Chapter 203 Marienburg’s request for help
A few days later, several guests came to the Dragon Prince’s manor with a large number of gifts.
A human noble in yellow and blue clothing was sweating profusely and explained to the Caledor soldiers who stopped him that he had previously told the embassy that he wanted to see the Dragon Prince, and Alagir, as Imrik's representative, He also responded, so he came to visit with gifts, and while talking, he took out the medal of passage and documents issued by the Phoenix King's Court.
There are many people of other races in Lothern, but this is only in the outer city area, which is near the Strait of Lothern. Starting from the Emerald Gate, any outsider is prohibited from entering. If you want to enter Lothern through the Emerald Gate, you need to go to Lothern. The Phoenix Court made a series of complex and cumbersome applications, and in the hundreds of years since Fenubar's coronation, only a few people had received the Order of Passage.
Masno, who heard the movement at the door, came out of the manor and asked what was going on.
Seeing that he was the prince's personal guard, the soldiers explained the situation truthfully. This human being came here with a large number of gifts, but they were not notified in advance.
Masno took the document from the hands of the human nobles, opened it and found that it did have the seal of the embassy, but as Imrik's personal guard, he didn't know about it. Caledor had nothing to do with humans. Intersection, after all, you can't expect some elves who see the other kingdoms of Ulthuan as monkeys to deal with humans.
"Your identity and purpose." Masnow looked at the human in front of him. Although the document had stated that he was a noble from Marienburg in the West Territory of the Empire, he still wanted to confirm it again.
Bancroft did not know the dragon prince in front of him who was famous in Ulthuan, but when he saw the admiring eyes of other soldiers, he knew that he must be a big shot in Caledor. If he wanted to see the most powerful person in Ulthuan The dragon lord, it should be much easier with his help.
Seeing Masnow's inquiry, he quickly answered, "Dear Sir, my name is Bancroft, from the West Territory of the Sigma Empire. This trip is under the supervision of Lord Elspeth Magritta VI. On the order of the world, we asked Assur to support the old world. Kislev, far away from the center of the world, Ulthuan, is being invaded by Chaos. The Sigma Empire is also in danger, and the world is in urgent need of brave Assur warriors to save it."
Mary The Elvish language of the Enborg noble was very standard, and even had a Lothern accent that Masnow hated. Even though this person's tone was very respectful, the Dragon Prince could smell the stench of money and seaweed.
But this was not a reason to exclude this human being. Masnow handed the document to Bancroft and said, "You just stay here and wait, and I will ask His Highness for instructions." He received the document respectfully
. Come here, Bancroft has never really come into contact with Caledonians, he only knows a little bit from the mouths of other elves. These arrogant warriors use lances and swords to prop up their proud backs. This arrogance even makes other people Even the elves can't stand it. If this term is used to describe the Dragon Prince of Caledor, it represents an insult.
After meeting today, I found that this was indeed the case, but the merchant nobles who observed carefully felt the difference between Caledor and other kingdoms. He had been tricked by elves many times in many commercial transactions. Those elves were hiding behind the scenes. They respect you, but secretly they will despise and blackmail you fiercely. However, the Caledor elves in front of you don't even need to feel it, the arrogance and contempt are drowned in their eyes. "Sir, is the Dragon Prince really willing to meet us? According to the information we collected, he doesn't even look down on the Phoenix King." Bancroft returned to the carriage. His attendants were a little anxious and nervous. Under the command of the High Lord of Steland, many kingdoms in Ulthuan have been requested for support, but there has been no response. In the end, they had no choice but to focus on Caledor, the most unlikely one, but he did not expect that as a dragon Aragir, the court's talker, agreed to the request and asked them to take the documents to the Dragon Prince's estate.
"We have no choice." Bancroft sighed and continued, "The impact of the War of Three Emperors and the Vampire War has prevented the electors from uniting to fight against the threat of Chaos. The ancient dwarf allies guarded Their mountain fortress, thinking that they could avoid the coming danger, the Bretonnian knights continued their boring chivalry to launch an expedition against Araby. The threat of greenskins also prevented those wise lords from bringing people to support the north. We can only place our hope on the elves."
He was very nervous and had no confidence in this matter. From the information collected in his hands, Caledor, as the oldest and most powerful in Ulthuan, undoubtedly has the ability to turn the tide. This was demonstrated in the Battle of Fenouir Plains, but this combat power is also directly proportional to arrogance. The Empire only began to contact Caledor in the past two years. It is difficult to say whether the Dragon Prince will support the old world. Chaos invasion.
Just after everyone waited for twenty minutes, the dragon prince came out and said to Bancroft, "Human, you can come in, but everyone else needs to stay where they are, and they are not allowed to move around during this period. Bancroft
nodded, and then planned to pick up a box from the attendant. This was a precious gift to be given to the Dragon Prince, but just as he was picking it up, he heard Masnot say, "Put down what you are holding." "It's already a great honor for you to enter the prince's manor. Don't try to confuse this honor with this kind of thing."
He was very embarrassed by Masnot's words. He really didn't expect these Caledonians to compare. He is even more arrogant in his imagination. Even if he comes to give gifts, he must be treated with great honor. This will undoubtedly bring greater psychological pressure to the merchants and nobles who will meet the Dragon Prince next. They need to always pay attention to the rigor and respect of their words. , otherwise he might die here.
Following Masnow into the manor, Bancroft only dared to look at the environment of the manor with his peripheral vision. First of all, there was a large training ground. Many wooden racks where weapons were placed were filled with sophisticated spears and swords. , obviously the owner here is very keen on fighting, and the dragon signs that can be seen everywhere remind visitors who the owner here is.
If it were the responders he had met before, he would have the confidence to rely on his years of business experience to inquire about the preferences of the Dragon Prince. From the sight of Masnuo's stern face blocked by the dragon helmet, he knew that the inquiry would have no results. On the contrary, Will cause resentment.
"This place is more like a military camp than a manor." Bancroft sighed in his heart for a moment. He saw only a few servants along the way. There were no incense burners and gardens that are usually seen in aristocratic manors. There was a faint smell of sulfur.
After walking for more than ten minutes, he finally saw the Dragon Prince.
