It's the age of cyber, and you're still a traditional villain?

Chapter 220 Yecheng Iai, Kid (Ask for a monthly pass!)

Long live!
At that time, I just said a word, who would have thought that it would be right?
Looking at the Queen of the Hualan Empire, who was exactly the same as his teasing, Xu Shi wondered for a while, whether he was born with a double ability to follow his words?
It's no wonder the girls looked at him with such expressions, even the clothes were painted exactly, dare you say that you really haven't been here?
Oh, I am wronged!If I really have this kind of ability, I will make a wish for the people of "Tianli" to go out and turn into flannel balls... Xu Shi secretly complained, but he couldn't show his face, and still bowed slightly politely.

"Xu Shi, the envoy of Night Sin City, represented our country and met Her Majesty the Empress."

His etiquette was still very thoughtful - he had consulted with Pan Cheng before he came here, and the others imitated the etiquette after seeing this.

When meeting someone for the first time, always be friendly.

Of course, it was difficult for people to feel this when the family just entered the door with a candy apple in their hands, gnawing on it...

"City of Night Sins...?"

The queen on the throne blinked, showing a cute and sweet smile, "I've heard Grand Duke Gu Jian say it before!"

"The Hualan Empire has never been visited by outsiders. You are the first batch."

The youthful vigor on the Queen's body dilutes the lifelessness of the ministers around her, and she looks back and forth like a curious baby, "I've been looking forward to it for a few days, now I see that you look no different from us, it's just this clothes It's kind of weird..."

"His Majesty."

The resolute middle-aged man with the saber reminded you in a low voice, you should jump off the throne if you don't stop me...

"Huh?... Oh, cough, cough!"

The empress realized that she was a little rude after hearing the words, she quickly cleared her throat, and assumed a majestic kingly posture, "I am the No. 20 sixth generation emperor of the Hualan Empire, Dongfang Xiao, all the envoys don't need to be polite."

Dongfang Xiao?He really lived up to his name, he was quite small... Xu Shi complained silently in his heart.

Small in every sense of the word.

As for the person next to her, it should be the "Grand Duke of Ancient Sword" in her mouth.

He had done his homework when he was in Yinsong Island, and he also had a certain understanding of the political power of the Hualan Empire.

The royal family pursues a feudal monarchy, so under the emperor, there will naturally be princes, princes, princes, and so on.

And this Grand Duke Gu Jian is the most powerful among them, his real name is Cheng Gu Jian, he is from a family of generals, and in his generation, it is not an exaggeration to say that he can cover the sky with one hand.

In fact, it can be seen that this person clears his throat and no one else dares to fart, and he can wear armor and swords above the court, which is a great privilege in this system, otherwise why don't others have it?

Even he can see that even this little queen has to listen to him.

The standard master and minister doubts...

"What is Xu envoy here for?"

He was feeling emotional when Dongfang Xiao on the throne spoke, his seriousness was not at all as innocent as before, and there was even a scrutiny in his eyes.

"I am waiting here, one is to establish diplomatic relations, and the other is to do business."

Xu Shi responded calmly. To be honest, he was not used to this kind of nonsense, but he did as the Romans did, so he had to change his words, "I didn't know there were other countries overseas before I waited. The order of the governor of my city."

"The Governor?"

Dongfang Xiao was a little curious, Xu Shi knew them well, but they didn't know much about Xu Shi and his party.

"It's about the same status as Your Majesty the Empress?"

Xu Shi explained, "We are all under her command."

Well, yes, there is nothing wrong with it in name, but the girls behind me just suppressed their laughter when they heard the words.

"Oh……"

The little queen nodded thoughtfully, but before she could say anything else, a courtier in the audience spoke first.

"It is said to be the establishment of diplomatic relations, but we have heard that when you were in Yinsong Island, you once shot and injured the Holy See knight?"

The old man's words were sharp, "Such an attitude is not friendly, which makes us suspicious."

Just because they don't know much about Xu Shi doesn't mean they don't understand, at least this matter has been spread in the upper circles of the empire - it's okay if you don't want to spread it, Luo Yu will come back a few days first, no matter how good the cover-up is, it will inevitably be revealed The wind goes.

No matter how you look at it, bloody clashes erupted when they first arrived. It was inevitable that they would be vigilant, otherwise it wouldn't be the battle it is today.

To be honest, today's imperial palace is quite depressing, everyone is dressed in black and armor, and the guards are also heavily guarded. It is nothing more than being enlivened by the words and deeds of the little queen Dongfang Xiao, which makes it not so obvious.

Of course, this is not entirely for the sake of the Holy See, and the relationship between the royal family and them may not be very good... But in front of outsiders, they have to pretend, and there is also a hint of condescending warning.

"It sounds very similar to the people of Yinsong Island, a group of barbarians."

Some people immediately sneered and agreed, and it can be seen that the old minister is not the only one who holds this idea, and the majority are those who are wary of them.

"Who do you call a barbarian?!"

Pan Feng who was behind Xia Wuyou couldn't hear these words, and couldn't help roaring for a moment.

If it wasn't for her master, she wouldn't be willing to deal with the people of the empire, especially these officials and ministers—after all, she is also the daughter of the island owner. It's not that she hasn't come to the main city with her father to gain knowledge, then she can feel Got it, the people of the Hualan Empire have always looked down on their people from Yinsong Island.

Not to mention that they forced her father to go to sea to take risks, and she was restrained if she didn't get started directly.

Everyone in Night Sin City can hold their breath. They are all old fritters and they will not be angered by a few words, but they will be unhappy. No one wants to be labeled such a hat when they come up.

"That's too hurtful."

Xu Shi's eyes became cold, but there was still a smile on his face, "There is a reason why you did it. Your Templars want to detain you without any explanation. I don't resist that bastard."

"I don't know who is being rude... This old Deng, ah no, old gentleman, let me ask, if the Templars want to arrest you and put you in jail just because of suspicion, will you resist or not?"

He walked towards the old minister slowly, and asked with great interest.

"I……"

The old man was at a loss for words for a while, and didn't know how to answer.

If you talk about resistance, it is equivalent to overturning your own questioning just now. You can't do it yourself and still ask others?

But if he didn't resist, wouldn't he be the bastard that Xu Shi talked about?
Of course, the yin and yang strangeness that was rubbed in the dark is a trivial matter. If you really hold your neck and say that you don’t resist the two on the stage, you will not agree. If he is really too friendly with the Holy See, he should be suspected... The ass problem should not be underestimated, and accidents will happen if he says a wrong word.

He is the head of the troublemaker, and the others dare not say anything, and those who are less timid even turn their heads away, and dare not even look at it for a while.

"OK OK."

At this moment, Cheng Gujian knocked on the beam with the scabbard, "It's really not certain, it's your old man Zhang's fault."

"Whether to establish diplomatic relations can not be decided by arguing... I am more interested in what novelty did the envoy bring since he said that he wanted to do business?"

"Our city-state is martial, and what we bring is mostly weapons, as well as some medicines, and small items for daily use."

Xu Shi said patiently, "But considering that there are weapons, it's not easy to bring them in, they are still kept outside the palace."

"Then bring it in quickly, I'm sure."

Dongfang Xiao hurriedly urged, looking forward to it.

With her permission, after a while, mouthfuls of boxes were brought in.

"This is?"

When the box was opened, everyone in the Hualan Empire was a little curious. They had never seen strange shapes before... You can see that some of them should be guns?But the difference from their arquebus is not small.

What to use for business was selected and confirmed by Xu Shi early in the morning. They were all things that the Hualan Empire did not have, such as the best-selling "Telequake" rifle in the city of Night Sin, and the wound medicine "Panacea" Wait... If you use what other people have to do business, you will only make jokes.

As for the explanations, it was Jiang Chengcheng and Xie Qingyan who were going to do it. The professionalism was there. Anyway, Xiao Xu didn't have any obvious ideas. What should I do if I feel timid?
But this seems to be his overthinking, because people in the Hualan Empire can't understand things that are too professional...

Fortunately, I brought a helper like Miss Xiaomei. Jiang Chengcheng communicated with her a lot on the island, and many things can be translated into the vocabulary of the empire by her. In addition, there are also mechanics among the field workers, so it is easy to understand. It's not too difficult either.

Of course, the more intuitive thing is to demonstrate directly, go to the open space outside the palace gate and shoot twice, who doesn't know what this is for?

"Your stuff is very interesting."

The little queen Dongfang Xiao didn't hide her praise at all, "It's all new things that I haven't seen before."

What's more important is that these things are not small, which attracts her even more.

Someone asked a more professional question, "These weapons and medicines...these "divine breath" are not strong? "

"Is such that."

Xie Qingyan nodded slightly, "Like these guns, you don't need "rust mist", ah, that is, your "divine breath" can also be fired, some of the medicine will be added, but the proportion will not be very high. "

After all, this is not exclusive to the "upgraded", most of the non-"upgraded" are the objects of consideration by the major consortiums, but there are only a few weapons and medicines that rely on "rust mist". It was only after the Forgotten brought a high concentration of "Rust Mist" ore.

This undoubtedly surprised everyone in the empire.

Xu Shi had expected their reaction, because when he came here, he discovered that the people here rely far more on the technology of "Rust Mist" than in Night Sin City, and it can even be said that they have abandoned seriousness because of this. technological path.

For example, the compass in Pan Cheng's hand at that time was a good example. Even the small snack stand selling sugar apples just now, the lamps and lanterns used by the boss for lighting are all "rust mist" technology, and a liquid "rust mist" needs to be added. "Fuel can last the lighting.

Including the sword array that the Templars besieged him at that time, and the saber they used, it was also a show of force in a certain sense, which opened Xu Shi's eyes.

This is equivalent to manufacturing most of the things according to the standards of "twin life" and "sublimation"... But they are unexpectedly lagging behind in some aspects, let alone ships, and even horse-drawn carriages for daily travel?
It can only be said that it is in line with the slightly fantasy medieval world in Xu Shi's impression. Not to mention nanotechnology, the internal combustion engine and steam engine are all new things to them.

"It looks like something, but I don't know if it's an airs."

However, there is no shortage of voices of opposition. There are still discordant voices among the opposition just now, "For barbarians, if you don't use the "divine breath", I'm afraid it's because of the lack of divine grace. I don't know how to use it? "

Don't look at this group of people who stopped for a while under Cheng Gujian's scolding just now, but they are still unconvinced in their hearts. This is not a prejudice that Xu Shi can dispel with two or three sentences.

Xu Shi expressed his understanding of this. When people encounter unknown things, apart from being curious, they often have doubts.

And there is also the kind of "our empire is the best" mentality here. Naturally, we will subconsciously deny foreign people and things. Think about the "Forgotten" before, even if they bring good things, it's not the same Overwhelmed and unable to hold your head up?

There is no lack of him doing bad things in it, but if everyone didn't have this intention in the first place, he wouldn't have such a good effect if he was bad enough to go to the center of the earth.

but.

As he himself said, understanding and acceptance are often two different things.

"The gentleman is quite right."

So he sighed, walked straight to the other party, and sent a sincere invitation, "You can learn the true knowledge through practice, but we will explain and show it, and it's useless to be extravagant... I think you are a general, so it's better to have a real knife and a real gun." practice?"

This is easy to recognize, the clothes on the civil servants and generals are different, and look at the knotted muscles and calluses on the hands, no one will believe that it is not a general.

"it's here?"

The muscular man was stunned, and immediately looked at Dongfang Xiao who was sitting on the throne, "Your Majesty, this..."

"Okay, okay, I think it's okay."

Dongfang Xiao nodded vigorously, with an expression of eating melons and watching a show, "This envoy Xu is right, how will you know if you don't try?"

"...then try it."

Cheng Gujian made a final decision, "If I remember correctly, your name is Fan Shigui? You used to work in the Knights of the King's Court, and you were promoted in the past two months... The "God's Chosen" at the "Rock" level is also strong enough, it's up to you to try try. "

"……Yes!"

Fan Shigui took a deep breath, the Grand Duke had already spoken, and he had to bite the bullet if he didn't want to be such an early bird.

"So you came to fight me?"

He gritted his teeth, looked at Xu Shi and asked.

"I fight you to bully you."

Xu Shi smiled lightly and shook his head, "Many people in our mission fight you because they bully you... Ah, how about this, Xiao Feng, you come?"

He waved to Pan Feng, who was still sulking, "Let me introduce you. Miss Pan Feng is my wife's apprentice, from Yinsong Island. How long have you been a teacher? Two weeks?"

"……I?"

Hearing that Xu Shi had tapped himself, Pan Feng was still in a daze, and looked at Xia Wuyou worriedly.

"Master, I, I'm still just a "God's Chosen One" at the "Qingchen" level, I feel that I may not be able to..."

She is not afraid of pain or losing, but what she is afraid of is that she will lose face to her master and father after losing, not to mention that this group of people just ridiculed them, what if she can't beat them?
"It doesn't matter, just use what I have taught you during this time."

Xia Wuyou encouraged her, "Believe in your master, and more importantly, believe in yourself."

It's better to believe in Xu Shi, if he dares to arrange this way, there will be no problem...even if Pan Feng, who is equivalent to C+ level, fights against Fan Shigui, who is at B level.

"it is good!"

Pan Feng nodded vigorously. Why didn't she want to prove that the people of Yinsong Island are no weaker than anyone else, let alone the barbarians in the population of the empire.

For this, she has to do her best.

On the contrary, on the opposition side, after hearing that Pan Feng was just a fledgling girl, the atmosphere relaxed a lot.

"Old Fan, we got out of the knife point!"

Someone jokingly said, "Don't lose your share!"

"Yes, be more energetic!"

Fan Shigui was still worried at first, should I say that there are indeed several in this mission that seem difficult, at least not simple to him...but this little barbarian girl from Yinsong Island is not among them.

I feel better.

He shook his head and shouted vigorously, "屮!"

……

The duel took place in the courtyard outside the palace.

Holding an alloy war blade, Pan Feng opened his posture, and Xu Shi also prepared a set of light armor for her. The more he looked, the more he looked like a youthful version of Xia Xiaomao.

Fan Shigui was the standard outfit for warriors of the Hualan Empire, with pitch-black armor and two swords, one long and one short.

"Wait a minute."

Xu Shi asked an extra question before the start of the battle, "The sparring belongs to the sparring, what should I do if I get hurt?"

"It's normal to be injured in a martial arts competition."

Cheng Gujian said calmly, "It can only mean that the skills are not as good as people."

"Grand Duke Gu Jian means that life and death do not matter?"

Xu Shi blinked.

"Yes! Live or die!"

Cheng Gujian hadn't answered yet, but someone else started clamoring.

"...Little girl, don't blame me if you get hurt!"

Fan Shigui couldn't hold back any longer, his swords were out of their sheaths while he was speaking, and he slashed at Pan Feng's head.

Don't talk about martial arts!

The pattern on the long sword flashed, and the blade suddenly burst into flames.

Seeing the temperature on his body suddenly rise, it is obvious that this is a "God's Chosen One" with fire abilities.

However, before the sword move fell, Pan Feng had already dodged it deftly at an extremely fast speed.

Compared with when we first met her, her combat skills have also improved a lot, at least she has used her own "acceleration" ability more easily.

The master has always taught her that since it is a battle, she must find a way to maximize the effectiveness of the ability.

That, for her, was about getting faster.

UI.

Simple acceleration is not as treacherous as Su Lin's teleportation or Ye Shanshan's latent image, but the visual effect it brings is also good - the sword light pulls out afterimages, and if you lose your mind, you will not be able to keep up with her rhythm.

At least for a while, Fan Shigui was caught off guard, causing her to land several sword strikes at the right time.

When the alloy sword in resonance mode hit the armor, it cut out cracks!

The onlookers' eyes widened instantly, is it real or not?
The "light dust" level is pressing against the "rock"?

Mint it, why is it such a dish?

Fan Shigui, did you give the examiner money during the assessment?
Fan Shigui was also stunned. Although it can't be said that he didn't take the opponent seriously, it is true that he underestimated the enemy, but he never expected that Pan Feng's fighting level was far beyond his imagination!
Seriously!

After all, he was a royal knight who had experienced many battles. He was not slow to regain his form. He caught Pan Feng's movements within a few breaths, and accurately blocked her fatal blow.

Immediately afterwards, the flames on his body became stronger and stronger, not only wrapping him tightly, but also spreading to the ground around him, creating an effect like a protective shield!

Although the numbness in his body has not dissipated, it is obvious that from now on, the effect of melee attacks on him will be greatly weakened.

"Death to me!"

With a roar, he rushed towards Pan Feng wrapped in flames, vowing to kill him with one move!

To be honest, being beaten like this by a "Qingchen" is already a shameful thing, and now he is very eager to get his place back.

However, when Pan Feng saw this, he immediately stopped his close combat posture, retreated back, and pulled away lightly.

Followed by.

She put away the alloy sword with her backhand, and then flipped her wrist, revealing the small "Fire Snake".

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.

Almost instantly, she emptied the magazine towards Fan Shigui, pointing the gun at the vital point.

Seeing the oncoming bullets, Fan Shigui snorted in disdain.

Is the flame barrier really vegetarian?Just a few bullets also want to...

Before he finished speaking, he saw that the bullet penetrated the barrier effortlessly. It just paused on his armor for a moment, and then it pierced through his body completely!

This is not finished.

In the next second, there were explosions on his body one after another.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!
"Ahhhhhhh-"

The wailing sound resounded throughout the courtyard, and the flames on Fan Shigui's body faded uncontrollably.

The smoke and dust dispersed, and he had fallen to the ground like a dead dog.

The aftertaste of electric sparks wandered over his body, causing him to twitch from time to time.

This is just a nerve reaction caused by the electric current, and his whole body has lost its vitality.

Everyone in the Hualan Empire was dumbfounded.

Xu Shi snapped his fingers.

Of course, what Xia Wuyou taught Pan Feng was not as simple as simple martial arts.

Where would a person from Night Sin City specialize in melee combat techniques?They were all switched from melee to long-range combat... Even Xia Xiaomao was a minority, and more people were used to simple long-range firepower suppression.

Night City Iage, boy, times have changed.

"You played well, you didn't embarrass your master."

He whistled lightly, and gave Pan Feng a thumbs-up, "Now I know why your master always tells you not to scream when fighting?"

"Because that's useless, it's what you should do to find a way to turn the other party into a corpse."

"……Yes!"

Pan Feng was taken aback for a moment, then nodded vigorously.

She was actually a little shocked. After all, it was just training before, and it was only the first time for her to fight with real swords and guns.

So at the beginning, she was a little worried. The things the master taught her are very handsome, but she is not sure about the effect. Will it produce the effect as imagined?
Hello, yes.

At least it is an indisputable fact that she defeated Fan Shigui within a few rounds, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was an instant kill with dried bamboo shoots.

This was something she hadn't thought about at all, and it made her very happy.

done!
Seeing this, Xu Shi just smiled slightly, then walked towards Fan Shigui's charred body, and stepped on it fiercely.

"Can you still talk?"

　Please count the votes, I have never asked for it before... But the data has been a bit sluggish recently, so I have the cheek to open my mouth, obviously I have been working hard this month to explode the update...
