Lord: Start with the Pioneer Knight

After crossing the King's Street, the carriage stopped in the central square.

Under the gaze of tens of thousands of people, Verin got off the carriage and led Kyle towards the location of the Teton King and Teton Queen several hundred meters away.

Standing in front of the two leaders of the Teton Kingdom, Verin slightly bent forward and saluted them, his movements were elegant and solemn.

"Your Majesty Merezacli, Queen Elsa, I am Verin Akers, Ambassador of the Expeditionary Force. This is an official letter signed by the Commander-in-Chief of the Expeditionary Force, Duke of East."

Kyle took a step forward and handed the red book to the other party.

Elsa let go of her husband's hand and took the red book from Kyle with both hands to show the Teton royal family's respect for the expeditionary force.

"Ambassador Verin, welcome to your arrival." Merezacli said gently with a smile on his face, and his eyes showed friendliness and kindness, which made people feel warm and reassuring.

Seeing this, Weilin also smiled and responded in a gentle tone: "Your Majesty, I feel the sincerity of the Teton Kingdom from this welcome ceremony and look forward to the subsequent negotiations."

"Ambassador Weilin, I have held a welcome party for you at the palace, please come with me."

Seeing his wife's hint, Merezacli stopped being polite and took the initiative to invite.

"It's my pleasure."

Verin responded with a smile, and at the invitation of the other party, walked side by side with Merezakli.

This move spread two meanings to the outside world. One is that the relationship between the royal family and the expeditionary force is harmonious, and the interests of the royalist faction will be protected; the other is that the expeditionary force comes with sincerity and is unwilling to start a war in the Teton Kingdom, conveying a message Important Beliefs - Faith belongs to the gods, power belongs to the secular.

After crossing the palace gate, Verin read a lot of meanings under Merezacli's enthusiastic introduction.

The royal family of the Teton Kingdom used the plants placed in the palace to convey a message to Verin. As long as the Teton Kingdom is still ruled by the Getworth family, the royal family will support all actions of the expeditionary force in the Teton Kingdom.

Since the meeting between Verin and Merezakli, the negotiations between the expeditionary force and the Teton Kingdom have begun.

Facing the goodwill conveyed by the Getworth family, Verin did not respond immediately. He could not rush to show his attitude, otherwise he would lose part of his negotiating initiative.

During the "friendly" exchange, Verin arrived at the banquet location - a garden full of flowers. Dozens of ministers and nobles lined up on both sides in an orderly manner, with kind smiles on their faces.

"Ambassador Verin, this is the Finance Minister of the Kingdom of Teton..." Merezakli pointed to an old man standing on the left and introduced.

"I've met Ambassador Verin." The old man bent down and saluted, but his eyes showed determination and a hint of humiliation, but he hid it well and did not let others notice.

Verin nodded and responded politely.

Under the introduction of Merezakli, the King of Teton, Verin got a rough understanding of the representatives of the various upper-level power groups in the Teton Kingdom.

Nine palace ministers, nine dukes, fifteen military marquises, the Getworth family, plus the five excluded archbishops of the Church of Storms, together formed the upper class of power in the Teton Kingdom.

The aristocratic system implemented by the Kingdom of Teton is contrary to the mainstream ruling system of the Southern Caribbean continent. The only title is duke. Earl and baron are the titles of territorial nobles. Viscount and marquis are the titles of military nobles.

Therefore, the Teton Kingdom, which believes in the God of Storms, has survived tenaciously in the northwestern region of Nangaxia, where the God of Beasts is the mainstream belief, and retained its huge land area.

Half an hour later, the banquet was officially held under the auspices of Teton Queen Elsa Getworth.

During the banquet, when faced with the Teton nobles who came to chat, Weilin welcomed them all with a smile. He pretended not to understand the hints that he wanted to get a promise from him, and let the other party back out.

As he walked through the banquet, Verin showed a sophistication that belied his age.

Although I usually like to be lazy, I have learned some basic skills, and with these years of practice, I am honored to call myself an "old fox".

At night, Weilin, led by a team of guards, came to a manor in the northern part of Teton City.

"Ambassador Verin, this is the Cummins Manor, known as the art pearl of the Teton Kingdom. It is the residence arranged by the king for you and your entourage. It contains tens of thousands of art collections and various strange objects." Rogier's face With a smile, he stood next to Weilin and introduced him enthusiastically, "Your Majesty and the Queen have asked you to take away any art exhibits you like as long as you like them."

"Your Excellency Rogier, His Majesty Merezacli and Queen Elsa really said that." Verin's heart was like a mirror, but he pretended to be curious on the surface, looking up and down at Cummins Manor.

Rogier observed the other party's expression and replied with a smile: "As the ambassador of the expeditionary force, you are the most distinguished guest of the Teton Kingdom. It will be our honor if you like the cultural and art collections of our kingdom."

"Your Excellency Rogier, can you take me around Cummins Manor?" Weilin invited with a big smile on his face.

Faced with the exchange of host and guest, Rogier didn't care, nodded and agreed, and took over the position of temporary housekeeper.

Under the guidance of Rogier, Verin, Kyle and 24 guards entered Cummins Manor and began to visit this artistic pearl of the Teton Kingdom.

Stepping into the door, four pictures are displayed in front of you. Magical ink is attached to the paper, conveying a quiet and peaceful atmosphere to the outside.

"Your Excellency, the painting on the left is called "White Moon Rising". It was created by Ellis Carey, the Holy Seal Knight, on White Moon Mountain two thousand years ago to commemorate our country's victory over the invasion of the Kingdom of Skalloway and the defense of the Kingdom of Teton. spirit.”

"The painting in the middle is called..."

Under Rogier's explanation, Weilin's inner thoughts gradually dissipated, and he followed the other man's footsteps and began to visit the corridor where 3,000 oil paintings and slate paintings were hung.

Kyle followed Verin the whole time, acting as a guard.

As for the escort team of twenty-four silver knights, they went to rest under the leadership of the head maid of Cummins Manor.

Before you know it, the night is getting darker, the moon and stars are scarce, and everything is silent.

They had covered less than one-tenth of the three-kilometer-long gallery.

Weilin reminded softly: "Your Excellency Rogier, it's getting late."

Rogier raised his head and looked at the bright moon hanging outside the gallery, and found that he was already halfway there. He then stopped and said with a smile: "Ambassador Verin, if you are interested in these fine works of art, you can send someone to see me tomorrow. "
