“Hiss~~Hoo!”
I'm afraid I can't quit smoking.
Holy Land Prison.
Vivian, who had sent all the jailers away, stood in front of one of the cells. Looking at Princess Shirahoshi, whose head was almost touching the ceiling even when she was sitting on the ground, he couldn't help but blow out a smoke ring and said in a gentle tone, "Don't be afraid. I brought you here just to help you avoid the persecution of the Celestial Dragons for a while."
He was actually too lazy to explain, but Shirahoshi was crying so hard now. If this got out and made people think that he had done something bad to the little girl, it would have a bad impact.
As expected, after hearing Vivian's words, Bai Xing, who had just been sobbing, stopped crying instantly.
Reaching out to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, Bai Xing's face flashed with joy and asked, "Really?"
"real.."
Vivian nodded.
However, I was secretly complaining in my heart: How naive he is! How could he survive to this day with this IQ
Are you so easily persuaded by a few words from a stranger
This shows that one has no understanding of the dangers of the world.
"Thank you."
Bai Xing then thanked him again, and under Vivian's extremely surprised gaze, he posed and curled up obediently in the corner.
"What are you...doing?" Vivian asked.
"I'll try not to make any noise and cause you any trouble."
It turned out that Vivian closed his eyes and rested for a while at the door of the cell, and soon stood up and began to suck on his cigar. When Bai Xing saw this scene, he subconsciously thought that his crying had disturbed the other party, so he behaved like this.
Vivian: “…”
"Okay, then just stay here obediently, and I'll have someone release you later." Vivian flicked the cigarette butt in his hand.
After saying that, he no longer paid any attention to Bai Xing, turned around and walked straight out of the prison gate.
As for whether Shirahoshi would be bullied if left here alone...the prison guard was his loyal fan, and he believed that under his instructions, Shirahoshi would get the best treatment here.
...
The other side.
Social Square.
The crowd that was originally watching the excitement had now dispersed. Many people were scared away from this place because of the evil deeds of the Celestial Dragons. But despite this, more than half of the royal nobles took the initiative to come forward to toast or apologize, trying to establish some relationship with the Celestial Dragon in front of them.
The two guards who were watching this scene huddled together again and whispered to each other, "The one named Shirahoshi just now should be the princess of Mermaid Island, right?"
"That's right."
The guard wearing a helmet nodded and said, "That Thunder Swordsman Vivian took Princess Shirahoshi away and framed her for colluding with our Revolutionary Army... How did he know we had sneaked into this place?"
“Not sure.”
Another guard shook his head and said thoughtfully: "Maybe this is just a coincidence?"
"coincide?"
"Well... I think he probably just made up an excuse to try to rescue Princess Shirahoshi from the Celestial Dragons."
As for how to exonerate Princess Shirahoshi later, he had no idea.
"But no matter what, our plan is likely to be exposed in advance."
"So what should we do now?"
"Of course...declare war on the Celestial Dragons."
Under the helmet, the young man raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile and saying: "Now there are media reporters everywhere under the Red Earth Continent. This is indeed a great opportunity to become famous in the world."
"Just like Larven back then?"
"Logget Larven..."
When the young man heard the name, he immediately showed some appreciation in his eyes: "That guy is just like the navy man just now. He is the number one person I particularly want to meet."
"It would be great if we could get Larven to join the revolutionary army."
In that case, this plan will probably become a lot easier.
As soon as he finished speaking, while everyone's attention was drawn to Saint Charlos, two guards in full armor stepped back several steps and disappeared into the shadows of the buildings in the square.
...
The screen switches again.
Close to the Marijoa Palace, where the Celestial Dragons live.
Vivian stood at the door of a villa and was about to ask, but was immediately stopped by the guards: "Hey, what are you doing? You are not allowed to wander around the residence of the Tianlong people."
"Ah, that's it. I'm Vivian, the Thunder Swordsman of the Navy. I want to talk to Saint Musgard of your family about something."
"navy?"
"Thunder Swordsman?"
The guards at the door looked at each other when they heard these two words, and then, under Vivian's confused gaze, they quickly ran to the third floor of the villa.
About two minutes later.
Bang!
A figure leaped out of a window on the third floor of the villa, and then landed on the lawn. He rolled forward for a circle and a half before he managed to stabilize his body. He stood up and looked at Vivian standing at the door excitedly and said, "Are you the Thunder Swordsman Vivian? I have heard of your name for a long time and have always wanted to visit you, but I didn't expect to meet you at my doorstep today... Well, can I ask you to take a photo with me?"
As he spoke, the young man in front of him, who was also wearing a white robe but had a temperament that was obviously different from the other Tianlong people, took out a camera from his arms and looked at Vivian with a smile.
Vivian: “…”
Is this guy the Saint Musgarud
As expected, just as described in the original work, after being saved once by Princess Otohime out of kindness, his entire personality became completely different.
After all, other Celestial Dragons would not proactively ask for his opinion like this. At most, asking him to be a slave would be considered a great honor to him.
"sure."
Vivian nodded.
Then, Saint Musgarud ran up, hugged Vivian's shoulders excitedly, took a photo, and then retreated happily, bowed to Vivian and said, "Thank you very much."
"Actually, I came here because I want to trouble you with something." Vivian went straight to the point.
"What's the matter?" Saint Musgarud asked.
After quickly recounting what happened to Shirahoshi, Saint Musgarud rolled up his sleeves and said indignantly, "That damn Saint Charlos...please lead the way for me. I must personally teach that stupid guy a lesson today."
Vivian: “…”
