War is not a thing that lasts long in the age of cold weapons. In December, the Nishino Country is winter, but the climate is not too cold.

Nevertheless, the question of whether the war should continue to extend into enemy territory was confirmed in a large council with many lords, and the answer was no.

Most of the lords believe that it is not easy to venture deep at this time, and the enemy still has a non-negligible advantage over their side, that is, the moon god, and their own sun god no longer knows where he has been lost and has not been able to contact him.

No one would dare to say, 'Will the sun god die?'" This is a big taboo, so I can only close the door and talk to myself in the room.

In addition to the fear of the luna, another excuse to stop the expansion war is the New Year.

In most countries, the 1st of January New Year is true, and moderates in the military believe that the sergeants should not want to spend the year in a foreign land. There is still half a month before the Chinese New Year, so at least during this period is not suitable for sending troops.

After the meeting, Tiddlelem called Zhou Shu to her room again, Zhou Shu was talking to the sick princess on the phone, and was forced to stop being greasy and crooked with a queen to deal with another queen.

"Those moderates, this one is also afraid, that one is also afraid, why are you not afraid that my brother will die without turning a blind eye!!"

Tiddlelime lost his temper and thrashed at an innocent cushion.

"Chinese New Year......" Zhou Shu listened to the reason of the Lord and the faction, and was also a rare reminder that he should go back to his hometown. "Since there is no war, then I will go home again, and go back for the New Year. "It's only New Year's Day.

"Not good!" Tiddle was frightened by the news, and hurriedly threw off the seat cushion and threw himself in front of Zhou Shu.

She has been thinking about spending the New Year with Zhou Shu since two weeks ago. According to the traditions of Nishinokuni. It is not advisable to go out during the New Year's Festival, so there is no need to hold any celebrations, which is the work of the third day after the New Year. The two days of the New Year are usually spent at home and not going anywhere, which is exactly what Tiddlelime needs.

Zhou Shu has now learned how to speak hard against this woman, after all, in the future, he wants to let this guy listen to his own words, so as to control the country. You'll have to learn to call the shots to the Queen this morning.

So Zhou Shu made a rare face, stared at Tiddlelem's eyes, and said briefly, "No." "Kind of rejected her.

Tiddlelime was so fierce that he couldn't help but bite his lower lip and lower his eyebrows and say 'I'm sorry'.

Zhou Shu always felt that he had overdrawn some of this guy's trust in himself just now, and looking at her aggrieved appearance, his heart still couldn't be hardened. So he then talked about some of his own Chinese New Year customs, such as family reunions. No matter how far away you are, you have to return to your hometown, and some things that are hard to find for a train ticket for the Spring Festival.

Tiddlelem naturally didn't understand half-understood, so in order not to appear too ignorant, she had to prove herself with the word 'oh' as she listened.

It's actually a pity to say that I play these weekly books, because it means that I shouldn't have a reason to go back to the Spring Festival in February, but it shouldn't be difficult to make one.

The calendar of the West Country is not very advanced, and this year alone is one day longer than Bai Yueguo and Zhou Shu's hometown, so he can go home a day earlier.

Tiddlelem promised to let him go. But there was some discomfort in my heart, and I was muttering on the side. said that he had no one to protect him, and he was going to hide underground for the New Year, and if he was lucky, he might not be killed by the moon god.

"......" Zhou Shu was speechless, although it was obvious that the words were just a girl throwing a tantrum, but it was particularly pitiful when it came out of Tiddlele's mouth.

Just when Zhou Shu was a little ruthless and wanted to stay with this angry bag. One of the guards conveys that Honeytea Turrell wants to see the Queen.

It's been a long time since the little magician has been in front of Zhou Shu and Tiddlelem, and she's been busy making firearms lately, so naturally the results aren't good.

Honeytea Turrell's title of 'unparalleled in the world' is not a self-proclaimed one, their Tosu Island is the only place in the entire continent including the surrounding islands where magicians are born, and she is a genius in her own right. The title of Peerless in the World was an honor bestowed upon her by the magicians of the island.

The reason why she is said to be a genius has nothing to do with magical talent, and it seems that the magicians here have not yet discovered that there is still a word for 'talent' among magicians. Honeytea Turrell is nothing more than a simple bookworm, having read all seven hundred magic foundations at a young age, and can be said to be familiar with all known magic.

Due to the closed world and the scarcity of magicians, magic developed very slowly, still in the Stone Age. The confident Honey Tea Turrell always thought that everything Zhou Shu took out was related to magic, and thought that he could handle it, so he very unfortunately, he picked a gun and wanted to copy it, and then crashed into the south wall.

"Is she finally idle?" Tiddlerum heard that Turrell asked to see her, and the whole person was in a much better mood, and Zhou Shu saw her cloudy and sunny appearance, and decided to go home for New Year's Day in a wavering mood.

Strictly speaking, New Year's Day is a foreign festival, using a foreign calendar and has religious overtones. New Year's Day originally referred to the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar, and later changed to the first day of January of the Gregorian calendar, that is, the matter of the Republic of China, which was localized, and the treatment was much better than that of other foreign festivals.

Honeytea Turrell came to the queen this time to ask for leave, and she wanted to leave tomorrow to return to her hometown of Tosu Island for the New Year.

"......" Tiddlelem wanted to cry without tears.

Zhou Shu looked at Honeytea Turrell who had a dirty face and didn't know how long it had been since he had washed his face, and suddenly wanted to know what the smell on her body was like now. Is it stinky, or is it still sweet and delicious?

The Crescent Harbor has now been reclaimed, the original inhabitants are being relocated, and the entire port is being rebuilt. But of course, it can no longer be called a port, and there is no sea.

Honeytea Turrell wanted to go home from Crescent Harbor and then rode a horse for ten days. It is said that Tosu Island to the port of Crescent has found a relatively easy road to walk, which can be used by livestock, and most of the rest of the area is rugged and difficult to walk, and people have no place to walk and horses have nowhere to put their hooves.

Tiddlelime was angry and didn't want anyone in the room to leave. Zhou Shu also had no eyesight on the side, and failed to observe the queen's resentment, and said to Honeytea Turrell: "I can send you back, you don't have to leave so early." Don't you want to fly? It's okay to give you a ride. ”

"Want to fly?" Honeytea Turrell frowned, "Did I say that?"

Tiddle Rim was about to collapse, saying that the one who wanted to fly to the sky to see it was obviously himself!!

Out of the Queen's reserve. She decided to go back to her room and go to bed, even though it wasn't dinner time yet. She felt like she would cry if she stayed here any longer.

Zhou Shu and Miss Honey Tea were kicked out, and the two shrugged, not knowing what kind of temper Tiddle Lime was experiencing.

Honeytea Turrell was very happy that Zhou Shu could send her, "Are you sure you won't go wrong, can you really arrive on the day before the New Year?"

Zhou Shu nodded, deliberately made do with her, and sniffed the smell of her body.

It's sweet, and I always feel that the sweet and greasy taste is stronger.

Freedom Eagle and Nati are reluctant to return to the White Moon Country. The two hate the New Year, and they are too lazy to toss around. Anyway, it's a three-to-five-day holiday, and it's the same everywhere.

The two of them are combat heroes of the same level as Zhou Shu, and they are the heroes who annihilated 50,000 enemies with the strength of the three of them, and now they have lived in the palace arrogantly and lasciviously for so long, and they have become lazy.

When Zhou Shu found them, it was dinner time, and the two of them were lying on the recliner, being fed by the little girl one bite at a time. Someone else pinched their feet.

It was the first time he had heard that there was a master in the palace, and he could see the gestures and the expressions on the faces of the two guys who were pinched. It seems to be quite professional.

"Are you sure you're staying here all the time? Then I'll go back alone, and leave you alone. ”

The two of them waved their hands at Zhou Shu in ignorance, which could already be regarded as giving him the answer-

On the day before the New Year, Zhou Shu called Alyusha, who was catching rabbits everywhere, and asked her to help give him and Miss Honey Tea a ride. Aleusha hung his 'shuttle' badge on his bracelet and then grabbed the two of them in the palace garden and took them into the air. Superman flew away.

Tiddlelem, who was watching from the garden, was envious, she had been hesitating for the past few days, she wanted to go to his hometown with Zhou Shu to have a look, reason made her not pay attention to this absurdity.

Now that she saw Honeytea Turrell flying with Zhou Shu in the sky, she felt that it would be better for her to be less rational.

Tosu Island is located in the southwest of Nishinokuni. Miss Honey Tea didn't know how to give directions, so she could only give a general direction. Aleusha is indeed many times more reliable than the Gray Witch, and he casually threw hundreds of Mithril balls to help find them, and found Tosu Island in less than twenty minutes after taking off.

Regrettably, however, the island is currently in deep trouble......

"Fire?!Black smoke?!"

The entire pier on the east side of Tosu Island was surrounded by fire, and the black smoke was billowing out, and it was obvious that there was fuel from it, which had a flame retardant effect.

Once again, the reliable place of Aleusha is on display. The witch of heat and metal, the heat here doesn't have to be hot, she just waved her hand casually, and it was very light to make the joyful flames on the whole island become cold, and then disappear.

Honey Tea Turrell looked at the big sister beside her like a fairy, and for the first time felt that her title of unparalleled in the world seemed a little ridiculous.

Landing on the island, Zhou Shu found that he or Aleusha had arrived just in time. Without the help of the ocean, the island has now lost all its natural hazards and has become a rather steep hill. The residents of the area have built steps in the part that was originally sunk to the bottom of the sea, so it is easier to climb the mountain.

These steps also led a group of thieves who had evolved from pirates to robbers into this island with little military defense.

"It's really going to kill you. Zhou Shu covered Honeytea Turrell's eyes and didn't let her look at the scene in front of her. Miss Honey Tea was also very cooperative, closing her eyes.

It seems that the thieves took advantage of the fact that everyone was staying at home on New Year's Eve, and swaggered into Tosu Island to rob it.

In Zhou Shu, their behavior seems to be 'capture', and it is by no means as simple as ordinary banditry. The men seemed to have only just started their work, and some fat thieves with slow legs were still climbing the long stone staircase.

Their scope of work is also relatively narrow, dousing fire oil, setting fires, and then killing people who escape from the house. Burning down a house is really rare, for robbers. Normally they wouldn't have done this before they ransacked it, as if they knew there was nothing of value in the house.

At this time, all the occupants of the entire port were killed. The robbers were stunned when they saw the flames that had suddenly been extinguished, and they didn't know what was going on. At their feet, there were the corpses of the islanders everywhere, probably nearly a hundred dead.

Zhou Shu casually conjured some falcons and hounds and let them move freely, as long as they were standing people. Just bite it to death.

Alyusha was very envious of Zhou Shu's magic, "Seriously. She smiled at Zhou Shu and said, "If I were you, I wouldn't be involved with me." This magic of yours is really attractive to the living people, why don't you go and work for them?"

Zhou Shu didn't have the heart to answer these questions at such a time, so a swarm of very poisonous wasps was thrown out again.

The number of robbers who landed is not very large, about two hundred and fifty people, leave those animals alone, and soon they can all be dealt with.

Zhou Shu rarely started killing people without paying attention, and today is an exception.

After dealing with most of the bandits. The summons were withdrawn, and the islanders farther away saw the black smoke from the pier before, so they grabbed their farming tools and ran to support.

What they saw were corpses all over the ground, some of their own, who had been hacked to death with sharp weapons, and some of the robbers, whose corpses were full of signs of being gnawed by wild beasts.

Zhou Shu protected Honeytea Turrell and sent her to the islanders. It seems that everyone on the island knows her. Their names were called. Turrell is much stronger than Zhou Shu imagined, after all, she is the one in Crescent Harbor Square. The guy who dares to go against a large group of residents who are frightened by the god of calamity is not an ordinary fragile girl.

"It's the robbers, and my friend helped to get rid of them. Turrell said this to an elder-like man, without any suspicion, and the islanders who had arrived accepted it.

Zhou Shu and Aleusha, as benefactors, were received by the islanders. The two didn't want to waste that time. But Turrell wanted them to sit on the side of the house, so she followed—

Tosu Island has been plagued by pirates for a long time, and the island is defense-free from attacks from the sea, and as long as the pirates don't land, they have a way to deal with them.

Every pirate wants a rich island to be their base. Tosu Island has no money, but that's because of the residents, and the people here aren't too materialistic. If you just look at the island, you can see very high-quality apples all year round, and the climate is perfect and there is plenty of space.

The pirates have not been able to conquer Tosu Island when the sea is still alive, but now it is different, the sea is gone, and you can directly climb the stairs to land on the island, so it is logical to attract the pirates to attack this time.

Zhou Shu admitted that the apples on this island were very sweet, a little like the smell of Turrell, so he bit down on the apples and ate several of them.

Honeytea Turrell invites Zhou Shu and Aleusha to her home, and as a magician, she lives in a very magical place, the treehouse. It's not just a house built on a tree, a huge apple tree that a dozen people may not be able to hold together has been hollowed out, and the magician's home is in the heart of the tree.

Aleusha reminded Zhou Shu that such a large apple tree was not a natural thing, but should have been born of magic. She doesn't say this, Zhou Shu also knows this.

The internal space of this book house is still relatively large, with three floors, but there is only one room on each floor. There are two bookshelves in the house, full of books, probably about the same number as Zhou Shu's own collection, and it should not be more than a thousand. If you add game software and comics, Master Zhou will probably be able to explode a few streets of Turel, which is a competition of Zhai Cheng dù.

"I'm sorry, but I just asked you to help drive away the robbers. "I haven't been home for a long time, and although someone helps sweep the dust, there is really nothing to entertain you." ”

The apple that Zhou Shu ate just now was picked by Turrell from the tree, of course it was not the one she lived in, the tree had already died, otherwise the insects on the tree alone would not be able to make people live.

Apples are only picked on the way here, and every tree you can see on the island is an apple tree, and it is full of fruit, and it is winter.

Turrell looked at Zhou Shu's heroic appearance when he ate apples and smiled reluctantly, "For outsiders, these apples should be quite good things." The people of our island don't want to eat them anymore when they're probably five years old. ”

"I can understand. Alyusha said with a smile.

She was pretty sure that the island had some magic-related secrets, and it was a typical magical island, and there were actually a lot of them in the First World, all of which had in common the strange flora and fauna and some unique phenomena on the island.

Aleusha had been to such an island before on vacation, and it was possible to cross any water surface there to reach a reverse world, which would be in a glass. Actually, there is nothing unusual. For the magician, it's just a playground world.

Generally speaking, this will happen, if you don't think it's built, it's that there is some kind of treasure on the island that can amplify the effect of magic. Aleusha wasn't interested in it, and what might be hidden on the island was nothing compared to the moon god's innate magic. And the islanders of this island probably don't really want the apples to disappear completely, and if they take that thing away, eighty percent of this place will soon become a normal island.

When Zhou Shu came to this island, he had already scanned it with the Book of Summoning, and he didn't find any strange creatures. In other words, it's a good place to be.

But the place is not as good as home, and now that Tourel has been sent home, it is time for him to go.

Before he could say goodbye, Turrell asked him to stay.

"Please, stay here for a few days. I'm worried that there will be robbers coming, and I don't have enough strength to protect this place. ”

"And robbers?!" Zhou Shu looked at Turrell in embarrassment. "Why don't I conjure a thousand hounds to help guard it?" He now threw out all the remaining mana, in fact, he could only make a maximum of seven hundred.

Honeytea Turrell smiled and shook her head. Representation is not sufficient. "Today's robbers have destroyed the defenses of our port. This shows that they will come. As for the number of people. It's not very clear. Maybe your animals are enough to help us, but I don't want to risk it, I hope you can help me. ”

After Turrell said this, Zhou Shu understood why those robbers set fire to the house without saying a word. If you think about it, it seems that there are small ballbow towers on the roofs of those houses, which were extinguished in time because of the fire. In fact, these fortifications can still be used.

Tosu Island is so large that the only place you can get to the island is the port. Most of the island is uninhabited, with only a small population around the seaside, numbering about 30,000.

Such a scale is not something that robbers can capture, at least in the common sense of Zhou Shu. The robbers should be in the hundreds. To attack an island with a population of 30,000, it is estimated that it would take 2,000 men to do it.

It is obviously inappropriate to argue about whether the islanders can save themselves at such a time, and it is clear that Honeytea Turrell wants the island to reduce casualties as much as possible, and it should be possible to do so with Zhou Shu. She wasn't going to see the islanders and the robbers fight to the death and end up losing both.

After Zhou Shu guessed this, he decisively expressed his willingness to stay, there was no way, it was impossible not to help with this favor.

Aleusha left, and against the slightest bit of robbers, she was not needed at all.

"Call and call me if you want to call a taxi, I've been there. The Reliable Great Witch said this, and flew away. Zhou Shu and the owner of the book house were left facing each other in the room on the first floor, drinking tea made from dried apples.

"I only have one bed in my house. ”

After the big witch left, Turrell said this to Zhou Shu without a clue.

"A bed?!" Master Zhou was suddenly dizzy by her. He knew that this guy definitely didn't, 'let's sleep together', and was probably going to give up the bed to himself.

Turrell also didn't give Zhou Shu a letter, "Although you are a guest, but I have no reason to sleep on the floor in my own house, can I ask you to be wronged?"

"Okay. Zhou Shu felt that he was really wronged. Playing the Seven Samurai, the villagers still prepare rice for others to be full, they eat the fruits on the side of the road, and they have to sleep on the floor tonight, and they have to deal with more robbers than the Seven Samurai. However, considering that he can live in the same room as Turrell, Zhou Shu feels that it is actually quite good, and he really likes the sweetness of Tourelle. (To be continued......)
