There are two types of followers.
The first type is people who are absorbed into the family because of their own strong strength and unique personal values.
These people either have extraordinary abilities or outstanding performance in a certain field and have made important contributions to the family.
They often become the confidants and right-hand men of the family patriarch and have a relatively high status.
Shirley could barely be considered one of these people.
The other type is like Victor, who is slightly weaker in strength and has not made any particularly significant contributions, but has a closer relationship with the family and can be accepted as a follower first.
Although they can nominally enjoy the glory brought by the family surname, they cannot actually obtain the surname bestowed by the lord.
However, in essence, there is not much difference between the two. After all, not many nobles want to become someone else's subjects. Most people prefer to obtain titles through their own efforts and achieve independent rule.
So on the surface they all belong to the Amethyst Rose family.
This also gave Victor the qualifications to propose marriage to the Binbinhua family.
Moreover, Krober also promised to go to the Binbinhua family in person to propose marriage, which shows how much Krober values him.
In some ways, this is much more useful than giving a surname.
"I……"
Victor's lips trembled, and his voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement:
"Thank you, sir!"
This sentence seemed to have taken up all the strength in the body, and these few short words were filled with sincere gratitude.
Just as Krober was about to continue talking to Victor, he suddenly heard a burst of hurried footsteps.
Then a soldier hurried up to them.
The soldier's name is Werner, and he is one of the soldiers responsible for patrolling the coastline.
He said to Krober anxiously:
"Sir, there's an emergency! The Sea Tribe has suddenly sent an envoy to discuss some important matters with us.
As a gesture of sincerity, they are currently waiting at the port for your next instructions.
After hearing this, Krober's face darkened slightly.
The sea people have been the enemy of mankind since ancient times, but since humans unified the continent, the sea people have gradually disappeared.
Now, the sea tribe actually took the initiative to send a group of envoys to visit him, which made him feel a little surprised.
However, he still asked calmly:
"How many people are there in the envoy group? Are they armed?"
Werner replied:
"There are about a dozen emissaries, seemingly unarmed. Some of them look similar to Ego, though the leader appears to be human."
Ego is the name of the male Naga.
Do humans still exist?
Krober had his doubts in his heart, but on the surface he just nodded slightly to show that he understood.
"Go to the banquet hall and find Hyer and ask him to gather the soldiers and prepare for defense immediately."
After saying that, he turned his gaze to Victor.
"You are responsible for integrating the Dragon Breath Knights and giving those sea creatures a good warning."
The Dragon's Breath Knights, the first honor guard of the Golden Duchy, are definitely an excellent tool in diplomatic occasions.
"yes!"
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
After briefly giving the task, Krober prepared to take Shirley and the Dragon Breath Knights to deal with the uninvited sea clan delegation.
Not knowing the enemy's strength, Krober mainly sought stability and decided to take out all the high-end combat forces in the territory.
Soon, Victor gathered the other members of the Dragon Breath Knights, and they lined up neatly.
Victor stood on Krober's left, Shirley stood on Krober's right, and the two great knights, Yan and Foster, also stood behind Krober.
At the end of the team were the other members of the Dragon's Breath Knights, who wore uniform plate armor and exuded a powerful aura.
These plates shine with metallic luster, giving people a sense of majesty.
As they headed towards the port area, many people were shocked by this powerful team.
"Oh my God! What's going on? Is there going to be a war?"
A middle-aged woman was hanging clothes in the yard. She looked up after hearing the sound of armor colliding, and happened to see Kroeber leading everyone to the port.
The man in the house also heard his wife's scream and hurried out of the house. After seeing this scene, he quickly pulled his wife back into the room.
"Shut up! Keep quiet! No one of us should go out today. Let's all stay at home."
This man was one of the male members of the Sea People tribe. After that bloody massacre, he could naturally see that the atmosphere on the island had gradually become solemn.
His intuition told him that something big was definitely going to happen on Amethyst Island.
For the safety of his family, he specifically told them not to leave the house.
After hearing what her husband said, the middle-aged woman came to her senses and nodded blankly.
"good."
Since the weakest members of the team were all official knights, they headed to the port very quickly and reached the port area in just over ten minutes.
It must be said that the port area, as one of the key construction areas of Amethyst Island, is indeed worthy of the manpower and material resources invested during this period.
The building materials of the port itself are the same as those of Rose Castle, both of which are built mainly with bluestone.
Roads, houses, and shops are all made of bluestone.
A tall lighthouse stands on the left side of the harbor, guiding the ships passing by.
At this time, the group of sea tribe envoys were pointing and talking on the road closest to the lighthouse, as if they were full of curiosity about this building they had never seen before.
From a distance, the number of people in this delegation was about the same as the number reported by the soldiers, about eleven to twelve people. The leader was indeed a human, wearing a black knight's uniform.
For some reason, Krober always smelled a disgusting odor from him.
However, this was not his own subjective judgment, but this breath caused the soul contract between Krober and Shen Zi to tremble. Through the soul contract, Krober sensed Shen Zi's disgust, which affected his own subjective emotions.
"Krober, be careful. The human in front of you is a Dark Patron. That familiar stench...tsk...it really disgusts dragons."
Krober didn't expect that the person in front of him could wake Shen Zi from his slumber, and showed an expression of...um...disgust.
"Dark Patron? What is this?"
Krober had never heard of this term before, so he quickly asked Shen Zi in his heart.
Unexpectedly, Deep Purple never responded after saying that. Through the mental contract, Krober discovered that it had fallen into a deep sleep again.
“I fell asleep so quickly…”
Kroeber thought to himself.
