Chapter 119: Reaching Starry City
On the bow of the boat, a shoulder-length blonde woman stood there, she was wearing a blue dress, not too much decoration, only some simple lace and red ribbons for decoration, the collar and short sleeves were white, a bit of country jasper, simple but quiet, although not gorgeous, but giving people a very sober feeling. In the arms of the blonde woman, it seems that she is still holding a doll in a black dress, which is a little special.
However, compared to the shape, what really made Link feel strange was that there was no one within a five-meter radius of the blonde woman, and now the deck was full of people, except for half of the blonde woman, and the blonde woman was standing in the bow of the ship with the most people, which was a bit strange.
Link observed from the side, and found that the blonde woman seemed to be invisible to the bystanders, and when he got within five meters of the blonde woman, he would unconsciously take a detour and walk away, not noticing anything unusual.
"That blonde woman is weird!" Link said to himself, and he also kept a thought, quietly blending in with the crowd to observe the woman.
Soon, the blonde woman turned around, and Link also saw her appearance, and suddenly, Link subconsciously widened his eyes, for no other reason, the other party was too beautiful.
The beauty that cannot be described in any words, like the most perfect work of art of the Creator, the crystal beautiful blue pupils, the face without a trace of impurities and shortcomings, and the age looks like only sixteen or seventeen years old, just like the CG beauty on the earth made by the computer, the skin is so delicate that you can't even see the pores, and the beauty is not like a real person.
In the past, Link didn't believe that there were beauties in the world, but after seeing this girl, he believed that this kind of beauty was not something that normal people could resist, and I was afraid that even men with abnormal sexual orientation could be forced to straighten up when they saw it. Her beauty is beyond the reach of mortals.
This level of 'artwork' can cause a sensation in the world wherever she goes, killing both men and women, and even making countless careerists and strong people fight crazy for it, but the strange thing is that she walks around so plainly, but others still do her own thing as if they didn't see her. Even if you look at her, it's like treating her as a transparent person, and nothing will change. At the same time, wherever the girl went, others would unconsciously back away to make way for her, and no one noticed anything unusual.
Witnessing this strange scene, Link couldn't help but guess the identity of the blonde girl, and at this moment. The blonde girl seemed to notice his gaze and subconsciously turned her head to look at it, Link quickly looked away when he saw this, pretending to enjoy the scenery as if nothing had happened.
I don't know if the blonde girl spotted Link. She looked at Link for a moment. He withdrew his gaze and returned to the cabin, and Link had no intention of continuing to enjoy the scenery, and waited a few minutes before returning to the box.
When everyone noticed that there was something wrong with Link's appearance, they opened their mouths to ask, and Link didn't hide it. When he told the story of what he had seen on the deck, everyone was taken aback. The blonde girl's identity was speculated, and Altaïr asked if he wanted to find out.
After thinking about it for a while, Link also vetoed the proposal, the other party's origin is unknown, but he has no intersection with them, since this is the case, there is no need to make trouble. After all, the world is so big, and there are many strange people and strange things. Link has even seen the Holy Spirit who only lives in legends, what else can't he accept?
Therefore, everyone acted as if nothing had happened, and did what they had to do.
For the next two days, Link never saw the blonde girl again, and the journey passed without any surprises, and early on the third morning, they finally arrived at the port of Starlight City, the final stop.
As the first city of the Star Kingdom, the scale of Star City is far from comparable to Bath City, with a permanent population of more than 800,000 and a daily flow of more than 50,000 people.
When the boat stopped, the guests on the boat couldn't wait to rush down, Link and they also disembarked after them, and soon after they disembarked, the blonde girl that Link had seen two days ago appeared again, she was still holding the doll in a black dress, still so cold and quiet, like a fairy without taking away a trace of human smoke, quietly disappeared into the crowd.
This time, however, Link was taken aback again, as he discovered that not only ordinary people, but also Altaïr's three and the two lurking spirit pets did not notice the existence of the blonde girl, as if the girl was really a transparent person.
Link couldn't help but feel furious about the strange scene, and he was glad that Altaïr didn't let him investigate the blonde girl, and he couldn't even see it, so how could Altaïr investigate?
After the blonde girl's affair passed, the people arranged by the Earl of Lothar also came, and the leader of the team knew Link, and Link also knew him, it was the retainer of the Bass family, a middle-aged man named Johnson-Danny, and after the two sides converged, Johnson immediately took Link and his party to the royal capital.
However, Johnson did not plan to take Link directly to the royal palace, because a big man suddenly arrived - Grand Duke Barnazar Shattering, the half-brother of the current King Kyle Shattering.
This lord is amazing, known as the king of the south of the kingdom of the stars, ruling the three southern provinces, is the largest prince in the entire kingdom of the stars, and his talent is amazing, not inferior to his brother, even surpassing, there is even a folk saying that he is actually more suitable to hold the throne than the current king, just because his status as an illegitimate child makes him have no inheritance - he is the child of the previous king after getting drunk and a palace maid, and he is destined to not get the power he deserves in the monogamous kingdom of the stars.
In order to compensate Banazal and avoid fratricidal killing, the previous king named Banazar as the Grand Duke of the South, and handed over all the three southern provinces to Banazar to rule, while the current king did not attack Banazal from beginning to end because of the orders of the dead ghost father, and even did not have any intention of interfering in the affairs of the south, it was completely to divide the three southern provinces outside the rule of the kingdom.
But this is only under the premise that Banazar has always stayed in the three southern provinces, and now the royal capital is a powder keg, which may explode at any time, and Banazal's sudden arrival in Star City at this juncture is intriguing, you know, his influence is one of the best in the entire Star Kingdom, even Sylvanas has to stand aside, in other words, he even surpasses the Sylvanas siblings in terms of threat to the throne.
Many people suspect that Banazal has ulterior motives for coming to Star City at this time, but the problem is that he only brought three hundred guards, and it was a slogan to visit his niece's condition, so even if he doubted, it was not easy to stop, and now he was talking to his brother in the palace, God knows what he was thinking, if he went directly, he would definitely find out, so in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Johnson asked Link not to rush to the palace first.
After saying that, Johnson vaguely stated that this was actually Princess Sylvanas's order, and even he didn't know why he did it.
Faced with this situation, Link did not make it difficult for Johnson, and immediately nodded in agreement, and the group lived in the villa that the Earl of Lothar had already arranged, which was the family property of the Bass family, and the Earl of Lothar would live here when he arrived in the royal city, just enough for Link and them to settle down.
"It's worthy of being the royal capital, and it's really prosperous enough. Looking out the window on the second floor of the villa, Link couldn't help but admire.
Johnson next to him smiled and said: "Archbishop Neil, the Kingdom of Stars has developed for more than a hundred years, and it seems to have the potential to become the number one power in the north of the Ou Rui Continent, and there are countless people who come here every year, and you can even see the same Orientals and alien races in the Adimen Continent as you, it is rare for you to come once, it would be a pity if you didn't go for a walk." ”
Hearing this, Link sighed and said, "This won't cause you trouble, will it? ”
Johnson smiled and said: "Although the royal capital is surging now, the people are not affected, and this villa is only one of the properties of the Bass family, not many people know that this is the villa of Lord Earl, even if someone sees you entering and exiting from here, it will not cause those people to care." ”
"Well, that's it......" Link nodded a little moved, it's rare to come to the royal capital, it's really a bit sorry for me not to go shopping, and there are many religious forces here, but all of them can settle down are the top religions in the Kingdom of Stars, and it would be good if you could take the opportunity to take a look.
Thinking of this, Link immediately decided to go out for a walk, Johnson offered to be a tour guide, but was rejected by Link, Johnson, as a retainer of the Count of Lothar, is not known to everyone in the royal capital, but he knows a lot, and walking together will inevitably attract the attention of those who care, it is better to go for a walk on their own, for this city, Altaïr and Lin Xi are no strangers.
In the end, Link and Lin Xi went out together, Altaïr was arranged by Link to investigate the situation, and Reimu was still too lazy to go out, so Link simply let her stay in the villa honestly.
This is the first time they have been alone since the two separated eight years ago, Link is okay, he doesn't feel anything, but Lin Xi has become very nervous, and she doesn't know what she's thinking in her head, she always peeks at Link from time to time, and then she will fall into thinking mode, and then gradually blush, showing a shy or silly smile, that reaction is really interesting, if you keep staring, it will make people laugh.
It's a pity that Link's attention is not on this at all, maybe because of the change in status, or because there are more girls around him, so it has become a habit, when he stays with the big beauty before the crossing, he will focus on picking up girls, he doesn't pay attention to Lin Xi's situation at all, he has been observing the customs and regional conditions of Xingyao City, and analyzing various events, and forcibly turned a rare dating moment into a solemn official inspection.
