Chapter 1901 The Folin Empire's Thoughts
Bam! The brand doors of the audience hall swung open with a resounding boom. All chatter among the gathered noble group ceased in an instant. "Announcing his royal Majesty, Landon Barn the 2nd!" One of the guards was quick to widen his mouth, making sure everyone knew of Landon's entrance, be they blind or crazy. The group looked at Landon with a mix of curiosity and greed. Truth be told, although many in the UN empires admired and fell to Landon's charms, nobles like them who still belonged to UN empires, didn't know much about Landon.
Looking at the youthful Landon entering the hall, they didn't feel the least bit threatened.
After all, how tough could a person who allowed others walk all over his territory in exchange for protection be?
Yes!
They still had the notion that the many UN empires were the ones protecting Baymard.
They felt it was the most cowardly thing they've ever heard.
Have you no shame?
Standing in the glorious hall, Steward Jacobs held his chin high, not bothering to bow at all.
What a joke!
As the head steward, and one of his majesty Gwen Folin's key representatives, when was the last time he had ever bowed to anyone else other than his Folin Empire's royals?
Even nobles from other territories who visited the Folin empire, would nod in acknowledgement when seeing him.
People called him the mouth of his majesty because when he appeared, it was most likely to dish out the orders of his Majesty Gwen Folin.
Steward Jacobs was indeed highly acknowledged in the Folin empire, as well as within the many neighboring Zohl empires. At 47, he has lived in the limelight for so many years that it just felt natural for him to never bow to anyone other than the Folin top royals.
He never bowed for princesses or even the princes, unless they were the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd prince.
Again, he only bowed to the mothers of these princes, as well as his majesty, and the king-father.
That was it!
Right off the bat, Landon could pinpoint the scrawny fellow among the group was the ring leader among the bunch. The other 2 might be more decorated than he, but the skinny one was definitely the brains in here.
Taking a seat on his golden throne, Landon leaned back in interest.
"Well then gentlemen, I've been told you've been asking for an audience with me for a long time now… Congratulations, your efforts finally paid off."
Sarcasm? They immediately had a stronger distaste for Landon.
Erh-ermmm
Steward Jacobs coughed and everyone else quickly gathered themselves.
"Salutations to you, Baymardian monarch. We come here with gifts and a request we know you will deem agreeable."
"Oh?" Landon chuckled innocently. "For now, let's put a hold on the gifts and go straight to the point."
What is it that they want?
The men looked at each other tactfully, "Ship… We require the ship technology you have at your disposal. And in exchange, we will pay you a special elixir, made by our famous Potion god himself."
"Your majesty Landon, we would be giving you the elixir of eternal youth!"
The 2 men spoke so excitedly that their eyes began twinkling like stars.
Even they felt that this deal was too good for his Majesty Landon. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Are you insane? Do you know how precious the elixir of Youth is?
If they could have even a single drop of the elixir, they would be so happy they could slaughter the entire world for payment.
F**k!
They felt that even the Ship technology here wasn't enough to pay for a single bottle of the elixir. But here they were, offering it up at a loss to this Baymardian monarch.
You have to know that for centuries, they have kept this elixir super secret because of how greedy those pesky Morgs could be. It was said that only a handful of royals knew about the elixir's existence. Understand that even they didn't know about it until the day they departed the waters around Zohl Continent. As per request from his Majesty himself, they only got wind of the matter from Steward Jacobs mouth when they were already out at sea.
Of course, they also had a sample demonstration show to see the true effects of this elixir of youth!
What did they see? They saw Steward Jacobs take out a tiny vial made of wood and stretched animal bladder lining its inner walls. Steward Jacobs then took a plant they were most familiar with, which was dubbed the smiling eater.
It was a flesh eating plant that looked exactly like a sunflower back on earth. Except its petals were super long, nearly touching the ground from its tall stature. Its stalk was as fat as a human thigh, and its head looked like it was lined with uncountable rows of teeth laid out in circular formation.
Of course, the plant they brought was in a state where all its petals were turning brown and aging. But after steward Jacobs dropped 20 drops of this elixir of youth, one of the plant's petals miraculously turned vibrant yellow in under a day!
Shocking!
What did this mean?
It meant the elixir of youth truly works!
If a mere 20 drops can work wonders, just picture the plant's reaction to guzzling down an entire bottle!
Dammit! They felt their bodies twist and churn when knowing 20 drops had been wasted on a mere plant, a flesh eating one at that.
If eyes could kill, that plant would have long died in the blink of an eye. Fortunately, the despicable plant 'accidentally' fell overboard once and that was the end of the matter.
(V^V)
Yes, yes, yes, they were all super excited about the emergence of this elixir of youth. But if Landon had been there at the time, he would have told them to their faces that their so-called Elixir of youth was complete trash!
Well, it wasn't entirely useless. Without knowing it, they have cultivated a special fertilizer that works well on Flesh-eating plants!
