lizard lord

Chapter 164

Although the two women were driving the vultures and walking at the forefront of the team, the first ones to come down to negotiate with Tang Zhao and the others were not the two of them, but a vulture rider in gorgeous armor.

The royal family of Oran is not short of money, and they have spared no effort in arming the elite troops. The armor they equip the Vulture Knights is of excellent quality, even by the very picky standards of dwarves and elves. kind of.

"Following the instructions of Mr. Bork of the Heim Church, we are here to assist you in fighting the hobgoblins. He should have passed the news to you before, whether he can let us land and provide supplies. If possible, please explain to us the current situation. battlefield situation."

The voice is loud, sonorous and powerful but not sharp-edged, which is in line with most people's imagination of elite professional soldiers, but these words are indeed quite subtle after careful consideration.

[The Church of Helm is not the Earl of Luford, it seems that the royal family still has a big opinion on the Earl.Maybe when this war is over, the royal family will take care of Earl Lufford as well, it seems that it is necessary to find relevant personnel to find out]

Thinking this way in my heart, it is difficult to see any changes in Tang Zhao's expression from the outside.

He used psychic energy to communicate with Bourne, and signaled to him to treat these vulture riders well, after all, they would be needed soon.

Bourne nodded again and again: "No problem! Granny, the dwarves have never been stingy with their friends! Come down, we will provide you with the necessary supplies and a place to rest."

Hearing this, the vulture rider made a gesture to a group of people behind, and more than 20 tall and strong vultures landed in an open space together.

About four or five Vulture Riders followed the questioner to find Bourne. They went to deal with the supplies and resting place, and made some preparations for the subsequent actions.

As for most of the rest of the vulture riders, they all stood quietly behind Olivia and the other person like sculptures.The primary and secondary positions are clear at this moment, and the support may only be incidental. The main purpose of these knights seems to be to protect Olivia's safety.

But anyway, Tang Zhao didn't want to be unfavorable to Olivia and the others, and the Vulture Knight would also help them. From the results point of view, there was no difference, and Tang Zhao didn't ask too many things.

[I haven't seen each other for a while, it seems that during this period of time, we have encountered a little change in our lives. 】

In order to send a "no threat" signal to the guards behind, Tang Zhao did not expand his size, but kept his size about half a meter, approached Olivia, and tried to talk to her.

The other party should know psychic power or magic, and immediately located Tang Zhao's position. She was looking at Tang Zhao with a slightly suspicious look.

Apparently this lizard was talking to him just now, but Olivia has never seen a similar intelligent creature, and he doesn't look like some kind of familiar who is acting as a messenger, which makes Olivia a little unresponsive .

[It seems that you don't have much impression of me, but it's normal.Just to remind you, in the middle of last year, you followed a few other people to explore in Cangguan Forest, and happened to find a team of orcs lurking there, and at the same time, you also found a team preparing to migrate The retreating goblin and a lizard.I was the lizard at that time, and there are many goblin residents in this settlement, some of them have been with me since the time of Cangguan Forest. 】

Olivia's expression quickly changed from thinking to astonishment: "It's you? Why have your appearance and size changed so much? No, it seems that we shouldn't start from this point. Why do you use psychic energy to communicate with me? "

She was very sure that when he was in the Cangguan Forest, there was absolutely no trace of spiritual energy on this lizard, and its appearance was very different from what it is now.

[Regarding this point, I am a reptile, and it is normal to molt several times a year, and the growth brought about by my molt is more obvious.But this is harmless, the information you need to know now, my name is Carlos, and I am currently the chairman of the executive committee of Karak Solma, you can temporarily think that I am the main authority in this city. 】

Olivia's expression changed very subtly several times within a few seconds, but in the end she put on a more serious expression: "I understand, Mr. Carlos, thank you very much for being able to be in this special period. Make time to meet us."

It was easy to see from her expression that she was very puzzled by the current situation, but Tang Zhao didn't want to waste his precious time explaining this kind of problem to the other party.Cynthia seems to have a good relationship with her, just let her explain the details later, I believe she will be happy to do this kind of thing, there is a lot of common language between elves and goblins.

[Instead, I want to thank you for your help, come with me, this place is not suitable for conversation. 】

After finishing speaking, Tang Zhao jumped on the shoulder of a kobold, and he led everyone to the conference room.

As he was walking, he felt a little emotional in his heart.

At the beginning, she promised to send people to Insula's side at the beginning of spring. If the goblins could not survive in Insula, she would help arrange manpower to send the goblins to the southern elf kingdom.

I don't know if it was her intentional arrangement, anyway, she is indeed here now.
-
Entering an underground conference room, the Kobold and Griffon Knight stayed outside the conference room with interest. Only Tang Zhao, Olivia and her maid were in the room.

[Speaking of which, it seems that she is not a maid. 】

Obviously, it is impossible for a maid to appear in such a more serious and formal occasion.

Being a lizard for too long has caused some strange changes in Tang Zhao's aesthetics, but it's still far from the level where he can't tell the age of a human - the person in front of him doesn't look much older than Olivia, Judging by the appearance alone, he is in his early 20s.

[Thinking from various angles, it is unlikely that they are really the same age, and there is a high probability that they are people from his father's side]

Olivia seemed to be thinking and hesitating about something. She didn't seem to be willing to introduce this person to Tang Zhao, and Tang Zhao didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, when she needed to know, she would definitely know.

[So, to save us both precious time, what is your purpose for coming to Insula? 】

In formal conversations, Tang Zhao used that pocket size to talk to the other party, which was somewhat inappropriate and disrespectful, and he put himself in a weak position. He restored his body size to four or five meters. Just enough to stretch out in the not-so-big conference room.

Olivia looked at Tang Zhao, took a deep breath, and seemed to have made up her mind: "I hope you can help us get in touch with those elves in the west of the mainland. The times have changed a lot in the past 1000 years. We can no longer wallow in the hatred of the past."

【I personally support what you said, but let me ask one more question, what kind of position do you represent now? 】

The royal family of Oran as an outsider, the individual elves as diplomats, or the entire southern elf kingdom have different positions, and the meaning of their words is completely different.

"I represent myself, Guinivea Alberga Michela, isn't that enough?"

Tang Zhao's eyes showed a humanized astonishment in an instant, and he never thought of this answer.

[I couldn't help the doubts in my heart, so I asked a few more questions, doesn't your father know about such a big matter? 】

"He didn't know that I came to the west of Oran at the beginning, but now he should be very anxious, maybe he is trying to persuade His Majesty the king to send more teams of griffon riders to take me back."

[I admire your courage, but how did you persuade the troops directly under the royal family to work with you. 】

Originally, Tang Zhao wanted to talk about nonsense, but Olivia must have her own ideas for such behavior, and nonsense should not be counted as nonsense.

"You can understand it as a little personal social relationship, I don't want to talk about the specifics."

Looking at the expressionless "maid" behind her, Tang Zhao always felt that things were not that simple.

She does know many children of military noble families, and it is estimated that there will be many genuine small military nobles who are willing to befriend her in order to gain some benefits from the elves.But this is a genuine army directly under the royal family, and its nature is completely different.

[Okay, I understand.Regarding your request, I actually don't mind helping out, but if you come here only as an individual, I don't guarantee that you will achieve any success. From my own observation, most elves are not interested in those boring old stories. Still have a grudge. 】

"It's okay, I'm very grateful if I can help." Olivia's expression was a little emotional, "My father is a very traditional elf, excellent and powerful with a kind of elf-like pride. As a diplomatic officer, this kind of person maintains elves Of course, there is no problem with their majesty, but if they want people like them to take the initiative to try to bridge the broken relationship with the western elves, unless His Majesty the King personally orders it, it is probably impossible."

Of course her father is not an idiot, he knows what kind of behavior is most beneficial to the elves as a whole, and also knows that in this era of decline of the elves as a whole, unity is far more useful than maintaining the status quo of division, but for various reasons they , just won't do this kind of thing.

In the beginning, when the elves and dwarves were still in the golden age, the cause of the all-out war between the two sides was also a farce.

During the elf civil war, some rebellious elf troops plundered the caravan of the dwarves and killed several respected rune blacksmiths. The dwarves were also masters of revenge. At that time, they also had spare power, and many princes could easily pull out tens of thousands of people. It is completely different from the current situation of Pinduoduo with hundreds of people and hundreds of people.

Many powerful princes called on the dwarves to launch a "War of Revenge" against the elves in order to get rid of the blood debt in the book of hatred. The high king of the dwarves at that time exercised restraint and tried to suppress the matter.

Those rebellious elves seemed to have found an opportunity from it, and launched several attacks on dwarf caravans and travelers consciously one after another, and even used magic and cruel methods to desecrate the dead. The princes immediately mobilized, calling for an all-out war, and began to expel or even kill the elf merchants within their sphere of influence.

The High King could see that something was wrong. After all, he had no grudges with the elves in the past, and he did not approve of this decision. He even used a very undwarven method to quell the commotion. The vicious dwarf prince barely prevented them from taking further actions.

He immediately negotiated with the elves to see if he could get a solution to avoid the outbreak of war.

The envoy traveled all the way to the Elven King's Court. The King's Court didn't know about this kind of thing at all. According to the logic of the human race, the Elf King patiently explained to the dwarves, and the matter was over, and the two parties were still trading partners.According to the temper of the dwarves, maybe the two sides can become comrades-in-arms. After all, it is impossible for them not to take revenge, and the relationship between the two sides will be further deepened.

One lives in the mountains and the other lives in the forest. There is no conflict in terms of habitat, and they can complement each other in various aspects. A beautiful win-win outcome is thus produced.

As a result, the elf king directly humiliated the emissary of the dwarf who didn't know where he came from, cut off his beard and threw it out, which was more than killing the emissary.

There is even such a thing as a beard tax among the dwarves. They probably value beards more than humans value their little brothers. One can imagine what happened next.

The dwarves and elves fell into an "unprecedented" all-out war. After the war, both sides fought hard enough. Later, due to a series of factors, they lost their status as the hegemony of the mainland and became regional powers, even with their strength still shrinking.

It is true that the elf king is an idiot, and he is one of the most idiots among the kings of the intelligent race, but this can also reflect the mentality of the elves.

Excessive arrogance, even to a certain morbid level, this kind of arrogance is especially serious when facing the same race.

It is impossible to expect such a race to take the initiative to bow its head.

It is precisely for this reason that half-elf diplomats are quite active in the elven kingdom.

Many of them do not have the deep-rooted arrogance of the elves, they have a humorous side of humans, and at the same time they have the cultivation and education of the elves, so they are quite popular in diplomatic occasions.

This is also one of the reasons why Olivia lives in the Royal Capital of Oran. It's not that her father doesn't know her shortcomings, but he can't correct them if he knows them. It is very likely that Olivia will take over in the future. After all She mixes well among humans, and doesn't have many of the weird stink problems of elves.

PS. I feel that this piece is a bit watery, and there are too many backgrounds, and now there is not enough time to fix it. I will write more content in the next few pages, and there will be no charge for less than [-] words. I will fill in the watery part.
