the days before i bought the galaxy

Bethel, the star of the city named after the ancient heroic spirit.

After nearly four months of sailing, the Xiaguang finally arrived at this blue planet known as the "Pearl of the Frontier".

The overall structure of Bethel is somewhat similar to ancient Rome, but mixed with extremely modern elements.The four defensive pillars standing at the four corners of the huge city can resist various attacks below the tenth level.In other words, even if it is hit head-on by a force that can destroy a star as heavy as the sun, this beautiful white city will not suffer any damage.

Bethel has two airports.Her main airport is located in the south of the city, where land and sea meet.All the landing pads are located at sea, and the largest one is located deep in the ocean, relying on a huge fluid platform, it can support large spaceships of standard specifications.Smaller spacecraft are docked offshore.Spaceships are suspended above the whirlpools of white sea water, as if held by invisible hands. This beautiful scene is called the "Tide of Venus" by the locals.

"The landing request was rejected, and the control tower asked us to land at an alternate airport." Lanhui, who is in touch with the landing matter, reported.

Warren frowned: "Request the reason."

On the big screen, there wasn't any "Tide of Venus" to be seen in the entire airport, meaning all the tarmac was empty.This situation is very abnormal. As the largest airport in the Bethel business circle, the number of spaceships taking off and landing here every day should be astonishing.

"The control tower said that the main airport is temporarily blocked, and all ships must land at the backup airport." Blue recounted.

"Go to the alternate airport instead," Warren ordered.He glanced at the calm sea for the last time. Could it be that some important person is coming for such a big battle?

After 45 minutes, the Xiaguang finally landed smoothly on the alternate airport in Bethel.Due to the blockade of the main airport, it took a lot of rhetoric for Lan to get permission to land.It is closer to the city center and is the first airport built on this planet.Later, after the main airport was built, it became an alternate port.As soon as he stepped out of the plane, Warren smelled the fragrance of flowers in the air.

The air composition of Bethel is very close to that of the earth. Under the illumination of a golden sun and a smaller white sun, she is like spring all the year round, which is very suitable for plant growth.Coupled with the consul's support for urban greening, flowers can be seen everywhere on this urban planet.

"I hate this smell." Bogo, the last Clarke star who came out of the cabin, muttered, "It feels a bit like toothpaste."

Warren glanced back at his men.

"No, no, Captain, I'm not against you letting us brush our teeth! I just... I just don't like the smell of toothpaste very much!" Bogo immediately waved his two short claws, denying what he accidentally showed just now. no in good mood.

After several years of getting along, Warren discovered that the Clarke Germans are very obedient.Just like other crocodiles will always involuntarily do what Bogo says when they see Bogo, all crocodiles including Bogo almost obey him, and this situation is sometimes even close to in flattery.One of the best examples is that Bogo never called him by his name, but called him "Your Excellency the Captain" every time, and his behavior also carried a kind of respect that Clarke's star people have for their superiors.

"It doesn't matter, maybe we can also make toothpaste a beef flavor. Adding floral or mint flavors is just out of the habit of people on earth." Warren thinks that if we can add various raw meat flavors to toothpaste, it is estimated that it will greatly increase the number of crocodiles. Passion for brushing teeth.He smiled cordially at Pogo, who was immediately moved to boast of "Sir Captain's" thoughtfulness.

"Excuse me... is this Mr. Warren Slim?" A woman wearing a red wide-brimmed hat, red coat and narrow skirt appeared beside Warren's spaceship.She raised the brim of her hat a little, revealing a very charming face.She looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, with fair skin and beautiful dimples on each cheek. She wore bright red lipstick, but she didn't look tacky at all.

Warren knew the man he was waiting for was coming.

"I guess you are Miss Millet Leslie." Warren walked down the last gangway.

He was about a head taller than Millet, and his black military-style dress matched his red suit perfectly.Bethel's eyes looked almost transparent in the midday sunlight.Despite being only 17 years old, his good looks and strong frame combined to give him a sense of safety and security.It was only when she smiled with eight teeth that Mirit Leslie could vaguely sense that this young man was not easy to mess with.

"Yes, you are really smart! I have been looking forward to your arrival since I issued the marriage letter. I have been waiting for you at the main airport for the past few days. Today the main airport was blocked, so I had to wait here instead. "

There is no doubt that Millet Leslie was a very well-bred girl.She looks bright and lively, full of energy.She kept her eyes on the other person when she spoke, which gave her an air of sincerity, though Warren doubted that it was believable.There was something in her voice that Warren hadn't heard before.At this time, Warren didn't know that this was a pronunciation characteristic from the old school.In any case, the timely presence of the proposing partner at the airport had allowed Warren to make a reasonable judgment about the Leslie family's eagerness.

"Oh, yes, the main airport is blocked." Warren held out his hand and shook hands with the other party. "This is really a pity. I still want to see the 'Tide of Venus'!"

"The 'Tide of Venus' is really beautiful. But it doesn't matter, you can see it tomorrow after the welcoming ceremony is over." Millet said with a smile.

"Welcome ceremony? Any big shots coming?" Warren was immediately suitably curious.

"He claims to be a rich man who does not want to reveal his identity." Millet leaned closer to Warren's ear and said, "But Uncle Henry, ah, I'm always used to addressing the magistrate like that. He is my father's best friend. He Tell me in private that it's the people from the Yindun family who have come."

"Silver Shield family?" Warren was taken aback.

Someone once joked that the popularity of the Silver Shield family among the Earthlings is the same as that of the Earth among the Earthlings.The reason why this family is famous is that one of the main currencies used by the people on earth - the Galaxy Shield is issued by this family, and the shield-shaped emblem engraved on the Galaxy Shield represents this ancient and great family.

The Silver Shield family is almost the wealthiest of all super consortiums, and the fact that it can set up its headquarters on Earth alone is already unmatched by many rising stars.There is a common saying circulating among the people on Earth that well illustrates the status of the Silver Shield family - "The land of the home planet belongs to the Federation, and only Silver Shield can share it with the Federation."

The representative of such a great family came to Bethel, no wonder the administrator blocked the main airport.

"And the people here are not ordinary people." Mirit's eyes sparkled with excitement, "The heir of the Silver Shield family will arrive in Bethel this afternoon."

Warren felt his heart beat faster.He raised his eyebrows: "I heard he is very young?"

"Only 14 years old! The youngest son of the family, the Silver Shield family has just announced his appointment. You should really listen to what people in Manchester Academy are talking about him. There have been all kinds of rumors about him."

"It is said that he has two mentally handicapped older brothers?"

"Yes, in front of him, the other two children born to the first wife have physical defects. But the children of the Silver Shield family are far more than these. He must have his own merits to be the heir. Some people say He's a genius, the kind that happens once in a century in the entire galaxy."

Warren shrugged.He didn't pay much attention to this "big man" who happened to arrive in Bethel on the same day as him.Whether it is the Silver Shield family or the Manchester Academy, they don't have much to do with him at the moment.How to solve the hidden problems behind this marriage is what he cares most about.

"What's next for Miss Leslie?" he asked politely.

"There's a dinner tonight at the Sheriff's Mansion, and I think Uncle Henry will be delighted to meet you. It's a reception in name, but it's well known that the heirs of the Silver Shield family never attend, so presumably it will turn out to be Let’s have an ordinary party! I’ll send you to the hotel first, and I’ll pick you up later today.”

Warren nodded, approving of the arrangement.He wasn't surprised that the other party didn't ask him immediately whether he accepted the marriage request.Since an alliance is to be reached, it is necessary to better understand each other before making a decision, and it would seem disingenuous to make a hasty decision.

"May I take the liberty to ask, the gentleman behind you, is he... a Clarke star?" Mirit looked at Bogo curiously, she wanted to ask when she saw the treasurer of the Xiaguang for the first time this problem.

"Yes, this is Bogo Crocodile. He has a good temper, but you have to be careful not to let the smell of the perfume on your body irritate him." Warren continued, "This is Charlie Bergman, My staff officer. This is Lan, the navigator of the Xiaguang and my most important assistant."

"Hi, I'm Mirit Leslie." Mirit shook hands with Warren's subordinates one by one.When it was Bogo's turn, she was careful not to show fear, even though the crocodile's bloody mouth was scary even without bad breath.

"Mr. Slim..."

"Just call me Warren."

"Then please call me Mirit. Your spaceship looks very different from ordinary spaceships."

"The Xiaguang was a gift from the Clarke star." Warren explained with a smile.

This answer surprised Millet.According to the information she possessed, Warren helped the people on Earth drive away the entrenched Clarke people, and when he was received by the archbishop of the Holy Light Sect, the archbishop favored him and received an interstellar portal.But now, she saw with her own eyes that Warren not only had the Clarke German crew, but also an alien spacecraft, which made her vigilant.

"Let's go! I've booked the best hotel in Bethel for you, and I believe that you can experience the essence of Bethel there-the beauty of atmosphere and prosperity. Warren, I can't wait to show you those monuments and……"

Millet paused suddenly.The sky above them was blocked by a huge shadow.Warren raised his head, and he saw a black spaceship, so large that it could almost cover half of the city.Slowly and silently, she passed over their heads, which raised a heavy respect from the bottom of my heart.Warren saw a silver shield on the back of the ship.

Is he the heir of the Silver Shield family...

He smiled, stopped looking at the spaceship drifting away in the sky, turned around and walked to Mirit's airship, and opened the car door for the lady.
