Chapter 021: My Highness Didn't Intentionally Be Absent
The fierce giant ship that fell from the sky caused widespread panic in the city of Leubek, and the terrible waves caused by the crash of the giant ship on the mirror lake caused many buildings around the lake to suffer. It can be said that the pen "Fun" www.biquge.info Pavilion was extremely lucky that there were no dead and wounded, but the people of LΓΌbeck, who had suffered great losses in both property and spirit, because they could not find an outlet, turned their anger at the Lensta royal family.
Hundreds of people crowded in front of the royal city early in the morning to protest and inquire, and the questioning mixed with anger and panic made the palace attendants in charge of the reception anxious, but at this time, a certain court scholar who was supposed to be present to preside over the overall situation was not in the royal city. Alone in ignorance and helplessness, the court attendants, who were almost overwhelmed by the people's questioning, finally threw out the answer that "that ship was the vanguard of the evil invaders, and was shot down by my heroic Pegasus Knights" before suffocating, which is 108,000 miles away from the truth.
"Evil invaders, where did such a thing come from!?"
"Well, Master Bachelor is on his way to investigate, and he should come to a conclusion soon. β
"Hey, did it really go down? It's still on the shore!"
"The Knights have sealed off the surrounding area, so please keep your distance to avoid danger. β
"Ah, Lord Holy Dragon, please bless us from calamity!"
Although the answer was far from the truth, thanks to the efforts of the court attendants to shed blood and tears, the chaos that spread in the city of Leubek was finally able to end a little. At the same time, a certain bloodless and tearless court scholar who had left the aftermath to his subordinates was looking with interest at the stranded transport ship ahead on the hillock on the shore of the lake where he could overlook the royal city.
"Oh, it looks like it's going well!"
Looking from the hillock, the bow hatch of the transport ship had been opened, and a team of guards rushed in and out of the open door, transporting a hibernation cargo box and the rare beast Pegasus imprisoned in it. The cargo compartment was stacked by the lake, and the heavy knight with an axe was instructed to split the hibernation devices outside the cargo box one by one.
The beasts were slowly regaining their body temperature in the sun, but they had just woken up from forced hibernation, and the doctors urgently summoned from all over the royal city were carefully checking the condition of the beasts and helping them recover as soon as possible. There are several Pegasi horses in good condition, who have flapped their wings and flapped their wings and soared into the blue sky. Hearing the neighing of the Pegasus, the people of Liansta all showed happy expressions and cast heartfelt and grateful glances towards the hill.
Unlike the horrified populace who listened to the squire's ramblings, most of them knew that the Venerable Dragon's envoy had intercepted the poachers' ships and sent the white beasts back to the land of Grumbel.
"Truly saved. The surface ecology of the Ice Age was quite fragile, and if these species continued to decline, the planet's ecosystem would begin to collapse from the top. Dai Yang, the court scholar of Liansta, lit the cigarette in his hand and thanked the envoy of the virtuous dragon next to him.
ββ¦β¦ Do you know very well?" Wen Dao frowned.
"Well, after all, natural naturalism was a topic that I did when I was a graduate student...... But then again, it's actually the St. Nova Empire's Maitin-class, even among poachers, it's quite extravagant equipment, right?" Dai Yang looked at the transport ship with emotion.
Even the transport ship could be recognized? Wen Dao's expression was even more shocked.
"I'll tell you the truth, when I used to travel without money, I bought interstellar tickets, and I often hitchhiked in the cargo hold to other star fields......" Dai Yang brought the cigarette butt to his mouth and took a sharp puff, showing a warm expression of reminiscing about the past. "The Metting's cargo ship is very poorly sealed, and even when I hide in the cargo hold in a spacesuit, I often lose consciousness from the cold, and I was rescued in the regeneration capsule several times, so I remember it very well. β
β¦β¦ It's a shame that you're alive until now, uncle.
Wen Dao listened to the black lines all over his head, and out of prudence, he still confirmed it with himself.
"Uncle, aren't you from Grumbella?"
"The dragon envoy is clear, I am a 'sampa guest'. Dai Yang replied bluntly.
"What's that?"
Wen Dao's expression and tone were full of doubt, but Dai Yang's surprise was even greater than his.
"Hey, as a retainer of Long Xian's family, don't you even know about 'Suo Po Ke'?"
"Well, in fact, it didn't take long for me to be hired as a retainer of Longxian......" Wen Dao was embarrassed to say something like "not a few days", and asked for a little literary embellishment on his background. "Besides, interstellar travel isn't popular in our hometown, so some of the concepts aren't very clear. β
ββ¦β¦ It seems that the situation of the dragon envoy is quite complicated. Dai Yang cast a sympathetic look at Wen Dao and patted him on the shoulder like comfort. "Forget it, I'm not very good at dealing with dignitaries...... In that case, why don't we all talk to each other casually, man?"
"It's best to be able to do that. Wen Dao also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. This scumbag scholar named Dai Yang is very similar to a certain uncle and predecessor who took care of people in his former workplace, and compared to those Liansta people who respectfully regarded him as a dragon envoy, Dai Yang's attitude can make him more relaxed.
In fact, it can be taken literally. To the natives of the planet of Kurumbel, we are 'visitors from the sea of the stars of Suva', or simply so. Dai Yang looked at the sky and explained to Wen Dao.
Dai Yang explained a little to Wen Dao. There are trillions of life stars in the Milky Way, and the degree of development of different star fields varies greatly, some star fields have become the center of a vast interstellar empire across the galaxy, and some star fields are slowly evolving on the edge of the galaxy. Such a gap is very easy to cause the barbaric encroachment of advanced civilizations on the original civilization, so the Galactic Law also attaches great importance to the protection of the original civilization. However, in any case, for those planetary natives who have not yet set foot in the Star Sea, visitors from the Sampa Star Sea are often highly uncertain existences.
"Of course, I have permission. β
In order to clarify his position, Dai Yang specially showed Wen Dao an archaeological permit. Issued by the Galactic Alliance, the permit holder sets foot in the protected star field for archaeological purposes and has shallow contact with the indigenous peoples without interfering with the progress of civilization.
According to Dai Yang, he came to investigate the early civilization of Gulambel, and was hired by the Lensta royal family as a court scholar during his contact with the aborigines. Even since he served as a court scholar, Dai Yang has been in Gulambel Star for more than five years, and he can be said to be more familiar with the situation here than most locals.
"I see......"
Wen Dao nodded appreciatively. For him, who had just set foot in the Suo Po Sea and had not yet adapted to his status as a retainer, it was really a very lucky thing for Gu Lanbel to have a senior like Dai Yang who was familiar with the affairs of the astral realm. Not intending to waste this luck, Wen Dao immediately asked a question.
"Uncle, are those poachers also sloppy guests?"
"No, they're not savakes. A bitter look appeared on Dai Yang's face. "In fact, those who hunt wild beasts everywhere are the local outlaws of Liansta. β
According to Dai Yang, the Pegasi inhabit the depths of the Mura Forest, and the only people who can find them or even capture them are the Listans who know the details. The mastermind behind the scenes from the sea of the stars of Suva instigated the outlaws of Liesta to hunt the local beasts on a large scale, and then buy prey from them for a small profit.
In order to help those lawbreakers fight against the knights who banned poaching, the people behind the scenes even brought them armed warships and other military equipment. Acquire arms and equip outlaws to advance to an armed organization that rivals the Knights. In addition to hunting rare beasts more aggressively, it is also creating a series of chaos throughout Liansta.
The chaos weakened the Order's ability to suppress poaching, and in turn undermined the prestige of the Liensta royal family. Relying on such dirty methods, the mastermind behind the scenes did not need to get their hands dirty, and obtained a large number of precious resources that could be sold on the interstellar black market. According to Dai Yang's private investigation, such behind-the-scenes transactions began at least five years ago......
"You mean, it started five years ago?"
Wen Dao was taken aback and looked at the court scholar in astonishment.
"Haven't you thought of asking the lord for help?"
"Well, the Holy Dragon barely came up to the ground...... "Dai Yang let out a heavy sigh and hesitated for a few seconds before speaking again. "I'll be honest with you, Brother Wendao, your arrival is the first contact between the Lensta and the Holy Dragon in nearly half a century. β
Wen Tao couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. Although he had known that the dragons were not interested in managing the earthly world, it was an exaggeration to be absent to such an extent as a lord...... As a retainer of the new family of the Longxian family, strictly speaking, Wen Dao actually didn't have much self-consciousness, but even so, when he heard the representatives of the lords expressing their opinions about the lord's absence in a very tactful manner, a hot feeling still rose from his cheeks.
"Uh-huh! Actually, not only did His Highness just return to the Dragon Territory a few days ago, but I am afraid that he didn't know that things had become so troublesome. "Wen Dao did his best to maintain the image of the lord. "But rest assured, I am here to resolve this matter, and I am personally authorized by His Highness. β
"Oh oh, then please brother!" Dai Yang cast an earnest look at Wen Dao as if he was about to applaud.
"If there's anything you need us to do, please feel free to ask. β
"I want to go see the situation first...... If you can, please send me a guide. β
"No problem, I'll arrange for a reliable person to act as a guide for my brother. Dai Yang nodded quickly. "Originally, it stands to reason that I should be accompanied by myself, but before His Majesty went out to fight, he entrusted me to guard the royal city, and I couldn't pull away for a while. Besides, I don't have much combat power, and if I go, I will probably only be able to hold back. β
Uncle, you're really honest...... Wen Dao heard a drop of cold sweat.
"Don't worry, General Majuya is the strongest man in the Lensta Knights after Your Majesty. Not only have he fought against poachers several times, but he is also very familiar with the geography of the Mura Forest. With her as your guide, I don't think there will be any upset. β
ββ¦β¦ Sounds like a good idea, huh?"
The small Kingdom of Lensta is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, second only to His Majesty's powerhouse, how powerful must it be? Is it more fierce than the female man who axes and splits the spaceship? Just when Wen Tao vaguely felt that something was wrong, the court scholar suddenly looked up at the air and made a gesture with his hand to block the sun.
