[Slow Travel] Assassin System - Mingguang

The cold winter is coming to an end, and the early spring is coming to the land of Niaterbo again. The soft green is exposed from the gray snow, which heralds the coming of spring.

In addition to these lovely plants, spring is also abundant in the girl's hazy thoughts.

In the corridor in the garden, the girl leaning on the railing played with the petals in her hand absently, and confided to her companion in a low voice: "I just regarded him as an elder and a teacher, but who would have thought that I would..."

"You know, that scene was like... ah, like those stories, he was smiling at me like the sun was shining on him."

"However, there is a big gap between your ages and identities."

The girl in the red dress at the side interrupted her thought quite calmly, and then continued unceremoniously: "You are only 12 years old, and Mr. Cornwallis is already an adult, and he is likely to dedicate himself to the faith in the future, Caroline, I don't think you stand a chance."

A cavity of love was punctured, Caroline Percival took a few deep breaths, and blamed: "My dear Highness, how can you say that! What if Teacher Zacharias is just a priest? But a priest can Married."

The companion next to Caroline is Cecilia, the only princess in this huge empire. She is one year younger than Caroline, but taller than her. Although she is still young, she has a sense of The imposing manner that people dare not underestimate, even when smiling gently, the high eyebrows and raised chin also carry a hint of pride.

Cecilia: "What about your parents? The Prime Minister and the Countess will definitely not agree."

Not to mention disagreeing, if Mrs. Caitlin knew that Caroline had such "immodest" thoughts, she would be able to confine her daughter to confinement for a month.

Caroline said angrily: "I'm already this old, and I'm not a little girl who doesn't understand anything. I won't let them dominate my whole life. Besides, didn't I have a big brother before me, and my brother was never married— ——At that time, he didn't listen to his father's words, and just left, at worst, I will follow him."

"Learning from him" here does not mean running away from home, but resisting the arrangement of parents within the scope of paying the price.

Caroline thought quite clearly, she was not willing to give up her origin and status.

Cecilia couldn't help laughing: "Let's not mention that your brother is going to join the army with honor, and regardless of your gender and age differences, I just want to know... Caroline, was your confession successful? "

Caroline: "..."

Caroline: "I dare not go."

Cecilia: "Huh."

The two girls exchanged knowing glances, and then Caroline lowered her head: "I know my confession will definitely not be accepted, but, but, I dreamed of him, except for him, I I will never fall in love with anyone else in my life..."

Cecilia sighed in distress.

She likes Caroline, a friend who is sensible, but she just can't figure it out—why Caroline, who has always been sensible, has expectations for this so-called "love"?

It is true that Mr. Cornwallis was a handsome and handsome man, but he had neither great exploits nor heroic deeds. He was only a pious priest, a good teacher, or a good teacher. Physician...

Cecilia: ...

That looks good too.

But how should I put it, Cecilia has seen this theology teacher get along with her brother a few times, and it looks like she can be directly inspired by the Lord by putting on a layer of holy light, no, sometimes even the holy light is not need.

This kind of person will definitely dedicate his life to religion, not only that, he will most likely be a future archbishop.

And everything needs to be compared. Mr. Cornwallis is much better than ordinary men, but if he is placed with her brother, the little princess will of course choose his cousin without hesitation.

Cecilia: "Okay, Caroline, if you really can't let go, I'll accompany you to confess—you don't have to worry about this matter being leaked."

Caroline was shocked, and then shy: "Is it really okay!? You don't think this is unreserved and unseemly..."

Cecilia smiled: "What's the matter, whether he accepts or refuses, it's better than you are hesitating now."

And she didn't care much about what Mrs. Cornwallis would think, anyway, he would definitely choose to refuse, which would allow Caroline to withdraw Qi Nian as soon as possible and end the fruitless relationship.

Caroline was silent for a moment, and then smiled: "No—it's impossible anyway, and there's no need to bother him, Your Highness, no matter what, thank you."

This answer is reasonable, Cecilia nodded: "You're welcome."

"Speaking of which, sometimes I really wish I was a boy." Caroline let go, and the bouquet in her hand scattered into the flower bed, "Being able to go to the battlefield and travel alone... When I was young, I really envied my brother , I even feel a little jealous and hate his freedom."

Cecilia immediately broke the stage: "Who was hiding and crying every day during those two years ago?"

Caroline blushed: "...So, is that also worrying! After all, the war broke out, and it was the first time for my brother to go to war. My mother is already worried enough. I can't cry at home."

"This kind of mood is inevitable, but everything is continuing in a good direction. We have won, and Mr. Percival has also won honor and attack." Cecilia smiled, "Besides, the army has not been recalled now. Well, look, you are about to meet your elder brother who has been away for two years—I heard that your elder brother has made quite a lot of military exploits."

Caroline couldn't help but smile subtly: "The winner is merciful, my brother has won several small victories, this time he is eligible to receive the Order of the Anemone conferred by His Majesty... But I haven't seen my brother for a long time, alas, I forgot what he looks like."

No matter what he looks like, he will never be more handsome than my elder brother. As for the military exploits...

My elder brother controls Dawn Pigeon, Nord Noor, and the entire Ceylon County. There is no comparison for a small officer.

Cecilia was so convinced that she stood up straight, carefully adjusted the hem of the skirt, and raised her chin: "Caroline, there is a riding lesson this afternoon, we should go change clothes."

"You are talking about it." Caroline nodded, she also wiped her hands, smoothed the folds of the skirt carefully, then took the little princess's arm, and boasted very emotionally, "I heard that His Royal Highness sent you Here comes a batch of beautiful foals from the north, each batch is as flawless as snow, I really can't wait to see them, Your Highness, can I have this honor?"

Cecilia praised her wit, and smiled proudly: "Of course."

*

Two years will not only allow the little girl to fall in love, but also make a young man who has reached the age of 19 fall into the same predicament again.

Miao Xuan huddled in the cushion, waiting for Ai Ai: "I...I don't want to get married."

The queen sat across from Miao Xuan, holding a teacup gracefully, and smiling: "Mona, what did you say, say it again?"

Miao Xuan: "I, I..."

"clatter."

With a crisp sound, the queen put the teacup on the table, and smiled more kindly: "Dear Mona, take a look at this painting first—please, take a look, these are lovely, girls."

A long and low table is placed between the two seats. On the dark table, a colorful painting is properly unfolded. In the painting is a lively banquet dance floor. The unmarried noble ladies are skillfully drawn in it.

This is not a very artistic painting, without focus and theme, and the painting is not realistic, but it captures the charm of each lady very skillfully, and it can be said to have enough functionality.

Miao Xuan: "..."

"What lovely girls, they are looking forward to love and their other half." The queen sighed, and then pointed out, "I think, as long as you can get happiness, birth is not an inevitable condition for marriage.

Miao Xuan: ...

It's started, it's started, the marriage urging that is bound to happen once in a world has started again, especially when the modeling status is extraordinary, this blind date will only become more terrifying.

For example, Bai Xuan in the previous world, although his identity was only a bastard in the collateral line, once he became an adult, almost everyone began to send him concubines, even his biological mother.

As for marriage, it is naturally more complicated. What kind of wife and concubine... Miao Xuan was so frightened at the time, and immediately came out in a high-profile manner in the ancestral hall, wishing he could swear to the sky that he would not marry a wife—and then was The family rules were cleaned up, and there was a lot of fuss, but nothing changed in the end, except that all the beauties who were sent to the mansion in the end changed their genders, and a lot of male members were added to the training class for the introductory cultivation of immortals.

After all, sexual orientation is not a big deal. He protested a hundred times and it will not change the essence. Marriage and blind date are still going on. Rich women don’t care about the sexual orientation of their future husbands, as long as they can raise children together—or they don’t have anything option.

The real decisive factor is cultivation and strength.

And then what...

It is Bai Shu's heartfelt words, "It's okay to be playful, don't delay your practice", and "You can tell your brother what you want, don't be so naughty again".

Thinking of this, Miao Xuan began to feel a stomach ache instinctively.

However, compared with the family marriage in the last world, this world is a little different. After all, he is just a laid-off prince now, and he has long been out of the throne, so whether to marry a wife is not so important, not to mention that the modeling this time has two legs. Disabled, so there is no pressure to start a family.

However, the queen was very insistent.

She firmly believes that her nephew should enjoy all the happiness that mortals can have, including a harmonious couple and a complete family.

Miao Xuan looked at his aunt who was sitting opposite him, her smile was full of longing and anticipation, and her brows were full of kindness and kindness, but Shuangxue also climbed up her temples, and wrinkles spread all over her eyes...

Aging is unstoppable, it appears quietly and grows irrepressibly.

No matter which world he has been to, Miao Xuan has always left the scene in his prime. He has never personally experienced aging. He only guesses that the feeling is similar to erosion, which will have a huge impact on the individual's psychology and physiology.

The queen's life span is not many years left.

Miao Xuan couldn't help sighing in his heart, it was impossible for him to openly come out in front of the Queen - in this world where religion prevails, love between the same sex is not considered to exist, and liking for the same sex would be considered a sickness and a sin, not to mention The Queen is still a devout Christian.

In order to properly cope with the current situation, find a partner who is good enough for the Queen to consider as a match...

What if a wife was "created"?

This idea was a flash, but the more Miao Xuan thought about it, the more feasible it became.

He knows his aunt well, he can create a gentle and lovely female image for the puppet, and then direct and perform the effect that best suits his aunt's imagination.

He can also create an identity for this "wife", it doesn't need to be too high, it can be a small nobleman or a commoner, this is easy for him who controls the dawn pigeon.

Not only that, he could even marry this nonexistent wife...

Miao Xuan quietly exchanged thoughts with the system, the little system was greatly shocked, and then shed bitter tears together with his brother Miao.

I'm finally getting to this point, I'm pinching my wife for myself.

"I think older girls are mature and gentle, but younger girls are more lively and charming." The Queen was still probing. She looked at the paintings on the table expectantly, and looked up at her talented nephew from time to time, " Look at the girl in the green dress playing the piano, she looks pure and pure; the girl in the red dress on the dance floor is really cute, but she looks a bit young; and the girl sitting by the window Miss Ziyi, she is as beautiful as moonlight...Mona, what do you think?"

Miao Xuan: ...

Miao Xuan took a deep breath, and was planning to temporarily stabilize the queen, and then pinched a cute village girl for her. At this critical moment, the attendant reported: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, the doctor from the Holy See who is doing a routine examination for His Highness is here. .”

Miao Xuanru heard the amnesty: "Auntie, I'll go first."

"Today is... ah, the middle of the month is already here." The queen was startled, and then nodded with a smile, "Go quickly, the inspection is important."

*

When Miao Xuan returned to the bedroom, the doctor had been waiting for him here.

"Your Highness, did I bother you?" The doctor showed a worried expression, "This time is much later than the past few months, maybe you haven't received my letter—"

Miao Xuan waved his hand and asked the puppet to carry him to the special soft chair: "No, Sakya, you came at the right time——Auntie almost arranged a blind date for me."

The doctor was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help laughing: "Your Highness, this is a good thing."

"What a good thing..." Miao Xuan didn't hide his distress, and directly confessed to his little friend, "I don't want to get married at all."

In the past two years, Zechariah has become the one who has changed the most among several people. His height has grown rapidly, and his figure has also improved due to a good diet and sufficient training. Get stronger.

It stands to reason that Zacharias is one year younger than Miao Xuan, and he was suspected or gendered when he was a teenager because of his delicate face and thin figure, but now he is tall and straight, far exceeding the average level of his age group.

However, Zechariah's temper is still quite mild. The young priest inherited the mercy of his adoptive father, but abandoned the old-fashioned, it can be said that he discarded the chaff and kept the chaff. There was always a gentle smile on his face, and Miao Xuan was almost I've never seen him lose his temper. 7K 妏敩

In addition, his accumulation of knowledge has also been rewarded. The little priest who used to be a part-time teaching assistant has been promoted to a teacher who can teach alone.

In terms of medical skills, this young man who has obtained the "light" can also undertake more complicated diagnosis and treatment. Although he can't cure the disability, there is no problem with the routine examination.

In addition to his job, he takes one day a week to preside over free clinics.

Miao Xuan thought, this is probably the shining of the Holy Light.

"Finding a like-minded soulmate to spend your life with is a gift from the Lord to everyone." Zacharias sat down opposite Miao Xuan, did not talk about this topic, but said directly, "Your Highness, then I here we go."

"Okay." Miao Xuan cooperated with the inspection and changed the subject at the same time, "Is this delay due to the free clinic?"

Zechariah untied the cumbersome clothes: "Yes, Denal in the northwest suffered from a famine. In response to the Queen's relief order, many refugees were moved inward, because they gathered in Hatba, so this time the church The free clinic also needs to leave Nordnor, but the situation is a bit complicated, and the deadline for my return was delayed...it took three days longer than I expected."

Just looking at the terrain, the country of Niaterbo is composed of three major islands. Among them, Denal is the most northwest land. It has been a large agricultural island since ancient times. The main crop is potatoes. Last year, potatoes The virus was prevalent, which directly led to a large-scale famine disaster*.

Immediately after the Queen's relief order was issued, some of the fugitive refugees were relocated inland and settled in Hartba around Nordnor.

Feedback on these events was included in the routine reports of the carrier pigeons, which had long been sent to the tables of Miao Xuan and the queen.

Miao Xuan nodded: "So that's the case, but I remember...Hateba's current situation is still peaceful?"

"Yes, although ordinary people still have barriers to refugees, they have still completed their acceptance." Zechariah gently held his calf in his hand, "Next week, the church's free clinic will still be scheduled in Hartba...May the Lord bless you, The disaster will pass as soon as possible.”

"No wonder Aina said that the recent theology class is about to become a reading class." Miao Xuan said with a smile, "Your teaching assistant doesn't seem to be very good at interpreting classics, he is better at guiding students to read aloud."

Zacharias was a little helpless: "Thomas is not good at words, but when he is an assistant, he is the most responsible."

In other words, this person is not lecturer material.

Miao Xuan understood: "Then when will you come back, is it inconvenient to ask for leave all the time?"

Zechariah did not answer directly, he lowered his eyes and said: "Your Highness, I am planning to resign, and the priest who will replace me has already been selected."

Miao Xuan was taken aback: "Are you going to return to the Holy See?"

"Yes, I think I can no longer juggle multiple jobs, and of course it is more responsible to make trade-offs than to deal with them sloppily, and..."

Zechariah smiled helplessly: "Your Highness, I am no longer suitable to be an academy teacher."

As soon as this Miao Xuan was mentioned, I also got a headache. There are many young and proud girls among Aina's classmates, and Zacharias has an impeccable character and appearance. Whether it is unrequited love or pursuit, it will bring huge benefits to both parties. Trouble, especially since Zechariah had already decided to devote himself to religion.

Miao Xuan didn't know about Ian's sister yet, but the little princess had gently reminded him of the girls' preferences.

And, maybe it's not just girls...

The atmosphere in this world is also very interesting. The society despises same-sex love, but people are keen on obscenity, playfulness, and intimacy in private. Among them, the rich and powerful class is the most, and it is repeatedly banned, resulting in a vicious circle.

Miao Xuan sighed: "This is not bad, the composition of the Royal Academy is getting more and more complicated, and it is no longer suitable for part-time jobs... Sakya, you have worked hard for the past two years."

Zechariah laughed, "Your Highness, this is nothing."

*

As the weather gets warmer, Nordnoll becomes more and more lively. The birds in the sky are more diligent, and the market and public places are getting more crowded. Even the roads outside the capital are full of pedestrians and vehicles.

The train rumbled on the rails, the black smoke was like the breath of a giant beast, and the ground trembled as it walked.

On a private carriage, a carriage driver hired halfway shouted to the employer in the carriage: "Master, if we go any further, we will enter the city."

A man's low cough came from the carriage: "Great, we are finally arriving at Nordnore...the changes here are really great."

The coachman nodded, and then said flirtatiously: "Yes, our capital has changed too much in the past five years. Things that fly in the sky and things that run on the ground are all new things. Since you have come to the capital, sir, you have to try them all. That's right, I heard that the 'train' is extremely comfortable to sit on, it's scary, something that runs so fast can also make people comfortable!"

His employer is a doctor from a small place, and it is said that he once went to university in Nordnor. A pair of glasses, this is something that only the nobles and scholars have!

It's a pity that the doctor has a disabled hand, which he said was the sequelae of an injury he suffered while joining the army.

A man who has gone to sea and served in the army is always to be admired, but a doctor who can only use one hand is just the opposite. If the master of the employer wants to make a name for himself in Nordnore... it will not be easy .

The coachman sighed.

As vehicles entered the city, the roads became more and more prosperous, and the flow of people became more and more dense. People of all kinds mixed together, citizens, housewives, servants, patrolmen, workers, pickpockets...

Unfortunately, the coachman was not an experienced and well-informed employee. The section of road he chose was very crowded, and the carriage and people were blocked together on the dirty road, like a group of ants crowding snails.

The coachman became more and more anxious, and he could only try to explain to his employer again: "Master Seafriff, those who entered the city today are not very lucky. Our army has returned. They should have entered through the western gate. Now Nord Noel is crowded everywhere, please—"

"In that case, let's wait." The employer's voice came out quite gently: "I'm not in a hurry... maybe I can still witness this grand event with my own eyes."

The coachman breathed a sigh of relief, thankful for his employer's good temper, which was completely different from his appearance, and thought that his reward money would probably not be lost.

The crowd flowed past the carriage, while the generous customer leaned against the window inside the carriage. He looked at the hurrying people outside the window with great interest, and there were white birds flying across the gray sky, causing hoarseness. cry.

The crowd in the distance suddenly burst into cheers. It turned out that an airship appeared in the sky at some time. It had smooth lines and arcs, and the airbag was sprayed with the same color as the national flag. the royal banner.

On the distant streets behind the piles of buildings, the officers and soldiers carrying the glory are neatly returning to the capital to enjoy the rewards they deserve.

The coachman said something excitedly, but his employer didn't give him any reply. He looked at the airship in the sky through the window, rose petals were spilled from it, scattered in the gray sky, scarlet dull.

【Aina, our army is about to triumph, and as the Crown Prince, what should you do? ] The gentle voice of the young man once guided him so earnestly in his ears.

So the immature girl proudly announced: [I want my rose griffin, to celebrate for the winner! 】

And they did.

Rose Gryphon, Niaterbo's first flying creation, is a mechanical vehicle to celebrate the birth of Her Royal Highness, and it represents the will of the princess.

The eagle looked at the shadows in the sky and smiled.
