The other tourists on the viewing platform also noticed the strange but real tension between the two of them.
Intentionally or unintentionally, they had already taken a detour to avoid the two of them.
Elvin realized that his words were too hasty, and he squeezed out a smile to try to ease the atmosphere.
"Miss Venia, didn't you say that you want to help the people of your hometown?
Blindly isolating the country will only lead to backwardness and being beaten. Since you're willing to come out to understand the outside world, you should know how much the Old Continent is changing with each passing day.
Then why don't you choose a kingdom on the continent as a partner? "
Elvin had never been a ruthless person, although his overly direct purpose had caused the other party to be conflicted.
But if possible, he still hoped to achieve a win-win situation through peaceful cooperation. Force was only a last resort.
"Cooperate with a kingdom?"
Venia tilted her head and repeated the sentence, but it was hard to tell whether she agreed or disagreed in her heart.
Elvin continued to persuade her.
"Knowing so many secrets, you must have a high status in the Golden Kingdom. If you can promote cooperation between the two countries, it will be a huge contribution to both the ruler and the people living there!
As someone who has traveled the world, you should know that the original two huge native empires of the New Continent, the Kashna Empire and the Azik Empire, were easily wiped out by the Shilius Kingdom, which was the first to land.
In order to prevent such a tragedy from happening to the Golden Kingdom, you should have made plans early. "
Having only met her twice, Elvin only knew that she should have an extraordinary background, but he still did not know the girl's true identity in the Golden Kingdom. But as long as he catered to her interests, it would be fine.
For this girl who had traveled across the oceans to the Old Continent, the people she was most concerned about should be the people of the native country.
After hearing Elvin's words, the girl looked at Elvin with a strange expression.
"Didn't you tell me that the only reason for colonization and colonization is the comparison of power?
So what if we cooperate? Will you open up your core technology to us? Or will you provide us with firearms and ammunition across the entire Shattered Star Sea?
Apart from that, will you Faletis help us fight when Cirrius's warships arrive? "
Her series of rhetorical questions left Elvin speechless. This was simply shooting himself in the foot.
The long journey had caused a physical separation. Other than the output of technology and knowledge, what else could it help them with? On the other hand, would the kingdom be so generous as to give the natives the technology of the steam engine, the construction of warships, and the casting of cannons, which were the foundation of the kingdom, be leaked to the natives?
As for those common goods, how could they be attractive to Venia, who had been traveling around the world for many years? What right did he have to exchange for the precious knowledge in her heart?
At this moment, Venia had obviously relied on her extraordinary wisdom to understand the profound meaning of "those who learn from me will live, and those who copy me will die!". She was determined to use her own strengths and did not fall for Elvin's trick at all.
"The Golden Kingdom has its own characteristics.
The people of the Kingdom of God naturally have their own extraordinary aspects. We will find our own way out, so there's no need for Mr. Elvin to worry.
Finally, I still welcome you to cross the Black Sea, the New World, and the entire Shattered Star Sea to visit the Golden Kingdom in the future.
Of course, as a great adventurer exploring the world, not a greedy colonist!
Then, let us part ways here, Mr. Iven! "
After saying that, Venia carried her portfolio and was about to turn and leave.
"Venia, little …"
At this moment.
Tap … tap … tap … tap …
Loud and orderly footsteps could be heard.
The two of them looked up at the same time.
Not far away, a team of naval soldiers with guns on their shoulders happened to pass by.
Because the alert level of the Leiden Valley was constantly increasing, as a tourist city with many foreigners, Niske had also increased several rounds of patrols.
The main city, especially the bustling areas, had achieved a full day of vigilance after the garrison entered the city.
The leader of this patrol team was someone Elvin knew.
Bertram Solomon was wearing an officer's uniform, a captain's cloak, and a big golden book hanging from his waist. He took the lead and walked in front.
Behind him, a total of 20 naval soldiers in two neat rows walked forward.
As a naval captain, Bertram should not be patrolling on the shore, but he was a soldier of Tyro and a "Rising Star of the Navy".
He was often called by Major General Coverdale to participate in the city's patrol and play the halo effect of a star figure, calming people in special situations.
Bertram, who was born noble, had both the heroic spirit of a soldier and the mysterious temperament of a wizard. Everyone looked at him as he passed, and he almost became another scenery in the water city.
When Elvin saw him, Bertram obviously also noticed Elvin and the beautiful girl beside him.
"Stop!"
Bertram gave the command, took two steps forward, and waved his hand to greet Elvin.
"Captain Elvin, good morning! This is … "
Woof woof woof …
Suddenly, there was a rush of dog barking in his heart.
His movement of raising his hand slightly stiffened, but he quickly adjusted and continued as if nothing had happened.
"Is this beautiful young lady your friend? The scenery in Nisk is the best of the year.
Well, I still have a mission, so I won't disturb the two of you. "
Without waiting for Elvin's reply, he was already prepared to turn and leave.
Unexpectedly, Venia looked up at the void behind Solomon and said faintly.
"Hehehe, Solomon's school? An Invisible Demon Hound? Interesting! "
With that sentence, Solomon's face suddenly changed.
His familiar, "Invisible Demon Hound" Kashler, had just reminded him that the person standing next to Elvin was the source of the non-human alien smell that he smelled last time.
And when he really faced this "alien", the Demon Hound's extremely sharp senses told him that this seemingly weak and beautiful girl might … not be easy to deal with.
This was a powerful Demon Hound at the peak of Grade 2. It was only limited by its current wizard level that it could not break through!
The "alien" with the appearance of the girl should at least be at the same level as the "Invisible Demon Hound" at the peak of Grade 2, and it must be some kind of powerful extraordinary profession!
Solomon immediately realized that he was involved in some kind of troublesome matter.
He originally wanted to withdraw in time, but he did not expect that the beautiful and weak girl who looked like an elf would call out Kashler's existence!
While possessing powerful strength, she must also have some unknown investigative methods.
Solomon saw Elvin standing at the side constantly giving him a look, telling him to leave first, but he felt an invisible aura shrouding him, and he was in a dilemma.
Venia looked at the giant Demon Hound hidden in the void. She, who was about to leave the "civilized world" and return to her hometown, no longer cared about exposing this identity that she painstakingly maintained to avoid the attention of the Church of True God.
She did not like to fight, but it did not mean that she did not have a temper!
Other than the so-called gold that covered the land, the "Golden Kingdom" also had a protective power that belonged to her!
If I don't let you suffer a little, you will really think that the "Golden Kingdom" is just a lamb waiting to be slaughtered by the "civilized world"!
The next moment, the girl's temperament suddenly changed, and she glanced at the two of them with a condescending attitude that was unfamiliar to Elvin.
"In fact, in the Old Continent, other than culture, art, and technology, I am also interested in the mysterious knowledge that you have passed down.
But the best part is often passed down in the schools, and the heritage of the wild wizards is not much better than that of the natives of the New Continent.
I didn't expect to meet a Solomon here. Let me see what level the Transcendents of the "civilized world" can reach. "
At this time, Bertram had also realized the hostility in Venia's words. Although they stood together, her relationship with Elvin was far from as harmonious as it seemed on the surface.
He could not guess her origin, and he did not understand her words very well. But in the face of the provocation of an unfamiliar Transcendent, as a thousand-year-old Solomon, it was impossible for him to remain indifferent.
Therefore, Bertram smiled as if he did not care. He even took a step forward and bowed like a gentleman who had a good rest.
"Beautiful lady, you must be joking. As an upright knight, how could I lay my hands on such an outstanding woman like you?"
Pa!
The magic book "Solomon's Golden Book" hanging on his waist suddenly flipped open, and the golden pages of the book fluttered without any wind.
Cane —
Among the obscure and sulfurous syllables, there was a deep and sulfurous sound.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two smaller "Invisible Demon Hounds" jumped out of the pages.
Solomon's family motto: "A lion will use all its strength even when hunting a rabbit!"
The "Invisible Demon Hounds" were a very powerful group of Demon Hounds in the lower realm. The corresponding top existence was the legendary "Otherworldly Hounds" that could travel through the world at will.
They would never show their true body in front of people at any time, and they would not leave any trace of themselves in the material world.
With their extraordinary ability to hide and their powerful bite that could chew through steel, they were born as powerful assassins.
And what was even rarer was that among the many chaotic lower realm demons, they were known for their absolute loyalty and would not betray their master. They were a crucial part of the summoning sequence created by Solomon.
In previous battles, even senior official Knights had their heads bitten off by the "Invisible Demon Hounds" when they were caught off guard.
Obviously, as a Wizard family, they did not avoid sneak attacks at all.
From Bertram's choice of Tamed Demons that were good at sneak attacks, it was clear that this handsome and sunny fellow was definitely dark inside if he was cut open!
Woof woof woof …
Two small Demon Hounds that were three meters long barked at a volume that only their masters could hear, and pounced at Venia who was almost within reach.
Whoosh —
At the same time, a whistling wind blew over their heads. Kashgar, who was more experienced in hunting, had already jumped over Solomon's head and bit at the woman who made it feel uncomfortable.
Although Elvin could not see the Invisible Demon Hounds, he realized that Solomon's attack had already begun.
Just as he held the sword staff in his magic pouch tightly, hesitating whether he should completely fall out with Solomon and force the girl to stay.
Suddenly, he realized that the battle had just begun, and it was already … over!
Awoo … Awoo …
Almost in the blink of an eye.
The three "Invisible Demon Hounds", the weakest of which was an official Knight, had been firmly entangled in the air by a light green chain that extended from the air, vaguely revealing the figure of a giant canine.
Other than letting out a series of whines like a defeated dog, they did not even manage to touch the girl's clothes.
The Golden Book in Bertram's hands that had been flipping through the pages suddenly froze, as if it had been frozen.
"Complete defeat!"
Both of their faces turned green. How could they not realize that even though they had tried to overestimate the girl's strength based on her age, the reality proved that their guess was completely wrong!
This beautiful girl who looked weak and easy to bully actually had at least the power of a level 3 hidden within her body!
