Great time travel

Chapter 20, Good Gathering, Good Separation
20 days later, the Royal Palace of Knossos City, the royal garden full of flowers and green grass

Doraemon, Carol, and King Minos sat together in the small gazebo, drinking juice, eating snacks, and playing with various gadgets while smiling.

——After several days of exciting and exciting "indoor travel", King Minos' mental state, which was originally sluggish, has obviously improved a lot.As for the long-suffering body, it has already been healed by Doraemon.

Therefore, after overcoming the last psychological barrier and being persuaded by Carol, the sickly young man finally had the courage to really walk out of the deep palace, bathed in the warm sunshine of the Mediterranean Sea, and breathed a few breaths of fresh air blown by the sea breeze. air out.

Even the female officers serving King Minos now have no objection to letting the little king out for some air—they have been experiencing holographic images for the past two days and taking indoor tours together, such as the deserts of Egypt, East Africa, etc. The grasslands of China, the tropical rain forests of Southeast Asia, the frozen tundra of Siberia, the vast waves of the Atlantic Ocean, the ice and snow fields of the Antarctic and the Arctic, and the wonderful scenery on the moon and Mars. It's basically numb, now it's just letting the king sit in the imperial garden, so what's the matter?

Before leaving the palace, Minos felt a little regretful, because today he might not be able to continue to use that magical machine to see those unheard-of scenery—he was already tired of seeing the scenery of his own royal garden.Unexpectedly, after I really came out, I had more fun.

——Before, in that cellar-like deep palace, Doraemon had many props that could not be used due to the limited area of ​​the venue.After arriving in the spacious imperial garden, all kinds of weird props were put out in piles, such as [clockwork submarine], [shock gun] that can stun animals without hurting their fur , There are all kinds of wonderful board games.In particular, the [Bamboo Dragonfly], which allows people to fly freely in the air, made the frail King Minos so envious that he wanted one too.

So, Doraemon had to explain that [Bamboo Dragonfly] looks simple, but it is very dangerous to use. If you are not skilled, you may break your neck if you are not careful, so it is not recommended for beginners and the weak. use.At the same time, he took out a [human-powered pedal plane] that is said to be the most popular children's toy in the 22nd century, and let a guard who claimed to be brave and strong sit in and practice how to fly. It is expected that this guy will fly proficiently. , you can take the king on the back seat for a ride... As a result, this thing is as difficult as a children's toy to use. In just one morning, all the maids and guards in the imperial garden happily flew up to the sky once.

In the end, Minos, who looked up to the sky and had a sore neck, finally realized his dream of flying, and he went to the sky with the daughter of the Nile River he had been thinking about—but what is more embarrassing is that due to long-term illness and lack of physical strength, it can only be Kai. Luo Er stepped on the board and flew Minos, which made this sullen little man feel a little awkward... But seeing the blond beauty's hearty laughter, the entanglement in his heart disappeared with the wind.

It has to be admitted that Doraemon, a cat-shaped household parenting robot, is really good at training children.Even a useless coward like Nobi Nobita can force this blue cat to become a senior elite civil servant bureaucrat of Japan's Ministry of the Environment and a superhero who saved N worlds. (According to Nobi Nobita's temperament, I think the former seems to be more difficult than the latter.) Not to mention King Minos, who is both sensible and polite-although he has been ill since he was a child, it was difficult to go out, and he was unable to participate in physical exercise , but Minos' thirst for knowledge is still strong, and cultural learning has never fallen behind. His manner of speaking and book knowledge are enough to be called scholars in this era.In the words of Doraemon, it can almost be compared with Izuki Sugi-kun (an excellent example of a school master in "Doraemon", I don't know if you still have an impression).

Therefore, looking at the endless new gadgets in Doraemon's pockets, Minos really fell into the Mitun like a mouse.There are also some small games that are entertaining and entertaining, as well as some novel knowledge that Doraemon casually said. He also learned eagerly. Thinking about it in the future... For a while, I actually lived more and more energetically.

On the other hand, seeing her son's radiant eyes, increasingly rosy face, and hearty and cheerful laughter, the Queen Mother was also moved to tears, and turned around and ordered that she must give generously to all benefactors and give everything she had... So, The animals in Minoan’s palace suffered just like the crocodiles in the Egyptian palace—according to Wang Qiu’s experience over the past few years, all kinds of wild animals seem to be the most cost-effective pawns at the moment: don’t you see a small A little wild crocodile can't be exchanged for a bronze knife in these days, but it is enough to sell tens of thousands of yuan in modern times?

Although there are no crocodiles on Crete, as the earliest maritime overlord in human history, maritime merchants and navigators from various countries seek asylum in order to please the court. There are also many rare birds and animals that have paid tribute to the Minoan royal family over the years.

For example, at this moment, Wang Qiu is staying in another corner of the imperial garden, watching Doraemon, Kai Luoer and King Minos having fun in the distance, and at the same time teasing a cat with great interest. Dark blue parrot - This parrot is sitting on a delicate wooden stand, the whole body is bright blue, only the throat and upper chest are white, and there are lighter colored radial feathers on the top of the head, which is particularly distinctive different.Right now, this chubby bird has been fed by the maids to be quite docile. When Wang Qiu approached with an unknown flower, it still had a good face and ended the chit chat with his compatriots, bouncing around. Going over, sucking up the nectar with the slender tongue, then cutely licked the dark orange bird's beak a few times, and narrowed the peas with a satisfied expression. Small appearance, really cute.

Although this type of parrot specialized in sucking honey, although it looks very beautiful, due to the narrow diet, it was seriously endangered in the [-]th century, and it has basically disappeared on all continents of the world. Only a few islands in the South Pacific still have a few species. Remnants... If those senior biologists or fanatical environmentalists, after seeing such a group of rare birds, I am afraid that they would have been so excited that they would have danced and called for joy.

But in the eyes of Wang Qiu, who lacks both love and environmental awareness, these are just a group of banknotes that can walk.

In short, he just grabbed the little bird calmly, stuffed it into the [Automatic Pawn Machine], and then counted the stack of banknotes that spit out from it.

——Well, I really don't understand Fengya at all, it can be called burning the piano and cooking the crane.

"... 20 yen? It doesn't seem to be as valuable as I imagined!" He smacked his lips and muttered dissatisfiedly, and at the same time cast his eyes on other corners of the imperial garden, "...Fortunately, the stupid bird in this garden There are many more... Well, the potted flowers seem to be quite expensive..."

——Hey, I hope God blesses the royal garden of the Minoan Palace, after this catastrophe, there will be a few weeds left...

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In addition to playing with the children step by step and scraping the land desperately, there have been other news on Crete in the past few days.

First of all, after being exposed by the traversers in advance of the conspiracy of Mycenaean spies to poison the king's "miracle medicine", the terrified Queen Mother immediately ordered the whole country to be martial law, and the whole territory was seized.Unexpectedly, the harvest was unexpected, not only uncovered the spy network of the Mycenaeans, but also a rebellious conspiracy of the Athenian laborers (the whole of Greece at that time was theoretically under the jurisdiction of Crete, and the city-states They all surrendered to the Minoan royal family. But in fact, they are at most similar to the Holy Roman Empire. There are two wars between each other for three days, and there is basically no such luxury as loyalty), and they even fight Rabbit, caught the Hittite prince Izmi who was instigating the Athenians on the spot!

How should I describe this guy, Izumi?Uh, this gentleman is a handsome silver-haired man who thinks he is very sensible and looks like a prince, but is actually quite brain-dead. The relationship between Carol is very similar to Tom and Jerry in "Tom and Jerry". They are really a natural enemy and a sadomasochistic love... Ever since his debut, this prince has left the country affairs behind and ignored them all. As a spy, Tian led a group of people to stay abroad, chasing after the daughter of the Nile.

In the original plot, he kidnapped Kyrol from different places such as Egypt and Assyria again and again, and even did not hesitate to offend the king of Egypt, rashly provoking a large-scale war between Egypt and Hittite.Next, the prince, who was the first supporting actor, actually fell in love with Kyroll for a long time, and even confessed his love to her, but then tortured her in various ways, trying to use violence to force her to submit, and still Carol is surrounded by confidantes who are always watching.But time and time again, Kyroll escaped successfully and returned to the arms of King Memphis of Egypt...

Therefore, the brainless and unlucky silver-haired prince had no choice but to laugh at himself and said that it doesn't matter if the daughter of the Nile River becomes the princess of Egypt. Carol tied back.

Now this time, he also heard the news that the Daughter of the Nile River was going to the Minoa Kingdom. Like a moth to a flame, he couldn't wait to cross the sea from Asia Minor, trying to attack Kyrol again... As a result, he just entered the country , was caught by the Minoan army, who was on the verge of a formidable enemy, and returned all the stolen goods, and unfortunately became a prisoner all of a sudden.Fortunately, this guy immediately revealed his identity as the crown prince, so he didn't suffer much in the dark prison.

Alas, speaking of it, as the crown prince of a large country in West Asia, it may be your duty to lead the army. It is also normal to participate in diplomatic mediation, and it is not impossible to even preside over counter-espionage work in the country. Prince, the sole heir sneaked into the enemy country to be a spy?Is this because King Hittite didn't take this son seriously and wanted to abolish the reserve on purpose?Or has Hittite's kingship fallen to such a point?
Fortunately, the Kingdom of Minoa is not Egypt, and it is not in a state of war with the Hittites for the time being.In the absence of actual damage, the ruling queen mother did not intend to rashly offend the powerful neighbor of the Hittite Empire.So after verifying his authenticity, the Queen Mother just found a post house for Prince Izmi and put him under house arrest. She planned to take advantage of the festival in a few days to hold a symbolic banquet for the troublemaker, and then sent him back. thing.

In this regard, although General Unas, the captain of the Egyptian guard, was a little unwilling and wanted to take the opportunity to wipe out Izmi, the old enemy, but the innocent and kind Princess Kairol had no such intentions. On the ground, I had no choice but to suppress my thoughts, not daring to talk nonsense.

Secondly, because King Minos played too HAPPY with the [indoor travel machine] in the palace, he completely forgot to follow the plot of the original book and took Carol for a ride on a boat, so naturally he would not be unlucky to encounter a pirate ship.And a certain minotaur hiding in the seaside grotto lost the chance to appear very aggrievedly.As an avid archaeologist, Kairoll also did not have the opportunity to see the Minoa Naval Base on the volcanic island with his own eyes.

Thirdly, Carol, who has been playing in the Minoan Palace, was tricked into the labyrinth underground by a female officer who was jealous of her, just like in the original story, but as soon as she lost her way, the blond chick hurried I used the radio to contact the passers-by for help, and was rescued by Doraemon with magical props after a while, so I missed the opportunity to meet a certain Minotaur again.

In the end, although the bullfight in Knossos was going on as usual, under the full support of the traverser, Kyrol did not encounter any disaster, and was pushed into the air by the crazy bullfight, and the visiting Amazon queen also Lost the performance opportunity of "Beauty Saves the Beauty"... The whole bullfighting performance went through calmly and calmly, which made Carol excited for a long time, and even took hundreds of photos as souvenirs.

After such a series of twists and turns, the plot of the Minoan Kingdom in "Daughter of the Nile" has been turned upside down by the travelers without knowing it.And the total points displayed on Wang Qiu's "Book of Time Traveling" easily rose to as much as [-] points.

Unfortunately, they haven't found the lost traveler Mr. Zhang Daniu so far, so they can only pin their hopes on Egypt.

What's even more regrettable is that even though they have dug three feet into the ground, the amount of money they have raised in this world is still far from enough to pay off Doraemon's huge debt of 180 billion yen... After finishing the lorikeet in the royal garden, and thinking about what pawn to take next, a charming female voice suddenly sounded in my ears:

"...Honorable sir, another batch of seafood has just arrived in the palace, and the queen mother ordered it to be delivered to you. Do you need to count it?"
