Chapter 98 Lasdel
The sudden male voice startled Lasdale, who immediately stood up. Liu Yufei realized he had frightened the girl.
"Ah! I'm sorry, I startled you! I am the owner of this manor, welcome to Laputa!"
"Laputa? This is Laputa?"
Liu Yufei's heart skipped a beat. Has the reputation of my great Laputa become so great? Even children know about it now?
"You've heard of it too?"
"Yes! My master craftsman told me this story two years ago!"
Hearing that it was a story, Liu Yufei felt a little excited. As the saying goes, a wild goose leaves its cry as it flies by, and a person leaves their name as they pass by. Liu Yufei has also left a legend in this world.
"Hahaha, that's all just rumors. Since you've come all this way, you're destined to be here. I've prepared a feast to show you the hospitality of a good host!"
As he spoke, Liu Yufei made a gesture of invitation, a courtesy he had learned from Musca.
But Rasdel didn't seem to care about the banquet; instead, she asked with concern:
"When can I leave? I have something very important to do, please!!"
These words left Liu Yufei somewhat speechless. Over the past few years, quite a few visitors had come here, all of whom were thinking about how to stay, and the first thing they thought about was how to leave.
"Ah! Haha, no rush. It's getting late. After dinner, I'll have them escort the young lady down tomorrow."
Lasdale frowned immediately, looking up at the bright sky, thinking that Liu Yufei had some ulterior motive and wanted to put her under house arrest.
Liu Yufei immediately realized that the girl had misunderstood and quickly explained:
"The sky in Laputa is adjustable..."
After saying that, Liu Yufei clapped his hands twice, and sure enough, the sky over Laputa immediately darkened, which was the right time.
Liu Yufei's antics didn't reassure Lasdale; instead, they made her even more worried. She looked at Liu Yufei with a hint of fear in her eyes. Liu Yufei immediately thought, "Oh no, I've become a perverted old man!"
He was also blaming himself! Why did he have to learn from Muska? If he had learned from Balu, wouldn't he have easily won over that little girl?
Helpless, Liu Yufei could only try to sound as gentle as possible:
"What's your name?"
"La...Lastelle, a Pegete!"
"Lasdale??"
Liu Yufei looked at Rasdale in surprise. He didn't really remember the name. After all, he had been in this world for three years. Although he remembered the general plot of Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, he really couldn't remember a character who only appeared once and then died.
But if it were Petit, he immediately remembered, and then smiled and said:
"Hehe, so she's Princess Peijit. Looks like I really do have a bad rapport with princesses!"
Unexpectedly, it's another princess. Well, this continent isn't a unified one; various lords dominate the land, leading to military fragmentation. Even a small village like the Valley of the Wind, with only five hundred inhabitants, dares to declare itself a kingdom.
As a result, the status of emperors, princesses, and princes—such noble identities—has become somewhat inflated.
Lasdale hadn't expected Liu Yufei to expose her identity so directly, and Liu Yufei's tone made the already nervous Lasdale even more nervous.
Liu Yufei was genuinely jealous. After all, the first princess he encountered today, Kushana, had turned into a fight, which was far from pleasant. The second princess, Nausicaä, now also harbored resentment over the theft of his cat, which only added to Liu Yufei's frustration.
And before him stood the third princess. Liu Yufei immediately sat down on a nearby bench, deliberately keeping his distance from Rasdale to put her at ease.
"Then you have nowhere to go now! Are you going back to Petit?"
The royal family of Pejite has already been wiped out by Kushana. Going to Pejite now would be suicide. So when Liu Yufei finished speaking, Rasdale's face fell.
"It seems the lord already knows. I must go find my brother, the king!"
"Oh! Asber! Do you know where he is now?"
Indeed, it was Rastel who led Peget to escape, while Asbel, as her brother and heir to the kingdom, went underground to continue resisting the Kingdom of Tolmekia. Therefore, Rastel currently has no idea of her brother's whereabouts.
But now she was more worried about Liu Yufei's words, because Liu Yufei's words revealed that he knew Peijit very well, so she subconsciously suspected that Liu Yufei's motives for saving her were not pure.
He then glanced at Liu Yufei twice, and Liu Yufei was also stunned. Did I say something wrong again? He immediately showed his innocent eyes, meaning that he was really not a bad guy.
The more Liu Yufei acted this way, the more desperate Lasdale became. Seeing the covetous look in Liu Yufei's eyes, Lasdale steeled her heart and immediately prostrated herself on the ground.
"My lord, if you help me restore the Pejite Kingdom, I am willing to be your puppet..."
Rasdel received a royal education from a young age, which she resisted, and was often scolded by her father for it! Fortunately, her brother Asbel protected her.
Now that her country is destroyed and her home is destroyed, Rasdale realizes the heavy burden on her shoulders and that she can never return to that carefree life!
Liu Yufei was furious when he saw Lasdale on the ground! "Where did you, a little girl, learn to say such things?" He immediately had the nanny robot next to him help her up.
"Get up first. I'm really not a bad person. I...you...let's talk about it tomorrow!!"
Liu Yufei immediately realized that he would only make things worse by explaining, and stormed off in a huff. Seeing Liu Yufei leave, Rastell realized she had overthought things and immediately looked at the robot beside her.
The nanny robot is equipped with a language system. In fact, Liu Yufei also planned to install a language system on the guardian robot, but these robots already have too many commands, so even if the language system were installed, it would only produce uncivilized words like "attack!" and "annihilate!"
Laputa is such a harmonious and friendly place, how could such words be used? So Liu Yufei simply shut down these language systems. Of course, in private they only communicated by signal, so it didn't matter whether the device was there or not.
At this moment, the nanny robot looked at the bewildered Rasdel and said in a comforting tone:
"Miss, the young master is in a bad mood today. Let's talk about it tomorrow!"
In the end, the banquet never took place, and Liu Yufei went back to sleep.
The next day, after rinsing his mouth, Liu Yufei rinsed it with warm water.
"Dog Egg, wake up! Today we need to..."
Liu Yufei called out familiarly, but then suddenly remembered something, and his face darkened.
Snapped! !
In the end, he couldn't hold back and smashed the teacup in his hand on the ground. Besides anger, his eyes were filled with helplessness and despair.
"what!!!"
Lasdale looked at Liu Yufei with a horrified expression, covering her mouth with her hands and tears welling up in her eyes.
She didn't sleep at all last night, spending the whole night reviewing the events in her mind. With the previous tension gone, her understanding of Laputa became clearer.
First, Laputa's medical technology is absolutely advanced, because before she woke up, her body had been infected by the fungus of the Sea of Decay. This kind of injury is beyond the reach of the surface, otherwise the Sea of Decay would not have become a major concern for humanity.
Secondly, Laputa's combat strength is definitely very strong, a conclusion she drew from seeing those guardian robots.
Thirdly, the atmosphere in Laputa was very good, especially when she overheard the robots talking and even mocked Liu Yufei.
Of course, Liu Yufei was unaware of this. Seeing Lasdale, who was frightened by him again, he felt somewhat apologetic. Lasdale, meanwhile, was still covering her mouth, hiding behind the nanny robot, awaiting punishment.
In the past, when she made mistakes, her father would fly into a rage just like Liu Yufei. Whenever she tried to fight back, her mother would cover her mouth. Over time, this caused Lasder to unconsciously cover her mouth whenever she felt wronged!
King Pejette's punishment was simple: starvation and locking Rasdale in a room.
At these times, her brother Asber would secretly bring her food, while her mother would only scold her incessantly.
Of course, in the end, she also learned that her parents' love for her was profound, and if they were really so heartless, Asbel wouldn't have been able to bring her food.
"Young Master, please don't be sad..."
"Am I sad? I'm not sad at all... not sad..."
Liu Yufei was on the verge of collapse, but he still pretended to be strong and said, "Well, it's a nanny robot! It's responsible for nanny work, and naturally it's also responsible for psychological counseling." Looking at this immature young master in front of him, the nanny robot just quietly looked at him.
"Ugh! Sivir, why did I have to get into this mess? I wasn't good enough to her! How could she be so heartless, leaving without even looking back?!"
Liu Yufei immediately threw himself into Xiweier's arms, like a child who had lost a toy seeking solace from his mother.
Seeing Liu Yufei slapping himself repeatedly while groaning in pain, Lasdale felt a sense of relief. She knew that the man in front of her was definitely easier to get along with than her father, at least her father wouldn't have such a weak side.
Looking at Liu Yufei crying and wailing in front of her, Lasdale knew, even though she had never experienced such pain, that the man in front of her seemed to have just broken up with his girlfriend!
"Sylvia, you're definitely joking, aren't you?!"
"Young Master, we robots are all programmed, unless we can't help it!!"
"Ah! You're still making fun of me! I'm leaving this place of sorrow. You people are all bad, especially you!! Sivir, you and the captain seem to be from different systems, right?"
The combat system and the life system are separate. Liu Yufei is here for tourism, so it can't be like fighting a war every day! Yesterday, he took down combat robots with him.
So Sivir wouldn't know what happened, but judging from her tone now, she definitely does, and who knows how she's gossiping about her?
"Young Master, um...you..."
Sivir's vague answers struck Liu Yufei like a thunderbolt, and he immediately broke down, saying:
"This is terrible! An AI crisis! An AI crisis! Now we can't even trust a damn robot!"
"Young Master, I was created by you, so in name you are our mother..."
