Although she said that, Vashj did not express her thoughts.
On the contrary, she even put on a friendly smile and said:
"Since Lord Krober is unwilling to sign an alliance, then forget it. I was indeed a bit too abrupt."
Vashj paused and continued the topic.
"However, I have come here with great sincerity this time, hoping to start a trade with the Amethyst Islands..."
Before she could finish her words, the maid behind her took out a rolled-up parchment and handed it to Yan who was waiting beside her.
After getting the parchment, Yan first examined it carefully.
After finally confirming that this was just an ordinary parchment and that the Naga tribe had not done anything to it, they presented it to Krober.
Krober opened the parchment, which contained many regulations densely written in the common language of mankind.
Among them, the following points attracted Kroeber's attention:
1. The Amethyst Islands will formally confirm diplomatic relations with the Naga clan on behalf of the Golden Duchy. In exchange, the Naga clan will recognize Krober's sovereignty over the southwestern region of the Azure Sea.
2. After the two sides confirm diplomatic relations, the Naga people hope that trade between the two sides can be fully opened.
3. The Naga tribe will set up an embassy on Amethyst Island and appoint the only remaining royal bloodline of the Naga tribe as a representative to live on Amethyst Island all year round.
However, the Amethyst Islands also have to establish an embassy on the Naga territory and appoint equally important personnel as ambassadors to reside in the Naga territory.
To be honest, this diplomatic regulation does not seem to be difficult at all. Some of the things the Naga tribe demands are within the normal range.
Whether it is trade or embassy, these are necessary conditions for establishing diplomatic relations between two countries.
But first of all, Kroebuck still needs to make it clear to Vashj.
"Lord Vashj, I have read your document and there are generally no problems.
However, regarding the first point, I cannot currently make a promise to you on behalf of the Golden Duchy. I can only maintain our relationship with you as the Earl of the Amethyst Islands."
Although at the Dragon Riding Ceremony, both Alvis and Veronica agreed that the affairs of the Blue Sea would be unified after the founding of Krober.
But he is not a real dragon knight yet, and he has not established an independent country.
For things like this, Krober still needs to ask Veronica and get her consent.
But Krober also showed his sincerity, which was to establish diplomatic relations with the Naga tribe in the name of the Earl of Amethyst Islands and himself.
Anyway, he was the only one among the seven kingdoms who had set his sights on the blue sea, while everyone else was still fighting for land on the continent.
With the current shipbuilding technology of the Seven Kingdoms, being able to safely sail from Black Feather Island to Amethyst Island is already the limit.
With Amethyst Island as the center, it can radiate to the surrounding islands.
After all, there are not many islands in the southwest region of the entire Blue Sea, and there is a vast ocean to the north or east of Scorched Earth Island.
If Kroeber wants to expand his territory again, he will probably have to innovate the existing ship technology.
This is also one of the drawbacks of island kingdom civilization, which is that it relies too much on ships.
Some basic things all rely on ships to transport.
Without ships, you can't expect the dragon to transport people and resources.
Just thinking about that scene makes me feel dizzy.
The dragon and the knight signed a partnership contract, which means that the status of the two is equal.
If the knight forces the dragon to do something it doesn't want to do, the dragon will also get angry.
Vashj wasn't surprised to hear what Krobel said.
Because she had not known about Krobe's dragon riding, the main political focus was still on the Golden Duchy behind him.
But now Krober's strength has undergone earth-shaking changes, so he is qualified to establish diplomatic relations with the Naga tribe.
After all, Vashj just wanted to use this incident to test the current attitude of the human kingdom towards the Naga.
Although she had sensed the human kingdom's hostility towards the Naga from what Krober had said before, since Krober agreed to allow both sides to conduct trade and establish an embassy, this meant that the human kingdom behind him should not have taken any action against the Naga in the near future.
And according to her observation, it seems that this young human dragon knight does not actually have much hostility towards the Naga.
"Okay, since Lady Vashj has no objection, after the banquet I will have the Chief Clerk draft two new diplomatic agreements, written in both Human Common and Sea People's languages."
Krober gently raised his glass and made a polite toast in Vashj's direction.
Vashj naturally had some understanding of human etiquette. She knew that this was a way for humans to express respect and friendliness and increase their sense of security.
So she also raised her glass, responded to Krober's action, and took a sip of the wine in the glass.
The rich aroma of wine spread in her mouth, and the sweet taste made Vashj's eyes light up.
Kroeber, who had been sitting in a chair and observing, naturally also noticed this subtle detail.
"This is Jade Wine from the Jade Kingdom, although it's not as expensive as Summer Red.
But from the perspective of sweetness and aroma, I think Jade Wine is much better than Summer Red.
If Lady Vashj likes it, I will have Yan select a few bottles from the warehouse as a gift for you."
Vashj did not answer his question. She gently shook the wine glass in her hand, and the scarlet wine slowly swirled in the glass, as if dancing.
"Speaking of gifts, Mr. Krober's words just reminded me.
Go and give the gift I have prepared to Lord Krober."
The second half of the sentence was given by Vashj to the maid beside her.
"yes."
The maid bowed slightly, and her six arms slowly took out a box with a small coral on it.
Looking at this familiar gift, Krober began to estimate the general strength of the Naga tribe in his mind.
The strength of the Naga tribe currently displayed before him is the combat power of two dragons and a dragon knight.
But he wasn't sure if that was all. How many dragons were there in the Naga tribe? How many dragon riders were there?
He knew nothing about this information.
Before the strength is clearly understood, Krober still plans to focus on maintaining the relationship between the two parties.
So he smiled happily and asked his butler Yan to take the gift and send it to his collection library.
"Lady Vashj's gift is novel, but I've never dealt with the Naga before, let alone dragons. I wonder what kind of dragon you've contracted..."
Kroeber also has a habit of asking questions when he doesn't understand something.
His knowledge of sea dragons was limited to what he read in books. He only knew that sea dragons were a type of dragon that lived in the ocean, but their combat power was much weaker than that of giant dragons.
Moreover, it has no four claws and no wings, and its combat power is weak.
Therefore, magicians generally believe that sea dragons are the result of the degeneration of giant dragons in ancient times after they fled the continent and lived in the ocean.
