Chapter 19: Gaining Trust
Tanna stared at Meng Qingxiao's face for a while, and couldn't help but laugh.
"What's wrong, isn't it?" Meng Qingxiao didn't understand why she was laughing.
"No, it's quite like that." Tanna said, "Well, at least a 9-point likeness." ”
"Is it only a 9-point likeness?" Meng Qingxiao said helplessly, "There's no way, the details on the photo are limited after all, if there is a video, it will be better." ”
"It's okay, anyway, the people of the royal city guards don't dare to stare at my people, and Gania doesn't come often, they don't have such a good memory."
"That's good." Meng Qingxiao nodded, "Since there are no clues here, let's go." ”
Tanna was curious, "Where do you want to investigate next?" ”
Meng Qingxiao thought for a while and said, "Your magic technology here is so developed, there should be a camera installed in the city, why didn't I find out where the camera is?" ”
He said and looked up, this is the dormitory, there must be no cameras, but the lounge outside is not seen.
Tanna shook her head and said: "There are cameras only on the traffic routes, and the neighborhood is full of royal and aristocratic residences, and there are no cameras, they are very concerned about their privacy, and they will not agree to install cameras." ”
"I'll go, then aren't you afraid of theft or assassination or anything like that?"
"I'm afraid, that's why you need guards when you go out, if you are at home, we have guards standing guard at the door, and there will generally be no accidents."
"And what did the king say this time?"
Tanna sighed faintly: "Royal affairs, you don't understand, once the interior is rotten, it is useless to have many personal guards to protect it." ”
"Listening to your tone, it's really sober in the world, what do you seem to know?"
Tanna didn't answer, but changed the subject: "If you believe me, come with me, go back to my place first, if I don't go back for a long time, my guards should also be worried, I'll deal with them first." ”
"Okay." Meng Qingxiao agreed without hesitation, he didn't have much to think about now anyway.
Tanna herself has a small villa, which is a three-story structure, the first floor is above ground, the other two floors are underground, and the underground is not enclosed, the locals have actually created a multi-storey underground kingdom, no matter which floor has streets and pedestrians.
The two of them walked on the basement floor, which was much warmer than the ground, and even if there was a thick glass dome above the ground, it was difficult to completely block the oppressive cold.
While walking, Tanna introduced the surrounding environment to Meng Qingxiao.
"There's a shopping street over there, you shouldn't have been there yet, right? If you have the opportunity, you can go shopping and see the products of our planet. ”
"There's a stadium over there, two streets away from here, and every year there are big sporting events, and we have a sport called pool that's particularly popular here, and there are a lot of international events, even if it's a fight."
"The houses on our right, with an area of almost 300 square meters, are all houses of the royal family and nobles, and civilians cannot enter unless they are called."
"The hierarchy is so strict, don't commoners and untouchables resist?"
"Why should they resist?" Tanna wondered.
"There is a saying in our place, it is called 'princes and generals have a kind of peace', are those princes and generals all born, they are born to be nobler than others? No one wants to be inferior, and when ordinary people can't stand this kind of oppression, they will rise up and resist. ”
"I haven't thought about this question yet, but I don't think they are inferior, I don't look at them with the eyes of slaves anyway, they serve me because I pay them a salary, and if I make me unhappy, I will drive them away, and I will not kill them."
"Hehe, let's not discuss this matter, I'm also idle, and my own troubles haven't been solved, but I'm worried about others."
"Then tell me about your planet, I'm curious."
Meng Qingxiao was curious: "Didn't we carry out a two-day cultural exchange when we first came, and you didn't go?" ”
Tanna shook her head: "No, I wasn't interested at that time. ”
Meng Qingxiao had no choice but to explain it roughly, he felt that he often talked about these things with people, and he quickly changed the topic.
"By the way, why are you Boki men's names different from women's?"
"You want to ask, why don't women's names have the word Bo in front of them?"
"Yes."
"My full name is Tanna Ke Dionta Thewo Yelich, can you remember that name?"
"I can't remember." Meng Qingxiao was stunned and said, "I feel that even if I am asked to read it, I can't read it smoothly." ”
"We Bo people, especially women, don't have so many restrictions on their names, and at the beginning, there were also people who started with Bo, such as my grandmother's generation, and there were many called Bo or something, but when it came to my mother's generation, it was relaxed."
"Now we prefer to use our real name, Tanna is my real name, the back of Kodianta is my mother's name, Tivoye is my father's name, and Leach is my hometown, but the last name is open, for example, my second brother's last name is Xiao Dandong, this is to commemorate my third uncle, use my third uncle's name."
"So your third uncle's name is Bo Xiao, and the one outside the city who was blocked by Bo Han and didn't let him in was your second brother Bo Ao Ke Dionta Tiwo Ye Xiao Dandong?"
"Hehe, about my second brother's name, the order is wrong, he is a man, so I have to put my father's name in front, Boao Tiwo Ye Ke Dionta Xiao Dandong."
"Understood, strange knowledge has increased a little more."
"Hehe, we're here, you try not to talk, just pretend to be very shy, anyway, Cania herself is very timid."
"Hmm."
The entrance of the princess's house was better than the king's study, there were four guards standing guard, they bent down and saluted together when they saw the princess, and the princess ignored them, and took the initiative to take Meng Qingxiao's hand and enter the house.
As soon as you enter the door, a warm breeze hits, and at the same time, there is a fragrant aroma that makes people intoxicated.
It seems that no matter what world women are, they all love beauty, and they all like to make their bodies and homes fragrant.
There was a group of maids cleaning in the room, and when they saw Princess Tanna, they saluted together: "Princess, you are back." ”
"Well, you're busy with yours, leave me alone." Princess Tanna waved her hand, took Meng Qingxiao's hand, and walked straight to the inner house.
Entering the bedroom, the princess's large bed is eye-catching, it is a large round bed like a hovercraft, all ivory white, even the bedding is white, in stark contrast to the black skin of the Boki people, this bed makes it difficult to distinguish which is the head of the bed and which is the foot, all directions can be used as the head of the bed.
There is a large dresser on the right side of the door, and a huge mirror, which can easily reflect Meng Qingxiao's whole body in the mirror.
The chairs in front of the dresser all reached the position of Meng Qingxiao's chest, and he needed to jump before he could sit on it.
As soon as Tanna entered the bedroom, she threw herself on the big bed, stretched her waist, and left Meng Qingxiao there not knowing what to do.
Fortunately, although this princess is a bit of a ghost, she is not a vexatious person, at least she feels very reliable to Meng Qingxiao, she just lay down for a while and got up, came to her dresser, and took out a crystal pendant about the thickness of Meng Qingxiao's thumb from the second small drawer on the left.
"This is the pendant that Tange gave me before he died, and it is also a magic guide device with many functions." Tanna Mo held the pendant and said to Meng Qingxiao.
"How did she die?"
"Frozen to death." Tanna said a word that surprised Meng Qingxiao.
"Frozen to death?"
Meng Qingxiao really felt incredible, it was indeed cold outside the city, but it was not cold inside the city, the room temperature under the dome was only more than minus 20 degrees, this temperature should be nothing for people who live in this star all year round.
"She ran out of town?"
"No, she didn't live here before, but in a small town called Fengyi in the south, where my father met her mother, and the two had a brief one-night stand, so they gave birth to her, but my mother couldn't accept her mother, so they never came to Jirui."
"Three years ago, we fought against the Dongke Dynasty in the north, and the Dongke Dynasty threatened to destroy Jirui City with weapons of mass destruction, and my father sent me to Fengyi for my safety."
"That was the first time I saw Tange, she has six points like a Dieter, three points like a Yuanjia person, and some characteristics of a Nikanla person, she has been frail and sickly since she was a child, so she is very thin, but she is very nice and kind, and we quickly became good friends who talk about everything."
"One day, Tange came to play with me, but we played so crazy that it was getting late, and I wanted her to sleep with me, but her mother came to pick her up in person, saying that Tange was just a civilian, and it didn't matter if she played with me during the day, but she couldn't sleep with me at night, which would break the rules."
"Her mother forcibly dragged her away, but halfway through, they had an accident." Tanna said gloomily, "Fengyi is just a small city, the dome there is in disrepair, and where they passed, it just happened to collapse, and the cold wave instantly hit the ground of the city, and Tange's mother froze to death on the spot in order to protect her. ”
"Although she escaped for a short time, she suffered extensive frostbite all over her body, and she did not last until dawn."
"Early in the morning of the second day, the city lord of Fengyi brought me this pendant, and then explained to me the tragedy of last night."
"Tan Ge's last words were to give me this pendant, she said that it was a talisman given to her by her father, and she hoped that this talisman would bless me with peace for the rest of my life."
"I've always been very sad and feel that I didn't protect her, and if I insist a little longer and don't let her go, she won't have an accident."
"Because I'm afraid to see things and think about people, this pendant has been kept in a drawer, and I have never worn it."
"So you didn't actually see her when she finally died?"
"Yes."
"That's good news." Meng Qingxiao muttered, "It seems that she is not dead, and she has come to Jirui City, but I don't know who she is working for now." ”
