Chapter 1580 - 450: The Demon King Arrives at His Loyal Thunder City (Part 2)
Due to the recent construction efforts by the Holy Temple Knight Order from the Holy City on the territory of the "Colin Duchy," the Lizardmen of the Gana Continent are no longer as unfamiliar with this "foreign species" as they were over a year ago.
Establishing diplomatic relations means being able to sell corn to farther places, something that naturally pleases the chieftains and priests of the United Kingdom.
After a fierce discussion, this glorious and arduous task ultimately fell on the shoulders of the Wind Roar Clan, hence Sak Jifeng appeared on this ship.
In fact, the Clan Mother of the Sand Ridge Clan, Aisemata, was also immensely eager to send her clan members to serve Lord Demon King.
Unfortunately, the Sand Ridge Clan had already received too many benefits from the Demon King, which aroused the dissatisfaction of other chiefdoms, so Aisemata could only regretfully give way.
To demonstrate the prosperity of the Gutaf United Kingdom, Urga Wind Split also put forth his utmost Spirit, treating this visit with great seriousness.
As the envoy accompanying Prince Colin in his visit to the Campbell Duchy, Sak Jifeng not only brought the gold and jewels produced in abundance on the Gana Continent, but also brought many advanced industrial goods "imported to export" from Beifeng City!
For instance, the further improved steam engine, more accurate pocket watches, and more sophisticated spring mattresses, and so on...
After all, in the story woven by Prince Colin, the natives of the Gana Continent are not uncivilized at all.
The diligent and brave descendants of Gutaf not only established a highly prosperous civilized country but also shared the improved steam turbine and boiler technology with the Imperial commercial ships suffering in the great storm!
With the Great Graveyard supporting him, Sak is full of confidence that he can beautifully complete this task and impress the "bumpkins" of the Campbell Duchy!
Seeing Sak's full confidence, Luo Yan smiled and asked him about some recent happenings on the Gana Continent, such as how the various tribes are getting along since he left.
Although he had long learned about these updates from the official website, he still showed concern from the position of the Demon King.
Lest the people of the Gana Continent feel neglected by him.
Just while he and Sak were chatting, many familiar figures had already appeared on the nearby port.
Including the Mayor and Governor of Thunder City, as well as Luo Yan's old friend Yang Andes—the key promoter for the Colin Group's listing!
Seeing that the time was just right, Luo Yan interrupted Sak's endless talk, explaining the first task after their rendezvous.
"From now on, your identity is not just an envoy of the Gutaf United Kingdom, but also a cousin of Chief Urga Wind Split from the Wind Roar Kingdom."
"If anyone asks what a chiefdom is, just use an Imperial province or a duchy as an example, and ensure not to allow the Campbell people to belittle you."
Sak was taken aback.
Though he has absolute obedience to Lord Demon King's orders without any hesitation, the sudden change of identity still left him stunned on the spot.
Cousin of Lord Urga?
Is this something one can just take on?
Cold sweat began to exude from the sweat glands beneath his scales, and he lowered his head in a state of fear and reverence.
"Your Highness, Chief Urga... he doesn't have a cousin."
As if having anticipated his response, Luo Yan's expression remained unchanged, leaving the matter with a tone that brooked no argument.
"Oh? Well, now he has one."
"But, but…"
"That person is you, as I said."
Although Luo Yan did not doubt Urga's loyalty, using someone else's aide naturally doesn't feel as familiar as using his own.
Give this guy some intensity first.
Besides, this identity is not necessarily a bad thing for Sak himself; at least it allows him to blend more naturally into the high society of Thunder City.
Even if it's without his own help.
Exactly.
The Demon King adept at time management is about to "hop points" again.
Not a spur-of-the-moment plan, Luo Yan intended from the beginning—only to make a brief contact in Thunder City, show his face, then leap back to Twilight Province.
Just after Luo Yan finished explaining the matters to pay attention to with Sak, Sarah, who had just disappeared for a while, walked over from behind the deck.
She was holding a freshly printed newspaper, just bought from the Thunder City port, still warm.
Taking the newspaper from Sarah's hands, Luo Yan glanced at it, with a satisfied smile on his face.
The headline on the newspaper was precisely the news he was looking for—
The magic photo of Erin Campbell's sprightly and heroic demeanor was vividly printed on the front cover, with the Northern Relief Army's flag and heavily armed soldiers behind her.
Compared to a year ago, the once untamed girl had matured considerably, seemingly growing along with the ever-developing Thunder City.
Both in temperament and in spirit.
Luo Yan took the newspaper only for symbolic look, then passed it to the still struggling-to-digest Sak.
Clearing his throat, Luo Yan spoke up.
"Prince Colin worries for Princess Erin's safety. He said she is an important friend to him, and he cannot leave her unattended, hence not pausing for a moment, and rushing to Twilight Province with his trusted aide right after disembarking."
"He asked Sak Jifeng, who was accompanying, to give his regards to old friends on his behalf, to assure them not to worry about him; he will be back soon, blessed by the Holy Light Society... What do you think of this story?"
"I…" Sak opened his mouth, unable to utter whether it is good or bad.
