Chapter 309: Autumn Harvest Celebration of the Fourth Year I
The sea is blue and the sun is shining, small fishing boats are far and near, and the white white beach is empty, except for a few deck chairs in the shadow of a few coconut trees. In the verdant jungle near the shore, a strange-looking five-story building stands, the roof and surface of the shed are covered with glass, and the green of plants and swaying figures can be faintly seen inside, like a solar greenhouse that has expanded countless times.
In the large room on the top floor, sunlight pours through the transparent glass dome, and colorful flowers of all sizes compete with each other, and the surrounding area is like a sea of flowers. Several pillars and beams supporting the glass dome are densely wrapped with verdant vines. Do not show a trace of grayish-white unnatural cement surface.
Jiao Ming sat behind his desk, dressed in a wide and comfortable beachsuit, looking at these introductions to the geographical knowledge of the Red Mountain Kingdom, full of sleepiness. After all, he shook his head and stuffed the document to the dark-skinned maid Butterfly beside him, "I'll listen to it." ”
Dieda was still sorting out her very revealing new version of the bunny girl's maid suit, and straightened the decorative rabbit ears on her head, but did not listen to the order, but complained: "The wire in this headdress is a little uncomfortable, can you not wear it." ”
"Whatever you want, but remember to put it on when the madman personality comes out, otherwise I don't care about the hardships. ”
The corners of her mouth curled slightly, and after thanking her, she ripped off her headdress and straightened her hair.
“...... The Ba Shu Sea is located at the southern end of the union of the kingdoms, that is, the westernmost part of the entire continent. It is an inland sea recessed into the continent, and its shape arcs flat above and below the map, like the body part of a beetle. The arc coast to the north belongs to the Red Mountain Kingdom, and the horizontal coast to the south belongs to the theocracy of the Mother Earth God Cult, which is the homeland of Master Mar.
In the Hongshan language, the name of the sea is Ba Zhen, which is translated as the South China Sea. And in the language of the other side, the name of the sea is Kusur, which translates to the sea of tears.
The sea is rich in fish resources, except for the very common fish on the west coast of the mainland, there is only one kind of batti fish......"
"Okay, skip that. Tell us about our territory. Jiao Ming waved his hand to interrupt, this kind of specialty fish tastes really good, but normal people will get tired of eating it three times a day, and at this time he burps and spits out that kind of taste. And the problem is that although the normal personality Jiao Ming is tired of eating, the crazy personality is not, and even intends to oppose the normal personality at this point.
The sound of the paper turning sounded, and the voice of the butterfly was renewed: "Two hundred and eighty years ago, when the Red Mountain Kingdom was revived, it was given as a fief to the Baron family of Bartizaire, which translates to the fisherman who harvested the batty fish in the south. Two hundred years ago, the Bazeti family's magical bloodline was cut off. Twenty years later, the last of the ordinary people, Baron Bazeti, died of illness, and the family declined and disappeared.
Five years later, it was again sealed to an earth magician family, and then this family defected to the other side and was removed from the Red Mountain Kingdom, the details of which are unknown. A hundred years ago......"
This section is also skipped, looking for area, population, and property. Jiao Ming waved his hand again, becoming more and more helpless.
"I'm sorry. There is only information on the area, which is about 400 square kilometres. After a pause, Butterfly closed the information and added: "Although there is no information on the property, judging from the records of the royal family, it is the dried batti fish and the kind of fruit you call pineapple. ”
Hehe smiled bitterly, Jiao Ming also couldn't understand the attitude of the royal family of the Red Mountain Kingdom, the office building and the maid group were not discounted at all, but they were only given to such a remote area where birds don't. I thought that industrial planning could be carried out, but now it seems that it is the hand card for the development of tourism, but the problem is that in this backward world, there are almost no people who have spare money to travel.
"What does my baronial title mean, wouldn't it be a fisherman?"
Dieda shook her head and apologized again, "With my level of Hongshan language, I can only know that this is a derivative of the word 'change', and the specific praise and connotation can give you an answer within three days." ”
"Forget it, don't waste time. After that, Jiao Ming, who felt bored, got up, "Go and see our exclusive beach." "Growing up inland, in my entire childhood memory, outside the swimming pool, I only went to the beach beach once, but it was still crowded, and I didn't have a lot of fun. At this time, as the lord of the territory, everything in the territory belongs to him in name and in fact, including the beach outside that he has dreamed of for a long time.
In the respectful salute of the Bunny Girl and the many subordinates, the two walked down the stairs, but before they could walk out of the podium corridor, a little girl in a crooked red mask appeared around the corner, shouting the word 'Toniche' repeatedly, holding up a letter and running towards it. Jiao Ming smiled, and his right leg stepped back half a step as a support to meet the oncoming impact.
Sure enough, Tony Che accelerated halfway, and the innocent and silly smile on his face quickly changed in the shadow of the window, and then slammed into Jiao Ming's chest.
Jiao Ming picked up Tony Che with one hand, took the letter with the other and handed it to Dieda. You must know that except for Jiao Ming, if an acquaintance dares to take something in Toniche's hand, he will really be bitten, and as for the stranger, it will be a fat beating that is neither light nor heavy.
Butterfly opened the letter and glanced at it, "Lord Yisi invites you to participate in the autumn harvest celebration in the royal city. ”
"There is also an autumn harvest celebration in the Red Mountain Kingdom? ”
In two sentences, Toniche had already climbed to his shoulders, hugged Jiao Ming's head with a satisfied expression, as if he was a rare treasure in his arms. Dieda chuckled at such a combination and explained, "It's just a matter of translation, and it's called Sankur Bazar." After all, the celebration of harvest is the custom of almost all countries and peoples, but there are some differences in timing. You forget, Jim's three little ones also sent a gift yesterday, which was a special roast chicken at Thanksgiving in the Grace City of the Ifusen Theocracy. ”
"I don't remember, I was probably asleep. Jiao Ming, a normal personality, shook his head and asked again: "The autumn harvest celebration of the crocodile collar seems to be also recently?"
"Would you like to go in three days?"
"Of course, but I don't think so. ”
"So ...... letter"
"Go, you have to go, just ask the woman what it means. ”
The two of them walked out of the corridor with a live helmet, took the sunglasses from the hands of the servants, threw off the slippers, and stepped barefoot on the beach, the blazing sun and the cool and moist sea breeze blowing on their faces, making people feel refreshed.
"Why don't you move your desk here? ”
Butterfly laughed again, "You said the same thing yesterday." ”
"It's a person, after all. Jiao Ming, a normal personality, also laughed, endured the hot and itchy soles of his feet, and some tingling sensation to walk to the side of the recliner and sit down, and asked, "Then why didn't that madman move?"
"I was stopped by Lord Blossom on the grounds that not only would the paper get wet, but it would also be blown away, which was not good for work. ”
Normal personality Jiao Ming nodded. Thinking about getting along for nearly a year, Luohua also figured out her state at this time, and when she stopped the madman's personality from messing around, as long as it was involved in work, she would achieve certain gains. And the normal personality who coexists as one knows the reason, and the madman is temporarily under the control of the personality of the silent one, and the joyful play of the role of the younger brother, you must know that theoretically speaking, the three personalities are not subordinate, everything depends only on the degree of control or determination.
Sending pen and paper from the desk space on the rooftop, while trying to disassemble Tonyche, he instructed Butterfly to write a reply, the content was also very simple, and the cumbersome format of going out at the beginning and end was just asking where to meet.
After Dieda finished writing, Jiao Ming, a normal personality, gave the new stuff to little Toniche, and due to his resistance to the spiritual instructions, it took a lot of effort to make the little guy understand that this was a messenger mission, and at the same time wondered how the little maid water heater in charge of the 'teleportation network service center' communicated smoothly with Toniche.
Seeing little Toniche running back to the corridor, Jiao Ming, a normal personality, lay down on his back, and his eyes were huge coconuts. Remember that the coconut seemed to have a lot of economic value, the canned pulp and the coconut palm brush, and a certain impressive drink advertisement. At the beginning, I begged my father to take me to see the sea, and that advertisement accounted for a lot of money, but unfortunately there were no coconut trees on the beaches in the north, and there were only many people, which was a big disappointment.
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned but his eyes were moist, and his heart was filled with homesickness. With a long sigh, he spread out his palm, and the coconut that was originally hanging high in the treetops appeared in his hand, shook it, and then tapped it gently, but he remembered that he couldn't tell whether the coconut was ripe or not. He was frowning and trying to figure out a way, but he heard Dieda sitting on another recliner next to him ask, "You want to eat this?"
"Do you see this one is ripe?"
Dieda smiled slightly and explained: "The fruits in this are different from the fruits and vegetables in the north, and they can be eaten even if they are not ripe, and the taste is not bad. ”
Jiao Ming, a normal personality, suddenly realized, dug a small hole with spatial teleportation, smelled it, tasted it again, and sure enough. Raise your head and drink the juice, then split it with a spatial crack, and divide it into eight cloves in the same way as you cut a watermelon. He made a gesture of invitation to Dieda, and then ate to himself.
"You're really ...... using magic like that," Butterfly paused, as if she couldn't find the right description for a moment.
"How?"
“...... Probably luxury. With such a precise cut, the low-ring qi magician had to rest for most of the day a few times. And ordinary people can only use a stone knife to slowly smash and cut. ”
"Thank you for the compliment, and you eat too, you're welcome. ”
Dieda picked up a petal, took a small bite, and said quietly: "I'm actually envious." ”
"Do you think of that madman's proposal again?" the normal personality asked, seeing that Dieda nodded, he still persuaded: "For the sake of acquaintances, I still advise you to be cautious, that madman is difficult to decide, and he may come up with some negative conditions." Remember the little girl named Bai Yang in Grace City, I think she was about to go crazy. ”
The corners of Dieda's mouth twitched, obviously recalling how remote and terrible the contract conditions for exchanging soul fragments were for a girl, but she was still unwilling in her heart, "But ......"
"Magic is magical, but it's nothing more than that. Believe me, what magicians can do with magic, ordinary people can do with technology. For example, this cut coconut, a kitchen knife can solve the problem. Another example is the fire magician in the first ring, which is similar to an ordinary person with a lighter. The healing and power of the water system magic warrior can also be replaced by a perfect medical system and large construction machinery, of course, the enchantment ability is still very magical, but if you make progress in material science...... "Speaking of this, Jiao Ming, a normal personality, finally woke up from talking to himself, and understood from Dieda's slightly frowning brow that the other party cared about not these future things.
After a pause to think about it, he remembered the fever that Butterfly had on the road a few days ago, although he was safe and sound under the all-weather water magic of Luohua, but normal people would understand that next time he might not be so lucky. "You want self-healing powers?"
Butterfly lowered her eyelids and nodded. At the end of winter, in Birdbeak Town, before Lord Evan's wedding, the madman personality jokingly proposed to give Dieda a piece of his soul fragment, which was a double cultivation of water and qi, which was extremely valuable. It's a pity that at that time, because Dieda belonged to Lord Evan and had a trace of illusion about Evan, she cried and refused because she didn't have time to weigh it in confusion.
And a summer is enough time to weigh the pros and cons and realize that time has changed. It's no longer the days of two years ago, when he was bought by Lord Evan because of his language talent, and he wandered around the continent. It wasn't a year ago, at the Academy of Magic, when I felt happy watching Evan and Asasa hug each other from afar.
At this time, he followed Lord Jiao Ming to the Red Mountain Kingdom as a translator, and he was left with Evan's nominal affiliation, coupled with the fact that the environment and diet in the tropics were very different, and the slightest misery was a small life, and under the threat of death, his mind changed completely.
After pondering for a moment, Jiao Ming, a normal personality, gave a suggestion: "It's better to go to Luohua, or other Central water magic warriors who have given up cultivation." I can take you to the crocodile collar to find Xiao Shi and complete the implant surgery. ”
Butterfly raised her eyes and stopped talking.
"Why?"
"Yes. ”
"Just try your best to save a few acquaintances from that madman, and don't want your life to be distorted. Of course, I also admit that a twisted life is much better than no life at all. ”
There was silence between the two men, until Toniche appeared holding a letter in reply.
"Lord Yisi, please teleport to the royal capital tonight, there are important people to meet you, and there will be no opening ceremony tomorrow morning. ”
"What important people?"
The letter didn't say anything. ”
"What happened to the Red Mountain Kingdom lately? Border war or something. ”
It's nothing to simply participate in the autumn harvest celebration, but the meaning of meeting big people is different. This kind of attitude is hot and cold, naturally because the degree of attention to Jiao Ming is changing from time to time, and the factors that cause this change are nothing more than the struggle between internal factions in the concept of development and the change of external pressure. There is no way to know the situation of factional conflict within the kingdom, and it can only be used to obtain some open external information from Evan's intelligence network for some reference.
"Two days ago, the two counts on the northeast border fought infighting, and the victory was not scored. Three days ago, there was a small victory in the daily border friction with the theocratic state of the Mother Earth God Cult. Five days ago, he won a small victory in a small friction with the Black Shell tribe in the east. ”
The normal personality Jiao Ming pondered for a moment, although he had a slight guess, but he couldn't be sure.
