Although she obeyed the good intentions of her partner, the little girl did not hold much hope in her heart.
His Majesty Roland also knew about this. If the other party had heard new news from his father, His Majesty should have called her there long ago. Since there is no, the other party is mostly ignorant.
Anyway, just treat it as a good look for the two people who care about her.
Walking to the explorer's side, Lightning couldn't help frowning, this person is too... exaggerated, right
In terms of age, this fjord visitor who calls himself Sander Bird is only about thirty years old. He wears a blindfold on his right eye, and is embroidered with a bright rose, while the branches and green leaves below the flower are tattooed on his face. , almost occupying most of his cheek, making people doubt his taste.
While a good explorer shouldn't be judged by his appearance, his words and deeds aren't much better.
During the conversation, Sander Asuka seemed to be telling everyone about a arduous adventure, and his exaggerated words made Lightning almost think that he was walking through the end of the sea or the edge of hell, but in fact the scene he described was nothing but the Burning Fire Islands. Of course, it is indeed full of danger. Lava is often ejected from the seabed, forming a huge steam cloud column, which is not only easy to block the line of sight, but also a deadly threat to the crew... But after several generations of exploration, the The area has a complete chart, as long as you choose the correct route and time to enter according to the chart, you can basically avoid danger.
When she was less than ten years old, she had followed her father on the main island of the Burning Fire Islands, Li Volcano.
For the people of the fjords, only those who have discovered new routes, islands or ruins can be called explorers, but there are so many islands in the vortex sea, at least there are thousands of them, which will inevitably lead to the same explorers, There is a world of difference in its level.
In Lightning's eyes, there are only a few people who can be compared with his father, and Sander Asuka is obviously not among them.
For a while, she was much less interested in saying hello, and when she hesitated, someone suddenly held her hand.
She looked up and saw that it was Aunt Margaery.
"Little guy, you came just in time," the businesswoman smiled kindly. "I'll introduce to you, this is the explorer from Shuanglong Island and the chief of the Dragon Head Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Sander. He is also you. One of my father's admirers."
His name has been said before, Lightning slandered, but since Aunt Margery opened this up, she could only smile and say, "Hello, I'm Lightning, and I'm from the Fjords, although I wasn't born in Fiordland Islands."
"Ah, you are Lord Thunder's daughter?" Sand said with joy, "I heard Ms. Margaery mentioned earlier that the daughter of the greatest explorer is now in Greycastle, and now she has finally met her. Um... It is indeed somewhat similar to Lord Thunder!"
Liar, her father clearly said that her appearance is more inclined to the mother she has never met. Lightning twitched the corners of his mouth, "Thank you, do you have any news about him?"
"I have only heard some rumors, some people say that he drifted to an island that no one knows about, and some people say that he has actually returned to the fjord, just because he encountered an incredible adventure after the shipwreck, so he did not make a sound, but silently Preparing for a new expedition. As for other claims...especially those rumors that are malicious, they are not worth mentioning at all." Sander gushed, "Of course, I personally prefer the second one, after all, there were people around the storm. Several reefs and islands are by no means insurmountable dangers for Lord Thunder. In fact, many people in his fleet have survived."
This judgment is similar to what she guessed, and the appearance of the other party is a little pleasing to the eye.
As for whether or not her father looked for her, it didn't matter.
As long as she follows the path of the explorer, she believes that one day she will see him again.
"By the way, can I ask, which island did you discover?"
"Uh," a look of embarrassment flashed across Sander's face, "I told the truth before Your Majesty. I can become an explorer, so to speak, thanks to your father. Ever since the Shadow Isles were discovered, there was a time when It has become a pioneering place for many people, and the Chamber of Commerce is no exception. My fleet wanted to transport a batch of supplies to the transit island, but it was attacked by sea monsters on the way, causing it to deviate from the route, and unexpectedly arrived at a sea Islands not marked on the map."
Well, this last point has also been confirmed. It is really the kind of lucky person who has only traveled a few remote routes and has outstanding luck.
"It turns out that this is one of the charms of exploration, isn't it?" Lightning replied seriously, "Then I won't disturb your conversation with Your Majesty." Then she turned to Roland and gave a noble salute, " Your Majesty, please allow me to retire."
Roland seemed a little distracted, and it took a while before he realized, "Ah... go ahead."
Although His Majesty's expression was a bit strange, Lightning didn't take it too seriously when he thought that there was a Nightingale by his side to protect him. After all, she will usher in the first challenge after the establishment of the expedition team, so she can't lose no matter what!
…
After seeing the little girl jumping away, Roland couldn't help but be stunned.
Thunder is just a showman!
After the performance, the other party did not have any doubts!
No, if he didn't know exactly that the person in front of him was Lei Ting, it would be difficult for him to associate the current "Sand Asuka" with the person when he disembarked.
According to his original idea, the welcome banquet was to arrange a reasonable identity for Lei Ting, and the meeting could be divided into two halls, one large and one small, and the small hall was for distinguished guests. This was also a common practice for banquets. Unexpectedly, Lei Ting thought that there was no need for such trouble, and it was enough to gather them all together.
Roland didn't care, after all, the person who didn't want his daughter to know each other was Lei Ting, but when he attended, he found that the other party was completely different. After taking off the feather suit, Lei Ting completely changed into another appearance. According to the other party's statement, it was covered with a Layer colloid, supplemented with pearl powder, can achieve the effect of face change. Those exaggerated tattoos and eye masks are also decorations, which can distract people, thereby weakening the difference between the gel and real skin.
As for controlling his own voice, it was a skill that Thunder had acquired during his expedition.
But in Roland's view, this is not the point.
He believes that everyone has their own characteristics, and the person who the other party wants to deceive is his daughter who has been with him for more than ten years. Even if his voice and smile have changed, he may still be recognized.
Then when Lei Ting began to perform, Roland discovered that there was such a talented person. The nearly forty-year-old explorer disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by a rather pompous, eloquent, somewhat The self-satisfied young leader of the Dragon Head Chamber of Commerce.
He had only seen such acting skills in May.
