Chapter 104: Meet Mission 3
Ed was still reminiscing about the girl's amazing sword just now, no matter how he deduced, he could only reduce the damage he received at most, but he couldn't completely block one of his moves.
The people in the emissary team looked very arrogant, more pretentious than all the knights Ed had ever seen combined, and the usual orders were given to his squires, and few came to Ed directly.
The young man simply fell quiet, but the official of the entourage sent by the crown prince before found an opportunity to chat with him, and changed his previous disdain between words, and actually praised Ed.
"Hey, you don't know, how powerful this group is, where do they need any guards, we Roland, including a nearby country, are all from them on this cruise, and I haven't heard of anyone who can hurt anyone in the team after crossing such a long territory, and even an ordinary squire who is incapable has not been hurt. ”
Ed nodded, just with the presence of that girl, she could come and go without fear, maybe Howard was not as good as her, at least in terms of fast attack, Ed didn't think the Silver Knight could have an advantage.
Got the other party's approval, the official continued to talk eloquently, this way also suffocated him, according to the landing after leaving Ingier Island, it was to enter the Roland territory, and he should be in charge of the envoy and his party, but there is no way, who called this the actual occupied area of the Ingills, the annoying Ingier entourage also has deep hostility towards himself, and it is fortunate that he can survive this journey unharmed, and the thousand words buried in his heart finally have a confidant today.
"If you want me to say, sooner or later, the Inghirs will have to get out. There was also a knight who accompanied the official before, and it is said that he had a great reputation in their country, and he came from a big family. "Speaking of which. The diplomat was actually deliberately vague, where would he not know the identity of the other party, but he didn't agree with Ed in his heart, and he felt that this kid definitely didn't know if he said it, so he passed by.
"Don't you see, with the knight's support, how spirited this Ingir is. Speaking of a set of words, there are obviously people who ask for these associations, and they are still posing in front of them. Who knew that when I was about to vomit when I listened to it next to me, and everyone was impatient to listen to it, the adult just now suddenly made a move, just like today. There was no warning at all. ”
Immediately said the climax. The diplomat was foaming at the mouth, and Ed ducked his head back a little and continued to listen.
"Ah, just like that, when we come to our senses, the god-like Ingill knight will be hit, and the annoying Ingir next to him will turn white with fright, and the lord who will take the shot will withdraw his weapon. I also wiped the clothes on the other party's body, and I stretched out my head to take a look. Obediently, a small hole was pierced in the knight's heart, and the blood gushed out, and without a snort, the man fell, and then the noisy Ingir people trembled when they saw the adult who shot today, and they couldn't say anything, they really laughed at me! Haha!"
After listening to the other party for a long time, Ed finally got some useful information, this time the scale of the envoys of the two associations was only about fifty people, and most of the larger convoys behind were military supplies and money collected from various countries.
"What is the wealth of the nations?" Eddard asked, thinking that there should be several cartloads of tribute from one country alone.
"Ha, you knights don't understand, our country is remote, if you really want to transport war materials, grain and grass, gold coins or something, the freight alone will scare people to death, so the carriage behind is all the specialties of various countries, for example, the Ingier Empire handed over is the star concentrate that is abundant in their island country, after refining, you see, do you know how much it is worth to just slap a big piece?"
The official gestured, although he didn't understand psionic powers, but he had been working with the crown prince for a long time, and this diplomat was not too afraid of a little knight like Ed, and he wouldn't dare to sell it like this if he met a person in power at the level of the Grand Duke.
Ed shook his head, he now lacks a lot of knowledge except for the little thing he has learned recently about fighting.
"Let me tell you this, a hereditary title and the corresponding territory can't be exchanged for such a large refining star essence, no matter who takes this thing and presents it to our crown prince, he can immediately get everything he wants, reputation, identity, and a family ...... that can be passed on."
As he spoke, the official was a little caught up in his own imagination, which seemed to be the dream of an ordinary person like him, but Ed had no interest in it.
"Then what will our Roland Kingdom contribute? We don't have much of this kind of ore in our country. ”
It is true that the Star Spirit Stone is necessary to build knight equipment, but in Roland, the reserves are very low, and the knights around Ed will sometimes bet on weapons mixed with Star Spirits, and the two sides always think carefully, for fear of losing a rare weapon, but it is extremely desirable to get an extra piece of equipment.
"Well, what?" waking up from the obscenity, the official was stunned for a moment before answering, "You really asked the right person about this, and the others may not know, do you know the ice, fire, stone, and wine?"
Seeing the other party's mysterious appearance, Ed simply pretended to be the end, shook his head obediently, and waited for his next step.
The official pretended to look left and right, and whispered: "I'll tell you, don't leak the secret to others, it's a kind of wine that can only be enjoyed by high-level psionic people, and the people on the northern front like it very much, let's send a cart of puree that is not checked and unmixed, this year's military expenses are all counted, hey, I really don't know what is good about this wine, can it be compared with the ore used to build weapons, no wonder the north can't win, it's strange that those drunkards can make things happen!"
Maybe he felt that what he said was too presumptuous, and seeing the slight change in the young man's face, the Roland official, who was observant, immediately added: "Of course, His Excellency Knight Ed is different from them, this time he can draw with the people of the Knight Association, and he must be a hero who can end the Northern War in the future, if you and the commander Ms. Delia are here, the alien race in the north will not be captured!"
Ed squeezed out a smile and signaled that he was not angry, which made the diplomat's heart feel relieved, in fact, the boy had just thought of something else.
The official was secretly angry with himself, obviously the opposite side was a knight, and he still said bad things about knights in front of him, what happened to him today, and he was busy retiring.
Looking at the back of the other party leaving, Ed slowly withdrew the power of the star spirit that was invisibly released by himself, and the aura on his body that made people feel doubly cordial gradually disappeared. (To be continued......)
