Chapter 30: Prelude to War

The much-anticipated coming-of-age ceremony was held at nine o'clock in the morning, and Cha Cha almost overslept. If it weren't for Princess Shasha bringing someone to her, she would have slept until noon. After the hangover, his head was groggy and painful, and he poured two cups of Huahong Fruit Tree Tea in one go, and his consciousness was slightly clear.

Ah Xue was still weak and didn't want to move, and he and Bai Ze Beast nested in the star chariot to watch their home.

Cha Cha was urgently groomed by the princess's centaurs, slimmed waist and chest, whale baleen, bird feathers, rattan, and four or five layers of silk fabric, so beautiful that she couldn't breathe. If it weren't for Prince Xavier's shocking face, Cha Cha would have planned to give up lying down with Ah Xue directly. Xia Dai was so happy that his face was smiling, dressed in a palace dress, and he followed the princess seriously, a natural flower messenger.

Hundreds of selected teenagers and girls were half-kneeling in the square of the church, in their prime, full of vigor and vigor, and they came from various towns of the Transance Empire.

The periphery of the square is the eager gaze of relatives and friends, and each flower grower is escorted by several relatives and friends, which is why Cha Cha and they lined up to enter the city yesterday. The elders stood on the altar, calmly looking at the future of the empire. The bard plucked the strings and sang the most impassioned war songs.

Cha Cha's heart was beating violently, I don't know if it was because the clothes were too restrictive, or because Prince Xavier was standing at his side, sweat oozing from his forehead, and his eyes wandered in the crowd.

The photographer of the City of Machines suddenly appeared in the field of vision, and Cha Cha felt that her breath was suffocated, and her heart tightened. The photographer was dressed in the most traditional costume of the Translanse Empire, which was quite similar to that of General Flower. Why did the photographer of the Transance Empire set up shop in the capital of Country X? Don't...... He's a spy?

"What's wrong?" Xavier's concerned voice rang in his ears.

"I'm sorry, I drank too much yesterday and had a headache." In the midst of the electric light, Cha Cha made up a reason. I thought about all the conversations I had with the prince in the tavern.

Why was he a commoner favored by the prince and stood like a dog watching the ceremony from the nearest place?

Is it because it's a partner of the Xia Dynasty?

She is not Ah Xue who is loved by everyone, her magical talent is extremely rare, she is gentle and considerate, and she also cooks good dishes. The only thing I'm proud of is probably that slightly easier head.

It's a pity that this is the wizarding world, and only magic can defeat magic. Even if Xavier were to start a war, it would not be her turn as a kobold strategist.

Is it because she is a provider of intelligence about enemy countries? Cha Cha looked at the photographer in the crowd and denied this answer, she was obviously not qualified.

"Hold on, it'll be over soon." The prince whispered, his magnetic voice making Cha Cha more and more flustered.

The blue-eyed boy also saw his acquaintance, the most beautiful sorceress in El Town, dressed in a gorgeous white robe, standing at the front of the crowd. Behind her were the armies of countless empires. Maybe one day, he will be able to stand by her side.

The flower-planting ceremony soon began. A procession of salute soldiers entered with crystal cups containing Shiraflora, and the elders walked among the flower planters and dipped them gently, one by one on the eyebrows of the young girls.

At first, the flower planters still maintained their original posture, respectfully kneeling. After a few minutes, someone couldn't hold it anymore and fell to the ground with his hands, gasping for breath in pain. The body trembled violently, the green tendons under the white skin burst out, and the clogged blood twisted into a ball, but the flower planters held back and did not groan at all. Relatives and friends outside the venue gradually became agitated, and the whole square was filled with a tense atmosphere.

Cha Cha's scalp is numb, and I don't quite understand what is so good about this large-scale masochistic scene, why don't you use anesthetics to relieve pain. Cha Cha clenched her hands, and the food from last night seemed to be undigested, rushing to her throat.

"Ahh A heart-rending scream broke through the shackles of his throat before Cha Cha. The voice came from the boy in the middle of the square, and the dead grass came out of his body, stretching and stretching, squeezing every bit of energy out of the boy's body. Trained soldiers set up the boy from the square, and the elders were already waiting to pull the weeds.

"Ahh Another scream. The anguished maiden rolled on the ground, the weeds madly piercing through her limbs and growing out of every pore. The soldiers made their way through the crowd and flocked to the girl who had failed to plant flowers.

More screams rang out, the scene was chaotic, the most solemn square of the church turned into a meadow, and the bad smell surrounded the holy capital. In less than half an hour, most of the flower planters were covered with weeds. Those weeds did not fall off from the pores of the teenagers and girls and get a new life as Cha Cha expected.

"Failed to plant flowers." These four words were like a strong wind, sweeping away countless hopes in the square. They are the future of the Magic Empire, but the future will not be able to use magic smoothly. Numerous shields were propped up from the crowd, trying to hide the oppressive atmosphere in the square.

Chacha looked worriedly at Prince Xavier beside him, his pupils contracted slightly, and his lips pursed into a line, trying his best to restrain the anger in his heart. When the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back, Cha Cha felt that it was wiser to remain silent, and subconsciously lowered his head, and found that the prince's toes couldn't wait to go up. Is His Highness rejoicing?

"It's over soon." Xavier's voice echoed in Cha Cha's head, and Cha Cha covered her mouth in surprise. No, it won't, how could the prince of the empire ruin the future of the empire with his own hands.

The voice in her ears became distant, Cha Cha was immersed in her own world, and the image of the demon and the savior discussing appeared in the temple of thought, and she didn't even know how she got back to the inn. Ah Xue got out of bed and helped her take off the complicated burdens on her body. Cha Cha lost her soul like a puppet, letting Ah Xue swing.

"What's going on? It seems to be noisy outside. Ah Xue couldn't help but care.

"I don't know. Truly this garment is sinful. Sleepiness hit, Cha Cha was physically and mentally exhausted, "Is there anything to eat?" ”

"I haven't done it today." Ah Xue said truthfully.

"Forget it, I'll drink some nutrient solution and go to sleep." Cha Cha entered the kitchen and pressed the emergency button, "You are not feeling well, lie down first, leave me alone." ”

The news of the failure to plant flowers spread, and more terrible news appeared in the newspapers of the Holy Capital.

General Flower captures a spy from Country X, and the flower planting ceremony is destroyed by him and his accomplices. The mechanics of Country X secretly created an artificial sun and roasted the small town of El in the south of the Translans Empire, killing all the townspeople. There is also credible evidence that country X is training humanoid weapons that will destroy humanity, and is ready to move on the frontier with the intention of attacking the Transance Empire.

The war is about to begin. The Holy Capital gathered troops, General Flower propped up a thick protective shield and shuttled through the clouds, and the streets and alleys were shrouded in a bloody and terrifying dark cloud.

"What are we going to do?" Ah Xue asked Cha Cha.

"Xingcha hasn't gathered its full energy yet." Cha Cha pressed her temples with some headaches, "Find a chance to leave, we can't get involved." ”

"What about Natsudai?"

"He's going crazy with joy right now, after all, this is a good opportunity for him to make a name for himself." Cha Cha began to rub the Baihui acupoint on the top of his head.

The prince's messenger came twice and invited her to the palace as a guest. They are now going to attack country X, and Chacha, who can easily destroy the weapon aiming system, coupled with the knowledge reserve of the sand sculpture, may be regarded as the world's top mechanic. As for why Xavier knew about the sand sculpture, this is naturally due to the honest young Xia Dai who explained everything in detail.

"I heard Xia Dai say that the city gate is blocked, and the entry and exit are particularly strict." Ah Xue was a little worried, "Your Royal Highness has looked for you twice, so you don't have any plans?" ”

"I have a lot of walls, and Sylvia is still mine." Cha Cha rolled her eyes, "Let's go out at night and try our luck." ”

Cha Cha returned to her room, raised her eyes and saw the photo of her idol, and couldn't help but feel sad. If it was an idol, what would he do? At the head of the bed was the pen that had been obtained by entering the password 40,000 times, and Cha Cha picked it up casually and turned it in his hand wantonly.

"Ding!" I don't know where it went, and after a soft sound, the tip of the pen emitted a dazzling red light, surrounding Chacha.

The hungover was spinning, and something was tugging at her soul. A violent feeling of vomiting ensued, and Cha Cha struggled to prop up her arms. The palms of the hands were strangely bent, the body was deformed, and Cha Cha called out to her companion in horror, but she couldn't hear her own voice in her imagination, and her mouth was open in vain.

I rolled to the door with all my might, trying to pull the handle of the door, but I couldn't even move my fingers.

A piece of talisman paper was pressed under his body, and Cha Cha seemed to think of something, gasping for breath and writing down a string of numbers, and fainted.
