The doctor suffers from amnesia, but not complete amnesia.

I only heard a few words at the end.

"...Holy crap, no wonder he's a doctor. He's in a wheelchair, yet he's still going all out?"

Qiao Yelan simply sat in her wheelchair, staring at the water glass.

“PRTS.”

[Please give the order, Doctor.]

"Send me a summary of all the instructions Kal'tsit gave me from the time I last fell asleep until I woke up this time, as well as all the changes that have occurred in Babel during this period."

[Received, currently compiling.]

[Transmitted.]

As if luck were on their side, they encountered several Sarkaz towns along the way, almost identical to the first one. This made it easy for the mission to resupply and ensured they could rest.

However, the hotel owner never encountered anyone as beautiful as her again.

"I am the deputy commander of the Empress's Voice, the personal guard of Her Majesty the Emperor of Letania, and I am here to welcome the guests of the Great Yan delegation."

"Greetings, Your Excellency Commander. I am Qiao Yelan, the leader of this delegation and the Vice Minister of Rites of the Great Yan Dynasty."

Clearly, the deputy commander opposite him had received professional training. Although his face twitched slightly when he saw Qiao Yelan, he did not show any extra expression.

After entering Letania, their speed increased significantly, and they soon arrived at Triinttelme.

At this moment, Trinitylme resembled a giant construction site, with buildings bustling with activity everywhere, and in the distance, one could even see the framework of a moving plot of land that had already begun to be laid.

The logo of the Meshko Group is shining brightly on the side.

Qiao Yelan was very satisfied with the current situation. In just a few months since he brought Kazimierz to the city, Ivignad and Herlinmat had already put the entire city on the right track. Clearly, he had not misjudged them.

"His Majesties have prepared a banquet and would be honored to have the honor of attending."

"Of course, Your Majesty, thank you for your trouble. Our Great Yan delegation will definitely arrive on time."

Qiao Yelan said with a smile.

That evening, the banquet hall was filled with distinguished guests.

Both empresses arrived at the banquet in their finest attire. As this was the first official visit by the Great Yan, the security personnel around them were all from the Golden Law Guard.

"Welcome to Trinitylme, guests of the Great Yan."

Herlinmat and Ivignad exuded an even greater air of authority, clearly having become quite accustomed to their positions.

"Thank you for the banquet, Your Majesty. We are truly flattered."

Qiao Yelan bowed to both emperors.

After a polite exchange of pleasantries, Qiao Yelan gave the Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonial a wink, who nodded in understanding. Qiao Yelan followed Ivignad to a secluded corner, while Herlinmat gritted her teeth, still maintaining a polite smile, and greeted the other guests.

"No wonder the teacher didn't want to stay; it turns out you were the Vice Minister of Rites of the Great Yan Dynasty."

Ivignad's voice carried a hint of resentment.

"It was just sealed off after the New Year—you probably already know why I'm here this time, right?"

"I know, they're going to promote Lungmen Dollars, right?"

"Yes, as the first country to respond to Lungmen Coin, Great Yan will certainly not treat you unfairly—I have already opened up the entire trade route from Lungmen to Shining Hoof City, and the rest will be left to you."

Ivignad nodded.

"No problem. We have reorganized the army. After signing the treaty with Ursus, the public opinion environment for us in Letania has improved a lot. At least no one is talking about our qualifications as Elector anymore—we have secured our position."

"As expected of my student."

Qiao Yelan's praise brought a happy expression to Her Majesty the Empress's face.

"Have you tried to probe Snitz's intentions?"

"Yes, but the Supervisory Council didn't react much to the Lungmen Coin issue. After all, they weren't involved in the business. I secretly contacted Rose Newspaper, and Bain's side said that there were significant disagreements within the Business Federation."

"It seems there's not much of a problem. The Kazimir matter can be put on hold for now—the reconstruction and expansion of Trilintelme seems to be going well, but what's the actual situation?"

When asked about this, Ivignad's face showed a hint of pride.

"The progress is very good. Fremont has found two very talented designers from the Leitania Academy of Fine Arts, one named Adolf and the other named Albert. One of them is good at drawing architecture and the other is good at making models—the new Trilintelmere has been designed beautifully by them."

"Then I'll wait and see."

Qiao Yelan smiled and nodded.

“We are just a delegation. We will negotiate as we see fit when the other negotiating teams arrive. By the way, whatever you do, don’t let Herlinmat negotiate. She really knows nothing about this.”

"But I remember she went with the teacher to negotiate with Werner, who was led by Shi Tong, and the negotiations went very well."

“I was doing all the talking—she didn’t have the same decisiveness she had when she was wielding a longsword. During the negotiations, she was so nervous that she held my hand tightly and wouldn’t let go.”

Qiao Yelan said irritably.

Ivignad's smile froze.

Then the doctor discovered that he had lost control of one of his hands.

Her Majesty the Queen, dressed in pure white, leaned close to Qiao Yelan's ear, her breath sweet and fragrant, carrying a hint of melancholy that mingled with her hot, moist breath.

"I'm a little nervous now, teacher. Can I hold your hand a little longer?"

Qiao Yelan: ?

Why are you nervous about hosting a banquet?

The Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies, who was having a lively conversation with Herlinmat, was interrupted by a strange explosion. Startled, he looked around and finally his gaze fell on the cracked wine glass in the other man's hand.

"Your Majesty, your cup seems to..."

"It's just a pattern."

"Huh? But—"

"It's just a pattern."

"Uh...yes, you're right. Our Great Yan also has porcelain with this pattern, called ice crackle, which is quite popular among high-ranking officials and nobles..."

The people of the Court of State Ceremonial were always well-informed and observant, so while they were talking nonsense, they were already paying attention to the direction that Helinmat had just been looking.

What the hell!

His voice trembled slightly, but he managed to change the tone well.

His gaze also turned away.

No wonder this Lord Qiao was parachuted into the Court of State Ceremonial to lead the delegation to Letania—it really wasn't through connections.

Uh... I guess this counts as using connections.

Chapter 103 Using a Chicken to Lay Eggs

After the dinner, there was a week or so of visits, all of which were template-like. After all, Qiao Yelan was only there to finalize the tone of the cooperation; the real negotiations still needed to be handled by professionals.

Qiao Yelan did not give the two empresses any further instructions. Once things were on track, he preferred to let them do things themselves—after all, the Tower of Babel alone had already exhausted him, and if he were to take care of every sub-power that needed to be developed, even a Marquis of Wu would be worn out.

He didn't want his memories to be erased every few years.

"My lord, if we are to go to Lateran, shouldn't we visit Syracuse first?"

“Syracus was once just an electoral district of Letania, and they didn’t have a well-organized army. In His Majesty’s eyes, they were no different from places like Shelag and Minos, and there was no need to spend too much effort on them.”

Qiao Yelan rejected the proposal of the Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonial with sufficient reasons.

"Considering the relationship between Syracuse and Letania, and the friendly attitude shown by the Queens towards the Great Yan, there is absolutely no need to cause unpleasantness with the country that truly holds the power in the region over a small, insignificant country."

"That's what my lord said."

The other party withdrew, convinced.

Of course, that's not the only reason.

The Tower of Babel still has some unfinished plans in Syracuse, so it's not advisable to introduce a powerful external force at this time—otherwise, the pack of dogs that call themselves wolves might be blinded by the new opportunity.

After all, if the Great Yan were to go, they would have to bribe them with real money.

Regaining her composure, Qiao Yelan focused her attention on the place she was about to visit.

Rutland.

-------------------------------------------------- ---

"Your Excellency Head of the Great Yan Mission, I am Partridge, one of the Papal Knights. I have been sent by His Holiness the Pope to protect you and the mission and guide you safely to the Holy City of Lateran."

"Thank you for coming, Sir Partridge. I am Qiao Yelan, the leader of the Great Yan delegation and the Vice Minister of Rites and Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies of Great Yan."

Unexpectedly, the Papal Knights led by Partridgeon were not waiting inside Lateran, but outside Letania.

"Has something been amiss in Laterano lately? Why would you be waiting here?"

"That's not the case. It's just that His Holiness the Pope attaches great importance to exchanges with the Great Yan."

The other party kept quiet.

Qiao Yelan didn't ask any more questions. Because of the Sakota's strange empathy ability, Babel Tower had very limited knowledge of Laterano and could only develop some Liberi tribesmen. They knew almost nothing about the intelligence inside the Holy City.
