The End of the Earth

By noon, more and more people came to Yeviu Castle, and there was a constant stream of people.

Almost all of them were delivering wine, and they were all deputy officials from various departments in the royal court.

Xiang San didn't expect that these people would actually take what he said at the dinner at the Duke's Mansion seriously?

Xiang San stood in the hall of Yeweiu Castle, gazing at the bustling crowd before him, a feeling of emotion welled up in his heart. He'd only casually mentioned it, but he hadn't expected these officials to take it so seriously, bringing wine with them. He couldn't help but chuckle at himself; it seemed his influence within the royal court was far greater than he'd imagined.

"Sir Xiang, this is a fine wine that our department has treasured for many years, specially sent to you." An official in a purple robe respectfully handed over a bottle of wine.

Xiang San took the bottle and gave it a gentle shake. The wine swirled in the bottle, emitting waves of tempting aroma. He smiled slightly and said to the official, "Thank you for your kindness. I will definitely taste this wine."

Upon hearing this, the official's face lit up with joy, and he quickly bowed and stepped aside. At this time, several more officials came forward and offered their own wines. Xiang San accepted them one by one, but in his heart he was thinking about how to use these wines to deepen his relationship with the officials.

Just as Xiang San was immersed in his thoughts, an official in a black robe walked over with a barely perceptible cunning look on his face.

"Sir Xiang, what do you think of this wine?" The black-robed official handed over a bottle of wine with a tentative tone in his voice.

Xiang San took the bottle, examined it carefully, and then smiled gently: "This wine has a mellow color and a fragrant aroma. It must be top-grade. However, I am more curious about why you specially sent this bottle of wine?"

Upon hearing this, the black-robed official's eyes flashed with surprise, but he quickly regained his composure. "Master Xiang, you have a keen eye indeed. I stumbled upon this bottle of wine by accident. I heard you're quite knowledgeable about Azure Wine, so I'd like to invite you to taste it."

Xiang San nodded slightly, but he knew in his heart that the black-robed official must have some ulterior motive. He decided not to expose him for the time being, but instead accepted the bottle of wine and said to the black-robed official, "In that case, I will taste this bottle of wine carefully."

The black-robed official saw this and smiled with satisfaction. He bowed and left. Xiang San looked at his back, a gleam in his eyes. He knew that this was not a simple matter.

As time went on, the hall of Yeviu Castle became increasingly lively, the air filled with the aroma of various wines. Officials were either chatting or tasting wine, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Xiang San moved around, chatting with everyone.

"This is the first time I've seen a gift-giving event turned into a cocktail party."

Xiang San complained as he took a sip of the wine. The wine tasted bitter and astringent but after a few seconds it became sweet and had a unique flavor.

"Lord Xiang, isn't this a bad idea? Almost half of the officials from the important institutions of the royal court have come to our Yeweiwu Castle.

It would be bad if someone exaggerated the incident and made a malicious comment.”

"It doesn't matter, isn't that what the people you mentioned want me to be like?

Accept all the wine that was sent, and return all other expensive things. Although you have to make up for it, you can't refuse everything that comes to you.

I am greedy for wine, not for money. This way, even if someone takes advantage of this matter, it will not embarrass Her Majesty the Queen.

Let's do this. Have someone prepare a car and take me to the Chinese ambassador's residence."

Levis didn't ask any more questions, so he just responded and went to prepare.

Xiang San arrived at the Chinese ambassador's residence in the marquis's special car.

The bright red flag that fascinated and intrigued him was so eye-catching.

As soon as we arrived at the embassy gate, Li Sheng and his men were already waiting there.

As soon as he got off the car, Li Sheng greeted him with a smile and extended his right hand, but Xiang San did not shake it but unexpectedly gave him a hug.

The two entered the mansion surrounded by a crowd of people

Xiang San and Li Sheng were in the reception room, and the atmosphere gradually changed from a relaxed wine tasting conversation to an in-depth exchange.

Both men realized that this meeting was not only to maintain ties, but also to deepen the friendship and cooperation between the two countries.

Li Sheng gently put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at Xiang San with a firm gaze: "Mr. Xiang, we all know that friendship between countries cannot be established overnight. It requires sincerity and efforts from both sides. China has always cherished its relationship with your country. We are willing to deepen cooperation with you in many fields."

Xiang San nodded in agreement, his eyes gleaming with wisdom: "Ambassador Li, you are right.

Friendship is based on mutual respect and trust. Our two countries share common interests and goals, and I believe that through our joint efforts, we can transform this friendship into an even stronger cooperative relationship."

Li Sheng smiled slightly and continued, "Mr. Xiang, our country is willing to communicate and cooperate with your country in many fields such as education, science and technology, and economy.

We believe that through these collaborations, we can not only promote the common development of our two countries, but also deepen the integration of our two worlds."

Xiang San listened carefully, then slowly said: "Ambassador Li, I really appreciate China's open attitude and cooperative spirit.

We should also strengthen exchanges in the fields of culture, humanities, and military affairs so that the people of the two countries can better understand each other and enhance mutual affection."

The conversation between the two was full of constructiveness and foresight. They discussed specific cooperation projects, including academic exchanges, technological cooperation, trade agreements, etc. As the conversation deepened, both of them felt an unprecedented tacit understanding and trust.

Xiang San stood up, walked to the window, looked at the bustling streets outside, and said with emotion: "Ambassador Li, seeing the outside world, I deeply feel that our two countries have unlimited potential and opportunities.

As long as we work together, the road ahead will become broader and broader."

Li Sheng also stood up and walked over to Xiang San. The two stood side by side, gazing into the distance. "Lord Xiang, I completely agree with you. Let us use this meeting as a starting point to open a new chapter in the friendship and cooperation between our two countries."

Although all previous collaborations were headed by Grand Duke Gulawang, Li Sheng felt that this newly promoted human marquis seemed to have his own potential, and he heard that the current queen had a very good relationship with him.

More importantly, he obtained an important piece of information that the Elf Queen was likely to expand another legion, and the commander of this legion was likely to be the Marquis in front of him.

According to the Elf Queen's decree, the Marquis only had a nominal title but no real power, and he couldn't even set up his own guard.

But according to their intelligence personnel, the Elf Queen is building a mechanical legion, and he is the biggest candidate to obtain this legion.

"What's up, Ambassador Li? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Nothing, I'm just curious what country Mr. Xiang is from?"

Xiang San smiled and said, "You want to ask me if I was Chinese before, right?

Unfortunately, I'm not. I've been an orphan since childhood. However, if your country is willing, I would like to have a Chinese identity. I really yearn for your country. I heard that after the White Flash incident, the first country in the world to restore stability was China. Amazing execution."

"Then, Mr. Xiang, you came here today not just to discuss some conventional diplomatic rhetoric with me, right?"

Xiang San put down his wine glass, nodded, and stated his purpose.

"I have a subordinate, an old gentleman, who is Chinese.

After the White Flash incident, the world was in chaos and he tried to return to China many times but failed.

I would like to ask Mr. Ambassador to help contact his family, you see~"

Li Sheng said frankly that he could help. Although they were in the Elf Kingdom, a country founded by people from another world, as long as the Chinese needed help, he, Li Sheng, as the ambassador of China, would definitely agree.
