The destination of the airship was set to be Lydia Bay, which was also a place that Aranza was familiar with. According to the information collected by Kim Gates overnight, the patriarch of the Tulip family, Cora Tulip, was on vacation here.
Yes, on vacation, only this person can maintain such elegance even when the storm is turbulent.
Flying at full speed, Aranza's airship arrived over the Gulf of Lydia in the early morning. Even when observing this place from a bird's-eye view, it was still majestic and magical, with two majestic peaks on the left and right arrogantly strangled it.
Entering the edge of the sea, a wide river emerges, and the river is covered by artificially laid decks. It is a completely man-made dock. This is also the largest material transfer station in human land, and a large amount of goods are handled here every day.
Sent everywhere by carriage, airship, and transport ship.
Above the pier, there are long criss-crossing bridges and houses that cling to the mountain and are connected by long bridges. Together they complete the city's residential areas and streets, shaping the entire Lydia Bay into a crowded,
At the same time, it is an orderly trading city. The style of being built against the mountains and paved by the river adds an extraordinarily wonderful style to the city.
At this time, one of the twin suns was rising from the edge of the Sea of Conquest, and the rays of light gathered between the two mountain peaks, and then cast a layer of pleasant warm yellow over the city.
It’s really good to vacation here, Aranza thought, maybe after everything is over, he can take a rest here. But this idea was quickly popped by Aranza himself like a bubble reflecting colored light, and he
He knew that he would never have the opportunity to enjoy such a leisurely life now or in the future.
The journey made him exhausted, but he rarely had the chance to stop and enjoy the scenery. Even if he could stop temporarily, what appeared before him was billowing smoke and a messy battlefield.
After all, this journey is Aranza's own choice, so now that he has taken the first step, even if it is dripping with blood, he will insist on going to the end - until a new traveler steps over his body, heading higher and farther
March everywhere.
A moment later, the airship landed at the tower built on the top of a mountain.
This was an airship that did not have permission to land, so when Aranza stepped off the airship, she was immediately surrounded by the local defenders in Lydia Bay.
The armor on these defenders was more like decoration. In Aranza's opinion, it had no defensive power, and the spears they held were not sharp enough. Aranza just stretched out his hand, and the spear closest to him immediately turned into dust.
The eyes of the defenders were all horrified, and the guard captain who was about to step forward to question Aranza was so frightened that all his words were stuck in his throat. The strength Aranza showed casually made the guard captain know that this was not their fault.
The person he was attracted to, but he had already stepped forward, and his shame made him unwilling to just shrink back. For a moment, he was in a dilemma.
In the end, Aranza was the first to speak and said, "Well, are you from the Tulip family?"
"Yes...yes..."
The guard captain nodded tremblingly, then straightened his face and shouted: "This is the territory of the Tulip family. No airship is allowed to land here without permission. Who are you?!"
Aranza did not intend to embarrass these people and patiently explained: "The leader of the Thorn Mercenary Group, Aranza Tulip, would like to see the clan leader."
He didn't hesitate at all on his last name.
The guard captain suddenly took a few steps back. He was frightened. Obviously, he recognized Aranza's name.
"Dian...dian..."
The guard captain opened his mouth, but he didn't know what honorific to use, so that his forehead was instantly covered with cold sweat. He finally stammered: "Please wait a moment... I will report it right away!"
After the guard captain finished speaking, he ran back quickly, leaving a group of defenders looking at each other. They continued to surround Aranza. Without the captain's order, they didn't know whether to continue the encirclement or disperse.
Aranza, on the other hand, looked indifferent. He looked around and saw that there was no place to sit down and rest, so he planned to sit down directly on the pedal extending from the airship door, but he failed to control his strength for a moment.
The poor pedal was reduced to powder by her buttocks. Now, although Aranza had no intention of scaring the defenders, they still took back their weapons in a tacit and unified manner, and dispersed outwards one by one with pale faces and trembling.
Aranza could only smile innocently, and then simply sat on the ground, but then took a nap - he had been running continuously, and he had not had a good rest for a while. Even though the devil's heart made his body extremely strong, his spirit was still weak.
He will not be strengthened, and when he is tired, he cannot keep himself in an uplifting state.
A moment later, the guard captain appeared in front of Aranza again, but his face was no longer shocked, but serious. He respectfully said to Aranza: "Your Excellency, please follow me."
Aranza's eyelids twitched slightly, and without saying much, she stood up and followed the guard captain. Some inadvertent details can reveal a lot of information. For example, the guard captain's name for Aranza changed from the unpredictable at the beginning.
For the "Your Excellency" who has no worries.
However, the process of meeting the patriarch of the Tulip family was not as complicated as Aranza imagined. The guard captain led him across two long bridges and stopped in front of an inconspicuous two-story cabin.
Although it is inconspicuous, upon closer inspection, this cabin is very stylish. Regardless of the meticulous construction craftsmanship, just look at its location, it is on one of the two peaks that create the Lydia Bay.
The tail end is on a curved mountain, facing the vast sea beyond the river.
"The patriarch is inside."
The captain of the guard said to Aranza, and then walked away directly, leaving Aranza standing in front of the door with a playful look on his face.
The soul sensing ability has told Aranza that there is only one soul point in the cabin, a powerful soul point, and its owner is definitely the patriarch of the Tulip family, Cora Tulip.
The door was ajar, but Aranza hesitated for a moment, but she decided to skip the complicated steps and push the door open. Her soul was on the second floor, so Aranza did not stop in the living room on the first floor and stepped directly up.
Since Cora Tulip received Aranza in a casual manner, Aranza would not be restrained.
Just as they reached the second floor, Aranza suddenly felt a little embarrassed - the patriarch of the Tulip family had just finished taking a bath, and she was walking out of the bathroom wearing only a bathrobe.
In terms of appearance, Korra is not very beautiful, and her figure is not perfect. However, she has an aura that is difficult for other women to imitate, that is, the aura of a superior. This clearly visible aura makes the humble
Many men shy away in front of her, while confident men are filled with the desire to conquer her.
When Aranza saw Korra for the first time, the feeling in her heart did not belong to any of the above, but was out of instinctive vigilance. Aranza didn't know why he felt this way, but since his intuition was like this, he didn't
They will forcefully suppress it and use other feelings to deal with it.
Cora was not surprised at all by Aranza's appearance, and had no intention of changing into a bathrobe. She motioned to Aranza, "Sit down."
Aranza nodded, but walked to the balcony on one side. There was a white round table with exquisite craftsmanship. Next to the table were two exquisite white gold-rimmed chairs. These were the only seats Aranza could find. He walked over, and then carefully
He sat down, fearing that he would accidentally lose control of his strength and turn the chair into powder.
After sitting down, Aranza discovered that although the balcony faced the sea, the angle of view of the two chairs was the mountain peaks on both sides, and the picture that caught his eye was the vicissitudes of the rocks on the mountain peaks and the old trees entwined on them——
This is another kind of scenery, a scenery that is easily overlooked by people, but is more intuitive and shocking than the sea.
This scenery did not last in front of Aranza, because Cora immediately sat down opposite him, and the scenery in his eyes also changed to a queen wrapped in a bathrobe.
Aranza was wondering about Korra Tulip, and Korra Tulip was wondering about Aranza.
After a moment, she said: "Are you Ling's child?"
Aranza was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the two of them would have such a question at the beginning, so he could only nod stupidly.
Korra also nodded and said: "Well, not bad. Tell me, what do you want to do with me here?"
Aranza also knew something about the genealogy of the Tulip family. He knew that the patriarch of the family in front of him did not have much blood connection with him. In other words, they were not direct relatives. This made Aranza not know how to call Kou.
La, I could only say awkwardly: "Well, respected patriarch..."
But at this moment, Korra waved her hand towards him and said, "You can call me aunt."
Aranza was stunned again, then said awkwardly: "Okay, aunt...that's it, I want to...borrow troops from the family..."
"Oh!"
Korra suddenly laughed and said, "It seems you really don't regard yourself as an outsider."
Her words were like giving Aranza a piece of candy. The sweetness had not yet worn off, but then came a blow to the head.
This made the embarrassment on Aranza's face even more intense. Cora's attitude changed so quickly that all the reasons he had prepared were shattered at once, and she didn't know what to say.
However, Korra's attitude changed again and asked: "Tell me, what do you want to borrow troops for?"
Hearing this, Aranza was stunned for the third time. He didn't even know what expression to put on his face. He thought for a while and then asked cautiously: "Are you willing to help me?"
"Anyway, you've been using the surname 'Tulip' for these past few years, haven't you?"
Korra asked mercilessly, and then said: "Since you regard yourself as a member of the Tulip family, then I have nothing to say. Of course, if you want to borrow troops from me, you can, but you must meet the conditions first.
.”
Aranza breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, Korra did not block his way to borrow troops. He then relaxed a lot and asked, "Well, what are the conditions?"
