Chapter 045: Good Wishes for Pretty Bodyguards
"My lord, is this really the right way?"
"There's no mistake, judging by the map, it should be right ahead. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½foβ
"That's what you said when you bypassed here earlier......
"What, have we ever bypassed here?" Wen Dao's face was full of consternation.
"Yes, it's the fifth time. Fili had a black line.
ββ¦β¦ Well, it's actually quite fun to take a walk once in a while, don't you think Fili? As a representative of the lord, it is also part of the task to observe the customs and customs of the dragon lord. Wen Dao defended himself in a cold sweat, and although the Pegasus Knight did not refute, his slightly narrowed eyes clearly revealed doubt.
An hour earlier, Wen Dao had seen the line of dragon language phrases that the court scholar had left by the window frame, which read, "Come to the Wine House of Speedville and get together." Wen Tao inquired with the court attendants passing by, and learned that the Will Wine House was located on the west side of the castle of Ryulbeck, and seemed to be famous for its gathering place of strange people. The zealous court attendant also handed Wendao a map showing the location of the sake house, and Wendao set off with Fili towards the address circled in red on the map.
It's just that I don't know if there is an error in the map itself, or if the sense of direction is disturbed by those colorful buildings full of Liesta local characteristics, Wendao took Fili around the streets outside the city several times, but he didn't see half of the buildings that looked like wine houses.
"No, but then again, the mood in the streets has changed a lot. β
Poked in the back by the Pegasus Knight's gaze, Wendao coughed and forcibly shifted the topic elsewhere.
This was the second time he had wandered the streets of LΓΌbeck City, but compared to the dreary and oppressive atmosphere of the previous time, the streets were overly vibrant. Whether it is the shops selling along the street, or the guys running with carts, they all seem to release all the jubilation that has accumulated for several years, and everyone smiles.
An aunt who passed by with a fruit basket inadvertently met Wen Dao's gaze. The aunt's meaningful gaze moved back and forth between the foreign youth and the pretty bodyguard next to her, and then she took out a red fruit from the fruit basket and stuffed it to Wen Dao, and patted him on the shoulder with an encouraging smile.
"Come on, boy!"
"Oh...... Oh!"
Before Fei Li could stop it, Wen Dao had already taken the fruit in a daze. The aunt's expectant gaze moved to Fili, and the pretty Pegasus Knight instantly blushed and let out a cry of "Wow, ahhh
"What's wrong? Fili, your face is so red?"
"No, nothing, let's go, my lord!"
Without explanation, Fili lowered her head and dragged Wen Dao forward, turning the corner of the street, until the aunt couldn't see it. Fili, who stopped to catch her breath, suddenly noticed that she was still holding Wen Dao's hand, and immediately jumped up like an electric shock.
"Ahh
"It's okay......" Wen Dao gasped and looked at his left hand, which had obvious white marks, wondering how this girl's slender wrist had exerted so much strength. "But why are you running so fast all of a sudden? Is something going on?"
"No! nothing!"
Fili cut off all the gaps in questions with a resolute attitude, and Wen Dao was full of suspicion. The Pegasus Knight, who had received the attention of the dragon envoy, looked to the left in a hurry, and suddenly stretched out his finger as if he had found something.
"Ah, sir, look there! Is that the sake house?"
Looking in the direction pointed by Fili, Wendao saw a stone building with a unique style.
The stone building is divided into two floors, and the most striking feature of the building is the original boiler that is more than one person tall erected outside the east wall. Several tubes of unknown purpose protrude from the boiler and enter the interior of the building, and various metal parts hang from the walls on the exterior of the building. From the brass pipes arranged like organ pipes, to large and small titanium steel wheels, and even two electromagnetic projection gun tracks that have been removed from nowhere, protruding from the wall extremely abruptly. Including the light bulbs that are wrapped around the projectile tracks, the whole building looks like it's a steampunk hip-hop style.
The visual impact of such a surreal building suddenly appearing in the street full of medieval style is incomparable, and Wen Dao was stunned for three minutes before coming back to his senses.
ββ¦β¦ You say it's a sake brewhouse?"
"Does it say 'Will Sake House'?"
Fili pointed to the row of gears and springs between the two projection gun tracks, and said aggrievedly.
Well, you win. Wen Tao silently greeted the court scholars.
Pushing open the door of the tavern, a slightly dimly lit space suddenly comes into view.
Although Fumi-Tao was mentally prepared to calmly take a group photo even if Ultraman appeared, fortunately, the interior decoration of the takaya was not as shocking as the outside. Sake brewery business doesn't seem to be doing very well, with only two tables of customers in the restaurant, except for the owner standing behind the bar.
One table was attended by a few gnomes who looked like children in a hood, while at the other sat men with fists bigger than wine glasses and fierce looks, a sight that looked suspicious. As the two tables of drinkers looked at each other, Fili couldn't help but nervously grip the handle of the gun.
"Yo, Brother Wendao, this way!"
The court scholar, who occupied a round table, waved to Wen Tao at the door.
"It's a nice vibe, isn't it?"
"It's quite unique...... "Wen Dao walked over with Fili, and while sitting down against the round table, he casually put the fruit given by his aunt on the table. The court scholar's surprised gaze fell on the tumbling red fruit on the table, and then looked at Wen Dao and Fei Li with quite wonderful expressions.
"You ...... Is it already ......?"
"No, that's a misunderstanding!"
The court scholar and the Pegasus Knight exchanged conversations over there that Fumi-Tao didn't understand. When he noticed the dragon envoy with a bewildered face, Dai Yang coughed and coughed dryly, and explained to Wen Dao in a voice with a smile.
This fruitful fruit means praying for many sons and grandchildren. β
"Many, many children and grandchildren?"
Forced by harsh circumstances, the birth rate of Lensta has always been quite low. Therefore, for the girls of Liensta, raising as many offspring as possible has become the most important task in the couple's life. This fruit, known as the "Tachiko Fruit", has an effect similar to that of a strong sperm, and is often given to young couples as a blessing by the elders as a blessing for "having many sons and grandchildren" in wedding ceremonies.
"Wait, that is, ......"
In other words, the enthusiastic aunt gave Wen Dao the many fruits she had prepared for her daughter-in-law, and then blessed him and Philip to have more fruits to serve the country!?
Wen Dao, who reacted, looked at Fili with a stunned face, and the Pegasus knight over there was already ashamed to cover his face with his hands, and even the tips of his ears were dyed crimson.
"Isn't that nice? You look like a good match. β
The court scholar made irresponsible remarks, and seemed to take pleasure in appreciating the embarrassment of the young man.
"In, go down and walk around!"
Fili, who couldn't stay any longer, suddenly stood up and rushed out of the wine house in a few steps. The violent movement attracted the attention of the other guests, but thanks to this, Wendao was finally freed from the embarrassment of not knowing what to do.
It is undeniable that Fili is a very attractive girl, but Wen Dao has not yet developed feelings similar to the love between men and women. In fact, Wen Dao doesn't think that he has the capital to fall in love now, no matter how fateful he is, at least he has to wait until he has a firm foothold in his new workplace and no longer wanders.
Taking a deep breath to clean up his mood, Wen Dao shook his head with a wry smile at the guests who were looking at him, indicating that he didn't have to mind. While shaking his head, Wen Dao also looked at them carefully, and when he noticed the gun holsters on the waists of those strong men, a thought suddenly flashed through Wen Dao's mind.
"Speaking of Brother Dai Yang, are they all sao women?"
"He is worthy of being a dragon envoy with a keen eye. Dai Yang raised his glass in salute, confirming Wendao's conjecture. "They're all savas, yes. Those shorter ones are traders from the Harpy Federation, and they are going to trade through the Emerald Dragon Territory to other star fields. The other few were the larger ones who were Toraki's Blacktower mercenaries, presumably hired by the Hobbits. β
The so-called "Suo Po guest" is a visitor from the sea of sampa stars. These visitors are all from advanced interstellar civilizations, and their motivations for visiting can be mixed. There are court scholars who aspire to historical archaeology, and poachers who covet the rare beasts of the ancient Lambel. However, it was the first time for Wendao to see Suo Poke swaggering in Liubek City, and the interstellar civilization and the medieval civilization were intertwined in this form, bringing Wendao a certain cultural impact.
"Actually, in other star fields, this is the norm!"
Dai Yang explained for Wen Dao. After all, there are only a few civilizations that have developed to the interstellar stage in the sea of sampas, and in most cases, the sampa guests have more advanced civilizations than the local residents, but this does not affect their trade exchanges with the local residents. In the diplomatic circle demarcated by the local government, sampas are free to move, and even samas like Dai Yang who have integrated into the local society abound.
On the other hand, it is an extremely rare case that completely seals the border like the Emerald Dragon Collar and does not exchange trade with any forces. These hopy merchants and their Black Tower guards had entered the country without the permission of their lord, and it was legally okay to be called stowaways. This Will Wine House is the old stronghold of the stowaways in Kurumbell.
"The Qurumbelles are rich in flora and fauna, but unlike the Saint-Vano Empire, the Hobbits are in awe of the Dragons. So they won't mess around until the lord nods, and this time they're just here to investigate. Dai Yang assured Wen Dao.
"However, they still didn't get permission after all, right?" Wen Dao pointed out with a frown. Recalling the earnest conversation with Ryuji when he was cruising the sea of stars, Wendao didn't think that Yansui would welcome these hobbits who trespassed into the dragon territory.
"It's no wonder we can't blame it. The court scholar shrugged his shoulders and drew himself into the country of stowaways. "Even if we want to obtain the permission of the Dragon Palace, there is no communication channel at all! Remember what I told you, Brother Wendao, your arrival is the first contact between the Rysta and the Holy Dragon in nearly half a century. β
"Uh......" Wen Dao was speechless.
"So, your opinion is very important. Dai Yang patted Wen Dao's shoulder and picked up the wine glass. "First of all, I respect my brother for the successful crusade against the Viper bandits, and thanks to you, the city of Ulbeck can finally settle down temporarily. But what are your plans for the next step?
"No, it won't. Wen Dao shook his head. "The order I received was only to crusade against the poachers, and now that the crusade has been completed, I should return to the Dragon Palace to die. β
"So fast!?" said the court maestro, astonished. "You'll be back, won't you?"
"I will report the situation of Gulambert to His Highness, and I believe that His Highness will make follow-up arrangements. Speaking of this, Wen Dao groaned. "There seems to be something else in Golumbell besides poachers. The forward base is valuable, and I'd like to ask the Knights of Lensta to take care of it for me. β
That forward base was once a conquering base built by the Empire, and it contained hundreds of millions of pieces of information, which would be of great help in digging out the mastermind behind it and in understanding the current situation of Grumbel. Fumidao even considered making it a base for future activities in Gurumbel, but at this stage he did not have enough manpower to guard the base, so he had to entrust the Knights of Lensta with help.
Of course, this matter has already been approved by Matyuya and others, and the request to the court scholar is only to supplement the political procedure.
"No problem. Now that His Majesty is leading his army on a campaign, I have temporarily given the Order the task of guarding the base with the authority of the Acting State Agent. Dai Yang nodded briskly. "After Your Majesty returns, I will report to Your Majesty again and form an official Dragon Leader Guard to serve the Lord, hoping that Brother Wendao will also be present at that time. β
"Is Your Majesty leading the army on an expedition?" Wen Dao wondered. "No problem, right?"
"Don't worry, it's just routine. The corners of the court scholar's mouth pulled out a helpless wry smile. "Brother, you also know the history of Grumbella, the Empire and the Federation have left a lot of strange things on this planet, which must be dealt with regularly. β
"I am, I see. β
Wen Dao nodded as if he didn't understand, and suddenly felt the force pulling the corners of his clothes from behind him. Wen Dao turned around in surprise, only to see that the few hobbit merchants with the shape of children came to the round table at some point. Looking up at Wen Dao, the hobbits all showed excited and inexplicable expressions.
"Please, may I ask if you are the lord's deputy?
