Start with an Archangel

On the way to find Shu Xiao, Daliang realized that he had no gift for meeting Admiral Joyce. This is a very rude thing for a female companion who is about to accompany him to a ceremony and go there empty-handed. It’s just that Daliang didn’t know what to give Joyce. After all, as Joyce’s identity, he should have everything, right?

So Daliang was going to ask Shu Xiao for advice. One of her women should know the preferences of a fellow woman.

After entering Shangjiang City, Shu Xiao jumped off the royal griffon with satisfaction and asked Daliang: "Master, if you need me to do anything, just ask me, even if you ask me to break into the East China Sea King's castle, I will do it."

"Why did I ask you to break into the East China Sea King's castle? I asked you to help me choose a gift?"

"Gift? To whom?"

Joyce's matter must not be told to Shu Xiao, so Daliang thought about it and said: "A woman, a woman with status and strength. In short, I need you to help me choose a gift. I don't need to make her very happy. , as long as it doesn’t make her angry.”

Daliang's meaning is very obvious, which is to choose a gift that can be said to be a past gift, a ceremonial thing. Joyce does not need to be ecstatic when seeing it, and his favorability will be doubled, as long as it does not arouse her disgust.

These few words changed the taste in Shu Xiao's ears.

It's broken. Master has two boats and he didn't step on them properly... the boat capsized. The date between him and Gu Tao must have been discovered today. "Positive" and "powerful" don't mean Xu Man, the deacon of the College Alliance, manages 25,000 members, and if it is expanded to more than 100,000 members. For such a strong woman to see her 'boyfriend' cheating on her, it's definitely not as simple as Hedong Lion Roar. Master must have wanted to give a gift to coax Xu Man this time. He also knew that he would not be forgiven easily by Xu Man. Therefore, the requirement of the gift was not to irritate her and make her more angry, but to slowly and attentively change her mind in the future.

I said that I originally agreed to give a gryphon as a gift, but it turned out to be a big gift. It turns out that the purpose of giving me two griffins and a royal griffin was to seal my mouth. Although I couldn't stand his behavior, I gave in after walking around in the sky. Let's help him this time.

So Shu Xiao, who thought he understood Daliang's thoughts, took him into a handicraft store.

"Originally, it is absolutely right to give women gifts and roses. But... in your situation, Master, I guess flowers won't solve the problem."

Of course roses can't solve the problem. Isn't this telling Joyce's husband-to-be, Prince William, that he is your "Pharaoh next door"? Wang Daliang curled his lips, nodded and said firmly: "That's right, you can't send flowers."

Seeing Daliang's strange expression, Shu Xiao was even more convinced of his guess: "Actually... women are all emotional animals, and their moods are easily affected by beautiful things. Since we can't send flowers, let's send music, a smooth song Soft music can easily make a woman calm. Once a woman becomes rational, everything can be easily discussed."

"Music? Is it so difficult for me to sing a song first when we meet?"

"Who asked you to sing?" Shu Xiao pointed to a beautiful small box in the store and said, "I asked you to give me a music box. I have been interested in this music box for a long time. It contains the serenade "Toselli" and the sound is particularly soft. , is very touching, and is my favorite song. It requires 100 gold, and I originally wanted to save up to buy it, but I couldn’t even save 20 gold.”

"100 gold! Is it so expensive?" Daliang picked up the music box. To be honest, the workmanship of this music box is indeed very exquisite. It looks like a small house. The carving is exquisite and round, and the paint is bright and soft. He opens the window of the small house and sings a song. The serenade of "ding ding dong dong" was played, and it was indeed very nice as Shu Xiao said.

Shu Xiao retorted: "Do you know what art is? This is purely handmade. The wood is spruce. This kind of wood can naturally resonate with sound. After processing, it can be made without distortion. Next, the music is perfectly amplified. When you listen to its sound, you can tell that all the articulators inside are made of brass, and the notes on the sound chip are very accurate, not missing even one frame. This is the work of a famous craftsman. A music box costs at least 30,000 yuan outside the game, but it only costs 100 gold here, so it’s really cheap.”

Da Liang's mind went crazy. Shu Xiao, who was still there tirelessly introducing the music box, said: "You also know that this is inside the game. This thing is a program from the inside out. Just download one piece of music and put it in it. This is just a lie to you kids. The things that girls pay for are made of spruce wood, handmade, and every frame is perfect. You are here to figure out so many details."

Shu Xiao suddenly realized: "Yes...it's because this game is too real. So do you want to buy it? The handicrafts here are very expensive."

"Buy..." Daliang realized that Shu Xiao was not very reliable, but the time was almost up and he couldn't afford to be picky. So Daliang took out 100 gold and bought the music box.

After leaving the handicraft store, Shu Xiao couldn't wait to jump on the back of the royal griffon and said to Daliang: "Master, if nothing happens, I will leave. However, I still have to advise you, just be alone..."

Just one? Da Liang looked at the music box in his hand. He didn't buy two of them either? What do you mean?

Daliang wanted to ask clearly, but Shu Xiao had already flown away.

Forget it, let’s hurry to the Fleet Admiral’s Mansion in Pudong.

Pudong Fleet Military Port, this is the second time Daliang has come here. Last time he was escorted here by the guards of Shangjiang City. This time Julian led the griffins and newly recruited soldiers to stand neatly at the entrance of the military camp. When they saw Da Liang falling from the sky, they all saluted him in unison.

The knight who went to Feichen Island to deliver the canonization letter was also standing here. After seeing Daliang, he said respectfully: "Hello, Baron Feichen. The Admiral is already waiting for you. Please come with me."

Da Liang and Julian walked into the military port together. At this time, there were many fewer warships in the military port than last time. The clouds of war had already shrouded here. Various barges unloaded large amounts of supplies at the dock, and artillery positions were placed one after another. Under construction. Everyone here is preparing for battle, even the knight leading the way is stiff and nervous.

Daliang made a brief assessment of Shangjiang City's military strength. It stands to reason that it has a level 14 main city as the backing, and has the military strength of 10 archangels and 20 angels. When Shangjiang City discovered that Chongming City owned the golden dragon without authorization and showed its rebelliousness, it should quickly attack Chongming City. Why does it seem like he is always on the defensive?

They were not confident that they would win this war. It seemed that Shangjiang City's military strength was not as strong as they showed.

"Sir Admiral, His Excellency Baron Feichen Daliang has arrived as requested. He is waiting outside the door..."

"Let him in."
