Chapter 61: Don’t Let Your Guard Down
In short, after three days of diplomatic work, Zelun saw the first batch of envoys from the Holy Church coming to Sugui City.
But as everyone guessed, Zelun, as an emperor who basically delegated power, did not need to ask about everything. As long as the Congress could handle the relevant matters, he would continue to prepare his combat uniform in the Linmington Weapons Company.
What's more, the envoys of the Holy Church were all dressed in white and wearing sun hats, which was really not good-looking. And if he wanted to look good, he could sleep with eight girls every night. Now he has a beautiful face and a great figure, and in the future he will have dinner with girls who are more charming than one.
As for the saint who makes many men want to take a look, sorry, the Holy Church is not so stupid that it would send such an important character as an envoy. And as a church organization that promotes monogamy, the members of the Holy Church are very disgusted with the polygamy of the Krurod Empire. Therefore, in the past, even if the Holy Church had diplomatic relations with the Krulod Empire, or some more formal meetings, the church would never allow female members, and would even only send male members to the Krulod Empire.
Of course, if the Krulod Empire needed to send someone to the Holy Church to do business, the Holy Church would only allow male members to entertain the envoys of the Krulod Empire.
If it was a woman... Sorry, the Krulod Empire has clearly stipulated in the law that female citizens are not allowed to leave the border. Anyway, there is a common understanding between the Krulod Empire and the Holy Church.
Female members will not appear.
Zelen can only say that there is cooperation between everyone, but there is more caution and vigilance. Especially after the development of witch hunting ammunition, the first object of combat experiment was the priest of the Holy Church who was still in a hostile relationship in the past.
The bloody scene of the priest's right half body being blown up by a single shot made the Holy Church continue to use radio or other media channels to publicize the horror of witch hunting ammunition and scold the Japanese for how cruel they are.
That's right.
The priests, mages, even cultists and so-called gods who were hit by witch hunting ammunition would all have magic disorder without exception. Unable to control or poorly mastering magic, the magic in the bodies of these unlucky people who were hit would go out of control, thus driving a serious magic explosion.
According to statistics from the Krurod Empire later, the higher the magic in the body, the stronger the explosion. Therefore, later, witch hunting ammunition evolved from simple bullets to artillery shells, and the magic explosions it created made the top leaders of the Holy Church extremely afraid.
So, the Holy Church, which had a bad historical relationship, can now take the initiative to come to the Krurod Empire to discuss the matter of resisting global decline. This should be considered a breakthrough in diplomatic relations?
Is it?
No matter, the Congress will handle it anyway. As for him... he was looking at the combat uniforms hanging on the clothesline, and he was worried about what would happen in the future.
As an emperor, he must find time to visit the front line to comfort the soldiers. Even though the royal guards like Eugent would definitely protect their safety, they would be absolutely vigilant against every soldier who approached them.
Especially after he heard that Bondi Fortress finally harassed the pig-headed people at the foot of the mountain and the black-haired people and forced them to retreat, causing the mountain villages near the fortress to be re-incorporated into the control of the Krurod Empire, he needed to consider whether to visit the front line to comfort them.
Of course, before that, he learned from Bourne that the navy was fighting with the fleet of the Akitsu Empire this week. If he wanted to go to Awa Island, he had to wait until the end of this naval battle.
But he was not worried that the navy would lose, especially after Yasmin's idea was accepted by the army, there were several cases of members of the Akitsu Empire fleet killing each other on the ship, which gave the navy on his side the initiative at sea.
The only thing was the mecha unit of the Akitsu Empire.
Although according to the information provided by the Ministry of National Defense, several cities on Pro Island were infected with zombie viruses, which forced the mecha troops of the Akitsu Empire to concentrate on Pro Island for large-scale disinfection operations.
But we can't relax.
Before all the pig-headed people of the Akitsu Empire were sent into the sea to feed the fish, Zelun must not relax at all.
"Your Majesty, a representative of the Congress came to see you. I heard that the envoy of the Holy Church wanted to give you a gift in person."
However, something that made Zelun wonder if he had heard it wrong still happened.
The Holy Church wanted to see him?
In the past, no matter what the situation was, the Holy Church would try not to see the Emperor of the Krurod Empire.
What does it mean now?
Give gifts?
And give gifts in person?
Hmm...
Go to the Congress to take a look?
As a result, after Zelun changed into a formal dress and sat in the reception room of the Congress building, he saw eight middle-aged men in white uniforms bowing to him on their own initiative.
"We are representatives of the Holy Church, and we are here to present gifts from the Church to His Majesty the Emperor of the Krulod Empire. Please accept them."
When the leading envoy said such a paragraph, Zelen looked at a small wooden box with a blank face. When Eugent opened it, the blue crystal inside made Zelen even more confused.
Zelen: "Excuse me, envoy, what is this gift?"
Envoy: "Our church designed and made the ice crystal stone by combining the engraving technology and artificial crystal technology. After all, the Krurod Empire is a tropical country. Having such an ice stone can make your majesty feel more comfortable."
Indeed.
The Krurod Empire is built on a tropical island. Even though sea breezes and even rainstorms often visit, the hot environment has not changed significantly.
However, the Rimai people are a relatively fire-resistant intelligent race. The hotter environment will not easily make the Rimai people suffer from the common summer disease of the human members of the northern Aisha continent-heatstroke.
But now... well, accept it first. Anyway, it is better for the other party to send gifts than to send nothing. At least the other party also knows what etiquette is and what respect is due.
Marietta: "Are the priests of the Holy Church looking down on us? It's not like we can't make this kind of crystal."
When it was time for dinner, Marietta couldn't help but mock the Holy Church's gift-giving behavior of being respectful on the surface but stingy and miserly on the inside.
Qin: "I think the Holy Church is likely to hope that Zelen can support them. After all, I heard from the Congress that the Holy Church is willing to pay 6 million Porats."
Marietta: "Are they so willing? But they just took such a frozen crystal..."
Zeren: "Whether it is useful or not is secondary, anyway, the intention is definitely there. Of course, with the way you change into sleeveless tops and short skirts as soon as you come back, I guess you definitely don't need it."
Just as Zelen said, the eight girls in front of him all wore one set of clothes outside and one set of clothes in the palace.
For no other reason, they deliberately dressed more refreshingly in front of him. Even if they wore it this way, they exposed more skin area, and even what was inside would be revealed from time to time. But they didn't mind at all.
The reason...
Actually, Paula and Yasmin had already said that they were ready to sleep with him. It's just that Zelen is busy now, and the eight of them have their own things to do, so they really don't have time.
If it were peacetime, Zelen would probably have asked them to wait for the birth of their baby.
Paula: "If you want, I can not wear it. But you can't stand it, so I... um... in a few years, I want to be the first."
Zelen: "I know. So, I don't care what you eight do. Of course, don't steal my things and sell them."
Camelia: "Don't worry, we will only steal from the place below the belly."
Zelen: "Then finish your dinner and take a shower quickly. I don't know what else I have to do tomorrow..."
