Chapter 192: The Queen of Thumbs
Surrounded by a group of palace ministers, the queen of Lilliputian came in a car pulled by a luxurious white mouse, and got out of the car, Yang Yi found that the queen of Lilliputian was not the same as he imagined, he thought that the queen of Lilliputian must be in her prime and a beautiful queen, but he didn't expect it to be an old queen with gray hair.
The queen was taller than all her retinue, at least a fingernail-high, which was already a remarkable height, she was dressed in a magnificent gown, with a golden crown, and a scepter as big as a cane in her hand, and although she was gray-haired and extremely small, her delicate countenance showed that she must have been a beauty when she was young.
The queen saw Yang Yi and Princess Sophie's expressions were also very strange, she didn't close her mouth in surprise, and she didn't nervously let the guards be on guard, but smiled knowingly, looking confident, the queen took the ministers and entourage around her to the tower, and after a while, the queen appeared on the platform of the tower, holding the prime minister's iron horn in her hand.
"Hello, my honored guest, I am the queen here, where are you from?"
"We drifted here from the Ottoman Empire and were caught in a storm, so we were the ones who were shipwrecked. ”
When the queen heard Yang Yi talk about the Ottoman Empire, she said leisurely: "Is it the Ottoman Empire? ”
Isn't the queen native, how can she say that she is also from the Ottoman Empire? Is there a story here? Yang Yi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty the Queen, I don't understand the meaning of your words too much,"
"My mother was an ordinary peasant woman in the Ottoman Empire, Lilan County, she had never had children, but she really wanted a small and lovely child. So she went to consult the witch, and she said it would be easy, so she gave her a grain of wheat and told her to plant it in a pot. When this flower bloomed, I was born, but I was small, the size of my thumb......"
Thumbelina...... Yang Yi was stunned, of course he knew the story of Thumbelina, but he didn't expect it to be so outrageous, the reason why Yang Yi thought it was outrageous was because the villain king in Gulliver's Travels was a male king, he wouldn't be mistaken, when he heard that it was a queen, although Yang Yi was a little surprised, he didn't take it seriously, after all, the stories in the fairy tale world don't play cards according to the routine, it's not once or twice.
But Thumbelina became the queen of Lilliputia...... However, it also solved some confusion for Yang Yi, such as why a swallow is enshrined in the temple, because in the story of Thumbelina, it is a swallow who escaped from a miserable life with Thumbelina, brought to a so-called kingdom of flowers, and married the prince of the kingdom of flowers.
What happened next is not difficult to understand, the prince ascended the throne and became the emperor, and after the emperor died, Thumbelina became the queen......
After all, this small island is closed, and it is impossible to come into contact with the normal world, so the system here, the clothes of the villains, the armor of the knights, and some manufacturing are not the same as the normal world, but what Yang Yi sees is a miniature version of the kingdom, except for the small body, it is no different from the normal country outside.
So the people who bring these cultural knowledge, as well as the social system and the building, can only be outsiders, otherwise the people here should not be like this, even if they will develop, they will not develop like the normal kingdom outside, maybe it is a tribe like savages, it is precisely because of the arrival of Thumbelina that the villains have led the villains to today's achievements.
"Your Majesty, it turns out that you are Thumbelina, I have heard your story, speaking of which we are still fellow countrymen, I am the Viscount of Shenlong in the Ottoman Empire, the Kingdom of Saxony, and Locke, we have no choice but to go to your territory, I hope to get your help and go back as soon as possible. ”
"This is why I have come to see you, I am glad to see you, not that my kingdom is not hospitable, but that food is limited, you are so good to eat, I can only help you for a while, I have decreed that every morning all the villages around the royal city must send carnivores for your food, and in addition to a corresponding amount of bread, wine, and other liquor, and this fee must be paid by the treasury, but we will not last long. ”
The Thumb Queen was not polite, and directly expressed her worries, Yang Yi can understand very well, he and Princess Sophie are actually not big-bellied men, but as long as they stay in Lilliputia, they can eat the Thumb Queen in a month, not to mention that Yang Yi doesn't want to stay in this ghost place for too long.
Yang Yi decided to speed up the process, and said to the Queen of Thumb with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, we don't want to burden you either, and we are a little uncomfortable, and we are not used to eating, it will be terrible to fall ill, if we accidentally die in your territory, it will definitely cause a plague in this hot weather, at that time, it will be a disaster for you and me, so we still need your kind care and your selfless help in these days." ”
Yang Yi's words made Princess Sophie frown, and she didn't understand why Yang Yi said that they were sick, and if they died here, there would be a plague, but the Queen of Thumb understood as soon as she heard it, and said to Yang Yi with an iron horn: "Please rest assured, I will not let my subjects use poisonous arrows and poisonous food against you, now please tell me your request." ”
When Princess Sophie heard Queen Thumb's words, she suddenly realized that the reason why Yang Yi said that she was sick was intimidation, because she didn't know when she would be able to leave, and before she left, Yang Yi and Princess Sophie had to eat and drink, and now it was just the first day, and with the strength of Lilliputia, it could still be supplied.
If they stay for a long time, they still have no way to leave, and they can eat the Lilliputian country to eat the famine, will the Thumb Queen keep them at that time? That's why Yang Yi will say that they are a little uncomfortable and sick, as long as they die, then it will be like two Roshan, in the hot summer, once the plague spreads, the Lilliputian Kingdom will be wiped out.
Princess Sophie admired Yang Yi a little, he obviously didn't have any cards in his hand, but he was able to make the other party have scruples in a form that was unfavorable to him, and he really had a set.
Thumbelina from an outsider, the Lilliputian Kingdom was built so prosperous, and she also became a queen, which shows that she is not a stupid white sweet, she is an experienced queen, and instantly understood what Yang Yi meant, Yang Yi smiled and said: "Your Majesty the Queen, I won't tell you, the black ship we are on has a wall lamp in the cabin of the ballroom, as long as we can bring that wall lamp down, the ship should be restored to its original state, and we can leave at that time." ”
Yang Yi can only count on the ghost ship, and the key to the ghost ship is on the wall lamp, as long as the wall lamp is destroyed, no strange things will happen on the ghost ship, the little mermaid will disappear, and the big mermaid will probably leave, after all, the role of the ship is gone, even if it does not disappear, it is not much terrible to deal with a mermaid with no memory and neurosis.
It's much better than staying in this hellish place, in fact, Yang Yi still has a hope, that is, Gulliver's unlucky guy will come soon, and then he and Princess Sophie will take his boat, the question is, when will Greif come? Even if he comes, is his ship good? These have to be considered inside.
Let the villains help to fetch the oil lamp, it is to prepare with both hands, the villains are small, but they can't stand the crowd, maybe they can succeed, even if they can't succeed, he Yang Yi has nothing to lose, anyway, it's not him who takes the risk, not to mention that he also promised the little mermaid to lift the wall lamp on the ghost ship.
It's just a few birds with one stone, of course Yang Yi will offer to let the villains help him go to the ghost ship to find a wall lamp, the Thumb Queen was silent for a long time, and said to Yang Yi: "Your request is not too much, but to do these things, I need to mobilize the people of the kingdom, it takes time, by the way, do you have any other requirements?"
Yang Yi looked at the clothes on his body, as if he was called a flower child, after a soak in the seawater, he was very crispy, and some places had exposed his flesh, Yang Yi said to the Thumb Queen embarrassedly: "Your Majesty the Queen, as nobles, we are very particular about etiquette and politeness, but the tragic encounter makes us have to face you in embarrassment, this is really a matter of decency and politeness for the nobles, if possible, can you help us make two simple clothes?"
The Queen of Thumb smiled and replied, "Yes, you can stay here for a while, there is enough space in the temple for you to sleep, and I have many important things to do." ”
Queen Thumb does have a lot to do, and what seems to be a small thing in the eyes of Yang Yi and Princess Sophie is a big thing in Lilliputian, so Queen Thumb left with the ministers and attendants, but left the prime minister to continue to communicate with Yang Yi and Princess Sophie.
Queen Thumb formed a team of 600 people to serve as Yang Yi and Princess Sophie's messenger, and set up tents on both sides of the temple for the villains to live in. He also ordered three hundred tailors to make two sets of aristocratic clothes for Yang Yi and Princess Sophie, all of which were executed in a timely manner.
Yang Yi and Princess Sophie sat in the square of the temple and watched the little people busy, Princess Sophie sighed and said to Yang Yi: "Who would have imagined that there would be such a Lilliputian country, it's amazing, when I go back, I will definitely send messengers, if the little people are willing, they can go to my garden to settle down, and I will protect them......"
Princess Sophie is simply speechless, but people do have this ability, that is, in front of Yang Yi, it is a little unkind, Yang Yi sneered, and said to Princess Sophie: "My respected princess, protecting Lilliputian is a later story, can you protect me first?"
