"Poof. The lady beside Queen Catherine couldn't help but laugh.

A short envoy in a splendid costume tumbled down a dozen steps, his hands and feet short, his body short, but his head was large, he looked like a piece of wood, and he fell to the ground with a muffled clatter.

A few ministers couldn't help laughing, but thinking that this was the queen's council hall, they hurriedly endured the lord. From the moment this strangely dressed dwarf walked into the main hall, the originally solemn and somewhat oppressive atmosphere became a little funny.

"Are you alright?" The head of the Lutheran Chamber of Commerce, who was originally walking in front of Lord Porugan, hurriedly ran down the stairs and helped the envoy who had fallen to his nose and swollen face. It's just that because of the disparity in height, it looks like an adult is helping a child. So the scene that was originally a bit funny became even more funny. Even the Templar Knight, whose face had always been as calm as ice, couldn't help but smile.

The old face of the president of the Lutheran Chamber of Commerce turned red. Originally, he attached great importance to it and had some ambitions, but he didn't expect a big joke on the way to the palace. Many of the ministers and nobles around him who knew his thoughts smiled more ambiguously and comfortably.

The head of the chamber of commerce has always been a little concerned about his status. Erathia is economically prosperous and politically enlightened, and as the president of the chamber of commerce of the whole country, he leads the private merchants of the whole country, and the pursuit of gold coins is naturally of little significance. And even if you make a lot of money, you can even bribe officials and influence a lot of government decrees in many cases, but in the end, you are only a common person. This visit to the palace to meet Her Majesty the Queen is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Although it is not a good thing to come to discuss, as long as you can handle it appropriately and show extraordinary vision and talent in front of Her Majesty, you can handle it properly. Then it is very possible to be appreciated by Her Majesty the Queen, and become a nobleman with a knighthood. But I didn't think that as soon as I came in, I would be so ugly.

The envoy stood up with the help of the head of the chamber of commerce, but there was a bruise on his forehead, and a nosebleed rolled out of his huge nostrils. He hurriedly tore off the torn corner of his cloak and plugged his nostrils. The laughter in the hall became more pronounced, and one of the ministers turned and whispered to his companion, "I think it might be more appropriate to ask this man to be the court jester." ”

The chamber of commerce was sweating profusely, and hurriedly knelt down and said in a high voice: "Your Majesty, please allow me to lead the envoy to tidy up and groom before coming up......."

"No, that's it. Mr. Special Envoy probably won't mind. Her Majesty smiled. The thin and thin red lips are gently curled upward, and there is not much smile in the eyes under the long eyelashes, but there seems to be a bit of mysterious and ambiguous taste in it, like a mirage in the desert, which makes people trance-turned.

"Oh..... oh.. Be.. It's...."The head of the Chamber of Commerce only glanced at Her Majesty, and immediately nodded his head in a hurry. Immediately, it occurred to me that I should ask Mr. Special Envoy, and hurriedly lowered his head and asked, "Mr. Special Envoy....Do you want to...."

"No, that's it. Lord Porugan rubbed his face, straightened his hair, and continued his way to the main hall on the steps. The head of the chamber of commerce cautiously followed him this time, but fortunately he did not fall again. This time, the envoy lifted his cloak and walked upward, like a peasant woman walking through a puddle and lifting her skirt. This action drew a suppressed giggle.

Looking at the unkempt head dangling in front of him, the Lutheran Chamber of Commerce only felt as if his head had become bigger than this big head. The bird's nest-like hair was a hundred times more tenacious than originally expected, thick and stiff branches, and it was impossible to put on even the wig cover, which made the makeup artist suspect that it was a strange wig made of animal bristles. It took two large bottles of special hair oil on this head to create a slightly pleasing hairstyle, and now it immediately reverted back to the original or even more vicious shape after this fall. Coupled with the gorgeous clothes that were crumpled after wrestling, it was as embarrassing and funny as it was.

This is the royal palace of Erathia, the most magnificent palace in the Western Continent, on which sits the most powerful, capable and perhaps the most beautiful woman on the continent, and the heir to the greatest royal family. Listening to the laughter around him, and sweeping every expression that twitched because of the laughter, the Lutheran Chamber of Commerce did not dare to look at the queen again, he only felt that his head was empty, and he just wanted to moan. If it weren't for the fact that the disgraced dwarf was sent by Cedros, that Cedlos and Oufu were once and might be the greatest gods of wealth in the Erathia Chamber of Commerce, and that the five hundred gold coins he had just received and the one thousand gold coins promised afterwards, he would have bet that he would find a knife to kill the disgraced dwarf as soon as he walked out of the palace gate.

Climb a dozen steps up the red carpet steps, above which is the main hall of the Royal Palace of Erathia. The marble roof and walls, as well as dozens of huge marble columns, are meticulously carved in every place, and the whole structure is integrated into a magnificent and solemn structure. The wide space and the top of the hall more than ten meters high are even more magnificent, showing the grandeur of this centuries-old dynasty vividly. Sunlight reflects each other in the snow-white marble, illuminating the place as if it were outside. The walls are hung with each of the kings of the dynasty, and each portrait is lifelike, showing the spirit of these kings and blending them into the atmosphere of this hall.

However, the sum of these hundreds of kings is not as graceful as the person on the throne in the center, who can be admired awe-inspiringly. As soon as she sat there, the bearing and splendor of the entire hall were all gathered on her alone.

There may be a woman who can be more beautiful than her, more delicate than her complexion, better than her figure, and even more charming, dignified and holy than her in temperament, but there is no woman who can be more attractive than her.

Because she is the queen of the kingdom of Erathia.

Her gestures, words, smiles, and breathes, every slightest movement can express a woman's good-looking beauty, but also the majesty of the king, the freedom and relaxation of the wise, and the indifference and calmness of the sophisticated. These qualities blend together without distinction, and are naturally revealed through her exuberance. Perhaps other beautiful women could be described as a sculpture of gems or jade. But no one looking at her will feel like they are just looking at a beautiful thing, not even a woman. At the same time, there are other things that are more exciting and far more breathtaking than the charm of a woman.

The Creator could not have created such a woman, her charm was not only innate, but also condensed in countless worldly essences.

Next to her was the robed Cardinal of Erathia, Eschore. The bishop who presided over the largest diocese in the Western Continent did not smile, and he was the only one in the hall who did not show the slightest smile at the antics of the Offu envoy just now. The holy and awe-inspiring majesty and bearing of the clergy commensurate with his status contrasted with the charisma of Her Majesty the Queen.

Although Bishop Esquill was also involved in political affairs quite a few times, he did not have to worry about such matters as receiving foreign envoys, but this meeting with Ofort was of great significance. After all, the church was more hostile to the orc city than to Erathia.

Behind the Bishop stood a heroic female knight. Taller than ordinary men, a tight knight's armor shows off her slender and toned body, a dazzling blonde hair is a cold and ice-like expression, and the faint evil between her eyebrows makes her originally beautiful and handsome face look a little indistinguishable between men and women. It was the youngest of the nine Templars of the Church who had just come from the Celeste, the Mighty Continent.

All the ministers were side-by-side. This meeting with the Oufu envoy is of great importance. Although, in general, because of the attitude of the church, war is probably only a matter of time. However, there are still many people who still hold the view of peace, and even hope that the envoy of Oufu will come up with some way to turn things around and persuade Her Majesty the Bishop to restore trade relations between the two countries. After all, Oufu is also very beneficial to Erathia's economy, and no one wants to be unhappy with the golden gold coins.

Some were a little hostile and wary, others a little anticipation, each a little nervously waiting for the messenger from the orc's lair. But no one expected such a comical dwarf to come, which amused the vigilantes, and the expectants were inexplicably disappointed.

Lord Porugan and the President of the Lutheran Chamber of Commerce stepped forward to salute. The Lutheran Chamber of Commerce had just bowed to Queen Catherine, and before he could speak, Bishop Esquill next to him suddenly spoke. The deep voice was steady and grand in the main hall, like the majestic and inviolable taste of sacrificial music. "Your Majesty, this man is just a commoner. How could they come to the temple to discuss the affairs of the state, and I heard that when Oufu was established, these merchants also helped them a lot. ”

The head of the chamber of commerce's face immediately turned blue, and he cursed in his heart.

The Chamber of Commerce of Erathia had been secretly funding Ofu since the time of its establishment, and the merchants had always wanted a place for commerce to spread in the Wild Heights, and for the great convenience and protection that Cedros had promised to give them trade. This matter is quite secret, and I don't think Bishop Esquire knows about it.

But Her Majesty smiled slightly, and said, "That was all before, and they only did it to make more money, which is the duty of a businessman, and there is nothing wrong with that." Moreover, President Luther led the merchants of Erathia for many years, playing an important role in the country's economy and the flow of goods. I've always wanted to meet him, so I called him here today. And he knows the best about the situation of Oufu and is very helpful to us. ”

"Your Majesty. The Lutheran Chamber of Commerce was so grateful that he burst into tears almost immediately.

"Alright, let's talk about the recent misdeeds committed by the orcs of Orf. Her Majesty's eyes as clear as water and as bright as a sword fell on Lord Porugan's face. "Since Ou Fu asked you to come, it means that there must be something to say. ”

"Uhh "Your Majesty, that's all wronged. ”

Everyone was stunned. In any case, this should not behave as a person sent for diplomatic peace talks. Not only is this not the tongue lotus that everyone expected, but it is not even a clumsy tongue, it is completely like a child crying.

"Our Orcs are all kind-hearted people, and they will never act arbitrarily, these are all framed by someone. "Lord Porugan's big face was full of grief and indignation, and the meaning of pain.

Queen Catherine's surprise only flickered, and immediately she regained her calm demeanor, and said with a smile: "But everything is conclusively proven, and almost every incident has witnessed the atrocities of the orcs, can it still be said that it is unjust?"

"We don't know. In short, it's wronged. "Lord Porugan is like a prisoner who screams for grievance, and even such a scoundrel answer actually appears. The point is that his voice is indeed ugly, not much better than killing a pig, and it is simply blasphemy to sound in this magnificent and magnificent palace.

The ministers' expressions were a little unnatural. Where is this to negotiate, it's a bit out of place. The female knight behind the bishop frowned even more, and after a long stay in Celeste, she was accustomed to seeing pious and upright faces, and listening to prayers and singing, and she was indeed not very accustomed to such a vulgar image and voice.

"Her Majesty, please give us some time, and we will prove our sincerity. The dwarf continued to cry out pitifully, but this time he presented very convincing statistics. "As for the things that happened before, although someone deliberately framed them, we Oufu are still willing to compensate Erathia with a thousand gold coins, as a sign that we have absolutely no malicious intent. If Erathia is willing to resume trade relations with Orf, we will permanently waive all taxes on all merchants of Erathia, and provide them with all their food, lodging, and other expenses. ”

The ministers invariably erupted in a stir and tumult. Putting aside the ugly sounds and funny expressions, this is indeed a very powerful condition. A thousand gold coins is naturally not much for the treasury of a rich country like Erathia, but no one dares to say that it is a small amount. The key is that it can be seen that Ou Fu's sincerity is useless, and no one is willing to take thousands of gold coins out and throw them away for no reason.

And if all the merchants of Erathia were really exempted from all taxes, then Oufu would simply become a giant commercial post in Erathia on the wild highlands. From a long-term perspective, the series of benefits brought by this condition is simply not deliberately measured by specific gold coins.

Queen Catherine's thin eyebrows were slightly raised, as if she had thought for a moment, and then showed a smile that was still so ambiguous. But she didn't say anything directly, but turned her eyes to the ministers and said, "What do you think?"

"This condition is really worth considering and debatable...... "No one can decisively put forward the rejection of this condition." Although the ministers also knew that from the attitude of the Church there was little possibility of peace, no one would want war without gold coins, tempted by such obviously favorable conditions. Quite a few ministers began to say, "Maybe we can investigate the nonsense of the orcs in depth......"
