The first thousand four hundred and fifty-nine chapters meet the messenger
Half a month goes by in a blink of an eye.
On the morning of the wedding banquet, the sky just turned a little white.
Most of the residents of Shenglong City were still sleeping, so Jia Zhengjin was woken up and went to the palace early to prepare.
"Lord Keen, there is news from the fortress that envoys from many countries have arrived with congratulatory gifts, and they will arrive at Holy Dragon City soon!" Prime Minister Megan looked at Jia Zhengjin, who was sleepy and not yet fully awake, respectfully.
Jing said, "My subordinates have sent people to prepare for the ceremony. When the gift is presented, envoys from various countries will come back in turn to pay homage. You need to freshen up immediately, cheer up and don't lose your etiquette!"
"Okay, I get it!" Jia Zhengjin opened his mouth and yawned, looking a little listless.
"Then my subordinates will also arrange the specific content of the ceremony. Please don't be rude, Lord Keen. After all, this is a major event that concerns you!" Megan reminded again.
"Okay, I know it!" Jia Zhengjin waved his hand and asked her to go about her business.
After Megan left, he took out a bucket of water from his virtual backpack and directly washed his face and dressed up.
Half an hour later, Wolf came in and asked: "The envoy is waiting at the city gate. Are you ready to receive him?"
"Well! Let's begin!" Jia Zhengjin nodded, straightened his back and sat on the throne, trying his best to show his majestic side.
Not long after, I heard soldiers shouting loudly from outside: "His Majesty King Arthur of the Cangyan Empire is leading a delegation to celebrate——!!"
The sound continued from outside the city to the floating city, and then Wolf led the Cangyan Empire envoys to fly up to the floating city and quickly entered the palace.
Arthur arrived at Hailong City one day in advance, and then set off in the early morning before all the envoys, which shows how much he attaches importance to this trip.
Jia Zhengjin was also surprised when he heard that the first one to arrive was Cang Yan, one of the four great empires. In his opinion, for a country of this size, it doesn't matter if it arrives a little later, after all, the national strength lies there.
But since the other party is already here, sit down with a serious expression on your face.
"His Majesty King Arthur of the Cangyan Empire has led a delegation to celebrate——!!" Wolfe has been practicing this lingua franca for humans in other worlds for who knows how long. After all, it is a very important part of the ceremony. After so long, he
Finally, I no longer only know Mandarin, but have learned some commonly used common human languages.
Following Wolf's roll call, Arthur entered the palace with his daughter Fan Penny, Sky Flame Chelsea, adopted daughter Leah and many accompanying envoys, and solemnly walked to the steps and bowed their heads in salute.
Leah also received a letter early the day before, so she knew that her adoptive father and the Cangyan Empire envoy would come back very early today. She was also participating as the Cangyan Empire princess, so she came before the envoy arrived.
Wait at the fortress and then come back with us.
"The Cangyan Empire congratulates Lord Keen on his wedding! I wish Lord Keen and his wife a happy marriage and no disasters!" Arthur stood at the front of the envoys, bowed and congratulated loudly, "I came in a hurry and only prepared a small gift.
I hope Lord Keen won’t dislike it!”
Immediately, a member of the envoy group came forward with a beautiful treasure box. Wolf took the treasure box, made sure that there was nothing wrong with it, walked up the steps, and handed it to Jia Zhengjin himself.
It's quite heavy. What is it?
Jia Zhengjin opened the treasure box curiously and was stunned when he saw the information that appeared in front of him.
[System] You opened the [Cang Yan Empire’s Gift Sample Treasure Box]!
[System] You have obtained 1 iron ore!
[System] You have obtained 1 copper mine!
[System] You have obtained 1 aluminum ore!
[System] You have obtained 1 silver mine!
[System] You have obtained 1 gold mine!
[System] You have obtained 50 titanium alloys!
[System] You have obtained 100 titanium ores!
[System] You got 1 diamond!
[System] You have obtained the gift list!
"Why is there still titanium alloy? Where did you dig this thing, and can it be made into alloy? What's going on?" Jia Zhengjin couldn't help but ask after seeing the things inside.
"Ah? Titanium... titanium what?" Arthur looked confused, as did the other messengers behind him.
"Uh~wait a minute!" Jia Zhengjin saw that the other party didn't seem to know about titanium alloys and titanium ore, so he thought to himself that he couldn't have known what the gift was before he came here.
By the way! Isn’t this a gift list?
I quickly picked up the gift list and took a look, and found that the gifts from the Cangyan Empire were 4 carts of iron ore, 4 carts of copper ore, 4 carts of aluminum ore, 4 carts of silver ore, and 4 carts of gold mine. As for the titanium alloy, titanium ore, and
Diamonds are not included in the list.
In other words, the number 1 shown in the front is the gift sample prepared by the other party, and the following items should be randomly generated by the system. After all, Jia Zhengjin will get something randomly every time he opens the treasure box.
"It's okay, it's okay!" After thinking about it, Jia Zhengjin quickly waved his hand, "But why is it ore? I remember that Cangyan Empire is not a place rich in ore?"
"Lord Keen," Arthur was a little embarrassed, "please forgive my humble gift. But after two wars, the Cangyan Empire is indeed in financial difficulty now, not to mention the funds for building cement roads."
"It's not that I don't think this gift is good, I just feel confused!" Jia Zhengjin said with a smile, "Actually, Shenglong City is currently short of various mineral resources. On the contrary, this gift is quite good."
Hearing what he said, Arthur secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Lord Keen, although our Cangyan Empire is not that rich in minerals, there are still mineral veins. And there is another consideration in using minerals as a gift this time."
"Oh? Tell me."
"It's like this," Arthur lowered his head and said, "Currently our country's treasury is empty, and gold coins are needed in many places. But I am at a loss and don't know how to raise funds. So I took advantage of this wedding banquet to send some ore samples, hoping to
Please Mr. Keen to appraise it. If you are satisfied, I am willing to sell the domestic minerals to Shenglong City at the best price, just in exchange for gold coins to solve the problem of empty treasury..."
After speaking, he secretly looked up at Jia Zhengjin and observed his expression.
Jia Zhengjin held his chin and thought for a moment. It is true that Holy Dragon City has been consuming all kinds of resources very quickly recently. Several mining sites and the minerals provided by the dwarves cannot fill the gap. Naturally, the more mineral resources, the better, Arthur
This suggestion really struck a chord with him.
But he himself is short of gold coins! If he wants to buy a large amount of minerals from the other party, he must prepare a lot of gold coins. After all, they are used to replenish the treasury, so they will not agree to barter.
If you think about it carefully, it's actually not too difficult to earn gold coins. It's really not possible to trade all the gold and silver ores in their batch of gifts into gold coins, and then auction some valuable props.
The other party has gold and silver mines, and the gold coins should be smelted by themselves. Probably because the process is not that fast, it is too late to fill the treasury emptiness, so they will be sold directly for money. (To be continued)
