Chapter Eighty-Five: The New Summer Palace (Ask for the first order!) )
Mercury was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer him.
Xia Lian didn't mean to tease her anymore, but continued.
"Let's go, we need to get back to the Eternal Night Star, or we'll have a bunch of things to do."
Mercury bowed, and then followed Xia Lian onto the surface.
The metal frisbee flew to their feet again, and then took them to their final destination on their trip.
Xia Lian's real home - the new summer palace.
It was the only building built on a hill in the middle of the plain, and there were no mountains around it, so the mountain was called the Lonely Mountain.
The Helios family has lasted for so many years, and of course there will be some arrogant and lascivious dukes, such as Xia Lian's grandfather.
The one he has lived in this life is called a cool, which left Xia Lian's father a lot of trouble, but also left something to make them happy.
The palace in front of him is the masterpiece of his grandfather in his old age, the building is built on the mountain, with a building in front of the mountain as the main extension, compared to the classical summer palace, this building is very modern, with white as the main body.
There are 1,477 halls and rooms in the palace, including a ceremony hall, a concert hall, a banquet hall, an entertainment hall, a swimming pool, and a gallery, and a vast imperial garden outside the palace.
Inside the palace, you can see many valuable carpets and exquisite furniture, most of which are the work of famous artists.
Now that these artists are gone, anything here can be auctioned for a sky-high price.
Passing through the main hall and passing through the elevator of the building, Xia Lian went to the building on the lonely mountain with Mercury and others.
In the elevator room, you can see the scenery of the lonely mountain top through the transparent glass.
At the top of the lonely mountain was a small plain of eighteen hectares, which had been protected by his grandfather, and the green grass grew all over the plain, and because it was regularly tended, the grass was the same height, and it looked very comfortable.
In the middle of this plain, there is a large natural lake, the water of the lake is clear, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, a breeze blows through the lake and ripples, driving the grass to sway.
There is also a huge tree with pink leaves, some of which resemble cherry blossom trees, but it is a plant unique to the planet, and it is very spectacular in all seasons.
Standing on the plain, you can see the entire Sun City at a glance.
Beautiful, right?
If only you knew that his grandfather used to run a silver party here.
Isn't that it.....
It's even more beautiful.
It's better to be a faint gentleman.
Xia Lian sighed in his heart.
When the task assigned by Alayah is completed, he will touch the fish, and with the system of the principality, it is actually quite simple to touch the fish.
The tradition of his old Xia family can't be cut off from him!
He was going to go back to his room first, and then find a place to put a portal.
But as he walked down the corridor back to his room, several women dressed as maids approached.
The maid at the head looked to be about thirty years old, her hair was tied into a dangerous hairstyle, hanging in a dangerous direction, and her appearance was on the mature side.
There was a lingering sadness in the corner of his eyes, and he looked very sad these days.
Her name is Teresa and she is the head maid.
Xia Lian remembered that she was the maid of their family, and she should also be a reformer, because her silver hair was particularly conspicuous, but she was not biased towards the combat type, but the housekeeping type.
Obviously, she also has a certain amount of combat power, in order to be able to protect the prince inside the palace in an emergency.
Transformer people live longer, and loyalty is almost unquestionable, which can better ensure the safety of the royal family.
Seeing Xia Lian, Teresa curtsied at him.
"Mayor Sulphur has told me what happened in the Supreme Council, and welcomes your return, Your Highness."
"Long time no see, Teresa." Xia Lian said with a smile.
Teresa smiled and said.
"Please follow me to the side hall, Your Highness, the sect elder has assigned me some tasks."
Xia Lian looked at Mercury a little helplessly, and through the AS system, she communicated with her consciousness: "I'll just say that we have to hurry up and catch it." ”
Mercury didn't reply.
Then, Xia Lian turned his head to Teresa and replied.
"Okay."
Teresa's task is very simple, that is, to measure Xia Lian, and then confirm some details of the ceremony, all the major ceremonies of the Helios family, including marriage, are to wear military uniforms.
The Helios family, whether they are direct or not, must join the army.
Xia Lian was not yet old enough to join the army, so he did not have a military uniform, but the Duke of Helios automatically inherited the position of marshal of the principality, so they would customize a marshal uniform for Xia Lian.
"Are you wearing clothes made of micro-nano molecules?" Teresa asked.
Xia Lian bowed.
"No wonder I can't measure your body measurements."
Xia Lian suddenly wanted to control the micro nano to take it off.
Then he heard the mercury channel.
"I have the data."
Then, she looked at Teresa, "Sent." ”
Teresa bowed, the data sent by the mercury was projected on her iris, and she looked at the data in front of her, her eyes flickered slightly.
She sighed, "More than ten years ago, it was also here, and I was like this, measuring the size of the military uniform that your father was going to wear.
At the time, he was only in his twenties and in high spirits.
He told me very firmly that he must sweep away all the darkness of the principality so that every people can have happiness.
He succeeded, and he fulfilled his promises.
We all thought he could bring Helios to glory again, but ....."
Theresa's eyes were filled with sadness.
"Fate, it's always so ironic."
Teresa came back to her senses and squeezed out a smile.
"I'm sorry, my emotions are a little out of control."
"It's okay, I share the same grief as you." Xia Lian said, "I will eventually inherit his fate." ”
"I believe it." Teresa laughed.
"Also, how about blue velvet for the fabric of your knight's cloak? Goes well with your eyes. Teresa said.
"I'll leave these matters to you." Xia Lian said helplessly.
Before the founding group of people declared the empire a new monarchy, mankind had not had such a system for more than 10,000 years.
They had no experience, but they did everything they could to show the dignity of their aristocrats and the legitimacy of their power.
For example, to find your own ancestors, each family basically has one or two nobles on the ancestors, and there are also these rituals.
The first is the retro clothing, the knight's cloak or something.
Then it was a matter of finding records of the ritual from the historical materials in the various ruins that archaeologists had dug up, and then stitching them together.
As Xia Lian knew alone, these ceremonies were stitched together with English, Chinese, and some things.
Can you imagine that Charlen would have to give God three sticks of incense to his old man after he was crowned in the church?
And..... A church is more appropriate than a pantheon, and its contents have a considerable impact on the soul of a twenty-first century.
On the left side of the door is God, in the middle is Sanqing, and on the right is the Buddha.
If you are not afraid that they are not spiritual, you are afraid of their spirit.
"What kind of car do you want to take when you're cruising around Cité Soleil? Carriage? ”
"Huh?"
Xia Lian's eyebrows were slightly raised.
Leaders, parades, cars?
He thought for a moment.
"Open top, it's more accessible to the people."
Teresa bowed, "That makes sense, then sit on the top." ”
"Is there a street speech? That's even happier. ”
"There's a TV speech, it's too dangerous to speak on the streets, Your Highness."
"Okay."
They chatted for several hours, and after confirming a bunch of miscellaneous things, Xia Lian finally returned to his room empty.
The room is not large, only more than 100 square meters, with sofas and beds customized by artists, as well as some standard luxurious carpets and walls wrapped in high-grade velvet.
Along the way, Xia Lian, a soul from the twenty-first century, felt that he might either go to the guillotine or hang the street lamp in the future.
Xia Lian placed a portal in a non-open place next to the outdoor pool connected to his room, connected to the power supply, and then collapsed directly on the silk quilt on the bed.
This journey home can be said to be the most tiring journey since Xia Lian was reincarnated in this world, and he didn't even have time to sort out the data that Mercury desperately obtained.
"Ah~ I really want to be a faint king."
"According to the current situation, if you follow the example of Xia Liegong now, there is a forty-nine percent chance that Helios will die." Mercury said.
"You're still as humorous as ever." Xia Lian said with a smile.
He looked at Mithril, "Mithril, you go back to the Star Destroyer first, there's a lot going on there, Orichalcum is protecting those scientists, and Fenrir's transformation will need your database very much." ”
"Yes." Mithril answered, and then left the place, returning to space through the portal.
Then, Xia Lian looked at the mercury who had been standing on the side...
