Chapter 228 Family Can Come Too
As the lord of Xia Ya, the reason why Ke Lin has been committed to promoting the Principality of Banna to join the Youlan Alliance is very simple, that is, he hopes to strengthen the connection between Xia Ya and the entire Western Continent through Banna.

Regardless of economics or academics, Youlan Alliance is a good communication partner.

However, the only commercial route between Twilight City and the Western Continent had to go through Banner.

Of course his plan is not that simple, but so far it seems to be relatively smooth.

Just after adding the uncertain item of Brighton, Colin is also considering whether to adjust his strategy.

"What do you think?" asked Colin.

Veronica replied: "I think His Majesty will choose the latter in the end. After all, the alliance with Brighton can gain tangible benefits. Even if it is only based on some conditions proposed by the other party, Tulum will not suffer."

"What are Brighton's alliance conditions?" Colin asked again.

"At present, we just talked about the intention, and there is no specific agreement, but there are roughly a few points:
"A more in-depth academic exchange allows us to send more students to prestigious schools such as Cambridge, and opens up the magic department and magic pattern department that have been banned from Tulun;
"Economically expand the market, increase trade, and increase routes;

"Strengthen military cooperation. The main content is that Tulum is obliged to send a fleet to help guard the Braley Strait if necessary."

Between Brighton and the western mainland, there is a strait with an average width of about [-] miles, called the Braley Strait.

Once Brighton breaks away from the Youlan Alliance, if there is a real fight, the battlefield between the two sides will undoubtedly be here.

Veronica sighed: "Our fleet in the Horseshoe Sea is mainly used to defend against Osik. Once His Majesty agrees to form an alliance with Brighton, the pressure on my father will definitely increase."

Colin thought that the biggest task of the Duke of Violet now was to deal with the Osik navy. At the beginning, he led the fleet to confront Osik in the Horseshoe Sea, which eventually led to the death of the Duchess. This is naturally not a good memory for Veronica.

"Actually, I don't think there is any need to be so pessimistic."

Colin thought for a moment and said, "I feel that once an alliance with Brighton is formed, the Blue Alliance may instead pay more attention to the relationship with Tulum."

After hearing this, Veronica stared at him blankly for a while.

Colin touched his face and asked doubtfully, "What's wrong?"

"Your statement is very similar to that of your father."

"The Duke also thinks the same way?"

"Yeah." Veronica nodded.

Ke Lin said: "Actually, it's not difficult to understand. After all, for everyone, the biggest threat still comes from Osik. To be honest, the Federation probably doesn't take Tulun too seriously at all."

Since Colin took a trip to the Western Continent in person, he agrees more and more with what Alan IV said to him back then.

Tulun is really too weak, and it is really a full-scale war. In terms of economy and technology, it cannot be compared with Youlan Alliance or Osik. The scruples, and... the teacher is still alive.

As a result, the Youlan Alliance will focus on Oshick, while for Tulun, it will focus on wooing. The reason why Veronica's trip is so smooth this time is probably because of the increasing threat of Oshick. bigger.

Therefore, after Brighton's independence, the weakened Youlan Alliance may pay more attention to the relationship with Tulun, at least not to rashly destroy the existing relationship.

However, Tulum itself has many problems. The conservatives who are unwilling to accept the New Deal, the tough Duke of Valentina, and the second prince Daniel who is cooperating with the Necromancer, Colin is worried for the king.

"Let your Majesty worry about this." Colin said with a smile, "We should focus on the wedding."

"Yeah." Veronica asked kindly, "We shouldn't meet, but since you're here, can you tell me about the wedding arrangements?"

Ke Lin didn't blush, but smiled confidently: "No, otherwise there will be no surprises."

"Okay." Veronica had no doubts about him, and was honestly waiting for a surprise.

"It's too late today, I'll take you for a walk in Twilight City in a few days," Ke Lin said.

"I can't go out, have you forgotten?" Veronica said with a smile: "Besides, if Lord Sallesbury knows that we meet privately, I'm afraid he will go crazy."

"It's okay, I'll figure out a way." Colin smiled, and left from the magic circle in the closet without disturbing Veronica who had just finished her long journey.

……

In the next two days, several groups of people came to the fort one after another.

Jennifer finally returned to the fort after half a year.

The construction of Qiuyuan City is very important, but the lord's wedding is equally important. After she clearly assigned the following tasks for a period of time, she returned to Twilight City alone.Although the railway between Akihara City and Twilight City has been roughly completed, the "train" has not yet officially passed. This important matter can only be left after the lord's wedding.

After delivering the goods, Roy also stayed in Winter City, but spent most of the time by Jennifer's side.

A few more groups of guests came from the capital, the Magicians Association sent representatives, and His Excellency Harris, who was in the east, also sent a letter of congratulations.

However, what surprised Ke Lin was Eleanor and others who should have stayed at the headquarters of the Youjin Chamber of Commerce.

Colin almost forgot about this female magician who passed the preliminary examination at the same time as him.

……

Inside the study.

"Ma'am, long time no see."

"Yes, Mr. Wayne... My lord, I haven't seen you for more than three years." Eleanor's face was filled with the joy of reunion after a long absence. There were several companions standing behind her, but they were obviously less than the original nine.

"Thank you for coming all the way to my wedding."

"Actually...we're not just here to attend your wedding."

"Oh?" Colin was taken aback.

Eleanor and her five companions looked at each other, and continued: "If you don't mind, we hope to stay in Xia Ya to serve you."

"Stay here?" Colin wondered, "Where's your family?"

The reason why he didn't call Eleanor and the others to Twilight City when Xia Ya was in the most difficult time was because he knew that they all had families in Thunder City. They won't be rejected, but after all, it's too difficult for others. What's more, Eleanor and others are still working for the Youjin Chamber of Commerce in Thunder City. It's just that since Ke Lin left, their work is relatively leisurely.

"The five of us have discussed with our family, and there is no problem." Eleanor said: "Unfortunately, the other four, due to their own special reasons, could not come together, but they still work in the Gold Chamber of Commerce."

"Thank you." Colin suddenly remembered something and said with a smile: "Ms. Eleanor, maybe we have a way to get the best of both worlds."

"The best of both worlds?"

"I'm just making a suggestion. If your family members don't mind, you can come to Xia Ya together." Ke Lin said kindly: "Housing is provided here for free."
