Meanwhile, at the Administrative Headquarters,
John asked Taylor after the duo left, "What do you think about them, Taylor?"
Taylor spoke as he remembered his conversation with the duo, "An opportunity and unknown as well since we don’t know anything about Lemuria . To be more specific they are full of mysteries However, I don’t think there would any problems whether it is in regards to trade, politics or military . However, I only worry about the rivals of the Amon family as they would try to create problems for them and us since our first contact is through them . "
John smiled and nodded as he understood that there will always be some problems, "If it is only that then there shouldn’t be any problem . Trade is always good for the benefit of people . Currently, you will have to deal with the Diplomats of other countries, i . e . Bryndyll, Fire-abyss Kingdom and Aelius . What we need is access to their markets and our recognition as a state . Our recognition is the most important thing currently . "
Taylor nodded as he too understood the importance of recognition, he too was quite determined to fulfill this dream . Taylor remembered a certain thing and then asked about the thing that was bothering him previously, "Milord, Minister Alison and Mist wanted some Longevity pills . "
John thought and spoke immediately, "That won’t be a problem . Take these with you . Minister Alison and Mr . Mist are anyway important men, it’s good that you reminded me about this . "
John meanwhile thought, ’It seems I will have to produce more of these Longevity pills . ’
Taylor nodded and spoke, "Yes, Milord . Meanwhile, Milord, how do we deal about the situation at Winter City and Aurora Island? Currently General Nokhud is captured by Blake, Darius is dead and meanwhile, General Endo is missing . This is quite a delicate situation . "
After thinking a bit, John smiled and spoke, "As far as Bryndyll is concerned, if need, Make them forcibly recognize our statehood in return General Nokhud’s matter can be passed without speaking anything . As far as I know, From the reaction of Minister Anin previously at the Auction, I think they are in quite the need for Elemental Ores so you can use those ores and Mana Refining pills as good chips for gaining other benefits as well . However, recognition is a must . "
John smiled and thought, ’This battle was good for us . This recognition by Bryndyll will certainly piss Aelius off while other states too would recognize us without fearing the wrath of Aelius . ’
Taylor nodded and understood, "I will do my best, Milord . "
John nodded as he headed back to look at Tornwall’s new prototype, "You can go for now . "
Saluting John, Taylor went back and proceeded as planned with John .

Two days later,
Anin was scrambling madly as he received alarming news from Murnet, The internal minister at Bryndyll .
Anin sighed and grumbled as he remembered about Thunder Ore and other items which were presented at the auction, "Those brats have just increased my workload . I said 2 days back as well that we need to stop that operation so that we can have a good trading relationship with Sky but who knows that they already attacked them and got their butts kicked . "
Anin’s subordinate wearing his glasses spoke with a grave tone, "However, it was quite surprising to see their Prowess, Milord, isn’t it?"
Anin furrowed his brows and spoke in an angry tone, "Yes, that Fjord’s certainly knew something and hence he sent a small fleet . I think he knew about the firepower of Lord John and hence the small fleet . It seems he wanted us to clash head-on with that Count . I think he was doing it on behalf of the Royal family so that this can reduce the threats from their northern border (Sky) and Eastern Border (Bryndyll) . "
He smiled and continued, "But this has backfired on him as well since Sky kingdom just revealed their latest State of Art Tech in the previous battle which included those ultra-fast ships . First, we need to prepare for General Nokhud’s release . "
The subordinate reminded, "Milord, Wine King too is coming this time around to settle the problems . "
Anin murmured as he stroked his beard, "It seems the ministers are quite serious this time around . I guess He is here most probably due to those good wines . "
Anin sighed and spoke frustratingly, "I never expected them to have such weapons and ships . I wish Lord John was one of the Lords of our country . We would certainly have treated him well enough . I guess we can only laugh at the idiocy of the Aelius family . Anyway, have you managed to get an appointment with Minister Taylor or Lord John?"
Anin sighed as he remembered all the different things he experienced at the north-frontier city, He sighed and thought, ’I really marvel at the genius of Lord John . I wonder how he managed to gather such a group of people and create so many wonderful things . Those fools at Aelius will be crying in 100 years when the Sky Kingdom develops . I always thought we at Bryndyll are quite best at everything but Lord John has certainly changed my world view . ’
The subordinate nodded his head and spoke, "Yes, I managed to get an appointment with Minister Taylor, this time he will be the one who will handle all the affairs . "
Anin smiled and nodded his head, "Good, I have heard that Lord John is quite a tough negotiator . So it is better that we would only have to deal with Taylor this time around However, We just have to be careful about not breaching their Red lines . Come, lets go . "
Anin subordinate nodded as he prepared to make a memo for the redlines that they shouldn’t breach this time during the negotiations .
Very Soon, Both Anin and his subordinate reached Taylor’s office .
Unlike the previous times, Anin was quite docile this time around,
As he approached Taylor’s office, he sighed and thought, ’I hope General Nokhud’s matter can be resolved amicably . Anyway, I have to convince them that it’s a misunderstanding . "
Taylor assistant lead them in and serious talks started immediately,
After going in circles a few times, Anin came to the main point, "Minister Taylor, I hope we can resolve the matter about General Nokhud and his soldiers . "
Taylor finally smiled and spoke, "This is a very delicate situation, Minister Anin, I hope you understand the consequences of such a battle . Then there is a public opinion that is being shaped by the soldiers and their immediate family members . "
With a serious tone Taylor continued, "From what I heard from Navy Admiral Blake, he said that the invaders were already warned that both Winter City and Aurora Island was under Sky Kingdom . But the reply they got was an immediate rebuke and labeling our soldiers as pirates . How do we quell their anger?"
