Chapter 247: 147: Envoy of Yatun (Please Vote for Recommendation)
Uncle and Bailuo stepped out of the castle dungeon, “Didn’t you say to let me give it a try? So, let’s give it a try.”
Bailuo was never too kind to Dumbass.
A captive is a captive.
Not a member of the Yatun Clan for a single day, then forever an outsider.
However, Bailuo didn’t go overboard, he wouldn’t truly leave the other side with any psychological shadows; he had that much measure.
“Alaya, thank you for your hard work.”
“Please rest assured, Your Majesty, take your time.”
Alaya, who had endured a lifetime of darkness, naturally didn’t find a mere dungeon challenging.
Moreover, the cells in Yatun were actually luxurious, even more so than hotels.
After all, Sigurian and Kristin were people of status; Bailuo couldn’t be too harsh, or else if his people were ever captured, he would eventually have to reap what he sowed.
That’s the unwritten rule.
You play it humane, and so will I.
If you play dirty, then don’t blame me for not being nice!
“What’s next on the agenda?”
“You need a secretary too.”
“Aren’t you?”
“Me? An old man, be a secretary?”
Uncle: “Besides, I have my own matters to attend to, I can’t follow you around all the time.”
“Gonnia?”
“She’s in charge of the trade outside now.”
“Then Beya.”
“He needs to learn, and he’s still a boy.”
“What’s wrong with a boy?!”
Bailuo: feeling the chill, when will the boys of our Yatun stand up?
“Alright, forget about the boy.”
Bailuo: “Then what do you think about Miya and Sheila? If that’s really not working, Ina is also an option.”
“Ina, the one that came from outside?”
Uncle originally wanted to say that she wasn’t from the Yatun Clan, but as the words came to the tip of his tongue, Uncle changed his mind: “According to Lilith, this Ina admires you greatly, to the point of obsession, even fervently.”
Ina nearly prays to Bailuo every day, hoping to always be by his side.
Although she’s not from the Yatun Clan, the Yatun Duchy isn’t only made up of the Yatun Clan; Tree Elves, Fairies, they are all Bailuo’s trusted confidants, his close followers.
Ina’s loyalty to Bailuo could be seen in how the Miracle Power favored her.
Ina had become thoroughly a person of Yatun, even if Bailuo asked her to die now, the girl wouldn’t hesitate for a moment and would readily embrace death.
Such a person, how could she not be considered one of our own?
If Bailuo doesn’t treat her well, then whom should he treat well?
“This matter is indeed feasible,” Uncle said, “Yatun needs to bring in fresh blood, both she and Hailbo are good choices.”
“But…”
Uncle: “The talent of Sheila and Miya is not less than hers, right?”
Uncle, while not discriminating against outsiders, valued the original clan members.
If there’s no choice, then it doesn’t matter.
But if there is a choice, like when talents are similar, Uncle would still favor the Yatun Clan.
Similarly, Bailuo was essentially the same.
Helpless, who could compare to Miya, who was one of their own in Bailuo’s eyes?
A decade’s worth of feelings, moreover, Bailuo watched her grow up, could just anyone compare?
“Then let it be Sheila.”
Bailuo thought of Sheila’s temperament, cool, quiet, indeed very suitable for a secretary.
The main reason, however, was that Sheila was a beauty in the making.
After all, as the old saying goes, secretaries do what’s necessary, and if not necessary, well, let it be unnecessary!
“Speaking of Hailbo, do you have a decision, Your Majesty?”
“Sigh…”
Bailuo helplessly said, “That kid wants to be a general.”
Uncle wanted Hailbo to serve as an Envoy, to visit various nations.
Because the kid was quick witted and eloquent.
As long as Uncle could give him some good training for a while, he would certainly become a talent urgently needed by Yatun.
More importantly, Bailuo and Hailbo’s relationship was not that deep.
If it were someone else, Bailuo couldn’t bear to send them, but with Hailbo, Bailuo could accept it.
The words might hurt, but that was the reality.
“How would you know,” Uncle didn’t say more, but instead sighed, “that he hadn’t thought about it already?”
“…”
“I will take my leave now, Your Majesty, you can summon the kid and ask him for his thoughts.”
“Very well.”
Bailuo nodded, “They have joined the people of Yatun on the battlefield; it is time I granted them official status.”
Soon, under the guidance of the fairies,
Hailbo, Ina, and Silly Tiger, trembling with nervousness, walked into the Avalon Castle Hall to face Bailuo.
“We greet Your Majesty!”
Hailbo was the first to kneel on one knee, Ina elegantly knelt sitting on the ground, and Silly Tiger…
Thump, fell to his knees.
Bailuo could do nothing about him, so he let him be.
“I summoned the three of you here concerning the previous sea battle.”
Here it comes!
Hailbo guessed Bailuo’s intentions, but his expression didn’t change as he patiently waited.
“Your performances were very good.”
“Henceforth, you are now citizens of our Yadun.”
Bailuo said, “You may freely traverse the Avalon World, and if you can master it, you may also freely learn the Power of the Fighting Saint Method.”
Of course, the Fighting Saint Method has level restrictions.
If you haven’t reached Extraordinary, Transcendent, or Hero, you cannot proceed to the next level.
There are regulations for this, so it’s not entirely at will.
“Thank you, Your Majesty!”
Hailbo led the way in expressing loyalty, with Ina and Silly Tiger immediately following suit.
It must be said, Hailbo truly had the air of an elder brother.
Such talent, indeed one looks forward to whatever he does.
And Uncle had indeed affirmed Hailbo’s military talent, the boy was outstanding in all aspects.
“Hailbo, stay behind for a moment.”
Bailuo: “Ina and Silly Tiger, you may go back first.”
“Oh, then I’m going back to eat, Your Majesty.”
“Right, right, right.”
Bailuo, unable to help but smile: “Eat well, drink well, eat and drink well.”
