The new king of the Twin Horse Kingdom is called Alexander Francis. His Alexander surname is said to be very historical. Of course, this has nothing to do with Kuro. As he entered the castle, under the leadership of the guards, he finally saw this man who looked like a playing card. K'-like character.
"Oh! Are you the new garrison base commander of Pegasus Island, Lu Xilu Kuro? I have heard of your name, you are a very powerful marine!"
On the throne, Old K stood up excitedly, stretched out his hand and walked towards Kuro.
This made Kuro a little confused. He stretched out his hand and shook the old K's hand.
"First meeting, Your Majesty the King." Qrow said politely.
"I'm not the king yet, but I like this title very much."
Old K chuckled: "You are welcome to attend my succession ceremony. All your expenses here will be paid for by the royal family!"
"Really?" Lida's eyes lit up.
Although she has 800 million, she is still very happy if someone treats her to dinner.
"Of course, this is the etiquette that the royal family should have."
Old K said proudly: "The dinner will be held soon. You must stay in the castle and give me a chance to entertain you. Thank you for your help and killing the pirates who invaded the port of my kingdom."
"You're welcome, this is what our navy should do."
Kuro was polite, but couldn't resist the old K, so they went to the banquet hall together.
Hundreds of people from his own navy plus Cass's navy were all seated in the banquet hall, while Kuro and old K sat at the main table. , Old K suddenly asked everyone in the banquet hall to retreat, leaving him alone.
"Actually, I have a request." Old K became serious.
coming...
Qrow shook the red wine glass, feeling speechless in his heart.
I knew that the meal was not that delicious. To participate in a succession ceremony, it included food, drinks, entertainment, and banquets. He was just a colonel, and he would not be treated so politely by the king of a participating country. Generally speaking, after attending the ceremony, he After the succession ceremony, you can go back directly.
"I want to ask you to save my fiancée!" Old K suddenly shed tears and said: "My fiancée...she was kidnapped by the witch."
"What? Witch?"
Kuro was drinking wine and was stunned when he heard this word.
"Witch?" Crowe was also stunned for a moment.
"Crow?" Qrow looked at him.
Crowe nodded and said: "There is a legend on Benma Island, but I always thought it was false. It is said that there is an ancient witch here who especially likes young and beautiful women. She will capture them at night and use their Make wine with your blood and restore your youth.”
"Real or false? Are there such nonsense legends?" Kuro looked strange.
What kind of world is this? A world full of capable people.
If you just say it's an esper, it's more reliable than saying it's a witch.
"Wait a minute, how old are you?" Kuro suddenly thought of something and looked at Old K.
"I am forty-three." Old K replied.
"You're over forty and still not married? Diamond man..." Kuro said in surprise.
"Ah...not really."
Old K said bitterly: "When my father was here, he controlled my engagement. We didn't negotiate an engagement until a few years ago, and then it was delayed because of the war. Now that the war is over, my father is gone, but I My daughter got married. Fortunately, I found a new one and got engaged. They also sent my daughter over, but on the way, she was kidnapped by a witch. That man’s father was a very rich man, and I needed to marry her. Marriage can ensure the longevity of the Twin Horse Kingdom."
"But now the people in the kingdom have lost their talents due to the war, and the remaining people are simply unable to shoulder the responsibility of finding the witch. In the past few days, all the people I sent have lost their news, so when I knew you were on Pegasus Island, So I thought about it."
"Please, please rescue my fiancée. I am willing to pay the price for this. How about three years of taxation in the port city? The only thing I can pay now is taxation." Old K begged.
"Forget about taxes..."
Kuro thought for a while and said: "But in terms of population, the base where I am currently stationed does need some. If you are willing, then allocate 10% of your domestic population to me."
He originally didn't want to get involved in this matter, but then he thought about it, and this was also an opportunity.
There are too few people on Pegasus Island now. Even though Pegasus Town seems to have concentrated the entire population of the island, there are actually only a few thousand people, among which there are even fewer prime-age males.
Without people, there is no way to show vitality.
"Population, yes! As long as I can find my fiancée!" Old K agreed immediately, feeling a little contempt for the navy in his heart.
It actually doesn’t require money, just people.
What use can those civilians do?
"What does your fiancée look like?" Qrow asked.
Old K shook his head, "I don't know."
"Clam?"
"I really don't know, I've never seen it, but I guess it will be very cute. After all, it has to match the person like me who will soon become the king. It's definitely not too ugly. Maybe it looks similar to this navy."
Old K pointed at Kikyo who was eating there and said expectantly.
Kikyo turned her head and gave Old K a gentle smile.
What did he say?
Didn't hear much.
Forget it, just smile.
A red light flashed in Kuro's eyes, and his sight instantly spread across the entire island.
Well, I didn't find any powerful aura, it was all ordinary.
"Is there a specific location?" Qrow asked.
"Yes, it seems to be in the Gunma Plains."
Old K got a map out of nowhere, pointed at a location and said.
Crowe nodded and asked: "Cloe, you lead the team and let a few new recruits go to practice. Donald, Platycodon, and Sazil, you two will go with you. There is no need to bring the others. It will be inconvenient to bring too many people. You A few actions are enough.”
He wasn't going to let Cass go. It was right under his nose. He didn't believe what kind of trouble could be caused.
"Yes, I understand."
Crowe pushed up his glasses, stood up, and walked out with the person whose name was called.
They were just going to rescue one person. In their team, there were some who were knowledgeable and some were armed. It was not easy to go to a place to detect the breath of life.
"Is it that simple? Colonel Kuro, won't you follow?" Old K said worriedly.
"No need, I'm just saving someone, it's not as troublesome as you think."
Kuro took a sip of wine, thought for a while, and said, "Speaking of which, the people who were in charge of dancing just now were all men. There are not many women in your country."
"Yes, there are very few women on this island, but the number of women on Pegasus Island is the same as that of men. But now Pegasus Island..."
Old K said: "I made a marriage contract with the big businessman's daughter because their country has more women and they can marry their own people. Of course, I heard that the women in that country are quite beautiful, so it should be good. "
