Chapter 1073 A bird entered the secret birdcage

Is this... the legendary Golden Land?

After being carried down from the boat by the eldest brother, looking at the rows of chimneys that looked like clusters of black reeds in the distance, the coal smoke that dyed the clouds into lead gray, and the dark city as far as the eye could see, a deep disappointment emerged in the still red eyes of the Great Rose of Original Sin.

The Golden Country that produces 70% of the world's precious metals, the Golden Fiber Port that ranks first in the world in terms of seaborne cargo throughput, the Golden Spike District where all the giant chambers of commerce in the Western Continent are stationed, and the tax revenue from one street is enough to feed an entire country...and this is the result?
"Put on a mask."

He took out the children's mask that had been prepared in the mirror world, hung it on Melanie's ears, and carefully tightened the lock rope to ensure that there was no leakage on the nose and chin. Then, Leon, who was also wearing a large mask, turned around and said:

"Mo... cough... a friend told me that the air quality in the Golden Country is very bad. You must take precautions when you are outdoors, and don't go near blocks with many chimneys, otherwise your nostrils will be filled with black air.

Anna, Miss Wendy, you two had better cover your hair, because if it gets windy later, the chimney dust and soot will get on your hair, and it will be very troublesome to wash it off. "

“It looks so dirty here…”

When Lyon was distributing masks and wigs to everyone, Melanie, who was put down, looked at the black soles of her shoes, and then couldn't help but complain to William who looked calm next to her:
"Everywhere is dusty. My shoes are black after just a few steps. I think this place should not be called the Golden Country. It should be called the City of Ashes."

"This place was indeed originally called the City of Ashes."

"what???"

"In the Pan-Continental Kingdom and City-State Research, which records the origins of the Twelve Kingdoms, it is written that before the discovery of the huge gold mines, the largest mineral resource of the Kingdom of Morna was coal. The current Golden Town is located in the river valley where coal was originally washed and smelted. At that time..."

After briefly explaining the history of the Golden Country to his ignorant sister, William, who had done his homework before coming, stood on tiptoe and looked at the only golden building across the river. Then he narrowed his eyes thoughtfully and turned back to Queen Veronica and said:

"Sister-in-law, do you want to send a military ..."

"Cough cough cough!!!"

Fearing that Brother William might suddenly make some shocking suggestions in front of Miss Mermaid and expose the identity of his family, Leon interrupted him:

"There's no need to arm the caravan. This is the inner port of the Kingdom of Morna. There won't be any pirates here. Just bring a guard to ensure basic safety... By the way, Miss Wendy."

Leon, who was quite curious about the alliance formed by the six kings against him, had not explained his identity. He quickly winked at Anna and entrusted her with the responsibility of taking care of the child. Then he smiled at Miss Mermaid and said:
"I remember you mentioned before that you should be the last one to arrive. Then are the others..."

"They must be getting impatient!"

Firstly, she didn't think she could be so unlucky that she just bumped into a random ship and happened to meet the God of Food. Secondly, she had a high degree of trust in Leon as a "fellow tribe". After hearing this, Miss Mermaid didn't think much about it and immediately urged:

"Let's go! Some of them have already arrived a week ago. We have to hurry or we won't be able to catch up... huh?"

When she was about to take Leon to attend the "Anti-Food God Conference", Miss Mermaid seemed to have discovered something. She turned around and looked towards the waiting area at the dock, and saw two guards who were driving away the people.

"strangeness……"

After looking at the Morna royal marks on the two guards and identifying the corresponding reception specifications, Miss Mermaid couldn't help but said in surprise:
"Is this the scale of a royal visit? Are there other royal families coming on the same day as me?" Indeed, there were... but because you were speeding like crazy along the way, we arrived half a day earlier than expected, and the welcoming department of the Kingdom of Morna had just begun to clear the area.

"Could it be that the God of Cookery and the Queen of the Robin Kingdom have arrived?"

After blinking slightly, Leon suddenly "tensely" reminded Miss Mermaid with a "serious" look, not wanting her to stay here any longer:
"This is the North Pier of the Golden Country. If the God of Food and the Queen of Robins choose to take the Golden Route and come here by boat, then his ship will probably stop at this pier, so... Hey? Wait a minute! Why are you running?"

"I...I'm not running..."

Hearing the voice behind her, the mermaid who had subconsciously run seven or eight meters came back to her senses and said with a slightly embarrassed look:
"The main reason is that I'm already quite late, which is really rude. I don't want to keep them waiting for me, so I left in a hurry... well... how about I go first?"

"No, we'll go with you."

After holding Anna's hand and giving her a few instructions and arranging the guards, Veronica, who was also wearing a large mask, walked over quickly, put her arm around Leon's arm, and said with a smile:
"We are very interested in the opportunity you mentioned. It's rare to see so many kings at once. Thank you Miss Wendy for giving us such a precious opportunity!"

……

"Wendy!"

Seeing the mermaid lady entering the meeting room led by her attendant, Queen Refraction, who was of the same descent as Miss Ohba and had a close relationship with her, took the initiative to stand up and greet her.

"You are finally here, on the way..."

"There was a small accident on the way, but luckily someone fished it out, and nothing serious happened."

After holding the hand of the Queen of Refraction and exchanging a few simple greetings, Miss Mermaid was about to introduce Leon and the other person behind her, but she heard a slightly nervous urging voice coming from inside the house.

"Don't stand at the door, come in and talk!"

"The door is not safe! Come in quickly! Don't let the news leak out!"

"???"

"Oh yeah, it's time to come in and talk!"

After blinking her round eyes, Queen Refraction took Miss Mermaid's arm, who looked puzzled, and led her into the meeting room, while Leon and Veronica quickly followed.

Just after the few people left the door, as the Queen of Refraction waved her hand, a faint light curtain hung down from the door frame, covering the door of the meeting room tightly. Even the crack in the door was covered tightly, completely turning the room into a secret room.

"The secret is a bird with wings. If you don't want it to fly around, you have to put it in a cage when it's still an egg."

After saying a proverb from the Kingdom of Refraction, the round-faced queen of the Kingdom of Refraction said to Miss Mermaid:
"The mother of the robin queen was born in the Kingdom of Morna. The two countries have always been staunch allies, so now we are discussing how to deal with the God of Food in his territory. We must be extra careful... Wendy, who are the two behind you?"
