Chapter 259 Diplomatic Visit, Welcoming Ceremony, Return
After simply arranging the affairs within the clan, Vasqi took a few maids and set off on the road to Amethyst Island.
With the help of Zola, the sea crystal dragon, the group of them could reach it by swimming quickly on the seabed for about ten hours.
Compared with Krober's return from St. Gold Castle riding a dragon, it was a little slower.
However, Krober was not eager to return to Amethyst Island this time. He and Ansel had a very good chat.
So they were flying while chatting along the way, and Ansel even performed some special flying moves when he was so excited.
This significantly increases the time they spend on the road.
————
Early the next morning, Vashj rode a sea crystal dragon and rose from the bottom of the sea, appearing in the warning waters around Amethyst Island.
The appearance of the sea dragon species caused the surrounding patrol fleets to fall into a commotion.
"Don't panic! Why panic? Everyone stand in line with the warning formation!"
On a medium-sized warship, squadron leader Hans was doing his best to calm the panicked soldiers.
As a flesh and blood living being, he is born with a certain degree of fear and awe of creatures like "dragons".
The same is naturally true for Old Hans.
But as one of the witnesses of the Greenleaf Island incident, he naturally knew that his lord Lord Krober also had the help of the dragon.
Although he didn't know anything about the level of the dragon, it was precisely because of this that he had a certain amount of confidence.
"After all, they are all giant dragons. Even if you can't defeat them, it will take a long time..."
It was such a simple thought that gave him a certain sense of security.
"No movement allowed! Everyone return to their respective posts! Anyone who disobeys will be punished for violating military orders!"
Since the death of Mace, Old Hans' strength has also improved by leaps and bounds. By virtue of his military exploits in exploring new islands with Clobber, he successfully redeemed a wood-attribute potion. With great luck, he awakened his fighting spirit and became an official knight.
Therefore, he was promoted from a squad leader to a squadron leader in charge of a medium-sized warship alone.
There were a hundred soldiers on hand to obey his orders.
As an official knight, his prestige is relatively high in the entire team.
As soon as he spoke, most of the soldiers returned to normal. Although they still looked trembling, they were at least able to deal with the enemy in a normal state.
"Your Excellency, I am Hans, the squadron leader of the Second Patrol Fleet of the Amethyst Islands. This is the territorial waters of the Golden Duchy. What is your purpose here?"
Old Hans stirred up his fighting spirit and asked the leader on the sea-blue dragon species.
In terms of life level, Old Hans cannot talk to Vashj at all.
Just a glance from a dragon knight level expert would cause a huge amount of magic damage to the old Hans who was still flesh and blood.
This is also a common saying:
The reason why "dragons don't look down on the weak".
"This brave soldier, in front of you is the most noble and powerful high priest of the Naga tribe - His Excellency Vasqi.
We are here this time as the rulers of the Naga tribe. This is our credential. "
Vasqi did not respond to Old Hans' words. As a strong man at the dragon knight level, responding to a formal knight's question would be too low a level for himself.
Even if there is the Golden Duchy or the Emerald Kingdom behind this soldier.
So the person who answered Old Hans' question was the maid behind her.
She threw her credentials onto the boat, which was tied with a green ribbon. This ribbon symbolized peace, which meant that they came not with malicious intent, but to maintain the relationship between the two parties.
When Old Hans heard this, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately it wasn't a war, otherwise none of the people on my ship would be able to withstand a blow from this dragon.
But speaking of it...
Why is this dragon so ugly?
Forget it, no matter how ugly you are, you are still a dragon.
"Sorry, this...ma'am? I have to report to Amethyst Island. Please wait here before Amethyst Island allows you to enter."
After saying that, Old Hans ignored the responses from the Naga people and took out the magic item directly from his hand, turned it to yellow, and fired three "bang bang bang" shots into the air.
Yellow means strangers who are not hostile, and one shot means they are weak and can be dealt with by the soldiers.
Two shots means that the weakest ones are all earth knights, and Master Shirley or Master Clobber needs to take action personally.
Three shots represent a strong person at the dragon knight level.
These three yellow light beams soared into the sky and were quickly captured by the lookouts on the Amethyst Island Lighthouse. The information was recorded on paper and sent to Heier Lanyinghua's office.
"The high priest of the Naga tribe? A strong man at the dragon knight level?"
Heier looked at the information in his hand and almost jumped out of his chair.
What a pity, he is a formal knight, and he usually has to be respectful when he sees an earth knight. Now a dragon knight comes, how should he greet him?
Duke level?
"Go, prepare the welcome ceremony immediately, and welcome him according to the standards of a duke!"
Hewell immediately gave orders. At present, the attitude of the Amethyst Islands towards the Naga tribe is unclear. As the leader of the internal affairs of the Amethyst Islands, he must make no mistakes as much as possible.
And you have to be as perfect as possible without making mistakes.
"Quick, quick, quick! Red carpet! Flowers! Get ready now!"
As Hewell's order continued to be issued, the officials on Amethyst Island fell into chaos.
As new officials in a new territory, they had no experience in welcoming dragon knights, so they could only prepare according to the procedures that Haier had told them.
The red carpet was ready, but the length did not meet the requirements.
There were flowers, but the variety and quantity were not many. A small number of flowers were placed alone on both sides of the road, which looked very shabby.
"....."
"Alas, forget it. The conditions are limited. Let's just leave it like this."
Haier led a group of officials to work for nearly ten minutes before they barely finished arranging the venue.
"Welcoming ceremony! Start now!"
Vashj walked onto the red carpet with several maids, and the sea crystal dragon Zora flew slowly in the low sky.
On both sides of the road were people specially found by Haier. A small number of them held flowers in their hands and made a "warm welcome" look.
"Humans are still like this, caring about the pomp." (Sea people's language)
A Naga maid said behind Vashj.
"Shut up! Have the most basic respect for humans. The Naga tribe is no longer the overlord of the ocean in ancient times. We are far weaker than humans now!" (Sea tribe language)
As they walked on the red carpet, two powerful auras were flying towards the direction of Amethyst Island at an extremely fast speed.
