Chapter 1138 Sunny Days in Troon
The royal capital of the Chauvin Empire, Troon, is undoubtedly a prosperous city. As the most prosperous imperial capital in the Southwest Continent, Troon serves as both an administrative center and a commercial hub. Well, in a sense, it can indeed be said to be a 'tourist resort'. In particular, William Bohe, who is known as the businessman king, worked hard to eradicate the bad 'slums' in the Chauvin territory more than 20 years ago. After civilization, this ever-changing city is becoming more beautiful almost every second.
All in all, the Chauvin Empire is a country with a high national happiness index. Even if it is just a path that can be seen everywhere in Troon, there are refreshing green plants on both sides and most of the faces around them are filled with smiles. The pedestrians will deeply touch outsiders.
“But I really didn’t expect, Silent Prayer, that you would bring me to a place like this.”
Sitting on a bench under the shade of the trees, wearing a sky blue dress Gaweier Logan squinted her eyes in contentment, turned her head lazily to look at the dark elf girl next to her who was obviously humorous and talkative, but had a very cold and unconventional temperament, and said with a smile: "I thought you would definitely know how to do it. Take me there... Well, let me think about it, for example..."
"For example, when the Kaguya Sect officially settled in Troon as the state religion, His Majesty William spent huge sums of money to build the Great Cathedral? For example, although it should have a very high level of confidentiality, it can be visited by people casually? "
Ji Xiaodao raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "Or is it the largest and most luxurious chamber of commerce building complex in the entire southwest continent, located in the center of Troon's business district? "
< br>Gaweier stuck out her tongue and nodded: "Yeah, actually, I really thought you would take me to those places at first."
"That may indeed be the 'most It’s beautiful, but I don’t think that’s what you most want to see and understand.”
Ji Xiaodao raised his right hand and stopped an extremely rare blue morpho butterfly that was all ice blue. On his slender white fingertips, he smiled and said: "Perhaps for the locals, the places I just mentioned do have high ornamental value, but you are different, Gaweier, you are Griffin's princess. , is one of the most elite and noble people in that dynasty whose national power is almost dozens of times that of Chauvin.”
Gaweier blinked curiously and asked puzzledly: "So?"
"So although I have never been to your Griffin's royal capital, Brorid, I know that even if you don't have to guess, then This royal city with a long history must have more breathtaking 'landmarks'."
Ji Xiaodao smiled, raised his hand and let go of his fingertips. It only had a lot of beautiful meanings, but it was actually just because of his body. The butterfly with such a gorgeous color had a certain disease, and said lightly: "You must have seen an auditorium that is more solemn and solemn than the headquarters of the Kaguya Sect. You can always read Griffin's which is far older than the Chauvin Empire. The ups and downs of history, the gifts you received together may be able to buy any chamber of commerce that has advanced and retreated with the Chauvin Empire, so what is the point of letting you see those things? "
Never use this? Gaweier, who had thought about the problem from this angle, was stunned.
“At least I personally don’t think it makes sense. Of course, if you are interested, we can always go to places with a long history, splendidness, or grand scale.”
Ji Xiaodao shrugged and said calmly: "But if you let me choose, I will take you for a walk on a path that can be seen everywhere in Troen, and take you to eat something that may not be the same as now." An inelegant but very popular snack in a small area, it will take you to build a sandcastle in the small square in Nancheng District, which is most popular among children. It will take you aimlessly through the city and interact with those who have their own thoughts but People who are always looking forward to tomorrow pass by each other."
The eldest princess of the Griffin Dynasty nodded slightly and remained silent for a long time before smiling at Ji Xiaodao: "Thank you."
"You're welcome~"
The dark elf girl raised her hand to brush away a tung leaf that fell on Gaweier's hair, shrugged and said: "I just think you might be more willing to do that than those stereotyped glitz. See a real, breathing jingo."
"A breathing jingo..."
Gaweier raised her head and gazed lonely at the blue morpho butterfly dancing in the air, and murmured: "If it were that guy, I'm afraid he would lead me to experience this world like Silent Prayer for You in this way. This is the city that raised him..."
Ji Xiaodao shook his head and spread his hands helplessly: "In fact, the 'that guy' you just mentioned did often say that, if there is a chance, , I hope to lead a certain princess to wander around the streets of Troon for a whole day. He seems to be brooding about that embarrassing first meeting of yours.”
"Pfft haha."
Gaweier, with a flash of strange color in her eyes, chuckled and waved her hand: "Actually, it's not bad. I thought that guy was quite funny at the time, but he seemed to care about himself. I feel like it left a bad impression on me.”
“Vulgar jokes can quickly deepen the friendship between men.”
Ji Xiaodao snorted lightly and said leisurely: "His Royal Highness Arthur's communication skills are undoubtedly very superb."
Gaweier smiled narrowly: "If you say that, I hear It seems that Lord Sin is also quite popular in Chauvin’s aristocratic circle, and his relationship with our Arthur is so good, could it be that..."
"Eh? "
Ji Xiaodao was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously imagined the scene of someone telling dirty jokes in front of the wine table. He suddenly shivered and said with a stiff smile: "I should feel Fortunately, Mo is actually quite restrained in his jokes."
"Maybe he only tells vulgar jokes when you can't see them."
"..."
Ji Xiaodao's eyes widened, and it took him a while to realize that the princess next to him with an exaggerated smile was just joking with him, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. He casually ordered the knight who seemed to be standing behind him seriously but seemed a little careless: "Aesop, go buy something to drink and come back."
"As you command, mistress."
Wearing the standard plate armor of the Knights of the Sword of the Tsar, with even his face covered by a helmet, the guard replied angrily, then bowed slightly to the two ladies on the bench, and trotted towards Went to a stall not far away.
"You come too, Dany."
Gaweier also smiled and nodded to the female officer next to her, and added: "We are treating you."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Because it is rare to see Gawei during this period. Her son was as happy as today, so her mood improved accordingly. Dani smiled and quickly chased after her.
Then, there was a period of silence that was not actually long...
"Silent Prayer."
The first person to break the silence was Gaweier Logan.
"Yes, I'm listening."
Ji Xiaodao nodded, his tone no longer brisk and clear as before, but there was a sense of dissonance caused by the conflict between painting style and temperament. But it has dropped a lot.
"There is going to be a war..."
Although I have never paid attention to the political or military fields in the past twenty years, with my innate talents, I have not been able to do anything during this period. Instead of shutting herself in her room and crying in tears all day like Dani imagined, Gaweier, who silently taught herself 'make-up lessons', still made an accurate judgment and shared this conclusion with a slightly trembling voice. To the dark elf girl next to me, who is said to have been living an adventurous life and has just settled down for less than a year: "War... is inevitable."
"Yeah."
The latter did not show any surprise, just nodded calmly and agreed: "It seems that is right."
"It seems, It seems that everyone still doesn’t know about Arthur’s death...”
Gaweier fixed her gaze on a young couple not far away who were holding a sleeping baby, with happy smiles on their faces, and whispered : "But I'm afraid it won't be long before His Majesty William will make this matter public, and blame me, Griffin, for the death of His Excellency Farah Ossis, and brazenly start a national war in a short period of time."
"Yes." Ji Xiaodao's face was still calm and he said calmly: "In fact, the news of Arthur's death has gradually been made public among the high-level officials of the empire. Chauvin had already prepared the war half a month ago. Preparation, although under the control of His Majesty William, has not yet affected the people, the country has actually entered a state of war.”
“The envoy and I came here with peaceful demands, but the premise for the emperor’s brother to send us here is that there is absolutely no possibility of compromise by the Chauvinist empire.”
Gaweier held her hand. Ji Xiaodao's cold right hand stared scorchingly at the latter's scarlet eyes that were unique to dark elves, and said word by word: "Griffin needs a war, even though I only realized it later." However, all signs are proving that Brother Chiwetel and Eliza are planning a terrifying war, and in this war, the Chauvin Empire will bear the brunt."
"So this peace. We can't maintain peace for long, I know."
Ji Xiaodao smiled, held Gai Weier's trembling little hand, and said softly: "I am very lucky to be here. While this country still looks like what Arthur is most familiar with, I’ll take a leisurely walk with you.”
"I will keep everything today in my memory and never forget it."
Gaweier pursed her lips, showed a sad smile, and said abruptly: "Come with me, Silent prayer."
Ji Xiaodao blinked and repeated in surprise: "Follow you?"
"Yes, follow me to Griffin. "
Gaweier took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "In the name of Gaweier Logan, I will protect you, and I will protect you at all costs. If I can, I can also find a way to bring Mr. Sin Lord to Griffin. Although as a war leader, it may be difficult for him to trust me, the eldest Princess Griffin, but as long as you are here, he will definitely consider it!"
Ji Xiaodao frowned and shook his head: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I don't quite understand..."
"You must understand! The Chauvin Empire cannot resist the Griffin Dynasty. I understand my brother , I understand Chiwetel Logan. Perhaps his fundamental purpose in starting the war is to eliminate the influence of those old nobles, but this does not mean that he will let go of Chauvin! In other words, the only thing he will not let go is the Chauvin Empire! !”
Gaweier held Ji Xiaodao’s hands tightly and said in an almost begging tone: “Griffin may compromise with the Adolf Free Territory and the Dreamland Theocracy, He will compromise with the Silver Wing Alliance, but he will definitely choose to recuperate from the Chavin Empire, which has not yet risen but is already extremely wealthy!"
"Well, maybe"
Ji Xiaodao gently patted the back of Gaweier's hand, but did not show any signs of wavering.
Gaweier bit her silver teeth lightly: "Silent Prayer, I'm not here to be a lobbyist, and I don't want to persuade Sir Lord Sin and you to surrender. I just..."
"You just don't want to be Arthur. We, friends, died in this unfair national war, just to protect us, I know.”
Ji Xiaodao did not let the other party finish, but just rubbed Gaweier affectionately. hair, softly said: "But I can't leave with you. To say the least, even if I am willing to leave with you, that guy will not waver for even a second because of me."
" But Arthur said that Lord Sin, he..."
"I have said before, Arthur is a very nervous person, Gaweier, not to mention that Lord Sin in your mouth is wavering. Being unwavering actually has nothing to do with his feelings for me.”
"What?"
"He won't go, just because he believes he won't lose."
"..."
"And I don't want to go with you A large part of the reason for leaving is that I believe he will not lose."
"But..."
Gaweier showed a wry smile but hesitated to speak.
"I know that these words are nothing short of fantasy, and I am not a capable person who can see through the situation at a glance."
Ji Xiaodao raised his head and turned his gaze to Te Lorne said softly under the rare blue sky: "I just trust him out of habit, and... I'm sorry, Gaweier, you trust me so much, but there are many things I can't tell you. Said. "
Gaweier was silent.
It wasn’t until Aesop and Dany appeared not far away carrying juice that the eldest princess of Griffin murmured in an imperceptible voice: “I hope we can do it again. Meet..."
"Yes."
"You are Arthur's friends, and I will always treat you as friends."
"..."
"I'm sorry, I said something that bothered you.”
“It’s me who should apologize.”
"Silent Prayer."
"I'm listening."
"I have a question and a request. Can you listen to me?"
Gaveersong He opened the other party's hand and his eyes suddenly became profound.
“Of course.”
Ji Xiaodao nodded slightly and answered happily.
“When Arthur and I first met, I actually heard him telling vulgar jokes. He only found out about it after he went on a mission to Griffin, and at that time, he was not far away from him. He was assassinated in less than six hours."
"..."
"How did you know, Silent Prayer?"
