Zhu Shiliu
Chapter 227 This Nation Seems to Be in Trouble
The capital of the Bai Xue Kingdom was far from what Lin Mo had imagined, likely due to the constant warfare. Where were the beautiful Gothic spires?
Instead, there were piles of dung by the roadside, begging children, and withered woodcutters.
Lin Mo stared at Hawke with a questioning gaze for a while, only looking away when the old man's face turned so red he couldn't bear it any longer.
"Looks like the kingdom is really poor. I was hoping for something good to eat."
Actually, Lin Mo didn't care about being the empress of these people, but she mainly wanted to try the formal state banquets of these countries. After all, if she went as an envoy to other countries as the empress, they would definitely hold a banquet in her honor, right? Waka waka! Food from another world!
Listening to their new empress's words, Hawke's heart was also bitter. There was nothing he could do. The country had no money, and the only mineral resources had to be sold to the great empires at low prices. It was a miracle that the Bai Xue Kingdom had survived until now under such circumstances.
"Your Majesty, let us return to the palace first. The nobles are all eager to meet you."
"Hmm? No, I want to eat first. Bring me the best things the country has to offer. What's with that expression? Don't tell me you don't even have a pantry? No way? No way?"
Hearing Lin Mo say this, Hawke's already withered face looked even worse.
"The royal family has nothing but military strength, so..."
"So, besides these soldiers with fear written all over their faces, I have nothing else, right?"
"Yes, although the country has military strength, most of these nobles are backed by the royal families of the great empires. We dare not use force against them. Or rather, the great empires sent these nobles here hoping we would use force."
After a while, Hawke didn't hear Lin Mo's response. He quietly raised his head and saw the girl tapping the armrest impatiently.
"Alright then, since that's the case, I'll go take a look. By the way, I think you also want this country to become better, right? So, pick out some people you think are decent. I will give them the power to kill all those nobles."
Hawke wanted to say something, but Lin Mo immediately interrupted him by raising her hand, "Don't tell me about the future. I'm not interested in that. Tonight is your chance. If you do well and I'm happy, maybe I'll give you a hand. Otherwise, I might just leave after experiencing being a king."
She was impolite and didn't care at all. After all, these so-called humans here had nothing to do with Lin Mo; they were complete strangers. Lin Mo would have the same attitude in any kingdom.
Lin Mo just had a whim to try what it felt like to be a king, but this country was really not suitable. This was not being a king at all; it was clearly more of a burden than a right. Lin Mo wanted a one-day experience card where power outweighed responsibility.
"...Yes, Your Majesty, I understand."
"Okay, go choose them. By the way, what is your strength in this continent?"
She was a little curious about what this world's so-called magic was. Kaka spoke very vaguely, and the soldiers knew very little about these top combat powers.
"I... am probably a nine-star mage. Above me are saint mages and demigods."
"Are there many?"
"There should be dozens of saint mages, and only three demigods, it seems."
"Hmm, what can they do? Destroy the heavens and earth, move mountains and seas?"
Seemingly shocked by Lin Mo's understanding, a gleam of light flashed across Hawke's dim eyes.
"No, demigods are still called demigods by the world. They can probably flatten a mountain with one blow and instantly incapacitate an army of ten thousand."
"That's not very strong. Okay, I have a general idea."
"Your Majesty, Kaka thinks there should be the knowledge you want in the minds of those nobles."
"That's true, then I must go."
But what did this have to do with her? She was just experiencing it for a while. If she hadn't been unable to get over that hurdle in her heart, she would have already let Zai Zai take action. However, this world was too weak, and it was a waste for Zai Zai to invade it. It was better to let herself have some fun.
Anyway, there were many lifeless planets, and they were suitable for Zai Zai to use as nourishment.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo suddenly felt no pressure.
"Xiao Bai, come here!"
Waving her hand, Xiao Bai was the name of that snow wolf. Lin Mo had just named it based on its appearance.
Damn it! I am the great Snow Wolf King! Don't call me by that cute and slightly disgusting name! I'm not going! Damn strong human! You are insulting me! Ahh! Damn it! When I get my power! I must give you a good bath! Let you experience the helplessness of being in the water!
"Long Ye, what's wrong with it?"
Xiao Bai kept trying to resist in Long Ye's hands, and its intelligent eyes were filled with a sense of "I'll remember this, you just wait."
"Your Majesty, Xiao Bai seems to be very dissatisfied with being bathed by this subordinate."
"Hmm... doesn't like taking baths?"
That's right! Human! I don't like taking baths! Haha! As expected of me, as long as I use my cuteness, I can handle even that little witch in the palace! That's right, hurry up and scold him! Damn guy, you scrubbed so hard back then! I almost thought you were killing a dog!
Lin Mo raised her hand and gently stroked Xiao Bai's fur. It was soft, but it didn't smell very good.
"Since it doesn't like taking baths, then let's drag it down and eat dog meat."
"Woof! -"
That's right! Just like that, wait! Human, what did you say! You have no heart! I'm so cute, how can you do it!
For a moment, the flipped-over belly froze, and the little hand placed on it clearly had no strength at all, but it didn't dare to move at all! That sentence seemed like a joke, no, it couldn't be! My dog hair has already stood on end in fright!
As long as this woman gave the order, that strong man would definitely drag himself out and chop him up immediately.
It's over! Could it be... that I'm going to die!
No, I have to seize the opportunity! I arch, Your Majesty, step on me! I'm a little cutie! I'm very, very clean!
It simply used the skills it had learned to snatch food as a child, and wriggled and ran to Lin Mo's feet, its tail sweeping back and forth, looking like it was very happy and wanted to be petted. Wuwuwu…
Life is not easy, a dog performs tricks.
Woman! Are you satisfied now! Haha! You are the first to be treated like this by this dog!
Wait! How are you holding back! Щ(゜ロ゜щ)
What are you looking at in your arms? Look at me! Look at me!
"Kaka, I didn't do anything."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I saw it!" (gritting her teeth)
Kaka didn't bring a single brainworm this time because she was afraid that some worm would compete with her for favor, but she didn't expect a dog to suddenly appear! With this shameless energy, it might really hook away the empress!
"However, Kaka, I'm giving you a difficult task."
"Hmm?" ヽ(゜Q。)ノ?
"See those two lychees? Take them apart!" (ಡwಡ)
(✪▽✪) "Really, Your Majesty?"
"That's right!"
What's going on? What are these two guys talking about? How come I don't understand? What lychees? Little…
But why do I have a feeling of coldness in my back? Hmm? Where are you looking! So embarrassing for a dog! I'm still a virgin dog! You can't look!
No! I'm not a dog! I'm a snow wolf! A noble Snow Wolf King!
