Chapter 262 Political Game Among Dragon Riders
That's what he said, but Vashchi didn't express his thoughts.
On the contrary, she even put on a friendly smile and said:
"Since Mr. Krober is not willing to conclude a covenant, forget it. This is indeed because I was too abrupt."
Vashj paused and continued following the topic.
"However, I come here with great sincerity this time and want to start trade with the Amethyst Islands..."
Before she finished speaking, the maid behind her took out a rolled piece of parchment and handed it to Yan who was waiting at the side.
After getting the parchment, Yan checked it carefully.
After finally confirming that this was an ordinary piece of parchment and that the Naga tribe had not used any means on it, they presented it to Krober.
Krober opened the parchment, which contained many regulations densely written in human common language.
Among them, the following points have attracted Krober’s attention:
1. The Amethyst Islands will officially confirm diplomatic relations with the Naga clan on behalf of the Golden Duchy. In exchange, the Naga clan will recognize Krober's dominance in the southwest region of the Blue Sea.
2. After the two sides confirm diplomatic relations, the Naga people hope that trade between the two sides will be fully open.
3. The Naga clan will set up an embassy on Amethyst Island and appoint the only remaining royal bloodline of the Naga clan as representatives to live on Amethyst Island all year round.
However, the Amethyst Islands side also wants to set up an embassy on the territory of the Naga tribe, and appoint equally important personnel as ambassadors to stay in the Naga tribe's territory.
To be honest, there is nothing difficult about this diplomatic regulation. Some of the things requested by the Nagas are within the normal range.
Whether it is trade or embassy, these are necessary conditions for establishing diplomatic relations between two countries.
But the first point is that Krober still needs to make it clear to Vaschi.
"Your Excellency Vasqi, I have read this document of yours and there are generally no problems.
But for this first point, I am currently unable to make a promise to you on behalf of the Golden Duchy. I can only maintain a bilateral relationship with you as the Earl of the Amethyst Islands. "
Although at the Dragon Riding Ceremony, Alves and Veronica both agreed that Krober would be responsible for the affairs of the Blue Sea after the founding of the country.
But after all, he is not a real dragon knight yet, nor has he established an independent country.
Krober still needs to ask Veronica for permission for things like this.
But Krober also showed his sincerity, that is, establishing diplomatic relations with the Naga tribe in the name of the Earl of the Amethyst Islands and in his own name.
Anyway, he is the only one among the Seven Kingdoms who has set his sights on the blue sea. The others are still fighting for land on the mainland.
With the current shipbuilding technology of the Seven Kingdoms, the ability to safely sail from Black Feather Island to Amethyst Island is already the limit.
With Amethyst Island as the center, it can also radiate to the surrounding islands.
After all, there are not many islands in the entire southwest region of the Blue Sea, and there is a large ocean to the north or east of Scorched Earth Island.
If Krober wants to expand his territory again, he may have to innovate the existing ship technology.
This is also one of the shortcomings of the civilization of the island kingdom, which is too dependent on ships.
All basic things must be transported by ship.
Without ships, you can't expect dragons to transport people and resources.
That scene makes my head feel heavy just thinking about it.
The dragon and the knight signed a partnership contract, which means that the status between the two is equal.
If the knight forces the dragon to do something it doesn't want to do, the dragon will also lose its temper.
Vashj was not surprised to hear Krober's words.
Because she didn't know about Krober riding a dragon before, her main political focus was still on the Golden Duchy behind him.
But now that Krober's strength has undergone earth-shaking changes, he himself is qualified to establish diplomatic relations with the Naga tribe.
After all, Vashchi wanted to test the human kingdom's current attitude towards the Naga tribe through this incident.
Although she had sensed the hostility of the human kingdom towards the Nagas from what Krober said before, since Krober agreed to carry out trade and establish an embassy between the two parties, this means that the human kingdom behind him should not have any influence in the near future. Action against the Nagas.
And according to her observations, it seems that this young human dragon knight does not actually have much hostility towards Naga.
"Okay, since Mr. Vashj has no objections, after the banquet is over, I will ask the Chief Clerk to draft two new diplomatic agreements, which will be written in both human common language and Sea Tribe language."
Krober gently raised his wine glass and gave a low bow in the direction of Vasqi.
Vashchi naturally knows something about human etiquette. She knows that this is a way for humans to express respect and friendliness and increase their sense of security.
So she also raised her wine glass, responded to Krober's action, and took a slight sip of the wine in the glass.
The mellow aroma of wine spread in the mouth, and the sweet taste made Vasqi's eyes light up.
Krober, who had been sitting in a chair and observing, naturally discovered this subtlety.
“This is jade wine produced in the Jade Kingdom, although the price is not as good as Summer Red.
But from the perspective of sweetness and aroma, I think Cuiyu Niang is much better than Summer Red.
If Mr. Vashj likes it, I will let Yan select a few bottles from the warehouse and give them to you as a gift. "
Vashchi did not answer his question. She gently shook the wine glass in her hand, and the scarlet wine slowly rotated in the glass, as if dancing.
"Speaking of gifts, Mr. Krober's words just reminded me.
Go and give the gift I prepared to Mr. Krober. "
The second half of the words was Vashj giving instructions to the maid beside him.
"yes."
The maid bowed slightly and slowly took out a box with six arms, with a small coral plant placed on it.
Krober looked at this familiar gift and began to estimate the general strength of the Naga clan.
The current strength displayed by the Naga tribe in front of him is the combat power of two dragons and a dragon knight.
But he didn't know if that was all. How many dragons were there in the Naga clan? How many more dragon knights are there?
He didn't know any of this information.
Before the strength is clearly understood, Krober still plans to focus on maintaining the relationship between the two parties.
So he showed a happy smile and asked Guan Jiayan to take the gift and send it to his collection.
"Lord Vashj's gift is strange, but I have never dealt with the Naga tribe before, let alone a dragon. I wonder if the dragon you contracted is...?"
Krober also has a habit of asking questions when he doesn’t understand.
His knowledge of sea dragons only stayed in books. He only knew that sea dragons were a kind of dragon that lived in the ocean, but their combat power was much worse than that of giant dragons.
Moreover, it has no four claws or wings, and its combat effectiveness is still weak.
Therefore, magicians generally believe that the sea dragon species is the result of the degeneration of the giant dragon species in ancient times after they escaped from the mainland and lived in the ocean.
