Volume 1 The Past of the Southern Kingdom Chapter 87 Human Spirit
Langyun was relieved to see that Alvin and Aoi had finally come out of the secret door.
After the three of them came out of the storefront, they walked straight to the downtown area.
"Little sister, what do you think?" Alvin glanced at Aoi.
"No matter how you look at it, there's a gimmicky element in it, big brother, this business can't be done. Aoi said solemnly.
Alvin nodded, "That... Why did you want me to pretend to be interested?"
"If you don't give him a reassurance, you won't let him do our bad thing. The little girl said.
Alvin looked at her, thinking to himself that this little girl was really much older than herself in business.
"Ha, speaking of which, I still admire your delicate eyes, big brother, and when Lu Wen looked at it, he definitely thought that we were very interested in Na Luojing. Aoi said with a smile.
"Little sister, you're not bad, I didn't mention other ores later, and I asked him if he could be cheaper, so he had to feel that we really wanted to buy it. Alvin urged.
"No way, this is business," Aoi said, "you can't really tell your face to death." ”
"Yes. Alvin nodded.
"What do you think, big brother?" asked Aoi pointedly.
"What can I think?" Alvin knew that this little girl was also very cunning, "No matter how I think about it, I think that Governor Yuankang will not be so obedient, and he really hasn't touched that falling crystal vein for so many years?"
"I knew that the eldest brother would definitely 'attack' that Junyun girl. Aoi said with a smile, and raised his eyebrows pointingly when he said the word "strategy".
"You have what you say... Look at your expression, how do you look like a teenage girl now?" Alwin laughed angrily, "Besides, Junyun was brought back from the battlefield by Keba at the cost of his life, so how could I step in the way." I'm just interested in falling crystals. ”
"I didn't say that you should pursue her, big brother, I just asked you to ask her if there is any falling crystal in her house, big brother, where do you want to go. Aoi said lightly, "Besides, Her Royal Highness the princess is still there, and you don't have the courage to do it, big brother, right?"
"Hey, you little girl, your face is getting fast enough. Alvin scolded with a laugh.
Langyun watched the two of them bickering back and forth, and felt very interesting.
"Hey, by the way, Langyun, have you ever heard of falling crystals?" Alvin asked, turning his face.
"I just heard His Highness and Miss Kwai Tilt mention this repeatedly, I thought about it for a long time, and I don't know what you are talking about. Langyun said.
"Then let me ask you, has the Governor of Yuankang sent people to the south of the Great Mountain Range to mine any ores?
"Your Highness, you're joking, where the Governor sent people and what mines to dig, where will we, the little people, know. Langyun smiled helplessly.
"Yes. Alvin nodded, "Then let's go back, I think they'll be talking about it too." ”
"Buy something to eat back, I'm going to vomit after eating dry food these days. Aoi leaned at Alvin and grumbled.
When Alvin thought about it, this girl had gone all the way from Situo City to Salyushi and then to Dwaddan, as if she hadn't eaten a good meal.
"Ah, it's really up to me, I didn't have time to entertain you properly when you went to Salyushi, and that... Alas... He said with a smile and a sigh.
On the way from Situo City to Salyuhi, Aoi naturally asked for the details of the battle on the Kaiba Plains, and she knew about Alvin's situation. So the little girl was worried about his safety, and hurried all the way to Salyushi, but she didn't expect to really save his life. After escaping from Saliushi yesterday, Aoi was thinking that his eldest brother would live a life of exile in the future, and she couldn't help but feel sympathy. Now seeing his mocking sighs, she didn't know how to comfort him for a while.
It was because the little girl felt a little guilty at this time, she was thinking that her complaint really hurt her eldest brother's heart.
"Why do you have that expression?" Alvin smirked at her, "Let's go, buy something to eat." ”
The man walked down a street full of food stalls.
Aoi looked at his back, stunned, and followed.
Maybe it's Erwin's pretended free and easy energy that makes Aoi particularly fascinated.
Langyun saw everything in his eyes, and he couldn't help but think, whether it was a bitter smile or a miserable laugh, this Highness Alwyn could always laugh anyway. Sometimes people even can't help but ask, "Can you laugh at this?"
But the answer is yes.
It is pointless to complain about the impermanence of life, and to live with self-deprecation is the response to the suffering in life.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Langyun enthusiastically introduced Alvin and Aoi to the local specialties of Twaddan. Kwai has actually eaten a lot, after all, it is not the first time she has come. Alvin is used to eating good things, and now when he sees these coarsely processed roasted beef and mutton, he doesn't resist, after all, the smell is still very tempting.
"Twadan is a hundred miles north to the Zam Plateau, and our beef and mutton are all transported directly from the plateau, and the taste is naturally much better than those from ordinary pastures. Langyun introduced.
"Paired with fresh cumin and black pepper, it's really good. Alvin had already ordered a coarse beer from the open bar, and was now eating the roasted beef.
Kwai and Langyun also sat down next to him, and the advantage of this open-air seat was that he could watch the barbecue master roast the beef and mutton in front of him.
Erwin finished a plate of roasted beef with a few forks, and the two of them hadn't eaten it yet. He smiled and gestured to the sweaty roast chef, meaning to ask for three more plates.
It can be seen that these three people have really not eaten well for a long time, and they are tired from eating. Even the shopkeeper at the bar glanced at this, and he thought to himself that these three people didn't look like they had come out of the mine.
After a stormy meal, Alvin didn't forget to bring some back to O'Ann to taste, so he asked the master to make a few more plates to take away.
The master thought to himself that he would be busy with these three people for half a night.
When the three of Alwin had eaten and drunk, they returned to the Governor's Palace, and the emergency meeting on Junyun's side was over.
Alvin looked around the main hall and the side hall, but he didn't see any of Orniean's figure. He had to go back to the airboat, only to find her alone on the aft fence looking out into the night.
"You're not the kind of person who can be pulled by others. Alvin walked up to her, glanced at her, and then placed the wooden drawer containing the food on the fence, "I think you also want to hear what Ye Junyun has to say, and I want to see what the officials of Fuz Province think." ”
O'Ann didn't deny it.
"How's it going? Isn't it exactly what you expected?" asked Alwin, seeing that her face was not good.
"What else, what else can they do with their calculations?" said Oneen, looking at him with a smile, "If you really want to stay, you have to listen to them for everything." ”
"Eat something, it tastes good. Alvin brought out the roast beef from the wooden drawer.
"Beef from the Zam Plateau?" Onie Ann glanced at him.
Alvin nodded.
"No wonder it smells so good. Onian picked up the fork of the drawer and ate it herself.
"Have you ever heard of the 'falling crystals'?" Alwyn asked suddenly.
"Huh?" looked at him with a frown before the beef in Ornian could swallow the beef in his mouth.
"Haven't heard of it?"
When Onian swallowed it, she said, "Why? You went out to buy something to eat, and where did you get about it?"
"Looks like you know?" he glanced at her.
"Well," she nodded, looking at him solemnly, "My father has repeatedly told me that thing should not be touched. ”
"Did he say why?"
He only said that it was a source of trouble, and that the king, he should stay away from these sideways. O'Ann said.
Alvin thought to himself, "Isn't Your Majesty still superstitious about those divinations? ”
"Is that all there is to it? he didn't mention the reason why the mining of the fallen crystalline veins was forbidden?" Alwyn asked.
"I only know that once Archbishop Herod once hinted to my father intentionally or unintentionally to mine those falling crystal veins, but I didn't expect to provoke my father's thunderous anger, and since then no one has dared to fight those falling crystal ideas. "By the way, you haven't told me yet, where did you know about falling crystals?"
"Then do you know about the organization 'Luo Dai'?" Alwyn didn't directly return to her question.
"I've heard my teacher mention that it's an underground organization, isn't it?" Ornie Ann was distracted by him and put down the fork in her hand, "What? You've found them?"
"That little girl took me there. Alvin said, looking at her.
"That little girl, I guess the background is not simple. Onian raised her golden eyes and looked back at him.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Is it possible that you don't think so?"
"It's a little strange, looking at her family background, you know that she definitely doesn't come from an ordinary aristocratic family. Alvin said, "But why is a girl of this status running around at such a young age?"
"What is she going to do with the organization that she took you to meet Luo Dai?"
"Originally, we just wanted to buy some rare ores and pour them to the north. ”
"So it seems that those big boxes on the airship are all your net worth?" asked Onian with a smile.
"Yes, my father is very far-sighted, and he sorted out all the family property before he went on the expedition. Alvin teased.
"Seeing that little girl shouting 'Brother Alwin' so closely, she shouldn't let you be fooled, right?"
Alvin was amused by her, "Originally, I was just asking about the price of ores like Gilt Fei Ore, but I didn't expect the elder we talked to to mention the falling crystal. ”
"What do you mean, what kind of Luo Dai organization is asking you to buy, and where do their goods come from?"
"The elder had said that Ressa had always acquiesced in the Orthodox exploitation of the fallen veins in Maine. Alvin said and glanced at her, "Besides, isn't Resa about to hit Fuz, and the falling crystals of Fuz Province will also fall into his hands." ”
"You mean, there are still a lot of deals between the Luo Dai Organization and the Light Orthodox Church?" said Onian as he stared at him.
"He didn't dare say it to the man, I guess so. ”
Onien frowned, "No one has ever known what Ressa and the Light Orthodox Church are doing in that great mountain range, it turns out that they have not only made up the two-legged wyvern, but have also been secretly mining those falling crystals. ”
"Do you say, then, does Herod want to live a few more years, or does Ressa want to live a few more years?" said Alwin, sneering.
"Hindering the passage of time is just one of the uses of falling crystals. ”
"You know that?" Alwyn was a little surprised.
"Although my father didn't mention much, I can ask my teacher. ”
"Did Master Pilo say what the crystals were used for?"
"Then I'm going to ask you, the space-time mage. Oneen turned her head and looked at him with a smile.
"What do you mean?" said Elwin, confused.
"I really don't understand?" said Onian.
"I really don't understand. ”
"I've heard the teacher mention that the craftsmen's approach to the shaping of the falling crystals is too ingenious, and the intention to ingenious is too obvious, not to mention the cost of materials, it will also lead to war. Only those who have truly understood the mysteries of time and space know how to shape those falling ores. ”
"The meaning of falling crystal, when it comes to the time and space mage, the gameplay is different?" Alvin said with a smile.
"I don't understand that. "And then, what did you talk about?"
"Oh, you're talking about this," Alvin said angrily, "that Luo Dai is really dark. The finished ornaments of Luojing will cost 250,000 Looney, half of the deposit will be paid, and the goods will have to be obtained after half a year. ”
"It's really a lion's mouth. "If you don't see anything, you have to pay more than 120,000 Looney to them first." This organization is really used to making a lucrative business. ”
"Have you dealt with this Luo Dai?"
"No, not yet. Onian shook her head, "However, I advise you to have less to deal with these underground organizations, so that you don't know how to die when the time comes." ”
"They did have a bunch of Assassins who were there to help solve problems. ”
"Create some problems for you first, then come forward to help you solve them, and finally let you help them do things?"
"Huh, that's what you think too?" said Alwin, laughing.
"Isn't that just a trick. "Then you haven't made it, what are you going to do next?"
"What do you say?"
"You've been asking all night about falling crystals, you must be very interested in this thing. Oni said clearly, "I guess Yuankang should have saved a lot of fallen crystals in the mansion, do you want to go to Junyun to discuss?"
"Alas, what kind of evil did I do in my last life, and I met such a person like you. Alvin sighed.
"Did that little girl guess?" said Anne Anchi.
"Yes," said Alwin, "it seems that when we get to the north, we will have to find out where this little girl came from." ”
