In the restaurant of this small and simple wooden house, the Swali girl Ingrid held her cheek with one hand and stared dumbfounded at the man beside her who was feasting.
At this moment, the table in front of Fisher was already piled with countless porcelain plates, and this was the result of the pig chef taking some of the plates away in advance.
Fisher took his time and used the tableware provided by the store to elegantly divide the food into suitable sizes for eating, but this process did not slow down his eating speed at all. In Ingrid's view, even those on animals
The hardest bone was as thin as a piece of paper under the knife and fork in his hand.
And this familiar movement made Ingrid more and more certain that the man in front of her was not a native human from the Southern Continent, but a gentleman from the Western Continent.
Gentlemen are gentlemen, even so, Ingrid couldn't help but look a little stiff when she saw this. After a moment of pause, she asked,
"How long has it been since you had a meal?"
Fisher glanced at her, and there was nothing to be embarrassed about. Since the girl wanted something from him in the future, even if he didn't respond to her request, he would be able to give her magic that was far higher than the value of the meal.
It's better to have a quick meal first.
He slowly put down the knife and fork and touched his lower abdomen, which had become completely flat. Judging from the clothes with a big hole in them, his waist had completely recovered to its original shape, but Renee's strength had also completely disappeared.
Already.
Renee, where have you been?
Originally, there was a Hart bird in the wallet that was in contact with Renee, but when they reunited with him, the Hart bird had already flown out. At that time, Fisher and Renee were immersed in the joy of reunion, so they forgot about it.
Then let her put a Hart bird in it. Without the postcard contacting Renee, Fisher's opinion of the wallet became irrelevant, and it was lost in the sanctuary.
On his face, he took a napkin and wiped his lips. He did not answer the previous question of the girl next to him, but instead said,
"Go out and talk?"
Ingrid pursed her lips, took out several Narios with a face value of one hundred from her arms and threw them on the table. Then she stood up and walked out of the small restaurant first, and used the technique on the pig man.
Long Tingyu said,
"Keep the change, please."
"Hey, walk slowly, you two."
Fisher glanced at the pig man who put Nario behind the counter with gleaming eyes as if he had seen a treasure. After a moment of pause, he stood up and followed the steps of the previous girl and walked out of the restaurant.
It was noon in the Southern Continent at this moment, the sun was shining brightly in the sky, and the wind in the wilderness blew slowly, blowing up the long black hair on Fisher's head.
On the street, no other Asians came to watch because Fisher had just glanced at him before. At this moment, it seemed that he and the girl were the only ones in this already not too lively town.
When they came out, Ingrid was standing in the middle of the road at the door, raising her head and looking into the distance. Fisher looked in the direction she was looking and found that she was looking at the rising smoke in the distance.
That place seemed to be a factory.
Hearing the sound of Fisher going out, Ingrid, who was about to raise the camera on her chest to take a picture, turned her head and said to Fisher through gritted teeth,
"Uncle, where did you come from to starve to death? You ate so much of me. One meal was enough for me for a week."
Uncle?
Although the girl in front of me does look very young, probably no more than twenty years old, and although she is indeed in her early thirties, she should not be called that in any case.
Asuka Karasawa didn't even call me that when she was younger than you.
Fisher thought so unconsciously.
But after touching the long hair on his head and the beard that hadn't been trimmed for a long time, he didn't deny the other person's title and just said,
"Okay, half full."
"hehe."
"Just in time, I have something to ask you."
"Wait, shouldn't I ask you first? I just invited you to dinner."
"Please tell me."
Ingrid glanced at the quiet surroundings, then hooked her hand at Fisher, walked forward and asked,
"How long have you been here, uncle."
"just arrived."
"Just arrived? What do you mean, did you just arrive in the past few days?"
"almost."
Ingrid touched the beret on her head with a headache, curled her lips and said,
"I hope you can tell me something about the factory in front of you. You can't take pictures of anything in Longting City. I've asked all the residents here, and they all are silent about the factory. I think you are
A person from the Western Continent thought that "
This town is not big at all, and the girl in front of her walks very fast, and the time spent chatting is almost gone.
At the end of the sentence, Ingrid covered her head with a headache and squatted on the ground. She seemed very unwilling to look at the smoking factory in the distance, but she didn't care that Fisher ate her.
, cost her a lot of money.
This girl's family background should be very good.
Uncle Fisher glanced at the smoking factory in the distance and was surrounded by a tall city wall, and couldn't help but ask,
"What does the factory produce?"
"I don't know, I just know that this is the land [leased] to Na Li by Xin Longting. The legal authority here belongs directly to the Golden Palace and the Development Company. They have built many factories here, and Nali next to Longting City in Longting City.
The properties of the Lebanese Consulate are similar.”
Fisher narrowed his eyes, feeling more and more something was wrong, and thinking of the new Nario she took out just now, he couldn't help but ask,
"Ingrid, what year is it?"
"Uncle, which country's calendar do you use?"
"Na Li."
Ingrid raised her head to look at him and couldn't help but murmured,
"You are from Nali, why do you look like an antique? You just started this year. Let me think about it, it is exactly the fifth year of Queen Elizabeth."
Fisher's eyes couldn't help but move slightly, and then he turned his head to look at Ingrid in disbelief. Even Emhardt in his arms poked his head out in shock and also looked at Ingrid.
Geli.
You know, when Fisher just left this era, Elizabeth had only been on the throne for about half a year, and now when he comes back, she has been on the throne for five years, which is equivalent to four and a half years since he left?!
"How can this be"
"Uncle! What is that thing in your arms? It's so ugly."
Ingrid looked at the very surprised Fisher in front of her and was about to say something, but was immediately frightened by Emhardt in his arms.
At first she thought it was something like an elf in Fisher's arms, but when she took a closer look, she discovered that it was a book with eyes and a mouth!
"Your mother, tell me again, do you believe the Great Book Sir?"
Ingrid opened her mouth, quickly raised the camera hanging around her neck, and clicked the shutter on the book that poked her head out and cursed.
"Crack!"
In an instant, Emhart's eyes were filled with white light. He was so frightened that he quickly retracted into Fisher's arms and shouted in a drake voice,
"Ah! It's witchcraft! Fisher! My eyes! This girl knows witchcraft!"
"Emhard, we went astray when we came back, we shouldn't have"
Fisher patted Emhardt's body and said with a headache.
But Emhardt squinted his eyes that were so blinded that he couldn't see clearly, and came out, interrupted his speech, and said firmly,
"It must be Baimeng's fault! That guy did a lot of harm to people!"
"No, it's probably my fault"
Fisher took a look at his completely healed waist and actually had some guesses in his mind.
It must be said that it was a mistake for him to release the power that Renee left for him in the Tree Continent. The power was taken out and then sealed back into his body, which may have caused the direction and intensity of its effect on the thread of fate, so that's why
Unable to return to exactly where I should be.
This analysis makes sense, because the power was completely out of control at that time. Although it finally calmed down again for unknown reasons, it was definitely not as good as before, otherwise the place where it is stored would not have been transferred from the chest to the waist.
But Emhart only felt that Fisher had been brainwashed by that bad woman Baimon.
Fisher turned his head to look at Ingrid, who looked in disbelief in front of him, and then asked,
"Tell me about what happened six months after Elizabeth ascended the throne to everything up to now."
"Hey, uncle, it's what I bought you to eat, now you"
"Tell me, and in return, I will take you to the factory."
Ingrid's eyes hidden behind her sunglasses lit up slightly, and then she stood up, coughed slightly, and said to Fisher,
"Deal! Oh, that's not right. Didn't you just come to the Southern Continent these days? You don't know anything about the Western Continent. So where were you before? The North? Drifting on the sea?"
"Into the title."
Ingrid glanced at Emhardt, who was also curious in Fisher's arms, and then continued,
"Well, in fact, your queen has nothing to say. Now she is one of the best in the Western Continent, and even in the entire world. Nali is so good under her leadership. I can't describe it, but to be honest,
There is a big difference from before, even from the perspective of a Swali person like me, I am extremely envious."
She clasped her fingers and recounted everything that had happened in the past.
Ingrid knew a lot about domestic affairs in Nali, but she only knew a vague general idea.
Ingrid only knew that Elizabeth's reform of the economic system had become a model for learning in the Western Continent and the Northern Territory. She seemed to have appointed many emerging officials, adopted an examination selection and assessment system, and transformed the Golden Palace Years that were originally passed down by surnames.
The name was changed to the passing of name, which completely separated the image of each emperor from the shadow of the Gedelin family.
Therefore, Elizabeth Gedlin's official name can now be [Queen Elizabeth] or [Elizabeth I], but more people still like to call her [Sun Queen] and [Golden Queen].
After reforming the system, Na Li burst out with amazing vitality in a short period of time. Various emerging scientific and technological and magical achievements are common. However, after all, a lot of information and data have not been made public, and the specific situation Ingrid has not yet revealed.
Don't know.
She could only get a glimpse of the current appearance of the empire rising like the sun from the more and more Nali factories being built, the increasingly wealthy Nali people and businessmen, and the increasingly tough diplomatic and military strength.
After stabilizing her own backyard, Elizabeth's ambitions for external expansion soon became apparent.
Elizabeth has become more proactive in economic and military strategies towards Narli, her ancient neighbor with entangled love and hate. In the past four and a half years, although there has been no open war, anyone with a discerning eye can see it.
It can be concluded that Queen Swali was losing ground in the game with Elizabeth.
For the disputed territory between the two countries that had been unclear for hundreds of years, Elizabeth only took back one piece, but that piece was the longest disputed territory between Nali and Shivali.
The Nali army was stationed here, but Shivali could only watch from a distance within the national border.
Together with this, Elizabeth made all the churches and magic associations that were originally nominally affiliated with Kadu independent, and established institutions completely under the independent control of Nari. Originally, Elizabeth personally asked Hailsson to be the first president, but the other party used
He declined due to old age, and not long after, the legendary magic master announced his retirement and retired completely.
All in all, the current Western Continent has completely become a territory dominated by Nali.
Although of course there are problems, there is a certain degree of dissatisfaction with Elizabeth, the Queen, both at home and abroad. But this dissatisfaction mainly stems from her near-absolute power, not what she did or what she did.
Results.
Those who hated her cursed her and despised her as a "dictator" and "tyrant"; those who loved her praised her and praised her as a "sage" and "the sun".
The constitutional monarchy that had been building up for a long time and was about to take shape had been completely distorted by Elizabeth's power on the day her mediocre brother died. Maybe in the future someone will summarize and reflect on the system and phenomenon that Nari exists in name only, but obviously, Elizabeth is completely
Don't care about these
All she wants is today and now, Na Li like the rising sun.
Fisher listened expressionlessly. In the four and a half years he missed, the Western Continent had changed too much. But just as she said to her when she left, when she bloodyly took over power from her brother,
, she will do better than Dexter.
Fisher didn't know whether Elizabeth was satisfied with the current situation, but from the shocking and sighing tone in Ingrid's mouth, many people in the Western Continent were shocked.
"Uncle, uncle"
Fisher was stunned for a moment, but Ingrid's call in front pulled him out of his thoughts. The other party raised his eyebrows helplessly and asked him,
"Are you still listening?"
"Yeah, I'm listening."
"How about it, can you regain the feeling of returning to your hometown after being away for a long time?"
"A little"
"Oh, it's really strange. Every time the Nali people in Longting City talk about their queen and domestic affairs, their faces look proud. You actually don't see any expression at all. Hey, uncle,
Could it be that you are some kind of fugitive who was deported by Na Li and then smuggled to the Southern Continent?"
Don't say it, don't say it. In a sense, what Ingrid said is right.
Fisher shook his head in confusion, and then asked,
"What about Longting? Who is the leader here? What happened to Longting City you mentioned earlier?"
After hearing this, Ingrid's expression was slightly startled, and then she curled her lips and said,
"Who else could it be, the Green Dragon King [Iselle]?"
Fisher frowned and couldn't help but ask,
"Well, have you ever heard of a man named Rafael?"
Until now, Fisher has been a little concerned about his sudden departure for so long. For this era when myths are dying and immortality species are rare, four and a half years is not a short time. Many worldly things will change, although
It might not be a problem for a whale race like Jasmine who could sleep for decades, but it was not the case for Rafael who was fighting in the southern continent and Valentina who was sleeping in the north.
Especially, when Fisher heard that the current leader of New Longting turned out to be a name he had never heard of before, he became even more worried about Rafael's current situation.
Unexpectedly, Ingrid, who had been looking relaxed before, suddenly changed her expression after hearing "that name" in Fisher's words. She didn't know what she was thinking of, as if that name came from a very scary person.
Things are the same.
"What, does this name mean something?"
"Of course, I have heard of this name before coming to the Southern Continent. Although I have never seen her in person, it is said that she is an extremely violent and bloody dragon race, famous for its blood-red scales. She is
The leader of a violent resistance organization, who is opposed to the existing Long Ting, seems to call himself Long Ting, but who knows who is the orthodox one?"
"And the reason why that dragon-woman is famous is because she cruelly killed many, many humans."
