Chapter 66: A Wonderful Misunderstanding
This Mr. Mystery Man......
Empress Emily raised an eyebrow, looked at the young man next to her, and couldn't help but frown.
Then again, it seems that this guy really didn't say his name from beginning to end, right? didn't even say a pseudonym, code name or anything, so that he and others didn't know what to call him.
He said that he didn't know how to explain his identity, so he didn't explain it - it was very perfunctory and unconvincing.
However, she had just escaped from the Danwall Tower that day, and Queen Emily only wanted to get out of the predicament as soon as possible and seek a comeback. Therefore, as long as the other party is her right-hand man, then she doesn't care about everything else.
But now, she couldn't help but wonder.
The black-haired and black-eyed human characteristics on the other party didn't seem to match the races of the world in her impression, Teva, Morey, Gristo or Sokonos?
She couldn't identify, or even couldn't find, any details of the other person's similar characteristics to the people of the four continents of the Archipelago Empire, as if he was from a completely unfamiliar race.
However, there is no such person on the four continents of the Archipelago Empire, so it is impossible to say that he is from the Pandyssia continent.
For the "Far Eastern Continent", the Imperial people are generally very unfamiliar, only knowing that it is the largest known ancient continent in the Far East, and everyone also acknowledges that there is no civilization on the main road.
As the empress of the archipelago empire, Emily naturally knew that traders and commercial culture were all over the coastal areas of the Far Eastern continent, and merchant ships were constantly coming and going.
However, it is not wrong to say that there is no civilization on the continent as a whole, and like the archipelago empire, the Far Eastern continent was once occupied by ancient civilizations, and many temples and shrines were built, and bone charms and runes were probably used.
Most of the Pandysians, as they are today, are considered to be much more primitive than the industrialized empires. The monastery even identified the Pandyssia as nothing more than barbarians engaged in cruel and strange cult rituals.
So far, the Imperial Exploration Force has been slowly exploring the continent. Even with the latest whale oil technology, the journey is extremely difficult because it is too far from the Empire.
Similarly, the strange and dangerous ecological environment and the treacherous terrain are basically preventing the colonization of the local area.
Most of the unexplored continents are deadly deserts and jungles, and attempts to explore the interior end in tragedy, with the survivors largely driven insane by their experiences.
Even Anton Sokolov, the empire's most respected natural scientist, recorded that on the way to the mainland, he saw "strange fish with poisonous stingers jumping out of the water", and several reports of sightings of "giant flying snakes".
Piero Joplin even claimed that he had read the record of "land-chocoking whales in the interior of Pandysia......
However, it is not known whether those whales have actually evolved to the point where they can travel on land, or if there are other creatures that have been mistaken for whales.
Anyway, the Far Eastern Continent is so demonic, but now, Empress Emily began to suspect that there were indeed other civilizations in the largest known continent.
After all, she really couldn't think of any unknown world outside the archipelago empire other than Pandysia......
Moreover, she and Meghan have discussed it several times, and the unanimous opinion is that each other's backgrounds seem to be very ...... Well, noble?
These can be seen from some obvious characteristics and details of the other party, just as the people at the bottom have been weathered and their faces have been vicissitudes, and they often have to do heavy work and endure the wind and rain, and the pampered aristocratic class is definitely different.
But—this guy is a little too pampered.
Emily thinks she is the empress of the archipelago empire, but when she compares it with the other party, she also feels a little dwarfed, and she really can't imagine what kind of environment the other party was born in, and it is better than the treatment of her as an empress.
And the most important thing is that this guy's movements, tone, demeanor and expression when he gets along with people are very strange.
It's not "regular" at all, but it naturally reveals a ...... How so? Kind? Manners?
That's right, unlike the so-called aristocratic etiquette that was commonplace in the past, it was ridiculous to twist and pinch.
It's a rather natural feeling, how to say, elegant, generous, and naturally decent......
To be honest, Empress Emily couldn't describe the feeling, but she felt that if compared to it, this was the true meaning of "nobility", not those sycophants who had nothing to show for themselves.
So, why is this guy's origin so mysterious?
What kind of background is he?
What kind of environment can nurture such a person?
Judging from the various characteristics and details displayed on his body, in the environment of his birthplace, his status can at least be equal to that of an empress like himself, right?
Empress Emily had some wonderful misunderstanding, for she could not understand that it was a difference of time.
The times have been advancing, although some of the black technologies in this world are quite top-notch, but they cannot change the whale oil technology in this world as a whole is only equivalent to the steam civilization, and the comprehensive aspect is still stuck in the era of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, which is only equivalent to the earth.
Therefore, just like the treatment that Empress Emily can enjoy, it must be the top level in this world, but in the twenty-first century, not to mention the vast majority of people, at least most people can easily reach or even surpass her.
This is a gap that belongs to the times.
For example, for people two or three hundred years ago, a toilet with its own flush toilet, a bathroom with bathing equipment, and a house with air conditioning and Internet access was already heaven.
But in modern times, this kind of single apartment is not even in medium condition.
In the same way, Mo Chen certainly didn't have any aristocratic temperament, but he had lived in an environment where everyone was enlightened in modern times, and everyone was equal, or at least verbally equal, for twenty years-
In any case, in a civilized and civilized modern age, as long as they are ordinary people with qualified qualities, they will certainly be better than the vast majority of people in a feudal and backward ignorant society in the overall environment......
Ahem, that's it anyway.
In addition, Empress Emily was already extremely tired of the already sick aristocratic atmosphere, so it was not impossible to have such a misunderstanding.
……
……
Not to mention that Empress Emily suddenly lost her mind and wandered into the world, not knowing what she was thinking.
Megan Foster has already begun to introduce the contents of the two suitcases, which are undoubtedly some contraband.
"Because the target this time is the Clockwork Mansion, I think there should be a lot of clockwork robots inside, and I heard that someone in the black market has recently spread the news of the design blueprint of the "Alloy Polarized Bullet", which is specially used to paralyze the ...... of the Clockwork Soldiers."
Megan took out the contents of the box the same as she explained the origin of the things.
"So I kept an eye out for it, and finally managed to get those special bullets - and besides, I found two masterpieced pistols that should be useful to you."
She took out two ranged assault weapons, which were very close to the City Watch pistols, and placed them on the table:
"The accuracy of the pistol, its range, its ammunition capacity, and its refill burst rate are all excellent...... This one doesn't need to be manually refilled and can be fired continuously, while this one can fire three bullets at a time, which has a ripple effect at close range. ”
Megan put out the pistol, as if she was ready to let Mo Chen and Emily choose for themselves.
"These are two crossbows, but they are not masterpieces, but they are more sophisticated and reliable than the ordinary crossbows you are using now, Your Majesty, and their accuracy and range far exceed those of ordinary crossbows......"
"It can use ordinary crossbow arrows, so I won't prepare these, these are special arrows, instant stun darts and stinging arrows, five of each, you should know what they do, I won't talk about it......"
"And that's it, it's very dangerous! Your Majesty, you also know, this kind of thing is the most severely restricted by the laws of the empire, whether it is your mother or your reign, if someone secretly hides these things, they will go directly to the gallows. ”
Megan said a series of words in one breath, and her voice was somewhat cautious, or a little jealous.
Because it's some grenade or mine-like mechanism.
"Tightrope storm? Stun mines? Mo Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, and immediately recognized what these things were, no wonder he said that he would go to the gallows if he secretly hid these things.
"That's right. So be careful, these things are powerful and dangerous. ”
Megan nodded.
"When dealing with the enemy, you can easily eliminate a Davidian's formation, but there are countless users who accidentally die on them, and the corpses cannot be recovered."
“……”
“……”
"I don't think it's safe at all, but as long as you are careful, it should be fine." Mo Chen nodded, didn't say anything, just moved his gaze to the last thing in the suitcase.
- Ancient Runes.
"I know the characteristics of you people, don't ask me how I know, anyway, I just understand that you need the power of these runes to improve the extraordinary power you have mastered."
Megan picked up an ancient rune and pondered it.
"Aside from the fact that the Abbey has been collecting these so-called witchcraft artifacts for so many years, there are enough of them in the black shop...... However, there was not enough time, and the money was not enough, so I only got five runes. ”
She looked at the two of them, shrugged her shoulders and said:
"I've asked the people in the black market to help transfer goods from other places, and as long as there is money, then there will be more ancient runes...... So, my advice is to get as many bone talismans back as I can, so that I can sell them. ”
"Then I can only patronize the territory of the Abbey a little more." Empress Emily raised her eyebrows, then looked at Mo Chen, and reached out to take the two ancient runes.
Mo Chen tugged at the corners of his mouth, "I heard that Jin Duoxi is actually very interested in the affairs of the Outsider, and he should also use his power to collect things in this regard, this time we will visit his house, and we can take it by the way." ”
Because Her Majesty's intention was obvious, he was not polite and took the remaining three pieces of ancient runes.
"Well—well, I'll go and wait in the dinghy on the deck now, smoke a cigarette by the way, and set off when you're ready."
Megan nodded, turned around and walked away without any delay.
Mo Chen looked at the ancient rune in his hand, then thought about it, and then looked at Her Majesty the Empress in front of him, and found that the other party's eyes were the same.
The two looked at each other for a moment, then didn't say anything, except that Qi Qi reached for a suitcase, turned around and left the multipurpose briefing room from different directions.
Mo Chen was also preparing to directly use these three ancient runes and convert all their power into his own ability value.
- And he mainly intends to continue to further strengthen the magic ability of mental illusion, after all, the next action will be useful.
