Chapter 31 The Daily Life of the Aquarium Begins with Dabi
Out of the courtyard, all the way down, around a few rockeries and reefs along the way. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoSince it is a princess palace, it is always necessary to set up layers of obstacles to block the curiosity of the general public.
Lan Yiwen walked on the streets of the royal capital and looked at everything around him curiously, this time he was just shopping alone, so he walked very casually, and his mood was very relaxed.
Somehow, although he walked in this mermaid country, he didn't have any sense of alienation, and he even felt a very intimate feeling here. This discovery surprised him very much, knowing that people will have a sense of alienation in a foreign land, let alone in this unknown other world.
Although he didn't know why this was the case, Lan Yiwen didn't think deeply, since he went out shopping, he naturally didn't think too much, and he had to take a good rest when he should take a break.
Lan Yiwen looked at the houses on both sides of the street and felt very interesting, most of these houses occupy a small area, but they have unique shapes, one house after another, all of them are full of strange beauty, basically there are no duplicates.
According to Daiya, most of the houses in this royal capital are made of volcanic lava gushing from the seabed, and the houses made of this material are of solid quality and convenient to build. Lan Yiwen curiously touched it with his hand, but found that the tentacles on the wall were rough and covered with fine air holes.
Lan Yiwen walked for a while, and when he was looking left and right, a timid voice reached his ears.
"Big brother, can you come here and have a look?"
Lan Yiwen was a little surprised, and looked at the voice, but found that there was a small table on the waterway on the side of the stone road, and behind the small table sat a small water girl who was staring at Lan Yiwen pitifully with her beautiful big eyes and long eyelashes.
That little girl, who looks like she is only in her teens, has baby fat on her little face, and looks pink, which makes people want to pinch it. Her clothes seemed to be made of some kind of supple fish skin, tightly wrapped around her body, revealing her thin figure. Lan Yiwen noticed that the fish skin coat had faded a little and was no longer soft and bright.
A refreshing sound of hitting water sounded, and the little girl seemed to be a little nervous because of Lan Yiwen's attention, and her light red fishtail gently slapped the water surface and splashed a small splash.
"Big brother, look at the things here, they are all made by myself, they are very beautiful. Seeing Lan Yiwen's gaze, the little girl of the water tribe was a little scared, and couldn't help shrinking her body.
"Oh, yes. Lan Yiwen showed a warm smile, like the little girl who seemed to be startled by herself, expressing her kindness.
When the little girl saw Lan Yiwen's smile, she finally relaxed slightly, and looked at Lan Yiwen expectantly and wanted him to see her baby.
Lan Yiwen squatted down and looked at the things on the table through the waterway, those were all bits and pieces of small crafts, it seemed that they were all made by the little girl herself.
Lan Yiwen casually took a small ornament that seemed to be made of shells, played with it in his hand, and casually chatted with the little girl: "What's your name?
"My name is Betty, and I live in the village of Tia, on the edge of the royal capital. The little girl saw that Lan Yiwen seemed to like her work, and suddenly became happy, she stared intently at the handicraft in Lan Yiwen's hand, watching it reflect the seven-colored brilliance in the sun.
"Betty, so I'll call you little Betty. Did you make all these little things? It's beautiful. Lan Yiwen opened his palm, holding the small handicraft, the pearl-white shells scattered colorful light in the sunlight.
"Of course, these are all picked up by me and Xiaoxiao on the colorful tidal flats, and they have all been carefully polished by me. Saying that, the little girl took the shell from Lan Yiwen's palm and began to explain its production process to Lan Yiwen with great interest.
Lan Yiwen looked at the little girl with a smile on his face, he simply sat on the road, bathed in the warm afternoon sunshine and watched this cute little girl explain her baby.
Lan Yiwen saw that little Betty's business didn't seem to be good, so when she saw that Lan Yiwen seemed to be interested in her baby, she happily explained.
After a long time, little Betty finally stopped explaining, and fine beads of sweat were already on the tip of her nose. When she saw Lan Yiwen's smiling expression, she suddenly blushed and covered her mouth embarrassedly. The muttering didn't know what to say.
Seeing Little Betty's shy appearance, Lan Yiwen smiled and said, "Then how much are these things?"
The little girl exhaled softly, glanced at Lan Yiwen cautiously, and said, "Not much, only 10 shell coins." ”
"Hmm" Lan Yiwen replied, began to put his hand in his pocket, and began to grope.
A moment later.
Lan Yiwen felt a little dizzy, the clothes behind him were soaked with cold sweat, he glanced at little Betty carefully, but he was facing her big watery eyes.
"Uh......" Lan Yiwen wanted to howl. At this time, he had the urge to kill himself, because he found that he had no money!
"I don't even have any money......," Lan Yiwen whispered in an imperceptible voice, and he felt that his expression must be embarrassed to death.
He hurriedly rummaged through his coat pockets, only turning out a few signs, the martial arts training card that Daiya gave him, the token used by Smeron to occupy the seat, and the lapis lazuli brand, and nothing else.
Just as Lan Yiwen was considering whether to go back to the courtyard for help, little Betty's voice sounded in his ears again.
"Well, big brother, can you show me the blue card if you can?"
"What? is this?" Lan Yiwen handed over the lapis lazuli card with some surprise, and he was a little relieved in his heart.
The little Betty happily took the lapis lazuli card, looked back and forth with love, and reluctantly returned it to Lan Yiwen after a while.
"Ah, you don't want it?" Lan Yiwen's heart rose again, it's over, it seems that today's image of Wei'an is not guaranteed.
"No, no, it's just that this one is too expensive, and these things of mine are not worth so much money. So I can't ask for it. Little Betty knew that while those little crafts were precious treasures to herself, they were nothing to the big names in the royal capital.
"It's nothing, in my opinion, this thing is worthless, and these little things made by little Betty are worth a fortune. Big brother didn't bring any money today, so let's put this lapis lazuli card with you first. ”
"Well, okay then. Little Betty bit her lip, her little hand clutching the lapis lazuli plaque tightly, looking very entangled.
"Okay, that's it", Lan Yiwen stretched his waist widely, ignoring the little girl's desire to speak and stop, he waved his hand lightly and turned to leave.
It's a nice day, so let's go back and rest.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After a few days of rest, Meng Yuan ushered in the martial arts.
According to the usual practice, Dabi was carried out in the martial arts arena in the east of the city, and for this five-year martial arts competition, the Mengyuan Kingdom had already decorated the martial arts arena, and colorful silk and gorgeous rainbow brocade were draped around the martial arts arena. Although for those noble children, the annual competition is the best way to promote their status and make a name for themselves in the kingdom, and at the same time, the wonderful competition can also attract the attention of those ladies and ladies. But for those civilians, this Mengyuan Dabi is a grand event of entertainment. So Lan Yiwen walked on the streets of the royal capital, and saw that both sides of the road were decorated with colorful ribbons, and the water tribe civilians on the road were also full of smiles, as if it was a festival.
When Lan Yiwen stood in the middle of the field, he looked at the water tribes full of people around him, and suddenly felt in a trance, is it an arena again.
With the sound of a tsunami of cheers, Morster IV slowly ascended to the highest stand in the center, so that everyone could clearly see the figure of the king. This is the first time Lan Yiwen has seen the supreme power holder of the Mengyuan Kingdom, he looks in good spirits, his serious face is full of the majesty of the superior, although the king is not young, but he still looks energetic, people can't help but wonder, how long will this glorious king last all his life.
The old king was followed by a few people, and with Lan Yiwen's current eyesight, he could easily see the faces of the five people who followed him. Among them, there are three people Lan Yiwen knows or has seen, namely the second prince Rommel Morst in a white robe and half-body armor, the chief of the guard Cicelo Mott in a hideous black armor, and the third princess Daiya. Although the other two Lan Yiwen hadn't seen each other, he could probably surmise that the graceful lady was probably Daiya's mother, Queen Beyoncé, and remembered that Daiya seemed to say that she was seriously ill when she was in the City of Eternal Night, but now she doesn't look like she is sick, probably because she was cured by Biluo Yellow Spring. There was also a man who looked inconspicuous and had a cold face, who was muscular and tall, and who could even rival the chief of the guard, and he was probably the eldest prince, Sechel Morst.
When the king and a group of royal family members sat down, followed by the delegations of various countries, carefully speaking, in fact, the Black Devil Sea and the Hongyuan Kingdom sent people over, the Black Devil Sea was a few mysterious people in black robes, except for the time when he met Morster IV again, he took off his hood, most of the time he hid his face in the depths of the hood, looking mysterious, and the Dawn Highness, as his name suggests, looks pale and thin, and seems to be weak.
In the end, this Mengyuan Dabi is just a martial arts talent selection competition in their own country, and the other six seas will not intentionally send people to watch, and these two countries are just meeting at the right time. After that, other nobles in the royal capital also climbed the stands one after another, looking for their own seats, and the distance of the seats from the center also symbolized the status of the family to some extent. In the middle of the stands, Lan Yiwen saw Smelon and Carl of the Surge Family, who followed behind a middle-aged man who walked straight to the chair next to Morster IV and whispered to the old king with his head tilted sideways. Lan Yiwen could clearly see that behind the middle-aged man, the curly-haired boy was staring at him with resentful eyes, as if he was like a poisonous snake lurking in the shadows, sticking out his tongue, waiting for an opportunity.
Unlike the previous lengthy and complicated on the earth, the opening of Mengyuan Dabi was unusually crisp and neat, accompanied by a long screw horn sound of "woo--", Mengyuan Dabi officially began.
There are more than 700 players in this competition, and three stands are set up on the martial arts arena at the same time, and three huge water balls are suspended from the bottom to the top above the martial arts arena, and the images on the field are projected onto the water balls through unique water magic, so that no matter where you sit on the martial arts field, you can clearly see the three games.
It seems that it has been arranged in advance, according to Lan Yiwen's observation, the first people who played were some commoners or small nobles who signed up, although identity and status cannot determine strength, but in this world where royal power and religious power stand side by side, the honor of those in power is not allowed to be trampled on, so they are destined not to go to the end, but even so they have received enough attention, and they will naturally be recruited after the end of the big competition, or the promotion of status.
The end of the morning game was crisp and neat, everything was uneventful, according to the usual practice, those commoners or warriors from small nobles were arranged to compete first, and then lost one by one, only a small number of contestants with really outstanding strength persevered to the end, which is also what the royal family and nobles like to see, after all, most of the real rest are the children of the really powerful families of the Mengyuan Kingdom.
"Lan Yiwen!"
In the afternoon, Lan Yiwen's name sounded in the sky above the arena for the first time.
