Book 664 Before Traveling
The status and image of the White Moon Royal Clan in the minds of the citizens of the capital are still good, and they have always been very positive. The sick princess is sick and weak, and the two princesses are strong and worthy of the pride of the people of Baiyue.
Such a royal family is still a little ineffective in the face of the dragon slaying heroes who have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the past twenty days. When there was a friction and conflict between the royal family and the hero, the people gave their blessings to the hero who had just touched their child's head, unwilling to believe that she was a liar.
Zhou Shu stood at the top of the steps as white as white jade, and touched the sweater girl next to him with his shoulder.
"You can also tell me something, you will definitely not admit to the dragon, I know that, but I will argue a few times for others. ”
The sweater snorted, "I will, I don't need you to remind me." ”
The people were also waiting for their hero to refute the royal official who didn't even introduce himself, and the Freedom Eagle didn't disappoint them.
She only said one sentence, "The vast number of residents of White Moon City, there is some misunderstanding between me and the royal family on the day of the dragon slaying, and this is true. But for no one, combat power is the most honest, and if the gentleman next to me still insists on his claims, then I am willing to duel him in public. ”
As soon as these words came out, the sick princess happily wanted to take out her mobile phone and call Yu Feiniao directly. Let her bring the dragon.
Zhou Shu had already said what had happened that day, and the sick princess believed that as long as she lent him the Sun Sword, those stones would not be able to trap anything.
Lieyang now has two stalks, one of which is with Princess Fuhu. Others were left in the castle in case they were needed.
Zhou Shu knew very well what this free eagle had in mind, it was nothing more than seeing that he had not taken advantage of her before, so he wanted to use this trick to get out.
For martial artists, this kind of dispute discussion will indeed turn into a competition of force in the end. In the face of the challenge from the Freedom Eagle, before the citizens began to heckle, Zhou Shu made it clear that he was willing to accept it.
"That's good. Freedom Eagle breathed a sigh of relief, "The venue of the duel is on the rocky beach outside the city, as for the time, you decide." ”
Zhou Shu didn't care where he competed, he had already thought of a way to deal with it. Liberty Eagle won't be able to use her magic sword. If it's a good idea. On the day of the duel, the person holding her magic sword should be herself.
Freedom Eagle's attitude towards Zhou Shu was not bad at all, and it could even be said to be respectful and polite, and he only showed a little necessary anger to the audience under the steps.
She was afraid of the royal family behind Zhou Shu. I don't dare to provoke it too much. For the day he killed the dragon easily. In fact, Liberty Eagle has always wondered. Such a sturdy dragon armor is such a dragon with vitality. Why did he die after an inexplicable hiss?
For the real dragon slayer, the Freedom Eagle does not dare to underestimate.
After Zhou Shu left the temple with the team, the entire White Moon City was as lively as the New Year. Everyone was talking excitedly about the real and fake dragon slaying heroes, and was excited and looking forward to the duel in three days.
The head is more active, and they have already gone to the rocky beach three days in advance to occupy a seat, and some people have set up a wooden platform there, ready to be used by the public for a fee three days later.
These people are destined to work in vain. Zhou Shu returned to the castle, and the sick princess and two guards appeared from behind him in white robes and patted him on the shoulder.
"Enter the auditorium, I have someone to introduce you to you. ”
Zhou Shu was very nervous by the surprise of his eldest lady, and was ushered into the auditorium by a waiter, where a full bearded man stood on both sides of the red carpet.
At the end of the red carpet are two steps on which what appears to be the throne of a king.
The sick princess was still dressed as a castle guard, but she had replaced her white robe with a red cloak.
The name of the White Moon Castle Hall is 'Whitehall', and it is the place where the king officially receives the nobles of the city, but it is not an office and is relatively private in nature.
After Zhou Shu pushed them in, he looked at the unfamiliar faces on both sides of the red carpet, looking a little helpless and didn't know where to stand. The sick princess motioned to the attendant and asked him to lead Zhou Shu to her.
"Get down on one knee. The sick princess looked at Zhou Shu who was looking nervous and ordered him so angrily.
"Oh, okay. Master Zhou seems to have made up his mind not to fight for face for the sick princess, and his words and deeds are exactly the appearance of ordinary people in the market.
The people standing in this room are all the chief nobles of White Moon City, the top family of the White Moon Country, and they are comparable to non-officials. Even the Prime Minister of the Kingdom is not qualified to stand in it.
These men had been summoned to the palace this morning, and had been greeted by the herald of the sick princess last night. They were very puzzled, they didn't know why the princess regent called a strange-looking stranger to the palace at such a time, could it be that she wanted him to play some tricks for herself?
Just when they were wondering, the sick princess stepped down from the throne and came to Zhou Shu and did something that made them wonder even more. She bent down, reached out to support Zhou Shu's forehead, and kissed it there, in front of everyone.
The sick princess was quite scared after experiencing Nati's incident, afraid that Zhou Shu would be snatched away by others if she didn't have an idea. In order to deal with this possible happening, she decided to give Zhou Shu an identity first.
When all the nobles saw this scene, their eyes straightened. There are also some people with poor psychological tolerance, and their eyes are directly green. They knew all too well what the princess meant by kissing a man who was kneeling on such occasions. This is almost announcing to everyone that the princess is engaged to this man.
The engagement ceremony of the royal family is naturally not like this, the process is much more cumbersome, and there are dozens of red tapes to follow depending on the status of both parties. But if a queen has feelings for a commoner, then it would be nice to do it like a sick princess, and the knight king fifty years ago also experienced this scene.
"Alright, get up. ”
The kiss of the sick princess was only a small touch of the dragonfly's water, and she quickly straightened up. Although Zhou Shu was puzzled, he also knew that he was in a very bad state now. Hearing that his eldest lady had a follow-up order, he quickly stood up. Then stared blankly at the inexplicably smug sick princess in front of him.
"Let me tell you about it. The sick princess ignored Zhou Shu's eyes, walked to the middle of the red carpet, and announced to the nobles on both sides: "This man's name is Zhou Shu, it's true that he is a foreigner, but he is worthy of a newcomer." He was the biggest contributor to the defeat of the city, and he saved the lives of Aelita and me many times. A lot of the recent chaos was quelled with his help, and the dragon that burned the land in the city was killed by his own hands. The woman who was rumored to be out there was a liar. ”
The words of the sick princess have always had a certain meaning. No one had ever seen her joking in front of everyone. But I'm afraid this joke is too big today.
His Royal Highness Nalolo knew that he would not be taken lightly if he told the truth, so he depressedly said the last killer move.
"Also, His Excellency Zhou Shu discovered a new continent overseas. Soon he will leave us. Go and conquer the new continent. Rest assured. This is his personal act and does not require our funding. He promised me to expand the territory of the White Moon Kingdom to the other side of the sea. ”
Hearing this speech, the nobles suddenly realized. It turned out to be just a liar adventurer. Our princess has been deceived. Since that's the case, it doesn't matter, today's events aren't even fun. It's not new for the princess to be deceived or anything, as long as her own interests are not damaged, she will be happy with her little girl.
Zhou Shu stared at his eldest lady blankly, not knowing how she was thinking about bragging to herself in front of so many people.
The sick princess had her own ideas, and after meaninglessly introducing the nobles to Zhou Shu one by one, the meeting was dismissed, and the two secretly went back to the tower princess's room to discuss things.
Zhou Shu now has a feeling of being hidden by the golden house, which is not good. The sick princess said that she was just bragging casually, and it didn't matter if the nobles didn't believe it, and when the seven dragons were solved, they couldn't help but not believe it.
Master Zhou also had something to discuss, and he admitted frankly that he had taken a fancy to the sword in the hand of the Freedom Eagle and wanted to use some small tricks to get the sword.
"Magic items don't just come and go, and her sword must have a unique way to control it. ”
"I know. So I'm going to reconcile with the sweaterwoman. ”――
For those props that can provide defensive capabilities, Zhou Shu is still very concerned. He hadn't been interested in anyone's weapons until now, but he had stripped off two sets of armor. Now, he's on the radar of someone else's magic sword again.
At noon on the second day of the duel with the Freedom Eagle, Zhou Shu solemnly sent an invitation to him, hoping to have lunch together in the temple.
Liberty Eagle had no reason not to allow it, so he received him very unhappily at the long table.
"There are too many people here, right?" Zhou Shu, who was on time for the appointment, looked at some of the attendants who were waiting on the side, these were all martial artists who had announced that they would follow the dragon slayer hero in recent days. "I'm going to talk to you about something personal, and you won't want anyone to hear about it. ”
"Okay, okay, you push down. The Freedom Eagle sent the people away, stared at Zhou Shu impatiently, and picked up the meat on the plate with a fork and crunched it. Now that the sea is gone, she doesn't have any seafood to eat.
In the past two days since Zhou Shu came back to Baiyue City, he has gained a lot of weight, and he is very satisfied with the food here. But he doesn't have time to eat right now, so he has to explain the matter quickly, and he will have to go to Nati later.
"Let's get down to business first, I have a way here to keep you from being torn alive by the inhabitants of White Moon City. ”
Freedom Eagle didn't speak, but her eyes were staring at Zhou Shu, proving that she was listening.
"You and I are all about what the situation was like at the beginning. Right?"
"Hmph, that's right. Liberty Eagle put her hand on her sword, and she was already on guard.
Zhou Shutan spread his hands, "Actually, what you know is just an appearance, and there are still some things you don't know about the black dragon." As she said this, Master Zhou got up from his seat and stuck to Freedom Eagle's side, and asked her a question, "Do you know what my relationship with His Highness Nalolo is?"
Liberty Eagle didn't answer, and he didn't say anything.
"Free love, mutual admiration. Zhou Shu answered by himself, and then continued to ask questions. "Do you know how a future queen can get married to a capable but unknown alien who has the ability to enter the Great Hall?"
Liberty Eagle doesn't know. When she heard the first half of the words, her whole body was shocked. All she knew now was that she had calculated the sick princess's concubine. She knew very well that if this guy didn't brag with the princess's name in a big way, then it would be difficult for her to get along in the White Moon Country.
"In order to make us the right person, we decided that we would be the only dragon slayer hero in the past hundred years. What do you think, what about this idea? ”
"That's ridiculous!" Liberty Hawk stood up as he hammered the table, "You mean to say, that black dragon ......"
"That's right! it's the black dragon. Zhou Shu snatched the words of the woman in front of him, pushed her back to her seat, and then spat out a white breath and conjured a palm-sized dragon.
Last night. Zhou Shu asked Yu Feiniao to do a small favor. Plastic surgery of the bat that has always been in the shape of a dragon. This morning, she came from Rozeravon with the Grey Witch with the results of plastic surgery. Now that little dragon has been recorded by the Book of Zhou's summoning, it can be conjured at any time.
This thing summons more than three hundred points. War five scum. Not even Spitfire. But it's still good to fool people.
Zhou Shu put the little dragon in the hands of the frightened Freedom Eagle, and then conjured another one himself. The two of them each carried a dragon cub in their arms, and then ten more identical things were transformed into the table. Fluttering and eating the food on it.
Freedom Eagle's heart has never beaten so fast in his life, he looked at the head of the well-behaved little dragon in his arms, and said with a look of disbelief: "You want to sue me...... You changed that black dragon?!"
Zhou Shu nodded, "You can not believe it now, but when we duel in two days, seven dragons will attack White Moon City." When the time comes, you, as a dragon slaying hero, will definitely be sent to death among the dragons at the instigation of the people, and you will understand when the time comes. ”
Liberty Eagle now understood, she confessed. In fact, even if Zhou Shu didn't take out the dragon to scare her, just because of his relationship with the sick princess, as long as he could get solid evidence, Freedom Eagle would naturally compromise.
"Do you want to ...... What do you want?"
The sweater asked dejectedly.
"Your sword. Zhou Shu confessed.
"No way, it's my ancestor. ”
"Do you have any other siblings?"
"No, single pass. ”
Zhou Shu spread his hands, "I think it's better for you to care about your family's incense inheritance first, could it be that you already have children?"
"Rude!" Freedom Eagle put on an angry face, drew his sword and pointed at Zhou Shu. Master Zhou raised his hand to conjure flames to block his vision, and slipped to a safe place to prevent being caught by the stone of the Freedom Eagle Control Zhì.
The Sweater Girl couldn't tolerate someone making such a joke on her, but she didn't intend to do anything about it, and quickly regained her composure and put her sword down.
Zhou Shu didn't come to fight, and he also extinguished the flames.
The two sat back at the long table, and Xiaolong was recalled by Zhou Shu with a wave of his hand.
With a sad face, the Freedom Eagle confessed to the man in front of him: "This time I lost, I am willing to listen to your disposal, but my sword will never be given to you." ”
"Listen to me?!" Zhou Shu hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't say that, don't cause misunderstandings again, my family is very jealous." ”
"I didn't mean that, I hope you don't make jokes about it. ”
It is the first time for Zhou Shu to treat a beautiful woman like this. He felt that his experience on the road of life had increased again. Looking at the attitude of this sweater girl, although she is still hard-mouthed, she obviously can't hold on for long, and it is estimated that she will soon loosen her mouth.
Zhou Shuxiaozhi told her emotionally and reasonably, the scene where a person died tragically in the face of seven dragons, and then solved the dragons by himself, and trumpeted his liar behavior.
"Your sword will still fall into my hands. ”
"You can't use it without a trick. ”
"That's right, so I'm going to drop your heirloom into there. At the dinner table, don't force me to say that word. ”
The Freedom Eagle was desperate, but still not ready to let go. Zhou Shu smiled and unveiled his last hole card, "I don't have to ask for your family heirloom, just borrow it for a few years." Recently, I'm going to go out to do a mission, just borrow me by my side, and I'll pay you back after I use it. As long as you promise me, in two days, we will deal with those seven dragons together, and fight side by side in front of the people, and after that we will all be heroes, heroes like never before. Don't you think it's a win-win?"
The kick had already been shot, but the Liberty Eagles could not save the penalty, and the gate was completely defeated.
“...... May I think about it, can I get back to you in the afternoon?"
"No, I can't. Zhou Shu didn't give an inch, "I still have afternoon business, so I don't have time to receive you." ”
When Liberty Eagle heard this, tears began to roll in his eyes. The sword was taught to her by her mother before she was killed, saying that it was a dowry, and she was going to marry someone who could avenge her mother and give him the sword. As a result, a year ago, Freedom Eagle himself inexplicably avenged his revenge.
Now that the sword was about to be handed over to a man, Liberty Eagle felt so bitter that he felt like he was going to be forced to marry this guy, and he was forced to give in because he was caught by the handle......
She took out her sword and stuffed it into Zhou Shu's hand, and then told him bad news. "If you want to learn how to use this Dinglan, you have to practice for at least two or three months. ”――
The name of the magic sword is Dinglan, which guides the boulder to sink into the sea to calm the waves, which reminds Zhou Shu of Jingwei reclamation.
He promised to return the sword to Liberty Eagle in fifty years, but he knew that Liberty Eagle had no intention of returning it.
Since the manipulation method of the sword is very complicated, and there is no manual to read, Liberty Eagle must stay with Zhou Shu for these two months to teach him the use of the sword. In other words, if nothing goes well, Zhou Shu will have to bring her as a tutor when he goes to the West Country on business...... (To be continued......)
