Act 281 The Invitation of Erec II
Suspicious, White Steel handed over a letter from King Erek II of the White Sands Kingdom to Dimerson.
"If I understand correctly, tomorrow your Majesty will entertain me at a banquet in the Colosseum. Is this a custom in your White Sands Kingdom? The place where the king and the king first met was actually the gladiatorial arena!? ”
Dimerson showed an embarrassed expression, as the same monarch, it was indeed not solemn enough to set the meeting place in the gladiatorial arena, but ...... With what he knew about his own king, it wasn't surprising that he did such a thing!
"I'm very sorry, but His Majesty has no ill will.
His Majesty Erec II, he is an avid gladiatorial enthusiast, and if the mood comes, he can even watch gladiatorial fights while dealing with official business!
His Majesty even had a special private room in the Colosseum of Baisha, where he often entertained guests and handled official business, and although it was relatively rare for him to meet other kings in the Colosseum, there were two or three precedents.
In fact, His Majesty spends far more time in the gladiatorial arena than in the Imperial Palace, so this time I am afraid that His Majesty did not do it on purpose. ”
Bai Gang's eyebrows furrowed: "I hope that he deliberately treats me lightly, as long as the misunderstanding is resolved after frank communication, I believe that the existence of Stormwind City is beneficial and harmless to the White Sands Kingdom."
But if His Majesty Erec II really didn't realize the importance of this meeting at all, and the important ministers around him didn't advise him......
Forgive me for being blunt, in that case I would have to downgrade His Majesty Erec II. ”
Dimerson smiled bitterly helplessly, and he always showed this expression whenever an unwitting foreign friend saw the absurdity of that Erec II.
With such a king, they are also very tired as subjects!
The Glenn family's private harbor was outside White Sands, a considerable distance from the Colosseum, so after a night's rest, White Steel set off early the next morning, accompanied by Dimerson.
However, White Steel did not accept the carriage offered by Dimerson.
The purpose of their visit this time is to show the presence of Stormwind, and naturally they will not be so stupid as not to even bring a car.
So Dimerson was surprised to get into the "carriage" without horses.
"It's really an interesting alchemy product, Your Majesty's alchemy masters are really extremely powerful people, and now this car and your steel battleship should all be from the handiwork of a legendary-level alchemist."
White Steel is noncommittal about Dimerson's feelings, and he is now concerned about the endless flow of people on the road and the dense crowds of vendors on both sides.
This place is much stronger than the desolate and decadent Divine Duze Empire!
"What is the festival today and why are there so many people here?"
The interest shown by the white steel Di Mosen couldn't help but raise his neck proudly, rich, this is what they are proud of in the White Sand Kingdom!
Every foreigner who comes to White Sands for the first time is drawn to the bustle here, and now, even the extremely wealthy Storm King is no exception.
"No, it's not a festival today, in fact, Baisha City has always been so lively."
Bai Gang smiled slightly, that's good!
He was really afraid that the White Sand Kingdom was also as barren as the Holy Duze Empire, and that place had no additional profits to earn except for mineral resources! Moreover, because of the lack of population and poor roads, the cost of development is considerable.
To be honest, Bai Gang always felt that his mood now was very much like that of those European colonists who had just arrived in China in history.
It's just that the white steel that has a lot of goods on hand that can be plundered doesn't need to use some inferior means like those robbers.
Along the road, along the way, Baigang, an ultra-luxury hardcover version of the Dongfeng Warrior, has gained the attention of every Baisha person.
As the commercial capital of the West Coast, the people of the White Sands Kingdom tend to be quite confident in the mysteries.
But today they were really blown away - the carriage that could move on its own without pulling a horse, and it was made of steel, was a miracle that had never been heard of!
Soon, a group of children began to run after the car, and even a few naughty ones wanted to rush up and touch it with their hands to see if the magical carriage was really made of steel.
Because there are too many people, the car can't run fast, if it weren't for the cleverness of the guards around me, I'm afraid I would really have to let these boys get their hands on it!
Seeing the car gradually moving away, the residents of White Sands City immediately began to have a frantic discussion, and at this time, a group of "very knowledgeable" people suddenly appeared, and they told the people around them about the great achievements of His Majesty the White Steel - destroying the undead portal and saving the dangerous Echo Canyon battle; Reaching out to save the Divine Duze Empire, which was about to fall.
Of course, in addition to these favorite heroes, what is even more talked about is the wealth of His Majesty the White Steel!
The carriage that can move on its own, the steel battleship that can float on the sea, these strange things alone are enough to drive the wealthy nobles of the entire White Sands City crazy, not to mention that he brought a large amount of Mithril to trade this time.
With the commotion caused by the entry of the steel battleship into the harbor yesterday as a foreshadowing, this time the gossip about White Steel spread very smoothly, and before it was dark, even the snotty children in the slums knew that His Majesty the rich King White Steel had brought two full ships of Mithril!
This is of course a fake, in fact aluminum ingots and aluminum coins make up almost half of the cargo, and the two ships carry many other kinds of trade goods.
If you want to make the White Sands Kingdom crazy for Stormwind, Mithril alone is not enough.
Mithril is destined to be sold only to those at the highest level, and it is just a little more talking point for ordinary people, and whether it has or does not affect their lives at all.
This is not good news for Stormwind, which is looking to maximize profits.
The Seven Human Kingdoms in the South do not have trade privileges in Stormwind City, and they can't easily crush the local Chamber of Commerce by taking advantage of tax incentives, so they have to use their brains to play some tricks.
So far, the first step has been very successful.
Despite the bustle on the road, when they came to the outside of the walls of Baisha City, there was not a single hawker or tent around the wide road. Obviously, the purpose of this was to give the defenders on the city walls an unhindered firing boundary.
"At least, the country hasn't completely lost its sense of crisis."
With this comment, White Steel rode into the city gate and passed through the four-lane thick wall made of white sandstone.
