Hotel on the mountain

"Why does the empire expand? Essentially, it's because we need to feed more people. But our current territory is enough to feed these people. Our resources are completely self-sufficient. In addition, there are a large number of monsters and ancient dragons in the no-man's land. , we don’t need to expand.

Therefore, the New World is such a useless position. We have no idea about the distribution of monster forces there, and no people need to live in the New World. After all, it is definitely easier to carve out a territory from monsters in the Old World than in the New World. unless……"

"Then why do you want to go to the New World, brother Orhan?"

"Selena, you are always so impatient. You must learn to listen to others before speaking."

"Oh alright."

"Unless the New World has different resources that can bring us a lot of wealth and power."

"Brother Orhan, have you found this wealth?"

"No, Selina, I have found the power."

…

The April wind of 1801 brought a magnificent passenger ship. The shape of the ship is a bit like a yacht on Earth, but the difference is that it is larger enough to support ocean voyages. The stern of the ship is equipped with several jet holes. This design makes the ship very fast when moving at full speed, but it has shortcomings in emergency evasion. Jetro looked at this beautifully decorated ship, which was equipped with advanced psychic equipment, and felt a little wishful in his heart.

There were not many people who came to greet the royal family. There was only a luxurious four-carriage and a group of guards, and there were no people playing music. So much so that when Selina got off the ship, she had already given the New World a rather poor evaluation. Orhan did not comment on this. He warmly hugged Jetro who came to greet him, and said with greetings: "Long time no see."

"Yes, long time no see." Jetro led the way, "I was very surprised when the guard told me that a suspected royal vehicle appeared on the sea. Your arrival will definitely add color to the Alpine Hotel."

Orhan smiled and said, "I was also surprised. I thought you were still thinking about the old grudges from your childhood and would not be happy to see me, so I didn't let anyone notify you of the itinerary."

If it were the original Yetro standing here, he might really be unhappy.

Orhan Alexander was one of his childhood playmates, but he was the kind of person who was on the opposite side. He relied on his talents in all aspects to crush the original Jetro. He often led his own brothers to find Jetro's side. Trouble, such as snatching toys and cutting kites, often occurred, accompanied by beatings and insults, so Yuan Yetro dreamed of pushing him into a stinking ditch and kicking him.

As for Selina Alexander, she played close to Jetro's sister Pucilla when she was a child. Apart from playing house, they basically had no interaction with each other. But in his memory, the little girl pretending to be a mother with her baby in her arms turned out to be so beautiful that Jetro looked at her several times before looking away.

In the luxurious carriage, Jetro took out some pastries and black tea from the cabinet to spend his leisure time on the road. They opened the carriage windows so that the beautiful scenery along the road could shine into everyone's eyes. Selena is obviously very interested in seeing the scenery. When the carriage passes through a treeless plain, she will cheer because she sees the herbivorous dragon grazing peacefully there, and she will excitedly stick her head out and roar at the herbivorous dragon. With. In the end, it was his brother Orhan who gently pulled the hem of her clothes to stop her shouting in excitement, and smiled awkwardly at Jetro.

Jetro responded with a smile: "It's okay, I'm very happy that Her Highness Selina likes the style here."

Selena seemed to be aware of her sudden excitement, so she apologized awkwardly and began to sit down upright, but her big restless eyes still glanced outside from time to time - because she found Several little birds that had never been seen before landed on the back of the herbivore dragon, and they were chirping and jumping around, as if they were dancing.

"That's a Silky Crake. It's small, short, fat, and white. It likes to chat on the backs of some harmless monsters." Yetro handed over a cup of black tea and explained.

Selena took the black tea and thanked her before saying, "I've never seen these at home!"

"As a royal noble, Selena doesn't like to go out very much, so she hasn't seen these." Orhan also sipped black tea and said, "However, the scenery of the New World is indeed beautiful, and the Hebrew Empire has rarely been so pure. The natural environment usually has beautiful scenery but no living things, and is lush but lifeless.”

"I like to go out! It's just that you never let me go to the wild!" Selena retorted to her brother mercilessly. Jetro took over the topic at the right time and said, "I understand. If I had a sister, I wouldn't let her get close to danger."

"Yes, my family was willing to let her come over this time because I was with her. It seems that we have something in common." Orhan smiled.

Selena put one hand on the window sill and said unhappily: "It turns out that your common topic is based on the imprisonment of women."

Both Jetro and Orhan shrugged their shoulders and decided to skip this controversial topic, but there was still a long way to go before the carriage reached the hotel, so someone had to say something. Orhan said: "We Are you the first one among the invitees? "

"No, the psychic battleship sent by the military received other people before yesterday. They arrived very late. Now they are probably enjoying breakfast and visiting the hotel."

"Oh, we also wanted to visit early after receiving the invitation, but you know, as a member of the royal family, there are always many restrictions if we want to travel."

After hearing this, Jetro was a little confused. He looked up at Orhan and decided to express the doubt in his heart: "Your Highness Orhan, it is a great honor for me to have you here, but I remember that I was among the guests. Your name doesn’t seem to be on the list.”

Faced with this "impolite" question, Selina looked at Jetro in surprise, wondering how a social scene that had always been hypocritical could be mixed with some gunpowder.

Orhan's hand while sipping the black tea paused. His muscles did not relax, and his eyelids were stiff, so that his smile appeared to be superficial. But this expression only lasted for a short moment, and he began to relax again, fully displaying the self-cultivation of a noble, and replied with a smile: "It was invited by Duke Raya. You invited many people with your family, so, Duke Raya also wants me to come and see the New World.”

Seeing this, Jetro also smiled and apologized: "Forgive me, Your Highness Orhan, there was an attack here at the end of the year, and now everyone is still nervous."

"Attack?!" Selina decided to change the subject.

"Yes, an organization called the Dragon God Cult wants to steal some confidential documents."

"Terrible."

Selena was really amazed, but Orhan's expression - he had blond slightly curly hair, a round chin and a high bridge of nose, and his face was young, rosy and shiny. When he opened his mouth slightly and showed surprise, Jetro couldn't tell what was going on in his mind.

Boring but necessary polite words were exchanged in the carriage along the way. Fortunately, the distance between the hotel and the port was not thousands of miles away. Jetro could finally get to the hotel where "Alpine Hotel" was written on it. In front of the sign, two members of the royal family were invited to get off the carriage.

The north-facing slope has been paved with bluestone slabs, and wooden fences intertwined with plants have been erected on both sides of the slope. The red, white, and green woods that surround the mountain on three sides have turned their heads. We have reached the bottom of the mountain fort wall. If a painter stands on a high place and can see the looming spire of the mountain fort in the forest through the morning mist, he will depict the beautiful scenery along with the surrounding plains, lakes and hills. It has become a beautiful fairy tale insert.

Selena was like a baby bird released from a cage, looking curious and surprised by everything in front of her. She made no secret of her joy after being released, and ran up the slope with her long skirt slightly lifted. At this time, Sibinai Chiyo, who was sitting upside down on the back of a blue velociraptor, passed by.

She half-covered her eyes and looked at Selena, who was prancing happily, speechlessly, just like a proud rural lady looking at a city citizen who had never seen the world. The scene of the blue dragon walking lightly towards the gatehouse completely inspired Selina's joyful nature towards new and cute things.

"Ah! So cute!" She exclaimed, and stopped in front of the Blue Velociraptor with some fear but full of curiosity, wanting to reach out and touch the orange crown bone on the Blue Velociraptor's head.

Seeing this "dangerous" scene, Orhan hurriedly shouted: "Selena! Come back quickly!" The bodyguards surrounding him actually drew their swords, eager to step forward and kill the blue velociraptor. This sudden aggressiveness frightened the fruit Sibinet was nibbling out of her hands.

"It's okay!" Yetro shouted quickly. He really didn't understand what these people who were protecting the royal family would do, so he explained, "This is a tamed 'Blue Velociraptor' that can be ridden. But it’s best not to touch its mouth – it doesn’t know whether it’s food or petting yet.”

"Selena, don't touch. You are a member of the royal family and should learn to exercise restraint!" Orhan hurried over, leaving Jetro speechless for a while.

Selina was stopped by her brother repeatedly, so she had no choice but to give up. She drooped her mouth and watched sadly as Xibinai's eyes widened in fear and she patted the tail of the blue velociraptor and ran away.
