I only heard a few words at the end.

"...Damn, he's worthy of being a doctor. He's obviously in a wheelchair, but he's still making such a fuss?"

Qiao Yelan just sat in the wheelchair, staring at the water cup.

“PRTS.”

【Please give the order, Doctor.】

"Send me all the instructions Kal'tsit issued from the time I last fell asleep to the time I woke up this time, as well as the changes that occurred in the Tower of Babel during this period."

[Received, summarizing. ]

【Transmitted.】

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

As if luck really favored the delegation, they actually encountered several Sarkaz towns along the way, which were almost identical to the first town. This made it easy for the delegation to supply supplies along the way and ensure rest.

But the innkeeper has never seen such a beautiful one again.

"I am the deputy commander of the Voice of the Queen, the personal guard of His Majesty Emperor Leitania. I am here to greet the visiting delegation from Da Yan."

"Hello, Your Excellency the Commander. I am the leader of this delegation, the Minister of Rites of Dayan, Qiao Yelan."

It was obvious that the deputy commander on the opposite side had received professional training. Although his face twitched when he saw Qiao Yelan, he still did not show any extra expression.

After entering the territory of Leithania, the travel speed was obviously much faster, and soon they arrived at Trilinterme.

At this time, Cuilinterme was like a huge construction site, with construction going on everywhere. Not far away, one could even see the skeletons of mobile plots that had already begun to be laid.

The logo of the Meshko Group is shining brightly nearby.

Qiao Yelan was very satisfied with what he saw now. Only a few months after he introduced Casimir, Ivignad and Helinmart had already put the entire city on the right track. It was obvious that he had not misjudged them.

"Your Majesties have prepared a dinner. Please be sure to attend, everyone in the delegation."

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

Qiao Yelan said with a smile.

That night, the banquet hall was packed with distinguished guests.

Both Queens came to the dinner in their best attire. After all, it was the first official visit from Dayan, so the security around them were all directly provided by the Golden Law Guards.

"Welcome to Trilintelme, guests of Da Yan."

The dignity of Helinmart and Ivignad became more and more heavy, and it was obvious that they were now very comfortable with their status.

"Thank you for the banquet, Your Majesties. It is truly an honor."

Qiao Yelan bowed to the two majesties one by one.

After the polite greetings, Qiao Yelan winked at the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple, who nodded in understanding. Watching Qiao Yelan follow Ivignad to a secluded corner, Helinmart gritted her teeth and greeted the other guests with a decent smile.

"No wonder the teacher didn't want to stay. It turns out you are the Minister of Rites of Dayan."

There was a hint of resentment in Ivignard's voice.

"It was just closed after the Chinese New Year. Do you know the purpose of my visit this time?"

"I know, you want to promote Longmen Coin, right?"

"Yes, Leitania is the first country to respond to the Dragon Gate Coin. Da Yan will definitely not treat you unfairly. I have already opened up all the trade routes between Dragon Gate and Huiti City. The rest will be handed over to you."

Ivignad nodded.

"No problem. We have reorganized our army. After signing the treaty with Ursus, public opinion in Leitania has improved a lot towards us. At least no one is talking about the qualifications of the elector anymore. We have secured our position."

"You are worthy of being my student."

Qiao Yelan’s praise made Her Majesty the Queen look happy.

"Have you tried to probe Snitks?"

"Yes, but the Supervisory Council didn't react much to the Dragon Gate Coin incident. After all, they are not involved in the business. I secretly contacted Rose Newspapers, and Bain said that there are major disagreements within the Business Federation."

"It seems that the problem is not serious. We can put the matter of Casimir aside. The reconstruction and expansion of Trilintelme seems to be going well. What about the actual situation?"

When asked this, Ivignard showed a bit of pride on her face.

"The progress is very good. Fremont found two very good designers from the Leitania Academy of Fine Arts. One is called Adolf and the other is called Albert. One of them is good at drawing buildings and the other is good at making models. The new Trilinterme was designed by them very beautifully."

"Then I'll wait and see."

Qiao Yelan smiled and nodded.

"We are just an envoy. When the negotiation team comes, we will talk as usual. By the way, don't let Helinmart go to negotiate. She really knows nothing about this."

"But I remember she went with the teacher to negotiate with Shi Tong's Volna, didn't she? And the negotiation was very effective."

"That was all me talking - she didn't have the decisiveness she had when she was wielding the sword. During the negotiation, she was so nervous that she kept holding my hand and refused to let go."

Qiao Yelan said unhappily.

Ivignard's smile froze.

Then the doctor found that he had lost control of one hand again.

Her Majesty the pure white Queen bent her head to Qiao Yelan's ear, her breath was as sweet as orchid, and the sound that reached her ears along with the hot and moist breath was filled with a hint of heart-stirring resentment.

"Well, I'm a little nervous now, Teacher, can I hold your hand for a while longer?"

Qiao Yelan:?

Why are you so nervous about holding a banquet?

The Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple, who was chatting with Helinmart, was interrupted by a strange explosion. He was startled and looked around, and finally his eyes fell on the cracked wine glass in the other person's hand.

"Your Majesty, your cup seems..."

“It’s just a pattern.”

"Eh? But——"

“It’s just a pattern.”

"Uh... yes, you are right. We in Dayan also have porcelain with such patterns, called ice crackle patterns, which are also very popular among dignitaries..."

The people in the Honglu Temple have always been attentive, so while they were talking nonsense, they were already paying attention to the direction that Helinmart had just looked at.

What the hell!

His voice trembled a bit when he spoke, but he managed to change the tone well.

His own gaze also turned away.

No wonder this Lord Qiao was parachuted into the Honglu Temple to be the leader of this diplomatic mission to Letania - it really is not about connections.

Uh...I guess this can also be considered as using connections.

Chapter 103: Borrowing Chickens to Lay Eggs

After the dinner, there were visits for about a week, all of which were templated. After all, Qiao Yelan was only here to set the tone for the cooperation, and the real negotiations still had to be done by professionals.

Qiao Yelan did not instruct the two Queens on anything more. After things were on the right track, he preferred to let them do it themselves - after all, the Tower of Babel alone had exhausted him, and if he had to take care of every sub-force that needed to be developed, even Wu Hou would be exhausted to death.

He didn't want to have his memory erased in just a few years.

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

"Syracuse was once just an electoral region of Leithania, and they don't have an organized army. In your Majesty's opinion, they are no different from places like Kjerag and Minos. There is no need to spend too much time on this aspect."

Qiao Yelan rejected the proposal of the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple with sufficient reasons.

"Considering the relationship between Syracuse and Leitania, and the friendly attitude shown by the Queens towards Da Yan, there is absolutely no need to cause unpleasantness with the country that truly holds the right to speak in the region for the sake of an unimportant small country."

"That's what my lord said."

The other party retreated convinced.

Of course, this is not the only reason.

The Tower of Babel still had some plans to complete in Syracuse, so a powerful external force could not be introduced at this time - otherwise the group of dogs who called themselves wolves might be dazzled by the new bones.

After all, if Dayan went there, he would have to bribe them with real money.

Gathering his thoughts, Qiao Yelan focused on where he was going next.

Rutland.

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

"Your Excellency, the head of the Great Yan envoy, I am Patrizione, one of the Papal Knights. I am here under the order of His Holiness the Pope to protect you and the envoy and guide you to the Holy City of Lateran safely."

"Thank you for coming, Knight Patrizione - I am the leader of the Great Yan delegation, Qiao Yelan, the Minister of Rites and Minister of the Honglu Temple of the Great Yan."

Unexpectedly, the Papal Knights led by Patrizión were not waiting in Lateran, but outside of Leitania.

"Has there been any instability in Lateran recently? Why would you wait here, Your Excellency?"

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

The other party remained tight-lipped.

Qiao Yelan did not ask any more questions. Because of Sakota's miraculous empathy, Babel Tower had very limited knowledge of Lateran and could only develop some subordinates of the Liberian tribe. It knew almost nothing about the information inside the holy city.

However, the relationship between Babel Tower and Lateran has always been very good. There are a large number of infected Sakota working in Babel Tower, including Outcast who is now stationed in Longmen. She was even one of the cardinals of the Pope's Office - which is equivalent to the position of Shangshu in Dayan.

With the double protection of the Papal Knights and the Imperial Guards, the two most elite emperor's guards of the two countries, Qiao Yelan arrived at the Holy City without encountering any problems, not to mention seeing anything along the way.

"Welcome to the Holy City, Your Excellency Qiao Yelan. I am the Cardinal of the Seventh Chamber of the Pope's Office, Oren Agiolas. I will be responsible for connecting with you while your delegation is staying in the Holy City."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Lord Oren."

It was a dinner party as usual, but the prosperous Lateran could make much more extensive preparations than Triintreme, which was still a construction site.

“I have to admit that Rutland’s desserts are works of art – sweetness always brings me the most enjoyable time.”

Qiao Yelan picked up a glass of lemonade and reset his taste buds.

"If a Sakota can only make less than 30 kinds of desserts, he will be laughed at."

Oren swirled the champagne in his hand.

"But, perhaps only in Rutland can people have such time and freedom to pursue such things."

The man put down the glass of water in his hand with an impeccable smile on his face.

His chess piece detection radar seemed to have just gone off.

"Isn't this enough? There are too many disasters and hardships on the land of Terra. Being born in Lateran is something that many people envy - not to mention, you are now one of the cardinals of the Papal Palace. Even in Lateran, you have reached the end of your power."

"You're right. If an outsider hears what I say, it may sound like I don't know the sufferings of the world."

Oren smiled wryly.

"You are indeed different from the Sakota people I have seen living in the Holy City. They are always happy and carefree. Instead, you are very similar to the Sakota people I have seen outside of Lateran, such as the Messengers of All Nations."

"Courier of Nations...Have you seen many Laterans?"

"Not much, but not too little either. The Laterans are always optimistic and compassionate, so no one would hate to be friends with a Sakota—especially when they are in great need of help."

The cardinal's expression became more serious. He looked around and found that no one was paying attention to them at the moment. He couldn't help but lower his voice and asked a question.

"Sir Qiao Yelan, do you think that all the Terrans are so friendly to Sakota nowadays?"

"Why not? This is a recognized paradise. Everyone knows that Lateran is the most just and safest place in Terra. Everyone wants to settle here."

"But, has jealousy and anger never been inflicted on Rutland?"

Oren said worriedly.

"The Lateran is too detached from this land. Although His Holiness the Pope founded the Messenger of Nations system nine years ago, which enabled the Lateran people to help more people who really need help, the Messenger of Nations system has not really achieved much results due to the resistance of various countries and regions."

"The first generation of Lateran saints once walked on this land. They helped not only the Sakota, but all other races. That's why they were able to lead all living beings to overthrow the Tikaz. But now, the glory of Lateran only shines on the Laterans. One day, this selfishness may bring disaster to Lateran."

Qiao Yelan was keenly aware of Mr. Oren's current mood.

"I can't say that this situation doesn't exist, Mr. Oren. Many Sakota people who were not born in Lateran have returned to Lateran, but left again because they were extremely confused - why is there such a split on this land?"

"Latlan will accept the Sakota people who return here, but this does not mean that Latlan will help the hometowns of these Sakota people. Those who come to the holy city to seek help can only look at the happiness and peace here and finally return to their hometowns disappointed."

His words made Oren start to listen attentively involuntarily.

"You have to understand that for the common people who have never lived in Lateran in their lives, this place is nothing more than an illusory dream that is talked about by others. They may murmur a few words of envy, but no one believes that a place like Lateran really exists, so there is no question of jealousy or anything like that."
