The next day, the main city of the empire, the port.
It is relatively deserted here on weekdays. Except for the people coming and going from Yinsong Island, some surrounding villages that take the water route will choose this route. There are usually only two or three large boats and small boats, and few people visit it.
But today is different. This place was packed with people early in the morning. It would be an exaggeration to say that the place was empty.
Everyone came to say goodbye to their families - not to mention the knights of the royal court, the Holy See's teachings never prohibited marriage, and most of the people who went on the expedition had their own wives, children, and children.
And this is also the first time that everyone has faced something like an "expedition." In the past, the royal family established knights and the Vatican established priests and priests. No matter how the force was improved, it was all an open and covert struggle between the two political forces, which was a private fight.
Nowadays, it is about resisting foreign enemies, and the nature is completely different - many people don't talk about whether they have left the main city to go to the surrounding counties, not to mention going overseas. No matter how well prepared they are, they will inevitably feel nervous and nervous.
"Ada, you must pay attention to your safety. Mom is waiting for you to come back..."
"mother……"
"Xiaomei, when I come back from defeating Poseidon, we will get married!"
"Well, I'll wait for you..."
Don't dare to talk nonsense, don't dare to talk nonsense... Standing on the boat and listening to the people below flying up, sweating for a while, is this allowed to be said?
However, he suddenly felt a little emotional. It was the first time for people from the Hualan Empire to go to sea, and he himself was not much better. With such a hook, he inevitably thought of everyone who was still in the City of Night Sin.
For example, my good sister Su Lin, my little pet Lin Yue, and Tang Shuang. Before she left, she said that she would give herself to him when he returned...
Why? Does this count as a Flag? Don’t do this kind of thing!
Miscalculation, miscalculation, I should have known before I left that I should have made her moan until she couldn't get out of bed...
He was not the only one who was sad, Xia Keyan beside him was also depressed, "It's been a long time since I heard from Silly Rabbit. She should still be alive, right?"
Silly Rabbit was talking about Gu Yi, of course. It could be seen that although she usually bickered fiercely, some friendships seemed to be established in this way. Of course, it may also have something to do with the nature of the old aunt. She seemed to like to be with younger people. When we get along, we can probably find a little happiness like being a child king?
"I miss them too, and I don't know when I can get in touch with them."
Xia Wuyou was also aroused, and the family of three collectively emoticoned together.
"...It won't be long."
Xu Shixian finally calmed down and sighed, "Chengcheng has already gone to deal with the construction of the base station. It should be completed before we come back."
It’s not that we can’t contact them now, but unfortunately, the temporary signal towers built on the sea are simple versions. At most, they can only send telegrams, and can only do some simple text exchanges. For them who have long been accustomed to communication bracelets, it is obviously Far from enough.
Cao Cao said that Cao Cao had arrived. As he was talking, he saw someone hurriedly pushing through the crowd and carrying two boxes in front of Xu Shi and his party. "Mr. Xu, this is what Mrs. Jiang asked me to deliver to you. Fortunately, I caught up." , fortunately."
This man was also one of the people from Yinsong Island who was rescued by them at that time. He was considered to be a close confidant of Pan Cheng in terms of seniority. Xu Shi nodded slightly and took the box, "Thank you."
When he opened it, he found that the first box contained a set of battle suits and a brand new alloy war blade.
The clothes were obviously not for Xu Shi, and he couldn't put them on - this was a weapon that Jiang Chengcheng had been busy working on since he went to sea, and was specially designed for Xia Wuyou.
Xia Xiaomao was originally accustomed to lightweight exoskeleton mechas instead of heavy armor like the combat team, so Jiang Chengcheng would naturally choose to continue this design direction.
It also comes with a handwritten instruction manual, which is a more detailed introduction.
Xu Shi flipped through it roughly and found that she had borrowed a lot of Hualan Empire's craftsmanship. For example, in terms of material selection, she boldly abandoned most of the composite materials commonly used in Night Sin City and instead chose a type unique to Hualan Empire. The main body is exotic animal leather. According to her explanation, this material is superior in terms of ductility, defense, and even comfort.
The same goes for the matching alloy war blade, which is slimmer and longer than the original one, and the blood tank is filled with a faint blue liquid.
This is the "Rust Mist" ore unique to the Hualan Empire. It is mined in this liquid state. The concentration of "Rust Mist" is not inferior to the ore in the "Forgotten" survival area. It has no other disadvantages except that it is rare and expensive.
Another advantage of this material is that it can better establish a link with the user himself - this is also the main blessing direction of this set of specialized weapons. By further extending the user's ability, it can amplify the superpower to the greatest extent. Advantage.
To give a very simple example, when Xia Wuyou fought with Tang Shuang before, she had a wonderful operation of shrinking explosives with a knife. That was a reflection of her ability rather than how powerful the weapon was. Now with this new knife, she can use This operation will be smoother.
This inspiration also comes from the Hualan Empire - the people here are not very technologically advanced, but their research on upgrade abilities is more thorough. Most of their weapons also adopt this idea, using them as conductors instead of Simply used as a weapon.
To use a more elegant way of saying it, it is called the unity of man and sword.
The same goes for this suit. Jiang Chengcheng modified the original exoskeleton part into a nanoscale internal integrated circuit, which is equivalent to embedding a lot of "twins" in it. According to her, after the simulation test, the weight was reduced while , the effect of improving personal sensitivity is even better.
"Increase sensitivity?"
Xu Shi said "oh" in an exaggerated way.
"Go to hell."
Xia Wuyou blushed and punched him, "Can you put it in your mind?"
Xu Shi laughed. No matter how uneducated he was, he knew that one sensitivity was not the other. It mainly refers to factors such as reaction ability that play an important role in the battlefield. It was different from the one of his good sister Shen Qin.
But teasing her is very interesting, and she is very happy.
"...Then let me go try to put it on?"
Xia Mao Mao wouldn't really be angry with him. She just gave him a blank look and focused entirely on this set of equipment.
What girl doesn't like new clothes? Especially this is not just clothes, but the special martial arts that she has been looking forward to for a long time... To be honest, she has been coveting the "Yu Jing" in Xu Shi's hand for a long time. Who wouldn't want an equipment that can instantly break through to the next level? ?
And when she returned to the cabin, changed her clothes and came out, the effect of her upper body was even more amazing.
It is said to be made of animal skin, but it feels more like silk no matter how you look at it. Only the upper body and legs can highlight the unique texture of leather, while the other parts are tightly attached to the body.
Like her previous light armor, this suit was also dark in color and continued the feeling of the previous tights, perfectly outlining her toned and exquisite figure.
The integrated circuit embedded in the suit is as beautiful as a pattern, and it will faintly emit light as she controls it.
The matching clothing also includes combat boots and goggles, as well as a pair of buckled fingerless gloves, which adds a bit of sharpness and capability to her, taking her temperament to a higher level.
She is like a war goddess and the most beautiful female war goddess.
Good guy, Sa makes me dizzy... Xu Shi felt that he couldn't move his eyes away, and he praised from the bottom of his heart, "It's very beautiful."
Pan Feng on the side has become star-eyed for a long time. In the past, I only thought that the master was a great beauty, but I didn't expect that he had such a handsome side. Girls all love beauty.
"Glib tongue."
Xia Wuyou himself was very satisfied, but he still spat and complained, "These clothes are not meant to look good."
Xu Shi smiled, this was indeed true, and he had no doubt about Jiang Chengcheng's skills. With the blessing of special weapons, Xia Mao Mao's abilities might be able to directly leap from A+ to S level.
Not to mention that she had been injected with "Sublimation II" in advance, so a breakthrough was a natural thing. Although the combination of the two could not make her reach the SS level in one fell swoop, S+ was probably there.
In other words, she seemed to have become the undoubted highest combat power in the team without even realizing it...
The significance of this set of equipment itself cannot be underestimated. This is the first result of the technological crystallization of Night Sin City and Hualan Empire!
With this precedent, Zhuanwu will only get stronger and stronger in the future.
"Since it's not just for good looks, then add one more thing."
Xiaoxiao was shocked in her heart, Xu Shi took a windbreaker and put it on her body, "Here, this is completely perfect."
Although it was a tight-fitting suit before, it was still covered with an exoskeleton mecha. However, he really didn’t want others to see this suit, so he could just see it for himself... The man’s possessiveness was most vividly displayed at this moment. .
"……good."
Xia Maomao paused, then took the initiative to put on his windbreaker, took off his goggles and put them in his breast pocket, his eyes full of softness.
Just this small movement makes people feel completely different.
"By the way, I see Sister Chengcheng didn't give it a name... would you choose one?" Xia Wuyou thought for a while and asked.
"Hmm... just call it "Suwei", how about it? "
Xu Shi thought for a moment and then said.
This can be regarded as a continuation of the name of the Zhuanwu series. His "Yu Jing" is the nickname of snake, and "Suwei" refers to tiger... She is said to be like a kitten. How much can she lose to the tiger if she is really serious?
"As long as it's a name you choose, it's fine."
Xia Wuyou had no objection, or rather than having to give him a name, she preferred the ritual of Xu Shi naming him.
After chatting with her for a few words, Xu Shi opened the second box.
The things here are relatively simple, a set of bullets for refilling "Yu Jing", a force field activation device, and a few letters.
The bullets also used liquid "rust mist" technology, so they would definitely not be weak... But the letter made Xu Shi more interested, and he wrote more than ten pages eloquently, all of which were Jiang Chengcheng's concerns and greetings to Xu Shi before he went on the expedition.
It's too much, it's too much... Xu Shi secretly felt ashamed. The instruction manual you gave Xia Wuyou only lasted less than three pages. You said it was concern, but it was more like a love letter.
Sensing the unfriendly glances around him, Xu Shi decided to put it away first and read it slowly on the way.
"Thanks for your hard work."
He smiled slightly and took out a letter from his arms and handed it to the visitor, "Then please bring this back to her."
This time the sea route does not pass through Yinsong Island, and Xu Shi has no intention of letting Jiang Chengcheng accompany him... We can't always be tired of being together. There are many things to do while going to sea.
But he was obviously prepared for this - rather, this method of exchanging letters was also very interesting to him, and he could experience the feeling of being slow and loving only one person in his life.
"And you two, do you have anything to take back?"
After doing all this, Xu Shi waved to the two sisters Feng and Ling.
A letter from Pan Cheng also came with him. Of course, he was concerned about his daughters. The little girls didn't need to be reminded. They already had a lot of things to share with their parents.
In fact, Xu Shi didn't want them to join him. The crusade against Poseidon would be dangerous, but they were not flowers in the greenhouse, so their attitude towards this was very firm.
"Yes, then I will set off immediately."
The messenger took the letter and put it away carefully, and at the same time bowed deeply to Xu Shi, "I hope you will take care of yourself along the way."
Xu Shi was also his savior. Of course he hoped that the other party could return safely, and it would be even better if he could make a triumphant return.
"Speaking of which, since we are not here, is it okay to leave Sister Chengcheng alone on the island?"
Xia Wuyou suddenly remembered, "She's not good at fighting, so I'm always a little worried."
They are all in the main territory of the empire, and it is not easy for anyone to make small moves. But now that they are going to sea together, they are afraid that someone will take the opportunity to cause trouble.
"It's not a big problem. If anyone really wants to do this, I'm afraid it's only the Holy See... But they're still taking a wait-and-see attitude, and they probably won't be able to do it."
Xu Shi smiled and waved his hand, "Even if they are really shameless, Ye Shanshan will be with her and Cheng Gujian will take care of her. Don't worry so much."
"It doesn't matter even if Cheng Gujian is just a spectator. Before she left the main city, I had already handed over the command of the combat teams at sea to her."
If anything, the dozen warships hidden by him at sea are Xu Shi's biggest trump card. As long as Jiang Chengcheng has this in hand, Jiang Chengcheng will never have any problems. She is not a fool and knows how to protect herself.
Of course, it was best to be safe and sound, and he didn't want to expose his trump card so quickly. However, if there were people who really didn't have a good eye, it wouldn't be a bad idea to let them see what nightmares mean.
Hearing what he said, Xia Wuyou felt relieved.
It can be seen that her relationship with Jiang Chengcheng is getting better and better, and she can even call each other "Sister Chengcheng" smoothly... This may not necessarily mean that you are the boss and I am the second child, but it is still a manifestation.
Not long after seeing off the messenger, a loud shout was heard not far away, "Her Majesty the Queen has arrived -"
The crowd that was bustling just now suddenly fell silent after hearing this, and they all knelt on one knee to welcome her arrival.
Dongfang Xiao was quite grand today. He was dressed more elegantly than when he first met. Surrounded by a group of courtiers and knights, he slowly arrived at the port.
"Flat body."
She nodded slightly, looked at everyone and said calmly, her tone naturally filled with majesty, and she was completely different from the little empress who was a little lively and out-of-the-box before.
It can be seen that as an emperor, she is also very proficient in the basic skills.
"I am very pleased that you are willing to do your best to defeat Poseidon."
She then added, "It's up to you to take good care of me, Grand Duke Gu Jian."
"I will live up to your majesty's trust."
Cheng Gujian responded quickly.
"Long live my emperor!"
I don't know who is taking the lead, but I see everyone gathering to worship him.
"There are also many envoys... You are not the subjects of the empire, but I also hope that you will return safely. By then, the two countries will be reconciled forever."
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Queen."
Xu Shi originally stayed on his own ship, but out of politeness he had to show some courtesy.
In fact, she said this once in the school grounds yesterday, but now it means something different - this is a statement to the world.
The trading post has not been open for a long time, and many people are ignorant of outsiders like them. Some people are born with conspiracy theories and subconsciously feel that people who are not my race must have different minds.
This can be easily seen - when Jiang Chengcheng and Yu Xingchuan were asked to change shifts, the command ship had already arrived. Many people were pointing fingers at it in the past few days. If Cheng Gujian hadn't sent someone to guard it in advance, who knew what would happen Something happened out of the blue.
Her public statement of attitude can be regarded as a reassurance for everyone.
Of course, she also had another meaning in doing this, which was to declare that Xu Shi and the royal family were in the same camp. After all, the Hualan Empire was not dominated by the royal family, and many people were dissatisfied with it, both openly and secretly.
Naturally, they believed in another force. As they spoke, they heard another call, "Her Royal Highness the Saint is here——"
The scene was completely quiet now.
The appearance of the Holy See was not much smaller than that of the royal family. To be precise, they were evenly matched - under the protection of the red-robed priest, a veiled girl came slowly, and the Templar Knights separated on both sides and arrived with her. port.
"See Her Royal Highness the Saint——"
There is no shortage of fanatics of the Holy See here, and their attitude of paying homage to Dongfang Xiao is no weaker than that of people who just paid homage to Dongfang Xiao.
Sai Lian is here.
Xu Shi suddenly had such an idea in his mind.
Indeed, the struggle of political forces is often reflected in all aspects. If you really want to get on the line, even if you have one less person who worships you than me, there will be a lot to do. The so-called pre-war mobilization is naturally the same.
But for a while, his attention was more focused on the saint herself - she must be a good sister based on her figure, but it was hard to tell with her face covered.
He doesn't believe in God, so he's naturally not interested in this. Maybe it's because you're ugly that you have to cover your face, right?
Of course, it doesn't matter even if this saint is as beautiful as a fairy. He has seen countless women, so he won't be unable to walk when he sees a beautiful one. In comparison, how to deal with the balance and the relationship between the two parties? is more important.
"Your Highness the Saint."
Dongfang Xiao nodded, "It is the duty of the royal family to conquer Poseidon. I didn't expect that the Holy See would also be willing to contribute. This really makes me happy."
This is actually very interesting. The subtext is that your Holy See is also a part of my royal family... As expected, overt and covert struggles exist in every corner.
"See the Queen."
The veiled saint's voice was clear and clear, and what she said was neither humble nor arrogant. "Maintaining the stability of the empire is part of the doctrine. How can we stand idly by?"
The implication is that this is what we have to do ourselves, and it has nothing to do with whether we listen to the royal family or not.
Xu Shi was too lazy to listen to their weird comments here, and mostly wanted to complain.
Speaking of which, it's almost noon. Aren't you just waiting for you to talk nonsense here since you haven't gone out to sea? It’s like having a sports meeting in school. It’s said to be three days and five days. In fact, the first half of the day is always left to the school leaders to talk nonsense, and they are not allowed to play with mobile phones and read comics. It’s annoying...
I don't know how much time passed before the long and stinky speech finally ended. Everyone got on the boat one after another, just waiting for the order to set sail.
The royal family's ship was naturally carefully built. Not only did it use Yinsongdao's technology, but Jiang Chengcheng also provided some small help before leaving. Compared with the previous wooden ship of Pan Cheng and others, I don't know how much more impressive it is.
The Holy See's ship is also easy to recognize. The hull is painted snow white, and there are statues on the bow. It is said to be the god believed by the people of the empire... I don't know what method was used, but it is shining brightly from every angle.
But what’s very interesting is that compared to the two ships he Xu Shi, both the royal family and the Holy See feel a bit overwhelmed...
Many people who watched before were also curious about whose handiwork this strange behemoth came from.
Go ahead and envy...Xu Shi actually enjoys this feeling. Of course he will not go on someone else's boat. Even if he plans to go back again, he doesn't even have to wait for any instructions. I am a foreigner, so there is no need to listen to you. orders?
Just as he was about to board the ship, he heard someone calling him, "Envoy, please stay."
When he turned around, he saw a red-haired woman wearing armor.
"Your Excellency?"
Xu Shi raised his eyebrows.
"The leader of the Templar Knights, Qin Yiyan."
The red-haired woman had a serious face and a deep voice.
"Sorry, sorry."
Xu Shi gave a symbolic salute, "Why do you want me to do anything for you? Do you want to stand up for your subordinates?"
"That's not true. I've heard about Luo Yu's matter. It's not all your fault."
Qin Yiyan shook his head and just looked him up and down, "I'm just curious. Your Excellency comes from a foreign country. Can you trust God?"
"Do not believe."
Xu Shi smiled and shook his head.
"...Without awe, he is truly a barbarian."
The red-haired elder sister was silent for a moment, looked at him and sneered, then waved her hand and walked away.
?
Are you sick?
Xu Shi frowned. It was not impossible to understand. Of course, the relationship between him and the Holy See was not much better. We couldn't expect anyone to smile like Lu Baiyan.
Just came here just to make fun of you? Who gave you this bad habit?
Okay, mark as a bad woman.
Xu Shi never denies that he is a petty person. If you don't have any problem, he will probably find some problems to deal with you, let alone a guy like this who takes the initiative to make fun of you.
Anyway, there is still some dealings with the Holy See, and he will settle it slowly when the time comes, so he is not in a hurry.
With this thought in his mind, he turned around and saw all the women looking at him with strange eyes.
"What are you doing? Are you coming too?"
"It's nothing, I'm just curious about how your love luck is so good. Even a beautiful girl wants to come and say a few words to you."
Of course it was Xie Qingyan who spoke the yin and yang, and his expression was exactly the same as the reaction of Xia Wuyou and the others when he arranged the little queen.
"Which of your eyes can tell that this is love luck?"
Xu Shi rolled his eyes at her, "This is the legendary doctor who doesn't heal himself, right?"
"Is not it?"
The dog woman replied, "I'm afraid you already have thoughts about her, right?"
"Does wanting to beat her up count as an idea?"
Xu Shi said angrily, "Am I that kind of person? Besides, red hair is not my thing, right?"
This statement was obviously unconvincing, and everyone still had an expression of "Is it true? I don't believe it."
In fact, they can't blame them. When they talked about the little queen Dongfang Xiao, she made the same remarks. But in the end, who knew that the other party was exactly as he described? Now I have to doubt you.
"……OK!"
Not happy with being stared at by them, Xu Shi also got angry for no apparent reason, "I'll put my words here today!"
"Unless she cuts her hands behind her back and kneels in front of me begging me to do something to her, don't even think about it. Is that okay?!"
