Chapter 251: A Sense of Foreboding
Since that morning, Lu Fan hasn't seen much of Princess Hui'er, she seems to be deliberately avoiding herself, even if she occasionally meets Lu Fan, she immediately walks by with her head down, making Lu Fan confused.
But that's fine, after all, it's not a good thing to be always remembered by a princess.
And the guard called Diao Hu, Lu Fan has often encountered him these days.
It seems that his injury is almost healed, he specially came to visit Lu Fan, once again thanked him for saving his life that day, and at the same time had a great interest in the origin of the two, especially the girl who was stronger than him.
After Lu Fan made up some lies to deceive this simple-minded stupid big man, Lu Fan also got a lot of useful information from him.
For example, the sea ferry incident a year ago, Lu Fan knew that it might worry people who paid attention to him, so he decided to send back some messages after arriving at Haiya Port.
There is another event that has nothing to do with the two of them, but it can definitely be regarded as a continental-level event.
The queen ascends the throne.
Diao Hu did not reveal Hui'er's identity, but he still mentioned this matter, in the Hippo Empire, the eldest princess who has been famous for several years is about to ascend the throne and become the queen of the new generation of the Hippo Empire.
"Everyone was looking forward to this, but the Grand Empress never agreed to ascend the throne, and it was only recently that she finally agreed to the ministers' request, and the masters of the Hippoian Empire stayed in the imperial capital. ”
Diao Hu said.
It's no wonder that when a princess travels, a level 7 powerhouse doesn't follow, obviously this enthronement is more important.
"If you two are interested in traveling in the Greco-Persian Empire, please come to the imperial capital Liaowangjing on February 1 next year to visit the enthronement ceremony of our new queen, it will be very lively, and in a week, it will be the year-end conference, in which the queen will also appear, but it seems that we may not be able to catch up. ”
"If you have a chance, you must have it. Although Lu Fan nodded in agreement, he was actually not ready to go to the imperial capital.
Crossing the Hippo Empire, hurrying to the Wind Spirit Empire is a more important thing at the moment.
Looking at the back of Diao Hu saying goodbye and leaving, the black-haired girl who had been reading a book on the side raised her head and said with some surprise: "I heard the news of the death of the queen of the Hippo Empire before, but I didn't expect that there has been no new queen for so long, it's quite strange to think about it." ”
"Who knows what the royal family thinks...... After all, I'm just a country boy. ”
Lu Fan spread out a map of the Eastern Continent, which he had asked Qiu Liang for before, and he looked at the destination of the two, that is, the old mansion of the Mo family.
"According to the news left by my mother, the old house of the Mo family should be in ......"
The girl's hand moved slightly, pointing to the south of the Wind Spirit Empire.
"Before the Mo family really made their fortune, they had been in the south, and it was not until they became an important force in the royal family that they gradually moved out of the old mansion in the south, and the whole family went to the imperial capital of the Wind Spirit Empire in the north, Hurricane City. ”
Lu Fan looked at the map of the Eastern Continent, as mentioned before, unlike the north-south boundary of the Western Continent, the two countries of the Eastern Continent are the boundary between east and west, and the Wind Spirit Empire borders the Warcraft Forest in its entirety, and the Hippo Empire has also become the only country that does not have any Warcraft Forest resources.
"In that case, if we landed from Haiya Harbor, which is close to the south, we would basically not move north at all. ”
Lu Fan touched his chin and said with some regret: "It seems that we are destined to not be able to go to the enthronement ceremony, and there are still some regrets when you think about it." ”
"Do you want to see it, sir?" said the girl, surprised, "if we want, we can ...... it."
"No, no, no!" Lu Fan hurriedly waved his hand, "Let's not say that your matter is more important, we have been delayed for a year, and I always feel that if I go to the imperial capital, I have a bad premonition." ”
Yes, Lu Fan is very conscious now, he is definitely a conglomerate of trouble, in this kind of large-scale gathering where there will be trouble at a glance, if you go to the imperial capital, you will definitely encounter trouble, such as being involved in some conspiracy, who is framed for rebellion, or inadvertently breaking the conspiracy of some organization and being hunted down.
So it's better to be free, isn't it good to have fewer things.
Over the past year, Lu Fan's experience of traveling with the dragon on Dragon Island has made him know that this world is still bigger than he imagined, and some strong people are not as rare as he imagined at the beginning, but no matter what, he still wants to solve Xiaoqian's matter, and then consider traveling to the mainland to find a way to go back.
After all, there's still a long way to go.
Seeing that Lu Fan didn't seem to be interested, Qian didn't continue the topic, looking at the route on the map, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Speaking of which, after this month, you will be 15 years old......" Lu Fan rubbed his hands slightly, "I wanted to celebrate your birthday last year, but instead you didn't agree first, and by February 21, you will be an adult." ”
"Adult ......"
The black-haired girl lowered her head slightly, but what she thought was something else.
Yes, Otherworld is an adult at the age of 15 and can be independent.
In Dragon Island before, after Lu Fan learned about the girl's birthday, he originally wanted to celebrate Akane's 14th birthday, but the girl discovered her intention and was rejected.
At that time, the reason was that his strength was not enough and he didn't want to slack off his training.
Although he felt that this reason was very untenable, Lu Fan still respected the girl's opinion and did not give her a birthday.
But this time it's an adult, Qian definitely can't meet the Usa Empire and Blanche for their coming-of-age ceremony, Lu Fan feels that this time it can't be just like that, and the girl's strength is also small, this time there is no reason for it.
"Wait until that day and find a suitable place. Seeing that the girl had no objection, Lu Fan put away the map and touched her head, "Give you a coming-of-age ceremony!"
The girl didn't refute, let Lu Fan touch her head, and the things in her mind had already drifted to the point where she didn't know where.
You're coming of age......
Lu Fan finally saw the land on the deck.
"Ahead is Haiya Harbor. ”
Qiu Liang stood beside Lu Fan, looked at Lu Fan's face, and asked as if he had a meaning: "I don't know what your Excellency Lu Fan has after getting off the ship?"
Lu Fan waved his hand, "We're going directly to the east, to the Wind Spirit Empire, and we're probably going to leave here." ”
"Wind Spirit Empire?" Qiu Liang was slightly stunned, as if he remembered something, and asked tentatively, "Actually, I have always been curious about something, I wonder if Your Excellency Lu Fan can tell me?"
"Do you want to ask about the giant sword?" Lu Fan seemed to have guessed a long time ago, he shrugged his shoulders, "If you think it is, then it is, if not, then it is not." ”
Although Lu Fan's answer was very perfunctory, Qiu Liang still nodded: "So, thank you for informing me." ”
After Qiu Liang said goodbye and left, Lu Fan looked at his back and was a little puzzled: "Why does he care so much about the affairs of the Mo family?"
"It seems that the Mo family has been making a lot of moves recently. The girl's voice came from Lu Fan's side, and she pointed to a brand-new newspaper in her hand, which seemed to have been sent by some carrier pigeon.
Lu Fan spread out the newspaper, the first page is the pre-enthronement event of the queen of the Hippoid Empire, three days ago, Liao Wangjing successfully held the year-end ceremony, during which the empress also appeared at the ceremony, officially announcing that she would ascend to the throne on February 1.
Turning to the second page, a piece of news about the Mo family was impressively printed on the board.
"The Mo family questioned the behavior of the Wind Spirit Empire's royal family?" Lu Fan raised his eyebrows, "Is this family so powerful?" ”
"The Mo family has become a faint super family over the years. The girl clasped her hands over her shoulders and said solemnly, "Just like the Leslie family, the first family in the mainland, it doesn't matter what empire they are, the key is that they can go to any empire." ”
"The Leslie family can still understand, why can the Mo family also ......" Lu Fan still felt a little incredible, "Aren't they a martial arts family?
"I don't know ...... either" The girl sighed, frowned cutely, shook her head, and said, "That Qiu Liang cares so much about my identity, probably because the Mo family is against a move by the Wind Spirit Empire against the Hippo Empire. ”
"The Wind Spirit Empire restricts the export of magic crystals to the Hippo Empire......" Lu Fan also saw what the newspaper said, and couldn't help but be a little shocked, "Restrict the export of magic crystals with a large amount of usage? The Hippo Empire doesn't have the resources of the Demonic Beast Forest, wouldn't that be ......?"
"You can only buy transoceanic magic crystal resources at a high price. The girl nodded, "This is a decision that is not beneficial to both countries, and it is impossible for the Wind Spirit Empire to consume such a huge number of magic crystals, you know, I don't know how many mercenaries hunt a large number of magic beasts on the edge of the Warcraft Forest every day, occupying such a large area of the forest, the output of magic crystals is very terrifying......"
Lu Fan has never had the ability to think about these things, he scratched his head and handed the newspaper back: "I don't understand the twists and turns in this, it's good not to get in the way of us, and I hope our journey will go smoothly compared to this."
"Hopefully. The girl also nodded, looking at the shore getting closer and closer, and vaguely, there was also a bad premonition.
After all, there are some strange points on this ship.
First of all, the guard, in addition to Diao Hu, the top 6-level accident, there is only a 6-level Qiu Liang left, for a princess, it is still weaker, and the enthronement ceremony is not a reason not to shoot a 7-level guard.
and the inexplicable sense of disharmony that Qiu Liang had with the princess at some times, which made the girl a little uneasy.
With this uneasiness, the ship sailed into the harbor of Haiya and stopped beside a huge pier.
