"Hey, is this Miss Jian Yue Canglian?" One of the mayors recognized Jian Yue Canglian.
"Sir, have you seen Cang Lian?" Jian Yue Cang Lian asked doubtfully.
"A few years ago, I accompanied an adult to visit the maid academy, and I was fortunate enough to see Miss Canglian's heroic appearance." The mayor put one hand on his chest and nodded in salute.
Seeing Yue Canglian immediately nodded and returned the greeting, "Canglian is just a palace maid, I don't dare to call myself miss."
At this moment, a mayor's eyes widened, as if he had discovered something, and looked at Jian Yue Canglian with disbelief.
Several other mayors looked puzzled and subconsciously activated their psychic abilities.
In the psychic vision, countless translucent silk threads as thin as hair extend from the body surface of Moon Seeing Canglian and penetrate into the ground. Dots of blue light are being drawn up from the ground along the silk threads.
Connect the earth veins, steal the fire period!
The mayors were immediately on pins and needles. They didn't expect that the maid standing in front of them was a strong man from the holy realm. Even the lords didn't sit down. How virtuous and capable they guards were, sitting here drinking tea.
"Little, no, sir, you..."
Mayor John Prader was about to call her "Miss", but as soon as he said the first word, he hurriedly changed his name to "My lord".
In this world, the strong are respected, and when a guard-level person sees a lord-level person, they have to honestly call him "Sir." Even if the other party is a maid, it is to her master, not to outsiders like them.
Seeing the mayors trying to stand up, Jian Yue Canglian quickly stopped them and said, "Sir, there is no need to be polite."
"You are a guest when you come to the door. You are a guest now, and I am a servant of the master. I should stand."
When the mayors looked at Chen Xing again, their eyes had changed from fear to awe. Even the palace maids under him are at the lord level, so wouldn't the master's strength be even more terrifying?
However, they opened up their psychic senses and looked again and again. Chen Xing's body showed no signs of communicating with the earth's veins. That is to say, the psychic fluctuations were slightly stronger than theirs, and he was at most a guard level.
The confidence of the town mayors was immediately restored. She thought to herself that she was not much better than them. She was probably lucky. The blind cat encountered a dead mouse and picked up a top-notch palace maid.
Chen Xing watched the changes in the expressions of the mayors and guessed their thoughts. He must have seen that he did not have a lord level and did not take him seriously.
But this is fine, lest the other party feel that they have a lot of money and lots of ideas. But what was supposed to come would come. After drinking a few sips of black tea, the mayors began to talk non-stop, lobbying Chen Xing to join the war.
"Lord Chen, the current situation is chaotic, with wars raging everywhere. Ice Blue City has been invaded by the witch, the four Northeastern countries are watching eagerly, and the Southern River Bird and White Night Kingdoms have heavy troops stationed on the river banks. As subjects of the principality, we should go to the front line and contribute to the country."
"Princess Lacey has issued a call, and nobles from all over the country have responded. We are one of them."
"Master Chen is young and promising, and has many talents under his command..." The mayor who spoke looked at Jian Yue Canglian with reverence on his face, and nodded slightly, "Why don't you summon your subordinates, answer the princess's call, go south to the Lizard City, and make contributions?"
"A good man has his ambitions in all directions. He should carry a three-foot sword and achieve unparalleled achievements!"
Chen Xing felt like a few flies buzzing in his ears, and he didn't even listen to what they were saying, because the content was roughly the same, and they all advised him to become cannon fodder.
Just as he was wondering how to refuse, suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he immediately sent someone to invite Lin Shiyuan over.
Lin Shiyuan was introduced by Akita and has been joining Chen Xing's camp for some time. I still hang out with aristocratic widows from various countries in the poetry club community every day, discuss romance, exchange poems and songs, and learn a lot about the aristocratic circles of various countries.
"This is my military advisor." Chen Xing introduced.
"Nice to meet you."
Lin Shiyuan is 1.9 meters tall, tall and thin, with broad shoulders. Wearing a white shirt and casual trousers, she looks elegant. The mayors stood up one after another, nodded in greeting, and shook hands with Lin Shiyuan.
"I wonder what the adults are here for?" Lin Shiyuan asked after sitting down.
"The current situation is chaotic and wars are breaking out..."
Several mayors repeated what they had just said to Chen Xing.
"That's it..." After listening to the impassioned speeches of the mayors, Lin Shiyuan pondered for a while and then asked, "How many people are you going to bring over, sir?"
"How many mechas, how many vehicles, how much supplies, how much military pay..."
Lin Shiyuan seemed very interested and kept asking questions, detailing everything. When the mayors saw this, they thought Lin Shiyuan was active in the war, and asked what they wanted to explain.
Chen Xing was a little unhappy at first. The purpose of letting Lin Shiyuan come was to politely reject these people, but he didn't expect Lin Shiyuan to show enthusiasm and chat in a lively manner. But it didn't take long for him to realize that Lin Shiyuan was not interested at all. He was clearly just chatting.
"How much does the standard ration you buy cost? If you have money, you can save more. The price keeps rising..."
"Speaking of which, I still have a few friends in Lizard City. I heard that Viscount Sam's wife recently gave birth to a second child, a boy..."
Lin Shiyuan started by talking about the prices of military supplies, then moved on to market conditions, and then to trivial matters in the aristocratic circles. He rambled here and there, making the topic all over the place.
Moreover, Lin Shiyuan was particularly good at chatting. He knew everything about astronomy and geography, rural anecdotes, and aristocratic secrets. He was involved in everything and could talk about everything. As a result, we chatted for most of the day, all empty words, and none of them actually meant anything.
To put it bluntly, it was just taking the topic off topic and creating fatigue. In the end, everyone was chatting happily, but there was no progress at all. At the end of the chat, the time was up and we left in a daze.
"Oh, I'm very sorry. I have something urgent to deal with over there. You guys can talk first..."
Half an hour later, Chen Xing pretended to look at his black watch, then stood up and left. Before leaving, he freed Jian Yue Canglian and said, "Go to the kitchen to prepare tonight's dinner. Several mayors have come a long way. Be sure to let them finish their dinner before leaving!"
"Mr. Chen, you are too polite!" "Oh, will this be too much trouble for you?"
"No, no, you all are here to be guests in this town because you think highly of me. I'm too late to be happy. You must let me fulfill my duty as a landlord tonight."
After some polite greetings, Chen Xing left the living room and came to the study.
As soon as the thick double wooden doors were closed, the ears suddenly felt a lot cleaner.
After resting for a while, Chen Xing took out his portable screen, connected it to his black watch, and prepared to read posts to pass the time. Now Orchid Town has a small satellite signal receiver used as a scientific research station. Although the signal is not very good and often intermittent, it can barely connect to the clear network.
[Princess Allure War Mobilization Video: "Warriors, your glory is calling!"]
When you are in the Red Dragon Principality, domestic information will be pushed first.
"hypocritical!"
While Chen Xing was criticizing, he accidentally clicked on the video. Sometimes people are so weird. The more annoying they are, the more they want to see how disgusting the other person can be.
The screen dimmed slightly, and a cold and beautiful face appeared in front of me.
Wearing a mithril chain on her head, a drop-shaped pendant hangs in the middle of her forehead. This is the "princess crown" worn by unmarried women in the royal family on formal occasions.
The clothes are also very formal, like a goddess descending to earth. She is wearing a white suspender dress, with a large amount of white on her shoulders. A little lower, the thin white gauze is fully stretched, plump and swollen, ready to come out.
There was an ultimate temptation all over his body.
"From ancient times to the present, the nations of the Ambergris River have built their countries with force and written history with sword blades and blood."
"To expand territory and conquer the world, our Red Dragon Principality is one of the best."
"Generation after generation of Red Dragon warriors have achieved today's great achievements."
"Now, it's time to put on the armor, bring the sword, and prove yourself with blood, will and strength."
"Unparalleled achievements, star-like glory, and opportunities to be recorded in history are all waving to you one by one!"
"Come, my warriors! Come to the Lizard City, you will get everything you want!"
Her voice was high-pitched, clear, and full of passion, and her originally charming face now looked solemn and holy, making people dare not blaspheme.
"I'm really good at pretending..."
"Bitch!"
Chen Xing felt unhappy and called Sora out, "I want to know what Lacey Maris is doing?"
[As you command, my master]
[Data retrieval...]
[Retrieval successful, Lacey Maris is taking a bath in the bathhouse of Princess Tower]
"Send me the picture and take a look!"
The screen flashed and switched to dense water vapor.
The interior was dimly white, and you could vaguely tell it was a bathhouse with high-end decoration. The white jade floor is moist and smooth, and the reliefs on the walls are extremely luxurious.
Through the hazy mist, a slim silhouette can be seen. A touch of icy skin and an inch of jade skin, looming and sultry, making people want to push through the fog and take a closer look.
"You monster, you haven't revealed your true identity yet!"
"Sora, move in front of the screen."
[As you command, my master]
The hazy scene in the water mist trembled and moved forward half a meter. The outline became much clearer, but the scene in the bathhouse was still unclear.
"Going a little further, I want to see clearly the hypocritical nature of Lacey Maris." Chen Xing urged.
[Sorry, dear master, the screen extension has reached the limit]
"What!" Chen Xing frowned and asked, "Why is this happening?"
[There is a monitoring radio interference device in the bath, so images cannot be obtained]
Chen Xing suddenly felt bad. Watching half of it without looking at it feels like a cat scratching its paws, making your whole body feel uncomfortable.
However, he was a man of three generations and was determined. He took deep breaths several times and finally suppressed his unhappiness.
Looking at the beautiful silhouette in the mist, I spat out a few words.
"Anyone who dares to offend China will be punished no matter how far away!"
And when she was saying the words "Even if she is far away, she will be killed", a bright light suddenly flashed through her mind, like a meteor streaking across the sky, dragging a dazzling arc of light, illuminating the whole world in an instant.
There is a clear understanding in the heart, and enlightenment suddenly occurs.
In an instant, the wind and waves surged in the spiritual sea, and all the runes glowed with dazzling light.
"Even if you are far away, you will be killed..."
"Even if you are far away, you will be killed..."
He was talking to himself, and suddenly his pupils shrank and lit up a little starry. The starlight expanded rapidly and became dazzling.
"Even if you are far away, you will be killed!"
The sonorous and powerful four words seemed to be imprinted in the soul.
In the spiritual sea, the surface of the sea was churning, and a huge whirlpool appeared.
The White Wolf King, who was sleeping on the ground, suddenly twisted his body and stood up, staring at the whirlpool with his scarlet eyes.
The goblins on the island stopped all activities, as if a giant beast was coming, and they didn't dare to take a breath.
"boom!"
The sky turned black, thunder and lightning flashed, and the earth shook.
A black corner appeared in the center of the vortex. In an instant, there was a strong wind and thunder, and the sea water flowed backwards.
A black rune slowly rose from the center of the vortex. The momentum is vast and boundless.
At the same time, countless stars and sand escaped from Chen Xing's body surface, circled around the body several times, converged into a small galaxy, and flew towards the large stained glass window behind him.
Stars and sand submerged into the glass. Chen Xing looked puzzled, opened the window, and saw the stars and sand flying to the ground in the back garden, condensing into a small tower.
It is about five or six meters tall, with a spindle-shaped upper end and a long thorn in the depth.
As more and more stars and sand gather, the shape of the small tower becomes clearer and clearer.
There is a vague pattern painted on the body of the tower, which is changing from virtual to real.
Wait, it doesn’t seem to be a tower...
Chen Xing finally saw clearly that it was not a small tower, but a small rocket with a launch tower!
The shape of the rocket is very old, like a first-generation experimental product.
The black iron shell is nailed with a circle of rivets. The whole body is in the shape of a shuttle, with the tail fin and jet nozzle underneath.
The pattern on the shell is a skull smoking a cigar and wearing a military cap.
With a thought in Chen Xing's mind, sparks erupted from the bottom of the rocket, and the entire launcher trembled.
"tumultuous!"
Huge flames spurted out, and the rocket slowly rose into the sky, gradually accelerated, and finally shot straight into the sky and disappeared into the vastness.
Although it disappeared from the naked eye, the image of the rocket was still transmitted to Chen Xing's mind through the link of consciousness.
The altitude value jumped rapidly and the air pressure continued to drop.
Ten thousand meters, twenty thousand meters, thirty thousand meters...
The speed of the rocket is still rising, and the iron shell rubs against the air at high speed, emitting astonishing heat.
Forty-five thousand meters, forty-six thousand meters, forty-seven thousand meters, bursting into the atmosphere.
The lower half of the rocket separated, and a second flame shot out.
"tumultuous!"
The rocket is orange-red and exudes high heat.
One hundred thousand meters, two hundred thousand meters, breaking through the atmosphere!
After continuing to fly forward for 600,000 meters in space, flames erupted from the front end of the rocket and its speed slowly decreased.
"Crack!"
The rocket body dissociated, and a ball of steel was launched.
"Zi la!"
After flying a certain distance, the iron ball began to deform, with countless gears turning, unfolding six solar wings, extending several cameras and the barrels of weapons hanging underneath.
Chen Xing immediately knew its full capabilities. His sanctuary weapon turned out to be a tactical satellite!
