Chapter 692 The Dwarf Messenger

Li Huailin really wants to see what this Edwin Malindorf thinks. Of course, it should be impossible for you to say that he wants to take Li Huailin's position. After all, the people of the Second Legion love him so much now. In addition, the king has already changed, and Anthony should not help this guy change himself now, but Li Huailin still needs to understand his thoughts. If he has such a request, it may be very troublesome, so Li Huailin thought about it or met him first.

Soon the deputy head of the Royal Guard, Edra, came in with three people. One was a human being about 30 years old, and that was the Edwin Malindorf that Li Huailin wanted to see. He was dressed as a civil servant. The appearance is not quite related to Marshal Marindorf who was hacked to death by Li Huailin, because he is much more handsome than him, and he looks gentle. He looks like a scholar, and he doesn't feel like the son of the marshal at all. Feel.

Next to him is a dwarf named Oufuge Dete, who is also dressed as a relatively clean civil servant. Unlike the dwarves Li Huailin has seen before, they always feel a little dirty, but they are still listening. Big beard braided into twists. And there is a special person behind the two of them, because this is a green-skinned goblin, which is similar to the goblins Li Huailin met in the race before, anyway, Li Huailin can't see what he looks like The difference is that in appearance, he is wearing a relatively clean and decent clothes. The goblin's name is Inter Scriint.

"Greetings to the Grand Duke of Aquitaine." The three of them came to the front at the same time and saluted Li Huailin. Of course, the etiquette of the three of them is different. Except for Edwin's etiquette of human beings, the two of them here are practicing their respective races In short, it really feels a bit strange for these three people to be together like this.

"Oh, no courtesy." Li Huailin waved and said, "Sit down."

The private room is very large and has a lot of seats. Li Huailin casually pointed to the seat next to him, and the three of them sat down immediately. Li Huailin also sat opposite to each other. After looking at the situation, Li Huailin still wanted to see this Eddie first. What the hell is going on with Van Malindorf.

"Are you Edwin Malindorf, the son of former Marshal Malindorf?" Li Huailin asked first.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Duke." Edwin said a little excitedly, "I already knew that my father had passed away, but I didn't come back until recently. It's great to see you."

"Recently?" Li Huailin asked a little strangely. In fact, this is the case. Of course, the human empire blocked the news from the outside world in the case of the previous coup. I didn’t know the whole thing until the end, and because there was no new diplomatic relationship established between the new empire and the dwarf country, there was no way for the two sides to communicate with each other for the time being. Edwin received an order from the new king Anthony, ordering him and the dwarf country He continued to negotiate to re-establish the covenant relationship between the two parties, which made him temporarily unable to return to China.

Everyone knows the aftermath.

With the efforts of Edwin, the dwarf kingdom here recognized the regime of the new human empire and established a covenant relationship, but when Edwin wanted to return to the country, a major event happened immediately. The human empire and the elves The empire declared war, which was the war triggered by Li Huailin. This war caused the dwarf country, which is also an ally, to be very nervous. They didn't know what to do, so they could only contact the diplomat Edwin on the human side immediately, and Edwin was arrested again. I can't go back.

Afterwards, the battle between humans and elves ended, and Edwin finished the rest of the matter, but just as he was about to come back, the Northland War broke out again, and the dwarf kingdom no longer knew what the human empire was thinking, and he was an ally again. , So the Dwarf Empire here began to look for Edwin again, dragging it back and forth like this, until now when the Dwarf Empire sent an ambassador to visit the Human Empire, Edwin took the opportunity to follow him back.

"Have you been home?" Li Huailin asked.

"Yes, I have already paid homage to my father." Edwin said, and suddenly stood up after speaking, "Grand Duke of Aquitaine, I must thank you, your kindness to me, I will never forget it in my life , please accept my worship."

After finishing speaking, Edwin knelt down and kowtowed deeply to Li Huailin.

"Oh... oh, that's right." Li Huailin was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately understood that he seemed to have forgotten that he hacked his father to death, and he seemed to have no problem being grateful to him, probably. This guy's favorability for him had already increased when he hacked to death Marindorf, so Li Huailin didn't receive any system prompts. Of course, Li Huailin couldn't find such a distant system record.

"Oh, there is no need to perform such a big gift." Li Huailin said quickly, "I just did what I should do, please don't thank me like this."

"No, my lord, please let me thank you properly." Edwin said excitedly, "You are the great benefactor of our entire clan."

Then Li Huailin and Edwin chatted for a while, mainly asking about the current situation of Edwin. Now Malindorf's original title of Earl has been inherited by Edwin. In addition, Veronica, who is still serving in the Second Army, has also won the title of Baron because of her military exploits. Edwin is still in the Dwarf Kingdom. He is serving as the Minister of Foreign Affairs. After returning to worship this time, he still has to return to the dwarf country to continue his reinstatement.

"Oh, that's it." Li Huailin nodded, and thought about it for a while. Although Edwin didn't seem to be a threat to him, he didn't seem to think much about the Marshal of the Second Legion, but after all, he was If the orthodox heir is used by others, he may still cause trouble for him, so it is best to go abroad.

"By the way, Grand Duke, I came to you today mainly to introduce you to two people." Edwin took the opportunity to say that he mainly introduced others as an intermediary today. He naturally remembered this purpose, so he began to introduce people around him. Two, "This one is the ambassador of the Dwarf Kingdom, Mr. Olfger Dett, the general ambassador of the Human Empire this time."

"I would like to pay my highest respect to the Grand Duke of Aquitaine." Oufuge stood up immediately and said.

"Well, hello Ambassador Oufuge." Li Huailin nodded slightly.

"And this one is Mr. Inte, the president of the Cellot Chamber of Commerce." Edwin pointed to the goblin here and introduced.

"President of the Cellot Chamber of Commerce?" Li Huailin here is a little strange. He thought that this goblin was also an official. He didn't expect that he was the president of the Chamber of Commerce, that is to say, someone without a title. On this occasion, he could meet such a People here are really weird.

"Hello Grand Duke, I am Inte, and I extend my highest respect to you." Inte said quickly.

"Oh." Li Huailin nodded slightly, but he didn't care about Internet for the time being, but turned to the dwarf ambassador Ofuge here, "Is there anything the dwarf ambassador wants to do with me? Is it related to this mission to the Human Empire?" Related? May I know your purpose this time?"

"Of course there is no problem. I came to meet the Grand Duke this time for this purpose. Tomorrow, I will formally submit my credentials to His Royal Highness the King of the Human Empire at the court meeting. Today I will say hello to the Duke." Oufuge said, From the point of view of words, he is a relatively experienced diplomat, because speaking makes people feel very comfortable, and he starts to exalt your status unconsciously.

"What's the matter?" Li Huailin asked.

"It's a problem with the Marseilles Liumu area. Our king Aoli wants to reclassify the Marseilles Liumu area into the territory of the Dwarf Kingdom," Oufuge said.

"Marseille Liumu area?" Li Huailin had never heard of this, so he asked a little strangely.

"Grand Duke, the Marseille Liumu area is the buffer zone between us and the dwarf country." Edwin took the initiative to explain to Li Huailin.

Like the Elven Empire, there are also some disputed territories between the Dwarf Kingdom and the Human Empire. When the Three Kingdoms formed an alliance before, the issue of these disputed territories was temporarily put aside, but now the alliance has been more than a hundred years old. Now, these problems are slowly beginning to be raised and resolved.

The Marseille Liumu area just mentioned by Oufuge is also a relatively controversial area between the two countries. It is a wasteland with no aborigines at all, so I don’t know which territory it is, but the Marseille Liumu area has Hematite, which is very rich in reserves, is a very desirable resource for the dwarf empire, but humans do not value it very much, because humans have not yet had the technology to refine hematite, and now there is only The dwarves have this technology, so this mining area is not very useful to humans now, but the human empire still does not give up this territory. After all, there is no such technology now, what about in the future? This is not sure.

And now there is also a problem in the dwarf country, that is, the output of the large iron mines in its own territory has decreased, resulting in an extreme reduction in the iron production of the dwarf country, so the dwarf country here has set its sights on the Marseilles. The purpose of this negotiation is to obtain the iron ore in this area. Even if they cannot obtain the territorial sovereignty of this area, they must also obtain the right to mine minerals.

Tomorrow, Oufuge will submit the letter of credence at the court meeting to formally start negotiating this issue, but today he must first meet Li Huailin, the biggest dignitary in the empire, and check his tone first. If Li Huailin objects, he will immediately Go back and report to the dwarf king Aoli. After all, Li Huailin's deterrent power is really not covered.

"Oh, so." Li Huailin nodded, and then began to think. rs
