You and me under the world tree

But more importantly, the purpose of the banquet and the celebration itself is also to show other countries their strength and mutual friendship-this should be the case.

At the banquet in the Netherlands before, Siegfried used the simplest and rude method to demonstrate the strength of the Netherlands-material wealth.

His party went on and on.

It was almost started a few days before the start of preparations for the enthronement ceremony, that is, when the envoys from all over the world were almost assembled.

At that time, the court of the Netherlands produced a lot of waste every day.

It was inevitable, but as Lord of Hosts and the new King he did not cause any confusion.

Even the suspension of work for several days in a row did not make the public complain about it.

Not because of anything else, because after a little inquiring, we know that the Lord of Armies in the Netherlands has issued an incomparably sufficient compensation long before.

In order to make up for the 'loss' caused by the celebration, Siegfried's staff calculated the amount of the loss and made up for it.

At the same time, food and clothing in the kingdom are not collected, but purchased at the original price.

It may be because it also comes from the folks.

The Lord of Armies, who knows that people's lives are not easy, hates oppression, so he buys food and clothing for the court.

Of course, the consumption of the banquet is too.

This is equivalent to Siegfried holding up the whole Netherlands' coronation celebration with his own money.

It didn't disturb the people in the slightest, and even allowed the people to spend an unforgettable and happy Restoration Day.

And this alone is enough to make the surrounding kingdoms fearful.

How much are the national treasury reserves of the Netherlands?

How much is left of the "Treasure of the Rhine" that was almost open to the world, buried by Siegmund and unearthed by warriors headed by Palace Chancellor Hagen?

No one knows this.

They can only guess.

Of course, what made them even more afraid was the fame displayed by the young Lord of Armies.

He did spend a lot of money, and even a lot of it seemed wronged.

However, when he raised his arms, the people and soldiers responded. This kind of reputation is completely unshakable.

And it will last a long time.

In this way, Siegfried passed a coronation ceremony and celebration to the surrounding kingdoms with a strong attitude in line with the Ilfen and Volsung clans.

And because the treasury of the Netherlands is abundant, the people in the kingdom love him very much, so all the kingdoms want to befriend him.

Such was the case with the Kingdom of Burgundy.

In fact, the Kingdom of Burgundy never thought of attacking the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and even tried its best to promote the marriage between the young king and Her Royal Highness Princess Krimhild.

But unfortunately, they chose the wrong helper, which caused disaster.

It seems that how many years have passed?

The pattern of the entire atrium world has undergone tremendous changes.

Denmark and Burgundy are gone, and their envoys certainly cannot exist here.

But now, what the Gothic Kingdom needs to deal with is actually only Hungary outside the eastern defense line.

If the Hungarian Empire also sent envoys, we can take a good look at their attitude.

However, they did not come to attend the triumphant king's enthronement ceremony.

Naturally, he will not appear at this banquet.

"call."

Exhaling like this, King Triumph slowly drank the wine in his glass.

Her gaze scanned the guests below.

For her, this banquet is not so much about it.

If there is anything to say, it is just a cutscene.

Symbolically show your friendship with the various kingdoms and see how much they give away.

"Honorable triumphant king."

At this time, it was Gitland, the emissary of the northern kingdom who had been unknown until now, who stood up.

Although in normal times, Gitland would notify Studus and Hiltebrand of any diplomatic matters, and then convey them to Goth through them.

Also because of their existence, the relationship between Gitland and Goth has always been very good.

This is the foundation laid by Weapon Master Hiltebrand.

However, starting today is different.

Because Hiltebrand completely controlled the military power, Studas had to guard the border.

In the case of holding important positions, they must not speak for their hometown.

This is the most basic rule.

So even the messenger has to be replaced.

And now, the person standing under the ladder and showing respect is the eldest prince of Gitland, the elder brother of the rebellious Studus: Sead.

If nothing else, this guy will become the successor of the current King Otwal.

Moreover, unlike his younger brother's arrogant personality, he is polite and humble.

And now, he was introducing the gift from Gitland.

The most basic treasures and all kinds of monster furs produced in the northern peninsula are not mentioned for the time being, but she is quite interested in one thing Sead said.

"sculpture?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, a five-meter-high blood gemstone was produced in the Kingdom of Gitland, and it has now been transported to the city. The craftsmen are ready. As long as Your Majesty asks, it can be constructed immediately."

Among the northern peninsula, the Kingdom of Gitland is famous for its craftsmanship.

This is the situation created by the proliferation of the group of apprentices left by the former elf blacksmith Wieland.

Of course, it is impossible for them to forge magical weapons like that elf blacksmith, because they may not even be able to learn magic.

However, that craftsmanship is real.

If you want to carve a piece of rough stone into a beautiful statue, it's no problem.

"What statue are you going to build?"

Having said that, Dietrich asked casually.

But soon, she had an idea in her heart, so she quickly shook her head.

"Let me come up with an idea."

"Please say."

"The ram and the eagle, I need this big ruby ​​to commemorate my father the king, whose contribution to the Goths is indelible."

Then, Sead bowed in this respect.

"I will tell those artisans, Your Majesty."

After the prince of Gitland stepped back, the envoy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands came next.

However, the messenger was not the sage in the world, but a warrior who was once famous in the Netherlands but was finally hit by disaster: Ragnar.

This is also a poor man.

Chapter 58: Once Depressed Warrior

Ragnar, his reputation is actually not less than that of Half the Raven and Bodwall the Little War Bear.

If he hadn't been tired of fighting and chose to retreat bravely with his wife: Lagosa, the shield girl who once belonged to Hevale, then his current status would not be low.

Perhaps even taller than the current Raven Lord Half.

Even, his status can even be equal to that of Palace Chancellor Hagen.

That's what people say.

But as for the true and false, no one knows, because no one will have any special understanding of this aspect.

The fact is that he chose to live in seclusion.

Siegfried, the king of the Netherlands, specially allocated a manor with beautiful mountains and rivers for him, allowing him to live his life well.

But at that time, no one could have imagined that there would be disasters befalling him who should have retired.

plague……

Ordinary people only know that a plague swept through the small town of Defentel, and this plague that would transform the living into ghouls spread from Diffintel, and later even spread into the abandoned city.

Unfortunately, Ragnar and his family, who lived near Diffenter, were infected.

Even the Pirate Queen Howler nearly died.

For most people, that's all they know.

But Dietrich knew more, because she was helping there as a witch.

So she knew that the source of the disease was actually beside Ragnar.

He himself exists as a breakthrough for the gods against the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

And he lost his wife in the plague that almost swept through the kingdom.

And even the eldest son ended up disabled and weak.

Even if the sage succeeded in saving the child's life by using the soul cutting operation in a whimsical way, he was helpless about other things.

At first, the sage predicted that the best condition for the child named Ivar would be to be unable to move his feet.

As for the upper body, it should be able to move with a little effort.

But it turns out he was too optimistic.

Because he didn't consider the damage caused by the plague, but only in terms of soul strength.

And the damage caused by the epidemic also made the child who was already extremely fragile fall to the root of the disease.

Not only is his soul weak, but his body is also fragile.

Although Huo De also prescribed a prescription to go out and not only took the medicine regularly every day, but the child was lying there like this, and it was extremely difficult for him to even eat.

This is unavoidably worrying.

Also because of this big blow, Ragnar, who should have been extremely strong, was depressed for a long time.

And even now, he can't be regarded as fully walking out.

This can be seen just by looking at his serious but dazed expression.

"Ugh……"

After seeing this scene, Studus on the side couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Although now, Ragnar is reporting the gifts from the Netherlands to today's protagonist: the triumphant king Dietrich.

Except for some gold and silver treasures, what is left is a series of various agreements that make people who are not interested listen to the head.

Commercial, military, diplomatic.

As for these, Studus himself obviously doesn't care.

Anyway, it has nothing to do with him, all he cares about is Ragnar from beginning to end.

"Once upon a time, he was also a good man."

Looking at the decadent appearance Ragnar is showing now, he couldn't help but whisper.

And after hearing what he said, Wolfhart also raised his head.

"Have you met Ragnar?"

"Well, I went to the Netherlands once with His Majesty, and met Ragnar there."
