Vol 3. Chapter 4: The Impact of a Gift
The effect of presenting strategic supplies was dramatic.
Not only was the gift itself impactful, but the surrounding circumstances left Tiariada Elemes, the chief ambassador of the Forest Kingdom of Levresta, visibly shocked.
First, there was the striking resemblance between Dreissig and Zwanzig. It was explained that they were not twins but rather part of a similar lineage. Whether Tiariada fully understood this explanation was unclear.
Well, in reality, they might as well be twins.
Then there was the fact that Zwanzig singlehandedly unloaded all the cargo. When a maid attempted to lift one of the items Zwanzig had removed from the carriage, she almost threw out her back.
Ultimately, Tiariada attempted to ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) summon porters, only for Zwanzig to carry the items to their designated locations herself.
Incidentally, Zwanzig was wearing a reinforced assist suit, enabling her to exert more than five times the strength of an average adult male.
Furthermore, the trade sample gifts prepared for the occasion drew varied reactions.
While Tiariada was impressed by the refined salt and granulated sugar, she didn’t seem particularly surprised—likely because similar products were already known.
However, the metal products were another matter entirely. The swords and decorative metalwork included as samples were scrutinized intently, almost as though they were objects of disbelief.
Rather than admiring the designs or craftsmanship, Tiariada appeared far more intrigued by the materials themselves. This unexpected reaction has prompted Ringo to schedule further analysis.
The sample of preserved water drew significant interest. The concept of storing water appeared to be particularly appealing.
