Chapter 306

"Oh my." Li Shu was the first one to make a gloating sound. Although he also chose "no", it did not prevent him from feeling happy that Wu Mingbai was in trouble.

Wu Mingbai really wanted to sigh. He looked helplessly at the bewildered Wu Jin, then looked back at Li Shu with an angry and amused look: "Why are you laughing? It's as if you guessed it right."

However, Li Shu didn't care at all: "So what if I guessed wrong? Anyway, I wasn't the one who was asked the same question six or seven times in a row."

Wu understood: "..."

Success was a knock.

On the other side, Wu Jin also heard something from their confrontation, and came to Su Bei and asked quietly: "What happened just now?"

Su Bei also quietly recounted what had just happened, and then comforted him, "It's okay. As a sign of the bet, you will not be punished."

I have to say, although it's not very kind to say this, Wu Jin does feel very relieved. How did these people come up with such a punishment as exploring secrets in a strange palace? It's really a test of social skills!

Suddenly he remembered something: "Who lost then?"

"You should ask who won." Zhao Xiaoyu couldn't help laughing as she listened to their conversation and said, "Only Su Bei and Feng Lan guessed correctly."

As a socialite, she doesn't worry about these punishments, otherwise she wouldn't have agreed to join the bet in the first place. The real punishment is actually only for those few people who don't like to talk, and it is a reward to the rest of them in a sense. They would have done the castle exploration even without this bet.

Hearing this, Wu Jin was surprised at first, but soon he understood. That's right, if he and Ling You were switched positions, he wouldn't think that the other party would make fun of Wu Mingbai.

However, this would be a disaster for Ling You and Lan Su Bing. Neither of them is good at talking to strangers, so how can they fulfill the bet? As a social person, Wu Jin can empathize with these two people, although he knows in his heart that the three of them are in completely different situations.

Lan Subing is really socially anxious, to the point of being a bit pathological. But after training in the "Infinite Power Academy" for so long, she has improved a lot now, and is now just a normal severe socially anxious person.

Ling You has a cold personality and doesn't like to talk, but if she really wants to talk to others, she won't encounter any obstacles.

As for himself, Wu Jin knew that he also had psychological problems, but unlike Lan Subing, he just didn't want others to notice him. And as long as he lifted his hair, he would trigger a super confident state.

Thinking about it this way, Ling You is actually the most normal one among the three of them. And if the three of them really want to fulfill the bet, it seems that Lan Subing is the only one who will suffer in the end.

Apparently Lan Subing thought the same thing. She looked as if she was in a state of trance, muttering to herself, "I seem to have lost something."

Sitting on the plane, the cold air made everyone drowsy. Since it was a chartered plane, there was nothing to worry about, so everyone fell asleep quickly. When we woke up, we had already arrived at Yafei Country. When we got off the plane, we saw a Yafei countryman who looked like a butler in a suit standing at the airport.

The other party was followed by a row of bodyguards, looking very imposing. However, the handmade pick-up sign in his hand, which was as colorful as the class sign at the elementary school sports meeting, was too distracting.

Especially with the expressionless faces of the people in the row and the curious glances from the surrounding tourists, Wu Mingliang just wanted to turn around and pretend that he had never been here. He didn't want to be watched like a monkey at all!

Fortunately, the butler was very reliable. After recognizing Wu Mingbai, he handed the pick-up card to the bodyguard next to him, then walked over alone and whispered, "Prince Mingbai, I am the person sent by the king to pick you up at the airport. I am also the butler of the castle. You can call me Butler Weisser. The king has arranged rooms for you and your friends in the castle. Please follow me now."

The royal plane was definitely not a bus. Instead, they were picked up by several black cars that looked very expensive. Su Bei, Feng Lan, Zhao Xiaoyu, and Mu Tieren were arranged in one car.

As soon as the car started, Zhao Xiaoyu took a quick look and then started chatting with the driver. She could tell that the other person was not a particularly serious person, so she took the initiative to start a conversation.

"Master, do you all know his identity?" Zhao Xiaoyu asked curiously, "We thought that many people would come to watch him when he arrived."

The driver was not aware of this secret and shook his head, saying, "Only those of us who are related to the royal family know the inside story. The public does not know it yet. We should wait until the prince returns and gets the approval of Emperor Gaozuo before holding the announcement ceremony."

Unexpectedly, the question revealed information they didn't know. Zhao Xiaoyu widened his eyes in surprise: "Does the royal family of Asia and Africa need the approval of the patron saint to be recognized by Emperor Gaodi Anzhuo?"

Then she realized that her words were ambiguous, and quickly added: "I don't mean to belittle your patron saint. It's just that our country doesn't have a patron saint, so I don't quite understand it."

"It's okay, it's okay. Every year, tourists who come here ask a lot of questions about Gaudi Andros. It's not an offense." The driver smiled and shook his head. "After the royal family is recognized by the High and Low Androids, they will have an extra layer of protection in the borders of Asia and Africa. Our king once survived an assassination attempt thanks to the protection of Gaudi Andros."

So that's how it is. Zhao Xiaoyu originally thought that according to what the driver had just said, the guardian god in the Asian and African countries was higher than the royal family. But now it seems that it is not the case, especially from the other party's attitude, they should be in a similar equal relationship.

Su Bei thought the same, but because he was interested in exploring, he thought a little more than Zhao Xiaoyu. The guardian god provided protection for the royal family and the Asian-African country, so what did the Asian-African country provide for the guardian god?

If only the patron saint can provide benefits, but the Asian and African countries cannot give feedback, then their attitude should be more respectful, instead of using the patron saint as a tourist attraction, and drivers can talk about the relationship between the royal family and the patron saint in this way.

Thinking of this, he also spoke: "Does every household in your country worship the statue of Emperor Gaodi? In ancient times, almost every household in our country worshipped the statue."

"If there is, I also want to buy one to take back as a travel souvenir." Mu Tieren cooperated perfectly. Although he had no idea what Su Bei was thinking, he really wanted to bring a souvenir back.

Apparently, this is also a question that many tourists would ask. The driver answered skillfully: "Of course, every household in our city worships the statue of Emperor Gaodi Anzhuo. In the commercial street, not only the statues are sold, but also key chains and mobile phone cases with the guardian deity's pattern. You can buy them anytime."

Every household worships the guardian deity, which means they are indeed very respectful to the guardian deity. But they don't mind making money from the guardian deity, so the royal family can only take the lead.

Because they are willing to use the title of patron saint to increase the country's GDP, the people follow suit and do the same.

Now, it seems that the royal families of Asian and African countries can get the protection of the country and the royal family from the patron saint, and can also use him to make money. If the royal family cannot provide anything for the patron saint, it would be really outrageous. The Virgin Mary is not so selfless.

Now there are two possibilities. The first is that the royal family did provide something for the patron saint, but ordinary people may not know it. The second is that they did not provide anything, but the patron saint also does not need anything. In other words, the patron saint either has no life or no desire.

As far as Su Bei knew, the Guardian God was a variant of the Nightmare Beast. Judging from its ability to influence the foreign land veins, it must be at least a high-level Nightmare Beast. High-level Nightmare Beasts are intelligent, so compared to the other party's lack of desire, Su Bei would rather believe that the royal family of Asia and Africa can provide the Guardian God with other values, which is why it keeps guarding this place.

In order to get answers to some questions from the Guardian, Su Bei felt that he needed to know what the Guardian needed. After all, there were some questions that Wu Mingbai couldn't ask, and he didn't have the royal bloodline that the other party had. Even if he took advantage of Wu Mingbai's opportunity to meet the Guardian, the other party might not answer his questions. Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, so it is better to cater to his needs in advance.

Thinking of this, Su Bei suddenly glanced at Feng Lan. After so many lessons, Feng Lan must have had some predictions before coming to Asia and Africa. But he didn't say anything and followed everyone here obediently. Could it be because there were no accidents in Asia and Africa?

How is this possible? Su Bei believed that his judgment was absolutely correct. There was 200% a plot here.

However, there were foreigners along the way, so Su Bei was not in a position to ask too many questions. He did not dare to speak in his native language just because he was in a foreign country, betting that the other party could not understand Chinese. The royal family would definitely find a special translator to bring back a prince who had just been stranded in a foreign country.

When the time comes, their conversation will be recorded and translated. Su Bei is afraid that they will be arrested directly.

As the convoy drove forward, a tall castle came into view. The castle in the Asian and African countries looked very fancy at first glance. It was not as simple and solemn as other countries, but was decorated in a variety of colors. Each floor had a different color and was painted with novel patterns.

From the perspective of being fancy, the plane they sent was similar in some ways. But perhaps because the castle was specially designed by a designer, it did not look abstract, but rather had a vibrant and beautiful look.

I have to say that the castles in Asian and African countries are really refreshing. Su Bei has been to many countries before and after high school, and has seen many similar castles, but this is the first time I have seen such a colorful one.

Most of the houses along the way are of this color, and the whole city is filled with a colorful atmosphere. The Asian African country is not undeservedly known as the world's most famous tourist country. It is actually impossible to achieve this height simply by relying on a patron saint who can show his power. After all, Gaodi Anzhuo does not protect foreigners, so even if you come here for a few more times, you can't get familiar with it.

What really attracts tourists to come again is the unique local customs and practices that always make people feel happy. At least seeing the colorful towns in northern Jiangsu really makes people feel happy.

"It's really a tourist destination, it's so beautiful." After getting off the car, Zhao Xiaoyu couldn't help but exclaimed, "This style is rare in the world."

Mu Tieren nodded in approval and agreed sincerely, "Indeed, I made the right choice this time. The environment here is exactly the same as the photos uploaded online."

Hearing them praising their country, the driver said cheerfully in the car: "Don't worry when you come to our Asian and African country for a tour. We will never let you down! You know that friends of the prince will definitely receive the highest standard of treatment."

As they were talking, the last car arrived. All the S class members gathered together, and Butler Weisser led them to the castle gate. As the gate opened, the lights came on, illuminating the entire castle.

A red carpet was suddenly rolled out in the middle like rolling grass. Maids lined up neatly on both sides of the red carpet, bowed and said in unison: "Welcome Prince Mingbai back to the Kingdom of Asia and Africa!"

"What a Marie Sue plot..." Teacher, even with so many people here, Lan Subing couldn't suppress her strong desire to complain. She really didn't expect that the plot she had imagined when she was a child would be staged in reality, and it happened to her little friend.

Compared to her, Zhao Xiaoyu is the one who likes fantasy more. She immediately blurted out the title of a play: "Princess O-Sister..."

Others: “…”

Although they may not have watched this drama, just hearing the name is very appropriate for the current situation. Wu Mingbai twitched his lips and looked at the seven people who were marching at the end of the red carpet.

At the front was a couple of about 50 years old, dressed very gorgeously. It was no surprise that they were the king and queen, Wu Mingbai's biological parents. The queen looked exactly like Wu Mingbai, with tears in her eyes and her hands covering her mouth, almost unable to hold back her tears. The king also looked very relieved, hugging the queen and walking towards Wu Mingbai with a group of people behind him.

The remaining five people were three men and two women. Except for Andrew, whom they had met at the competition, the others were several years younger than them. As expected, they were other princes and princesses from the Asian and African countries.

Their expressions are different and are worth savoring.

The whole family came to welcome Wu Mingbai, and it was obvious that the king and queen were full of sincerity. As for how his other brothers and sisters felt about his return, that was uncertain.

The brothers and sisters' expressions quickly changed, and from the moment the king led them forward, they quickly became uniformly happy, as if they were really looking forward to Wu Ming's arrival. If Su Bei hadn't been paying attention to them from the beginning, he probably wouldn't have noticed the change in their expressions.

The following is the expected emotional segment, the queen cried as she hugged her lost son. After she calmed down a little, the king began to introduce his brothers and sisters.

Needless to say, Andrew is the eldest prince who doesn't have much brains. When he saw Wu Mingbai coming in, his expression was a little wary, but more of it was the arrogance of not taking Wu Mingbai seriously.

The second princess was called Meili. She looked at Wu Mingbai with a wary expression.

It is worth mentioning that the king of Asian and African countries does not necessarily have to be a man, women can also be chosen, and they can be recruited when needed.

With just one look, Su Bei confirmed that she also wanted to compete for the throne. But it was normal, who doesn't want to sit on the throne?

The next two boys were twins, the one on the left was Modal, and the one on the right was Moqi. The older brother Modal had the same expression on his face as the second princess, both with a look of vigilance and scrutiny.

As for Mochi, he was just as curious as the little princess Sofia. It was obvious that these two people had no hostility towards Wu Mingbai, so they probably had no idea about the throne either.

Because it was not convenient to talk in depth with outsiders present, the king planned to arrange for Su Bei and others to go somewhere else first. He signaled to Butler Weisser with his eyes, and the butler immediately stepped forward and stretched out his hand to Su Bei and others: "Guests, you must be tired from the journey. I will take you to rest."

Everyone looked at Wu Mingbai and saw him nod, then they followed Weisser with peace of mind.

The royal family of Asia and Africa was not poor, and the rooms they were given were all single rooms with large beds. There was also a bell on the bedside table, which could summon a maid by pressing it.

Their rooms are all on the same floor, so it is convenient for them to visit each other.

After arranging the room and helping them put away their luggage, Weisser continued, "Regarding tomorrow's itinerary, do you want to tour the area by yourself, or do you want me to find a tour guide to take you on a tour?"

Except for Su Bei, no one present had any bad intentions. They were all here for tourism, so they chose the second option without hesitation: "We want a tour guide!"

They are unfamiliar with the place, and having a reliable guide can help them get more results with less effort.

Weisser was not surprised by their choice. After getting the answer, he prepared to leave and arrange for a tour guide. Before leaving, he did not forget to provide them with today's entertainment activities: "Guests can visit the castle first today. Do not enter the locked rooms, which may contain some sundries or servants' rooms. Do not go to the top two floors, as that is where the king's direct relatives can go. You can explore other places at will. If you encounter any problems during the visit, you can always ask for help from the servants passing by. There is no Internet in the castle."

"Mr. Butler!" Seeing that he was about to leave, Zhao Xiaoyu quickly stopped him, "Can I ask you something about the Guardian Angel? We are all very curious about Him."

This question is very common among tourists. Weisser was not surprised that some of the friends brought back by the prince would be curious about it. He smiled politely and said, "Of course, it's my honor to answer your questions."

Everyone was very interested in this topic and went to the living room at the staircase on the same floor.

Zhao Xiaoyu was really just curious. As soon as he sat down, he couldn't wait to ask: "Mr. Butler, have you seen the Guardian Angel with your own eyes? What does he look like?"

Although all kinds of information indicate that the patron saint of Asia and Africa really does exist, as an atheist, Zhao Xiaoyu still finds it difficult not to question it. This is why she is so curious.

"I followed the king to see Gaodi Anzhuo once. He is actually everywhere in Asia and Africa. But the time I saw him, he was in the form of a human face protruding from the stone wall." Weisser said this without reservation, and there was even a hint of pride in his eyes.

The existence of the Guardian God in their country is no secret, and being able to see the Guardian God in person is indeed an honor in itself.

"Why does the king take you to find the guardian god?" Zhao Xiaoyu is a very smart girl, and she is very good at climbing up the ladder by following the other party's intelligence.

Unexpectedly, she would ask such a question following his previous answer. Weisser smiled awkwardly and quickly recovered: "I went to inquire about whether there were any geological disasters in the Asian and African countries."

The reason was reasonable, but unfortunately Su Bei did not miss the embarrassment that flashed across his face. The embarrassment was probably because he let the cat out of the bag, which in turn proved that the king's purpose of looking for the guardian god could not be told to others.

Oh, I really want to know where the guardian angel is. It would be even better if I could secretly place a bug there. Su Bei thought so, but he was not worried at all. With the protagonists here, there is no worry about not finding a chance to meet each other.

Now he just needs to enjoy the trip, pay attention when he encounters clues, and ignore them when there are no clues. When the comics are updated, the clues can be fed directly to him.

After Zhao Xiaoyu finished asking, Li Shu asked with great interest: "Will we have a chance to see the guardian angel?"

He had no interest in traveling, but was very interested in finding this patron saint. Among the many legends about the patron saints of Asian and African countries, some said that as long as you saw the patron saint, you could fulfill a wish, and some said that seeing the patron saint would give you a chance to be protected by God...

Li Shu was not stupid enough to believe these unfounded rumors, but he did develop a strong interest in the guardian god. Even if the rumors were not true, it was still interesting to see the demeanor of the "god".

Weisser said apologetically: "It is said that some people with great fortune can meet Emperor Gao Anzhuo. Apart from that, only members of the royal family can be arranged to meet Him."

No one was surprised by this. It would be strange if they could really see each other casually.

After the butler left, Lan Subing said, "This guardian angel is a little different from what I thought."

"What's the difference?" Ai Baozhu asked curiously.

Before Lan Subing could answer, Jiang Tianming guessed what she was thinking: "You think it's not mysterious enough?"

Hearing this, Lan Subing immediately nodded with an expression of "you understand me" and said, "It feels like we can see them easily. Even though there are only members of the royal family, they are also human beings."

Perhaps because her friend Wu Mingbai is a genuine royal from an Asian or African country, Lan Subing finds it difficult to feel any awe towards the royal family. She feels from the bottom of her heart that they are the same as herself and there is nothing special about them.

Su Bei thought for a moment and came up with a particularly appropriate metaphor: "Not like a god, but like the ancestors of the royal families of Asian and African countries."

Because he is the ancestor of the royal family, he will bless them and can be seen often. It is reasonable for them to let the people in Asia and Africa worship the patron saint. What is wrong with worshipping your own ancestor?

But he was just joking. Maybe the guardian angel really had some unspeakable secret with the royal family, but it was definitely not about any blood relationship. After all, Gaodi Anzhuo was a mutant of the nightmare beast and had a strange blood relationship with humans.

"Well, we are still in the royal castle." Si Zhaohua put his fist to his mouth and coughed lightly.

Everyone had forgotten about it, but once he reminded them, they became quiet as a chicken. Spreading rumors about someone else on their own territory was a bit of a death wish.
