When the envoy of the Oster Leader stood in front of the remains of the ice dragon, the exaggeration of his expression made everyone laugh.

"This is the Frost Dragon?"

The messenger trembled and touched the scales of the ice dragon with his hand, even though he was dead, the shock of the ice dragon's remains was still incomparable. The closed eye alone was more than half a man tall. Several sharp dragon teeth protruded from the dragon's mouth, and there were traces of blood remaining on them. It seems to tell the ferocity and blood of its past.

"To be exact, it's just an ice dragon, not a giant dragon. ”

Rod replied with a smile. He reached out to stroke the dragonskin, and the Imperial Emissary wanted to follow suit, but as soon as his finger touched the dragonskin, he quickly retracted it.

"Why is it so icy?"

The messenger asked.

"Normal. The Frost Dragon has a cold constitution, and even if it dies, the cold still remains in its body. All weapons crafted from the remains of the Frost Dragon also have the Chill attribute. ”

Rod returned with a smile. In fact, this knowledge was also told to him by the dwarves not long ago, and although Rhodes knew some, he was not omnipotent. Some knowledge and reality do not match at all......

"Breathtaking. ”

The messenger let out a heartfelt exclamation as he walked around the remains of the ice dragon.

"I wonder what the lord plans to do with this corpse?"

Finally, the little envoy from the Imperial Oster Territory couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Everything that can be recycled is recycled. The rest, burned with a fire. ”

Rod replied succinctly.

"That would be an astronomical fortune. ”

The messenger touted. Rod only felt funny on the side, this guy went from being arrogant at the beginning to flattering now, and the change in attitude took less than ten minutes.

"Astronomical? Hehe, no. ”

Rhodes politely said-

"But for me, wealth is important, but the symbolism of this dragon is even more important. Your Excellency, did you know that before that, the northern Frontier of Kislev was plagued by rumors of the arrival of the Behemoth. Now, as long as there are the remains of this ice dragon, the panic of the people can be alleviated, which is what I value the most. In fact, the value of the ice dragon cannot be measured by wealth alone, and when there are enough men, I will have the dragon head hung up and placed at the gate of the town to deter all the northern Norskas. Let them know that the town is inviolable. These are the values that I value the most. ”

"Of course, Lord Rhodes, your gaze is deeper and farther than ordinary people. ”

The messenger flattered. Of course, there are some words that Rhodes did not finish to him, the remains of the ice dragon will be dismembered and dismembered, and sent back to Erengrad and Black Hammer Castle in multiple pieces, and the largest of the dragon teeth will be sent to the northern Dulong City, where they will be processed by dwarven rune craftsmen, fused with the family sword, and cast into a dragon tooth sword to deter the northern barbarians. And for a strange foreign envoy, there is really no need to say too much.

"To get back to the point, when are you going to leave?"

Rhodes asked, and before the messenger could reply, he continued—

"My opinion is to leave today. ”

"No matter how credible the Wood Elf is, as long as there is a possibility that this is the case, you must pay attention. As an ally of Kislev, I do not want to see the great empire invaded and plundered by any barbaric forces. If that happens, it will bring chaos and blood to the thriving empire. ”

"Please rest assured, my lord, I have come here for this purpose, and I will bring the Praetorian Guards on board today. ”

The messenger replied respectfully.

"As soon as possible, the news will reach Aldolph sooner, and many more innocent civilians can be saved. "Slightly

Rhodes said.

"One more thing. ”

The messenger looked at Rhodes and said seriously.

"What's the matter?"

"I have come this time on the orders of Grand Lord Maximian, and I have invited you, Lord Rhodes, to go to Wolfenburg to meet with him. ”

"Hehe, don't be kidding, I'm a lord, not a wandering poet or a knight, what are you going to do in your territory? ”

Rod replied with a smile.

"Dear Lord, I'm not joking with you, in fact, my first mission here this time is to escort the Wood Elves and Rick's Praetorian Guards back to the Imperial Capital, and the other thing is to send you an invitation on the orders of Lord Maximian, hoping that Your Lord can meet in Wolfenburg. Grand Lord Maximian has already given instructions on the construction of the Great Wall, and Commander Oster will send an engineering team and some materials to support the construction of the Great Wall. And the follow-up cooperation, you need to go to Wolfenburg in person to communicate with the Great Lord himself. ”

The Imperial Emissary said with a serious expression. Moreover, such a thing is absolutely impossible to joke, Osterling borders Kislev, Maximian had come to Kislev to talk to him about trade cooperation, and now, the Elector of the Empire had agreed to support the construction of the Great Wall, which surprised Rhodes a little. However, the envoy's words were not finished, and Rhodes guessed that things must not be so simple, even if Maximian was a person who understood righteousness, but as a lord, it was impossible for him to unconditionally support foreign countries to build city walls. Not to mention the cost of money and energy, there was no effect at all in the short term, and he could not explain to his own people and local nobles.

......

"Great Lord, news from the North. ”

After the messenger left, the knight Sibes came to Rhodes with a letterhead.

"Open, read. ”

Rhodes said.

"Yes, sir. ”

Sibeth slowly opened the letterhead and read the words on it—

"Honorable Lord of Blackhammer Keep, Great Lord of the North, Grand Duke of Errengrad, Guardian ......"

"Alright, read the point. ”

Rod interrupted the knight's reading.

"The main road connecting Fort Black Hammer to Errengrad has been repaired and the drainage system has been completed simultaneously. Vodka production in Heidelberg has declined, but cultivation has been carried out in an orderly manner. The news of the Frost Dragon's death has spread among the people of the North, and the people are no longer panicking, and the Great Wall workers have returned in an orderly manner. ”

Sibes read.

Rod breathed a sigh of relief. Over the years, nine out of ten pieces of news from the North have been bad news. Now, the civil war in Kislev has just ended, and it is time to recuperate, and if anything happens, it will be unbearable. As for the decline in production at the Heidelberg brewery, it is not surprising that the raw material of vodka is potatoes, and the war has left a lot of land deserted, and there is no harvest without raw materials, and it is natural that the production will decline. Cereal agriculture is the foundation, and there is no big problem with stability in this regard.

"Okay, I got it. ”

Rhodes said.

"Grand Lord, are we really going to Wolfenburg?"

Sibeth put away the letterhead and asked curiously. When he saw the busy workers on the remaining docks, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart.

"Yes. We set off with them. Maximian promised to support us in the construction of the Great Wall, which would be a good thing for the North, for Erengrad, and for Kislev, and it would ease the financial burden. So, we're going to take a trip. ”

Rod replied calmly.
