Chapter 485: Foreign Aid?
Don and the others got into a dragon cart and left Hellholm.
The Earth Dragon is worthy of being a special magical beast that the Rennes Empire restricts exports, not only is it fast, but it is also very smooth - of course, the more important reason for this is the shock absorption technology on the body, at least you don't have to suffer anymore when you sit in the car.
On the plains, when the roads are good, the speed of the horse-drawn carriage will reach 20-30 kilometers per hour, while the speed of the Dixinglong can reach between 40-50 kilometers per hour, which is already comparable to a small car, of course, the force of the car is certainly not as high as the dragon car.
Olena couldn't help but say: "Count Donne, the road is very flat and empty now, you don't need to drive, you can come in too, it's windy outside......"
In order to act secretly, Don did not ask for a coachman, but played the role of a coachman himself.
Queen Olena is very reluctant to go, now the only thing their mother and daughter can rely on is Donne, and now they want someone to act as a coachman, which is too much.
Tang En said indifferently: "Your Highness the Empress, do you think I will care about this little wind?" You still need to pay attention to me, after all, it's still cold outside. β
When the dragon car was driving at high speed, the oncoming cold wind was very biting, and of course Tang En's strength didn't care, if it was Olena, it would be enough to choke.
Olena opened her mouth, and had the intention of letting Aurelia drive the dragon car instead of Don, but in her heart, Don didn't know Aurelia's strength, and if it was exposed, I was afraid it would be more troublesome.
Olena closed her mouth with guilt, she and Aurelia occupied the seat on one side, and the graceful queen could only take off her shoes at this time, wrapped in a blanket and huddled in the corner of the sofa with a gloomy face, staring at her white and red toes in a daze.
Aurelia looked at Donn's back in a daze, her mood was even more complicated at the moment, obviously he had done such and such things to himself, leaving such a humiliating past, but now he had to rely on him and trust him.
Aurelia doesn't know what kind of feelings she has for Don now - especially after her father's death and Girard's coronation, the collapse of her relationship and the catharsis of Don make Aurelia subconsciously rely on him.
She herself resisted this feeling, but her instinct was still longing for Donn's protection, and only here, only by his side, could she gain some security.
After a half-day drive east from Haildholm, they entered the Matar Forest, where the road was very troublesome, so they chose to turn north along the official road.
They didn't stop all the way, and they only refueled the drinking water in the villages and towns they passed by, let the Earth Walking Dragon rest a little, and then continued to set off until late at night, when the Earth Walking Dragon began to breathe, and at this time there were no villages nearby, so they could only choose to camp.
Fortunately, Tang En was there, and the two of them didn't have to worry about sleeping in the wilderness, next to the official road, Tang En cast a spell and pinched out a square stone house in minutes.
The cold was sheltered by the stone house, and after lighting the bonfire, the inside of the stone house quickly warmed up, and Tang Eun quickly took out the dishes and began to cook.
Staring at Donn's movements, Olena and Aurelia mother and daughter were both a little embarrassed, although Illuth had declined, but after all, they were from the royal family, and they had never done such a thing before.
Now that they are no longer queens and princesses, they are still being taken care of like this, and the embarrassment makes Olena fidget, and she can't help but get up and say, "Let me help too." β
"Huh? All right. β
Tang En nodded briskly: "After the water boils, just put the cereal in and cook it, these are the vegetables and meat that are ready to be fried at night, just cut it a little, I'll feed the Dixinglong, and then stir-fry the vegetables when I come back." β
After saying that, Tang En went out, leaving the mother and daughter with a blank face.
ββ¦β¦ Ollie, do you chop vegetables? β
Aurelia stiffened her neck and twisted her head to look at her mother, "...... No, it should be similar to cutting people, right? β
"Don't talk about such a terrible topic!"
Olena couldn't help but shudder for a moment, and then picked up the kitchen knife tremblingly: "I remember that the maids seem to do this......"
Tang En, who was feeding the dragons outside, didn't think about the fact that they couldn't cook at all, he subconsciously felt that women could cook somewhat, and Queen Olena took the initiative to ask for help, she must have confidence, so she didn't pay attention to it.
"Eat, run hard tomorrow when you're full."
Don touched the head of the Earth Dragon, and the Earth Dragon hummed very comfortably and rubbed against him.
Tang En couldn't help laughing: "Obviously, we just met today, but it's quite close to me, is it because of this body?" But****...... Bypass me. β
As he was talking, a scream suddenly came from inside the stone house, Tang En was stunned, and instantly rushed into the house: "What's wrong!?" β
Then, he saw Empress Olena clutching her hands with teary eyes, and Aurelia scrambled through her luggage for herbs.
"Got it? Let me see. β
Tang En was very surprised, she opened her hand and saw a deep wound, and then looked at the crooked vegetables, Tang En silently withdrew his gaze: "Is it possible...... Her Royal Highness doesn't know how to cook? β
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang En couldn't help but knock on his head, although they are all women, but they are pampered queens, and it is natural that they can't cook, right?
"I'm sorry, I was negligent."
Don sighed, this little wound didn't need to harass Nora, he took out a bottle of life potion and handed it to Olena: "Take a sip." β
Olena only hesitated for a moment, then took a small sip, and then she felt a warm stream of heat spread rapidly, gathering on the wound in the blink of an eye, and then the wound healed quickly.
Aurelia breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sit down and rest, and leave it to me."
Don pointed to the chair next to her, and Olena blushed and sat back silently.
Now she realized how useless she was if she stripped off the aura of the queen.
Watching Don Marry chop, stir-fry, and cook porridge, Olena and her daughter once again fell into an unspeakable silence.
"Eat."
Tang En served the meal, called the two of them, and then began to eat it himself.
The mother and daughter looked at the fragrant food in front of them, and then at the two small sticks, and were at a loss again.
"Eat, what's ...... Don't tell me you haven't learned how to use chopsticks yet......"
The two shook their heads.
"I'm really ...... Forget it, when I didn't say it. β
Don sighed, he had everything in his pocket, except for the knives and forks.
He took out an iron ingot, and transparent alchemy flames gushed out from his palm, and the iron ingot was pinched into two sets of knives and forks.
The two of them had eaten.
While eating, Tang En said, "At today's rate, we still have about four to five days to go, which will be a little earlier than expected, and I hope that nothing will happen to your grandfather in these days." β
"Grandpa Nitro is very good, if he heard the news from our side, he would definitely not make a statement."
Aurelia was confident in that.
Olena swallowed the food in her mouth and wiped her mouth very dignified before she said, "Uncle Nitro, he is not such a foolish person, and I believe he cares more about the truth than I do. β
Donn nodded: "If he can join Ellington's camp, we will have the capital to fight Girard." β
Hearing Don say this, Olina hesitated for a moment and whispered, "It's better to ...... I'm going to ask my brother for help? β
Tang En raised his eyebrows: "Her Royal Highness's brother? β
Olenna's brother is Oscar, the king of Ronitant, who used to dot on his sister very much, and if it was Olena's request, he might really have a chance.
But......
"Forget it."
Don shook his head: "Although it is reasonable to say, but politically, Gilard's matter belongs to the internal problems of Illus, once the internal problems are interfered with by other countries, the situation will be a lot more troublesome, I believe that Her Royal Highness the Queen was also very clear about this when she married Victor, I believe that your brother may be very much looking forward to your request for help now, this is a legitimate opportunity to strengthen himself." β
Ronitant has always existed as a merchant kingdom and is militarily weak, but if there is a chance to gain more territory, Don believes that Oscar will not mind preparing some more troops to fish in troubled waters.
Don't say anything about brother-sister affection, in politics, there are only interests, cold and ruthless interests, even if Oscar re-supports Olena to become the queen of Ilrus, it is also to let Ronny Tante get greater benefits.
"Don't think about that, the internal problems of Ilrus will be left to us to solve, and they must be solved as soon as possible."
Don drank all the cereal porridge in one gulp, and then said, "If the chaos continues, it will eventually turn into a large-scale war, and I don't want that. β
Large-scale wars meant a large number of deaths, and the depopulation was very detrimental to Donn's ultimate mission, which he had to try to avoid.
With the support of Lord Nitro, you can gain more recognition in the hearts of the people of the Ilrus Empire, and the princess, queen, and even the uncle of the former king are on Ellington's side, and even those who believe in Girard's words will subconsciously doubt the truth of coronation day.
As long as this goal is achieved, when the time comes to reveal the true truth, there will be no resistance from the people.
Olena nodded silently, giving up her previous naΓ―ve thoughts.
After dinner, Don took out a set of bedding and threw himself on the stone bed: "Sleep, although it is not as good as the velvet of the palace, it is only in such conditions in the wild." β
"What about you?"
Aurelia shrunk her neck, and Don only took out a set of futon, did he want to...... (To be continued.) )
