Chapter 119: Factional Strife
"Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, please pay attention to your identity." Catherine regained her awe-inspiring voice.
The Three Princes?!
Other words......
Wen Cheng took two steps back and looked at the two hesitantly.
What the hell did I just fall in love with?!
"Catherine, I don't mean anything else, it's good for you to go to that world and be quiet, and when you come back, I'll take care of everything." The man suddenly regained his composure.
Go to our world for a while? Our world is a mess!
"Goodbye, then, Catherine, and you, sweet little girl." The man gave a warm smile.
Wen Cheng, who was at a loss, immediately hid behind Catherine.
After bidding farewell to the three princes, Wen Cheng and Catherine walked side by side, the white streets and the shuttle crowds and carriages made people feel like they were in the classical era, and the kerosene lamps on the street walls felt like the Age of Discovery, but the magic circle on the side of the road seemed much more abrupt.
Unlike the world of pure swords and magic, the magical civilization here is much more complex than imagined.
Let's ask slowly.
Wen Cheng first set his gaze on the blue sky, even in the daytime, the huge moon wheel was extremely clear, with large and small golden yellow ring light arrays printed on it, I don't know what kind of magic project it was......
The sky is cloudless, and after the refraction of the atmosphere, the space station and the spacecraft have become dim specks of light.
However, I didn't see any huge starships, most of them were normal-sized magic ships.
"Sister Catherine, where is it going?" Wen Chengju pointed to a point of light in the sky that was rapidly moving away.
"Ah...... I don't know, I'm going to do a space walk......
With a whoosh, the point of light was stretched into a thin line, and then quickly disappeared.
Jump?!
"Gone to another galaxy?"
"Sort of, but I don't know where I'm going." Catherine pursed her lips and smiled.
It's really an interstellar civilization!
"Actually, our Zero World has established diplomatic relations with 38 other worlds, some of them are humans, some are other intelligent species, and," Catherine stretched her wings, "Although our Templar Angel Race claims to be a higher civilization, they are still biologically subhuman."
Wen Cheng is still digesting the first half of the sentence.
"38 different worlds?!"
"Well, in comparison, you and Ryu are indeed alone in the world."
Indeed, the humans of our world have been lonely for a long time...... Until now, it was just an over-exploited and exploited Earth, but the moon landing project is almost complete, and there will be a moon base and a Mars base in the future......
Wen Cheng looked at the blue sky and the huge white moon wheel with anticipation and heaviness.
At present, there is only this zero world in the known extraterritorial world, and even the mainland is tired of defense......
When will our world also develop from a single-star civilization to an interstellar civilization?
Such thoughts were awakened by Catherine.
"And the apprentices, it's not actually the Templar's ship." Catherine said towards the sky.
"Not the Templar?"
According to Su Meng's previous explanation, is it difficult?
"Yes, the only thing in this world that has mastered space technology is the Empty Nation," Catherine looked down on the streets of the North, "Compared to the magicians and engineers of the Empty Nation, the Angels of the Templars have no ambition to explore and expand."
I see.
"So, the country of the sky is a monopolist of space technology?"
"yes."
Wen Cheng took a deep breath, it was worthy of the country that Liu Zhen longed for......
As they walked, the two were attracted by the noise in a tavern on the side of the street.
"Looks like a celebration......" Catherine smiled wryly.
"Celebration?"
"Well, it wasn't long ago that the old emperor married the new queen, and it ...... by day," Catherine snapped her fingers.
"Is the new queen happy?"
"Yes."
Although it has nothing to do with me, this news is definitely not good for Master......
As the Minister of the Interior, his father is stepping down, which is bound to be related to the disputes within the palace, and he is about to marry the third prince, not to mention the two crown princes, and the new queen who is now favored is happy again......
Looking at Catherine's hesitant brow, Wen Cheng sighed.
Suddenly, there was an astonishing scream from the tavern.
It was a genuine scream, and Wen Cheng set his eyes on the door of the tavern, and the men and women ran out screaming with frightened expressions.
In a corner of the tavern, several silver-armored sergeants and white-robed nobles drew their swords and faced each other.
The same winged, blonde, blue-eyed burly race, is there also strife within the noble race?
If it's a celebration and one or two unwarranted commotions between drunken people, it's understandable, just like in a football game, and it's best to have fans on both sides sit separately and have an ambulance outside.
This is one of the highlights of the festival.
I believe that everyone can treat everything rationally.
But there was the sound of swords clashing in the tavern, and from time to time there was a dazzling white or golden light, and the smoke of gunpowder was bursting, and before long all the passers-by found a suitable distance on the street to watch from afar, with fear and irrepressible curiosity, the herd effect was slowly accumulating on the street.
Then came "Bang!" With a sound, like the sound of muskets, the crowd scattered and fled.
Wen Cheng pulled up Catherine's sleeve.
"It's okay, it's just a factional strife, don't listen to the noise so loud, it's very regular." Catherine grinned and touched the blonde Lori's head.
A wine bottle rushed out of the window and flew in a daze.
Catherine was furious, and immediately summoned her ivory staff to smash the bottle, and then emitted a dazzling white light, which made the people in the street unable to open their eyes, and then stabbed into the tavern.
As if a sedative, the riots in the tavern came to an abrupt end.
Catherine glared out the window at several sergeants and nobles in the tavern, and pulled Wen Cheng away as if nothing had happened.
After a while, beside a neat marble pavement, Catherine pulled Wen Cheng to sit down in the open-air seat of the café, and ordered a pot of black tea and a few snacks of various kinds.
"Sister Catherine, is the factional strife so strong?" Wen Cheng looked intently at the tavern in the distance where the riots had not subsided.
"Hey, these old men......" Catherine shook her head with a wry smile, "In the past, it coincided with the time when His Majesty the Emperor was young and heroic, so it was the era when the main battle faction was in power, whether it was a riot on the border or a war in another country, the Templar Empire would intervene decisively, but now that His Majesty the Emperor is old, the cabinet has lost its support all of a sudden, and the traditional nobles are mostly in harmony because of their intricate industrial connections and harmonious wealth." And the new queen is the representative of their interests, blowing the pillow wind every day, so ah."
Although it is an unbiased assessment, it is ......
"Then Sister Catherine, are you ......?"
"Father, I guess it's the main battle faction, and that's why he's stepping down." Catherine picked up the bone china cup and took a sip of tea.
Even so, it would be a helpless move to reluctantly marry into the royal family.
"The Three Princes are also considered to be the main battle faction?"
"Well, the first prince was killed in the war ten years ago, although the second prince and the third prince were all born to the old queen, but the second prince was more forbearing, and he was impartial in the main battle and the main peace issue......
In this way, the throne of the second prince is stable...... Sure enough, the three princes can't bet......
"However, the Lord and the faction have been strong recently, so the second prince can't help but favor them......
Plus the new queen has a happy ...... There are even more variables.
Anyway, it's not the turn of the third prince, oh? It seems that Master's escape from marriage is a very correct choice.
Wen Cheng looked at Catherine with raised eyebrows, only to find that she was looking at the table with a worried brow.
The dim sum on the table was left unattended.
Master also has troubles......
Wen Cheng sighed towards the sky.
But in comparison, it's none of my business, it's better to go back and protect my world honestly.
At this moment, the face of a mature uncle appeared in front of him, Wen Cheng was startled, hid in the shadow caused by the sun's face projection, and quietly leaned back in the chair.
The uncle looked at Wen Cheng with a scrutinizing and kind smile.
"What a cute little girl, Katie, where did you bring it from?"
