Although Simon was rejected and kicked away without even mentioning it, Jia Zhengjin still had to endure his depression and first rode the dragon up to the floating city.
Now there is a fixed group of girls in the floating city who are responsible for tidying up and cleaning, as well as providing food for every meeting or banquet. Every month, Jia Zhengjin will pay each of them 50 silver coins as a reward. This is definitely a good thing for them.
With a huge sum of money, in the past, they could barely make ends meet by picking wild fruits and planting them in the fields. After arriving in Thang Long City, the parents at home can plant fast-growing plants and fruits in the fields, and they don’t have to worry about food and drink. They also have this share.
The jobs are very well-paying and the life is much improved compared to other residents. So everyone works very seriously.
When Jia Zhengjin arrived at the palace, Prince Ambrose was already sitting closest to the steps of the throne, enjoying delicious barbecue.
Seeing Jia Zhengjin coming, he immediately put down the food and stood up in a hurry: "Lord Keen!"
"Yes!" Jia Zhengjin smiled and nodded, motioning for him to sit down. Then he walked up the steps, turned around and sat on the throne and looked down at Prince Ambrose.
"Lord Keen!!" The young girls working in the palace also gathered around and saluted him.
"You all go home first!" Jia Zhengjin looked at these girls and said, "I want to talk to Prince Ambrose about something important, and no one is allowed to listen. I will give you half a day off, and when you get down, tell the patrols not to
Let no one come up and disturb our meeting at this time!”
"Yes!!" Although they thought it was strange, the girls immediately accepted the order and retreated to the airport of the floating city, taking Ruruto back to the land.
Ambrose felt strange, because Jia Zhengjin usually had those girls present in his meetings with the generals in the city. Today, he suddenly and mysteriously drove everyone away, leaving only himself. What on earth did he want to say?
Seeing Ambrose's uneasy mood, Jia Zhengjin looked at him and said, "Relax, let's talk about some topics related to you."
"Is it related to me?" Ambrose was even more worried when he heard this, "Lord Keen, since I came to Holy Dragon City, I have worked conscientiously every day and have never been lazy!"
"I know!" Jia Zhengjin nodded, "Your performance is very good, everyone can see it. And your character is also good, my people are full of praise for you!"
"Then what exactly did you come to talk to me about?" Ambrose asked worriedly.
Jia Zhengjin did not answer directly, but asked instead: "Ambrose, how do you feel during the time you came to Holy Dragon City?"
Ambrose looked up at Jia Zhengjin's face and said seriously: "Here, I don't have to worry about being captured by the Beit Empire's army, and I can live a peaceful life. I think it's good!"
"Have you never thought about returning to your hometown?" Jia Zhengjin asked curiously.
After hearing this, Ambrose was silent for a while, and then sighed and said: "Who would be willing to wander outside all the time? But where is my home now? The Kingdom of Lodis has been annexed by the Beit Empire, and my father is still here.
My brothers and sisters were also brutally slaughtered! My home there... no longer exists!"
"But the citizens of the Kingdom of Lodis are still there. Maybe they are expecting you to go back to expel the enemy and regain your country?" Jia Zhengjin said, "Have you never thought about it?"
There was a sad look on Ambrose's face: "Of course I have thought about it, but how is it possible? Now the entire army of the King's Army has been wiped out, and all the loyal officers and soldiers have been killed! The Beit Empire is so powerful, just by me and the citizens
How can it be possible to regain the kingdom with the trivial thoughts in our hearts? I don’t have extravagant hopes, because I also know that it is impossible!”
"You are so unambitious!" Jia Zhengjin sighed, "If you don't even have this belief, how can you be worthy of the old king and your brothers and sisters who were massacred? How can you be worthy of the citizens who still have hope?"
"Lord Keen, could it be that you want to send troops to wish me to defeat the Bait Empire and regain my homeland?" Ambrose looked surprised when he heard what Jia Zhengjin said. Then his face darkened, "How is that possible? Sir Keen
Your main focus now is on dealing with the Human Empire coalition forces, how could you possibly divide your forces to help me regain my homeland at this critical moment?"
"You're right!" Jia Zhengjin nodded, "Of course I will not send troops to you to fight the Beit Empire. And my army is obviously not enough to help you achieve your goal!"
"What do you mean?" Ambrose looked disappointed.
"Ambrose! I want to ask you, how much belief do you have in revenge? Are you willing to pay any price to avenge your father and brothers and sisters and regain the country?" Jia Zhengjin looked at him and asked seriously.
"Why do Lord Keen ask that?" Ambrose raised his head in confusion.
"Just answer me, how much do you believe in revenge?" Jia Zhengjin stared into his eyes and continued to ask seriously.
Facing Jia Zhengjin's extremely serious eyes, Ambrose was silent for a few seconds and then raised his head and said loudly: "If I can regain the country and avenge my father, brothers and sisters, I will pay any price! Even this life.
No pity at all! I just don’t want to die meaninglessly, especially not to be killed by those cruel executioners! In that case, I won’t be able to see my father and brothers and sisters after I die!”
"Are you really willing to pay any price?" Jia Zhengjin asked him seriously again, "This is no joke! I want to get your exact answer."
Ambrose stared at Jia Zhengjin. He felt that Jia Zhengjin seemed to be intending to help him avenge his country, and a glimmer of hope arose in his heart: "Lord Keen, as long as I can get revenge, I am willing to give everything!"
"Even if you might be hated by the entire continent? Even if you might be hostile to most people?" Jia Zhengjin asked again.
Ambrose was stunned, wondering why he was hated by the people on this continent? Why was he hostile to most people? But seeing Jia Zhengjin’s serious eyes, he thought that this might really be his chance for revenge, just in case.
After missing it, there may be no more! So he immediately stood up and said loudly: "I would like to swear to Kullman, the goddess of thorns, as long as I can avenge the Beit Empire, as long as I can avenge my father and all my brothers and sisters, as long as I can avenge my father and all my brothers and sisters,
Allow me to restore the Kingdom of Lodis! I, Ambrose Sidney, am willing to pay any price, including my own life and soul!"
"Very good!" Jia Zhengjin said with confidence, "Although I can't give you strong military support, I can give you something that can reverse everything! With it, you will definitely be able to take revenge and regain the Kingdom of Lodis!
But on the other hand, you may become the enemy of the entire continent, or even the main enemy of a very influential church! Do you want to decide whether to accept my funding? I will give you seven days to seriously consider..."
"Lord Keen," Ambrose looked at him seriously, "No need to think about it! If Lord Keen can really let me take revenge and regain the kingdom, I will do anything! I can also swear to the goddess of thorns that in this life
