The princesses all come to help me move the bricks [Infrastructure]

99.

Anna was silent for a long time, and she finally realized that under the strange influence of the □ cat boy, it was impossible for her reputation to return to its original innocence.

She protested with soundless silence, but it was of no avail.

Obviously, with its pure and outstanding appearance, Kitty Boy has received wide acclaim.

The women all have a crush on him, but the cat boy himself is still wholeheartedly attached to Anna——

Of course, this did not make her feel very honored.

Although being dependent can indeed make people feel that I am very powerful and extraordinary, but in the final analysis, Anna is a social fear who is not enlightened, and she will not have any special feelings about it.

Maybe at the beginning, there was a little inexplicable excitement, but the troubles that followed soon did not make her feel so happy.

To a large extent, Cat Boy will only bring her more details to deal with, not to mention that she is more willing to talk to a human being with a basic mind and three views, rather than a blank piece of paper waiting to be educated. Cat boy to carry on the conversation.

On top of that, Ana didn't feel that she could afford to raise a human being.

It takes ten years to grow a tree, and a hundred years to grow a person, not to mention a cat boy who may have a different standpoint from humans naturally, and the other party does not seem to be similar to ordinary orcs.

There is a connection with Anna itself, but this is not a game that can be generated with one click and instill ideas and education at will. Thinking of these, Anna feels her head is getting bigger.

"Anna!"

As if aware of her obvious distraction, the cat boy yelled even louder.

"what?"

Anna turned to look at him, the boy refused to dress properly, and kept leaning on her body, it seemed that the heavy clothes made him feel uncomfortable, at first he was willing to wear shirts and the like, but each piece of aristocratic style He is not happy with the addition of it.

"Hey, the temperature on the boat is low..." Anna coaxed, and seeing that he was really hot, she discussed with the maid, "Why don't you just put on a coat, and add more if it's cold."

The cat boy is not a human being, so it seems that there is nothing wrong with being naked. Anna guesses that his physique may be different from that of ordinary people, but now there is no special detection method, and there is no such thing as CT. Anna is not at ease. People probe, the system can't find out.

"You guys go out first, we'll come out for dinner when it's time."

The maids retreated politely, and Anna started a series of conversations called cross-examinations with the cat boy, which were actually wrong.

"Do you have a name?" Anna asked him, "My name?"

"Name?" The cat boy tilted his head.

"Xiaobai? Little cat?"

"Do not."

He thought for a while and denied it. Anna paused and realized a breakthrough, but unfortunately the other party didn't express more, and he hesitated and couldn't say more.

"Do you want me to pick it up for you?" Anna became excited.

The boy stared at her with those emerald eyes, looking at her like a kitten.

Anna really picked up some names casually, but he didn't see any positive reactions to these common male names, and it seemed that he was insensitive to them.

It seems that the teenager has some feelings about the name, like a cat, he will respond to whatever she calls him, as long as he hears it, but he does not have any sense of identification with a specific name, which is also very obviously.

It's like if everyone calls him "Little White" or "Little Cat", he will agree, but when asked what his name is, he will never answer "Little White" or "Little Cat", which is similar to approving a harmless nickname and It does not affect him or his own cognition.

Anna felt a headache again, she had been stuck with a name for so long, the kitten clearly had its own name, but he didn't recognize names other than the one he had forgotten, it was unexpectedly stubborn.

"I retract my foreword," Anna said.

"You are much more difficult than my kitty."

The young man tilted his head and showed a smile, pure and flawless, and he knew that he didn't understand her words.

But his perception of emotions is amazing, although he didn't understand the reason, but after she felt headache and speechless, he immediately held her hand.

His side face was pressed against her palm, and he rubbed it obediently. If he was not a teenager but a cat now, it would probably be very pleasant.

But for Anna, suddenly being stuck by a cute boy with a strange and obedient attitude, she just felt like getting an electric shock, a strange feeling rose in her heart and she was a little at a loss.

"You can't do this." Anna sighed.

"You are alone."

The kitten was against her palm, with an innocent face.

Anna sighed silently in her heart.

"Anna."

"Anna."

"Anna."

He called her one after another, and Anna couldn't say anything when she met those emerald eyes that were clean enough to reflect her figure.

"But you can't do without a name. You are a human, not my pet cat."

The word cat seemed to trigger something, the boy blinked his eyes.

At that moment, I didn't know how to react, it was like lightning flashing across my mind, like a flash of lightning suddenly lighting up in the darkness, unstoppable, Anna blurted out a name.

"The Iliad."

Anna and the boy froze for a moment at the same time. Anna was shocked by her sudden excitement, and the face of the cat boy also had a momentary change. His brow moved very briefly, as if he wanted to frown, but he didn't do it yet. After this action, he couldn't find the reason for his frown, so he quickly stretched his brow again.

"Is that your name?"

Anna didn't know why she suddenly thought of this name. This name seemed to have something to do with the boy, but it didn't seem the same. She couldn't remember who had this name and why it was so familiar.

"Iliad?" Anna called again, and the boy frowned a little bit. During the process, she suddenly remembered the reason why she knew the name.

It was the noble boy.

When Anna came to this world, it was the first time she visited the royal city, the first time she met a strange aristocratic boy, and the first person she met with the charm of a male god.

Although we couldn't exchange names when we first met, but then coincidentally at the court ball, the other party appeared as an unknown nobleman and danced with her wearing a mask. Afterwards, they exchanged names, and the other party said, His name was "Iliad".

"No!" I don't know what these names triggered, this young man who looked like a blank sheet of paper after losing his memory frowned and raised his head, telling Anna seriously with an inexplicable stubbornness.

"no!"

"My name, no!"

"I don't like that name!"

Such a big reaction from the cat boy was completely unexpected to Anna.

He has never shown any obvious likes and dislikes. What he must say is probably that he likes Anna. Besides, although he looks smiling, it's just a smile, and he doesn't feel it in his heart.

But this time, from his frowning, clenched fists, stubborn posture, and his repeated, quiet but persistent voice, it was obvious that he really didn't like the name so much.

"You don't like the name?" Anna began to feel curious and confused.

"What's wrong with the name? Does the Iliad have any bad connotations?"

"No." The young man pursed his lips, but he hesitated, and he also realized that he couldn't say anything. He just didn't like this name very intuitively.

Anna kept this matter in mind. She didn't know much about the culture of this world, and she didn't know whether the name Iliad really had any ominous meaning.

But according to her experience in this world, there seems to be nothing wrong with this English name... Let's inquire about it next time I have time.

"Then what's the matter..." Anna tentatively opened the mouth. The young man seemed to have finally decided on something. She didn't know if he extracted something from the various names she proposed before, but anyway, he finally gave him a name.

"Tal."

"Is this your name?" Anna was surprised, and then saw the boy nodded.

"Call me Tal..."

"You're not sure if that's your name?" Anna asked.

"But you can accept the name?"

"Yes." The young man thought for a while and nodded.

"Okay." Anna smiled and held out her hand to him, "Tal, hello, I'm Anastasia."

The newly named Tal boy held her hand tentatively with a smile, then showed a smile, and expressed it straight, with a bright smile.

"I like Anna."

"Haha." Anna answered tentatively with a dry smile.

"I like myself too."

Fortunately, Tal had no awareness of other aspects, so he quickly uncovered this matter.

In the follow-up, it was the female officer who helped her get over this matter. She contacted and found the relevant personnel very smartly, and arranged for Tal to be an ordinary post-noble status. Currently, she has an ambiguous relationship with Grand Duke Anna. Shang is a lover, but due to reputation considerations, he will not directly disclose it.

Regarding this, even if Anna had any opinions, she didn't dare to say anything more.

After all, she couldn't really say that he was her "pet"!Even if it is true.

During the day, Anna learned about the relevant follow-up.

The female officer investigated Weixi's side, and the voyage did not exceed expectations. Although it seemed that Weixi had some small thoughts, which were generally related to future business affairs, other things were actually not related to the Kingdom of Lore. Enemy, I didn't mean to joke about this journey.

The crew on this ship, etc., did not have obvious problems.

Judging from the data, the captains and deputy captains have no doubts about the vacancies of their resumes, etc., and they have no problems with their strengths. Weixi has also done background checks on all the personnel on board. In this regard, lol The kingdom has also made some preparations, and overall there is no problem.

"No." Anna thought for a while, then tapped her finger on the table, "Go and check the deputy, the one with the big brown beard, there is something wrong with his identity."

Anna had identified him, but she couldn't directly say who the other party was, and there was a possible sexual background.

"Also, we are accompanied by priests on board, right?"

"Yes, there are personnel related to the Temple of Light, including a vice-bishop, all of whom are of good strength."

"Hmm..." Anna thought for a while, "It's better not to touch them yet, the identity of that person may be questionable, but don't attract large-scale attention, investigate carefully, and do more follow-up observations on that bearded man behind his back."

The bearded man secretly brought the stone or the object of belief of the dark organization, and he didn't know how to hide it, but considering the large luggage on the ship, there may be negligence.

But finding the problematic items from the guests and the boatman is a completely different matter. In short, now that the accident has happened, it is the luckiest thing to be able to get rid of the follow-up problems.

"Hey..." Thinking of this, Anna couldn't help but sighed.

"Anyway, safety comes first, don't startle the snake."

"Yes."

The female officer looked serious, probably aware of something.

She didn't have any doubts about Anna's strength, she could investigate whatever she heard, and she could maintain a very serious attitude without doubts, which showed the professionalism of this female officer.

In the afternoon, after some more detailed preparations, the project activities went to fishing activities organized by Prince Weixi.

Anna and a group of nobles who will not participate in it and are just onlookers are on the open upper deck together.

There is a special viewing platform and a platform for watching fishing. The best position is naturally for Anna. Beside her is her good friend Emma, ​​surrounded by some little nobles and servants.

The weather is good today and the sun is out. Considering that the fishing activity will last for several hours, it is definitely not possible to wait here, so tables, umbrellas, etc. have been set up on the platform side, and everyone will be seated one after another when the activity starts. Serve tea and things.

The more distinguished ones have the best view outside. Others may only be able to watch the event from the window in the indoor area, and some can get off the seat directly to the front to watch, but no one should be rude enough to block Anna and others in front of.

Prince Vesey followed very experienced boatmen, sailors, and fishermen to a relatively low-level position. What he had to do was to cast nets three to five times with the assistance of his servants, and then take them back. Then he needed to count his catches in public. Some of the harvest in the fishnet will be cooked and sent to the noble gentlemen and ladies upstairs to show the prince's generosity and kindness to everyone, and the rest will be stored.

In addition, there are special clerks on the side to record, and there are many helpers from the trade union to help with the counting.

As I said before, if the prince's net fishing level is not good, or if the harvest is not good today, then the prince's harvest will be counted together with the harvest of other elite fishermen who cast nets at the same time, otherwise If you still can't see the past and the income is not met, then you may use some prepared "inventory" or use some ice cubes to recharge when weighing, etc.

After supplementary studies, Anna's eyes were wide open. In short, Prince Weixi would not embarrass him in public on such an important coming-of-age event.

In terms of its nature, it is similar to the heir princes who travel to various countries, but because of their poor level, they cannot have any outstanding "political achievements" and adventurer resumes. Then he will travel to a few more big countries and do some diplomacy with such neighborly and friendly countries. It is also possible to ask them to sign a stamp to express the journey.

In short, after so many years, although there are many rules, many of them have been abandoned or relaxed. Besides, there are many loopholes that people can take advantage of, and the operation is not as difficult as imagined.

"What are you thinking?" Emma asked her, and Anna smiled and shook her head.

Anna's big table can seat a total of eight people, and two of them are vacant. Naturally, they are for Prince Weixi and his noble knight captain and friend. After these two are gone, the rest are mostly idle. Things do, like Anna.

Anna brought her good friend Emma to participate in this event. Of course, she would not bring Tal out at this time, but fortunately, no one looked in front of her to discuss it.

The other four places were given to Mr. Monroe and the second son of the princess, Lance Monroe, and the remaining three places were given to princesses or nobles from other countries. Among them was Antonio, who was said to be a certainty. ·Prince Weixi's fiancee princess of a neighboring country.

Lance Monroe is only 15 years old this year. He looks very lively and is a good player to activate the atmosphere on the court. Emma and other noble ladies are all good people. I will answer some of Emma's words, and I will respond to others who are interested.

Everyone can see that she is not that interested in socializing, but as long as she is not deliberately cold or annoying, everyone can basically maintain a calm face and will not embarrass Anna to express anything.

More than half an hour passed, and the nonsense that should be boasted has almost been said.

Under the hint of the female officer's hidden eyes, Anna offered to play cards and play some small games together. With her in the lead, all the people at the table started to play.

It's better to play games than to talk. The main reason is that the table is big, and there are six or seven people seated no matter what. The seats are arranged by Weixi, and there are naturally some familiar and unfamiliar people.

It’s normal that the scene can’t be opened at the beginning, but it’s not bad to gamble with a little money or simply drink tea, eat cake, or play games. Anyway, the communication between each other gradually rises, and the situation will naturally not be too embarrassing and sullen .

"The first online is here."

Hearing a girl at the next table talking excitedly, Anna was originally playing a game similar to "Monopoly" with Emma, ​​Lance, and the fiancee princess, so she also averted her eyes.

The female officer gestured to her again with her eyes, and Anna adjusted her clothes to make sure that there was no problem. She stood up first, and the maid next to her opened an umbrella for her, and walked to the front on her own initiative.

Emma also followed up very shrewdly, a little behind. The fiancée princess was named Lena. Although the seat was at the back, she quickly walked to the front, and she was slightly behind Anna, but in front of Emma.

It's much better if someone takes the show.

Anna silently breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but there was an appropriate and kind smile on her face.

"I don't know how Prince Weixi's harvest will be. I think a prince as capable as he is will be very good." Anna seemed to be looking forward to it, and looked down at the harvest they collected and counted from the platform above.

"Of course, Antonio has always been the best." Perhaps because she had made up her mind, Lena was not as cold as before, and when she mentioned Prince Weixi, her face flushed a little more. She looked like a beauty in love. girl.

Anna didn't know whether Prince Weixi was serious or not, but based on how Prince Weixi collected the net with the help of others, Anna reckoned that the harvest of the first net should not be small.

But she can't be sure, after all, today is a festive day, everyone basically "plays with" for the prince, so no one will say anything bad, even if the harvest is not good, Anna believes that everyone can Say black is white.

Anna couldn't intuitively judge the harvest from the faces of the people, and she didn't know how much hard work they showed when they dragged the net. It looked like they worked very hard, but because they had been educated, she couldn't be sure. .

"do not know……"

"Oops!" The girl next to her yelled. Prince Weixi almost dropped the net just now and interrupted Anna's words.

"What?" Emma looked at her with a smile.

"I don't know what kind of excellent seafood we can eat." Anna naturally didn't mind, although she saw Lena's face was not very good-looking from the corner of the eye, and she naturally didn't like other women's coveting of her fiancé, but Anna and Ai Ma is just chatting and has no stake.

"It won't be bad." Emma reassured her.

"It's natural." Anna knew this too.

There are eight places in total, and they basically cast the net at about the same time as Prince Weixi, so according to the situation, Anna's expression was a little subtle.

Her eyesight is better than that of ordinary people, and she has various skills attached to it. I don’t know if it’s her illusion. She always feels that the whole thing doesn’t seem to be very good, although everyone looks very excited and feels that she has earned a lot. good stuff.

What puzzled her most was that she seemed to find——

The gains from Prince Weixi's net seemed to be the most "unworthy" of the others.

At the beginning, everyone really thought that Prince Weixi's team had worked so hard to get a lot of good goods, but after discovering that there was a rotten wooden box in the harvest, everyone's expressions were a little subtle.

The box basically accounts for the bulk of the weight, but this broken box is almost rotten and has no value. It is similar to an ordinary box made of iron and wood thrown from a large fishing boat, and the inside is also empty. .

In addition, there are also some medium-sized sea fish in this net bag, and some seaweed-like things.

"Oh, the first one came out of the things on our land... It can be seen that the prince is the chosen one of our people."

"Yes, it's the people's choice, Haiyang gave this back to the prince..."

"Yes, yes, speaking of it, when the prince ran a horse, he was always number one."

"That's right, that's right, I still remember the last royal event, the prince hunted..."

"That's natural, the prince's teacher is... fishing is naturally not bad..."

Anna heard that after seeing the things, everyone changed their minds. They didn't raise their original expectations. They were all compliments on other aspects of the prince. Those who were more clever could turn things around a little bit this time.

Emma and Reina were not surprised either, they boasted to each other in a very sophisticated manner, Anna suspected that everyone had secretly made up lessons——

It is the kind of "copying homework" like this if the harvest is not good, what should be said.

Anna didn't perform that well on the spot. If she were Prince Antonio Vesi, she would spend so much effort to go out to sea under the watchful eyes of everyone, and she would be able to pick out a Disney on the spot. Paradise out.

But the prince's expression didn't change at all. From the time the worthless wooden box surfaced to the last time he counted with the other seven-net bag harvesters, there was no abnormality at all, but he was able to show a Smiling, it seemed that he was looking forward to the harvest later, as if he really just came down to play, and the words "he wants to compete with the fishermen" and "he wants to take the first place" were not what he said before.

"Just this psychological quality, absolutely."

Anna was filled with emotion in her heart, but she still nodded from time to time in line with everyone's words, showing an approving "You're right" look in her eyes. In fact, she didn't know what she echoed.

"There are still four nets. Today's harvest will not be bad."

Reina still looks so confident. Although she was worried about her fiancé at first, she soon looked like the perfect princess.

In this way, they continued to play cards and games, while watching from time to time the prince leading people to catch fish.

As time went by, the atmosphere above became better and better. Everyone seemed to be familiar with it a lot, and they were no longer as restrained as they were at the beginning. When the drinks were served, some people changed tables to play with each other, and some children came to the front Yes, but they are all followed by nervous servants.

Anna and Emma looked at each other, and the two excused themselves to relax and chat aside, while the others were still communicating at the table.

"What net bag is this?"

Anna asked.

"It's the fourth net."

Emma is more attentive than she is, mainly because she has already practiced the skill of eight consecutive and exquisite in such social situations.

"Prince Weixi's luck doesn't look very good."

"Yes." Emma couldn't deny this.

"It's almost like offending the Sea God."

"How can there be a sea god? We all believe in the God of Light." Emma glanced at her and reminded.

"Oh, I know." Anna smiled.

Minor beliefs, as a human race, they naturally believe in the God of Light as the mainstream.

Even the Kingdom of Weixi couldn't publicly express their belief in the Sea God, unless it was a small island country that didn't have any historical heritage and didn't want it.

"Speaking of which, their harvests are actually not very good." Emma said, "I asked specifically before, generally speaking, it is normal to be able to harvest hundreds of kilograms in such relatively good fishing spots. "

"Yeah, that's what I heard too, but today... eight groups are going on at the same time, except for the prince group who is really inexperienced, and the harvest of the other seven groups can't be said to be particularly good."

"That's right, I heard that they had divination and experienced fishermen chose this key location for a long time, and they said that the harvest here was particularly good, so they started fishing here for the first time." Emma nodded, with a little disappointment on her face, "I didn't expect it."

"A three-digit harvest is not a lot. According to what the female officer told me, this result can only be regarded as a pass line fishing. If it is a small fishing boat, it is okay. The result is... because we are a big boat, so we have Some influence?"

"I don't know about that." Emma shook her head very honestly, showing a sly smile, "I only know that Weixi's people are almost unable to keep blowing."

"Individual counting is definitely impossible." Anna should be.

"The beginning was so bad, and the end is not very good. There is nothing to salvage. I don't think it will do well with the fourth net bag. Besides, the sky is getting dark, and there may be a storm. Many people have added shawls."

"Yes, I heard from the sailors that it might not be possible to wait until the fifth net, and the sky is coming... I hope the storm will not be too big."

"However, it gave a ready-made excuse. If the fifth fishing is not successful, another 'replenishment fishing' will definitely be organized at that time, and the area that can be operated will be even larger."

"Yes." Emma nodded.

"Whether it is fishing a few more times, counting the results of six or seven times as five times, or directly 'filling' in, the final results will not be too ugly."

"Prince Weixi made such a big fuss, and even went out to sea, etc., he will definitely not be reconciled to such a mediocre ending." Anna said.

"He probably wants to brush up the historical records. He doesn't know what the fishing results of the princes who went fishing in Weixi over the years are, but according to his ambition, he will definitely make some moves, but he doesn't know that he will understand. Come here or secretly, or there are some other means."

"But I want to be in public..." Emma hesitated for a moment, then smiled again.

"It doesn't have to be in public, he can have people fish for him, or arrange for people to fish when they are not around, and then inform everyone that he has caught the 'seafood' that has caught people... It is indeed very operable, and it is also like His character will do it."

The general character of this Prince Weixi has been clearly seen by everyone. He looks very humble and polite, but in fact he can't hide his ambition.

He is a person who wants to do big things, and he is not the kind of person who is obsessed with love at all, but after all, it is a fairy tale world, and it is not uncommon for a normal princess to become a princess with a love brain. The prince is the same, so he It is not impossible if he suddenly changes his temper or something.

But judging from the current relationship between him and Princess Leina, the two don't seem to have a particularly special aura.

Of course it doesn’t mean that he doesn’t like Princess Lena and the like. In fact, the two seem to have a crush on each other, but the feeling of fairy-tale love really doesn’t exist. Maybe it’s the case for Lena herself. Damn, anyway, others don't think so when they look at it calmly.

Prince Weixi is very calm and very purposeful. Although he hides something, sometimes the purpose is very obvious.

For example, this time, it was very obvious and the starting angle was very clever. If Anna hadn't realized that this journey was mixed with some unexpected things, she really felt that there was nothing wrong with this operation itself. Anyway, she is a person who enjoys it, so it is hard to say anything else.

"Wow--"

Suddenly there was a lively commotion from the crowd over there.

Anna and Emma looked at each other and walked there together.

The two of them talked, and walked to the place where the crowd was behind. There were not many people here, and they couldn't directly see the fishing situation on Prince Weixi's side, but they could see some activities carried out by other escort ships at the same time, including another ship. fishing activities.

There is a scale and organization here. Follow the prince one by one, and the other side is to proceed as soon as possible.

"What a beautiful pearl!"

Everyone praised each other together.

Anna and Emma also leaned on the railing and looked down. Inside Prince Weixi's fishing net, there was a very beautiful blue-purple pearl oyster. It was very huge, about the size of several face plates. Just now Prince Weixi opened it with a knife. After digging this huge and heavy clam shell, the most eye-catching thing inside is——

A large and beautiful black pearl.

"Wow." Emma exclaimed.

"This color is really amazing."

"Indeed." Anna also looked shocked.

This kind of pearl is so beautiful that it looks like it can glow when held in the hand. In the gradually darkening sky, it looks like a night pearl.

Of course, it is a rare black pearl, but this does not prevent it from being shiny and translucent black.

"It's really amazing." Emma sighed again.

Probably no woman can resist the charm of such pearls.

Anna glanced at it distractedly, and basically everyone focused on this pearl, and the prince suddenly became the focus of everyone's eyes again.

Originally, everyone was still doing their own things, as if they didn't care at all and had nothing to praise, but now——

Everyone's mouth seemed to be smeared with honey, and good words came out one after another, and everyone couldn't wait to praise Prince Weixi.

There are some other pearls in that clam shell, but the others are not as conspicuous as this pearl at all.

"Okay, now comes the problem." Emma suddenly showed a naughty smile and looked at Anna.

"Ok?"

"What do you think will happen to this pearl?"
