Volume 3: Artifacts Chapter 95 Home Visit
Qingkong, who played the role of Meteor, said at this time: "The Golden Shield Empire does not want to get involved in the affairs between your ancient civilizations. The Hunting Queen has been killed by me, and the remaining Headhunters are no longer a threat to the forest elves. We did what friends should do, unlike you who only want to encroach on the Emerald Forest.
Goodbye, King Taotie!
I'll meet you for coffee tonight..."
After Qingkong finished speaking, he drove the Magic Titan away. The huge Kirov steam airship turned in the air, preparing to return to the Emerald King's Court.
At this time, cheers rose to the sky from the ground, and the fat body of the Hunting Queen was dragged out of the nest by the patrolmen. And Shelley was also lifted and thrown high by the forest elves like a hero.
As the news of victory spread, the excited forest elves charged towards the headhunters even more fiercely.
In the sky.
Elder Shuojin Lin, Archangel Elzel, and the Taotie King of the Dragon Kingdom looked at each other in confrontation.
When the cheers on the ground died down, Luke said, "The meteorite of the Golden Shield Empire has left. As an ancient civilization, I want to say something to the Golden People and the Angels. All the actions taken by the Dragon Nation so far are defensive countermeasures that they have to take passively because of you.
Therefore, when you blame us, you should first reflect on whether you are too active.
As for the future of the Emerald Forest, the Dragon Nation will not actively interfere. Since we recognize the independence of the Emerald Forest, we will not take the initiative to occupy it. Of course, the Dragon Nation will not watch the Emerald Forest being threatened and bullied . If you want to get something, please use normal means. Even if you trick the forest elves into selling the Emerald Forest, it has nothing to do with us.
I hope you won’t do anything that would make Longguo unhappy.”
After drawing the red line, Luke stopped talking to the Golden Man and the Angel. The Black Dragon Barle roared in protest and turned to fly towards the Emerald King's Court.
There were only two groups left above the nest: the Golden Man and the Angel.
Elder Lin said to Archangel Elzerie: "You should be able to see that King Taotie and the Golden Shield Empire Meteor have a tacit understanding."
Archangel Elzer kept staring at Luke's back. "I heard that this Taotie King is an ancient giant dragon in human form that was developed by the Dragon Kingdom after thousands of years of seclusion. I didn't expect him to be so aggressive. It seems that the Dragon Kingdom is not as peaceful as we imagined. I will tell the Sword of Oath as soon as possible what I see here.
Sky City must be wary of Dragon Country."
Elder Lin said, "I hope Archangel Elzerel can stay for a while. Next up will be a battle between the Shining Gold People and the Golden Shield Empire over the Emerald Forest. I will be at a disadvantage facing the Taotie King and the Falling Star alone. If the Golden Shield Empire or the Dragon Kingdom takes away the Emerald Forest, it will not be good for us."
Archangel Elzer looked at Elder Lin and the Shining Gold people behind him and said, "Sky City and the Shining Gold people have not yet formed an alliance. If we get too close, we will be used by the Dragon Kingdom to instigate the Hell and Shadow Clan.
Your fight with the Golden Shield Empire is not a war for Sky City."
"But you just saw the strength of the Golden Shield Empire. A super-heavy steam airship is a small floating fortress. Without the artifact, we have no way to make our floating fortress take off, but the Golden Shield Empire can manufacture this kind of cheap floating fortress in large quantities.
There is also the Magic Titan, which Meteor drove to easily kill the Hunting Queen who occupied the Magic Spring, which shows how powerful the Magic Titan is. This kind of weapon can also be mass-produced, and the Golden Shield Empire is rapidly narrowing the gap in strength with our ancient civilization.
If the Golden Shield Empire obtains the alchemy technology of the Emerald Forest, their magic technology will be even stronger!
Has Sky City ever thought about the terrible consequences of an alliance between the Golden Shield Empire and the Dragon Kingdom? "
Archangel Elzel also felt in his heart that this trip out of the Sky City was truly an eye-opener. The secular world with super-heavy steam airships and magic Titans was completely different from what he knew.
And the weapon with the power of the sun held by the Taotie King made him feel the pressure as if he was facing the Sword of Oath.
If the Golden Shield Empire and the Dragon Kingdom join forces, will the Shining Gold People be their match?
How should Sky City make a choice?
Elzer experienced the period when the Golden Man ruled the Sky City. At the beginning, the angels who were obsessed with the art of self-touching did not have the strength to resist; later, when they had the strength to resist, the angels had already accepted the fusion of the "authority" represented by the Golden Man and the "justice" represented by the angels.
This created the authoritative "justice" that angels believe in today.
It can be said that angels have a dual nature of rejection and acceptance towards the Shining Gold Civilization. It is difficult for them to get too close, but they will not be too distant either.
Therefore, when the Shining Gold people faced pressure from the Dragon Kingdom and the Golden Shield Empire, Archangel Elzel couldn't help but feel that if one were to be killed, the other would be in danger.
"Okay, we will stay in the Emerald Royal Court for a while and look for another missing Holy Judge Angel. He seems to have left traces in the Emerald Magic Academy area."
Elder Lin breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter what reason Archangel Elzel uses to stay, the Sky City is an existence that the forest elves cannot ignore.
The war in the Colorful Garden was drawing to a close, and the forest elves set a huge fire that set the Hunting Queen's lair on fire.
Without external interference, the Magic Spring was unstable and had teleported to an unknown place long before the forest elves rushed there. Therefore, the forest elves only saw the remains of the hunters, the corpse of the hunting queen, and Shelley who looked confused.
The royal patrols carried the body of the hunted queen and Shelley wearing a flower crown, singing as they marched towards the Emerald Court. The news had already been sent back to the palace on the shores of Emerald Lake via carrier birds.
At this time, King Sanye was still in grief over the death of Dean Vidal.
"It seems that his whole life was dedicated to saving the forest elves at this moment." Upon hearing the news of victory, King Sanye couldn't help but sigh. Then he said to Professor Makatina who came to see him, "It has been confirmed that your student Dale Molixiang is Princess Dale of the Golden Shield Empire.
Although Princess Dale never participates in political affairs, she has a strong influence on the Empire's eldest princess Agatha and the Empire's Prime Minister. I hope you can use your relationship with Princess Dale to help Emerald Forest obtain some key information from the Empire."
Professor Makatina refused and said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty! I'm afraid I can't complete the task you assigned to me. I met Dale, who is now running around in the ruins of the city, rescuing every elf and human who needs help.
She is a kind girl with a pure heart. If she hadn't revealed her identity to help the Emerald Forest, I would never have thought that she was such a noble princess. I won't do anything to hurt her, nor will I allow anyone to hurt her. "
King Sanye persuaded the stubborn Professor Makatina, "I didn't ask you to hurt Princess Dale! You should understand the current situation of the Emerald King's Court. The Golden Shield Empire, the Shining Gold Man, the Dragon, and the Angel are all more dangerous than the Headhunters. Now they are all eyeing the Emerald Forest.
I need more information and need to influence them as much as possible."
Professor Makatina understood the crisis that the Emerald Forest was facing, and her tone softened a bit, but she still insisted on her principles: "I sincerely apologize to you, my majesty! The death of Dean Vidal has made me feel very confused.
I can't use Princess Dai'er to get information, maybe I can ask Princess Dai'er to arrange a private meeting between me and the Prime Minister of the Golden Shield Empire, Yunxing, and ask Yunxing your question directly. "
King Sanye considered.
It seemed that Emerald Lake had not arranged a meeting between the two leaders in the first place, which had angered the Prime Minister of Meteorite. The officials he had sent to visit him had not met him.
Even if it is to ease the atmosphere, the Emerald King's Court needs representatives to meet the meteorite to pave the way for a formal meeting between the two parties.
Professor Makatina is a good choice.
With the relationship with Princess Dale, she should not be rejected when she goes to see Meteorite as a mentor.
The things that can be discussed will also be flexible.
"Okay!" King Sanye said to Professor Makatina, "I now appoint you as the acting dean of the Emerald Magic Academy. You must restore order to the academy as soon as possible. When the Kirov steam airship of the Golden Shield Empire arrives at the royal court, you will go to the Meteor Prime Minister for a home visit as Princess Dale's mentor..."
Professor Makatina saluted and replied, "As you command, Your Majesty!"
After Professor Makatina left, King Sanye ordered an announcement to the Emerald King's Court: "The Hunting Queen was killed in the Colorful Garden. The forest elves have won a decisive victory over the headhunters!"
The news spread quickly in the city.
The civilians who were hiding in the shelters and worried about their fate did not dare to believe the news at first. It was not until the royal court patrols all over the city excitedly fired colorful arrows into the air that the elves who had suffered so much came out of their hiding places.
I won, it seemed like I really won.
Some elves rejoice in their victory, while others shed tears for the death of their loved ones.
The Emerald Court entered into a spontaneous celebration of victory.
However, the city's alert status has not been lifted, and the royal court patrolmen are still sticking to their posts.
This time, they only killed the Queen of Hunting. There are still many headhunters in the Emerald Forest. They have lost the control of the Queen, and their instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm makes them pay more attention to hiding, and then look for opportunities to attack. The forest is far from safe for the elves, and fighting with the headhunters for the forest will become a long and low-intensity war.
The huge population brought about by the war is still a huge burden on the city. Before the economy recovers, the Emerald Court is extremely dependent on external aid.
Fortunately, the Golden Shield Empire’s aid was not interrupted because the empire’s prime minister was neglected.
The Emerald Court used the empire's aid to rebuild the city, and naturally the favors it received accumulated more and more.
Professor Makatina found Dale among the volunteers, and successfully boarded the returning Kirov steam airship through Dale, and met Meteor, the Prime Minister of the Golden Shield Empire.
"Mr. Prime Minister of Meteorite!" Professor Makatina saluted Luke and said bluntly: "This time I am here on behalf of His Majesty King Sanye. Our king would like to express his gratitude to you and the Golden Shield Empire..."
"Professor Makatina, please sit down!" Luke interrupted Professor Makatina and invited her to sit on the sofa opposite him: "If I knew you were here on behalf of His Majesty King Sanye, I would never see you.
The help that the Golden Shield Empire has given to the Emerald Forest cannot be dealt with simply by saying "thank you". I also don't want your relationship with Princess Dale to be mixed with unnecessary things.
Let's talk about Princess Dale's studies and her continued study abroad at the Emerald Magic Academy."
Dai'er on the side wanted to say something, but was stopped by Kylena: "Your Highness, I will take you to bake bread, and you can give it to those hungry children."
Dale was taken away by Kylena.
This made Professor Makatina very embarrassed and worried about herself. She was now facing the most powerful politician in the world. Just by hearing some of his legends, she could feel how powerful he was.
It's not the kind of oppression that Queen Clear Sky is simply due to lack of strength, but a powerful empire is in front of her.
"Prime Minister, Prime Minister...Princess Dai'er is going to continue studying abroad at the Emerald Magic Academy?"
"This is the choice of Her Royal Highness Princess Dale! Don't be nervous, Professor Makatina... should be Makatina's acting dean." Luke poured coffee for Makatina himself and continued, "Princess Dale has a strong interest in natural sciences, the Emerald Magic Academy has the best natural sciences, and you are also a mentor that Her Royal Highness admires very much.
Not many elves know Princess Dale's identity now. As long as she keeps the secret, she will still be an outstanding student of the Emerald Magic Academy - Jasmine. "
Makatina took a deep breath to calm her nervousness and said, "Princess Dale... no, it's Jasmine, she is one of the best students I have ever taught, and her learning ability makes me jealous.
Please rest assured, Prime Minister, as long as Jasmine is my student, I will do my best to take good care of her."
"Thank you, Acting Dean Makatina. I believe that under your leadership, the Emerald Magic Academy will continue to move forward along the path pioneered by Dean Vidal and become one of the indispensable halls of wisdom in the world."
Makatina said embarrassedly, "I am only the acting dean now. There are many candidates in the academy who are more suitable than me. When this special period is over, His Majesty King Sanye will definitely appoint a formal dean, and then I can continue my research in natural sciences."
Luke smiled meaningfully, and did not discuss the matter in depth. Instead, he said, "The Golden Shield Empire will have a major event in the near future. A new emperor will inherit the power of Augustine the Great and continue to rule this ancient and emerging empire.
On behalf of the Queen Regent, I solemnly invite His Majesty the King of Sanye to attend the ceremony."
"Ah!" Makatina didn't expect the topic to change so much. She said at a loss: "I, I will tell His Majesty King Sanye. Can we... talk about your meeting with His Majesty King Sanye?"
Luke smiled and said, "You are still not qualified to represent King Sanye and talk to me about this matter. I know the purpose of your visit. You can just convey my words to His Majesty King Sanye.
The "free trade body" led by the Golden Shield Empire is an economic cooperation organization, not a military organization, which is fundamentally different from the "international alliance" of the World Bank. The Golden Shield Empire hopes that the Jade King Court can help us break the economic barriers built by the World Bank. Currency exchange will also help the economic security of our two countries and accelerate the reconstruction of the Jade Forest.
I think with this condition alone, the Empire's contribution should be enough!"
