Chapter 309: The Bantu Clan Goes South
Cold?
Hearing the third prince mention this, Lu Chengfeng was stunned at first, and then came back to his senses. That's right, the first snow in Kaiyang this year seems to have come very early. At this time last year, Kaiyang seemed to be still high and crisp in autumn, and the sun was shining. Not to mention the snow, even after another two months, I still haven't seen half a snowflake.
From this point of view, the second guess of the third prince is also very likely.
The climate of the Bantu people may be relatively cold throughout this year, and they have no income at all. Hunting and smuggling of food alone are not enough to support consumption. In case of any more accidents, in order to survive, they can only climb over the snow-capped mountains and go south to rob the empire!
The reason why Lu Chengfeng didn't expect this was because he was not from Kaiyang, or even a resident of the Lanwu Empire. It's just that I lived here for a year after being reborn, so I'm not so sensitive to climate change.
"I understand the mission. ”
Lu Chengfeng thought for a moment and nodded slowly. However, he did not immediately give a definite answer, but first asked: "Since the royal family also has arguments, then they must also send someone over to confirm, right?"
The third prince affirmed his problem, but there was some helplessness on his face: "The snowy region of Ston is too far away, and it is really bitter cold for ten thousand years." Moreover, those Bantu people were very xenophobic and had always been unfriendly to the Empire. The mission sent a few decades ago has been bitter ever since. Most of the nobles in the empire who have a background are unwilling to endure hardship. Those who are willing to go are either not capable enough or not strong enough to make the right decisions on behalf of the Empire. ”
In other words, the three princes are not at ease with the selection of the empire!
He didn't say this directly, but looking at Lu Chengfeng's expectant eyes, he clearly conveyed this meaning: Brother can trust you, go to the snowy region of Ston.
Of course, this trust does not come in vain. First of all, he made a previous trip to the Fallen Spirit Clan, although Lu Chengfeng and the Seventh Princess failed to return to the sky in the end, but the outstanding performance along the way, the three princes all listened to the Seventh Princess. Later, in the battle to eradicate the Blue Wolf Gang, the henchmen of the third prince inquired about the details and knew the whole process well. The recent outstanding development of the Tianguang Mercenary Group has proved that Lu Chengfeng's personal ability is extraordinary.
has proved himself several times, and the third prince will first think of Lu Chengfeng when he is in trouble.
Of course, it is not ruled out that he wants to take this opportunity to further observe and win over Lu Chengfeng. After all, in the eyes of the three princes, Lu Chengfeng has the support of the Liu family behind him, the connections of the ten giants of the Heavenly Apocalypse Sect, and the support of a saint-level master. Such a genius master, so young, is definitely worth any capital investment!
"It's not impossible to go for a trip and help His Royal Highness share his worries......"
Under the gaze of the third prince, Lu Chengfeng first gave a positive answer, but then there was no follow-up.
If you want to invite Lu Chengfeng to come out, of course, it is impossible to go without a price. The third prince knew this very well, and he was also very good, and said directly: "Is there any difficulty in Mr. Lu? ”
Lu Chengfeng didn't put forward any conditions very cheesily, but asked about the matter itself first: "After arriving in the snowy region of Ston, if it is found out that the Bantu clan is indeed colluding with the fallen spirit clan, this will naturally go without saying." But if there's no collusion, it's just that they want to take advantage of it, or maybe there's something else going on, then what should I do?"
The third prince pondered for a moment and replied, "If the matter is not urgent, and the situation can be reversed, you can find my person in the northern defense line and entrust him to send the news back immediately." If you are in a hurry...... If you can persuade the Bantu to abandon the invasion, you can talk to them in my name, but it's better not to talk too hard. ”
Lu Chengfeng understood his bottom line, nodded and said, "In short, it is to stabilize the situation as much as possible." ”
The third prince clapped his hands and said in agreement: "That's right, of course, their conditions can't be excessive, and they can't make His Majesty the Emperor feel that I have overstepped my power." This degree is up to you. ”
He said it very easily, but after listening to the whole request, Lu Chengfeng knew that the difficulty of this job was indeed not low.
The Bantu people are already more xenophobic, and if you want to be recognized by them, you must first show enough bravery. The fist is not big enough, the Bantu people don't take you seriously at all, and the amount of alcohol is also a very important factor. Even if the above conditions are met, at such a critical juncture, whether we can get accurate information from Bantu and stabilize them will have to put a big question mark.
This trip is no less difficult than going to the royal city of the fallen spirit clan!
Relying on his own strength, as well as the Flame Bead that can be used once, Lu Chengfeng is confident to take a trip. It's just that this mission, what should I ask for in return?
The Yin Yang Breaking Spirit Pill that broke through the seventh order has already been used yet, and as for the exercises, he already has the strongest one, and there is no shortage of sword skills, so it's really a headache.
As if sensing his embarrassment, the third prince smiled and took the initiative to speak: "I heard that Mr. Lu has a golden-winged thunder eagle war pet?"
Although not many people know, Lu Chengfeng has not deliberately hidden. He nodded and happily admitted, "It is indeed a golden-winged thunder eagle. ”
Seeing that Lu Chengfeng did not deny it, the third prince threw out the bait that he had prepared a long time ago: "Golden-winged Thunder Eagle, when fully grown, it is a ninth-order demonic beast, with a powerful thunder and lightning attack. However, yours is only in the growth stage now, and my strength is probably not even the fifth order. It will take a long time to grow up to be able to stand on its own, and there are many uncertainties in between. Didn't Mr. Lu think of any way to speed up its growth?"
The words of the third prince made Lu Chengfeng's eyes light up, and he asked: "So, is there a way for His Royal Highness the prince?"
"The military of the empire has a special institution for raising war pets, so naturally there is a way to deal with it. The third prince patiently explained: "As far as I know, if the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle wants to grow quickly, the best way is to devour the high-quality thunder demon core of the same origin. In addition, a specific elixir can also catalyze the speed at which it grows. Maybe it only takes a few months, and you can make your Golden-Winged Thunder Eagle break through to the sixth order steadily, not only to help in battle, but also to carry people to do long-distance flights. ”
After finishing the explanation, he finally added: "Mr. Lu, even if you let go of this trip, after you triumph, whether it is the thunder demon core or the elixir, I will give it with both hands, and keep it so that your Thunder Eagle can break through to the sixth order as soon as possible, and there will be no sequelae!" "Since His Royal Highness the Prince has said this, I can't shirk it, so I can only run this trip for you." After a few seconds of silence, Lu Chengfeng looked up at the third prince and gave the promise he wanted to hear: "After I go back, I will arrange the affairs of the mercenary group and strive to set off today!"
