Chapter 65
In a corner of the Ice City, huge sparks and a colorful rainbow suddenly appeared on the roof of a building. On the streets, in the houses on both sides, and on the aircraft suspended in the air, many people who saw this scene put down what they were doing and stopped to watch.
After the sparks went out, a green spot in the air stretched and grew rapidly, with soft vines climbing and folding around it, and layers of leaves growing rapidly. Then, flower buds appeared between the leaves, and after a few seconds, the buds bloomed, and hundreds of flowers bloomed, competing for beauty. Clusters of huge flowers burst open continuously, and colorful petals fell from the sky like flying feathers, which was extremely beautiful and dreamy. But when the petals fell into the hands of passers-by, they melted like a thin snowflake, leaving nothing behind except a few tiny rays of light.
This holographic projection image that can be seen from any direction is the popular advertising model in Landia . According to the provisions of the Town Management Law, this kind of advertisement can only be displayed for three days. During these three days, anyone who sees this image will know that a new plant and flower shop has opened in Bingcheng.
Most of the surface of the Imperial Capital Star is covered with thick ice and snow. Although there are a few plants unique to the Imperial Capital Star that can survive here, their colors are mostly like ice and snow, crystal clear. It is beautiful, but after seeing it too much, people will lose interest. Therefore, most people in Landia are more fond of green plants.
After seeing the advertisement, some passers-by who were nearby went into the store to take a look around.
It's a very small shop. If six or seven people come in at a time, the space here will make people feel too cramped. The shop does not provide customers with seats to rest or drinks and desserts. In addition to the flowers on the flower racks, there are no tools and nutrient solutions for growing flowers, which are necessary for such a shop. Careful customers found that this shop did not even set up a virtual store on the Star Network. From head to toe, there is a feeling of "come if you don't want to, go away if you don't want to buy."
However, as soon as passers-by enter the store, their eyes are fixed on it, and their gazes, breathing, and souls seem to be captured by the beautiful scenery before them.
There are only ten pots of flowers on the flower stand, and each one is very different. Some are elegant, some are bright and pretty, some are elegant and fairy, and some are as translucent as jade. The colors are strange and rich, and the shapes are elegant and graceful, just like a few gorgeous beauties covering their lips and laughing softly, with bright eyes and flowing light, and the charm is breathtaking. Each pot of flowers has its own fragrance, and these fragrances mixed together will not make people feel conflicting, but complement each other, making the fragrance more distant and refreshing.
The most rare thing is that each of these ten pots of flowers is a different species, each of which is unheard of and unseen, which is even more rare. Cultivating a unique flower is also a very popular trend in Landia, and they never worry about biological species invasion. On the contrary, most of the alien species introduced here will be frozen to death in a blink of an eye if they are not carefully cared for.
The only drawback is that each pot of these flowers is extremely expensive.
Even though most people in Landia live a wealthy life, buying a pot of flowers here is still painful.
So some people wanted to negotiate the price with the store owner.
The shop owner was obviously an alien, short (compared to the Landians), ordinary looking, and dressed in ordinary clothes. He neither greeted the customers enthusiastically nor made any comments on their lingering in the shop. He just sat there with a cup of tea and a book, reading. Inexplicably, a strange attitude seemed to have formed around him, and people were afraid to disturb him easily.
After a long time, someone finally couldn't help but say, "Um...excuse me..."
The shop owner raised his eyes slightly, glanced at him, and said, "Buying flowers?"
The man felt as if he was immersed in ice water the moment he was seen by him. He shivered and said, "Yes...ah, no...I want to ask...can your flowers be cheaper?" He used honorifics unconsciously and did not realize it until he finished speaking.
"No." The black-haired shop owner said lightly, and his eyes fell on the pages again.
The man was stunned for a moment before he realized that he had finished speaking. Before he could decide whether to protest or turn around and leave, a very polite but somewhat rigid voice came from behind him: "Hello, how can I help you?"
Finally meeting a normal clerk, the man was delighted. He turned his head and jumped back with a "whoosh", almost hitting the flower stand.
A strange-looking robot was standing behind him, with a flashing red camera staring straight at him. God, when he entered the door, he thought it was an antique trash can in the store, and even sighed at the owner's weird taste !
Watching the back of a bargaining customer who finally appeared, Alpha silently turned the camera, swept the already clean floor, went back to the corner, squatted on the ground, and began to pretend to be a trash can.
For three days, even after the advertising projections disappeared, the newly opened flower shop still hadn't sold a single pot of flowers. However, the discussion about the unprecedented flower species, the colorful flowers, the staggering prices, and the indifferent owner continued to grow on the Star Network. Every customer who walked into the shop mentioned the flower shop repeatedly in their social circles, consciously or unconsciously.
Then, on the fourth day, a silver-white car stopped in front of the store. The body of the car was suspended, only a few centimeters above the ground. A fist-sized pattern was printed in an inconspicuous place on the rear of the car. It was an inverted triangle with a small spiral inside.
There was a car parked on the street, which was nothing unusual. But when someone accidentally saw the small pattern, he immediately let out an uncontrollable exclamation, attracting passers-by to look at him. Before long, exclamations came one after another. Out of politeness, people did not gather around, but they stood at a distance and looked at the car, with amazement and admiration in their eyes.
"See? That sign..."
"Aurora Space Corporation!"
"Is it Lady Emrida herself who has arrived?"
"Oh my God! Mrs. Emrida also bought flowers in that black shop?"
Inside the flower shop, the scene that people imagined of the aloof shop owner being respectful to Mrs. Amidah did not appear. In fact, Amidah smiled while holding a cup of tea, with undisguised respect, trust, longing and admiration on her face.
"Where are the children?" Rong Yuan asked. He opened this flower shop in disguise, and now that he was in front of Amirida, he naturally took off his disguise.
"I'm in the Right Prime Minister's Residence with Aze. I came out alone." Emilida smiled and said, "They are looking forward to meeting you. They heard that you are not in the Imperial Capital Star. Don't mention how disappointed they are!"
"There will be a chance in the future." Rong Yuan said. He stroked the wall of the cup, and after a long pause, he said, "Amy, I want to ask you for help with something."
Emilida's eyes lit up immediately, and she leaned forward unconsciously, saying happily: "I've said it before, Rongyuan. No need to ask, my power is always at your disposal!"
——That's why I don't want to disrupt your life.
Rong Yuan thought to himself, and after a pause, he said, "Do you still remember the organization I told you about before?"
Emilida was stunned for a moment and asked, "That... organization called Maiqie?"
"Um."
"I remember you once said that there might be a huge secret organization inside the Landia Empire. They lurk in the darkest corners of the country like a shadow, manipulating the politics, economy, military, culture and other aspects of the empire. If their wishes are not fulfilled, even the emperor of the empire will be assassinated. But... later you also said that this is just a guess and there is no evidence to prove its existence." Amirida said after recalling.
"No, it does exist." Rong Yuan said, "I suspect that the mastermind behind the tragic situation on Red Prison Star is probably one or several people in that organization. Moreover, I have encountered two sniper attacks on my way back from Prison Star."
"What?" Emilida stood up suddenly and asked anxiously, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? How are you now? Are you injured?"
"Don't worry, it's all over. I'm fine now." Rong Yuan comforted her, gently patting Emilida's hand to calm her down. Then he said, "It can be considered a blessing in disguise. Because of their sniping, Pea has woken up."
"Little Pea is awake? When?" Emilida said happily, "Can I...can I see it?"
"Not for now." Rong Yuan shook his head and said, "It woke up early two days ago, and its condition is not very good. It was in a coma most of the time. It should take a long time for it to recover..."
"Oh..." Emilida was a little disappointed, but she still accepted it. She sat down slowly. Although Rong Yuan said that he was fine, Emilida felt very uncomfortable when she thought of him facing danger and being sniped without her knowing. Thinking of that organization again, she felt a strong disgust and murderous intent in her heart. She gritted her teeth and said, "That organization... no matter who they are, I will make them pay the price!"
Suddenly, Emilida remembered something and asked hurriedly, "By the way, Rongyuan, when did you go to Red Prison Star? If I hadn't watched the live broadcast, I wouldn't know where you were. Which organization did this?"
"Well... you've wronged them." Rong Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "It was Serinda who designed to send me to Red Prison Planet."
"Selinda?" Amirida was stunned and asked, "Why did she do this?"
