Chapter 421: Medusa Mission!
This was the first time Shen Lang touched Queen Medusa.
It's cold, even ice-like.
"Why is this happening?" asked Shen Lang.
Queen Medusa said, "Because this body is too weak." ”
Is this body still weak? It was almost the strongest Shen Lang had ever seen.
"Of course, your demon is already strong. Queen Medusa said: "But human beings are different from us in all aspects, we can live for a long, long time, and you humans are only a hundred years at most." We are exchanging energy with nature, the sun, and the world all the time. As long as we are awake and alive, even every minute and every second of beauty consumes a huge amount of energy. ”
Shen Lang understood.
This is probably like a car, the entire engine system of the Bugatti Veyron has been modified and installed in a car from the beginning of the 20th century, so that even if it can be driven, it can be driven very fast, and it can reach two or three hundred kilometers per hour.
But every time you drive for a maximum of half an hour, you have to stop, and then carry out major maintenance, otherwise the whole car will be scrapped.
So most of the time, the car can only be parked in the garage, and the more times it is driven, the car will fall apart.
The body of the demon is already strong, but it is still not enough for Queen Medusa.
So she has been sleeping most of the time in the past few years, otherwise even if she is awake and still, she will consume a lot of energy and overdraw the vitality of this body.
The same is true for the little baby, and because she is so small, her body is even more fragile.
"In fact, if I want to live, I have to go into a complete sleep, so that my body's energy expenditure can be reduced to the maximum," Queen Medusa said, "but I always need to wake up." ”
Yes, she has to come to her senses every time, because there are so many people who need her protection.
Shen Lang said: "Actually, these people have nothing to do with you, and it is the responsibility of Qiu You'er to protect them." ”
Queen Medusa said, "But now that the demon and I are one, that is my responsibility." ”
Qiu You'er wants to be a complete chivalrous man, and wants to walk in all directions, chic and uninhibited.
But people can't have absolute freedom, and when she was in Raging Tide City, she was stumped by Qiu Tianwei's nurturing grace, and now she is stumped by the people he protects.
She's so loving.
Queen Medusa smiled and said, "Your Excellency Shen Lang, before you came to Queen City, did you want to see Qiu You'er or Medusa?"
Shen Lang was silent for a long time and said, "Hatred demon." ”
This is what he really said, although Queen Medusa is more beautiful and powerful, she looks too perfect, too distant, too unreal.
And Qiu You'er is full of strong personality, even if it has been several years, Shen Lang can't forget it.
Queen Medusa smiled: "Don't worry, before I die, I will return the demon to you." ”
Shen Lang said: "What about her now?"
Queen Medusa said, "She can see, she can hear, she can feel." But we have lost control of our bodies, not because I am too domineering, but because we are too powerful in terms of pure soul power. ”
Shen Lang said: "So at least the person I'm talking to now is the complete Queen Medusa." ”
Queen Medusa said, "Yes, when I'm going to die, I'll be a complete demon." ”
Shen Lang said: "Did you take away the revenge demon?"
Medusa shook her head and said, "No, on the contrary, it was the demon who forcibly broke into my world and forcibly woke me up. ”
It sounds fantastical and incomprehensible. But Shen Lang thought of himself, his soul was from the earth, but his body was the Shen Lang of this world.
Medusa said, "Do you mind if I lie down and talk to you? ”
Shen Lang helped Queen Medusa to lie down.
"But you see, I can't die, I can't die to protect me, I can't die to protect many innocent people, so most of the time I'm asleep. Queen Medusa said, "Now I've finally waited for you." ”
Shen Lang said: "With all due respect, this new world belongs to the Xilun Dynasty. Both you and I are outsiders. So we can't protect the city-states of the Witch Empire, or even Duke Hall. My purpose is to return to the Great Yan Empire for revenge, and I am not interested in everything in the Western world. ”
Queen Medusa said: "I know that when I die, I will not be able to protect the Queen City, nor the city-states of the Witch Empire, nor the countless freed slaves. The East belongs to the East, and the West to the West. ”
That's true, and Duke Debos has always said that.
Queen Medusa said: "You are the emperor of the East, I am even more of an outsider, we can't be the emperor of the New World, but there is one person who can." ”
Shen Lang said: "Who?"
Queen Medusa said, "How do you feel about the builders of this queen city?"
Shen Lang said: "The empress of the Second Empire of Xilun, she is a genius, an absolute artistic genius, but she has been dead for hundreds of years. ”
Queen Medusa said, "Yes, but she also has a great-great-great-granddaughter, who is qualified to inherit the throne of the Xilun Dynasty." ”
Shen Lang said: "So what? She has nothing to do with us, and I have no interest in the battle for the throne of the Xilun Dynasty." ”
Queen Medusa said, "What if she is your half-sister?"
"Ah...... Uh......"
Shen Lang suddenly fell into a speechlessness.
Queen Medusa said, "I'm just guessing, you should have read part of the history of the Xilun Dynasty. After Empress Helen ascended the throne, she was opposed by the northern nobles, so she moved the capital south and built the queen city, and it was from that time that the southern part of the Xilun Dynasty was vigorously developed. At that time, in order to develop the southern part of the empire, Empress Helen announced the abolition of slavery on a large scale, freed countless slaves in the south, and even promoted many aborigines of the Vida tribe to become officials of the Xilun Empire. ”
Shen Lang really didn't know anything about this, and he didn't see it in all the history books of the Xilun Dynasty. However, this is also normal, although Empress Helen is recognized by everyone, and no one rebelled during her reign, most of the nobles of the Xilun Dynasty are secretly opposing her policies.
Therefore, the seeds were planted for the demise of the Second Empire of Xilun, that is, the period of Empress Helen.
She did everything right, but she divided the whole empire between the north and the south.
"After the death of Empress Helen of the Second Empire of Xilun, his son inherited the throne and returned to the imperial capital of Xilun. Empress Helen's daughter remained in the Queen City and became the Prince of the Empire. ”
Shen Lang said: "In other words, the daughter and granddaughter of Empress Helen who really ruled the Queen City in the past dynasties?"
Queen Medusa said, "Yes, the Hall family has been the loyal governor of Queen Helen for generations. ”
Shen Lang said: "You continue. ”
Queen Medusa said: "Forty years ago, the ruler of Queen City was the great-granddaughter of Empress Helen, Prince Shelley, she was the most talented woman in the entire Xilun Dynasty at that time, known as the Pearl of Xilun, with supreme wisdom, until she was in her thirties, she did not marry, so that countless nobles of the Xilun Dynasty were sad. But suddenly for a while she disappeared, and by the time she reappeared, she had already given birth to a daughter named Helen, the same name as his great-grandmother, Queen Helen. ”
Shen Lang said: "You mean, this Princess Helen was born to His Majesty Jiang Li and Prince Shelley?"
Queen Medusa said: "The royal palace of the queen city is an absolutely female palace, especially the royal palace mausoleum, even the husband of the female prince cannot enter. However, there is a lot of evidence of the existence of His Majesty Jiang Li, so there is reason to suspect that His Majesty Jiang Li has stayed here for a long time. And after this princess Helen was born, she seemed to be a mixed race with oriental characteristics. ”
Shen Lang said: "She has Oriental blood, if she wants to become the empress of the Third Reich of Xilun, it must be impossible, right?"
Queen Medusa said, "The whole south will support him, especially the indigenous people of the Vida tribe will support him." The Xilun Dynasty is now divided, and what is needed is an empress who can accommodate all races, and her mixed blood can become a symbol in this regard, a symbol of the Xilun Dynasty's open-mindedness and the coexistence of all races. ”
Shen Lang said: "What about this Princess Helen?"
Queen Medusa said: "She is a crazy adventurer, she left Queen City when she was only sixteen years old, and has not returned until now, it has been seventeen years. ”
Shen Lang said: "If she is still alive, she Chinese New Year's Eve three years old today?"
Queen Medusa said: "If she appears, the entire south of the Xilun Dynasty will have a real allegiance." And once she can become the empress of the Third Reich, she will undoubtedly be your absolute ally, because the two of you are likely to be siblings. ”
........................
"Okay, let's not talk about this princess Helen of the Xilun Dynasty for the time being. Shen Lang said: "Your Majesty, how long do you have left?"
Queen Medusa said: "If you stay in the underground mausoleum of the royal palace and spend most of your time sleeping, then there is still a year. ”
A year?
"Please rest assured, when I am going to die, I will not drag the demon to die with me, I will return her to you. ”
Shen Lang said: "In other words, within this year's time, you can't leave the Queen City, or even leave the palace mausoleum for half a step?"
Queen Medusa said, "Yes, you can't leave. ”
Shen Lang said: "After that year, what about you?"
Queen Medusa said: "Before I die, I will not only return the demon to you. I will also give everything I have left, and at the cost of my life, I may be able to prolong her life for a few years. It's up to you next, my mother has done my best, and the responsibility of protecting you will be handed over to you, my father. ”
Then she looked at Shen Lang and said, "Actually, if I commit suicide now, I can return the demon to you." ”
Shen Lang shook his head.
Queen Medusa can't die now, and if she does, Queen City will fall and there will be no one to protect her.
Because now Shen Lang, as a father, is not strong enough.
Queen Medusa said: "Your Excellency Shen Lang, so your time is very tight, within a year you will become strong, you must have the ability to protect the family, and you must have the ability to protect everyone." Now the eyes of the entire Third Reich are on me, on the Queen City, and as long as I live, the city will not fall. This is the golden time for your development, and your worst enemy, Duke Debos, is also held back by me, and I have no time to pay attention to your existence. ”
Shen Lang said: "How many people can I take with me?"
Queen Medusa said: "In this battle with Duke Russell, our army suffered heavy casualties, and I was asleep most of the time, so a certain number of troops are needed to defend the queen city, so you can take up to two thousand people." ”
"Enough, enough. Shen Lang said: "I want to take away five hundred Roland Knights, one thousand Black Pearl Pirate Legions, and five hundred Eastern Knights." ”
The queen said, "Yes." ”
Shen Lang said: "Your Majesty, I still need a group of people full of wisdom. ”
Queen Medusa said, "I have captured hundreds of scholars and apprentices of the Heavenly End of the Sea Pavilion, and they are very smart. ”
Shen Lang said: "Tianya Pavilion is my enemy, are they loyal enough?"
Queen Medusa said: "It's not enough, especially the older bachelors, the imprint given to them by the Tianya Pavilion is too deep, but some of the younger apprentices should be able to transform, they may not be so wise, and they don't have so much knowledge, but at least they are not completely brainwashed by the Tianya Pavilion." ”
In fact, for Shen Lang, a group of wise men is the most important.
Because next, Shen Lang wants to invent new things on a large scale, and wants to cultivate talents from scratch, so he doesn't know the Year of the Monkey. Of course, it is also possible to directly capture alchemists of a large scale, but their loyalty is questionable.
Those who are not of my race will have different hearts.
..................
Shen Lang found Zhang Chunhua.
"Chunhua, I'm leaving. Shen Lang said.
Zhang Chunhua was stunned and said, "So fast?"
Shen Lang said: "The situation is more urgent than I imagined. ”
Then he asked, "Will you come with me?"
Zhang Chunhua said: "Come with you, leave Her Majesty?"
Shen Lang said: "Yes." ”
Zhang Chunhua said: "Why am I going with you?
Shen Lang said: "Become my think tank and become my female manager." ”
Zhang Chunhua fell into hesitation.
Shen Lang did not say that the queen only had one year to live, nor did he say that the queen had pinned her hopes on him Shen Lang.
"Shen Lang, will you kill back the Great Yan Empire, right?" asked Zhang Chunhua.
Shen Lang said: "Yes." ”
"Then I'll follow you. Zhang Chunhua said: "But I said it in advance, I'm not just a plaything to accompany you to bed." ”
Shen Lang said: "You just wait until you are so tired that you vomit blood." ”
Zhang Chunhua said: "Do you vomit up and down together?"
Belch?
Shen Lang said: "Miss Zhang Chunhua, you are the daughter of Duke Chong, and you are the daughter of my Eastern Dynasty scholar." In overseas countries, your words and deeds represent the face of the nation and the country, so please pay attention to your conversation and image. The key is that standing in front of you may be one of the three great human emperors of the world, you have to be decent. Besides, your words are not precise enough, you should spit up and down. ”
Zhang Chunhua said: "I've been running around too much in the past few years, I hope I still have blood to spare." ”
No, I can't stand it, this talented woman is too dirty.
"Zhang Chunhua, are these Tianya Pavilion Masters who were captured with you trustworthy?" asked Shen Lang.
"It's not worth it. Zhang Chunhua said: "Even if they go to the ends of the earth, they are still loyal to the end of the earth in their minds." ”
Shen Lang said: "I need to use some smart people, and then we will work together on all kinds of new weapons, killer-level weapons." I need a team that I can definitely trust, how many can you pick for me?"
Zhang Chunhua said: "There is no one who is absolutely trustworthy, unless the value you give them exceeds the honor given to them by the Tianya Sea Pavilion." Only young apprentices have room for transformation, and I can find you thirty or forty such people. ”
At that time, Queen Medusa captured hundreds of people, but Shen Lang was only able to take so many people.
The key is that they have been running for many years, tens of thousands of miles away from the Eastern World, and the brainwashing skills of Tianya Haige are really strong.
..................
The baby is very happy.
Because at this time, her parents were by her side, and she was mostly asleep since she was a child, and even when she woke up, her mother was not around.
Shen Lang hugged her soft little body and told her fairy tales.
He listened very carefully, as if he wanted to engrave every word in his head.
After telling the story, he was a little tired.
She had to sleep, or she would hurt herself, she was so vulnerable.
Shen Lang hugged her a little harder, she was really her father's Snow White.
"It's a toy that Daddy made for you, and of course it's so easy for us little ones. Shen Lang said softly.
Then, he put a toy in his hand.
This is a third-order Rubik's Cube, made by Shen Lang overnight, a very special Rubik's Cube.
There are a total of six noodles, the first is Dad Shen Lang, the second is Mother Medusa, the third is the baby, the fourth is Shen Mi baby, the fifth is Shen Ye baby, and the sixth is Shen Li baby.
Shen Lang painted very carefully, and the portraits on each side were vivid.
After the Rubik's Cube is completely disrupted, these people's faces are all messed up, and they need to be reassembled to restore their integrity.
"Baby, try it. Shen Lang said.
He took the Rubik's Cube and glanced at the completely disrupted Rubik's Cube for a moment.
Then, she began to twist the Rubik's Cube.
After only half a minute, the Rubik's Cube was fully restored, and all six sides were put together.
Shen Lang was amazed again, is this my daughter? Baby, you are much smarter than your father.
She wasn't told any formulas, nor any formulas, but the little girl would have taken a look.
This can't be described as genius.
"Our baby is so smart, the smartest and most beautiful little princess in the world. Shen Lang gave a thumbs up and said, "When my younger brothers and sisters see me in the future, I don't know how much they will worship." ”
The little baby was a little proud and a little shy, hidden in her father's arms, and her big eyes were filled with incomparably happy light, as sweet as honey.
"Baby, will Dad come and pick you up again within a year?" Shen Lang said softly: "At that time, Mi Mi and Dad will not be separated, okay?"
The little baby stared at Shen Lang with wide eyes, she didn't cry, but nodded seriously.
She is physically fragile, but her will is strong.
Shen Lang hugged her into his arms again, holding back tears.
"Baby, what Dad promised you must be done, and within a year Dad will climb in front of you even if he climbs. ”
"I, Shen Lang, should have failed many people, but I definitely lived up to my baby. ”
Shen Lang swore over and over again in his heart, and then said softly: "Okay, baby sleep." ”
He closed his eyes obediently, and soon fell asleep sweetly, and his little hand was still holding the Rubik's Cube and was reluctant to let go.
Shen Lang hugged her until midnight, and finally reluctantly put her on the bed.
"Baby, Daddy is gone, but will be back soon to pick up the baby. ”
Walked out of the dust-free room.
"Anyone who is strong will have a time to melt. Queen Medusa said, "So humanity is so vulnerable. ”
Shen Lang said: "This is the human taste." ”
Queen Medusa said, "I've become vulnerable, too. ”
Then, she said to Shen Lang: "Then goodbye, future human emperor." When you come back, I'll give you back the demon. ”
With that, Queen Medusa turned away and walked into the underground mausoleum of the palace.
Shen Lang felt his heart collapse a little bit again.
Could this be the last time we see Queen Medusa's back?
Can only one of the demon and Queen Medusa exist in the world?
........................
An hour later!
Shen Lang left the Queen City and took two thousand people to take advantage of the night and headed towards the sea to the east.
It took two full days for 2,000 people to reach the beach.
The sea was so remote and full of reefs that the fleets of the Third Reich rarely patrolled here.
After three hours of waiting.
Four pirate ships have appeared in this dangerous sea.
The boat is an absolute master and is able to avoid all the reefs.
Shen Lang's 2,000 men silently boarded the four pirate ships, and then cautiously sailed out of the sea, three hundred miles to the east, then south, and finally west in the direction of Saltpeter Island.
From beginning to end, Shen Lang did not speak, and there were no grandiose words.
Leave Queen City silently, board four ships, and sail into the unknown.
Maybe not far away.
For Shen Lang, the place he was going to was closer to the Great Yan Empire.
Shen Lang stood on the deck and looked at the vast sea.
A man stood beside him, silently and silently.
Black Pearl, the leader of the pirate group, she actually came with Shen Lang?
"I was a member of the Skull and Bones Pirate Band, and I was very young when they left. Black Pearl said, "Our Skull Party pirate band once roamed the world, and everyone lurked under our blades, whether it was a duke or a prince, begging us for protection. ”
"There's not a day I don't want to find them, find my parents, find my skeleton party. Her Majesty promised me that even if she couldn't help me find the Skull Party, someone would help me find it. And then you showed up, can you find the Skull Party?"
Black Pearl looked at Shen Lang and asked.
Shen Lang said: "As long as they are alive, I can find them." ”
Black Pearl said, "Then I will serve you." ”
..................
"We are the ones who have been abandoned by the kingdom of the Amazon Queen, we are a disgrace, and we are fighting desperately to tell the Amazon Queen that whether a person is strong or not is not only her body, but also her will. ”
There were five hundred Roland Knights who followed Shen Lang to open up the new city, led by Meng Luolan.
Meng is the first name and Roland is the surname. She is also a powerful female display, second only to Violet.
"Queen Medusa saved our whole race, so we will obey any orders she makes. Meng Luolan said: "No matter where you let us go or who we are going to fight, we will not flinch, we have only one request for you." ”
Shen Lang said: "Please speak." ”
"If we die, please scatter our ashes on the waters of the Amazon Queen's Realm," said Monroland. We cannot return to our kingdom in life, nor can we enter in death, but at least we can be closer to our ancestors. ”
Shen Lang looked at the tall woman, and then nodded seriously.
And he was very sad, because the Roland family was not strong enough, so they were exiled by the Amazon Queen Kingdom, which brought unprecedented trauma to their hearts.
During the battle against Duke Russell in Queen City, Shen Lang found that the Knights of Roland were so brave that they were almost full of the feeling of martyrs, not only did they not fear death, but they seemed to be pursuing death.
It seems that only by dying on the battlefield can they prove that they are Amazonian female warriors and live up to the glory of their ancestors.
..................
A handsome middle-aged man stood in front of Shen Lang, he was Lan Feng, the leader of the Eastern Knights.
"Do you have a brother named Landau?" asked Shen Lang.
Lan Feng was stunned and said, "Yes, but I fell out with him." ”
Shen Lang didn't ask him why he and Landau fell out, but it must be because of the difference in philosophy.
Shen Lang said: "Grand Master Landau is my friend. ”
Lan Feng said: "He has confidants all over the world, Shen Gongzi should not be deceived by his enthusiasm, maybe he has countless close friends like you." ”
Lan Feng's words were full of mockery, he should have left the Great Yan Empire a long time ago, so he thought that Lan Dao was the great grandmaster who was famous all over the world.
Shen Lang smiled and didn't explain.
Lan Feng said: "There is one thing I must make clear to Shen Gongzi, our Eastern Warrior Regiment escaped from the Great Yan Dynasty very early, and our identity is not visible, we are...... Jiang Li's remnants, once we use us, we will completely offend the entire Great Yan Empire, are you sure you still want to use us, do you dare to use us?"
And so it was!
After Jiang Li's violent death, many people died, and some escaped, and a small number of them fled overseas. Lan Feng's Eastern Warrior Regiment is all the army of the Great Qian Empire.
Shen Lang shrugged his shoulders and said, "General Lan Feng, you're too late, I've completely offended the Great Yan Empire to death." ”
General Lan Feng said: "That's okay, then I will follow Shen Gongzi for the rest of my life." Queen Medusa saved our lives, and her will is our direction. ”
..................
Shen Lang stood on the deck and looked at the four ships.
This was his seed, and after half a year in the Western world, he finally had an army of his own.
Although the number is very small, only two thousand, it is very elite, and it belongs completely to him Shen Lang alone.
Of course, this is still obtained by eating soft rice, but soft rice is also a kind of strength, right?
Black Pearl, Meng Luolan, Lan Feng, and Zhang Chunhua are his four descendants in the Western world.
It's worth it!
In the Western world, he traveled tens of thousands of miles, traveled for half a year, and got these two thousand people, which is worth it!
The most difficult thing to build a house is the foundation, once the foundation is laid, the next high-rise building is just around the corner.
I'm going to build my own city.
I'm going to start developing gunpowder, developing artillery.
..................
Shen Lang's fleet went all the way to the east, all the way to the east.
Along the way, they still encountered the fleet of the Third Reich in Xilun, as well as countless grain ships.
But Shen Lang's fleet is flying the flag of pirates, so it is completely well water and does not interfere with river water.
On the 10,000-mile sea route, although there were some troubles along the way, all of them were thrilling, and Black Pearl easily coped with them.
It turns out that the pirate law on the sea is so easy to use, except for perverts like Qiu You'er, basically there are few direct fights, and they are mainly negotiations.
And hell, I met a lot of merchant ships along the way, and while they avoided it, they sent gold coins according to the rules, saying that you don't come to plunder me.
When encountering a larger group of pirates, there will be no war, and the two sides communicate with each other in the language of flags, and the black pearl said that we are just passing by, and we have no intention of encroaching on your sea power.
Shen Lang couldn't help but sigh, with the fragmentation of the Xilun Dynasty, this sea area is simply a paradise for pirates, there are almost no natural enemies, there is no official fleet to encircle and suppress, as long as the pirates do not invade each other's sea areas, there will be no conflict at all, and even the other party will send food and wine.
Queen City is more than fifteen thousand miles away from Shen Lang's destination, and it needs to stop for supplies on the way.
Anyone else would have been doomed, but Black Pearl knew every pirate supply base with ease. Every replenishment goes smoothly, as long as the money is given.
It was a full voyage of twenty-seven days.
Shen Lang finally arrived at his destination, the southernmost tip of the Bichao Peninsula.
It is close enough to Saltpeter Island, and there are abandoned iron ore mines on the island, which is the most suitable base for Shen Lang.
Of course, this place is too close to Duke Debos's Bijin City, but this duchess is still more than 10,000 miles away, and she is now ambitiously preparing to build the Third Reich of Xilun, preparing to completely destroy the Witch Empire.
Therefore, Shen Lang has a golden development period of a few months, and there will be no enemies during this time.
From now on, this peninsula will belong to me, Shen Lang.
"Landing on the island, building the city!"
Shen Lang gave an order, and more than 2,000 people got off the ship and boarded the southernmost tip of the Bichao Peninsula.
At this point, the development of Lang Ye has officially entered the formal!
............
Time is like water, and time is like a shuttle.
The days of not being able to pretend to be forced passed quickly, and fifty days passed.
...............
Note: Lang Ye's great cause has finally entered the formal, everyone, the monthly pass will help, please!
Thank you Jiang Dashao for your 10,000 yuan tip.
