Nissk was inseparable from water. The winding water alleys, the flowing clear waves, and the high and low stone bridges made the entire city seem like a young girl who was silently in love. Her eyes were filled with bone-deep gentleness.
The architecture, paintings, sculptures, and operas in this city had an extremely important position and influence in the Tulip Alliance and even the entire continent.
In addition, due to its unique geographical location, this place was also an important commercial city.
The residents lived a prosperous and peaceful life. Naturally, they had a spiritual outlook and artistic culture that other places did not have.
Today was the seventh day since the 'Storm Horn' arrived at Niske Water City.
Since they did not know when an attack would come, the soldiers were on edge all the time. The coastal patrol mission was divided into three groups. Six days was just enough time for a round trip from the border of the distant sea to the port.
Every time they arrived at the port, they could rest for a day to ensure the continuity of the patrol mission.
Knight Ambrose and his small team entered the Combined Mobile Force of the Six Nations. The Combined Mobile Force was mainly divided into two groups. One was stationed in the Golden Lion City, which was located in the middle of the river valley, and the other was in Brandenburg, the political capital of the Salt Lake County in the east.
Niske, Golden Lion City, and Brandenburg were the three largest and most important cities along the river valley. Naturally, they had the highest level of defense.
It was said that each city had a powerful Third Grade Extraordinaire overseeing it. Together with the Extraordinaire Force, it was enough to make the Octopus Ghost unable to return!
During this rare break time for the 'Storm Horn' to return to the port.
The soldiers seized the time to rest and resupply.
As this was the first time Elvin had left the country, he was thinking about something.
He did not call Milan, who was researching her innate magic, or Gary, who was making use of the time to improve his swordsmanship. Instead, he wandered around the beautiful city alone.
One should not belittle oneself, but one should not think of oneself as some destined savior.
Although the duration of this mission was still uncertain, Elvin didn't feel much pressure in his heart.
Being on the same side as the powerful Alliance, it was impossible to remain passive for long.
Even if Elvin did not mind, the higher-ups of the various nations could not afford to lose face because of a mere pirate.
It was said that the Alliance had sent out a hunting party led by a Great Knight to search for Huggins and his subordinates' hideout in the Black Sea.
On the bright side, perhaps the hunting squad had already returned with Huggins' 'octopus head' before the battle had even begun.
Tap … tap … tap …
Elvin was wearing a snow-white shirt, slim-fitting trousers, and round-toed leather shoes. Just like an ordinary tourist, he wandered in the unique scenery of Shui City.
Next to a small square that half extended into the water, Elvin stopped. Leaning against the stone railing, he looked at the "gentle" scenery in the distance, enjoying the rare moment of solitude.
Under the warm golden sunlight.
There were many stone bridges that connected the entire city, and tourists were passing by on boats along the clear waterways. Artists from all over the world who had come to study were performing in this place that was full of stages.
There was the best audience in the world here. Even a layman could clearly tell the level of the artists from the number of people around them.
When Elvin stopped to watch, he also saw the ordinary but colorful life of the ordinary people in this supernatural world.
At this time, someone was playing a musical instrument in the square.
The melodious sound of the violin attracted the passersby to stop. It was enough to show the superb skills of this artist.
Elvin was no exception.
Although Elvin did not know the name of this song, he could hear the rich emotions of the performer from it.
Using emotions to convey emotions, the emotions of the listeners were also inadvertently stirred. It was a deep "yearning" for their loved ones.
Involuntarily attracted, Elvin closed his eyes and listened carefully.
"White clouds in the blue sky, the free wind blows through the autumn fields, the aroma of ripe barley with the smell of the sun lingers on the tip of my nose …
It is the smell of my real hometown that lingers in my memory.
The smell of a long, long time ago …
A cute young girl with brown hair in a long dress hopped to his side like a happy deer. She opened her snow-white palm like she was showing off a treasure …
Caught off guard, he stuffed a green grape hidden in her palm into his mouth.
Ah, it's so sour!
The scene of him being humiliated caused the tall man and the kind old man not far away to laugh together.
The young girl, on the other hand, let out a tinkling laugh as she flew away … '
"Hehehe …"
The young girl's bell-like voice pierced through the memories and rang in Elvin's ears.
Elvin instantly opened his eyes and saw a smiling, beautiful but unfamiliar face in front of him.
Only then did he realize that the song had already ended. He was immersed in his memories and had been standing there for a long time.
"Musnie's' Meditation ', a great song, a great performer, isn't it? Here you go! "
Standing in front of Elvin was a young girl with light blonde hair and a violet dress. She reached out and handed over a snow-white square handkerchief.
Subconsciously taking it, Elvin realized that his eyes were a little blurry.
"Oh, thank, thank you!"
Gently wiping his eyes, Elvin was about to hand the square handkerchief back to the young girl when he saw her face clearly, but he was slightly stunned.
A picturesque face, long hair, the light fabric of the dress outlined her beautiful figure, and a pair of thin silver high heels on her feet made her figure even taller.
A light pink rose was inserted in the light-colored lady's gauze hat, the lace on the sleeves of the dress, and the bow on the shoes were all exquisite and elegant.
Standing there gracefully, she had a unique temperament that was different from ordinary people. Ethereal, elegant, and noble. The temperament that might be contradictory on others formed a harmonious unity on her.
Like an elf that jumped into the human world, she was clearly a beauty that could make people look at her with admiration!
Seeing Elvin staring at her in a daze, the young girl giggled. Her small hand lightly covered her pink lips, and her small action was indescribably elegant and moving.
"Sorry to interrupt your 'meditation', I'm Venia, can we be friends?"
Perhaps the beautiful girl named Venia was used to this kind of gaze, but she didn't care. Instead, she gracefully extended her white and slender right hand.
"Oh, okay, okay."
Elvin didn't bother to return the handkerchief, and slightly stiffly extended his right hand and gently shook the girl's hand.
"I'm Elvin, Elvin Garriott, nice to meet you!"
At this time, after taking a deep breath, Elvin finally recovered the calm of a Navy Captain and formally introduced himself to the girl.
"Oh, Mr. Garriott?"
A strange look flashed in the girl's eyes, but she concealed it very well.
At this time, the violinist had changed to a cheerful song, but it could no longer resonate with Elvin.
He just listened with an appreciative attitude. He leaned against the railing and chatted with his new friend.
During the conversation, Elvin learned that.
Although the Alliance language was very good, the girl was not from Tylo, nor was she from any member of the Tulip Alliance.
Now she was just studying in Niske Water City, and her dream was to become a great artist and scholar.
And Elvin only said that he was a soldier of Faletis, and that he was only in Tylo for a short period of time.
For other topics that didn't involve identity and origin, the two of them chatted very well.
From recent news to old stories, from the scenery of various countries to the political situation, from literature and art to the Red Maple Academy Alliance that gathered the continent's top universities.
Although Elvin hadn't been to many places, his horizons were broad, and he had a cheat that included half of the library.
He was able to chat with this new friend who had obviously been to many places, and every sentence he said hit the nail on the head, which made the girl raise her eyebrows.
When he spoke, he unknowingly became more serious. If it was just a casual conversation at the beginning, by the end, it was more like he was asking for advice.
The conversation reached its climax.
The girl's blue eyes that were as beautiful as the sky flashed with a hint of anticipation. She bit her lower lip and asked a question that she had not found a satisfactory answer to after traveling all over the continent.
"My hometown is on the other side of the sea. It's still very backward, far from the prosperity of this continent.
Hey, Elvin, can I ask you a question? "
"The other side of the sea?"
Inexplicably, Elvin had a very familiar feeling to this saying, but it was rude to be absent-minded in front of a lady.
He didn't think too much about it for the time being. He just smiled gently and said in a very gentlemanly manner, "No problem.
"No problem. You can ask as long as I can answer you."
"Thank you!
I have been to many places on the continent. In those civilized countries, I have seen neat clothes, exquisite food, magnificent art, ingenious buildings, great steam engines, powerful ships and cannons.
What I want to ask is, is this the reason why the civilized world can defeat the barbaric natives and continue to expand and colonize the entire explored world? "
The girl's gaze didn't have the normal thirst for knowledge of an artistic girl, but more like a worried sage worried about the future of her race.
Although it was a little strange, her appearance was clearly that of a typical mainlander, but she seemed to be asking this question from the perspective of a native.
However, Elvin himself wasn't a pure 'mainlander'. If not for the fact that all of his family and friends were here, in his heart, mainlanders and natives weren't fundamentally different.
Therefore, when he heard the girl's confusion, Elvin laughed heartily.
"Victory in colonization of the world? Hahaha, what's the difference between civilized and barbaric? There's only barbaric and even more barbaric! "
What culture, faith, and innate nobility, they were all just disguises made by the victors. The so-called colonization was nothing more than using valiant force to break through the gates of the backward nations and openly plunder and enslave them. From the economic, political, and cultural aspects, it was a process of full and actual occupation.
Everything the girl said was the truth, but the cause and effect were reversed!
