Episode 52 Fia's visit
Linda leaned back on a rattan chair wrapped in some unknown sea animal skin, and on the table next to it were several sea fruits unique to the Fish-Man Country, and the smell of the smell made the whole room feel fresh. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 He looked at the harbor in the distance, and on the surface he seemed to enjoy the comfort, but on the inside he felt a little restless.
Three days ago, King Kalai sent someone to inform him of the decision of the Fish-Man Nation Council of Elders, and the outcome of the meeting disappointed him. Although after some persuasion from King Kalai, many members of the Presbyterian Church were in favor of establishing an alliance with the Blue New Kingdom, and in the final vote, there were only half of those who voted for and those against, but the most critical centrist abstained in the end, so this major decision that would determine the future of the Fish-Man Kingdom was not passed.
Thinking that he had come with a difficult mission, but touched a nose of ashes, Linda's heart felt an indescribable irritability, and he wanted to fly out of the house immediately and raze the entire capital to the ground with great mana. Of course, this was just a complaint in his heart, and he didn't really plan to do it.
In fact, Linda was more worried about the situation in Kopu Country, a graceful figure appeared in his mind from time to time, which haunted him, and he couldn't let go of it no matter what. It has been more than a month since he left the country of Koura, although the white department has received the assistance of the blue new country and temporarily withstood the attack of the royal department, but this is not temporary, Lai Xima may launch a new large-scale offensive against the white department at any time, and if the reinforcements are not received in time, the white department will never be able to resist for too long.
Thinking of so much pressure on Bai Yu alone, Lin Da felt a sense of distress in his heart. Since he and Bai Yu met, they have been in love for a long time, and they have unconsciously developed strong feelings for each other, and they can't wait to immediately lead the army back to the country of Jiapu, protect the person they like in their arms, and block all the difficulties and pressures for her.
But Lynda is by no means frivolous, and although she is anxious, she still has to stay where she is and wait. According to the ancestral rules of the Elders of the Fish-Man Nation, if an agreement cannot be reached on a major matter, a vote will be held again after seven days. If the second vote is not passed, there will be no chance.
So, Lynda now has four days to wait slowly. He didn't waste this time, and had already mobilized the officers and soldiers who came together to launch a series of propaganda activities in the capital of the Fish-Man Country. The soldiers of the Blue New Kingdom set up a propaganda station in the most lively place in the city, distributing propaganda materials about the Blue New Country to the Fish-Folk people, displaying various industrial products and fruit specialties made by the Terran Continent and the Blue New Country, and the young, beautiful and eloquent female officers and soldiers enthusiastically introduced all aspects of the Blue New Kingdom and the Terran Continent to the Fish-Folk people. This unprecedented scene immediately attracted the interest of all the fish-people in the capital, and a large number of residents went to visit every day, and after receiving the information issued by Lan Xinguo, they pestered the female soldiers of Lan Xinguo to understand the situation, and they were full of strong curiosity about the unknown world.
Most of these people who are interested in Lan Xinguo are the younger generation of Fish-People, but there are still a considerable number of Fish-People who are hostile to Linda's propaganda activities. During the campaign, there were a number of nuisance-seeking incidents. Although under the secret protection of Princess Fia, these people who were hostile to Lan Xinguo did not cause any bad effects, Linda could also see that these damages were obviously caused by someone secretly operating behind the scenes.
For these people who are secretly destroying behind the scenes, Lin Da doesn't want to pursue it, after all, the contradiction between the fish-people and humans has been around for a long time, and it can't be resolved in a moment, and he can understand the behavior of these people. As long as they didn't make too many moves, Linda decided not to trouble them, otherwise with his strength far beyond the peak of the Dan Realm, he could completely go sideways in the Fish-Man Country.
Just as Linda was thinking about how to proceed next, an officer cautiously entered his room door and respectfully handed him a telegram sealed with mana, reporting: "Your Excellency Master Lin, we have received the latest telegram from Lan Xinguo, please take a look!"
Linda nodded and took the telegram. The soldiers of the Blue New Country who came with him this time were all the latest generation of the Blue Star Autonomous Regiment, and although Lin Da had a complete superior-subordinate relationship with them, he was not so polite.
After the officer left, Linda opened the telegram and read it quickly.
"Linda, the alliance is moving forward. If not, please return to Kopo as soon as possible, and our army will attack in two months. Kangnai. ”
Lin Da was slightly shocked in his heart, he didn't expect that the country would decide to take military action against the country of Jiapu so soon, it seems that Kang Nai and the others have completed the general mobilization of the war, and they are determined to fight a big battle to consolidate the security of the southern part of the blue new country.
At this time, there was another slight knock on the door, Lin Da swept it with his spiritual sense, and his face suddenly showed a surprised expression, and the hand holding the telegram suddenly ignited a flame, and the telegram was burned in an instant, and then he said: "Your Royal Highness, please come in!"
It turned out to be Princess Fia. She hadn't seen Linda since the last meeting, and she didn't expect to come alone this time, which made Linda feel a little surprised.
"Please be seated, Your Highness!" Linda smiled diplomatically, looked at the beautiful princess who was no less than white feathers, and maintained a gentlemanly posture, and asked, "Do you prefer tea, coffee, or juice?"
The soldiers on the side had already brought three drinks unique to Lan Xinguo and presented them to Fia. Looking at these three drinks of different colors, Princess Fia hesitated for a moment, raised the cup filled with juice, took a sip, and suddenly showed a surprised expression, and was reluctant to put it down, exclaiming: "Master Lin, what is this glass of water?! It is so delicious and wonderful! I have to admit that the things in your country are really quite charming!"
Lin Da smiled slightly and said: "This cup is a lychee-flavored juice, and we have dozens of different types of fruits in Lan Xinguo, each of which is very charming, but unfortunately I only brought a dozen of them this time." If Your Highness the Princess likes it, I will send some to your palace at once. ”
Fia chuckled lightly and said, "Master Linda is really thoughtful, it seems that you are really prepared to establish diplomatic relations with our country?"
Linda replied casually: "Your Royal Highness Princess, please call me by my name Linda directly! Treating friends with sincerity is the standard of our Blue Star people, if you have any requirements, just mention it to us." ”
When Fia heard this, she was stunned for a moment, her eyes lit up, and she suddenly smiled slyly: "Okay... In that case, then I will call you Linda in the future? It is really detrimental to your reputation that the dignified Lan Xinguo Grand Master is called like this by me, so it is better for you to call me by my name in the future, so that you will not suffer. Fia's expression was completely relaxed, and it was only at this moment that she completely regarded Lynda as a true friend.
Linda also relaxed, and asked, "Okay, Fia, you're not just here for a drink with me, is there?"
Fia nodded, vigilantly scanning around with her spiritual sense, for fear of being seen by others. Lin Da smiled slightly, and said, "Don't worry, I have already secretly set up a large isolation array near here, and no foreign spiritual sense can easily invade, even the eyeliner deployed nearby by the Feilin Commander will never know what we are talking about now, we can talk with confidence." ”
Fia listened, was silent for a moment, and sighed: "No way, it should be cautious, you know, I have been followed these days." ”
Lin Da raised her eyebrows and asked, "It's impossible, right? You're a princess, who is so bold as to dare to follow you secretly?"
Fia shook her head and said helplessly: "Alas... Who else? Patriarch Moody, of course. He is the biggest opposition in the country. Ever since he knew that I had resolutely supported the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Fish-Man Kingdom and your Blue New Kingdom in front of my father, he had been secretly staring at me, trying every means to undermine my support for you in order to force you away. The troubles in the first two days were all secretly instructed by him. ”
When Lin Da heard this, he was full of slander in his heart, and said helplessly: "But, why is he so hostile to us?
Fei Ya said: "Their older generation has a deep prejudice against foreigners, and they are extremely conservative and self-autistic, they can't allow foreigners to step into the country of fishmen, and they don't want their own people to go out, and it is normal to oppose the establishment of diplomatic relations with you." But he is also a poor man, ten years ago, one of his very important juniors died at the hands of the Terran demon hunting team, which is why he hates the Terrans so much. ”
When Linda heard this, her hostility towards Patriarch Moody suddenly decreased a lot, after all, humans do have many places to be sorry for the Fish-Man Country. But Fia's next words gave him a new perspective on Moody.
"However, Patriarch Moody may have other plans for this. He could take the opportunity to unite all the opposition in the country and use this to test the pressure of his father. Now my father's body is not getting worse day by day, and he has long been unable to suppress other forces in the country. It is not surprising that the Moody patriarch is highly cultivated, and although he is not young, he is full of energy, and he has some ideas about power. Even many people in China have long proposed that he should be the next king, and in recent years, this opinion has been supported by more and more people. ”
Linda was surprised: "So that's the case, no wonder he behaved like this in front of His Majesty that day." Are you telling me this now because you feel that Moody has threatened your succession and is planning to do something to him?"
Sonia shook her head suddenly, and hurriedly said, "No, no, no! I was worried that Patriarch Moody's side was too powerful and threatened my succession to the throne. However, it is not so easy for him to be a king, there is a set of methods for the creation of the throne, and there has only been one time in the past thousand years when the throne has a different surname, and he will never succeed so easily. ”
When Lin Da heard this, he put his mind at ease and said, "However, if you need my or Lan Xinguo's help, just ask for it, and we will definitely do our best." ”
Sonya's eyes lit up, and she immediately said, "Yes, I came this time to discuss this matter with you. Whether or not the Council of Elders agrees to the establishment of diplomatic relations between our two countries, I myself have decided to help you with my own private force by sending my Young Guards to your country to support your war against Lesima!"
"What, Young Guards?" said Linda, surprised.
"Yes, this army was secretly formed by my father ten years ago. He secretly gathered the younger generation of people in the country who shared my ambitions and formed my personal guard to expand my personal power. Although there were only more than 2,000 people in this corps, all of them were elite and strong generals, and they were loyal to me. They are extremely disgusted with the conservative and closed thinking of the older generation, and they also hope to get out of the sea of fish people, explore and learn from the outside world, and make the country of fish people stronger. I hope that they can be trained through battle, improve their overall combat effectiveness, and grow up as soon as possible, which can also provide me with strong help for my smooth succession to the throne in the future. ”
Linda didn't expect Sonia to put forward such a condition, let alone that she would be prepared, but he was happy to accept such a request, and immediately agreed happily: "Okay! Since Your Royal Highness the Princess regards me as a friend, our Lan Xinguo will definitely fully support you! Rest assured, we will give all the help you can to your Youth Self-Defense Corps, and make this Corps your strongest support!"
Looking at Linda's sincere gaze, Sonia smiled knowingly, and at this moment, she finally completely relieved herself. The two quietly discussed for a long time, making various plans for future cooperation and action. No one would have thought that today's conversation between the two would affect and change the history of the Fish-Man Kingdom and the Blue Star Kingdom.
