516. Parting
When Bai Yi had a simple negotiation with Captain Aegis, Xiao Mia was also having a simple negotiation with his friends in the next room, because there were too many wounded, Lulu's parents were still in the barracks to help deal with the wounded soldiers, and they couldn't come back in time, so there were only Lulu and Miya in the room. Fastest updates
At this time, Lulu's gaze at Miya was a little complicated, with surprise, curiosity, longing, and a trace of complaint, and Miya probably knew what kind of mood her friend was in, so she immediately decided to put the pot first, "It's my father, so I can't reveal my identity as a mage..."
"So... Am I, a country girl, befriending a noble mage? Lulu asked with some hesitation, looking a little inferior.
Mia hurriedly walked over, hugged Lulu gently, and whispered in her ear, "No matter what, you are my friend...", and took out a kitten puppet from the storage bag, stuffed it into Lulu's hand, and continued: "I'm going to leave for a while, if you're willing to accept my friend, just keep it around..."
Lulu picked up the kitten puppet, this thing didn't look very new, even a little old, both the material and the sewing technique was not as good as the hammerhead shark puppet, and naturally there was no hairy back and snow-white belly, which was quite simple.
"This is what I made myself..."Miya opened her mouth to explain, this kitten puppet was actually the kitten money bag she used to save money, and she had plenty of money in the back, so she didn't need to save money so carefully, so she couldn't use it, but she didn't want to throw it away, but did it herself, and with the guidance and help of Artie and others, she sewed the money bag into a puppet and kept it with her.
Compared to the hammerhead shark puppet that has quietly evolved into a terrifying killer, this kitten puppet is too ordinary and ordinary, and it has no unique functions, but it is just cute, but Miya also cherishes it very much, it seems that it is because it carries the good memories of her childhood, right?
After explaining the origin of the kitten puppet, Lulu was also a little moved, knowing that this thing was very precious to Mia, so she hurriedly asked excitedly, "Can we meet again in the future?" ”
"If there's hope, I guess it's okay, right?" Miya replied ambiguously, and with that, she took the initiative to rub Lulu's face, and at this moment, Bai Yi's call also came from the next room.
Miya smiled at Lulu and turned to leave, although she didn't say too much, but just before she came over just now, Bai Yi had already told her about the follow-up plan, they were about to go to the imperial city to meet the emperor, so it would be very difficult to see Lulu again, right?
After all, Mia is a high-ranking mage, the favorite of the next emperor and the future current emperor, and there is a gap between Lulu, who is still just a small village girl... What's more, Bai Yi has always been afraid of Lulu's future status as an imperial concubine, and he doesn't agree with her too much contact with Lulu, and the previous ones are probably the limit of tolerance.
Seeing that the youngest daughter returned to the room with some sadness, Bai Yi said with relief: "After all, we are passers-by in this era. ”
"Yes, I understand," Mia replied in a low voice, and then asked a little unwillingly, "You said that Lulu would later become the wife of the emperor's grandfather, so..."
"That's why I don't want you to have too much contact." Bai Yi said a little helplessly, recalled a little, and then said: "And it's definitely not now, I vaguely remember that it was very late for her to become the imperial concubine, when her parents became the country's leading medicinal herb merchants, and she had the opportunity to meet your emperor's grandfather." ”
"Oh..."Miya replied in a low voice, her mood was a little complicated, by that time, she should have left this era, right? It avoids some embarrassing scenes, but it also means that it will be difficult for her to see Lulu again.
"Okay, adjust your mood, clean up and dress up, we should be able to see your emperor grandfather soon." Bai Yi continued.
The reason why he hinted at the Book of Surrender of the Ten Thousand Worlds before and deliberately created some suspicion for himself was to let the current emperor summon him as soon as possible, otherwise he would be a country god of unknown origin, even if he showed extraordinary strength outside the city, he would not be able to be summoned so quickly, after all, the emperor was very busy.
And after deliberately revealing the flaws, with his understanding of the magician, with this person's extremely confident and even conceited mentality, he will definitely not scruple so much, and he will definitely face him directly, and then he will combine the crooked tricks of the trick of the trick to weave a set of lies to deceive the emperor, it should be no problem, right? It's just that this lie needs to be very cautious, don't look at the magician in his later years, he was often deceived by Mia and Artie or something, but he was willing to be deceived, in fact, he knew it very well in his heart, not to mention that this emperor who was in the prime of life, wise and martial, must have a considerable risk of cheating.
It's definitely a serious test of the tricksters' routines... Bai also thought so.
Soon, that is, in the evening of this day, Captain Aegis went and returned, and he still came alone, not even wearing the mage armor, but changed into a rather luxurious dress, and appeared in front of Bai Yi like a messenger.
Is this guy so iron-headed? Aren't you really afraid that I'm a vicious person? Bai Yi looked at Captain Aegis with a calm and calm face, and couldn't help but sigh with some doubts in his heart, it stands to reason that the emperor must have sensed that something was wrong when he let him come back so quickly, but he still came here so arrogantly? Are you really not afraid of death?
And Captain Aegis also seemed to have guessed Bai Yi's thoughts, and without waiting for him to ask, he took the initiative to explain: "Your Majesty has said that a strong man who dares to go to the palace to meet him will not do anything to a character like me. ”
Tsk, the old guy when he was young, his thoughts are really open... Bai Yi scolded in his heart, this called Xiao Miya, who had already dressed up, at this time the little guy had changed into the kind of robe that Rosser commonly used, but his head and hands were full of all kinds of jewelry and gems, and for a while he looked bejeweled and extravagant, so that Captain Aegis couldn't help but froze for a while, and said half-jokingly: "Your daughter really looks like a princess." ”
She's meant to be okay... Bai Yi's belly sneered, did not speak, but motioned for Xiao Miya to take his arm, and the two walked out of the hotel together, and saw a whole team of Praetorian Guard mages standing straight outside, they stood on both sides of the road like a guard of honor, guarding a carriage in the middle, and did not set the horse, attracting the surrounding passers-by to stop and watch, and whispered with some curiosity and surprise.
The old guy when he was young has always been full in this regard, even if he suspects that Bai is the culprit, but he still arranges a fairly high-level pomp and circumstance, but what is a little surprising is that the hound Doton is actually among them? Looks like an invitee too? However, such a battle was a bit grim for the young Doton, who seemed quite nervous, and he didn't even dare to take a big breath to relieve it.
"He did well last night, and managed to get your help to resolve the crisis in the mountain city, and Your Majesty intends to meet him by the way." Captain Aegis explained.
Maybe there is also a consideration of Doton as a fellow party, right? Bai Yi didn't say anything, maintained that arrogant demeanor, got into the carriage, and Duoton also nervously followed, sitting opposite him, looking down at his toes, not knowing what was going on in his mind, obviously there was a picturesque little Miya opposite, but he didn't dare to look up more.
After the guests got on the car, the carriage did not start, but was dispersed into an array by the mages who served as the scepter team before, and began to cast a large-scale space transfer magic This is actually the prototype of the long-distance teleportation array of the Mage Association in later generations, but the later generations used various materials and more exquisite arrangements to save manpower, and this era is limited by resource problems, and there is no way to spread the teleportation array more convenient than airplanes and high-speed trains like later generations, and the emperor can use those rare resources to enjoy a fixed teleportation array, Other miscellaneous people, etc., still have to cast their own spells, or form a living teleportation array like this.
For example, Captain Aegis, who came to check after receiving the news of the siege of the mountain city, came over like this, and then was sent away by the mage of the mountain city, although it was a little troublesome, but the benefits were very compelling, and the pomp was full, and the surrounding onlookers let out bursts of excited shouts.
Lulu was among them, holding the kitten puppet Mia had given her tightly in her hand, and she stood by the bed watching her friend leave in such a way she couldn't imagine, for some reason, looking a little sad.
And Miya is more heartless, she is immersed in the excitement of meeting the emperor's grandfather when she is young, and she is even a little rebellious in her heart, wondering whether she should disobey Bai Yi once and secretly tell the emperor's grandfather about the situation? Otherwise, letting herself get along with the emperor's grandfather as a stranger, and telling those lies that she is not good at, will not only make her feel very uncomfortable, but also easily expose her feet and cause more troubles and problems.
But after all, she still didn't dare to make such a decision, and when she was still entangled and hesitating, the teleportation was over, and the carriage without a horse came to the outside of the imperial city, and several Praetorian Guard mages on horseback surrounded her, put two batches of high-headed horses on the carriage, and drove towards the palace that seemed quite simple in the eyes of future generations.
