Xiling Empire

Chapter 675: Happy Interlude

The void is endless, the realms are vast, the worlds are as countless as stars, and this endless world is filled with countless magical lives.

The Department of Creation at Starfield Divine Tribe Public College is a course that tests creativity and imagination the most among all disciplines. Students who graduate from this department all have amazing innovative spirit and courage to try. Their energy will always be With abundant imagination, he can always use the most magical techniques to create the most magnificent world and life...

Of course, please let us forget about the ten thousand-year-old crane tail who has taken tens of thousands of re-examinations and even had his class teacher changed twice and the creation textbooks have been revised three times, but he has not even passed the elementary creation certificate.

There is no other meaning in making such a sigh. I just suddenly felt that creating a magical race like Biberu really requires imagination.

Fina is not a person who likes to be lively. Although the life of quietly thinking alone on the Iron Throne all year round has eradicated her feelings, it has also made the girl develop the habit of being alone. Even if she comes to participate in the carnival on a whim, She also looked for places where no one would disturb her, and found a bench where there was no one around, and sat there quietly watching other people party. This was what Fina wanted to do.

So, a few of us collectively headed towards Sylvia's shop - the slow-and-half-beat quiet area created by the silver-haired mole using its own slow-half-beat halo is really the most suitable and quiet place in such a noisy season. Moreover, opposite her shop is the Carnival Square. There is only a military barrier field in the middle, which does not affect Fina's viewing of the celebration at all.

Although I really don’t know what’s so exciting about watching a bunch of strange visitors from another world in the Hundred Ghost Night Parade while I’m in a daze with a big iron ball weighing several tons.

"Boom, boom, boom", the heavy metal ball rolled on the main road of the reinforced alloy cast in Shadow City, but now it was no longer Fina who was pushing the ball: although watching the three-no girl pushing a big iron ball, Hey Hei Moving forward is a lot of fun, but the child's mother has taken over Biberu's mobile assistance work with even greater enthusiasm. The little loli, who is only a little over one meter long, seems to be quite happy pushing the big iron ball forward.

"I said, Biberu, people of your clan can't move if they catch a cold. In this case, wouldn't a cold become a very serious matter for you?"

"That's right, your great Majesty," Biberu replied in a muffled voice amidst the rumbling sounds. The place with "正" written on it moved back and forth in front of my eyes. "The cold will make our family lose the ability to move. But it does not affect our use of electromagnetic effects and field effects to control things around us, so colds are also called grounded foot disease. This is a very troublesome disease, usually caused by anti-gravity organ dormancy caused by acclimatization. In my hometown, There is a 'Sararu' who specializes in assisting tribesmen suffering from colds to move, that is, rolling assistants..."

Oh oh oh, should I just sigh decisively at this time and say how wonderful the world is?

"Sylvia! Let's eat cake~~"

A few minutes later, the four of us arrived at the Xiaoxi Dessert Shop located on the isolation line of the military control zone. Standing at the door, I said hello loudly and proudly.

The door opened, and what rushed out was a little silver-haired Goth girl: the mercury lamp hit my chest with a "dong" sound, then climbed up the pole to the throne that belonged to her on her shoulders, and hugged me. The head was pulled back and forth.

Following the naughty mercury lamp, there were several other bouncing doll girls, and then Qian Qian's little head came out of the store: "Ajun~!~!"

"Are you all here?"

I was surprised for a moment, and then stared dumbfoundedly as I watched familiar people emerge from Sylvia’s shop—how ​​dare these guys come here to find some peace and quiet?

"Ah, it's Chen -" Sylvia's voice was the last one to ring. The silver-haired girl wearing an apron who looked like she was preparing desserts came out of the shop in her usual slow-down style, and then glanced at He saw the big iron ball being tossed back and forth by Bubbles, causing the ground to tremble slightly, "Mr. Iron Ball, do you want some coffee too?"

As expected of Emperor Xiling, it can be seen at a glance that this is a living object, but what is going on with this dumb way of greeting?

"Well, please don't bother, I can just replenish the solar energy here."

Bibulu replied dully, while Bubble turned the former in a small half circle, pointed at a red patch on Bibulu's body that had been mostly worn away, and introduced to everyone: "This is the front! "

"Oh." Sylvia agreed dazedly, took out the marker used to write signs at the door of the store, stepped forward and wrote a big straight character. After thinking about it, she stood on tiptoes and looked at the honest and loyal Prime Minister. The word "上" is written on the head.

A prime minister, thanks to the people of Biberu's clan who are very slow to deal with certain emotional issues, otherwise he would have burst into tears at this time, right?

Due to his size, Bibulu could only park in front of the dessert shop. Sylvia's shop couldn't accommodate such a big guy, but the former had no objection to it. People of his family liked to go there most in their free time. Outdoor supplementary solar energy, in Biberu's memory, "the silver square filled with large and small iron balls in the leisure afternoon" has always been a beautiful scenery...

"Wow, you are so lively!"

After following Sylvia into the small candy house, I couldn't help but exclaim.

The small shop, which originally had only a dozen square meters of open space, is now crowded with all of our family, Qianqian, sister-sama, Sandora, myself, Anweina, Paopao, not counting these. There were five dolls jumping and running around among everyone's legs, and Mercury Lamp was sitting on my shoulder directing the hide-and-seek game between Canary and Emerald Star. They looked like Toy Story. , making the small store look very lively. Next to her, Pandora was sitting quietly on the sofa chair, seeming to want to enter the standby state. However, the dishonest Visca beside her kept trying to tear off the stickers on the window. Pandora had to keep a knife at hand to keep her troublesome sister at bay. After a while of silence, Little Bubble climbed to the top of the candy counter without knowing it. The little guy seemed to want to steal a box of chocolates from there. This dangerous move frightened the mother Shining below, and the unlucky nanny Wang had to Holding the Seven-Sky Ring filled with cotton and feathers, he ran around below, naturally occupying a large space. Gaia, standing in the middle, looked at the circle of unscrupulous empire officials. It's noisy, I'm afraid it's been loading from beginning to end.

These few can be counted as one group, and the other group is the Star Territory God Clan. The Star Territory God Clan headed by Bingtis arrogantly occupied the largest round table prepared for the guests in the south, and one person occupied a bunch of Cakes and desserts, eating and drinking for free, they were still telling interesting stories about the mortals in their respective worlds. Ilson just mentioned how simple the folk customs of the world he manages are and how hard-working the mortals are. Over there, Bingtis said: Folk customs Simplicity has its uses. All the people I rule can fight from the age of three, and must join the Boy Scouts from the age of six. In the past, there was a mortal named Kratos who killed all the local false gods...

Then Kense nodded repeatedly: "Very good, very good."

Lin huddled in the sofa chair, looking like she was being bullied and didn't dare to raise her head: looking at this, she must have broken something again in the past half hour.

"Everyone is here," Sylvia said slowly, with a happy and warm smile on her face, "It's so lively today, ah, who wanted coffee just now?"

My sister from far away raised the coffee cup in her hand: "We have brewed it ourselves..."

Although I don’t know how these people who wandered around separately early in the morning finally got together, it’s a surprise that everyone is here. And how can I put it, Sylvia, an idiot, opened such a place in a military controlled area? It’s not easy for a store to be so lively.

After returning to the indoor environment and among everyone, Anweina also looked relieved, and then immediately returned to work, busy helping Sylvia prepare desserts, etc., while Fina was pulled by me to talk to her sister and the others. Sit together.

After meeting, we naturally first talked about our morning sightseeing. I painfully told everyone about my experience of being dragged to listen to the chorus of ten thousand *** after meeting Miku and Misaka. Then I expressed very optimistically that now Iori Yagami and his ilk should still be wandering in the ocean of "Pi" in the auditorium, unable to extricate themselves, Qianqian began to show me the results of her shopping, such as those five-yuan three-piece flying swords and the rainbow-colored Danger The smell of bread, and Sandora happily told me that she found a big eater competition with no limit on competition time. This girl only came here after getting up early and eating until she met her sister at noon. Her Majesty the Queen said It brought tears to my eyes: "It was such a hearty competition, but it's a pity that even the judges ran away in the end."

I guess it was the unlucky judges who suddenly discovered that there was no edible substance left in the competition except themselves, right?

"Fina, tell me what you think. How about a celebration like this?"

My sister looked at Fina, who had been listening quietly without saying a word, and asked with a smile.

"A valuable learning opportunity," Fina thought for a moment and answered seriously. "The pan-galactic civilization community initially felt at a loss during such a celebration. Apart from various weapon displays, we could not prepare any celebrations. For a long time Since then, the people of the community have had no time to care about anything other than fighting and survival. Our cultural system has developed seriously deformed, with no artistic or spiritual achievements at all, let alone how festivals should be held in peaceful times. The vast majority of the community people even Even the celebrations in our home world have been completely forgotten. After peace returned, our people found that they no longer knew how to enjoy peace. Therefore, this festival is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us. Perhaps, we can learn from it Relearn something that I have forgotten for a long time. Well, overall, this celebration is valuable."

Fina's honest attitude made us somewhat embarrassed. It was somewhat inappropriate to talk about this topic at this time, but we knew that this was Fina's frank performance, so no one said anything.

"Ah, how to have fun," Sandora broke the silence and said thoughtfully, "Actually, from this point of view, we are the same as you."

Fina turned her gaze to Sandora. Her thoughts could not be seen in her dull expression, but there should be a hint of confusion in her eyes.

"Apostle Xiling doesn't know what entertainment is," Sandora smiled. "The social activities of the old empire are simpler than your community. The five elements of birth, command, obedience, battle, and death make up the vast majority. In the life of Apostle Xiling, we did not engage in entertainment. The only celebration was the triumphal military exercise. We had no art. Even the occasional decorations on the battleships were just to show force. We did not understand leisure unless it was for the next battle. To accumulate energy, more than 90% of Xiling apostles spend their lives in this situation. Now think about it, it was a really boring life. You have forgotten how to have fun after a long time, but we have There is no such thing.”

"That's why this girl, Bubble, is so interested in the two-dimensional world invented by humans," I took over Sandora's words and gently stroked Bubble's head, "Even though the technology of Xiling Apostle is so advanced, They don’t even have the basics in entertainment, and they’re even surprised to see Tetris.”

"Yeah!" Paopao nodded repeatedly, fully agreeing with this evaluation, "At that time, I really thought it was a very magical thing. Although I have come into contact with many ordinary civilizations in my memory, but I was still immersed in the things they created. It was the first time and I was hooked right away~~~”

So can you explain to me how you evolved from a pure Tetris player to the point where you are now a master of all five poisons, a homebody and a corrupt person?

"It was Arjun who changed everything." Shandora suddenly sighed, and I was confused: Is there anything else about us?

"If a human like Arjun hadn't intervened at the highest level of the empire, we would never have taken the initiative to come into contact with these things that we once regarded as 'worthless and highly wasteful'. The social structure and way of thinking of the Xiling Apostles are too solid. Except for things that are meaningful for racial expansion, we refuse to accept the knowledge of any ordinary race. This exclusion...you will not understand unless you are in a society with Xiling authority."

"So the child's father has brought us everything now," Paopao jumped into my arms with his legs, "The Xiling Apostle is such a creature. The thoughts of the Supreme Head of State can almost determine the likes and dislikes of the entire race, so the child Her dad brought us movies, anime, novels, games, galgames, and eroge..."

I just threw her out.

Although we can ignore Bubbles’ behavior of talking nonsense, Sandora’s words still touched me deeply.

The once cold, cruel Apostle of Xiling, who only knew war and death, has undergone such earth-shaking changes after his highest authority became a human being. In the short term, we cannot judge whether this change is good or bad, but only Under the current situation, the Xiling Empire has turned around from the tyrant civilization in the past that made people shudder and even made its own people tremble. Having more humanity and vitality will not change their underlying qualities such as loyalty, efficiency, and tenacity, but it will indeed improve their affinity with other races. At the very least, in the old empire era, people like Macro World, who are not as powerful as Macro World, It is impossible to establish a huge network of power that relies solely on iron-fisted rule and the cohesion of the empire: the ruling areas of the old empire had only slaves and no citizens.

Perhaps this change is really, as Bellavilla said, to make up for the only racial shortcoming of the Xiling Apostles in the past.

"Everyone, eat cake~~"

Sylvia's cheerful but still slow call interrupted my thinking. The former emperor, who had completely returned to the countryside, was wearing an apron and was just like a housewife, eating and drinking for us. The guy served the cake that he made by himself. Behind her, Anweina, who was helping, was performing the secret skill of the best maid in the world: how to use the ribbon on the back of the maid uniform to carry twelve plates of cakes smoothly to the master at the same time. before.

This is such a meaningless skill!

Although her reaction time is frighteningly slow, Sylvia magically has several specialties, and making various candies and desserts is one of them.

Perhaps it’s because of her slow-moving personality that Sylvia will be more dedicated than ordinary people when doing something that requires concentration. I’ve seen the energy she puts into decorating a cake. : Two bubble makers who came to buy chocolate were left to dry for half an hour. Maybe Sylvia is not slow to react, but is usually too focused on her own little world.

"They are all very ordinary snacks~~~ But with my top-secret formula~~ they are not greasy at all~~" Sylvia placed plates of attractive-looking dry cakes on the table, The aroma of the food attracted the five-person group of protoss *** over there. Under the call of the gangster Bingtis, a group of troublemakers even moved the table to join us - well, anyway Sylvia didn't care.

A small head came from under his arm. Viska tried to grab a piece of cake from it and eat it while no one was paying attention. As a result, Pandora hit him back with a knife, while the elusive Little Bubble with Max Skills was already gone. She held a piece of strawberry cake and started to eat it, her face was covered with cream. The mother over there didn't notice it yet, she was still holding up a petal shield and waiting for the little bubbles on the counter to fall...

"Then this," Sylvia placed a special large plate in front of us. Unlike other desserts, this large plate also had a metal cover on it, blocking our prying eyes. Obviously , this is the final thing, "My proud work~~ I tried it many times before, but I finally succeeded today~~"

Even Sylvia, who has always been calm and calm, can praise a plate of pastries with such a proud tone. We immediately became curious about this thing that was covered by a metal cover like a big meal.

"I'll open it, I'll open it~!~!" Sandora was the first to put her hand on the cover, with a very happy expression, "What will it look like..."

The mercury lamp seemed to have discovered something. It jumped off my shoulder, ran over the table, put its ear to the lid, and immediately yelled and reported to this side: "You stupid human being, I think you heard a sound inside."

Sandora was stunned for a moment and took off the lid.

Everyone: "..."

There were two things on the plate: a big cake that was full of holes and looked like cheese, and a Dingdang with a round belly and covered in cream, who was stuffing a small lump of snack into his mouth.
