A rare magical miracle in the world - Chapter 249
Chapter 249: Chapter 147: Envoy of Yatun (Please Vote for Recommendation)_3
“`
“If in the past, no diplomat became a hero, then let it be me!”
“I will be the first!”
Hailbo raised his head, his forehead bleeding: “I will make my name resound through the world, spread the glory of Yatun Duchy far and wide!”
“If the word ‘envoy’ isn’t grand enough.”
“Then add the three words ‘Hailbo’ to it.”
Hailbo again smashed his head down: “Envoy Hailbo! I beseech Your Majesty to let me be dispatched to other nations!!!”
“…”
Bailuo descended from the throne, walked straight to the boy, and personally helped him up.
Bailuo said nothing encouraging; he just held the boy’s hand: “Yatun, I entrust to you, Hailbo.”
“Yes, I, will not, will not bring disgrace upon You…”
Hailbo’s head spun, ready to faint, yet tears uncontrollably streamed down.
He was merely a lowly slave, a piece of trash that couldn’t even get enough to eat, unwanted refuse.
For a meal, Hailbo still needed to repay the kindness.
But Bailuo had given him food, clothing, a shelter that shielded him from wind and rain, knowledge, everything that made him human.
‘In this life, it is hard to repay this kindness.’
‘I shall use this frail body,’ Hailbo: ‘to serve You with eternal loyalty.’
“Lastly.”
Hailbo said: “Please, Your Majesty, grant me one more thing.”
“Speak.”
“If one day, I unfortunately…”
Hailbo did not continue, he said: “then please pass on my achievements to Ina, and also Silly Tiger.”
“…”
Time and again, the boy was always considering others, which made Bailuo’s heart ache profoundly.
“Alright.”
Bailuo said: “In our Yatun, the merit of diplomacy is no less than that of warfare.”
“Furthermore, I pledge to you here.”
Bailuo said: “Be bold in your actions, speak boldly; whoever dares to harm you is declaring hostility against our Yatun.”
“If they harm a single hair on you, I will exterminate an entire city; if they break a single one of your fingers, I will annihilate an entire nation!!”
“Even if I can’t achieve it today.”
Bailuo swore: “I will, not die! Not rest!”
After leaving the castle, Hailbo touched his forehead, the wound there having been healed by Bailuo long ago.
He reminisced about the feeling of Bailuo’s hand covering his forehead, firm, warm, comforting.
Hailbo thought, if he had a father, would he be just like Bailuo?
“Big Brother Hailbo~”
Outside the castle, Hailbo heard Ina’s voice, he turned at the sound, and saw the girl waving at him.
Ina did not have many friends; she was naturally insecure. Although she had met Miya, Sheila, and others, and got along well with them, she still had a closer bond with Silly Tiger, Hailbo, and Ju Nono.
“What did His Majesty want with you?”
“Haha, of course, I have been entrusted with a great responsibility.”
Hailbo would lie if he said he wasn’t scared, but he still used laughter to dispel the anxiety and fear: “I’ve been promoted, you know? At 13, I’ve become a diplomat, the only one, impressive right?”
The current situation of the Yatun Duchy was such that the population itself was very sparse; an envoy corps was truly extravagant.
Therefore, Hailbo’s apparel was indeed quite poor.
No helping it, Yatun, is truly struggling.
“Really?!”
“That’s amazing!”
Ina felt both envy and happiness for Hailbo: “You must do your best, Big Brother Hailbo, if it’s you, I am sure you’ll do better than anyone else.”
Ina seemed to be unaware of the dangers of her mission.
No, she truly did not care about that.
If Ina truly had no talent for diplomacy, and Bailuo had tasked her with it, she would have gone without a second thought.
Getting chopped to pieces wouldn’t matter!
Ina feared nothing except being unneeded by Bailuo.
“But, Big Brother Hailbo, didn’t you want to become an admiral?”
Ina thought of this, and felt this was the bigger challenge compared to life and death crises.
Think about it, if Bailuo gave Ina a mission that would keep her away from him for a lifetime, she would certainly struggle with the decision.
On one hand, it was about serving Bailuo with loyalty; on the other, it was restraining her own desires.
Had Hailbo truly made such a difficult choice?
“Are you, okay?”
“What could be wrong with me!”
“Don’t worry,” Hailbo revealed a sun-like smile: “I am the most outstanding one of this generation, His Majesty personally said so.”
“Ah?”
Ina was stunned.
Yet, she could not utter a word of dispute.
Because it was a fact, Hailbo was the most impressive of his generation, much more so than her.
Admit it?
Not admitting it wouldn’t do.
“Ah right,” Hailbo said: “I am about to go to Immortal Hawk Duke; do you have any special products you’d like me to take there?”
Being an envoy meant going on missions, but it wasn’t always about being abroad.
Hailbo was an envoy, belonging to those who expanded the diplomatic frontiers.
Those stationed at the embassies, however, belonged to the successors, not much related to Hailbo, and the difficulty of their tasks could hardly compare.
“Just bring yourself back safely.”
“Ho ho, starting with such an unlucky comment, huh?”
“This is reverse psychology,” Ina laughed: “You understand, right? Reverse psychology?”
“Fine then.”
Hailbo laughed: “I’ll take your words of fortune then.”
“Hehe.”
The two were very close; Hailbo had always wished for a sister and a brother, longed for family.
Silly Tiger, a little brother.
Ina, a little sister.
With every mission completed, he earned some merit for them.
Even if something happened to him, they could live a better life in Yatun because of him.
What else could he wish for?
Standing atop the stairs, Hailbo gazed at the distant, dreamlike sea of flowers and the Star Realm: ‘Mother, watch over me, I will surely become the greatest hero of this Immortal Realm!’
