Chapter 572 Situation
After a while, Su Mo and the others came to the conference hall, which was decorated very novelly.
The entire hall is surrounded by lush green natural vegetation, and many colorful birds perch on it, emitting crisp bird calls from time to time.
In the center of the conference hall, there are two rows of red wooden chairs.
These chairs are naturally grown, very special, and emit a very fresh fragrance that makes people feel refreshed.
"Please take a seat!"
Bello led Spade to the front chair.
"Thank you."
Spade took his seat calmly.
Su Mo and Wenluosi stood directly behind Spade, and neither of them had any intention of taking a seat.
At this time, a well-dressed senior official of the Annas Kingdom walked in, and each of them walked up to Spade with a smile on their face.
They shook hands and said hello.
"Hello Lord Spade, welcome to your visit, I am Feiler, the senior executive of the Kingdom of Annas"
Spade stood up slowly and greeted every official patiently.
Although it is cumbersome and boring, the etiquette must be sufficient.
Now is the most important period for the league, and personal actions must not affect the overall market.
At this time, Su Mo clearly felt a sharp gaze falling on him.
Su Mo glanced sideways and saw behind Bei Luo, a three-meter-tall man with a golden lion head and wearing heavy mechanical armor, staring at him.
This guy gives people a lot of pressure. If I guess correctly, he should be a top expert.
After Su Mo confirmed the source of the abnormal gaze, he ignored it.
At this moment Bello began to talk to Spud.
"Lord Spade, being able to meet you in the vast sea of stars shows the fate of our two countries."
"Yes! Lord Bello is right. Is your country going smoothly on this journey?"
Spade nodded in response.
"The overall situation is going smoothly, but the starry sky is full of crises, and we have also encountered a lot of troubles and dangers. I believe your situation, Lord Spade, is similar?"
"This is certainly inevitable and can only be overcome."
"Lord Spade, when you are away from home, the most reliable thing is your friends. So if something happens, we still have to take care of each other. Although the alliance between our two countries has not been officially signed yet, it is basically on the table. ”
"Of course, we are also looking forward to the official establishment of the alliance."
"You can rest assured that there will basically be no problems in this regard. Because you also know the current situation. Those very aggressive countries have united together. If we don't join the group, we will definitely be the unlucky ones in the end. ”
Bello consciously or unconsciously reminded Spade of the stakes involved.
Spade said with a straight face: "Although I have been sailing for a long time, I have heard about this matter. Six highly aggressive civilizations, mainly the High Motus Civilization, have united in the Together.”
"Yes, their ambitions are extremely great. If we don't unite together now, we will probably be targeted by them soon and eliminated one by one."
When Bello said this, his expression was extremely serious, and it could be seen that the current situation was not very optimistic.
Spade said: "Don't worry, as long as we are united, they will not dare to act rashly."
"What Lord Spade said is that it is a pity that the civilization that claims to be immortal is too arrogant and is unwilling to form an alliance with us, otherwise we would not be so passive."
When Bello mentioned the Immortal, her eyes revealed extreme pity.
"That civilization is a bit special. Its own technology and strength are super strong. I estimate that even without the call of the star ring, they will soon enter the star sea era on their own. So he has a certain degree of pride, but in this kind of situation In this era, it is very foolish to be too proud.”
Spade gave his own evaluation. He was actually worried about the current situation. A total of twelve civilizations have entered, and they have not yet left the protection range of the star ring. Generally speaking, they have not even left the gate of Novice Village, and there is almost a fight inside.
There are now three factions in total. A total of five relatively democratic and reasonable civilizations in the Federation are about to form an offensive and defensive alliance, namely.
Federal Republic
Republic of Gauga
Free State of Yamak
Kingdom of Annas
The Free State of Haike (Birth in the Sea)
Six civilizations, led by Gaumotos, have reached an alliance, respectively.
Falais Tribe (Birth Underground)
High Motos Empire
Demun Empire
Crimson Empire
Feregil Empire
The Tyrudil Empire.
What remains is a single faction, the civilization known as the Immortals.
"It is true that unity is strength. After all, there are so many lessons learned. The monsters outside are the real nightmare."
Bello replied with great agreement.
Su Mo stood behind Spade and listened carefully to their conversation.
He was also very surprised in his heart. He didn't expect that this interstellar era was really changing so fast. They have only been around for a long time, and the situation has undergone such a big change. It seems that if they don't work hard, they may be eliminated by the times in the blink of an eye.
After a long time, Bello, the others and Spade finished their formal conversation.
Bello stood up and extended the invitation gracefully.
"Lord Spade, it's almost time. The dinner is ready. How about we go over and continue chatting while having dinner?"
"It's a great honor."
Spade replied with a salute.
"Please!"
Bello replied with a smile.
Then Su Mo and the others followed Bei Luo and walked towards the banquet hall next door.
Soon they arrived at the banquet hall. The banquet hall here is also very unique. The walls around the hall are covered with vines. On the vines are blooming beautiful flowers. The species has never been seen before, and it is somewhat similar to the rose family.
In the center of the hall, there is a twenty-meter-long natural gemstone dining table, and even the chairs are made of gemstones.
A set of wooden tableware is placed on the dining table.
"Please take a seat!"
Bello extended her hand and invited Spade to take the guest's seat.
At this time, Spade also turned to Su Mo and Wenluosi and said, "You two should take a seat together."
"Yes!"
Su Mo and Wen Luosi didn't refuse. They were indeed a little hungry.
Soon everyone was seated.
Bello clapped his hands, and a tall girl wearing a green robe, with pointed ears, and a green wreath on her head, with bare feet, was holding a piece of delicious food covered with a dinner plate in her hand.
They placed it in front of everyone, one for each person.
"You're welcome, enjoy."
Bello said with a smile.
Then the girl standing next to him opened the plates for everyone.
Seeing the food on the plate, Su Mo took a deep breath. A green, greasy, and squirming insect the size of a fist came into his eyes.
"This is one of the top delicacies of our family, Luying. It is purely natural and contains no trace of pollution. It is extremely rich in protein, trace elements, and some excellent active substances for the human body. It is very simple to eat."
Bello introduced it and demonstrated it herself. She picked up a sharp knife and cut it elegantly!
Thick green juice flowed out, extremely fatty.
Bello then picked up the fork, forked a piece and put it in his mouth.
Su Mo felt like his scalp was going to explode, but it didn't mean that he couldn't eat it. If it was a matter of life and death and he was about to starve to death, of course he would have to eat no matter what.
The problem is that he doesn't think he's ready to starve to death.
At this time, Su Mo looked at Wenluosi from the corner of his eye. It could be seen that Wenluosi had no intention of taking action, and the situation was probably not much better.
However, to Su Mo's surprise, Spade calmly learned how to cut Beiluo. He put the cut bugs into his mouth, chewed them and swallowed them without any fear, and he did not forget to praise them.
"Fat and juicy, really the best."
"As long as Mr. Spade likes it, there are several more dishes to come. I hope you can comment on them one by one."
Bei Luo replied with satisfaction. Of course Bei Luo also saw that Su Mo and the others did not take action. Of course, she knew that Su Mo and the others might not be used to it, but she had no intention of forcing or persuading.
As long as Spade eats it and the leader gives him face, nothing else matters.
Then one delicious dish after another arrived.
There are no surprises, there are all kinds of bugs in all colors. And they all have a very common feature, that is, they are all insects, and they are very fat in size. According to them, they are juicy, delicious, and beautiful.
Anyway, Su Mo really had no appetite at all, and now he was looking forward to the end of the banquet.
Fortunately, when the meal was finally served, Su Mo finally saw normal food, some fruits of various colors, and I have to say that these fruits were very good.
All are bright in color, thin in skin and thick in flesh, and very sweet.
One bite and it even bursts with juice. Although he didn't know what varieties they were, it didn't stop Su Mo from giving these fruits a very high rating. They were definitely the most delicious fruits he had ever tasted.
It's a pity that for the sake of image, Su Mo and the others only ate a little bit symbolically.
The whole banquet lasted for more than two hours and finally ended.
Bello directly arranged for someone to take Spade and the others to the best VIP room.
After a long time, Su Mo, Wenluosi and Spade came to the rest room.
Bello arranged it very appropriately. It was a double room, and Spade could live in the master bedroom. Of course, it is called the master bedroom, but it is not a pure room, but a small independent house with all kinds of functions.
Su Mo, Wenluosi and others lived in a sub-room attached to the main house so that they could protect Spade.
Of course, in terms of security, in order to prevent accidents, Bello also arranged many of his own elite personnel at the outermost level.
After all, Spade's identity is so important. If something goes wrong, it will be troublesome.
At this time, Spade looked at Wenrose, who understood and began to check the room to make sure there was nothing wrong.
Immediately after, Spade took out a small jammer from his pocket and opened it.
After doing all this, Spade said a little tiredly: "Tell me how you feel."
"Judging from the current situation, the Kingdom of Annas probably really wants an alliance."
Wenroth expressed her opinion.
"There is nothing sincere or unsincere, in fact, it is all out of necessity. Let me put it bluntly, take our federation itself as an example. If it were not for the dangerous oppression from the outside world, do you think our federation could be established so smoothly?"
Spade said simply and roughly.
"Unity will come under pressure."
Su Mo said thoughtfully.
"Yes, when the external pressure eases, or other factors emerge, the alliance will have problems sooner or later. But this is all for later, it doesn't matter. All we need to do is to do what we are doing now."
Spade replied with satisfaction.
"Yes."
Su Mo and Wen Luosi nodded in response.
At this time, Spade raised his head and looked at Su Mo, showing a faint smile to the two of them. The serious look on his face dissipated a lot, and he suddenly said something nonsensical.
"You two probably haven't had enough to eat today."
Su Mo and Wen Luosi showed a hint of embarrassment.
“I’m not used to it.”
"Do as the Romans do, and you have to give the other party some respect. But don't hold back if you're not used to it. Basically nothing will happen next. I will slowly get in touch with Beiluo on my own. You don't have to follow me. It’s time to go out for a walk. After all, I haven’t eaten enough. Isn’t it normal to go out for a walk?”
Spade said with a smile.
Su Mo and Wen Luosi reacted immediately after being surprised.
Spade is letting them move freely and intends to let them go out to collect information and materials about the Yanas civilization.
"Lord Spade, what do you mean?"
Wenroth asked a little uncertainly.
"It's good to know."
Spade didn't say so.
"I understand."
Wenluosi nodded quickly in response.
"Then let's go find something to eat?"
Su Mo tried to speak.
"Wait a minute, don't be so anxious, I have something for you,"
Spade said in a very good mood, and then he walked towards his suitcase.
Immediately afterwards, Spade opened the suitcase and found many round dark blue coins inside. These coins are made of a special metal material with excellent color, and whether it is something else added inside or due to the material itself, they actually emit little bits of starlight.
"This is?"
Su Mo asked with some familiarity.
"This is a Star Coin."
Winros recognized it at a glance.
When Su Mo heard what Wenros said, he watched it carefully. This was the first time he saw a real star coin. The texture was really incredible.
Spade said to Su Mo and Wenluosi: "You all take some. You always have to pay when you go shopping. Star currency exchange tickets cannot be circulated here. After all, those things are just vouchers issued by ourselves. Another point is that although Bello promised that all consumption here will be paid for by them, as members of the Federation, we have our own principles and pride. We are absolutely not allowed to buy things without paying, and we cannot accept them privately. Any gifts from the other party”
"Understood."
Su Mo and Wen Luosi responded one after another.
In fact, even if Spade didn't ask, Su Mo and the others would not really accept the gift.
"In addition, I will give you a little tip. In unfamiliar areas, you can look for people you know as an entry point. This will help you quickly understand this unfamiliar civilization. Of course, it should be natural and don't look too deliberate."
Spade prompted.
Su Mo and Wen Luosi more or less heard the hidden meaning, and they replied.
"Understood."
Then Su Mo and Wenluosi each took a handful of star coins and left.
Not long after, Su Mo and the two walked to the exit. Standing at the door was a guard named Yanas Kingdom. Leading a captain, he saluted Su Mo and asked.
"Dear guest, do you want to go out?"
"Yes, we are not used to dinners, so we just want to go out for a walk and buy something to eat. Can't we go out?"
Su Mo opened his mouth to explain.
"Lord Bello has explained that you are distinguished guests and can freely enter and leave Green Gore City. But for your safety, do you need us to send someone to follow you?"
The captain of the guard asked.
"We don't need this. We are combatants ourselves and don't need those."
Su Mo responded with a smile.
"Okay, that's no problem, but you need to be careful and try not to conflict with others. If there are conflicts that cannot be resolved, you can ask the patrol soldiers for help. They will notify us and we will deal with it for you first. .”
"Understood, thank you."
Wenroth smiled and nodded.
Soon the two of them left this small palace-like building.
Su Mo turned to look at Wenluosi and tried to ask.
"Winros, do you want to go shopping by yourself?"
"I'm not familiar with this place. I wonder if you would mind coming together?"
Wenroth asked with a smile.
"Well, I don't mind this."
Su Mo thought for a moment and said, of course, from the bottom of his heart, he still preferred to walk alone. Of course Su Mo would never say that. Isn't this the way to offend people?
"You say it so reluctantly. Are you afraid that your girlfriend will find out?"
Wenluosi had gotten along with Su Mo during this period, and she was somewhat familiar with him. She probably understood something about Su Mo's character, so she joked with interest.
"Ahem, there is no such thing."
"Then let's go together."
Wenroth replied with a smile.
"Okay."
On the other side, in a very warmly decorated room.
Bello was reviewing some documents when there was a knock on the door.
Dong Dong~
"Come in."
Bello replied calmly.
At this time, a woman with cat ears came in, and she bowed respectfully to Bello.
"Commander Bello."
"What happened to Xiao Mi?"
Xiaomi Gongjinghui reported: "The two most important combatants in the visiting federation left the rest area on the grounds that they were not full and were heading to the bustling main city."
"Well, I understand."
"Do you want to send someone to follow?"
"No need, the entire Green Gore City is under surveillance. And if you send someone to follow alone, it will be easy to be discovered by the other party. Those two are masters of the Federation, and their strength will not be much worse."
"But, we just let them wander around our city?"
"It's okay, we don't have anything shameful to do, but you have to be careful not to let them get close to our ICSW (Life Gene Laboratory) area. That is our top-secret area. No matter what else they do, they will do whatever they want. Can’t stay for a few days.”
Bello replied calmly.
"I understand."
After Xiaomi finished speaking, he left.
Watching Xiao Mi leave, Bei Luo looked thoughtful. After a conversation with Spade, she found that the federal politicians were more calm than she thought.
It seems that it is not very easy to fool, and the misleading work needs to be improved.
On the main street of Green Gore City, Su Mo and Wenluosi were in a state of confusion. From the moment they left the controlled area and entered the bustling main street, they realized that they seemed to have overlooked one thing.
They ignored the curiosity of the residents of Annas towards these outsiders.
The return rate along the way is almost 100%.
Su Mo was very uncomfortable and whispered to Wenluosi.
"Are they staring at us like this? Nothing can be done."
"Why can't we do it? Change our thinking. We are just looking for food. There is a stall over there that seems pretty good."
Wenluosi replied with a smile, then stretched out her hand and pulled Su Mo towards the stall.
Su Mo was also a little helpless. Wenluosi really regarded herself as a normal shopping tourist at this time.
Soon they came to a fruit stall. There are all kinds of strange-shaped fruits on it.
"What fruits are these?"
Wenroth asked.
As a result, the stall owner didn't respond at all. Wenluosi looked at the stall owner in confusion.
The stall owner was a young woman with pointed ears. She was looking at Su Mo in a daze.
Wenluosi raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said to Su Mo with a smile.
"You have good charm. You are fair and clean. It seems that you have just stepped on their aesthetic taste."
"No way, don't talk nonsense."
Su Mo was also speechless for a while.
"I'm not talking nonsense. You see, people keep staring at you and no business is done."
Wenluosi motioned to Su Mo to take a look.
Su Mo heard what Wenluosi said and looked over carefully, and found that it was exactly what Wenluosi said. The other party kept staring at him, and he shouted unnaturally.
"Boss?"
The girl in front of her suddenly came back to her senses, and her face turned a little red.
"Sorry, sorry."
"It's okay, what kind of fruits are these."
Su Mo said nonchalantly.
"This is honey fruit, this is five-leaf fragrant."
The girl said excitedly.
"Give us some, and make two."
Su Mo pointed out seven or eight kinds of fruits.
"Okay."
The girl picked up the thick paper bag and filled two big bags for Su Mo and the others.
"How much."
Su Mo asked.
"It doesn't cost money. I have been told above that you can buy things for free."
The girl in front of me waved her hands quickly and said.
"No, I still have to pay."
Su Mo said and directly took out a 10-star coin denomination and placed it on the stall.
"There are too many, I can't find them."
When the girl saw the 10-star coin, she had a look of disbelief on her face. You must know that her entire fruit stand is not worth even one star coin!
"It's okay, no need to change. It's not enough money."
Su Mo just left with two bags of fruit. It was not that Su Mo wanted to be taken advantage of. But the star coins given by Spade, the lowest denomination is 10 star coins.
Moreover, Spade has told us not to weaken the Federation's tolerance.
Su Mo is still good at pretending to be a wealthy person with public funds.
Just after Su Mo and the two left the stall, many residents of Yanas gathered around and sighed as they looked at the 10-star coin.
"These foreign guests are so rich. They pay with star coins without blinking an eye."
"And that man is so handsome!"
"Hey, it's forbidden to harass them from above."
"Pursuing women is called harassment, but who said that pursuing men is harassment? It's called love."
Several young women said excitedly.
"Sisters, let's go."
"Okay."
At this time, Su Mo was holding two bags of fruit, and took out a fruit from it and took a bite. It was sweet and sour.
His eyes lit up, and he took one out and handed it to Wenroth.
"It tastes great."
Wenluosi took it, took a bite and said, "It's very good. If you sell this fruit to the Federation, it is estimated that the price can easily increase at least hundreds of times. In fact, this is a kind of resource, and we don't need to pay special attention to it." What, just pay attention to this feature.”
Su Mo probably understood after hearing what Wen Luosi said. Wenroth was reminding herself that they wanted to investigate each other's civilization, but not deliberately like a military mission, but to understand the habits of this civilization from the ground up.
It’s easy to learn from each other after you find their strengths, as well as their profitable areas. ps: I’ve been quite busy recently, please forgive me, I’ll update more tomorrow!
