Chapter 465: Crow's Beak
If it weren't for the urgency of the matter, Lu Xi never thought that one day, he would have to ask for a seaweed head. But there is no way, the matter is urgent, Lu Xi has to rush back to Elichar as much as possible, but it has always been a financial deficit before, and the family has no money to buy a super "luxury" such as a private float. Lu Xi was not strong enough to summon a flying star spirit chariot like Orucello to use for transportation - it was only at his current strength that he realized that it was a god-like means to be able to use magic to maintain a star spirit embodiment for months and walk through the air.
But you can't ride a flying beast or buy a regular boat to rush back, can you? That must be a mistake.
In that case, I can only honestly lower my posture and beg the person who owns the floatship, Aemon? Wilanbat, the one named "Uncle Seaweed" by Lu Xi, is naturally the only choice.
If you think about it carefully, the relationship between himself and the Seaweed Head family is actually quite delicate, except for the Seaweed Head himself, who was knocked down by Lim and had been incontinent by himself, the current family members, including the parent Seaweed Father, are still quite friendly to themselves. However, this family is still the sworn enemy of the Ask faction led by Russell, the general backstage of the corrupt officials and corrupt officials of the Federation, although Lu Xi himself does not seem to be involved in the struggle between the Gate Valve faction and the Qing faction, but it is estimated that it is unlikely that he will be more than cold with this kind of "big bad family" in this life.
Even so, Lu Xi, who claims to be a tech nerd, is actually a realist at heart, and of course he can use a business smile on people he doesn't like without hesitation, and use it to take advantage of something or something.
After a short negotiation. Uncle Seaweed naturally has no reason to object, but is very enthusiastic but will not lose the courtesy and identity of the kind attitude. Welcome Lu Xi and his friends to board the Violet family's private float boat, the Unicorn.
The reason why it's friends. In addition to Lu Xi himself, the three-in-four sword doll Jianhao and the future Norda High Priest are naturally Lu Xi will follow wherever he goes, since this is the case, he simply brought Villager A and Villager B with him. Of course, since I, who was a teacher, had also left for a while, I simply brought Zhuoer Lori with me.
brought so many people on the boat to eat and drink, and Uncle Seaweed didn't seem to have any opinions at all.
Lu Xi originally thought that he would simply bring Lao Pa, who was the number one pet in the family, to see if Uncle Seaweed, who had a light smile on his face at that time, would have other reactions. However, this dead house "Snow Leopard" has just finished filling up tens of millions of words of "Protoss". Recently, I started to make up a novel called "Puppet Knight", and I was still lying in my pet room and watching the darkness, and I didn't even alarm it when the intruder entered, so I guess I didn't want to go out at this time. In addition, a snow leopard can actually speak in his mouth, but the soul of an ancient dragon is in his body, and this kind of thing is really not easy for outsiders to know.
"You're welcome, Major Lu Xi, you can also be regarded as the lifesaver of my nieces and nephews. And I'm just giving you a ride with the wind. In the face of Lu Xi's "heartfelt" thanks, Eamon? Wielanbart replied with a warm and natural attitude, and a affectionate and polite address. Almost every punctuation mark seems to be carefully designed. Let people who don't know see it, and really think that Lu Xi and the Laverhead family really have some inexplicable relationship.
Lu Xi knew that he had arrived at Elichar on the ship of the Seaweed Head family. The next day, it is estimated that rumors will circulate among the top echelons of federal politics, and it is estimated that within a month it will become "Archmage Orucello and Turner Home Secretary have a good conversation." "Archmage Aurucello criticizes the current policy of Minister of War Russell" or "Rainbow Island and the Violet family are preparing to marry" and other "gossip news" that sounds very fancy, but as long as it is a mature politician, he will never sit still when he hears it.
Lu Xi thought of this. began to ponder: in order to draw a clear line with the Seaweed Head faction, when he arrived at Elichar, should he find a reason to fight Uncle Seaweed on the dock, and if possible, simply dismantle the Unicorn under his feet. Then no one will think that there is any adultery between us, right?
But such a matter of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, even if it is against the seaweed family, I always feel that it hurts too much character.
Lu Xi said that he was indeed a little embarrassed, especially when he saw Uncle Seaweed so warm and polite hospitality, he was naturally even more entangled. This family is too polite to themselves, right? Wouldn't it be your family's eldest seaweed dad who takes a fancy to the ability and character of this young master, and he has to find me to be his son-in-law, right?
Wait a minute...... Door-to-door son-in-law?
Although thinking like this is always a bit of a suspicion of opening up the brain and having too much self-awareness, Lu Xi thought about it "rationally" and found that this really seemed to be the most logical possibility, and the muscles and nerves in his face suddenly began to stiffen.
No, no, no, if you really stiffen in front of this Uncle Seaweed, it will be too embarrassing, you have to be calm anyway. Thinking of this, Lu Xi quickly recovered his "gaffe" expression within 0.5 seconds, and still showed a business smile to Uncle Seaweed who was sitting opposite.
"Speaking of which, I originally thought that your Unicorn was a small yacht, and there should be no facilities in the open-air tea room." Lu Xi swept his surroundings. The sea of clouds spawned to the end of the horizon in the world outside the side of the ship, and then was gilded with brilliant gold by the sun. There was still a trace of white clouds in the blue sky, pushed by the breeze, like a spring flowing over the rocks and mountain walls suspended in the sea of clouds.
It's early summer in May, and it's indeed the most beautiful season of the year, and it's the best season in the sky. In such a season, sitting in the open-air restaurant on a floating boat and sipping a glass of wine accompanied by the surrounding blue sky and the vast white cloud sea is probably the favorite thing for the best people to do.
This is exactly what Lu Xi and Uncle Seaweed are currently doing. There is no way, since the host is warmly invited, he is an uninvited guest who eats and drinks and sits on the boat. It's always hard to refuse. Of course, even if someone opened a bottle of Glenlyxia, which was worth hundreds of golden miras, I was invited to drink with it. It's Uncle Seaweed who is wasted, anyway, Lu Xi still drinks heartily, and there is no psychological pressure at all.
"Because the Unicorn was designed and built by my brother. The interior design has been carefully and carefully planned, and it has also been treated with a certain amount of spatial magic. Uncle Seaweed smiled and said, "Didn't the Major notice that the rooms on the ship are all spacious?" ”
"Yes, if each guest room had half the size of the room you allotted to me, this ship would never have been that size." Lu smiled and said, "I was still puzzled at first, I didn't think it had been processed by space magic?" Looks like I'm lonely and unheard......"
Lu Xi is indeed "lonely". If the laws of space really dry out so easily, then the shipping industry all over the world has done the same. A small cargo ship tens of meters long can be stuffed with tens of thousands of tons of cargo after being processed by space magic, and the picture is intoxicating just thinking about it. But in fact. This kind of thing doesn't exist at all. And there are only two explanations why the unicorn under his feet is so unique, either the seaweed head family has mastered the secret meaning of the space class at the bottom of the family heirloom, or the secret treasure that carries the magic of space on the ship.
I'm really getting more and more interested in taking this ship apart and taking a look. Lu Xi thought.
"Speaking of which, this Unicorn also has a very sad past." Aemon put down the crystal cup, and his tone suddenly became low, as if he really fell into a sad memory: "Ten years ago, our sister, yes. That is, Duyd and Olga's aunt Cott Nori, and the eldest lady of the Charonin family, Tyron, duel on this ship in order to snatch a handsome young man. Obviously they are all such gentle and kind ladies. In the end, because of a love word, he chose such a choked path of no return. So, after a big battle, Catnelli was victorious. Miss Cylon's stomach is sliced open by the Stance Sword, and the young man smashes into the arena to stop the duel. I also took a step to pay attention to the head that was blown off, alas...... What a sad past! ”
"of. That's true. Lu Xi's mouth grew up, and it took a long time before he responded dryly. He really felt that the amount of information in the other party's words was too much, and it was worth digesting for a while.
What a sad past! But I always feel that something is wrong, and it seems to be messed up with a lot of strange plots...... In addition, what do you want to make trouble with such a private past when you tell me so openly that an outsider wants to make trouble? Do you want to sue me, the girls of your lazitou family have always had a tradition of blackening the sick girl in order to rob men?
After that, Catnelli took the young man's head and set sail on the newly completed Unicorn, supposedly preparing to sink herself with the remains of her lover. If it hadn't happened to meet the battleship Nacibia, which was also doing the maiden salute, it would have caused an even greater tragedy. ”
"Oh, that's a blessing in disguise." Lu Xi smiled dryly and agreed. He didn't want to know the follow-up development of this good ship incident that happened between the daughters of the two major gates of the Federation, nor did he want to know the ending of the sick aunt of the Seaweed Head family, so he quickly changed the topic stiffly: "Speaking of which, the first parade of the Nascibia battleship, the general flagship of the Federation's floating fleet, saved a tragedy, it is really a great good ship, worthy of the pride of the Federation Navy!" ”
"yes, I think so too. The battleship with the largest tonnage and firepower in the floating fleet, the culmination of shipbuilding in recent years, is indeed the pride of the Federation, and the greatest barrier we use to deter the undead of Henas and the orcs of the wasteland. When it came to military topics, Uncle Seaweed's tone was also a little more excited. It seems that even if he is a smiling black-bellied old fox, he still has a bit of a military house.
"But it's a pity. As the general flagship of the Federation fleet, this battleship has always been stationed in Elichar, and even if it was so anxious to fight with the Black Flag Wingers of the Namoa Mountains the year before last, it did not participate in the battle, so it did not make due achievements. Uncle Seaweed shook his head with pity on his face, and then smiled again: "However, this is fine." If it is the turn of the Nacibia, it will be a symbol of the Federation's entry into all-out war. ”
Lu Xi glanced at Aemon with some surprise? Wielanbat: "Oh? It sounds like Master Aemon is not in favor of a full-scale war on the Union, which doesn't seem to be in line with Brother Turner's thoughts. ”
"You misunderstood my brother. My brother is in favor of a limited war, and if he can eliminate the undead and orcs to the greatest extent in a certain range, and create enough time and opportunity for the Federation to completely digest the new territory of Black Mancheng and clear the Black Flag Wingers in the Namoya Mountains, it will be enough. Uncle Seaweed replied with a smile.
But the enemy is not obligated to act exactly according to your script. Lu Xi said in his heart. He was just about to say something, but he saw a huge opening in the sea of clouds at three o'clock, and a behemoth came out of the layers of clouds like mountains, and its body was still covered with a trace of white "foam", like a sea beast leaping out of the waves.
It was a huge floating battleship. Although it was far away, Lu Xi could somewhat judge the size of that thing, and compared with the unicorn he was riding, it was clear that the tuna was compared to the blue whale.
Lu Xi and Uncle Seaweed looked at each other, and they both saw undisguised surprise in each other's eyes.
Immediately after, more warships emerged from the sea of clouds, more or less smaller than the first one, but they were all formidable behemoths. The man-made sky beast that covered the sky and the sun suddenly showed its form in the sky above the sea of clouds. They circled around the first huge battleship, lined up in a neat and solemn procession, heading in the opposite direction of the Unicorn.
That's the eastern border, in the direction of the Namoa Mountains.
The huge five-masted hull, the paint that almost blends blue and sky into one, the bow of the bow of the Coolmaster that drags so much that it has no friends, and the six-pointed star flag on a blue background that represents the symbol of the general flagship of the Federal Navy fluttering in the wind on the top of the mainmast. Not the flagship of the Federation fleet, known as the pride of the Federation, but has never fought since its service, the battleship of the first rank Nacibia, but what?
There's really something big going on. Lu Xi looked at Uncle Seaweed with a surprised face, and secretly thought that he didn't expect this black-bellied middle-aged man to have the attribute of a crow's mouth, which is too subtle, right? (To be continued......)
