After Gladstone captured the town of Laika, he set off a bloody massacre in the city, and all participants in the incident were secretly executed.
After everything was taken care of, he returned to the attic and knocked gently on the door, "Your Highness, are you asleep?"
In the attic, laughter and laughter came from inside, and Chen Feng chatted with Liya to relieve her boredom.
"Uncle, are you here? There is no need to be so respectful to my niece." Leah's eyes were shining, and she lay on the bed and nodded to Gladstone.
But Gladstone did not respond to her immediately, but instead focused his attention on Chen Feng.
"Uncle, you don't have to worry. Chen Feng comes from the far east and is not a citizen of our Monty Kingdom. He won't talk too much and say things he shouldn't say." Leah explained.
The blood relationship between Gladstone and Leah is unknown to outsiders except members of the royal family.
Leah's biological mother, the White Queen, is Gladstone's biological sister. She has the most orthodox aristocratic bloodline and is not just a lowly commoner as rumored by the outside world.
Due to the express regulations of the sacred temple at that time, marriages between the ruling families of the four major cities and the Monti royal family were not allowed.
The purpose is to share rights and allow the federal state to operate more stably.
As long as any main city forms an alliance with the powerful Monty royal family, it can annex the other three main cities, and can even directly transition the federal country to the empire level. This is absolutely not allowed for the pope who holds the power of theocracy.
.
In order to avoid this rule, the king and Gladstone agreed to disguise the White Queen as an ordinary commoner and marry into the royal family.
She passed away after giving birth to little Leah.
"I have traveled across the oceans with the fleet over the years and have been to many places. I wonder where exactly the east is that you are referring to?"
It was obvious that Leah and Chen Feng had a good relationship, so Gladstone put down his guard and took the initiative to chat with him.
"It's very far away. It has to cross an entire ocean. If you use an ordinary sailing ship, it may take two or three years to sail to get there."
It is easier to convince people to say that one comes from the distant Eastern Continent than to say that one has traveled through time. After all, the humans here have never been to the East, so whatever they say is what they say.
"Oh, since they are so far apart, how did you get to the continent of Azersia?"
Gladstone also always believed that there was a new continent in the East. He once sent a large fleet of ships, but was eventually forced to give up due to tsunamis and extreme weather.
"Flying on a plane..."
"Can chickens still sit? I have seen white chickens and flower chickens, but I have never heard of gray chickens. I have never heard of them."
"Planes are not a type of chicken, but a very common means of transportation. They can fly hundreds of kilometers an hour. In addition to airplanes, our Eastern world also has high-speed rails and giant ships, all of which are super fast."
Chen Feng spoke seriously, while Gladstone and Leah listened quietly, nodding their heads in agreement from time to time.
"Chen Feng also said that there are neon lights and carousels in the Eastern World. I must go and see it if I have the chance." Liya added. These days, Chen Feng has been teaching her a lot about what he has seen and heard in the modern world, so that she can
Full of curiosity about the mysterious Eastern world.
"When we build the warship, my uncle will personally take you to explore the East." Gladstone stroked Leah's head lovingly.
After a moment of silence, Gladstone seemed to suddenly think of something. He quickly asked: "Does the plane you mentioned have two metal wings? And an oval pointed head?"
"What do you mean? Have you ever seen an airplane?"
"Some time ago, some civilians discovered a pile of unidentified wreckage outside Petersburg. It was a novelty that we had never seen before, like a paraglider, but its size must be hundreds of times larger."
"Can you take me to have a look now? My fiancée and I were blown apart by a magnetic storm. I want to know if she is alive or dead now? That plane is the only clue."
Gladstone's description is very similar to the plane Chen Feng took earlier.
"Don't be anxious now. Let Princess Leia regain her strength before heading back to Petersburg."
"Uncle, I'm fine. You'd better take Chen Feng back to Petersburg as soon as possible." At Leah's plea, Gladstone led the escort knights and rushed back to Petersburg overnight.
At dawn, the knights arrived outside the city.
"You escort Princess Leia back to the city lord's palace, and I will take brother Chen Feng to look for the plane wreckage outside the city."
Under Gladstone's guidance, the knights walked through the woods and came to a low-lying valley.
The plane was stuck calmly in the crevice of the mountain, head down, and was burned beyond recognition by the fire, leaving only a pile of steel wreckage.
"Keke!" Chen Feng rushed forward and opened the bent hatch.
There was only a burnt corpse left inside. His face could not be seen clearly, but his frame was wide and his skull was convex. He looked like an adult man. Chen Feng speculated that he should be the driver.
"She's not wearing a ring, it's not Keke, she's still alive."
The night before going to Antarctica to see penguins, Chen Feng proposed to Zhang Ke and put an engagement ring on her hand.
"Keke, I'm Chen Feng, where are you?" Chen Feng climbed up the hillside and shouted at the top of his lungs, but he didn't get any response.
"Brother Chen Feng, don't worry, I will immediately order the knights to launch a carpet search along the foothills, hoping to help you find your fiancée." Gladstone sent out all the accompanying knights.
"She is a woman who has watched 800 episodes of Conan. She will definitely leave some clues for me."
Chen Feng dismantled the wreckage bit by bit, but most of the items inside were burned. Only a smartphone was found in the safe in the cockpit.
Unfortunately, not only is there no signal, but the battery is also running out.
"Go back and rest first. Let's leave the search to the Knights."
Chen Feng put his cell phone in his pocket and followed the knights back to Petersburg.
"How's it going? Have you found your fiancée?" Liya was waiting at the gate of the city. When she saw Chen Feng, she asked with concern.
"We haven't found her yet, but I feel she is still alive." Chen Feng sighed, "I will continue to search."
Time passed by half a month. During this period, Chen Feng and the Knights almost turned over a hundred kilometers of Petersburg. They still could not find any trace of Zhang Ke, let alone a trace.
No signs of passing were found.
It is very likely that it has drifted to a more distant place...
"Her Royal Highness Liya will leave to return to the royal city tomorrow. Little brother Chen Feng, do you plan to go back with the princess, or stay in Petersburg?"
Gladstone wanted to recruit him, so he continued: "If you are willing to stay, then I will create a position of naval commander specifically for you."
The ocean is vast and mysterious. Chen Feng's previous description fascinated Gladstone, and he eagerly wanted to find the mysterious eastern continent.
And Chen Feng is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.
"Thank you City Lord for your kind invitation, but I want to stay with Princess Leia."
Chen Feng is not interested in following Gladstone to search for the Eastern Continent. He just wants to find his missing fiancée. To do this, he can turn Azersia upside down.
