When the plane landed, the language used around me was no longer the familiar one. There were three women and four men in Leng Yiyao's group. They were dressed no differently than ordinary tourists. In view of the fact that Leng Yiyao and M's looks are really eye-catching, most people just think that they are a young master and a young girl from some family who are traveling on vacation.
Laura and the deputy squad leader tried their best to keep their walking posture as relaxed as possible so as not to bring out the military appearance. The three people behind M looked at them for a while, smiled, and seemed to have a peaceful journey.
The hotel we booked was the most luxurious seven-star hotel in the center of the city.
Duolin Kingdom is located in the north, where it is cold all year round, not to mention the dead of winter. Apart from skiing, few foreigners would come here at this time.
Looking at the surrounding streets, with only one or two pedestrians occasionally appearing, Leng Yiyao couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
M, who roughly knew what she was thinking, pointed to the thermometer in the car: "The temperature inside the car is twenty-five degrees, and outside the car, it is minus twenty-five degrees. This is because it is a sunny day today. Normally, It's colder, how many people do you think are going to be out there freezing."
Since Leng Yiyao left the airport, she got into the car directly after exiting the VIP channel. She didn't feel the temperature outside at all. After hearing what he said, it made sense. Most indoors have air conditioning or heating, but there is nothing you can do outdoors. After all, most of the scenery in the North is like this. However, there are not many cars driving on the street, which is a bit puzzling.
M obviously knew the reason, but felt that it was not the time to talk about it yet, so he just smiled lightly and changed the subject. "Do you know why this place is called Floating Light City?"
Compared with D City's concise and easy-to-understand city name "Golden City", the name "Floating City" is obviously more artistic.
The word "floating light"...
"Can you see the aurora here?" Generally speaking, the aurora is a brilliant and beautiful glow that appears at night in the high altitudes near the polar regions due to the flow of charged particles from the sun entering the magnetic field. However, it stands to reason that although Duolin Kingdom is located in the north, it has not reached the pole. Leng Yiyao expressed his curiosity.
M looked at her deeply: "No."
So, the floating light does not refer to the aurora
"'Floating' refers to people." M didn't wait for her to ask, raised his lips directly, and continued the topic: "Duolin country was divided into pieces many years ago. Although the area is larger than other neighboring countries, There have been wars all year round. At that time, one emperor gave birth to five princes."
Leng Yiyao smiled slightly when he heard this.
There is right and wrong when there are too many people, let alone a place like the royal family. In name, the empire was just two upright princes, Lu Chen and Lu Ming, who were fighting for the throne, let alone the five previous princes.
M has never been willing to talk nonsense with others, except Leng Yiyao. Even though she is a woman, her sensitivity to current affairs is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Seeing a flash of understanding and ridicule in her eyes, he continued: "The old emperor only gave birth to a daughter. She was inconspicuous at first. She was sandwiched between the five princes, so she naturally had no sense of existence. But no one expected that, In the end, it was this little princess who personally ended the 'Five Kings Rebellion' and promoted the unification of the entire Duolin Kingdom." Among them, the viciousness of the methods made people wonder if she was born with the wrong gender.
"This little princess ranked last and the youngest. When she was thirty-five years old, only three of the five princes were left. She personally sent her brother, a compatriot from the same mother's mother, to the throne, and she was given the title of 'Princess Protecting the Country' . Because she was nicknamed 'Princess Fuguang', when the emperor awarded this city to her as a territory, he specially changed its name to 'Fuguang City'." Leng Yiyao listened to M talking about this history, almost with relish. In a male-dominated world, having such a princess is so exciting. The key is that being able to have a city named after her and remain in Qing history forever is a legend in any dynasty.
However, how serious is the emperor's heart in giving a capital city directly to the princess as a territory
M lightly tapped her forehead: "Duolin Kingdom is different from our empire. Since the establishment of the empire, the three realms have stood side by side, controlled each other and progressed in a reasonable manner. There has not yet been a change of dynasty. But Duolin Kingdom has been fighting since ancient times. Strong and warlike. When the Princess Protector took over this Floating Light City, it was just an economically important city. Later, after several dynasties changed, the capital was moved here, and it became the capital it is today."
Feisty and bellicose
Leng Yiyao thought about it and understood the metaphor in his words. is not that right
Before and after, I didn't live in peace for many years. I had been defeated before, and I specially gave him a "marriage" princess. Now, I started to provoke again. I simply don't know how to write the word "lose".
However, when it comes to the "marriage" princess, that is, the princess...
Leng Yiyao couldn't help but lift her chin. Although the eldest princess tried to keep a low profile in the palace due to her embarrassing status, judging from her plans for the eldest princess and her previous fight with Lu Chen, she was definitely a scheming one.
Now that Duolin has a Princess of Light, I'm afraid some people can't help but want to be like her and become the second "Princess Protecting the Country"...
However, this is unclear. It is also possible that at the root, there is something wrong with upbringing. After all, the little princess Duolin whom I met at the casino last time was arrogant and sarcastic. In the empire, most princesses would not dare to have the "confidence" like her.
While the two were talking, the car had arrived at the hotel.
It is similar to the luxurious style of the Empire. Since this place can become a seven-star hotel, it is naturally an endorsement of "luxury".
Starting from the golden tiles at the entrance of the hall, there is a domineering air that looks down on the world's wealth.
As far as the eye could see, not a single plant or tree could grow in this northern country. However, the lush green landscape, the fragrance of flowers and the chirping of birds, looked less like a hotel and more like a natural oxygen bar.
At the hotel reception desk, a woman with a tall nose, big eyes, a charming figure, and a dignified appearance freely switched languages to communicate with the hotel guests. His voice is gentle and affectionate, his facial features are profound, his language is simple and clear, without any delay, and he has a kind of northern pride.
The suitcases were checked and delivered to them by the hotel attendant.
M asked his men to go through the check-in procedures. They were bored and simply stood by the fountain in the center of the hall and chatted.
Laura and the deputy squad leader spoke very little along the way. When they saw such a luxuriously decorated hotel, their first feeling was that they had entered a wealthy den, and then they felt a little dazed looking at the various fishes in the fountain.
Is it really good to keep ornamental fish here
Simply, the check-in procedure was very fast, and the three people quickly assigned the rooms. Leng Yiyao and M each used a top-level suite, and their subordinates moved in for personal protection. The service desk sells mobile phone cards, and several people changed them directly. Mobile phone communication is much more convenient.
The time they arrived was close to four in the afternoon. Obviously, there was nothing particularly interesting to see if they went out at this time. On the first day, it is natural to adjust the biological clock.
After returning to their respective rooms, everyone changed their clothes and quickly came to the restaurant to solve the problem of food and clothing first.
Due to the long-term low temperature in Duolin Country, seafood is imported and transported by air. Leng Yiyao simply skipped this category when ordering, and instead chose some barbecue dishes. Making this kind of thing in the north has always had a wild taste that can't be learned from other places.
Sure enough, when a large pot of roasted lamb was served, an unspeakable burning aroma wafted around the entire seat.
The seven of them were not shy about eating. They ate meat without ordering drinks. Others were enthused, and many people imitated them and immediately ordered roasted whole lamb.
After eating the hot barbecue, the whole person seemed to be satisfied all at once.
Leng Yiyao ordered some vegetables and ate them with barbecued meat later, which made her feel better.
Others only think that they are enjoying the meal in a leisurely manner. Only they know that they seem to be talking and laughing, but in fact the topic they are discussing is...
"There are a total of 280 tables in the restaurant, which can accommodate at least 1,120 people at the same time."
"Except for the southeast, northwest and southeast corners, there are 42 monitoring points in other places, with no blind spots for connection."
"The distance between the entrance and the emergency exit is 800 meters, and the security measures cannot be determined yet."
Leng Yiyao and M listened to the report of the people below and only nodded slightly, as if they were more focused on eating.
In this kind of hotel, the guests who can usually stay are not ordinary people. The worst people are wealthy businessmen. If you go up a little bit, nobles and politicians are the most basic.
I just came downstairs, and walking all the way from the elevator entrance, most of them looked like foreigners, and there were not too many locals.
At the innermost corner of the restaurant, a special room was specially opened, with a "Do Not Disturb" sign hanging outside. The waiter at the front desk said that a group of foreign officials came here for inspection. As for what to inspect, that is not something the hotel attendant can explain.
After eating, Leng Yiyao and M had almost grasped the basic situation of the hotel. It was almost six o'clock. M suddenly smiled softly at Leng Yiyao: "The highest snow peak in Duolin Kingdom is in Floating Light City. , the skiing here is particularly famous, do you want to try it tomorrow?”
There are seven days of National Day holiday, so they left one day early, and today is the first day. If you want to find out the truth, it is obviously impossible to get clues by taking a one-day trip to the palace of Duolin Kingdom. M knows the neighboring countries better than she does. Leng Yiyao took a deep look at his eyes and couldn't help but He moistened his lips and said, "Okay."
"There is a counter on the first floor that sells ski clothing and equipment. Go and have a look." M's side has already been prepared and there is no need to buy anything else. He glanced at the time and said, "I have something else to do, so I'm going back to my room first."
Laura and the others watched helplessly as the three men who were less talkative than them protected M and left. For a moment, they couldn't help complaining to Leng Yiyao: "I feel like this man is so cold." From the first moment they met , I feel a sense of alienation all over this man, and now the more I get around, the more I feel, where is the basic gentlemanly demeanor
Leng Yiyao shook her head. She still remembered this man's temperament, he was independent but could not hide his unruly nature. It's just that I'm not used to how to face her for a while.
After all, from being a commoner to being an uncle and niece by blood, the changes in your heart cannot be transformed overnight.
Another uncle, Lu Chen, had never contacted her again since at least that day at the royal party.
"Let's go and look at the ski clothes." She took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Hemmer. She briefly informed her of the hotel she was staying in and her basic plans, then waved her hands with a "tourist" expression on her face.
Among the three people, only Leng Yiyao has experience in skiing. Naturally, he brought it from his previous life and has never tried it since his rebirth. Therefore, everyone looked eager to give it a try.
The shopping guide was obviously used to such beginners and started to recommend products very conscientiously.
Ski goggles, ski clothing, snowboards, poles, gloves, helmets…. The equipment purchased by three people can almost form a hill.
Fortunately, the hotel has door-to-door delivery service, so they don’t need to do it themselves.
Leng Yiyao, Laura and the others returned to the room and realized that it was almost nine o'clock before they knew it.
Women, once you are shopping, no matter whether you are a soldier or not, you have no idea how fast time flies.
At this moment, Leng Yiyao's cell phone rang.
Laura and the deputy squad leader went directly to the bathroom to take a shower with a wink, leaving her a separate space.
She glanced at the caller ID and Hemo, and a smile unconsciously appeared in her eyes.
"Is it okay to stay in a hotel at night?" Over there, a low and magnetic voice came over, and it still sounded familiar. Unfortunately, there was a hint of ridicule in his voice, and Leng Yiyao knew what he meant without even guessing. After staying at the Marshal's Mansion for so long, when I arrived at the hotel, I am afraid that no matter how good the service is, it still doesn't feel wonderful.
This guy was just trying to make her a naughty girl, and he couldn't pay any attention to it outside. In the end, she could only fall into his cultivation plan.
"It's not bad. I also had roasted whole lamb in the evening, which was very delicious." She stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and opened the curtains. The top suites are always on the highest floor of the hotel. In the surrounding area, this seven-star hotel is the tallest building. In other words, if an assassin wants to attack this floor, there is no place to ambush and they can only rely on helicopter.
"It seems that the chef is going to undergo on-the-job training." In fact, Hemer had just finished handling the matter at hand. The National Day holiday has begun, and the number of people he wants to meet will only increase. Nowadays, the forces of various countries are intertwined. Some countries have vaguely received rumors, and there are also many people who come to the empire to test intelligence.
The empire is landlocked and surrounded by at least a dozen countries in total. Duolin is the neighboring country with the largest territory and the one with the most wars. Once the two countries go to war, it will naturally have ripple effects on other countries.
But speaking of this…
He rubbed his head and said, "When the foreign envoys met with the emperor today, something almost happened."
Leng Yiyao's face moved slightly. Being able to bring it up specifically for Helmer shows that there is a hidden mystery in it.
"Lu Chen's problem?" Although this person has matured a lot now, but after all, his age and qualifications are there, and there are no loyal ministers around him who can rely on. The royal family is just calm on the surface now.
Hemo shook his head and then realized that she couldn't see it at all, so he sighed: "The other party deliberately spied on the affairs of Duolin Kingdom. Lu Chen didn't know at all, so he prevaricated it. As a result, the other party thought that we were deliberately deceiving him, and his expression He immediately got angry and said that the empire looked down on their small country."
In fact, Lu Chen really wished for this, because he really didn't know about it at all.
The news in the military community is heavy. Since the last time he punished the group of senior officers who dared to leak his whereabouts throughout the empire, the entire military community has been purged by him. Now it is as surrounded as Tietong, and not a word of news can be leaked out. The royal family doesn't have much influence on the border at all, and they don't know about it until now. It's natural.
Leng Yiyao was embarrassed, Lu Chen was really taking the blame. However, he was not stupid and did not have a seizure on the spot. He probably would have asked the military for information as soon as the delegation left.
As a member of the royal family, it is natural to know things.
However, he had never dealt with Hemo. Leng Yiyao smiled sympathetically. It seemed that there was no peace in the empire today.
"What about you? How did you feel when you just arrived there?" Hemo called, but he just missed her. He didn't care how Lu Chen was doing. He was mainly worried about her schedule.
"Cold." Leng Yiyao did not hesitate.
Looking at the completely frozen streets outside, he couldn't help but shake his head: "I used to think that our imperial capital was already cold enough at night, but now I realized that I was a little outnumbered." The key is that it's so cold. In addition, she is also preparing to go skiing tomorrow. God bless me, I am simply finding "fun" for myself.
Hemo's heart warmed slightly when he heard her words, "Our imperial capital". "It's snowy and windy there all year round, and the climate is not good. You like warm places. When I'm done with this period of time, I'll take you to the south."
She smiled and said, "Okay. However, we are going to go skiing tomorrow. Is there any scenery you are interested in seeing that I can take pictures of?"
It was called "scenery", but both of them understood that it was just a cover.
On their way to the snow-capped mountains, they would naturally pass by the most heavily guarded military base in the entire Floating Light City.
"No need." Helmer refused directly: "What can be shown on the surface may not be true. Rather than spending that time selecting them one by one, it is better not to be affected."
If it were him, he wouldn't put the most powerful force where tourists can see it.
Leng Yiyao smiled and agreed smoothly.
"It's been a tiring day flying today, go to bed early." He advised. At this time, another call came in from the internal line. He finally said goodbye to her before hanging up the phone.
At the same time, in the bathroom, Laura and the deputy monitor had both taken a shower and came out, changed into light pajamas, their hair was wet, and they were obviously ready to blow-dry their hair.
Leng Yiyao looked at the phone for a long time and smiled softly.
"I dare to bet you that for one month's salary, Leng Yiyao was having a sweet time with the marshal just now." The deputy squad leader glanced at Leng Yiyao, who had always been cold and distant. At this moment, his expression was soft and his face was slightly rosy. What do you think? Why does she look like a little woman? There is no overlap with the image of the bully in the military academy.
"Haha, I bet you three months' salary and this call came from the marshal." Laura couldn't help but rolled her eyes. Isn't this the obvious reality? Still need to bet? Who else in the world could make Leng Yiyao look like this except the Marshal.
but…
Laura suddenly lowered her head and frowned. After Leng Yiyao went to the bathroom with a change of clothes, she whispered to the deputy monitor: "Don't you think that when Leng Yiyao first entered the school, the smell on her body was different from today's?" Does that M look similar?"
Except for the first class where Kings Kemp was knocked out instantly at the beginning, most of the time, there was a cold, indifferent feeling, with calm eyes but no strangers allowed to enter.
Hiss….
In this way, it does seem a bit similar.
The two looked at each other thoughtfully, and then moved their eyes away at the same time. Now that the marshal knows that Leng Yiyao came out with M, he probably doesn't need to be more wary of this person.
The thoughts that had been tense all day slowly slowed down. After the two of them finished blow-drying their hair, they quickly returned to their room and fell asleep in the blink of an eye.
When the three of them were woken up by the front desk's wake-up call service the next morning, it was already eight o'clock in the morning.
As soon as they went out, M and four others were already waiting for them in the rest area. Simply have breakfast and bring your equipment. The special car arranged by the hotel is already waiting at the door.
It took almost two hours to get there from the hotel. In the car, we turned on the music and played a few games.
M's attitude was obviously much more relaxed than yesterday. In addition to talking to Leng Yiyao, he also said a few words to Laura and the deputy squad leader.
In view of the fact that he and his subordinates all wear color-changing eyeglasses when they go out, and the color of his hair makes people think that he has different tastes. Probably because of what he thought about before going to bed last night, Laura and the deputy squad leader also treated him today. Much more relaxed and friendly.
Leng Yiyao only glanced at them, pretending not to know anything, watching them play games with a slight smile, and occasionally participating.
There are probably very few tourists like them who are not in a hurry. When they arrived, there were basically no people at the service desk.
They easily found a personal trainer to teach them one-on-one.
After all, Leng Yiyao had some basic knowledge. The coach gave some guidance and she quickly mastered it. She stood on the skateboard with a very relaxed posture. On the other hand, Laura and the deputy squad leader, complete outsiders, fell down several times. Fortunately, my hand and foot coordination is extraordinary, and I can gradually skate smoothly.
However, these are not as good as M's side.
Not to mention M, even the postures of the three men under him were as if the icebergs and snow peaks in front of them were like flat ground under their feet. In the air, no matter how difficult it is in the air, it remains incredibly stable when it lands on the snow. The key is that there is no rush of breath in their movements.
Clearly a master among masters.
"Where are they from? They feel more powerful than the people in our mixed class!" Laura and the deputy squad leader finally managed to slide a short distance without the help of the coach. As a result, when I see others showing off their skills like this, my heart is filled with chills. Unable to bear it, he whispered in Leng Yiyao's ear.
The people of the Ice Territory tribe were born in the Ice Territory and snowfields. For them, this kind of place is like a royal road. What others see as flying sky is probably a matter of course in their eyes.
She smiled and said, "If you have a chance, you and I can compete. Everyone has their own strengths. Just because they can ski doesn't necessarily mean they are better than you at everything."
She found that although Laura and the deputy squad leader were willing to endure hardships, in general, their thinking was still somewhat restricted by the traditional ideas of the empire. Once they find out where others are stronger than them, they still feel a little bit weak.
Since she brought them out, she still hopes that they can develop their skills.
Even if the Imperial Military Academy is one in a million, without practice and training, it will always be just a student in an ivory tower.
Laura and the deputy monitor stared at her for a long time, their eyes sparkling. Leng Yiyao is willing to think about them like this. Nothing gives them more confidence than this.
Thinking about it conversely, in the beginning, the reason why Leng Yiyao was able to run rampant in the military academy was not because of the marshal. It's because she is very strong!
Very strong!
He is so strong that he uses his strength to speak for himself and does not need to worry about anyone's eyes.
So, why can't they learn from her
When M came back from skating, he saw that the two beginners could already skate a few hundred meters decently. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and walked to Leng Yiyao: "Are you preparing to train?" My own people?”
There were so many guards in the Marshal's Mansion. She could just casually say that Hemo could help her deploy a dozen experts, just like the last time she returned to D City. Why did she do the opposite and insist on bringing two people from the military academy? Female students. Isn’t it very clear why
Presumably, Hemo also understood, so he let her come to the neighboring country.
No matter how much care you take, in the end, your own power is the real confidence.
As a man, he had to say that it was hard to find anyone else in the world who had such trust and support from Hemo to Leng Yiyao.
She didn't shy away from it either. She understood M's intelligence from the beginning. There is no need to talk nonsense in front of a discerning person: "It's fate after all. We can meet each other in our lifetime. It's great to be able to help them. As for whether they will become my people in the future..." She turned back and looked straight at His eyes: "It depends on luck."
Not everyone can understand what she really thinks. The road ahead will have to be decided upon. Now, it's just for emergencies.
M couldn't help but touched the top of her head anyway. There was a sigh in his eyes: "If you weren't my niece, maybe the current situation wouldn't be so simple."
"Huh?" She was stunned for a moment. When she realized what he was talking about, he had already turned around and went directly to the higher slide.
Isn't she his niece
M was different to her, and it was obvious from the beginning.
The current situation is simply because of the admirers behind her, even if the emperor is included, Lu Chen has no competitiveness in front of Hemo.
But, does he have the confidence to compete
She smiled, turned her head to look at Laura and accidentally fell down, and quickly got up again.
However, by saying this bluntly in front of her, it seemed that he was completely ready to let go.
They are all obviously blood relatives, but no matter how unwilling they are to accept the reality, there will be no result. He was smart, she knew that from the start.
"Leng Yiyao!" In the distance, Laura and the deputy squad leader had arrived at the designated resting point and waved to Leng Yiyao.
She smiled, put down the blindfold, and rushed down the slide!
Because they ate late in the morning, they played until nearly one o'clock before going to the revolving restaurant near the snow mountain.
Most of the people here are tourists, some of whom I met at the hotel yesterday. Some people came over to say hello in good faith. They were also very casual, chatting while waiting for the food.
This time I ordered roasted suckling pig as a side dish after the appetizer, followed by hot mushroom soup.
After getting acquainted with each other for most of the morning, Laura and the deputy squad leader were obviously able to get along well with the three people under M. They asked them about skiing skills in a low voice. When it came to the key point, their eyes were bright, which surprised the three people a little. .
At the beginning, they could see the restraint of these two people. I don’t know why, but I feel a lot more relaxed today.
At the same time, they obviously noticed that there seemed to be a barrier suddenly broken between M and Leng Yiyao, who had been keeping quiet together, and the two of them talked much more casually. Even, M would occasionally prepare dishes for Leng Yiyao.
However, that kind of look is not like the ambiguity of a man towards a woman, but more like an elder towards a younger generation.
elder
Looking at M's obviously young and handsome face, everyone was speechless for a long time.
Is this premature aging or precocious puberty
Leng Yiyao knew that since M had let go, she naturally didn't criticize him. Once the emotion of embarrassment has passed, when he looks back, he will feel that those fragmentary emotions were inexplicable.
Just as Laura and the deputy squad leader felt that she and M had some inexplicable aura similarities, in some aspects, she did feel inexplicably close to M from the beginning. Otherwise, we would not have had a feast with him in the sky restaurant when we met again in the imperial capital.
"It's too cold here at night, so we'll go back around four o'clock." Although there are hotels near the snow-capped mountains, most of them are owned by local residents, and their quality is not comparable to those in the city center. When it snows at night, two people cannot see each other even if they stand only two meters apart.
Leng Yiyao is naturally meaningless. Although he can endure hardship, why ask for hardship when he can avoid it.
After the group finished eating and played on the snow trails for more than an hour, they began to pack up and prepare to return.
It was still the hotel's special car that came to pick them up. The driver was a very polite person. Seeing that they came back early and were not in a hurry, he started chatting with a smile.
M asked his men to give the driver a tip and joked: "It's our first time in 'Floating City'. We don't know much about the local situation. Can you introduce it to us?"
With the hefty tip, the driver almost smiled. He nodded immediately, picked up what he knew and said: "Actually, the population here is very small. Although it is the capital, many rich people move to the south. . There are blizzards here at least half of the year, and most outsiders can't stand it. Fortunately, the ski resort here is famous at home and abroad, and many people come here. Well, just like you." He He smiled and drove at an increasingly steady speed. He took some time to organize his words before continuing: "However, we are quite rich in products here, especially food. There are many forests here, and there are many mountain products that you can take back. .”
He said there were many forests here, and Leng Yiyao and Laura couldn't help but be curious.
In this great north, where the temperature is so low, where are the forests? You can see green in the hotel, which is made of real gold and silver. Is it the same in the outdoor forest
Laura couldn't help but asked. The driver laughed and replied: "Yes, we have specially developed an indoor forest here. I heard that there is a golden city in a neighboring country. It was built with real gold and cost a huge amount of money. What we are most proud of here is It’s this indoor forest. A huge climate-controlled greenhouse was built specifically to grow green trees. Think about it, this is almost a hundred years old.”
Leng Yiyao herself was "born" in D city. For people of this era, she is mentally prepared for the luxurious side. However, when I heard the news, the first thing that came to my mind was that these people in Floating Light City were burning their money too hard.
A forest is not a forest.
The forest that was specially moved from the tropics at Shengde High School for the special classes has already attracted a lot of comments as "luxury". This, is this a living area of opening, specifically transplanted into a forest
The people in Floating Light City are really good at playing.
"Where is the forest? Can we go and have a look?" Leng Yiyao asked meaningfully.
Unexpectedly, the driver shook his head: "Except for the royal family members who go to the forest every year when the mountain products are harvested, no one else is allowed to enter." Unlike the Empire, the Duolin Kingdom does not have three realms coexisting. It is all said by the royal family. Have the final say.
Well, this is interesting.
This forest is passed down by word of mouth among the people and is not allowed to the locals. What secrets are hidden there
She and M looked at each other, with an interesting look in their eyes.
The driver didn't seem to feel anything was wrong with the atmosphere in the car, and continued to introduce: "The local products here are usually sold in hotels, and they are basically unavailable outside. I'm not exaggerating, but we have souvenir ribbons from Floating Light City. When you go out, many people are vying to get it. If you are interested, you can go to the sales office on the first floor and ask when you leave."
This is a bit of a tendency to sell melons to Wang Po and brag about oneself.
Leng Yiyao led him to change the topic: "I see that there aren't many vehicles on the road here. Is it because there are few people?"
The driver was talking enthusiastically when he suddenly got choked up and glanced out the window. Indeed, there were only a few cars on this road, and most of them were special cars for tourists traveling to and from hotels and ski resorts. So he sighed. His tone: "This is not just because of the small number of people. We have a slight disadvantage, that is, we have few resources." As he drove, he motioned for them to look east: "Look, over there!"
Everyone in the car, except the driver, looked outside the car, and sure enough, they saw a lot of huge things.
That is… .
Leng Yiyao and M squinted their eyes at the same time. It turned out that there were many large oil drilling rigs and pumping units standing on the outskirts of the city...
This is very rare in a developed city, let alone a capital city.
"Our country has very little energy," the driver explained to them. "Not to mention the renewable resources oil, the non-renewable resources wind energy and solar energy are very scarce. Recently I heard that there is oil being mined nearby, so the royal family issued an order , let it be excavated.”
No wonder.
Most of the energy that cars use is not available here. Relying entirely on imports will inflate supplies. In addition, the local population is already small, so it is natural that there are few vehicles.
but…
There is a shortage of energy.
Leng Yiyao and M looked at each other for a long time, and smiled elegantly at the same time.
Laura and the deputy squad leader just felt confused. Is there anything unexpected about this kind of thing
Their imperial capital is also extremely unbalanced in terms of materials
Why do you always feel that Leng Yiyao got some information from those simple words just now
Along the way, only the driver was still dutifully introducing the local customs, but Leng Yiyao and M did not ask any more questions.
When we got back to the hotel, sure enough, it was already dark.
Outside, heavy snow suddenly blew.
The driver shook his head: "Looking at this situation, it's best to go out late tomorrow, otherwise the road will be too slippery and the car will easily roll over."
Leng Yiyao and the others nodded without saying anything more. Once all the salutes in the car are unloaded, the group will return to their rooms.
