As a so-called "democratic country" on the Western Continent, Englund, the president of Sterland Republic, was not a knight. In Sterland Republic, the position of president was always held by literati. This was the political tradition of Sterland Republic in order to prevent a powerful person from turning the republic into an imperial system or a country ruled by soldiers.
The ambassador of Taixia Country in Sterland Republic was not a knight either. He was not even a high-level fighter. Because the position of ambassador didn't require knights. Taixia Country couldn't waste knights in such a way. Therefore, the two people didn't hear the abnormal noise in the small parlor when they entered the study room. Neither did they notice that the door between the study room and the small parlor was actually a crack, through which their talk could drift into the small parlor. If the door was closed just now, the restrictive spell in the mezzanine of the wall in the study room would not drift in. Therefore, it could only be a coincidence.
At this moment, Reddies was hugging Zhang Tie tightly in the small parlor as she had been a bit passionate. After hearing the sound drifting from the study room, Reddies was also startled as she slowly slowed down her breath. She had not imagined that her grandpa could appear outside at this moment. It seemed that he was going to talk with the ambassador of Taixia Country secretly.
Zhang Tie had long released his spiritual energy silently and formed a barrier in the air around the two people. All the sounds of Zhang Tie and Reddies were contained in this barrier. Meanwhile, a wisp of spiritual energy "wandered" into the study room on one side and saw everything in the study room.
The president of Sterland Republic had grey hair and a big belly. Although this civilian president didn't have the powerful qi of a knight, he had the qi of an experienced politician.
The "Ambassador Sun" who was closely related to the Gobbling Party still carried a domineering qi field.
Besides the two people, nobody else was in the study room.
Sitting on the same sofa in the study room, the two people both looked a bit solemn.
"Taixia Country will soon have an emperor …" Ambassador Sun's first words made Zhang Tie's heart pound at once.
After being stunned for a short while, the president of Sterland Republic revealed a passionate, brilliant smile. Nobody could figure out how many disguises were hidden behind his smile. "This is the best gift that Mr. Ambassador sent to Sterland Republic on the National Day. It's an inspiring good news for both the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent that Emperor Xuanyuan is coming back. I believe that the battle situation facing Taixia Country would be changed soon. Congratulations …"
The two people were talking in fluent Hua language. In this age, those who couldn't speak Hua language could never become top figures in the Western Continent.
"It's not that Emperor Xuanyuan is coming back; instead, Taixia Country will have a new emperor!" Ambassador Sun immediately corrected him as if he didn't notice the proper dumbfounded look on the president of Sterland Republic's face, "Since the holy war broke out, Taixia Country has been leaderless. This situation will soon change!"
"Hmm, I also think so. It's really unimaginable for a country like Taixia Country to have no monarch for such a long time!" The passionate, brilliant smile on the face of the president of Sterland Republic disappeared at once as he replied after considering his words.
"When the new emperor ascends to the throne, I think the embassy of Sterland Republic in Xuanyuan Hill should congratulate him right away and present a letter of credence …" Ambassador Sun said as he gazed into the eyes of the president of Sterland Republic.
The president of Sterland Republic didn't open his mouth right away. After a few seconds, he threw a glance at Ambassador Sun meticulously and asked, "May I know who's the future owner of Xuanyuan Hill?"
"The ninth prince of Taixia Country!"
The president of Sterland Republic revealed a dumbfounded look. However, he didn't say anything; instead, after thinking about it for a few seconds, he nodded, "If the ninth prince could really ascend to the throne in Taixia Country, of course, Sterland Republic would congratulate him. Sterland Republic would not lag behind other countries in diplomatic etiquette!"
"I want Sterland Republic to be the first country among so many countries on the Western Continent to take the lead in congratulating him instead of lagging behind others. Everything has a beginning. Once there's a first, there'll be a second, a third … "Ambassador Sun said aggressively," If it's really as you said, what do you think the two of us are talking about here … "
"Has Taixia Country already reached a consensus on the ascension of the ninth prince?"
"Don't worry about it. I will notice you by then. You just need to tell the embassy of Sterland Republic in Xuanyuan Hill to do that!" Ambassador Sun waved his hand as he interrupted the president of Sterland Republic with a hard look, "You don't need to say anything else. Just tell me whether you agree or not!"
Under the icy gaze of Ambassador Sun, the forehead of the president of Sterland Republic oozed sweat at once. In a split second, this small study room became like a torture chamber, which was even more perilous than the frontline of the battle between demons. When he thought about what happened in Xuanyuan Hill, the experienced politician's heart instantly palpitated as if it had been frozen. He wanted to open the cigar box on the table so as to calm himself down; however, he found that his hands had started to quiver uncontrollably. As a result, he couldn't open the lock of the cigar box for quite a while …
The president of Sterland Republic knew that his attitude at this moment might determine the fate of him and his clan. As a small country on the Western Continent whose most powerful battle force was only a black iron knight, the slightest disturbance in Xuanyuan Hill could destroy the Sterland Republic and him in a split second. It was not a game that he could participate in. However, given the current situation, he had no choice …
Watching the president of Sterland Republic wanting to open the cigar box on the table with trembling, Ambassador Sun didn't say anything. After glaring at the president ferociously, Ambassador Sun stood up with a livid look and walked towards the door of the study room.
"I … agree!" When Ambassador Sun's hand almost touched the handle of the door of the study room, a fatigued and quivering voice drifted from his back.
Ambassador Sun stopped and turned his head. A smile appeared on his face. "This is your wisest choice. You won't regret it. Alright, I'll go down first. I'm still looking forward to Mr. President's exciting speech tonight! Oh, you'd better not let others know what I've told you just now … "
After saying that, Ambassador Sun opened the door and left.
The president of Sterland Republic felt weak all over as he sat on the sofa with a pale face. Not until 5 minutes later did the president take out a vial of red medicament from another box on the table with quivering hands and drink it. After a short while, his face gradually recovered as he left the room.
…
'Is Xuanyuan Lie the ninth prince going to be the new Emperor Xuanyuan?'
'Isn't Xuanyuan Hill jointly supervised by the three chancellors, nine ministers and six lords of Taixia Country?
'Didn't Ockham say that the chancellors of Xuanyuan Hill want to elect one of Xuanyuan Changying's sons to ascend to the throne? 'What's happening now? When did the Gobbling Party and Meng Shidao stand on the side of Xuanyuan Lie the ninth prince? '
A lot of questions occurred to Zhang Tie's mind.
Just now, Ambassador Sun of the Gobbling Party wanted Sterland Republic to wave flags and shout battle cries behind them. It indicated that the current situation facing Xuanyuan Hill might be very intense. In Taixia Country, not everyone supported the ninth prince to ascend to the throne.
"Ahh, have my grandpa left?" Reddies who was hugging Zhang Tie asked in a low voice as she didn't hear any sound from the study for quite a while.
Zhang Tie threw a glance at this blonde beauty who had already fallen in love with him. Closely after that, he touched Reddies' head by hand. Closely after that, Reddies closed her eyes and fell asleep at once.
After putting Reddies on the sofa in the parlor, Zhang Tie sat on another sofa as he frowned and thought about what happened in Taixia Country.
'Something must have happened in Taixia Country. However, I don't know about it. Otherwise, Xuanyuan Lie the ninth prince would not ascend to the throne without any reason …'
When he thought about this, Zhang Tie took out a remote-sensing crystal from his portable space-teleportation equipment and sent a message to Ockham who was in the banquet hall downstairs — — Is there any major event in Taixia Country recently?
Only after a few minutes, Ockham had received a message — — According to my informer in Xuanyuan Hill, besides the war between Taixia Country and demons, everything is as usual in Taixia Country.
'As usual my ass!'
Something must have happened in Taixia Country; however, Ockham's moles didn't know it. When Ockham's moles didn't know it, of course, Ockham didn't know it either. When Ockham's moles knew it, it might have been a fait accompli.
— — Do you need me to inquire about it?
After receiving no reply from Zhang Tie, Ockham sent another message.
— — Find out where's Meng Shidao?
After a few minutes — —
— Since Xuanyuan Changying the crown prince of Taixia Country was assassinated, Meng Shidao has been in secluded cultivation!
— — Are you sure that Meng Shidao is still in secluded cultivation?
After another few minutes …
— — My informer in Xuanyuan Hill said that they couldn't approach the place where Meng Shidao was in secluded cultivation; therefore …
— — Fine, it's all right!
Zhang Tie didn't expect Ockham to know anything. A shadow knight in Sacred Light Empire on the Western Continent was nothing special in Taixia Country. Even though his influence was not zero, it was not much greater than zero. Even Ockham was like this, not to mention those moles that Ockham arranged in Xuanyuan Hill. Those moles might only tell Ockham about some major events that had happened in Taixia Country as soon as possible. How could they know about those major events that had not happened yet? If Meng Shidao didn't exclaim when he exited his secluded cultivation, those informer might not know about it at all.
…
After a long while, Reddies finally woke up slowly. However, she couldn't remember what had happened just now at all. She only remembered that she drank too much in the small parlor and hugged Fred. Unconsciously, she felt drunk. When she shouldn't be drunk at all, she just lay down on the sofa and didn't look like a lady at all.
Her dress was intact. She didn't feel uncomfortable at all. It seemed that nothing had happened.
"Ah, I'm sorry. I've not imagined that I could be drunk so easily today …" Reddies apologized to Zhang Tie at once. As for some men with high standards, a drunk woman might be the most disappointing thing.
"It's fine. Let's go downstairs. The banquet should come to an end …" Zhang Tie said as he stood up. After slightly tidying up her evening dress, Reddies also stood up and returned to the banquet hall with Zhang Tie.
…
This banquet didn't come to an end until about 10 pm. After that, Zhang Tie and Bordili returned to Moonlight Hotel by car.
…
Two days later, Bordili took Zhang Tie to the entrance of Golden Crown in Garby City …
