Chapter 44: A long-lost encounter, of course, must be comedy
Around the high walls was an artificial moat, which branched out into the city.
Connecting the inside and outside of the city is a sturdy stone arch bridge, with patrolling soldiers at both ends of the bridge, and a silver insignia of swords and shields on their right shoulders, belonging to the members of the Royal Order.
Just as Yu Qing and the others were about to cross the stone bridge, two guards crossed their spears together and blocked their way.
"Excuse me, please show me your pass."
"The old witch... Pass..."Yu Qing lifted the curtain and knocked on the wooden board a few more times, this movement made the guards very vigilant, "Old witch, I want a pass ahead, wake up." β
"It's really, what a noise."
Artoria yawned and stretched, then poked her head out of the carriage and squinted her eyes and said, "What's the matter?" Didn't you see Miss Ben sleeping in beauty? β
"Artoria-sama, it's Artoria-sama. Artoria-sama, I'm a fan of yours, could you sign me? One of the guards was so excited that he didn't even know that the spear in his hand had fallen to the ground, and he quickly took out a small notebook from the storage bag he was carrying and asked her to sign it.
Artoria-sama? Still use honorifics? Just this old witch?
"Hahaha..."Seeing Yu Qing's face in disbelief, Artoria rubbed his face vigorously with both hands, "Little guy, Miss Ben is very famous in the royal capital, remember to be more respectful to me in the future, adults don't need to, just call Miss Ben the first magical beautiful girl in Atlantic." β
"Oh... Hahaha..."
Cut, megalomaniac.
Yu Qing looked at Artoria's smug appearance, and he couldn't wait to pretend not to know her immediately.
After signing the name, the guard seemed to notice Yu Qing, and asked softly, "This must be the little master of the adult's family." β
Little master? I'm still single, Altoria! But you can't get angry in front of your fans, it will damage your image, it will damage your image.
"He is the runaway boy I just rescued from the Black Dragon Mountain Range, I am going to take him into the city now to teach him my little magic secrets, so that he can go to the peak of his life from now on, marry Bai Fumei, and live a rich and warm life."
Yes? What the heck? Yu Qing looked at Artoria for a while.
"Mistress Artoria is not only magical, but also beautiful, and I'm really... I'm adoring you more and more. β
"Oh... Hahaha... Where, where. β
"Oh, by the way, don't tell anyone about my return, you know, I'm very low-key."
"Hmm......" The guard took out a tissue and blew his nose, waved his hand, and watched them cross the bridge with a warm gaze, still muttering, "Lord Artoria, Lord Artoria." β
"Hey, what a pitiful, poor man who was poisoned by the old witch." Yu Qing couldn't help but sigh, turned back and continued to drive the carriage, his eyes full of Atlantic hands towards him.
"You said yes, Midori."

βQQQβββ
The capital of Atlantic also happens to be called Atlantia.
It is said that this is in honor of the first founding king of Atlanta, who led the people of Atlantic from endless darkness to light, and he was also the first to lead people to rise up in the chaos of the war of the gods, and the pioneer has become synonymous with him.
The night gives me dark eyes, and I use them to seek the light.
"Hara: The night gave me black eyes, and I used them to find light. Excerpt from Gu Cheng's "Generation"
This is the traditional song of the Atlantics, composed by the Atlanks, and this ballad is also very famous in the whole Pan-Ancient Continent.
"Little one, we're here." Artoria's words made him stop his voice and look up, the glorious castle that made his eyes shine.
This was the first time Yu Qing had seen such a beautiful castle, and he suddenly forgot the unpleasantness he had just had, and looked ahead with great appreciation.
However, his smile was all in Artoria's eyes, and he asked, "Is it the first time you have seen the castle?" β
"Hmm!" Yu Qing looked left and right at the castle, and he was like a hillbilly who had just entered the city. "My parents never brought me to the royal capital."
The castle occupies people's attention, it is built in the middle of the most prosperous city, its architecture is like what I see in my book, very European medieval style, but there is a very unique thing is that the castle faΓ§ade is inlaid with water blue, I don't know whether it is glass or crystal.
Under the reflection of the sun, the castle emits inexplicable colored light, which flickers in a dappled and bizarre way, which is extremely luxurious and beautiful in the world.
Artoria couldn't help but complain in the bottom of her heart.
Uncle Arthur, it really is! Don't let this little guy know anything.
"You little fellow who has never seen the world take this opportunity to take a look, and never again, oh no, you won't see such a spectacular sight for at least a year or two."
Yu Qing was puzzled, "Why, aren't we going to live in the royal capital, why can't we see it, are you going to sell it as a slave." Thinking of this, Yu Qing felt a chill, and then touched his little face that he thought was handsome and extraordinary.
Don't? Hey! This old woman is disgusting!!
"Because I'm poor, do you think that the central area of the royal capital is the price of cabbage, any one or two parties are enough for me to eat for a year, not to mention that not everyone comes to me to buy medicine."
"Hey, hey, I warn you, don't look at me with any kind of eyes."
Yes! A scream came.
I saw Yu Qing squatting on the ground and touching the swollen bag on her head, as if it was still breathing, like a freshly baked bun, while Artoril was holding her precious Mithril Staff with her hands on her chest, her little face bulging with anger.
Hum! Dare to look at Miss Ben like that, I'm not the kind of old witch that no one wants.
Wait, Artoria, what are you thinking?
"Hey..."
Artoria saw that Yu Qing had something to say, and thought that she was begging for mercy from herself, so she raised her noble head and said to him, "Then you can say it, if it sounds good, Miss Ben will forgive you." β
Phew, it's shameless, I'm a lot older, and I'm still a Miss Ben!
Yu Qing looked at the slender swan neck, and said secretly in her heart, no matter how she wants to retaliate against me, I must let her out of trouble today.
I saw Yu Qing suddenly stand up and shout around, wiping away his non-existent tears while shouting at him.
"Come on, come on, come on, there is an old aunt who is dissatisfied with her desire to abduct Xiao Zhengtai, the old aunt abducts Xiao Zhengtai, but I am still a child, I am really not ashamed, woo woo woo ......"
Yu Qing's shout attracted all the men, women and children around him, and even the hawkers temporarily put down their work and walked towards them, wanting to see the excitement.
Old aunt? Xiao Zhengtai?
"It's not what you think, it's not what you think, he's my little brother, he has a bit of a problem with his brain, he talks about everything, it's not right, it's not right, it's spreading rumors everywhere, talking nonsense, and doing nonsense."
Seeing that more and more people were surrounding them, Artoria pulled her magic hat down to cover her face, and hurriedly explained to everyone, but the more she explained, the more she couldn't explain it.
Younger brother? Talking nonsense? It's getting more and more interesting.
Everyone looked at the familiar robe and magic wand, but because Artoria's magic hat was pulled so low that it almost covered her entire face, they couldn't remember who she was for a while, and they all pointed fingers.
"Look at her, she's still a magician, it's a shame for us magicians."
"I can't see my face clearly, but well, I'm in good shape."
"This young lady, you let this child go, you see that he is still so young, I am willing to replace him, you can arrest me, I am willing to be your ......"
Artoria saw that the more people talked about it, she couldn't bear it anymore.
"Wind Technique."
Poof! Poof! Poof!
Artoria waved the Mithril staff, and a cyan magic circle quickly formed at her feet, with a huge tornado pattern on it, only to see a storm appear out of thin air, sweeping everyone who had just judged them into the river near the castle.
"Little bastard, I'll settle accounts with you later!" Artoria gritted her teeth and stared at Yu Qing, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention now, she lifted his back collar and ran wildly, without the slightest loss of ladylike demeanor.
It was not surprising that Yu Qing's clothes had reinforced inscriptions, but where did Artoria get the strength to carry him around.
Woman, it is indeed a dangerous creature, which makes people wonder through.
Suddenly, a young girl came into Yu Qing's eyes.
The long red hair was neatly scattered on her forehead and neck, but the face was still clearly visible to Yu Qing, a pair of amber eyes shining like jewels in the sun, thin pale pink lips, white excessive skin, and the brilliant blonde hair looked particularly dazzling in the sun.
Angeli?! How could she be here?!
"Anjiali, let's go, Curis and they are still waiting for us."
A crisp female voice came, and I saw a girl wearing a silver-white diamond-encrusted crown and long brown and yellow curly hair coming from a distance in an open-top carriage pulled by two white horses.
It was the most special eye color he'd ever seen.
"Mr. Graeme, please stop, Anjiali, what are you doing here, I will be looking for it for a while."
When the carriage stopped, the girl reached out to help Angeli get into the carriage.
"It's okay, Ellie."
"Really, Anjiali, I heard that there was a circus show at Qiaotou just now, you don't want to go to see it." "I, Yu Qing, am not a circus, at most a monkey."
Sou! A gust of wind blew, and the sand and gravel rose everywhere, causing the two of them to close their eyes.
"Anjiali, have you seen a person running over from here, and she has something in her hand."
"That'...... Is it also a person? "Still, it looks like I've seen that man somewhere.
