Chapter 450 The King's Request
Although Sophie is a level 5 great magician, she seems to behave quite maturely. But the fact is that she is only an 8-year-old girl, so when Jia Zhengjin asked her to show off her magical power, he had no doubts at all.
But she also has a temper: "My magic is not used to show performances!"
"It's not a performance, it's just to prove your strength!" Jia Zhengjin said with a smile, "Although you are a princess, if you want to be a guest in my Holy Dragon City, you need to follow my rules! Just like if I go to Salvi The Kingdom of Sri Lanka should also abide by the laws of your country, the reason is the same!"
Hearing Jia Zhengjin's words, Sophie lowered her head and pondered for a moment before replying, "You're right!"
"Then prove it!" Jia Zhengjin said with a smile, "Activate the image inside!"
"Since you want to see the proof, then your request will be granted!" Sophie took the Philosopher's Stone and gently held it in her hand. A little bit of magic power was injected into it, and the magician immediately shot up a fan-shaped light. In the light, an old man wearing a royal robe and a crown appeared.
It is said that it is an old man, but in fact it is about fifty or sixty years old. It's just that he has a long beard on his face, so he looks old.
"Wow!" The moment he saw the image, Polipoch and all the members of his caravan immediately knelt down on one knee, bowed their heads respectfully and remained motionless.
At the scene, only Jia Zhengjin and Princess Sophie stood face to face.
"Respected Master Keen, Lord of the Holy Dragon City," the video spoke to Jia Zhengjin like a real person, "I am the king of Salvis! Due to some unspeakable reasons, I have to temporarily ask you for help! I My dearest Sophie, it is inconvenient to return to the country now. Although we don't know each other well, I have always heard that Lord Keen, the Lord of the Holy Dragon City, is unparalleled in kindness and virtue, and has a broad mind to tolerate everything..."
Who spread these rumors? The corner of Jia Zhengjin's mouth twitched.
The image was one-sided, so naturally he would not respond to his expression, so he continued: "It may be a bit abrupt, but I hope to keep Sophie in the Holy Dragon City temporarily, and ask Lord Keane to protect you during this period. Her safety! After the domestic issues in our country are resolved, we will take her home immediately! There must be a big thank you afterwards, and no matter what Master Keen wants, even if the whole country is devoted to it, he will definitely return it!"
The image disappeared at this point, and Polipoch and the people in the caravan knelt down and slowly stood up now.
"Hmm!" Little Loli Sophie waited for the image to disappear, then looked up at Jia Zhengjin with an impatient expression, "Is it okay now? You don't want me to continue to prove it?"
Seeing her as a big kid,
Jia Zhengjin couldn't get disgusted. If it were a girl in the same grade as him who behaved like this, according to his temperament, he would be driven away immediately!
From Sophie's expression and attitude, it can be seen that she is no stranger to this image. It means that she should have seen it a few times before.
To be honest, Jia Zhengjin didn't really want to keep this little princess. Because her behavior revealed a kind of arrogance and pride of the royal family, and she didn't even take Boripoch and the others seriously. If she didn't have the identity of the city lord of the Holy Dragon City, she would probably be no different from other people in her eyes, and her attitude would be completely different then.
Besides, who is spreading rumors outside? Where is my benevolence and virtue, and my mind to tolerate everything? It sounds so nice, but it’s actually just one word—good old man!
Of course Jia Zhengjin is not a nice guy, and he doesn't bother to be a nice guy!
However, King Salvis said that after the event, he devoted all his efforts to meet one of his demands. It is impossible to lie about this kind of thing, right? After all, he is the king of a country, and he still has the video recording his words in his hand.
Jia Zhengjin thought hard for a moment, and couldn't help turning his head and softly asked Polipoch who stood up: "Hello! Is your Salvis Kingdom rich?"
"It's okay!" Polipoch didn't understand why Jia Zhengjin had this question, so he thought for a while and replied, "Although the overall strength of our kingdom is actually not ranked high on the mainland, in terms of the country's wealth, at least It can also be ranked in the top 30 or so! Economically, it can be regarded as an upper-middle country!"
"Above average?" Jia Zhengjin nodded slightly, then there is no problem! That being the case, it must not be a problem to ask Salvis Kingdom for several million gold coins afterwards, right? He himself said that he would devote all his strength to the whole country! It's only a few million gold coins, and you don't need the power of the whole country. The nobles just put together a little bit! Would a few million be too little? Or do you need 10 million gold coins at that time? In other words, can their treasury be used? Will people in China really chip in?
"Master Keen? Master Keen?" When Jia Zhengjin was caught up in how to determine the remuneration, Boripoch interrupted his train of thought.
"Why?" Jia Zhengjin, who came back to his senses, was imagining the fun of counting gold coins, and was a little upset when he was suddenly interrupted.
"Do you think we can invite our Lord Sophie to enter the city to rest first?" Polipoch said respectfully, "Recently, she has been traveling with the caravan every day and has suffered a lot. She has a poor appetite and has lost weight! "
Jia Zhengjin looked at Sophie, who was still a little chubby, and thought that this could also be called thin body? But after all, they are also guests, and after thinking about it, they can ask Salvis Kingdom for a sky-high protection fee, and they don't worry if they don't pay it. He smiled immediately: "Of course! I'll have someone arrange the best residence immediately, and at the same time set up a banquet for Princess Sophie! There is nothing else in Sacred Dragon City, with the most delicious food."
"Great!" Polipoch breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried about what would happen if Lord Keen didn't agree to keep Lord Sophie. It's impossible for the caravan to carry Lord Sophie all the time, because the caravan's guards can't handle the bandit team that is going to assassinate Lord Sophie!
"Okay, everyone follow me into the city first!" Jia Zhengjin said loudly, "Everyone has a good rest today, and the important things will be discussed tomorrow! Get up! Get up! Drive the carriages to the city!"
"Wait a minute!" Polipoch and his caravan started to move, but the little loli Sophie looked at Jia Zhengjin with displeasure, "Where is my pick-up mount?"
"What? Picking up the mount?" Jia Zhengjin was confused when he heard this.
"Picking up the mount is picking up the mount!" Little Lolita Sophie raised her head in displeasure and said to her, "Do you want me to walk in? This is too rude!"
Too rude to walk in? Jia Zhengjin was speechless, who didn't go in by himself? He turned to look at Poripoch.
"Lord Keen," Polipoch came over with a wry smile, and said softly to him, "Sorry! I forgot this. My royal family does have such a welcome ceremony. Before any prince or princess returns to the palace, they must use their backs War horses covered with red cloth or earth dragon mounts will take them back! But generally, princes and princesses outside will do as the Romans do, and will not be limited to this. It’s just that our Lord Sophie is young and has a persistent personality. Soon?"
"It's so troublesome..." If Jia Zhengjin didn't think about the return of Salvis Kingdom, he wouldn't talk to this little loli!
