Chapter 13: The First Real Contact
The Copernicus quickly flew away from Shangjing after getting the coordinates, and Fang Yunming and the others wanted to stay here
In order to show Fang Yunming's gratitude, Cheng Mingci invited Fang Yunming to stay and serve the Xia Yuan Empire, and planned to give Fang Yunming their official positions and titles.
But Fang Yunming and the others refused on the grounds that they were active soldiers of the Earth Federation, if even if Cheng Mingci didn't say anything before, those internal servants under him, the ministers would have jumped up a long time ago, and the emperor's reward for you An outsider actually refused, this is worth it, someone has already stepped forward to show their loyalty to punish Fang Yunming and them, but no one did it this time.
Of course, this is not to say that after such a war, those who smuggle their beards and horses do not exist, but these ministers are all human spirits.
They had long seen that the emperor and the eldest princess had an unusual attitude towards these outsiders, and they still didn't want to be disgusted.
However, Fang Yunming and Moon planned to communicate with Xia Yuan's side, and they planned to stay in the Xia Yuan Empire for the time being and stay as guest secretaries.
The so-called Keqing is actually a mercenary in Fang Yunming's understanding, and the reason why they did this is because they consider that if they can get the help of the Xia Yuan Empire, then they outsiders will soon be able to integrate into this society, so that they can better lay the foundation for the future.
Although Fang Yunming and the others don't know whether this foundation is useful or not, but in order to take precautions.
So Moon made this request to Cheng Mingci on behalf of himself, and Cheng Mingci naturally readily agreed, and in order to express his gratitude, Cheng Mingci wanted to hold a feast in the Diheng Hall to celebrate the repulsion of the beast and demon alliance this time, and also to welcome the guests who came from afar.
And everyone from the earth was very happy to hear that they could taste alien food, knowing that in the more than a year they flew on the spaceship, Fang Yunming and they ate all the things cooked by Nicolaus Copernicus.
You must know that our Mr. Nicolaus Copernicus, he is an artificial intelligence image existence, he does not have a taste system, so although these cooked foods are really a bit like that in appearance, they are either salty or light, and I don't know if this guy did it on purpose.
Some people may ask, since it is an artificial imaging system, then how does it cook food, in fact, it is very simple, put the food into a special container, enter the code of the cooking method of various foods, simple, fast, convenient, but how it tastes is only God knows
Therefore, everyone is still very yearning for being able to enjoy a real meal, so Fang Yunming and the others followed Cheng Mingci to the monarch and ministers from the city wall of Shangjing, in order to show their favor to Fang Yunming, Cheng Mingci invited Fang Yunming and Moon to ride with him.
Because Cheng Mingci also saw that these two people were the ones with the highest status among the more than 100 people, and Fang Yunming and they were also very interested in the means of transportation used by the ruler of the largest empire on this planet.
However, when they saw the royal ride that Cheng Mingci was riding, they were really shocked.
I saw that the huge carriage was like a small house, not to mention the three of them, even if they put more than 100 people in it, it was more than enough.
There was also the strange creature that pulled the cart, Fang Yunming asked curiously: Your Majesty, what kind of magical beast is pulling the cart?
At this time, the imperial envoy who was in charge of controlling the imperial palace stepped forward and bowed his hand and said: You are not our Xia Yuan people, so you don't know, these strange beasts are not beasts, their names are Royal Dragon Flying Cloud Beasts.
In our Zhongzhou Continent, we call them alien beasts, and in the Western continent, we call them demonic beasts, in fact, they are all about the same.
Don't underestimate them, the strength of these beasts can compete with a powerful grandmaster-level powerhouse, they are dual-line alien beasts of the wind and light systems, and they can instantly use the spells of these two systems.
Don't look at the dragon in their name, but they have nothing to do with the dragons, and the only imaginary place between the two is that their bodies are covered with huge scales.
After introducing these eight imperial beasts, Cheng Mingci invited Fang Yunming and Moon to board the car by himself, and at this time, there were 1,200 Feiyunwei around the imperial beast.
These 1,200 Feiyun guards were all royal guards, they were dressed in bright armor and held various instruments for honor guards in their hands.
Originally, Xia Yuan's Feiyun Guard was served by the powerful Flying Tiger Knight, but later after the Flying Tiger Knight withdrew from the military system of the Xia Yuan Empire, it was served by the Pegasus Knight.
But later, there were only five hundred Pegasus knights left, and the number was seriously insufficient, so the Pegasus knights also withdrew from Feiyunwei, so the current Feiyunwei is served by some robe warlocks who specialize in the wind system.
Don't look at them in bright armor and holding glittering ceremonial weapons in their hands, but in reality the armor is not metal, and none of the weapons are metal.
Because metal armor and weapons affect the condensation of the elements, these things are all posturing.
Fang Yunming and the others could see it at a glance as professional soldiers, but they didn't take it seriously.
After all, they didn't know much about everything about the Xia Yuan Empire, and they were shocked by the appearance of the Xia Yuan Empire.
But the stronger this shocking feeling, the more confused they became, why did such a powerful country allow aliens to attack its capital?
Is this country a state of ruin? If so, should my own people stay and help them?
When Fang Yunming and Moon followed Cheng Mingci to board the car, they were shocked by the luxury of this huge car.
The skeleton of this chariot was made of an unknown material (Fang Yunming didn't know that it was made of the bones of a powerful wind system demonic beast at this time), and the surrounding curtains were all made of fine silk, and the silk was embroidered with the performance of the kings of the past dynasties in large-scale wars.
The roof of the car is embroidered with the sun, moon and stars, mountains and rivers geography, these are the special patterns of the Xia Yuan royal family, and the ground of the carriage is covered with a good velvet carpet, and the carpet is embroidered with various patterns of warcraft.
The main color of the entire body is bright yellow, which is the exclusive color of the royal family.
The whole car showed the royal dignity and luxury everywhere, but in this luxury, Fang Yunming and Moon still saw a slight flaw.
That is, the drapery, the carpet and all the embroidery look old, so to speak, this is an item from many years ago, and it stands to reason that this should not be the case as a royal object.
However, these were all in Fang Yunming's eyes but in their hearts, and they planned to learn more about this country and nation to assess whether it was necessary for them to stay and help.
When Fang Yunming and the others got into the car with Cheng Mingci, Cheng Mingci smiled and said to the two of them: The two of you sit tightly, follow me to accept the cheers of all the people.
The two of them were very curious about how such a huge car flew up, and at this time, the driver of the car bowed down and asked, "Your Majesty, are you ready?"
Cheng Mingci inquired and looked at Fang Yunming and them, the two nodded, so Cheng Mingci ordered: It's okay.
So the pilot tapped the heads of the dragon flying cloud beasts a few times with a cane in his hand, and after the pilot finished clicking, he saw the eight beasts running forward quickly for a few steps and then suddenly soaring into the air.
Fang Yunming and the others clearly felt that as the few strange beasts pulling the cart were running, they slowly spread their huge wings covered with scales.
When the wings were spread out, Fang Yunming and the others slowly felt that the bottom of the car seemed to form a huge wind force to lift the carriage upward.
When the eight beasts fully spread their wings, the whole car also rose into the sky.
And the more than 1,000 Feiyun guards who had been guarding both sides of the car also followed the auspicious clouds into the sky with their feet, which made Fang Yunming and them feel even more surprised.
Are these people really legendary gods? Stepping on the glowing clouds, they flew up.
This was simply amazing for them from Earth, and at this time, something that surprised them even more happened, that is, whoever was with the emperor, the civil and military ministers could also fly against the wind and follow closely behind the chariot.
Moon said in amazement in English next to him: "Ohmygod, sir, are these people the immortals in your Chinese legends?"
Fang Yunming also opened his mouth wide and shook his head in amazement, because he didn't know what kind of world he had come to, which was simply inexplicable in the education he had received for so many years.
The gravitational pull of this planet is indeed smaller than that of the earth, but this difference is almost negligible, at least Fang Yunming and they can't feel it.
If there is such a thing as gravity on this planet, why are they able to break free from the shackles of gravity on this planet and fly into the sky? Is there something they don't understand that leads these people to fly?
And what surprised Fang Yunming even more was that the beautiful elf princess they came into contact with when they came to this planet was actually stepping on a sword and who was driving with them.
Around her were Fang Yunming's men, and the fifth-generation exoskeleton armor was equipped with intelligent boosters, which could allow the people wearing him to fly freely in the sky, but their flying posture was far worse than that of others.
People were flying upright as if they were strolling in the air, but when they looked at their group again, it was as if they were lying in the air, and even Fang Yunming and the others felt ugly when they looked at it.
But there is no way, everyone is flying in the sky, their subordinates can not walk on the ground, listen to the people around them, the capital is very huge, the reason why the emperor and civil and military officials are used in the air is to save time, if you rely on the foot or take the car, then I don't know when you will be able to enter the inner city of the imperial city.
Fang Yunming and the others decided that they must have more contact with these people, understand their culture and civilization, and know why they looked so powerful on the outside, but they were attacked by those barbarians to the capital.
These were not what Fang Yunming and they wanted to know the most, what Fang Yunming wanted to know most was how these people were able to get rid of the shackles of nature and have such a powerful supernatural power.
Moreover, Fang Yunming and the others still need to know whether these people are really powerful, or if they just have an appearance.
Moreover, Fang Yunming and the others also need to know their views on foreign civilizations, which they urgently need to know at the moment, so let's start with this first contact.
