Regarding the fact that Tiddlelem must be mentally abnormal, Zhou Shu can basically confirm it. So far, though, the sheer thing that has come out of this guy is only in her desperate need to be whipped.
Staring at the queen who stretched out her palms and showed a look of fear of pain at the same time, Zhou Shu suddenly felt that his head hurt.
He wasn't the only one who had a headache, but Turrell Honeytea on the side was also the same, rolling his eyes and pulling a chair and sitting down. In normal times, she would never dare to sit down on her own while Tiddle was still standing.
It wasn't just the three of them in the room this time, as members of the three-person army, Liberty Eagle and Nati were also watching.
The two of them spent most of the twenty days on this business trip relatively idle, so they have been in a state of chatting and relieving boredom. Zhou Shu told them about this guy Tiddlelem, and also talked a lot about beating her palms with a horsewhip.
Now that the wounds on the princess's palms had healed, and if you looked closely, there were many scars on the hand that had been beaten, in stark contrast to the other white and tender.
Zhou Shu felt a bit wasteful about this, obviously with such delicate skin, I am afraid that this is a pair of hands that have never mentioned heavier objects than pens in their lives. Now it's all over the place......
It's not about me!
Zhou Shu stopped the pity that flowed from his male instinct in time, he didn't want to continue to make trouble for himself, a Nati had already given him enough headaches.
After beating Her Majesty the Queen, this time Master Zhou said that he would let her eat his healing jelly beans. This time he hit the heart of both hands, not just his left hand like last time.
In order to work, Tiddlelem hesitated for a while and then cherished the jelly beans.
Although Liberty Eagle and Nati had heard Zhou Shu say about the noble woman in front of them before, they didn't expect that there was really no exaggeration at all, and they really whipped the queen as he said.
The two of them did not understand the etiquette of this barbarian country at all. I have never heard of a country's royal family taking the initiative to let a commoner fight endlessly.
After being punished, Tiddlelem was in a good mood, and the haze of living underground for a long time was swept away, and the sun was shining brightly.
She smiled and greeted the Freedom Hawk. "Thank you for what you have done for me and for the country, thank you. Miss Liberty Eagle, Miss Nati. ”
Liberty Hawk nodded politely on the side, while Nattie frowned and corrected, "Please call me 'Ma'am'." She said this in a lingua franca that no one understood, and she knew that the guy in front of her must be calling herself wrong.
Zhou Shu wasn't going to talk nonsense here for too long, he was going to find a place to take a shower. So he knocked 'Lady Natty' away with one shoulder, leaving Tiddlelime to get down to business.
"Oh, yes. Tiddlelem really wanted to say that she wanted to be able to promote the four war heroes to the people in the same way that her brother had done to the people. to promote the book of the week for the three of them.
"Yes. Zhou Shu forced himself to take over this kind of hateful job that showed his head. "When are we going to start?"
For now, Zhou Shu plays a foreigner with strange powers who wants to use his power to carve out a career in the country of the West. A person with desires, or a person with clear desires, reassures the ruler that as long as the money and power are taken at will, and at the same time have a certain ability, the ruler is willing to entrust the great things to him, because such a person is simple and easy to satisfy.
Tiddlelem was deceived by Zhou Shu's acting skills, and she thought that the man in front of her was such a simple ordinary man who wanted to be promoted through the military industry. Ambitious, but not very big.
She counted the days on her fingers. He said to Zhou Shu: "If you are a qiē shun lì, you will be introduced to the people next Monday and treated as heroes." ”
Tiddle Lime said the day. According to the slightly different calendar of Nishinokuni, the first day of November is a traditional holiday. Recently, there has been a lot of good news in the military, and it is naturally very good to announce a good news during the festival.
However, this day is the day when the lives and merits of the three of them are announced to the people, and before that, the princes, nobles, and ministers of the court naturally want to see them.
Tiddlelem's trust in Zhou Shu has been raised to a relatively high level, so high that Zhou Shu told her that the moon god was not nearby, and there was no need to hide anymore, Tiddlelem believed it so unconditionally, and walked out of the underground palace to make a rare contact with the sunlight on the ground.
Zhou Shu and Liberty Eagle and Natty were welcomed into the royal palace, and Her Majesty arranged for them to stay in a side palace. And gave them an afternoon to rest.
The three of them used the baths in the palace to clean themselves, and then lay down on the bed and slept soundly. Naturally, they sleep separately.
They had been coveting the soft bed for a long time. Although Zhou Shu's sleeping bag is much more comfortable than lying on the ground with a blanket, it is still completely incomparable to a real bed.
While they slept, Tiddlerum sent some representatives of the members of the Trichamber to be summoned. and some of the city's great nobles, who wanted to formally introduce them to the heroes who had repelled the enemy army. These people can be said to have waited for the past twenty days, listening to the good news from the spies and the military, while waiting for the royal family to take the initiative to reveal the secret. Everyone wondered what kind of magic Tiddlelem, the newly crowned queen, had used to actually push the enemy back.
Speaking of magic, the people of Nishinokuni, who don't know much about magic, tend to have two extremes of their impression of this kind of thing. Ordinary people believe that magicians are the kind of beings who are very powerful, so powerful that they can know where the gold is buried by just reciting a spell.
As a magician at Tiddlerum's side, Honeytea Turrell was widely questioned, and people suspected that the enemy army was repulsed this time because she had something to do with it.
Although she really knew where the gold was buried, she didn't help at all this time, let alone use magic.
The aristocracy, of course, knew about the magicians and knew that they were of little use. They can do things that no one else can, but they don't have any practical use.
Unlike the common people, the aristocracy basically regarded the magician as a trickster in the circus, and the difference was not very large.
This is the group of people who have come to the council chamber again at the call of Tiddlerum. Looking longingly, he looked at His Majesty, who was sitting on the throne and eating fruit.
Tiddlelime told them to wait a moment before eating the last of the seasonal fruits they had in late autumn. If you don't eat it now, you won't be able to eat it for months to come.
Everyone in the chamber could see that she was in a good mood. I am also willing to be happy with her. Although everyone has different camps, the purpose of the general direction is still the same, to resist the attack of the East Country.
The Patronus was probably the most confused of all of them about what had happened in the past twenty days, and they were pretty sure that there were no so-called 'three generations of gods', and they could feel it. Even if there were, a god without the power of faith would have no power and would not be able to annihilate the enemy's tens of thousands of troops.
However, they did not believe that human power could do such a thing, and it was done quietly.
The princess's fruit eats and flies. It was past dinner time, and she was a little hungry. The nobles and ministers under the throne were not informal, chatting with each other very casually, talking about what might happen in a while.
There are also some people who have some friendship with the princess and ask the princess to reveal some news in advance, but the princess refused with a smile.
"Please wait a little longer, it's not that I don't want to inform you of the situation in advance, it's just that I'm afraid you won't believe what I say until you see it with your own eyes. ”
This group of people was waiting for Zhou Shu and the three of them, and at this time, Master Zhou was fiddling with his brown contact lenses, and he naturally took this thing off when he was sleeping. Actually, it's OK not to pick it up. His body is basically immune to a minor illness, and it's okay to keep that thing in his eyes all the time, but it's just a little uncomfortable.
Nattie and Freedom Eagle watched as Zhou Shu's eyes turned from black to brown. I applauded in amazement. It's not the first time they've seen this kind of magical condition, but no matter how many times they've seen it, they still feel amazing.
The three of them, accompanied by the maid and Miss Honey Tea, went to a conference room on the side of the chamber, and stood behind the door a little nervously waiting to appear.
Honeytea Turrell knocked lightly on the door, signaling that it was ready, and the princess jumped off the throne and walked over when she heard the voice, and told the three true war heroes a few things one last time.
Zhou Shu kept a question on the way here, and he was a little anxious before, so he forgot to explain.
"That. 陛xià. Zhou Shu grabbed his head and frowned, looking embarrassed, "If I am asked about the details of killing the enemy." How do you explain it? Tell me the truth?"
Tiddlelime was a little confused about the point of the question, "Can't you just say it? Is there something wrong?"
Of course it's inconvenient. Zhou Shu considered the wording. Explain to Tiddlelem: "Your Majesty, I beg your pardon for not being good at words. I would like to ask you, do you think your throne is sitting a little too securely?"
An idle princess who did not have a very good reputation and had never participated in political affairs, because of the death of her brother the king, inherited the throne, did not suffer any trouble, and smoothly grasped most of the power of the country.
"Wouldn't this be too smooth?" Zhou Shu asked again.
When he said this, Turrell held his forehead with a headache on the side. She knew what Zhou Shu wanted to say, so she explained to Tiddlelem, who didn't understand: "Your Majesty, you have not been subjected to any difficulties in the handling of state affairs, I am afraid it has something to do with the merits of Zhou Shu and his party and your unclear attitude. ”
Tiddlelem very unintentionally showed a royal mystery in the previous council, so that everyone now thought that the royal family had some killer weapon in their hands, and now it has been released, so that it can turn the tide and kill the enemy to the point of losing his armor.
From the crazy words of the captured enemy soldiers, it is clear that the army of Higashinokuni was indeed defeated by a very unnatural force.
Fear comes from the unknown, and the unknown and fear of the royal family made Tiddlerum quite smooth when he took over the country.
Tiddlerum was just an ordinary princess who never thought of ruling the country one day, nor did she have special training in this area.
Her political abilities were terrible, and she wouldn't have been able to do it without the help of a clever magician. She has been very busy these days, and she has no extra energy to analyze whether she is lucky or unlucky.
After Turrell's explanation, she also felt for the first time that she had been cared for by the god of luck.
The meaning of Zhou Shu is very clear. He hoped that the princess would continue to maintain her sense of mystery and create a divine temperament for their black-haired and black-eyed royal family.
The divine authority of kingship has played a great role in stabilizing the kingship in ancient civilizations, knowing those who dare to eat crabs. After beating these sons of the gods for a long time, people found out that the so-called true dragon son of heaven vomited after being beaten. If you are killed, you will die.
Tiddlelime needs to continue to make others fear her, at least that's what Zhou Shu thinks, which will reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble.
"So, I want to hide my power and lie to these adults in the council chamber. ”
Zhou Shu had been able to talk nonsense casually a long time ago, but he had always felt that he was not very good at this kind of thing.
Tiddlerim and Turrell were curious, "What do you want to do to keep your majesty in mystery?"
"......" Zhou Shu thought for a while, in fact, there are still many ways. “...... Maybe. The idea of the Bird Clan Patronus can be taken out and put to use. ”
The four people who were possessed by the Guardian Spirit of the Bird Clan, and their power came from the Guardian Spirit. Zhou Shu turned into a treasure chest in front of Tiddlerum, took out a pure gold decorative sword from it, held the heavy sword body in his hand, and then asked the free eagle on the side to take out the Dinglan sword as well.
Exposing a sharp blade in front of the royal family is more or less a crime, but with Zhou Shu's current situation, no one pursues his sins.
Pointing to the two swords in his own hands and the Liberty Eagle, he said to Tiddlerum, "These two swords were borrowed from the two of us, and we relied on them to repel the enemy. What do you think of that?"
The Free Eagle fiddled with his cherished Dinglan, and then looked at the shiny decorative sword in Zhou Shu's hand. I always felt that these two things couldn't be a series of products.
Tiddle Lime slapped his hands, looking like a little girl with no scheming, and sincerely praised Zhou Shu for telling a good lie.
Zhou Shu is also the kind of person who doesn't have any scheming. was praised by a beautiful girl, and the whole person looked a little shy.
"But what about Miss Natty?" Tiddle Lime glanced at Nattie, who was listless on the side.
Nati reminded, "Call me Madam." ”
Her senses are still keen, but it's a pity that the queen of the lingua franca doesn't understand it at all-
Tiddlerum, as the queen, doesn't have much curiosity. From her point of view, Zhou Shu, a man who endlessly shows his differences, is really suspicious, and he looks quite handsome in the dress of meeting VIPs and carrying a golden sword.
Face the military, the nobility and the patron saint. Master Zhou also lied according to the plan, pointing to the obviously decorative sword. The golden sword that will be bent off if you slash it casually describes the fighting ability of this thing.
The red-mouthed and white-toothed man finished blowing the cow. With the swing of his sword, he brightened the flame of the candle in the council chamber many times over, so that the candle became as lit as a torch, and the poor candle had its lifespan plummeting and burning rapidly.
Freedom Eagle pointed at his throat, simply pretended to be dumb, and waved Dinglan very casually to pull out a brick from the palace wall, and flew it twice before stuffing it back. In addition to destroying the walls of the chamber, her performance also caused a wave of exclamations.
The two handed the two swords back to the princess, basically telling the guys in front of the palace that this sword belonged to the royal family. With Tiddlerum's strength, she couldn't lift a single Dinglan, let alone the decorative sword of pure gold.
His Majesty Tide struggled to stand his sword on the throne, and then according to the cowhide that had been discussed before, he said that these two things were treasures left by the royal family.
When Tiddlelem vowed to take revenge on his own, some nobles speculated whether it was the royal family hiding something powerful enough to turn the tide of the war. Then these people scoffed at themselves who were guessing like this, thinking that they were still too naïve to come up with such thoughts. Now these people think how wise they were to make that guess at the time.
According to the process discussed, Tiddlelem handed the sword into the hands of Zhou Shu and Freedom Eagle, and asked them to continue to use this thing to protect the kingdom, and gave them the title equivalent to the earl level on the spot, and rewarded them with land.
The title of nobility in the country of the west is still relatively worthless, because the royal family has always been thin, and often needs rewards such as guò to expand its power.
Poor Natie has no skills and no special abilities to show, and Tiddlelem wants to reward her, but she can't convince the public, so she has to give up.
Nati didn't care about this kind of thing at all, and Freedom Eagle didn't think there was anything good about the title of such a barbarian country. After so many days of observation, Freedom Eagle is quite uninterested in this poor country, and he can't wait to get an army from the sick princess and flatten the world.
In terms of the combat effectiveness of the army of the White Moon Country, the two legions can almost sweep through this world, provided that there is no guardian spirit to cause trouble.
The two newly-promoted earls were soon surrounded by a crowd of princes and nobles, and the patron saints of the ape clan also performed human rituals with them, celebrating from the side, and looked almost indistinguishable from ordinary people.
They were able to clear up their doubts for days today, and although they didn't fully believe that what they heard was completely true, it didn't matter to them. It's a good attitude to life if you don't want to understand it, at least it won't give you too much headache.
They had more important things to do than to know the truth, and they wanted the two knights who had taken the royal treasures to do. (To be continued)
