Chapter 20: Good Gathering and Good Dispersion (I)

Twenty days later, the royal palace of Knossos, the royal garden full of flowers and green grass

Doraemon, Cairol, and King Minos sat together in the little gazebo, smiling and sipping juices, eating snacks, and playing with all kinds of gadgets.

-- After several days of exciting "indoor travel", King Minos's originally sluggish mental state apparently improved greatly. As for the body that has been suffering for a long time, it has already been cured by Doraemon's wonderful hands.

So, after overcoming the last bit of psychological obstacle and being persuaded by Carol, this sick young man finally had the courage to really step out of the deep palace, bask in the warm sun of the Mediterranean, and breathe a few breaths of fresh air blown by the sea breeze.

Even the personal officials who served King Minos now have no objection to letting the little king out to breathe - in the past two days, they have followed the hologram experience, and traveled indoors together, what Egyptian deserts, East African steppes, Southeast Asian rainforests, Siberian tundra, the vast waves of the Atlantic, the ice and snow of the Antarctic and the Arctic, and the wonderful scenery on the moon and Mars, all of them, they are basically numb from being frightened and frightened every day, Now it's just to let the king sit in the royal garden, what's the matter?

Before leaving the dormitory, Minos still felt a little sorry, because today I am afraid that I will not be able to continue to use that magical machine to see those unheard of scenery - the scenery of his own imperial garden, he has long been tired of seeing. Who knew that after it really came out, it was more fun.

――In the cellar-like palace before, Doraemon couldn't use a lot of props due to the size of the space. After arriving in the spacious imperial garden, all kinds of strange props were put out in piles, such as [strip submarine], [shock gun] that can stun animals without hurting fur, and all kinds of wonderful chess and card games. Especially the [Bamboo Dragonfly] that can make people fly freely in the air, which makes the delicate Minos King envious, and shouts that he wants one too.

So, Doraemon had no choice but to explain that [Bamboo Dragonfly] This thing looks simple, but it is very dangerous to use, and if you are not skilled, you may break your neck as long as you are not careful, so it is not recommended to use it for beginners and infirm. At the same time, he took out a [human-powered pedal airplane], which is said to be the most popular children's toy in the 22nd century, and let a self-proclaimed brave and strong guard sit in it to practice how to fly...... As a result, this thing is indeed worthy of the difficulty of children's toys, and in just one morning, all the palace maids and guards in the imperial garden flew into the sky happily.

In the end, Minos, who looked up to the sky and saw a sore neck, finally realized his dream of flying, and went to the sky with his longing Nile daughter - but what was more humiliating was that due to his long-term illness and lack of physical fitness, it was only Carol who stepped on the pedal board and flew with Minos, which made this sullen little man feel a little awkward...... But looking at Jin Meiren's hearty laughter, the little entanglement in his heart disappeared with the wind.

I have to admit that Doraemon, a cat-type household childcare machine, is indeed very good at training ♂ children. Even a useless bastard like Nobita can make this blue-skinned cat ♂ trained to become a high-level elite civil servant bureaucrat of the Japanese Ministry of the Environment, as well as a hero who has saved n worlds. The heart of the man is more difficult than that of Nobita, and the former seems to be more difficult to do than the latter. Not to mention a good boy like King Minos, who was both sensible and polite - although he was sick from an early age, it was difficult to go out, and he could not participate in physical exercise, but Minos's thirst for knowledge was still strong, and his cultural learning never lagged behind, and his speech demeanor and book knowledge were enough to be called a scholar in this era. Take Doraemon's words, it can almost be compared with Demu Sugi-kun (an excellent academic model in "Machine Qì Cat", I don't know if you still have an impression).

So, looking at the endless stream of new gadgets in Doraemon's pocket, Minos was really like a rat falling into Mitun. There were also some entertaining and educational games, as well as Doraemon's casual remarks about new knowledge, which he also learned with great hunger, and even if he did not understand it for a while, he wrote it down on papyrus or clay tablets so that he could ponder it later...... For a while, I actually lived more and more energetically.

On the other hand, looking at her son's radiant eyes, increasingly ruddy face, and hearty and cheerful laughter, the Queen Mother was also moved to tears, and turned around and ordered to be generous to all benefactors, and give everything she had...... As a result, the animals in the palace of Minos suffered the same as the crocodiles in the Egyptian palace - according to Wang Qiu's experience summed up in practice for a while, all kinds of wild animals seem to be the most cost-effective pawns at the moment: don't you see a small wild crocodile, which can't be exchanged for a bronze knife in this year, but it is enough to sell for tens of thousands of yuan in modern times?

Although there are no crocodiles on Crete, as the earliest maritime overlord in human history, maritime merchants and navigators from various countries have paid tribute to the Minoan royal family over the years in order to please the court and seek shelter.

For example, at this moment, Wang Qiu, who was staying in another corner of the Imperial Garden, was watching Doraemon, Carroll, and King Minos play happily in the distance, while teasing a dark blue parrot with great interest—this parrot was perched on an elaborate wooden frame, its whole body was bright blue, but the throat and chest were snow-white, and there were light-colored radial feathers on the top of its head, which was particularly distinctive. At the moment, this chubby bird has been fed quite tame by the palace maids丨When Wang Qiu approached with an unknown flower, he still ended the chatter with his compatriots with a lot of face, jumped over, and after sucking away the nectar with his slender tongue, he chirped the dark orange beak a few times very cutely, and narrowed his beanie eyes into a satisfied expression.

Although this kind of honey-absorbing parrot looks very beautiful, due to the narrow diet, it has become endangered in the twentieth century, and is basically extinct on all continents of the world, leaving only a few species remaining on the islands of the South Pacific...... If you are a veteran biologist or an avid environmentalist, you would have been dancing and screaming with excitement after seeing such a flock of rare birds.

But in the eyes of Wang Qiu, who lacks both love and environmental awareness, this is just a bunch of walking banknotes.

Anyway, he just calmly grabbed the little bird, stuffed it into the [automatic pawn machine], and then counted the stack of bills that spit out inside.

- Well, I really don't understand elegance at all, and I can call it a burning harp and boiling cranes.

“…… 200,000 yen? It doesn't seem to be as valuable as you think," he smacked his lips and muttered with some dissatisfaction, as he looked to the other corners of the Imperial Garden, "...... Fortunately, there are still many silly birds in this garden...... Well, that pot of flowers seems to be quite precious......"

- Alas, may God willing, that after this catastrophe, there will be a few weeds left in the royal garden of the palace of Minoa......

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In addition to playing with the children and scraping the ground in a regular manner, there have been other news on Crete in the past few days.

First, after the Mycenaean spies had uncovered the conspiracy of Mycenaean spies to poison the king's "miracle medicine" in advance, the terrified Queen Mother immediately ordered martial law throughout the country and the whole territory was exclaimed. Unexpectedly, not only did they uncover the Mycenaean spy network, but also a rebellious conspiracy of Athenian laborers (at that time, all of Greece was theoretically a jurisdiction of Crete, and each city-state was a vassal to the Minoan royal family). But in fact, at most, it was just like the Holy Roman Empire, fighting each other for three days, and there was basically no such luxury as loyalty), and even even caught the Hittite prince Izmi, who was inciting the Athenians to revolt, on the spot

Izmi, how should you describe this guy? Well, this gentleman is a beautiful silver man who thinks he is very sensible and looks like a prince, but in fact he is quite brain-dead, and he is also an important villain in the original book of "Daughter of the Nile" - in general, his relationship with Carol is very similar to Tom and Jerry in "Cat and Mouse", which is really a natural enemy and sadomasochistic ...... Since his debut, the prince has left the affairs of the country behind, and has been spending his days abroad as a spy and leading a group of people abroad, chasing the ass of the Nile daughter.

In the original plot, he kidnapped Kelol from Egypt, Assyria and other places again and again, and even did not hesitate to anger the king of Egypt and rashly provoked a large-scale war between Egypt and the Hittites. Next, the prince, who is the first supporting actor, actually fell in love with Carol for a long time, and even confessed to her and courted her, and then tortured her in various ways, tried to force her to submit with violence, and also installed henchmen around Carol to monitor her at all times. But again and again, Carol managed to escape and return to the arms of the Egyptian king Memphis......

So, the brainless and unlucky silver prince had no choice but to laugh at himself and say that it didn't matter if the daughter of the Nile became the princess of Egypt, and if she could take the princess and cuckold the king of Egypt, she would definitely have a greater sense of accomplishment...... At the same time, he continued to bother to tie Carole back.

Now, this time, he also heard the news that the Nile Daughter was going to the kingdom of Minoa, and like a moth to a fire, he couldn't wait to cross the sea from Asia Minor in an attempt to attack Kairol again...... As a result, as soon as he entered the country, he was caught by the Minoan army, which was like a great enemy, and he was also captured, and he was unfortunately reduced to a prisoner. Thanks to this product, he immediately revealed the identity of the crown prince, so he didn't suffer much in the black prison.

Alas, speaking of which, as the crown prince of a large country in West Asia, it may be your duty to lead the army to the war, and it is normal to participate in diplomatic mediation, and it is not impossible to even preside over counter-espionage work in China, but throughout the ages, how can there be such a thing as a dignified crown prince, the only heir, to infiltrate the enemy country to be a spy? Is this because the Hittite king didn't take this son seriously and deliberately wanted to abolish the prince? Or had the Hittite kingship fallen to such a level?

Fortunately, the Kingdom of Minoa was not Egypt, and was not at war with the Hittites for the time being. In the absence of actual damage, the ruling queen mother did not intend to offend the powerful neighbor of the Hittite Empire. So after verifying his identity, the queen mother just found a post house for Prince Izmi and put him under house arrest, and planned to take advantage of the festival in a few days to symbolically set up a banquet to entertain this troublemaker, and then beat him back.

In this regard, although General Unas, who is the captain of the Egyptian guard, is a little unwilling and wants to take the opportunity to cut down the old enemy of Izmi, but seeing that the innocent and kind Princess Carol has no such intentions, and now that she is on someone else's land, she has to put down this thought, and she doesn't dare to talk nonsense.

Secondly, because King Minos was too happy playing [Indoor Travel Machine] in the palace, he completely forgot to take Carol for a ride on a boat according to the original plot, so naturally he would not be unlucky to encounter a pirate ship. And a certain minotaur hiding in a grotto by the sea was very embarrassed and lost the opportunity to appear. As an avid archaeology enthusiast, Carole also did not have the opportunity to see the Minoa Naval Base on the volcanic island in person.

Third, Carol, who has been staying in the Minoa Palace to play, although she was still tricked into the labyrinth under the palace by a female official who was jealous of her as in the original plot, but as soon as she lost her way, the golden chick quickly used the radio intercom to contact the traversers for help, and was rescued by Doraemon with magical props a moment later, thus missing the opportunity to meet a minotaur again.

In the end, although the bullfighting competition in the city of Knossos went on as usual, under the full support of the traverser, Carol did not suffer a major disaster, and was caught up by the crazy bullfighting, and the visiting Amazon queen also lost the opportunity to "beautiful women save beautiful women...... The whole bullfighting performance passed calmly, but it made Carol excited for a long time, and he took hundreds of photos as a souvenir.

After such a series of tosses, the plot of the Minoa Kingdom of "Daughter of the Nile" has been turned upside down by the traversers unconsciously. And the total points displayed on Wang Qiu's "Book of Traveling" easily rose to as much as 45,500 points.

Unfortunately, they have not yet found the lost traverser, Mr. Zhang Daniu, and can only hope for the Egyptian side.

And even more regrettable, even if they have scavenged three feet into the ground, the amount of money they have raised in this world is still far from enough to pay off Doraemon's huge debt of 18 billion...... Just as Wang Qiu finished catching the honey parrot in the imperial garden and was thinking about what to pawn next, a charming female voice suddenly sounded in his ears:

“…… Honorable sir, another batch of seafood has just arrived in the palace, and the Queen Mother ordered that it be sent to you. Need to take inventory? ”
