Chapter 149 Gold Rush

In view of the special circumstances during the epidemic, the award ceremony was kept simple. The King of Beli Kingdom and other members of the royal family did not show up, and only Princess Ketia presented the award on behalf of the royal family.

In fact, even with a different background, this is quite normal. It was originally a matter of Rochester's operation through Ketia's relationship. As long as it has this name, it doesn't matter whether the ceremony is simple or not.

The award ceremony was held in the side hall of the palace where foreign envoys are often received, and everyone wore uniform masks provided by the royal family.Black veneer design is embellished with poppies in red and outlined in gold for a chic look.

The etiquette when meeting has also been temporarily modified. There is neither handshaking or handcuffing, nor the traditional kissing ceremony or hand kissing ceremony.Make a fist with your right hand and touch the outside of your forearm, then retract your fist and lightly touch the heart to show mutual respect.

Before coming here, someone had reminded Hua Zhenxing that he wanted to understand the aristocratic etiquette here, but he didn't expect to change it when he said it on the spot.Hua Zhenxing met Princess Ketia herself for the first time, and felt more cordial than in the photos.

The princess's net height is estimated to be about 1.7 meters, and she is wearing a blue sleeveless tunic dress, which looks elegant and delicate without losing the youthful and beautiful femininity, and shows a good figure just right.

Except for a pair of white drop-shaped earrings, she didn't wear any jewelry, which was also in line with the purpose of this award ceremony to commend charity...Seeing her, Hua Zhenxing thought of Shire inexplicably.

Princess Ketia has been to Feso Port more than once, but it is impossible to go to the grocery store to buy things in person, and she has never had any intersection with Huazhenhang.

On the contrary, Ciel once had the opportunity to get in touch with Ketia at close range, and after he came back, he was confused, declaring that he had fallen madly in love with the princess, and became the most loyal warrior under the princess' skirt...

It was more than two years ago, when Shire was just full, Princess Ketia came to Port Fiso for vacation.

Of course, she also has official duties, such as inspecting international hospitals, visiting and aiding doctors, taking photos with impoverished children, giving charity speeches, etc. During this period, she also went hunting in the northern wilderness.

Hua Zhenxing has no prejudice against hunting. Human beings also lived a hunting life for millions of years before they learned to farm and nomad.The so-called environmental protection is a dynamic concept. If a population loses its natural enemies and overruns, it may even lead to ecological collapse.

For example, there are no ferocious beasts represented by lions on the grasslands, and the reproduction of bison is not restricted. It will soon eat up the grass in an area, and at the same time suppress the survival of other small herbivores in the area.

Then the cattle will fall into famine or even die on a large scale. Various plagues and diseases may also be prevalent, which will eventually lead to a sharp decline or even extinction of the population.

The existence of lions can not only control the number of cattle and protect natural pastures, but also eliminate the old, weak, sick and disabled in the cattle, and preserve a healthier and better genetic inheritance.

Interestingly, the size of the herd can also control the number of lions, because they are the lion's food.If there were no populations such as bison, lions would also be extinct, thus maintaining a delicate dynamic balance, which is the law of the natural jungle.

The so-called hunting activities are nothing more than human beings playing the role of lions and exercising the natural functions of lions, as long as they do not exceed the limits of natural rules, of course there is no aristocratic tradition.

As for cultivating courage and quality, it might still be meaningful in the era of cold weapons, but as for now...it's a bit of nonsense.

Of course, the law of the natural jungle does not apply to human civilized society. Although the two are very similar in many aspects, these similarities may not be justified and necessary at the same time. Human society has its own civilization ethics.

If someone insists that the law of the natural jungle is still followed within human society, it is a stealing concept.Human beings are the same species, it is impossible to be both a lion and a bison, and they feed on themselves. Logically, it cannot be justified.

The laws of nature are actually plain and simple. For lions, those who work hard get their lives, and for bison, those who work hard get their lives.And that's all, none of them have higher level requirements.

A lion is not nobler than another lion, or a bison, and there is no such notion in the laws of nature.

Some people also say that the so-called morality and the social consciousness it constructs are just a set of hypocritical clothes, and human beings who take off the clothes are still naked apes.

In fact, many people do not understand that it is precisely this layer of clothing that is the priceless treasure. With it, everything will come. Civilization begins with reflection, which leads to enlightenment. The really important question is what kind of clothing do we need?
The phenomenon of life and wisdom is a reaction against the principle of increasing entropy in nature.The emergence and development of civilized society is also a reaction against the law of the natural jungle, otherwise the existence of individuals and the relationship between individuals would be meaningless.

Some people say that "cultivation" is going against the sky, but in fact, the evolution of the "human world" is also a kind of going against the sky. In this desolate and dead universe...

All these were told to Xiaohua by the three elders at different times and in different ways. There are differences in their viewpoints or angles, but the core of their comprehension is almost the same.

When Hua Zhenxing saw Princess Ketia, he thought of Shire inexplicably, then thought of hunting, and then thought of how some old men in the family talked about practice and the world. This kind of thinking is quite divergent!
When Princess Ketia went hunting in Port Fiso, she not only had her own security team, but also a group of local guides and bodyguards.

Somebody has to do the service of leading the way, pitching camp, finding and driving game.Through the relationship of his uncle, Major Conu, Charles also joined the team and was able to get in close contact with Princess Ketia.

The local entourage is not allowed to carry guns and mobile phones, let alone take pictures on the spot.Charles was holding a spear at the time and was walking in front of the procession, still wearing the so-called traditional clothes.

The spears were also taken away during camping, and Princess Ketia unexpectedly came among them accompanied by her entourage, greeted them cordially, sat down beside Charles by the campfire, and asked Charles his name.

Charles was so nervous that he stuttered, and the princess smiled at him and said, "Thank you, my warrior!" Then she handed Charles food with her own hands, a piece of meat that was roasted just now and cut off by the princess with a knife.

Charles was so excited that he almost twitched, and when he came back, he was a little dazed, and he never left Princess Ketia with every word, claiming that the princess had already occupied his entire heart, and praised the princess as unparalleled in the world.

After seeing Ketia with his own eyes, Hua Zhenxing believed that some of what Shire said was true.For example, this princess is the most beautiful, charming, elegant, temperamental, cultivated, and charming girl Shire has ever seen.

Although the mask covers the mouth and nose, it adds a more mysterious beauty. The exposed eyebrows are bright and moving. This face, this figure, this dress, this breath... It can be called an excellent appearance, and the words and deeds are so decently displayed Show her charm.

In Charles's life, he has never seen a woman like Ketia, and it is impossible to come into contact with it. The local indigenous girls he sees in his neighborhood basically don't know a few words, and it is considered good if he can barely pay attention to personal hygiene. .

Shire's bewildered state lasted for more than a month, and he was cured later in the grocery store.

That day he came to Hua Zhenxing, and without saying a word, he began to talk about Princess Ketia's beauty, charm and kindness.At this time, old man Yang found a movie for Hua Zhenxing to watch, so Shire followed suit.

The movie tells the story of a tramp who went to the ice and snow to pan for gold and found a gold mine and became rich overnight.

At first, the tramp fell in love with a waitress. Having no food or clothing, he tried his best to prepare a dinner that was as sumptuous as possible in his opinion, and asked the waitress to have a meal together.

It turned out that the waitress completely forgot about the invitation, and also about him.The waitress also played tricks on the homeless man with a group of people, thinking it was very funny, this person was very funny, which made the homeless man sad.

When the tramp made a fortune and became a rich man and left by boat, he met the waitress who wanted to escape but was bullied, and rescued her, and then the two were happily together...

The surface structure of the story is extremely simple, but the acting is extremely brilliant.After reading it, in front of Shire, old man Yang asked Hua Zhenxing, "Can that waitress like a tramp?"

Hua Zhenxing replied honestly: "Of course she doesn't like it. The last thing she likes is the rich man. Before she got on the boat, she had forgotten about the tramp, but the tramp hasn't forgotten her yet."

Yang Tehong asked again: "Why do homeless men like waitresses so much?"

Xiaohua was still Xiaohua at that time, unable to answer such a profound question, so he had to ask, "What do you think?"

"A tramp without a belt or boots, the barmaid is the most beautiful fairy in his eyes. You should notice that at the beginning of the movie, the tramp was beaten in the pub, and the barmaid helped him with a handkerchief. He wiped the wound.

Although it was done casually, he had never felt such a trace of warmth in the world of ice and snow. At that moment, the waitress became all his beautiful yearning.

But he didn't know that the waitress didn't pay attention to him at all, and she forgot his invitation when she turned around. The world of homeless people was still that icy and snowy. "

Speaking of this, old man Yang suddenly changed his tone and raised his voice: "Charles, don't you feel like that tramp? The tramp who didn't find the gold mine, but was fascinated all day long!

Let me see what happened between you, she said "thank you" to you, and also said "my warrior", so you are really her warrior?
You ran across the steppe for days with a stick, leading her hunting party and rounding up prey, and she gave you a piece of roast meat, which she cut with a knife from a piece of meat you had roasted yourself and handed to you.

You can like her, but don't lose yourself.Can you invite her out to dinner?You know the answer, it's definitely not possible, even if you give everything and try your best.

That being the case, just go and date those girls you can date out, just pay attention to safety, why bother talking about it here!What is the purpose of you talking about the princess every day, this kind of thing is not worth showing off, do you understand? "

Charles was still a little confused at the time, but at least he understood two things. Even if he talked about Princess Ketia every day, it was impossible to ask her out, and the "relationship" between him and the princess was not worth showing off. staring state.

Hua Zhenxing also made a joke at the time: "There is no king in the country of Jili, and it is bigger than the country of Beli. In the future, when you become the president of the country of Jili...then make the country of Jili better than the country of Beli. You can ask her out!"

It was just a joke at the time, but Charles was amused.I'm afraid Charles would not dare to think about being the president of Jili State, and then make Jili State better than Belly State.

But this matter still had an impact on Charles's subconsciousness to some extent. Although he didn't dare to think about it when he became the president, maybe since then, his "ideal" to kill Jin Datou and replace him became more determined. Try to implement it.

Looking back now, it is not surprising how Charles felt about Princess Tia at the time.

As a member of a gangster, Shire lives in the chaotic and sinful Port Fiso neighborhood. He has never met or felt it. How can he not be fascinated by the glamor from an unattainable world.

Charles talked about Princess Ketia every day, not only because he was fascinated, but also to show off. He couldn't tell the difference, but old man Yang could see through.

Hua Zhenxing suddenly remembered what Old Man Yang had asked Shire back then, even if you have exhausted all your energy, can you ask her out for a meal together?
There will be a dinner after today's honor ceremony.Because the honoree is Her Royal Highness, the three honorees all brought their female companions, and Locke took Lianna, a female celebrity brought by Rothschild.

Hua Zhenxing originally wanted to bring Manman here, but old man Yang stopped him and said, "Don't let Manman go to such a place to learn bad things! And if you bring Manman there, it is tantamount to publicly exposing your identity, so let the Xiao Cui will go with you."

So Feng Zibin's female companion became Cui Wanhe, the director of the Propaganda Department of Huanxiang Industry.

Hua Zhenxing was thinking at this time, if possible, he should really bring Shire here. This is not asking the princess out for a meal, but being invited by the princess to her home for dinner. Unfortunately, he did not expect that Dr. Luo would arrange this outing what.

Hua Zhenxing's inner activities are so rich.Sir Mace, who was responsible for recommending and introducing him, frowned secretly. What happened to this upstart from the Eastern Kingdom?Seeing Her Royal Highness, she was actually distracted, who is this!
Saluting with Her Royal Highness, Feng Zibin seemed to be observing the princess's eyebrows, and then at her face and figure. He really is the legendary playboy!Are you insane in front of the charm of Her Highness the Princess?

But his eyes and movements were a little stagnant, and he didn't reveal any other meanings. No matter how dissolute and absurd a person is usually, it's impossible for him to be rude at this time.

He must have been so nervous and excited that his mind went blank for an instant, and Sir Mace could understand this feeling.

Hua Zhenxing was the first to go forward to salute the princess. Locke and Rochester were still waiting behind. Sir Mace was about to make a sound to remind her, but Princess Ketia spoke first: "My lord, are you thinking what?"

She didn't mind Hua Zhenxing's reaction in front of her at all, and her smile was even more gentle and charming.Hua Zhenxing hurriedly explained: "I once heard a friend mention you often, and seeing the princess herself today, I can't help but think of many things."
