Release that Witch Chapter 832: Meeting Wang
Along with the low whistle sound, H.M.S. Roland docked steadily beside dock. Probably because the ship was named after Great Chief, when Logia walked down the trestle, they found that the people coming back and forth from dock stopped in unison and raised their right hand towards the ship.
The First Army soldiers on the ship also responded to the crowd in the same posture.
That should be a special etiquette.
It's just that the etiquette is different from the one she's seen. There doesn't seem to be one side of the two sides on either side. Whether it is giving or receiving, both sides are equal ... which makes her a little difficult to understand. If both parties have the same status, why is it necessary to salute? In her opinion, whether it is kneeling or worshiping, or fisting, one party is always the recipient, in order to express the meaning of admiration and obedience.
She also noticed that even the children playing next to the dock took the same pose and raised their chests tall. In the process, no one's expression was humble and unwilling, and everyone's eyes were full of joy and vitality. Through such etiquette, they seem to have completed an unspeakable communication.
"This is a military salute," Ash took the initiative to say, "I didn't understand why they did it at first, I thought it was Roland Wimbledon that required citizen to do so, but then I realized that it was not what I thought." >
Logia raised his eyebrow in surprise, "It has nothing to do with the ship called H.M.S. Roland?"
"Yes, as long as there are ships carrying First Army docking, they will spontaneously raise their hands and salute, because this represents another group of family members returning overseas safely."
"But they don't look like ... a family," Third Princess hesitantly said. Shouldn't you be more excited if it's a family welcome? And the soldiers are basically all men, and there are very few women on dock. Do they each happen to have a brother?
Andrea shrugged, "All members of First Army are from Neverwinter City, which means that not only most of the residents have joined the army, but also a lot of neighbors. This is completely similar to the mercenaries who live around and the militia forced. It ’s different. It ’s more like a job full of honor. They celebrate the return of other people ’s children, and there will be others celebrating the peaceful arrival of their loved ones. This is probably what Your Majesty means by “people ’s army”. "
It's all made of citizen ... Army?
The wolf girl showed a thoughtful look and followed witch and her group into Neverwinter City.
The first image of this city known as Greycastle's new Kingdom Capital is neat. Except for a continuous stream of pedestrians, both the house and the street are arranged in a straight line. Even the trees on both sides of the road are So so. This compact arrangement made her feel a bit depressed, although it looked spectacular, but it was not as comfortable as Iron Sand City.
And to her disappointment, there is not much snow in the Neverwinter City. Even the hard pavement under the feet is dry. Only on the branches and the roof can you see some residual snow.
The hope of traveling through a pure white Syracuse is lost.
Of course, this place is not without its advantages.
Logia found that there are huge plaques hanging above some houses on the streets, with various signs written on them, such as old hunter leather, papyrus, Northern Slope gem, etc ... Although many horizontal cards are still blank, the These are the things she's been overwhelmed with.
Every intersection is also erected with a sign, which not only marks where the forks lead, but also names the corresponding streets.
For example, she is now walking along the Avenue of Glory.
The wolf girl quickly realized that this would be very helpful for strangers who set foot on Neverwinter City for the first time. Through these signs, she can quickly remember the general appearance of the city, know where to buy and sell goods, and where to stay overnight, thereby eliminating the need to resort to the local snakehead or Mouse.
Coming to and from those Extreme Southern Region Of conversations with travelling businessmen, what she heard the most was the story of her first-time pioneering story. The strange and strange city is always full of hardships and frustrations. expose At the same time as the identity of an outsider, in a sense it is equivalent to putting yourself in a vulnerable situation.
And such a small gesture will greatly facilitate the first-time arrival, even if she, when seeing the street sign instructions, felt an inexplicable kindness, as if the city was welcoming her arrival.
Perhaps because of this, these bustling and busy streets now take for granted.
Unfortunately Logia doesn't have much time to admire this exotic city.
Ash quickly brought her into the feudal lord castle. After waiting in the lobby for a long time, a guard brought a reply from King of Greycastle, "Come with me, Your Majesty agrees with you."
Somehow, Logia suddenly became nervous.
She secretly took a deep breath, followed personal guard to the third floor, and then walked into a transparent study room alone.
Behind the mahogany table next to the floor-to-ceiling window, sits next to a surprisingly young man wearing a plain robe and ash-grey hair shawl, neither wearing a crown, nor a finger or a ring on his finger . While playing with a quill pen, he was looking at her with interest.
This is the Great Chief that turned Extreme Southern Region upside down?
Logia For a while, it was difficult to associate the other person with his expected image.
In her mind, a person with a wide range of knowledge and extraordinary martial arts concepts should be entering a year of confusion, wrinkles on foreheads, long pigtails and chests with beards, and elders with deep eyes. . Even if the people of the Northland do not like to have their beards braided, they should not be so young!
At this moment, she realized that she had missed a thing about important, that is, after carefully inquiring about the powerful warriors of Neverwinter City, she forgot to ask situation of Great Chief.
After a moment of hesitation, Third Princess decides to salute in accordance with the rules of Mojin people.
Shaking her ears, she touched the ground with her knees, and she lay down slowly. After all, ash-grey hair is a symbol of the royal bloodlines of Greycastle. Logia has heard of it.
"You are the goddess of Wildflame Clan, right?" The other party didn't intentionally let her salute for too long. As soon as his forehead hit the ground, he opened his mouth, "Come up, Wisewolf, welcome to Neverwinter City. I am Roland Wimbledon, Greycastle King, and of course your Great Chief. "
Wisewolf? Logia frowned slightly secretly, what is it called? Are wolves still wise?
But if she stood up very quickly, she didn't hear the sentence, "My name is Logia Burningfire, Your Majesty. As for the title of the goddess ... since it is here, it is more appropriate to call it witch. In addition, My father Gulz Burningfire asked me to pay tribute to you on behalf of Wildflame Clan. I hope your rule will last as long as the oasis. "
But this time she didn't get a response immediately.
While secretly wondering, the wolf girl quietly raised her gaze, but found that the other person's gaze stayed on her long ears.
