Chapter 256: An Unexpected Encounter

Niske's style is inseparable from "water", winding water alleys, flowing clear waves, high and low stone bridges, the whole city is like a silent girl, with a tenderness flowing in the eyes.

The city's architecture, paintings, sculptures, operas, etc., have an extremely important position and influence in the entire "Tulip Alliance" and even the entire continent.

In addition, because of its unique geographical location, it is also a major commercial town.

The inhabitants live in abundance, tranquility and tranquility, and naturally have a spiritual outlook and artistic accomplishment that are not found elsewhere.

Today is the seventh day that the Storm Horn has arrived in Nisker Watertown.

Because it is not known when a possible attack will come, to avoid the soldier's spirit is constantly tense. The offshore cruising mission was divided into three batches, and the six-day period was exactly one round trip from the far sea boundary to the port.

They can rest for a day each time they arrive at the port to ensure continuity of the cruise.

And Knight Ambrus and his squad entered the Joint Mobile Unit of the Six Nations. It was divided into two main groups, the "Golden Lion City", located in the middle of the river valley, and Brandenburg, the political capital of Salt Lake County in the east.

Nisque, the Golden Lion and Brandenburg are the three largest and most important cities along the river valley, and of course they are also the highest level of defense.

It is even said that there is a powerful transcendent of the third order in every city, and the combination of the transcendent troops is enough to make the octopus ghost have no return!

In this "Storm Point" rare return to Hong Kong rest time.

The soldiers hurried to repair and replenish.

Ai Wen, because it was the first time he went abroad, was very quiet.

Instead of calling Milan, who has been studying his natural witchcraft, and Gary, who has seized all the time to improve his swordsmanship, he wanders around this beautiful city alone.

One must not be presumptuous, but one does not have to regard oneself as a predestined savior.

Although the deadline of this mission is uncertain for the time being, the pressure on Aivan's heart is not great.

Being in the same camp as the powerful alliance officials is unlikely to remain passive for a long time.

Because a mere pirate is terrified, even if Evan doesn't mind, the top brass of various countries can't afford to lose that person.

It was heard that the Alliance had sent a hunting force led by the Grand Knight to go deep into the Black Sea to hunt for Huggins and his hideout.

On the bright side, maybe the battle hasn't started on my side yet, and maybe the hunting force over there has already returned with Huggins' "octopus head".

Trample.. Trample.. Trample..

Evan wears a snow-white shirt, slim pants, and round-scaled shoes. Just like an ordinary tourist, wandering in the unique scenery of the water city.

Next to a small square that half extends into the water, Ai Wen stopped, leaned on the stone railing and looked at the "gentle" scenery of the water town in the distance, enjoying a very rare time alone.

In a warm golden sun.

There are many stone bridges that connect the city, and the clear waterways are passed by boats. Artists from all over the world are performing in a place where there is a stage.

There are some of the best audiences in the world, and even a layman can tell the quality of the artists by the number of people around them.

When Ai Wen stopped to watch, he also saw the ordinary but colorful life of ordinary people in this extraordinary world.

At this time, there were people playing musical instruments in the square.

The melodious sound of the violin attracts passers-by to stop, which is enough to show the artist's superb skills.

Evan is no exception.

Although Evan didn't know the name of this piece, he could hear the full emotion of the performer.

With affection, the feelings of the audience are also inadvertently mobilized, that is to the relatives.... Deep "longing".

Involuntarily involuntarily intrigued, Evan gently closed his eyes and listened.

'White clouds in the clear blue sky, free winds blowing through the autumn fields, ripe barley aroma lingering on the nose with the smell of sunshine...

That's the taste of true hometown that stays in memory.

The taste of a long, long time ago.....

A cute girl in a long skirt with brown hair jumped up and down like a happy deer and spread out her snow-white palms like a dazzling treasure...

Caught off guard, she shoved a green grape hidden in her palm into her mouth.

Ahh

The scene of his own deflated food provoked the tall man and the kind old man not far away to laugh together.

The girl let out a silver bell-like laugh and fled...

"Hehehe..."

The girl's silver bell-like voice pierced through the memories and rang in Aven's ears.

Ai Wen opened his eyes in an instant and saw a smiling, beautiful but unfamiliar face in front of him.

Only then did he realize that the song had long since ended, and he was immersed in his memories, and had been standing here for a long time.

"Masnet's Meditations, great tunes, great virtuosos, isn't it?

Standing in front of Evan was a young girl with long pale blonde hair and a violet dress, who reached out and handed over a snow-white square handkerchief.

Subconsciously took it, and Evan realized that his eyes were already a little blurry.

"Oh, thanks, thanks!"

Gently wiped his eyes, and was about to return the square handkerchief to the girl, but seeing her clearly, Evan was slightly stunned.

The delicate face like a painting, the long hair shawl, the light fabric of the dress outlines the beautiful figure, and a pair of silver slender high heels under his feet highlight the figure even more tall.

A light pink rose is inserted in a light lady's gauze hat, lace on the skirt of the sleeves, and bows on the shoes are delicate and elegant.

Standing there, she has a unique temperament that is different from the ordinary, ethereal, elegant, and noble, and the temperament that may be very contradictory in others forms a harmonious unity in her.

Like an elf who jumps into the world, she is clearly a stunning beauty who can make people look at the world!

Seeing Ai Wen staring at herself blankly, the girl smiled, her little hand lightly covered her pink lips, and her small movements were indescribably elegant and moving.

"Sorry to interrupt your 'musings', I'm Venia, can I make a friend?"

Perhaps because she had seen too much of this kind of gaze, the beautiful girl named Venia did not care, but generously stretched out her fair and slender right hand.

"Oh, yes, yes. ”

Ai Wen didn't care about returning the handkerchief, and slightly stiffly stretched out his right hand and shook it gently with the girl.

"I'm Aven, Evan Galiot, nice to meet you!"

At this time, taking a deep breath, Evan finally regained the composure of a naval captain and formally introduced himself to the girl.

"Oh, Mr. Garlotte?"

There was a hint of strangeness in the girl's expression, but she hid it well.

By this time, the violinist had changed to a cheerful repertoire, but it could no longer resonate with Aven.

Just listening with appreciation, he leaned against the railing and struck up a conversation with his new friend.

During the conversation, Evan learned.

Although the language of the Union is very good, the girl is not from Taylor, or even from any of the Tulip Alliance countries.

Now I am just studying in Nisker Watertown, and my dream is to become a great artist and scholar.

Aven, on the other hand, only said that he was a soldier of Phaletis, and that he had only come to Taylor for a short period of business.

For other topics that do not involve the origin of identity, the two of them talked very speculatively.

From the recent news of current affairs to ancient allusions, from the scenery of various countries to the political situation, from literature and art to the current Red Maple Leaf Academy Alliance, which gathers a number of the highest universities in the mainland...

Although Ai Wen hasn't been to many places, he has a broad vision and advanced knowledge, and he has a golden finger that includes half of the library.

chatting with this new friend who has obviously been to many places is not down at all, and even every sentence is to the point, which makes the girl listen to it again and again.

When I spoke, I was unconsciously solemn a lot, and if it was still small talk at the beginning, it seemed like some asking for advice in the end.

Talk about the rise.

The girl's blue eyes, as beautiful as the sky, flashed with a hint of anticipation, and she bit her lower lip lightly and asked a question that she had traveled all over the continent but had never found a satisfactory answer.

"My hometown is on the other side of the sea, and it is still very backward, far less prosperous than this continent.

Now, Avan, can I ask you a question?"

"The other side of the sea?"

Inexplicably, Evan has a very familiar feeling of this statement, but it is too rude to wander in front of a lady.

He didn't think much about it for the time being, but smiled gently, and said very gentlemanly:

"No problem, you say hello, as long as I can answer you. ”

"Thank you!

I have been to many places on the continent, and in those civilized countries, I have seen neat clothes, exquisite food, magnificent art, ingenious architecture, great steam engines, and strong ships and cannons.

I would like to ask, is this why the civilized world has been able to overcome the barbaric natives and continue to pioneer to the point of colonizing the entire explored world?"

The girl's gaze at this time was not like the normal intellectual curiosity of a literary girl, but more like a worried wise man worried about the future of the race.

Although it is somewhat strange that her appearance is a very standard mainlander, she seems to be asking this question from the perspective of an indigenous person.

But Ai Wen himself is not a pure "mainlander", if all his relatives and friends are here, there is no essential difference between mainlanders and natives in his heart.

So, hearing the girl's confusion, Evan laughed.

"The victory of colonization on a worldwide scale? hahaha, there is no difference between civilization and barbarism, only barbarism and more barbarism!"

The so-called colonization is nothing but a process of breaking down the borders of backward nations with strong force, carrying out open-minded plundering and enslavement, and carrying out all-round and practical occupation in the economic, political, and cultural aspects.

Everything the girl said is true, but the cause and effect are reversed!
