Great time travel

Chapter 51. Arnus City in the Eyes of Indigenous Peoples
At the same time, also outside the city walls of Arnus, in another place far away from the purification camps, in a brick-red three-story bungalow surrounded by green trees, flowers and plants, as the sun shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows, Projected into the bedroom, Princess Pingna slowly woke up from her sweet sleep.

"...Mmm... The sun is so dazzling... Should I get up..."

Accompanied by a series of soft murmurs, two smooth and round slender arms stretched out from the thick embroidered brocade duvet, and the next thing that appeared was Princess Pinna's dazzling red hair and sleepy eyes.Seeing this, a personal court lady who had already got up early and was on standby, hurriedly brought a fine linen petticoat, and put it on for Princess Pingna who got out of bed in a daze.And another female soldier of the Rose Knights, who was a temporary guest maid, took the opportunity to tidy up the quilt on the bed.Another maid who served the princess personally opened the window to let the fresh morning breeze blow away the stale air in the room.

At the same time, Princess Pingna slowly put on a women's riding outfit under the service of the maid, and was pushed into the small bathroom by the maid to go to the toilet and wash, and finally took a golden dress from the maid. The remote control, very skillfully pressed the only button in the center of the remote control.

The next moment, an LCD screen mounted on the bedroom wall instantly lit up, and a smiling face of a waiter in a suit appeared on the LCD screen, and he greeted Princess Pingna politely: "...Good morning, Your Royal Highness, Excuse me, do you want the meal delivery service in the morning?"

Although this is not the first time she has seen such a scene, Princess Pingna still can't help but want to sigh—compared with such wonderful props from outsiders, those can only show a short distance on the crystal ball at best. The magician with blurred images feels really weak.

Of course, the reservedness of being a member of the royal family made her just nod flatly, "... Well, let's have the same breakfast as yesterday."

"...Understood, lemon black tea, creme brulee, paella and cream cake. Anything else to add?"

"...Well, bring three more omelettes and a pot of hot milk to my maids, and then, a big bucket of fried chicken nuggets!" Princess Pingna looked at the delicate menu on the coffee table again, " ...is just right for a snack after a meal."

"...OK, three more egg pancakes, a pot of hot milk and a big bucket of fried chicken nuggets will be brought to you soon. I wish you a happy morning."

Seeing that the LCD screen turned black again, Princess Pingna, who had deliberately pretended to be aloof, let out a long breath, and collapsed on the small sofa by the window without any image. , stretched comfortably, enjoying the warmth of the sun shining on his face.

——From Princess Pina’s point of view, since she came to Mount Arnus with people from another world, every day has been very fresh and interesting.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Before setting off from Ita Rica, according to the imagination of Princess Pinna and the attendants, they originally thought they would see a continuous stretch of camps and military tents on Mount Arnus, but in the end they saw an unbearable It is a huge city than Urrabianca City, the imperial capital.And the height of the city wall is more than twice that of the city wall of the imperial capital.The most incredible thing is that this city was actually built by outsiders in less than a month!
Such an exaggerated "Chinese speed" (actually Doraemon's speed) made Her Royal Highness stunned for a moment, and then she became curious.It's a pity, it's a pity that the outsiders didn't allow them to enter the towering city wall to find out, let alone take them through the "gate" on the hill of Arnus to visit them The motherland located in another world.Instead, they arranged Princess Pingna and her party of more than [-] people in a manor villa outside the city wall, saying that this was their new "foreign hotel".

In general, Princess Pingna feels that her recent life in this hotel is quite good. Although the hotel does not arrange maids for her personal service, she can only rely on the maids she brought to continue to serve, but at least there are maids every day. The servants came to clean the room and make the bed for her, and the service attitude was very polite.Then, even in this small hotel, Princess Pinna saw many novelty things that she had never heard of before.

——Compared with the palace where Her Royal Highness Princess Pinna once lived in the imperial capital of Ula Bianca, or even the lord's mansion in Ita Rica, this hotel arranged by the outsiders is quite small, with only A small rectangular three-story building, and a small yard surrounded by a circle of carved iron railings painted black.However, despite being small, the interior decoration of the house is astonishingly exquisite and gorgeous: in the lobby at the entrance of the hotel, there are thick colorful carpets and a screen made of marble reliefs. Although the ceiling is not too high, But there are crystal and bright small glass chandeliers hanging, and the oak floor on the aisle floor has been polished until it is as smooth as porcelain.Every room has large bright glass windows, which is also very rare in the palace, and some of the glass windows are even decorated with stained glass mosaics.The walls of each aisle are covered with wallpapers of different patterns, and are covered with countless colorful pictures. The themes are basically mountains, rivers, flowers, birds and animals.Even the glass lamps used for lighting have at least 20 different styles, each of which is gorgeous and bright like a handicraft.

Given the small size of this hotel, it is actually a bit crowded to accommodate more than 30 people including Princess Pingna and her party at one go. Some court ladies and female soldiers are already ready to sleep on the floor or in the stables.However, the hotel temporarily changed the furniture for this reason, and replaced the beds in the common room with double-layer iron frame beds, so they could sleep again, and even vacated a room for the female knights. Stack luggage.

And the only luxury suite provided for Princess Pingna is extremely gorgeous.Each wall is decorated with brightly colored landscape paintings (wall stickers) that almost completely cover the entire wall.The ceiling is decorated with gold and silver patterns, and the furniture is also quite elegant.Such resplendent, flashy and gorgeous residences, where every corner is covered with decorations, are not absent in the imperial palaces of the empire, but there are only a few places in total, such as the queen's bedroom and the like.As the daughter of a side concubine, Princess Ping Na's bedroom is not so luxurious.

Moreover, even in the queen's bedroom, there is no "magic lamp" that emits light without needing to be ignited, as well as the "magic mirror" on the wall that can reveal a figure and have a conversation just by pressing the switch. .As for the huge and bright glass mirror in the bathroom, the exquisite faucet that can spray hot and cold water at any time, and the tiles that cover the entire space with beautiful patterns and pictures, it has already made several court ladies who claim to have seen a big scene feel astonished. Speechless——Different from Europe in the Middle Ages, the Farmat continent in the fantasy world has already mastered the technology of firing porcelain, and it has initially been popularized in the families of the rich and noble.But even so, it is still an unimaginable luxury to tile the walls and floors, even in the bathrooms of noble mansions, usually nothing more than mosaics and colored terracotta tiles.

Of course, for Princess Pingna, who is not very keen on luxury and richness, and "doesn't like red clothes but arms", she is more interested in the soft but elastic Simmons mattress - because this kind of bed is really too soft , I always feel as if I'm about to sink in. In the first few days, Her Royal Highness couldn't sleep at all, so much so that she had to switch beds with the maid who slept on a hard cot... But now she has completely adapted.Even because the feeling of sleeping on the soft bed is so comfortable that every morning is lazy, and it takes great perseverance to get up...

Alas, it is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal!In recent days, I'm used to sleeping on the soft sponge-like bed here, what if I don't get used to it when I go back?Why don't you pack a few of these "Simmons" mattresses with you when you're ready to leave?
Well, I almost forgot, it seems that I have to pack the chef here and take it home...

——In addition to the comfortable living environment, the rich and novel diet is also one of the things that makes Princess Pingna feel good about this place.

On the first day of her arrival at the state hotel, Princess Pingna found a beautifully framed menu in her room, and learned that the hotel could provide her with the service of delivering meals to her room.Then, in this menu, in addition to the names of the dishes, there are also realistic pictures. Even if you cannot fully understand the meaning of these dishes from outsiders due to cultural barriers, you can roughly know yourself from the pictures. What is the order.

Therefore, it became one of the greatest pleasures for Princess Pingna and her personal maids to taste the various exotic delicacies listed on this menu one by one according to the order and preference every day.Among them, there are some exotic meals with too special tastes, which make them find it difficult to swallow, but more delicious foods make them addicted, their appetites are whetted, and it feels like opening a door to a new world. door.

Up to now, they have basically tasted all the dishes on the menu, and have confirmed which of them suit their own tastes. By the way, they have also thickened the fat layer on their bodies—among them, the princess likes to use The delicious risotto cooked with seafood, vegetables and rice was beyond her imagination. After taking the first bite, she felt like her tongue was about to melt.She was completely intoxicated by the delicious taste and the richness of spices.Pair it with a cup of "black tea" with lemon slices and sugar cubes, which is bitter and sweet. It is really a wonderful enjoyment.

In addition, the waiter in the hotel would bring all kinds of fresh fruits or candied fruit every day, most of which were exotic specialties that she had never seen before.

However, the place where the meal delivery service is provided is only the luxury suite where the princess stays.As for the female knights and attendants who sleep on canopy beds, they can only go to the lobby to eat together, and there are fewer types of dishes to choose from.So sometimes, Princess Pingna would invite her subordinates to her room to have dinner together—unfortunately, it seemed that she was worried that the guests would get drunk and make trouble.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

A moment later, with the ding-dong of the doorbell, a small dining car was pushed into the suite by the waiter.And Princess Pingna's personal maid immediately went up to pick up the dining car, brought the meals to the dining table one by one, and arranged the knives and forks in order.Another court lady turned on a knob fixed on the cabinet, and a piece of cheerful and relaxing music sounded: every meal has musical accompaniment, which is a unique enjoyment in this place.

After enjoying this rather sumptuous breakfast, the personal maid continued to use the "magic mirror" to summon the waiter to pack the tableware, clean the room, and change the sheets and bedding.Princess Ping Na, who had nothing to do, walked out of the suite slowly, walked leisurely to the yard downstairs, and sat down on a stone bench.Although her life in this hotel is very good, it is also very boring, basically eating, sleeping and sleeping - in the first few days, officials from other worlds came to greet her, eat and drink, or invite her Eat together and chat.After that, no one came to talk to me anymore.And Princess Pingna also knows that she is currently a hostage and is under house arrest, so she cannot go out at will... Apart from practicing swordsmanship and physical exercise with her subordinates occasionally, the only pastime left is to sit nearby In the courtyard on the cliff, overlooking the various living beings below.

——The hotel where Princess Pingna lives is located on a platform halfway up the mountain, next to a cliff, and below it happens to be the campsite for the flood victims in Gota Village and several nearby villages.Today, however, the barbed wire surrounding the camp has been removed, and it is largely a small village.In recent days, there are still some businessmen driving horse-drawn carts, riding donkeys and chocobos from afar after hearing the news, wanting to do business with people from other worlds.And Mayor Wang Meiling also ordered to set up a bazaar in this village to sell various industrial products of the modern earth to traders from other worlds, and to evaluate and purchase the local products of the Farmat continent... Although the first batch came Most of them are small merchants and hawkers with little capital, and the transaction volume is pitifully small, but people come and go, bustling, and they seem to be quite prosperous and lively.

Among the various modern commodities that the Chinese trade, the most popular is still the traditional export commodity with a history of thousands of years, the printed silk that looks bright and gorgeous like haze.This kind of soft, delicate and colorful clothing caused a sensation as soon as it was brought out, and became the most popular trading item of all traders. The birth of is almost the same reason.Even the female knights of the Rose Knights in the hotel were stunned when they accidentally saw the gorgeous silk sold in the market at the foot of the mountain. Individuals have purchased many.

In addition to silk, sales of matches, steel needles, refined salt and granulated sugar were also quite hot, and a batch of those brightly colored modern cheap jewelry and small handicrafts were also sold.It's a pity that tea, another traditional export product in China's history, is almost uninterested here: after all, it is not so easy to open up a new beverage market.China's national quintessence porcelain was also coldly received in the market: because the craft of firing porcelain and even colored porcelain has already existed on the Farmat continent. Although it is not as exquisite as modern porcelain, it has been solved anyway. The question of having and not having.Moreover, if the porcelain is transported for a long distance, there is still a great risk that it will be broken on the way, which is far less reliable than silk... Therefore, when there is a better option of silk, the aboriginal traders are not interested in porcelain There is a shortage, and it is rare to sell one or two pieces throughout the day.

Such an unexpected situation disappointed some high-level leaders of relevant departments, especially the Hong Kong local government behind the "gate". Back then, the white colonists in the West bullied the Native American Indians, just throwing away some rags in the past can be exchanged for real money.So I searched the waste recycling station for a while, and got a lot of glass and colored porcelain wine bottles, and I am gearing up to transport them there to make a fortune!Unexpectedly, the opposite side prefers silk, these bulky and fragile things can't be sold at all!

At the same time, using the alien coins obtained from the native traders, the Chinese also bought many products unique to the Farmat continent, such as the pink pig with wings and flying, which can be used for riding and riding. Chocobos pulling carts, potted plants, seeds of medicinal herbs and fruits and vegetables, special minerals that are said to be able to make magic props... But while trading frequently, they are also overwhelmed by the extremely chaotic currency system and weights and measures in this place.

However, for Princess Pingna who stayed on the sidelines and watched coldly, her only feeling about this was that it was far better to have peaceful and friendly business exchanges with these outsiders than to go to war rashly.Although she was here, not to mention the foreign country behind the "gate", she didn't even know what was behind that huge city wall.As for the appearance and power of the foreign country, she could only get a glimpse of it, but even so, the things she saw in front of her eyes were enough to let her know that she must deal with this matter with caution.

Alas, I hope that the emperor and the senate will not make any irrational and wrong decisions after receiving their letters.What's more, today's empire is really suffering from external and internal troubles, and can no longer stand any toss.Speaking of which, it has been such a long time since leaving the city of Ita Rica, and I don't know what the situation of the civil war on the other side of the mountain range is like?Have Big Brother Soshal's rebels been defeated?She was thinking wildly like this, and at the same time, she cast her eyes on the towering city wall in the distance again—she really wanted to see with her own eyes, what more wonderful things were hidden behind this city wall of the aliens!I hope to have such an opportunity after the special negotiating envoy of the Senate comes over!

At this moment, on a road below, there were a few sharp whistles, and then, a beautifully decorated soft sedan chair was carried on the shoulders by two maids with rabbit ears, and walked out of the distance. A forest, slowly walking towards the village market under the cliff.Around and around the sedan chair, there are female headhunters in bright armor acting as bodyguards, and a group of alien soldiers in camouflage uniforms clearing the way and escorting them... Such a rare grand occasion here made Ping Na The princess couldn't help poking her head out, and looked in that direction a few more times.

Then, in the next moment, she quickly recognized the familiar silver-haired and stern figure on the sedan chair, and quickly recalled the anger of the entire empire at the defeat of the great prince Saushar in the headhunting grassland, and the fact that she was forced to personally escort him. The shame of signing a peace agreement with the other party for ransom and compensation.

"...This... This is really a hell! The woman on the sedan chair turned out to be... the headhunting queen Tiyule?! How is this possible?! Isn't she supposed to be on the grassland in the northeast of the mainland? What is a headhunting rabbit? When did you hook up with someone from another world?"

Seeing the scene where the headhunting queen was swaggering through the market on a sedan chair, Princess Pingna couldn't help but become confused for a moment.
