Chapter 421
His entire body was cold, like ice.
“Why is it like this?” Shen lang asked.
“Because this body is too weak,” Queen Medusa replied.
Was this body still weak? He was the strongest that Shen lang had ever seen.
of course. Your Chou Yao ‘er is already very strong. Queen Medusa said, ” however, humans are different from us in all aspects. We can live for a very long time, while you humans can only live for a hundred years at most. We are constantly exchanging energy with nature, the sun, and the entire world. As long as we’re awake and alive, even if we have to consume a huge amount of energy every minute and every second, we’ll still be able to survive.”
Shen lang understood.
This was probably like a car. After the entire engine system of the Bugatti Veyron was modified and installed on a car in the early 20th century, even if it could be driven, it could be driven very fast, up to 200 to 300 kilometers per hour.
However, they had to stop after driving for half an hour at most and then do major maintenance, otherwise the whole car would be scrapped.
As a result, the car could only be parked in the garage most of the time. If it was driven too many times, the car would break apart.
Chou Yao ‘er’s body was already very strong, but it was still not enough for Queen Medusa.
That was why she had spent most of her time in a long sleep over the past few years. Otherwise, she would consume a large amount of energy and overdraw the vitality of this body even if she remained awake and motionless.
Baby one was the same. Because she was too young, her body was even more fragile.
in fact, if I want to live, I have to enter a complete eternal sleep. This way, the energy consumption of my body can be reduced to the extreme, ” Queen Medusa said.”But I still need to wake up.”
That’s right, she had to wake up every time because there were too many people who needed her protection.
actually, these people have nothing to do with you, ” Shen lang said. protecting them is Chou Yao ‘er’s responsibility.
“But now, Chou Yao ‘er and I are one, so it’s my responsibility,” Queen Medusa said.
Chou Yao ‘er wanted to be a complete swordsman. She wanted to travel everywhere, free and unrestrained.
However, it was impossible for people to have absolute freedom. In raging tide city, she was tied down by Qiu Tianwei’s kindness of raising her, and now she was tied down by the person she was protecting.
She was too universal.
Queen Medusa smiled. Sir Shen lang, before you came to Queen City, did you want to see Chou Yao ‘er or Medusa? ”
“Chou Yao ‘er,” Shen lang said after a long silence.
These were his heartfelt words. Even though Queen Medusa was more beautiful and more powerful, she seemed too perfect, too distant, and too unreal.
On the other hand, Chou Yao ‘er was filled with a strong personality. She was truly a special and charming woman. Even after a few years, Shen lang could not forget her.
don’t worry, ” Queen Medusa said with a smile. I will return Qiu Yao ‘er to you before I die.
“What about the current her?” Shen lang asked.
Queen Medusa said,”she can see, hear, and feel.” It’s not because I’m too overbearing, but in terms of pure soul power, we’re too strong.”
“So, at least the person I’m talking to now is the complete Queen Medusa,” Shen lang said.
“Yes!” Queen Medusa said. When I’m about to die, I’ll be the complete Chou Yao ‘er.”
“Did you possess Chou Yao ‘er’s body?” Shen lang asked.
Medusa shook her head. no, it’s the exact opposite. It was Chou Yao ‘er who barged into my world and forcefully woke me up.
This sounded like a fantasy, and it was incomprehensible. However, Shen lang thought of himself. His soul came from earth, but his body was the Shen lang of this world.
“Do you mind if I lie down and talk to you?” Medusa asked. This way, I’ll consume the least amount of energy. Even if I’m just standing, I’ll be consuming too much life force.”
Shen lang helped Queen Medusa lie down.
however, as you can see, I can’t die. In order to protect 110 and many innocent people, I can’t die. So, I sleep most of the time. “You’ve finally come,” Queen Medusa said.
“Forgive me for being blunt, but this new world belongs to the xilun dynasty.” We’re both outsiders. that’s why we can’t protect the city-states of the witch Empire, and we can’t even protect Duke holler. My goal is to return to the great Yan Empire for revenge. I have no interest in the Western world.”
I know, ” Queen Medusa said. I know that after I die, I can’t protect the Queen’s city, nor can I protect these city-states of the witch Empire. I can’t even protect the countless slaves that have been liberated. East to East, West to West.”
There was nothing wrong with what she said, as Duke dybosse had always said so.
you are the Emperor of the East, and I am an outsider, ” Queen Medusa said. neither of us can be the Emperor of the New World, but there is one person who can.
“Who?” Shen lang asked.
“What do you think of the person who built the Queen’s city?” Queen Medusa asked.
“The Empress of the second xilun Empire?” Shen lang asked. She’s a genius, an absolute artistic genius, but she’s been dead for more than a hundred years.”
yes, ” Queen Medusa said. but she also has a great-great-granddaughter. She is qualified to inherit the throne of the xilun dynasty.
Shen lang said,”so what?” She has nothing to do with us, and I have no interest in the XI Lun dynasty’s fight for the throne.”
“What if she is your half-sister?” Queen Medusa asked.
“Ah Yingluo, uh Yingluo”
Shen lang was speechless.
“I’m just guessing,” Queen Medusa said,”you should have read part of the xilun dynasty’s history. After Empress Helen ascended the throne, she was opposed by the northern nobles, so she moved the capital South and built the Queen’s city. It was from that time that the South of the xilun dynasty was greatly developed. In order to develop the southern part of the Empire, Empress Helen declared a large-scale abolition of slavery, freeing countless slaves in the South and even promoted many of the original residents of the Vida to become officials of the xilun Empire.”
Shen lang did not know about this as he did not see it in any of the history books of the xilun dynasty. However, this was also normal. Although Empress Helen was recognized by everyone, and no one rebelled when she was in power, most of the nobles of the xilun dynasty secretly opposed her policies.
Therefore, the seed of the second xilun Empire’s destruction was planted during the era of Empress Helen.
She had done nothing wrong, but she had caused the entire Empire to be divided.
“After the death of Empress Helen of the second xilun Empire, her son inherited the throne and returned to the xilun capital. As for Queen Helen’s daughter, she stayed in Queen City and became a Prince of the Empire.”
“In other words, they are the daughters and granddaughters of Empress Helen, who ruled the Queen’s city?” Shen lang asked.
“Yes, the hall family has been Queen Helen’s loyal managers for generations,” Queen Medusa said.
“Please continue,” Shen lang said.
Queen Medusa said, ” forty years ago, the ruler of Queen’s city was the great-granddaughter of Queen Helen, Countess Xue Lai. She was the most talented woman in the entire xilun dynasty. She was known as the Pearl of xilun and had unparalleled wisdom. She did not get married until she was in her thirties, causing countless nobles in the xilun dynasty to be dejected. However, she suddenly disappeared for a period of time. When she reappeared, she had already given birth to a daughter named Helen. She had the same name as her great-grandmother, Empress Helen.”
“Do you mean that Princess Helen is the child of Emperor Jiang Li and Princess Xue Lai?” Shen lang asked.
“Queen Medusa’s Palace in Queen’s city is definitely a Palace for females, especially the Royal Mausoleum. Even the Countess ‘husband can’t enter it. However, there was evidence of Emperor Jiang Li’s existence. Therefore, it was reasonable to suspect that Emperor Jiang Li had stayed here for a long time. Also, after she was born, she seemed to be of mixed blood and had the characteristics of an Oriental.”
she has an Oriental bloodline, ” Shen lang said. I don’t think it’s possible for her to become the Empress of the Third Empire of xilun, right? ”
“The entire South will support him,” Queen Medusa said,”especially the original residents of the Vida tribe. The xilun dynasty is currently divided, and what it needs is a Queen who can accommodate all races. Her mixed blood can become a symbol in this regard. The xilun dynasty is open to the world, and it is a symbol of co-existence for all races.”
“What about Princess Helen?” Shen lang asked.
she’s a crazy adventurer, ” Queen Medusa said. she left Queen’s city when she was only 16 years old and has not returned since. It’s been 17 years.
“If she is still alive, she would be 33 years old this year?” Shen lang asked.
Queen Medusa said,”if she appears, the entire South of xilun dynasty will have a true target of loyalty.” If she can become the Empress of the 3rd xilun Empire, she will be your absolute ally.”
........................
“Alright, let’s not talk about this Princess Helen of xilun dynasty for now.” “Your Majesty, how much more time do you have?” Shen lang asked.
if I stay in the underground tomb of the palace, I’ll be sleeping most of the time, ” Queen Medusa said. there’s still a year.
A year?
please don’t worry. When I am about to die, I will not drag Chou Yao ‘er down with me. I will return her to you.
in other words, you can’t leave the Queen’s city for a year. You can’t even leave the royal tomb? ” Shen lang asked.
“That’s right, you can’t leave even if you’re 11,” Queen Medusa said.
“What about 11 after a year?” Shen lang asked.
Queen Medusa said,”before I die, not only will I return Chou Yao ‘er to you, but I will also return her to you.” I’ll also give everything I have left to 11. At the cost of my life, I might be able to extend her life by a few years. I’ll have to rely on you next. I’ve already done my best as a mother. The responsibility of protecting 110 will be handed over to you as a father.”
Then, she looked at Shen lang and said,”actually, if I kill myself now, I can return Chou Yao ‘er to you.” &Nbsp;
Shen lang shook his head.
Queen Medusa could not die now. Once she died, Queen City would fall, and there would be no one to protect her.
That was because Shen lang was not strong enough as a father.
Queen Medusa said, ” Mr. Shen lang, your time is very tight. You have to become stronger within a year. You have to have the ability to protect 11. You have to have the ability to protect everyone. now, the eyes of the entire third xilun Empire are on me, on Queen City. As long as I’m alive, this city will not fall. “This is the golden time for you to develop. Your greatest enemy, Duke dybosse, is also being held back here by me and has no time to pay attention to your existence.”
“How many people can I take away?” Shen lang asked.
our Army suffered heavy casualties in the battle with Duke Russell, ” Queen Medusa said. I’ve been sleeping most of the time, so I need a certain number of soldiers to defend Queen’s city. You can only take 2000 people with you.
“It’s enough, it’s more than enough.” Shen lang said, ” I want to take 500 Roland Knights, 1000 Black Pearl Pirates, and 500 Eastern Knights.
“Alright,” the Queen said.
“Your Majesty, I still need a group of intelligent people,” Shen lang said.
I’ve captured hundreds of scholars and apprentices from the sky-Sea Pavilion, ” Queen Medusa said. they’re very smart.
the sky-Sea Pavilion is my enemy, ” Shen lang said. are they loyal? ”
Queen Medusa said, ” it’s not enough, especially for the older scholars. The sky-Sea Pavilion has left too deep an impression on them. However, the younger apprentices should be able to be modified. They may not be as intelligent and have not mastered that much knowledge, but at least they have not been completely brainwashed.
In fact, a group of wise men was the most important to Shen lang.
That was because Shen lang was going to invent new things on a large scale, and it would take a long time to train talents from scratch. Of course, they could also directly capture a large number of alchemists, but their loyalty was a problem.
Those who are not of our race must have a different heart.
..................
Shen lang found Zhang Chunhua.
“Chun Hua, I’m leaving.” Shen lang said.
“So fast?” Zhang Chunhua was surprised.
“The situation is more pressing than I thought,” Shen lang said.
“Are you willing to come with me?” he asked.
“Go with you?” Zhang Chunhua asked. Leave the Queen?”
“Yes,” Shen lang said.
“Why would I go with you?” Zhang Chunhua asked.
“Become my think tank and my female manager,” Shen lang said.
Zhang Chunhua hesitated.
Shen lang did not say that the Queen only had one year left to live, nor did he say that the Queen had placed her hopes on him.
“Shen lang, you will kill your way back to the great Yan Empire, right?” Zhang Chunhua asked.
“Yes,” Shen lang said.
“Then I’ll follow you.” “But I’ll make it clear in advance that I’m not your plaything,” Zhang Chunhua said.
Shen lang said,”just wait until you are so tired that you will vomit blood.” Zhang Chunhua, do you trust the sky-Sea Pavilion scholars that you captured with you?”
“It’s not worth it,” they’re loyal to the sky-Sea Pavilion, ” Zhang Chunhua said. even if they’re at the end of the world, they’ll still be loyal to the sky-Sea Pavilion.
Shen lang said, ” I need to use some smart people. Next, we will research all kinds of new weapons. They will be killer-level weapons. I need a team that is absolutely worthy of my trust. How many can you pick for me?”
no one is absolutely trustworthy, ” Zhang Chunhua said. unless the value you give them exceeds the honor that sky-Sea Pavilion gives them. Only young apprentices have room for modification. I can find you 30 to 40 of such people.”
Back then, Queen Medusa had captured a few hundred people, but Shen lang could only bring so few people with him.
The key was that they had been on the move for many years, tens of thousands of miles away from the eastern world. The sky-Sea Pavilion’s brainwashing skills were really strong.
..................
Baby one was very happy.
Because her parents were by her side at this time, she had been sleeping most of the time since she was young. Even when she woke up, her mother was not by her side.
Shen lang hugged her soft body and told her a fairy tale.
11 listened very seriously, as if he wanted to engrave every word into his mind.
After the story, 11 was a little tired.
She needed to sleep, or she would hurt her body. She was too weak.
Shen lang hugged her tightly. She was really his father’s Snow White.
this is the toy that daddy made for you. Of course, it’s too easy for our baby one one. Shen lang said gently.
Then, he put a toy in 11 “s hand.
It was a third-order Rubik’s Cube that Shen lang had made overnight. It was a very special Rubik’s Cube.
There were a total of six noodles. The first was Shen lang, the Father. The second was Medusa, the third was baby one one, the fourth was baby Shen Jue, the fifth was baby Shen Ye, and the sixth was baby Shen Li.
Shen lang drew very carefully, and every side of the portrait was very vivid.
After the Rubik’s Cube was completely messed up, these people’s faces were all messed up as well. They needed to put these faces back together to be complete.
“Baby, try it.” Shen lang said.
Yaoyi took the Rubik’s Cube and took a look at it.
Then, she started to twist the Rubik’s Cube.
In just half a minute, the Rubik’s Cube was complete, and all six sides were pieced together.
Shen lang was once again stunned. Is this my daughter? Baby, you’re much smarter than daddy.
He didn’t tell her any formulas or incantations. The little girl could understand it at a glance.
This simply couldn’t be described as a genius.
“Our family’s baby is too smart. The smartest and prettiest little princess in the world.” Shen lang gave him a thumbs up and said,”I wonder how much my younger siblings will admire him when they see him.” &Nbsp;
Baby one one was a little proud and a little shy. Hiding in his father’s arms, his big eyes were flowing with an extremely happy light, as sweet as honey.
“Baby, daddy will come back to pick you up within a year, okay?” by that time, ” Shen lang said gently, ” 11 and dad will not be separated anymore, okay? ”
Baby one one widened her eyes and looked at Shen lang. She did not cry but nodded her head seriously.
Her body was weak, but her will was strong.
Shen lang held her in his arms again and held back his tears.
baby, I’ll do what I promised you. I’ll crawl to you within a year even if I have to.
I, Shen lang, might have let down many people, but I will definitely not let down my baby Yiyi.
Shen lang swore in his heart again and again before he said softly, ” “Alright, go to sleep, baby.”
Yaoyao obediently closed her eyes and soon fell asleep, her little hands still holding the Rubik’s Cube, unwilling to let go.
Shen lang hugged her until midnight. Finally, he placed her on the bed unwillingly.
baby, Daddy’s Gone, but he’ll be back to pick you up soon.
He walked out of the dustless room.
any powerful person will be melted. “That’s why humans are extremely fragile,” Queen Medusa said.
“This is human,” Shen lang said.
“I’ve also become weak,” Queen Medusa said.
Then, she looked at Shen lang and said,”goodbye, future human Emperor.” When you return, I will return Chou Yao ‘er to you.”
With that, Queen Medusa turned and left, leisurely walking into the underground tomb of the palace.
Shen lang felt that his heart was about to collapse again.
Could this be the last time he would see Queen Medusa’s back? She was so beautiful and alluring that it was unreal.
Between Qiu Yao ‘er and Queen Medusa, could only one of them exist in this world?
........................
Two hours later!
Shen lang left the Queen’s city and brought 2000 people to the sea in the East.
Two whole days later, the two thousand people finally arrived at the seaside.
This area of the sea was very remote and full of hidden reefs, so the fleet of the third xilun Empire would rarely patrol here.
After three hours.
Four pirate ships appeared in the dangerous waters.
The person driving the boat was an absolute master, able to avoid all the submerged reefs.
Shen Lang’s 2000 men boarded the four pirate ships without a sound and left the area carefully. They headed 300 miles east, then South, and finally West towards saltpeter Island.
From the beginning to the end, Shen lang did not say anything. He did not make any bold statements.
Just like that, he left Queen City silently, boarded the four ships, and sailed into the unknown distance.
Perhaps not far away.
To Shen lang, the place he was going to was closer to the great Yan Empire.
Shen lang stood on the deck and looked at the vast sea.
A person stood beside him, silent and not speaking.
Black Pearl? The leader of a pirate crew? She actually followed Shen lang here?
I’m from the skeleton Pirates. I was still very young when they left. our Skull Party Pirates used to run amuck all over the world, ” the Black Pearl said. everyone was hiding under our blades. Whether it was Dukes or princes, they all begged for our protection.
“There wasn’t a day that I didn’t think of finding them, my parents, and my skeleton gang. Her Majesty the Queen promised me that even if she couldn’t help me find the skeleton gang, she would find someone for me. And then you appeared. Can you find the skeleton gang?”
The Black Pearl asked Shen lang.
“As long as they are alive, I can find them,” Shen lang said.
“Then I’ll serve you,” the Black Pearl said.
..................
we’re people who were abandoned by the Amazon Empire. We’re a disgrace. We fought with all our might just to tell the Amazon Queen that a person’s strength doesn’t just depend on their body, but also their will.
There were 500 Roland Knights who followed Shen lang to explore the new city, and the leader was called Meng Roland.
Meng was their name, and Roland was their surname. She was also a powerful female warrior, second only to violet.
“Queen Medusa has saved our entire race, so we will obey any of her orders.” no matter where you ask us to go, ” Meng luolan said. no matter who we fight, we will not back down. We only have one request of you.
“Please speak,” Shen lang said.
Meng luolan said,”if we die, please scatter our ashes on the waters of the Amazon Empire.” We can’t go back to our own kingdom in life, and we can’t go back in even if we die, but at least we can get closer to our ancestors.”
Shen lang looked at the tall woman and nodded seriously.
And he was very sad. The entire Roland clan was exiled by the Amazon Kingdom because they were not strong enough, which brought unprecedented trauma to their hearts.
During the battle with Duke Russell in the Queen’s city, Shen lang realized that the Roland Knights were abnormally brave. They were filled with the feeling of martyrs. Not only were they not afraid of death, but they also seemed to be pursuing it.
It was as if only by dying on the battlefield could they prove that they were female Amazonian Warriors and not disgrace the glory of their ancestors.
..................
A handsome middle-aged man stood in front of Shen lang. He was the leader of the eastern Knights, LAN Feng.
“Do you have an elder brother called LAN Dao?” Shen lang asked.
“Yes, but I fell out with him,” LAN Feng said, startled.
Shen lang did not ask him why he had a falling out with LAN Dao, but it must be because of their different beliefs.
“Master LAN Dao is my best friend,” Shen lang said.
he has friends all over the world, ” LAN Feng said. young master Shen, don’t be deceived by his enthusiasm. Perhaps he has countless close friends like you.
LAN Feng’s words were filled with ridicule. He should have left the Empire of Great Yan a long time ago, so he still thought that LAN Dao was the famous great Grandmaster.
Shen lang smiled but did not explain.
LAN Feng said, ” there is one thing that I must make clear to young master Shen. We, the eastern Warrior Regiment, have escaped from the great Yan Empire a long time ago. Our identities can not be exposed. We are the remnants of Emperor Jiang Li. Once you use us, you will offend the entire Great Yan Empire. Are you sure you still want to use us? ” Do you still dare to use us?”
As expected!
After Emperor Jiang Li’s sudden death, many people died, and some escaped. A small number of them fled overseas. LAN Feng’s Eastern Warrior Regiment was the Army of the great Qian Empire.
Shen lang shrugged his shoulders. general LAN-Feng, you’re too late. I have already offended the great Yan Empire.
“Alright, then I’ll spend the rest of my life with young master Shen.” General LAN Feng said. Queen Medusa saved our lives, and her will is our direction.”
..................
Shen lang stood on the deck and looked at the four ships.
This was his seed. After half a year in the Western world, he finally had an Army of his own.
Even though there were only 2000 of them, they were all elites and belonged to Shen lang alone.
Of course, this was still earned by living off a woman, but living off a woman was also a kind of strength, right?
The Black Pearl, Meng Roland, LAN Feng, and Zhang Chunhua were his team in the Western world.
It was worth it!
In the Western world, he had travelled tens of thousands of miles and rushed around for half a year to obtain these 2000 people. It was worth it!
The most difficult part of building a house was the foundation. Once the foundation was laid, the high-rise buildings would be ready in a few days.
I’m going to build my own city.
I’m going to start developing gunpowder, cannons, and a powerful Army.
..................
Shen Lang’s fleet kept heading east.
Along the way, they still met the fleet of the third xilun Empire, as well as countless grain ships.
However, Shen Lang’s fleet had the flag of a pirate, so they did not interfere with each other.
On the ten thousand li sea route, even though they had encountered some trouble along the way, they had all been frightening but not dangerous, and the Black Pearl had easily dealt with them.
It turned out that the law of Pirates on the sea was so useful. Other than abnormal people like Chou Yao ‘er, they rarely fought directly, and they would usually negotiate.
And to hell with it, they encountered many merchant ships along the way. They avoided them while sending gold coins according to the rules, indicating that they were not to Rob them.
If they encountered a larger group of Pirates, they would not start a war. The two sides communicated using flag signals, and the Black Pearl indicated that they were only passing by, and had no intention of occupying your sea authority.
Shen lang could not help but sigh. As the xilun dynasty fell apart, this Sea area became a pirate’s paradise. There were almost no natural enemies, and there was no official fleet to encircle and suppress them. As long as the Pirates did not invade each other’s Sea area, there would be no conflicts. They would even send food and wine.
The Queen City was more than 15000 miles away from Shen Lang’s destination, and he had to stop for supplies.
If it was anyone else, they would definitely be finished, but the Black Pearl was familiar with every pirate supply base. Every replenishment went smoothly, as long as they paid.
They had been sailing for a total of twenty-seven days.
Shen lang finally arrived at his destination, the southernmost tip of the blizzard Peninsula.
This place was close enough to saltpeter Island, and there were abandoned iron mines on the island. It was the most suitable place for Shen Lang’s base.
Of course, this place was too close to Jade Gold City, but this Duchess was still more than 10000 miles away. She was currently very ambitious and was preparing to build the Third Empire of xilun, preparing to completely destroy the witch Empire.
Therefore, Shen lang would have a few months of golden hair and would not have any enemies during this period.
From now on, this Island belongs to me, Shen lang.
“Land on the island and build the city!”
With Shen Lang’s order, the 2000 people got off the ship and boarded the southernmost tip of the blue Tide Peninsula.
At this point, master Lang’s great cause of development had officially entered the right stage!
............
Time flowed like water, time flew by.
The days of not being able to act tough quickly passed by, and a month and a half had passed.
...............
[ note: master Lang’s hegemony is finally on track. Please reward me with your monthly votes. I’m in urgent need of the passion and motivation to write my story! ]
Thank you, young master Jiang, for the 10000 Yuan tip.
