12. Meeting, Dance Party (xxvi)

Once the enthusiasm is overdone, it can cause problems for others.

Roland and his party were deeply grasping the profound philosophy behind this quaint saying, surrounded by the enthusiastic crowd of Plymouth, surrounded by a dazzling array of goods and shouts, and a wave of dizziness churned in their heads.

"Let's have some french fries!

"What a foolish thing to say, when you get to Albion, how can you not eat fried fish? This is a genuine local dish!"

"Freshly baked scones, look. It's still hot!"

"Try our store's Stargazing Pie!"

"The service of the girl in our store is very gentle!"

"Our bathhouse offers a variety of soap picking programs!"

This enthusiasm ...... No matter from what point of view, there is a suspicion of excess, although customer service is the basic of merchants, and a port city like this also has a strong business atmosphere, but Roland still feels that they can't afford it.

Not to mention that Gloria and Diana had no appetite because of seasickness, and Roland, who was feeling a little hungry, smelled the strong fishy and greasy smell and dispelled the idea of trying it.

Compared with Li Lin's murderous dishes that can kill people if they smell it, these things may not be nothing, but the plates brought by the vendors, the beetroot pickled tofu in the basin, the king cake, the Albion stream Britannian crepes, scones and the like, just by looking at them, made Roland have the urge to hit the wall. As for the stargazing faction that obviously has the style of neon manga artist Junji Ito...... It's one thing to be unpalatable when cooking, but it's not just about elevating cooking to terrifying heights. It's another thing to have a taste that's hard to swallow.

It is not easy to take a step back and try to abandon the foodie mentality of mainland residents who "live to eat" and learn the brave spirit of "eating to live" of the people of Albiang. As Li Lin said, sometimes quantity is also a quality, and eating too much of the world-famous Albiang dark cuisine is also a big test for the stomach of foodies. As for the lady service and picking up soap...... God is pitiful, as an absolutely heterosexual, potential wife with a strict physique, Roland will never think about those things for the sake of his physical and mental health.

"Oh my God. ”

Gloria covered her forehead and muttered:

"Do the people of Albion eat this kind of thing every day?"

Although Gloria is not the daughter of a big family, before she met Roland, she lived on coarse tea and light food, but even rye bread. In terms of appearance, it is also more pleasing to the eye than these hunting foods.

The noisy dock fell silent in an instant. The vendors stared at Roland and his party, and their focused gazes were not as enthusiastic as before.

There are many unwritten taboos among the people of Albion, such as "you are not allowed to speak ill of the queen", "chat starts with the weather", etc., and one of them is "to say that the food is unpalatable". If the other party is Charlemagne. It's even more taboo.

The history of hostility between the two countries goes back hundreds of years. Due to the long history, the people of Albion can be superior to Charlemagne in many ways, such as the Battle of Agincourt, the belonging of Brittany, and so on. Only in terms of eating, I can't raise my head at all. Despised by Charlemagne for hundreds of years, bearing Charlemagne's bad evaluation that "in addition to boiling Aruban sweet potatoes, it is fried fish, otherwise it is boiling Aruban sweet potatoes with fried fish", and after being the base camp of dark cuisine for hundreds of years, "diet" has become a landmine that must not be stepped on in the hearts of the people of Albian.

"This ...... This is the greatest insult to us Albians. ”

Several of the vendors put on "I'm upset" expressions, and Gloria's speech not only stepped on their tails, but also ran over them. Whether it's a customer or not, this behavior is already excessive.

"If you can't come up with any explanation, compensation, or a meal that satisfies us, please row your own boat back to Charlemagne!"

——?!"Hey, he

As soon as they set foot on a foreign land, the teenagers and girls had no time to sigh more and plan for the future, and the sorrow resounded in the sky.

#########

A gray carriage galloped down the road, and the smoke and dust raised could be seen from afar, and the pedestrians covered their mouths and noses to retreat to both sides of the road, and the whistling of wheels and horses' hooves carried the smoke and dust past, and cursed twice at the carriage that had no public morality, and everyone began to hurry again.

Horse-drawn carriages speeding on the road connecting Cornwall and Lundinum are not uncommon, and all sorts of goods from the port can only gain some advantage in the fierce competition if they are delivered to the capital's market first. Despite the series of traffic accidents caused by this, people will always selectively forget those bloody lessons in the face of real money profits.

Most of the gray carriages that passed just now are also a virtue, for a little money, running wild like a bull in heat, sooner or later it will pay a price.

The pedestrians muttered like this, and in the blink of an eye, they left the little unhappiness behind them and continued their journey.

The gray carriage does not care about the eyes of others, it is pulled by 4 horses, and its appearance is similar to standard travel specifications, but it is actually made of special alloy and tempered glass, and contains a special modified model of various organs and weapons, and its performance is better than that of the active combat transport carriages of the armies of various countries. In addition, it is equipped with a very strong guard, and even in the event of an emergency, the passengers in the carriage can escape with their whole body.

However, these security measures are a bit redundant for passengers sitting in the carriage.

"The blockade of the coastline is really tight, and if you hadn't prepared for it, it would have been a bit troublesome. ”

Shaking the teacup with the bumps caused by driving on the trail, not letting a drop of Darjeeling spill the cup, Li Lin looked comfortable.

Albion's blockade system is quite perfect, and even the reef-ridden Lizard Point is equipped with lighthouses, lookout posts, and regularly patrolling flying beasts, and it will not be easy to get to the island nation without first arriving in a submarine and then diving to land from the reef area.

In fact, as long as Li Lin has that intention, it is not impossible to land anytime and anywhere without anyone noticing, and even swagger with a group of floating warships to break through Albiang's air defense, rush into the sky over Lundinum and launch cruise guided rockets, turning Albiang's capital into a sea of fire. The reason why I chose such a troublesome way is mainly because I plan to train my navy more. At the moment, V.E and Albion are still allies, but there is no guarantee that this relationship will be maintained forever, and the contradictions between the two sides will one day outweigh the common interests. In order to have an advantage in the event of war, the necessary hydrographic surveys, navigational and latent training are essential, and by the way, it can also add a little freshness to the "Legend of the Sea Monster", and then strengthen the control of Charlemagne's maritime trade.

Finally, this little arrangement has a little bit of an addition.

"So, how is the search for the target going now?"

Shaking the teacup, Li Lin asked casually. (To be continued......)
