Chapter 188
Chapter 187
Lake Parr, outside the castle.
After the heavy snowfall, today’s weather is rarely sunny and it is a day to go out, Xia Zoe can’t wait to ask everyone to experience the latest research by Reynolds and Joseph.
Udit, Gibran, Toby…Fernandi, Walker and others were all there, looking curiously at the Lord Lord riding a thing coming from a distance.
It was a two-wheeled bicycle, very old-fashioned, with a beam in the middle and a seat at the back.
Xia Zuoy looked very skilled, watching everyone look at him, and there was still room to release the handlebars to say hello. After a while, he came to the front, turned around and rode out again.
When Gibran’s younger brother Toby saw this, he said with envy: “Lord Lord is so smart. I couldn’t balance it when I went up to ride a bike just now…”
Always almost falling down.
Walker nodded in agreement.
Not only Toby, but even him, he was very clumsy in all aspects when he boarded this bicycle for the first time. Fortunately, his legs are long, even if he doesn’t have a good balance, he won’t fall to the ground.
And cycling is actually easy to learn, not too difficult.
Renault sent five bicycles. After they tried almost all of them, the lord went up to ride, and it succeeded the first time.
Walker couldn’t help sighing: “After all, Lord Lord confessed what he wanted to study.”
Moreover, with bicycles, traveling in the city is undoubtedly more convenient. Whether it is the back seat or the front basket, it is also very useful-carrying people, placing some items, etc.
The bicycles are now in mass production, and they will be sold in the Thorns Chamber of Commerce after the beginning of spring.
With some excitement, Xia Zoe rode her bicycle around the open space outside the castle several times.
It has been cleaned up by the servants long ago, and there is no snow.
However, there are two snowmen cuddling in places where they don’t usually walk. One is tall and the other is short. The face of the taller snowman is inlaid with two yellow jewel eyes by the Shazoi, and the face of the shorter snowman is beautiful. The ruby, he did not find the caramel color.
The two snowmen have chubby bodies, with dry branches that the Pope personally found on them as arms and hands. A solid-colored scarf is wrapped around the two snowmen’s necks, making them very close to each other.
Xia Zoe rode a bicycle around to the taller snowman.
He spent a lot of exercise time, his whole body was warmed up, his ears were wrapped under furry earmuffs, his hands were wearing cotton gloves, the thumbs and four fingers were separated.
He took off one glove and put it on the branch arm of the taller snowman, and the other glove was worn on the branch of the dwarf snowman. The glove was blown by the wind and swayed gently. Say hello the same.
Xia Zoe laughed twice, stepped on the bicycle and rode to the side under the crown of the Pope, and finally stopped with a handsome posture on the ground.
“Asai, do you want to try a lap?”
After getting closer, Xia Zoe naturally changed his name. He didn’t like calling the Pope to be Segalote. It was a bit long and troublesome, and it didn’t show the relationship between the two.
Therefore, he came up with a very concise and intimate address that can surprise others to the stunned when he shouted it out.
The first time he yelled, Judit nearly dropped the teacup he was handing to him.
The second time, when Fernandi, Walker, Samuel and others were there, they were in a meeting, sitting next to him under the crown of the Pope.
After Xia Zoe yelled, then with a “bang”, Samuel was shocked and knocked his chin on the table. He was supporting his chin with the back of his hand. Now the shock and pain caused the legend who had reached the New World to be shocked and painful. The characters distorted their facial expressions.
Fernandi and Walker are not too much, and they are rare to lose their attitude.
Butler Judet stood behind Xia Zoe and thought silently. Fortunately, he had already lost his temper in advance, so it is not difficult to calm down now.
It seems that the lord does not intend to conceal the relationship between him and the pope.
Xia Zuoyi smiled at his trusted subordinates: “What’s the matter, why are you reacting so much.”
The innocence of the posture makes people look at him.
Lord Lord, don’t you really know why we reacted so strongly? ! What name did you call the pope just now? !
Why are you and the Pope so close? !
Walker looked at the two of them and chuckled, “No, nothing.”
The next step is to continue the meeting. This topic is skipped. After all, Xia Zoe’s performance is fairly obvious, and everyone is vaguely aware.
But some things just need to be understood.
Just like after the heavy snowfall, the lord and the pope piled up two snowmen close together outside the castle.
It was a gesture of no concealment.
Up to now, how many people are aware of something accept it well.
After the bicycle was sent to the castle, the only people waiting outside was Saigalote who hadn’t rode on it. He smiled and glanced at the others at Xia Zoe’s invitation.
Xia Zuoyi understood at once, and the others were wisely looking for excuses to leave. Even the butler who had been serving close to him turned back to the castle, and it was time to prepare the dinner for today.
When only Chazoi and Segalot were left in the spacious open space outside the castle, the slightly reserved Pope held the handlebars of the bicycle and stepped on with his long legs.
Afterwards, Xia Zuoyi covered her mouth to prevent herself from stealing amusement, and watched the pope’s crown ride from a little clumsy, familiar, and finally proficiently stopping in front of her.
Saigalote squeezed Chazoe’s smiling cheek: “Get in the car and take you for a ride.”
He motioned for Xia Zoe to sit in the back.
Xia Zuoyi shook his head: “I can sit elsewhere.”
Where else is there except the back seat?
Saigalote’s gaze fell on the beam between the bicycle seat and the handlebar, he let go of a hand holding the handlebar, and watched Xia Zoe come over and sat on it, with a satisfied expression on his face. .
Xia Zoe couldn’t help shaking his legs and leaning against the chest under the pope’s crown with a smile, “Asai, let’s go!”
The wheels swayed, and Segarot began to take Xia Zoe circling in the open. Before he could make two laps, a group of fluffy people rushed out of the castle arguing with each other.
With briquettes at the head, behind the ice cream hall, the Youth League hovered happily in the sky.
Danzi and Brown Sugar were obviously very curious about the two-wheeled bicycle. They had never seen it before, and couldn’t help catching up quickly—
Xia Zuoyi: “Asai, run fast, there are beasts behind!”
“I’m so scared, huh.”
The lord pretending to be afraid suddenly hugged his waist under the pope’s crown, and smirked with his head buried in the opponent’s chest.
Saigalote: “…”
After all, two-legged ones can’t run four-legged ones, even two-wheeled ones.
The less Xia Zuoy let the plushs follow, the more they aroused their curiosity. In the end, even the ice cream, which was not very interested in it, caught up and pulled a paw.
Saigalote was forced to stop riding under the “love” of the fluffy people. He held the handlebar with one hand and the soft cheek of Xia Zoe with the other and said, “Little villain, so naughty.”
Xia Zoe pouted and kissed him.
No matter how much helpless Segarot had, it disappeared, not to mention, even his helplessness was sweet.
The playfulness in this can be regarded as the fun between the two.
…………
The calm winter passed quickly. After the beginning of spring, bicycle sales started without warning. First, the folks from the Thorns Chamber of Commerce displayed on the street at the door-manned, loaded, locked, and changed wheels. , Chain, etc.
Later, when the steward of the Thorns Chamber of Commerce saw that the number of onlookers around was almost the same, he began to invite some people to ride a bicycle to experience it.
No one can resist the charm of bicycles.
What’s more, the bicycle slogan hung up by the Thorns Chamber of Commerce is-“Make life easier and shorten the distance between cities.”
“Take your beloved one through the streets and alleys, feeling the breeze blowing, spring flowers blooming, and freedom.”
The propaganda slogans are eclectic and completely catch people’s hearts.
Especially after the guys from the Thorns Chamber of Commerce showed the difference between the back seat belt and the front crossbar belt, the eyes of the men present brightened.
The ladies are slightly shy.
Corresponding to riding wear, the Chamber of Commerce also introduced cycling pants, among which the majority are women in the middle category.
In view of the fact that the manufacture of bicycles is not so easy now, the final price is not low, at least not a price that ordinary people can easily accept.
At least ordinary people have to think twice about buying a bicycle and save enough money.
For a time, bicycles became a more expensive and luxurious thing in Desinian territory.
Xia Zoe sent it as a gift to Orville and Archibald, and it didn’t take long for them to receive a reply-very interesting things, and hoped to be promoted by them.
Xia Zuoy naturally agreed and discussed with them how to trade.
Now, he has almost mastered most of the territories on the Western Continent, and the owners of the remaining territories have a great relationship with him-he intends to abolish slavery in a comprehensive way and restore the free and equal rights of all slaves.
In this matter, he hopes to get the public support of Orville, Queen Minina, and King of the Kingdom of Beauville.
The last letter was sent by the Youth League to the Far North.
In fact, there are no slaves in Powell, but Shazoe wants to get Genna Cosmo’s public attitude on this matter.
As long as everyone is sure of one thing, the obstacles to this matter will be minimized.
Sure enough, Genna didn’t have any comments.
As a result, a notarized certificate jointly signed by Archduke Archiayoli, the King of the Kingdom of Powell, and the Kingdom of Anas, promoted by the Desinian lord, came out.
——Slavery, which has lasted for a hundred years, is completely abolished from this moment.
All the slaves rejoiced, ordinary civilians clapped their hands to celebrate, the nobles had some things to do with them, and some were touched by their interests but dared not speak.
The news of the abolition of slavery was blown across all corners of the Western Continent.
This day is worth remembering.
And the name Shazoe Desinia is even more worthy of being engraved on historical books, slates, iron scrolls, etc., on all important objects that record the circulation.
