Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords.

Chapter 325 Mermaid Princess

The Sith delegation was shocked by their king's behavior and wanted to speak up to persuade him, but after opening their mouths they chose to remain silent.

They collectively believed that their Majesty must have ulterior motives for making this decision.

"Your Majesty Elizabeth truly deserves the title of 'Emerald of the Western Capital'. If the common people knew that you are willing to return a piece of fertile land to them, they would be grateful to you." Ferro was full of admiration, but he added fuel to the fire.

"I never thought that the king of Sith would be so devoted to his country and his people." Mil, who was standing behind the lord as a guard, said in a low voice.

Standing next to him was Zat, an orc holding a special wooden box in his hands, and looking idly at the griffin carved on the ceiling.

To it, the content of parliament is like a mystery, which gives it a headache.

The two men were wearing fine plate armor and stood upright on the left and right of the lord, like two generals.

Originally, with the lord's strength, it would be hard to say who would protect whom if they were asked to act as guards. However, other nobles all brought guards with them, so the Lord of Gaoya Castle, who was very concerned about his reputation, naturally did not want to be left behind.

"Who knows if it's because of some internal problems." The lord snorted with disdain: "Now actively returning this land not only solves the conflict but also wins a good reputation."

But all in all, this is a good thing, although it has little to do with him, the Lord of Highcliff Castle.

"I have made up my mind. The agreement on this matter will be signed by Tommen and Derby later." Elizabeth waved her hand, stood up and stretched. "In this turbulent and dangerous time, we should put aside our respective conflicts. I intend to sign a peace treaty, and Lake Bayel is to demonstrate my sincerity."

Most people on the Debe side found it hard to believe. Returning Lake Bayer would have been fine, but they didn't expect the queen to sign a peace treaty.

In the past, they often sent delegations to the Holy Sith Kingdom in the hope that the two sides would develop peacefully, but the results always ended in failure. Now the good news came so suddenly.

"We, the Taylors, request a temporary adjournment!" Archbishop Liro put down the attendance card on the table in front of him, his eyes firm as a pair of fish-man eyes, "Although this is a bit disrespectful, I think Her Majesty Elizabeth may have drunk alcohol before attending the parliament, and made this irrational decision."

"Bishop Liro, do you like catching mice?" the lord suddenly asked.

"What?" The other party was a little confused.

"Why are you so nosy about other people's business? What the hell does this have to do with you?" Levi cursed vulgarly. He had been annoyed with this guy for a long time.

He stood there with a scepter in his hand, looking superior, and glanced at him from time to time.

Obviously, returning the land had nothing to do with the other party, but he had to interfere, as if he was giving his great-grandmother's grave to Debe.

After all, he is the real Duke of Derby. At this critical moment, he must live up to his identity and position.

"The Lord is fair and will never allow thieves to occupy other people's territories!" Li Luo's old face was filled with a chilling coldness, enough to make the scorching sun in July blow away the cold wind: "This Lord Levi is so vulgar and barbaric, he is indeed a mud-legged man born in the wilderness, without the slightest education!"

He is a magician at the pinnacle of epic, proficient in all kinds of powerful spells, although it is said that this dragon knight killed a Balrog from the abyss.

But as a wizard who studies the mysteries of the world, he knows more. These demon cubs from the abyss will be suppressed by one level when they come to the material world. In fact, what they killed at that time were at most epic-level fire demons.

Not to mention that I heard that the other party has not yet advanced to the legendary level. Maybe he was able to achieve this with the help of that giant dragon.

Heard that the dragon did not follow the other party to Gunda, and this is where his confidence comes from.

It is no wonder that the archbishop made such a judgment.

Almost all the famous dragon riders in history are no match for the giant dragon.

As a top-level magical creature, the dragon is so powerful that it does not even need words to describe. Human warriors of the same level must form a suitable dragon-slaying team to defeat the dragon.

In other words, if a strong person is strong enough to defeat a dragon alone, then there is no need to take the dragon as a mount.

As for why humans can become partners with dragons, it is naturally because dragons possess wisdom that is no less than that of humans. In their long and dull lives, they are occasionally moved by some of humans' unique qualities or hearts as pure as diamonds.

They live long enough to witness the vicissitudes of life, so naturally they don't mind taking out a few decades of their short time to accompany an interesting life to its end.

The dragon knight's main combat power comes from the dragon.

This is something that everyone, including the Dragon Rider himself, agrees with.

"Is the Lord your father? Where did he get a prostitute to give birth to a goblin like you? Or is it because you have no mother and grew up drinking dog's milk that you learned to bark like a dog?" The lord cursed viciously, without any moral character of respecting the elderly and loving the young. His words were enough to make even the shrews in the neighborhood find it unbearable to listen to.

Speaking of the skill of cursing, the Lord who was once able to dominate a certain blog and fight against female boxers, no one in this world can match him, let alone a high and mighty bishop.

Li Luo was immediately shocked by the viciousness and filthiness he had never seen before, and his whole body was shaking: "You...you..."

"What are you talking about? If you dare to say another word, I'll give you a ten thousand pound slap in the face!" Levi continued to curse.

Li Luo's face looked ugly, but the group of Taylor West Church members around him looked even uglier.

The god they believed in was the omniscient Father, but now this man from Highcliff Castle described him as a prostitute.

This is even more intolerable than killing their parents. The Lord has undoubtedly aroused the anger of the crowd with just one sentence.

"I want to duel with you!" Countless Tayloris clergymen angrily climbed onto the parliament table, ready to flip it over and teach the lord a lesson, but they were held tightly by their own messengers behind them and could only crawl on the table and could not get over.

"You want a duel, right? I'll satisfy you." Levi sneered and snapped his fingers. Zha Manzi, who was eager to watch the fun, immediately opened the box in his arms excitedly, and saw that it was full of white gloves that had been prepared long ago.

The lord grabbed a handful and started to scatter white gloves like flowers from the sky. Suddenly, the air was full of white gloves drawing arcs and flying towards Taylorsi.

It was thought that this group of angry Taylorisi clergy would catch the white gloves and accept the duel from the Lord of Highcliff Castle, but when they saw the white gloves flying towards them, their faces changed drastically. They jumped off the table and crawled under it, or ran to the sides to avoid it, completely unlike their previous rebellious look.

But who is the Lord? Known as a real man who never misses a shot, these white gloves are like trackers, chasing after these clergymen.

For a moment, white gloves were flying around the entire parliament hall, as if chasing a group of rabbits, accompanied by all kinds of exclamations, it was very lively.

"It's so cruel! Too cruel!" At this moment, Ferro's admiration for the Lord was like a surging river. He was the first person who dared to do this in such a meeting, but the other party had no way to deal with it. After all, no matter how bad the Lord of High Cliff Castle was, he was not something that a group of ordinary clergy could deal with.

"Enough, Lord Levi, I accept your duel!" At this moment, Li Luo grabbed a pair of flying white gloves in his hand and poked the floor with his staff. A magic shield appeared out of thin air and wrapped around Taylorsi and the others, blocking the flying white gloves outside. Taylorsi and the others breathed a sigh of relief, with a fleeting look of shame on their faces.

The archbishop stared at the lord with cold eyes.

Levi met his gaze fearlessly, and his lazy gaze suddenly turned into a sharp lightning, just like the dark cloud sky in the dark night, which looks pitch black, and suddenly a bolt of thunder broke out across the sky, illuminating the bleak earth.

Both Elizabeth and Harland noticed Levi's transformation, and they secretly redefined this man.

Normally, the Lord of High Cliff Castle looked easy to get along with, even a little bohemian, but the temperament he just displayed made them realize that everything that happened before was just a disguise.

"Wait." Just when the two sides were about to have a duel on the spot, Elizabeth, who had been watching the show, called for a pause.

The Queen of "Xidu Emerald" looked at Haaland who was in the first place and said, "Your Majesty Haaland, do you like dueling?"

"Duel? Hahaha, I love this damn duel!" Harland took a big gulp of wine. No venue could stop the king from drinking. He was in high spirits: "Especially an unlimited one-on-one duel!"

He was also a knight when he was young, and his favorite thing was to solve problems through duels.

"How about we have a knight duel among the three of us?" Elizabeth's lips curled up slightly. "We each choose three people, and we play two out of three games."

"How about we each place a little bet on this duel? I'm going to put up Lake Bayel and a piece of earldom further west, plus a golden statue of Zhaidai as the stakes. The winner takes all."

There was an uproar.

Not only Debe and Taylor, but even the Holy Sith Kingdom opened their eyes wide.

"Your Majesty Elizabeth, it is absurd to use a duel to determine the ownership of the territory and the Zhaidaijin people!" The envoy of the Holy Sith Kingdom could not help but advise.

Such absurd acts of gaining territory through a duel are rare in the entire history, and monarchs who do this are usually regarded as tyrants.

The envoy could not bear to see such a wise monarch leave a stain in his biography.

"I agree." Harland first expressed his agreement, and then said this after careful consideration: "Then I will bet five hundred griffins and an earldom of the same size in the West!"

"Is Gray okay?" He looked at the Duke of the West.

"Your Majesty, it's up to you to decide." Old Gray bowed slightly.

"Okay, it's decided. Archbishop Liro, do you need to ask His Holiness the Pope for instructions?" Haaland clapped his hands and turned his attention to Taylor's side.

"No, I can make the decision on my own just based on these." Li Luo's eyes finally calmed down, but everyone could see the anger hidden in his eyes. He looked at the Lord of High Cliff Castle and said, "I will also use a piece of Taylor's earldom as a bet, plus a piece of the magician's soul crystal!"

"But besides that, I want to make a separate bet with Lord Levi!"

"Oh?" Levi laughed and asked, "What do you want to bet on?"

Originally, he just wanted to teach the other party a lesson, but he didn't expect to get some extra benefits. Naturally, the lord didn't mind accepting it all.

Li Luo touched the ring on his middle finger, and a white light flashed. An ice ball more than one meter tall appeared in the center of the venue. Inside it sat a beautiful girl with a crystal clear crown on her head. Under the reflection of the chandelier on the dome of the parliament hall, the crystal crown sparkled with gorgeous reflections.

Below the girl's waist is a huge fishtail, which is the same beautiful and dazzling golden color as her wet hair.

Her skin is as white as milk, her lips are as red as roses, and her eyes are as blue and pure as the shore of Lake Cero, giving people endless room for imagination.

Everyone was shocked, this was undoubtedly a mermaid, and with the typical blonde hair and unforgettable appearance, she was also the royal mermaid of the legendary Seattle Empire!
According to legend, these humanoid races in the ocean like to use their beautiful songs to confuse passing merchant ships and make them sleep forever under the sea. They also like to use fresh humans as food. They are terrifying natural water magicians and the undisputed overlords of the ocean.

But these are already history, and mermaids have already existed on a page of text in history books thousands of years ago.

I didn't expect to see it here.

"What use would I have for a dead mermaid? Perhaps some disgusting collectors with unique fetishes would like it!" The lord sneered, not hiding his indirect criticism at all.

"This is a living mermaid." Li Luo snorted coldly, "It's just that I used magic to temporarily restrain her. As long as I remove the magic, she will be a living creature!"

"How to prove it?" Levi snapped his fingers.

He is a typical person who won't release the eagle until he sees the rabbit.

Lilo waved his staff lightly, and the ice ball gradually thawed from the inside. Everyone present saw with their own eyes that the drooping eyelids of the mermaid princess inside moved noticeably.

Then there were bursts of exclamations.

No one expected that one day they would see a living mermaid, a royal one at that.

"Your Excellency Archbishop, may I ask where you got this mermaid?" Harland knocked on the table and looked over with an inquiring look.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry I can't tell you." Li Luo said, "Everyone has secrets. I can guarantee that this mermaid princess will not bring us any trouble!"

He said it categorically.

"I have so many beautiful maids that they can be lined up from Highcliff Castle to White Flow Castle. Even if the other party is a mermaid, she can't bring me any substantial use."

The lord shook his head slowly.

"Don't you know a legend, Lord Levi?"
