Fjord waters, sleeping island. ,Chinese,…
By the time the last house rose, the skyline had turned a twilight. Although the sunset could not be seen, the afterglow through the clouds still left a golden light on the sea. If it weren't for the cold wind blowing in the face, such a scene would not look much different from autumn.
"Okay, that's it." Lian lifted the scarf around her neck so that her ears could be wrapped in the soft cotton wool. "Next, just move the furniture and bed in and you can move in."
"Masterpiece!" Durat Goldbeard clapped his hands and said, "So many houses have been built in only half a month. I thought Lord Tilly was just exaggerating at first."
"Lord Tilly never lies." He Feng interjected.
"Yes," he said, rubbing his thick double chin. "In this way, I can also relocate the people with confidence. Huh? What is this?"
The businessman from Crescent Moon Bay curiously groped for the raised groove-shaped low wall in the house, and bent down, stuck his head inside and looked back and forth.
"This is the heating thing I learned in the Western Region, it's called a kang." Lian explained, "It is connected to the stove. As long as there is a fire over there, the pit will become very warm. Then I will put it on it again. A layer of wood, with linen or wheat straw, is much more comfortable than normal furniture, whether it is a bench or a bed, especially in winter."
"Interesting design," Durat looked at Lian, "How many golden dragons would you need if you were to be hired for a long time?"
"Uh... what do you mean?" Lian was slightly startled.
"I went to work in Crescent Moon Bay. There are still a few deserted beaches in my territory that have not been developed. Your ability is an excellent helper." He rubbed his hands and said, "How many golden dragons do I need to pay for the Sleeping Charm, Tilly? Will the adults promise to let you follow me?"
"No, I didn't think about leaving"
"You can live a much better life there," interrupted Durat. "You can live in the same compound as me, and enjoy wine and game from the four kingdoms every day. There are attendants to accompany you wherever you go. It is a day that many people yearn for. As long as you serve me, it will not be a problem. Besides, didn’t Mrs. Tilly say that the Sleeping Charm will answer your request, no matter how much recruitment costs I can afford it."
Lian's brows furrowed. She was not unfamiliar with this attitude. She kept saying that it was hiring, but in fact it was not much different from buying herself. Just when she wanted to scold her loudly, He Feng gently took her hand and said, "According to your request does not mean that you will agree. There are some things that even witches can't do, and another point of reaching a contract is that it must be agreed by the parties. Row."
"You mean I can't get the money? I've never seen anyone doing this kind of business," Durat said in an unpleasant tone. "Could it be that your remarks when you cast the Sleeping Charm were just to make fun of us? Sooner or later, no one will be there. Inquiries."
"That's not necessarily true," someone suddenly said behind him. "Whether it's the fjords or the four kingdoms, the bounty guild composed of witches is the only one. If you don't come to visit, others will naturally come."
"You are again" The businessman turned his head and couldn't help but startled, "Lord Lei, Lei Ting!"
"I had an idea when Sleeping Charm formulated the charter. Signing a contract requires the approval of the employee to take into account the risks that may exist in the task. We can't force them to go," Lei Ting said with a loud laugh, "What do you think? Is there a problem?"
"No... This is very reasonable," Durat's expression quickly returned to normal, "Then... I'll have to trouble you in the future, Miss Lian."
"Huh," Lian sighed in relief as he watched the backs of the merchant and his group leave, "Thank you."
"It doesn't matter, I just happened to pass by," Lei Ting smiled, "Didn't you follow Lord Tilly to the west?"
"Well, but I came back with Honey and Zephyr first, because Sleeping Island needs to prepare supplies and houses for the winter," she said briefly. "Have you completed your expedition?"
"Hahaha, that's right... This is really an incredible journey," Lei Ting's eyes lit up when he talked about the adventure, "This is the first time I have seen the sea with completely different heights. The ships are almost like It was like flying, and it drove vertically towards the cliff formed by the waves, but we didn't fall into the deep sea! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed that there are such strange scenes in the world."
"Different heights... sea surface?" Lian murmured. What kind of sight is this? The sea water is not a stone, can it not flow down? "
"Well, I named it the sea line, just northeast of the Shadow Islands. After flipping up, the cliff is like a long line with no visible edge, dividing the ocean into two completely different sections." He patted excitedly. Chest, "I can't wait to try the next longer voyage!"
As expected of the most outstanding explorer in the fjords, the first thing he talked about when he came back was adventure, not his daughter who was far away in the west... Lian looked at the other party's endless talk and shook his head helplessly.
When night fell and the temperature outside plummeted, Lian climbed onto the bed early, which was the most relaxing time of her day. For more than a month, in addition to building a batch of new houses, she also remodeled the old houses of other witches. Huddled on the warm kang bed with everyone, chatting about what I saw and heard in Border Town, answering the sometimes curious and sometimes envious questions of my partners, and chatting casually for most of the night.
This time I'm talking about the bird's snout mushroom.
When it comes to rolling it back and forth in a little butter, frying it until golden on both sides, and then sprinkle some salt on it, it is a very delicious dish, there is a sound of drooling all around.
"Ah... I want to eat this too." Shadow shouted, "I chewed dried fish on board for a month, and now my mouth is full of salty taste."
"It's good," Moriel couldn't help pinching Lian, "If only Sir Tilly's older brother invited me."
"Hey, what's even more amazing is that you haven't heard it yet," someone laughed. "There is water coming out of the walls when you take a shower, and there are soaps that make your body smell good after you wash it."
"Is there such a thing?" Shadow asked curiously.
"Of course, I brought another one back," Lian pouted, "but I've run out."
"Don't talk about this, they have at least experienced it. After I followed Lord Tilly to the Western Region, I picked them up immediately, and I didn't enjoy anything!" He Feng complained.
Listening to the witches' chatter, an idea suddenly popped into Lian's mind.
If he wanted to "long-term hire" his Highness Roland Wimbledon instead of Durat Goldbeard, would he agree
After thinking about it, she found that if the other party was Roland, she would not be able to say a word of rejection.
What a shame!
Lian shrank into the quilt and glanced left and right. Fortunately, the oil lamp has now been blown out, and no one will notice her own thoughts.
But when will Lord Tilly accept His Royal Highness Roland
It would be great if they could stay together forever... Lian Jiang tightened the scarf in her arms, so that both herself and the other witches could live happily in Border Town.
