…
"Pong Pong."
There was a knock on the door outside the wooden house, "Is Miss Ao here?"
Olina opened the door and found the clerk of the Secretariat standing outside. Seeing the dragon girl, he took a heavy package from his back and placed it at the door of the room, then took out a small book and handed it to her, "This is the newly approved extra reward. Please press your fingerprint here to indicate that you have received it." Receive honorarium.”
finally come!
Olina quickly completed her fingerprints and took the package into the room.
This is also one of the few victories she has obtained from Xia Fan - as long as she undertakes a manned flight mission, she can receive an extra income. Although the single amount is not much, the accumulation is still considerable.
She was already looking forward to her next dispatch.
However, it is also a manned flight, so why do you feel that the reward is much higher this time
Olina couldn't wait to open the cloth bag.
Inside was a wooden box with a card on it.
She glanced at it, and there was only a short line on the card: You may need the things captured on the Natantine battleship, so I will give it to you as an extra reward.
Additional rewards
Olina opened the lid of the box, and on top was a money bag, which obviously contained the reward for the long-distance raid. Under the money bag, there was a set of folded clothes and a pair of bright red high heels.
Looking at this outfit, warmth surged in her heart, and at the same time, the corners of her eyes suddenly felt a little sore.
Yes, this is the traditional ceremonial robe of Oceania.
Although the Holy Wing Islands and other oceanic countries are competitors in maritime trade and resource development, they have influenced each other in customs, so their dress and dress are basically similar. Especially the clothing of the upper class nobility, as long as it becomes popular in one country, it will soon spread to other kingdoms.
Touching the clothes in her hands, Olina couldn't help but think of the Okan family's fiefdom, the slightly old castle, and her brother...
I don’t know how he is doing in the academy.
It would be nice if I could send a letter back to the Holy Wing Islands.
After calming down a little, she unbuttoned, took off her clothes, tried to put on this light blue ceremonial robe, and then put her feet into exquisite high heels.
It fits surprisingly well.
By the way, when Xia Fan measured his body shape, he seemed to have measured his normal form as well, so it makes sense to know the size.
Olina spread her curly silver hair and looked at herself in the bronze mirror, as if she had returned to the day she first arrived in Daqi.
Moreover, the box contained not only the dress, but also a woolen scarf and a thick bearskin coat. Judging from the color scheme, it should be the same set as the dress.
She finally had a few pieces of clothing that she could change.
Otherwise, you have to carefully dry the clothes with dragon flame every time you wash them. If you are not careful, you will leave permanent burn marks, and the process is quite tiring.
At this time, footsteps came from the yard next door. It must be that Miss Yu and Xintao were back.
Olina suddenly wanted to show her new image to the two of them—the other person was one of the few people she could talk to in the city, so she naturally wanted to share good things with them.
Dragon Girl walked out of the house, and Xintao noticed her changes immediately.
"Wow... this dress is so beautiful!" The little girl came to the fence, leaned forward and looked at it, "It doesn't seem to be Jinxia Clothing Factory's ready-made clothes? And these shoes, can you really stand firm? It always feels very... Looks like he could fall down easily."
"It's okay if you get used to it." Olina smiled and briefly told the origin of the robe, "In our place, after the age of fourteen, aristocratic women will start to learn how to walk in high heels, and even have a kind of dance. Only your toes are allowed to touch the ground, and you have to dance on your tiptoes most of the time.”
"Hmm... the straight toes and tall legs are really easy to imagine, especially when you are forced to stand next to the wall." Xintao thought about it, "Maybe the purpose of giving you this outfit is to make people think... You wear it first, and then you tear it apart with your own hands—"
Yu Shuangxue punched Xintao on the head, knocking the second half of her sentence back into her stomach.
"Sorry, she has no idea what she's talking about."
Olina tilted her head... Here it comes again, the strange etiquette of the East.
"Well..." Yu Shuangxue directed the topic elsewhere, "I saw what was said in the newspaper. It turns out that the black shadow flying into the sky that night was really you. So... you are actually a demon?"
"Yes." Olina replied, "I didn't mean to hide it from you, but the customs here are very different from those in my hometown, and I was worried about scaring you."
"No wonder you have such a good appetite." Xintao muttered, "But why did Mr. Xia only invite Miss Chi and not you, Sister Ao?"
"Invitation? That treacherous—er, I mean Xia Fan?"
"Yes, you two participated in the battle to eliminate the invaders, right?"
That six-legged snake... Olina thought to herself, on the way to the Silver Star Tree Boat, that guy didn't seem to like her very much. "I'm not interested in being in the limelight, so it doesn't matter if I give her the credit." At least the reward was paid on time, and that was enough. By the time she fulfills her contract and returns to the Holy Wing Islands, these reputations will become meaningless.
"That's it... Sister Ao really doesn't care about money." Xintao sighed, "Your family must be very rich."
Olina's body suddenly paused, "What is the relationship between the two?"
"Of course there is. Mr. Xia said that the celebration is just the beginning. In the future, there will be a special event for Miss Chi, and the proceeds will be divided equally between the two parties. If she can really make a splash at the celebration, the subsequent income will be quite considerable." Xintao said with great insight, "This is just like competing for the oiran, fame is everything!"
"You have already come out of Wushuang Pavilion, so don't dwell on the past anymore." Yu Shuangxue glared at her.
Income - considerable.
Olina only heard this sentence.
All the thoughts that I didn’t care about before were thrown out of my mind.
She suddenly felt that she had indeed been treated unfairly.
…
The week passed quickly, and Jinxia City ushered in the long holiday promulgated by Her Royal Highness the Princess - three days before and four days after, a full seven days. Everyone can put down their work and enjoy this rare leisure time. There is no need to work, and at the same time, the salary is calculated. This is the first time that everyone has heard of such a good thing.
Of course, paid leave is limited to staff of the Secretariat and those involved in projects led by the Secretariat. Businessmen and private industries are obviously not among them. In other words, the more lively the occasion, the less they can relax. Special days like celebrations are often the most active moments for trading.
And the activities in the first two days were indeed related to business.
The original storage area has been transformed into the largest square in Jinxia City. Xia Fan ordered people to set up a booth on it and displayed some new gadgets he had recently tinkered with. He took this opportunity to hold a comprehensive exhibition.
