Chapter 268: A Night of Celebration
"Ha~" Lie stretched out his arms, stretched his body, and yawned comfortably. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Lie sat up, picked up the silver pocket watch and looked at it, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.
According to zero, the Admiral needed to rest more, so Lie had to stay in bed for a while. After taking a nap for a long time, Lie felt that his whole body was full of strength, and he had nowhere to vent, so he had to stretch his legs and move his arms on the bed.
"You look good, Liejun. A voice came from Lie's side, and when he fixed his eyes, it was Mo Lian! Not only Mo Lian, but Suigu was also here, covering his mouth and chuckling...
Could it be that they saw the scene just now?Ah, because the soul network did not detect the malice towards them, so they did not raise the alarm, and Lie forgot to observe the surroundings first when he woke up.
"Hmm, it's a shame~" Lie thought so in his heart, it was also more comfortable at this time, and Lie would occasionally relax. But it's nothing, Mo Lian and Hoya are not enemies... Wait, they're sleeping, aren't they? What are they doing?
Lie's face was a little red, and Hoya saw it, and hurriedly took the potion left by Zero from the table next to him, and said, "What's the matter, impostor, are you uncomfortable again?"
"No, no..."Lie waved his hand, and then asked suspiciously, "What are you?"
"Isn't Liejun resting?" Mo Lian picked up and said in an indescribable tone, "We're going to... Put the Liejun... Awaken. ”
“…”
What are you looking forward to?
Ahem, Hoya told Lie that they had gone out to eat together before, and now they did come to find Lie. When he first came in, Lie happened to wake up.
"Impostor, when are you leaving Beiquan?" Hoya asked, coming over this time to ask about the next plan of action. Even if you spend a few days here in North Springs, you still have to go.
Besides, the past few days have already caused a lot of trouble in North Spring City, and it is not good to continue to stay. As for theft, Beiquan, which has experienced many turmoil, has a fairly high level of security at this time.
Walking in general has not been affected, but some important areas are difficult to get in and out of.
Therefore, Mo Lian and Suigu came to find Lie and planned for their future actions.
Lie also had the heart to discuss his future actions, so he got out of bed and washed up in the bathroom next to him. Fortunately, Lie was wearing pajamas, and nothing happened to go naked.
When Ryu returned to the house after doing that, Hoya had already spread out a relatively large chart on the floor with markers. Mo Lian was sitting on the side, holding black tea in her hand... If that's right, that's what Hoya did.
"Lazy~" Lie thought so in his heart, and when he came to squat next to the chart, he naturally took the black tea handed over by Suigu... If this is called laziness, under the care of Zero Them, Lie has long been lazy, to the point where he doesn't feel that he is doing the same thing.
Getting back to the point, Mo Lian saw Lie come out, stood up too, and squatted to the side of the chart.
"This is where we are now. Hoya pointed to a triangular marker and said, "North Spring, this is also the largest city in the vicinity, one of the cores of the border area." ”
"Of course, the sea area of Beizhou is very vast, and Beiquan is actually still on the edge. "Suiya has lived in the waters of Beizhou for a long time, and he is very familiar with this, and it is very easy to introduce it at this time.
Although Mo Lian squatted aside, her eyes fell on Lie's body, and Suigu didn't listen to much. For Mo Lian, the waters of Beizhou are extremely familiar, and they don't need nautical charts to tell all directions.
The one who needs these the most is actually Lie, who is listening attentively to Suigu's introduction at this time, and doesn't notice anything else. For Lie, his knowledge of the waters of Beizhou was limited to the information he had collected before, and most of that information was from the big road.
At this time, I heard Hotani's detailed explanation of each area, and I felt like I took out a small notebook and wrote it down. Of course, you don't really need to take out a small notebook, the Lie's Soul Network has already written these down, and it is very clear.
“… Leaving North Springs, there are roughly three routes to choose from. Hotani's tone was not fast, because he had to give enough information to make a judgment, so he thought slowly.
"The first and second routes, along the border from Beiquan, can reach other seas, passing through some border core cities like Beiquan City on the way..."
"The third, in fact, this route is divided into many small routes, the main area is to... The core of the Beizhou Sea, the city of Beizhou goes. ”
"That's it. Lie nodded, and didn't interject when Suigu introduced him, but when he was introduced here, he suddenly said loudly: "Are you going to Beizhou City?"
"This?" Hoya turned and looked at Mo Lian... Mo Lian seemed to have just woken up from her imagination, "Huh?", and only after reacting did she say, "Beizhou City? I haven't been there for a long time, and I miss it." ”
"Hmm. Seeing that Lord Molian said this, Hoya also nodded, and the route was settled... However, it is also possible to reach Beizhou City, and there are still several different small routes in between.
For example, from North Springs, the two closest cities are North Harbor Base and Crohn Island. As the name suggests, the North Port Base was originally just a deep-sea base, but later it prospered, and a city under its protection appeared nearby, although not as large as North Springs, but also much larger than the town.
As for Crohn Island, it has been around for a long time, and although it is not as prosperous as North Springs, that island is very large, far more than the island where North Springs is located.
"We..."
Lie, Suigu, and Mo Lian were discussing when footsteps came from outside. Lie didn't turn around, he already sensed that it was his own ship, Zero.
Because he was worried about the Admiral's physical condition, Zero came back early, and Xi and the others were still playing outside. The weather is very good today, it's only three o'clock, and it's very early.
"Admiral. Zero came behind the Admiral, and then saluted to Suiya and Molian: "Suiya-sama, Molian-sama." ”
After doing this, Zero stayed by the Admiral's side and did not speak again. Rye noticed that Zero was coming, so he told her what she was doing and told her to keep a note.
"Yes. Zero nodded, then set his eyes on the charts... Obviously, this is much more detailed than a zero-owned chart.
Time passed little by little, and everyone who went out to play came back one after another. By about five o'clock in the afternoon, most of the ship's mother and the deep sea had returned. The joy of shopping for a long time, everyone shared it together, went to a certain café, a certain boutique, a certain amusement park, etc., it was very lively.
Lie's side has already discussed the next plan of action, and after resting in Beiquan for a few days, he will go along the route of the Beigang base. In fact, Mo Lian originally wanted to go to Crohn Island, after all, it was more convenient to hide there.
Other than that, it didn't make much of a difference to Merlian, as neither of the islands had the items she wanted. However, when Lie knew the next location of the North Harbor base, the route was decided.
"Admiral, Lord Hotani, Lord Molian. "One ship after another and the deep sea came back, they all came to the Admiral first, and by the way, they gave the Admiral small items with them.
Like delicious xiaolongbao, fun little toys, and so on, they are all favorite items of the ship's mother and the deep sea. Naturally, it is because good things are to be shared with everyone, and they are very happy.
Seeing that everyone was so happy, Lie breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he had been in a state of battle, and he hadn't let everyone relax and go shopping for a long time.
It was getting late, and in the blink of an eye it was already seven o'clock in the evening, and the sky was almost dark. Most of the shipwives and the deep sea have returned, and occasionally there are a few playful girls who know it's time to go home when they see the night coming.
Before they knew it, Lie came to the door, and they were ready for dinner, and they were about to have a happy party tonight.
"Well, let's go back... Uh-huh, the Admiral loved it..."
Lie smiled and asked Sakura and his party, who had just come back, to return to the house, and at the same time, it turned out that the little things Sakura and the others bought for themselves were really children with hearts.
When Sakura and his party went in with a smile, Lie turned around and found that Katyusha had returned. If Lie remembers correctly, Katyusha went out this time mainly to contact her Admiral... So, got in touch?
In the face of Lord Lie's inquiry, a trace of dazedness flashed in Katyusha's eyes, and it disappeared in an instant. After saluting first, Katyusha nodded and said in a somewhat surprised tone, "A clue has been found... I sent a message to the Admiral through a special channel, and if I can receive it, I will be able to contact the Admiral of Katyusha soon!"
"yes, that's great. Lie staggered a little, let Katyusha in, and said to her at the same time, "Zero and they are all waiting for you, go quickly." ”
"Hmm. Katyusha lowered her head and said, "Lord Lie, Katyusha will go first." ”
Although the days in summer are long, if it gets dark, it will be a matter of a while, and Lie feels that it is only a few blinks and it will be dark. I could hear the laughter and laughter in the courtyard, and dinner had been served, just waiting for it to start.
"Admiral. "Zero came out of it and called out to the Admiral to eat... If the Admiral doesn't come over, he probably won't be able to start.
"Hmm. Lie nodded, then glanced into the distance... There were also a few naughty children who didn't come back, which made Lie a little worried.
"Admiral, go over first, Zero is waiting here. Zero didn't need to look at the Admiral's expression to know the Admiral's current mood, so he took the initiative to mention it.
"Uh... All right. Lie knew that it would be difficult for him to get started if he didn't pass, so he said to Zero, "They may have been playing for a while, but they should be back soon... After all, it's rare to come here, and it's okay to play more, so don't scold..."
"Don't worry, Admiral. Zero said that she understood, and as a member of the fleet, she was also very worried. But as the admiral's secretary ship, she can't show it, and she wants to give the admiral a sense of reassurance.
“… Gujin, Haijin, Blowing Snow, Silly Hair..."Zero said softly, leaving only the four of them elementary school students who did not come back, and did not know where to play.
However, with a forged ID on his body and in the city, he probably won't have an accident, right?
Lie shook his head, put his distractions away, and walked quickly to the courtyard. At this time, everyone gathered, and Emilina, Hotani, and Molian, who were the admirals, were here, as well as their deep seas.
In addition, the fierce ship girl and the deep sea people gathered happily in the courtyard at this time, and the surroundings were already full of delicious food and all kinds of drinks. In the afternoon, Mamiya went to several snack bars and made several new foods based on the characteristics of the place.
Sitting on the main seat, Lena, Hotani, and Molian are divided into left and right... At this time, the moon rises overhead, and the moonlight shines down, which is very beautiful.
Tonight's party has begun! Wood is piled up in the middle, and when the atmosphere is right, it will be lit, and everyone will talk and laugh, and it will be very lively.
Lena came to Lie with a flask and poured a full bottle of wine for Lie... Since she came out of Dongzhou City, Lie has rarely seen her. Of course, during this time, Lena lived with everyone, and it was also very pleasant.
All of this, naturally, thanks to Lord Lie... Or rather, brother.
After pouring her wine, Lena asked with some concern, "There will be fireworks later... Won't it be too conspicuous?"
"Don't worry. Lie took the wine that Lena poured and drank it all in one gulp, very happy. In response to Lena's concern, Lie shook his head and signaled that she didn't have to worry.
Indeed, it is quite ostentatious, and if fireworks are set off on a large scale, it will definitely attract a lot of attention. Being in the enemy's territory, being too arrogant means fighting... Lie is naturally not afraid of fighting, but at this time, everyone is about to have a happy party, how can they pay attention to those trivial things?
So, Lie instructed the raiders to place a large number of fireworks on a street a little farther away and move the roof of the five-story building. As the opening performance of the party, the fireworks display officially begins!
With the fluctuation of the Soul Network, those fireworks were ignited, and everyone got the news in advance, and they all raised their heads in anticipation.
Woo~, first a meteor from the bottom up streaked across the sky, and then exploded. Although ordinary, it is a signal, and a large number of fireworks are blooming with it!
"Meteor, make a wish!" When a large wave of meteor-shaped fireworks rose into the sky, many deep seas and ship mothers closed their eyes. According to the innocence of legend, making a wish when a meteor descends has a great chance of coming true.
Of course, as for whether the meteors made by fireworks are useful or not, it is not clear, but it is probably okay.
Anyway, it's fun... Lie picked up the fifth or sixth glass of wine that had been poured and drank it very happily. The fireworks are gorgeous, but they disappear after they bloom, and the next step is to start other projects.
Several deep-sea girls took the initiative to invite Ying, and came to the middle to bring a dance to everyone... Speaking of dancing, how can there be no accompaniment? Lie's soul network spreads out, accompaniment needs to be changed, although she usually uses the piano a lot, but she is proficient in various musical instruments.
The reason why she uses the piano more is probably related to her Admiral's preference to listen to piano music.
"Admiral. Zero sensed the Admiral's soul network and responded that he would go over immediately. It's just that after the soul network of Waiting for Lie to retreat, Zero looked into the distance with a sad face.
The party for the evening has already begun, and the fireworks have gone on ... Anyway, it's time for Gujin and the others to come back, right? What's going on?
Zero closed his eyes, prayed silently, and then told Xi to come and wait.
