Chapter 235
Taylor greeted him with his professional smile and invited him, "Minister Anin, Welcome to our small abode . We hope that you had a fine journey towards North-frontier City . "
Minister Anin nodded as he smiled and spoke, "You guys not having a port is a troublesome thing . We can anyway discuss important matters after me and my men rest . "
Taylor forcefully smiled a bit and spoke, "Of course Milord, We have prepared one of the mansions near the Square as an Embassy for Bryndyll . You can be at ease over there and take your time to rest . I heard that Minister Anin has quite the fondness for alcohol . I wonder if you would be interested in coming with us at Hope for a banquet and taste our best wines?"
Taylor thought as he heard Anin, 'It seems they still haven't accepted Winter City and Aurora as our place of the domain . No worries, when they try to invade and get the results of their misadventure . They will eventually accept it for their interests . '
Anin smiled and thought, 'Good Wines and these backward people? At most these guys would be serving poor malt . Even the Royal family of Aelius doesn't try using their local wine to influence us . Well, this would be a good opportunity to humiliate them and broadening their horizons . '
Anin smiled as he looked at his men and spoke, "Ok, I hope you prepare your best wines or else my men will be blunt when it comes to expressing their opinions, right . I am sure you guys won't be offended . "
Anin's men smiled as they saw their master and nodded .
Taylor smiled as he understood their intentions, "It's Ok . They can express their honest opinions . Let's go . "
Taylor smiled and thought, 'Well, they won't be able to lie in front of Minister Mist and others . '
They soon entered the square,
A lot of people were surprised by the way Anin was treated but they soon understood that he was a Dwarven Diplomat who was sent by King Ludwin .
One of the commoners spoke, "It seems an Ambassador from Bryndyll kingdom is here . "
Greg furrowed his brows as he heard about Minister Anin . "It seems I need to inform others about this new development . "
At Anin's Entourage,
Anin's assistant spoke to Anin as they traveled the North-frontier town, "Lord, this city has a lot of interesting things . That Bicycle has particularly raised interest from our men . Meanwhile, the clothes most of the guys here are wearing are quite well stitched and has a lot of creativity . Even with our production capabilities, we were never able to create such a phenomenon in the clothing field at least . Well, it's good that these guys are bad using their resources by making those artistic buildings . The only Tower that is worth our attention is the Clock Tower . I had heard a lot about this tower . Watching it now has certainly broadened my views . "
Anin nodded proudly and spoke, "Yes, this city surely has a lot of surprises, No wonder, King wants to bring back Tornwall . We believe most of the inventions here are because of Tornwall so it is no wonder that they are able to create so many surprises . Meanwhile, we will try to contact that General Anak . His achievements have raised interests from a lot of people which includes the demons . "
At Hope, Martha had already prepared for a banquet as ordered by Taylor .
Martha was ordering everyone in Hope, "I want all the preparations on time . No one can slack off today . If we have a successful banquet then all of you will be rewarded . Currently, Minister Anin of Bryndyll has arrived here as an ambassador to the Sky Kingdom so it will be a good opportunity to showcase the best delicacies of Sky Kingdom . "
Martha sighed with relief as most of the preparations were done .
She asked her Assistant, "Are Minister Mist and others informed that Minister Anin will be here?"
The Assistant nodded and spoke, "Yes . They too will be arriving here shortly with other ministers . "
"Good . It seems Taylor is well prepared this time around . "
Suddenly a bell rang, which indicated that Taylor was coming with Minister Anin and his men,
Very soon all the parties arrived at the welcoming banquet for Minister Anin .
Mist immediately spoke as he saw Anin, "My my, Minister Anin surely has graced us coming here . I hope you don't mind that artistic scenary here . "
Anin furrowed his brows and thought, 'This Longear is here as well? No wonder there are so many useless crafts over here . It seems they too have some business with Lord John . '
Anin smiled and spoke, "No wonder there are so many useless things over here . Well apart from that clock tower and the Administrative headquarters, no other structure caught my attention . "
Looking at the tense situation, Taylor interrupted and spoke, "Why don't we enjoy the banquet today? You see we have prepared a lot of delicacies today which might interest all of you today . "
Both Mist and Anin nodded and headed for the hall .
Anin whispered to Taylor, "Minister Taylor, I will be blunt . As I was traveling the North-frontier city . It gave us a lot of surprises, we hope to make a deal with you guys regarding those things called bicycles . However, I hope to meet your Lord personally . "
"Well, making a deal is possible . Currently, my lord is very busy as he is making preaprations because of the ongoing war . However, I will try for an appointment . "
Very soon the banquet started,
While Alison was trying the wines, he made a ruckus and spoke loudly, "Why is this cheap wine gracing our tables?"
Anin smiled and thought, 'Hmph even the elves hate their wine . This will be quite a show . '
Anin's assistant came spoke, "Lord, it seems they are slandering one of the wines of Bryndyll . "
Anin furrowed his brows, "Does he not fear us banning the export of our wines? Let's see what is he up to . "
Anin spoke loudly, "Mind your language Minster, Alison . Don't slander our wines without reason . We have the best wines on this continent . Apologize immediately . "
Alison cunningly smiled and asked, "What if you are wrong? I can show you more than 5 types of wines which are better than the ones provided at Bryndyll . "
Anin angrily took out his sword and spoke, "I will bet my famed runic sword as a bet . "
Alison, "Very well, I will bet the Adam Tree wood . "
"No, you will apologize . "
Alison thought and spoke, "Well, My apology is more costly, very well but if you can't accept defeat, then you and your men, can't drink these wines in their whole life . "
Mist smiled and thought, 'Ai, they are already reeled in his trap . They will lose either way . '
Alison smiled and took out a magic contract, "Very well, Lets sign the magic Contract . All of your men will sign, right?"
Anin roared, "Of course they will . "
Very soon all the parties signed the contract .
Taylor sighed and thought, 'I hope to attract his attention in a different way . Well, it is still good . This is at least manageable . '
Alison spoke as he pointed towards a direction where all of the sort wines were lined up, "In front of these wines, the other wines in the world are simply trash . You guys can anway start the tasting . "
After drinking the first wine, a lot of dwarves were surprised but they still contained their excitement as currently, the face of their lord mattered more .
Anin's assistant too had a gloomy face as he tasted the wine, 'No wonder he was provoking us . The concentration in this wine is quite good . That redbeard's family doesn't such mastery in winemaking techniques . '
Very soon Anin too tasted one of the wines, 'How is this possible? Did Tornwall ever have such mastery on wines? No . They might have stolen some techniques, well lets try other wines and then come to a conclusion . "
One after another, all of the wines were tasted, soon of the dwarf can control himself and spoke, "Wonderful, give me one more cup . Pour it, fast . I ain't abandoning my right to buy this wine . These wines are sold in your town, right?"
The maid smiled and spoke, "Yes, Milord, They are sold in North-frontier town . You can buy it anytime . but if you are blacklisted then no distributor will sell it to you . "
As if a dam had been broken, the Other Dwarfs too approached and spoke, "Damn right, I ain't abanding such a good hard wine for my face . Sorry boss, we can't help . " The dwarf apologized to Anin and immediately headed to get the Blood Moon wine and White Snow wine . Only Anin's assistant was controlling his desire .
Anin too wanted to approach but he was red with shame and anger, He thought 'This Longear certainly knew that this would happen and hence this trap . That Manipulative prick'
"What do you say, Anin? Should I apologize? Then you might have to abandon your thoughts on these wines . They are anyway trash, right?"
Anin stomped in anger and left, "Hmph . . . Minister Taylor, we will talk later . "
Taylor sighed and nodded as he led Minister Anin to his mansion .
Alison smiled and spoke, "It seems he has accepted his defeat . "
Mist smiled as he watched Anin leaving in anger, "You were quite nasty . Hahaha . "
Alison spoke, "Well, that shorty is always arrogant whenever he visits Ayananore . This would teach him a good lesson . "
This time Anin's Assistant too didn't hold back and got in the line to get Blood Moon .
While trying food he was quite surprised and spoke, "The food here is good as well . It seems we made a wrong evaluation previously . Well, it's good that lord isn't here or else he would have only got angrier . "
