Whispers of the Gods

Chapter 57 Sigmund III (4)

The entourage behind the Drax envoys was dressed in rough dark brown fur coats, and eight people carried four boxes.

"Drax's envoys, I am Sigmund Miriam, the steward of Smorgburg, and the Lord Seal Keeper of the Kingdom of Vivalia." Sigmund introduced himself to the envoys.

"Hello, Master Sigmund." One of the blond curly-haired men greeted him, with a thick white beard on his face.

"My name is Theod Bimeno. We are here on behalf of the governor of the Republic of Drax, the mayor of Golden Thread City, Ratai Gremaris, and five other cities to pay respects to your Queen Lozaria. Congratulations on the coronation."

"Theod Bimeno..." Sigmund tried hard to recall the content of the letter he had obtained from Drax's messenger before, but he had no impression of the name.

"If I remember correctly, your letter mentioned that it was led by a representative of the mission named Arle Klasselin." Sigmund said.

Theodore Bimeno exchanged glances with the envoy beside him, "It seems that you still don't know that the 'Puffin' that Arles Crasselan and his envoys took on the night of the blood moon came from Swan Harbor City set sail, there was a storm that night, they disappeared in Lu Xihai without a trace.

No one knows their current whereabouts, but they are probably dead.After receiving this news, our governor, Latai Greymaris, asked me to organize another group of envoys to the city of Ashhall.Due to the rush of time, I did not have time to send a messenger to inform you. "

"Please mourn. May Hedar lead their souls to their destination. No one's bones should be forgotten at the bottom of the sea. They belong to their homeland and family." Sigmund said.

"Thank you, Lord Miriam." Theodore Bimeno and the other envoys bowed their heads and bowed to him, "You should pay more attention, the weather in the north is very bad recently."

Roarnas, the god of the sea, is really moody, he thought.Not even the best ships of the Republic of Drax can match his roar.

"Her Majesty Queen Lozaria and her loyal vassals are holding a banquet in the hall. Please be sure to convey your country's greetings in person." Sigmund waved his hand and asked Answar to open the way for them.

Seeing that the people who came were the envoys of the Republic of Drax, the whole hall fell silent.Everyone's eyes were on them, more on the white clothes on top of the blue dragon tattooed on their chests.

Most choose to stare at them, some just spit on the ground.

Drax's emissaries were not irritated or frightened by these actions, they had long been used to it.It would be better to say that they could feel the hostility as soon as they stepped into Jaegerska Palace.

Led by Sigmund, Theodore Bimeno's mission arrived at the long table in the Queen's High Seat with their gifts.

The envoys bowed to Queen Lozaria one after another, and Theod Bimeno said: "Honorable Queen of Vivalia, we are here to congratulate you on your coronation on behalf of the six cities of Drax. "

They opened the chests, and the four oaken chests contained excellent gifts: fine woven silks and brocade, cashmere and ermine, silver cups and gold coins, pearls and precious stones...

The republic of Drax is really generous. They make a lot of money from trading at sea. The coast of Vivalia is full of their trading posts, and "Fat Fish" Francak Domanche also benefited. in business with them.

"The quality of all the gifts is of the highest quality, the gold coins are collected and minted from Tragia, and the silks and satins are all from the best workshops in Swan Harbor.

You are the eighth ruler of Vivalia. Our first missions have prepared for you a dragon head ornament inlaid with eight sapphires, but they were caught in a storm along the way and have disappeared.Also please forgive me. "

"Thank you for your generous gifts. I pray to the gods that your companions are safe." Queen Lozaria said with concern.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," said Theod Bimeno. "We cherish the peaceful coexistence with your father and hope that you and King Izdor think the same."

"Of course, peace is exactly what I'm after." Queen Lozaria said, "My people will take you to the prepared room."

Drax's emissaries bowed again in thanks.

What puzzled Sigmund was that the Kingdom of Vivalia posed little threat to the Republic of Drax, let alone the Korvas.

Drax has a sea power no less than that of the Holy Palacis Empire. It is said that their ships are all over all the coasts that can be named, and some people even want to explore the end of the world's sea.

As for Vivalia, apart from the Domanche family in Weiqing City, no other family can produce a decent fleet, and the Broda family, a vassal of the Corva family, only has a few sloops.

And the wealth of the republic made the six big cities in the north the first choice for mercenaries. Whether it was sea or ground, Vivalia would find it difficult to compete with them.

Perhaps, as the commoners said, they are peace-loving people, and these gifts are nothing to them.

Seeing Vigrich standing side by side with Queen Lozaria's long table, Theod Bimeno bowed his head in respect, "Your Majesty the Emperor of Hastza." The latter nodded.

"Untouchables, even if Her Majesty the Queen agrees, don't forget who owns the right to declare war." Konrad Welker, the "Ruggy Bear", warned them with some dissatisfaction, "Gold can buy peace, but there is no gold to buy it." There would be no peace."

Theod Bimeno looked back at "Brutal Bear" and the white iron hoof banner behind him, and said bluntly: "You must be Lord Kondrade Welker of Ironcrown City.

Sorry, we are only following the orders of Lord Governor Rata Greymaris.The Governor only asked us to come to congratulate Her Majesty on her coronation and present gifts. "

"Your Lord Governor sounds like he has no brains, but after all, he was elected by the untouchables, so it's strange to have brains." Konrad said with a laugh.

"The 'untouchables' will only elect mayors who are best for them and the city-state, and the mayors will repay their trust." Theodor Bimeno responded, "Trust your elections and parliaments Is it also for the benefit of the kingdom?"

"Of course!" said Konrad Welker shamelessly.

"Too arrogant will only harm you, commoners." "Duke of Bone" Lek Mostek who sat on the left side of the hall said lightly, "When you fly too close to the sun, you will often suffer It's me."

"Thank you for your warning, we will keep it in mind." Theod Bimeno said with a half-smile.

Drax's mission left the hall under the leadership of the servants, and the noise in the hall gradually resumed before.
