193. The life of the dwarves in Xinliu Valley
I came to the gate of the Prince's Mansion on the shore of Weiyang Lake in the first block, and bypassed the bronze statue standing at the gate. As I stepped up the stone steps, the gate in front of me was opened from the inside by the waiters of the palace. They stood beside the wall at the door and saluted me respectfully. I nodded slightly to the two waiters, and then quickly walked into the courtyard.
Stepping on the stone slabs filled with fallen leaves, rustling sounds, I walked to the fountain in the square in front of the castle, and saw Prince James's gorgeous magic caravan parked in front of the castle, and a group of attendants in the castle were unloading the saddle for a group of black horses.
There is a row of stables built on the left side of the castle. Some waiters have already led the war horses into the stables. Some waiters have walked to the backyard with heavy saddles. Seeing these waiters chatting and laughing in a low voice, my heart is slightly relieved. By the fountain, the servants who are busy unloading their saddles salutes salutes to me one after another.
Two heavily armored knights guarded the entrance of the castle. When I saw me walking to the entrance of the castle, I raised the spear in my hand to block my way.
At this time, the side door of the castle was pushed open, and Helena and Ying Li came out from inside. Ying Li held the corners of the long skirt in both hands and ran to me, asking me in surprise: "Why are you here? Didn't you say you were going to buy some chopping boards in the blacksmith shop today?"
Before I could answer, a bare pebbles fell from the castle and rolled to the feet of Ying Li and me. We fled and looked up and looked up. We found Le Die leaning out of the window of the high attic, waving to me and Ying Li. Her long golden hair was draped over her shoulders, wearing only a suspender nightgown, waving her ivory-like round arms, greeting me from a distance, and I waved to her.
Ying Li took my arm and walked into the castle with me. This time the two knights of the construction did not stop them anymore.
We walked around the main entrance hall of the castle and walked directly through a corridor and two reception rooms from the side door. Ying Li took me to the second floor of the castle. On the way, we would salute Ying Li and me respectfully. I asked her, "Do you usually treat me like this when you see you?"
"Well, these maids have received palace etiquette training. They usually treat them as natural as saying hello, so you can just understand them as 'a polite greeting you'. Don't care too much, or smile at them. It's better not to let them think you have anything special to her." Ying Li whispered in my ear.
I thrust a thunderous thunder on Ying Li's forehead. Ying Li covered her head and stomped me hard. This made Helena, who was following behind her, giggle, but she did not stick to the other side of me and hold my left arm as usual, but followed me and Ying Li obediently.
Ying Li took me to a locker room on the second floor. Helena squatted beside me, took off my long leather boots, changed into comfortable and soft flat soft shoes, and took a wet towel to wipe my face.
Ying Li sat on the chair beside him and asked me strangely: "I don't know how difficult it is to invite you to have dinner. Why did you run over today?"
Helena hung my magic robe on the hanger. I only wore a white silk shirt and blue bloomers. She said to Ying Li: "Well, nothing. I heard that His Highness the Prince is about to return from the Kenda plane, so I want to come and have a look."
"So you are here to visit James!" Ying Li pouted and said with a disappointed look on my arm.
We walked out of the locker room, to the end of the corridor, and walked up the spiral stairs. This lakeside castle was much larger than I wanted. The area where I was in is the inner house where Yingli and Ledi lived. There were some exquisite oil paintings hanging on the walls on one side of the stairs. There were pink gauze curtains between the oil paintings and oil paintings. The huge crystal chandeliers hung down from the roof, standing at the handrails at the edge of the stairs, almost within reach, and each chandelier emitted a soft magic glow.
While walking, Ying Li said to me: "Your information is really good. James just returned home at noon today and should be still resting now. He wants to attend a dinner in the palace tonight. I guess he will be out in a while. Do you want to see him?"
I asked Ying Li: "He wasn't injured, right?"
Hearing my question, Ying Li stopped, stood on the stairs with a nervous expression, and asked me, "No! I saw him just now, did you hear something?"
I said to her, "I just heard that in this battle in the Kenda plane, a big man was seriously injured, so..."
A smile appeared on Ying Li's face, and her eyes seemed to have turned into crescent moons. She stretched out her hands and put her body on my neck, hung her body on me, and asked me with a smile, "Are you worried that James was injured, so why did you come and take a look?"
"Yeah! That's it..." I nodded and said.
Ying Li lit his toes, pressed his forehead against mine, looked at me with a smile, and said to me: "If that were the case, I can tell you clearly that James is fine now, not injured, and if nothing important, it is best not to see him now, and leave some private space for him and Manda. You are rare to come here, I will take you to visit some of this castle."
Is it really okay? The injured person is not Prince James, so who will it be?
Before I could think too much, Le Die walked down the circular stairs. She wore a princess dress with long golden hair tied up high, and her slim figure made her look graceful. Two maids followed her and walked straight to me and said to me directly: "I heard Ying Li say you are going to build a town in Yero."
I hesitated for a moment and said, "I have this idea, but it won't be now."
"When, remember to tell me that I want to go to Yero too." Le Die's voice became much gentler, but she still had a kind of arrogance that was hard to hide.
After saying that, Le Die bowed slightly to me, then turned around and left with a calm look. When she calmed down, she was also a very beautiful beauty. Her big blue eyes, straight nose, rosy lips, and the blood of the elf made her skin delicate, and her ears even felt crystal clear.
Le Die didn't seem to ask me if I would like to go with her or not, and directly told me in a notice-like tone that if she wants to do this, I must cooperate.
This kind of arrogance that only royal family can be fully reflected in her.
"She has changed a lot recently." Ying Li said to me in the ear.
I don't know what to say. From the back, I think Le Die looks alone.
"Le Die, do you want to have dinner together?" Ying Li took a deep breath and asked loudly at Le Die, who was slowly walking down the spinning stairs.
Le Die raised her head slightly, but she did not turn around, but could see her nodding through her back.
Then, Ying Li accompanied me around the castle and let me see the living area she usually looks quite independent in the royal palace. Ying Li has a completely independent bedroom, a restaurant, a study and a magical botanical garden built on the top of the tower. Her life is not very close to Mrs. Manda. Similarly, Le Die also has her own bedroom, a restaurant, a training room, etc.
I, Helena, Becky, Yingli and Ledi, have a delicate and hearty dinner hotpot in a small restaurant.
This was not my suggestion, but Le Die proposed. Just as Ying Li was discussing what to eat in the evening, Ying Li said to me: Do you want to ask Le Die for your opinion? I said: OK! So Helena ran to ask Le Die. After Le Die thought about it, he said to Helena: I want to have another meal of shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-sha
So under my advocacy, we had a clear soup hotpot in Yingli's small restaurant. The dining table was filled with various exquisite foods, including yellow mutton slices as thin as paper, various fresh and tender green vegetables, each of us had a separate small cooking pot, and a fire gathering scroll was placed on the iron rack below, and the clean water in the small cooking pot was boiled away.
The most rare thing is that there are seafood coming to the Endless Sea in the ingredient warehouse here. I selected some shrimps and shellfish from these seafood and put them in the cooking pot as the bottom of the pot. The mutton cooked is even more delicious. Ying Li also took out the wine treasured in Prince James' cellar, and we all drank a little.
After drinking, Le Die's face turned red, and the smile on her face became more and more talkative.
At the dining table, we talked to Le Die about her sub-dragon. According to Le Die, the sub-dragon has now passed its childhood, with a wingspan of more than four meters. He has learned to fly for a short distance. It seems that only when talking about the sub-dragon can Le Die become cheerful. She told us some trivial matters about the sub-dragon when it grew up.
I also told some stories about living on the Pai Plateau.
After dinner, I said goodbye and left. Ying Li personally sent me to the gate of the Prince's Mansion. In front of the guards of the Prince's Mansion, Ying Li reached out from behind and hugged me tightly. She leaned her head against my back. We stood in front of the magic caravan for a while. Until I felt a little warm on my back, I realized that Ying Li seemed to be crying.
I don’t know why Ying Li became so sentimental at this time. Finally, she said to me: In the future, you have to squeeze out some time and come to the Prince’s Mansion to have dinner with her, even once or twice a month.
Ying Li watched me get on the carriage with his own eyes, and then waved goodbye to me reluctantly.
It was already evening, and the red sun in the sky had already sunk among the peaks of Majaro. The shadow of the mountain covered the entire imperial capital, and the street lights on the street were gradually lit by the night watchmen.
When the lights are on, the street is shrouded in a soft light.
...
The magic caravan from the Prince's Mansion sent me to the Tower of Pride.
When I pushed open the laboratory door, Qige was staring at a group of glass containers in front of me. A beaker was filled with thick green liquid. There were strong bubbles coming out of the liquid. The breath of life kept evaporating from these bubbles. The lizard maid Takama stood quietly by the side. Seeing me coming in, she quickly brought a chair for me from the corner, let me sit down next to Qige, and watched Qige perform magic herbal experiments.
"Why didn't Katerina come with you?" Ying Li's big eyes, as beautiful as purple grapes, stared at the crucible with concentration, and could even ask me distractedly.
I patted my forehead and remembered that I had left Katerina alone at the Royal Academy of Magic. I originally promised her to return to the Academy in the afternoon and then come to the Academy of Magic. I didn't expect to forget her there. It was now, and I don't know if she had dinner.
"Hey, Jijia, where are you going?" Qige stood up straight, supported himself on his slender waist with one hand, and asked at me with a frown.
"I'll go back to the academy first!" After that, I ran out of Qige's laboratory.
"Big idiot!" Qi Ge cursed from afar, and then her silver bell-like laughter came.
Perhaps it was because of the fact that Qige's laughter had some special magic. When the laughter came out of her lab, I found that other magic labs in the institute had closed the windows one after another.
Rent a magic caravan at the entrance of the Tower of Pride, galloped all the way back to the Royal Magic Academy, trotted through the campus pasture, and ran back to the dormitory beside the pool. When I looked up, I saw that the terrace of the water magician dormitory building of the second floor of the room belonging to me was filled with people. At this time, these people stood up and raised their glasses together, as if they were celebrating something.
Everyone was talking and laughing, and Katerina was also among them, as well as the back of the Vernon scholar. I even heard Senior Vernon talking about the recent interesting news in the academy at the forefront, ran upstairs in one breath, pushed open the dormitory door and found that there was a dinner party on the terrace.
The people on the terrace heard the sound of the door opening, and looked up at the dormitory. Only then did I see the faces of these people, Noah, Shirley Newman, Dennis, Senior Vernon, and Caterina, also sat in them. She saw me walking in from outside the dormitory, with a look of joy on her face and hurriedly stood up.
"Gija, haha, I'm back!" Noah pushed away the chair and ran directly to the door of the dormitory to give me a big bear hug.
"I think who is so brave, dares to have dinner on my terrace, and steals my golden cider. It turns out that you are back. What's the situation in the Vasqi plane? Have you come back with you?" I reached out and pushed Noah away, punched him hard on the shoulder, and said to him.
I haven't seen Noah for a month. He has become darker and thinner, and his curly hair has been cut short, making him look much more energetic.
"No, Louis will not be back later, but this time he gained a lot in Vasqi. Louis and I met Christopher. He admitted that Boris was not as good as Louis, and he also formally recognized Louis' inheritance rights at the Mensa family. He would send someone to inform Boris to hand over the fleet under Vasqi's rule. His only request was to let us hand Boris over to him for disposal." Noah said to me with a proud look on his face.
Christopher Mensa may be the most powerful opposition among the Mensa family who opposes Louis Mensa's inheritance of the Duke. Unexpectedly, he would choose to compromise with Louis Mensa at this time. It seems that the conflicts within the Mensa family have been settled for at least temporarily. What we need to do next is to actively deal with the plane war and stabilize the situation on the plane.
