We returned to the capital at noon on the third day...
Like the tribute team in Baha City, the tribute team led by Sean was warmly welcomed by the people of the capital, and the festive atmosphere in this city was quite strong.
Previously, at Sean's suggestion, workers could have a day off during the three days of the festival, so there were a lot of people on the streets... I listened to my name being called all the way into the palace, and in the process I paid a little more attention to the favorability of the people on both sides of the street.
No one of too low status showed up, which at least proved that the capital was safe for the time being.
Taking the diplomats from Keselk to the main hall, Sean only then noticed that Seria and Mudan had returned!
Pretty fast.
He came back after just a few days.
No matter how easy the rescue work is, it is not that simple. It probably took seven or eight days.
…
Sitting high in the hall, the Sun King praised his own actions before turning to look at Pike and the others.
"Are you the officials from Kselke?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. Our Emperor Sel has always been very concerned about exchanges with Jagun, especially his admiration for the High King... This year, he ordered us to bring some of our country's special products to pay homage to the High King."
There's always some official rhetoric to be had, but since no one present has probably ever been to such a faraway country, they can say whatever they want.
Sean completed his mission and walked alone up the stairs on the edge towards his own location.
At this moment, everyone's eyes in the hall were focused on Parker in the field, and not much attention was paid to himself.
look up,
Just then, I saw Seriya and Mudan looking over.
"Thank you for your hard work this time, brother."
When several people talk, the voices should be low so that others cannot hear.
Sometimes Sean felt that the entire hall was designed like this. What was said in the center could be heard by almost the entire hall. However, where the princes were, there was a slightly small arched structure, and no one except a few ministers in the front row could hear what was said there.
"Thank you for your hard work. Why are you back so early?"
After all, they are brothers and sisters, and as long as the Sun King is on the throne, the three of them will continue to communicate like this... even though their favorability levels are all [Neutral], and even though their emotions when speaking are tinged with [Question!] and [Curious!].
"I heard that the tribute team was hijacked by bandits, so I hurried back. I need some people to finish the finishing work over there."
"I just heard about it..."
Sai Riya followed Mu Dan and said.
"I see. Thank you so much for your hard work." As the eldest brother, Sean would say these words no matter what.
"Brother, have you found any clues about those robbers?"
Seria suddenly asked.
"I heard that all the deployments in the central cities were made according to my brother's requirements."
Only then did Sean understand the reason why the two of them came back. The news that the tribute team had been robbed had spread throughout the country within a day, and perhaps the entire desert area knew about it. If he was the person responsible for this matter, as long as he found the enemy, there would be no doubt that the evaluation he would receive would be much higher than if the two of them went to rescue them.
Tsk~
It really is...
I remember that when I came here, the two of them had good personalities. I don’t know who guided Seria and Mudan. They became so utilitarian in just a few months.
"No results yet, but we did find some clues. The other party once wanted to use mercenaries to eliminate the remaining forces that were trying to steal the tribute."
As the three chatted, the conversation also reached the point of reviewing the history of relations between the two countries...
Pike continued to show goodwill to the Sun King, and as a diplomat his opinions also represented the opinions of most people in the country of Kserk.
Since Jagun officially incorporated another large port in the south, Dansu Port, into its territory a few months ago, its position in maritime trade has far surpassed any other country in Adak. It can be said that trading with Jagun means trading with the desert countries. Therefore, Pike hopes to expand the scale of trade between the two countries and reduce tariffs, which will be conducive to exchanges between the people of the two countries.
He even represented Emperor Fangsel's instructions and hoped to sign a maritime cooperation alliance between the two countries in order to prevent possible third-party interference and piracy.
Just like the robber this time!
Even in a country like Jagun, unexpected events happen.
Of course, the Sun King would agree to such things first, and then the details would be slowly discussed with the ministers before being released...
Sean was listening to the suggestions from the two countries and suddenly asked out of curiosity.
"Aside from Kserk, are there any other maritime powers in the southern continent?" He looked at Seria beside him.
They will still answer this question.
"There are a few, but I'm not sure about their specific strengths... If you want to know, you can ask Master Griffin and the others."
It seems that even Prince Jagun and Princess Jagun don't know this knowledge.
This generation of countries is powerful enough to look down on the entire Adak region, but gradually they know less about the outside world. This is also Sean's most profound experience in the past few months.
Seeing that the conversation between Pike and the Sun King had ended, and at the end the Sun King said that he would definitely investigate the robbery and find the murderer to avenge the death of another diplomat.
This matter has already concerned the face of Jiagong's country and its reputation in other countries in the future, so even if we can't find it, we have to look for it... If it is really difficult, we can talk about it later.
Sean estimated that in the end those relevant personnel who had been caught would be dealt with publicly, otherwise how could they convince the public in the future.
…
After sending Pike away temporarily and dealing with other matters, the Sun King once again called the three princes and princesses to his bedroom, with the purpose of listening to the information he had collected.
"Tell me about the latest progress of the investigation, Sean."
He handed over all the intelligence he had received in the past few days to the other party, but Sean deliberately concealed the part about the ancient god believers.
"I had the cities in the central region expand their search, and they did find a lot of useful information. They even arrested one of the people involved in the robbery. This is what they told me..."
There are indeed people disguised as mercenaries in the bandit group.
Moreover, with so many people fighting against the tribute team, it was inevitable that some would be injured. It was based on this requirement that many mercenaries who participated at the time were found.
"Humph, these mercenaries are too free with them on a normal day, and now they dare to set their sights on tribute." The Sun King said dissatisfiedly.
"Father, why don't we take this opportunity to introduce a requirement to strengthen controls? Otherwise, who knows what they'll do next time."
“It’s time to tighten controls!”
"What do you think, Sean?" he asked suddenly.
