Chapter 88 Mission
When the dragon knights returned to the Bibo Islands at full speed, the mission had also started to return. Different from when they came, the morale of the escort knights of the mission was low, and many of them were confused. All this was because their leader Ryan died,
He died without dignity. Luke, the leader of the mission, tried to use his head to calm the anger of the Northlanders and poisoned his water bag. However, this action, instead of calming the anger, completely
This angered the Northlanders.
The Northlanders returned Ryan's head intact. A soldier should not have such an ending, and should not die under the conspiracy and betrayal of his own people.
The Northlanders did not deal with the envoy further, but everyone knew that they were in danger. The Northlanders just did not want to dirty their hands. When they returned, the royal capital would naturally send their heads back.
Luke was a little distracted. He knew that this time things were really irreversible. It's not my fault. I just wanted to save everyone with the minimum sacrifice. Luke tried to convince himself and tried to find some psychological reasons.
comfort.
Ryan once told him, "Don't be too afraid, just admit your behavior and wait for the Northlanders to propose conditions."
But how could he not be afraid? Who wouldn't be afraid? He just hoped now that he would never finish the journey back.
…
The nobles began to keep a distance from the leaders of the mission, and everyone knew that they were finished. No one expected that Luke would make a mistake. His behavior was somewhat inexplicable. He neither acted according to the rules among the nobles nor did he act in accordance with the rules among the nobles.
He did not deal with the problem the way the Northlanders did. Even if he asked Ryan to challenge the Northlanders directly, at least he respected the tradition of the Northlanders - the strong is respected. Everything shows that this man has been overwhelmed by fear.
.
The nobles who participated in the roundup of Bran all confessed their actions and then compensated corresponding property according to the rules of the nobles. The Northlanders also acquiesced to this rule and accepted the compensation.
The roundup of Bran is now well known, with an unexpected result. Everyone is guessing what Bran's ability is? There is no one left alive. He is ruthless and vicious. This is everyone's evaluation of Bran.
.
So, what is the purpose of releasing such a person in the North? People's thoughts began to gravitate towards rights, status, etc., and they veered in the direction they thought.
This year the dragonriders also came, bringing with them a pair of children. Although they did not explicitly express marriage, they were too close to Bran. If these two families were united, what power would the kingdom have to check and balance them?
them?
The answer is no.
All the nobles felt the crisis. They knew that their country, the Green Kingdom, was not a big country. In recent years, they had deliberately suppressed and squeezed out the Dragon Riders, and the Dragon Riders had lost patience with them. Now everyone must consider whether
We need to regroup.
…
Zoya and her parents sat quietly in the car. Her mother took out the jewelry one by one, gesticulating on herself, feeling a little reluctant, and finally put them back into Zoya's jewelry box.
"That boy is really generous, but he is too cruel and is not a good match." Her mother Susan sighed.
Zoya's father Niels said casually: "It doesn't matter whether you can come back alive after participating in the trial. Don't think so far ahead."
Zoya said with certainty: "He will definitely come back, I believe in him."
Nils also sighed: "Even if we come back, we are not sure whether we can win him. There are more people watching him now."
Zoya didn't quite understand: "Why? Many people were unwilling to approach him at the beginning."
Nils sighed again: "It's going to be chaotic."
Susan nodded: "Get ready in advance. Now we are not fighting for a son-in-law, but a shelter."
Zoya was a little confused. She looked back and forth at her parents, and then said, "Bran said that the Northlanders have no other intentions."
"It's not about whether there are people from the North, but we have to think about it. I'm afraid everyone here is thinking about it." His father pointed to the outside of the car. Then he said: "There won't be chaos in the short term, but we have to prepare in advance. We
Although the Riley family also has its own armed forces, it became a joke when it faced the Dragon Riders and Beidi. Therefore, we must pay attention to their movements now."
Susan continued: "The Northland is better. They should not make any big moves, but the dragonriders have already taken action. Now they have invaded the east coast and have a tendency to gradually expand. If they hadn't been unsure about the Northland
I’m afraid people’s attitudes are not just as simple as those on the East Coast.”
Nils didn't want to make the atmosphere too depressing, so he changed the topic: "At first, Bran didn't show much strength in front of you, right? I heard from your brother that he was suppressed and chopped by that little girl Irene."
Zoya has always been full of confidence in her best friend: "That was what Bran allowed her to do. Bran said that civilized people should not fight and kill."
Her parents looked at each other. At least their daughter had a good impression of Bran. It seemed that Bran was also good to his daughter. Regardless of whether they could get married or not, this relationship must be maintained.
Nils teased his daughter: "If our daughter is still satisfied with Bran, then we will prepare a dowry."
These words made Zoya blush, and she raised her hand and gave her father a gentle blow.
…
As they moved further away from the North, the ornaments that Bran gave to the children began to be confiscated by their parents. This made the children a little angry, and from time to time there were cries of resistance.
At first, a few thick-skinned people put rings and the like directly on their hands. Then this behavior began to spread, and they became more and more comfortable wearing these accessories.
As we moved forward, this behavior began to turn into a kind of showing off. Although the ornaments given by Bran were not small, after all, they were only given to some children, and when they were evenly distributed among the adults, it seemed a bit inadequate. So the gap
Contrasts began to arise, and the desire to compare began to rise under this stimulation. Now that I don't wear one or two such accessories, I seem to be lacking in confidence.
It is indeed a lack of confidence. After all, the ornaments sent by Bran are definitely not comparable to their shoddy products. Some people have begun to buy these ornaments at high prices, and because of the comparison mentality, people are not willing to sell them in the short term, so the prices have begun to rise.
But it is basically in a state of price and no market. Being able to bring your children to the North for marriage has more or less corresponding background. It may be difficult to impress these people with the price.
