Black Scepter Chapter 159: Vinegar sea wave (on)
Thank you for your monthly tickets!
Snow flakes again in the sky.
The road surface is extremely slippery due to the compacted snow. The speed of the carriage is very slow. The driver’s cries reverberate in the cold mist. The thick fog caused by the snow makes the field of vision vague and hidden. To the destination-the dome supported by the huge protective enchantment and covering the whole city of Sisrin.
Lilith opened the car window, and her petite little face looked away, her gaze stayed on the enchantment that could not be obscured by a cloud, and then she sat back.
From Byzantine all the way, even though Lilith’s carriage was extremely luxurious, she still broke the four wheels because of this long road, plus the urging words she never stopped, even the driver changed. Four. It is only now that she finally withstood the blizzard and rushed to the "Capital" of the Principality of Lampard, the city of West Sellin.
Today is January 5. This means that Lilith, who has been walking for nearly a month, spent the important festival of "New Year" alone in the carriage. At this time in previous years, Lilith was going to celebrate with Constantinople and that group of nobles, and even His Majesty Edward III, but this year was obviously an exception-she was unable to wait to find each other with a heart tied to someone "Accounting".
From November 18th, no matter whether it’s the Duke’s House of Windsor or the Duke of Azshara, Lilith can’t ask even a little bit about Morpheus. The father of the prince, who returned from the military retreat, did not know what to do. He was full of unreliable remarks that “if you want to get married, go quickly”, and “you may not be able to line up late”, Lilith is blushing again. Angrily, but helpless, she finally could not bear the inner suffering, she decided to come here in person to see if the **** ignored herself.
There are precious and warm handmade August carpets in the thick compartment, some classic books are placed on the rosewood bookshelf, some are textbooks in Fording language, and some are compilations of all the recent battles. Participate in the battle again, but her previous service experience still has a lot of influence on her-of course, the most flipped part of that compilation naturally tells about the "Muntal battle".
Taking a few deep breaths, Lilith is actually eager to jump out of the carriage now and rush into the city of West Sellin to get the guy out and scold. But she also understands that her identity at this time is the Byzantine county master, and Morpheus is the master of a country, with supreme authority, so in front of the civilians, the previous set of Cauchy School of Knighthood would not work long ago-so Lilith is very early He sent someone to Lampard to report the news, just thinking about whether or not to let that guy bring some surprises to himself before entering the city.
When it comes to guys she likes, girls always like to "over-imagine" some good things, even the knight Lilith who has been on the battlefield is also inevitable-she even wonders whether there will be "flower paving" or A few miles away, the welcome team appeared...
If so, is it a sign of "welcoming relatives"?
Thinking messily in her head, Lilith's cheeks became red, and he began to wonder if he should hold back a little, refuse first, then agree?
Thinking about it, the carriage swayed slightly, so that she could recover from the beautiful thoughts, reached out and rubbed her red apple-like face, and she found that the speed of the carriage seemed to slow down again, so she could not help asking Tao: "What happened?"
The driver knows that every time the speed slows down a little bit, the lord will become very anxious. It makes people feel that there is not one person sitting in the car, but a fierce little wolf...so this time His voice quivered with a trembling voice: "Master Lilith, the road is too narrow, there is a team in front, we can't go beyond it, we can only follow behind--"
"Let him stop and wait for me to go."
Lilith seldom puts on the sheriff’s post, as nobody knew when she was in the army that she was the daughter of the regiment leader. But at this moment, the county master didn't want to care about so much, and he continued with some irritability: "It is necessary to compensate them with some gold coins. I don't want to delay time anymore."
Unexpectedly, the coachman replied honestly and fearfully: "The county...the master, they--this... seems to be a princess's convoy."
Princess?
Lilith’s eyebrows slowly rose, saying that the woman’s gossip soul was always burning, and the county master was naturally not spared. She immediately flew into the car window without a figure, opened the corner slightly, and aimed Go out...
At the same time, in another car.
Princess Xia Lan is looking at the mirror specially installed in the carriage in front of her, carefully organizing her long hair that has become an art-like smoothness.
From the port on the south side of Isingle, the princess looked calm, but she was very embarrassed. As a princess of the Ingeway Empire who has never been able to marry, Xia Lan has been a laughing stock in the empire for a long time...Of course, this is not because she is ugly or incompetent, on the contrary, looks The beautiful princesses of the Qingxiu are all beautiful girls that make people shine. In terms of temptation, princesses of various countries come out to line up. No one can compare with Xialan.
But who made her so unlucky? There is such a Queen Elizabeth who does not regard her daughter as a person, coupled with the messy situation in the mainland, Princess Xialan’s several unsuccessful marriages have made her an "abandoned child" of the empire, only since Morpheus let her stay After the Augustus empire traveled with the fleet, the princess completely changed her original negative thoughts, and no longer wanted to be a "little wife" who had been spitting Morpheus all day.
Actually, after writing the letter that Morpheus brought to her mother, Princess Xialan began her "plan"-this is the second time she has been stubbornly doing one thing... and this The ultimate goal of the "plan" is clear: marry Morpheus.
Obviously, this Princess Xia Lan is going to chase down Grand Duke Lampard. But this is definitely not an easy task. Although Xia Lan understands that Morpheus has no ill feelings for herself, I am afraid that there is not much to say about good feelings, so since Morpheus left the August Empire, she planned a series of plans To improve his image in the mind of Morpheus.
First helped Lampard build a trading port in August, and then came a fleet and almost an entire shipyard’s workers from the mother, the Queen of England, to support the Morpheus’s “sea” "Career", of course, hurriedly turning her elbows out before she married, her behavior made Queen Elizabeth roll her eyes, but considering the status of Lampard, the queen did not stop her daughter's behavior, but secretly added A few ships have put a lot of attention, and power has become political investment.
Princess Xia Lan worked so hard for Morpheus, and in the end, she became the main person in Lampard’s maritime trade. Even when the Holy See was fighting around two months ago, the thousands of crossbows were sent by Princess Xia Lan's personal inspection-although the Morpheus at that time was somewhat helpless to her, but she finally gave affirmation. The letter he wrote in person kept the princess beauty silly for a long time.
Speaking of "reverse chasing" to chase this kind of situation, it is also a kind of state...
Now that the war is over, Princess Xia Lan finally can’t wait to propose a meeting Morpheus Duke’s request, and the reply given by the Principality of Lampard is also the word “agree”, although there is no Morpheus 'S hand-written payment made Xia Lan feel that she was one step further from the "target".
"I don’t know to go back and see after I left. It’s been two months since the end of the war. I’m bored in the city every day. I don’t even bother to write letters, hum..."
Xia Lan does not have a "creed" like source of information, she can even be called a block. She only knows that after the war, the Morpheus will never be closed, but she never thought that Morpheus might be injured, only when He wanted to rest peacefully for a while...
Now she’s dressed up in this carriage beautifully and beautifully, Xia Lan is in order to leave a "deep" impression on Morpheus, which has not been seen for a long time, in order to further achieve her goal... I have begun to simulate how I faced Morpheus when I walked out of the carriage...
Xia Lan's abacus is not bad, but just when she thinks about seeing Morpheus and her heart beats faster, the clamor of the rear convoy makes her frown slightly.
"What's going on?"
The coachman is part of the royal family of Ingeway, wearing a stylish fur coat, well-trained and unsmiling. Hearing Xia Lan’s question, he immediately replied: "His Royal Highness, there is a team behind to try to negotiate with us, hoping to step into the city first."
This is a more polite statement. In fact, in Ingeway, no nobles—even the Duke’s team—can’t find the princess to make such a request. Although it is not Ingeway here, the flags and emblems of the Ingeway Imperial family are clearly placed here, and the "Princess" is not a noble everywhere. From a diplomatic point of view, this team also represents Ingeway Royal family.
"Whose team?"
Xia Lan's thoughts changed, and immediately realized that what he encountered might not be an ordinary person. This place is not far from the gate of Sisselin. Ordinary people can't commit to provoke the royal family in a hurry. Is there another purpose?
The coachman talked to the soldiers behind the Princess convoy, and then reported: "His Royal Highness is a convoy of the Byzantine royal family... a member of the Langinus family... the county master."
After listening to this, Princess Xia Lan's brow gradually raised...
……………………………………………
Sicelin City has not stopped developing due to severe cold and heavy snow.
The workers are building the city with enthusiasm, and some streets will even feel overcrowded in the afternoon. Various caravans take root here, completely breaking the law of "difficult to do business in winter" Earn money.
Every city defense team that travels through the streets of the city is well organized and equipped even better than the Imperial Guards of most countries, so that any unruly Xiao Xiao will not have the courage to raise his resistance. Obviously, under the training of the two northern nobles Heisel and Hegel, the current order and security of the city have been extremely effectively guaranteed. The rule is stable and stable, and no hidden dangers have been seen.
In the past two months, businessmen and civilians have gradually adapted to the rapid development of the city. The rise in living standards has made them no longer worry about their livelihoods. The beggars everywhere in other cities are now almost disappeared in Sicilin. The newly established monasteries and shrines provide ample food and warm accommodations for disabled soldiers and civilians. There are often nobles on the street who give bread to poor people. Although believers have different beliefs, they all have a Xiangshan's heart.
This city that has not suffered from the trauma of war may be the most stable area in the mainland.
However, on the afternoon of January 5th, the 2,000 heavily armed soldiers who suddenly flooded the streets still scared the merchants who had just ran from the theater.
Is it impossible... to fight again?
Lampard’s policy of excellent soldiers and unparalleled wealth make ordinary infantry equipped with luxurious full-body metal armor, and today the soldiers who suddenly ran outside the city gate were even more exaggerated. The heavy infantry special armor is almost armed to the teeth. In his hand is a steel spear with a length of more than two meters, running like a kind of steel monster.
The soldiers who experienced the war are no longer the Maotou who was trained by Heisel. After standing upright, the steel spear uniformly muffled to the ground, and it was really full of breath.
The team extended from outside the city gate to the city. All the civilians along the way were stopped on both sides of the team. The civilians who had just been scared enough to find out that...these soldiers are coming to meet some important people. nothing.
But this battle is the first time for the Principality of Lampard. People can’t help but wonder... what is the identity of the person who is about to enter the city? Could it be that ~IndoMTL.com~ or a king?
The soldiers holding the spears formed the steel walls, and a team of ceremonial officials in charge of the reception ran out of the city. The ground along the street was cleaned up by the team that followed them, and then began to be cleaned up by more than ten mages. Baking and drying with spells, so that the road is smooth and suitable for carriages to pass... Such a careless look makes people more curious, but they will never think of it-at this time, the two "guests" to be greeted by the Principality are interacting with each other. Looking at each other.
Two carriages of different styles were parked in front of the Sisselin city gate. The honor guard and other carriages used to show their identity were parked in the distance. Lord Lilith wore a purple cloak, and the golden embroidered lines showed her noble status. But in front of her a dozen meters, Princess Xia Lan, who tightly tightened the snow-white cloak, brushed the snow off the shoulders, He lifted his chin slightly, and reserved himself.
Since the moment they stepped off the carriage, these two girls who didn’t like to stand up in the past wished to be more reserved than anyone else, and they didn’t say a word, but this kind of demeanor was more scrupulous than the royal family. Also royal.
Occasionally, the eyes of the two will be raised and touched at the same time, as if there is a spark in the blink of an eye, and then they will move away casually...
"Sovereign? The Byzantine came? Is it a mistress who has had a relationship?"
Princess Xia Lan bit her lip slightly, and the soul of the gossip in her heart did not know how many identities had been removed from Lilith.
"Princess? Ingeway Empire? Is it the object of the marriage...?"
Lilith tried not to let her gaze stay on Xia Lan's body, but her mouth puckered slightly - Morpheus, how many women are you asshole?
