Princess, I am really a good person

Chapter 20 Red Stone City

Zhou Mingyi leaned behind the off-road vehicle, and Shana squatted beside him holding her knees. The sound of rushing water came from the river behind her.

After walking not far, we encountered this river. At Alyssa's strong request, we stopped the car to give her time to wash her body.

"Hey, it's so cold." Zana retracted her head into her coat.

"Princess, your body is so good. You can still bathe for so long in such a cold weather." She murmured softly.

"Don't underestimate the nobles' determination to maintain their image." Zhou Mingyi sat down next to her and lit a cigarette.

Just after taking a sip, Alyssa let out a startled scream followed by the sound of splashing water.

"Princess, are you okay?" Zana stood up in a hurry and asked, not daring to look directly over.

"I'm fine! No need to come over! It just slipped!" Alyssa said quickly.

"Ah, yes" Zana squatted down again.

Zhou Mingyi smoked a cigarette calmly without turning his eyes.

Because from just now, he has kept the control turned on and paid attention to the situation over there.

Within twenty meters, all details can be observed.

Of course, as a gentleman, he first does this to ensure the safety of the princess at all times.

Then comes the rest.

After more than ten minutes, Alyssa finished washing, dried her body, and put on clean clothes.

Zhou Mingyi turned around and saw that Alyssa was now clean again, but her body was trembling. Her pretty face was red from the cold, steam was rising from her mouth, and her long blue hair was dripping down. After soaking in the water, she rubbed her hands to warm them up and covered her cold ears.

The brown travel coat made her less eye-catching than before, but her slightly bloated figure and black pantyhose made her look a bit cute again.

"Princess, drink some hot water." Zana thoughtfully brought her a cup of hot water.

"Thank you." Alyssa took it tremblingly and took a sip.

"Let's go quickly when you're done." Zhou Mingyi said, throwing down the cigarette butt.

"At this point, it's already midnight when we get to the border."

"Can you throw away that box of wolf skins? I can smell it now." Alyssa looked at Zhou Mingyi with discomfort on her face.

"I actually really want to keep it to make a coat." Zhou Mingyi said.

Looking at the sky, the whole sky was overcast, with only a few beams of sunlight cast in the distant sky.

Zhou Mingyi felt some inexplicable restlessness in his heart. So far, everything had gone too smoothly. Although he had hoped for it, the safe environment under high pressure still made him anxious.

After starting again and walking for another two or three hours, they entered an abandoned city.

This is probably a city built on factories. The buildings are all centralized apartment buildings from forty or fifty years ago. At this time, most of them have collapsed. The ruins are covered with vegetation, and many buildings are covered with dense bullet holes. , there are also craters on the road, indicating that the city was destroyed by war.

And among these ruins, people can still be seen living. In some open spaces, there are many sheds built with wooden boards and plastics, and in collapsed houses, you can see some people huddled together, and some people are standing on the roadside. Wearing tattered clothes, they watched their vehicles pass by with no expression on their faces.

Alyssa saw the woman carrying a bucket passing by. Half of her face was covered in materialized skin, like tree bark, and half of her body was abnormally bulging, which was very uncoordinated.

"Why are there so many infected people here?" Alyssa asked, looking out the window.

"They were driven here. The population in the north is sparse. Most of them are in the late stage and will become a source of infection after death, so they were driven to a place like this." Zhou Mingyi said while driving. "This is Red Rock City. In the past, this was the famous heavy industrial city of Mortan, and it was also the only place where red stone mines were produced. During the war of kings, this was a battleground, and everyone wanted to occupy it."

Redstone ore is an important energy source in this world, equivalent to oil.

"But now the mountains have been hollowed out. The only area left in the north is occupied by the Gist Legion, and these are the only infected people left in this city." Zhou Mingyi drove and followed Ai Lisa talked.

"You know this place very well?" Alyssa said.

"Understand a little bit." Zhou Mingyi said.

After all, I write history.

"Can you tell me more about the War of Kings? The teacher has never mentioned it much, and it has not been mentioned in many books." Alyssa looked at him expectantly.

"If possible, I would also like to know more about the situation of infected people in this place."

Most of the history of Mortan is outside the scope of her knowledge. The history books of Osius only have some parts about the past resistance to the invasion of the royal court of Sarrero, but there is not much content about the subsequent civil war among the kings. Now listening to Zhou Mingyi's talk She found this part of history particularly fresh.

"Actually, there's nothing much to say. It's just a group fight between a few people and dividing the territory. This has not always been the case in wars since ancient times." Zhou Mingyi said.

"But this is a turning point for Mortan and the Royal Court of Sarrero. This war has completely changed this country, and even changed the world!" Alyssa's tone increased.

"I'd love to learn about this part of history, but there's so little documented about it."

"It's normal, because after the War of Kings, the high-ranking nobles of the demon clan ran out to escape for their lives. Most of them are with you Osius. In order to prevent the things you have done from being exposed, you have to change history and restrict the use of Moore. Tan’s historical research still needs to be done,” Zhou Mingyi said.

Alyssa's mouth opened slightly, as if she had heard the incredible news, and she was shocked and speechless.

"How is it possible that the demons have modified history? There are not many demons in Osius. And not many of them are in high positions." Alyssa said in disbelief.

"Of course there are not many demons, because most of the demons who escaped have changed their race. Didn't you notice that the number of your sub-dragons suddenly increased sharply during that period?" Zhou Mingyi said.

"You mean"

"Because the Demon Clan and the Yalong Clan have many similarities, and the real Yalong Clan do not live in groups, are small in number, and have limited information about each other, so they can take advantage of it. After so many years, it has been passed down from generation to generation. The bloodline has faded long ago, and future generations will continue to live happily as the 'new demon clan'." Zhou Mingyi said.

"But why? My teacher never told me about it." Alyssa said.

"You are too young, or maybe your teacher also has demon blood." Zhou Mingyi said with a smile.

Alyssa was silent, leaned back in her chair, and didn't speak for a long time. Some of the concepts she had always recognized were being broken.

Seeing her like this, Zhou Mingyi said: "You actually don't have to worry about this. After all, the demons are demons, and the nobles of the demons are another race."

Zhou Mingyi pointed to the infected people huddled together outside.

"Do those nobles who have integrated into other countries still feel that they are of the same race as these wet and sick people?"

"It is precisely because of this that I will find ways to help them, but why are these same poor people doing all kinds of evil things?" Alyssa said with a depressed expression.

"It's too early for you to think about these things. Wait until you become queen before you think about these nonsense." Zhou Mingyi said.

"Queen. How can the throne be passed on to me? They will not let a person with mixed Swedish blood ascend to the throne." Alyssa said slightly seriously.

Princess Jolene, Alyssa's mother, is the princess of the Kingdom of Rein, and Rein and Osius have been at odds with each other for a long time in the past. The two countries put aside their grudges and got married. Even though Alyssa attracted much attention in Osius, He is deeply loved by the king, and the kingdom will not let an outsider ascend the throne, not to mention that there is a generational gap between Rein and Osius.

But that is the case for now, but if Alyssa awakens the kingdom's natural seal, they will not be able to object. At that time, even if she is the king's illegitimate child and her mother is a servant, she will be the first heir to the throne. .
