Saya walked up to Pearlis, shook hands with her, and then shook hands with Carly beside her.
"If you are in Chaoqu later, I will come to find you. I hope you won't get into trouble."
"Yes." Perlis nodded, "Be careful."
"Don't worry, I've run this countless times!"
Saya waved to the group of people, turned and ran away, until her figure disappeared in front of the RV door, her blue eyes were always looking at Pearlis and Carly.
This caused her to bump into the door without paying attention when getting into the car:
"Ouch."
"..."
Soon, [Land Turtle] turned at the platform and drove non-stop into the city - Shaya would leave from the Qingcheng Frontier Road and go directly to the East Great Wall, and then set off to Yuanzhen from there.
Watching the black RV going away, Perlis felt inexplicably lonely, as she quite liked that little car.
"Let's go."
Tianshi said this and pressed her wrist a few times. At the same time, Perlis felt a slight vibration in her wrist.
She raised her hand and saw that [Poetry Sea] had projected an interface in the air with a transfer reminder written on it:
"The Great Wall Bank account has been opened. Current balance: 30000 Qilang Yuan."
"Huh? So much money..." Perlis murmured.
"The money I'm transferring to you should be enough to support a wealthy life for a month," Tian Shi said quietly, "Only with money can you travel the world."
"Isn't this too much..."
"It's okay, it's just one day's royalties from me."
Tianshi Wenjing's smile was suddenly filled with holy light in Perlis's vision, which was the breath of the rich.
That's a lot of royalties for one day...it seems like she is really a famous writer...
I'll have to read her work if I get a chance.
"The terminal of [Shihai] basically covers all information functions. I have added my contact information to your terminal. Even if I get lost, we can contact each other quickly."
"How convenient..." Carly exclaimed, "The terminal over there is still physical."
"We used to be like that, but in recent years, there has been a strong trend towards de-facilitation, and everything has become much lighter."
Tianshi said, pointing to the passage leading to the city, and said to Perlis and Carly:
"Let's go, now is the right time."
After saying that, Tianshi turned around and left as if she was sleepwalking.
Looking at the young writer's back, Perlis wanted to ask her why she was so nice to her. After all, she didn't seem to be an official, and to [Turtle], she was just a tourist.
Just as she was about to speak, the words Ikan Gellert had said to her the last time they met suddenly rang in her mind:
“Poets need to travel in order to create new poems.”
Perhaps, only experience can shape a truly strong soul.
And if the soul is not strong, how can the writer inject living words onto paper?
Tianshi wants to understand me, perhaps also for the sake of the world she writes about.
Perlis suddenly realized that her desire to communicate with others was progress.
......
Capital Aslan Castle - I-Tran Kingdom
"boom--"
Two streaks of white air broke through the clouds, tearing apart the gloomy cumulonimbus clouds and flying towards the outline of the Bell of Order.
This huge movement made the pedestrians on the street look up for a moment, then they lowered their heads as if nothing had happened and buried their gazes in the seemingly endless drizzle in the capital.
"..."
In the receiving room at the top of Glinista, Harry Smith opened his sealed mask and immediately began to chatter like a sparrow:
"I don't think it's right. If we reject the invitation of the alliance, what will happen if the kingdom falls? Our fleet simply cannot bring the southern territory within range. I don't like those dukes. They will be the first to surrender when a war breaks out..."
Beside Harry, Achilles quietly took off his rain-soaked helmet and silently dismantled his steam armor.
Harry Smith, on the other hand, kept talking, mostly complaining about William III's arrogant attitude.
"...Your Majesty the King shouldn't do this. E.Tran is not strong enough now. We shouldn't be so careless..."
"...The fleet of the Dila people is much stronger than ours. Even they are considering an alliance. We..."
"...The new king of Thebeth looks very young and much wiser than His Majesty. He must have been in many battles, unlike the old man sitting in Alfred's palace who is ignorant of the world..."
Achilles still didn't speak. After getting out of the steam armor, he changed into a formal suit neatly. His face with deep scars still had no expression.
Several months had passed since the incident of the Blackfish coming ashore in Hillster, and it was at that time that Harry Smith joined the Steam Gendarmerie and became Achilles' apprentice.
As for why he was able to join, the superficial reason was William III's promise to the arms dealer Chadwick Smith, and the underlying reason was that the steam gendarmerie was in urgent need of people, and Harry was the most capable member of the gendarmerie at the time.
Harry lost his father in that fish disaster, which is why he is so obsessed with revenge on those responsible -
——The [Holy Temple] has already concluded that the person responsible for the fish disaster is the [Black Angel] and the federal people behind him.
"..."
"... we should join the alliance, we must..."
"child."
Achilles' voice was soft, but Harry immediately shut his mouth and looked at the old gendarme in front of him in awe.
He seldom spoke, and was very frugal with his words, but he also had a natural sense of pressure:
"We are soldiers, following orders."
Achilles walked up to Harry and placed his calloused hands on Harry's armored shoulders, which made Harry feel heavy.
He was silent for a while before speaking softly:
"Even if the order wasn't correct?"
"Yes," Achilles said, his eyes dull, "your father knew that."
"So he's dead."
“So he lit a fire.”
Achilles said, turned around and stretched his neck:
"Let's go, the [Sanctuary] is still waiting."
Achilles left along the escalator. Harry stood there for a long time before he began to take off his armor with some reluctance.
......
3) The Great Wall (Part 7)
The majestic temple where the [Church] is located is the headquarters of the [Steam Gendarmerie]. Like the royal residence, it is also located inside Alfred Palace, separated from William III's palace by only a huge central garden.
Passing through the luxurious corridor, Achilles pushed open the door of the temple, and a deep breath hit him in the face.
The entire temple was dark inside, with only a ray of light shining down from the towering dome, illuminating a garden in the center of the temple.
The garden is made up of ancient marble columns and is slightly incomplete. It is surrounded by flowers and plants and is full of vitality. Under the illumination of the holy light, it seems as if there are spots of light floating.
On a chair in the center of the garden, a petite girl leaned quietly on a marble chair with her eyes closed. Her body was connected by countless cables decorated with flowers and plants, like a caged bird bound by vines.
That is the [Holy Temple], the direct jurisdiction of the [Steam Gendarmerie].
No one knew her name, and some even suspected that she had died long ago and was just a puppet that transmitted messages.
"Achilles, you're late."
[Temple] did not open her eyes, but her ethereal voice made Harry shudder and he couldn't help but want to surrender.
But Achilles acted as if nothing had happened, with no expression on his face.
"Delayed because of a small matter," Achilles said calmly, "Order?"
"Go to the South Territory. Duke Bill will provide accommodation."
"Purpose?"
"Seize the keys to heaven."
The voice of [Holy Temple] was still ethereal, and a glimmer of light rarely appeared in Achilles' eyes, but it soon dimmed again.
He was silent for a moment, nodded, turned around and said to Harry:
"Leave tomorrow."
Harry was a little confused. He wanted to ask Achilles what this meant, but when he thought of the conversation on Glinista, he kept his mouth shut.
The two [Steam Gendarmes] saluted the [Church], then turned around and left the temple.
......
"The Holy Temple sent them away?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Damn it, you didn't even ask for my opinion."
On the throne, William III waved his hand and cursed, signaling all the civil servants present to leave.
Anger burned on his face, but when he saw tonight's supper, the anger dissipated like mist:
"Whatever, it's consistent with my plan anyway, hum..."
William III picked up the pure gold knife and began to cut the steak in front of him, humming a little tune.
Thunder rumbled in the sky above Alfred Palace. The weather in Aslanborg had not been very good recently.
Of course, it has never been better.
The rain in I-Tran will never stop.
......
Pearlis had never imagined that she could walk into a painting, but when she walked into Qingcheng, she had this illusion.
At this moment, she was sitting on a solitary boat, and the drizzle fell on the wooden oval ceiling, making a comfortable sound of raindrops.
The water of the stream is dark green, like rippled emerald. Both sides of the river are filled with oriental-style buildings, with herringbone-shaped black roofs arranged unevenly on both sides of the river, layer upon layer showing the unique charm of oriental architecture.
The river water washes the steps in front of the houses at close range, and right in front of them is the main gate. If you didn't know about the existence of boats, you would think that the people here can walk on the water.
The river is like the streets of a water town, harmoniously carrying the blood of the city and flowing in the hazy drizzle.
"It's so cool. It's quite hot outside the Great Wall."
Carly was looking at the scenery outside through the window of the raft. The window was very strange. It was shaped like a peach blossom with complex wooden patterns, and the hollow gaps in the window were the windows.
She saw the weeping willows hanging down from the shore into the water, creating waves on the lake surface under the breeze. The raft was swaying among these overlapping waves, extremely harmonious and peaceful.
"The spring water is bluer than the sky, and I sleep on a painted boat listening to the rain."
She recited the sweet poem softly, and as if she remembered something, she wrote something down in the notebook.
And Perlis was still intoxicated in the misty atmosphere. When she saw the gunboats that blocked out the sky, she thought Qi Lang would be a rusty iron rock standing in the wasteland, strong but lifeless.
And now, sitting on the small raft driven by the boatman, she felt only two words:
elegant.
"...the river water comes from the sky, with dozens of bends (Qi Lang language)..."
"...The boat was rocking, and the girl was laughing at the bow (Qi Lang language)..."
The boatman standing at the bow sang loudly in the drizzle. He wore a straw hat and the oars in his hands looked primitive, yet seemed effortless.
"Qingcheng is close to the border, and people there live a carefree life. Apart from poetry, they don't use too much modern technology in their lives."
Tianshi finished writing in the notebook, turned around, and introduced Pearlis and Carly with a smile.
"This is my hometown. I come back to live here for a while every year."
