Chapter 6 Birthday
Chapter 6 Birthday
The palace of Emperor Arthur may not be the most magnificent palace on the mainland, but it is definitely the most artistic building. So when An Ruoran sat in the last row of the banquet hall, he was not only concerned about the exquisite food in front of him, but also focused on looking around, trying to identify all the nearby gems...
"It seems that the rumor that this Majesty loves Qibao is indeed true!" After sighing, An Ruoran couldn't help but squint his eyes and wonder whether he should take away a few Qibaos. Even with the memories left by Victor, many Qibaos arranged in this banquet hall are of many kinds and useless, but they are all unheard and unsightly. As a demon casting master, if he is not moved when he sees these things, it will be as strange as the pervert who does not pounce on him when he sees the ** beauty.
However, considering the terrible consequences of doing so, An Ruoran gave up this idea and looked at the high-ranking Emperor Arthur, who was nearly 70 years old, but the silver-haired and long-bearded Majesty was still full of vitality, and his eyes were still full of majesty. In other words, there was no emperor who looked more like an emperor than this!
Perhaps he noticed An Ruoran's gaze. Emperor Arthur, who was receiving toasts from several princes, suddenly turned his head and looked at him thoughtfully. Then, the emperor majesty smiled slightly, and then turned his eyes to the princes again. An Ruoran was slightly stunned, feeling a little strange. Although it was only the first time we met, why did he always feel familiar when he saw this emperor?
"What's so strange about it? Maybe this old man has also come to the casting business with a hidden identity!" Naya, who was approved to bring the palace, buried his head in pain, but at this moment he said vaguely. Almost at the same time, the attendant's loud voice suddenly sounded: "Sea messenger, Mr. Heiger is here!"
Accompanied by this sentence, Heiger and several seamen had already appeared at the entrance of the banquet hall. A few seconds later, his eyes suddenly met An Ruoran who was right next to the door... In an instant, the face of the sea messenger underwent various changes, and finally fixed it as a vicious expression. But looking at Heiger who seemed to want to swallow his own mouthful, An Ruoran actually raised his wine glass as if nothing had happened and said, "I've met again. Do you want to duel again this time?"
The moment he heard this, Hegel seemed to have the urge to rush up to strangle the other party, but he finally turned his head and strode towards Emperor Arthur who was sitting on the throne. He did not perform the respectful manners of the lower-ranking people to pay homage to the superiors. The envoy of the sea tribe just bowed slightly and then looked directly at Emperor Arthur and said, "Your Majesty, I will come to congratulate you on your 70th birthday according to the will of my Emperor Desra. In addition, our tribe is willing to reach a comradeship agreement with your country. I wonder what you mean?"
Regardless of the meaning of Heiger's words, just from his actions and tone, he obviously regarded the sea clan as a country with the same status as the Kashyapa Empire. So at this moment, the princes and all the officials in the hall could not help but look at each other. In the low conversation, Artest, who had the most straightforward personality, could hardly help but stand up and scold him because he had been fighting with the sea clan for many years. He had already been full of hatred for these greedy and arrogant sea men. At this moment, he saw Heiger's rude words again, so he naturally wanted to swing his sword to cut the other party into two pieces immediately!
"Atai, sit down!" In the slightly chaotic atmosphere, Emperor Arthur suddenly coughed lightly, which made the scene gradually quiet. Looking at Heiger as if nothing had happened, the cunning Majesty still smiled and raised his hand and said lightly: "Mr. Heiger, you might as well talk about the content of the comradeship agreement."
"Yes!" Heiger bowed again, then stood up and looked around, and spoke loudly: "Actually, our country is not hostile to your country, and we also hope to reach long-term trade cooperation. Therefore, as long as your country delivers all the coastal islands along the South China Sea to our country, you can..."
"Bastard!" Before Heiger finished speaking, Artest jumped up unbearably. If Cruise and Junan had not been trying to pull him desperately on both sides, they would have been afraid that the angry iron fist would have been swept directly on Heiger's face. It would be no wonder Artest was so angry. If these coastal islands were handed over to the sea tribe, it would not only mean that the blood of Kashyapa's army over the years would be emptied, but it would also be a disaster for the tiger to provide the sea tribe with a base to attack the Kashyapa Empire.
Simply put, if you can own these coastal islands, the sea tribes will form an encirclement on the Kashyapa coastline and control the maritime trade of the Kashyapa Empire. In addition, owning these islands means that the sea tribes have a greater strategic advantage. They can establish bases on these islands and then launch attacks on Kashyapa's natives from time to time.
So for the Kashyapa Empire, this requirement is simply an unreasonable robber contract, and no one will accept it as a normal person. However, in the angry eyes of the audience, Heiger still smiled as if nothing had happened and said lightly: "It seems that you have some opinions on this? It doesn't matter. If you really can't accept it, our country doesn't mind continuing to fight with your country..."
This is a threat of nobility. It is not how powerful the sea tribe is. It is just that they have always been good at sneaking in the sea, occasionally landing on the shore to harass and grabbing, which makes the Kashyapa Empire unpredictable. Moreover, if they really encounter the regular army of the Kashyapa Empire, the whale shark warriors of the sea tribe also have the ability to fight to the death on land, which is also a point that the Kashyapa Empire is quite afraid of.
"War as soon as we fight, are we still afraid of you turtles who like to shrink your head..." However, after a slight shock, Artest still shouted loudly unbearably. However, before he finished speaking, Cruise coughed lightly at the gesture of Emperor Arthur and said lightly: "It's not too late to talk about this matter in the future! Today is the birthday of the father, so let's talk about some pleasant things."
"That's right, then please allow me to present my country's gifts to Your Majesty on behalf of His Majesty Desra!" Hegel responded with a smile, bowed slightly and said, "My country has always been rich in resources. This time, I have specially prepared many gifts that are difficult to see for your country in a century. I believe that Your Majesty will be very satisfied."
With an unconcealable sense of pride, Heiger immediately turned the space ring on his finger. With the blue light shining, several wooden boxes appeared on the floor of the hall one after another. Artest sneered, originally planning to say a few sarcastic words, but when he saw the items stored in the wooden boxes, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned and couldn't speak in surprise.
At this moment, in the wooden boxes that appeared in front of everyone, dozens of gifts shining with light were displayed, including corals up to two meters high, pearls as big as ordinary people's fists, and even sea beast magic crystals with a diameter of nearly thirty centimeters. If you have to give an adjective, then the characteristics of these things can be summarized into large ones. Taking those magic crystals as examples as examples, the usual magic crystals can be the size of a palm, which is considered a treasure, but the magic crystals provided by the sea clan are five or six times larger at the moment, and even if you look at the entire empire, you can't find a second one.
Even though he was dissatisfied, when he saw these gifts that were rare treasures, everyone present could not help but change their faces and sighed faintly. Hegel inspected the surroundings as if nothing had happened and said proudly: "As you have seen, these gifts are rare treasures for our country. His Majesty, Desra, took several years to collect them and specially ordered me to present them, which shows our country's determination to get along with your country in a friendly manner."
Hearing his self-proclaimed, everyone was depressed, but they couldn't find any words to refute. Emperor Arthur narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded slightly to Hegel, "Thank you for your country's gift, it's really hard for the Patriarch Desra to spend such great effort this time."
"You are polite! Before I leave, Your Majesty also told me that although Kashyapa is known as wealthy, he is only known as honor on the mainland. In fact, when it comes to treasures, how can the Flan continent be compared with the vast ocean?" Heiger smiled and took the opportunity to attack, "So if our two countries can cooperate and trade, your country will also get a lot of benefits. Just take the magic crystal here as an example. If your country can be used to cast weapons and equipment, it will probably be greatly improved in combat power."
These words were half temptation and half a blow, which made people angry and helpless when they heard it. Hegel saw Artest, who was ashen-faced as ever, but turned his head to look at An Ruoran who was sitting next to the door, and sneered provocatively: "Even if your royal family doesn't use it, I'm afraid that your country's magic casting master will go crazy about it. Mr. An, I remember you are also a magic casting master. What do you think these magic crystals are worth?"
In an instant, everyone looked at An Ruoran and saw how he would respond in the face of such provocation. Artest snorted coldly, as if he wanted to help immediately, but Jun An gently pulled his arm and said in a low voice: "Atai, my father has no expression yet, you don't have to stand up for it. Waiting to see, I always feel that Mr. An is not the kind of person who will suffer losses..."
Artest sighed helplessly, but he didn't believe how An Ruoran could get back his face, and he also let out this anger for the Kashyapa Empire. But in his anxious eyes, An Ruoran stood up as if nothing had happened, and slowly walked towards the wooden boxes with a wine glass. Hegel showed a sarcastic smile and sneered coldly: "Mr. An, you might as well look carefully, but don't say anything nonsense because you are distracted!"
"Well, is this the magic crystal offered by the nobles?" Ignoring the other party's provocation, An Ruoran picked up a large magic crystal with a smile and weighed it in his hand a few times. The next moment, he slowly turned his palm, and then easily opened his fingers, and in an instant, the priceless magic crystal fell to the ground, breaking into pieces in a crisp sound...
