Chapter 350: Envoy of Loen
On a quiet and solemn evening, a luxurious carriage slowly drove into the center of the emerging city of Nasir.
The carriage was pulled by two majestic red horses. They held their heads high and walked with steady and powerful steps. The sound of horse hooves echoed on the stone road, like ancient war drums, shaking people's hearts.
That is not an ordinary horse, but a special horse that has been optimized and bred and has the bloodline of Warcraft.
Although the church has strict regulations prohibiting the large-scale breeding of Warcraft, animals with Warcraft bloodlines have always been on the edge of the regulations.
The golden shaft sparkled in the sun, forming a sharp contrast with the dark red color of the vehicle body.
The body of the carriage is carved with exquisite patterns, and every detail reveals the noble luxury. If you look closely, you will find that the exquisite pattern actually flows slowly.
It was a flow effect created by a special alchemical technique, which was rare in Syat but very popular in Loen.
The car curtain was gently lifted, revealing a corner of the car. The soft seat cushions were covered with exquisite velvet, exuding a faint fragrance. Exquisite tea sets and snacks were placed in the car.
The owner of the carriage was Viscount Johnville.
His face was slightly broad, with firm lines, like a carefully carved ancient sculpture, and his eyes revealed calmness and majesty.
The Syat people's extraordinary aristocracy system was originally borrowed from the Loen Empire. As a viscount, John Will is actually an extraordinary person who has achieved a qualitative change.
However, he would rather call it "deterioration". Unlike the smooth reforms in the four eastern countries, at least in the Loen Empire, there are more people saying that the reforms are "deteriorating".
The Lorn Empire is undoubtedly the most powerful supernatural empire in the world of Krad. They have even conquered several other continents and even many lands in other worlds. The area of their colonies is many times the area of their native land on the Oden continent.
Although the Qiyao Empire could barely resist the offensive of the Loen people, its overall strength could never be comparable to that of the Loen Empire.
Especially in the past hundred years or so, the power of the Loen people has made a leap forward. If it weren't for the sudden emergence of the Seven Stars Emperor, whose extraordinary power was too strong and who undoubtedly possessed the strongest power, the Seven Stars Empire would probably have been defeated by the Loen people long ago.
Viscount Johnville gazed around and said:
"This is my first time to a small place like the East Coast Province of Syat. It seems better than I thought, only slightly worse than the capital of your Syat."
"I originally thought that this was really just a fishing village."
Another person in the carriage smiled and said slowly: "Decades ago, Nasir was indeed a small town that made a living by fishing."
"But my family changed all that."
"I believe you. Your family must be a very good family, just like you."
Finally, Viscount Johnville stepped out of the magnificent carriage. He was wearing an exquisite robe, the hem of which fluttered gently with his steps.
However, when he stepped onto the city streets, a look of dissatisfaction still appeared on his face.
Viscount Johnville looked around, frowning slightly. The hustle and bustle of the city made him feel uncomfortable, and the dust and mess on the streets were incompatible with his noble temperament. He glanced at the busy vendors and pedestrians, and his eyes were displeased by their vulgar behavior and noisy conversations.
He coughed lightly, trying to dispel the dust and odor in the air, and gently stroked the hem of his clothes, as if trying to wipe away the roughness and mess he touched.
Although Viscount Johnville maintained the elegance and composure of an aristocrat on his face, his eyes revealed a subtle hint of criticism and dissatisfaction.
"Well, it's better than most colonies, but this city... well, I shouldn't be too picky."
The servants behind him followed closely, with a bit of confusion and dissatisfaction on their faces. They were used to the refined life in the capital of the Loen Empire and felt somewhat uncomfortable with such an environment.
Viscount Johnville stopped and looked through the bustling crowd towards the Fisher Manor in the distance, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.
He took a deep breath and straightened his clothes, preparing to face this city that was out of place for him, while also preparing to show his demeanor as an imperial envoy.
The man who was also sitting in the carriage just now was now following behind Viscount Johnville.
Carnot Fischer.
That man had helped him by chance a few years ago when he came to visit the capital of Siat. Cano Fisher had given him an important prophecy, and Viscount Johnville saved his family with the help of this prophecy.
In return, he gave Kano Fisher a chance to help communicate with the power of the Lorne people to help the Fisher family.
Viscount Johnville turned around, looked at Cano and said:
"Mr. Kano, I don't know much about the Syat people. For various reasons, the Loen people have never paid much attention to the four eastern countries. The books just say that you are defeated barbarians... But after seeing you, I feel that this is not the case. Even the Syat people have the same qualities as the Loen people."
"Thank you for your compliment, Viscount Johnville."
Kano smiled, feeling the other party's arrogance at all times, and felt a little ironic deep in his heart.
The Syat people studied the Loen people every day, were hostile to them, and even thought that apart from the Qi Yao, the Syat people were the Loen people's mortal enemies.
But for most of the people of Loen, they just knew that there was such a country and nation in the east, and that was all.
Even if you tell some uneducated people in Lorn that you are a Syat, they will most likely express confusion and ask which area of Lorn is Syat?
"Because of Mr. Kano's invitation, I came to the Fisher Family..."
Viscount Johnville had just said this when he was interrupted by Kano shaking his head.
"That's a lie."
"Lord Johnville, for the sake of our friendship, please stop lying to me. How can a national event of this magnitude be decided based on our personal relationship?"
After he finished speaking, he stared at the other person seriously, and Viscount Johnville coughed, without any embarrassment, and continued:
"Haha, that's true... It's because of the will of His Majesty that I came here. It's just because of my relationship with you that I fought for the opportunity to become the imperial envoy to Syat."
Viscount Johnville smiled.
"But just like you said, regardless of whether we have a personal relationship or not, the Empire has already had some ideas about the situation in Syat, and many people here need help."
Cano nodded slightly and said, "That's definitely not a bad thing for Fischer."
Soon, Viscount Johnville and Cano arrived at Fisher Manor and came to the reception room.
Kano met his relatives whom he hadn't seen for a long time again. His father Chris nodded calmly, without any intention of blaming him, while his elderly mother Vanessa suddenly came over and hugged him.
"Kano, you're finally back, that's great, we've been missing you... What happened to your hair and face? How many times did you use it to confirm the prophecy?"
There was surprise in Vanessa's words, and Kano instantly smiled bitterly. He was very sure that his predictions were used at the right time and he had no regrets at all.
But in my mother's eyes, I will always be a child...
Those signs of aging would definitely make the mother heartbroken.
Byrne walked forward, looked at the visitor from Lorn, and politely extended his hand and said:
"Welcome, Viscount Johnville of Lorne. I am Bayne Fisher, the head of the Fisher family."
Viscount Johnville was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "You know my name?"
“I’ve heard of it by chance.”
Byrne smiled and nodded slightly.
In fact, he had never heard of John Weir beforehand. He had just activated the power of the "Ancient Researcher" - the "Eye of Vision into the Past". The other party was just a transcendent who had undergone a qualitative change, and a considerable amount of his past had been seen by Byrne.
The information was very useful, and Byrne instantly understood many things about the Loen Empire.
Very good, even more useful than the knowledge learned from books.
Lord Johnville said:
"Let me be direct. Lord Byrne, the people of Lorne want to provide you with some assistance."
With a dignified look on his face, he said loudly:
"We have heard about the story of the Quiet Words and the Yadley royal family. We already know that your country has reached the final moment of life and death. Now we are all people favored by the righteous gods, so we must stand on a united front."
"Our respected Majesty has decided to give you and the Roman family enough assistance to help you win this war, and all this is for the people of Siat and the great gods! We are undoubtedly the righteous side!"
Byrne nodded and responded:
"I understand. First of all, I am very grateful to His Majesty the Emperor of Loen. His kindness has touched all the Siat people. Secondly, I want to know an important thing, which is how should we repay the kindness of these aids?"
Viscount Johnville's smile became even more eye-catching. He seemed very happy that Byrne was so direct in his topic, so he nodded, took out a list from his arms and said:
"It's very simple. We just need some local products from Syat and want to rent some land. That's all. These are all necessary costs... Here is a list drawn up by the Parliament of the Lorne Empire. It will give Lord Byrne a quick and clear understanding."
Byrne took the list with a smile, looked at the various resources and lands on the list, and fell into silence for a long time.
He finally shook his head and said, "I am very grateful to His Majesty the Emperor of the Loen Empire and your parliament, but my answer, or the answer of the Siat people, is... no."
Viscount Johnville was stunned for a moment, narrowed his eyes and said:
"Mr. Byrne, you actually choose to refuse? Haha, I don't think this is the right answer. You know, everything in the world has a price. The support of the empire is like the power of a forbidden wonder. It will be of great help to you..."
"Perhaps, you are giving up on using the most powerful forbidden wonder in the world!"
"You may think that the price is too high to bear, but we can still continue to negotiate these things. In fact, all the extraordinary people know one thing..."
"Those extraordinary people who are too timid to use forbidden items are often the first to die."
