The residents of Nakshabana got up early and started a day of hard work in the morning glow.
The curling smoke from cooking kitchens echoes in the streets and alleys, carrying early morning greetings to each other and words of praise to the gods.
Soon, this foreign city that had not been silent for half a night became lively again.
The six-lane main road connects the inner city from south to north to the artificial lake where the royal family is located.
A small dragon chariot quickly passed through the busy city and went straight to the palace.
There is an orange bird flag hanging on the front of the car, which represents the honorable status of the imperial guest.
"It's obviously a war, but everyone is really energetic..."
Through the screen curtains of the car windows, Chang Luofeng observed people's expressions from time to time.
He, who rarely wears suits and ties, is currently visiting the old princess Igraine with two senior officials of the Earth Star Mission.
After all, the reason why Chang Luofeng was forcibly taken to another world was because of this old man.
He was also very curious about what the other party was thinking, so he insisted on calling him, an unknown person, over.
"Well, this has been going on for so many years... Long-term peace can make people tired, and long-term war can also make people numb."
Hearing Chang Luofeng's muttering, the official named Sun sitting next to him couldn't help but shake his head, feeling some sympathy for the residents of the other world.
Although the crowd outside the window looks full of energy, in fact there are only a few intact families.
This kind of genocidal war sweeping across the entire continent has drawn too long a battle line and spanned too long.
Today, it has evolved into a complete war of attrition.
The biggest consumable among them is of course human life.
Although various countries in mainland China have different conscription policies and different methods.
But whether it is tough or soft, or it is incited through feelings or beliefs.
The proportion of young people joining the military in each generation has not declined for years.
To put it bluntly, even in a country like Sigurd that was not at the forefront of the war, it was really new for ordinary people not to have a few men killed in the war.
Fortunately, ordinary people here live much longer than those on Earth and have more offspring.
And because the sea locks are automatically released at birth, women's strength is not much worse than that of men.
Therefore, even if the man in the family never comes back, it will not lead to a serious shortage of labor force in the family.
"I hope our arrival can help this beautiful world embrace peace, Amen."
Another official accompanying him made the sign of the cross on his chest.
Judging from the appearance of the blond hair, blue eyes and green chasuble, he was a Catholic priest.
"Old John, please don't talk like this between us. By the time Earth Star fully intervenes in the war, not to mention the ordinary people here, we will probably be gone."
The official surnamed Sun loosened his tie, as if he had something to say.
The old pastor smiled awkwardly and did not respond, as if he did not want to continue this annoying topic.
"..."
Chang Luofeng drooped his eyelids and continued to look out through the gauze curtain, cleverly pretending not to hear the conversation between the two bosses.
In fact, everyone knows the truth, but no one is willing to say it directly.
The Earth-Star Alliance has a clear purpose in helping other worlds.
That is, no war is allowed to be introduced to the Earth Star under any circumstances, and all potential dangers must be suppressed on the Leitings Continent.
Among them, in addition to the so-called demons, the various races of the Ridings may also become potential enemies of the Earth Star after the crisis is resolved.
Therefore, the most beneficial result is to eliminate the crisis in Leitings and at the same time consume the combat power of all races to the point where they are no longer able to threaten the Earth Star.
And in this process, the earth star gradually grows through the integration of civilizations and exchange of interests between the two worlds.
Therefore, before that, even if the Earth Star Alliance has the ability to assist the Ridings tribes in defeating their enemies, they will definitely slow down their pace as much as possible.
Although this is very inhumane, it is very rational.
There is no problem with the fact that all actions are based on the interests of the earth and stars.
The three of them soon arrived at the entrance of the palace.
After getting off the dragon carriage, under the leadership of the guards, we transferred to a small airship and arrived at an aerial manor located on the upper floors of the castle.
This is the residence of the old princess Igraine. She has been living here since she lost her sight after the death of the previous king in the war.
"Distinguished guests from another world, welcome to your visit. I am the steward of this manor, Gray Situs."
An old gentleman bowed to the three of them, with a warm smile on his face.
As Chang Luofeng stepped off the airship, he whistled in his heart.
With his silver hair, pigtails, short beard, and tendons wrapped in a dress, this old man looks quite handsome.
Under the guidance of the old butler Gray, the three of them walked slowly towards the five-story bungalow located in the center of the manor.
As he walked, Chang Luofeng's forehead couldn't help but feel tense.
Turning his head to look at the two seniors, his expressions were not much better than his.
The gardeners and servants I met along the way were basically old people, and most of them were obviously physically disabled.
It was normal to have missing arms and legs. Chang Luofeng even saw an old man with half of his body completely filled with crystals and metal.
Isn't this the residence of the old princess? Why does it look like a rescue center for the disabled... The three of them couldn't help but have many questions in their minds.
Not only that, Chang Luofeng also found that although these old people deliberately concealed their auras.
But judging from the movement patterns of the energy bodies around their bodies, there seems to be no one whose strength is lower than mine!
Seemingly seeing everyone's doubts, Gray smiled and explained: "The old guys were once part of the Guards Corps under the late king. After retiring, they wanted to continue to protect Lord Igraine, so they stayed here to do some miscellaneous things."
"I see, His Majesty the late king and Lord Igraine are indeed as popular as the rumors say."
The official surnamed Sun sighed with emotion when he heard this, and the old pastor John also smiled and nodded.
The two of them did not mean to compliment each other intentionally. The Earth Star Mission has specially studied the modern history of the Leitings Continent.
The extraordinary feats performed by the former king and princess of the Sigurd Empire on the battlefield were enough to leave a lasting mark in the history of mankind.
Regardless of political identity, they admired these two legendary heroes of the human race from the bottom of their hearts.
Unfortunately, the previous king died heroically in the battle to defend the free city of Eminmacha.
Princess Igraine, known as the 'Eye of the Stars', also suffered a powerful curse in that battle and became blind, so she had to live in this sky manor all year round to recuperate.
"By the way, Mr. Gray, have Lord Igraine's eyesight improved?" The official surnamed Sun asked politely on the surface, but in fact his good intentions were very obvious.
Not long ago, on behalf of China, he presented to the Sigurd royal family a top-quality elixir from the Danxia Peak of Longhu Mountain, the Taihe Blood Melting Pill.
This elixir has the effect of removing filth and regenerating muscles and bones, and is theoretically very suitable for the old princess's condition.
Of course, for an injury that the royal family of a country has been unable to do anything about for so many years, the probability of successfully curing it with just one pill is very small.
But if the blind cat kills the mouse and is cured, the favor will be huge.
Even if it can't be cured, this elixir has no side effects and is worth a try.
"Thank you for the gift from the ancient country of China. Lord Igraine will personally thank you later."
"Although that potion did not cure your injuries, it allowed you to restore some of your natural abilities. This is a good start!" The eyes of the old butler Gray showed very sincere gratitude.
"It's really gratifying and congratulatory. Sun Qian wishes that the 'Eye of the Stars' will shine brightly for the human race again in the future." The official surnamed Sun immediately smiled when he heard this and affirmed his correct decision at that time.
The so-called 'eye of the stars' is an innate ability that transcends the six realms of heaven and earth, star Buddhism and heaven.
It is said that through the perfect integration of consciousness and the five normal senses, Igraine can penetrate all magic barriers and perceive the real scene in the distance.
This ability is very terrifying when put on the battlefield. It means that all the enemy's concealment methods are ineffective and all actions will be exposed to her control.
Sun Qian believed that if he could help Igraine recover his eyes, he would not only bring China closer to the empire, but the Leitins would also regain a major advantage.
But just as he was secretly chuckling, Gray's next words made his smile freeze instantly.
"Lord Igraine can once again feel the 'truth' in people's words. Any lie will become a joke in front of you."
"Yesterday, His Majesty Barnt lied about not secretly driving His Highness Leiyin's sports car, but Lord Igrain exposed him on the spot."
Hearing this, Sun Qian and the old pastor John looked at each other, and both saw panic in each other's eyes.
After swallowing his saliva, Sun Qian immediately sent a message to Chang Luofeng:
'Luo Feng! All the previous discussions are invalid. Now you are trying to make it up... Bah, bah, bah! You can't make up lies! You can think of an explanation that neither tells lies nor exposes the disappearance of that boy Xu Fei!'
Hearing this, Chang Luofeng's face tightened. He thought to himself, Mr. Sun, are you sure this is what a human being said?
