Chapter 1428: An Audience with the King
The guest rooms in the Governor's Palace were quite comfortable, and Jia Zhengjin and the others slept until dawn and were full of energy after getting up.
The Governor of Stanfano prepared breakfast, entertained them to enjoy, and then led the team to the port docks.
Last night, I worked overnight, and the port damaged by the monster has been repaired, and the wreck has been almost salvaged.
This is thanks to the fact that the wreck is not far from the port, and then Jia Zhengjin's timely intervention caused the Warcraft to shift its target. Otherwise, the damage they cause will definitely not be repaired overnight.
"Pastor Martin, this is the letter I wrote!" Governor Stanfano carefully handed a letter wrapped in fire paint to Jia Zhengjin, "which contains a full description of what happened yesterday, as well as what we discussed. I believe that His Majesty the King, after reading the letter, will be able to understand a little bit in this regard. ”
"Your Excellency Governor Lao!" Jia Zhengjin took the letter and nodded, "I will personally deliver the letter to His Majesty the King." ”
"Well, this ship is for you, and the round-trip fare has already been paid. Governor Stanfano pointed to the large ship docked at the docks, "It will soon be departing, Reverend Martin and a few messengers, please get on board!"
Thank you Governor for your hospitality last night. The next time I have the opportunity to come to the Holy Dragon City, I will definitely exchange courtesies to let you have a good memory. Jia Zhengjin said with a smile.
"It's a deal, I can remember!" Governor Stanfano laughed, "When to go to the Holy Dragon City, Pastor Martin can't pretend not to know me!"
"Of course not!"
"Then please get on board!" said Governor Stanfano, "and now it should be possible to arrive before His Majesty rests." If you enter the palace in time, you will be able to complete your mission earlier. ”
"Your Excellency the Governor has thought so much, thank you!" Jia Zhengjin immediately took Tina and the others onto the boat, and then thought about Governor Stanfano waving goodbye.
"All the best!" said Governor Stanfano with a smile and a wave.
The other merchants had already boarded the ship, just waiting for Jia Zhengjin and them.
So as soon as the men went up, the sailors immediately began to pull off the bridge, pull up the anchor, and set sail.
The boat rode the waves, crossing the sea for more than an hour, and arrived at the heart of the island nation of Eland Sea, the capital of Berry, a beautiful island in the middle of the ocean.
When I entered the island, I found that it was actually very vast, and it was not the kind of small island that I had in my impression. If I have to say, it can actually be regarded as a circular continent. It is estimated that it will take more than a month to hike around the island.
The island is beautiful, and the arrival of boats at the beach port is already refreshing.
Beautiful golden sand beaches, clear blue waters, verdant tropical plants, countless cute creatures flying, running on the ground, swimming in the water, and the queue of pedestrians coming and going through the road all give people the feeling of being on vacation in Hawaii.
It would be nice to make this an otherworldly version of Hawaii, right?
Jia Zhengjin imagined that the beach was full of modern ice cream and gourmet shops, countless handsome men and women in swimsuits lying on the beach basking in the sun, chasing and playing, and swimming, playing, and surfing in the seawater.
The wives woke him up in his imagination and urged him to hurry to the palace, or else the king would rest late, and he would have to wait until the next day to talk about business.
Jia Zhengjin reacted, immediately put aside the messy thoughts in his mind, took the girls to ride the tiger bees, and hurriedly marched towards the castle and palace in the center of the island.
Fortunately, there was no delay on the way, and the team managed to reach the outside of the castle.
Tell the commander guarding the castle of his intentions, hand over the letter from the governor of Stanfano, and stand where you are.
After the general went in to report, he came back and asked the soldiers to get out of the way and asked Jia Zhengjin to bring the "envoy group" to the king.
Jia Zhengjin entered the palace with the generals, and found that the civil and military officials were sitting quietly on both sides, and a middle-aged man who looked to be about forty or fifty years old was wearing a king's costume, wearing a crown on his head, and holding a scepter in his hand and sitting in the middle, which should be the king of the island country of Yilan.
On either side of the king, it is clear that there are prime ministers on the left and right.
"Pastor Martin, the envoy of the Holy Dragon City, lead the envoy group to meet ——!" After entering the palace, the official who immediately asked for his name in advance shouted loudly.
"Please go to Your Majesty," the general reminded softly, pausing beside him, "Don't be rude!"
Jia Zhengjin nodded, and took Tina and the others to the innermost part of the palace as solemnly as possible, and stopped in front of the steps under the king's throne.
"The envoy of the Holy Dragon City, a member of the Holy Soul Mercenary Regiment, and the priest of the Church of Light, Martin Payton, lead the envoy group to see Your Majesty!" Jia Zhengjin put his right hand on his chest and bowed his head slightly.
Tina and the others did the same, and stayed quietly behind.
"Bold!!" a general next to him suddenly snapped up, "Don't you kneel and salute when you see Your Majesty?"
"Kneel down and salute, is what the envoys of the affiliated countries need to do, right?" Jia Zhengjin looked sideways at the general who spoke, and said with a blank face, "I don't know when the Holy Dragon City became a vassal state of the Ilan Island Country! Or does Your Majesty have such thoughts?"
Seeing Jia Zhengjin turn his head to look at him, the corners of the king's mouth twitched, and he immediately picked up the scepter and knocked it on the ground, and said angrily at the general who stood up and shouted: "Guliza, are you an idiot? Why don't you hurry up and apologize to the messenger?"
Then he hurriedly looked at Jia Zhengjin: "Don't be angry, envoy, this is just a momentary gaffe of General Guliza." He is very good at leading troops to fight, but his brain is a little bad, so don't be surprised if you offend the envoy!"
Jia Zhengjin was actually quite angry at this general's words, but the king of the other party was very interesting, and immediately apologized to himself, at least he could let it go.
Reprimanded by the king, the general named Guliza was somewhat embarrassed. Especially when the king glared at him with angry eyes, he knew that he had really said the wrong thing, so he quickly stood up and lowered his head and said, "Don't be surprised, messenger, I just can't talk more than my brain! In fact, I don't even know where the Holy Dragon City is, I'm really lonely!"
As soon as these words came out, Jia Zhengjin's face became even more strange. The heart said that you are apologizing or deliberately picking on thorns? Are there still people who don't know about the Holy Dragon City? Do you think the Holy Dragon City is not worth mentioning?
The king's face was even worse when he heard this, and he almost stood up and threw the scepter out. Fortunately, the prime ministers on the left and right looked fast enough, and quickly pulled him back: "Your Majesty, hurry up and let General Guliza leave, if you annoy the envoy, it's not a joke!"
"Yes, yes!" The king reacted at this time, that stupid person said the wrong thing again, this provoked the envoy of the Holy Dragon City, and the island country of Yilan would disappear in an instant! After all, the master of the Holy Dragon City was a super strong man who could kill even the gods!
