Chapter 88: Mission

When the dragoons returned to the Bibo Islands at full speed, the mission had also begun to return. Unlike when they came, the morale of the guard knights of the mission was low, and many of them were lost. All this is because their leader, Ryan, died, dying without dignity. The head of the mission, Luke, tried to use his head to calm the anger of the Northlanders, and poisoned his water sac. But this behavior, instead of quelling the anger, completely angered the Northlanders.
The Northlanders returned Ryan's head intact. A soldier should not end this way, and should not die under his own conspiracy and betrayal.
The Northlanders didn't deal with the mission further, but everyone knew they were bad luck. The people from the North just don't want to dirty their hands. When they return, the king will naturally send their heads back.
Luke was a little lost, knowing that this time it really made things irreversible. This is not my fault, I just want to save everyone with the smallest sacrifice. Luke tried to convince himself, tried to find some psychological comfort.
Ryan once told him, "Don't be too scared, just admit your behavior, and then wait for the Northlanders to make conditions."
But how can you not be afraid? Who is not afraid? He just hopes that he will never finish the way back.
...
The nobles began to distance themselves from the heads of the mission, and everyone knew they were over. No one thought that Luke would faint. His behavior is somewhat inexplicable. He neither acted in accordance with the rules among the nobles, nor did he deal with the problem in the manner of the Northlanders. Even if he asked Ryan to challenge the Northlanders directly, at least he respected the Northlanders' tradition-respect for the strong. Everything shows that this person has been crushed by fear.
Those who had participated in the round up of Bran among the nobles all confessed their actions, and then paid the corresponding property according to the rules of the nobles. The Northlanders also acquiesced to this rule and accepted compensation.
Now the round up of Bran is well-known, an unexpected result. Everyone is guessing what Bran’s ability is? He didn't even leave a living mouth. Cruel and cruel, this is everyone's evaluation of Bran.
So, what is the purpose of releasing such a person? People's thoughts began to move toward rights, status, etc., and they went in the wrong direction.
Dragon Knight also came this year, with a pair of children. Although they didn't clearly indicate their marriage, they were really too close to Bran. If the two are united, what power does the kingdom have to check and balance them?
The answer is no.
All nobles feel the crisis. They know that their country, the Green Kingdom, is not a big country. Over the years, they deliberately suppressed and excluded Dragon Knight, and Dragon Knight had lost patience with them. Now everyone needs to think about whether they need to re-stand in line.
...
Zoya and her parents sat quietly in the car, and her mother took out the accessories one by one, making gestures on her body, a little bit upset, and finally put them back in Zoya's jewelry box.
"That kid is also really generous, but he is too vicious to be a good match." Her mother Susan sighed.
Zoya's father Niels casually said: "I'll say whether I can come back alive after participating in the trial. Don't think so far."
Zoya said with certainty: "I will definitely be able to come back, I believe him."
Niels also sighed: "Even if we come back, whether we can compete or not is a matter of uncertainty. Now there are more people staring at him."
Zoya didn't quite understand: "Why? Many people were unwilling to approach him at the time."
Niels sighed again: "It's going to be messy."
Susan nodded: "Prepare in advance. Now it's not a fight for son-in-law, but for a shelter."
Zoya was a little unsure, so she looked at her parents back and forth, and then said: "Bran said that the Northlanders have no other meaning."
"It's not whether there are people from the North, but we have to think. Everyone here is probably thinking." His father pointed to the outside of the car. Then he said: "It won't be messy for a short time, but we have to prepare in advance. Although our Riley family also has its own weapons, it became a joke when we went to Dragon Knight and Beidi. So now we must pay attention to their movements. "
Susan continued: "The Northland is better, they shouldn't make big moves, but the dragoons have already started. Now they have invaded the east coast, and there is a trend of gradual expansion. If not for the Northland People’s attitude is probably not just as simple as that of the East Coast."
Niels didn't want to make the atmosphere too depressing, so he changed the subject: "In the beginning, Bran didn't show how good in front of you, did he? Listen to your brother, and the little girl, Irene, was pressed and chopped."
Zoya has always been confident in her girlfriends: "It was Bran who let her. Bran said, civilized people should not be killed."
Her parents glanced at each other. At least her daughter had a good impression of Bran. It seemed that Bran was also good to her daughter. This relationship must be maintained regardless of whether they can marry or not.
Niels teased his daughter: "If our daughter is still satisfied with Bran, then we are ready to dowry."
These words made Zoya blush, raised her hand and lightly hammered her father.
...
Moving away from the North, the accessories Bran gave to the children began to be confiscated by their parents. This made the children a little angry, and from time to time there was a cry of protest.
At first, it was a few thick-skinned people who directly put the ring or the like on their hands. Then this behavior began to spread, and they became more and more comfortable wearing these accessories.
As we moved forward, this behavior began to become a show off. Although Bran’s accessories are not small, they are only given to some children, and when they are evenly distributed to adults, it seems that they are not enough. So the gap began to emerge, the contrast began to emerge, and the heart of comparison began to rise under this stimulus. If you don't wear one or two of these accessories now, you seem to be a little lacking in confidence.
It is indeed lack of confidence, after all, the jewelry Bran sent is definitely not comparable to their shoddy things. Some people have begun to purchase these accessories at high prices, and because of the psychology of comparison, people do not want to sell them in the short term, so the prices have begun to rise steadily, but they are basically in a state of no market. Being able to bring his own children to the Northland to marry, more or less has the corresponding background. It is difficult to impress these people with price.
Now people are turning their attention back to the Northland, considering whether they can order some accessories from the Northland. The price is easy to negotiate, and for the sake of face, a small amount of money is nothing.
