Chapter 358 The Guest Gaining a Foothold
Chapter 358 The Guest Gaining a Foothold
Just when Linde wanted to tell the little princess that the world is not as simple as helping or not helping, he found that Lena beside him was crying.
A little girl traveled across the ocean to seek help for her family. What an act of chivalry and justice.
Although Reina didn't act so exaggerated, Lind still noticed it keenly.
After sighing, Lind said, "Although I can't directly help your homeland right now, I will try my best to think of a way."
No matter what, if you want to intervene in the Sauron continent in the future, this little princess will be a good excuse. Just keep her for now. It won’t cost much anyway.
"I will host a dance party to welcome you two later. During this period, my foreign minister, Ms. Caroline, will continue to contact you two and tell you what you need to pay attention to when living in this country."
Rosalin wanted to say something, but the gray robe immediately answered for her: "Dear Governor, thank you for your generosity."
Then Lind continued to inquire about the news on the Sauron continent and let the two leave.
"Master, is this all right? The governor seems kind, why don't we let him continue to help us?"
In the carriage on the way to their new residence, Rosalin cautiously asked the gray robe for advice.
"Your Highness, the one who is easy to talk to is not the governor, but the lady next to the governor."
Gray Robe has been in the world for so many years, it's not that he is completely ignorant of political affairs and interpersonal relationships, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to sit in the position of National Master.
"The fact that the governor was willing to hold a ball to welcome us instead of continuing to talk to us privately shows that he has placed us in the position of a normal country and allowed us to contact other noble officials of this country. Then we can slowly discuss the subsequent assistance."
Gray Robe patiently explained to Rosaline the relationships and subtle changes.
"Of course, Your Highness, we also need to prepare some things and promise some benefits. Only in this way can the officials and nobles of this country help us lobby and support Castile."
Rosalin was confused: "But Master, haven't we already arrived at Mu Continent and found the elves? Why don't the elves help us directly?"
The gray robe sighed slightly. His Highness was still too naive, but this was also the reason why His Highness could set foot on this land without hesitation: "Castile is too far away for the people and elves on this continent. Even the elves cannot rush to Castile to support us without any help. So we must give some "help" to the elves and the governor. Only by helping each other can the relationship between the two sides last. Do you understand, Your Highness?"
To put it simply, you can't expect the other party to make unilateral efforts. The so-called help is actually a price. Rosalin nodded ignorantly. It really didn't seem right to ask others to help her without giving anything.
Although Rosaline seemed to understand, the man in gray was still worried. The price the governor wanted might not be that simple. It could be seen from the very beginning that the meeting was held in a private setting such as the study. The other party probably did not regard Castile as a complete country at the beginning. He did not intend to publicize the matter too much, nor did he intend to give Castile a reason to bargain.
Gray Robe could sense that, at first, the governor might have only considered the two and Castile as a tool or springboard to understand or even control parts of Solon and fight against the Avars.
However, the other party's attitude changed subtly afterwards. Gray Robe did not think that this change was because the governor was moved after listening to His Highness's story.
"Your Highness, you must get along well with the wife of the Governor General. You must! I will also send people to investigate what the wife of the Governor General likes these days. You must try your best to learn what the wife of the Governor General likes!"
Seeing the serious look on Gray Robe's face, Rosalin nodded and said, "I understand, don't worry, Imperial Master. My father praised my etiquette course, and I will definitely be able to get along well with that lady."
Although she didn't know why she had to get along well with the Governor's wife, Rosalyn was now full of confidence.
The news that the princess from another continent was staying in the royal capital spread quickly.
Although there had been guests from another continent before, they were just envoys after all, and the one who came this time was a princess.
As we all know, from nobles to adventurers, there is basically no resistance to the attribute of a foreign princess who suffers for her kingdom and is stranded in a foreign land.
So during these days, in addition to learning etiquette and common sense of the country with Caroline, Rosaline also met some particularly curious nobles.
However, when these nobles saw Rosaline, the expressions on their faces were indescribable.
Rosaline's aristocratic etiquette was indeed excellent. Not only did she learn the basic etiquette of this country in a short period of time, but she also taught these nobles some interesting etiquette of Castile.
But age... Rosalyn is too young.
Not much older than Ruby, the Governor's wife's sister.
The preferences of the Capetian nobles have actually always been quite normal, with Clan being the only heretic, but even Lilith's is legal.
Even though Lilith was legal, poor Clan was still criticized by Alberto in Anjou for this matter after his death.
The Gray Robe was not idle either. In addition to learning about the history of this continent in his spare time, he was also recruited by Lind many times.
During this period, Lind mainly asked the Gray Robe about the specific situation of Castile, some customs on another continent, and to see if there was any magic worth referring to, especially super-level magic.
After all, Avar has abused super-level magic for so long, and each country on the continent of Sauron also has its own research on super-level magic.
Although most of the time it was Lind who was asking questions to the Gray Robe unilaterally, but from the few words that Lind uttered and the stories of the nobles in the royal capital, the Gray Robe gradually realized that what he had seen and understood before was just the tip of the iceberg of the combat effectiveness of the Northern Governor's army.
Especially after confirming that the concept of musket was first proposed by this governor, and after coming into contact with the muskets collected by the nobles in the royal capital.
If these muskets and cannons could be brought back, as long as His Highness could be saved, and if we casually portrayed how His Highness had braved danger and obtained these muskets for Castile, then His Highness's reputation would probably reach a terrifying level.
The most important thing is that these muskets and cannons are really much stronger than those purchased by the Avars from Anjou.
The governor always mentioned this matter to the gray robes intentionally or unintentionally. The muskets could naturally be used as assistance, as long as Castile paid a "small price".
This was like the devil's temptation. Gray Robe knew that this might drag Castile into the bottomless abyss, but it was difficult for Gray Robe to refuse.
"Your Excellency, Governor General, Capet has a strong army now, why don't you take the initiative to attack?"
Gray Robe threw these thoughts out of his mind and changed the topic to chat with Linde.
"Of course we have to fight."
Lind took the national railway map handed to him by Lucanus.
"But since we have to fight, we must be well prepared and fight until we win completely!"
