At dawn.
The ferocious-looking fire dragon spread its wings, carried Chu Xiaoye and others, flew into the sky from the top of the highest castle in Binluo City, and flew away quickly.
outside the city.
Carter sat on the horse and watched the fiery dragon retreating away. When it disappeared, Fang turned the horse's head and led the army towards the holy city, the capital of the Custer Empire, with murderous intent.
Duoya sat at the front of the fire dragon, commanding this grumpy guy.
The journey was smooth, and we occasionally encountered a few fire dragons in the sky. They were all familiar with this guy and did not stop them or raise an alarm.
Soon, they flew off the map of the Custer Empire.
However, not long after they crossed the border and came to a forest with undulating mountains, two pterosaurs suddenly rose from the forest and let out a sharp cry.
Sitting on one of the pterosaurs was a young orc holding a spear.
When they came closer, the orc young man raised his hands and said, "It turns out to be Miss Duoya from Bingluo City. Where are you going?"
Duoya said politely: "I'm sorry, because the matter was urgent, I didn't notify you in advance. My father ordered me to go to Lant Island to collect some things, so I need to go over your country. Please report to General Moffat."
The orc young man quickly said respectfully: "Miss Duoya, you are so polite. The general was very satisfied with the last transaction with your city. He also said that next time he has time, he will definitely go to your city to express his gratitude. I will report it to the general and send out the message. Qianli Falcon, inform the people in front so as not to waste Miss Duoya’s time.”
Duoya smiled and said, "Thank you so much, sir."
The orc young man quickly left with another pterosaur.
Duoya explained to Chu Xiaoye behind him: "Our Binluo City has business dealings with many countries. When General Moffat suppressed the rebellion, they were in urgent need of weapons and armor. It was us who helped them without paying in advance. They shipped it urgently, and the price was very low. Therefore, General Moffat was grateful to my grandfather. Their country is adjacent to our Custer Empire, and they have always had a good relationship. Therefore, our pterosaurs can be very safe. The earth passed over them.”
Chu Xiaoye couldn't help but sigh: "It's good to have money. Even the airspace of other countries can be used at any time without notifying it in advance. By the way, Duoya, how much wealth does your Binluo City have?"
This was a very sensitive topic and they had only known each other for a few days.
Chu Xiaoye just asked casually and never thought that the girl would answer. When he was about to ask something else, Duoya said seriously: "Actually, I don't know too much. I only know that my father manages Bingluo." Regarding the city's finances, he once told me that even if the entire castle is full, it may not be able to hold it. Therefore, our gold coins are stored in the safest place, leaving some liquidity in Binluo City."
"The entire... entire castle can't fit in?"
The tall castle in the middle of Bingluo City appeared in Chu Xiaoye's mind, with a shocked expression on his face.
Is this the so-called super rich, so rich that he can rival the country
Duoya continued: "Actually, Binluo City is just a small place. We have rented cities in many countries and bought many islands on the ocean. We mine, store things, build fishing grounds, smelt iron, and make weapons. , many of Grandpa’s subordinates, as well as my uncles and uncles, are all outside helping to run the business.”
“…”
Chu Xiaoye couldn't help but said: "Miss Duoya, are you showing off your wealth?"
Duoya turned around, looked at him with some embarrassment, and said, "Master Ye, I'm just telling you the truth. I won't show off these things. I don't like any of these things."
Chu Xiaoye seemed to have seen a certain big shot in his past life. He was wealthy and was making money every day, but he told everyone without blushing or heartbeat, "I don't love money."
"Miss Doya, what do you like?"
Chu Xiaoye decided to find out the thoughts of those big shots from this girl.
Duoya thought for a moment and said: "I like to lead the army and protect the country like Princess Carter. I like to ride a horse, be unrestrained and free, and not worry about business and money. I like to be alone on the green grassland. Go up and enjoy the blue sky, daytime, cool breeze and green water.”
Chu Xiaoye interjected: "There are lions on the grassland, and they can eat people."
Duoya smiled and said: "I'm not afraid, isn't it because of you? Lord Ye, you are just a lion, you will protect me, right?"
Chu Xiaoye was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
Will he be there in the grassland of this girl's dream
Duoya's hair was fluttering and her eyes were looking into the distance, as if she was reminiscing about something. After a while, she turned back and said softly: "Sir Ye, I often dream that I turn into a lion, wandering endlessly on the grassland. Live a carefree life, protected by a pride of lions, accompanied by friends, not worrying about many things, eating, sleeping, and playing. That kind of life must be very interesting, right?"
Chu Xiaoye's heart was shaken and he looked at her blankly.
Duoya murmured: "I really want to become a lion and see what life is like."
Chu Xiaoye looked at her with complicated eyes and said, "Miss Duoya, maybe you were a little lion in your previous life."
Duoya smiled and said: "Master Ye, do you think we will have previous lives?"
"Will do."
Chu Xiaoye said with certainty.
He was a human in his previous life, and a lion and an elf in this life, right
"Okay, but it would be nice if I could be like Master Ye."
Duoya was envious.
Chu Xiaoye looked at her side face and said, "Miss Duoya, who picked your name for you?"
"name?"
Duoya looked at him doubtfully and said, "It seems to be grandpa."
After saying that, she recalled it carefully, and then said: "No, it seems that I named it myself. When I was a child, my grandfather helped me decide on this name after hearing me mention it. I didn't know what I was doing. Where did I hear this name?"
Chu Xiaoye stared at her closely and said, "Every time Miss Duoya dreams, is the lion you turn into also named Duoya?"
Duoya smiled and said: "Of course, my name is Duoya, and the lion I turned into is naturally called Duoya."
"Then have you ever had a nightmare, that is... when you turned into a lion, you suddenly encountered danger..."
Chu Xiaoye asked again.
Duoya nodded and said: "Well, I have a lot of nightmares. Once, I remember I met a very big male lion and bit my head off in one bite, haha."
When Chu Xiaoye was in shock, Lan Nixi, who was sitting behind her, suddenly said: "Naliya often had this kind of dream when she was a child. She once told me that she also dreamed that she turned into a little lion. Life on the grassland."
