Chapter VIII. banquet

The faint wind blows the sea, and the waves beat happily on the reef on the shore, just on this seemingly vast and boundless ocean, an island like a maple leaf is cutting layers of waves, but if you look carefully in the past, you can make anyone surprised to find that it is not the island that is cutting the layers of waves blown by the wind, but the island seems to be following a specific direction... Float!

Just like a super-large ship, but it has the absolute stability of the island, the mountains, forests and even rivers and lakes above are still located and distributed smoothly, without the slightest cracks and collapses caused by movement, and even in the woods, rivers and even lakes and rock crevices, there are many animals and insects breeding. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

But the most striking thing is the southeast corner of the maple leaf, where a beautiful city is located, where noble golden fleur-de-lis flags flutter in the wind on the tops of many towering buildings, reflecting the happiness and joy on the faces of pedestrians on the clean and well-planned streets.

A number of horse-drawn wagons were ready, carrying many workers dressed in simple clothes, heading towards the outskirts of the city, but the smooth land already had the appearance of roads, and although only large stones and weeds were removed, there was still a communication between the forest and the hills, as many lumber mills and quarries were built, and workers with logging axes and pickaxes were working in an orderly manner.

Even on the seashore, the simple patrimonial road had been extended, and with the pouring of timber and stone, the fish sheds had begun to be built, and two old men, who were obviously elders, commanded seven or eight young men to separate the small sections of the wood, and the model that had been unfolded turned out to be a simple fishing boat.

When people were working hard, even the nobles and officials in the city did not live a corrupt life of drunken dreams, but nervously studied the topographical maps drawn around them, and based on the information sent back by the explorers, they estimated the distribution of resources and planned construction, and everything in the city developed in an orderly manner.

It can be said that this is a new type of city with a long history, the class of the people is complete and not oppressive, this is the capital of the empire led by His Majesty the noble King, the officials are full and vibrant, there are no paupers, no discrimination, no villains and thugs who do evil, on that pure silver white, under the graceful golden irises, here is a proud army power like a lion, the capital of the Kingdom of France - Paris!

*********

"It's such a beautiful city, it's so fascinating."

Mademoiselle Sherlay stood on the balcony of the parlor of the consul's residence, and by this time she had also changed into a long dress of a noblewoman made of velvet, moss and silk, and the obvious French style, with a rich mix of silver and pale blue, made her look as if she were as charming as a goddess.

"Of course, the city is called Paris."

Chopin walked slowly, holding a glass of wine in each hand, he heard the exclamation of Miss Sherlay in front of him, he couldn't help but smile slightly, gently handed her a glass of wine, and stood side by side with her in the carefully carved marble balcony, looking at this city of its own, which was blooming with a different charm in the afternoon sun, and couldn't help but be proud: "Although it is still small in scale, it has its own vicissitudes." ”

Paris has been a key city since ancient Roman times, whether it is the Gauls, Romans, or Germans, they have all built glory in this city, especially the current Kingdom of France, where Chopin inherited the title of king, and once left a strong mark in history!

Especially after the precipitation of the Middle Ages, French art can be said to be a fusion of thousands of essences, which is also related to the geographical location of France, which is bordered by the Italian countries that have produced artists from ancient times to the present in the south, the Nordic countries that are rugged and still retain the customs of the ancient Germanic people in the north, and the Holy Roman Empire and the Byzantine Empire in the east, and even Spain, which is still ruled by the Arabs with an Islamic style, have been actively or passively absorbed by France A lot of artistic experience.

In particular, the Gothic architecture in Paris, which symbolizes solemnity and majesty in the middle and late Middle Ages, has towering spires, pointed arches, large windows, and pointed vaults, flying buttresses, and slender columns.

"It's hard to imagine the sea before you encountered the Lost Storm."

Sherley smiled on her beautiful pretty face, and gently held the crystal clear goblet with her unfamiliar hand, and the blood-red wine was contained in it, so that she couldn't help but take a sip of the wine inside, looking at the city outside the balcony, she couldn't help but exclaim: "What kind of prosperity." ”

The captain of the Ziggy Guard next to him also nodded subconsciously, he stood in the corner of the balcony and looked at the city outside, the exquisite buildings that can only be owned unless they have history, and the priceless glass in his hand all show that the young man who saved them has a different background.

Especially since the time they were saved, they have lived until now, the food and clothing they have eaten, and the rooms they live in, even when the Purple Rose family still existed before, only the head of the family can have a luxurious life, and now even their group of servants have enjoyed it, and it seems that it is not the highest scale, which is simply quite surprising to everyone.

"The Lost Storm is terrifying, but the vastness of the Endless Sea is beyond my imagination."

Chopin just smiled faintly, gently leaned forward with his elbow to support the white marble railing, looked at the city of Paris bathed in the afternoon sun, but there was a bit of emotion in his eyes, and gently sipped the fine wine, he just shrugged his shoulders as if to say to himself: "Maybe I will never go back." ”

Miss Sherley on the side was also slightly stunned, hearing Chopin's words with emotion, but she suddenly remembered the former Purple Rose family in her mind, she also smiled reluctantly, lowered her head and gently looked at the crystal clear glass in her hand: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned this matter." ”

"No, no, no, it should be my fault that I brought up this matter again."

Chopin immediately apologized, he stood up straight, the excellent height and handsome face of the Germanic people, coupled with the majesty of the king, made him stand proudly like a god in the sun, so that Sherlay next to him was slightly stunned, and even his heart beat a little faster.

The two got along for about half a month, and during this time, Chopin also consulted about the world of Schelles, not only did he understand the general information of the Drifting Island, but also the endless sea where the whole world could not be explored had a vague concept, and there was a lost storm that could sweep any creature and island into an inexplicable area at any time.

However, what made Chopin even more surprised was that the races in this world, human beings are not only the only arrogant existence in this world, but in the seemingly boundless endless sea, there are races that only existed in the magic novels of the previous life, such as the elves, dwarves, orcs, giants, dragons, and even fishmen, Naga and other strange races, all rely on their respective islands to divide different sea areas to maintain different domination.

The monsoons in spring, summer, autumn and winter can also change the speed and direction of the Drifting Island, but what really surprised Chopin was that on the fifteenth of each month, when the stars were at their brightest at night, endless stars would fall, and when the falling stars entered the sea, they would turn into various islands.

"If that's right, tonight is the fifteenth."

The atmosphere between the two was a little awkward, but Chopin still smiled slightly, raised the wine glass in his hand, looked at the sun that had begun to sink in the west, and took the initiative to touch a glass with Xie Erlei: "I really hope that if you can, there will be a good resource island to fall." ”

"Of course, but most of them are simple waste islands."

Miss Xie Erlei also nodded, the glasses of the two collided slightly, the crisp voice was transmitting, she also looked at the sunset that had begun to appear in the sky, and couldn't help but let out a long breath, with a smile on her pretty face: "But the possibility of the emergence of resource islands and habitation islands is not impossible." ”

"Hopefully my luck won't be so bad."

Chopin smiled instead, looking at the sky that seemed to be the same as the previous life, the blue sky and white clouds were decorating, and he couldn't help but take a sip of wine, and he was extremely excited and surprised by the stars falling at night, because the mysterious stars fell, for this world where all races live on the island, there is no doubt that it is to increase the possibility of continuity and land!

The stars will set at the brightest time of the moon at night, like a meteor shower, but they will quietly appear on the surface of the sea, forming their own different resource islands, among which the islands are either mountains, rivers, or lakes, maybe gold mines, maybe also forested mountains, maybe also a grassland with many animals, maybe a forest inhabited by birds, or even a mysterious stone platform, can live forever on the drifting island.

All inhabited islands need stars that land on the fifteenth of every month, because the resource islands that are formed are the things that all races need, whether it is wood, stone, fresh water, animals and plants, they are all resources needed for a race to reproduce and build cities.

However, although this kind of resource island has a much more probability of appearing than the precious inhabited island, the more stars that land are turned into pieces of waste islands, which are either deserts or Gobi, except for some specific races, no one likes this kind of island with almost no resources at all.

"I'm still looking forward to it."

Chopin looked up at the sun that was about to sink to the end of the sea, turned his head to look at the banquet that had been fully held, smiled at Sherlet, nodded and made a gesture of invitation, and said gently and politely: "Miss Sherlet, before the stars fall, you might as well attend our banquet, this is the real first welcome banquet when you come to the city of Paris." ”
