"Plans can't keep up with changes, I really hope that this trip won't involve the emperor, what should I do now?"

Sixteen Night leaned against the wall and glanced at Nagisa Kasumi who was having fun with Sakura. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Saki didn't realize what was going on, the innocent and cute little girl didn't understand what the bomb meant, and she didn't know why her 'mother' sent those two people away - she was able to realize that it was sent away by her own mother, not voluntarily.

"That's great, Tsuki, now I'm just worried about whether your teammates will come over and mess with this matter, if not, your matter will end well. Nagisa replied lightly.

"Yes? Dior and Yuru are very understandable personalities, they will not meddle in our affairs for the sake of justice and friendship, as long as I don't make any requests to her, she will not meddle in this matter. Even if I called her and asked her to come and help, I'd have to be a million pounds, at least. ”

Sixteen Nights smiled reassuringly. She was sure that Dior and Yuru were going to go directly to Nanjing as she thought, and the reason why they didn't visit the ship with Sixteen Nights and the others was so as not to get involved in any possible emergencies. There is nowhere to escape from the water, and it is impossible to be safe on land, nor can it be safe to be fully armed, the fastest and strongest submarine in the world.

Dio is for security reasons, and with her character, she will not actively participate in any incident unless she has an inseparable relationship with herself. Unfortunately, Sixteen Nights admits that her relationship with Dio has not yet reached the point where they are inseparable. And Yuru will choose to faithfully carry out the order, she has personally buried hundreds of people's lives, and she does not care about the safety of a subordinate at all, even if the center of the incident is Dio, who has saved her.

In a way, they are all unusually 'naïve'. There are no complicated interpersonal relationships, the purpose is clear, and the style of acting is clear at a glance.

But Nagisa was not at ease, after all, the judgment was based on the subjective judgment of Sixteen Nights, not the result of her in-depth understanding.

"At the very least, I have to make sure that there won't be any unexpected interference. ”

"I don't want anyone to interfere either, I'm good enough to do that, you're sure you want to leave here, right, to that remote island country in the east?"

"Anyway, your name came from that remote island nation. ”

It is said to be remote, but in fact it was only a dozen years ago. When the steel behemoth galloped across the oceans and the countries began to vigorously compete for their own initiative, the Ming Empire discovered a 'remote island country' quite close to its own territory. Originally, under the policy of locking down the country, the small country RB, whose name was not even known, was 'blasted open' because of the arrival of the warships of the Ming Empire.

The Ming Empire, Great Britain, the United States and other powers forced it to sign a series of unequal treaties, including trade treaties, and the Soviet Union, which came later, signed the same treaty with the RB.

The RB, which was forcibly pried open of the country, also had a lot of ****, and there were many small-scale armed conflicts in just a few decades, and finally, a series of reforms were completed without anyone paying any attention to this more country. It's a pity that they are not having a good time between the United States, the Soviet Union, and the Ming Kingdom.

In fact, the situation is not neutral, and now in the Cold War between the three countries, the United Nations is not enough to restrain the behemoths standing at the top of the world, but they cannot rashly choose to 'take sides'. The great powers have no choice but to choose the same policy as Britain after the reforms: to remain neutral.

With the development of light industry, many Ming people set up factories and multinational companies in RB, even after the reform, there are still nearly half of the factories and companies handled by Ming people, and most of the armaments purchased by RB are 'cutting-edge equipment' purchased from the United States, and also buy a lot of armament design drawings from the Soviet Union.

Ironically, this small country, which is placed in the middle by the big powers, has become the most peaceful place. No terror/attacks, no border troubles, no tense international environment. Many European countries do not really consider it a country, and many British officials have derided it as the "Hawaii of Asia", like a resort in the Pacific.

So, Sixteen Nights decided to go there.

"To be honest, I don't think you know Japanese. Nagisa raised her head and smiled.

"People in all these countries may not know Japanese, but everyone can speak English or Chinese, just like the United States, which hates Ming the most, has put a Chinese course, and Ming Guo, which has been in a-for-tat confrontation with Britain, has begun to popularize English. ”

Sixteen Nights shrugged, then smiled and said, "To understand your enemies, you must first learn their language." ”

"I'm curious to know how many languages the youkai on Penglai Island can speak. Nagisa looked out the window at the river, as if she had set her sights on the sea.

"Lots of them, Old Chinese, Old English, Old Hipperian, Old Egyptian, maybe Ancient Babylonian? Anyway, they live a long time, and young people like me can only speak modern Chinese and modern English... Maybe I won't even know modern Chinese soon, I don't understand ancient Chinese, but you Ming people like to talk about ancient Chinese and modern Chinese together. ”

"Do you mean poetry or anything like that? Generally speaking, ordinary Ming people don't understand it, rich people like this, and rich people in the past also like this, so, you understand," Zhu Xia thought for a moment and replied, "People who don't have money don't have time to like these things... Well, I mean, the middle class...? So said the guests of the Soviet Union. ”

"Then it's the same as the English Opera?" Sixteen Nights reflected on the state of his 'homeland'.

"I don't think it's the same, at least the poetry is our own. Nagisa shook her head.

"yes, there's some 'The Flying Dutchman' or something, and I'm curious to know where Shakespeare went, you know? That ticket is thirty pounds, that's three taels of silver... Well, it's enough for you to play "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix"?"

"At the current exchange rate, it is 3.274 taels to be exact, and the pound continues to fall. By the way, that opera is called "The Wandering Dutchman", a German opera. In addition, as long as I don't want to, don't think I'll move a finger for 10,000 taels. ”

"What about 100,000 taels?" Sixteen Night glanced at her with a smile

"You can buy me away. Nagisa smiled lightly.

————

Yuru and Dior, who were shuttling between the alleys, were stopped.

It wasn't any member of the Ming Empire who stopped them, but when Dio saw that face, he immediately protected Yuru behind him, put his hand on the butt of his gun, and prepared for battle. The person who stopped her was not someone she had met many times, but that person, she knew very well.

With red hair tied in funny braids, the stubble on his face looks like it hasn't been trimmed for a month and looks messy, and the unchanged dark brown trench coat also looks like he hasn't been gifted for more than a month, and his sloppy image almost makes people think he's a tramp.

"It's a pleasure to see you again, can I call you Dior? "The red-haired traveler clasped his fists and saluted, and it seemed that he was doing a good job of following the local customs.

"Dio Connor, I'm not glad to see you again, I don't even know your name," Dio exhaled, then looked at him sharply, "Tell me what you mean, or else..."

"Sean, my name. Don't be in a hurry, Dior, I'm here to show you the way, the way to Wonderland. ”

The red-haired traveler patted his coat and patted a lot of dust, and it looked like he wasn't doing well.

"Do you take a boat on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month in the fishing village by the SH Sea?" Dior didn't trust this guy, "I've heard a lot of legends about you. ”

"To be precise, it's a legend of 'us', Dior, I'm not the only red-haired traveler, by the way, how can the authenticity of that kind of gossip be useful? ”

"Jin Yu Suo, isn't that—" Dio was startled, it was the Qinglou that Sixteen Nights had gone to before.

"That's right, there are a lot of people there, so it's not surprising that anyone appears, and I hope you can enjoy it. ”

After speaking, the red-haired traveler named Sean nodded and walked to the other end of the alley, the two of them communicated in Chinese from beginning to end, Yuru didn't understand, she asked curiously:

"Do you know each other?"

"Sort of, it's my 'senior', and the handover ceremony was six years ago. Dio's eyes narrowed.

The purpose of this trip is already halfway there, but before going to the 'fairyland', you have to send Yuru to Nanjing.
