However, Roddy did not intend to protest now that Lassman was deliberately making things difficult for him. Although his current identity was the "envoy of the Kingdom of Karen," Roddy did not intend to act like an ordinary diplomat. Because he was the head of Eiffta, or even the "first in command," he did not need to consult anyone on diplomatic decisions.
His attitude was Eiffta's attitude.
Before he left, he deliberately asked Houdini to conceal his identity and report to the Lassman Council that he was an "ordinary envoy." The reason why Roddy did this was to see Lassman's "real" attitude. This "attitude" would, to a large extent, determine Roddy's future diplomatic plans with Lassman.
As for the royal family of the Kingdom of Karen, it would sooner or later be swept into the trash heap of history. This time, Roddy directly came under the banner of the "Kingdom of Karen." As for the difference between Eiffta and the royal family, there was no need to explain it at all.
The ship slowly approached, and the capital of the Kingdom of Lassman appeared clearly in front of Roddy.
The prosperity of the port city was very impactful in this era. The capital of Lassman, Duriel, was composed of two parts. The flattened half of the mountain formed the main body of Duriel. The steep terrain made it extremely defensible without the need to build additional walls.
Several tunnels extended from the mountain all the way to the port area below. At this moment, ships of all sizes almost occupied the entire field of vision. Behind the masts were a large number of buildings in the port. Most of the houses were beige. The buildings in the coastal cities used this color to withstand the wind and the sun. The densely packed buildings were spectacular.
Busy and prosperous. This was everyone's first impression of Lassman.
Between the layers of buildings, there were people and carriages moving back and forth. With a casual glance, one could tell that the population of the port area alone was estimated to be more than 30,000.
There were more than a thousand ships in the shallow and deep water ports. Most of the ships were out fishing, so there were still many ships sailing in the open sea. But one thing was for sure, even if all the ships in the ports of the Kingdom of Karen were combined, they would not be able to compete with the number of ships in front of them.
"Port Niblon is divided into several areas. The one in front of us is the civilian area. After the 'Boradini' unloads its cargo here, it has to go to the military port on the other side to rest. There are larger warships and transport ships there."
When the flagship and the transport ship slowly docked, Houdini naturally became their "tour guide". He pointed at the tall mountain in the distance and the city on top. "Behind the port is the main body of the city, but the whole city is built on the mountainside, so to get there, we need to walk uphill."
"I've already informed the council in advance. The welcoming team will settle everyone down and arrange the meeting time and place."
As Houdini spoke, he felt a little emotional. Looking at the familiar city, the sense of loss and disappointment in his heart from being abandoned inexplicably lessened. After all, this was the home he grew up in and the country he was proud of.
"I'm sorry to trouble you during this period. Will you report to Brenka Academy after you disembark?"
Roddy had good eyesight. He glanced at the shore and turned around with a faint smile.
"Yes, I have to submit these reports to the council and report to them in person. Then, I'll submit the paper I wrote on the way. After revising it according to the way you said, I think this paper will probably give me a lot of Arcana points. When the time comes, if you need to use points, just come to me directly. I have a lot of points in stock."
Houdini seemed a little excited. Previously, he did not like to take on everything, but now he had a "leave everything to me" look on his face. He was very enthusiastic.
"Phew … Finally, we're disembarking!"
Naifei stretched her waist. She had played a lot of mahjong along the way. Staying in the cabin every day without exercising, she felt that her waist seemed to have gained a circle of flesh. She was very envious of Sylvia and could not help but reach out to touch her waist. "I wish I had your ability. No matter how much I eat, I won't get fat. I feel that my face is round … "
"Let me see how round it is."
Before Sylvia could say anything, Roddy reached out his hand and pinched it. When Naifei pouted and waved her fist in protest, he let go of her with a smile. "It's good to have more flesh. I'm afraid that I won't have enough when I'm growing up."
Akasha, who was at the side, scratched her face in embarrassment. Rody's obsession with her body always made her feel proud and shy. However, she did not notice that Sylvia beside her let out a sigh of relief.
She really did not know how to answer Naifei's question because her identity as an 'Undead' was very sensitive to her. Fortunately, Rody seemed to have unintentionally helped her out. Sylvia looked at Rody who was chatting and laughing with Naifei. She did not know if it was a coincidence or if it was intentional. That was because during the few times they talked, Rody had always been forceful and did not give her any room to refute. No matter how she looked at it, he did not seem like someone who would consider his subordinates' feelings.
"We've reached the shore. Sylvia, don't forget to treat us to delicious food!"
Merinthra straightened her robe, and her high heels clacked loudly on the deck. The flagship "Boratini" had the largest berth in the deepwater port, and in order to unload the large amount of cargo on the ship, there were a total of six wooden passageways connecting the upper, middle, and lower levels. These passageways were for the passengers, sailors, cargo, and livestock to use respectively.
Naturally, Roddy and the others had to take the most spacious and comfortable passageway for the passengers. Houdini had already disembarked from the ship with his students, including the mages from the Cullen Kingdom, because he had to go through a series of handover procedures.
They watched in confusion as Roddy and the others disembarked from the passenger ladder. Since they had lost contact with Roddy after they boarded the ship, they still did not know who Roddy was. They did not know that Prime Minister Eiffel had taken control of the Holy Cathedral before he boarded the ship, and they did not even know that Roddy and the others were carrying the banner of the "envoy from the Kingdom of Karen".
Rody had no intention of interacting with them. He just looked at the so-called 'welcoming team' in front of him. The corners of his mouth curled up as he walked up to them. "May I ask if you are the members of the Lachiman Kingdom's welcoming delegation?"
After disembarking from the ship, Houdini went to a nearby house alone, while the other Magicians returned to their respective colleges. There were only five young men in robes standing in front of Roddy's passenger ladder. If it were not for Roddy, Merinthra and the others would have thought that they were just ordinary staff on the shore.
