Chapter 277: Wei Bo
Although an agreement with Sandro has been reached on a friendly and peaceful relationship temporarily, I know that this is all temporary, Sandro Since they have secretly established an arsenal on Paradise Island, it must be a great cause, plus the special status of Duke Jackson, I have to suspect that the so-called great cause is likely to involve the change of imperial regime, if this is the case, as one of the citizens of the British Empire, it is not realistic for us to put it out of the way, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, many things are involuntarily self-conscious, So I have to think about the future of the people in our camp, we certainly can't stop the storm, but we can at least find a way to stay out of the storm.
So far, we have a general understanding of the situation in this world, and it is unlikely that we will know more about it for a while, and it is also unrealistic to want to leave this planet and return to Earth. If, according to Ding Ying, the people on the "moon" above our heads are gone, this world is basically like this for a long time, although it is inexplicable to come to this planet, but it is indeed a valuable life experience, after all, if you are still an ordinary person on the earth, who can have the opportunity to go to places outside the earth to see? There will be gains and losses, and there will be gains and losses, and life is nothing more than that.
After arranging the affairs of the clinic, I immediately rushed back to the winery, and Bruni tied up several of Long Xin'er's guards before leaving the winery.
For Long Xin'er's guards, they are actually very confused now, if Long Xin'er is really dead, they will definitely not be able to account to the prince, the construction of the golden altar has been delayed, and they can't account for the leader of the Vulcan Sect, they don't know what to do if they stay here, and there is nowhere to go back to the Dahua Empire, everything seems to have fallen into a dead end.
Because the guard named Wei Bo had helped me in the previous fight, I had him alone in the room. And Wei Bo doesn't know if he is really loyal to Long Xin'er, or if he has always had a crush on Long Xin'er, in short, he doesn't care about his fate at first, but cares about Long Xin'er's situation.
I said to him: "Miss Long has been sent to rescue, fortunately in misfortune, her life has been saved, but because of excessive blood loss, it is difficult to say when she will wake up, and even if she can wake up, it is difficult to say whether there will be any sequelae left." ”
Wei Bo sighed, looking sad and lonely, "Miss should have enjoyed the glory and wealth, but it's a pity that the prince is obsessed with immortality, and he has believed the nonsense of the people of the rivers and lakes, and he has turned his head to the way he is now, which is really regrettable." ”
I looked at Wei Bo and asked curiously, "You don't seem to believe in the legend of the immortal bird like this, do you?" ”
"It's not that I don't believe in the legend of the immortal bird, I just think that even if you can get eternal life through the immortal bird, it must be done by people who are destined for good deeds, where is it possible to summon a divine bird just by relying on a golden altar? If it's really so casual, then immortality is too child's play. ”
"But since you don't believe the nonsense of the Vulcan Sect Master, why do you want to do things for him? Or even come all the way to this remote overseas island? You can go home and be a country man. ”
"My father has been following the prince to fight in the north and south, and I grew up in the palace since I was a child, in my life, my only mission is to protect the safety of the young lady, although the leader of the Vulcan Sect is absurd, but the prince believes in him, and even let the young lady worship under his door, although the young lady also resists this, but there is nothing to do, I have no ability to make the prince change his opinion of the god fire sect leader, I can only silently stay by the side of the young lady, and do my best to protect her."
Wei Bo said very sincerely, his words were full of loyalty and obsession with Long Xin'er, I asked him: "Since you like Long Xin'er so much, have you ever shown your heart to her?" ”
My question made Wei Bo panic, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Master, don't make fun of me, I'm just a small palace guard, how dare I want to eat swan meat?" As long as I can protect the young lady, I will be satisfied. ”
I patted Wei Bo on the shoulder and smiled and said, "What guards don't guard?" Even if you are a guard, you can't fall in love with the young lady of the prince's family? Don't be bound by the world's eyes, if you like someone, you have to be brave enough to say it out loud. Besides, now that you are on Paradise Island, 108,000 miles away from the Dahua Empire, you don't have to worry about those things. ”
Wei Bo looked at me, as if he was a little moved by what I said, but soon shook his head with a wry smile, "Impossible, Miss already has a sweetheart in her heart." ”
"What do you mean by that Fourth Highness?"
"It's not the Fourth Highness, the young lady herself has said more than once that when she stepped on the merchant ship leaving the Dahua Empire, the Fourth Highness was already dead in her heart. Miss's sweetheart is none other than you! ”
"Me?" I looked at Wei Bo in surprise, then immediately shook my head and said, "Don't be kidding, how can she like me?" Besides, it's not like she doesn't know that there are already other girls around me. ”
"But isn't it normal for a man to marry three wives and four concubines? Don't you like Miss? ”
"Well, that's not what I said, the so-called three wives and four concubines are all feudal remnants, and women are not vassals of men."
"But aren't there more than one other girl around you?"
"Uh......", Wei Bo's words made me speechless, I touched my head in embarrassment and said, "It's different, they're different." ”
"Master, now that the maid is dead, the prince and the sect leader will definitely be furious when they know about it, they will definitely send someone to forcibly arrest the young lady back, and if the young lady is arrested back, then her life may be bleak, I beg you to let the young lady stay by your side, please!"
As I spoke, Wei Bo was about to kowtow to me and kneel, so I quickly held him up, and I said to him, "A man has gold under his knees, how can he say that he will kneel?" Long Xin'er was stabbed in order to save me, not to mention anything else, I will definitely find a way to protect her with this, as for the matter of children's affection, let's not talk about it for the time being. ”
Next, I asked a few more questions about the Golden Altar. According to the estimation of the leader of the Vulcan Sect, the correct location for the construction of the altar is at the foot of the extinct volcano on Paradise Island, and since the island has been on the island for so long, Long Xin'er and the others have completed the foundation construction of a small part of the altar, but because of the limited manpower and the fact that they have to do things secretly, the completed part only accounts for about one-twentieth of the entire altar, and it can only be an unfinished project in the future.
Wei Bo told me that every once in a while, the prince and the sect leader would send people to Paradise Island to transport gold, and by the way, to learn about the progress of the construction of the entire altar, but in order to hide people's eyes, the ships of the Dahua Empire would not dock directly at the dock of Paradise Island, they would dock in the outer waters far away from Paradise Island, and then let the merchants hired by them from the West come to Paradise Island by merchant ships. The people who went to the dock to pick up the goods and report the situation were all dead maids, so if the prince's people found out that the person who joined the joint had changed next time, they would definitely be suspicious.
I said to Wei Bo, "Don't worry about that, even if they find something abnormal, what will happen?" After all, this is the territory of the British Empire, and the army of the British Empire is still stationed on the island, and I have already greeted the commander of the army, as long as there are strange Orientals on the island, they will be strictly investigated, I don't believe that they can still drive warships to attack Paradise Island? ”
