Sword of Daybreaker

The eyes of the two Primordial Dragons fell on them at the same time, with such obvious expectations in their eyes, which made Melita, who was once used to eating together and waiting to get paid, suddenly shrank her neck subconsciously, but she is today. After all, it was not the past. After the initial tension passed, she pointed to herself: "Is this candidate..."

"You are the most suitable," Speaker Andar said in a low voice, "Among the younger generation, you have the most contact with the continent of Loren, and you have a personal relationship with Gawain Cecil. Personally, you are also good at Get in touch with changes and deal with unexpected situations—Talrond has been closed for too many years and has gone through a devastating war. Now we can’t find many diplomats like you.”

Melita opened her mouth. In fact, halfway through the discussion between the two leaders, she guessed that things would develop like this, but at this time she couldn't help but whispered: "But I...have some personal matters... …"

  Hragor looked over curiously, and said warmly: "Private matters?"

   "I have to go home to incubate the egg..." Melita said embarrassedly, "Noretta and I just claimed a dragon egg."

  Speaker Andal immediately recalled, and nodded slightly: "I seem to have heard Duke Moore mention this matter. Noretta submitted the application last week."

Melita felt a little ashamed—Talrond was in need of herself now, and she felt that she shouldn’t affect the overall situation because of her personal problems, but she still couldn’t help mentioning the matter of going home to incubate her eggs, after all, let Noretta She was really sorry to take care of the dragon egg by herself. But at this moment she had a decision in her heart, and the final judgment on this matter was left to the two leaders. After all... the work of the permanent ambassador is more important, and the matter of taking care of the dragon egg is not so urgent.

   "Let's do it, I have a suggestion," Herragor said suddenly, "you can take the dragon egg to Cecil-if the situation requires, you can also ask for help from Gawain Cecil."

  "Take the dragon eggs to Cecil?" Merita suddenly widened her eyes in surprise, "You mean... let the young dragon hatch outside of Tarrond?"

"I don't think there is a problem," Andal on the side nodded slowly. "In the past, we used to forbid the dragon egg to be taken away from Tarrond, let alone the wyrmlings that hatched outside of Tarrond, but that Because of the existence of the'cradle', the times have changed, and this outdated law should be obsolete like many other laws of the old age-we will open the door to the outside world, and more and more dragons will go there. Working or living in Loren Continent, it is normal to allow dragon eggs to be carried."

   "Ah, I have no objection to this," Merita said immediately, "But Noretta...It hasn't been long since she took care of the dragon egg. If I take the egg away, will she..."

"She can serve as your liaison officer, responsible for the connection between Tarrond and Cecil, and as a messenger before the communication is rebuilt. If one day we rebuild the cross-sea channel, she can also serve as your diplomatic assistant—— Of course, this is a preliminary plan," said Speaker Andar. "As a permanent ambassador, you can’t go to Cecil by yourself, and Noretta was your logistics assistant during the Mithril Treasury. You two There is a tacit understanding of cooperation. Do you think this arrangement is appropriate?"

  Merita blinked, and then laughed: "Of course it can!"

  This arrangement is more than appropriate-it has far exceeded her expectations.

But when she was satisfied, she was a little worried: "There has never been a young dragon hatched outside of Tarrond before. After all, the magical environment of Loren Continent is different from here. The dragon egg can really be there. Is it safe to hatch?"

"You should have more confidence in the vitality of the dragon egg, it is not as fragile as you think," Herragor said, with a slightly weird look on his face, "and you are going to Cecil... ...Gavin Cecil can even hatch the gods."

  Merita couldn’t help reminding herself: “In fact, it’s not hatched...the last time I saw it, it was still an egg.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt that her sentence was inappropriate, and her words seemed to lack respect for the dragon gods of the past. However, when she wanted to change her words, she found that what she said was true from beginning to end. She couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He raised his head, but met the same embarrassing glances from the two dragon leaders.

   "...Let's change the subject," Herragor finally broke his silence, "for example, discuss the details of the economic revitalization plan."

   Speaker Andal nodded immediately: "I agree."

  ……

The bright and warm sunshine spread over the paths and flowerbeds of the Long Branch Manor, making the stream flowing through the manor glow with sparkling waves. Pei Dinan Wendell stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the manor hall, a balcony from the second floor. The hanging flower vines swayed gently outside the French windows, the vines were luxuriant with green leaves and decorated with flowers.

After the harsh and long winter, the cold and short spring, the summer of Alder South Plain has finally arrived. The luxuriant summer is unfolding its magnificent picture on this land, and the scene of lush foliage in the wilderness is for everyone It is a good sign, people in the manor and small town often say this these days-most of the days in the second half of the year are getting better.

  For Grand Duke Perdinant, who is getting old, this is indeed a good day-the hardest time is over, the precious family members have returned to him, and today is his happiest day since he returned from the battlefield of Winterhold.

  The Wendell family is loyal to the empire and has outstanding meritorious services, but these years have gradually faded. He can't afford to lose another granddaughter.

"Aldernan is creating momentum for your return. In the military's propaganda caliber, you will be a hero who has kept the Winter Wolf elite and prevented the border from getting out of control. Your Majesty will personally honor you and hold a welcome ceremony. The parliament has basically been taken care of, and no one will embarrass you and your subordinates. "The old man did not look back. He knew that Andesa was standing behind him. "As for now, the news is announced. Your injury has not healed and you need to continue to cultivate for a while in Changzhi Manor-you can adjust your state during this time and learn more about the changes in the country during this period, but except for people you can trust, it is best not to Meeting guests."

  It’s been a long time since my grandfather taught herself this way—Andersa couldn’t help but think so.

She is no longer a little girl who has just entered the military and political circles. There are many things that do not need to be taught by others, but at this moment, she still listens carefully, and did not break the silence until the old duke finished saying: "So your majesty let me temporarily Leaving the imperial capital and resting in the Changzhi Manor, this is essentially a kind of protection-I will return to the position of General Wolf?"

"Of course this is a kind of protection," the old prince nodded and said, "As for the position of'General Wolf', Andesa-your title has never been taken away. You will return to the army, and you will return soon. Winter Wolf Hold, Your Majesty trusts you. He knows what you have done to preserve the interests of the empire. There is no more suitable candidate than you in the northwestern frontier of the empire. And..."

  The words of the old duke stopped for a while, and Andesa couldn’t help asking: "And what?"

"After the First Battle of Winterhold, the empire suffered a lot of losses. The madness inflicted a lot of damage on us than outsiders guessed. I won’t tell you the specific data here. You can go back slowly. Understand, you only need to know that many famous legions were removed after that battle, including several national knights, and a large number of officers were killed. Among the dead, there are many high-ranking generals... the Winter Wolf Legion and In this situation, the entire legion command system will assume the role of the mainstay. Even to a certain extent, you are the only elite force on the northwest border of the empire with a fairly complete organization."

  Andesa made no sound, but she couldn't help but choke her breath.

   "Now, you should further understand why His Majesty has spent so much time and effort to shape your status as a hero, so that you can return to the empire smoothly and smoothly and regain control of the military."

"There is no general available..." Andesa muttered to herself with a complicated expression, and then sighed slightly, "Fortunately, the empire has passed the most dangerous stage. Now that the alliance is established, we don't have to worry about the outside world at least for the time being. As long as the situation within the empire can remain stable for a period of time, most of the pressure will be relieved with the economic recovery brought about by international trade..."

  Duke Perdinand turned around and looked at Andesa somewhat unexpectedly: "I didn't expect you to start paying attention to this kind of thing now-Andesa in my memory is a child who never cared about business and internal affairs."

"...After all, there was nothing to do when I was in Solinburg." With a trace of embarrassment on Andesa's face, she began to reflect on whether she had neglected this "homework" in the past. "When I was free, I would find some Reading books, as well as newspapers and radio. In my opinion, Cecil’s newspapers and radio are very useful for reference. Although the format is popular, their content is all-encompassing. Both ordinary people, scholars and politicians have the opportunity to find useful information. The things that make oneself think are different from the similar things we have been promoting."

Duke Perdinand’s eyes were dark for a while. He listened to Andesa’s words, but he couldn’t help thinking of a long conversation with himself after Emperor Rosetta returned to Aldernan not long ago, and the things mentioned in the conversation. ——The right to think, regardless of class, status, or status.

In Aldernan, many aristocrats questioned this, stupid people dismissed it as meaningless, and smart people realized that this would further shake the foundation of the aristocratic community, but Pei Dinan knew that with the theocracy several copies Disclosure of internal documents, these voices of doubt will soon be like words on the beach, and will disappear when the next wave comes.

He shook his head, temporarily left the irrelevant associations in his mind behind, and looked up and down Andesa: "It sounds like your attitude towards Cecil has changed a lot-in the past, you hardly Will make any positive comments about people and things on that land."

  "Will this change in attitude affect the evaluation of me by Aldernan's upper class?"

"Yes, especially during the time you just returned to the Empire from Cecil, countless pairs of eyes are waiting for you to make comments in this regard-although the alliance has now been established, and peace has become everyone’s consensus, there is no The nerves of the few people are still tight, and in the long run, we really need to have such a group of people with tight nerves," Pei Dinan said directly, "So you have to control your own in public. Words, of course, I also know that you can definitely handle this problem yourself."

Having said this, the old man paused before looking at his granddaughter with curiosity: "Then, now you can talk about it, what made you change your view of that piece of land? You no longer hate what happened in the past. Is it?"

"Gavin Cecil is indeed a respectable person, and there are many things worth learning from that land, besides..." Andesa considered the vocabulary, but she couldn't help but hesitate when she said the second half of the sentence. When she got up, she hesitated again and again, and finally made up her mind, "Besides, father is still alive."

Grand Duke Pei Dinan’s expression froze in an instant, and his whole person lost his reaction like petrification. After a full ten seconds, the old man took a breath as if suddenly remembering how to breathe, and stared at Andesa’s face with wide eyes. : "What did you say?! You said Bud he... he is still alive?"

   "Yes, my father is still alive," Andesa took a light breath, she finally organized her language, and the next half of the sentence became extra smooth, "He's in Cecil."

"He's in Cecil?!" Duke Perdinand opened his mouth, and countless thoughts flashed in the old man's heart for a time. His thoughts were chaotic like never before, and it took a lot of effort to maintain the ability to think, "You mean, Was he captured? Was he captured by the Anzui? Is he a prisoner of Cecil now? Or..."

"Calm down, grandfather," Andesa couldn't help but stepped forward and grabbed her grandfather's arm. She didn't expect that this old man, who is known for his strong, calm, and majestic empire, would one day be so awkward, but she thought of herself just now. On the day she met her father, she knew that her chaos was no better than Perdinan now. "I know what you are thinking, but things are more complicated than you think. My father was not affected by Sisi. A prisoner of Er, he was not captured by Anzu back then. He...he has experienced a lot of things. Now he is no longer what you know, but he is still a reliable and upright person."

"He..." Pei Dinan opened his mouth. He thought of Andesa's character. With her character, there is only one possibility to tell a thing in such a mouthful way, that is, the matter is really complicated to an unimaginable degree. "What is he doing now?"

  "He is a researcher in the Cecil Empire."

  "Researcher? You mean the kind of book-study...a general who has become a scholar now?"

"Yes."

   "Then what is he studying?"

   "I don't quite understand, but I seem to be studying how to monitor some kind of...signal from a distance. It is not a secret there, but even if it is discussed publicly, few people can understand it."

   "So he has become a very...high-level scholar?"

   "It seems like this."

   "The ancestors of the family," Duke Pei Dinan couldn't help covering his forehead, "What the hell...what happened?"
