This was the first time that Shen Lang had touched Queen Medusa.
His entire body was cold, like ice.
"Why is it like this?" Shen Lang asked.
Queen Medusa said, "Because this body is too weak."
Was this body still weak? It was the strongest that Shen Lang had ever seen.
"Of course, your Chou Yao 'er is already very strong." Queen Medusa said, "But 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 exchange energy with nature, the sun, and the entire world all the time. As long as we are awake and alive, even every minute and every second of beauty will consume a huge amount of energy. "
Shen Lang understood.
This was probably like a car that had the entire engine system of a Bugatti Veyron installed on a car in the early 20th century. Even if it could be driven, it could be driven very fast, reaching 200 to 300 kilometers per hour.
But every time it was driven for half an hour at most, it had to stop and undergo major maintenance. Otherwise, the entire car would be scrapped.
Therefore, this car could only be parked in the garage most of the time. If it was driven too many times, the car would fall apart.
Chou Yao 'er's body was already very strong, but it was still not enough for Queen Medusa.
Therefore, she had been sleeping most of the time for the past few years. Otherwise, even if she was awake and didn't move, it would consume a lot of energy and overdraft the vitality of this body.
It was the same for Yaoyao, and because she was too young, her body was even more fragile.
"In fact, if I want to live, I have to enter a complete sleep. This way, the energy consumption of my body can be reduced to the minimum." Queen Medusa said, "But I always need to wake up."
Yes, she had to wake up every time because there were too many people who needed her protection.
Shen Lang said, "Actually, these people have nothing to do with you. Protecting them is Chou Yao 'er's responsibility."
Queen Medusa said, "But now that Chou Yao 'er and I are one, it is my responsibility."
Chou Yao 'er wanted to be a complete hero, to travel the world freely and unrestrained.
But people couldn't have absolute freedom. When she was in the Furious Tide City, she was tied down by Chou Tianwei's nurturing, and now she was tied down by the people he protected.
She was too loving.
Queen Medusa smiled. "Your Excellency Shen Lang, before you came to Queen City, did you want to see Chou Yao 'er or Medusa?"
Shen Lang was silent for a long time. "Chou Yao 'er."
This was his heartfelt words. Although Queen Medusa was more beautiful and powerful, she looked too perfect, too distant, and too unreal.
And Chou Yao 'er was filled with a strong personality. Even though many years had passed, Shen Lang still could not forget her.
Medusa smiled. "Don." Medusa Chou Yao 'King City, I will give her to you before.
Shen Lang. "King Qiu Medusa Said," You.
Queen Medusa said, "She can see, hear, and feel. However, I've already lost control of my body. It's not because I'm too domineering, but purely in terms of soul power, we're just too powerful. "
Shen Lang said, "So at least the person I am talking to now is the complete Queen Medusa."
Queen Medusa said, "Yes! When I die, I will be the complete Chou Yao 'er. "
Shen Lang asked, "Did you possess Chou Yao 'Er?"
Medusa shook her head. "No, it's the opposite. Chou Yao 'Er broke into my world and woke me up."
This sounded like a fantasy, and no one could understand it. But Shen Lang thought of himself. His soul came from Earth, but his body was the Shen Lang of this world.
Medusa said, "Do you mind if I talk to you while lying down? This way, my energy consumption is minimal. Even standing now consumes too much vitality. "
Shen Lang helped Medusa lie down.
"However, as you can see, I can't die. In order to protect Yaoyao and many innocent people, I can't die. That's why I've been sleeping most of the time." Queen Medusa said, "Now, you've finally arrived."
Shen Lang said, "With all due respect, this new world belongs to the Xilun Dynasty. Neither you nor I are outsiders. So we can't protect the city-states of the Witch Empire, and we can't even protect Duke Hall. My goal is to return to the Great Yan Empire for revenge. I'm not interested in anything in the Western world. "
Medusa said, "I know that when I die, I won't be able to protect the Queen City, nor the city-states of the Witch Empire, nor the countless liberated slaves. The East belongs to the East, and the West belongs to the West. "
That was true, and Duke Debus had always said so.
Medusa said, "You're the human emperor of the East, and I'm an outsider. We can't be the emperor of the new world, but there's one person who can."
Shen Lang asked, "Who?"
Medusa said, "What do you think of the creator of this Queen City?"
Shen Lang said, "The second empress of the Xilun Empire? She's a genius, an absolute artistic genius, but she's been dead for a hundred years. "
Medusa said, "Yes, but she has a great-great-granddaughter. She's qualified to inherit the throne of the Xilun Dynasty."
Shen Lang said, "So what? She has nothing to do with us. I'm not interested in the fight for the throne of the Xilun Dynasty. "
Medusa said, "What if she's your half-sister?"
"Ah … uh …"
Shen Lang was speechless.
Medusa said, "I'm just guessing. You should have seen part of the history of the Xilun Dynasty. After Queen Helen ascended the throne, she was opposed by the nobles in the north, so she moved the capital south and built the Queen City. It was from then on that the south of the Xilun Dynasty developed vigorously. At that time, in order to develop the south of the empire, Queen Helen announced the abolition of slavery on a large scale, liberated countless slaves in the south, and even promoted many natives of the Vader Race to become officials of the Xilun Empire. "
This was something Shen Lang didn't know at all. He didn't see it in all the history books of the Xilun Dynasty. However, this was normal. Although Queen Helen was recognized by everyone and no one rebelled during her reign, most of the nobles in the Xilun Dynasty secretly opposed her policies.
So the destruction of the second Xilun Empire was sown during Queen Helen's reign.
She didn't do anything wrong, but it caused the north and south of the empire to split.
"After Queen Helen of the second Xilun Empire died, her son inherited the throne and returned to the Xilun Imperial Capital. Queen Helen's daughter stayed in the Queen City and became a princess of the empire. "
Shen Lang said, "In other words, the daughter and granddaughter of Queen Helen who really ruled the Queen City?"
Queen Medusa said, "That's right. The Hall family has been loyal to Queen Helen for generations."
Shen Lang said, "Please continue."
Queen Medusa said, "Forty years ago, the ruler of the Queen City was Queen Helen's great-granddaughter, Princess Shelley. She was the most talented woman in the entire Xilun Dynasty at that time and was known as the Pearl of Xilun. She had great wisdom and didn't get married until she was in her thirties. This made countless nobles in the Xilun Dynasty sad. But suddenly, she disappeared for a period of time. When she appeared again, she had already given birth to a daughter named Helen, the same name as her great-grandmother Queen Helen. "
Shen Lang said, "You mean that this Princess Helen was born from His Majesty Jiang Li and Princess Shelley?"
Queen Medusa said, "The palace of the Queen City is an absolute female palace, especially the palace mausoleum. Even the husband of the Princess can't enter. But there is a lot of evidence of His Majesty Jiang Li's existence inside, so there is reason to suspect that His Majesty Jiang Li stayed here for a long time. And after this Princess Helen was born, she seemed to be of mixed blood with oriental characteristics. "
Shen Lang said, "She has oriental blood in her. It's impossible for her to become the Queen of the third Xilun Empire, right?"
Queen Medusa said, "The entire south will support him, especially the indigenous people of the Quidah Race. The Xilun Dynasty is now divided and needs a queen who can accommodate all races. And her mixed blood can become a symbol of the Xilun Dynasty's open-mindedness and the coexistence of all races. "
Shen Lang said, "Then what about this Princess Helen?"
Queen Medusa said, "She is a crazy adventurer. She left the Queen City when she was only 16 years old and has not returned since. It has been 17 years."
Shen Lang said, "If she is still alive, she would be 33 years old this year?"
Queen Medusa said, "If she appears, the entire south of the Xilun Dynasty will have a true person to be loyal to. And once she can become the Queen of the third Xilun Empire, she will undoubtedly be your absolute ally, because the two of you are likely to be biological siblings. "
… …
"Alright, let's not talk about this Princess Helen of the Xilun Dynasty for now." Shen Lang said, "Your Majesty, how much time do you have left?"
Queen Medusa said, "If she stays in the underground mausoleum of the palace and sleeps most of the time, then I still have a year."
A year?
"Please don't worry. When I am about to die, I will not drag Qiu Yao'er down with me. I will return her to you."
Shen Lang said, "In other words, within this year, you can't leave the Queen City, not even half a step out of the palace mausoleum?"
Queen Medusa said, "Yes, Yaoyao can't leave either."
Shen Lang said, "Then after a year, what about Yaoyao?"
Queen Medusa said, "Before I die, I will not only return Qiu Yao'er to you. I will also give everything I have left to Yaoyao. At the cost of my life, I might be able to extend her life by a few years. The rest will depend on you. As a mother, I have tried my best. The responsibility of protecting Yaoyao will be handed over to you as a father. "
Then she looked at Shen Lang and said, "Actually, if I commit suicide now, I can return Qiu Yao'er to you."
Shen Lang shook his head.
Queen Medusa could not die now. Once she died, the Queen City would fall and no one would protect Yaoyao.
Because as a father, Shen Lang, he was not strong enough.
Queen Medusa said, "Your Excellency Shen Lang, so your time is very tight. Within a year, you must become strong and have the ability to protect Yaoyao. You must have the ability to protect everyone. Right now, the eyes of the Third Empire of Xilun are on me, on the Queen City. As long as I am alive, this city will not fall. This is the golden time for you to develop. Your greatest enemy, Duke Debus, is also being held back here by me. There is no time to pay attention to your existence. "
Shen Lang said, "How many people can I take away at most?"
Queen Medusa said, "In the battle with Duke Russell, our army suffered heavy casualties. I was asleep most of the time, so we need a certain number of troops to defend the Queen City. So you can take away at most 2000 people."
"Enough, it's enough." Shen Lang said, "I want to take away 500 Roland Knights, 1000 Black Pearl Pirates, and 500 Eastern Knights."
The Queen said, "Okay."
Shen Lang said, "Your Majesty, I also need a group of intelligent people."
Queen Medusa said, "I have captured a few hundred scholars and apprentices of the Sky-sea Pavilion. They are very smart."
Shen Lang said, "The Sky-sea Pavilion is my enemy. Are they loyal enough?"
Queen Medusa said, "Not enough, especially the older scholars. The Sky-sea Pavilion has left a deep impression on them. But some of the younger apprentices should be able to be reformed. They may not have that much wisdom and knowledge, but at least they have not been completely brainwashed by the Sky-sea Pavilion."
In fact, for Shen Lang, a group of wise people was the most important.
Because next, Shen Lang would have to invent new things on a large scale. If he wanted to train talents from scratch, who knew how long it would take. Of course, he could directly capture a large number of alchemists, but their loyalty was questionable.
Those who were not of the same race must have different intentions.
… …
Shen Lang found Zhang Chunhua.
"Chunhua, I'm leaving," Shen Lang said.
Zhang Chunhua was stunned, "So soon?"
Shen Lang said, "The situation is more urgent than I thought."
Then, he asked, "Are you willing to go with me?"
Zhang Chunhua said, "Go with you? Leave Her Majesty? "
Shen Lang said, "Yes."
Zhang Chunhua said, "Why would I go with you? Sleep with you? "
Shen Lang said, "Be my strategist, be my female manager."
Zhang Chunhua hesitated.
Shen Lang did not say that the Queen only had a year to live, nor did he say that the Queen had pinned her hopes on Shen Lang.
"Shen Lang, you will fight your way back to the Great Yan Empire, right?" Zhang Chunhua asked.
Shen Lang said, "Yes."
"Then I will follow you," Zhang Chunhua said, "but let me say this in advance, I am not just a plaything to accompany you to bed."
Shen Lang said, "Just wait until you vomit blood from exhaustion."
Zhang Chunhua said, "Vomit both from top to bottom?"
Huh?
Shen Lang said, "Miss Zhang Chunhua, you are the daughter of the eunuch, the daughter of the scholar-officials of the Eastern Dynasty. In overseas countries, your every word and action represents the dignity of your people and country, so please pay attention to your speech and your image. Most importantly, the person standing in front of you may be one of the three great emperors of the world, so you must maintain your dignity. Moreover, your words are not precise enough, it should be spitting on top and splashing on bottom. "
Zhang Chunhua said, "These years have been too much of a torment, I hope I still have blood to shed."
No, I can't stand it, this talented woman is too dirty.
"Zhang Chunhua, are the scholars from the Sky-sea Pavilion who were captured with you trustworthy?" Shen Lang asked.
"Not worth it." Zhang Chunhua said, "Even if they go to the ends of the world, their minds are still loyal to the Sky-sea Pavilion."
Shen Lang said, "I need to use some smart people. Next, we will be researching all kinds of new weapons together, weapons that are at the trump card level. I need a team that is absolutely trustworthy, can you choose a few for me? "
Zhang Chunhua said, "There is no one who is absolutely trustworthy, unless you give them more value than the Sky-sea Pavilion gives them. Only young apprentices have room for improvement, I can find you thirty or forty people like this. "
At that time, Queen Medusa had captured hundreds of people, but Shen Lang could only take these few people away.
The key was that they had been on the run for many years, tens of thousands of miles away from the Eastern world, the brainwashing ability of the Sky-sea Pavilion was really strong.
… …
Baby Yao Yao was very happy.
Because at this time, her parents were by her side. She had been sleeping most of the time since she was young, and even when she woke up, her mother was not by her side.
Shen Lang hugged her soft little body and told her a fairy tale.
Yao Yao listened very seriously, as if she wanted to engrave every word in her mind.
After telling the story, Yao Yao was a little tired.
She wanted to sleep, otherwise she would hurt her body, she was really too fragile.
Shen Lang hugged her a little harder, she was really Papa's Snow White.
"This is a toy that Papa made for you, of course, it is too simple for our baby Yao Yao," Shen Lang said softly.
Then, he put a toy in Yao Yao's hand.
This was a third-order Rubik's Cube, made by Shen Lang overnight, a very special Rubik's Cube.
There were a total of six sides, the first side was Papa Shen Lang, the second side was Mama Medusa, the third side was Baby Yao Yao, the fourth side was Baby Shen Mi, the fifth side was Baby Shen Ye, and the sixth side was Baby Shen Li.
Shen Lang's drawing was very detailed, and every side of the drawing was very lifelike.
After the Rubik's Cube was completely messed up, these people's faces were all messed up, and they needed to be pieced together again in order to recover.
"Baby, try it." Shen Lang said.
Yao Yao took the Rubik's Cube and looked at the completely messed up Rubik's Cube.
Then, she started to twist the Rubik's Cube.
In just half a minute, the Rubik's Cube was restored, and all six sides were pieced together.
Shen Lang was stunned once again. Is this my daughter? Baby, you are much smarter than Papa.
He didn't tell her any formulas, nor did he tell her any chants. The little lass just took a look and understood it.
She couldn't even be described as a genius.
"Our baby is just too smart, the smartest and most beautiful princess in the world." Shen Lang gave a thumbs up, "In the future, when Little Brother and Sister see Yao Yao, I wonder how much they will worship you."
Yao Yao was a little proud and shy. She hid in her Papa's arms, and her big eyes were filled with happiness, as sweet as honey.
"Baby, Papa will come and pick you up within a year, okay?" Shen Lang said softly, "At that time, Yao Yao and Papa won't be separated, okay?"
Yao Yao stared at Shen Lang with her eyes wide open. She didn't cry, but nodded seriously.
Her body was very weak, but her will was very strong.
Shen Lang pulled her into his arms once again and held back his tears.
"Baby, Papa must do what I promised you. Within a year, Papa will crawl to you even if I have to crawl."
"I, Shen Lang, have let down a lot of people, but I will never let down my baby Yao Yao."
Shen Lang swore again and again in his heart, and then he said softly, "Okay, baby, sleep."
Yao Yao closed her eyes obediently and quickly fell asleep. Her little hands were still hugging the Rubik's Cube, unwilling to let go.
Shen Lang hugged her until midnight, and finally put her on the bed reluctantly.
"Baby, Papa has left, but he will come and pick you up soon."
He walked out of Yao Yao's dust-free room.
"Anyone who is strong will be melted at some point," Queen Medusa said, "So humans are really weak."
Shen Lang said, "This is what it means to be human."
Queen Medusa said, "I have also become weak."
Then she looked at Shen Lang and said, "Then goodbye, future emperor. When you come back, I will return Chou Yao Er to you. "
With that, Queen Medusa turned around and left, walking slowly into the underground tomb of the palace.
Shen Lang felt that his heart had once again crumbled a little.
Could this be the last time he would see Queen Medusa's back? Her beauty was so tempting that it was unreal.
Between Chou Yao Er and Queen Medusa, could only one exist in this world?
… …
Two hours later!
Shen Lang left the Queen's City and led 2,000 people towards the sea in the east under the cover of the night.
After two whole days, 2,000 people arrived at the seaside.
This area of the sea was very remote and full of submerged reefs, so the fleet of the Third Xilun Empire would not patrol here.
After waiting for three hours.
Four pirate ships appeared in this dangerous area of the sea.
The person steering the ship was an absolute expert, and could avoid all the submerged reefs.
Shen Lang and his two thousand men soundlessly boarded the four pirate ships. After that, they cautiously and cautiously sailed away from this part of the sea, heading east for three hundred miles, then south, and finally west in the direction of Saltpeter Island.
From start to finish, Shen Lang did not say anything, nor did he say any heroic words.
He silently left the Queen's City, boarded the four ships, and sailed towards an unknown distance.
Perhaps it was not a distant place.
For Shen Lang, the place he wanted to go was closer to the Great Yan Empire.
Shen Lang stood on the deck and looked at the vast sea.
A person stood beside him quietly without saying a word.
Black Pearl? The leader of the pirates? She actually followed Shen Lang here?
"I am a member of the Skull Pirates. When they left, I was still very young." Black Pearl said: "Our Skull Pirates once ran amok in the entire world, everyone lay dormant under our blade, whether it was a duke or a prince, they all begged for our protection."
"There was not a day that I did not think about finding them, finding my parents, and finding my Skull Pirates. Her Majesty the Queen promised me that even if she could not help me find the Skull Pirates, she would get someone to help me. Then you appeared, can you find the Skull Pirates? "
Black Pearl looked at Shen Lang and asked.
Shen Lang: "As long as they are still alive, I can find them."
Black Pearl said: "Then I will serve you."
… … …
"We are the people abandoned by the Amazon Empire, we are a disgrace. We desperately fight to tell the Amazon Empire that a person's strength does not only depend on their body, but also their will."
Five hundred Roland Knights followed Shen Lang to open up a new city, led by a person called Meng Roland.
Meng is her first name, Roland is her surname. She was also a powerful female performer, second only to Violet.
"Queen Medusa saved our entire race, so we will obey any of her orders." Meng Roland said: "No matter where you want us to go, who we fight with, we will not retreat. We only have one request for you."
Shen Lang: "Please speak."
Meng Roland said: "If we die, please sprinkle our ashes on the Amazon Empire's sea. We can't return to our country when we are alive, and we can't enter when we die, but at least we can be closer to our ancestors. "
Shen Lang looked at the tall woman, then nodded seriously.
And he was very sad. Because the Roland Clan was not strong enough, they were exiled by the Amazon Empire, which brought unprecedented trauma to their hearts.
During the battle with Duke Russell in the Queen's City, Shen Lang found that the Roland Knights were abnormally brave, almost full of the feeling of martyrs. Not only were they not afraid of death, but they seemed to be pursuing death.
It was as if only by dying on the battlefield could they prove that they were Amazon 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 Lendo?" Shen Lang asked.
Lan Feng was startled and said: "Yes, but I fell out with him."
Shen Lang did not ask why he fell out with Lendo, but it must be because of the difference in ideals.
Shen Lang said, "Grandmaster Blueway is a very good friend of mine."
Lan Feng said: "He has friends all over the world. Don't be fooled by his enthusiasm, Shen. Maybe he has countless good friends like you."
Lan Feng's words were full of mockery. He should have left the Great Yan Empire a long time ago, so he thought that Lendo was the famous Grandmaster with disciples all over the world.
Shen Lang smiled and did not explain.
Lan Feng said, "There is one thing that I have to make clear to Young Master Shen. Our Eastern Samurai Troop escaped from the Great Yan Dynasty a long time ago. Our identities cannot be exposed to the public. 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 His Majesty Jiang Li's sudden death, many people died, and some escaped. Only a small portion of them escaped to the sea. Lan Feng's Eastern Knights were all soldiers of the Great Qian Empire.
Shen Lang shrugged his shoulders and said: "General Lan Feng, you are too late. I have already completely offended the Great Yan Empire."
General Lan Feng said: "Alright, then I will follow Shen for the rest of my life. 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 wasting half a year in the Western world, he finally had an army of his own.
Although there were only two thousand of them, they were very elite. Moreover, they belonged to Shen Lang alone.
Of course, this was still obtained by living off a woman. However, living off a woman was also a form of strength, right?
Black Pearl, Meng Luolan, Lan Feng, and Zhang Chunhua were his four direct subordinates in the Western World.
It was worth it!
He had traveled tens of thousands of miles in the Western World and spent half a year to obtain these two thousand people. It was worth it!
The most difficult part of building a house was the foundation. Once the foundation was built, skyscrapers were just around the corner.
I am going to build a city that belongs to me.
I am going to start developing gunpowder and cannons.
… …
Shen Lang's fleet kept heading east, and then east.
Along the way, they continuously encountered the fleet of the Third Empire of Xilun and countless ships transporting grain.
However, Shen Lang's fleet was flying the flag of a pirate. Hence, they did not interfere with each other.
Although they encountered some trouble along the way, they were all daunting but not dangerous. Black Pearl easily dealt with them.
It turned out that the law of pirates on the sea was very useful. Other than a pervert like Chou Yao'er, it was rare to start a fight. Negotiation was the main method.
What's more, they encountered many merchant ships along the way. As they avoided them, they followed the rules and sent gold coins, indicating that they would not rob them.
Even if they encountered a larger group of pirates, they would not start a fight. Both sides used flag language to communicate. Black Pearl indicated that they were just passing by and had no intention of invading their sea rights.
Shen Lang could not help but sigh. With the fragmentation of the Xilun Empire, this sea was simply a paradise for pirates. There were almost no natural enemies and no official fleet to encircle and suppress them. As long as the pirates did not invade each other's sea territory, there would be no conflict. The other party would even send food and wine.
Queen City was more than fifteen thousand miles away from Shen Lang's destination. They needed to stop for supplies.
If it were anyone else, they would definitely be finished. However, Black Pearl was very familiar with every pirate supply base. Every supply run was smooth as long as they paid.
They sailed for a full twenty-seven days.
Shen Lang finally reached his destination, the southernmost tip of the Jade Tide Peninsula.
This place was close enough to Saltpeter Island, and there was an abandoned iron mine on the island. It was the most suitable base for Shen Lang.
Of course, this place was too close to Duchess Deborah's Bi Jin City. However, the Duchess was more than ten thousand miles away. She was now ambitiously preparing to build the third Xilun Empire and completely destroy the Witch Empire.
Therefore, Shen Lang had a few months of golden development period. During this period, there would not be any enemies.
From today onwards, this peninsula belongs to me, Shen Lang.
"Land on the island, build a city!"
At Shen Lang's command, more than two thousand people disembarked from the ship and boarded the southernmost tip of the Jade Tide Peninsula.
At this point, Master Lang's great development was officially on the right track!
…
Time flowed like water, and the years flew by.
The days of not being able to show off flew by quickly. Fifty days had passed.
… …
Note: Master Lang's great development is finally on the right track. Dear Benefactor, please help me with your monthly tickets, please!
Thank you, Young Master Jiang, for your 10,000 coins.
