Oh!? It turns out there is a reward, so you should remind me of this kind of news more often in the future. Oops, you do the same. If there is a reward, why didn’t you tell me and share it earlier?
When he heard that there was a reward, Russell couldn't help but be overjoyed.
[System prompt: I have wanted to tell you for a long time. Who knew that you, a useless melon, have not had a good partner with a friendship level of 100 until now. I also suffer from the lack of a good time to explain. 】
You...well, okay, that's fine. This time, the system's retort left no room for Russell to talk back.
While chatting and laughing, the two of them were still on their way, and at this time they had arrived at the main entrance of the Lord's Hall of Turga, the central capital of the Kugit Khanate.
I have to say that the style of the hall here is very different from Uxhall, and it has a unique flavor.
Here are round towers, narrow windows, semicircular arches, and low domes decorated with door frames protruding layer by layer.
Extensive use of columns and vaults of various shapes achieves an aesthetic effect that is solid, heavy, balanced, stable, and full of strength.
The narrow windows form a strong contrast with the vast space inside, making the interior of the castle dim and deep, giving people a sense of mystery and darkness.
This is the richest and oldest town on the grassland. Just when the baron was still sighing at the scenery of Turga, the central capital of the Kugit Khanate, Emperor Ronnier's words brought his soul back.
.
"Baron, put away your nymphomaniac expression, let's get down to business. We still don't know what happened here and why the flag was changed, so we will go in later and I will speak. Don't say anything yet."
"As I wish, I will just say nothing." Russell nodded honestly and respectfully.
When the guard in the Lord's Hall saw that it was Emperor Luo Nier who was bringing people, he opened the door obediently and said hello:
"Good afternoon, distinguished Ms. Luo Nier, the queen of gambling, welcome back."
Queen Ronnier didn't reply, just nodded slightly, and then walked inside with the baron.
Soon, the figures of Valkyrie Tianyan and several ministers appeared in front of the two of them.
Russell cautiously snooped around and didn't feel that any of the men in the hall had the aura of a king or were dressed in elegant and luxurious clothes.
At this moment, he felt a little bit in his heart. Could it be that the speculation about drawing the emperor Luo Nier came true? Did the Valkyrie Tianyan really get the throne of the king?
At this time, Queen Luo Nier took the lead and said:
"Sister... cough, cough, uh... Lord Valkyrie, I'm back, and I've brought a lord from the Kingdom of Swadia with me. I think you also know this baron."
She instinctively called her sister out of habit, but she realized that now was a more solemn and solemn moment. After all, several ministers in the kingdom were present, so it was better to be strict with her address.
Different from her previous aloof image, the Valkyrie Tianyan at this moment had a smile on her face and replied:
"Well, it's not just that we know each other. A while ago, I was thinking about him day and night, wishing that he would appear in front of me, and then I could torture him."
"In this case, I am afraid I will disappoint you. Lord Valkyrie, he came here this time to surrender to us. I don't think you will abuse your future subordinates, right?"
These words of Tongtai shocked all the ministers present. At the same time, the Valkyrie Tianyan was also very interested and continued:
"Oh? This is new news, Russell, why do you want to surrender? When we last met at Uxhall, weren't you very bold?"
"Because he..."
"Okay, Prince Ronnel, I want to hear what he has to say."
Just as Chuangdang was about to defend the Baron, he was interrupted by the Valkyrie Tianyan.
As a result, Russell could only speak on his own:
"I am an honest person. Coming all the way here to surrender is enough to prove my sincerity. I can also tell you the truth, Lord Valkyrie, but I will only tell you one person."
What the baron meant was that there were too many people here, too many ministers and cronies, and such important news could not be shared casually.
Valkyrie Tianyan understood the idea, made a gesture to several ministers, and then said:
"Everyone, please step aside now. As for the decree I just issued, I want to hear your answer at the meeting tomorrow morning."
"Yes, Your Majesty the Goddess." Several ministers had solemn expressions, and it seemed that the task was arduous. After replying in unison, they hurriedly left. Now, in the huge hall of lords, only Touta, Valkyrie, and the three Barons were left.
people.
After there were fewer people around, Russell also relaxed, talked to himself, found a chair to sit down, drank the coffee next to the chair, and said slowly:
"Your Majesty the Goddess, this title is quite noble. But I am still used to calling you Valkyrie. Well, to tell you the truth. I came to surrender because I was forced to do so. I was forced by the king of Swadia."
"As far as I know, the king of Swadia, Harlaus X, doesn't seem to like men. He is not as good as Long Yang. What is he forcing you to do?"
"Valkyrie, I haven't seen you for a few days, your thoughts have become dirty! Why are you thinking in that direction... He forced me to hand over the dragon, otherwise he would kill my whole family."
"So hateful? He seems to be a bad old man. But... Russell, I also like your dragon very much. How do you know that after you surrender to me, I won't force you to hand it over?"
Hearing what Valkyrie Tianyan said, the Baron's face darkened and he immediately replied:
"I'm sorry, I won't hand it over to you either. I would rather degrade myself, throw away my title of earl and become a villager, than let go of Long and my family. It seems that I came to the wrong place. I didn't expect that my sincerity would change."
Here comes the result, goodbye."
After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the door.
"Dressell, are you taking yourself too seriously? This is a place where you can come and leave whenever you want? Come on!"
As Valkyrie Tianyan spoke, she wanted to call the guards to surround the baron.
At the critical moment, Queen Luo Nier stepped forward and said:
"Sister, don't be so reckless and impulsive. Just imagine, if it were you, you wouldn't be willing to hand it over. If Drasel goes to another kingdom, it will be a loss for us."
Valkyrie Tianyan snorted coldly: "Even if he defected to another kingdom, wouldn't he be forced to hand over the dragon!? I don't believe that he can live peacefully with others."
"Sister, you are right. Everyone on this continent will covet his dragon, which is the most terrifying combat power. But with Draseel's strength, he can definitely reach some kind of contract with others."
"What kind of contract?" Valkyrie Tianyan was a little confused.
