After watching Kos leave, Budesa looked grim. He now strongly suspected that Archduke Bulu was setting him up. He knew clearly the consequences of rashly selling sea ships, but did not tell him about the matter to the Sea Dragon Kingdom.
It seems that Budesa was also at fault. At the beginning, in order to gain a certain initiative at the negotiation table, Budesa first threw out the fact that their Sea Dragon Kingdom had a powerful master in control.
Archduke Bru probably also saw this, hoping that the Sea Dragon Kingdom could counteract the threat of the Austro-Hungarian Kingdom and obtain sufficient benefits from it.
If Archduke Bulu could immediately explain the existence of the Austro-Hungarian Kingdom and the possible conflicts after he mentioned the sale of sea ships, they would not have to face such a passive situation now. After all, the Scarlet Continent is far away from the mainland of the Sea Dragon Kingdom.
, once there is a conflict with the Kingdom of Austria-Hungary, there will definitely be no settlement.
Unfortunately, it is too late to say anything now. The news that Hailong Country will sell sea-going ships has already spread widely. Unless Hailong Country immediately denies the matter, it is possible to save the situation.
But if Budesa really did this, the consequences he would have to bear would be very serious. The reputation of Hailong Kingdom among the major human nations would probably be reduced to the extreme, and he might also offend the Principality of Bru.
Because regardless of whether Archduke Bulu intentionally dug a hole to bring the Sea Dragon Kingdom to the opposite side of the Austro-Hungarian Kingdom, since Budesa personally promised it, he must bear the consequences of breaking the promise.
Moreover, Budesa also knew that even if he denied selling sea ships, as long as their Sea Dragon Kingdom wanted to conduct commercial trade in this sea area, they would inevitably be hostile to the Kingdom of Austria-Hungary.
In terms of high-level strength, the Sea Dragon Kingdom and the Kingdom of Austria-Hungary are in the same class. In terms of commercial trade, the Kingdom of Austria-Hungary is in a dominant position over the surrounding countries, and the six principalities in the west are all dumping grounds for their products.
Once the Sea Dragon Kingdom joins in, it will inevitably need to divide the trade cake of the Austro-Hungarian Kingdom. There is only so much cake, and the more people divide it, the less they will get. Naturally, the Austro-Hungarian Kingdom is not willing to divide the cake in its hands in vain.
Give some of it to Hailong Kingdom, even if the "knife" it uses to "cut the cake" has been temporarily damaged!
At the same time, the current situation of Hailong Kingdom does not allow them to withdraw from trade with the major principalities.
At this time, Hailong Kingdom is facing a crazy tide of evil beasts and needs a large amount of war supplies, weapons, food, training resources, etc.
The Sea Dragon Kingdom, which is increasingly lacking in resources, has become unsustainable and can only try to absorb resources from the outside. The Scarlet Continent is the best choice. Therefore, if the Sea Dragon Kingdom does not want to destroy the country and its people, it is estimated that it will have to sell sea-going ships.
Bite the bullet and carry it out.

boom--!
As the thick stone slabs slowly opened, a staircase made of bluestones was revealed. The steps extended downward, and the walls on both sides were inlaid with luminous crystals.
This is the entrance to the underground training room of the Red Dragon Palace!
At this time, Ai's face was tense, followed by Barton, and the two of them walked quickly down the stone steps.
The stairs extended downward in a zigzag shape. Allen and Barton walked for about ten minutes before arriving at a huge underground space, which contained training rooms separated by buildings.
As soon as he reached the bottom, Allen ran into a wave of dark elements. Looking forward, he noticed the rich dark elements inside that were about to turn into liquid.
Allen frowned and used an elemental barrier to wrap his entire body, as did Barton behind him. The two of them moved forward against the increasingly dense dark elements.
Dark elements are notoriously corrosive. Once a living body is touched by a relatively strong dark element, its vitality will be corroded and turned into a withered corpse.
At the same time, dark elements are good at destroying elemental weapons. Once the elemental weapons are contaminated, their materials will rot, making them difficult to use.
Of course, with Allen's current strength, he is not afraid to touch it. He is just worried about the clothes he is wearing. Once the clothes on his body are eroded by a large amount of dark elements, the wind may blow and the clothes will collapse.
The reason why the underground training room is like this, filled with dark elements, is because the little white snake Biluo broke through to the extraordinary level today.
When the breakthrough vision was reflected in the sky, Allen was handling affairs in the main hall. He was naturally overjoyed when he noticed the vision.
Everything went smoothly from the beginning to the end of the vision, but just when Allen thought that Biluo had successfully broken through to the extraordinary level, Biluo's faint cry came in his mind, and there was no hint of the breakthrough after the breakthrough.
The joy, on the contrary, reveals the pain.
This made Allen a little worried. Extraordinary breakthroughs were no different than others. Once an accident occurred, it would cause a heavy price. Allen was also worried about whether Biluo would have an accident, so he hurried to the underground training room.
Underground, although dark elements permeated the air, it did not affect his vision. Within a few steps, Allen came to a training room, the birthplace of all dark elements underground.
This training room is exactly where Bi Luo is. It can be clearly seen that the training room at this time is still emitting dark elements to the outside world.
Allen asked Barton to stay outside and walked in alone, and soon found Biluo lying on the stone platform.
Biluo's eyes were closed tightly on the stone platform, and her body was no longer twisted. Instead, she was lying there uncharacteristically straight. The originally shiny scales had become dim. If it weren't for the vitality that still emanated from her small body,
Allen thought Biluo was already cold!
But Biluo's state at this time didn't look like nothing had happened! Allen frowned and was helpless. After all, he couldn't figure out Biluo's state at this time. The screams of pain in his mind didn't stop, and he didn't dare to
He rashly stepped forward to touch Bi Luo!
Well! Suddenly, Allen's eyes flashed, and he was pleasantly surprised.
It's moving! He just clearly saw a part of Bi Luo's body suddenly squirming. There was no way it was fake!
Sure enough, after a few minutes, Biluo's body movements became larger and larger, and the squirming parts became more and more obvious, just like a white snake waking up from hibernation.
Click!
A crisp cross talk sounded in the active training room. Allen, whose face was much softer, tightened his face again, paused in his heart, and stared closely at the sound that had just come from Bi Luo's body.
After a crisp sound, Bi Luo, who had been shaking her body continuously, suddenly stopped, and a crack suddenly appeared in her entire back.
Click, click, click!
As time went by, Bi Luo's entire back was completely split.
Shedding its skin? There was doubt in Allen's eyes, but also a hint of worry. This was not like the way snakes shed their skin.
Just when Allen was wondering, a black line suddenly slowly swam out from the crack in his back, like a small snake. After swimming out of the crack, the black snake swam towards Allen quickly.
