Chapter 146 What a cute owl, can I touch it?
There were no difficulties or obstacles in the rest of the journey. The group took the boat and arrived at Niu Fort smoothly.
The entire corpse of the dragonfly monster was put into the inventory by Lan, and he planned to dissect and clean it up at Cowburg. Although Lann did not find mutation-inducing substances in its corpse after tinkering, the chitinous carapace and various glands of insectoid creatures are also widely used materials in alchemy experiments.
At first, the attendants wanted to salvage the frozen fragments of the dragonfly monster that had sunk to the bottom of the river. They thought they were also the earl's property. Later, he was stopped by Lan, who was considerate of his subordinates. It was unnecessary. The river full of dead animals and human excrement is really not a place where people should stay.
Moreover, after the first dragonfly monster was frozen by the [North Wind], it was broken into pieces like that. After being polluted by the dirty river water, there are probably not many usable materials left.
Shani was very interested in the anatomy of dragonfly monsters, and Lan was a little worried that he would divert this little girl from being a medical student to other majors.
The transport ship slowly docked, and the people who had survived the disaster rushed into the port cheering, which attracted the attention of the people around them. How could these people be as excited as the sailors who had been drifting at sea for several months?
Then something caught their attention even more. A group of fully armed warriors came down from the transport ship, with five or six dwarves among them. The leader was a knight with dazzling blond hair.
Whose army is this?
The onlookers had a lot of questions today, or it could be said that there was something wrong with the ship.
But they soon learned that these were not questions they should think about, because there was already a group of fully armed Redanian soldiers on the shore to greet them, and their number was not inferior to the group of soldiers who had just got off the ship.
Want to start a fight?
Even though he knew that this was not a question that people like him should think about, doubts still kept popping up in the minds of the onlookers.
On the other side, Lann, who led the team down from the transport ship, quickly noticed the group of soldiers approaching. He never tried to hide his whereabouts. It was obvious that this group of soldiers had received the king's order long ago. Come and wait for your own.
This is a normal phenomenon, and cold treatment like Foltest's is rare.
Lann looked at this group of diplomatic teams. The person at the front of this group of Redanian soldiers was not a man dressed as a soldier.
This man was broad-shouldered, round-waisted, and tall. Lann is over 1.8 meters tall, which is six feet in northern measurement units. But the man in front of him was more than a head taller than Lan, definitely over two meters tall. No matter who sees it, they must say "hero".
But such a masculine looking man was wearing silk clothes with conspicuous colors, and seemed to be a nobleman; but his hair and beard were not well taken care of, and he only had a short stubble, which made him look very fierce.
At this moment, this man was clasping his hands in front of his chest in preparation. He looked like two sperm whales kowtowing to a great white whale. Combined with his hair color and skin color, he looked more like a pig that had just taken a bath. It was simply A bit funny.
But Lann knew that the fat man in front of him was neither a soldier nor a court noble, but engaged in a profession that could not be connected with his appearance in any way - a royal agent.
In other words, spies.
Sigismund Dijkstra, he is the leader of the Redanian Intelligence Organization. He may still be living in the shadows now, but Lann knows how powerful this man will be in the future.
After the death of the king of Redania, Dijkstra will become the actual leader of Redania. He is calm, courageous, extremely talented in intelligence, has a keen political sense and is far-sighted, and he also loves his country deeply. If he were a Sintraan, Lan would be happy to have this friend.
At this time, seeing Lann coming off the ship, the Redanian intelligence chief, who had already memorized Lann's appearance and clothing, immediately restrained his expression, and revealed a trace of a completely social expression on his fierce face. A polite smile.
"I dare to ask, but Lord Lannister is in person. I am Lord Dijkstra of Redania. His Majesty the King has ordered me to wait here for a long time." It's
hard to be able to make such a polite expression with such a face. It makes people feel abrupt and even comfortable. It is really a powerful expression management ability and a powerful acting skill.
"I am Lord Lannister of Cintra. I have kept you waiting for a long time."
After hearing Dijkstra's words, Lan also showed a calculating smile on his face. He responded to the other's words, expressing his long-standing admiration for the King of Redania and his great honor to be received.
Two warriors who can carry the cauldron can speak sweet words better than any politician at this moment.
Suddenly, there was a sound of flapping wings in the air, and a huge gray owl flapped its wings and flew over from the direction of the Cowburg and stood on Dijkstra's shoulder, staring directly at Lan.
Lan narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly laughed: "Is this your pet? What a great bird, what beautiful feathers. If possible, please allow me to touch it?" Earl Lion said seriously: "
I There is a good horse, and it is also very smart. I think we may have a lot of topics about raising animals..."
A look of extremely human shock suddenly appeared in the owl's eyes.
Dijkstra coughed lightly: " No, no, this is... His Majesty the King's 'distinguished guest'. "
The intelligence chief winked, as if he wanted to end Lan's interest in this owl.
Lan nodded and said clearly: "I didn't expect that His Majesty the King also has a hobby of raising birds of prey - 'distinguished guest'? I understand, its status in the court must be higher than that of ordinary nobles. Dijkstra
coughed twice and could only say: "It's a long journey, and you must be tired. The warriors of Sintra have also arranged their accommodation. Please come with me." "
When the king of Redania came to the Cow Castle, he naturally lived in the largest place in the college. In order to facilitate the reception, the group was also arranged to live in the Cow Castle. The Cow Castle is known as the "Precious Jade of the North.
" "Cradle City", the entire city exists to serve Cowburg College, this is a miracle city full of color, full of noise, full of sweet fragrance. The main body of the town is composed of narrow streets and colorful wooden pointed roofs , every aspect of the city relies on the college and its teachers and students, on the scientific knowledge of the college and the partners and guests generated by the research.
Although the professors and mentors of Cowburg have mastered a set of methods to create business profits from theory and practice, There is still a long way to go before complete self-sufficiency, so academic research and education here still require a staggering amount of investment, the most important of which is King Vizmir II of Redania. This
makes Although Cowburg has the legal privilege of not being involved in politics and not belonging to any country, it is still nominally subordinate to Redania - not to mention that even their land is Redania's territory. At this point
, Lann admired Vizmir II's broad-mindedness. He understood the importance of education and high-end talents very well.
At this time, Vizmir II was receiving a financial report from Dean Niu Bao, which was probably about funding applications. The king will have no schedule in about two hours, so he can arrange for Lann to visit.
And this time is just enough for Lann to take a bath, change clothes, and be etiquette.
Milva's eyes sparkled.
Shani also happens to need to leave Lan En's team to register as a new student. She will spend the next few years in Niubu. Although Lan is very envious of this gold card, he still has to wait until the other party has fully grown up.
I believe that these few days of getting along have left enough first impressions. If we keep in touch in the future, and if I use my national-level financial capabilities to support her dream, this girl will not be able to escape.
Now that he was idle, Lan took the initiative to find the receptionist at Cowburg and asked: "Is there any free biological dissection room or something like this? I have a relatively rare biological specimen that needs to be processed." These
words It was obviously referring to the corpse of the dragonfly monster, and Shani's eyes suddenly lit up: "Mr. Lannister?"
Lann smiled: "Just think of it as a parting gift to you."
A new medical student may not be qualified to use it. Anatomy room. Lann's status as an earl when he was away from home was not easy to use in Niubong, but with his status as a guest of Vizmir II, even Niubong had to give him some face.
Lan sent his attendants to dispose of the body of the dragonfly monster with Shani. The experienced Zoltan came over to help teach the attendants the skills of decomposing such a large monster when he was bored. The attendants are also happy to learn it, after all, they will use it frequently in the foreseeable future.
When Lan returned to his room, Milva had already put in the hot water. Before setting off from Blochlon, she asked Lan's personal valet Hardy for advice on the usual procedures for bathing and dressing Lan. She even prepared Several small bottles of sesame oil, waiting for now!
Looking at Milva who was full of expectations, one thing she said was actually right: she was the only girl in the team, who else could do this kind of thing besides her?
To refuse such a thing would seem to be too harsh on the attendant.
Half an hour later.
Lan looked in the mirror and looked at his slightly red shoulders, chest and abdomen, with a complicated expression.
Milva lowered her head with an expression of self-blame: "I'm sorry, Lord Earl, please punish me... This is my first time and I have no experience, so I can't control my strength well." She held a bathtub in her
hand The soft-bristled brush used: "Hardy clearly said that this will be very comfortable. Maybe if I do it a few more times and become more familiar with it, it will feel much better..."
Lann sighed slightly, thanks to his strengthened body , a real aristocrat with fine skin and tender flesh, now his body is not as simple as redness, but oozing blood.
"I'll do it myself."
