Chapter 50: .Flower City: Saran Riel

Compared with the Everwinter City, where snow falls all the year round, Saran Riel is absolutely the opposite. Due to the greenhouse effect of the outer super-giant glass cover, the temperature here can be maintained above 15 degrees all year round, so there are flowers and green grass everywhere, as if it will never wither.
The Asker people have a love for natural plants flowing from their bones, which may originate from a certain obsession after the alchemists were driven away from their homeland and wandered indefinitely. When the floating city was first built, they chose this shelter from the Faron Mountains. The cold wind from the north was blocked by the towering peaks and settled, and there was rain and dew that could nourish the earth.
The industrious Asker people built a magnificent creation called the beehive on this water-rich land. The continuous hexagonal greenhouse is centered on the castle, like an undulating white ocean, covering almost all areas, continuously providing food, medicine, and flower landscapes for the entire Northern Federation. Its importance is not Inferior to the heart.
It was noon, and the Weir finally arrived at its destination after a morning of rapid flight. The old captain commanded the course and approached the port slowly through the trapezoidal steel frame. The buoyant balloon also began to release air, controlling the airship. Landed smoothly on the alloy round platform.
Rhea stood by the window silently looking at the dense white greenhouse canopy under her feet, with a little unsearchable envy-if the ice city could also build such a stable planting area, it would be a pity that it was full of ice Even the root grass cannot grow on the frozen soil...
The girl lord was looking out of the window, and a hesitant cough came from behind. She quickly reduced her expression and looked back. Captain Casa was standing by the door with an awkward smile, arching her back slightly, and rubbing her hands nonstop. She seemed to be deeply disturbed by the rude act of leaving without saying goodbye.
"Can you get off the boat?" Riya didn't realize his strange look, and smiled gently, turned around and took off the short velvet robe and set it on the podium, revealing the red and white she likes most. The short skirts of the samurai alternated with each other, which looked extraordinarily heroic.
After she asked, she didn't mean to wait for an answer. She walked out of the room, and the captain hurriedly followed. The two followed the stairs on the side of the cabin to the deck. As soon as they looked up, they saw the six or seven-meter-high gemstone golden sheep's head statue glowing on the crystal obelisk standing in the center of the airport. It is the clan emblem of Asker.
What a luxurious taste... She secretly sighed and swept her gaze around quickly. The petal-like stretch of the airport apron was busy with traffic, and large and small transport vehicles entered from the right passage and went all the way to the airship platform. Next to the external take-off and landing machine, after unloading, he drove out from the left again. Ground crews wearing eye-catching light green striped uniforms constantly waved various command flags and ran back and forth, so that the busy platform can maintain basic traffic order.
"Let everyone rest and don't disembark. We will set off soon." Rhea turned back and instructed the captain, and walked off the ship's side alone, and walked around the square pillar along the sign on the platform. A non-commissioned officer in a white military uniform greeted her.
"His Royal Highness, my Royal Highness has been waiting for a long time...please come with me." The sergeant saluted respectfully and gestured back. Rhea nodded slightly, and followed him through the warm and enclosed corridor. As soon as he turned the corner, he saw a golden drooping robe standing expressionless outside the VIP room under the hall of Saron, with four people holding swords beside them. The sword is guarded by the man.
The middle-aged lord seemed to be in a very unhappy mood at the moment. He did not frown, but judging from his slightly squinted eyes, narrowed lips and slightly rapid breathing, what made him angry is definitely There is no way to be kind.
Seeing the elder who had not met for a long time, Rhea was very happy in her heart, and quickly stepped forward and pressed the skirt to give a gift to the younger generation, saying "His Royal Highness Saron, long time no see", but she looked up and saw that he was still indifferent. In response, I was a little surprised. From the VIP room, there was a brisk woman's laughter: "It's a coincidence, I asked someone to ask, you are here..."
Accompanied by this laughter, a lady wearing a long aqua-blue gauze scarf and a white skirt with a gold thread waist appeared in front of the door with her mouth covered. She looks like she is about forty years old, but her figure is still well maintained, brown curly hair shawl, plump oval face always seems to be smiling, brows and eye corners can't even see any obvious wrinkles, apparently proficient in Asker's family heritage Way of maintenance.
The lady smiled brightly, and she walked to Ria with her skirt as if she hadn’t seen the lord. She took a closer look and then took her hand, and asked sighfully: "You child, it’s not for so many years. Come and see us, are you so busy? Even if you have nothing to do, come here to report that you are safe, so that we don't worry about it..." She shook her head pretending to be angry, but her eyes were filled with relief.
Rhea felt hot in her heart and shook her hand and whispered "Mrs. Adelissa", but didn't know what to say for a while. This lady is Yuno's mother, the wife of Lord Saron, and a famous botanist in the Northern Federation. She still remembers that every time she came to flowers when she was a child, the lady with only boys in the house would wear a few delicate and beautiful flowers on her long hair, hold her red face to praise, and then take her to visit My own magical breeding ground, where you will always see Yuno and Ian...
She thought that she felt a little down here, and just sighed with a bitter smile, she heard Lord Saron’s low and hoarse complaint: "Who would care about her... it's fine if she doesn't come, she just made this one. What happened..."
"My dear, what did you just say?" The lady turned her head abruptly when she heard these words, with a gentle smile without threats, and asked gently, but the sword seemed to be hidden in her eyes. Human chill.
How could the lord not understand his wife's temper, knowing that she didn't want to be rude in front of outsiders, turned her head with a light snorted, and answered with disdain.
Rhea can understand Lord Saron’s concerns very well, but for Gloria’s consideration, she can’t explain the cause and effect to the other party. She can only keep a wry smile. She is trying to say something comforting, and she vaguely hears from a distance. The teenager grumbled dullly.
"...How can I bring so many things? Just leave the medicine. I don't want the others."
A rough old voice sounded afterwards: "Little young master, these are all the master has ordered you to take... we really can't help it..."
"I don't want him to be nosy, do with so many messy things, I am not traveling!"
"Hey...little master, the master is also uneasy, just follow him once..."
"Humph……"
These reluctant conversations made the atmosphere in the hall awkward in the blink of an eye. Lord Saron’s gloomy face was drooling, and the lady’s enthusiastic smile became stiff, but she still laughed. After a few sounds, Rhea felt even more cramped.
Fortunately, this situation only lasted for a moment. With the creak of the door opening, the little doctor Yuno, wearing a blue shirt and grey breeches and wearing a linen travel cloak, walked into the hall quickly, wrapped in wind. He was making emotions at the moment, pulling his face long, cocked his mouth and didn't want to speak, but his heart was still churning: This S-level mercenary mission was unexpectedly strongly opposed by his father, he didn't understand his father. Worries, but have promised to others, where can I go back? What's more, he also had his own reasons for insisting... Both of them were reluctant to give up, so they had a big quarrel. Although with the help and persuasion of his mother, the father finally had to give in, but he did not give up. The final bottom line makes him still very depressed...
so annoying! If Gloria and the others see it, he won't laugh at me... He squinted his eyes angrily, and then glanced back slightly. A white-haired old man in a blue and white butler uniform followed him with a wry smile. This is the old butler Mr. Leiden who has served in the lord’s mansion for a lifetime, and then a long line of white-clothed sergeants carrying large bags. , Extending from the door to the corner, all smiled, afraid to speak.
He had to figure out a way to get rid of these guys... He secretly muttered and looked up, unexpectedly seeing Rhea standing in front of the gate, looking strangely to this side, and he couldn't help but stop behind him. The line of neatly arranged soldiers was caught off guard and almost knocked to the ground.
After a flurry of chaos, the little doctor who had made the joke made a calm cough, secretly waved his hand backwards, and signaled the old housekeeper to take someone to escape. The old man nodded intently, and was about to exit the hall when he heard Lord Saron's slightly dissatisfied majestic command: "Leiden, what are you doing so slowly, first send things to the airship!"
It seems that the master intends to take advantage of the presence of the guests to make the first move... The old man helplessly spread his hands towards the young master, not dare to say more, and followed the order with the soldiers to walk forward slowly.
Yuno looked anxious, but Sister Rhea was here, and he couldn't do anything out of the ordinary to avoid being rude. He could only step forward gracefully with the nobleman's appearance, bow first slowly, and then watch. The line of soldiers carrying their luggage said nonchalantly: "My father...If there is too much luggage, I'm afraid the airship will not fit..."
"Can't you let it go?" The lord immediately turned his head and looked at Rhea, with a cold face, his eyes with the blade light seemed to shout: Do you dare to say nothing!
Yuno also looked at this life-saving friend expectantly, hoping that the other party could discover the distress hidden under his indifferent expression in his eager eyes.
Rhea was dumbfounded by these two diametrically opposed lines of sight. One is a friend who has known each other for many years, and the other is an elder who silently supports her, which really makes her dilemma. She hesitated twice and didn't know how to choose. The lady beside her smiled softly, and finally spoke: "Okay, okay, don’t bother you two too much... Just put as much as you can, don’t let I am embarrassed."
She laughed helplessly, shook her head for this big and small temper, and then pulled Rhea Wenyan to explain: "This child is hard to get to the far door. We still can't rest assured. Bring more things just in case. Good too."
Rhea couldn't say anything else, only agreeing with nodding and saying yes, trying to escape the embarrassing atmosphere as an excuse to lead the way. Yuno glanced at his mother sadly, and exchanged a slightly reproachful look. Finally he couldn't hold his face. He mumbled vaguely "I'm leaving too" in a calm throat, and then ran out with the girl tightly in his cloak. hall.
Lord Saron opened his mouth subconsciously, and when he looked panicked and wanted to catch up, his wife held back his sleeves.
"My dear..." The lady held her husband's right hand with a constant smile, and whispered softly.
The lord looked back at the immutable persistence in her thorough eyes, pursed her mouth, and finally stood still and sighed. He didn't speak any more, only held his hands tighter.
The Weir is an old-style airship, and its storage capacity is not even the average of a medium-sized ship, so there is so much luggage. In desperation, the old butler abandoned some of the most important items and squeezed the small cargo space again and again, barely bursting.
After the mission was completed, the delivery soldiers quickly lined up and stepped off the airship. Yuno stood behind the glass wall on the edge of the deck, looking at the group of sending off in the distance, feeling slightly confused. After a lapse of more than a year, he finally left this warm and comfortable place again, but always confined his world. His heart is full of longing for the upcoming adventure life, but there are some things that he seems to have deliberately forgotten. After seeing the almost indistinguishable crowd of seeing off, he slams into his heart and breaks into his mind: That It is an unforgettable attachment to relatives and homeland.
He has traveled many times before, but never once was he able to experience such reluctance and sorrow that impacted his heart. Perhaps it was because of the scars carved into his soul that he had to face in this mission; perhaps it was because of the scars that he had to face. What flickered in his father's eyes, so heavy that he didn't dare to think about it, was deeply saddened...
"His Royal Highness and Madam are waving at you..." Rhea's soft voice reminded him. He quickly inhaled the sour tip of his nose, raised his smile and waved his hands vigorously, saying goodbye to them. He didn't want to say goodbye to them. The fragile side remains in the eyes of relatives, and then makes them worry and fear.
With a low whistle of the magic power conversion machine, the airship was slowly raised by the filled buoyancy balloon, entering the predetermined track surrounded by the signal lights lit on the edge of the steel frame, gradually accelerating, leaving the airport, and starting this A long voyage of nearly one day and one night.
The crew had all entered the cabin to operate their instruments, and only Yuno and Rhea were still standing by the glass wall, watching the smaller and smaller, golden castle that looked like a projectile.
"...I still think that you can stay in the city is the best choice... After all, I still can't know, or even speculate, what is going on in the ruins..." Rhea decided Looking into the distance, he seemed to be talking to himself, his expression was serious, and his tone was so calm that there was no slight tremor.
"I want to go!" Yuno interrupted her eagerly, but didn't say a word, just stared at the almost invisible floating city, motionless.
Rhea was taken aback by the decisive low voice, but her lips curled up in a moment, showing a gentle smile. She still looked into the distance, was silent for a while, still sighed softly as if she was talking to herself: "Welcome to the team, Yuno Asker... Your Excellency therapist..."
High in the sky was full of severe icy winds, bypassing the seamless glass baffle, quickly stirring the long cloaks of the two of them. Their hair was up in the wind and flew messily, but the two eye pupils remained unmoved as if they were frozen, blinking without blinking, and only looked at the endless sky above their heads, as if they could penetrate it and reach the other side, That eternal sleeping soul abode...
