Hill went to the banquet with confidence, and another reason was that the banquet was the restaurant he owned.

"Dafei Sheep Shabu Restaurant" is a specialty restaurant that Hill introduced from Musai Port. It is said that this way of eating this Shabu is from the Kingdom of Light.

Hill, no matter who invented the way to eat it, it would be delicious! Since he ate the shabu shabu made by Jacques and others in the Misty Deep Forest, he has been obsessed with the fragrance of shabu shabu. There are also vast grasslands in the north of Saxony, and there is no shortage of high-quality mutton ingredients. After Hill opened the first shabu shabu shabu restaurant in Column, a trend of shabu shabu shabu spread in Column.

Pushing open the door of the private room, Hill recognized the two people in the room at a glance.

"Teacher Lily! Jacques! It's you! Welcome! Claudia told me about you some time ago, but I didn't expect you to come to Colon."

Lily thought he was mocking her relationship with Jacques, and she lost her interest and replied lightly: "Long time no see!"

"Hill, you're finally here. I can't wait to sautify the meat!" Jacques didn't notice Lily's emotions, and said to Hill at the table full of meat slices and boiling copper pot.

Hill glanced at the table, waved his hand and said, "You didn't tell me earlier when you came, don't put meat in it first. I'll let the chef change it to the alien beast mutton."

"Lily, we're here to eat, haha..."

“…”

"This is the store I opened. You guys will choose here on purpose."

"Really? We really don't know that this was yours. I'll ask the hotel owner for inquiries and they recommend it."

After Jacques finished speaking, he pushed a small wooden box on the table forward and slid it in front of Hill.

"Is this?" Hill asked in confusion.

"Our thanks!" Jacques said with a smile, "Thanks to your letter to remind you, otherwise I would have never thought of saving Lily."

Lily's mood suddenly returned to the town of Blanco at that time. At that time, Jacques mistakenly thought that it was killing Lucien was exposed, so she came to ask for her help, but happened to meet Robert assassinating the prime minister at that time. Thinking of Jacques's appearance when she tried hard to save him, her heart warmed up. She peeked at the man beside her and smiled warmly.

Hill picked up the wooden box, uncovered the lid, and found that there was a vermilion red fruit inside the box.

This is the collection from the Skull Island of Mirror Group, the best chicken blood fruit, and the main materials for a variety of high-end secret medicines. They have always been priceless. Many adventurers' legends of getting rich overnight come from accidentally discovering a chicken blood fruit. This time Jacques came out, and many people needed to prepare, so they brought some good things. When they saw Hill, they even gave him a relatively expensive one.

Even though Hill is the son of Saxony's richest man, he has never seen a chicken blood fruit with a fist. He immediately calculated how much it could be worth, one million silver coins? I don't know if others can take it out, at least he would ask him to exchange it for one million, he would be willing.

However, he still covered the lid and pushed the box back in front of Jacques, "It's too expensive! I can't accept it, you... you are so polite, and you didn't treat me as a friend!"

Jacques smiled and pushed the box back again: "If you don't collect it, we will turn around and leave."

Both sides shirked, but Hill finally accepted the thank-you gift.

Roll the pot and the host and the guests enjoy the whole life.

Jacques also took the opportunity to ask Hill to send a message to Claudia, telling her that they had arrived in Columbia. Jacques was sure that once Claudia knew they had arrived in Columbia, she would definitely arrange it for them to attend the engagement ceremony.

Sure enough, someone came to contact them the next day and sent them two invitations for tomorrow's engagement ceremony, as well as wigs and beards for attending the ceremony, etc.

...

"Lord Lupin and his wife!"

"Welcome to Lord Lupin! Welcome to Lord Lady!"

Jacques with a mustache and Lily with a red wig walked into the Duke of Saxony's palace with her hands in hand.

They are now the Lupin lords and couples from the south of the New World.

These two people may not be actual characters, but few Saxons have been to the south of the New World. Even if they have been there, they may not necessarily recognize thousands of "lords". But even if the lord is just the lowest-level noble, they are also nobles and are qualified to participate in the engagement ceremony.

Inferred from the fake identity, Jacques judged that the second prince might have been involved in this matter.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the hall, a young man dressed in a servant came up to him, "Mr. Jacques, Miss Lily, please follow me, the boss wants to see you two."

When he came, Jacques just didn't expect that before the engagement ceremony was held, François could not wait to see him.

I followed the waiter through several porches and came to the third floor of the palace. After walking around, I arrived at the door of a room.

The two strong guards outside the door searched Jacques's body before allowing him to enter the room. Lily was stopped outside the door and had to wait for Jacques in the room next to her.

When he entered the door and walked around the screen, Jacques found that it was not François who was waiting for him, but a middle-aged man who had never met before. Odoka, the director of the Investigation Bureau who had met him, was standing respectfully behind the middle-aged man.

Seeing Odoka's respectful expression, Jacques had some guesses about the person's identity, but he did not dare to ask, so he had to stand there with his hands.

"You are Jacques?" said the middle-aged man.

"Hello, I am Jacques Renault, from Port Musée." Jacques bowed.

"Jacques! When you see His Majesty the Emperor, you still don't kneel down and salute!" Odoka said with a straight face.

If you don’t say it, how do I know he is the emperor?

You say I believe it? OK, I believe it!

Jacques quickly knelt down on one knee, held his chest with his left hand, took off his hat with his right hand, lowered his head and said, "Jacques Renault, I have seen Your Majesty!"

"I heard you are only twenty years old, one year younger than Claudia, and don't look like you."

Jacques looked up and teared off his beard, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, does it look like this?"

The emperor smiled and said, "Interesting! I have heard your name several times. I heard that you are coming to join the engagement, so I asked you to come and meet you."

Jacques felt that the emperor was very kind, so he said tentatively: "I have caused trouble for Your Majesty. I used to say good things when I heard my name, but I guess I have lost a good reputation recently."

"Haha! Interesting! You are a little self-aware." The emperor played with the short staff in his hand and said, "Tell me, are you still my subject?"

There is a pitfall in this sentence!

Jacques was still kneeling on one knee. The emperor did not let him get up. According to the etiquette, he had to kneel down and answer: "Actually, I don't know. Originally, I was just passing by Colon. This time my destination was to go to the imperial capital. If that time came, I would apply to see you as an envoy of the Kingdom of Light.

But today I am here to attend a friend's engagement ceremony, and I am doing a private matter. Given that my hometown, Musai Port, is your Majesty's territory, I should be considered your Majesty's subject."

The so-called special envoy was the diplomatic mission given to him by Jacques when he left Tavare. Anyway, Jacques would definitely meet Robert during this trip. Based on the principle that the enemy is a friend, Heike needs Jacques to express the goodwill of the Kingdom of God to Robert and try to promote cooperation between the two sides. The Kingdom of God of Light will take some time to digest the colony. The purpose that can be achieved through diplomacy during this period should not be denounced from war.

However, after killing Ovilia, he might not be able to continue to cooperate with Robert, so Fat Ju decided to turn to the imperial capital and try to contact the royal family. The Kingdom of Light seized Stuart's colony, which made the royal family both happy and worried. He was naturally very happy to weaken Stuart's national strength and curbing Duke Amon's ambitions. He was naturally worried that the Kingdom of Light would continue to expand in the New World and invade the royal family's colony to the north.

This is not impossible. Not long ago, the emperor just received a report and found the whereabouts of the small army of the Light God Kingdom near Medis.

Therefore, at this time both parties urgently need to contact each other and speculate on the other party’s true intentions.

Otherwise, even if Jacques had saved the lives of the second prince and the future prince's concubine, the emperor would not have summoned him specifically.

You should know that the emperor came to Colon this time, and the entire itinerary was completely confidential, and only a few people knew about it.

The emperor came to Columbia on the grounds of engagement by the second prince, but in fact he lowered his posture and requested the alliance with the Principality of Saxony. As for the purpose and conditions of the alliance, it is unknown to outsiders.

"Enterprise? So, do you really have an official position in the Kingdom of Light?" The emperor's tone made people feel quite majestic.

Jacques nodded and replied, "To be honest, I have indeed made a position. It belongs to the school department of the Kingdom of Light. It is affiliated with the Honglu Temple. It is a bachelor's position. It is a diplomatic job and can also be regarded as a honor for my hometown."

Jacques had no psychological barriers to achieving their goals with a lowered attitude. To put it bluntly, he was thick-skinned. Hei Ye had already seen that he was a suitable diplomatic person when he was in contact with him in Wujin City. At that time, Hei Ye didn't know the relationship between Jacques and the God of Light Fat Orange.

The emperor seemed to be satisfied with Jacques' answer. You see, the diplomatic officials of the Kingdom of Light are all dropouts from the academy in our empire. Isn't it better to be better if anyone is stronger or weak?

If you want to comfort yourself, the Prime Minister of the Silver Dragon Kingdom is also a wanted criminal of the empire!

To put it from another perspective, this is a rebellion, or to put it nicely, it is a talent outflow.

So, from another perspective, the same thing sounds very pleasant.

Fortunately, the emperor was quite satisfied with Jacques' answer and raised his hand to signal that he could get up.

"Are you a special envoy here to pass the message or negotiate?"

The emperor's question was actually anchored the specifications of this conversation. In his opinion, only the God of Light was qualified to have an equal dialogue with him. You should know that Wang Qing'an and others went to the imperial capital to discuss the second year's food trade, and they could only meet officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Imperial Affairs.

The emperor and the envoy could only meet politely. If they really wanted to negotiate, they would still have to fight each other. If it was a message, he could still listen. He did not need to express his opinion anyway, but if it was a negotiation, it would be necessary to exchange for people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Affairs to negotiate with Jacques.

Jacques replied, "My Majesty, I am representing the will of the God of Light to express to you the good intention of peace and goodness of both sides."

This is really not a brag. The God of Light Fatty Orange is wandering around in the Duke of Saxony's palace.

As for peace and kindness, it doesn’t matter if you talk about it anyway. At this time, the Kingdom of Light does not want to fight again.

"So that's it. Is the God of Light going to return the occupied New World colony?"

Jacques really didn't expect the emperor to speak so without any room for anything, so it was really hard to answer.

Before Jacques set off, Hei Ye repeatedly reminded him that there is no trivial matter in diplomacy, so that Jacques should pay special attention.

The problem with Robert may be considered an emergency or an accident, but if you can't handle this well and there will be another problem, it will be considered as Jacques' mistake.

So Jacques combined his analysis of the emperor's personality and the relationship between countries, Pang Ju discussed briefly, and then replied: "The war some time ago was because of the huge food crisis in the Kingdom of Light. When the food was unable to be self-sufficient, he had to search for land everywhere in order to survive and survive.

However, the central region of the New World has been controlled by the Kingdom of God. If properly managed, it can ensure that the food is free. Therefore, it is forgot to return it. The land is impossible to return now, and this is still the lifeline of the Kingdom of Light.

And even if it is returned, it should be returned to the Principality of Stuart, after all, the central region is their colony."

Jacques said this clearly. I will definitely not vomit if I eat it, and I will not give it to you if I spit it out.

"But..." Jacques changed his tone and continued: "If your Majesty wants, we will compensate Your Majesty for his losses in other ways."

Other ways? Can you afford to pay? A poor country that cannot even take out a source stone can satisfy people by changing the method.

Now the emperor has no subordinates who can come forward to negotiate, so he gritted his teeth and went on stage to bargain.

"What is it? It depends on whether I can be satisfied."

Jacques smiled slightly and waited for you to say this, so he bent down and saluted again and replied: "In fact, our request is very simple. First, sign a peaceful propaganda and establish a channel for maintaining stable communication with each other. Second, start equal bilateral trade with the empire and communicate with each other."

The emperor shook his head and said, "Haha, it's simple to say. If I agree, I will be the only emperor among the emperors of all generations who admit to the lost territory. What do you think?"

Jacques also discovered that this kind of problem was directly communicated with the emperor and could not reach a result. Fortunately, he had already told the emperor about Fatty Ju's attitude, which was actually Hei Ye's attitude, and it was not considered a waste of time.

We will not expand for the time being and want to restore peace.

"I will tell the God of Light about your Majesty's attitude, but we will continue to maintain a positive attitude of negotiation and strive to peacefully resolve the dispute between us."

Jacques spoke highly.

Can't tell the result? It doesn't matter, as long as the attitude is changed, it can reduce misjudgment between both parties.

Odoka still had a wink and stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the ceremony is about to be held. Do you still want to watch it?"

"Okay, let's go. By the way, young man, we haven't seen each other today. We look forward to you going to the imperial capital to communicate with my Foreign Affairs Department."

After saying that, the emperor left the room under the protection of four guards who had come out of nowhere.

Jacques wiped off the sweat that did not exist on his forehead, rubbed his left knee, and it didn't hurt to kneel down, but it was just not used to it!
Chapter completed!
