Wandering Knight Start: I have a simple data panel
Chapter 467 Freeport
In the famous free seaport of Lionheart Kingdom, a large number of black slaves are busy.
Royal guards wielding whips and with rapiers on their waists are supervising the work of black slaves.
Because the delegation from the distant Great Xia Empire is about to arrive, the free port has been constantly renovating these days.
As the big brother of the Western Continent, the Lionheart Kingdom has always had a special sense of pride.
It was not until they came into contact with the Great Xia Empire that they suddenly realized... It turned out that there was an empire far more powerful than the Lionheart Kingdom in the world.
For some face considerations, they naturally did not want to lose face in front of the Great Xia Empire.
So the crowded laborers at the dock were forced to change into clean clothes.
All the stone slabs were renovated and re-paved, and the ditches were cleaned over and over again, trying to avoid any dirt.
And the nobles could not stand beggars, so the beggars were driven away.
A large number of black slaves took buckets and brushes and cleaned the stains over and over again.
The entire free port was brand new. As the scheduled day arrived, well-dressed gentlemen came to the port one after another.
Various carriages competed with each other in splendor, and those who didn't know would think it was a carriage fair.
Even the noble ladies set up tables and chairs and leisurely drank a cup of tea from Daxia.
It is said that this is the favorite drink of His Majesty the Emperor, and it has been very popular in the Lionheart Kingdom recently.
The royal guards were dressed like fighting cocks, bright and eye-catching.
Two rows of salutes were neatly arranged, waiting for the arrival of the Daxia delegation.
Until the whistle sounded, the black smoke column could be clearly seen in the port, and the size of the Empire-class battleship stunned everyone.
A full sixteen ships, like sixteen small islands, approached with great pressure.
The Queen, as the guide ship, was as petite as an ant.
Everyone in the Lionheart Kingdom felt the tingling feeling of the scalp.
It was like a primitive man seeing a hunter with a rifle, the shock was huge.
Prince Charlie felt heavy in his heart as if a piece of iron was pressed down.
The Daxia Empire seen in the documents was far less shocking than seeing it with his own eyes.
Can such a gap really be caught up?
Of course, such a heavy topic just flashed through his mind at the moment.
Prince Charlie showed a perfect smile, showing eight teeth at a time, without any mistake.
The royal salute was fired 21 times in a row, which was a respect for the greatest empire in the world.
The young lady waving flowers stood in the front row to welcome the Earl from afar.
Even the nobles who pretended to drink tea stood on tiptoe and waited.
Of course, the dirty tool Mo had been driven away from the port. At this time, there must be no discordant things to tarnish the image of the kingdom.
The prince and princess were looking forward to seeing the strongest imperial figure in the world.
The lobster soldiers held their heads high, hoping to show the style of the kingdom.
The Empire-class battleship slowly approached the shore, and the steel made a huge noise, barely approaching the shore.
The Earl of the Great Xia Empire appeared on the bridge and waved to the bottom.
He was like a lord inspecting the territory, and also like a god looking down on the common people, high above and invincible.
Watching the black-clad imperial soldiers get off the warship, they communicated with the lobster soldiers of the Lionheart Kingdom and jointly took charge of the port's security.
After all, this is the territory of the Lionheart Kingdom, and it is difficult for the Earl who came from afar to take over the throne.
At least, the Lionheart Kingdom can launch a large-scale war mobilization on its homeland, and it is not possible to destroy their rule with one or two attacks.
Facing the vulnerable colonies of the Lionheart Kingdom, Earl Jeffreys Jr. is as evil as his homeland.
But facing the Lionheart Kingdom, which has the power to fight, he will put away his fangs and show his good side.
It is very realistic, but it is the way of survival between countries.
Similarly, the Duke of Harrington and others are servile and do everything possible to please Earl Jeffreys Jr., fearing that he will send troops to attack the colonies at any time.
From a geographical perspective, the Lionheart Kingdom is too far away, while the Great Xia Empire is too close.
But Prince Charlie and his entourage remain respectful but reserved.
Because they have the confidence to fight this ocean-going fleet, at least on land, they can launch waves of battles.
The handover of the guards is a sharp contrast between the status and attitude of both sides.
The guards, one black and one red, are like a dialogue between two countries.
In comparison, they are all carefully selected elites, and there is still a certain gap between those who are cheating and those who are not.
The people of the Lionheart Kingdom who were silently observing were very keenly aware of this, and then subconsciously lowered their heads.
When Earl Jeffreys got off the ship, he who had studied the language of the Lionheart Kingdom vaguely heard someone whispering.
"...It is said that the Great Xia Empire is known as the beacon of civilization, and it really looks very civilized..."
"I really envy them for being born in Great Xia. I heard that their air is sweet. I really want to smell it."
...
Earl Jeffreys's expression almost didn't hold back. Although he was praising his side, what kind of stupid remarks was this?
Are the nobles of the Lionheart Kingdom so ignorant?
After taking a look calmly to make sure it was not a deliberate arrangement, Earl Jeffreys looked complicated. He still underestimated the intelligence gap between humans.
Over there, Prince Charlie had taken the initiative to step forward, no more, no less than three steps.
He stretched out his hand, slightly at a disadvantage.
"Welcome, the noble Earl of Bactria, His Excellency Mr. Jefferies, I am the Lionheart Kingdom... Charlie, nice to meet you."
"Me too, Prince Charlie."
Little Earl Jefferys is very serious, and there is no hint of dissipation.
Talk about people when you see them, talk about ghosts when you see ghosts.
He has already maxed out this skill.
Prince Charlie introduced him to other princes and princesses, representatives of the upper and lower parliamentarians, and officials at all levels.
In terms of etiquette, Lionheart Kingdom has achieved the highest treatment.
They didn't want to be criticized for etiquette, especially when facing the powerful Daxia Empire.
Little Earl Jefferys did not want to stir up trouble and ended the reception. He and Prince Charlie got into the carriage and visited the Freeport together.
At this time, little Earl Jefferys noticed that the stone slabs under his feet were a little too new.
Why are the laborers waiting for work at the dock wearing new clothes?
Moreover, there is no garbage to be seen in the ditch, and the roads are full of well-dressed 'civilians', giving a scene of prosperity.
As the governor of the ruling party, he instantly understood what was going on.
"The Lion Heart Kingdom... is interesting." Young Count Jefferys was thoughtful. He cared so much about superficiality that he could analyze some of the situation of the royal family and even the bureaucrats.
This can also serve as a certain reference for little Earl Jefferys in subsequent negotiations.
