Chapter 170: The Little Girl Who Sells Toys
……
Gary had just taken a seat in the hall with the Chancellor of the Exchequer when an attendant brought two cups of tea and placed them in front of them. Then Liu Liangbi, dressed in a silver-gray butler uniform, appeared and politely greeted the two for tea.
Gary followed the example of a butler, picked up the teacup, and took a sip. He had never drunk tea before, and at first he was very uncomfortable with the bitter taste, but after two sips, he gradually found some feeling and savored it.
The Golden Dome is the royal residence, and Gary has not been here before, so everything here can be said to be very familiar.
But now, Gary sat on the familiar sofa, looking at the layout of the hospitality hall, and he was a little overwhelmed.
The silver-blue metal dining table is covered with a light blue tablecloth and embellished with pots of green unknown plants, and the place where the tapestry used to hang has been replaced by a waterfall of green vines, and the shelf where the artwork was originally placed now has a delicate pot of pink flower trees.
Obviously, there are not too many changes, but under the light golden light, the hospitality hall is not restored to the original golden brilliance, but more vivid and warm, especially the green vines on the wall, which is even more refreshing.
"Keep you two waiting."
A light and gentle voice came, and Gary subconsciously stood up and looked at where the voice came from.
Today, Rayong did not wear a blue-patterned robe, but changed into his usual clothes, a moon-white gown. Although he does not have the elegance of the wide robe and large sleeves, the slim cut makes his figure more upright.
The design of the placket is somewhat similar to the dressing style of the Marfa Empire, although there are no elaborate metal decorations, but the gold dark lines are faintly revealed when you walk around. But it is also extraordinary.
Even the Marfa Empire, who has always admired burly figures. I also have to admit that Rayong looks good in this outfit. It's not just good-looking. And eye-catching.
In fact, Rayong has always felt that this dress is too sassy and he didn't want to wear it. But he also discovered in the past two days that the people of the Marfa Empire prefer bright colors in their clothes, and they are also decorated with flowers.
Compared with them, many of his clothes seem too plain, but this one has an unexpected effect. The people who made the Marfa Empire generally burly and darker-skinned. Wearing white can't be suppressed at all.
Rayong sat down on the sofa, leaned on the back of the chair casually, took the teacup handed by the butler, took a shallow sip, and the golden broken hair fell on his forehead, reflecting the light green tea soup, giving birth to a sense of tranquility.
Gary watched Rayong's flowing movements, and it took a long time for him to come back to his senses.
With a wry smile, Gary sat down again, and said embarrassedly, "Father said you were going to walk around." Let me be the company. ”
"It's your pass and consumption card." The Chancellor of the Exchequer took a box from his subordinate and placed it on the table. Inside was a box of passes and a bright red card.
Some of those passes were given to him, and some were given to his subordinates, and that card, after learning the role of the card, Rayong couldn't help but feel extremely hot.
If he really is Allen. Lucas is just that, no matter what the emperor thinks, he can deal with it. But he is not, in case something accidentally goes wrong and the emperor knows the truth, it is absolutely impossible to let him go easily.
But he can't help but accept it, and if he is timid now, it will be easier to arouse suspicion.
Sighing again in his heart, Rayong accepted the card with a flat expression and said, "Thank you Your Majesty for me." ”
After the Chancellor of the Exchequer finished delivering his things, he left, leaving only Gary behind, ready to hang out with Rayong.
At Rayong's request, Gary changed out of the bright red robe that represented the royal status and dressed himself as an ordinary rich kid.
After that, the two of them took only a few guards and set off.
The surface of the capital star retains its pure primitive appearance and is full of wild interest, while in the air, there are huge floating cities all over the sky, undertaking all the accommodation and trade.
The black airship skimmed the sky, swept over the vast plains covered with flowers, skimmed over the mountains, and landed on a floating city that Rayong had appointed at will.
This floating city is inconspicuous on the Capital Star, but it is still much larger than the one on the Green Starfish.
They sat on this airship this time, even if it was very simple compared to Huofeng, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it was still a luxury.
Therefore, when the airship landed, it was inevitably surrounded by onlookers.
However, both Rayong and Gary are accustomed to this kind of scene, and even the guards behind them can keep their faces unchanged after such a long period of training.
Leaving the mooring platform in the lower city, there was no eye-catching airship, and a few people were not eye-catching, and soon blended into the endless flow of people.
In Luo Yong's view, this floating city has a sense of science and technology in both shape and layout, which is very in line with the fantasy of human beings on earth for future science and technology.
According to Gary, every tall building here is a complete community, with medical care, shopping, and entertainment venues. Each community is independent of each other, but not completely separate, with a pier in the sky and a mooring platform underground.
Residents who want to go out to distant places must use the flying car, and if they do not have one, they can apply to the central system of the floating city to rent the flying car. The flight path of each flying car is designated by the central system, and it cannot exceed the speed limit, cannot cross the line, and there will be electronic police supervision on the way.
As they walked, there were speeding cars whistling overhead, and electronic monitoring points flashing red in the sky would send a speeding warning every now and then.
The place where they are now is the shopping area in the middle of the floating city, and on both sides of the wide road, there are all kinds of shops, and electronic billboards cast holographic advertising projections on the road, like real movie and television stars with sweet, pure or enchanting voices, soliciting business for merchants.
Pedestrians walk through holographic projections.
Such a scene is very novel and shocking in Rayong's opinion.
When the inheritance of the "Faun Formula" was interrupted, the technological civilization in the stars was just emerging, and it was far less powerful than it is now. Seeing the prosperous scene in front of him, Luo Yong had to admit that in terms of the living standards of the people at the bottom, the scientific and technological civilization is indeed much stronger than the cultivation civilization.
No matter what kind of civilization it is, there are only a handful of truly strong people after all.
It is no wonder that scientific and technological civilization can benefit ordinary people and fully guarantee their lives, so it is no wonder that it will develop so rapidly.
was just hanging out, Rayong's mentality was also very relaxed, and while sighing, he suddenly found a circle of people on the side of the road.
On a whim, Rayong squeezed in with people.
In the center of the crowd, a little girl in a white dress was throwing a few orange-red beads into the air.
I saw her fingers dancing flexibly, and the beads in her hands sometimes flew into the sky in a string, sometimes fell to the ground, and then bounced back in an instant, and the beads danced into an orange-red light and shadow, which was not much better than a professional acrobat.
Suddenly, the little girl made a gesture, and suddenly a flame rose neatly from the beads in the sky, and a cheer rang out all around.
In the midst of the cheers, the little girl took back the beads, saluted the crowd of onlookers, and began to introduce the beads in her hand, hoping that the onlookers would buy some back.
There were a few people in the crowd who bought a few beads, but there weren't many of them. The little girl was not depressed, but kept smiling and thanking her.
Luo Yong pulled a person next to him who seemed to know and asked, only to know that the little girl had been here for several days in order to raise money for her brother's treatment. The orange-red beads, called flame beads, are a popular toy for children, and it takes a whole box to sell a whole box to get enough credits for a healing potion.
At this time, Luo Yong noticed that there was still a box at the little girl's feet, and there was still a small half of the beads left in it. And on the little girl, there is also a leather chain, and at the other end of the chain is a little milk baby, which is now floating in the air and laughing happily.
However, this little milk baby looks white and chubby, not like she is sick at all, but the little girl looks a little thin and her face is a little pale.
Before Rayong could ask, Gary next to him suddenly burst out in surprise and said, "No, the empire's protection of minors has always been in place, housing and nutrition are provided for free, even if the money for medical treatment is not enough, you can apply for a medical loan, how can this happen?" ”
There was someone next to him who knew the specific situation, and when he heard the words, he said: "Who said it wasn't~ It's also this little girl who is unlucky, her brother made a mistake when injecting the energy catalyst, and his body is broken, and it is said that he needs to inject a therapeutic agent every month to live, even if he grows up, he can't work." In this case, I can't even apply for a medical loan. It is up to the little girl to figure it out on her own. ”
When applying for a medical loan, you need to confirm that the child has the ability to repay the job in the future, or has an adult to guarantee it, so that the application can be successful. The current situation obviously does not meet the above two situations.
At this moment, even Gary stopped talking.
Although Rayong was sympathetic to the little girl's situation, the little girl was a member of the Marfa Empire after all, and he was not to the point of overflowing sympathy.
The reason why he asked so carefully was not because of anything else, but because of the flame bead called a toy.
In the little girl's hand just now, the flame bead did indeed rise into flames, although the flame was so small that even a child could not be hurt, but it made Luo Yong interested in the principle of action of the flame bead.
When he used flames against blue-veined snails before, Rayong found them useful. If you can get the war pet to develop this ability, there will definitely be a significant increase in attack power.
If he wasn't mistaken, when the little girl made that gesture, there was a faint fluctuation of energy, maybe it had something to do with the flame.
