Chapter 1558 Women Are All Shopaholics

Listening to the tone of the Elf Queen, she seemed to be quite curious about my adoptive father. She immediately smiled and said: "My adopted father is not a wandering expert, nor is he a hermit. There must be a chance to meet him. It's just a meeting. The issue of time still needs to be considered. After all, he has many things to do and scientific research and inventions are constantly happening every day. I don’t know when he will be free."

"This is natural," the Elf Queen said matter-of-factly: "A genius who can design and create such a great invention as a magic airship must be different from us secular people."

I wanted to laugh when I heard it, and thought to myself: "Actually, it's not any different. I still drink water, eat, fart and pee as usual, no more of the same, no less of the same."

Emily, who was standing aside, suddenly frowned imperceptibly. This simple action shocked me.

It's so dangerous, I almost forgot. Emily's insight into me is second only to Mr. Taylor and Phoenix. She will guess what I am thinking almost as soon as my expression changes slightly, and she can guess it almost accurately. ten.

Could she have guessed just now that I was secretly teasing the Elf Queen in my heart?

I took a sneak peek at Emily's expression and found that she only glanced at me lightly, then moved her gaze back to the Elf Queen and continued her duties as a personal guard.

I first took the two girls for a walk around the upper level of Fort Vicky. The forest here is dense, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the mountain springs are clear, and small animals are roaming around. In terms of scenery alone, it is not inferior to the Elf Forest in the slightest.

After picking some wild fruits and berries, we found a clean stone surface near the mountain spring. The three of us sat across from each other and started our first afternoon meal since coming here.

Although the wild berries here do not have the sweet aura of those in the Elf Forest, they do have their own slightly sour taste.

The former is like a dream, while the latter is reality. Being always indulging in a dream will make people feel like they are in the clouds, unsteady. Occasionally falling into reality will make people feel awe-inspiring and refreshing.

The taste of it is deeply felt in my heart, which is insignificant.

Emily still ate indifferently. She was quite fond of food, but she had no time to taste the fruits because she had to protect the Queen's safety right now. She only used the fruits to satisfy her hunger.

On the other hand, the Elf Queen, who had tasted all kinds of fruits on weekdays, was extremely happy to eat. Her smile was as real as the taste of the wild fruits in her hands, plain and real, without any hint of fairy spirit.

I chuckled and said, "The Queen has tasted all kinds of fruits, so how come she loves these wild fruits and berries so much?"

The Queen swallowed the berries in her mouth, gently wiped the juice from the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, and said in a brisk tone: "I rarely eat fruits with sour taste, and I also have many rules on my diet. This is the first time I eat so happily."

"It's really hard for you." I smiled bitterly, wiped the wild fruit in my hand, and handed it to the Elf Queen.

The queen was not polite, took the wild fruit, and started to enjoy it.

Although this meal was not rich, it was very satisfying.

After that, we traveled again. The Queen only focused on admiring flowers and willows, but never asked me why I couldn’t see a goblin or a dwarf.

But think about it, it's normal not to ask. After all, the Queen is here for fun, not for diplomatic talks in the true sense.

The sun sets in the west and becomes dusk.

Seeing that it was getting late, I took the two girls through the dense forest and came to the door of an underground fortress that was heavily guarded.

The guards saw three people coming from a distance, and based on their height, they must not be dwarves or goblins. They immediately ordered everyone to hold their weapons, load their guns, and enter a state of preparation for war.

Before he even stepped into the ten meters surrounding the fortress gate, a chilling air hit his face.

"Who is it!" Six dwarf adventurers jumped out from behind the rocks on both sides. They looked alert and each held a weapon. If you dare to move, I will kill you first and then show off.

I raised my hands to show that I was not threatening, and said at the same time: "Brothers, don't be impulsive. I am An Xiaoyi."

A beam of bright light came over, stinging me so hard that I had to close my eyes tightly. The bright light only lasted for a few seconds and then went out. I only heard a faint gurgling sound in my ears. After the sound, it was the dwarves shouting loudly. They shouted loudly: "Sir An Xiaoyi, my subordinate was rude just now, please punish me."

Slowly opening his eyes, he saw that three meters in front of him, there were already kneeling dwarves. They were all kneeling on the ground, their heads bowed in humility, and they all looked like they were following your orders.

I smiled bitterly, stepped forward, leaned down, helped each of the dwarves up, and said comfortingly: "You are all the pillars of our Fort Vicky."

Eh?

Why are these words so familiar?

"You all work conscientiously and guard the city gate every day. You only think about the safety of the people in Fort Vicky. For your meritorious deeds, you should not say you are guilty, but you should be rewarded!"

All the dwarves shouted in unison: "These are our duties and we dare not be rewarded!"

My ears buzzed and I was almost deafened.

He wanted to pick his ears, but the occasion was not right, so he smiled and patted the guard captain on the shoulder and said: "Thank you for your hard work, you must keep up your efforts and work hard for the long-term peace and stability of Fort Vicky. Oh, I will enter the city right now, no need to send me off." .”

Inside the city gate, there is a bright light, but it is not the bustling main city, but a winding passage.

The passage is not too narrow, and five or six people can pass side by side, but it is impossible to get in and out of the army.

Such a passage, invisible, can create a feeling of being easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Another point is that if the army really comes to the city one day, even if the army guards this gate, the residents of the city will still have no problem leaving the city, because this gate is only for outsiders to see. How many secret passages and secret doors does the real Fort Vicky have? Only those of us at Veitchburg insiders will know.

Such is the case with Cunning Rabbit's Three Caves.

Passing through the passage, there is a bright light, and the real view of Fort Wych is unobstructed.

The streets and corners are filled with the sounds of hawking, taverns and restaurants, people drinking and laughing. Almost everyone’s faces are filled with simple and real smiles. Almost every dwarf and goblin they meet greets each other with a smile. Man, this smile is not hypocritical at all.

The Elf Queen, escorted by Emily, walked side by side with me. She was very nervous, but even more excited.

She was used to the indifference between elves, but she had never seen such a friendly atmosphere, let alone the whole city.

At this time, she was like a child, looking left and right, forward and back, curious about everything and happy to see everything.

The journey that should have taken one hour to reach my home ended up taking more than three hours.

It’s just that it takes a long time, but the Queen has the same reaction as little Remi. Every time she passes a stall, she will stop for a while. Once she stops, she may find something she likes. When she sees something she likes, she will buy it. If she buys too much, she will need to pretend. The bag, once it’s packed, I have to carry it.

Along the way, I carried several bags of things and walked up and down with a smile on my face, but I was already complaining in my heart.
