Chapter 108 She Kissed Him
What happened in Xinghan Palace is too far away from the life of ordinary people in the mysterious city.
Even if there is, let the influence fly for a while.
For the citizens of the capital, this night is a rare rest and indulgence, a moment of pride for the Empire and the Queen.
The Queen of Eternal Night and Roger disguised themselves, put on the clothes of ordinary wealthy people, and walked side by side in the night market.
Seeing that the Queen's tense expression showed signs of melting, Roger couldn't help but ask with a smile, "Seeing the empire you built with your own eyes is always different, right?"
"There's nothing particularly different." Empress Eternal Night snorted and turned her face away, not wanting him to notice that the corners of her mouth were raised.
Although the magic circle can monitor the vague emotions of the whole city, personally participating in such a carnival, I feel that ordinary citizens and nobles are completely different from the red tape. Dazzling.
The Green Vines Empire is peaceful and stable, and it is prosperous and strong, so they can enjoy life like this.
The things that nobles are accustomed to, for these ordinary people, are very likely their happiness.
Roger didn't say much, he knew that he had made the right move.
Although the Queen of Eternal Night is in my way, she will also have emotional ups and downs.
Tonight seems to be playing with those nobles, but those nobles who oppose her with great truths were followers who fought side by side and defended Green Vines.
It's just that it's easy to share weal and woe.
Even if he is the final winner in control of the situation, he still thinks it would be perfect without this scene.
If the empire can smoothly transition from the feudal system to the centralization of power, the character of the Queen of Eternal Night, will not treat those nobles badly.
Their power will be restrained, but their quality of life will remain, and they still have wealth that ordinary people cannot spend for hundreds of years.
It's just that people's hearts are not enough, and some greed is far beyond reasonable estimation.
If someone wants to die, it really can't be stopped.
However, the Queen of Eternal Night has seen more storms and waves. After a moment of sentimentality, she walked out of the oppressed palace and saw the simple happiness of the citizens outside. She knew that her hard work was not meaningless, and the light of Green Vines would eventually shine on more people.
Gradually, I also saw it.
Heaven and earth are huge, there are no nobles, and I still have 400 million people.
They will prove my way is right!
Roger followed the Queen of Night into a pub in the Docklands.
There was a dwarf bard, who had drunk too much, standing on the table and chanting in a desolate voice, "It was the queen who gave me bread to feed my stomach, it was the queen who gave me sackcloth to ward off the cold, and it was the queen who gave me this wonderful night. ~~~”
The third-rate lyrics and songs he wrote by himself were not very pleasant. However, they were better than a simple melody and were sung with genuine emotion.
He attracted a group of sailors and laborers who made a living at the dock to sing along with him, and the cheap ale in their hands collided.
"There's always not enough ale!" The bard sang, blinking the eyes of the ghost spirit, and bowing to everyone in the tavern.
This is the rewarding part after the performance.
The Queen of Eternal Night found it interesting, and popped out a gold coin to the tavern owner, "Invite him to drink!"
The owner of the tavern is a kind man, and he felt hot when he took the gold coins, "You are too much, it will make him drink himself into trouble."
The Queen of Eternal Night was puzzled, and Roger explained by the side, "One gold coin can buy hundreds of glasses of ale, and he drinks so much tonight that he doesn't know how to control it. He will drink as much as you reward him, and as much ale as you just paid for, he will drink himself to death."
"But this is only a gold coin." The Queen of Eternal Night implied that she had no coins of lesser value on her person.
Aristocrats may eat dozens of gold coins in one meal, but who would have thought that a single gold coin could make a commoner sleepless?
Roger smiled and told the tavern owner on her behalf, "This lady invites everyone to a drink, and the rest will invite the poet."
The tavern owner praised, "The guests are generous."
"Thank you, beautiful lady!" The coolies and sailors also raised their glasses to the Queen of Eternal Night when they heard the news.
The dress and temperament of these two people surpassed the standards of this area by too many levels, and there won't be anyone who can't open their eyes to provoke them.
If there is a petty thief, even if he can't control himself, the bartender will teach him to be a man.
The boss ordered the beautiful maid to set up a table in the secluded place on the second floor and serve two glasses of ale and a few plates of side dishes, all for the gold coin.
The more ancient and backward the era, the greater the gap between the rich and the poor.
The Queen of Eternal Night didn't know what was going on in their little heads. Some of them raised their wine glasses and took a sip.
Immediately, she couldn't help frowning, and almost spit it out.
Seeing the men below drinking so lively and enjoying themselves, she thought it was a good wine.
When she put it in her mouth, she noticed that it was bitter and muddy. She doesn't know from which step the impurities that are floating in it came, and the storage process was not distracting. The miscellaneous taste almost covered the wine taste.
Roger was not surprised by the performance of the Queen of Eternal Night.
She didn't get to the point where she didn't eat minced meat, but she was also a little princess in brocade clothes and jade food. How could she experience this kind of pleasure in pain?
He raised his glass of ale with a sense of superiority, "After hard work, alcohol brings a little numbness.
Roger raised the ale in front of him, wanting to give His Majesty a sigh.
But when he raised the cup, his face froze as soon as he entered, and the hand could no longer be extended.
[This, how can this wine be so difficult to drink? 】
Although he is not a little princess, modern diet technology is constantly improving and iterating, even the blending of industrial alcohol is much better than this...
The people of Green Vines are too bitter! The industrialization of magic is imminent!
As the Queen of Eternal Night watched him fail in pretending to be strong, the corners of her mouth slowly formed into a smile. She pretended to be considerate and took the wine glass for him, wiping the corners of his mouth for him with her sleeve, "I have been professionally trained, so I don't laugh easily. "
Roger returned an embarrassed but polite smile, feeling ashamed at home.
He coughed and staggered the topic, "One day, the daily life enjoyed by the nobles can also enter the homes of ordinary people. Wine, meat, and clothing will not be something that these laborers can't achieve in their lives."
The Queen of Evernight suddenly asked, "Is this your ideal country?"
Roger asked back, "Isn't that Her Majesty's ideal country?"
She tilted her head and thought for a while, then said earnestly, "If you want to add one more, I'm invincible!"
...
…
The Duke of South Carleton.
Cornelia returned to her room, and the first thing she did was to find the cursed magic makeup tray and send out all the information about Roger's strength.
The spiritual power surpasses the legend, and the magic level is a junior magician. This is why he has performed a lot of outrageous performances.
Then she threw the dressing table on the ground as if her hands were hot, exhausted all her strength, and spread it out on her princess bed.
To be able to come back alive, I don't know how many years of good luck it took...
It's a pity that the quality of the magic makeup tray is very good. After rolling it on the ground a few times it is as good as before, making a provocative "Di" sound.
"Ah, ah, ah, don't come here!"
She covered her head with a pillow, for fear that the reply came from the guy who held her soul contract and was going to send her a new task list.
For her, tonight is scaring the baby to death, trying frantically on the edge of death.
The nobles collectively asked for orders to exile Roger. The Queen of Eternal Night fought back hard, but the final result was only to stun the eldest duke and the other nobles to retreat.
This is simply a miracle, isn't it?
Although the "Courteous" performance of the nobles will become a joke of the empire when it is spread out, at least they are still alive.
The murderous air of the Eternal Night Queen is much fainter than in previous years.
This kind of dangerous intelligence work is not suitable for this lady, let's end such a terrible night soon!
Cornelia closed her eyes and prayed, but unfortunately, her door was pushed open.
The Duke of South Carleton said with a gloomy expression, "Get up and pack, we're leaving."
"Father, let's go home a few days later instead." Cornelia pouted and acted coquettishly.
Otoko is much more lively than the Duchy of South Carleton. Although she signed a soul contract, she got a lot of fashionable and beautiful outfits because of this, so she is going to continue to show up in the circle of noble ladies of the imperial capital.
"No. We are leaving the Ivy Empire." The Duke of South Carleton gave an answer that made Cornelia pale.
"Father, why?"
"Because of Roger, who do you think will be the first to investigate after the establishment of the Night Guard?"
Whether it was the attempted temptation by the river that night or the leading provocation at the ball, the Duke of South Carleton felt that he had become the number one enemy of the Charles family.
Of course, there is another reason he didn't mention it. That is, the Queen of Eternal Night is so determined, the price of food will not rise again in the short term.
The food he hoarded with all his family's property was now worth as little as sand. He will go bankrupt if he stays in the Green Vines Empire.
He needs to find a place where he can sell the food at a high price, such as the orc tribe that has just been defeated by the empire.
The defeated country's troops were in chaos, so now they must be especially short of food, right?
Even if you don't have the money to buy it, it's not wrong to get a group of beautiful orc slaves like Tasika.
As long as he has money and people, he is still a handsome nobleman in another place!
Just a few days ago, a broker came to the door, promising to help his family move to another country.
At that time, the Duke of South Carleton felt that he had saved the life of the Queen of the Eternal Night, and the Holy Family Zhenglong, how could he use this kind of service?
As a result, the ungrateful queen is not guaranteed!
It's time for me to go to the wider world, sit and watch her rise from a tall building, sit and watch her building collapse~
This is the escape route of my Duke of South Carleton, you can't think of it?
…
…
The capital, the military headquarters, is underground.
A contact center for sparrows.
Margaret didn't sleep at all, and excitedly instructed her subordinates, "There are three more noble families requesting immigration services? Arrangements, all can be arranged!"
Putting down the communication crystal, Margaret praised, "Your Majesty's clever plan, everything is in her plan, and sure enough, these nobles can't sit still and are ready to flee!"
Her subordinates were also nurtured by Margaret to become ardent fans of the Queen of Eternal Night, and they praised, "As expected of Your Majesty!"
The group of nobles from the empire fled, thinking they were looking for some mysterious organization, but it turned out that they were all disguised as sparrows.
Now Margaret has marked on the map the route that these nobles want to leave the country and plans to send another regular army disguised as hemp bandits to set up an ambush on the way these immigrants must pass.
People can leave, and the money is left for the little aunt!
The sparrow who was in charge of contacting the Duke of South Canidon asked for instructions, "Sir, the Duke of South Canidon wants to bring food to the orc tribe, shall we grab it?"
"Go to the orc tribe to sell food? Hehe, whatever he wants!"
Margaret recalled the secret treaty she had just signed with the orcs and showed a sinister smile.
The empire didn't loot the orc tribes in the first place, and there will be all kinds of assistance in the follow-up. I want to go there and sell food to make money...
Great Your Majesty, is this also what you expected?
She suddenly looked forward to these defected nobles living overseas.
When the time comes, I will arrange for the sparrows to take pictures with their magic. Your Majesty will like to see them~ I am His Majesty's most useful baby~
…
…
The Rose River.
After coming out of that tavern, the Eternal Night Queen silently observed the capital.
Roger stayed by the side and walked here again without knowing it. It felt a little fun.
Do these queens and princesses like the riverside?
The celebration didn't affect the loading and unloading of goods at the port. The commerce of the empire was active and the cross-regional trade continued to increase. Long-distance shipping was a race against time, and every night was very precious and should not be wasted.
However, on the celebration day, sailors and laborers willing to work overtime can be paid more, and everyone is willing to work in the face of copper coins.
Looking at the brightly lit, crowded but well-ordered river surface, the Queen of Eternal Night suddenly showed a smile, "This is the unprecedented prosperity of Green Vines."
"The ships in the future will be ten times, a hundred times bigger than this moment, and the Rose River must also be widened," Roger replied confidently.
"Do you think the power of magic will also affect the port?" asked the Queen of Eternal Night.
"Of course. The power of the ship, the strength of the keel, and the caliber of the artillery have huge room for improvement. The loading and unloading power and speed of the port can also be improved, as well as the transfer of goods, the overall management and scheduling, and the level of storage are all too rough now. "
The Queen of Eternal Night imagined the picture according to his description, and her longing revealed helplessness, "It's very beautiful, such a huge port must mean that the Green Vines business is highly developed. It's a pity that there are seven gods, and there is not much time left for the empire. Prosperity will always come to an end.”
For an emperor who has a majestic blueprint in his chest and sees a greater road, he naturally wants to borrow another five hundred years from the sky.
The poor empire is only ten years old.
Even if they can unify the thoughts of all magicians, how much time can they put those beautiful plans into practice?
War is a topic that the empire can never avoid, and the gods are the sword of Damocles hanging over their heads.
To use a common phrase, the empire is going against the sky.
This was the first time that the Eternal Night Queen had taken the initiative to express her concern that the Empire was running out of time in front of Roger.
Roger didn't doubt that she had such a conclusion.
The situation that the seven gods and the family have joined forces to target the empire has become a reality. She has prophecy spells and a bunch of powerful cabinets. It would be strange not to know that the gods have written the end of the empire long ago.
Even though the current empire is different from the original destiny, it is only a small ripple in the multi-dimensional plane, and it will not affect the overall situation of the Seven Gods at all.
The seven gods are waiting for the end of the ongoing war to pull out their strength to clean up the Eternal Night Queen. What is the empire waiting for?
"Please, Your Majesty, believe in the power of industrialization. Time is indeed short, but the changes it brings are also a hundred times, a thousand times greater than in the past. We have a high possibility of creating miracles that belong to mortals." Roger affirmed.
The Queen of Eternal Night turned around and looked at Roger with a big smile, "Don't worry, I haven't wavered in the way I want to go. It's just a pity occasionally. Some encounters are eventually too late."
Her eyes are too bright and too aggressive, and it's not hard to guess who the subtext is referring to.
Roger's heartbeat accelerated inexplicably. In front of the Xinghan Palace, she was still in front of the scene of her begging for her one-faced nobleman's life. Suddenly looking at him so frankly, he couldn't help but have too many reveries.
Do a girl's words imply that she cherishes time and wants to hurry up to the next step?
He couldn't believe his guess. After all, His Majesty is not an ordinary girl. Her thoughts are getting deeper and deeper and more unpredictable. Even if she deliberately hints and then sees her jokes, it is possible.
In the end, Roger didn't dare to respond directly, but half-jokingly said, "There is a saying that it is better to come early than to come by chance, and it is better to be late. As long as we work hard, let this road continue to extend. "
The Queen of Eternal Night found that he was still walking in the same place, and felt annoyed in her heart. Did this child play badly by himself?
I've said it like this, you're still playing with guns? What are you afraid of?
She also put on a half-joking tone, "Then how exactly will Roger Aiqing work hard and what kind of path should he develop?"
Prosperity and civilization flashed in Roger's mind, but in the face of those dazzling eyes that gradually gave birth to a hint of embarrassment, his words finally flashed, "Your Majesty, take the Rose River that nourishes capital as the dance floor, with the constant whistle as the music, all the citizens who have not slept are invited to be the audience, let us strive to cherish every second, and complete the interrupted celebration with dance steps."
"That's a good idea!"
The Queen of Eternal Night chuckled and took his hand, and the two flew to the middle of the Rose River.
At the foot are the busy freighters, the whistles sounding one after another like a magnificent symphony.
Roger naturally stretched out one arm to wrap her waist, and the Queen of Eternal Night put the other hand on her shoulder.
The power of magic drives his feet, how is it born with this rhythm, and drives the Eternal Night Queen to dance gracefully, the two of them swirl like swallows over the river.
The Queen of Eternal Night lifted the disguise of the two people, and her highly bright appearance reappeared in the world.
There was a mist rising from the river, and the two of them were barely visible.
The sound of the whistle is getting more and more indistinct and the hustle and bustle of the city getting ever closer. The music became dense and the dancer's feet are getting more and more compact along with the rhythm.
A sailor was standing on the deck drinking secretly. When he raised his head, he suddenly saw a water monster dancing in the air. After a closer look, it was gone. He was so scared that he was covered in a cold sweat.
The fog was spreading, and the figures of Roger and the Queen of Eternal Night were getting taller and taller.
When they reached a height where they could overlook the entire mysterious city, the magic circle of the city's defense lit up.
At this moment, the whole city shone for them.
They forgot where they were, their identities, and worldly troubles in the elegant dance steps. The sky and the earth turned into stars and streamers, setting off the dance that the Queen of Eternal Night was thinking about.
The song is finally over.
The final finishing move was that Roger hugged the Empress of Eternal Night towards him, with her small hands on his chest, and the two bodies were just a line away from each other.
Roger took a deep breath, suppressing those thoughts he should not have, and didn't dare to look at the beautiful little face in front of him, but stared at the vast and mysterious capital, "What is the difference between Your Majesty and God at this time? ?"
In such a dance, the scene, the music, and her movements are all her miracles of creating magic, and the control is so exquisite that it is beyond the level that an extraordinary person should have.
The Queen of Eternal Night's breathing was also a little disordered, and she paused before answering, "God has become a slave of faith, but I will never!"
Just when Roger was thinking about this sentence, he suddenly found that the hand she was supporting on his chest loosened, and the graceful body was close to him. She then raised her head and made a light mark on his lips:
"Good night, little Roger."
She suddenly figured out, since I don't want to be a god, I don't have to abide by every word of that god, right?
Girls can't confess, but that doesn't mean they can't go up!
