"Actually, I've always been very strange, Esdeath. It's not that I know nothing about you, but what I saw is so different from what I know."
Although I had known for a long time that Esdeath had a feminine side in her heart, when I saw the Queen Shen Fu holding her arm tightly next to me, I still couldn't believe why a person could have two sides with such different personalities.
"I am also very confused about this... Before I met you, I never thought that I would be interested in things other than fighting and killing. Do you remember? Shen Fu, it was when I hunted with you That super-dangerous species, at the last moment of cooperation, I suddenly felt an uncontrollable feeling in my heart, and the excitement of the battle seemed to be mixed with another mood, I think, that is love."
Slightly covering her chest with her palms, Esdeath had difficulty controlling her heartbeat, as if something was gushing out. It was this emotion that caused her to undergo changes that even surprised her.
"That last moment? It was indeed a rare tacit understanding..."
Although the attack was led by Beatrice, Shen Fu also used his full strength. In fact, in his opinion, it was more of a tacit understanding between him and Beatrice.
"But Esdeath, I have to say that our ideas are too different. In my opinion, even if we don't become enemies, we can't become lovers."
He has already seen the place that the other party mentioned, and it is indeed very beautiful. Along the small river in the city are trees full of brilliant flowers, with little petals floating on the wooden tables, plus quaint small bridges and pleasant silk and bamboo trees. The musical instruments have the flavor of Yangzhou and Huaihe River.
"So there is a bet between us, right? After the bet is completed, you will naturally follow my ideas."
Esdeath doesn't care about different philosophies. In her opinion, as long as Shen Fu becomes hers and stays with her, Shen Fu will naturally change slowly before long.
"Haha, are you really so confident in yourself? I can say that your current guesses about me and where I come from are basically wrong."
He found a wooden table near the river and sat down, ignoring the flower petals on it. Beatrice also sat next to him, while Esdeath sat opposite him.
"That said, I have never heard of any alien race that has the ability to fly. Tell me about it. I also want to know more about you."
Esdeath crossed her hands to support her chin and looked at Shen Fu with piercing eyes. Really speaking, this was the first time she and Shen Fu had a good communication, and it was also this time that she got to know each other better. One of the important purposes of dating is that the more you know, the more likely you are to conquer it in a targeted way - the third step of the strategy given by the "instructor".
"First of all, I am not from your country, you already know this, but my country is not on this continent."
He stretched out his fingers and sketched it slightly, and a map made of pure white ice appeared on the wooden table. It was the map of this continent.
"I see... at sea? Also, I wanted to ask yesterday, can you also control ice?"
Esdeath looked at the map on the table and became slightly interested. The scholar Shen Fu stretched out his finger, but the moment he touched it, the entire table instantly spread and turned into an ice sculpture. The map drawn by Shen Fu was completely covered. It is still clearly visible through the ice crystals.
"It's true that it's on the sea, but it's not an island, but a place far larger than this continent. Esdeath, your control of the ice crystals is too rough."
He stretched out his hand to take the tea from the trembling waiter. At that moment, he also felt that Esdeath's ability was indeed through controlling the magic in the air, but it was difficult to control it finely. This was different from It was the same as when he first signed the contract with Beatrice, only more serious and mentally unstable.
It seems that the dangerous blood she drank not only gave her the ability to control ice, but also greatly improved her mental strength, but it seemed to have many sequelae.
"Are you saying that the country you come from is bigger than the Empire?"
Although the empire was surrounded by alien races on all sides, Esdeath still had the concept of a maritime continent. Even when the empire was at its most powerful, no one could explore the boundless sea.
"Yes, and it is more than dozens of times bigger. Unlike your country, which has been declining, we are at an unprecedented peak. In terms of the prosperity of your imperial capital alone, even a third-rate city in our country is Not really. Brilliant civilization, great strength, and large-scale teleportation technology that is no longer limited by distance, you should understand what this means."
Although Esdeath can be said to be the enemy's general at present, Shen Fu doesn't care to say this. Showing strength is also a part of war. This is due to absolute self-confidence. Today's China is no longer a small-scale entry into the country from scratch. It's time for the world. What they care about now is how to conquer this country to maximize their interests, not whether they can conquer it.
"So, this is how confident you are in establishing a bet with me?"
Esdeath's delicate face gradually became serious, and her eyes were fixed on the man in front of her. In this way, the temperament of Shen Fu and her daughter did not look like people from the backwoods, and the methods they had always displayed were not the same. It's not like a Teigu, it's just...
"If your country is really as powerful as you say, why don't you just attack with a large army instead of hiding in the imperial capital with your men?"
The queen was in a very unhappy mood now because she thought of what she had said and planned before. If what Shen Fu said was true, then her so-called strategy plan was a joke. She had not experienced this feeling of being suppressed by others for a long time. pass.
"That's why I said our philosophies are different, Esdeath."
Shen Fu picked up his tea cup and took a sip. The taste was not bad, but it was only good and not enough to surprise modern people who are bombarded with delicious food.
"We know very well that the people, the weak as you call them, are the most important foundation of a country. In fact, the reason why we can reach this point cannot be separated from the unity of the people. If possible, we hope that together with this The people of the country get it together.
I heard that you care deeply about your subordinates? Then you should be able to understand that for the army, the more it can make the soldiers respect it, the more powerful the army will be. Similarly, for the country, the more it can make the people love it, the more the whole country will be. The more powerful and prosperous. "
