Chapter 130—The King Sees the King (II)

Fiona and Margaret looked at each other like two proud, hostile and wary peacocks.

The atmosphere on the field was tense, and the needles could be heard, which formed a sharp contrast with the scene of the salute and the great performance of the salute just now.

It may seem like two powerful women trying to overpower each other, but in fact, Fiona's actions represent the subconscious mindset of all Mozambique magicians.

The Countess has come on behalf of the Pound Empire, which has just broken into their homeland like a vicious band of robbers, trying to plunder their treasures and turn them into slaves!

But now, finding that they could not rule and enslave these magicians, they replaced their swords with olive branches, and transformed themselves from ruthless falcons to benevolent white doves!

In this war, the empire suffered heavy losses, and Mozambique was even more so.

The Magic Legion was crippled by four, and more than 1,000 people were killed, which was the heaviest casualty since the creation of the Magic Legion, and what made Mozambique even more unbearable was the loss of wealth caused by the burning and looting of the Nagas and Kadra pirates in the city.

According to the conservative estimates of Tang Jie, Barbaria and others, Mo Sanbik lost at least nearly 100 million gold coins because of this war!

In terms of manpower, one of Mozambic's magic legions was killed by one, and in terms of material resources, the huge economic losses made it take at least a year for Mozambique to recover.

The number of mages living in Mozambique City is even more numerous, and in other places, as the number of mages killed in battle, it is a shocking number!

With such heavy casualties, the magicians of Mozambique naturally did not have any good looks at the Countess and the Pound Empire she represented, but under the control of reason, although these magicians with high eyes did not blame and reprimand the Countess, but gave her a little embarrassment on their faces, which was still possible and reasonable.

But for Margaret, it was inevitable that she would put on a show.

The magicians of the Magic Capital have their pride, but what about the countess of the Kelsman family?

Not only for herself, for her family, but also for the dignity of the empire, Margaret will inevitably put up a full shelf, and, in her opinion, the emperor asked her to negotiate, but he didn't give her a specific official position!

What does it mean that there is no specific official position, negotiating on behalf of the emperor on behalf of the empire?

This means that this is an informal, unofficial, private negotiation!

Once the talks collapse in the future, His Majesty the Emperor can also say that it is Margaret's responsibility, and it has nothing to do with the empire, and continue to dissociate himself.

What's more, Margaret is not optimistic about this negotiation in private, and what she prefers to do is to take a closer look at the pirate named Tang Jie to see what this guy looks like, how many arms and heads he has, and how many bones can he overturn the layout of Kriza XVI?

Of course, holding off the pirate as much as possible, blocking any news from Sisis and allowing him to return to Sisis later, this is what Margaret is second willing to do.

Seeing that Fiona and Margaret were like two peacocks with the screen open, looking at each other, and each other had no intention of backing down, the atmosphere of the scene was as calm as a solidified fossil, and Barbaria and the others, who were originally holding the excitement of watching, couldn't help but shed a cold sweat on their backs.

Stuck here like this, staring at each other with big eyes, what's the matter?

Barbaria couldn't help but wink at Tang Jie: "What should I do?"

Tang Jie was also a little dumbfounded, he looked at the two more energetic women, couldn't help but smile bitterly, his brain was flying, and he said in a low voice: "Play music!"

Barbaria reacted, and immediately turned around and whispered to the stunned honor guard not far away: "Quick, play music!"

Only then did these honor guards react, and the loud trumpets sounded again.

Although Tang Jie didn't understand their so-called official etiquette and aristocratic etiquette, it was really ridiculous to see this welcome music played twice in a row.

But fortunately, as soon as the music sounded, Fiona and Margaret realized that such a stalemate between the two sides would only make people laugh, and the two women looked at each other and smiled faintly, and then slowly approached, accompanied by their entourage.

The next thing is very procedural, Tang Jie just wants to yawn when he looks at it from the side, if it weren't for Fiona and Margaret, the two beautiful women standing together, it is really eye-catching, Tang Jie, who is exhausted by tedious things, is likely to fall asleep standing up.

However, in response to the Countess's dismount when she landed on the shore, Fiona secretly cast a spell, only to see that every step she took, the footprints behind her would ignite a bright flame, this flame blinked in the blink of an eye, burning, until half a person high, but it could not burn Fiona's magic robe, and it could not burn half of her hair.

At a glance, the Magic Queen Fiona stepped on the flames, and the roaring fire illuminated her pure white jade porcelain face with a terrifying red!

The magician who knew the goods immediately cheered loudly, applause was like thunder, and the entire port was boiling in an instant.

This is a fifth-level magic scarlet that almost all the magicians present here can cast, but like Fiona, she is quiet, does not recite the instantaneous spell, and uses powerful magic to protect herself from the flames while releasing magic, this kind of difficulty, this realm of extraordinary control over magic, is no less than Mavkar using the realm to force back the rainstorm!

Although Margaret does not know magic, she is also well-informed, and although there is still a smile in the corner of her eye, a trace of shock still flashes in her eye.

She glanced at Karl quickly from the corner of her eye, and saw that this powerful man who could be counted in the world also looked awe-inspiring!

The Queen of Magic lives up to her name!

The two women politely saluted each other in the most official terms, and then exchanged gifts for each of the rare treasures.

Tang Jie looked at it from the side and felt very ridiculous, the interest groups represented by these two women were eager to beat each other into the abyss, but they had to be polite and hypocritical for various reasons.

After Fiona and Margaret's polite exchanges, the two sides began to introduce each other's important retinues.

For example, Margaret solemnly introduced one of her closest maids and an accompanying imperial official, but Margaret did not introduce Mavkar, who was like a shadow behind her.

Fiona's bright eyes glanced at Carl with a curious and cautious look in her eyes, and then began to introduce the important people in Mozambique.

I can't stop talking about it.

Mozambique has gathered a large number of magicians, and these magicians will not be used in any country when they go out, and Fiona solemnly introduced the highly qualified elders of the Supreme Magic Council.

For example, Barbaria, who has risen to the rank of Second Elder of the Supreme Council of Magic, and Gilgico, a Mozambique upstart who is trusted by Fiona in the Eleventh Legion......

As for Tang Jie, Fiona originally wanted to be the first to introduce him in the official etiquette, but Tang Jie immediately rejected the proposal.

He didn't want to be in the limelight.

The so-called tree attracts the wind, the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. A thief like him who takes advantage of the chaos, it is better to keep a low profile as much as possible, in Mozambique, he controls the real power, that is because he is Fiona's savior, and has made outstanding contributions to saving Mozambique, although the arrogant magicians disdain Tang Jie's pirate identity, but for the sake of these two points, they pinched their noses and recognized Tang Jie's behavior in Mozambique.

But once Fiona publicly introduced Tang Jie's words to Margaret, it was tantamount to telling the world: Hey, the great capital of magic was saved by a pirate, all the magicians here were saved by a pirate, and the emperor of the empire, the invincible Chryza XVI, was actually defeated at the hands of a pirate!

This is not just a slap in the face of all the magicians of Mozambique, but also a slap in the face of the Emperor.

Although Tang Jie's sideways attack led to the current situation, the magicians of Mozambique and Kriza XVI, including Tang Jie himself, did not want to make this matter public.

Because although this can bring Tang Jie fame, it will also set up countless potential strong enemies for him.

After Fiona had introduced the elders of the Supreme Magic Council, the important administrators of Mozambique, and the Legion Captain, she was about to turn around and return to the palace of the Supreme Council of Magic with Margaret.

At this time, Margaret suddenly smiled and asked, "Dear Fiona, it seems that you still have someone you haven't introduced?"

Fiona was stunned for a moment: "Dear Countess, as you can see, the honorable gentlemen and ladies here have already met with you. ”

"Oh, is it?". Margaret's voice sounded soft and moving, and her eyes drifted in Tang Jie's direction, "Then, what about him?"

Tang Jie looked at Margaret's eyes, and immediately felt that the eyes of the magicians around him were like sharp swords, stabbing at him layer by layer!

This poisonous woman!

She wants to roast me on the fire!!

Tang Jie understood the meaning of Margaret's words in the blink of an eye, and he understood even more that this bewitching, **** charming beauty was really a femme fatale with a poisonous hook behind her.

Fiona didn't expect Margaret to ignore the dignity of the emperor and the face of the empire, and force Tang Jie to a position pointed out by a thousand people!

Fiona is stunned!

Let her restrain her hostility, and be polite with the hypocritical courtesy of this woman, she can do it, because women are born liars.

Fiona really couldn't do it, and if she could, she wouldn't be under house arrest in the White Tower.

I knew I shouldn't have come!

Tang Jie suddenly regretted it, if it weren't for his curiosity to know what this world-famous countess looked like, if it weren't for his concern about whether Fiona would have any trouble on such an occasion, he wouldn't have come here.

Tang Jie had no choice but to curse in his heart, stepped forward with a smile on his face, walked up to Margaret, bent down, helped the Countess Qianqian's hand, and kissed it gently: "Dear Madam, I am the Tang Jie you want to see!"
