Chapter 272: Breaking Illusions
The other visitors on the viewing platform had apparently noticed the strange but real tension between the two.
Intentionally or unintentionally, they have taken a detour to avoid the location of the two people.
Avan realized that he was speaking too eagerly, and a smile appeared on his face to try to lighten the mood:
"Miss Venia, didn't you say you wanted to help the people of your hometown?
Blind isolation and seclusion will only lead to backwardness and beatings, and if you are willing to come out and learn about the outside world, you should certainly know how much the Old World is changing day by day.
Then why don't you choose a kingdom on a continent as a collaborator?"
Evan has never been a ruthless person, although his too direct purpose has aroused resistance from the other party.
But if possible, he still hopes that the two sides can achieve a win-win situation through peaceful cooperation, and force is only a last resort.
"Working with the kingdom?"
Venia tilted her head and repeated a sentence in her mouth, but the meaning was difficult to understand, and she couldn't hear whether she agreed or denied it in her heart.
Evan continued:
"If you know so many secrets, you must have a good position in the Golden Nation, and if you can promote the cooperation between the two countries, it will be a great credit to both the ruler and the people living there!
If you have traveled the world, you should also know that the two original huge indigenous empires of the New World, the "Gashna Empire" and the "Azk Empire", were easily wiped out by the first kingdom of Sylius to land with little resistance.
In order to avoid a recurrence of such a tragedy in the "Golden Country", you should plan ahead. β
I've only seen each other twice, and the information is really limited, and Evan only knows that she should be from an extraordinary background, but he still doesn't know the girl's true identity in the Golden Country, but as long as she does what she likes, it's right.
For this young girl who traveled to the Old World across the continent, the most concerned should of course be the people of that indigenous country.
After listening to Aiwen's words, the girl's face glanced at Aiwen with a strange expression:
"Didn't you tell me that the only reason to colonize and to be colonized is the balance of power?
What if we cooperate? Will you open up the core technology to us, or can you support us with guns and ammunition across the entire Shattered Star Sea?
Besides, when the warships of Cyrius do sail over, will you Pharytis help us in the war?"
Her series of rhetorical questions left Evan speechless, which was like shooting herself in the foot.
What could the kingdom have been so generous as to give people the ability to "fish" and let the steam engine technology, warship building technology, and artillery casting technology that they have used as the basis of their existence leak into the hands of the natives?
As for those big road goods, how can they be attractive to Venia, a "mainland expert" who has been traveling abroad for many years?
At this time, Venia obviously relied on her superb wisdom to comprehend the mystery of "those who learn from me live, and those who are like me die!" are determined to give full play to their strengths, and they will not eat Evan at all.
"The 'Golden Country' has its own characteristics.
The people of the kingdom of God naturally have their own extraordinary things, and we will find our way out, and we will not need to bother with Mr. Aven.
Finally, I welcome you to cross the Black Sea, cross the New World, and cross the entire Broken Star Sea to the Golden Realm in the future.
Certainly as a great adventurer exploring the world, not a greedy colonist!
Well, leave it at that, Mr. Aven!"
After saying that, Venia carried her painting folder and was about to turn and leave.
"Venia Little..."
Then.
Trample.. Trample.. Trample.. Trample..
Loud and neat footsteps.
Both men looked up at the same time.
Not far away, a group of naval soldiers with muskets on their shoulders happened to pass by.
Because of the increasing alert level on the front line of the "Leiden Valley", Nisker, as a tourist city with a large number of outsiders, has also increased its patrol force several times.
The main urban area, especially the prosperous area, has been on full-day alert duty after the garrison enters the city.
The patrol was led by an acquaintance of Aven's.
Dressed in the uniform of a colonel, and with a large golden book hanging from his waist, Bertlem Solomon led the way.
Behind him, a total of 20 naval soldiers marched forward in two neat rows.
As a captain of the Navy, Bertlem should not have patrolled the shore, but who made him a soldier of Taylor or a "rising star of the Navy"?
He was often caught by Major General Coverdale to participate in the patrol of the city, giving full play to the halo effect of a star and calming people's hearts in a special situation.
Bertolem, who was already noble, has both the heroic spirit of a soldier and the mysterious temperament of a wizard, and everyone looks sideways everywhere he passes, almost becoming another scenery in the water city.
When Evan saw him, Bertlem apparently also spotted Evan and the beautiful girl beside him.
"Stand!"
Bertreum gave a command, took two steps forward and waved his hand to say hello to Aven:
"Good morning, Captain Aven!
Woohoo...
Suddenly, there was a rapid dog cry in his heart.
The movement of raising his hand also stiffened slightly, but he quickly adjusted, and continued casually:
"Is this beautiful lady your friend? Nisque is the best of the year this season.
That, I still have a task to do, so I won't bother the two of you to visit. β
Without waiting for Evan to answer, he was ready to turn around and slip away.
But she didn't want Venia to look up at the void behind Solomon, and said lightly:
"Hehehe, Solomon's School, is an invisible dog demon? interesting!"
As soon as the words came out, Solomon's face changed suddenly.
Kashler, the demon of his own demon "Invisible Dog Demon" just now, had already reminded himself that the one standing next to Evan was the source of the inhuman smell he had smelled last time.
And when he really faced this "alien", the dog demon's extremely keen sense told it that this seemingly weak beautiful girl may... It's hard to deal with.
This is a powerful dog demon that has not been able to break through only because of his current wizard level!
The "alien" of that girl's appearance should at least be the second-order pinnacle of the same level as the "Invisible Dog Demon", and it must be some kind of powerful transcendent profession!
Solomon immediately realized that he was involved in some troublesome matter.
I wanted to withdraw in time, but I didn't expect to be screamed by the beautiful and weak girl who looked like an elf, and broke the existence of Kashre!
While having great strength, it must also have some kind of unknown investigative means.
Solomon saw that Aven, who was standing on the side, kept glancing at him and let him leave first, but he felt an invisible momentum enveloping him, and he was in a dilemma for a while.
Venia looked at the giant canine demon hidden in the void, and she was about to leave the "civilized world" and return to her hometown, and she no longer cared about revealing this identity that she had painstakingly maintained to avoid the attention of the Church of the True God.
I don't like to do it, but it doesn't mean that I don't have a temper at all!
In addition to the so-called gold everywhere, the "Golden Country" has more protective power that belongs to her!
If you don't suffer a little, you really think that the "Golden Country" is just a lamb to be slaughtered under the butcher's knife of the "civilized world"!
The next moment, the girl's temperament had changed suddenly, and she glanced at the two of them in a high-looking posture that Ai Wen was extremely unfamiliar with:
"In fact, in addition to culture, art, and science and technology in the Old World, what interests me is the mysterious knowledge that you have passed down.
But the best parts are often passed down in schools, and the lineage of wild wizards is not much stronger than that of the princely states of the New World.
I didn't expect to meet a Solomon here, so let me see how far the extraordinary family of the 'civilized world' can reach. β
At this time, Bertelem had also realized the inadequacy of Venia's words, and although they stood together, the relationship between her and Aven was far from being as harmonious as it seemed on the surface.
I can't guess where she came from, and I don't really understand her words. But in the face of the provocation of strange and transcendent people, it is impossible for any Solomon, as a thousand-year-old master, to remain indifferent.
So Bertlem smiled as if he didn't care, and even took a step forward, saluting like a well-recuperated gentleman:
"You are laughing at this beautiful young lady, how can I, as an upright knight, strike at a woman as outstanding as you?"
Syllable!
The magic book "Solomon's Golden Book" hanging from his waist suddenly opened, and the golden pages were windless.
caneββ
In obscure, sulphurous low syllables.
Whoosh!
Two smaller "Invisible Dog Demons" jumped out of the pages.
Solomon's family motto: The lion fights the rabbit with all his might!
The "Invisible Dog Demon" is a very powerful group of dog demons in the lower realm, and the corresponding top-level existence is the legendary "Xenohound" that can travel through the world at will.
They do not reveal their bodies to people at any time, nor do they leave any footprints of themselves in the material world.
With his instinctive transcendent stealth ability and his powerful ability to chew through steel, he becomes a naturally tough assassin.
And what is especially rare is that among the many low-level monsters with confused thinking, they are known for their absolute loyalty and will not betray after recognizing their master, and they are a key link in the summoning sequence created by Solomon.
In the past battles, even if a senior official knight was caught off guard, it was not for nothing that the "invisible dog demon" who was sneak attacked bit off his head.
Obviously, as a wizard family, they do not shy away from sneak attacks.
From the kind of demon envoy who is good at sneak attack chosen by Bertlime, we know that this guy with a handsome and sunny appearance on the outside, if you cut it, it will definitely be pitch black inside!
Woohoo...
Two small three-meter-long canine demons barked like only their owners could hear, and pounced on Venia, who was almost close.
Whew-
At the same time, a howling wind blew overhead, and Kashla, who was more experienced in hunting, had leapt over Solomon's head and bit hard at the woman who had made him uncomfortable.
Although Evan could not see the Invisible Dog Demon, he was aware that Solomon's attack had begun.
Just as he clenched the sword and staff in his magic pocket, he wondered if it was necessary for him to completely tear his face and unite with Solomon to forcibly leave the girl behind.
Suddenly it turns out that the battle has just begun... It's over!
Whew... Whew...
Almost in the blink of an eye.
The "Invisible Dog Demon", the weakest of which were all at the official knight level, had been firmly entangled in the air by the pale cyan chains that extended from the air, and the body of a giant canine was faintly revealed.
Except for the wailing of the true defeated dog, he didn't even touch the corner of the girl's clothes.
The golden book that was constantly turning in Bertrum's hand seemed to be frozen, and the pages froze.
"Defeated!"
The two of them turned blue, who didn't realize that even if the girl's strength had been overestimated as much as possible based on her age, the reality proved that their guess was still very wrong!
In the body of this beautiful girl who is weak on the outside and looks very easy to bully, there is a powerful power of at least the third order!
