Chapter Eighty-Eight: Good Things (I)
Layers of waves rush to the majestic shores of the English Channel, splashing pure snow-white waves on the beach and cliffs.
In the sky, the sunset accompanied by the crimson sunset swayed on the endless blue sea.
Four brave class new destroyers as pure white as the waves braved the wind and waves to guard the famous royal cruise ship "Britannia", which was hundreds of meters long and looked a little old in the middle.
Built in 1953 in Marvel history, this British royal cruise ship was once the world's largest and most luxurious private cruise ship.
But today, half a century later, even if it has been repainted, if you look at it from the hull, you can still feel a sense of the vicissitudes of history.
At the top of the building of the "Britannia", a tall and mysterious figure stood quietly by the railing full of fierce sea breeze.
The turbulent and frantic sea breeze seemed to be non-existent around this figure, the spotless gold-trimmed white magic robe was unfazed under the howling of the wind, and in the hood embroidered with mystical purple runes, in the gap between the pure black bangs, a pair of mysterious purple pupils stared indifferently into the distance.
"Lord Edward." A beautiful female voice sounded behind Edward.
"Or should I call you, 'Your Majesty the Speaker'?"
Looking back, Edward's eyes lit up suddenly, and a low-key and implicitly luxurious lilac gown set off Queen Anne's annoyed expression with a small mouth, which was a little cute.
You know, in the minds of Her Majesty Queen Anne. The image of the Speaker of the Magical Council has always been like Edward in the Wizarding Council Hall. Or the old, wise voice that comes out of his speech at the opening ceremony of Hallworth School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which is as knowledgeable as he speaks. An old man full of wisdom!
Instead of the one in the girl's memory, the younger brother who is often molested by her good friend Helga, the image of a red-faced little lover that Artoria meets.
The George IV crown on the girl's head is topped with 1,333 diamonds made up of roses, thistles and clovers, shimmering in soft and shattered colors in the light of the setting sun.
A smile flashed in Edward's purple eyes under his bangs, and he removed the hood from his head.
"Alright! Then my majesty, let us get acquainted again. β
"I'm Edward. Merlin, Speaker of the Supreme Magic Council of Europa. β
Edward stroked his chest with one hand and bowed his head slightly. A formal mage ceremony was performed.
When Edward said "My Majesty", an unnatural blush flashed on Anne's pretty face, but it quickly disappeared.
As if to hide her shyness, Anne raised her slender and beautiful chin slightly and snorted softly.
Anne walked slowly to Edward's side, standing in front of the railing of the highest shipbuilding, looking at the wide deck of the Britannia.
Although night has not yet fallen, the outdoor deck is already brightly lit.
Dozens of male and female waiters dressed in formal dark blue suits. Serve a myriad of exquisite treats to the table. Fifty or so well-dressed adult men gathered in small circles, holding champagne or wine, and chatting happily with each other.
These guests come from five continents and four oceans. All have a common identity - the supreme heads of the member states of the Commonwealth.
"You know what? This 'Britannia' once carried the last afterglow of the Empire. β
For a long time, Anne looked downstairs at the dinner scene full of colorful lights. Said slowly.
Edward was silent about the story of the famous "Britannia". He's certainly not ignorant. The last colony of the British Empire, "Xiang ~ Jiang", was lost in the whistle of this cruise ship departing port. This is the last vestige of the term "British Empire". Finally dissipated in the long river of history.
"But at least." Her Majesty turned around violently, "Grandpa George also left the Federation for me!" Shed the United Kingdom! The girl's voice became fierce.
"The first step in restoring the empire is to unify the British Commonwealth."
The girl stared into Edward's eyes, as if she saw her own dim reflection.
"Edward, I know, you're going to help me, right?"
Looking at the girl in front of him, staring at the scorching heat at the bottom of his eyes, a rapid alarm instantly flashed in Edward's heart.
Oh no! It's not good!
What's going on today?
As a good sister to his sister Helga and his fiancΓ©e Artoria, Edward and Anne have been in contact for a long time.
Edward is naturally not an emotional idiot, and Anne's vague affection for herself can naturally be felt in the past so long of contact.
But in the past, because of worldly morality and sisterhood, Anne always hid this affection well, without revealing it at all.
What the hell is going on today?
Not to mention that Edward's classmates were confused there, our seemingly calm Majesty the Queen's heart was also pounding, as the only handsome man who had been with her on an equal footing for decades, and even occasionally joked with her, Anne's love for Edward could only be said to be inevitable by chance.
"Alice, that little thing won't lie to me! Didn't she say that Edward had received an ancient aristocratic education in the past, and that in his perception of men could not be 'polygamous'? β
Not to mention, our little goblin Alice is really right, the marriage system in the magical world is a bit similar to the marriage system in early medieval Europe in the Marvel world, and like some dynasties in the ancient Celestial Empire, polygamy was recognized.
After all, the abyss demon disaster in the magical world every 500 years is not only a feast for the heroes of the other world, but also a brutal population massacre! After the abyss demon disaster, the lives are devastated, and thousands of families are vegetarian, which is not a joke recorded in the history books.
For the continuation and development of the race, the human kingdoms in the other world, of course, cannot have the conditions and foundation of modern times to engage in "monogamy", but because there are strong female professionals in every era, the status of women in the other world will not be as low as in the ancient Marvel world.
"Of course I'll help you! Your Majesty! β
Edward, who was looked at by Anne's big watery eyes, was creepy, and as soon as he said his words, he saw the shadow in front of him suddenly hugging him, and before Edward could react. There was a warm touch on his cheeks.
"Edward, don't call me Your Majesty, call me Annie!"
With that, the girl held the hem of her dress and trotted shyly into the stairs on the top floor of the ship.
It took a long time for Edward, who was stunned by all this, to react, his face changed greatly, he raised the magic bracelet on his right hand, and after sensing that there was no trace of the appearance of the goblin, he patted his chest and breathed a long sigh of relief.
"That's a good thing, Edward."
It was always like this, without a trace of emotion, and the tone appeared in Edward's sea of consciousness for a long time, like a basin of cold water poured on Edward's head, making him instantly sober up from the agitated emotions.
Edward calmed down instantly.
"Long time no see, my dear Big Ball of Light."
Since the development of the magic world was on the right track, the big ball of light, which had been hidden in the hall of the main god space for several years, actually took the initiative to talk to him today.
"By the way, what did you just say?"
The voice of the Lord God remained the same, and he repeated calmly.
"I just said that it's a good thing that the base carbon creature is in love with you!"
The adjective "basic carbon creatures" caused three black lines to appear on Edward's head in an instant.
A soft girl at the good end.,Said by the big ball of light.,This kind of "stalk" usually appears in the mouth of a robot like Transformers or the Emperor of Machines, right?
According to the experience of the past few years, the "good things" in the mouth of the big light ball are all things that can help improve one's faith point reserves!
For example, a few years ago, the Harry Potter book series released in the name of Helga brought Edward a huge point of faith!
"What's good? Big ball of light? β
Anyway, Edward was ready to ask in detail (to be continued......
