Start a core cabin

"So I think we shouldn't just copy it, but should have our own plans and ideas... How about it? Mr. Knight, I did a good job, didn't I?"

Walking on the streets of Manalia, An was also jumping excitedly, introducing her achievements to Duanmu Huai. Duanmu Huai walked beside An, looking at the buildings around him, and nodded in appreciation.

"Not bad, very good, great."

Ever since An and Duanmu Huai traveled together, especially after she saw the human near-future style city in the demon planet, An has been thinking about it and kept talking about introducing the ideas in it to Manalia. For this reason, An naturally returned to Manalia many times, but as a princess, she certainly didn't need to do everything herself, just make a plan and then hand it over to her subordinates.

Even the plan took An a lot of effort, especially after that, she followed Duanmu Huai to the war planet, the Star Alliance, the UNSC and even the Faerun world. Along the way, the architectural styles of these worlds opened An's eyes, and she wanted to move them all into her own plan.

Fortunately, she also knew that she would not eat too much, so An picked out some of her favorite ones that were more suitable for Manalia and put them in.

Now An brought Duanmu Huai to the planned area of ​​Manalia that she built. This is not a residential area. Strictly speaking, it is a commercial + entertainment area similar to Kamurocho. Of course, Manalia is naturally not as chaotic as Kamurocho. The streets are clean, tidy and spacious, and the surrounding buildings look quite impressive. Not only that, An also designed an aerial rail line in it. According to her, she plans to experiment here first, and after success, she can promote it to Manalia.

Although Manalia, as a magical country, has something like teleportation, not everyone can afford it. In contrast, the rail transit network is different. It can not only be used for large-scale population movement, but also to show Manalia's strength to other countries.

Of course, technically speaking, it is not difficult. After all, Manalia is a country based on magic. As long as you know this concept, it only takes a few minutes to use magic technology to create similar tracks and trains.

So knowing magic is amazing.

According to An's idea, she originally planned to invite Duanmu Huai to the opening ceremony, but Duanmu Huai was not there at that time, so she had to invite others. Now that Duanmu Huai is back, An can't wait to bring him to see her masterpiece.

This area does look very good, and it can be seen that An has planned it carefully.

Duanmu Huai even saw canned drinks and ice cream... Well, it's really interesting.

"How is it, Mr. Knight?"

Sitting at the dining table, An supported her cheeks with both hands and looked at Duanmu Huai with a smile. The latter drank the drink in the can - the drink ice here is not like cola, but more like juice, with a refreshing taste and very comfortable.

"Well, great, good job."

"Hehehe... Then when are we getting married?"

"………………?"

Fortunately, Duanmu Huai has strong self-control, otherwise the juice in his mouth would have sprayed directly on An's face.

"Why did you think of saying this?"

"It's not surprising, is it? After all, we are engaged couples, it's normal to talk about this topic, or does Mr. Knight not intend to marry me?"

"No, I want to ask you, after so long, have you ever thought about breaking off the engagement?"

At the beginning, Manalia chose to get engaged mainly because of the strength shown by Duanmu Huai, and Duanmu Huai didn't object because he needed An's help. After all, engagement is just a formality, and the two parties didn't know each other well at the time, so it's hard to say what will happen in the future.

But now...

"No, I think it's good to be with Mr. Knight. In fact, we are almost married now, right? But I still hope to have a grand wedding..."

That's right. Although Duanmu Huai and An didn't go any further, many times, An did take care of the affairs around him like Duanmu Huai's wife. It's just that the responsibilities as a companion and as a wife are still different.

"What else?"

"Hehehe, and if you marry Mr. Knight, can't you always be with Gu Leiya? Oh, yes, there is also Miss Mary, Miss Mary is also very cute... It would be great if everyone could get closer..."

Looking at An's whimsical look and drooling, Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes helplessly.

"Are you treating me as a tool?"

"Of course, I like Mr. Knight too. Although you look fierce and always go crazy from time to time, I'm used to it, right? Oh, yes, there is also the degree of fit - well, but from what I heard, it shouldn't be a problem..."

What degree of fit, what have you heard?

Duanmu Huai thought it would be better not to ask this question.

"But Gu Leiya won't be willing to marry me."

"That's not the case. Although Gu Leiya looks like that, she is very dedicated! For her, only by marrying Mr. Knight can she feel at ease... Mr. Knight, you should understand this, otherwise Gu Leiya will not agree to the marriage."

"...Okay, I admit that what you said does make sense."

Duanmuhuai shrugged helplessly. He could understand what An meant. Almost everything Gu Leiya had now was based on the Tribunal, including the dragon country she built. Therefore, it is not surprising that Gu Leiya will definitely marry Duanmu Huai in order to maintain the results of her hard work - this is also the purpose of political marriage in the first place.

Although it is said that even if she is not married, Duanmuhuai will treat Gu Leiya as a friend and companion, but from Gu Leiya's perspective, I am afraid she cannot feel at ease.

After all, wives and companions are different.

Duanmu Huai didn't have much reaction to this. He had basically never experienced any vigorous love. Like An and Gu Leiya now, it was just that they had been together for a long time, got along well with each other, and felt that there was no problem, so they could accept it—— —It's that simple.

There is no eternal oath, and there is nothing unforgettable.

Now that we are familiar with each other, think they are doing well, and are willing, then there is no problem.

Otherwise, what else do you want? Does it have to be like in a romance novel, where An suffers from accidental amnesia, but Duanmu Huai’s infatuation remains unchanged?

Or was Gu Leiya hit by a truck, and then Duanmu Huai sacrificed his life to save her?

Apart from anything else, if the truck hits Gu Leiya, there's no telling who will be the unlucky one! A dragon roar will blow you away.

"Great!"

Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, An excitedly raised his hands and jumped up.

"In this way, the harem can be officially formed!"

"Building a harem? Please make it clear first, is it yours or mine?"

Seeing An's excited expression, Duanmu Huai always felt that this was her real purpose.

"Oh, Mr. Knight, that's not what you said. Since I married you, I am your wife, so what's yours is mine, and what's mine is yours. We are husband and wife. What's the difference?"

Good guy, do you still want to turn this harem into the joint property of husband and wife?

Do you want me to add a name to you?

Duanmuhuai shook his head speechlessly.

"So, when will you get married?"

"Wait until everything is over... no, wait until the ether phase engine is built and the plan is successful."

Although saying this is a bit like setting a flag, Duanmuhuai doesn't care. After all, this is also a big gamble for Duanmuhuai. It doesn't matter to him whether he wins or loses the bet. But as long as the plan is successful, it means that one of his missions as a judge is over... Well, it is indeed time to consider his own problems.

"Then it's settled!"

Looking at An's baby-fat little face in front of her, Duanmuhuai smiled softly, then reached out and pinched her cheek.

"Well, that's settled."

At this moment, Duanmu Huai did feel a sweet atmosphere like love.

But, there is only this moment.

When he returned to the trial court, he immediately regretted it.

"Everyone, listen up, Mr. Knight and I have agreed to get married after this!"

An excitedly waved a list and shouted to everyone, and everyone had different expressions when faced with An's announcement - but it was obvious that An was not here to intimidate them. Because the next moment, An rushed to Gu Leiya and held her hand.

"Gulea, I am already married, and you will also marry Mr. Knight, right?"

"Hey, ah, yes...that's what I planned..."

"Well, let's sign here first, and then we will hold a group wedding!"

"Group...wedding?"

"Yes, it's fun to get married together in a lively manner!"

"Everyone?"

"yes!"

Faced with Gu Leiya's surprised question, An nodded matter-of-factly, then turned around and came to Mary.

"Come on, Mary, do you want an autograph?"

"Huh? Miss An? This, I..."

Facing the list and quill handed over by An, Mary was confused. She didn't expect that she was also involved - and this program even skipped the date and love confession, and jumped directly to the marriage registration?

This is too fast!

"Lorena? What about you!?"

"Huh? Me? I am a nun and I have to serve God. I can't..."

"Oh, isn't Mr. Knight a god too?"

"That seems right to you...?"

"What about you, Ogis?"

An turned to look at Ogis - the latter sat on Duanmuhuai's shoulder as usual after he came back.

That's her special seat.

However, facing An's invitation, Ogis firmly shook her head.

"I don't want it."

"Huh? I thought you would be happy to marry Mr. Knight."

"snort."

Hearing An's words, Ojis snorted, then stretched out her hand, hugged Duanmu Huai's head, and stared at An.

"That's the extent of your relationship with Master."

"Then what's your relationship?"

"……………………"

Ogis didn't answer, she just raised her head silently and looked like a winner.

As for what she was thinking, Duanmu Huai didn't ask. He might not be able to bear it if this little cotton-padded jacket stabbed him again.

"Then I'll ask someone else..."

"Stop."

Duanmu Huai finally couldn't help it, grabbed An's neck, and lifted her up like a cat.

"This is a wedding, you think it's a dinner party, and you still see who is free, right?"

"Hehehe..."

"Don't do these things, you see everyone is scared, anyway, there is still time, don't be so anxious."

"That's right, after all, he is a knight, maybe he will bring a few girls back! Then register together!"

"……………………..."

Is that what I mean?

"Ding ding ding..."

Just after finally settling this farce, Duanmu Huai's personal terminal sounded a prompt again. He opened it and glanced at it, and then connected the call.

Then, Dardanelle's voice came from the other side.

"Your Excellency the Judge! Something big happened!"

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Hearing Dardanelle's call for help, Duanmu Huai's face remained unchanged, and he reached out to pick his ears. This wandering merchant always came to him for no reason. When Duanmu Huai came back to clean up the communication, most of the distress messages were sent by Dardanelle.

Something like [Your Excellency the Judge, something happened, help me! ] [It's okay, the problem is solved, Your Excellency the Judge, don't worry] [Help me, something happened! ] [Don't bother the Tribunal, sorry to bother you]...

To be honest, Dardanelle made Duanmu Huai feel like Sha Seng in Journey to the West, repeating the same few lines over and over again all day long.

"Big Brother, it's not good, the master has been captured by the monster..."

"Big Brother, it's not good, the master and the second brother have been captured by the monster..."

That's about it.

"Tell me, which monster is it this time?"

Duanmu Huai yawned. It had just helped him deal with the Na'vi once and for all. How long had it been? What happened again?

"We have a merchant group from an extraterritorial galaxy here, and they want to do business with us!"

"Oh? From an extraterritorial galaxy?"

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai perked up.

"Are you sure?"

"I'm not sure, that's what they said, and I don't know if they're scammers..."

"So you want the Tribunal to come forward, right?"

Duanmu Huai knew Dardanelles too well, so he naturally understood why he was looking for him.

"Yes..."

"Okay, I'll go take a look, what's the name of the merchant group?"

"What's it called... Interstellar Peace Company?"

The base of the electric kettle at home broke a few days ago, and then my grandmother complained that this thing broke after just over a year of use, it's really not durable. But I remember that this should have been bought for a while, no matter how long it was, it must not be last year, and then I went back to check the order - wow, I bought it in 2018. But in our memory it seems to be something that happened in the past two years.

It can be seen from this that a monotonous and regular life will indeed numb people's perception of time. I live in this mountain and am almost numb all year round. Every day is the same life pattern, so that after so many years, I feel like only a few days have passed... It's amazing.
