Chapter 197 Return
Several major events have happened recently in Nysburg, the capital of the Horn League.
First, Baroness Fanny, the visiting sister-in-law of the Grand Duke of Eton, was kidnapped, which almost led to the collapse of various agreements that had been negotiated between the Corner Bay Alliance and the Eton Mansion. Fortunately, the gangsters who kidnapped the Baroness were stopped by Eaton's royal guards when they tried to leave Nisborg. They rescued Baroness Fanny, who had been kidnapped for several days, and the negotiations between the two countries could continue. However, the specific identity of the gangster is still a mystery, and Eaton has not disclosed it to the outside world.
Then there was the wolf howling incident that day. The wolves in the forest outside the city suddenly howled collectively in the middle of the night, which reminded many locals of the ancient legends from a hundred years ago, and adults began to take this matter seriously. Come and scare the children. If you don't obey again, you will be snatched away by wolves. Fortunately, the wolf cubs only howled twice and did not attack the human village as described in the legend.
But there are still unlucky people. Several pedestrians and their horses were killed by wolves in the middle of the night. Only a skeleton was left after being torn apart. Judging from their remaining clothes and armor, Look, it must be the knights of the church who discovered large-scale wolf activity in the area near them.
In order to appease the panicked people and business travelers, both the city hall and the church issued bounty missions, summoning adventurers to hunt wolves outside the city. For a time, adventurers from all over the city gathered in Niceburg, and the wolves outside the city were in trouble.
There is another major event. The Corner Bay Alliance has sent invitations to many countries in the region, asking their leaders to hold a multinational conference in Nicesburg. During the conference, a series of political and economic cooperation will be reached. The conference is currently under way. Preparations are in full swing.
Quiller clearly felt that his father was smiling more and more recently.
Of course Marquis Foster was happy that the wife and sister of Archduke Eton had been found. Initially, the Council was worried that the Grand Duke and his family would just leave, but now it seems to be unnecessary. The Archduke of Eton continued to stay in Nisborg to carry out various negotiations with the Council, and Ping would participate in the subsequent multinational conference.
A particularly important point is that the Archduke of Eton hated the church. Before, he was hesitant and undecided about the cooperation between the two countries against the church. However, when the new round of talks between the two sides began, the archduke directly expressed his hatred for the church. Swearing. During the meeting, the Archduke revealed two things. It was the church that kidnapped his wife and sister. It seemed that the Corner Bay Alliance's plan to unite countries to fight against the church had been leaked. However, before he was ready to join the alliance, the church used this despicable method to deal with him.
The young and energetic Archduke Eton was directly angered and decided to side with the Alliance without hesitation, and was ready to work with the Alliance in the next multinational conference to urge the leaders of various countries to rebel against the church.
However, due to various reasons, the Principality of Eaton has not disclosed to the outside world that the church was behind the kidnapping case.
The members of the Alliance Council couldn't help but feel happy that the church had really shot itself in the foot. Plans leaked? If it's leaked, let's leak it. Anyway, the conflicts between the two sides are increasing day by day and it's already a semi-public thing.
With the pressure on official matters lessened, Marquis Foster began to turn his attention to his own private affairs. He also took the time to meet with Quick and several business representatives, and gave everyone an introduction to various commodities in the northwest. Appreciate it and hope to further strengthen cooperation in the future.
Several business representatives were flattered. It was the first time for them to see such a high-status noble. Although in Jiaowan, as long as you have money, you can get yourself a noble title for fun, but this time they were met by the Alliance. A member of the Council, a senior state official who holds substantial power.
They enthusiastically fawned over the Marquis and tried their best to flatter him lamely with a few words of Corner dialect they had just learned, which made Captain Quick, who was accompanying him, feel ashamed.
Several business representatives were immersed in the alternating cycle of happiness and loss during these days. They inspected the business industry in Nisburg in detail. Fortunately, the business opportunities here are so huge, and the lost ones It's because the business environment in the Northwest Bay lags behind by so many years compared to here.
After staying in Nisberg for five days, Captain Quick decided to return. Everyone hoped to return to the northwest bay before the advent of the end of the year. Although Cape Bay is prosperous, it is not his hometown after all. He still spends the holidays in his hometown. Live more comfortably.
......
"La Di, are you really unwilling to stay with me? Corner Bay is also your hometown after all. I heard that the northwest bay..."
In the back garden of the Eton Embassy, the Grand Duchess Helen once again persuaded her schoolgirl to stay.
La Di came to say goodbye. The next day she and her mother would take the Nanfang to leave Cape Bay.
"I am now Count Greyman's advisor. It would be really irresponsible to leave after only a few months. And the atmosphere here..."
"Alas..." Helen sighed. She knew that the other party was referring to the oppression of the church. Even as her own sister, they dared to take action. What could others not dare to do?
"I won't force you to stay. Now that you have found a life of your own, cherish it."
"Thank you, senior sister. You should be careful yourself."
< br>“Well, I have my own sense of proportion.”
“Sister Ladi!”
A pink little girl ran over and called Ladi in a sweet voice. Ogi.
"Our little Fanny is here!"
La Di picked up the little girl and spun her around, kissing her pink little face.
Fanny said coquettishly: "Sister said you are leaving. Don't go, please stay with me, okay?"
Helen said with a serious face: "Fanny, don't be ridiculous. "Sister Ladi has her own things to do."
Looking at the little girl's unwillingness, Ladi touched her head and said, "I will come back to see you. You have to listen obediently." My sister’s words.”
After the opening of the route between Northwest Bay and Angle Bay, the opportunities to travel between the two places will increase, and taking a boat is safer and faster than taking the land route.
"Yeah." Fanny nodded obediently.
Because she was kidnapped this time, she caused a lot of trouble for her sister and brother-in-law, and also sacrificed the lives of more than a dozen guards. This left a lot of psychological shadow on Fanny, and she was always in a state of self-consciousness. among the responsibilities.
Although the other party's method was unexpected in advance, she also had her own reasons: out of curiosity, she secretly experimented with her strange abilities without telling her sister, and the result was accidentally found out by someone who was interested.
After playing with Fanny in the back garden for a while, Ladi said goodbye to Helen.
"You still have a group of adventurer friends to say goodbye to, are they your former adventure companions?"
"Yes, we have made an appointment to have a dinner tonight."
"Go ahead. , I will go to the pier to see you off tomorrow morning."
Helen reluctantly saw Ladi out of the embassy in person.
