Chapter 1505 Sorry, I’m Not Free
Billy was so nervous because Connie's house was surrounded!
This is an extremely rare thing in Tórshavn!
The first feeling of outsiders when they arrive in Torshavn is: there is no one here!
Generally speaking, a regional capital is the most densely populated area. And Torshavn, the political, economic, and cultural center of the Faroe Islands, is practically deserted, its streets eerily quiet. And yet, so many people surrounded Connie's home? This situation could only be described as terrifying.
Considering that Xiao Peng and Bruch were missing, Billy's first thought was that it was the trouble caused by them, so he quickly contacted them.
But the two of them just left their clothes there to soak in the hot springs, and they couldn't answer Billy's call at all. When they came out of the shower and changed their clothes, they found that their phones were full of missed calls from Billy. But when they called Billy, Billy started not answering the phone again. What the hell is this!
Even though the clothes here were just placed in those wooden grids and no one was watching over them, Xiao Peng was worried that the things would be stolen at first. In fact, he found that he was overthinking it, as no one had touched any of the things at all.
This isn't to say the Faroe Islands are well-mannered. They're actually quite proud of the fact that nothing gets lost here. While there's no one watching, everyone is secretly watching this cloakroom to prevent theft!
Since he couldn't contact Billy anyway, Xiao Peng figured he was probably fine and just couldn't find him, so he didn't take it seriously. Instead, he and Bruch enjoyed some Faroese cuisine.
Of course, today we're not eating whale steaks - this time we're eating lamb chops and seafood.
The name "Faroe Islands" evokes the idea of "Sheep Islands," as sheep far outnumber people. Faroese people rely primarily on livestock and fishing for income, though much of this is exported. Locals also prefer whale meat to beef and mutton.
But this does not mean that the beef and mutton here are not delicious. All of them are free-range lamb and veal, which are definitely top-quality beef and mutton!
The seafood here is definitely worthy of praise. It is cheap and super fresh. However, the way the locals eat it is difficult for tourists, especially those from Daxia, to accept: the mainstream way of eating it is to boil it in water and then chill it.
Many people who aren't used to this way of eating will easily suffer from diarrhea, but Xiao Peng expressed no pressure with this method: "They also eat it this way in Marseille. I'm quite used to it."
By the time the two of them had eaten and drunk their fill and drove back to Connie's residence, it was already nine o'clock in the evening, but it was still bright. The days here are extremely long in summer and the nights are extremely long in winter - the high-latitude polar night and polar day phenomenon is fully reflected here.
As soon as Xiao Peng pressed the doorbell, he heard quick footsteps coming from inside. It was Connie who opened the door.
Before Xiao Peng could say anything, Connie hugged Xiao Peng and kissed him hard on the mouth. Xiao Peng was stunned. After kissing Xiao Peng, Connie hugged Bruch directly and kissed him hard on the mouth again.
If she hadn't kissed Bruch, Xiao Peng wouldn't have known what was going on. But after she kissed Bruch, Xiao Peng figured out what was going on - Connie should have known that they helped rescue people.
At this time, Billy also came out of the house, followed by two girls, Connie's two daughters. Although Connie was younger, her children were already adults. There were many people here who got married and had children in their teens, let alone Connie.
"Why don't you answer the phone?" Billy asked as soon as he came up.
Xiao Peng said helplessly: "How can I answer the phone while taking a shower there?"
"My idol, why didn't you call me when you went out to show off?" Billy complained. "Thousands of people came to Connie's house today to express their gratitude to you. I was almost scared to death at first - I thought you got into trouble outside and so many people came to attack you. These Faroese people are not that welcoming to outsiders."
After he finished speaking, he realized that he had said the wrong thing: "Of course, this does not include Connie and the others. Their enthusiasm can completely melt me."
Connie rolled her eyes at him, then walked over to Xiao Peng and Bruch, holding their arms. "Don't stand there at the door. Let's talk about this later. I've heard about your story. They all say you're true heroes. Our 'lawyer' waited for you for a long time today, but you didn't come back. He said he'd come tomorrow. Before I leave, let me tell you this: what happened today proves that the Daxia people are true friends of the Faroe Islands!"
Xiao Peng blinked. Their "lawyer" was the supreme leader of the Faroe Islands' traditional parliament and had a very high reputation in the Faroe Islands. He said, "The Daxia people are our true friends of the Faroe Islands." He did not mention Denmark in this sentence!
Now Xiao Peng deals with a group of politicians and the like all the time. The moment he heard this sentence, he immediately understood that it actually has a deep meaning!
Xiao Peng really doesn't have any good feelings towards Denmark - the real situation in this country that is famous for fairy tales is not fairy-tale at all!
The Americans are collaborating with Denmark to monitor all of Europe. Ivan's last warning about being monitored was inextricably linked to Denmark! Furthermore, this country has always been a vanguard in opposing Daxia, with all the unsubstantiated "accusations" against Daxia essentially originating from Denmark. At the beginning of the global pandemic, their official newspaper even insulted the Daxia flag. When the ambassador to Denmark demanded an apology, their prime minister publicly supported the insult, claiming it was "freedom of speech," and refused to apologize.
This is actually the reason why Xiao Peng did not go to rescue people when the Danish warship was hit and people fell into the water today.
This is also Denmark's consistent style: strong on the outside but weak on the inside!
Denmark was also quite resilient during World War II, initially lashing out at Germany. But what happened when the Germans finally arrived? It took only four hours from the German invasion of Danish territory to their surrender. This incident also resulted in the capture of the British Royal Navy submarine HMS Seal, prompting the British Navy to no longer name any of its ships after the name.
And what about Denmark? From then on, it fully cooperated with Germany and became Germany's loyal little brother...
Didn't they apologize to Daxia at the time? Daxia netizens used the "you can't hold out for four hours" meme to retaliate against Denmark, and the Danes got angry again, banning posts, suspending accounts, and threatening to file a lawsuit—what happened to the freedom of speech you all talked about?
It's so fucking funny.
Basically, several Nordic countries are like this: they are small countries with few people living in a remote corner, arrogant but cowardly when encountering difficulties.
As a result, not long after they insulted the flag of Daxia, reality slapped them hard in the face, letting them know what it meant to be "slapped in the face".
