Chapter 1,133 The Imperial Family

In the Shadow City, I have seen enough of the bizarre high-tech fortresses and strange visitors from other worlds. I have seen armored scorpions that smell of rust and flutter in the wind for thirty miles to buy helium-3. I have watched the amazing movie directed and edited by Pandora. After the enthusiastic recruitment advertisement, Sakina and Sona finally walked into the portal and came to my house. Then the two of them saw the residence of the head of such a powerful empire, and they immediately... almost succumbed... Anyway, Saki Nana's expression seemed to be about to fade away.

Sakina looked at me with particularly subtle eyes, her head full of question marks looming, while Sona glanced around the living room before the portal behind her completely dissipated, and finally their eyes fell on me. On the body, Sona said tactfully: "Well...it seems that the living area of ​​the empire shouldn't be tight, right?"

Sakina was more outspoken: "His Majesty the Emperor lives here? Why is your living room not as big as the Crow Temple?"

"Well... the house is enough to live in, that's what I think anyway." I knew that both Sakina and Sona had this question, so I scratched my hair awkwardly, "As the saying goes, even if there are tens of millions of rooms to sleep in, It only needs to be two feet wide. If I wake up early and see the ceiling two meters away from me, I will feel like I have been exiled from the whole world..."

As soon as I finished speaking, Miss Lin's lazy and uplifting voice came from beside me: "Look at your potential, when I'm sleeping, I only feel like I'm exiled from the world when I see the ceiling within three meters of me. Woolen cloth."

Lin Xue showed up at my house as always, grabbing some food, and now she was leaning on the sofa without a trace. I was dangling with my bare feet on the armrest of the sofa and listened to Guo ○ Gang talking about Yu ○'s family on TV. I knew she was starting to talk nonsense again, so I said casually: "Then next time you go to sleep in the patio... Hey, you tricked Xiaoxue into listening to your father’s bragging again?”

If I remember correctly, Miss Lin is still in a state of grounding, but she can still appear in the living room with her meal accurately, and Xiaoxue's weird figure is not seen in her sight. It seems that there is only one truth: this is not The responsible teenage mother once again cheated her daughter without hesitation. This is where I started to sigh. What is the meaning of Lin's father and Lin's mother's grounding her...

"I promise to give her twice the pocket money after she is born - and by the way, I will try not to shout "Come on" when you beat her, and then the child will go to her grandpa in a mess," the eldest lady turned the page His eyelids glanced at me. Her eyes suddenly fell behind Sandora, and she spotted the arcane bean dangling like jelly, and she immediately let out a exclamation. "Hey, where did you get the slime?"

My thoughts were still stuck on the first half of her sentence: "I don't think I'm a person who likes to spank children. In the future, Xiaoxue must have learned something wrong and been educated all day long - you can't just spoil her and give her It's not good for a child to have too much pocket money... Oh, tell me this, this is not a slime, it is an elemental creature. The one I asked for from Alleria is a mysterious side 'robot'."

"I know that girl can't be spoiled. Anyway, she won't be able to make the decision once she's born. Hey. This slime can transform. It just turned into a chair - come on, let me see if it turns into a bicycle. "

You must have noticed that Lin Xue and I were discussing two topics in parallel at the same time. The eldest lady called this a non-linear conversation. In fact, it would be even better for me to chat with Qianqian. We can discuss more than a dozen topics at the same time without getting in touch with each other...

Sakina and Sona remained dumbfounded as they looked at me and Lin Xue talking nonsense. At this time, my sister stepped forward and said to the two half-dragon girls with a smile: "This is called non-linear dialogue. , just get used to it. Let’s eat first, there are not so many details here, everyone is welcome. Just relax as you did in the ancient garden. "

At this moment, I heard a somewhat childish cry from the side: "Gah~!", turned around and saw that the little crow was coming out of the kitchen with flour on her face - she might have just done a disservice. After seeing me, this stupid bird immediately rushed towards me with its arms fluttering as usual. I opened my hands with a smile - and then the little crow passed straight over my arm and pounced on the lady who was being treated by Miss Lin. On the teasing Arcane Bean, the latter made a squeaking sound and was knocked into a puddle of fluid by the little crow - it is said that this thing is an elemental creature formed from arcane energy, but no matter how I look at it, I feel that it is actually a piece of jelly .

"Master! Jelly! I ate it!" Little Devin happily hugged the arcane bean cubes that were trying to regain their shape. She had already taken a bite before I could stop her, and then there was only a crackling sound, and the stupid bird half Her face turned dark, but she didn't notice it. She still chewed it and muttered, "The taste is a bit numb and not delicious...it's not strawberry flavor...Mom! Here is electric flavored pudding!"

Anweina floated out of the kitchen holding a frying spoon. She saw Silly Bird holding a large ball of arcane energy and looking for a place to lower his mouth. She was frightened and suddenly several translucent ghost figures floated out of her body. , then rushed up and pulled the little crow out: "You can't eat this!"

The Arcane Bean that had been bitten by the little crow seemed to have just reacted at this moment. It swayed blankly on the spot for a few moments, and then Shi Shiran got into the shadow next to the sofa to repair his wounds: judging from this , the self-healing ability of elemental creatures does seem to be a little stronger than the self-disciplined machinery on the technological side... although the focus is not here now.

I brought this weird gadget home just for Qian Qian to play with it, but I didn’t expect it to be quite popular with my family. Even Huesca went up and poked it twice out of curiosity - even though it was the same She was a Xiling apostle, but she was a confused special case back then, and she only had technology-side units under her command, so she was probably not very familiar with the arcane bean curd.

As for Qianqian—she ran back to the room immediately after seeing Arcane Bean Ding. She didn’t immediately go up to poke and poke at this novel gadget. I was really curious about what new ideas she had. As a result, After a while, she jumped down the stairs in three or two steps, carefully holding her Brazilian tortoise in her hands...

Brazilian turtle, died. He was two and a half years old and died of arcane ablation of large areas of his body...

While Lilina was busy resurrecting the unlucky Brazilian turtle, Qian Qian said with a frustrated and distressed face: "I thought it was all water... I also planned to put the two tropical fish in Lilina's house. …”

"It would be better if you let those two unlucky things go." Lilina licked and licked the shell of the Brazilian turtle that had regained its vitality, carefully shoveling off the burnt parts. "Those two are not tropical fish, they are A new species cultivated by the goddess. She originally wanted to make two Bahamuts, but she didn't know how to finally get two tropical fish. Those two tropical fish can survive in the arcane environment..."

I rubbed Qian Qian's hair helplessly: "Forget it. It's my fault that I didn't stop you in time..."

But I want to say more - who would have thought that this girl would suddenly think that a slime could have a bastard in its body! And this thing is not a slime! And the Brazilian tortoise is not a bastard either! Those who only know how to poke slimes around or turn them into bicycles after seeing them are extremely weak compared to Qian Qian's thinking jumping ability!

Sakina couldn't help but come over to me while no one was paying attention, and whispered to me: "Is your house usually so lively?"

"Ah. You don't see how big our family is," I pointed at Qian Qian, who was studying how to put a can of cans into Arcane Bean Ding's belly, "and she is the only one left as the main force, and there is another one who is even more noisy. She was tricked by her mother into leaving, otherwise the world would be turned upside down now."

Sakina stuck out her tongue: "It's really different from what I imagined..."

I roughly know what scene Sakina imagined. She probably thought that when she went to the Imperial Emperor's house for dinner, she would definitely see a magnificent palace covering an area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters. Before entering, she would have to walk through the two-kilometer-long Imperial Guard of Honor. Walk through the middle, and then push open the door. There is a row of housekeepers on the left and a row of maids on the right. The emperor and his family are sitting on a pure gold throne half a kilometer away. There is a twenty-pound crown on your head. Before you speak, seven or eight etiquette officers will tell you about royal etiquette and the eighty honors and eighties of the empire. Then you will burn incense, bathe, change clothes, and prepare for the meal. Before the first dish is served, Find a beautiful girl who has strengthened the company to dance around the table. The meal starts at 7:30 and can be eaten until breakfast the next day... This is basically how the royal life in Sakina's head should be.

She would never have imagined that she would be in our world. The first dish at the emperor's house was pork stewed with vermicelli, and the noise of a bunch of princesses eating was as loud as animals fighting for a trough - Lilina and Xiaodeng could fight on the spot over two pieces of meat...

Of course, Sakina and the others knew about our family when they were on the home continent, but the former probably didn't expect us to be like this at home.

Anweina and Saeko quickly served a large table of dishes and invited everyone to sit down. Sakina and Sona were strangely confused from the beginning. By now, they have accepted that this setting is different from what they imagined at the beginning, and to be honest - this atmosphere makes the two half-dragon girls from poor families feel more relaxed.

The only thing that makes them a little nervous now is that Lin is sitting opposite them. The racial instinct of the soul induction makes the two of them a little bit unable to let go. Lilina also deliberately and exaggeratedly placed Dingdang in front of her eyes and clasped her hands together: "Thank you, Goddess. Give me pork stewed vermicelli..."

So Sakina and Sona were confused for a moment. They didn't know if this was the standard etiquette for believers to eat. They looked hesitantly at the Dragon God girl across the table. The latter felt something, raised her head and smiled naively: "Actually, the dish Saeko bought it..."

I quickly coughed twice: "Ahem...eat!"

The two half-dragon girls didn't know how to use chopsticks, and they couldn't carry cutlery with them when they went out. Fortunately, they were still used to using cutlery and forks, earthly cutlery with little technical content, so they didn't make a fool of themselves in this regard. This was the first time Sakina tasted the craftsmanship of the ghost maid. As soon as she took the first bite, she exclaimed: "Ah, this is delicious! What is this golden thing?"

I looked up and said, "Made from eggs, it turns golden brown after deep-frying."

"Egg...egg..." Sona's face suddenly became subtle, and the corners of her mouth twitched a little, "It feels so strange..."

"Um...you don't eat eggs?" Sister asked curiously.

Sona's face turned red: "Half-dragons lay eggs..."

Everyone: "..."

"Although there is no taboo against eating eggs, it's just that we generally don't eat them much," Sakina added. It seemed that she had no objection to the food on the table at all, "About one-third of the half-dragons don't like eggs very much, and the others have no feelings at all. Sona happens to be among that third."

I understood immediately, and then pointed to the little crow next to me who was concentrating on picking soybeans from the plate: "She doesn't eat eggs either, but she can't recognize them after they are made into dishes. Ultimately, it's a psychological problem. Hmm. , Sakina. Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

I found that Sakina was not sitting very conscientiously from the beginning, twisting and turning on the chair. At first, I thought she was not used to the higher seats on earth (actually it was to take care of some short winter melons at home) . Let them experience the feeling of being able to reach the table without a stack of books), but now Sakina's face is getting weirder and weirder.

"Um..." Sakina was a little embarrassed, "Is there a chair without a backrest? The tail... is numb."

I noticed Sakina's back silently. A big tail stuck straight up against her back because there was no room to place it. The tip of the tail dangled innocently above the head of the half-dragon girl... Well, there was a bow tied to the tip of her tail!

"Oh, wait." Anweina stood up and moved two chairs without backrests from the wall. "Sorry, I didn't expect it at first... these two chairs are just in use."

I recognized the two chairs, one was Yakumo blue and the other was Cirno's. For various obvious reasons, neither chair had a backrest. I have to say that it's lucky that the two of them went home to visit their relatives or work. Otherwise, I don't know how many subsequent situations will arise from this meal. There are already a lot of situations that have happened now!

This meal was very ups and downs, very frequent, very unique. It's full of imperial characteristics - I have to say, it's not an easy task to gather such a large group of creatures that are more or less different from humans at a table to have a meal. Sometimes I look around while eating. I can always find a sense of accomplishment: How do you think I maintain the three views of earthlings among this group of people?

After dinner, Sakina and the others originally wanted to rush back to Xinxiang, but in the end they were dragged back by their respective gods. Lin wanted to take this opportunity to check the fusion of Sakina and Dragon God. . The little crow, on the other hand, simply wanted to find someone to play with. Seeing this situation, the three of them didn't have to go back tonight, so my sister and Anweina went to the second floor to prepare a room for them, while I watched with interest as Qianqian and the others bullied the slime there...

Qian Qian was trying to turn a faucet on the latter, and it was obvious that she maintained an extremely firm misunderstanding of this soft "fluid" creature.

"By the way, would you like to give this little guy a name?" Lin Xue was also very interested in the arcane bean sprout. She patted the latter's body, "Why don't we just call him Xizhilang? It looks like jelly." of."

I felt that this name was very familiar, and I was stunned for a moment before I remembered that it was the association of Raven 001 after being beaten by Vega. In an instant, I didn’t know whether I should tell the eldest lady the truth...

But in the end, Arcane Doudin won the title of "Happy Man" and was promoted to Qian Qian's pet No. 76. The top ones include Qian Qian's Brazilian tortoise, Pikachu, and two autonomous machines. People, a unicorn, mini Sadako in the basement, Blackie, Little Bubbles, Little Crow, who died more than ten years ago but are still living in shallow memories, and a lot of weird things in Dingdang's laboratory creature, this girl’s spare time life is really colorful.

It just so happened that I took this opportunity to tell everyone about the current situation of Tianjie City, as well as the matter of Bella Vera, because according to the temperament of Qian Qian, Lin Xue and other lazy people, they themselves would definitely not have it. I have some free time to ask about these things.

Qian Qian finally figured out one thing: "Oh, it turns out this is not a slime."

Lin Xue is more or less reliable than Qian Qian. At least after listening to some knowledge about the mysterious side, she looked like she was concentrating on thinking, and quickly came up with her own ideas: "Hey, Mu Mu, have you discovered anything? The thing - the mysterious side seems to be more in line with the power forms of me, Qianqian and Sister Chen Qian?"

I nodded matter-of-factly: "Of course, you three were apostles of the mysterious system in your previous life, and my sister was the number one conjurer in the empire."

"Do you still remember a project that Tavel has been working on?" Lin Xue squatted on the armrest of the sofa with bare feet, and her upper body fell towards me. "She tried to use imperial equipment to copy our special powers. Currently, only the ones that are widely used are The energy skimmer imitated based on your power, and the parsec device which is still experimental equipment, as for my prophecy ability and Sister Chen Qian’s curse ability, there is still no way to imitate it..."

I stretched out my hand to catch the eldest lady who was making mischief (she was not afraid of me, so she dared not to pick it up - although I really didn’t dare), and said thoughtfully: "You mean..."

"Perhaps the reason for Tavel's slow progress is that the field is wrong. It would be easier to reproduce our power with mystical technology. Recently, hasn't she established several joint teams? Xiling technicians and mystics are working together to study those "Mysterious technology, etc., you ask her to hand over those slow-progressing projects to the new team for a try," Lin Xue said, "Look, our biggest problem now is that the advanced technology of the mysterious system cannot be directly applied. Apostles will not be able to evolve for a while. A high-level apostle at the level of Qianqian and I, that is, the level of three hundred commanders, may not be produced for many years. But if the research already done in Tavel Basically, turn part of our strength into mass-produced equipment and apply it to warships and even individual soldiers..."
