Chapter 210: All the way to the west
The visit of the construction committee of the riverside monitoring and defense project to the forging holy land was very successful, the bidding for the design of the base went smoothly, and the introduction of the cement plant was finally negotiated.
It's just that the dwarves require that the cement produced by the elves can only be produced and sold by themselves at present, and it will not leave the elf tree sea for twenty years. Edward agreed to the dwarves' request on the spot, and twenty years was still a short time for them.
After successfully completing the task, Charles, who had stayed in the Forge Holy Land for more than half a month, flew back to the Elven Tree Sea on a dragon flight and began to arrange the road connection and site leveling work of the first phase of the stronghold construction project.
Ever since learning of the death of the marshal of the kingdom of Othme, Elizabeth has decided that the Fishmen will be halted for a while by internal power struggles, and then the winner will hold a massive offensive to strengthen his position.
Therefore, the entire Elven Royal Court took advantage of this short time to mobilize the whole country, from swords, bows and arrows to boxes and boxes of canned food, from newly recruited soldiers to veterans who had re-taken up arms, rolling torrents towards the southern coastal areas.
The friendly people in Greentown now spend half of their time at Chengdong Station, for fear that the torrent will suddenly turn north.
And the relevant departments of the Elven Royal Court have a bad taste to arrange the residence of these friendly people in the scenic Xixiangtang area in the west of Greentown. The water system here is developed, the ponds are dense, the rivers are numerous, the scenery is beautiful, and there is also a monster park for visitors to visit, which is a leisure holy place for Greentown residents and foreign tourists. At the same time, Xixiangtang Vocational College, one of the highest schools in the Elf Royal Court, is also located here.
But now the friendly people don't care about this, they now have to take a taxi to the station in the east of the city every day as soon as the sun comes out to check the situation, and then rush to the Platinum Tree Palace on the south side of the North Lake to attend the press conference before 3 p.m.
Today's press conference is over, there is no new news worth paying special attention to, and the friendly people are not in a hurry to send messages.
Thomas Cromwell walked out of the Platinumtree Palace as usual, and just as he was about to cross the opposite Garden Square and take a taxi back, someone hurried up to him.
"Thomas, have you heard from Charles lately?" asked a female voice with a slightly hoarse voice, but not an offensive voice.
Thomas didn't have to look to know who it was, and he replied, "I'm sorry, Miss Redkin." I haven't heard from Charles lately, I'm afraid he's still on the dwarve's side and hasn't returned. ”
As soon as Layton Redkin, who was sent by Duke Redkin, arrived in Greentown, Charles's side had already flown to the Forge Sanctuary not long ago.
"That's a pity. However, there was no trace of pity in her expression, but she said to Thomas with a little expectation: "I don't think it's too early, why don't I invite you to dinner, you can talk to me about Charles." ”
Thomas looked at the clock tower built on the opposite side of the square to commemorate Elizabeth's birth, the clock tower showed that the time was still a few minutes before four o'clock in the afternoon, and his heart was a little speechless, the excuse of the eldest girl to invite herself to dinner had not changed for ten days, even if there was still a lot of time before the meal.
In the first two years, he ran outside as a bard, during which he attracted wild bees and butterflies because he was handsome.
It's just that the big girl in front of him invited him to dinner or something so suffocatingly, and it was the first time he had encountered it.
"Alas, being handsome is trouble. Thomas sighed in his heart, so he said to Layton, "You invited me yesterday, why don't I invite you today, I heard about a new one that is quite interesting......"
Before Thomas could finish his sentence, he suddenly turned his head sharply and saw that someone was looking at him on the edge of the square across the road.
"Wait a minute. Thomas said a word to Layton and hurried towards the man.
He came to the handsome young man, put a soundproof barrier in his hand, and then asked with a bitter face, "Brother, why are you here?"
The young man looked at Thomas with a funny look on his face and said, "As soon as I got home, I heard from my parents that you had hooked up with a beautiful woman within two days of coming here on a diplomatic mission, and my parents asked me to come and see it." ”
Thomas's face became more and more bitter, and he said: "What is it that I hooked up, it was she who pestered me, and I was not easy to refuse." She doesn't even know what my real name is now. ”
"Okay, okay, it doesn't make a difference to me anyway. Thomas's brother pulled Thomas to Leyton, "Let's go and introduce me to Oliver Cromwell." ”
Thomas's face darkened, and he stood there motionless, "Brother, don't make trouble! She's Charles's cousin." ”
"I'm not making a fuss, I'm serious. Oliver turned back to Thomas and said, "What's wrong with Charles's cousin, aren't you also his cousin?"
"Brother!" Thomas's face darkened, "It's not like you don't know about our family......"
"It doesn't matter. Oliver patted his brother on the shoulder, "I'll leave these trivial matters to me, and it's good that you can get out of the shadow of broken love." ”
Thomas's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Oliver saw that Thomas was still not moving, so he simply walked towards Layton, who had been watching the movement over there.
"Gui'an, Miss Redkin. Oliver bowed politely to Layton, "I'm Thomas's brother, Oliver Cromwell, and it's a pleasure to meet you." ”
Not to mention the young people in Greentown, in the far north, in the royal palace of the Kingdom of Fringen, King Barnett I looked at the ten people under the throne, and then his gaze stopped at a man with black hair, black eyes and yellow skin.
Yamada saw that the king was looking at him, and his body couldn't help but stand up a little straighter.
Barnett I, who was looking at Yamada Boguang, nodded slightly, although the level of this traverser was not as high as he said at the beginning, it was still good.
Moreover, Barnett I found that the luck of this traverser has been very good, and he has avoided several traps that this traverser has avoided.
Overall, this traverser is a pretty good tool guy.
So Barnett I stuffed Yamada Bomitsu, who had been raised for half a year, into this newly formed team.
At this time, Barnett I stood up and said to the ten people standing under the throne: "You are all the elites of my Firingen, and this mission to go west through the forest sea to the Rurik Empire, where the demons are entrenched, can be said to be nine deaths and one life. ”
"However, I believe in your abilities, and I am confident that you will all return triumphantly. ”
That being said, Barnett himself knew in his heart that it would be a success for these young men to come back a little bit.
It was not only the Kingdom of Philingen that wanted to send people to the west to find out the news.
In the City of Knowledge, Artoria has been living a pleasant life lately.
She now serves as an external swordsmanship instructor at several academies such as Wisteria, Wudaokou and Dunqiao, and her job is to go to different academies every day to teach swordsmanship to students.
And her true identity is no secret in the upper echelons of the academy, but everyone doesn't find out.
After school that day, the dean of the small college invited her to come over and talk about something.
In the rector's reception room, a man claiming to be an envoy of the Kingdom of Biberach said to Artoria: "Your Excellency the Knight King, our country intends to send a group of adventurers through the forest to the Rurik Empire to reconnoitre, I wonder if you would like to go along?"
Rejection is definitely refusal, how long has she just come out of there, how can she go back so quickly. Artoria then bowed and said, "I'm sorry, I'm only interested in educating children right now, and I'm not interested in anything else. ”
A look of disappointment flashed across the envoy's face.
After refusing, Artoria took her leave and left.
It was not only the Bibrach Kingdom that had come to her recently, but also the Fringen and other kingdoms had sent people to look for her before, and she finally refused without exception.
