I didn't open it in another world, I'm sure

"No. Don't make trouble, Your Highness."

All right...

Just as Nangong Xiao and Qiuye were interacting on the sacrificial platform like a young couple who had deserted in class, under the eaves outside the square, Charles Duronda, Priest Adala and other people from the Holy See of the Holy Light had strange expressions at the moment. It's ugly, not because of the ritual activities of the dragon people held here, but because Gru and Maiev Shadowsong appeared aboveboard, which made them feel like cursing their mothers.

Looking at the malicious eyes of the two legendary powerhouses of the elves, Char Duronda said very dissatisfied, "You two, this is too much."

Maiev Shadowsong had no interest in paying attention to Char Duronda's words at all. Apart from using the air machine to lock Char Duronda, her gaze remained on the high altar, the master who gave her a new life.

Gru is also similar to Maiev, but Gru, who has a milder temperament, responded, "Mr. Master, if you obey the law, then don't care about us. Our master values ​​this celebration very much. If someone dares to participate in the most important part of the celebration Priests are always making trouble, and we don't mind provoking the unspoken rules of the Legendary Continent of Huiyao that no death fights are allowed at will, please believe me, I'm not joking."

"Hmph, the leader of the sect is an official envoy representative. Are you afraid that the world will laugh at you for making things difficult?" Although there were two... no, it should be three, there is still one in the dark!

Being stared at by three powerhouses of the same rank, Char Duronda felt extremely jealous, but he was unwilling to admit defeat.

"In the face of malicious outsiders, we always feel that we need to use swords to protect our own safety. We think so, and our master thinks so too. I hope Mr. Master can understand."

Gru's tone was moderate, and he spoke with a somewhat gentle smile, but the toughness revealed in the words made Charle and the others couldn't help but curse secretly—crazy!

"Huh! The 'courtesy' of Dawn City, I have recorded it!" Char Duronda snorted coldly, then ignored Gru and Maiev, and turned his attention to the sacrificial altar.

Charl Duronda understood completely that the people who came out of Dawn City would not play cards according to common sense at all, as if they could draw a knife, they would never talk nonsense like you. Yes, it doesn't work at all...

At the end of the East Street outside the square, on a special pavilion engraved with "Qingsi Pavilion" on the plaque, in front of an external balcony, Ji Ruofeng was holding a wine glass, leaning on the railing of the balcony fence, looking at the sacrificial priest with a somewhat blurred gaze. Over there on the high platform.

At this time, Qingsi Pavilion, except for a few handymen who need to stay to watch the store, young officials, geisha and other personnel have all gone to watch the ceremony, which makes the Qingsi Pavilion, which should be bustling, look extraordinarily deserted.

It is also because it is very deserted here now, which makes Ji Ruofeng feel particularly boring.

While he was drinking boredly, a middle-aged Qilinwei man who had changed into casual clothes suddenly appeared beside Ji Ruofeng.

"Your Highness, the relevant information on people's livelihood in Dawn City has been collected and sent to the other courtyard where His Highness is staying."

Ji Ruofeng didn't know how to ask, "How do you feel?"

The Qilin Guard pondered for a while and said, "The rule of a virtuous king is the source of troubled times."

"You can see clearly... Back off."

"Here!"

After the Qilin Guard disappeared, Ji Ruofeng yawned and seemed a little bored. He looked at the high altar in the distance and murmured to himself, "Nephew and son-in-law, don't do it for it, fool? Reckless? Self-righteous, or The ticket is in your hands? It's so interesting..."

Under the eaves of the west street outside the square, because there were too many people watching the ceremony, the old coachman had no choice but to protect his little master in a small corner.

"Miss, there are too many people here, why don't we go back?"

The black-robed girl shook her head and said, "It's okay, I'm in good condition now, well, it's rare to see the rumored sacrificial ceremony of the dragon people, it's always a pity to leave without watching it."

The old coachman blinked his eyes, and finally did not persuade him anymore. He also knew that his young lady's health has become healthier recently, and it will not be long before she can be like ordinary people. It is rare that my young lady has such a little curiosity besides reading. How could the old coachman not follow his wishes?

"Uncle Sol, the people of this city really support their city lord. Perhaps our choice was right." The black-robed girl stood on a wooden box, tiptoed to look at the sacrificial high platform A certain figure said with a little feeling.

The old coachman blinked his eyes, but he really wanted to say, when he was fleeing for his life, he ran into the border of Dawn City in a panic, so what choice did he have...

"That's what the lady said."

"Uncle Saul, are you currently working as the group leader for the processing of civil magic components of the Qi system in the Magic Industrial Zone?"

"Yes ma'am, what's the problem?"

"No, do it well."

"Uh... ok. I'll do my job."

"Ah."

After the black-robed girl responded, she stopped talking and concentrated on watching the sacrificial dance on the altar.The old coachman didn't say much anymore, he also stood on his heels and looked towards the sacrificial altar...

On a viewing platform next to the altar, Princess Chang Xi and Princess Lilia stood side by side surrounded by a group of maids and servants, watching the sacrificial dance on the altar.

Princess Lilia looked at it for a while, and then said a little boringly, "The sense of ceremony is too heavy, this kind of dance is not beautiful enough."

Princess Chang Xi on the side smiled helplessly, "Lilia, please keep your voice down."

"Sorry, sorry." Lilia also knew that this kind of occasion can't talk nonsense, so in other words, "By the way, I remember that it is the duty of wives and concubines for the dragon people to 'dress'? That guy didn't let us go, but Let that Asuna and Sayuri go, what is that? Are you looking down on us?"

Lilia's words made Princess Changxi pause for a while, and she finally said, "The relationship between us is too special. Besides, he didn't violate the etiquette. We just have a marriage contract, not married. Whether or not to follow the etiquette depends on the situation, and there are not many restrictions. As for Asuna and Sayuri, maybe...that's why he doesn't care about us..."

Speaking of this, Princess Chang Xi felt that her words were inappropriate, so she added, "Isn't this a good thing for us? After all, you and I don't care much about this kind of marriage."

Lilia said rather perplexedly, "Although I don't care, and it's good to live my own life like this, but I always feel a little uncomfortable, hehe, there is always a feeling of being underestimated."

Princess Chang Xi blinked, she actually felt this way too, and even felt something was wrong, she always felt that it shouldn't be like this.

Lilia said again at this time, "By the way, Ruoxi, what is your plan? I have someone buy another courtyard in the city, and I plan to live there for a long time. I don't want to go home for a long time. Well, this place is very good , especially the temperament of the residents is generally very gentle, I like it very much. Unlike the cities of other ethnic groups, they are full of desire and hostility, which makes people disgusted."

Princess Changxi recalled what she saw and heard this afternoon. Under the constraints of authoritative morality and law, the people in the city seemed extraordinarily harmonious and peaceful. This kind of environment is really good, at least Princess Changxi is very happy I like this place, so I nodded and said, "It's really good here, but I can only stay for a few more days at most, and I need to go back to my life. But, I must come here often in the days to come. Whether it's business or private , I have to come here often.”

"Is that so..." Lilia was in a daze when she responded.

"What's wrong?" Princess Changxi asked curiously.

"I just suddenly felt that it would be great if all the cities were like Shuguang City. This kind of scene where all ethnic groups live in peace is really good."

For Lilia's sentiment, Princess Chang Xi paused, but slightly shook her head and said, "It's not easy, unless..."

"unless?"

"It's nothing." Some words were too sensitive, so Princess Chang Xi still didn't say them out, but instead said, "The sacrificial dance is over, and it's time to read the congratulations."

"Oh~"

Chapter 205 Shi Yu and Jing's Lovely Whisper

There are still many distinguished guests on the viewing platform, such as representatives of big merchants and powerful forces, basically watching the ceremony on the special viewing platform, and only the representatives of the Holy See of Holy Light were not invited. As for the reason, there is no need to say more up.

On the viewing platform, in a corner to the left of Princess Changxi and Princess Lilia, the remaining members of the Holy Black Cat Knights, such as Kasumigaoka Shiwa, Hiratsuka Shizu, and Chu Xuan, were there. exist.

Unlike Dongye, Naiyako, Maple and others who were just short of having an extra popcorn in their hands, Chu Xuan and Xiaoji looked at the sacrificial altar quietly, with expressionless faces, It was completely impossible for outsiders to tell whether they were watching the ceremony or lost in thought.

As for Kasumigaoka Shiwa and Hirazuka Shizuka, they were whispering to each other at this time.

Hiratsuka Shizu said, "Before, did you see that?"

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu nodded slightly, "Yes, Sayuri, you are really bold... Besides, I didn't expect that guy to still like married women, really..."

Shizuka Hiratsuka rolled her eyes, "Don't forget there are Asuna, Akiba and Fuyuba, if there is another loli, that guy will probably have full control."

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu blinked, "That's right."

"By the way, don't you have a chance in this way?" Shizuka Hiratsuka suddenly smiled playfully.

"Uh... what nonsense, I..." Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu's cheeks were slightly red, but she was quite frank about this aspect, and in the end she didn't deny it coyly, but said in other words, "Well, chances or something, actually It doesn't make sense to me."

"Eh? Why?" Shizuka Hiratsuka was puzzled. She could still see the careful thinking of this old partner. Although she also knew that her old partner couldn't say how obsessed with that guy, but she should also have a good impression of him, right?

"Some people can't accept it, polygamy or something." Xiazhiqiu Shiyu said it very directly.

"This... To be honest, it's hard for me to accept it." Shizuka Hiratsuka nodded suddenly, and then said, "It's just, I'm really curious, why Asuna can accept it ? It seems... quite happy."

When Hiratsuka was speaking quietly, he took a look from a distance. The two people standing at the door of the small tent next to the sacrificial platform saw Asuna holding Sayuri's arm, talking and laughing with Sayuri, which made Hiratsuka Zhong Jing couldn't help but secretly marvel.

Kasumigaoka Shiwa also followed Shizuka Hiratsuka's gaze to look at the small tent, and finally shrugged and said, "It's about Asuna's background."

"Oh? How do you say it?" Shizuka Hiratsuka knew that Kasumigaoka Shiwa was Asuna's guide, and it was normal to know some things.

"When Asuna first came to this world, to be honest, she was really not very good. It can be said that she was a young lady who was unwilling to accept the reality. At that time, I thought about giving up this newcomer directly after finishing the mission. "Xiazhiqiu Shiyu said lightly with memories, "It was also at that time that I learned from the emotionally unstable Asuna that she was really born as a young lady, and she was the kind who had no personal space since she was a child. The kind of young lady whose life is well arranged by her parents. Girls who grow up in that environment are likely to be inferior to girls from ordinary families like us in terms of autonomy. In a sense, it is a habit You are at the mercy of others. However, in terms of knowledge, especially the knowledge of the dirty private life of the upper class, it is true that we common people cannot compare... Hiratsuka-sensei, you are an exception, you are different."

"Hmph, that's of course." Shizuka Hiratsuka smiled complacently, and said, "I probably understand, but ah, is she the kind of person who is submissive? I don't look like it." ?”

"Yes and no." Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu said, "People are complicated, and Asuna has the disadvantage of being resigned, which is caused by her previous living environment, but she also has certain subjective abilities, especially at the beginning of the year, that name The fact that the qualified person who took good care of her died for her had a great impact on her. To be honest, if it hadn’t been for the appearance of that guy, I was really worried that Asuna would have been so decadent. Probably because of the unintentional The guy has become a spiritual pillar, and because she has a little bit of resignation, it is easier for her to accept things that are ridiculous to us modern people than us."

"Is there a qualified person who died for Asuna's severing? I haven't heard of such a thing." Hiratsuka Shizuka was puzzled.

Kasumigaoka Shiwa said with some emotion, "That's Asuna's sad thing, how can I tell it everywhere. I also happened to be by her side when Asuna was about to collapse, and I only knew after listening to her cry. It turns out that there are still such good people who treat others with sincerity among the qualified people, which is a pity."

"What's that man's name?"

"It's a qualified woman codenamed 'Anna', other information is unclear, but based on Asuna's messy confession at the time, it can be roughly imagined to be a kind-hearted and helpful elder sister.

When Asuna came out of the novice stage and experienced alone in the wilderness, she gave Asuna a lot of help. Unfortunately, they encountered a sudden refresh of high-level monster legions in the southwest mountains of Romand Province. The two couldn't get away, this kind-hearted big sister left all the chances of survival to Asuna, and died alone...It's a pity..."

"That's really, what a pity." Shizuka Hiratsuka couldn't help sighing.

"Yes, but because of this big sister, Asuna really grew up, and because of this, Asuna is now." Kasumigaoka Shiwa said with a wry smile and shook her head, "I don't know the current Asuna Whether Sina is good or bad, I just hope that her smile is not fake, and the happiness she feels is real."

"Enough is enough. As a guide, your mission has already ended." Shizuka Hiratsuka said with a related smile while holding a cigarette.

"As a guide, my responsibility is indeed over, but, as a companion of the same guild, as a comrade-in-arms, a friend, how can I not care?"

"That's right... it's too far away." Hiratsuka Jing breathed out a smoke ring, and said, "You really have no idea? I can see that that guy also has a good impression of you."

"It's just because of the superimposed affection for the paper man's wife." Kasumigaoka Shiyu shook his head and said, "I can see that the only people he really cares about so far are the president and Asuna. Well, Akiba barely counts. , as for the others, it is more because of the addition of anime character attributes that he 'likes' it."

"Huh? Are you sure?"

"I'm sure."

"This is really..." Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't know what to say for a while.

But Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu said, "Of course, this is not to say that he doesn't care about us, but that his feelings for us don't go beyond companionship and 'like' for special existence."

"I understand, um, that's why you don't plan to do it for the time being?"

What Hiratsuka Shizu said made Kasumigaoka Shiwa a little helpless, "Mr. Hiratsuka, can't you stop thinking about that? Isn't it better to be pure? Or, you can't suppress your desire for men anymore?"

"Uh...what nonsense..." Hiratsuka shut up quickly. She suddenly realized that she couldn't make a fool of herself in such an occasion. Fortunately, she woke up in time and didn't alarm others. The priest on the sacrificial altar was still reading loudly. The two million spectators in the square are still listening quietly at this time.

Seeing that everything was as usual, Shizuka Hiratsuka also secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu smiled and said, "That guy is simple and complicated. It simply means that he follows the most superficial social creed, that is, he treats whoever treats him well. It's complicated, it's who I don't know whether he deliberately made you think so, or something else.

But, excluding other elements, he is a reliable choice, how about it?Hiratsuka-sensei, do you want to try it?There is the example of Sayuri first, which shows that he doesn't care about the age gap.And aren't you very happy to fight with him on weekdays?I think you are still very suitable. "

"Why did it involve me..." Shizuka Hiratsuka rolled her eyes, and said lightly, "I think life is pretty good now, and I don't want to be troublesome."

"I didn't even refute..."

"Uh... anyway, anyway, I'm not interested in thinking about those messy things now..."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Hiratsuka, as long as you are happy." Seeing her partner's inappropriate expression, Kasumigaoka Shiyu couldn't help but turn into a dead fish, but then suddenly said, "To be honest, I'm very curious. .”

"Curious?" Hiratsuka looked over in puzzlement.

"Whose room will that guy spend the night in tonight? Or, Asuna and Sayuri will go to that guy's room together..."

"This..."

Shizuka Hiratsuka's cheeks burned, as if thinking of some pictures that would be difficult to look at even with mosaics.

Just when Xiazhiqiu Shiyu wanted to say something more, the reading of the sacrificial text on the high platform of the sacrificial ceremony was over, accompanied by the long singing of the sacrificial music, many drowsy spectators who were made sleepy by the long sacrificial text reading also turned back at this time The gods came, and looked straight at the sacrificial high platform.

"Gift!"

Following the shout of the priest, all the civil and military members of Dawn City headed by Nangong Xiao bowed to the World Tree behind the ceremony tripod.At the same time, all the spectators below the sacrificial platform bowed respectfully to the World Tree.

But at this moment, the towering World Tree shook its branches and leaves lightly. In addition to the rustling sound, there was also a light blue light rain covering the entire Dawn City in midair, as if the priests had obtained it. The response from the World Tree is average, and those light rains are the best positive feedback that worshipers can get.

What makes ordinary people even more excited is that anyone who is shrouded in light and rain will feel relaxed, comfortable and full of energy, and even give people the illusion that their bodies are healthier than before.

——Maybe that's not an illusion, it's the blessing of the World Tree!

Countless residents couldn't help but have this idea in their hearts. Similarly, it also made people's reverence for the World Tree even more pious...

Chapter 206 Ji Ruofeng's Warning

According to the common calendar in the mainland, at the beginning of November 3114, the celebration of Dawn City had ended for a few days. Due to the multi-faceted interaction and collaboration of this large-scale collective event, the neighborhood relationship and consensus of the people in the city were further integrated, and also As a result, people have a greater sense of belonging to Dawn City. Similarly, the miraculous gift of the World Tree has also given people more expectations for a bright future.

Due to many factors, the popular support and cohesion of Dawn City have also been greatly improved.

Also because of this, people's official confidence in Dawn City has reached a peak, and many official policies of Dawn City have been implemented more smoothly.

This is good news for Dawn City, but for Charl Duronda and others, it is the worst news.

In a sense, the residents of Dawn City now have "faith". Although the official Dawn City has not made a statement, after the gift of the World Tree, people will naturally express their most sincere and sincere prayers in their hearts. All are dedicated to the world tree that can directly give the most intuitive positive feedback.

Perhaps it only needs an official call from Dawn City, and a religion with millions of believers can be established in a short time.

In this regard, Char Duronda and others have no hope of completing their mission to Dawn City.Because of this, after a little discussion between Charl Duronda and Adala Priest, only a few ordinary monks were left to set up a small diplomatic office in Dawn City, while the others left Dawn City directly.

What made Char Duronda and the others gnash their teeth even more was that Gru and Maiev, two legendary powerhouses from Dawn City, actually "sent off" them in person and followed them until they left the border of Kerton.

This kind of behavior full of distrust and hostility made Charles Duronda and the others almost lose their temper on the spot. Fortunately, they were not brats and they all endured it.
