Chapter 128: Departure to Europe
While the sea of clouds and Fluttershy are making the most of their final preparations, Akali heads to the foot of the Tian Shan Mountains, the base camp of the Lucas Crusaders, to meet her father before leaving.
"Father, I am ready to go back to Europe. Akali was half-kneeling.
"Akali, I have sent you back this time, on the one hand, to supervise the supply of food and grass in the rear, and on the other hand, to let you go back to meet your uncle Trist and your sister Katarina, we have been on the expedition for nearly two years, and you must miss them too. ”
"Yes, I've always longed to see them again. Akali replied quietly.
But Akali disagreed, for her uncle, she was disgusted from the bottom of her heart, because of his extreme cruelty and greed, in order to suppress her opponents can do anything, so she was secretly called "Satan's spokesman" by the people.
On the journey of the unification of the Lucas Kingdom, a large number of members of the royal family also died on the battlefield, and when all the dust settled, Lucas I, who was not satisfied with the status quo, decided to launch an eastward crusade, and before leaving, appointed Trist, the only remaining member of the royal family, as the regent of the Lucas Kingdom, and the prime minister of all things in Europe.
Akali thought from the bottom of her heart that her father's decision was problematic, and also proposed it to Lucas I, but Lucas I seemed to have blind trust in him, and instead blamed Akali for not harboring a grudge against Trist, which puzzled Akali, who had always thought that her father was wise and powerful.
As for Katarina, it can be said that Akali is the closest person in this world, when Akali was two years old, Caterina was born in this world as the second princess of Lucas I, but the price was heavy, Akali's mother Queen Vihir died in childbirth, and Akali lost her mother since then.
Akali and Caterina can be said to be children who grew up in the war, and their father was away from home all the year round, and in the huge royal palace, only Akali and Caterina were often the only two little girls who depended on each other, until Akali received training to become a warrior and began to go on the battlefield as a warrior.
For Akali, Caterina is her only relative, her only sister, and she has not felt much family affection since she was a child, so she naturally regards Caterina as very important.
Before leaving, Lucas I left Caterina in Europe for the sake of stabilizing the domestic political situation, as a symbol of the royal power of the Rucas family, although the two girls did not want to separate, but they were unable to resist the reality, so they had to compromise, and from then on, Akali embarked on a journey to the unknown land in the East, while Caterina was left alone in Europe, facing the horror of Trist alone.
For Akali, the biggest hope for this trip is to meet her sister as soon as possible.
"Well, that's good, we're all a family, so don't conflict with each other. Lucas I laughed a few times and continued: "Speaking of which, it seems that a lot of things have happened when you went to the Ten Thousand Snake Hall this time. ”
Lucas I's smiling eyes made Akali feel uncomfortable, but Akali still knelt on the ground, rolled her eyes, and replied: "This time the envoy happened to encounter a disaster in the Ten Thousand Snakes Palace, so I helped them to win their favor, and failed to ask my father in time, and asked for forgiveness." ”
"Haha......" Lucas I laughed, his voice shaking. "What are you guilty of? Although this envoy failed to reach an alliance with the Ten Thousand Snake Temple, it also found out their attitude, and with their promise to join hands against Asura, will you be far from the alliance? Akali, you have done a good job, and it is too late for your father to praise you!"
"Thank you, Father. Akali still didn't have a trace of joy or sorrow, as if everything was dull from her.
"So, early tomorrow morning, you, Yunhai and the Returning Butterfly King will set off. Lucas I shook his head. "I really don't understand why you brought the sea of clouds, let alone why you brought the sea of clouds and the asura tribesman. ”
"Please rest assured that my daughter knows what to expect. Akali's face changed slightly, but she quickly returned to normal, and bowed her head in reply.
Early the next morning.
"Alright, we're all set. At the foot of the Heavenly Mountains, Yunhai and Fluttershy are carrying a backpack and are dressed lightly, and seeing that Akali is already waiting here, they hurriedly greet her.
"You're up early!" Akali turned back when she heard the voices of the two.
"I'm finally able to leave for faraway Europe, I was so excited yesterday that I didn't even sleep!" Fluttershy's eyes sparkle with excitement.
"Hey, if you don't sleep, you won't be able to lift your spirits, and you have to make up for it if you have a chance. Yun Hai's face fell and he said.
"Yes, yes, really, how can it be the same as my housekeeper. Fluttershy responds weakly.
"Don't take it too seriously, it's for your own good. "The sea of clouds does not give up.
"Yes, that's what my butler said. Fluttershy pouts.
"......" Yunhai has no temper at all now.
"You two, the relationship is really good. Although Akali was a little jealous in her heart, she couldn't help but be infected by such a picture and felt warm.
"Cut, I'm annoyed to death by this guy for a day. Fluttershy turns her little head to the side.
"Who are you saying is annoying?" Yun Hai immediately jumped up.
"Okay, okay, it's so good early in the morning. Akali shook her head, then took out two brick-like books and handed them to the two of them.
The two of them took it and looked at it, and found that there was a string of bird words written on it, and they couldn't read it.
Both of them were dumbfounded.
"Akali, what is this, it seems to be made of paper, but it is so much thicker than a book. Yunhai didn't know what Akali meant by giving this to herself.
"Yes, Akali, this thing is not easy to fight, but the stone is strong. Fluttershy, too, picks up the thing and studies it over and over again.
"Well, of course, it's a dictionary. Akali explained with a smile. "When you go to Europe, if you want to communicate with the locals, you must be able to speak our European language, just like when I first learned the language of China. ”
"How long should it take, shouldn't it take long?" Yun Hai asked tentatively.
"Well, I don't think I'm smart, if a smart kid like Fluttershy had worked harder, he would have learned it quickly, but you stupid......"
Akali glanced at the sea of clouds and shook her head helplessly.
"You look down on me?" Yun Hai instantly felt provoked, and shouted: "Look how quickly I can learn, if I ask you a question, you can't help but tell me!"
"That's natural, this princess's make-up class during this time is free~"
"If I could be compared to you, wouldn't I be dumber than a fool?" Fluttershy instantly boosted her morale and said, "This princess will be able to learn faster than you!"
"How is it possible!" Yun Hai was not to be outdone. "It only took me half an hour to learn Huang Tianzheng, and how difficult it is to learn a language. ”
"Okay, the sun has risen so high, and we're still grinding here. Akali interrupted the argument. "Let's hurry to Europe, and talk slowly about what is going on the way. ”
So, the three of them finally embarked on a journey to Europe.
The speed of the flying sword can travel thousands of miles a day, and the distance from Yumen Pass to Europe is 100,000 miles, and the three of them have eaten and slept along the way, and finally it took a month and a half to reach Europe at the other end of the world.
Finally, the trio arrived at a small town in Eastern Europe and stopped.
"Hey, what's going on here?"
As soon as they entered the town, the three of them sensed an abnormality.
"Akali, how do I feel like this town has just been attacked?" Yun Hai pointed to the blackened marks on the ground, and the soldiers patrolling back and forth in armor on the streets, all showing a warlike look.
"What kind of war will there be here, obviously the opponents have been wiped out......" Akali subconsciously frowned, casually stopped a soldier and asked, "This, may I ask where your commander is." ”
The soldier was stunned at first when he saw that he was a very beautiful woman, followed by two yellow-skinned men, but he noticed the luxurious armor and weapons of Akali, which was definitely the attire of nobles, so he replied: "Miss Report, our town is under attack by a group of bandits, and the commander has commanded the battle, and he is not in the town. ”
"Bandits?" the three of them glanced at each other, and they all felt that something was incongruous.
"So, where are the bandits?" Akali continued.
"It's near the church at the southern end of town. The soldier pointed at him from afar.
"I see, thank you. ”
"My pleasure. ”
When the soldier was gone, the three of them were put together on the spot.
"In that case, we'd better go to that church and have a look, if there are really bandits entrenched there and harming the village, how can we turn a blind eye and let it run rampant?" Yunhai proposed.
"That's it, dare to bully the common people, and just beat him up!" Fluttershy said, waving her fist.
"It's good that you dare to kill people and oversell goods in the holy church, the Lord can't forgive such an act, we must exterminate this group of hateful bandits!" Akali narrowed her eyes, and a faint chill filled her body.
So, the three of them agreed to go to the church first to find out what a mad bandit was. He actually did the most despicable deeds in the holiest place in the hearts of Europeans.
