Chapter 389 The Empire of Broken Snow

Matthias Rossetti, the head of state of the White Tower, the highest-ranking person on the continent of Origino.

Reggie has heard of his name, but has never seen his appearance. Not to mention him, not even Charlemagne has seen him. On the Origino continent, there are only a handful of countries that the White Tower Country can take seriously.

Although the Lion Country is a big country in the traditional sense, it has never gained the respect of the White Tower Country.

Standing on the dock, Reggie was a little nervous. Because the incident happened suddenly, he did not prepare a guard of honor or a decent welcome ceremony. In fact, this was just an excuse. Even if Reggie was given enough time, he could not think of a way to use it.

What kind of ceremony should be used to welcome the head of the White Tower Country? His etiquette knowledge is very lacking, and the head of the White Tower Country never takes the initiative to visit other countries.

The warship of the head of state came to the shore, and Reggie was considering whether to salute the other party. As the heads of state of the two countries, the status of both parties should be equal, but Reggie was just a stateless lord. If counted from the status of viscount,

The status of the two sides is too disparate.

Matthias Rossetti stepped off the warship. This man in his forties did not look that special. He was not tall, about five feet seven inches (one meter seven), and his figure was slightly bloated.

With curly blond hair hanging on an ordinary face, Reggie felt that there was not much difference between him and the bartender in Varese.

He took the initiative to walk up to Reggie and said with a smile: "Nice to meet you, Reginald Victor."

He called Reggie by his first name, without any prefix or suffix.

There seems to be nothing wrong with this. Even if he meets Emperor Honor of the Golden Eagle Kingdom, the head of state of the White Tower Kingdom can still call him by his first name.

But there seemed to be some problems with Reggie's understanding. He regarded the other party as a straightforward person.

"Nice to meet you too, Matthias Rossetti."

He also called the other person by his name, which was a bit rare. The head of state was not a king and could not be called his majesty. But on this continent, no one dared to call him by his name. At the very least, he had to call him the head of state.

Matthias was stunned for a long time, then smiled and said: "I came uninvited, which seems a bit presumptuous."

"Yes, yes, that's a bit presumptuous. If you could say hello in advance, at least I can make more preparations."

Everyone looked at Reggie in surprise. Reggie also wanted to punch himself. It was so rude to speak like this.

Mathias smiled. Fortunately, he was a well-educated person: "Your potion saved the White Tower Country. Those potions are more precious than gold, but you only charged a price that is not worth mentioning. I don't know what to do."

How to express my gratitude to you? I thought about giving you some gold coins, and I also thought about giving you some food, but after much thought, I should express my gratitude to you in person."

"Actually, I want gold coins and food more..." Reggie really didn't want to talk anymore, every word made him feel embarrassed, "If, I mean, you don't mind, actually, you, eat

Is it done?”

"I, um," Matthias was also a little embarrassed, "I haven't eaten yet..."

"That's great," Reggie breathed out. At least he could still think of the most basic hospitality etiquette. "Let's go to my castle for a meal. I asked the cook to make roast chicken."

"Thank you for your hospitality," Matthias smiled, "Then I'm welcome."

When he arrived at Reggie's castle, Matthias was really not polite. After wandering on the boat for a few days, he never had a good meal. The cook's skills were very suitable to his appetite. After having a full meal and wine, he felt embarrassed.

The atmosphere gradually disappeared.

Matthias burped and wiped his greasy mouth with a napkin. The officials around him felt that the head of state was a little rude, but when they heard Reggie burping louder, everyone was relieved. There is no way here.

It's not a place where etiquette is important.

"My friend, I can feel your kindness, but I must ask clearly the reason for this matter," Matthias took a sip of ale and said, "Why did you give me such a precious potion?"

Reggie thought for a moment and said: "I want to buy your grain, the more the better. If I can save your grain, I will save my granary."

"Is it just this reason?" Matthias frowned, and Reggie's answer made him very dissatisfied, "Friend, I appreciate your straightforwardness. If you have something to ask for from the White Tower Kingdom, we are willing to do our best to do it.

Help you."

Reggie nodded: "If this sentence comes from the sincerity, please sell me more grain, even if the price is a little higher, it doesn't matter."

Matias didn't speak for a while, and Reggie's response made him feel a little hypocritical. The Emir sitting aside said: "Mr. Giredno, our head of state has given you a very precious opportunity. I hope you will

You can learn to cherish it.”

Matias frowned and said, "Why did you call him Giredno?"

"Because he once deceived me. He went to Shazhou City and claimed to be..."

"I'm not lying to you," Reggie said, grabbing the topic, "Giredno is my twin brother. He went to sea and went to Spike Island. He looks very similar to me, but there are actually some differences.

"

"Stop making such disgusting jokes!" Emil said, "I know your situation is not very good. Both the Bayer Country and the Benlang Country are eyeing you, and your relationship with your mother country is also very bad. We are willing to give you some help.

You provide some military help, but we cannot easily send troops because these three countries are very special."

"Can you tell me what's so special?" Reggie was a little curious.

"Because these three countries are all at war with evil spirits," Matias said. "Some of the actions of these countries are despicable to us, but we never take the initiative to attack countries that are at war with evil spirits. You have also fought with the Mountain of the Lost

Having fought against evil demons, you should know how terrifying these demons are. The White Tower Kingdom has also been troubled by the fire demon. All countries fighting against evil spirits will be protected by the White Tower Kingdom."

The words sounded ordinary, but they perfectly demonstrated the style of a big country. Matthias made Reggie feel no longer lonely. Like Reggie, he put the threat from the devil in the most important position.

"Thank you for your kindness. What I need is food, including high-quality iron ore. As for other things, I won't bother your country."

Emil bit his lip and said, "Young lord, do you really want to reject the goodwill from the White Tower Country?"

"If your food prices don't increase, it would be the greatest kindness to me."

Emil said: "As far as I know, there is no shortage of food in Broken Snow City."

"I want to reserve more food to deal with the battle with evil spirits." Reggie took a sip of ale. "According to my speculation, the pests you encounter come from evil spirits, so I am willing to help you. If there is any

Tianbai Tower Kingdom can no longer fight against the Fire Demon, and the soldiers of Shattering Snow City are willing to fight side by side with you."

"What an arrogant guy!" Emil shrugged at Matthias. Matthias was silent for a moment and suddenly smiled: "I like your magnanimity, it belongs to an emperor."

Matthias used the word emperor. On the continent of Origino, the meaning of this word is very different from that of king.

According to the tradition on the Origino continent, a new kingdom must be recognized by three kings, and one king must attend the coronation ceremony in person and wear the crown for the new king.

But empire is a completely different concept. There are only two empires on the Origino continent: Tianxing and Golden Eagle. A new empire must be recognized by at least ten kings, and at least three kings must attend the coronation ceremony to jointly serve as the new emperor.

Put on the crown.

This is almost impossible to achieve. A king will not easily recognize a new kingdom, let alone an empire that is above the kingdom. Moreover, the king cannot easily leave his own land and wants the three kings to attend a ceremony together.

The ceremony is purely a ridiculous dream.

Matthias stood up and said: "Although your territory is not large enough, I am willing to recognize your status as an emperor. When you are crowned, I will personally wear the crown for you!"

Reggie couldn't understand what Mathias meant. Although there were precedents from the Sky Star Kingdom and the Golden Eagle Kingdom, it was purely force coercion. They kidnapped the kings of several small surrounding countries and forced them to crown themselves. Could it be that Mattias

Si wants to do the same thing?

"I don't need such help," Reggie couldn't think of a more tactful answer, "I don't want to coerce others into crowning me."

"Coercion?" Matthias smiled, "The White Tower Country will not do such a thing. After we leave, you will soon receive responses from other countries. At that time, I think I should call you Lei

Emperor Ji."
