Xia Zoe left the St. Airo Empire ahead of schedule as planned, but met the Pope at the port who was also waiting there ahead of time-the Pope said that he was going to the Territory of Desinia.
So Xia Zoe provided a downwind boat.
More than half a month later, apart from the Pope and Archbishop Paul whom he met additionally, Xia Zoe finally returned to the Desinia territory with a boatload of "harvests".
Before the long train was about to enter the range of Paar Mountain, a heavy snow fell turbulently all night.
The next day was silver everywhere.
The road was covered with snow, and the convoy had to slow down. Fortunately, Mount Parr was already in sight, and the castle was about to arrive.
In the carriage, Xia Zoe was covered with a fluffy blanket and sat beside the Pope and read a book.
The distance between the two is very close, so close that the ends of their hair can touch and intertwine with each other. In the swaying carriage of the carriage, their arms will touch each other from time to time, which is slightly intimate.
The two cubs, Eggman and Rice Cake, huddled together in the soft cushion and fell asleep.
The big fluffy tail of the rice cake covered Egg Boy, and Egg Boy's small paw was tucked under the head of the rice cake, and after a while, he began to slap his paw.
Xia Zuoyi removed the book in front of him and looked over—
Seeing that the rice cake was about to be woken up by Dan Zai's humming, he bent down and stretched out his hand in time, and gently pulled Dan Zai's little paws out from under the rice cake's head.
Immediately afterwards, Xia Zuoyi patted the backs of the two cubs soothingly, and finally put them to sleep again.
—One sleeps on his stomach, and the other sleeps curled up. The belly of the two cubs is very regularly ups and downs.
He couldn't help yawning, rubbed his eyes, raised the curtain slightly with one finger, and whispered, "It's almost there, you must go to bed first."
"Sleepy?"
At this moment, a low voice came from the side, and there was a hint of laughter in it.
"Um."
Xia Zoe turned to look at Segalot: "Your Majesty, before you boarded the boat, you said that you would come to the Desinia territory to confirm one thing..."
"Is this matter serious?"
When he accidentally met the Pope at the port of the St. Airo Empire, to be honest, Xia Zoe was surprised and broke out in a cold sweat.
After all, he thought that the Pope had learned of the "good thing" he had done before leaving the royal city.
But Segalot knew that he knew, but he did not intend to stop it.
The reason why he appeared at the port early was to return to Desinia territory by boat with Shazoe.
Xia Zoe always has to ask why.
Segalote said that he came to Desinia territory to confirm one thing for himself.
Xia Zoe thought—it must not be easy for the Pope to confirm it himself, and I don’t know if it will have any impact on the Territory of Desinia…
Where it concerns him, he always pays attention.
So, Xia Zuoyi asked.
And said: "Your Majesty, if the situation is serious, if there is anything that needs my help, just say..."
Don't be rude.
Segalot seemed to ponder for a while, then raised his lips and smiled: "This matter has no impact on anyone, but it has a very big impact on me..."
"As the Pope for so long, this is probably the first problem I have encountered, and I want to solve it myself."
Xia Zuoyi was surprised: "It only affects you? What kind of problem is that?"
Segalot: "You'll know later."
Maybe never know.
Seeing that His Majesty the Pope did not intend to continue the conversation, Xia Zuoyi also stopped the topic knowingly.
Since it's not about his territory, there's no need to worry.
Soon, the convoy entered the Pal Mountains and then arrived at the castle.
As soon as the carriage procession stopped, the fluffy ones ran away, and they entered the castle one by one along the familiar passage for beasts.
Castles are familiar and safe homes, where they are not subject to any restraints.
Xia Zuoyi also jumped out of the carriage holding the egg and rice cake.
He was not in a hurry to enter the castle, but looked back, and handed the two cubs that Hen Haw woke up to to Judit to hold: "How many people are still stubborn and dissatisfied?"
In addition to the alchemists who came back with him on the carriage behind him, they were the other alchemists he "invited" to convince people by force.
Along the way, Xia Zuoyi has done a lot of ideological work and verbal persuasion to them, which has really moved many people.
After all, being an alchemist in a noble territory is not a part-time job.
They are the same under the hands of any noble, the only difference is how much money the nobles can spend for their alchemy research.
Xia Zoe is not only a noble with the highest power, but also a very experienced and accomplished alchemist.
Well, aside from the way they were brought back to Desinia's territory, following such a lord who was not short of money and power, they actually earned it.
But there are some people who can't listen to Xia Zuoyi's extra sincere words.
Judit hugged the two cubs and said, "Lord, only Master Chebman Norton and his apprentice Begin are still insisting that you let them leave here quickly."
"The attitude of the rest has softened."
"Your method of letting the alchemists in the alchemy tower ride in the same carriage with them is very effective."
Compared with the dissatisfaction or anger of the other alchemists who were bound, Chebman Norton has always been very silent.
He didn't look like he was resisting.
It's just that every time he said that Xia Zuoyi would let him and his apprentice Bejin leave, he couldn't accept becoming an alchemist in the alchemy tower.
Xia Zuoyi was puzzled and asked him why.
Chebman Norton didn't answer at first.
He didn't speak until the fleet arrived at the port of the territory—because the president of the Alchemist Association had the kindness of teaching him, and the Ed Chamber of Commerce provided financial support when he was in difficulty.
Chebman Norton said to Xia Zoe, "I'm not a genius, and I can't compare to you."
"I also owe you an apology. I studied your botanical medicine and ointment without permission, and then the Ed Chamber of Commerce will sell it..."
Xia Zuoyi: "you don't need to look down on yourself."
"Many people wanted to understand the proportions and preparations of the botanical medicines and ointments that appeared at that time, but only you have researched them, and this alone is enough to see your ability."
"As for the Alchemist Association, I have no intention of suppressing it, I just want to develop together."
"After all, even if I let these alchemists leave, they will not be able to return to the alchemist association. In order for their future alchemy research to proceed smoothly, they still need to find a noble to provide financial and other support for this..."
"But look, is there any nobleman who is more reliable than me?"
Zoey Xia's face is not
Red said breathlessly, "I don't think so."
Chebman Norton was silent.
Xia Zuoyi continued: "Although the Ed Chamber of Commerce helped you when you were in trouble, the alchemy results you provided must have made the Ed Chamber of Commerce a lot of money over the years."
"The reward has already been rewarded."
Xia Zuoyi felt that what he said made sense.
But Chebman Norton was probably stubborn in some ways, and he never let up.
…
Xia Zoe stood in front of the castle and thought for a while, then walked towards the carriage where Chebman Norton was.
At this time, Chebman Norton and his apprentice Bei King Kong got off the carriage.
Begin was a little hesitant to speak after seeing Xia Zoe - in fact, he was a little moved by what this Desinia lord said.
But unfortunately the teacher refused.
What Bei Jin didn't know was that Chebman, who was helped off the carriage by him, was already a little shaken, but he was still a little stubborn.
Chebman watched Xia Zoey come over, thinking that he was going to persuade him again, and he was ready in his heart.
Who knew that Xia Zuoyi came to the front and threw a sentence: "The local anesthetic you have developed has the wrong treatment method and direction of use."
"what?!"
Chebman couldn't help but blurt out, "Why do you say that? What's wrong? What's wrong..."
Chebman kept asking.
He has always been rigorous and did not allow problems with his research results. At this time, he urgently wanted to know the mistake, so he hurriedly followed after Xia Zuoyi turned around and left.
Begin was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly ran behind with something.
A person who is too late to make a decision is thinking too much.
If he is given another thing to think about, his attention will be quickly diverted, and then he will forget the thing he wants to decide or make a decision.
The timing was wrong earlier.
Now that we have arrived at Paar Mountain, Weiss and Fort Komoy are all around, so why would you want to leave after seeing it for yourself.
What's more, Xia Zoe believed that everything in the alchemy tower would make Chebman Norton reluctant to leave.
as predicted.
Within two days, Chebman Norton's attitude began to soften and he hesitated.
And when Xia Zuoyi personally led the alchemists he had harvested to the Alchemy Tower.
- Just as women are captured by clothes, jewelry, cosmetics, etc., these alchemists are also completely conquered by the professional and complete instruments and equipment in the alchemy tower.
The gestures and expressions of them stroking the equipment are like meeting a beloved girl, obsessed and excited.
Xia Zoe finally proved to Chebman Norton that some of the therapeutic use of local anesthesia was wrong.
In the end, Chebman Norton decided to stay in Desinia territory.
And he personally wrote a letter and sent someone to the Saint Air Empire to hand it over to the president of the Ed Chamber of Commerce.
The letter says that he left with Lord Desinia voluntarily, and will stay in the alchemy tower for a long time after that, hoping that the president will forgive him for leaving without saying goodbye.
All in all, the meaning is - I'm sorry, I'm leaving, but you don't come after me because I don't want to go back.
…
Not to mention the pain in his chest when President Thomas was angry again.
After waking up from bed one morning, Zoe Xia glanced at the sea map on the system interface as usual, and then! ! !
He opened his eyes involuntarily.
Immediately, he suddenly got up from the bed and sat up—in the sea map of the system interface, the small green dots representing the killer whale dumplings finally stopped spinning in place, but began to swim back happily!
This means that Samuel Fern, who went to sea to find a new continent, has also begun to return, and the wind is coming back!
Xia Zuoyi couldn't contain her happiness and excitement, she kicked and rolled on the bed several times, and laughed out loud.
And Qingtuan's action of combing the snow-white feathers in the early morning paused. Hearing the sound, he looked over, his head was tilted, and his blue-gold eyes couldn't help showing doubts and confusion...
