44. Chapter 44
Because Barbad did not have a teleportation array opened by the Northern Alliance, he adopted the method of taking an empty road, one person stepped on a flying sword and flew over, Anle was in the front, and the people in the back were lined up, with maids on the left, guards on the right, and Lian Bailong was carried by a guard......
What a flying sword looks like, I want to know, as long as I don't have a special idea and design** of,The specifications will not be too bad.,The flying sword used by the guards and maids is the universal version.,Lack of personal characteristics.,Edgeworth flying with spell blessings will not fall down because of loss of balance.,But the person who is carried on it feels subtle.,It's not a skateboard.,Even if the skateboard is stepped on it, it's still a test of balance.,There are no guardrails.,There's no safety measures.,The vision is open and unobstructed.,Stepping on a bare flying sword.,Flying to the sky isn't counted.,Flying across a long distance from the Northern Alliance to the territory of Barbad.,Approaching the capital.,The effect of friction with the air in the extreme speed flight is blocked by the spell.,At most, it feels like the wind is a little strong.,It's not hurtful. , but the visual impact is not discounted at all, which is more than sour.
A flying sword, looking down, your legs are going to be scared soft, the flying carpet is relatively big, a little safe, and the speed is not as fast as the flying sword.
At the end of the vast ocean, there is an oasis of yellow sand on the land, and the wind full of the salty and wet smell of the sea is coming.
Below the bird's-eye view, the buildings gather by the sea, forming a city, surrounded by oases, out of which is a vast loess desert, the blue of the ocean, the green of the oasis, and the earthy yellow of the desert, with strong color contrast.
An Le retracted his gaze, turned his head and said, "How about the white dragon, it feels good to fly in the sky, right?"
I'll go, is this kid going to heaven?!
Poor children, what bitterness and hatred, what lying salary and tasting gall, are all frightened by fear of heights. Since I asked to stay in the Northern Alliance, it seems that the gloomy resentment that has been squeezed for many years has been released, and the whole person's painting style has changed greatly, from a gentle and simple beautiful boy to a psychologically dark avenger, like a hedgehog, even my sister has been pierced once, and at this moment it was swept away, revealing the expression that a teenager of this age should have, as if he was about to ascend to heaven.
His face was pale and his eyes were dull, his hands were holding the guard in front of him, his whole body was stiff, he was obviously still alive, but he seemed to be dead, yes, it was the kind of posture that he maintained before death, and he was very suspicious that if he raised his hand and poked it, his body would fall crookedly and fall to the ground.
ββ¦β¦ Young man, are you alright?" An Lekong stood in front of him with the flying sword back, raised his hand and waved.
Lian Bailong didn't speak, his eyes were staring, his eyes were dull, the muscles on his face were very stiff, he didn't move, he didn't even roll his eyes, as if he had been immobilized.
This expression is clearly overly frightened, and the peace of mind is weak, self-examination, maybe it may be about ...... It was too exciting to soar to this speed for the first time Edgeworth, and I thought she was excited about her first flight, but she didn't dare to fly too high, or too fast, and gradually got used to it before she practiced her flying ability, and it was okay to drive Edgeworth's flight speed to the maximum.
Carefully stretched out a finger and poked it, Lian Bailong's body was crooked, and he fell from the flying sword without a sound.
The guards who carried him immediately flew down to pick up people, and at this time, the posture of practicing the white dragon was no longer the one that seemed to have been immobilized, face down, limbs down, and the corpse seemed to be hanging on the flying sword, shaking with the movement of the flying sword.
"Lord Anle, Young Master Bailong has fainted. The guards reported.
ββ¦β¦ I know. An Le wiped a handful of sweat.
Just wanted to say landing, the capital of Barbad was at his feet, and he went directly to a hotel to rest, but Lian Bailong, who should have fainted, woke up, and the posture of face down was really more visually impactful, standing on the flying sword, his eyes were not dazzling, and he could still deceive himself by looking ahead, and hanging on the flying sword was not only more insecure, but it was simply a feeling of falling in the next second.
"Ahhhhhhh......h
Slid off the flying sword.
Slipped down......
The guards had no choice but to rescue him again, this time not hanging on the flying sword, but on his shoulder, promising not to slide down again.
Weightlessness at high altitude, roller coaster or something is simply weak, coupled with the discomfort of human beings to high altitude, Lian Bailong is scared enough, and grabs the guard's head like a frightened little animal, this looks quite like the instinctive action of falling into the water, rushing to tears, losing control of love, and shouting.
"I can't stand it! I can't stand it!"
"Calm down, young ......," An Le tried to appease the fried white dragon.
"Shut up, don't be small!" The white dragon in the fried hair roared, and the tears were simply at the level of a waterfall, what kind of bitter and vengeful avengers, throw them all to Java.
"Don't be rude to Lord Anle!" shouted the guard who carried him.
"You shut up for me, too!I can't adapt to flying so fast~~ I can't do it at all!I thought I was going to die!" Lian Bailong continued to burst into tears, crying hoarsely, holding the guard's head with both hands and refusing to let go, the glaive knife was caught by the guard in his hand, and he grabbed it together when he rescued him.
An Le wiped his sweat, she guessed that he was too frightened, but she didn't expect to cry like this, this is the collapse of the psychological defense.
At this time, shouldn't he land and let him slow down?
"Let's land slowly, control the speed. β
"Yes. The maids and guards replied in unison.
That being said, the descent speed can't always be as fluttering as a piece of paper, and it is still possible to control zhì within the range of not producing a strong sense of weightlessness.
As soon as he landed, the guards put Lian Bailong down, and the young man with undried tears on his face did not stand and stumbled steadily, standing on the ground and down-to-earth, and before he could breathe, he immediately threw himself on the shore of the port with an anxious and uncomfortable face, knelt down and vomited wildly into the sea.
Seeing that he vomited so painfully, vomiting so much, An Le twitched the corners of his mouth, his face was full of helplessness, and he couldn't blame him for his poor health, he could only say that he didn't adapt.
"Vomit...... Vomiting ...... "Lian Bailong's stomach turned over the river and the sea, and he could vomit it out, but he still retched.
It seems that he can't leave for a while, An Le looked left and right, and found something strange, because of its geographical location, Barbad is the world's largest maritime trading country, and has always been very prosperous, but now it looks like the bleak feeling of economic depression, to say why there is such a feeling at a glance, because the port ships are basically berthed, not temporarily docked, but idle anchors with nothing to do, no one in the big ship, small boats are together in twos and threes, and the crew sits on it, smoking cigarettes, and sleepingγ
In a country with maritime trade as an advantage, what other reasons can there be for the economic depression cleared by such a cold port, it will not be the king's brain that seeks a dead end to prohibit maritime trade and close the country.
Peony quickly made a look, and immediately a guard and maid took the order and left quietly.
Because a group of them stepped on the flying sword and fell from the sky, the people who saw it next to them were quite jealous, and subconsciously kept their distance, but there was no excesses in addition to it, and after a few more looks, they found that there was no abnormal behavior, what should be done, and there was a lazy atmosphere, listless.
An Le walked to the place where the boat docked, and three small boats were close to the shore, and in each boat was a fisherman, one was smoking, one was sleeping, and the other was talking to the one who was smoking.
"Excuse me, is it a day off, the port looks deserted. β
The fishermen who smoked were the oldest, perhaps because they were really listless, but in short, they were very calm. "Barbad has been going on for some time, the economy is getting worse day by day, and now even the sea is restricted, and the country's trading ships are no longer sailing. β
"The king is not allowed to go to sea?" An Le wondered, it could not really be the king who issued a ban on maritime trade, it had to be how much water was in his head.
"Fishermen are suddenly restricted from going to sea, and the country's trading ships are not within the scope, and the maritime trade can barely be carried out, but recently because of the movement of the fog group, the country's trading ships can only stop sailing, and the port is deserted. The uncle took a puff of dry tobacco and wistful, "I don't know how long Barbad can last like this...... Alas......"
As if knowing that An Le must ask what the Fog Cluster is, the uncle sighed and explained, "The Fog Regiment is a group of thieves, this city often fogs, this thief group that takes advantage of the fog is called the Fog Regiment, attacking the nobles' mansions and national trade ships, and distributing the looted things to everyone, so many people regard them as heroes." β
"I see. An Le nodded, "The thieves are so arrogant, the king didn't send an army to encircle and suppress them, and they have been so arrogant that they even robbed the country's trade ships, hindering the country's trade." β
"Of course there is, but......" the uncle took a puff of dry smoke, "The fog seems to have learned incredible magic, and ordinary army soldiers are no match at all. Little girl, I see that you are also people who have mastered incredible powers, you should know more about this aspect, the king is almost helpless against this fog, and the army is full of ordinary people. The uncle doesn't have much bad feelings for the fog group, but he can't call it a good feeling, sighing, "Although the fog group is considered by many people to be a righteous thief and a hero, I don't know what will happen in the future." β
"Just because you're a thief now doesn't mean you'll always be a thief. An Le said slowly.
The uncle sighed and said no more, his attitude showed that he was so worried in his heart, the fog was so arrogant that the king couldn't do anything about them, he was an ordinary commoner, so as not to ask for trouble if he was heard by the ears and eyes of the fog.
"Thank you, uncle. "Thank you.
"Nothing. Uncle waved his hand.
The smokers smoking, the sleeping sleeping, the chatting chatting, the lifeless and listless atmosphere permeated the entire port, as if their vitality and vitality had been siphoned off by something, and the economic depression had a great impact.
An Le walked back, Lian Bailong was still kneeling on the shore, no longer vomiting, I don't know why it looks like the whole person is extremely depressed, and life is hopeless.
Furong, the maid under the management of Peony, knelt on one knee beside Lian Bailong, handed out a clean handkerchief embroidered with hibiscus flowers, and Peony held a glass of water in her hand.
"Young Master Bailong, please rinse your mouth. Peony said.
Lian Bailong stiffened for a long time, lowered his head, and didn't dare to take the water cup as if he was looking at people, rinsed his mouth with a mouthful of clean water, and spit it out.
"Young Master Bailong, please wipe your mouth. Fleur said.
Lian Bailong returned the cup to the peony, took the handkerchief and wiped it indiscriminately.
Peony took back the cup, Fleur took back the handkerchief, and quietly walked back behind Peony to stand up, Lian Bailong stiffened, lowered his head, stood up, and was ridiculed by the whole world as depressed and depressed, and the dark clouds covered the top.
"If you're still feeling well, you can rest for a while. An Le said thoughtfully, the boy looks very bad, she won't be reluctant to feel so uncomfortable, she can find a place to sit down and fish or something to pass the time.
ββ¦β¦ No, bothering you, I'm fine. Lian Bailong said dryly.
"Is it really okay?" An Le's face was full of suspicion, he vomited so badly just now, it was as if he was about to spit out bile, and now he didn't look like he was fine.
"I'm much better. β
"Then why do you keep your head down?"
Lian Bailong trembled, slowly raised his head, and the look of depression and despair for the whole life and couldn't bear to look directly fell into An Le's eyes, if there was a hole in the ground, he would probably bury himself without hesitation.
"I just caused you trouble, I was too gaffe. Lian Bailong's forbearance expression was embarrassed and ashamed in capital letters, thinking of the loss of control on the flying sword and crying, I couldn't wait to turn back time.
I wanted to say that it didn't matter, but An Le couldn't help but burst out laughing, damn it, I couldn't hold it back.
"Haha...... It's okay, it's okay, I think it looks much more normal like this, and I always have a gloomy expression of bitterness and hatred, which makes me feel overwhelmed. β
"......" practiced the white dragon's expression, and the moment was like begging for death.
"Since it's all right, let's go to the hotel first. An Le adjusted his feelings, so as not to hurt the young man's glass heart by laughing all the time.
"Your hotel has been booked. Peony said softly.
"Well, that's so reliable, let's go. β
The capital of the Kingdom of Barbad is called Barbad, and the economy is very decadent, depressed and desolate, lacking the bustle of a maritime trade transit point, but it is not so bad that the people are not living in poverty. Along the way, seeing that the currency used by the people in circulation turned out to be the paper money issued by the Huang Empire, An Le remembered that he still had a lot of Huang Empire banknotes on hand that had not been spent, which could come in handy.
"It seems that the way Balbad is now has something to do with the Huang Empire. Lian Bailong suddenly said loudly.
"Because of the paper money of the Huang Empire?"
"If the court lacks credibility, the people will not buy it at all, not to mention the resistance encountered in other countries, King Barbad will definitely not take the initiative to ask for the paper money of the Huang Empire as the currency in circulation, even if you are interested in paper money, you can print it yourself and issue it yourself. Lian Bailong's eyes swept over the banknotes that the roadside vendors were tapping, and his face was dark.
"That's what I thought, too, it's so unnatural. An Le glanced at Lian Bailong.
seemed to understand her eyes, Lian Bailong explained, "Pretend to be interested in academics, always read more academic books." β
"If there is no demon god, academic and swordsmanship include both knowledge and force, the better it is, the more conspicuous it is, but under the brilliance of the demon god, it seems very mediocre. An Le chuckled, if you really want to pretend to be thorough, then pretend to be a gentleman, you are proficient in eating, drinking, and having fun, it is best to see a beautiful woman who can't walk, and brush your reputation into a negative value, the emperor will definitely not look at him more, let alone monitor him day and night. Lian Xiaobailong's character is so serious, and only when he saw him crying and making trouble when he was on the flying sword just now, I was afraid that he couldn't pretend to be so thorough, and crushed the festival into scum and crushed all over the ground, so Lian Hongyan said that he could only pretend to be honest and lower the emperor, and the implication was that the emperor was deceived, and the deception was not thorough enough.
Lian Bailong didn't answer, he didn't want to admit that he might have been saved by Lian Hongde's sons unintentionally.
Walking to the door of an inn, the maid and the guard who had left in advance stood at the door to greet him, An Le stepped on the stairs and glanced at the hall, and suddenly, his eyes froze.
"What's wrong with you?" Lian Bailong looked along An Le's line of sight and saw an uncle dressed strangely.
The face is handsome with peach blossoms, it is a very popular type of the opposite sex, the figure is great, and the pair of clothes worn is not so much ill-fitting, but rather a child's clothes are put on himself, the small vest on the upper body looks pocket-sized, the pants worn on the lower body are similar to underwear, the hip lines are clear, the six-pack abdominal muscles in the abdomen are exposed, and the chest muscles are also exposed, which is really lively.
Lian Bailong didn't know who that strange Shu Huang was, but An Le knew, the corners of his eyes twitched, twitched violently, and after disbelief, he admired the other party's good figure, looked up and down several times, and silently gave a thumbs up in his heart, showing off his figure in broad daylight, the uncle is also a person with ideas, and he is shameless.
The strong gaze attracted the attention of the other party, and he was talking to the boy and girl in front of him, and he couldn't help but raise his eyes to see who had been staring at him, and he was suddenly stunned.
"Ahh
Jafar and Masrul looked up strangely.
"Ahh
"......" Masrul turned his head away and calmly mended, "Nanami's pervert." β
The blue-haired boy is strange to the red-haired girl.
"Huh?" Aladdin wondered, "what's wrong with uncle?"
"I don't know. Morjana looked at the three of them, still puzzled as to why they were reacting.
"That...... This is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!" Sinbad hurriedly explained, trying to eliminate An Le's full face "I didn't expect you to be this kind of King Sindlia" look, "My clothes were stolen by thieves, and it was this little boy who borrowed his own clothes for me to wear!"
"I understand," An Le nodded deeply, "you don't have to explain it to me. β
"I mean it!" Sinbad emphasized, a look of disbelief in his eyes.
The explanation is useless, Jafar's eyes are dead, at this time, you should hurry up and let people change out of this unconventional dress, and ask the leader of the Northern Alliance to take a look, that is, Sindelia will lose face for a while, and take every precaution, but I didn't expect it to be embarrassing, the only thing I am glad about is not to lose this face in front of the envoys of various countries.
"You go on. An Le said, and the hotel attendant immediately walked in front to lead the way.
An Le followed behind the waitress, then the maid to the left and the guard to the right, lined up in two rows to follow. Lian Bailong walked beside An Le, a little behind, and when he passed Sinbad, he looked at it with special disdain, looking at the eyes of the pervert and the scum.
Jafar saw his eyes and gritted his teeth, "Sin!"
Masrul mended again, and said in a flat and unheaving tone, "Nanami's perversion. β
Sinbad raised one hand and hid his face.
"Uncle, who is that? It looks so powerful, there are a lot of beautiful big sisters following behind!" Aladdin asked curiously, and the big sister's eyes lit up.
"That's it...... In short, it's a powerful character, and it's really embarrassing to be seen by her like this. Sinbad sighed.
"Don't you feel ashamed to walk through the streets and alleys in such an unconventional outfit?" Jafar said with his eyebrows raised.
"Well...... Her identity is different, don't you think so too, I always feel that Sindelia has no face......"
"Now that you know, let's quickly change this unspeakable outfit!" Jafar grimaced and raised his hand to push him to leave.
"Then, Aladdin, Morjana, I will invite you to dinner later. Sinbad turned to the two of them.
"Yes uncle!" said Aladdin, happily.
As soon as Lian Bailong entered the room, he said that he wanted to take a good rest, and An Le knew that he was tossed enough, so he nodded in understanding.
There was still a little time before the meal, and if he didn't happen to bump into An Le, Sinbad would probably rush to the palace immediately after changing his clothes to discuss the purpose of this meeting with the current King Barbad.
Sinbad came to visit and got straight to the point.
"With all due respect, is the Alliance Lord also here for the trade of Barbad?"
"Also?"
"King Barbad and I have always had a trade relationship, but soon after the new king succeeded to the throne, the trade suddenly stopped for no reason, and several letters could not solve the problem, so I had to come myself. Seeing that the always prosperous Barbad has become so depressed, and so far removed from the rule of the previous king, if my guess is correct, Balbad's emissaries should not have signed any trade agreements with the Northern Alliance. β
"Then I don't need to say more, luxury goods aside, how effective the production tools of the Northern Alliance are in increasing productivity, King Sindelia has seen with his own eyes, but the Barbad envoy has never let go. For countries that have reached trade agreements, we will also issue purchase orders, one in and one out to achieve a balance, even if the country is financially tight, it does not have to be tightened because of this, it can not only improve domestic productivity, but also make a profit, a win-win situation, no matter how you will not suffer, Barbad's attitude is too strange. β
"I'm afraid there's a big problem in the country, and I have to talk to King Barbad personally. Sinbad nodded, agreeing with An Le's words very much, and said, "I'm going to the palace to see King Barbad next, I don't know what your plans are, leader?"
"I'm not going until King Barbad's wedding takes place. An Le shook his head, "In addition to discussing trade, I am also here to attend the wedding." β
"Wedding?" Sinbad's face was full of surprise, "King Barbad is about to get married?"
"Well, reliable news, I am going to get married in the near future, and the other party is Lian Hongyu, the eighth princess of the Huang Empire. An Le nodded, and then said, "I haven't seen King Barbad, it is said that he is an ugly and short frustration, since you have a relationship with the previous king, then you have seen the prince at that time, and you know which one is succeeding to the throne now, right?"
"......" Sinbad was suspiciously silent, the kind of short, fat and round guy, ugly and short frustration is definitely not a derogatory term, but an apt and realistic description, but there is a suspicion of saying bad things about others, I feel sorry for the first king, "he ......"
"What?"
ββ¦β¦ Did the Alliance Leader get the news from the Huang Empire?" Sinbad tried to change the subject.
"That's right, Hongyu said it herself, because she had never seen King Barbad, and she felt uneasy, and tried to prepare mentally. Marriage is such a matter of a while, how many royal children can marry the person they like, as long as it is King Barbad, it doesn't matter what the other party looks like. β
β¦β¦ That feeling is even more indescribable.
Sinbad sneered, "Uh-huh......"
An Le stared at him.
Seeing her look of not giving up without getting an answer, Sinbad hesitated for a long time, and finally had to give up on herself, this kind of thing can't be hidden at all, even if you know, will the decision of the Huang Empire change...... No, the opinion of the princess who was sent out to marry may not be listened to by the emperor, but the words of the alliance leader will certainly not be ignored. It sounds like she has a friendship with the Eighth Princess, and she came to the wedding...... If the marriage between the Huang Huang Empire and the Barbad Kingdom was a good thing, he couldn't believe that the Huang Empire would really let go of its original style and be honest from now on.
"At that time, the eldest prince was more ...... Strong, less exercise, so that ......"
"Zhuang?" An Le frowned, could he be a strong little man, like a dwarf.
"It's edema......"
An Le stared at Sinbad for a while, "Okay, I understand, needless to say." β
A short, fat, ugly guy doesn't want to make up for what he looks like.
When Sinbad left, An Le immediately ordered, "Paint a portrait of all the sons of King Barbad, and I will see what they look like." β
The guards received the order and immediately went down.
That night, the portrait was delivered to An Le.
At a glance, the eldest prince who has succeeded to the throne is not only strong, Sinbad said it too tactfully, and he is really an ugly dwarf! Damn, is this a genetic mutation or has dwarven blood, what kind of junk food does it eat, it doesn't grow tall, it's round, and his head is one size bigger than ordinary people.
The second prince is also rubbed, with a passable height, thin, and a normal body type, but it is too mediocre, if King Barbad is this person, although it is not very eye-catching, at least he will not have the urge to kill.
And then there is the third prince, oops, it's really a bright feeling, this is Prince Charming, in line with the appearance of the royal family, after all, even if the founding king is an extremely ugly and ugly monster, he will definitely marry a beautiful wife and have a child who is not very ugly, and then the next king will definitely marry a beautiful wife and give birth to a child who is not as ugly as his father...... In this case, it is strange that such a thing as a prince can be born.
It is said that the third prince is not in the palace, so it took a little time to find it.
Then, when An Le was about to sleep, the floor suddenly collapsed, revealing the downstairs room, and the third prince who had only been seen in the portrait was in the downstairs room, sounding like the guy who broke the defense and broke the downstairs wall and the floor of her room.
An Le almost smirked: grab a spare tire for Hongyu!
