This was to avoid trouble, and also to prevent the Sarkaz mercenaries who would come to lead the way from becoming suspicious and causing unnecessary misunderstandings.
Ikaros really needs to consider his language and what he knows.
Otherwise, being noticed by others that he was too familiar with Theresa would be a small matter, but being misunderstood as a malicious foreign assassin who deliberately approached Theresa would be a big trouble.
"Eh? About that demon king? I'm curious too, little Ekaros, can you tell me about it?"
While Ekalos was thinking about what to say to get around the topic, Luciana, who was standing by, heard the noises of the girls' interaction. She curiously pushed her daughter aside and moved closer to Ekalos, her eyes and tone full of curiosity.
He was totally unaware of the gradually gloomy face and the black aura emanating from his own daughter, who had been pushed to the side in an empty space by him.
"Mother...you suddenly pushed me away from Ekaros. Isn't that bad?"
Resisting the urge to play a piece of music for his unique mother, Arturo squeezed in front of Ekalos again with a gloomy face, looking at the woman who looked 80% like him with a kind face, and speaking in a somewhat unfriendly tone.
It was at this moment that Luciana realized what she had just done. Seeing the gloomy Arturo, she instantly felt herself sweating profusely. She quickly left the seat next to Ekalos that originally belonged to Arturo empty and said with a smile:
"Ahahaha, look at me, I forgot about my precious daughter."
"I'm so sorry, Arturo. I forgot just now. After all, I am really curious about the Demon King. As your good boy, you will not be so cruel as to deny your curiosity, right? My good boy~"
As she spoke, Luciana even hoarse her voice. Her originally mature and steady voice with a hint of liveliness suddenly became like that of a sweet girl of sixteen or seventeen years old. Arturo felt a chill down his spine and his eyes changed when he looked at his mother.
Originally, Arturo just felt a little scared about his mother's silent seizure of his place next to Ekalos, and he didn't feel anything else.
But now Arturo looked at his mother who was begging for forgiveness in a coquettish voice with disgust on his face.
The reason is none other than her.
after all……
"...Mother, do you know that your image and behavior are really not suitable for pretending to be young? It is somewhat unacceptable. I really don't want to describe you as disgusting."
Although I don't want to hurt my mother, I also don't want to say bad things to my dear mother.
But in order to prevent Luciana from damaging the image of the Sacotas outside, and to protect his own and Ekalos' ears and hearts, Arturo felt that he still needed to give his unreliable mother a warning.
"Wha...what?! Little Arturo actually thinks I'm disgusting, I...I..."
But Arturo's beating undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to Luciana's heart, severely crushing the remaining girlish heart of the wife, and directly gave Luciana the opportunity to fly into Ekalos' arms, pretending to be heartbroken and sobbing:
"Wuwuwu, little Ekalos, Arturo despises me because I am old and ugly. From now on, I can only rely on you to live. If you also despise me and don't tell me about the Demon King, I don't think I will be able to survive in the future, wuwuwu..."
Although it may seem like a ulterior motive, we have to admit that when a character like a mother suddenly pretends to be heartbroken and throws herself into the arms of her lover to confide in him, even if the words she says are a little inappropriate, few people are destined to remain indifferent.
Ikaros certainly couldn't do it anyway.
"Eh? Hey hey hey...Mama Luciana, don't say that. Arturo will definitely not dislike you!"
Even though he knew that Luciana was probably crying fake tears, Ikaros still hugged the beautiful woman as usual. He first said a few words to Qingmei, whose face was about to turn completely black, to prevent Luciana from suffering mental damage, and then began to comfort her skillfully:
"Really, Mother Luciana, don't cry. Your clothes are about to get dirty. I will tell you about the devil! Don't be sad, okay? If it really doesn't work out, if Arturo doesn't want you anymore, I will take care of you, okay? So please stop crying? Otherwise, I won't tell you about that prince..."
It was both comforting and threatening.
This is the method that Ikaros has practiced over the years to soothe and subdue Luciana's fake crying.
Arturo on the side glanced at Icarus when he saw this, obviously asking whether he should take action himself. Icarus blinked confidently, indicating that he was capable of dealing with Luciana.
Seeing this, Arturo had no choice but to choose to trust his childhood sweetheart. After all, Luciana was his mother after all. Despite what he had just said, Arturo actually couldn't do anything further.
Only Ekaros can do it.
And I have to admit that Ekalos' words really had an immediate effect.
At least from the perspective of W, who was watching the show by reducing his presence because he noticed that the atmosphere was not right, Luciana's expression changed really quickly in Ikaros' arms.
After hearing Ikaros's words of comfort, the original sadness and tears were immediately replaced by an expression of "the plan is complete" and a devilish smile.
W was stunned by what he saw.
It was the first time I knew that the expressions on a person’s face could be so rich and change so quickly.
It feels... strangely interesting.
W thought so in his heart without realizing that he had silently touched the door to a new world.
At the same time, while Ekalos and his group were interacting and playing with each other here.
Not far away, the Sarkaz mercenaries who were responsible for escorting them to the island also used the radios they carried with them to contact the interior of the Tower of Babel.
The huge monster that had been constantly moving slowly stopped its forward steps after receiving the order from the center, and gradually stagnated in the wilderness, waiting for the arrival of guests and its next voyage.
On Rhodes Island, Theresa, who was originally reviewing documents, stopped what she was doing after receiving this notice from the guard beside her. Then she smiled and said slowly to the figure in the shadows behind her:
"It seems our brave lady has arrived with her companions."
"Show us our hospitality, Ascalon. Remember to send someone to protect them. After all, they are the ones who have the courage to come from Lateran to keep their promise..."
"——I am looking forward to meeting that lady."
Having said that, Theresa stood up and walked out of her office, intending to change her clothes and tidy up her appearance at the same time to show her respect and welcome to Ms. Sakta.
At the same time... I can use this lady's identity to lay a small foundation for the future of Kazdel.
Although I don't expect a war correspondent to have any influence, I don't expect Luciana to do anything for Babel.
But since she was the one invited by her and she had the courage to keep the invitation, then Luciana is Theresa's guest.
Besides, Theresa had a premonition.
She felt that Luciana's arrival would definitely bring her unexpected surprises.
Therefore, if we don't welcome the other party well and show hospitality, it would be unacceptable both publicly and privately, wouldn't it?
After receiving the order from Theresa, the Sarkaz guards hiding in the shadows naturally emerged silently from the shadows, bowed their heads respectfully to show their respect and submission, and responded respectfully:
"Your will, Your Highness."
Chapter 151 Wei Yanwu: My Dragon Gate is broken into pieces?
Just when the Sakotas from Lateran were about to be invited to meet the Demon King on a landship called Rhodes Island.
Da Yan, or more accurately Longmen.
Wei Yanwu, the then Governor of Longmen, looked at the information and intelligence collected by Hei Suo's investigation. His hand holding the pipe trembled slightly uncontrollably. It took him a long time to bring the cigarette to his mouth. After taking a deep breath, he fell into deep thought.
He had to think carefully about what extraordinary thing had happened to this small dragon gate of his that could allow two fragments to "visit" at once.
Otherwise, if he couldn't figure it out, he felt that he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
No...it should be said that he would not be able to sleep well until all the fragments left Longmen.
After all, each of these fragments is a big bomb. Not to mention the harmfulness they carry, they will cause a huge disaster once they go out of control.
The attention and gazes brought by their huge political significance and value alone were enough to make Wei Yanwu, who was managing his small piece of land in Longmen outside the court, unable to sleep or eat, and sweating profusely.
There was no way. After all, being afraid that the fragments would cause trouble in Longmen was one thing, but in comparison, Wei Yanwu still felt that the attention from the court and Si Sui Tai was what really scared him.
It would be fine for routine inspections, just give them some small change and it would be fine, but when it comes to these fragments, none of the people from the Simui Tai are easy to fool, and it is easier to invite a god than to send him away. When those guys from the Simui Tai investigate the fragments, they might bring up some things that everyone knows but no one talks about.
If the time comes and some Black Guard training plan or the modernization reform of the Imperial Guard Bureau is brought to the court...
Tsk tsk tsk, that's going to be interesting.
Although Wei Yanwu was confident that his younger brother would not do anything to him, he was also confident that those old guys in the court would most likely not make things difficult for him.
But when things that shouldn't be put on the table are exposed to the light, many things change.
He couldn't possibly put his brother in a difficult position.
Although some unpleasant things happened.
But they are blood relatives after all, brothers whose blood is thicker than water, so Wei Yanwu still needs to consider some things more.
"Huh... Wen Yue, what do you think?" He had an idea and an answer in his mind, but after taking a puff of cigarette and exhaling smoke from the dragon head, Wei Yanwu still looked at the figure who had been with him for many years.
Obviously he wanted to get some advice from his wife.
Wen Yue's answer to this was also very simple and straightforward.
"I think you should be more concerned about Xiao Chen's situation than worrying about the fragments and the things you did secretly but never hid."
"You should know that since what happened that year, Xiao Chen has never smiled at you again, Wei."
Without hesitation, she rolled her eyes at her own old leader. The woman called Wen Yue couldn't help frowning when she saw Wei Yanwu puffing out smoke. She was even more dissatisfied when she smelled the smoke. She said to the governor who held the highest power in Longmen without any concealment,
"Also, you should smoke less in the future. It's bad for your health, especially when you're with Xiao Chen. If you dare to teach Xiao Chen bad things, don't even think about going back to sleep in the future."
There was no mercy in the words, and the tone as if he was teaching a kid a lesson was enough to make most of the superiors feel dissatisfied.
After all, didn’t you see him asking about the fragments coming to Longmen?
Wen Yue answered like this, with an attitude that it was not a big deal and that it was better to worry about daily life and what to eat for dinner. Doesn't it make Wei Yanwu seem like they were making a fuss and being as timid as a mouse?
This is really outrageous. A woman dares to interfere with the right of the Governor of Longmen to smoke a cigarette. Does she really think that Wei Yanwu is a henpecked man? !
"Hmph, Wenyue, let's just talk about this matter..."
With a cold snort, in order to defend his right to smoke, Wei Yanwu looked stern and the expression on the dragon head was serious, intending to show his determination and attitude to his wife.
However, it turns out that whether a man is afraid of his wife or not has nothing to do with the power and status he holds, especially when the two are in love with each other.
"No room for negotiation, or we'll sleep on the sofa. This is what we agreed on long ago. Are you planning to break your promise?"
Wen Yue, who was sorting out documents in the office, glanced at Wei Yanwu out of the corner of her eye and asked suspiciously.
Governor Longmen was so frightened that he felt a chill down his spine. He shook his head and said, "Hey! That's wrong."
"How could I go back on something we had discussed in advance? Wen Yue, you know me well. I was just joking. Let's talk about the fragments first."
Are you kidding me? How dare he interfere in something he and his wife had agreed on (semi-forced)?
Even if he had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to do this.
It’s not that he is so afraid of his wife, it’s just that he simply doesn’t want to be the kind of person who goes back on his word. It has nothing to do with being afraid of being kicked out of the bedroom!
In short, he quickly ended the conversation and changed the subject. He didn't want to be misunderstood by Wen Yue.
How could Wen Yue not see what was in her husband's mind?
But she was too lazy to care. After all, she understood that Wei Yanwu was under a lot of pressure sometimes. So although she seemed to object to Wei Yanwu smoking, in fact, as long as it was not too excessive, Wen Yue would generally not ask.
Therefore, following the steps given by Wei Yanwu, Wen Yue would not make things difficult for her husband, so she also followed Wei Yanwu's words and said:
It's so hot and it's so hot! �
"What are you going to do, Wei? Although I think those fragments won't cause any trouble, and they don't seem to be the type to cause trouble, but what are you going to do about the court?"
Similar to Wei Yanwu, Wen Yue, as a princess of the East Country, is not the best in politics, but her vision and pattern can indeed be called excellent, at least worthy of Wei Yanwu, a relative of the Great Yan royal family.
She and Wei Yanwu were both sure that the biggest trouble would not be the fragments that came to Longmen, but the gazes that came to Longmen along with the fragments and the candlelight holders at Simuitai.
Although Longmen is not afraid of those things, for this young city that is in a stage of vigorous growth, any disturbance is worthy of the couple's caution and vigilance.
The trauma that Kosice brought to Longmen back then is still vividly remembered by Wei Yanwu and Wen Yue.
Wei Yanwu has sacrificed too much for this city.
His sworn brother, his sworn brother's child...
He has lost too much.
Therefore, he could not allow himself to lose this city again, no matter what the cost or what kind of existence he had to deal with.
"...I plan to have some personal contact with the fragments in private, to show some hospitality while testing their intentions in coming to Longmen." After pondering for a moment, Wei Yanwu told his wife about his thoughts. While Wen Yue was thinking, he quietly extinguished the fire on his pipe and hid the pipe back in the secret compartment of the desk.
Although Wen Yue noticed this, she turned a blind eye to it. This was a tacit understanding between the couple. After thinking about it, Wen Yue frowned slightly and said worriedly:
"Is there no danger? If the people of Simaitai find out that you have personally touched the fragments, they will probably report this information to the court. Then, I'm afraid some people will use this as an excuse to attack you, right?"
"Indeed, but isn't it okay as long as we aren't discovered?" Wei Yanwu had already considered Wen Yue's worries, but compared to leaving everything in the unknown and making things dark and confusing, he would rather take a little risk.
At least this way you can gain some initiative and avoid becoming a lamb to be slaughtered.
"...Since you have made up your mind, what else can I say?" Wen Yue looked at Wei Yanwu, who had obviously made up his mind, and chuckled, "I will wait for you to come back. I wish you good luck in martial arts."
"Well, as for Xiao Chen..." Wei Yanwu nodded, but he also thought of his niece, with whom he felt helpless and with whom he had a very complicated relationship.
When it comes to this, I clearly want to say something, but for some reason I can’t.
In the end, there was only a helpless sigh.
