Chapter 176 Alabasta
"The name of the city Rapeseed Flower is really interesting."
The Kingdom of Alabasta, the largest port city - the harbor of rape blossoms, the warship slowly docked, and before it docked, Schuyler saw many people in large robes with obvious Alabasta style waiting at the port .
Warring States has no desire to express the city name Rapeseed Flower. After all, it has been decades since he first knew the name of the city, and he no longer has the desire to complain.
But Warring States said: "There are many strange creatures in Alabasta, and some creatures are even used as means of transportation. You must be calm and don't lose face for the Navy."
Sengoku thought about it, the first time he came to Alabasta, the vehicle he took. Even he, a big man, thought it was too cute, this girl Skyler.
But soon Zhan Guo was relieved, because he had eaten roast duck with Skyler, and Skyler ate it deliciously, so he shouldn't have a strange feeling for creatures like ducks.
Sure enough, after the handover of officials from the Warring States Period and the port was completed, Skyler saw the vehicle "Running Duck" and said:
"Exercising all year round, the muscles must be very tough. It may not be delicious to bake directly, but it should be stewed slowly."
Warring States heard the words, reluctantly smiled at several officials with strange faces, and the officials did not dare to say anything, although Alabasta had a very special position among the franchise countries, higher than other franchise countries.
But because the ancestors did not choose to settle in Mariejoa, they are far away from the identity of Tianlong people, let alone officials like them, they are not qualified to accuse a naval general.
Finally, the allocation of transportation was completed. Zhan Guo and Schuyler took the fast duck and went to Albana, the capital of Alabasta, with the officials. The rest of the navy, some were stationed, and some chose other means of transportation.
After all, with the Warring States, there is no problem with safety at all. Other navies are more used as facades at celebrations and transport some gifts, so there is no need to act at the same time.
The running duck selected by the officials for Skyler is named "Running Steadily", so that Skyler, who has never ridden a running duck before, can better adapt to the fast running duck.
Running steadily is not the biggest and tallest duck in the running duck team, but it is the fattest. There is a saddle on the duck. Skyler watched the duck in the Warring States period, and imitated his movements and jumped on the duck. back.
Although it was said to run steadily, Skyler could still feel the slightest rhythmic ups and downs, and this was still the case without moving. Of course, Skyler's senses were too sensitive.
Soon, the running duck team started to run, and Skyler noticed the gap when they ran. Others were constantly heaving on the duck's back, but this one ran steadily. Except for the wind, it was fast, and there was almost nothing change.
It seems that there is still a reason for being called a steady run.
However, this speed is still quite average. Skyler felt that he ran much faster than Duck Run, and it was still without using techniques such as shaving.
Schuyler and the others set off at dusk and stopped for two stops in the middle to rest and eat. Therefore, on the morning of the third day, they climbed up the high stairs and arrived at Albana, the capital of the Kingdom of Alabasta.
The transition between the civilian area of the royal capital and the palace is very smooth, and there is no obvious division. Of course, the closer you go to the palace, the more prosperous the surrounding buildings will be.
Finally, under the leadership of Alabasta officials, Warring States and Skyler entered the Alabasta palace. Why did they enter the palace? It's very simple, for the next few days, they will all live in the palace.
Skyler and the others arrived in Alabasta at dusk the second day they set off, five days before the banquet. Depart from Rapeseed Flowers at dusk by taking a fast-running duck, and arrive at the palace after two nights and one day.
At this time, there are still two days before the banquet, that is to say, Skyler needs to stay in the palace for at least two more days, and it seems that Warring States still has a meeting with King Cobra and other envoys from allied countries after the banquet. mean.
It is not guaranteed, and I have to stay for a few more days, which makes Skyler a little uncomfortable, because Alabasta is really too hot compared to other places Skyler has been to.
Although Skyler doesn't need to be afraid of dehydration, she doesn't need to worry about getting sunburned. After all, her body is too tough, but this feeling is just uncomfortable. It's okay when she's on the running duck, and it's okay when it gets cold at night.
But now seeing that there are still hundreds of meters to go, Skyler is very uncomfortable because he can't take the fast duck, or use running or shaving to drive.
Let it go, Skyler actually looked unhappy when he saw the Warring States Period, but he still had a polite smile on his face. Skyler felt a lot more comfortable in an instant. After all, she was okay with wearing sunglasses and not needing to speak. Wanton rolled his eyes.
Within a short distance of a few hundred meters, Skyler felt more tired than a fight with Garp. Finally, he entered a simple but luxurious building. Without the sun, he felt much more comfortable.
After passing through many buildings and corridors, at the gate of a palace, Skyler finally saw a man who looked exactly like Cobra in the animation, only much younger and more real, with an irrepressible expression on his lips. smile.
Warring States obviously knew Cobra, and after seeing Cobra, he also put on a smile, did not use Alabasta's etiquette, but saluted a naval officer, and then said: "Your Majesty Cobra, good morning. "
Skyler followed suit and saluted, and then greeted. Cobra returned the salute with Alabasta etiquette, and then led the two into the palace.
After sitting down, Sengoku and Cobra kept chatting about the unhealthy, but unavoidable.
For example, Cobra thanked the Navy for its protection of the Alabasta waters, and Sengoku thanked Alabasta for its support for the Navy's work, and talked perfunctorily about in-depth cooperation.
As for why Skyler thought it was a perfunctory discussion, because the lines of the two were as familiar as if they had read the script, and even when normal people talked, the occasional grammatical mistakes never happened.
After discussing for a long time, it is estimated that the two sides have finished chatting about the topics of greetings prepared by both parties. After a few seconds of awkward silence, Cobra proposed to let the palace attendants take Sengoku and Skyler to rest.
The moment he walked out of the palace, Schuyler was relieved when he saw the Warring States Chief, and he also breathed a long sigh of relief when he sensed Cobra in the palace, who had made rapid progress in half a year.
Skyler joked: "Is it necessary to be so tired of chatting?"
"The old man thinks it's unnecessary, but the position of the old man and the identity of His Majesty Cobra make it necessary to have this conversation."
Zhan Guo didn't care about the attendants beside him, and said bluntly, the attendants first brought the two to the residence assigned to Zhan Guo, and then took Skyler to her residence.
It's a residence, but I'm sorry for it. This is a palace. Skyler looked at the living room of more than 200 square meters and fell into deep thought. Compared with this, Marin Fando's residence can only be regarded as a dwelling.
The attendant retreated, and the maid came forward and asked Skyler if he would like to experience the characteristic sand bath in Alabasta. Skyler chose to take a bath after listening to the benefits of sand bath introduced by the maid.
It's such a hot day, why don't you take a shower? What sand bath?
But fortunately, this is the palace of Alabasta. If it is other cities in Alabasta, unless it is on the banks of the Santo River, there is no condition for bathing.
After bathing, Sengoku called Skyler to inform her that she had something to eat.
Skyler, who originally wanted to lie down for a while to cool off, put on his clothes in an instant, and came to the door of the residence of the Warring States Period, waiting in a military posture.
Warring States also came out soon, seeing Skyler, he said suspiciously: "Skyler, you are also a general, don't wait for me."
Skyler showed an embarrassed smile and said, "When you greeted those officials just now, I didn't listen and I didn't know them. What if they meet me and they take the initiative to say hello to me?"
