Duke Valder took advantage of the situation and said with a smile, "Helene, does His Highness Salin intend to join hands with Sacred Rock City to attack the Tanggulas Empire?"
"Duke, you have to discuss this with my king personally. From Metatlin to Tanggulas, we can only go through Jialoulan."
Although Helene didn't have a title in the past, she was still from a noble family. She wouldn't answer such probing questions directly. It wouldn't be good to answer incorrectly, and it would cause Salin to be displeased.
"We can also borrow the Rhine Duchy's path." Duke Valder said with a smile, as if the argument with Helene just now had never happened. His expression was amiable.
"That would require Scochenya's approval. Otherwise, wouldn't you be causing trouble for Sacred Rock City?" Ina replied without batting an eyelid.
Valder didn't get anything out of her. He thought to himself, That Salin conferred titles to four dukes at the beginning of the Empire's establishment. It sounded absurd, but it was actually a good way to win over nobles. Helene was already a duke at such a young age. It was unlikely that others would be able to lure her away from Metatlin.
Sacred Rock City couldn't possibly give her the treatment of a duke, right? If not, he wouldn't be able to find any flaws. Before leaving, Prince Sephiroth had specially reminded him to check out the internal affairs of Metatlin. For now, it seemed that he had no way to start. Among the four dukes, this woman from the Williams family should be the easiest to bribe.
Valder arrived at Metatlin with complicated feelings. The majestic city walls of Metatlin made him dizzy again. At the back, Magic Shooter Tiffany and Stephanie beside her could not remain calm this time. Sacred Rock City did not send any spies. They only searched for some rumors of merchants. Without the support of magic images, they would never know the majesty of Metatlin City.
Logically speaking, the Magic Shooters from Sacred Rock City wouldn't have such thoughts. However, the snow-white city walls of Metatlin seemed to have been cut by magic. They were flawless and had been cleansed by magic after the war. The Dante Sequence on top of the city walls stretched for several miles. Any Magician who came to this city wall would have the urge to worship it.
"They're really willing to spend money!" Tiffany praised.
This time, Stephanie didn't say anything. Dante's sequence was actually a magic sequence that was higher than Figaro's magic formula. Countless materials were needed to build it on the city wall.
The city gates were wide open. This time, magic cannons were fired from the top of the city walls. The minor officials in the envoy group could no longer look down on Metatlin. They had been chatting and laughing, but when they saw Metatlin, they naturally shut their mouths.
This city indeed had the demeanor of a capital. In fact, it wouldn't be too bad even if it was the imperial city of an empire.
Salin still did not come to greet them. Daniel was in charge of greeting them in the city. He was the one who actually handled the government affairs. As a level-six necromancer, welcoming the Duke of the Empire in the city could barely be considered degrading his status.
Daniel's welcome dealt another blow to Balder. When Metatlin rebuilt his army, he specially expanded the structure of the undead army. Although Daniel had to deal with government affairs, he still had to be the leader of the undead army.
Hence, when Daniel came to greet them, he rode on the huge Peuheus with hundreds of undead soldiers following behind him. These undead soldiers were not skeletons, but more advanced zombies. When the zombies wore armor, they did not have any smell at all. They were all purified by Necromagic, and the soul fire in their eyes was purple.
Daniel welcomed them with a laugh. At this time, Tiffany also approached Balder. Daniel politely bowed to the Archmage Tiffany, and then said to Balder, "Your Excellency, welcome to Metatlin City!"
He spoke politely, but he did not jump down from Peuheus's back. Instead, he stood on top of Peuheus's head, looking down from above.
Balder did not dare to go forward, and could only return the greeting, fearing that Daniel would walk towards him. If he got too close, his warhorse would not be able to withstand it even if the necromancer suppressed the aura of the mount. The difference in level was too great. His warhorse with a rich bloodline was only equivalent to a level-two magical beast.
Peuheus's three huge heads swayed left and right. When it saw the two mages behind Balder, it did not dare to be impudent, and stopped in its tracks.
"The Lord invites everyone to go directly to the palace." Daniel also saw the level-eight Magic Shooters in the other party's team, and he felt some reverence in his heart. When he spoke, he was naturally much more polite.
Logically speaking, the 3,000 soldiers escorting the envoys should stay in West Town, but Salin did not order them to do so, and so they were all brought to Metatlin City. Daniel commanded his subordinates, handed over the officers beside Balder, and led the soldiers to the camp in the city.
The streets were very wide, and Salin arranged for a crowd to watch the show on both sides. Among the envoys, a minor official in charge of related affairs grabbed coins and scattered them on both sides of the road. However, the onlookers were all soldiers on vacation. Only some children laughed and snatched the coins.
Helene felt very gratified. Salin's soldiers did not train in fighting techniques at the beginning, but in discipline. Without the orders of their superiors, no soldier picked up the money. Besides, the envoys scattered copper coins, which they did not care about.
This was something that could not be helped. There were almost no idle people in Metatlin City. Everyone was working, and it was impossible for them to come and watch the show. Salin could only let the soldiers on vacation come over, and those who were training were not disturbed.
Balder was very depressed. The people on both sides of the street were clearly not citizens who came voluntarily. The people of Metatlin City were really inexperienced people.
That's not right, people who haven't seen the world should be fighting to be the first to watch the show!
The palace was built in the north of the city, and the area it occupied was less than half the size of the shrine. The palace did not have high walls or deep courtyards, but the main entrance was unusually majestic.
Tiffany swept his eyes and calculated that the palace was a little shorter than the main entrance of Sacred Rock City's palace. It should be exactly one meter shorter. This was definitely not an accident. The eyes of a mage could measure a tiny error as small as a strand of hair.
At this moment, the guards of the envoys were led away and stationed in the courtyard outside the palace. Fully armed soldiers were not allowed to enter the palace. Apart from Duke Balder and the two mages, there were only about a hundred people left in the envoys.
Only then did Daniel get down from Peuuce and pat his lowered head. Peuuce left on his own. Seeing this, Tiffany had an understanding of the people around Salin.
Each of them was extraordinary. This huge revenant could freely move in and out of the city, and there was no need for mages to control it. This could only be a high-level, intelligent revenant. The people in the city did not panic because of this, which meant that they had long since approved of the actions of Salin's subordinates and nobles. No one would think that there was anything wrong with this huge revenant wandering around the city.
It seemed that His Majesty's judgment was very accurate. This Salin's foundation was definitely not shallow. There must be a huge force supporting him from behind.
In fact, Tiffany's deduction was a mage's mistake. It was a complete coincidence that Salin had a helper like Daniel. Even Daniel's Undead Soul was obtained by accident. And the people of Metatlin had experienced a terrifying siege. The revenant had played a huge role in the battle, reducing the number of casualties. These people were basically all from Qin Yin and had no fear of necromancers. Peuuce was also intelligent and wouldn't harass ordinary people. In just a month or two, everyone would get used to the presence of this huge creature in the city.
As for His Majesty, Ojarvis believed in Salin's ability because of his sister. In Ojarvis's heart, Rex was someone with unique vision and a brain that surpassed his uncle's. Someone that Rex thought highly of couldn't be bad.
This palace was usually where the court swordsmen were stationed. Salin didn't stay here at all. He only set this as the meeting place with the nobles, and made the temple his private territory. No one else was allowed to enter.
The soldiers in the palace still wore gorgeous armor, and their weapons had been changed to longswords. They all looked dignified. This armor was like a piece of paper in the field, but it was comfortable to wear. When patrolling, it didn't consume any energy at all.
Salin hadn't chosen these ten thousand Caucasians to send them to the battlefield in the first place. Also, these Caucasian warriors would only wear a different set of equipment during training.
In the palace, there was only a relatively grand hall for handling government affairs. The envoys were invited into the hall. Salin finally appeared. He was still wearing the Demon God suit made by Joey, but he didn't wear a mask.
Salin didn't hold back this time. He walked out of the palace to welcome them. There was a level-eight Magic Shooter among the envoys, so he couldn't be too negligent. This face wasn't for Balder.
Beside Salin was Nicholas, who whispered in Salin's ear. Salin smiled and came up to greet them. He bowed to the two mages behind Balder and said, "Master Tiffany … this master is?"
Tiffany stared at Nicholas and said calmly, "This is Master Stephanie."
"Salin is honored to have the two masters here. And Duke Balder, you've worked hard. "Salin's accent had a hint of gentleness at the end, making him sound very elegant.
"Your Highness, you're too kind," Tiffany replied. In Qin Yin, the king could only be called Your Highness. In the past, Cloud Flow used to be called Your Majesty, but it was forcefully changed by the Cloud Flow Emperor. There was no king in the entire continent, and the king of a duchy was reduced to a duke. Salin called himself the king, and Holy Rock City recognized him. Although he couldn't call him Your Highness, he definitely wouldn't call Salin Your Highness.
Behind Salin, Ainphent and the rest came out to welcome them. All twelve counts were here to see the envoys of Qin Yin.
"Masters, Your Highness, let's go in and talk." Salin's young face was full of smiles. He'd been waiting for this day. He'd thought it would be a few years later. Now that Holy Rock City had taken the initiative to praise him, it would be impolite for him to refuse!
