's a ...... High-level scholars? ”

"It seems so."

"O ancestor of the family," Duke Peridinand couldn't help but cover his forehead, "in the end...... What's going on? ”
