Chapter 397: Someone snatches talent
"Ah ho, Mr. Knight! Here we come!!"
To be honest, Duanmuhuai was somewhat surprised when he saw An and Gu Liya appearing in front of him.
"How did you get here... Oh, there is a portal, no, what are you doing here?"
"Because you asked for so much supplies, Mr. Knight, I'm also curious about what's going on here, so why don't you bring Gulea here for a walk?"
Coming to Duanmu Huai's side, An held Duanmu Huai's arm with a smile and said.
This is also normal. Duanmu Huai gathered the refugees from the entire royal city, and then admitted many more refugees along the way. These were not thousands or tens of thousands of people, but... nearly seven million people in total!
Fortunately, Sky City is indeed big enough, otherwise so many people would not be able to fit in! To be honest, this is the first time even Duanmu Huai knows that his sky city can accommodate so many people...
Of course, when there are more people, material problems will arise. Fortunately, Sky City has a portal connecting the Holy City and Manalia, so Duanmu Huai purchased a lot of food and supplies from both sides - of course, these also had to be paid for, and Duanmu Huai certainly couldn't pay for them himself. To do charity, so after obtaining the consent of King Gandhi, he pried Seth's treasury...
Gold was considered hard currency in most of the medieval world.
The Holy City itself has a small population and few supplies. So the big head came from Manalia, and An was also curious about the situation here, so he took Gu Leiya to take a look at it while transporting supplies.
I have to say that An was quite shocked to see so many refugees - millions of refugees, this number is shocking just thinking about it.
It's even harder to imagine when you see it.
"What happened here?"
"Haha, they are also seeking their own death."
Duanmuhuai had no sympathy for Seth. Since An asked about it, he explained the situation to An in detail. After listening to Duanmuhuai's story, An was also... speechless, not knowing what to do. How to say it.
"How can such a country exist..."
"The solidification of classes after a country develops to a certain extent is also a normal phenomenon. We Manalia will have similar problems in the future if we can't handle it."
"How can this be done? It seems that I must remind my father after I return and discuss it carefully..."
After saying this, An also became serious. She didn't want Manalia to become such a country!
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and then Duanmuhuai saw King Gandhi walking in with Majiko. Seeing An holding Duanmu Huai's arm, the two of them were also stunned. Then they looked at Gu Leiya next to them... Well, this person shouldn't be a human, right?
After all, those fat tails and wings don't look like humans. Could they be demons?
"Hello, Mr. Judge, may I ask who these two are..."
King Gandhi coughed and asked curiously, while Duanmuhuai patted An on the head.
"Oh, just to introduce to you, these two are also princesses - Miss Gulea is the princess from the Dragon Kingdom Regnis, and Ann is the princess from the Magic Kingdom Manalia... Well, In my opinion, Manalia is better than Seth. An and Gu Leiya are the king of Seth in the Magic Kingdom and his daughter Princess Majiko.”
"Hello, I'm Gulea."
Upon hearing Duanmu Huai's introduction, Gu Leya lowered her head and saluted solemnly, while An also let go of Duanmu Huai's arm, lifted up her skirt, and performed a princess salute.
"Hello, King Gandhi, I am the first princess of Manalia, Ann."
"Oh...!"
King Gandhi and Majiko were also shocked when they heard Duanmuhuai's introduction. On the one hand, these two were actually princesses, and what surprised them even more was that there was actually a dragon princess among them!
"Hello, Your Royal Highnesses, I am Gandhi, the King of Seth Kingdom...but I am ashamed to say that now I am just a loser running away with my people."
After saying this, King Gandhi smiled bitterly, while Majiko stared at An with a scrutinizing gaze.
The reason is also very simple, just because of Duanmuhuai’s introduction just now, according to Duanmuhuai, the Manalia where Her Royal Highness the Princess is located is also a magic kingdom like Seth, and... He actually said that the Manalia competition Si is still stronger? !
In fact, what Duanmuhuai said is not unfounded. In his opinion, Seth's magic level is actually not too high. Among the magics used by magicians in this world, the most powerful ones are "white destruction ray" and "black destruction ray". Duanmuhuai has also seen its power, but it is only about one-fifth of the BFG9000.
Well, in game terms, the magic of Seth Kingdom is at most the level of an anti-army weapon.
But An's grand magic is directly the anti-city treasure - if that fireball hits, half of King Seth's city will be destroyed.
Not to mention that An's heroic spirit can attack alien robots head-on, and Gu Leiya's dragon roar can also change the world...
In comparison, even Seth's highest combat power is a bit less interesting.
If nothing else, let's talk about the invasion of the demon army. Even if the Maginot Line of Defense is useless, as long as An stands on the front line, it is basically not a problem to withstand half of the demon army.
If it weren't for the cheating "invincible barrier" between the devil and the devil, An would probably be able to tear a few devils apart with his own hands.
So from Duanmu Huai's point of view, it's okay for him to think so.
However, Majiko was obviously a little unconvinced, but... she was also a princess after all, and knew that she couldn't talk casually on such occasions, so she kept silent.
As the king of a country, King Gandhi was certainly not an idiot. The two parties briefly chatted for a few words, and Duanmu Huai also introduced them to the two of them as his fiancées. I have to say that this really shocked King Gandhi, and then he found He made an excuse and left with his daughter.
This is really troublesome...
After leaving the room, King Gandhi frowned. He did not expect that Duanmu Huai already had a fiancée, or two... This is not important. The problem is that no matter how you look at it, Miss An seems to be better than his daughter. , both in appearance and behavior, everyone feels full of confidence. Although King Gandhi still doesn’t know what kind of magical country Manalia is, he knows the magic just by looking at the behavior of His Royal Highness the Princess. The Kingdom is anything but simple.
In comparison, my daughter is...
After looking at Majiko, King Gandhi sighed silently deep in his heart. In terms of appearance, of course he thought his daughter was the cutest in the world. It's just that because Majiko has always paid great attention to his studies, he rarely dresses himself up... This is not okay!
It seems that something must change.
Otherwise...you might lose!
In addition, on the other hand, King Gandhi was relieved. It can be seen from Duanmu Huai's two fiancées that he is still a man after all. As for having two fiancées, it is definitely a matter of ordinary people. is a problem. But it's not a problem when it comes to Duanmu Huai. After all, a hero is a man and a man stands upright. What's wrong with how many wives he has?
Since there are one and two, then there will be three and four, right?
It shows that my daughter still has a chance!
If Duanmuhuai knew what King Gandhi was thinking, he would definitely pat him on the shoulder and say that it is natural for men to love sex, but brother... did you know that there is something called "same husband"? Frankly speaking, Duanmu Huai is not sure whether there is love between himself, An and Gu Liya. To say that they get along well is of course very good. But they feel more like good friends. An is more likely to be with Gu Leiya, and Duanmu Huai is completely their tool.
After all, you see, according to the way romance TV dramas or romance novels are written, men and women generally fall in love with each other so deeply that they want to possess everything about each other, and they will become jealous if they look at others.
For example, the overbearing CEO will put a collar on the heroine and lock her in a cage. Even if she looks at other men one more time, the heroine will be unable to take care of herself, and then give her a bang to express "everything about you is mine." ………
Or the yandere heroine will follow her boyfriend, watching her boyfriend chatting and laughing with other girls with blank eyes, and then slowly take out a kitchen knife or something from her schoolbag...
< br>
Well, although these examples are a bit extreme, this is what love is—should it?
But there is no such problem between Duanmuhuai, An and Gu Leiya. Duanmu Huai and An get along well, but Gu Leiya is a little reserved when facing him. Duanmu Huai treats An and Gu Leiya equally, and An has always been attached to Gu Leiya, and the two of them are in pairs... Duanmu Huai has not been seen to be jealous.
Moreover, Duanmu Huai has never been in love since he was a child because of his face. Naturally, he doesn’t know what real love is like in reality. At least if you compare it with love in novels or movies and animations, it is definitely not like this. of.
Duanmu Huai likes An, mostly because of An's lively and cheerful personality, which is very popular. Moreover, her strength is not weak and she can help him a lot.
As for why An likes herself... Duanmu Huai doesn't understand.
"Speaking of which, it's rare for you to stick to me so tightly."
Looking at An holding her arm, Duanmuhuai asked curiously. Although he and An had a good relationship, the other party rarely made such intimate gestures toward Duanmu Huai that resembled a couple.
"Well...how should I say..."
Hearing Duanmuhuai's inquiry, An tilted his head.
"I always feel like you have some kind of attraction, Mr. Knight. It's very flavorful."
"Taste?"
Duanmuhuai raised his hand and smelled it...Have you taken a shower?
"I can't tell, but it gives me a very rough and secure atmosphere. Well... maybe Mr. Knight, your charm has increased?"
"Is there such a good thing?"
Hearing An's words, Duanmu Huai's eyes lit up. Although his charm was still a pitiful 2 points, he had no intention of continuing to increase. But An is not the kind of person who can lie. In other words - has his attractiveness grown?
"And...there seems to be something...strange..."
Just when Duanmuhuai was complacent, An was holding Duanmuhuai's arm, and his eyes were gradually blurred. For some reason, An felt like just holding Duanmuhuai's arm made his body become soft. , and there seemed to be a sore feeling coming from inside her body, making her unable to help but want to get closer...
"An?"
At this time, Gu Leiya's voice sounded, making An Meng regain his consciousness.
"What's wrong with you? Your face is so red, are you okay?"
"Ah, it's okay, it's okay!"
Hearing Gu Liya's voice, An also hurriedly let go of Duanmuhuai's arm, and then patted his face hard. At this moment, An felt her heart pounding loudly, just like the feeling she had sometimes when she and Gu Leiya were alone...
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to go back?"
"No, no, no, I'm going to stay here for a while."
"Okay then, I'll prepare a room for you two."
Duanmu Huai didn't take it seriously. In fact, in his opinion, there was nothing wrong with this. The kind of crazy love in love novels, movies and anime is indeed unforgettable, but unfortunately, in this world - that kind of persistent love is simply the evil of obsession, and it is the best potential believer of the God of Desire. !
So isn't it good for them to be like this?
Here Duanmu Huai is arranging for An and Gu Leiya, but over there King Gandhi is in a very bad mood, not only because the possibility of his daughter has been greatly reduced, but also because of the uninvited guest who has come to his door.
"What do you want from me?"
Looking at the intelligence chief and military chief in front of him, King Gandhi didn't look good. He is not a fool. He has long suspected that these senior Seth officials may be the source of leaked information. After all, they have motives and reasons to do so, right?
"Your Majesty, we are here this time to give you a suggestion."
"Suggestion?"
"That's right."
Seth's senior officials still didn't know what King Gandhi was thinking. At this moment, they were looking at King Gandhi with bright eyes.
"This city in the sky is really unparalleled and amazing, but such a treasure is in the hands of one person. Don't you think, Your Majesty, this is a waste of natural resources?"
“…………………???”
Hearing this, King Gandhi looked at them in confusion.
"What do you mean?"
The senior officials looked at each other, and then the intelligence chief stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, we believe that this great city in the sky is the highest masterpiece of magic, and such a city can only be owned by our Magic Kingdom Seth! At the moment, this city is almost all citizens of Seth, as long as With your order, we can completely occupy this city!”
"………………"
Hearing this, King Gandhi was completely stunned. He looked at his group of senior officials like idiots.
Is there anything wrong with your brain?
Isn't this a suicide?
