Sword of Daybreaker

Looking at the calm and indifferent Emperor Cecil with a smile in his eyes, Sir Goros was a little surprised.

He found that the attitude of the empire's ruler was much calmer than he thought, as if he had anticipated the response of the Dragon Crowd today, or whatever the answer of the Dragon Clan made, he seemed to have completed the plan.

"Although Jazz, Cecil and the Holy Principality live next to each other, in the past hundreds of years, the two countries have not communicated sufficiently. It is inevitable that there will be insufficient understanding and even misunderstanding between us." Gao Wen noticed that Golos was briefly surprised, and he just smiled slightly. "Based on this, it is normal for us to encounter some problems during the contact process and to overturn some solutions. We should be fully prepared for this, and Always believe in our desire for peace, right? "

Gorosh bowed his head: "... I agree with that."

Subsequently, the Dragons spoke out their views on the exchanges between the two countries, and put forward specific responses to many previous programs by Gao Wen. Many proposals on opening business channels, studying abroad programs, technical exchanges, and ambassadors were successively reviewed. Throw, and then either reach a consensus, or put it on hold temporarily, or produce a specific modification plan ... Time passes unknowingly.

Gao Wen eventually withdrew all plans involving resource development, basic engineering holding, and education output, while the Holy Dragon Principality agreed with most of the conventional commercial projects and normal diplomatic projects, and most importantly, they were willing to accept Serbia within a certain range. The Singapore dollar is used as the settlement currency for business activities in both countries.

In the early days, this settlement was only an experiment and observation, but as long as this step was taken, Gao Wen was satisfied.

He can already announce that the Duchy of the Dragon is already a member of the Cecil settlement area.

Of course, what Gao Wen and Golos carried out today is only a closed-door meeting. They will personally work out a large framework, and there are countless details in this framework that need to be considered and formulated. This part will be later. The discussions in successively larger meetings have been fully discussed, and Cecil's diplomats, the think tank of the Office of Government, and the advisory team of the Dragonborn will be the protagonists of the subsequent meetings.

But at that time, it wasn't Gao Wen who personally asked all the details. Hetty, as the consul resident in the imperial capital, will take over the follow-up affairs.

The long and extraordinarily exhausting meeting is coming to an end.

The motions prepared in advance have been fully communicated. The clerk's desk has been stacked with thick documents and shorthand information. The magic net terminal used to record images and sounds has been replaced with crystal twice. The Dragonborn and Cecil Everyone got a relatively satisfactory answer.

After directly canceling some of the motions, with the patience and sincerity of both parties, everything progressed faster than Gao Wen expected.

Eventually, as the giant round approached the horizon, Sir Goros sighed softly, and then he looked at Gao Wen and raised his last topic today.

"Your Majesty," said the Dragonborn Ambassador earnestly, and said, "I want to talk to you ... about the Wings of Steel."

"Ah, I'm trying to bring up this topic," Gao Wen said for a moment, then smiled. "So what do you think about this Cecil cutting-edge engineering product?"

"... It is an incredible creation. I think any Dragonborn will have to admit it. It gives us a real understanding and understanding of the potential and prospects of the so-called" magic technology ", and the potential for Dragonborn. Potential impact, "Sir Goros said without a word of praise, frankly speaking his high opinion, but then he turned sharply," However, I don't know if you are clear in the Holy Dragon Principality Dragon law is prohibited by law and tradition, and this taboo is very important in dragon society.

"We don't touch the blue sky, not only because our wings are not as strong and strong as real dragons, but also because our tradition does not allow outsiders to understand this taboo. You may even find it inexplicable, but there is a point You have to understand that this is an immutable fact, at least in the eyes of the Dragonborn. "

Gao Wen calmly listened to Sir Gorosh's words before raising his eyebrows: "That is to say, the dragons will not accept this technology. Take it to the Holy Dragon Principality by any channel. "

Gorosh nodded gently: "That's why it will soon be listed as a contraband, and imports, sales, and use will be banned, and our Dragon Blood Council will introduce a clear law in the short term."

As expected, it is regrettable.

Several officials at the scene, even Gao Wenren, did not hide the disappointment on their faces.

But soon, Herti, sitting beside Gao Wen, read a little from Sir Goros's look. As a careful and keen person, she found that there was some hesitation in Sir Goros' eyes, as if he still had something To say.

"Jazz," said Hitty, "you should have something to say about Wings of Steel?"

"I didn't hide your eyes, ma'am," Golos said with a smile, slowly, "the laws and taboos I mentioned above do exist, but ... the law of the dragon descent can only take effect on the land of the dragon descent The gate of the Principality of the Holy Dragon is about to open, and it is very difficult for us to restrict the behavior of the dragon descendants who have stepped out of the gate, and it is even more impossible to forbid what happened inside other countries ... "

Hitty couldn't help raising her eyebrows: "That said ..."

"If those dragons who came to Cecil to study or do business have become interested in 'Steel Wings' and they have enough financial resources to buy them, then the Dragon Blood Council will not be in control and will not be in Those dragon descendants will be investigated after they return home, "Sir Gorosh said slowly, but there was something weird in his tone. It seemed that the content was not his own idea." I mean, as long as they don't bring the steel wings to the north ... ... "

Gao Wen froze. He understood the other party ’s meaning, but he was a little surprised. He knew that these dragon emissaries must have a way to contact their home country, because the magic monitoring device of Cecil City had caught pointing to the north several times last night. The unrecognizable magic wave of direction is the strong proof of ultra-long-distance communication, so he can be sure that no matter who Sir Gorosch's words originally thought, he must have got the Dragon Blood Grand Duke, Even the tacit consent of the Dragon Blood Council came out.

Because Golos is here an "ambassador" representing all dragon descendants, every word he voluntarily speaks here is actually equivalent to the will expressed by the Holy Principality.

This is interesting.

In theory, it should be the toughest and strictest Duke of Dragon Blood, and in theory, the Dragon Blood Council that should uphold the tradition and law of the Dragon descendants, they acquiesced to the Dragon descendants to drill this hole.

In this case, acquiescence is almost equal to encouragement when it comes to "flying".

They don't really care about the dragons flying. They just ban the dragons from flying in the Holy Dragon Principality, or more precisely, they prohibit the dragons from flying over the northernmost part of the continent ...

The reason for this may be a secret for the time being, but Gao Wen is naturally happy about the incident itself.

He just needs to let the dragon descendants use the wings of steel in the south of the duchy of the dragon, and they can fly freely without having to worry about the opinions of the duke of dragon, whether they can fly in the north ... as cecil Ruler, he didn't care.

"I think I understand what you mean," Gao Wen nodded. "Then we will control the flow of the steel wings. It will not flow to the Holy Dragon Principality. We can even legislate against this. You can also crack down on steel." Wings smuggling, the two countries can reach cooperation in this regard. "

"It's best, of course, and we'll have to discuss the details of restricting the use of steel wings in the northern region, because there must be too brave dragons to find ways to further challenge the tradition," said Sir Goros, suddenly in his tone. A bit helpless, "You should understand that young people ... and young dragons will have some ... rebellion."

"I understand," Gao Wen heard a laugh, and then suddenly the conversation turned sharply, and his expression became solemn. "Since we have already talked about this topic, I would like to say a few more words."

"Please speak."

"The Wings of Steel allow dragons to fly like dragons. Flying dragons in themselves mean great power," Gao Wen said seriously, "about this ..."

Sir Golos immediately understood what Gavin meant, and he said immediately: "The dragon descendants in Cecil naturally abide by Cecil's law. I think you can also create the wings of steel and you must be able to control those equipment. If the dragon wing of the Iron Wings is born, your country should not bring such things to the market. "

Gao Wen nodded slightly: "I want to say two things, and what you mentioned is one of them."

"Oh?" Sir Goros showed a curious look. "Then your second thing is ..."

"I just want to confirm," Gao Wen smiled, "as far as I know, the laws of the Holy Dragon Principality should not prohibit dragons from becoming mercenaries in other countries ..."

The eyes of Golos and several consultants on the scene fell on Asha Lena, the latter shrugged, and said helplessly: "That is a personal act."

"Our laws really don't prohibit this," Sir Goros turned back, with a serious expression, "but the main reason was that before today the duchy of the Dragon Dragon had not officially opened its doors to the outside world, as Asari Ms. Na said that even if there were dragons who left the country to become mercenaries, it was only a personal act.

"If you mean that Cecil wants to establish a formal foreign corps in the name of the country, and wants to make this part of the agreement between the Cecil Empire and the Duchy of the Holy Dragon ... then we have to do it specifically The meeting, we discussed it carefully. "

The corners of Gao Wen's mouth had slightly tilted.

The immediate ambassador is cautious and has not directly acknowledged or endorsed anything.

But he said it would be enough to talk about it.

The rest is bargaining.

...

Juri has gradually fallen under the horizon, and there is only a pale red afterglow on the horizon. This slightly indifferent light spread from the direction of the plain on the west side, reflected on the tall iron towers and construction machinery, and also on the tall and grand Pyramidal building.

The strange building standing on the ground was facing the afterglow of the sunset, a stream of magic flowing slowly in the cracks of some walls on its surface, and a faint rune mark emerged from the base of the building, Make it more silent and mysterious.

"It's a beautiful building," said Gordon the great architect, standing next to a construction machine in the open space, staring at the pyramid-shaped facility not far away, admiring with pride in his tone, "I can't believe it ... in the old days , A craftsman who can build such a building in his lifetime can be regarded as the glory of the family, and can even become a display capital for future generations, and we only took one month to build it ... "

"Just let the building itself stand up," Nicholas Egg always floated beside Gordon, with a buzzing sound inside the ball. "The internal equipment needs to be adjusted and tested for a long time."

Hearing the other party, Gordon suddenly remembered the "newcomers" who recently appeared here and were busy around the "Computing Center" all day. He frowned subconsciously: "You mean those newcomers" Network and wetware technical experts'? They have been busy in it recently ... But to be honest, I ca n’t really see the shadow of technical experts on them. Those people are not even connected to the magic wizard terminal. They are in operation. Machines are not as good as my workers ... "

"Ah, they do look like they need to make up lessons," Nicholas Egg said buzzingly. "So the job of debugging the equipment is mainly given to the technicians sent by the Magic Technology Institute, as for those 'Newcomers' ... they are mainly responsible for testing equipment. "

Gordon was clearly skeptical: "Can they do it well?"

"Don't say it, they are really unexpectedly professional when testing those things, and they seem to be experienced in all kinds of accidents," Nicholas said with admiration in his tone. "In case of a connection failure, ordinary people It took at least half an hour, but I saw with my own eyes that they just climbed out of the immersion cabin and spit and went back to continue the test. It seemed that nothing had happened, and ordinary people continued to test the immersion cabin for a maximum of six hours before leaving for rest For a moment, those people seem to be able to stay in it for a lifetime. I really doubt that if the problem of eating, drinking, and drinking Lazarus is solved, they can really stay in it for a lifetime, and I don't know how they got trained. "

"Who knows," Gordon shrugged, "Your Majesty found these people anyway, then they must have their own strengths ..."

(Slightly modified the earlier chapter on Hadirion ... although probably most people didn't find it.)
