Chapter 152 – Mirriam
“Your Highness the Duke, I also didn’t expect that a small border raid would have alarmed you to personally lead your troops here, your endowment is really admirable to me as a Silver Dragon.”
Seeing that it was a familiar elf, or the Duke of the Wheel of Silver who had once funded his own study of alchemy, Davy, while being surprised, did not spare a pat on the back.
After all, the reputation of the nobles in this era was somehow accomplished through word of mouth and even self-serving bards between patting each other on the back like this.
David believed that it wouldn’t be long before the deeds of Evgeny, him as a Silver Dragon, and even the Silver Archduke about this ‘Operation Ice Sea’ rush to help would quickly spread throughout the Elven Kingdom and even the New Continent.
The Silver Archduke had long heard of David’s actually exaggerated battle achievements on the highway, and after giving David a deep look, he resumed the spring-like appearance he had when he first met him:
“Like your father, just call me Mirriam.
“Ceolus is my Scalia family’s territory, I can’t afford to continue to open up the territory like my ancestor did, but guarding the territory and the safety of my people is still the most basic responsibility that I must shoulder as a nobleman.
“And I need to correct one point is, this is not a small border attack, according to the information I received, this gang of barbarians from the old continent can be quite a lot, but also has an adult white dragon from the side of the assistance, if you can’t get the first time to control, along the way, dozens of miles of destruction, casualties of more than a thousand may even be possible.
“And this time, if not for your appearance and help, I’m afraid that even I will have to have a headache for a long time for this bandit scourge.
“Speaking of which, I haven’t even thought of how to thank you yet, Saphis Duin.
“The same goes for you, Secretary Evgeny, my Knight Commander of the Guard, it’s good to see you still alive.”
If Ahmed, who was far away from the Old Continent, saw this tolerant attitude towards people, he would most likely turn straight into a lemonade.
David’s heart is thinking of compiling a set of how to justify his words, over there by the Silver Wheel Archduke named Yevgeny is already red-eyed, kneeling on one knee, head down, voice choked and said:
“Your Highness! I am guilty! Since the series of bad consequences caused by my momentary greed three years ago, I really don’t know how to… How to face you.
“Please punish me, Your Highness.”
Hearing these heartfelt words, David on the side wanted to laugh for some reason.
You don’t say, you really don’t say, just like what Evgeny said, if you really want to attribute it, Evgeny’s dragon hunting plan out of greed seems to be the trigger for all the recent calamities in the Elven Kingdom.
Originally, this person only went to the old continent to do some business with the barbarians, mainly because he wanted to import some crimson ashes back to the alchemy workshop to produce the [Rage Compound].
On the way, he ran into Tania, who had received Pavla’s ‘Territory Guard Trial’ quest, and wanted to make up his own plan to rescue the silver dragon cub, Triumph Devonshire, and capture dragons in a single step to heaven.
The result of fate at least encountered out to eat buffet David, not only plan failure under the hands of the elves were also killed or injured half, in order to prevent Tania nesting led to the red plague of revenge, which led to the letter sent to the Silver Archduke’s stationery.
Although David does not know what is written in that letter, anyway, the Silver Archduke Millie 蕥 do not know for what considerations out of the army.
Forcing him to face his mother head on with Tania’s encouragement to gain asylum.
Then there was the great eruption of the Katgana volcano that plagued the entire Aeolian realm.
It’s been three years, and the sky is still more cloudy than clear.
Under the ‘introduction’ of her bandwagon party’s confession, she even brought David, the red dragon that was the source of the scourge, to the entire New Continent.
Nearly and have the follow-up everything happened.
The destruction of the Seventh Fleet, the great explosion of the Spider’s Nest City.
In turn, it tore apart the peaceful exterior of the Elven Kingdom.
One can only say that the evolution of fate is sometimes so dramatic and comical.
And if one really blamed all of this on this High Elf, Yevgeny.
Then she could probably be put on the pillar of shame by the future historians for the High Elves to revile for ten thousand years.
Even David, who was the initiator, could not get a glimpse of the whole picture of the series of events, and could only barely connect it all through the information he had collected, not to mention the Silver Archduke at this moment.
In the complex and envious eyes of the elves, the Silver Archduke was the one who pulled Evgeny up, gently patting Evgeny’s head like the head of a family, and said in relief:
“You were sent out by me, and the order to send out troops was also given by me, so what qualifications do I have to blame everything on you, an elf.
“What’s more, you and your commanders deserve all the credit for being able to successfully hold back this gang of barbarian pirates this time.”
Speaking here, the Silver Archduke looked around at one of the hundred or so Elven navies behind Evgeni who had endured three years of hardship and vicissitudes, and said with a smile:
“Regardless, welcome back, welcome back to your homeland of Ceolus. My children, it was my incompetence that made you suffer during these three years.”
“Wow! Duke-sama! I’m sorry!!!” Yevgeny, whose soul had long been tainted and controlled unable to tell the whole truth, paralyzed again and cried with a desperate cry.
“Woo!” The hundred or so Elf Navy behind her also cried into a ball at this moment.
All of the unwillingness, all of the resentment and suppressed emotions from the past three years all poured out.
Wasn’t it for this moment that they had held on to all of this?
They only believed that even if they were criticized by thousands of people, only the Silver Grand Duke could understand them and accept them.
And this moment, they finally waited for the reward for their perseverance.
“…” On the side, David smashed his mouth, listen, regardless of whether this Silver Archduke is sincere or not, these words, level ah.
Oh no, under the operation of the Silver Archduke, his previous plan is not half of it. But it doesn’t matter, everything can’t be as good as the dragon’s will, right?
Anyway, he originally did not expect this group of high elves can be obsessed to follow him this red dragon to do elves.
Only. Since the Silver Archduke so accept this bunch of seventh fleet remnants, that is not openly slapping the elf king Aeliandor as well as Devonshire a group of senior councillors in the face of it.
Then it seems. I’m sure we’ll have a good time.
Only David did not expect is that the Silver Wheel Archduke than he imagined, but also thunder and wind.
Just after the Silver Archduke pacified Evgeni and their group of elves, and then sympathized with the priests and priests of the Elven Temple, she came back to David who was preparing to say goodbye, and smiled brightly at David and invited him to come with her:
“Are you interested in going to Dwensel with me?”
“Hmm? Hmm! You’re going to Dwensel? When?” David was startled.
“Right now, we’re leaving overnight, and we should arrive in Dwensel early tomorrow morning to join in the triumphal ceremony.”
At such a sensitive time, the Silver Archduke actually dared to go to Dwensel in person?
If this is placed in the history of the Blue Star then it is not a proper self-inflicted trap, the rhythm of being handed over and cut off in a minute, ah?
But on second thought, this is not the Blue Star after all, and this Silver Archduke, but a real legend ah.
Crap, this is even more wrong, this Silver Wheel Duke in the end want to do what?
Or to lead troops to Dwensel.
Wouldn’t he want to do an Aeolian version of the Chenqiao Mutiny?
Seeing that David didn’t make a sound and his gaze towards her was a bit strange, Mirriam immediately joked:
“What? Afraid I’ll rebel?”
“Cough cough.”
David almost didn’t choke to death on a mouthful of water, thinking that this kind of thing can be said so directly:
“I don’t mean that, it’s just that, this kind of thing, shouldn’t you directly discuss it with my father?”
“Of course I know, but what is there to discuss with your father? Even if I do rebel, Atilicia, who has long been disgruntled with King Ariando, would most likely join me as my counselor.” Silver Grand Duchess Mirriam’s reply likewise left Davy outright shocked and then speechless.
As soon as he recalled the words that Pops had uttered to himself back then .
He said, “Crap, Pops, you can’t do this, actually by this Silver Archduke pinpointed so dead, in the future also how to
Thinking of this, David suddenly felt that his own old man or honestly with the Silver Wheel Archduke as a bosom friend let it go.
If you really want to marry over one day, with the old dad’s ‘stupid white sweet’ nature is still not let this elf ravage ah?
Moreover, the old man has a mother, not, Devonshire side also has a childhood friend who is eyeing him.
Maybe the other Silver Grand Duke will only take his own father as a dragon comfort device.
As if she could also see what David was thinking, Silver Grand Duke Miriam suddenly laughed out loud and patted David’s robust chest and said:
“Don’t worry, I’m not that impulsive, otherwise I wouldn’t have entrusted that Elizabeth child to go to school in Devonshire.
“I’m only going over there this time to have a … with His Majesty Ariando.
“to have a good talk.
“The situation of the Elven Kingdom today is as perilous as an egg, we can’t let him toss and turn like this.”
Speaking here, Mirriam glanced at David, who still looked like ‘I’m still just a dragon child’, and laughed without any good humor:
“It’s also true that you do run the risk of getting involved in Dwensel’s political strife if you just follow me over there.
“But how can I say this, the entire Elf Kingdom is an Elf who knows that your father and I are close friends, it’s useless for you to avoid suspicion.
“Of course, the initiative is in your hands, if you really do not want to get involved in this matter, I can also prepare to pass to the Dwensel’s residence newspaper, hidden your existence.
“Just . This time, our Majesty Ariando will more than likely be forced to be generous for once.
“If you don’t go, you won’t get your share of the bounty.”
David looked back at Mirriam’s teasing eyes, and took a deep breath with the same lack of humor:
“This kind of good thing of course I have to go, just Miss Mirriam please don’t fish, continue like this, I have to think that you are afraid of which golden dragon has changed.”
Silver Grand Duke Mirriam laughed even more recklessly, attracting a sideways glance from the surrounding elves, and then seemed to think of something, her eyes became a little darker:
“If only that were true.
“Sometimes, I really envy you dragons.
“You can do whatever you want to do, and if you don’t want to do it, you can walk away in style.”
David where still do not know that Millie 蕥 is stranded here pointing out the curse, vocalizing his old man last year without saying a word to go dragon thing it.
So he simply did not squeak.
Nima, also do not know his own old man in the dragon of the charm of the charm of the devil.
I have not inherited.
Or how much?
I really want to mix to the youth early ah.
Morning.
