Maximian IX, who had a pig's head and a big chin and claimed to be a descendant of Habsburg, drove back to the palace.
Xu Cheng and Pao Pao imitated the movements of his guards and followed his carriage with goose steps, like two arrogant little attendants.
They met Lianhua and Shahua at the intersection, looked at each other and smiled awkwardly.
"Where have you been?" Shahua shouted, "Don't leave me!"
"You look like someone on patrol!" Lianhua laughed.
"Quack!" Xu Cheng saluted Lianhua, eager to show her his new title.
Now, she has been canonized as the Baroness of Hecht Town, with 100 households, 2,500 acres of land and 200 cows under her name.
Her gorgeous certificate of honor will be printed out and set in a hard plastic board, along with a QR code. After scanning, it will jump to the Habsburg family website to appreciate their huge lineage and their history from ancient times.
The first example of a family genetic disease is both vivid and catastrophic.
The carriages separated from the crowd of citizens on the street, and the reporters from the local tabloid were about to make a move. Xu Cheng and Paopao looked at each other and decided to escape with Lianhua and the others to avoid being entangled by the reporters.
They ran along the cobblestone streets and went back to their rooms. Lianhua closed the door.
"It is said that the Seven Hills are all vampires." Paopao recalled what Maximian IX said.
"What should we do? I heard that you defeated one vampire, but what about a thousand more?" Lianhua asked.
"Hey, it's okay." Xu Cheng had to first see what gift she got from the big-chinned King of Leitania.
She caressed the smooth box and ran her fingertips over the golden relief. This is the brand of the "Gods of Tomorrow" company and is popular among wealthy people.
Xu Cheng knew nothing about luxury goods, but when he opened the box, he couldn't help but feel excited.
It is comparable to what most people earn from a lifetime of hard work. Xu Cheng thought silently as she cut the ribbon with a knife. The blade cut across the gorgeous embroidery and patterns, which made her feel a little distressed.
"Don't be fooled - that old nobleman from Taixi Province wants to buy your loyalty. He is really pretentious." Lianhua said contemptuously.
"This is the first time we have received an expensive gift. It's amazing." Paopao has a positive attitude. She also has a box.
Messengers like them, who risk their lives to cross the restricted area, shouldn't they be rewarded commensurate with their dedication?
"Quack!" Xu Cheng opened the box carefully, and the hinges creaked slightly.
They couldn't help but cast their eyes on the treasure in the box, which was a dark blue cloak nestled in the folds of silk underneath.
The edge of the cloak was embroidered with silver thread, and the pattern resembled a falling meteor. Xu Cheng couldn't help but breathe quickly. He took the cloak out of the box with both hands and raised it in front of himself.
Her fingertips gently rubbed against the outer edge of the fine silk. Lianhua was stunned as she wished that this was a gift she had received.
Almost crying, Xu Cheng put on the blue cloak. It was so quiet, like an artist embroidering a midnight dream onto the fabric. She felt like she was shrouded in mist, as if dusk was approaching.
She looked at the others, feeling that she was well protected by this cloak. Her gaze seemed to be cast from a mortal throne, full of noble distance.
Maybe Xu Cheng is a child, but when she puts on the blue cloak, she feels as noble as Falosa.
No longer ordinary.
"Does it look good?" Xu Cheng pinched the hem of the cloak and awkwardly pulled the platinum shoulder buckle. She felt like she was about to float up from the ground. Anyone who puts on a luxury product with a price tag of 3 million will be fooled by consumerism.
You will be shocked by the full range of weapons provided, including status, safety and value.
"It's...awesome..." Paopao was stunned. What Xu Cheng needed was glory and miracles.
"Luxury goods are not durable." Lianhua held it in for a long time before he could only say this.
"Where's yours?" Xu Cheng looked at Bubble.
Bubble opened her box carefully, it was a silver necklace.
"Put it on!" She impatiently pointed to her neck and asked Xu Cheng to help her put it on.
"Yeah, yeah, that's enough..." Xu Cheng personally put the silver necklace on Paopao.
Each chain of the silver necklace is like a crescent moon, with a drop-shaped amber hanging at the end. The amber is as clear as honey. Through its translucent texture, you can see an ancient life trapped deep in the amber. It is a certain person.
A small fly native to the species is still clutching the spots on the leaves and stems between its claws.
Paopao put it on and could hardly feel its weight. What she felt more was Xu Cheng's breathing and her focused gaze. Paopao smiled slightly.
"Does it look good?" Paopao asked.
"Quack." Xu Cheng nodded vigorously. Maximian IX was indeed very generous, perhaps this was part of his huge collection.
"I withdrew with great jealousy." Lianhua said in a long tone, pulling Shahua away.
Shahua wanted to sleep on the corridor, and now he started searching the hotel for blankets that no one wanted.
Xu Cheng and Paopao looked at each other and smiled, turned off the lights and got into bed.
…
The next day, they returned to the Sky Patroller and reunited with Hades.
"Are we going to Qiqiu?" Ming Gongqiao asked.
"Yes! Last order!" Xu Cheng was still wearing the blue cloak, which was her favorite and she would wear it no matter where she went.
Bubble suspected that Xu Cheng would dirty it, and learned a big lesson. From then on, he only wore a blue cloak on important occasions.
She noticed that Xu Cheng talked more. After a long journey, Xu Cheng's attitude towards the world seemed to be more positive, and another knot in his heart was broken? Bubble didn't know.
"Our mission will be over after arriving at Qiqiu. As long as we find Qianmeng and hand over the goods to her, our expedition will be over." Paopao breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking back at the long road, what a magnificent journey it has been.
From Gialongpo, Budan Snow Mountain, Seva Castle on the Crimean Peninsula, and Neletania, the sky surveyor will then go straight to the City of Seven Hills - one of the oldest and most famous cities in Western Europe.
City!
When they first arrived in Jialongpo, no one thought they could cover such a long distance and how many miles...more than 25,000 miles!
"Before you came, the local officials of New Eagle Fort replenished me with weapons and ammunition. As soon as I heard that we were going to Qiqiu, they doubled the supply. My ability to recognize human emotions is weak, but I feel that they
It's sympathy: I think we are doomed." Ming Gongqiao opened the cabin and displayed boxes of brand new supplies.
"If the Seven Hills and even all parts of Italia are infested by vampires, wouldn't we not even have a place to land?" Lianhua climbed in and stuffed his pockets with new 10mm bullet boxes and small energy batteries.
"We have to make an emergency landing in a wilderness with no response and are surrounded by vampires. Qianmeng may have escaped to some unknown place." Ming Gongqiao said simply.
Xu Cheng frowned, and the atmosphere in the team fell into silence for a moment.
Yes, not being able to find Qianmeng is the most important thing.
Qiqiu has been controlled by vampires, and Qian Meng is probably hiding and wandering somewhere. This is the worst news for the messengers, which means that they have to search for Qian Meng on a vast land of tens of thousands of square kilometers. This is almost impossible.
possible tasks.
Xu Cheng couldn't contact Qian Meng at all, not even Nisto Company. Qian Meng was a mystery, one of the seven witches and the controller of time. She went to Italia as early as two years before the disaster broke out.
No news.
At this moment, it is even less possible to establish effective contact.
Even if you go to Qiqiu, you can't find Qian Meng in the shadow of the vampire.
"Let's... go back." Lian Hua sat at the back of the cabin.
"Go back?" Xu Cheng repeated.
"Back to Jialongpo, I mean, wait for a while, when the fog is not so active, maybe we can take another route. You have seen that the fog between Seva Fort and Boudan is so big
The monster is here. Under its belly may be the past Britannia, which is also the place where the catastrophe first started. We have to change our way back. Anyway, do you think we can find anything in Qiqiu? Qianmeng has no trace at all.
." Lianhua said.
"And all luck will dissipate... Can you guarantee that next time... we won't be unlucky? Can you guarantee... that every time you toss a coin, it will be heads?" Shahua said hesitantly.
Xu Cheng's eyes turned to Bubbles, which greatly disappointed Xu Cheng. Bubbles actually showed a weak smile: "Yes."
"What?" Xu Cheng wanted to confirm Paopao's opinion.
"Let's go back, or just live here." Paopao stroked the silver necklace he received as a gift, "If nothing else, let's go see Xiao Gua's new territory first, there are so many cows."
The symbols of cows and fresh milk broke into Xu Cheng's mind. She blinked her eyes, and they disappeared in an instant.
There are much more important things in the world than milk. Xu Cheng felt melancholy. How could she convince them to follow her to the end?
Xu Cheng got into his cabin.
Others were startled, thinking she was leaving alone.
"Don't do this!" Lianhua shouted, "You can't go to Qiqiu alone!"
"Yes!" Shahua continued to shout, but in an instant he changed his mind, "No... maybe it would be better without me..."
"...!" Paopao was even more shocked. She leaned forward, got into the cabin, and squatted next to Xu Cheng with tears in her eyes, asking her to forgive her.
Hades Qiao said nothing.
Xu Cheng stared at the glass blankly. She raised her hand and looked at her five fingers.
it's wired.
Others actually thought she wanted to drive the shuttle to Qiqiu alone? Is this what Xu Cheng looked like in the eyes of others?
She didn't look at Bubble, but ordered Bubble to wipe away her tears and stand up.
"Paopao, you and I will go to Qiqiu, because you are my best friend, and you will definitely follow me until the end." Xu Cheng looked at the glass.
"Yes!" Bubble wiped his tears with the back of his hand.
"Lianhua, you and I will go to Qiqiu, because I swear to you that after the mission is completed, we will distribute 30 million funds to you and your sister. From now on, you can live incognito for your whole life." Xu Cheng said.
"...Yes!" Lianhua climbed onto the shuttle unsteadily, not knowing where she got the courage.
"Shahua, you and I will go to Qiqiu, because I need your magic power to deal with vampires, and you can't leave your sister." Xu Cheng said.
"Yes - yes!" Shahua boarded the shuttle. Her hair was unkempt, and she was incompatible with her gorgeously dressed sister, but she pestered Lianhua like a mangy dog.
"Ning Gongqiao, you and I will go to Qiqiu. Because Qianshu's order to you is to protect me." Xu Cheng said.
"Yes." Ming Gongqiao boarded the shuttle, made a final inspection, and greeted Xu Cheng, "Let's go, Captain."
Xu Cheng clenched his fingers again, started the engine, grabbed the joystick, and pulled it down.
The shuttle lifted its head leisurely and moved like a flying dragon.
