[Slow Travel] Assassin System - Mingguang

The weather in Nordnor has always been known for its rainy weather, but in early spring, this rainy weather will become extremely cold and wet, which is more unbearable than snowy days.

As soon as Miao Xuan got off the train, he couldn't help but sneezed a few times. The puppet disguised as a servant who followed him quickly put on his coat, started from the neckline, and slowly tied it down. Wanted to pick him up.

Miao Xuan couldn't help laughing, he patted its hand: "It's not allowed here."

Over the past few years, Miao Xuan's height has grown a lot, and his physique has entered the category of a teenager. He can no longer be carried around by puppets. A light wheelchair is the first choice, especially in public places.

The puppet could only withdraw its hand aggrievedly, and firmly grasped the back of the wheelchair—if Miao Xuan hadn't refused, it would probably have picked up the wheelchair as well.

The old butler stepped forward quickly: "Your Highness, Your Majesty and Her Royal Highness are already waiting in the reception room."

"His Majesty has declined all requests for an audience, so only members of the royal family will be accepted this time."

Members of the royal family... It seems that there is such a thing, but in fact there are only three members of the royal family today.

The queen's husband died of illness three years ago. This taciturn man did not leave any outstanding achievements. The only things that can be left in the annals of history are his birth, marriage and heirs. Through the heart.

At that time, Miao Xuan specially took his aunt and little cousin to live in Ceylon County, but the little princess was too young to remember this experience clearly.

"Thank you." Miao Xuan nodded to the housekeeper, "Then I'll go over here, and I'll leave all the luggage to you."

Butler: "Yes, please leave it to me."

The female officer sent by the queen was old, and Miao Xuan left her in Ceylon for the elderly, and the butler was responsible for all the trivial matters along the way.

The puppet pushed Miao Xuan down the platform and into the indoor aisle. The thick carpet could drown out the sound of footsteps, but it couldn't swallow up the whistle of the train and the noise of the crowd.

In the past few years, the capital's steam technology has developed rapidly, and the Nordnor Railway Station, which provides services for ordinary people, has also been opened. It stands beside the station dedicated to the royal family. Although the two are not connected, in the railway station dedicated to the royal family, You can also vaguely hear the lively movement from the next door.

Steam technology is going out from a narrow field, gradually entering the lives of ordinary people, and finally completely reconstructing this society.

Miao Xuan walked away briefly for a while, and when he realized he was already standing in front of the reception room, a feeling of cowardly feeling close to home suddenly rose in his heart, and the moment he opened the door moment--

"elder brother!"

The little girl rushed over joyfully, and the moment she was about to touch the wheelchair, she was blocked by the puppet behind Miao Xuan with one hand, and picked it up by the waist.

"Put me down!" Cecilia kicked her legs angrily, "You ugly thing, don't hinder me—brother, look at it!"

Miao Xuan raised his hand and touched his sister's head: "Aina, you've grown a lot taller."

"Of course! My body is healthy!" The little princess hung on the puppet's arm, very proud, "Brother, I have already learned how to ride a horse, Sir Maurice - my riding teacher, said that I am his The most talented student I've ever met!"

The so-called "learning to ride a horse" most likely refers to riding a pony, but Miao Xuan did not expose it, he nodded: "Then, how is Aina's schoolwork?"

Cecilia talked about him from left to right: "Brother, you brought me a gift this time too! What is it?!"

Miao Xuan said amiably: "Of course there are. I have prepared a series of books on encyclopedias and introductory books on steam technology, as well as a series of textbooks on history, geography and navigation, as well as a series of books on music and art appreciation and humanities and social sciences. You will definitely like them! "

Cecilia: "..."

Cecilia, the smile disappeared.

The queen sat dignifiedly behind the coffee table, looking at her children with a smile: "Mona, is the journey going well?"

I haven't seen her in half a year. The Queen doesn't seem to have changed much, but after all, this is the appearance brought about by the combination of costumes and wigs. The Queen's body has been weakened for many times. It is only the pampered living conditions that allow her to maintain Spiritual appearance.

Miao Xuan nodded: "It went very smoothly. Although it was only half a year later, when I was on my return trip, a lot of changes took place in the cities along the way, which is surprising."

Hearing this, the Queen smiled even more happily: "Yes! Last year, the House of Representatives began to promote the popularization of technology. Several viscounts and barons have been conferred..."

Having said that, the queen couldn't help joking: "By the way, aren't the results of Ceylon County also amazing? If Mona is also studying in the college, I will definitely give Mona an extraordinary earl!"

"Forgive me..." Miao Xuan smiled and said helplessly, "These are nothing."

It’s really nothing. After all, this world has just entered the industrial revolution. The infrastructure for transforming energy is based on steam engines. The level of technology is still too rough.

And Miao Xuan himself has wandered through many worlds. He has experienced electric technology, post-technology and even the era of space wandering. His knowledge reserve is beyond the imagination of people in the era of steam technology.

Miao Xuan himself doesn't have much creative talent, what he does is to adapt the knowledge he has learned to the world - in order not to cause too much change, he has to think carefully when using the reserved knowledge.

The queen wanted to say something more, Miao Xuan immediately changed the topic, and began to ask questions about her health. When the topic talked about steam technology, Cecilia finally climbed down from the puppet's arms, and approached Miao in an affectionate and lovely manner. Xuan's hand.

The little girl is still fresh, and Miao Xuan's eldest cousin, whom she hasn't seen in half a year, is of course her favorite, but if the two get along for a long time, she will be unambiguous when it's time to lose her temper—that's quite unreasonable. Vague, it can be called a catastrophe.

Cecilia's temper is in line with her status as an aristocrat. She is alert and intelligent, and she also has a natural arrogance and arrogance that come from the stars. In addition, she has an almost intuitive attitude towards the emotions of others. His keenness is really nothing to fear.

But even so, Miao Xuan still loves this child. So many worlds have come, and there are many children of all kinds. He has gradually transitioned to the mentality of an old father. A good daughter like Yuxi will feel distressed. And a stinky girl like Aina is also cute.

"I know, I know." Aina slipped under Miao Xuan's arm and pulled his sleeve coquettishly, "What are you talking about—are you going to promote steam technology more?!"

Miao Xuan was a little surprised: "Do you also know this?"

Cecilia raised her chin with a determined expression on her face: "Of course, it is precisely because this kind of big change is impossible to contain, so we must take the initiative—we must not be complacent like the Archbishop of Cornwallis, That is the way of a fool!"

Miao Xuan: "..."

Who did you learn this self-importance from?

Miao Xuan looked up at his aunt, and the Queen gave him a helpless wry smile: "You saw it too, Aina... I can hardly teach you anymore!"

The little princess smiled playfully, while Miao Xuan pondered for a moment: "Although I don't know how to teach children, I know that there is a common method, especially in training patience."

Cecilia instinctively felt something was wrong.

The Queen's heart was pounding: "Oh?"

Miao Xuan: "Do more questions, there are still too few homework."

The queen suddenly realized: "Good idea - Lord, why didn't I think of it!"

Cecilia:! ?

finished.

Finally, it's done.

When the ugly doll disguised as a maid left with her homework in her arms, Cecilia felt powerless and leaned weakly on the soft chair, with her head empty, not wanting to do or think about anything.

The maids brought desserts and milk, and everyone was smiling.

"His Royal Highness has become more and more obedient and ladylike recently..."

"Such a lot of homework can be successfully completed, and the accuracy rate is high, worthy of your little highness!"

"It's still His Royal Highness who has a way to kill two birds with one stone."

……

Cecilia drank the hot milk dully and listened dully to the maids' jokes.

"Your Highness, would you like some small round macaroons?" The maids surrounded me tenderly, "This is a new recipe from Iris, and it has a jam filling, very cute."

Although Cecilia was tormented by her homework, she did not forget the fine traditions of the nation. She glanced at the dessert and said, "Iris is here... Could it be that they are revolutionizing again? The nuns are so poor that they need to sell egg whites." The cake survived?"

The head maid continued while pouring tea: "That's not true, those poor nuns have sold out of meringue cakes long ago, this practice was passed down from the iris court - you know, their staple food is always dirty Dirty and sticky, so it had to be topped with a more tender dessert."

So the maids laughed knowingly, and Cecilia tasted the new dessert, and it must be said, it was quite delicious.

Perhaps sweets always have the ability to soothe the heart, and Cecilia felt that she could do it again. She used the excuse of taking a nap to fool the maids skillfully, picked up a plate of colorful biscuits, and slipped out of the bedroom.

The little princess decided to go find her big cousin—it's been a long time since I saw him, and he hasn't been intimate enough yet!

And I heard that there are guests coming today, and my brother wants to go out to play!

There are not many opportunities to leave the palace. The queen locked her little daughter firmly by her side, but how could Cecilia be a child who could sit still?

The Prince of Ceylon does not stay in the capital all year round, but his bedroom is the most "modern" in the entire palace, with a small number of attendants and many automatic machines, and it is always open to the queen and the little princess.

Cecilia bypassed the gates smoothly and followed the corridor to the reception room. Sure enough, she found her eldest cousin and the visitor in this simple hall.

My brother's guest was also a young male, rather tall, with short blonde hair and green eyes, dressed in black. 7K 妏敩

I seem to have seen it somewhere... where?

Cecilia couldn't help but began to compare her brother with this guest. She always thought that her brother was the most handsome of all men. He was knowledgeable and refined, gentle and patient, and had a pleasant voice. The only flaw was his legs. It is the miserliness of the gods, and it is always difficult to see that there are perfect people in this world.

But objectively speaking, this visitor is not bad. Although his voice is hoarse, his figure and face are the most respected templates nowadays, strong and powerful.

Hmm... just barely a little worse than my brother.

Cecilia crouched behind the curtain, eavesdropping on a biscuit.

It was the older brother who was talking—it sounded like he was laughing: "I'm not going to any school, it's inconvenient, and I won't miss out on the latest research if I don't..."

The visitor's voice was much louder: "Your Highness, the school is not just a place to acquire knowledge, but more importantly, the students who attend."

"Of course I understand this..." My brother's voice sounded softly, sounding helpless, "But it's not necessary, Ian, this is not what I want, nor what I should do."

Is this visitor's name Ian?

Cecilia began to recall, but the name was so common that she couldn't recall anyone in particular.

...But don't look at this Ian talking so loudly, once my brother wants to say something, he immediately quiets down. He looks strong, but it is still my brother who dominates.

"Your Highness!" the visitor is still insisting, "There is never anything 'don't do', I know you dote on the little princess, but the king of Niaterbo can only be you!"

Cecilia was startled and stopped chewing the biscuits.

"You actually think so?" Brother laughed lightly, "No, I don't think so, although Aina is young, she has all the qualities necessary for a monarch, but she still needs to be polished——Aina, don't Stand still, come to me."

Cecilia was frightened again, this time she couldn't hide anymore, so she had to lift up her skirt, get out from under the curtain, and ran to her brother in a hurry, "Brother, brother..."

By the way, I still have something to pay tribute to!

Cecilia had a flash of inspiration and picked up the small plate - she had already eaten half of the lovely round cake.

Cecilia: ...

Miao Xuan could tell what the little girl was thinking at a glance, he couldn't laugh or cry, and stroked her head comfortingly: "Shouldn't this be the time to take a nap, why did you come to my place?"

Since the treasure offering failed, Cecilia simply put the plate on the coffee table, with the pride of a little princess: "I heard that my brother has guests here, and I want to come and see."

After all, Cecilia looked at the visitor generously—he was also looking at her with a scrutinizing gaze, but there was no malice, and even a little affection.

Do you think she is lively and cute like most people?Or is it because of the elder brother that he loves the house and the bird?

Cecilia knew that she and her brother were somewhat similar. Her mother once said that their eyes and foreheads were exactly the same, from outline to color.

Miao Xuan didn't see the mutual scrutiny between the two, he said to his sister: "Aina, this is my friend Ian Parcival."

Ian stood up and saluted: "Your Royal Highness."

Cecilia also returned the salute politely: "Nice to meet you."

After the short introduction, Cecilia jumped onto the soft chair brought by the puppet, sat down dignifiedly, and took the tea brought by the puppet: "Brother, you promised me that after I finish all my homework Make one of my wishes come true!"

Miao Xuan nodded: "Of course, Aina's homework accuracy rate is very high, which shows that she is very serious."

Cecilia was praised and laughed happily: "Brother, I want to go out to play, like going to the Nordnore River to take a boat, go to the Grand Theater, and I also want to go to the Sacrament Hall in the capital... That's right! Can I spend next Good Friday in the Sainte-Apelle Nordnor!"

"Clap!"

Cecilia's list was interrupted by an abrupt sound, and she subconsciously looked at the source of the sound—Mr. Visitor had put down the crushed teacup in his hand, and he lowered his eyes with a calm expression.

But Cecilia keenly knew that this was the result of his full restraint. At that moment just now, the emotional fluctuations he erupted made people frightened.

Cecilia swallowed what she didn't say, and she quickly looked at her brother.

Her brother was stunned for a moment, and then smiled softly as if he hadn't noticed the change: "Okay, why not?"

Cecilia immediately felt relieved.
