Chapter 590: The Last
Maybe it was Zhang Lisheng's promise that made Ya Ji see the dawn of getting out of a desperate situation, or maybe the camouflage technique that every successful businessman must be good at made her regain control of her emotions after a night of precipitation, and the smiling expression of the businesswoman in the cloud fairy white dress with crystal light shining all over her body at this time was diametrically opposed to the bitterness, struggle, and determination of last night.
"The masquerade sounds interesting," Zhang Lisheng on the side fiddled with the black top hat in his hand, looked at the six-wheeled carriage surrounded by emerald green vines at the bottom of the steps, and asked, "What is my role?"
"Thunderbolt Physician Du Pond, who, in the legend of 'Cataman', was able to draw lightning and turn the bodies of dead patients into diamonds, so he worked part-time as the richest jeweler in the entire city-state in addition to being a doctor. Aki replied with a smile.
"What a bizarre legend. Zhang Lisheng pouted and walked down the stairs, ignoring the businesswoman behind him to introduce their respective characters to the interested French guests, and got into the carriage.
Closing the car door, the young man opened his mouth and let out a breath, and saw that the faint white mist that appeared in the cold air slowly condensed in the air and turned into a water mirror as thin as a cicada's wings.
Tall ship sculptures, farmland that has just turned green, vast fields on the outskirts, cities caught in carnival... The images in the water mirror change from blurry to clear, and soon all that remains is an endless ocean.
Waiting for a bird's-eye view to quickly sweep across the rippling sea, from far to near, suddenly a powerful army composed of hundreds of steel giant ships, a dozen black-hulled biological warships with a slightly smaller floating load and sinking volume, and countless short but strong and hideous native warriors, and murderous war partners broke into Zhang Lisheng's eyes.
"Now it's 'everything is in order, only the east wind is owed'. I hope that there will be a glorious victory in the evening to bring the old year to a successful end..."Looking at the Wuli expeditionary army, which was ready to set fire to the flames of war as soon as the morning arrived, the young man muttered, and as soon as he heard the sound of the car door being pushed, he reached out and tore the water mirror apart, causing it to disappear into the void.
"Our carriage is modeled after the fruit of the 'Vine of Babel,'" said the businesswoman, who continued to gush through the carriage as the door opened, and Jaggie, Roman, and the five Farrans entered, "and it took eight months to build it in secret.
Every year in the New Year's Masquerade, the people choose the two most ingenious carriages. The limousine is played by Her Majesty the Goddess of the Sea, Tina, and Her Majesty the Sea Emperor Bourbonde, her favorite voter. to ring the Poseidon Bell, so the major trading houses will make hollow comparisons with each other. ”
As she spoke, the carriage slowly drove up, gradually accelerating under the pull of six white pure-blooded riding beasts, and soon left the Golden Flower Terrier Manor. Galloped on the spacious avenue on the outskirts of the city.
However, at this time, the carriages of other wealthy manors also drove out. Roads are getting congested. By the time they reached the city gate, the speed had turned into a slow wriggling.
"Jagi, the carriage is exactly like the white clouds in the sky, and it swings on its own;
And voila. And the sea beast carriage here also seems to be alive," as if infected by the joyful atmosphere around her, as if infected by the joyful atmosphere around her, Selinya happily looked left and right through the window, "Oh, I thought our carriage was chic enough, but now it seems that their carriage seems to be better, which is really frustrating..."
"Your Highness Serinya, let me tell you a little secret, the carriage under our feet has hidden magic arrays and hedrons, which can fly, and can also release huge vine rhizome phantoms. Princess Guanlan became more excited as she spoke, and Roman suddenly smiled and said: "This is an ingenious idea that I came up with myself, and this year's 'Golden Velvet Flower' car will definitely be selected as the Poseidon's limousine." ”
"Magic Array, decorate a carriage with this strategic amount of power," Serinya's expression was not the surprise that Roman had imagined, but the surprise, "This is simply crazy, it's unbelievable that the high-level caster of 'Cataman' would be willing to do such a thing." ”
"Noble princess, have you not heard the proverb, 'There is nothing in the Cathaman that cannot be exchanged for gold coins', as long as you can afford the price, it is not a big deal. Roman no longer looked like he had lost his soul last night, and smiled at Serinya in high spirits, and turned his gaze to Yaji, "Dear sister, give me the magic wand that controls the magic array, and let's fly into the city." ”
"Roman, is your brain rusty, we just experienced a storm of being almost forced into the streets and displaced by debt, how can we still keep the spars and magic circles on the carriage and not sell them. The businesswoman said to her brother as sarcastically as ever, causing Roman's face to turn red.
When the carriage drove into the city of Heinheimman, the smug straw bale no longer had the shame to stay in the carriage, pretending to see a friend, pushing the door and hurriedly blending into the crowd of people who were singing and dancing in the carriages of different shapes.
After Roman left, Novena seemed to be attracted by the reveling crowds and the endless food in the streets, and Da Lu smiled and left the carriage, with the two Francois maidens except Serinya.
After a while, only four of the eight passengers in the carriage remained, and the atmosphere became inexplicably much more subtle, but fortunately, it was not embarrassing to have Princess Fran ask questions.
"Jagi, there's music all over the city, is there a band hidden in every house on the street?"
"There aren't so many musicians in Heinheimmann City, Your Highness, there are countless large 'music boxes' that play music, don't you hear that these cheerful music is repeated all the time. ”
Princess Fran listened attentively, and after a while, she replied excitedly: "The music is really repeating, the music box I have seen before can only make a few sounds, but the music box of 'Heinhemann' can play the whole dance music, it is incredible." ”
"That's all the function of an alchemist, and Selinya, the most common spellcaster in the Catamane city-state is an alchemist, because only here can they buy the most complete alchemy materials and turn their ideas into reality. The businesswoman said proudly.
"Yagki, your homeland is a great country. Prince Fran on the side complimented him in a timely manner, and then Selinya's slightly embarrassed exclamation sounded in the carriage, "The streets are full of food, and the amount is enough to feed all the poor people in the entire 'Green Leaf Continent', Heinheim Manchester City is really rich."
In Fran, not to mention servants or serfs, even decent freemen could not enjoy such a meal on New Year's Day.
Sir Li Sheng, if the river of golden sand that you spoke of last night really existed, then I would be able to lend you a large sum of money, so that the people of Fran could live in abundance. ”
Princess Fran's words sounded childish and innocent, but they made the businesswoman and his brother change their expressions, Zhang Lisheng felt the subtle change in the atmosphere, and secretly laughed in his heart that these landers were about to suffer a catastrophe, but they were still thinking about seeking their own gold, but they just smiled noncommittally on the surface.
Seeing that he didn't say a word, Selinya smiled angelically, as if she wanted to say a few words for the poor Francois, but Jaki was the first to speak: "Are you hungry, there are jam bread and black tea in the car, or it would be good to go down and eat some street food, anyway, the carriage is going so slowly, you can come back at any time."
Your Excellency Li Sheng, are you interested in the 'Heinhemann' New Year's feast of bacon, vegetables and fruits?"
"I'd love to give it a try. The young man nodded with interest at the businesswoman's implicit invitation, and the two of them got out of the carriage.
Just the interval between the first floor of the carriage, the enthusiastic cheers and singing in the streets became deafening.
In the middle of the wide stone road, there were people running in and out of the 'long snake' composed of thousands of gorgeous carriages from time to time, so Zhang Lisheng and Yaji did not attract too many revelers' attention, but there were still men whose eyes lit up after seeing the beautiful face of the businesswoman, and they scrambled to scatter the dried petals in their pockets on her body.
This seems to be a tradition of the New Year's parade in Heinheimmann, where you can see that the more beautiful the girl in the crowd, the more petals will stick to her body.
Entering the crowd in a rain of flowers, and being surrounded by a crowd of people moving forward slowly, Zhang Lisheng was gradually infected by the joyful atmosphere of the city, and he really relaxed for a while, sometimes crowding to the side of the street, drinking wine and juice while feasting;
Sometimes singing, dancing, cheering and shouting, like the ordinary land people and young people around him, followed the procession through the blocks with great interest, and rushed to the magnificent 'central square' when it was getting late and the whole Heinheimmann City lit countless candles.
It is a magnificent circular square in the middle of the city, with rough polished rough stones, three steps higher than the surrounding flat ground, and so large that it is impossible to see the other side when viewed from one side.
Hundreds of fine white stone statues are scattered along the edge of the square, mainly focusing on historical figures, but the large sculpture groups are mostly in the shape of ships and the sea.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, a few people tall from the ground, magically suspended in mid-air under the illumination of a canopy of magical flames, the statues of Venerable Zun appear lifelike, but when people first step into this impossibly spectacular square, they will never notice the statues around them, and their eyes are destined to stay on the radiant hall in the middle that seems to be carved from gold.
"Your Excellency Li Sheng, we have reached the end of our parade tonight. Ya Ji, who had been following Zhang Lisheng from noon to night, but never said a word, pointed to the hall like a golden ear of wheat left by a god in the mortal world after the two of them climbed the steps of the square and said: "That is the symbol of Heinheimmann City, the Hall of Abundance."
