Dragon Gate Swordsman

Unless there is a breakthrough in the altitude of the air, airships can basically only serve as civilian transport flights (Note 1)

The angry Chen Huijie locked herself in a room on the airship... She rarely showed such a little girl's character, but it also proved from the opposite direction how much she hated Wei Yanwu's decision.

Chongxiao vaguely felt that it might be impossible to get the uncle and nephew to have a calm conversation.

"Okay, Missy is angry, whose fault is it?"

"It's you!" X2

"Nani? Why?"

Chongxiao spread his hands innocently.

"You should have told her in advance. When two people suddenly showed up and wanted to go with me when I was about to leave, I got really pissed."

"Then why didn't you say anything?"

"I'm not their swordsmanship instructor."

As the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together." Xing Xiong, who used to be a serious person, began to become cunning and sinister after spending a long time with Chongxiao.

Shi Huaiya’s reason is even more bizarre.

"You shouldn't lie, Chongxiao... Xiaojie hates people who don't tell the truth the most."

"Then it's okay if I just tell them I want to get the subsidy?"

"No, she'll be angry that you don't take her seriously and bother her."

Haha...only women and villains are difficult to raise!

A few minutes later, the huge flying airship began to slowly rise into the air... The circulating Originium furnace that was tightly isolated in the engine room heated the stored inert gas and then released it in a fixed manner, thus giving the airship enough power.

The passenger area of ​​the airship is quite spacious and equipped with a wide variety of leisure and entertainment facilities, such as bars, swimming pools, mini-cinemas, etc. Of course, this also has something to do with the ticket price. If it is the cheapest one, there is nothing to do except listening to music and enjoying the scenery.

Due to the limitations of operational accuracy and the uncertainty of the specific location of the mobile city, the Xiangkong airship rarely stops during flight, and some are even "direct" flights, so sufficient supplies are often prepared.

Shi Huaiya, who had asked for trouble, quickly went to the snack shop in the airship commercial district, saying that she wanted to buy some delicious food for Xiao Longnu as an apology. The serious and responsible Xing Xiong wandered around, saying that he wanted to conduct a simple inspection to prevent any hidden dangers...

As for Chongxiao, he of course used the excuse of having to pee to slip away... What, is it possible that someone really wants to kidnap Xiaolongnu?

There were not many people on the viewing platform because of the constant howling of strong winds and the somewhat dazzling light, which would seriously affect the mood for viewing the scenery. Moreover, the height that the Xiangkong airship could reach was actually higher than that of some more majestic mountains, so there was no need to think about overlooking the earth.

Looking up into the distance, you can see that the huge moving city is gradually getting smaller, and in ten minutes at most, it will completely disappear from the passengers' sight.

This was Chongxiao's first time leaving Longmen, and he unexpectedly discovered that his mood seemed to have not changed at all, neither excited nor melancholy.

Hmm...it seems that I was also a well-informed traveler before I was caught up in that damn natural disaster.

At this moment, a figure appeared in Chongxiao's peripheral vision.

She was a lady who also came here to see the scenery. She was very tall, but her breasts seemed a little pitiful, far smaller than the Xingxiong that Chongxiao had "personally felt", or even smaller than the three beautiful girls... ahem, that's not the point. The point is that this lady seemed a little weak, and her slightly childish face had an abnormal paleness.

Hey, hey, you still want to come to the observation deck after all this?

As the saying goes, it's no use bringing up something that's not relevant. Just when Chongxiao was thinking maliciously that such a delicate body might be blown away by the strong wind, the parasol in the woman's hand suddenly slipped out of her hand and was blown to the downwind position by the wind.

But the strong wind also has its advantages, which is that it gives the parasol a very fast lateral speed. Therefore, Chongxiao, who has quick eyes, hands and long arms, instantly stretched out his arms and grabbed the parasol accurately.

"You'd better not come outside when you're like this."

Chongxiao walked over and returned the parasol to her.

"Thank you... I just needed some fresh air."

The voice is clear and pleasant, like that of a lark, which matches the woman's appearance very well.

Judging from the feathers on both sides of her forehead, it is easy to mistake her for Liberi, but in fact they are just feathers and not part of the body.

In addition, the woman spoke Yan Mandarin very standardly, even too standardly, completely imitating the way of reading from the textbooks, so it sounded a bit out of place.

This aroused some interest in Chongxiao... Don't get me wrong, this isn't a flirtation, I'm just standing there stupidly looking at the scenery, it's better to chat with a pretty girl...

"You're going to Columbia? Then why..."

"There's nothing we can do. The direct flight won't be until the day after tomorrow. It's better to go directly to Londinium and then transfer."

Londinium is the capital of Victoria and the home of the Royal Guards College, where Chen Huijie will live for four years.

But she can still go back to Longmen during holidays.

"I see."

"Can I ask, what is Mr. Chongxiao doing in Victoria?"

Chongxiao didn't think that sending Xiaolongnu to school was a secret mission, but this was obviously not something that a regular Longmen police officer should do, so he vaguely said that he was sending the eldest daughter of the family to school.

"Go to school? Is it the Royal Guards Academy?"

"you know too?"

The woman smiled slightly, "Not many people don't know about this. After all, it's one of the best schools in the entire continent."

As soon as she finished speaking, she seemed to remember something and covered her mouth in surprise.

"Ah... sorry, I don't think I introduced myself yet."

After giving her name in a panic, the woman playfully winked at her left eye and said, "We academic researchers always make mistakes like this."

Of course Chongxiao wouldn't care, and...

Muir Seth is a nice name.

Before they knew it, the two had been chatting for half an hour.

Chongxiao admired Muirseth's knowledge of this land. He could comment on the conditions and problems of almost every country, which benefited him a lot even though he originally came here to kill time.

Muerseth's trip to Colombia was to complete the collection of samples of rare plants and return to his company, Rhine Life, to take over the leadership position of his elderly colleague.

"Congratulations to you then..."

"Thank you, but it's nothing. My colleagues at Rhine Life have similar ideas. And as you can see, my health is not good. It's better to stay at the headquarters than to run around."

Upon hearing this, Chongxiao's first reaction was to drag her to the Guard Bureau and defraud her of another bonus.

But then I thought, no matter how hard we try to maintain public order, there is no place for ecological experts. Besides, it may not be possible to dig into this corner, so I had to give up...

……

It's late at night and everything is silent.

After midnight, there was no one left on the already remote streets. The occasional taxi passing by was just trying to take a shortcut and did not think there would be any passengers here.

Normally, at this time, Mo Li would either be fast asleep on the soft carpet, or pouring chili peppers into a hot copper pot and absentmindedly watching the DVDs he had collected.

But at this moment, she appeared on the roof of her own shop, sitting cross-legged facing the east, with a solemn look hovering between her brows.

Suddenly, a slightly fat but extremely agile figure descended from the night sky and stood steadily behind Mo Li...

"I wonder what the master has summoned me for?"

"...You respect me so much, aren't you afraid that Si Suitai will cause you trouble?"

"Master, you are joking. I have known you for nearly twenty years. How can I be as ungrateful as those officials?"

The slightly fat figure took two steps forward and bowed to Mo Li who stood up.

According to legend, thousands of years ago, the True Dragon Dynasty killed or drove away all the ancient beasts for the sake of peace for the people and the country, so that they could no longer threaten anyone.

The strongest of them all was named Sui, and was said to have immortal power. Although he had assisted the True Dragon Emperor in fighting against other beasts, he was ultimately slain by the Great Flame Warriors, and no longer had the ability to cause harm.

However, immortality is not a rumor. From the corpse of the year-old, twelve soul fragments were born. Each inherited a part of his power and turned into twelve people walking in Dayan.

The True Dragon Dynasty was worried that these people would bring disaster like Sui, so they set out to create the Simui Station to study and monitor them to prevent the worst situation from happening.

This fat man named Guo Shan is the monitor of Simuitai...Then the true identity of Mo Li, who was treated like this by him, is self-evident.

The ninth of the twelve fragments of the Sui Beast is named neither Mo Li nor Nian Hui Han.

Her name is Nian.

"It is my luck that Simuitai sent you here."

"No, no, the contribution that the craftsman has made to our Great Yan is obvious to all. Simaitai is not without short-sighted people, but I am definitely not one of them."

"Well……"

Nian suddenly turned around, and his white robe swung in the air with a sharp sound of breaking through the air (Note 2)

"Let me ask you, what happened to my eldest brother in Yumen?"

Guo Shan opened his eyes wide in surprise and was stunned for several seconds before he replied, "Master, why do you say that?"

"Just say it!"

"...According to the contact we made two months ago, Grandmaster Shenwu is doing fine as usual."

"Is it?"

Nian narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

After a long time, she spoke again.

"Guo Shan, there is something... maybe I need you to do it."

"Master, please speak!"

"After a few days... take someone to the capital."

"Ah? But Inspector Chongxiao of the Imperial Guard? Why bring him to the Capital of Gods?"

"Wei Yanwu will give instructions by then. You just need to take him to Simuitai."

Nian considered for a moment, then added: "Besides...someone will meet up with you."

……

(Note 1: The original work has very few details about transportation. This book will build a system that matches the original work as much as possible. Any discrepancies are completely normal.)

(Note 2: The image of Sui in the original work was too deeply influenced by the secondary creation and has certain two-dimensional characteristics. This book will make some magical changes in this regard based on the thousand-year lifespan. Including Xi, all the fragments are masters of the generation who have left their names in history.)

Chapter 32: Going against the nobles is the protagonist's tradition

Londinium, Victoria.

This country, which is as ancient as Dayan, has been dominating the entire continent since its birth, spreading its glory and honor across the vast territory.

Occupying the core area with the richest resources in the Terra continent, it was the first to give birth to a steam-based technological system, and plundered astonishing wealth from a large number of colonies and enclaves... If there had not been problems within the empire, causing regions such as Columbia and Rem Bito to raise the banner of independence, the country with the largest territory today might not necessarily be Ursus.

But Victoria's internal problems are much more serious than imagined, especially the great revolution nearly twenty years ago. The ruler of the empire, King Aslan, was sent directly to the guillotine, and most of the other members of the royal family disappeared. However, the fruits of the revolution were devoured by the various dukes enfeoffed by the empire, causing the country's upper management system to be in chaos.

With an extremely rich foundation, Londinium, which is governed by the parliament, can still maintain superficial peace. However, those who are concerned know that this peace will not last forever.

Of course, these national-level things cannot affect the historic Royal Guard Academy for the time being, let alone Chongxiao who came this time.

temporary……

"What! A distance of less than ten kilometers costs 12 Lun pounds? Almost 100 Longmen coins!?"

"Look at the way you're making such a fuss. Don't embarrass yourself here."

Shi Huaiya gave Chongxiao a look of disdain.

For a young lady like her who was familiar with the prices in Londinium, expensive taxi fares were nothing new. But where had Chongxiao ever seen people having to break up fifty Longmen coins to use them?

The problem is that the Royal Guards Academy is ten kilometers away from the entrance to the city, and it would be a waste of time to walk there.

In addition, Chongxiao and Xingxiong are both tall, and with the luggage, one taxi is obviously not enough.

Until this moment, Chen Huijie felt more and more the role of her best friend...

The streets of Londinium are much wider than those of Longmen, but perhaps because of its age, the road conditions are not very good and you can feel bumps from time to time when driving.

According to Shi Huaiya, this is also because the parliament is bloated and has chaotic management policies, which leads to the municipal departments often failing to come up with timely and effective measures. The problems of corruption and factionalism are also very serious, resulting in suffering for ordinary people.

"In other words, all the dukes want to rule Londinium, but none of them has the power to do so."

Xingxiong, who was sitting in the same car with Chongxiao, gave his own opinion.

However, the first person to respond to her was not Chongxiao, but the indignant taxi driver.

"Ah... Miss, you are so right. When they executed old King Aslan, my father said it was pure nonsense, and he was right about everything."

"Oh? I thought none of you supported the Emperor."
