Chapter 494: Returning Home for the New Year (3)

"You're clearly going against the sky!" After listening to Long Jiaotian's request for the shovel, Alicia couldn't help but sigh with her hand, "Will you be the first person in Drow Liwen to propose the idea of creating an artifact that is invincible in the hands of the soldiers of the Celestial Empire?"

"Huh, how can something that is not enchanted and made of mortal iron be an artifact?" Long Jiaotian was puzzled, "At most, it can be used for civil engineering. ”

[That's because you don't know that there is a kind of fortification called a trench in this world, and you don't know how pleasant it is to have a cold weapon in your hand when the enemy rushes to the position, and then the two sides run out of bullets and start hand-to-hand combat with each other. 】

Alicia shook her head and dragged her thoughts back, "Well, it doesn't count just now. Long Jiaotian, I have the kind of shovel you want, but I can't give it to you until you tell me why you need it. ”

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately aroused everyone's curiosity. Everyone brought chairs from Uncle Parker's shop and sat in a circle, quietly listening to the little pastor's narration.

It's been more than a month since the Protoss arrived. Although this event caused a great deal of repercussions, the influence of the Holy See still did not increase significantlyβ€”thanks to Master Byrez, many academies were established in the Western Continent. While they are responsible for guiding students to cultivate their own strength, they also impart various knowledge to students, inheriting the brilliant civilization of the Western Continent.

Historical knowledge is naturally included as well.

Large-scale education has shattered the blind superstitions that humans and other races have developed in the gods under the beautification of the Holy See. Through the study of ancient documents, everyone understands that the Protoss is nothing more than a very powerful race in another plane. They are creatures of the Creator God just like themselves; The Protoss was given the glorious mission of defending Drowlivan by the God of Creation. Therefore, the gods are not gods in the true sense of the word, and the only true gods are the greatest creation gods.

The selfless and powerful are worthy of respect, and the return of these allies, who had shed so much blood in the land of Drowlivan, is greatly welcomed by humans and other races, but only by heart. They will never obey them as the Holy See does.

And for the Holy See, which regards the Protoss as a god, the reaction of the people on the mainland is inevitably too bland. Lane, who had just taken office for a short time, was eager to do something big to consolidate his position and prestige, so when Geludran approached him and asked him to set up magic arrays in several specific locations on the mainland to complete some kind of "miracle", the new pope immediately agreed.

Kalenga is one of them.

As a nun in the small town of Kalenga, Long Jiaotian was appointed by the top of the Holy See as a local guide for the construction team. The warm-hearted little priest diligently led the team around the town to find a suitable location, explained the reasons for the construction to the disgruntled townspeople, and arranged the logistics for the team...... The leader of the team praised again and again, and reported her achievements to the higher-ups. If nothing else, Long Jiaotian is estimated to be promoted after the construction is completed.

But there was another person living in Kalengari, and that was Vakis.

Returning to her hometown during the winter break, Vacis was at first unconcerned about the Holy See's project. Girls who are afraid of seeing people rarely go out, and hide at home every day to help her brother deal with the furs of various animals he hunts. Until one day, when she was going to the market to buy New Year's goods, Vasis suddenly felt a very strange magic fluctuation at the construction site not far away, and out of curiosity, she quietly touched it to see what was going on. Unexpectedly, he was hit by Long Jiaotian.

Long Jiaotian knew Vaqis, and knew that she was a student of the Hope Garden's Department of Magic, so he didn't pursue her sneaking into the construction site without permission. However, after Vasis approached the construction site, the uneasiness in her heart became stronger, and after she explained to Long Jiaotian, the conscientious and responsible priest asked the builder and the passing adventurer mage successively. None of them felt abnormal, and Long Jiaotian then gave Vacis a health check-up, which showed that the girl was physically and mentally normal. ...,

So the question arises: what is the discomfort in Vacis's heart about the magic array under construction, it can't be that Ya is committing a second disease, right?

Long Jiaotian finally found the team leader and asked him about the efficacy of the magic array, but was coldly rejected by the other party who had always greeted him with a smile. It is precisely because of the abnormal attitude of the team leader. Long Jiaotian couldn't help but start to have doubts about this. The two girls found an abandoned and uninhabited house near the construction site, and quietly dug a tunnel underneath to investigate the magic circle in detail - but it was clear that the two of them could not bear the hard work. So he took the opportunity of the disbandment of the construction team at the end of the year to return to his hometown. The two of them visit famous blacksmith shops around the world to make suitable tools, and the last one happens to be Uncle Parker's shop.

At the same time, I happened to meet Ilya and others.

"I see. After listening to the narration, Sophia muttered as she tapped her chin with a folding fan. "But Long Jiaotian, since the construction team is no longer there, why don't you go directly to the construction site to check?"

"Do you think I didn't think so?". Long Jiaotian said with a smile when he heard this, "The core part of the entire construction site is sealed and protected by a powerful enchantment, and it is impossible to break through without level 4 strength." And even if the barrier is destroyed, such a big movement will inevitably attract the attention of others, and I believe that the news will soon reach the Holy See, where can I check it with peace of mind?"

Parker nodded and stroked his rough lips and muttered, "So digging a tunnel is the safest thing to do." You can't enchant the shovel for fear of being detected by the enchantment...... Girls, let's be honest, if you have good boys, it's better to let them do this kind of physical work. And there's no danger of leaking out. ”

The two of them immediately hurriedly blushed and shook their heads like rattles, desperately denying it.

Alicia stretched casually, yawned pleasantly in the warmth of the blazing fire, and said, "Well, I understand what you said. That's it, Long Jiaotian, Vachisi. The two of you go back for the New Year with peace of mind. We'll be in Karinga on the 5th or 6th of January to investigate with you. ”

Sophia's hand, which was about to open the folding fan gracefully, froze on the spot like a plaster, and made the delicate fan look like it was half-open and half-closed: "Uh, I'm sorry Elicia, did you just say 'us'?"

"Of course, like the lonely protagonist in a Hollywood blockbuster, he bravely braved the demon cave alone, blew away the miscellaneous soldiers, smashed weapons, and wreaked havoc, and finally succeeded in luring out the boss three times and dividing five by two, cutting it into slices and other things, I won't do it! That kind of bullet saw him, all automatically turned around and detoured, and the human enemy saw him, and his IQ instantly plummeted to the largest single digit, and the monsters always had to put a pose before catching him, wasting time, and the result was overturned instead, even if the alien was armed to the teeth with high-tech weapons, he would be crushed under the breath of Wang Ba, who accidentally shook out, and the super protagonist appeared in YY Wen, Bloody Wen and various blockbusters. In the light novel, the protagonist takes a large group of violent Hou (Divine Beast) palace girls and a few friends to form a justice team, selling cuteness, playing daily shows, throwing away festivals, and killing the final boss alive or something, which is the royal plot!

When everyone looked at their complicated eyes full of "you are scum", Ilya, who was innocently shot, couldn't help but shrink her head in a cold sweat.

Long Jiaotian obviously didn't intend to mess with the speechless Shura field in front of her, she hurriedly pulled Vaqisi to stand up and walked towards the door while sneering and saying, "That's, that's it." Vacis and I will go back to Kalenga for the New Year, so don't miss your appointment. ”...,

After opening the door, the two fled in a hurry.

What are the remaining girls going to do next?Parker couldn't help but feel dizzy as he looked at the beautiful Alysia and the elegant Sophia. God, this shop for the common people, only after a simple decoration of the blacksmith shop, there is now an imperial queen and an imperial princess. Who will believe it!

After a long silence, Parker, as an elder, took the lead and carefully saluted Alicia before speaking, "That, Her Majesty ......"

"Don't worry, uncle. Little Lori waved her hand nonchalantly and said. "I happened to pass by with this pink hair, and then I planned to spend the New Year with you in its happy atmosphere, and there was a lot of trouble during this time. ”

Forget about other princesses, it's not surprising that similar flags often appear in romance novels that are too romantic and burn out their brains;

Because he had met once before, Parker, who had a little bit of a clue about Little Lori's unwritten character, decisively stopped worrying about the identity of the other party, and indifferently recruited his son to his side and said, "Li Huayin, that little girl." Did she go back first? Doesn't she come back every year to say hello?"

Recalling the previous situation when someone was entangled in his face and wanted to sleep in his own house, and finally provoked the blonde Lori, and then she was electrocuted into black charcoal, rolled in the snow, knocked on the door of the Li family on the opposite side, and kicked the strange object in, Ilya felt that it was better not to say it: "Yes, she went back first." Father. Is there enough spare room in the house?".

"Why, are you really going to let them stay?" said the uncle, with a look of consternation. "Aren't you afraid of snubbing them?"

"Otherwise, what else, would you invite them out to stay in a hotel?"

Parker was speechless. After glancing at the two girls who were chatting with Mao'er by the fire not far away, he patted his son on the shoulder and sighed: "Anyway, you can do it yourself." ”

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”I'm the dividing line for myselfβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Although it is the end of the year, not many people will run to the blacksmith shop to buy New Year's goods. Parker's shop ushered in the afternoon of December 30th in a dull business and heavy snow that lasted all day.

After the round messenger delivered the invitation, he returned to the castle lord's mansion in a carriage to prepare for the banquet, and did not ink in the small shop as he had done yesterday.

Naturally, Alicia and the others were not found.

After a close encounter, Parker discovers that the rumored Alysia, who can scare the evil forces, and Sophia, who is graceful and beautiful, and have an elegant temperament, are actually similar to ordinary girls. They are not picky about the rooms and beds that have been hastily tidied up, and they do not shout loudly when they wake up in the morning and ask for help to comb their hair and wash their faces. Will take the initiative to do housework and is very skilled (except for cooking), a blonde Lori even eats home-cooked food with relish......

However, when the two of them changed into evening dresses and appeared in the lobby of the small shop that had closed early, Parker couldn't take his eyes off it, but also realized that the identities of the two in front of him were indeed not a casual joke.

"Yo. Sao Nian, are you going to make a noise?" Contrary to her usual bright and cheerful colors, Elysia was wearing a dark black shoulderless princess dress with a little white lace trim. Although it is a color that few people in the Western Continent like and basically does not appear on clothes, but after being worn by Xiao Lori, it gives people a sense of elegance, mystery, enthusiasm and power, and it is enough to amaze the audience at a glance. ...,

Mao'er actually wore a simple but elegant emerald green silk dress that Alicia personally selected for her, and the whole person looked classical and her beauty was directly outstanding. Same with Sophia though. In front of Xiao Lori's black princess dress based on strong power and noble temperament, the natural stay was overshadowed on the spot.

After being shaken twice by Elicia's right hand, which was wearing a long black glove that was pulled all the way to her elbow, Elijah finally came to her senses, scratched her head slightly, and said, "Hmm." Very nice to see. ”

"Well, I guess you can't come up with any other words, so let's leave it at that. Little Lori said as she pulled Sophia and Mao'er to stand in a row with a look of contempt on her face and said, "Which one to choose?"

Seeing this, Parker turned his face out of the window before his son looked at him for help, and made the appearance of admiring the snow.

Sophia couldn't help but smack on the top of Alicia's head to relieve the black-haired boy who was at a loss: "Don't mess around. You should know that your subordinates are looking for you everywhere like crazy all over the continent, right?, is it really okay to accompany Ilya to the banquet without any pretense at all?".

"Absolutely. Little Lori raised her index finger and shook it with an evil smile and said, "I did it on purpose for the Holy See." When Angel and the others found me, they pretended that I was still in Buckle. That way, even if Kalenga misses, those magic sticks will not suspect us. ”

Sophia swallowed back the words that came to her mouth, shook her head speechlessly, turned her head to look at the wall clock on the wall, and said, "Elijah, I know that you probably don't have experience inviting female companions at banquets. So I would like to remind you here – should you have a carriage or other means of transport waiting for us at the door in advance, or are you going to let us walk to the venue in the snow?"

"Iβ€”I'm going to prepare. The young man who suddenly realized that he had fled to the door and was about to go out. But Alicia shouted at him.

"You idiot! Where are you going to rent a carriage at a time like this!? Let me figure it out myself. ”

Sophia was covered in cold sweat on the spot, grabbed Little Lori's stupid hair, and almost said wildly: "Wait a minute, don't you want us to ride Bai Ya and Black Flame over!?"

Little Lori hurriedly tried her best to rescue Dull Hair: "It's okay. I have a well-equipped carriage in my bracelet, ready to be used as a room in the field. You and Mao'er sit inside, and let Ilya drive the car, and Black Flame will be in charge of being the coolies. ”

β€œ...... Are you really going to ride over?" Sophia looked at the blonde Lori in front of her in confusion, "Alicia, what are you up to?

"It's good to know it and keep it in your heart. Alicia raised her hand to stop the pink princess and said, "During this time, the world's attention has been attracted by the show specially produced by me on the crystal screen, so there is nothing to do for the time being. But when the craze has passedβ€”no, in the style of the Holy See, they will definitely be eager to bring it up againβ€”people will be reminded of the dark power in little Ace again. And after I hid her for so long, I should always come forward and give everyone a reasonable explanation. ”

As it sees, today's ubiquitous reporters will definitely not let go of the large-scale event of the banquet held by the city lord of Buckle, when she will appear in a black dress and make a high-profile appearance, she will definitely make headlines the next day. Elicia, are you planning to use this banquet to seize the opportunity before the Holy See makes a move? Sophia smiled slightly, gently pressed the shoulder of little Lori and said to her, "Come on, we will fully support you." ”

"I know, thank you. ”

A few minutes later, Black Flame, whose long horse's face was full of bitterness, reluctantly stood in front of the gorgeous carriage. When Ilya sat down in the driver's seat, she glared back at him viciously, but then Alicia next to her gave her a cold glance and changed to a "I am docile".

How can I drive such a unique horse!? Looking at the nightmare in front of her, which was far higher than her own, Ilya couldn't help but be embarrassed for a while.

After sternly warning Black Flame not to get herself into trouble with her spirit link, Alicia jumped and flipped onto Bai Ya's back. The black dress and the unicorn's snow-white fur, coupled with the girl's dazzling long blond hair, made the whole scene look beautiful and powerful at the same time, which made Ilya and a few passers-by stunned.

"Alright, let's go. (To be continued......) ...... ,
