Liu Pei couldn't help but turn his head to look at the little prince beside him. When he saw the confused look on the handsome young man's face, he knew that he also knew nothing.
"It's indeed difficult. Nolan and I took our men to the vicinity of the Angus Bottom Mountains before we managed to catch a few prey."
Liu Pei took off his leather gloves and handed them to his female guard, then smiled and said to Chris, just pretend you didn't see anything just now.
"No way, it's winter after all."
Chris had returned to her usual graceful and delicate demeanor, a slight smile on her lips.
"It just so happens that the chef in my castle has learned several barbecue methods from those strangers. Let's try them together tonight."
"Okay, but there must be wine."
Liu Pei smiled nonchalantly, looking forward to tonight's banquet.
Chris had told her long ago that today was the last day of the year in the Aler Kingdom calendar.
The entire Wade City will be holding activities, and Chris even deliberately left suspense, telling Liu Pei, Nolan and others that there will be a surprise tonight.
"Little Chris, what exactly is this surprise you're talking about?"
As they walked into the castle, Liu Pei couldn't hold back his curiosity that had been building up for several days, and asked.
Nolan, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but look at his sister with the same blue eyes.
"Well," Chris winked at the two of them playfully, "we'll find out tonight."
Looking at the delicate little face in front of him that was pretending to be mysterious and making playful little movements, Liu Pei felt the urge to reach out and pinch it, kneading it hard and bullying it.
It also saves this guy from having to keep her curious.
"Hehe, aren't you afraid that I won't be able to help but beat you up?"
In response, Chris just smiled softly and looked at Liu Pei with her big crystal eyes.
I'm such a cute and fragile girl, Sister Liu Pei, can you bear to do that to me?
"Tsk."
Liu Pei smacked his lips and turned his head away, not looking into Chris's eyes.
"By the way, Sister Liu Pei, Nolan, you are going back tomorrow, right?"
"Yes."
Liu Pei and Nolan both nodded.
They had actually been staying in Wade City for quite a while.
Although Liu Hong or Ater, who came with them, had already returned with the signed and effective alliance treaty, each territory also had its own ministers to preside over government affairs.
But they are leaders after all, and it is not good for them to leave their territory for too long.
In particular, they have their own intelligence organizations and can receive some intelligence from various regions on the mainland at all times.
"My two brothers are truly heroes."
Liu Pei's lips curled into a sarcastic smile. "I never imagined that my father's old injuries from years of war would flare up. My two brothers have been out of control for only half a year and they've already dared to attack near the capital."
Chris also saw the information about Liu Pei's two brothers because the alliance stipulated that the three parties would share information to a certain extent.
"That's good too. I've prepared some gifts for you. You can take them back and use them when the time comes."
Chris smiled and turned to look at her brother and said, "Of course, Nolan, you will have the same gift prepared."
"What gift is it?"
"Well, we'll know tomorrow."
Looking at Chris's smiling face, she looked as charming as a little fox with a hint of cunning.
Nolan and Liu Pei looked at each other and saw the urge to beat Chris up on each other's faces.
"Ahem, we're in the hall now. Nolan, Sister Liu Pei, go change your clothes first."
Chris, who sensed danger with her sixth sense, immediately smiled at the two of them, then quickly ran towards Yuni, who was leading people to set up the banquet venue in the hall on the first floor of the castle.
"Your sister is such a shrew I just want to catch and give her a good beating."
After taking a look at Christie's back as she ran away with her little feet wrapped in white silk, Liu Pei turned his head and said to Nolan with gritted teeth.
Just by seeing the face of the little prince, which looked almost 90% similar to the little prince's as long as he put on a wig and a skirt, she couldn't help but twist her wrist.
"Ahem, my sister wasn't like this before."
Nolan lowered his head and covered his mouth to explain, but he silently moved away from Liu Pei.
"She used to be really elegant, ladylike, and gentle."
Nolan thought about what his sister used to be like, but quickly shook his head.
"However, I prefer my sister's personality now."
A warm smile appeared on the corner of the little prince's mouth, and he quietly looked at Chris who ran to Yuni and waved at him and Liu Pei with a smile.
When she was in the royal capital, the reason why her sister was so elegant and ladylike, and even tried hard to smile in the face of other people's sarcasm, was simply because their mother's family was not strong in the kingdom.
Later, due to a riot, his strength was greatly damaged and he almost lost his title.
In the royal capital, among the aristocratic circles that appear to be gentlemen and ladies, they are actually more snobbish than anywhere else, and they care more about who has the bigger fist.
So, although Nolan still kept a smile on his face, he raised his hand and waved at Chris in response.
But I made up my mind.
No matter how Wade City develops on his sister's side, he must develop it better after returning and protect his sister.
Night began to fall on the Snow Crystal Plain.
As night fell, bonfires and street lights were lit on every street, park, and square in Weide City.
The entire city radiated a yellow glow, reflected on the white snow, making the city of Weide seem hazy, as if it had turned into a city in a fairy tale.
As the lights came on, the atmosphere in the city gradually became hotter.
On this night of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, no one, whether players or strangers, will work.
Only chefs from the castle and restaurants across the city, as well as some foreigners who were good at cooking, were assigned to each square and street.
They were in high spirits, chatting happily with the people around them while quickly preparing various foods.
As each portion of food is prepared, it will be placed on the stall for passers-by who like to enjoy the food to take away.
Tonight, all food and drinks are free and will be paid for by the City Lord's Mansion.
This is to reward the players and citizens of Vader City for their hard work over the past six months, and also to help refugees who have fled to Vader City due to the recent war and unrest integrate into Vader City more quickly.
Because here, tonight, as the bard players picked up their instruments and sang, the whole city was immersed in a sea of joy.
When they saw food they liked, they reached out to take it, picked up the drinks prepared by the stalls, and enjoyed the food and wine to the music.
They looked at the people around them with laughter, walked to the center of the street, and danced to the bard's singing, doing their own improvised dances. When they felt excited, they would join in with a smile.
The banquet in the castle did not last long, in order to show that they were having fun with the people.
After entertaining the minor nobles of Wade City, Chris brought Isa, Liu Pei and others to the municipal square, greeted every player and citizen with a smile, and participated in the celebration.
Until late at night, an astrologer recruited by the academy during this period stood in the center of the square.
He waved his staff and, with the cooperation of his companions, used the city-level magic circle of Vader City to display a countdown above Vader City.
At this time, Chris had already brought Yuni, Isa, Liu Pei and Nolan to the castle tower.
As the numbers made of magic in the night sky continued to get smaller, people in every square, street and corner of the city followed the people around them and shouted as the numbers jumped.
"10!"
"9!"
"8!"
"0!"
"Happy New Year!"
Chris turned around, bowed and wished a happy new year, then stood up straight with a bright smile.
At the moment when Her Royal Highness the Princess stood up straight, a light suddenly shot into the sky from a corner of Vader City.
"Oh!"
A loud explosion sounded in the air, and everyone couldn't help but look up, and saw a gorgeous firework rising into the night sky and blooming.
And this was like a signal. The next second, fireworks rose into the night sky in every corner and street of Wade City.
Amidst the thrilling explosions, the entire night sky of Vader City seemed to be lit up by fireworks.
Looking up, the fireworks are like blooming umbrellas, as dazzling as lanterns, and like blooming flowers.
They are beautiful and brilliant but so short-lived. In the blink of an eye, the sparks disappear from the night sky like shooting stars.
The next second, with a whistling sound, fireworks exploded and bloomed one after another in the night sky.
The entire city of Weide was suddenly dyed with colorful light, like a fairyland in a fairy tale.
Everyone stopped cheering quietly, huddled together with their relatives and friends, and looked up to admire the New Year gifts prepared by their Royal Highness the Princess for them.
Chapter 137-19 The Emergence of the Firearm
The first day of the new year.
The clear sky is so blue, and the warm sun jumps out from the eastern horizon, spreading its warm sunlight to the earth.
It was as if the carnival atmosphere of yesterday still lingered throughout the city. Every citizen who walked out of their home greeted passers-by with a bright smile and wished each other a happy new year.
On this day that represents a new beginning for the new year, Chris got up early instead of staying in bed.
Because today is the day when her younger brother Nolan and the third princess of Celis, Liu Pei, leave Wade City.
They had been in Wade City for a while and had to go back.
Chris put her small feet wrapped in white stockings into leather boots and stomped her feet. Then she pulled Isa and came to the castle hall accompanied by Yuni.
Liu Pei looked even more heroic today. He wore a tight-fitting, narrow-sleeved suit inside and the red cloak he had seen yesterday outside.
She was wearing a tight outfit that was convenient for movement and she walked quickly to Chris in her boots and put her arm around Chris's slender shoulders.
"Little Chris, I'm leaving soon. Where are the gifts you're going to give to little Nolan and me? Don't even think about last night's fireworks display."
Yuni Lengli showed a dissatisfied expression on her face and glanced at the Third Princess from Celis.
She is obviously a royal princess, but she has no image and behaves so rudely.
"I'll take you there right now."
Chris smiled and twisted her body to avoid Liu Pei's arm.
Soon, Chris, Nolan, Liu Pei and others were standing in the military camp north of the inner city.
As some residents of the inner city moved to other districts to run businesses such as hostels in order to make more money, Chris also carried out a wave of demolitions, causing the area of the military camp to continue to expand.
Now, Chris is standing on a testing ground with Liu Pei and Nolan.
Behind him were Doris, Zhao Feng, Caris and others, while Rodlan was standing not far away with a few guard knights, ready.
"what is that?"
Liu Pei noticed the iron rod-like thing in Rodlan's hand at first sight. He watched Rodlan and several guard knights tinkering with it for a while, and then asked.
"A musket."
Chris said, "This is also a gift for you and my brother. It's already loaded on the truck you're taking home. I'm just showing it to you this time."
"Oh?"
Liu Pei, Nolan and the people behind them all perked up after hearing what Chris said, and carefully observed the preparations of Rodlan and the guard knights.
They poured a bag of black powder into the barrel, stuffed in a lead bullet, and then poked it directly to the bottom with a thin iron bar. After compacting it, they took out a bag of gunpowder and poured it into the gunpowder pool behind the barrel.
After completing this set of preparations, Rodlan asked the guard knights to get ready, and he came to Chris and the others.
"Your Highness, we are ready."
"Then let's get started."
Chris immediately waved her hand, signaling the start of the demonstration experiment.
The target has been set up by the guard knight in the test field. The target is covered with a set of standard Vader City Guard equipment, which is what players call the level 30 blue equipment.
