Heavenly Dao Formula

Chapter 518 First contact

Latherin saw the Nattatin warship sailing towards the harbor from a distance.

To be honest, he was a little guilty in his heart. Everyone knows the strength of the Siristi Dynasty. A capital ship means at least one high-level talent and several red-robed mages are sitting in command, and there may be several second- and third-level gunboats behind. If these people really plan to follow It doesn't matter whether he wins or loses in Azure Fort's battle, he will definitely suffer if he rushes forward.

But as the harbor defense officer and the baron of the Cracked Tooth family, it was impossible for him to remain indifferent when he received the warning from his subordinates. In case the harbor is really looted, but he chooses to sit on the sidelines, the end will not be much better. Dismissal is inevitable, and maybe he will be expelled from the family because of insulting honor. For Dragonborn, it is no different from death.

Therefore, Ratherin could only bite the bullet and rush forward.

Perhaps people forgot to notify in advance, which may have led to this misunderstanding.

After all, all the disputes between the two countries he heard were in the distant sea, and such things as attacking the port should not fall on him.

The closer he was to the battleship, the closer Lathein's heart was to his throat.

Until I saw a dragon jumping up from the boat.

Suddenly he let out a sigh of relief.

The presence of a dragonborn proves that the other party is not coming for Azure Fort. He couldn't help complaining a few words in his heart, why didn't you fly earlier?

The next moment, Ratherin regained his defense officer's aura and let out a long roar towards the person who came.

"Come by name!"

"Olina Okan, an adult dragonborn."

The latter roared back—the voice was actually a woman.

Orkan is her family name, and adulthood represents her secular status and ability—just like mages use the color of their robes to distinguish their ranks, and the older the dragonborn, the stronger they are.

However, Ratherin didn't have much impression of the Okan family.

This shows that the other party's background is not high.

Thinking of this, his heart was completely relieved, "This is the defense of Azure Castle, I order your ship to stop immediately, and you must not take a step closer to the harbor without permission!"

"I brought not the Nattatins, but the Eastern Ambassador." Olina paused in front of him, "According to the Diplomatic Code, Azure Fort should be treated with corresponding courtesy!"

ambassador? from the east? Latherin was taken aback for a moment, isn't that a bunch of primitive people?

In all kinds of rumors, Orientals appear as dull, eccentric, xenophobic, and slovenly. The beard and hair are like family heirlooms, and they will never be easily shaved off. They wear robes and gowns all day long, obsessed with their own three-acre land, and rarely look outside the mainland. When the Dragonborn took the center of the world and sailed their fleets to the ends of the sea, they didn't even have a decent fleet. What is even more unbelievable is that they are not even willing to establish fixed commercial routes with the Tranquility Sea countries, and the few ships that travel between the two places are just scattered personal behaviors.

In Sea of ​​Tranquility, no commerce means poverty and backwardness.

Didn't expect such a kingdom to send envoys to the Holy Wing Islands?

Ratherin couldn't help feeling interested. He wanted to see what the messengers of the primitive people would do.

"In that case, take me to meet the ambassador."

Under the instructions of the harbor defense officer, the flying shear fleet changed direction, from a diagonal formation to a parallel escort, but the gun doors were still open, and the meaning of stalking was self-evident.

The two dragons landed on the poop deck one after the other.

Xia Fan has already been waiting here.

"This is Ratherin Cracked Tooth, the Harbor Defense Officer." Olina introduced to both parties, "And this is the Ambassador of the East, the Consul of the Qi Kingdom, the Thunder Envoy of Nine Heavens, and Your Excellency Xia Fan." She took out two documents and unfolded them in front of Latherin, "I am ordered by the Prime Minister to serve as the foreign affairs officer of Qiguo, so I am fully responsible for the trip of the Eastern Ambassador. The official document is here, and the stamp on it is It was built by the monarch of Qiguo. According to the regulations, the seaport should open the waterway to the king's capital for him, so please also tell the lord of Azure Fort that the White Sand needs to enter the inland river."

Ratherin didn't look at the document at all.

He is only a defense officer and is not responsible for identifying the authenticity of the messenger's identity. The first thing he saw was Olina Okan who had transformed into a human form.

Silver hair, gray pupils, small bridge of nose, bright red lips... She is a beauty.

Although Okan was not a common surname, it was a surprise discovery that she didn't have much of a country bumpkin in her body. You must know that dragon descendants are inherited by blood, and whether they can become dragons has nothing to do with ability. In the process, there will inevitably be some crooked people, or low-minded and vulgar people.

It seems that we can get in touch with her more in the future.

After admiring Olina's appearance, Ratherin turned his attention to the Oriental.

With a thin physique and a light complexion, he can tell that he has lived indoors for a long time, no different from those mages who are sneaky. In addition, just like the rumors, the other party wore long hair on the top of his head, and would rather tie it up with a cloth band than shave it off; he was wearing a robe that was not of inferior quality, but it was not suitable for sailing or fighting.

Thinking of this, he unconsciously raised the corners of his eyes a little more.

However, the other party was a messenger after all, and Latherin could only stretch out his hand perfunctorily, "Welcome to the Holy Wing Islands, and may the sun god Hera light your way forward."

"Thank you." Xia Fan raised his hand to shake him, "I don't know when I can go to the capital?"

oh? I didn't expect this person to speak the common language. This made Lassein change his mind a little more—to be able to master a language other than his mother tongue is a gesture of outward expansion.

Having said that, he found that there were many elves on the ship, and there was a half-beast woman standing beside the ambassador, which was considered a meaty thing.

"I can't answer your question, it's up to the lord to decide. As long as the documents are true, I believe he will meet you soon. But before that, the ship has to undergo a comprehensive inspection, and I will send soldiers to board the ship and take care of it Ships..."

"Veto, you have no right to do this!"

Before Lathein finished speaking, Olina interrupted him.

"Ma'am, I am responsible for the security of the harbor. I can exercise my authority wherever there are any security risks."

"But this is a ship carrying foreign ambassadors. According to the diplomatic code, every inch of the ship is a self-government, and anyone is prohibited from interfering for any reason." As a dragon-born nobleman, you should know that the code of law itself is a common contract of the Tranquility Sea nations, do you want to violate this agreement?"

Hell, shouldn't this person be on the side of the Holy Wing Islands and cheat the other side?

As long as Olina doesn't speak, how could this foreigner named Xia Fan know about the code.

Why is she still sincerely protecting the interests of her Orientals?

Ratherin frowned secretly. He didn't have the guts to say that he blatantly violated the code, but now that it was a matter of face, he didn't want to make concessions in front of the other party.

"You're right, but that's relative to the general diplomatic situation. I have reason to suspect that this ship does not belong to the normal situation—" Ruthering paused and glanced at the whole ship, "An obvious problem That is, why did the envoys from the east come on the warships of the Kingdom of Nattatin?"

Battleships are usually not for sale. Even if those bumpkins from the mainland have money, it is impossible to buy a first-class ship of the empire. Putting such a large ship in the various fleets of the Holy Wing Islands is also the flagship choice.

"Because it's a spoil of war." Xia Fan replied with a smile, "If the Nattatin Kingdom doesn't trouble us, I really don't have a good ship to come to your country."

"So that's how it is...wait a minute," Lassein stared suddenly, "What did you say? Trophy!?"

"That's right. Governor Nattating invaded Qi Kingdom's waters and tried to attack cities on land. Unfortunately, he overestimated his own strength. Not only did he die in battle, but he also sent several large ships to his door."

This guy...is he singing?

A fleet led by the governor will encounter a big defeat in the primitive east?

Rather, he suspected for a moment that something was wrong with his ears.

He subconsciously looked at Olina, and the latter not only did not correct it, but nodded instead.

"If you still have doubts, we have another person who can confirm this." Xia Fan clapped his hands, "Captain Flin, please tell the defense officer your story."

I wish you a happy Dragon Boat Festival!
