Chapter 68 Trading
As the words of the chief guard fell, the guards surrounding the pigeons dispersed.
Luna glanced at the head of the guard, then looked up at the terrace overhead, and moved forward with her head hanging down.
"Crossbow. As he passed by the chief of the guard, he suddenly spoke.
Hearing this, Luna paused, raised her head and blinked her eyes, meeting the pale brown eyes of the chief of the guard, who had no trace of emotion, and silently bared her teeth in her heart, "Give it to her." ”
With Luna's order, she was already holding the crossbow, and she didn't know how to be a good Liya, as if the crossbow was hot, and quickly threw it over.
The captain of the guard took the crossbow with unmistakable accuracy, handed it to the guard beside him, and then took a step, passed Luna, slowed down half a step behind the pigeon, and walked towards the castle.
The moment he entered the castle hall, Calombo took on a human form.
He is not very tall, according to Luna's eyesight, he is between 1.6 and 1.7 meters, with pure white hair and a small hair, although he can't see his appearance, but his exposed skin is very fair.
The most interesting thing is that this pigeon turned into a human form, barefoot, and the leg was originally tied with a letter box, which instantly fit his changed leg shape, so that the letter fit perfectly on the calf.
Looking at Calumbo's outfit, he wore a white hip-length tunic at the top, which was very flowy, and the bottom was a pair of large trousers of the same color like beach pants......
Tsk, there's a lack of flip-flops.
Luna muttered to herself.
In the study, looking at his daughter who walked in after the envoy of the Yu Kingdom, Silas and the chief of the guard glanced at each other, and then pointed to the lounge with the door open on the side and said:
"Go inside and wait. ”
Luna looked up, at the back of Carrumbo's head, then at her father's face, sighed, and walked in again.
"Shut the door!" Silas twitched at his daughter as she stood in the break room looking at her daughter.
Luna pursed her lips and obediently closed the door with her mouth.
Looking at the crack in the door that still remained, Silas grinded his teeth, glanced apologetically at Calombo, who was standing honestly with his head down, stood up, and strode to the door of the lounge.
"Bang !!"
Looking at the door that had been completely closed by her father in front of her, Luna instantly looked fierce, bared her teeth viciously at the door, and then put her ear to the door.
Merely......
"Whoa...... Meow ...... Purr, ......"
What the hell is this?!
Luna listened and listened, but still confused, for the first time in her life, she realized the importance of learning a foreign language.
Outside, watching the small shadow under the crack in the door disappear, the corners of Silas's mouth finally curved slightly, and he continued to talk to Calombo in Esperanto.
"I don't know, is there something important that the Eagle King sent an envoy here?"
"This is my king's letter, and I ask the wolf king to read it first. Pulling the letter from the letter box on his lap, Calumbo lowered his eyelids and held it in both hands to Silas' desk.
Looking at the boxy letter sealed with fire paint, Silas had some doubts in his heart, the letter of state is usually rolled into a cylinder, and it is obvious that the letter in front of him is not a letter of state.
With a hint of puzzlement, Silas opened the letter, read it little by little, and after a while, he raised his head, shook the letter in his hand, frowned at Calombo, and asked:
"So, what does the Eagle King want me to help with?"
"What my king means is that I hope the wolf king can help me and send Prince Manta back to China. ”
"As far as I know, there has never been a prince in the Feather Country......" Silas leaned back in his chair with a sad expression, "Since it is only the traveling merchant Manta who has entered the territory of my Snow Wolf Country, on what reason should I drive him out?"
"Whether it's a prince or a traveling merchant. Presumably, the wolf king should know that according to the rules of our royal family, only one can survive, regardless of male or female in the past generations. I'm just here to say hello to you on behalf of the king and make a deal with you by the way. ”
"Oh?" as Calambo's voice fell, a dark glint crossed Silas's eyes.
"I wonder if the emissary of the Central Empire has arrived?" Calombo, who had been hanging his head, suddenly raised his head and looked at Silas, revealing a handsome face that was difficult to distinguish between male and female, but the innocent color in his eyes disappeared completely, replaced by a deep pool that could not be seen.
"It's indeed here. Silas' eyes darkened, but he nodded.
"According to the secret report obtained by our country, the Central Empire's request for tribute on this trip is fake, and it is true that you are here for your little princess, and this is also the first time that the new queen mother and regent of the Central Empire have reached an agreement on one thing for the first time since the new emperor ascended the throne for half a year. As he spoke, Calombo glanced in the direction of the lounge.
"How can I be sure you're telling the truth?" Silas didn't care much on his face, but his heart couldn't help but sink.
"This is a secret report from our country, and it is also the sincerity and gratitude of my king. It's just a messenger, whether you want to believe it or not, Prince Manta will eventually be buried in our royal tomb. Calombo had a hint of embarrassment on his face.
"The last place Manta was seen was on Hawk Street, and you can do it cheaply without harming our innocent civilians, but ......," Silas stared at Calumbo for a pause before continuing, "Manta must not die in our country. ”
"Obey the king's commandment. I will take my leave in advance. Oh, by the way, I wonder if I can stay at the embassy for a few days?" asked Calumbo, looking at Silas as he looked innocent again.
"If you don't rush back to your life, you can. Silas looked speechlessly at the pigeon in front of him with a "If you refuse me, I will be ruthless" and waved his hand.
He really didn't want to look at this snake-like pigeon now.
After Calombo walked for a long time and could no longer hear the outside talking, Luna finally began to scratch the door unwillingly.
Silas sighed, got up again, and opened the door to let her daughter out.
"Father, where's the pigeon?" asked Luna, looking around and not seeing the fat pigeon.
"Gone. Don't be curious about that pigeon. Sometimes orcs that seem harmless are deadly. Silas turned to the couch and beckoned to Luna, "Here, Father has something to tell you." ”
Although Luna didn't understand why her father said this, she also understood, and she was afraid that the two of them had just said something, so she silently wrote down his words.
Then, he leaned over, next to Silas's legs, sat down, looked up at his father, who seemed to be preoccupied, and said, "You say." ”
"Listen to your mother, do you think someone is staring at you lately?"
Luna instinctively pricked up her ears and nodded, earnestly.
"Then can you tell my father how he found out?"
"Uh...... It's just that it feels weird to be stared at!" Luna said after a long pause.
